More procrastinating

I'm like one of the most efficient procrastinators in the world! Self-proclaimed, that is.
I've got 2 assignments due this week and I'm still refusing to start on it. This Free-and-Easy lifestyle is starting to crash me.

So anyways, this weekend is house visiting day.
We went to a self-invitation unofficial house-warming party at Altitudes, Taringa.
Basically we invited ourselves to their house and held a..... I'd say gathering.
Our point was to go 'Googoogaga' over their sub-penthouse, which really is an apartment with a big balcony.
I guess the biggest achievement for that trip was that we found Anabelle a new roommate.
Meet SpiderBob.
So we left since the owners had plans for tonight. We were suppose to go home and work on our assignments, but after leaving college, leaving daily served western food, Fish & Chips at A Salt and Battery in the Ville was calling out to our stomachs.
Na was more hungry than to be conscious of taking photos to share with everybody. I swear I placed the camera on the table so I'd remember to snap a shot of my fish&chips. Unfortunately, my eyes only set upon the camera after I've wiped clean my plate.
So, that's Na's weekend life for you.
Cheers!

HARDCORE Multi-Tasking

The number of things Na is currently busy with At This Moment:

1. Blogging [seriously, I'm already so occupied but I still insist.]
2. Uni Research
3. The Secret Code Review [Have you heard!?!?!?]
4. The Secret Code file sorting
5. Photoshopping
6. Transferring files on DC (college intra-network)
7. MSNing
8. Clearing my RSS Feeds on TVXQ/JKpop
9. Clearing my inbox(es)
10. Syncing iPhone (that includes downloading and sorting files)
11. Watching Very Important YT video links randomly linked from DongBang friend on MSN
12. Downloading these videos because they are Very Important.
13. Printing notes
14. Sorting out my grocery budget for tomorrow.
15. Eating & Drinking.
Plus getting annoyed at the fire alarm in the next door college.


Btw, College in Australia means Hostel. NOT pre-university or a substitute for university.

The colleges here are independent of the University. The University is in no way responsible for anything that happens within the College.

(Except if there's a fire breakout in the college and burns down the Uni buildings since the Colleges are located within the Uni).


Tohoshinki's 4th Japanese Album -- The Secret Code!
Release 25th March (That's Tomorrow in Sg/Korea/Japan and Today here!!!).
Have you heard it???
Can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

Na gets particular when she is Brissy.

Have you been following SuJu's Sorry Sorry Comeback?
If you haven't, here's your chance to catch up!

Na's reviews:
Na first got SUPER distracted by Eunhyuk's shoes/pants. At first she thought it was Andre Kim's Man Platform Boots. Then she realise they were high top velcro shoes with REALLY LONG socks/stockings/leggings...? with Berms.
*Scratches Head* Right~
Then when my Brissy Dong Bang Friend (also SuJu Mates) commented about Heechul looks better with(out) sunglasses, Na went back to re-watch it again.
SHockINg REvelatION!
HEECHUL ONLY APPEARS IN THE LAST MINUTE OF A 3 MINUTE PERFORMANCE!!!!
and apparently I'm the last person to find out.

Anyways... on to my life.
Na's at IKEA in Logan, Brissy!
The concept and layout is exactly the same as the one in Singapore. Except, it's at least 2 times bigger.
Oh... and this part as well... where you get self-serve cones.
Next was HyperDome, pretty near IKEA.
Imagine the entire Vivo City spread out into a 1 level shopping centre *2.
It took us 20minutes to speed walk ourselves from 1 end to the other w/o stopping.

Lastly, it was Seafood Kimchi Jigae @ MatDongSan in the City!!!
Na gets absolutely Korean-fied whenever she's in Brissy.
There's a big box of Kimchi lying in the refrigerator. :D

NHK Utacon

Looks like KBS's Open Concert, they have all sorts/genres available.
Although the audio isn't the best, but my darlings are still sounding excellent!

Na sees Yoochun's hair: *Pukes in mouth*

2 Trips to Three Monkeys/West End within 3 days.
Getting home late in Brissy is not the same as in S'pore.
Late in S'pre = After 1am.
Late in Brissy = After 11pm. - Since public transport ends by 10pm-ish.

Life in Union College is like going on a Vacation with a Tour Group.
Meal times are fixed and menu is more or less pre-decided.

Life in Campus Lodge is like going on a Free-and-Easy Vacation.
I eat whenever I want, whatever I want, wherever I want.

No wonder I prefer life in Brissy so much more than before.

Nowadays, every weekend seems filled with places to go and things to see.
Next stop, IKEA at Logan.

Na says: Meatball sauce, here I come!!! ^^

2nd Friday The Thirteen

The 1st Friday The 13th of 2009 was pretty horrifying.
The 2nd Friday The 13th of 2009 was pretty significant.

It's SUPER JUNIOR's COMEBACK DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see their 'Sorry, Sorry' Comeback performance, especially their awesome-looking dance choreo!!!
Just a few more hours!!!

Aussie has been raining alot these few days... for a country suffering in drought, it's a pretty rare sight i must say.
But it beats having the heat around.

This portion is for all readers, friends and family of Na.
Before I get anymore questions like:
"So how's life in Aus?"
"Settled down yet?"
"How are you?"
type of questions, here's my answer:
Na is fine, doing well. Her timetable is almost the same as last semester; 3 days study week. The weather was horrid when she first arrived but it's wet and cooling right now. She's sleeping well and eating well. The apartment is great and her housemates are wonderful. Adaptation was much easier and faster than last semester. In fact, she's used to Aussie life by Day 2 of her return. This time it seems much easier to stay in Australia.

Na's New Snail Mail Address
Campus Lodge
Bishop Tower Unit 5
Cnr Hood and Rock Street
St. Lucia, Qld 4067

Is there any HOPE?

IS THERE ANY HOPE? Part I
TVXQ and KAT-TUN's Showdown

TVXQ - Survivor


KAT-TUN - Rescue


Na never knew Jin could dance like that.
Na fears for TVXQ.
Bcuz it's direct Johnny's competition afterall.

Na sighs: Die lar... Gone alrdy. Oricon No.1 gone already. I can cry myself to bed tonight.

IS THERE ANY HOPE? Part II
(The following does not relate to what Na wrote above)
Just a reflection on a piece of news Na received from Sg.

When one gets too full of himself, over-confidence sets in.
This is when one starts to think that pigs can fly and cows have stripes/zebras have spots.

Let me clue you in.
The possibility of this piece of news to become a reality is as high as the chances of Na quitting TVXQ for good.
No Math Needed.
Go figure.

Refreshing~~~

After days of grueling heat, Brissy's skies finally relented.
Wet Wet Monday and finally it feels like Autumn For one day only?

Anyhows, Na loves kids from Gwangju Province.

Seungri ya!!! Come to Noona!!!
Autumn ya!!! Come to Nana!!!

Have You Heard??

SuJu's Friday The 13 Comeback just release their latest digital single 'Sorry, Sorry' (indeed).

Singaporeans will find a whole load of @*#%+$! in the lyrics:
"Shorty Shorty Shorty Shorty Shorty Shorty
Nickle Nickle Nickle Nickle Nickle Nickle
Push up Push up Push up Push up Push up Push up
Machiam Machiam Machiam Machiam Machiam Machiam
Baby~"

And it reminds me of Britney Spear's Gimme More.

What's SuJu's comeback trademark?
Returning with repetitive title tracks: Don't Don --> Sorry Sorry

Anyhow....
"Let's Dance~!!"

Changmin Saranghae!!

Yaaa!!! So cute!!!
To grow up into this innocent looking kid
And then into this handsome young chap.
Because when he can look all innocent and pure in the public's eye,
He would try to portray decency and maturity for his image.
But seriously, we've no idea what is he hiding behind all the publicity.
Jaejoong Umma has the most mysterious looking face. But Changmin is the rightful owner of a mysterious life that fans have absolutely no idea of.
Maybe because he doesn't talk much, so people don't hear his stories.
And when he finally tries to steal some limelight for himself, unrevealed stories of himself starts pouring and catches the Cassies off-guard.
Here are more model-perfect pictures for your viewing pleasures
Let's just forget about his mysteries and focus on how hot this kid has grown.
Okay. I'm in no position to call him a kid since he's 3 months older than I am.
But photos like these gives me all the reasons to.
Lastly, one of Changmin's proudest asset:
MangDungi!!!!

Take a breather

Na's back in Aussie and within 2 days, she got her engine running and back on (school's) track.

Na has moved in Aussie!!
No more old Union College Life!
Updates on new snail mail address soon, cuz while u're sitting there waiting for a form of communication with your old friend (that's me), I'm busy getting used to sharing bathroom with my housemate, waking up to no breakfast on the table, a single sized bed, and sharing territories (by which I mean kitchen storage/bathroom storage/etc.) with housemates.

But I'm definitely not regreting my decision to move out of college. Bcuz word has it that after we moved out, the number of Asians in Union College has dropped from approx. 30 people to less than 10.
Yikes!
Meal times must suck horribly being cornered by white skins and blondie/brunettes.

Surprisingly, the homesick part started days before my departure and ended on the 2nd day of arrival in Brissy.
I got used to this place almost immediately, not feeling the longingness I've had on my first trip.

Na admits: The fact that UQ has a new internet download quota promotion of 30gb for A$50 (usual price A$240) really makes Na alot more comforted and willing to return.
At least now she can watch YT and download TVXQ more freely without worrying too much about draining her quota.

Skype me soon before this Download Quota Promtion ends (on 31March). After that I won't be able to Skype as much as I want to anymore.

Na's Regrets: Changmin's Super Duper Belated Birthday Dedicated Post is right up!
