Vida Emocional: soul-searching..... and updates on vivaldi + Mooba Fest

After posting my view on knowing yourself on monday.. guess what? On tuesday during my first marketing lecture, the lecturer asked us to desribe what/who we think we are. And he just randomly picked some people in the class to tell the rest on how they wish others see themselves as. I was thinking.. OMG!.. is this really happening? i was just thinking about this yesterday.. what a coincidence. And yes after that ... i was one of the chosen ones. So i said that i wish to reach up to others expectation but at the same time, i dont need them to perceive me in their own ways, i just want to me and be who i am. Once i mentioned that, he exclaimed loudly to the class:"yes..precisely...great.. carmen.. Be who u r .. just do your best. You cant be perfect.. doing ur best is the best u can do!" At that particular moment, i was ..like.."hmm..yes i agree with u..and i am glad that i did my own soul-searching and understood myself.. but oh..does it mean that i have the mentality of a 65 year old man??" ...lol...

So anyways.... i just thought it was so coincidental to have the question coming back to me the next day in class. That proves that day-dreaming helps u prepare for class as well..:P

Alright, moving on. A few weeks back I went to Vivaldi The Four Seasons- Four concertos for violins and orchestra at St. Paul’s Cathedral. We got student tix and it was awesome. They were really good! My photos will show you how nice the cathedral is as well. And next day, went to the Brighton Beach with the Msian Caulfield Peeps. Played games, met people, enjoyed the breeze, sun and beach. Oh went with Lai Ee, Priscilla as well. My good gf back in spore during MGS times. I hadn’t seen her for about 5 years and when I came here, I just realized that she is in Monash as well. So fated!.. am really glad to meet her again and still feel like the back old days.

Sam Mun (Sammy), gf from SAM taylors came to Melb for two days as well. Along with other frens, we went to Moomba water festival along yarra river. Sam n I tried the Extreme ride at the fest.. Before we tried when we were looking at the ride, it seemed ultimately daunting. Trust me.. I was feeling scared watching it. My heart was beating so fast just by looking at it. The Sammi was so enthu about it. And ya I thought it was really worth trying. So yes we shrugged our shoulder, plucked up our courage and went for it. Basically, u get swing 360 along the main axis and on the end of the column where u seat, they swing the seats along the axis holding on to the main column. So yes.. it felt like u were getting thrown all the way up to the sky n beyond. It was hell scary. I couldn’t even see half of the things up there. I opened my eyes for like 5 secs a few times and just kept yelling like mad. Eventhough I did it once, if u ask me to play that again, I would think twice just as I did the first time. But of cos, I think I would go AGAIN!.. it was totally worth the experience. I loved it!.. So did Sammi.

Another fascinating thing about Moomba was the fireworks as well. My first fireworks show in Melb. We were just standing next to the river, right beside the firecrackers. I loved the presentation, the choreography and the set-up of the show. It was really beautiful. Cant wait for the next show!!1…

Alright, photos time!..
