Post with headings

just came back from the graduation party at the eureka tower.

as much as i like meeting people, i really havent learnt to enjoy clubbing. or parties like this one.

What view?

tonight was my first time up at the eureka tower. 89th floor. nothing spectacular. i might as well just be in jonlee's balcony. or maybe i've just begun to take certain things for granted.

The Photoshoot Dude

Boy who did the photoshoot with me for the faculty has walked past me a million times without even acknoledging my existence. tonight, he came up to me and tried to make conversation, then said "you look great tonight", i said "oh thanks" and walked away. very turned off by him. maybe he mistook me for someone else and just wanted to chat me up.

Ant and Clubs

spotted anthony who was with his friend. went up to say hello and ended up getting persuaded to go clubbing at alumbra after the party by both him and broden. so this was the tipping point for the night. (ok, or maybe it was when broden tried again to get me to go some time after). a fair few had asked me to go along for the various after-parties before that and when they asked it was like - ah crap. i dont like saying no so many times in a row, especially to people i just met who try to be inclusive. and i think this was the biggest issue of the night: me feeling uncomfortable and annoyed at thedilemma.

ranting to wenyi just now made me realize the matter was not as straightforward as i thought. it's almost one of the rare few times i felt peer pressure in my post-kidhood and i did feel a strong desire to be a sport because that's generally who i am. yet at the same time, loud music dark places and dancing's really not my thing at all. so.. i suppose either way, i would have been somewhere in between who i really am and who i want to be for other people. and i'm not learning to live out what i told mandy a couple of weeks ago - that there are certain expecations that are meaningless to meet, sometimes even detrimental.

ah it's been such a long day. the highlight was.. everything else other than the grad party. haha i'm a little things person.

The Reverse Art Truck

rachel woke me up at 7am this morning so i could catch the train to meet eug at camberwell. guess who slept in? haha. i read a book i borrowed from vong in a little melbournian looking cafe called the Collective Espresso while waiting to be picked up. TRAT's all the way in Ringwood but it was so much fun just going through recyclable randomness that we could use for various projects. this is where i squeal in excitement. so glad he asked me along.

Lita

rushed back to the city to meet lita at mr tulk to talk about possibilities for next year and get a brief timeline for the coming week and a half. She's so enthusiastic and easy going! tim and phil bumped into us there. haha obviously a good place to catch up.

Tony

on the way back to arrow i decided to drop into this semi-underground bar around the RMIT area and had a chat with Tony who runs the place. when i found out he started plush fish in melbourne uni i went "what? ohhh! coool! Tony? (to double check is name)". and i told him i've heard about him before. HAHAHA. luckily one of the bartenders jumped in and said with a chuckle "he gets that a lot". lovely man. Eugene's told me about when he was still in plush fish. now i can say i've met the man. LOLOLOL.

"ciao bella!"

Colour-me-in!

spent a couple of hours at bron win's painting st kilda beach houses with rachel. ok i was painting beachhouses while she did a hot air balloon. heaps of fun too. unfortunately i had to leave to prepare for the party. threw on a dress clipped up my hair. tried a bit of make-up and wiped most of it away.

Good night.
