Holiday mood=Holiday rule!!!

Thx Godddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd, we finally finished this sem 3 lol!!!!!! I feel like I'm once again free from the demon, no more assignment...no more headaches....no more overnight battle...no more pimples@@... no more......ah sorry can't think of anymore~ Anyway, you know what I mean, just free at last!!! Holiday~~~ I ' m c o m i n g =__=YYY


Both this week and the week before I felt so disoriented and dwelled with all those thousands and thousands word limits essay.....so painful and excruciating, thinking about it makes me doleful and miserable. I'm trippin everything I think about writing assignments and to be honest, writing is not necessarily the dreadful part....but STARTING the essay is the hard part. Although I have to admit that this sem was much more relax and laid back compare to the previous two semsters. I think that's because we don't have to write as much essay as we have to from the previous two semster and the work load is not that cut-throatin'.


Hold' up.... don't y'll get the wrong impression, caz I'm not saying that this semster is easy~~~~~ is not!!!!!!! This semster concentrates on a more practical level of assessment, whereas the last two semster were much more analytically and theoretically. I think is safe to say that most of my classmates will agree with me that the most painful essay we have to dealt with was Whittle's assignment on Karl Marx and this critical theory of.........."you know what".....(dun really know about everyone, but I chose "Class conflict" for my essay and.......is NOT FUN!!!!!) However, I do have to say that it was quite enjoyable, and useful learning about Karl Marx and the concept of Capitalism because I quite like the combination of politics and history.


To be completely straight-up, I enjoyed the video-making and podcast the most because it was something that I never imagine myself digging into but after I did, I have to admit....it felt goooooooddddd!!!!! The video-making process was very challenging but at the same amusing and exciting because I never knew holding a camera requires that much amount of knowledges and tone loads of techniques@@", so Thanks again Julia!!! Moreover, I also enjoyed the podcast experiences because I didn't really know what the word "Podcast" was when I first started the lesson. I definitely appreciate every moment, starting from learning about using Garage Band to make audio tracks, to the actual recording of the podcast using the funky audio kit (oh yah...is expensive, 800 auzzie bucks....u gotta be kidding me!). It was doubtlessly an once in a life-time experience and that I need to thank Kilbey for everything he has taught us. I sincerely believe that these podcasting skills would definitely come in handy in the future for all of us.


One more day to go before heading back to my lovely hometown, Hong Kong or one more day for my classmates before the holiday begins~~~~~~ so let us refresh our memories of the happy and the stressful moment throughout this semster and...................CHEERS~ and let the good times roll~~~~~~YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYHHHHHH

Blog Critique: Baghdad Burning

I have chosen to write my blog critique on, "Baghdad Burning". This blog is written by a women who lived in Iraq and literally witnessed the entire process of the American invasion. The blog is structured like a journal, indicating what she witnessed and experienced in Iraq. The blog tackles some of the most controversial and sensitive issues such as war, politics and occupation in Iraq. http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/

This blog was first launched in August 31, 2003. Unlike some fragmented or manufactured story, this blog allows us the most unreachable insight and never been seen story on the Iraq side. This is largely due to the fact that the American government always attempt to either censored the harmful news or modified them into what they want their people to see. In a sense that it deminishes the war and made it seem entirely natural and normal. Therefore, this blog put fowards a complete opposite perspective to people who really seek to dig-deep into the contaminated and unobtainable news, without relying on the fabricated story phrased by the American government.

Moreover, this blog helps to promote the awareness of what is truly happening in Iraq, it helps us slap back to reality.......the world is not as peaceful and innocent as we hope it is. The blogger has intergraded her voices and personal experiences about her views on the Iraq war. She usually report her stories through incooperating the feeling and suffering of her fellow Iraqi people. The most brilliant and hilarious thing about this blogger is that she always carry a sense of desecrate humors and she criticizes and make fun of the American government and Bush's policy using glossy, witty and extreme sarcastic remarks. I remember so clearly that I almost laughed myself to tears when I saw the posts where she uses extreme satire to criticize both of Bush's adminstration and the Iraq political leaders.

On March 06, 2006, she published a post about who deserves to win the Oscar for the ultimate mastermind behind the mass destruction in Iraq. The nominates included some influential figures of Iraq political leaders and of course, the most notorious George Bush~~~~~~~(Boooo Boooooooo Booooooooo~~~keep it coming y'll). I will let you into a little insight of why I think she is sooooo hysterical, she wrote something like the "Nominees for Best Actor: Ibraheim Al-Jaffari in “Free Iraqi Elections” for his attempted portrayal of a non-sectarian, independent PM of a ‘legitimate’ Iraqi government". She continues, "George W. Bush in "OIF: The War on Terror" The third sequel to the original "Operation Iraqi Freedom: Weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Operation Iraqi Freedom: Liberating Iraqis". Bush's nomination comes for his convincing portrayal as the worlds first mentally challenged president". Pretty amazing right, wait until you see more of her humorous jokes and remarks in her blog. http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/search?q=election

Although she sometimes make funny remarks to ease the painful feeling of seeing her own country tore into pieces by the American intruders, she is I believe like most of the Iraqi people are profoundly heart-broken when ever they think about what is happening to their country. I strongly believe that she has every single reason to be upset and agitated because firstly the American government accused Iraq for weapon of mass destruction when really it was just an understatement of wanting to impose democracy into Iraq. Secondly, they destroyed the home of the Iraqi people and left a complete mess in the country, not to even mention how many causalities they have caused throughout the war since 2003-2007. The sickening feelings of what the American government has done are beyond indescribable.

The last aspect I wanted to point to is that this blog includes alot of hyperlink to other sites and blogs and also a couple of hyperlinks to some famous media broadcasting, such as the BBC News, New York Times and Al-Jazeera. And I would like from the bottom of my heart to applause to the author of this blog for her bravery to speak up for herself and ...to speak up for her people. To me, you really represent the modern Kanye West!!! (He is an African America rapper who lyrically and publicly criticized George Bush on his policy against the war of terror and the lack of promising policy to help the African Americans).

Three cheers for the author.........Hip hip~Hur-ray, hip hip~ Hur-ray, hip hip~Hur-ray!!!

You're the man~ A tribute to my dearest dad

Many people always prefer mom rather than dad when it comes down to parenting. We chinese even have a saying, or more like a jingle, "In this whole world, only mom is the best". Not doubt about that but in a certain degree, at least for me, the only person in this world that I would truly love.............is my dad. No hestiation about it!!

For most people, mom portrays the role of a better parent because they are loving and caring, and better yet, they gave birth to us. Dad on the other hand, represents the authoritian figure, the impassive, draggy and demanding half. However, my dad meant a whole world to me. After my dad and my mom got divorced, my dad worked so hard to single-handedly raise me and my brother up. He made me into a bigger and better individual that I'm today, without him, me and my brother would still be living in a miserable life... Without him, I can't even imgaine how my life would turn out. Without him, I will never be able to stand on my own.

The majority of you may think that mom is better, well that doesn't fly for me. I will just skip the depressed part of my life so that I don't have to think about my pass..... Caz everybody has something in their pass that they are either not proud of or they just don't want to talk about it anymore. All I can tell you is that my childhood was not as affectionate or loving as I would like it to turn out. And yah, it was quite the complete opposite, its just something that should never happen to any child but unfortunately, me and my brother suffered from it... I know my dad sometimes tried to explain to me about this but I just told him that what's done, it's done....we can never go back to how we were. And freakly speaking, if I were given another chance, I would never want to go back to how we were......it's just thinking about it makes me sick.

I don't really know how much the divorce thing may been impacted or influenced my dad, but he surely don't want me and my brother to get caught up in the heat, so he didn't tell us much about what happened. I know he is trying to protect us and my mom, and honestly at one point I felt like he should have dicussed with me and I was quite frustrated that I slashed out at him a couple of times. But now that I think about it, I felt like I was extremely and profoundly immature and disrespectful towards my dad because ultimately, it is not my place to judge him or criticize him because it is between him and my mom's business. Luckily, since my dad is such a understanding and forgiving person, he always calms me down in the most harmonious tone that it makes me feel renovated and optimistic again.


Since the divorce, my dad took on the most challenging and troublesome job that every single women dreamed of, but petrified when actually doing it. Bingo~~~~~~~ that's right, the role of mother. And yes, since my dad is divorced, he has to take on both the responsibility of being a mom and a dad. CAN you imgaine yourself going through that huh??? I guess not~!!! It's not a rocket science to realize how utterly and tiring it is to single-handedly bring up two children, but my dad insisted and insisted that he could do it. AND let me tell you this, he done it like nobody else can ever compare. He nailed down as if its a "piece-of-cake"!!!!!!! Not only does he phyiscally and emotionally nutured us, but he input shit-loads of effort into teaches me how to become a better open-handed and modest person. He always believed in me, period. Even if I was messing around, tiptoeing in my high school year or being so obnoxious and childish...... he chuck it all down and rarely does he gets angry at me. I know that he wanted what's best for me, and hands-down he has given me and my brother the best life that we could never have dreamed of. He provided us with everything he has and even though I know sometimes he may be exhausted and fed up trying to please us, but he never stop......he never quits. And yes, that's my poppi (it means dad, new word hoo)!!!!!!!


You guys may not fully understand why I wanted to make this tribute to my dad when you know that this is a blog about me and my dog, well apart from the fact that I wanted to let my dad know how I sincerely felt about him...I wanted to thank him for letting to have Haze. The reason is because my dad...he is not really a BIG fan when it comes down to dogs, and especially big dogs because he was biten by a dog when he was a child.... he kind of have this phobia or should I say nerve-racking feeling for dogs. Even so, he chose to buy Haze for me. I don't know what it is that made him do this, but from the bottom of my heart, I believe that he bought Haze because he loVes me (Well, at least for me, caz I can't think of any other reason to bet this reason@@). The best thing that came out from this experience is that my dad begin to regain his confidence with dogs, at least for Haze (remember, husky are very huge). But I know that my dad accepted Haze not because he finally overcome his phobia but he accepted Haze because of me. And the lovest thing is believe or not, he is slowly creating an intimate bond with Haze and to my surprise, Haze LOVE my dad................(Because dogs can usually sense people who are afraid of them and most of the time they will simply leave that person alone, but not this case...)

Finally, the reason why I wrote this tribute is largely because I wanted the whole world to recognize that not only mom represent the best parent, but also dad. Moreover, I really felt like I haven't gotten a proper chance to show how truthfully thankful I'm for everything that my dad has done for us, that I'm so proud of being her daughter and that I wouldn't trade anything in the world to be with you. We been through alot together, the goods and bads, but I know he will always love me no matter what, and same goes for me...And I will always be here for you, through the joy and pain, so please note that you will always have me and Steve (my brother) by your side.

My love for you is beyond words, is beyond describable, is beyond comprehension. I wanted to shout it aloud so that the world world can hear it, "I....LOVE.....U......DADDY" And Oh Yah~ congratulation again on your promotion!!!!!!!! You so deserved than anyone else!!!!! May the force always be with you~~~~~^o^

Life is precious, but things happen unexpectedly

I feel so disoriented and speechless when I heard that a husky has ate a two weeks old baby..................To be honest, I never thought anything like that would ever happen, not with a dog that is usually very gentle, friendly and sweet-tempered with children. I just can't believe what happened...


It's difficult sometime to explain to people that actually huskies are very kind and loving breed because of their slightly mischievous and fiecre appearance. Many people held prejudices judgment against huskies because they asume that their appearance meant that they are intimidating and creepy. It is the most common perception for people who tends to look at their outlook and indicate whether they are kind or evil. But how could anyone attempt to make silly and stereotype judgment by only speculating them from their outlook. That's complete absurd and foolish. The reason I wanted to point out this aspect is because whenever I take my huskies out for a walk, almost 8 out of 10 rushed away when Haze walk pass.


My first reaction was........"Ok....are you mad? You don't really have to be that scared, it won' bit you!!!" Yah, that's basically my first reaction, caz seriously....huskies are very loyal and sweet-tempered and yes it may get angry sometimes but that is if someone provokes or tries to hurt them. Any dogs, including husky will not literally jump you if you don't offend them...just like human beings. If I swear at you non-stop, tell me, would you slash out at me..............of course you will or better yet, if I beat you up, would you fight back........................of course mate!!!!!!! That's the same theory for dogs, if you approach them with respect, they will embraces every single moment of it.


But I have to say one thing, huskies unlike many other dogs such as Golden Retriever, they are very strong-willed and independent therefore huskies do need lots of firm and consistent obedience trainings. However, huskies are very good with children because of their energetic and adorable personality that welcomes anyone who plays with them. Bear in mind that I'm not saying that you should leave your dogs alone with your children because this is too outrageously danger and irresponsible.


However, I'm truly sorry for one family who losed their baby. I could never understand how they feel and I don't dare pretend I do, because I don't. Unfortunately, the one thing I had to say is that this incident rarely happens to children, and this may just be a one-off accident but it doesn't mean that it will happen everytime. And the fact is any dog are more than capable enough to kill a baby, not only husky. I strongly hope that people can let their prejudices and hatred towards huskies and just let bygone be bygone...because no one expected it to happen.........


Again, I feel sincerely sorry for the family but I hope things will turn better soon.........

My Collection, Check em' out

My love for Haze ain't just lock in my heart but I show them. Yayayayayayayayaya......you may think I'm superficial and materialistic and all.... but this is how I choose to present myself. Others may choose bto buy other expensive brands, such as whaw Dolce&Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, Playboy, Paul Frank etc...

But "I" have my own style, own love, own personality. Y'all probably can guess what I may say next but let me beat you to it, I love a brand called, HuskyX3. It's a local taiwan brand, targeted at Husky lovers (including myself of course!!!)

It all started off from last year when my dad sent me the most unbelievable christmas gift I've ever received from anyone in my entire life, the HuskyX3 collection. Sounds ironic doesn't it, why isn't me who spot this exclusive brand but my dad!!! Well, to tell you the truth..... I have no idea!!! (don't hit me pls =.=") Anyway, I love my dad's present and I think you could imagine how crazy and insane I went when I saw those husky collection huh? I was a complete lunatic, jumping up and down, flaping my hands everywhere and basically went nuts. It was amazing.......





Giao!!! Looking pro y'all ~~

I've never imagine myself in the filming industry. I always thought that filming and production work is very easy and hands on , but I was stunned and overwhelmed by how much we have to learn about camera work and the pre-production requirement that we have to endure before we even go out to film.

I guess now I'm much more respectful to the filming business because I now understand how complicated and cut-throating this business can be, thankz to Julia who taught us so much this sem about the camera work and how to organise a strong and presentable portfolio.

The most amazing thing out of all is that my short video was one of the seven that Julia chose to made, and I was so greatful for that. I hope I could use everything I have so far from the filming to the next level in my future if I ever get to make another short video, perhaps the next sem!

Here are some pictures of one of my group, looking pro Director Rita!!!!! Hehehehehehe





Listenz up!!!



Slap back to reality

Even though my heart still sinks everytime I think about my friend... but now I guess I gotta move on. It's still difficult but I know that sometimes things just cannot go back to the way they were. So I must let bygones be bygones.......and focus on other lively aspects of my life.

And all I can think of is my baby dog, Haze. I miss u so much!!! I'm so thrilled to come back to Hong Kong this sem and see how much you've grown~ Just seeing your newest picture makes me so warm and energetic. I can't wait to kiss u and hug you into my arms………………

Well enough of me talking, why don't I show you some of my newest picture of Haze!!!!!!

Regrets, Forgiveness, Apologize

Everything went lovely and vibrating for me just three weeks ago. But you never know what will happen next...

Have you ever experience a moment where your heart just stop, contracts so badly that you felt like you will faint any moment. Have you ever felt like your body are so stiffen that you just cannot move, helplessly gasping for fresh air.

Your body no longer answers to you. You are so shock and speechless that your body keeps pumping adrenline up to your brain making you feel sick. That's how I felt a week ago, after receiving the most devastating and unbelieveable news from my best friend in Australia.

It all started with a simply misunderstanding! Something that could be hold off if I would just be more considerate and decisive. Not being able to say a probable goodbye to someone I cherish all along is the most heartbreaking thing that I have to live with for the rest of my life. I hated myself of how I handle the situation, making a holy mess. If I could have one more change, I would do anything, and I mean "anything" to make up for my mistakes.

I regret every single moment of that scene, she cried and so did I. All I can feel is my body going numb. Everything seem to fly by in a speed of sound that I can't even get a clutch of any words she had. My brain went completely blank. Though one thing I know, is that she left............

I may seem to be bouncy and peppy on the surface but deep inside me, the guilt and shame still profoundly thickens in my heart. All I can ask for is your forgiveness, and all I can say is, I'm really sorry...I hope one day, we can see each other and until the day we meet again.....

I will always miss you.....

To my dearest friend~ If you ever decide to read this......

Be respectful to other!

Individual human beings have so much to give, but why is it that everybody is constantly trying to compete against one another? But seriously, your biggest competition should be YOURSELF, nobody can make you into a better person but yourself! So quit passing silly judgements onto other people and let your guard down for minute, coz you will find yourself relieved from the inner-tensions and the anxiety that had made you so jumpy and fizzy all the time.

For some of y'll who may have no idea, dogs actually have their own ways of respecting each other's territory, in another word, they are fully aware of the importance of keeping off one another boundaries. Uh huh~ thats right people, dogs actually has that kind of rules too!!! To be honest, it may sound a bit silly and quirky.

To start you off, y'll should have experienced some of the scene where pet owner takes their dog for a walk and the dog start urinating on the sidewalk. Well, thats one, another familiar scene that you may have come across is watching a dog, sniffing non-stop from the ground. Both of this two act, represent the universial sign for dogs to communication with each other, they actually smell one another's urine in order to mark their territory. The stronger the urine smell, the better chances you will have to sustain your territory because if another dog comes and realize after smelling your urine that it is not strong enough, they will actually pee on top of the original urine with their own and therefore the terriorty is now taken over by the new dog. Although it may sounds very gorss but it is the most vital aspect of determining which terriorty they own.

To give you a further understanding of this theory, I will use my husky for illustration. So, if say my baby Haze invited some friends over for a party at "her" house, she expect them to respect her territory because she lives there. And for other puppies to understand which territory they are heading into, they will sniff around Haze's house to smell for her urine. The stronger the smell of the urine, the more respect you will recieve. However, logically speaking, every dog has their own ways of marking their territory, some may actually challenge your position by deliberately urinating in your turf and then gets into a physical or verbal fight to determine who will win the territory.

Well, folks, I hope you now have a better understanding of how dogs communicate to respect each other. And really, the main focus for this post is to remind people that it is important to respect one. Just ask yourself this question, would it be better if there are less conflicts and more happiness?

Reminiscing!

After taking a nice warm shower, I sat in my house and as I close my eye to relax, I start reminiscing about the first day I laid eyes on Haze, my baby husky.

We chinese use to have a saying when we are picking pets, "love at first-sight", you should buy that pet if only you and them have an intimate moment.

Well, I can still recall the joy and happiness when I meet her , I just couldn't get a grip hold of myself but to stare at her in bewilderment. She, was beautiful,, mischievous and fierce . I just can't seem to get my eyes off her, yes, SHE was drop-dead gorgeous! And guest what! I knew from that very moment onward, I'm ripped, seriously!!! I'm totally obesess with her, I knew that she was perfect for me because we have that unbelieveable intimate connection. She came and lick my face, put her fury little head under my legs, barking softly as if asking me to touch her. I was completely overwhelmed by her friendliness, nearly melted me down.

Later that day and almost for the past two weeks, I been moaning and rattling on and on to my dad about the possiblity of buying Haze. But as usual, the problem of me coming to Australia and the commitment and devotion of taking on a pet is the core debate that I have to win my dad over. Of course, through continuous persuasion and sweet-talk, my dad finally approved of me buying Haze. That moment, I felt like I have just won a huge lottery and I just can't stop jumping and shouting until I was particularly dehydrated.

And the next thing I know, I'm holding Haze tight in my arm, as if I'm holding a new-born baby and that is the life beginning story of me and my baby girl, Haze. But until now, that is all I'm gonna share, so pls stay tune for my next update y'll~ Thanks^^
