"Pretty is in the eye of the beholder.
Beauty is deep within the soul."
-Nip/Tuck Season 2 Episode 11

Hello everyone.
I sincerely hope, that since we last met, the holidays have greeted you to something special.
:)

Ventrilo has been landing pads of many new channels, including the all-infamous, all-fun SINGSTARS channel :)
It is was a public channel (until recently), but anyone is welcome to join-- just tlk to one of the kids that are in the Soul-Ignition channel, and we'll guide you there! :D The more the merrier is the main game in the channel. Hope we're all enjoying time in that channel.

Today, I was out in the city to visit the NSW Art Gallery. It was 5 levels of Australian artwork, as well as foreign artworks, on display. I would say most of the exhibition was much inspiring. Go visit if you have the time. just 5-10 minutes walk from Hyde Park (Y)

Also watched ATONEMENT today. The film was based on Ian Mc Ewan's novel, by the same name. Beautifully crafted film by Joe Wright. It was so picturesque, the cinematography was great. Every frame was a piece of artwork. The storyline (especially the ending) was a tad predictable, but matched up to the tone of the film. 4.5/5 stars. Watch it if you liked A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT.

I lost my digicam ): this means that I cant effectively do my 'photo of the day' thing. It is very sad. Me and the cam have separated. I have been with it for 3 years now. It's been nice. :')
This means I can invest in another one! YAY! Let's go camera shopping! :D
Me and Ext 2 have also separated. We're better off without each other.
I'm gonna miss going to Truong every Monday afternoon.

I've spent most of my holidays working and watching hours and hours of Nip/Tuck. (NIGEL DANG! Return my Season 1. I miss it loads.)

When I was waiting for the bus home today, I overheard some pretty asian girls talking. They were just laughing and conversing like we all do, but it wasn't until one of them mentioned 'cambos' that I started to pay interest. She said some of the following:
"Ew! Don't call her a Cambo, that's offensive..."
"I'd rather be a Latino than a Cambo..."
"Most Cambo chicks are ugly. Well, some are hot, but thats like 5% of them! HAHAHA"
And after the whole thing, she said (in a quieter voice) "Geez, I hope no Cambos are around."

I felt angry and repulsed after she said all that. I was thinking of saying something to her, but i don't know, I don't know (fkn) why I didn't pluck up the courage to say something to her.
In my mind, I was already cursing at her "fucking shallow racist bitch, who the hell do you think you are! "
Maybe because we knew each other (by association).
Maybe because she had 3 guys and 2 girls with her.
Maybe because I thought I better catch the bus that just came.
I dont know. I just feel stupid for not saying stuff back to her. I hate the feeling of impotence. >=(
OPPORTUNITY WASTED; !@#$%^

Well. It has taught me something. Say something before it too late.
And, relating to the quote from the top. After the pretty girls who said all that, I see them as ugly now (and this is a understatement.)
Again, I'm afraid I learnt the hard way.

Now kids, wanna tell me about your holidays?
:D
