<br />
I just got caught up in the whirlwind of studying and music. I barely have a social life so I struggled to find the time to sit down and blog. I really should've though.<br />
<br />
Since then, I've just been gigging and gigging and gigging.. so I've taken a break, well kind of. I told myself I would but I have a charity gig next Friday.<br />
<br />
I got onto the Vice Chancellor's List for last semester and also got a First in Class Award, the ceremony is next week. And I'm already back into a new semester, and these subjects are heavy loaded this semester. I'm also doing an online subject with an American university.<br />
<br />
In my holidays, I spent it doing an Asia tour to Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was such a great but tiring experience. I met a whole bunch of amazing people. I just made the mistake of not giving myself a few days break and went straight back into uni so I think my mind is just exploding now.<br />
<br />
I've met a boy, he's sweet and beautiful. Makes me happy but I really gotta sort my head space out. <br />
So much things to do as well.<br />
<br />
What a shit update. I'm so sorry.

I've been dealing with a lot of dramas lately. Dramas that I don't really need to deal with and its frustrating. People who are illogical and irrational annoy the fuck out of me. People who are weak minded and attention seeking annoy me even more. I won't rant about it but let's just say the road trip went down with 3 people and came back with 2.<br />

I had a good 21st despite the dramas. The company I needed was there, and I was blessed with people that usually aren't in Sydney to be there coincidentally. I enjoyed a bit of gambling, got a tattoo, devoured seafood (I am allergic but I allow it on birthdays), had fine dining for dinner, went out to Marquee and had a bloody good night.<br />

I'm back at university now too. This semester is going to be tough. They're not the most interesting of business subjects and I'm doing 4 with the music thing rather than 3 last semester.<br />

I've wrapped up my tour now too so this year I'm going to head back into the studios to record some new material and concentrate on getting some more local gigs. Though, managing myself is so tiring with school that I dunno how much I'll be able to get.<br />

I am loving my new car and although I really didn't want to let go of the old one - the long distance driving I do everyday makes it impossible for the old one to survive haha.<br />

OH I also had my very first radio interview and performance! It was very very scary! My single, 'Wanderlust' was honoured with #16 on their Top 50 of 2012 charts! AND TO MY VERY SURPRISE MY ALBUM LONE WOLF WAS TITLED Australian Album of the Year!! Haha I could not believe it!<br />

It would have never happened without all my supporters, being independent is so difficult but I am so happy and lucky to have the encouragement from varying media platforms.<br />

Wow I've been so busy and exhausted I haven't had the time to sit down and write everything.<br />
I feel pathetic because my memory is so bad I'll forget so much that I haven't documented haha.<br />

I had a great Christmas. I've never really celebrated Christmas the traditional way, so mum decided to even buy two Christmas trees... I asked her why she got two and she said its for all the times we've missed out on it haha.<br />

I cooked up a storm! I had turkey, stuffing, haloumi salad, roast ham, kale chips, mashed potato and two cakes!<br />

On the 28th of December I had a gig up at the sunshine coast. I had two lovely ladies, Maddison and Nayomi come up from Melbourne to stay with me for the gig so we went and did some tourist things like Australia Zoo. Maroochydore had a great vibe for a small town and we all had a lot of fun playing there.<br />

New Year's.. I wanted to spend by myself and do some reflecting and what not but my friends would not allow it. I admit, I just couldn't accept that Bailey wasn't going to be in my new year. I also felt bad if I spent it with anyone else, I don't know why. Last year we were in New York, with our own apartment and spent the count down on our fire stairs. This year I just got completely smashed at Surfers Paradise with a broken heart BAAAAHAHAHAHA.<br />

We woke up super early and left for our road trip. You see, I wanted to spend my 21st in the countryside - I didn't want to make a fuss about a birthday that I don't want and I knew if I stayed in Brisbane it would happen. So Michael, Carson and I decided to do a road trip down to Melbourne, then take our time going up the coast line. We took the wrong way down so it was about 25 hours of driving, and we stopped off at Wollongong for a bit to spend time with Carson's family.<br />

In Melbourne I had two gigs lined up - one in Mornington Peninsula and the other in South Gippsland (Inverloch) - both in the beautiful regional Victoria. I was really excited for those gigs. We decided to make the most of having to drive to those locations.<br />

We went to Mornington in the morning and spent the day at the beach. It was super hot and the air was so dry. After the beach we had a gorgeous lunch and realised that we ate at the place I was going to be performing later on haha. We headed to the hot springs afterwards until I had to go for my sound check. The hot springs were AWESOME.<br />

The Bay Hotel gig was fun... and hilarious... and humiliating. I was in mid-song, striking out my emotional face, when Maddison started laughing and I completely lost it. I could see Maddison mouthing "I don't know what to do!"<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577900_515508138470412_256458680_n.jpg" /><br />

I was starting to trip out too. I felt myself slanting more and more, having to reach over to the mic with my guitar further and further. I thought I was just tripping. I looked down and saw that my chair was sinking into the stage crack and I had to make a decision: Stopping a song is less embarrassing than falling on stage.<br />

Haha as soon as I stopped I cracked up laughing, stood up, heaved the chair up from the crack, had a few more giggles, made jokes and accidentally swore twice on stage, moved away from the crack and had to continue on. I just couldn't take myself seriously in that sad song afterwards but. My head was totally elsewhere haha. Good experience though!<br />

The next day we spent at the gym, I did kickboxing for way too long to the point that I had blood blisters on my toes, a swollen bruised ankle and blisters. Haha. I have way too much endurance that I never feel myself push my body.<br />

On Friday night we hit the town. We were meant to have an early night but we didn't. AJ came out with us as well and she gave me a belated Christmas present - a handmade friendship bracelet with all my symbols weaved into it! It is so cool! We left about 2am, and Carson, Mike, Chris and I went to 24 hour Kmart to get some fishing gear and licenses, Coles to stock up on food then headed straight to Port Franklin. Yeah we were totally crazy.<br />

They let me sleep because I needed it for the gig but they barely had any all day. We fished all morning and caught a decent crab so we cooked up some sausages and the crab. I caught a fish without doing anything, and a whole bunch of seaweed... and Carson caught a puffer fish. Mike also caught a small tailer but otherwise it wasn't a good day out for the fishies. I made good friends with the cutest puppy as well! Reminded me of Honey in America.<br />

We headed to Venus Bay where we went pipi catching. We caught so many! Spent a solid 2 hours digging them out. We got completely sunburnt.<br />

So now I looked like a roasted pig for my gig at Inverloch. It was such a lovely gig, totally different to what I've done before so it was a great experience to put into my pocket. I had to deal with different factors I haven't encountered before, such as... CHILDREN IN YOUR FACE haha. I had a whole bunch of lovely locals buy my album and I was touched. No one likes buying albums these days so I'm lucky to even sell one at a gig so that was nice. I also had a great response and people would clap at me as I walked by... People believe in me, I just need to start believing in myself.<br />

Chris Murphy, who hooked me up with the gig, good friend of mine, well I met his family last night at the gig and his brother looked completely like Bailey, style and everything. It just threw me off. I couldn't stop staring and I couldn't be sociable with him. Whenever he talked to me, I walked backwards and wouldn't respond. I can't believe how silly I am over Bailey. Totally niggled under my skin, that one. <br />

But its been good for my music. I just gotta think positively.<br />
We drove back to Melbourne and then cooked up a beautiful pipi feast.<br />

Today we're having a whole bunch of mates over for a BBQ. Should be good but I just feel so down I cannot be bothered being sociable.<br />

Oh my university marks came out, I did good. Happy new year everyone. I'm sorry I've been so slack, and I write much more blunt because I barely have time these days but I'm glad for everyone who's stuck around and joined this journey with me. Bring on 2013!Bambihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07187337142134197741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068610312549460745.post-23081393746940489292012-12-22T16:57:00.005-08:002012-12-22T16:57:58.155-08:00X & Y Bar<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/524888_511605288860697_1363257966_n.jpg" /> <br />
This week has been quite busy. Actually this whole month has been quite busy.<br />
On Monday I had my MRI scan, I wasn't worried about it until I got there and they told me I HAD TO GET A CONTRAST INJECTED INTO ME. I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO NEEDLES INVOLVED. Okay so I freaked.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/61853_511605542194005_719400699_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

I'm not scared of needles... just it going through my inner arm is what bothered me... and they wouldn't let me take it any other way.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/383697_511606065527286_1347419592_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

Anyway the machine was actually quite scary too. It was real noisy and loud and shook me about while my head was locked up into this cage thing. Lol a claustrophobic would have nightmares in there.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/398689_511606368860589_1770912425_n.jpg" /><br />

I've just been fishing a lot in my spare time as well. It keeps me relaxed during these stressful times. I also caught a massive 40cm bream. Bigger than any of the bream the boys have caught! I was so happy. I was catching everything inedible and small up until that breadwinner.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/428868_511606422193917_108440499_n.jpg" /><br />
I had rehearsals too for my big day on Wednesday. It was my music video launch at X&Y Bar in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. We had SOOOOO many frustrations and technical difficulties that day but in the end it was a great turn out, a great night and probably my most favourite gig as of yet. I had a lot of fun. Even all the workers and sound guy bought my album. I can't wait to record again, I had such a positive response from my new songs (I played 3 new ones that night) that I can't wait to get back into the studio so I can share it properly with everyone. I love my band too. They are more than I could've asked for!<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/262750_511606892193870_881426872_n.jpg" /><br />
I also had another gig on Friday night as well. It was hot and sweaty and I played to about 10 people haha. But you still gotta give it your all no matter how different the crowd and vibe is... because I sold 2 albums at that gig and that was unexpected because of such a small crowd. <br />
<img src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/46375_511607005527192_263714276_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
November/December has been so busy and tiring for me but my tour is nearly over. One show left now. But... then I have one like 5 days later and then a few more after that.. so it doesn't really feel like I get a break like I planned for January haha.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/305377_511607128860513_751820480_n.jpg" /><br />
However, I do have a road trip planned for January 1st until I have to go back to school. My uni friends are I are trekking down to Melbourne and then up through Sydney and then back to the Gold Coast. They thought I was crazy that I wanted to go to the countryside on my own for my 21st. I still wanna do that.. lol.<br />

Keeping busy has kept my heart off my mind. <br />

And he's off again.<br />

I came down to Melbourne for one day, slightly excited by the fact that we had made afternoon/dinner plans after my gig.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/382145_502816666406226_1831893363_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

I didn't hear from him for one week. He didn't answer his calls or reply to my messages. I felt totally devastated at my gig that I was on the verge of crying, but that just meant I threw out an emotional performance and the audience response was good. I just thought maybe he'd swing by, that he was ignoring me to surprise me. All just wishful thinking.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/320597_502816716406221_564098228_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

Instead of what I thought were my premeditated Melbourne plans, I went to a lovely gig with fellow artists I played with, Maddison and Nay to go support some other independent bands. I drank Sailor Jerry rum and coke and tried to numb how sad I felt.<br />
<img height="400" src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/18100_503051596382733_2142766080_n.jpg" /><br />

Oh well, it was too good to be true. I just wish he <br />
1) had the respect to tell me he needed space or changed his mind about seeing me or whatever it was<br />
2) left me alone if this is what he was going to put me through again<br />
3) I don't have a number 3 but I wonder what happened in his head or what evil scheme he was up to<br />

All I can do is tell myself that this pain is great for my music, and it really has been! The afternoon gig brought on some new fans and a Foxtel TV host said he'd slip me into his newsletter and pass my album onto his radio friend.<br />
Too much flying for my guitar... <br />
<img src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/385027_506484549372771_1688323298_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

Then I flew back up to Brisbane where the flight got delayed in the air for 3 hours. I went fishing with the boys from school to get my mind off things and we caught a stingray, shark and two breams. The rest of the week was spent studying hard for our last exam.<br />

I think we all did pretty well in our exams due to cramming. Glad to have my first semester over!<br />
Straight after my exams I drove home, packed my bags, went to the shops to grab 7 Time Off Magazines with my interview in it, grabbed dinner for mum and I then came home.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577865_10152321689855646_1611859577_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

My friend came over to buy two tshirts, I ate my dinner, read my article then headed to the airport.<br />

So busy busy! I will get to relax once the 21st is over!<br />
The plane got delayed by 2 hours and then an additional extra hour was spent on the plane. So all up I spent 3 hours wasting time haha. I couldn't even sleep because there was the tallest lankiest boy next to me and I felt bad that he had such little space for his spider body, so I let him creep into my personal bubble a little.<br />

Oh wow I've been so busy that I've neglected this for nearly a month.<br />
A lot has been happening I guess, its that crazy time with all of my university assessments and music tour going on at the same time so I've just been in way over my head.<br />

All of my university assessments are finished, I just have two exams left that I gotta study for.<br />
I've also done 3 gigs from my tour so far. I went down to Melbourne and performed 5 times over 3 days. It was really tiring. Now I'm super sick and got the worst cold and my very first performance in my hometown, Brisbane is tomorrow. I hope I'll be okay.<br />

Bailey has also come back into my life now a little bit. I texted him while I was in Melbourne and he surprisingly messaged back. I was certain that he didn't want to hear from me ever again. Unfortunately he was in Tasmania so we couldn't meet up but we did continue messaging. I don't know what I'm doing really, because we won't ever work out with the current situation. So we're really just putting up our hearts to get toyed. I'll see him in Melbourne on my next gig (where I only fly down for one day) and figure it out then.<br />

I've had to find a brand new car.. my beautiful green bean is in its dying days unfortunately. So far its done about 330k so its a solid effort for a 1998 car haha. I put in a deposit for a car yesterday and I love it to bits, but just sad to be moving on from my corolla.<br />

Time Off Magazine interviewed me for their December issue so that's really cool. It took me ages to conjure up some answers. Interviews are a tough one when you have to sit down and write it knowing its going to get printed for people to read.<br />

I've also been working on trying to shave a semester off my uni degree by transferring my University of Melbourne engineering subjects as electives and then overloading for 2 semesters. I just wanna be done with school. I'm enjoying it but yeah, would be nice to finish quicker seeing as I spent 2 years working, traveling or recording. <br />

My cousin, aunty and uncle from my dad's side are interested in coming to see me play tomorrow, which is really nice... but I haven't seen them since I was probably like 13. I'm happy and flattered but also a little disappointed that it has taken this much with my music for them to care and make an effort. That's just me being begrudging to the Lynch family though. I am happy that they might be coming, that's all that matters.<br />

<br />
If you don't want to get hurt, don't read my blog.<br />
I'm an honest person and this is my vent space. Most of y'all would be told that I write a blog anyway, and its not like I'm not honest in real life - just reading it re-iterated is what plucks your dear heart strings.<br />
<br />
I have a very bad memory and this is why I write it down. I go back to my blog and remind myself. I tend to forget what I did the month before, a week before.. sometimes even a night before. Then I get completely confused whether or not it was a dream or if I'm lying to myself. Its actually very frustrating.<br />
<br />
I have a neurologist appointment in a week. I really don't want to go but they are making me.<br />
Oh! I got tests done the other day. I am so super proud of myself because I was totally going to skip out on it.<br />
<br />
I had an ECG done. I've never had one of those before. The chick was just like. TAKE YOUR TOP OFF. TAKE YOUR BRA OFF. And I'm thinking, but my dear dear precious nipples will be exposed! I made her get me a blanket. I felt so awkward, mainly because the doctors is like around the corner from my house so what if I'm just casually strolling by and they're like HEY NIPS, HOW YOU DOING?<br />
<br />
I then had a Chest X-Ray done! That was nothing fancy except for a huge waiting line.<br />
<br />
Blood test was the crazy part. I have a terrible blood phobia. I also can't hack people touching my inner elbow, or drawing blood out from there would most definitely make me faint. So I asked the lady if I can get it from the top of my hand and she was so sweet. She was so sweet throughout the whole procedure. Definitely a first. Normally they bitch about how I should just grow up.<br />
<br />
I try to tell myself its just red liquid but I can't help it. My legs go jelly and then my head goes queasy. I think I'm traumatised from that one time a lady couldn't find my vein and had to jab me 5 times in one arm than 2 times in the right one before calling on the senior nurse who couldn't find my veins either so attached me to a machine to forcefully pump it out. Yuck yuck yuck.<br />
<br />
Okay no more blood test talk. I did it and am very proud! 3 days later.. it still makes me queasy when I think about it, and I try not to think about it but once I tell myself not to think about it my mind thinks about it. Hahahahahhahahahaha.<br />
<br />
I'm getting some crazy stress from the music business and school. So many assignments, so many things to do!<br />
<br />
Okay rant over.Bambihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07187337142134197741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068610312549460745.post-48191321818734783732012-11-03T00:21:00.001-07:002012-11-03T17:37:51.716-07:00DeadlinesI've been so terribly stressed the last few weeks. The pimple constellation on my forehead can be a reflection of the stress I have been enduring.<br />

Firstly, I've had mid semester exams and assignments. But its mainly this whole music business that has sent my mind in uproar. Here is what I'm learning quickly about the music business and all things related to it.<br />

- People are unreliable<br />
- People are disrespectful<br />
- People are unprofessional<br />
- People do not respect deadlines<br />
- People are hard to get a hold of<br />
- People are a pain in the ass to organise<br />

I wanted to get my tour confirmed and released by next week, so then I can send my press release out to community radios and local media publishers but I can't because I have to wait on other people. Its just driving me MENTAL! But its all good fun. I just hope I can get it out soon before the end of the month, when my little tour kicks off. I need enough time for promoting you know?<br />

As for my music video, I don't know what to do about that because it wasn't completed by deadline and I had to decline a venue due to exams. I might just have to release it next year. I know I'm meant to not say anything and keep it all together but I am independent so I have no big management to report to and this blog is about the real shit in my life, so here's my honesty.<br />

I am also running out of money. I am the biggest stinge now. And with the whole music thing and university, I don't have much time to work unless I go find myself a manager. We'll figure out, Deen Deen. I'm just venting, I do have a lot of fun and happiness with the busyness it hands to me. And I'm a natural stress pot and organised freak so I'm sure I'm just getting my knickers in two knots, rather than it only needing one.<br />

I went to a 21st last night. I haven't seen Brittany since high school and when she saw me, she cried. I was really touched. I didn't expect her to cry at all, and I just felt so cruel that I left high school and I just didn't contact anyone except Desh for 3 years.<br />

I brought Taylor along as my date because he's a good looking bloke and I didn't want to be a third wheel to Desh and Isti. Taylor is a great guy and will make a great catch for any lady looking to tick all criteria but my heart is just hung up on Bailey. I probably would've been all over that shit before I met Bailey but now I think that 'perfect dude' is a little boring for me.<br />

I'm not saying Taylor is boring. I haven't seen the guy in 8 years since primary school so I don't really know him. Desh put a great example that... Bailey is like The Notebook and Taylor is like The Lucky One. Hahahaa.<br />

I miss Bailey. I had a little sulk the other day but that'll come from time to time. At least my mum is back to keep me company.<br />

Oh I haven't gotten trashed in years, and Desh made me last night. She said I'm boring for always driving so for once to just have fun. So we knocked over a bottle of wine before heading out then I drank tequila sunrises all night. We hit up Caxton St and then the Valley. I must've been that drunk that disgusting Irish blokes decided to hit on me, even though there were dudes with me. Ah well. Isti (Desh's man) pretended to be my boyfriend and told them to leave.<br />

It's okay though. I'm keeping my mind busy with school and music and that is keeping me happy. I do know that it is a part of life but I'm still allowed to hurt. Anyway, I'm using it to stimulate writing songs! Haha! So, it's a great use towards my music endeavours.<br />

I've started to become super pro-active with my music (or try to be). There's only so much a newbie independent knows on what to do. I've scored a couple of gigs that I will post soon once all the details are confirmed. You know, scoring gigs is one thing but practise is another. My last performance was 2 months ago and because I'm so inexperienced, I knew I had to go get my blood boiling.<br />

So last night I went to an Open Mic near my university to get some practise in. I WAS SO SUPER SCARED. I was shaking and I stuffed up a multitude of times. I came off that stage thinking I did terrible but surprisingly I got a good response from the crowd. I guess I did okay then, but I know I can do better so I'll go to Open Mics weekly until I feel more comfortable haha. I'm determined to polish up my skills.<br />

University is keeping me busy too, its already past mid-semester. I'm enjoying it. I've gotta work hard to sustain a scholarship otherwise my family would never be able to afford sending me. At least business is much more relaxed than engineering. Although I was surprised at the workload. I might not have to spend as much time at university compared to Engineering but there is a lot of off-time too. Probably because I'm doing my degree accelerated to chop off a year.<br />

I'm still home alone in this big house. My grandma fainted last weekend and had to be rushed off to hospital for internal bleeding. I hope she's okay. My mum is staying back another week, she can't stay more than a month because she stupidly entered her home country with the Australian passport. I scolded her saying, "IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME YOU WOULD USE YOUR TAIWAN PASSPORT.... DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE IN TAIWAN?"<br />
Haha she is so silly but. Means I'd have to clean the house next week but. Thoroughly. My long hair is everywhere and she'll freak. Plus I've set up camp in the dining room and that's a total pet peeve of hers.<br />

I've been hanging out with my primary school friend. I haven't seen him in 8 years but he's also going through a heartbreak so we've been doing girly things like watch movies and eat ice cream out of buckets together. It is funny.<br />

Sigh, I miss the boy but I'm not hurting so much anymore. I've accepted that he is a learning curve for me and I should grow from this experience and let him find someone he deserves. Doesn't mean I'm gonna let the next person in with full force but! Do not worry. I am the anti-relationship man. My mum has drummed that into me well.<br />

Sorry that I only really blog once a week now. School doesn't make for interesting conversation.Bambihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07187337142134197741noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068610312549460745.post-21491979565655903222012-10-13T15:37:00.002-07:002012-10-13T15:37:19.352-07:00RejectWell I went down to Melbourne with Mikey to try and get my closure like a crazy girl.<br />
<br />
I saw him and he told me in the first two minutes that it was over. And that was it!<br />
I'm terribly hurt and I think its done my head in because for once, it was all my fault.<br />
<br />
I've spent the last three days in Melbourne just sleeping on the cold, hard floor at my friend's place. My friends have been great but I just don't want to see anyone. I know I sound like a sulk. This is my blog and I rant here because I don't like ranting in real life.<br />
<br />
I'm going to miss him. I can't believe I was so ignorant. He got too close for my comfort and that scared me shitless which in turn made me do dumb things. <br />
<br />
I'm just trying not to think about it but its difficult. My friends say that I'll learn from this to jump into opportunities but I'm not sure that that's what I'll learn from this. I'm going to be even more careful of being hurt. I'll try to keep busy with university, gym and music. I want my mum to come home so I'm not so alone in the big strange house.<br />
<br />
I had coffee with a Melbourne artist yesterday and we talked about music and business. We're planning to do a few shows together so hopefully that comes together nicely. Melbourne air/food has made me sick already and last night I was vomiting, had diarrhoea haha and the worst stomach cramps all night. I fly back to Brisbane tonight, can't wait.<br />
<br />
Can't wait for when the hurt subsides too. Bambihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07187337142134197741noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068610312549460745.post-22896244557718671312012-10-03T17:47:00.000-07:002012-10-03T17:47:20.319-07:00Tween<br />
I don't know what to do.<br />
I don't think I've been weighed down like this for a long time. I've been so used to finally feeling happiness that I forgot what it was like on the other end when I've felt it all throughout growing up. Funny how just a short ride on happiness makes someone weak again. I used to be strong.<br />
<br />
I've called, I've even sent a postcard but nothing is enough for him to stop ignoring me. He needs to tell me whether its completely done with or not. The silence is just making me stay in a terrible middle state where I can't move on.<br />
<br />
See, my huge mistake was - I liked him a lot so I was scared of the whole thing. I'm ruined for relationships. So I always kept him at an arm's distance and he was patient enough for a long time to work through that but I guess I used up all patience he had for me. I totally understand, I was a bitch that took advantage of him for my own benefits. I deserve all of this.<br />
<br />
One of my close friend's mum told him, 'I love Deena as your friend but make sure it always remains that way. She's not one for relationships, she's always going to be looking for something else. Something must've happened to her when she was younger.'<br />
<br />
I have no idea how she deduced that but my friend was like don't hold anything against my mum! And I was thinking.. I'm not because it's so true. I don't know how to trust. So although I think I'm totally protecting myself, I'm a loner.<br />
<br />
I've been trying to keep busy. I go to the gym every weekday, I'm trying to be proactive with my music again now that I've settled in. I keep my mind away from negativity during the day but it creeps up at night. I'm home alone now too so I don't have my loud bantering mother to distract me, and Simba is depressed because mum isn't here so we just loll around in sadness together. HAHA this is so sad. Then I have nightmares and wake up at ridiculous times. OH MY GOD, I always pay people out for being like this and now here I am, a perfect example of a teenager - no wait, worse.. a tween. Bucket of ice-cream anyone?<br />

I've been so busy during my weekdays that I'm a pathetic updater. Nothing exciting goes on during my school days anyway. I signed up to a gym this week because it was piss cheap at 300 bucks for 12 months.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/198440_10152134882620646_1883302827_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
I also, surprisingly, have a lot of work to do even after it only being Week 3. Its the non-business core subjects that eat up my time. But some of them are interesting anyway.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/76877_10152137381340646_1562516074_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
I caught up with one of my close friends back in high school. He was up from Sydney. He's a seaman now so time spent with him is a little rare. We had a good catch up but, he's one of the very few people I trust and so we had many laughs about what we've been up to over the years.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/377287_10152137381655646_1981037422_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
I also went to some creative arts event with my best friend Deshna and her boyfriend. There I met a great band called Pink Fur & the Black Coats, and we got talking about music. They invited us out to another gig of theirs up at West End a few days later... and seeing as we all got sucked into how good they were, we actually went after Riverfire. This week was fun full of many different events.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/548799_10152137382000646_2067592354_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
Mum and I also took Michael to Mt Tamborine. It wasn't too exciting but the glow worms were cool. I went over 10 years ago and all I saw was a few dots glowing, but since they've been rehabilitating their colony... the cave was FULL of dots like stars in the sky. They said they started with 300 and now have about 4000. That's pretty good!<br />

Bailey and I haven't talked for a week. I'll be honest and say I'm super sad about it but I've been trying not to think about it. It somehow feels much more painful, maybe because I know this time might be serious. I just miss my best friend.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/403223_10152129644215646_848503825_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
On another note, I booked flights for my mum to go to Taiwan in 3 days. My grandma fell and something poked through her chest so she's super weak. My grandpa is a little useless so my mum is going back to care for her. I hope she's okay. She'll be away for 3 weeks so it'll just be me and Simba in this big cold house.<br />

Btw, I got Instagram.. so a lot of these photos are cheating but hahaha you can find me at <b>@deenamusic</b> on there!! I don't even have a smartphone, I'm using my mum's. LOL<br />

I spent the weekend in the countryside.<br />I've missed my state, my state is beautiful. If I didn't move about on my weekends here, I'm sure I would be missing Melbourne already. <br />

I spent the weekend in Kenilworth where I was blessed with local cheese and yoghurt! The moo moo cows were also adorable. I took walks on the Graeme & Julie's property and ran into 2 rabbits, a green snake that I thought was a hose until we both flipped out, and 2 wallabies.<br />

The view was breathtaking on the hilltop. Saturday morning I went to Eumundi markets, one of the biggest in Queensland and browsed about. Of course, I wasn't interested in too much except the food. I did however buy a kangaroo fur, koala shape postcard… I think it's adorable so I'll be sending that over to my pen pal in America. <br />

We then headed to Noosa. It was busy, but we scored a lucky park. The weather was drop dead gorgeous. The sea was a temperature of 21 degrees and that was perfect to cool down my heated body! The waves were very wafty, I wanted some more hardcore, hurling ones. <br />

We had some decently priced, delicious lunch. Ice cream afterwards then headed back to Kenilworth for a couple of movies by the fireplace. The countryside is gorgeous. I would love to retire, ideally, in the countryside by the beachfront. Yeah I've seen that before! <br />

In the mornings, the birds would dominate the sounds in the skies and in the evenings, the bugs and frogs reverberated from their little lake hub. The stars were bright, the air was cool, the cows would moo… it was perfect!<br />

I even walked down to the river and I saw 3 turtles baking in the sun. They soon freaked out when I came too close and they all just PLOPPED into the water. Then a Kookaburra flew past to laugh at me.<br />

Rainbow Beach is one of my favourite places in the world.<br />
So I thought it would suit as my gift to Michael for his birthday. Michael, Peter and I left early on Saturday morning to make the trek towards Rainbow Beach. Its about a 3 hour drive from Brisbane. I did the whole drive because after driving up from Melbourne, it felt like nothing.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/285562_10152107675470646_2042518541_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<img src="http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/263825_10152107675720646_1316485844_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
Rainbow Beach is named after its beautiful coloured sands that cake the beaches and cliffs. From black, red, orange, yellow, white, beige, green.. it has it all. It is so beautiful. We went up to Carlo Sand Blow which is a 15 hectare area of sand dunes. Each step you took looked like a McFlurry as the colours swirled together. I was so happy.<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/253482_10152107675915646_692230399_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

Unfortunately we couldn't go paragliding due to the high wind conditions. Even sunbathing on the beach was unpleasant as sand entered every cavity every moment haha. After cave hunting and sand climbing, we retreated and went to the lifesaver area to cop less wind. It still ended up being pretty windy and the sand was annoying so we left. We had lunch.<br />

Afterwards, we headed to Tin Can Bay which had nothing. I totally don't remember it having nothing. It is a fisherman's haven and it'd be a great place if you owned a boat or even a dinghy. The current in the inlet was just beautiful and calm for even the pettiest of boats.<br />

We booked a trailer so that was a fun bogan experience for Michael. Welcome to Queensland, Mikey! We started our drink on and then headed to a cafe for dinner. Holy moly, we so did not expect this restaurant (out of 2 in the whole town) to be so good! The oysters were so fresh, the scallops were delicious sprinkled with flavours similar to potato gratin and my main dish lamb rump with mint yoghurt and salad with feta was gorgeous! We were amazed at how much value we got out of our dollars. If we paid the same amount in Brisbane, we would so not walk out with as much content in our bellies.<br />

The next day we woke up early to catch the wild dolphins coming into the marina to say hello and get a morning feed. It was very cool to see wild dolphins as they are not the picturesque smooth perfection that we are usually used to. These dolphins had war scars from other dolphins and even huge shark bites. They were scratched up and rugged.<br />

After breakfast, it was time to head back down to Brisbane. I drove to Ginger Factory for our stop over where we relished in fresh ginger beer and I bought honey from Superbee Honeyworld for my mum and I to indulge back at home (we love the iron bark flavour).<br />
<img src="http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/314211_10152107683275646_1125022230_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />

Our next stop was at Underwater World in Mooloolaba. It was much more busier than Cooloola Shire (Fraser Island, Rainbow Beach, Tin Can Bay). They were renovating so we were kind of disappointed. Though it was very cool to see otters trained to do little party tricks for the audience. I didn't even think you could train them! They're so cute!<br />

Afterwards, we thought why not enjoy the less windy conditions! We went for a swim at the beach and the two boys decided to perve on the many pretty girls that lingered about. Haha! We had lunch and headed on home. It was a great weekend, I was very happy to visit my favourite childhood places.<br />

Its been a busy week... Mike's cousins came up from Melbourne so we took them around to Surfers Paradise, Wet'n'Wild on one day, Dreamworld on the other...<br />
<br />
Then helping Mike go apartment hunting, and then settling into one. Then getting ready for school....<br />
<br />
I had my first day at university today. I have a very lame 5 hour break during the day so I went to the gym. CLASSES WERE POINTLESS TODAY.<br />
Lecturers know oh so well how to talk gibberish in circles.. and reiterate common sense bull crap too... so I was very bored very quickly.<br />
<br />
Also forgot how girls love fake tan in Queensland. I cannot stand the orange hands and the leprosy-like spread on the skin when its wearing off... UGH. I also don't really enjoy hair extensions that are obvious and ratty.. JUST SAYING.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm on provisional learning this semester and am only allowed 3 subjects instead of the usual 4 subject load. I even requested an interview to reconsider this..<br />
<div class="fbChatMessage fsm direction_ltr" data-jsid="message">
This is how the program advisor phrased it;</div>
<div class="fbChatMessage fsm direction_ltr" data-jsid="message">
"Even
though you're physically well now, we never know if you will get sick again
throughout the semester and so its for the university's benefit and
good."</div>
All I kept thinking was, "Wow they did not assess me individually and all they want is money and reputation," AND "they really didn't phrase that well."<br /><div class="fbChatMessage fsm direction_ltr" data-jsid="message">
</div>
<div class="fbChatMessage fsm direction_ltr" data-jsid="message">
You can't judge what I can handle intellectually by what I've unfortunately suffered physically. Oh well, I'll just go get HD's and smoosh it into their faces. It did make me very upset and I cried for the first time in a long while. I just never thought about it when I was suffering through the sickness that I'd get slowed down at school for it. Unfair. I am over it but I just wanted to write it down.</div>

On another note, the reason why I wrote a blog is because I've got memory that is slowly getting worse and worse. Some of my friends actually want me to go see a doctor for it. Hahaha I just think its funny how little I remember of memories. </div>
<br />
I'm very tired today. 1 hour driving to commute each way is a little drainer. I put up photos from my last gig in Melbourne at Mr Wow's Emporium today.. here ya go!<br />

I've been so busy in my last week in Melbourne. I did some filming on Monday for an MV, it'll be a while before I can show that off but I can show you the Behind the Scenes photos!<br />
<img src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/574691_465895420098351_2067493037_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
I've just been catching up with friends and blah blah.<br />
I'm so confused with what I want. I am excited for university though - ready to just go get my degree.<br />

Mike and I drove up from Melbourne > Brisbane 18 hours straight inland. If you go through Sydney it takes way longer. I ended up doing an 8 hour straight shift, I was on such a roll hahaha I still can't believe I did that without any Redbull or coffee. Then I rested.. I think it was the headache that kept me awake and powered on my driving safely. But I couldn't hack it anymore so I slept for 2 hours. I couldn't do another huge shift again, I barely survived the last 2 hours before we got to Brisbane because the sun was so bright in my eyes.<br />

We saw over 100 dead kangaroos. We saw many wallabies, kangaroos and foxes about to cross the road. We even had a very close call with a Golden Retriever lost on the road. I hope that poor thing is okay, I was so sad to see it lost from home but it was too dangerous for me to get out and help the little bugger because truckies were coming in at anytime and it was pitch dark. I saw a truck flip over too in Victoria!<br />

We finally got to Brisbane at 8am. Had Maccas then crashed out. I've been so tired, the next day which was yesterday.. we went to orientation day at university to enrol, admit our documents, sign up to classes and get our Student ID. Afterwards, we went apartment hunting for Mike.<br />

It was the cutest smallest bar/cafe. I also got to hear some other amazing artists and picked up a trick or two from watching them. This old guy had a beautiful vintage Hohner that I was frothing over.<br />
<br />
It was the first set that I've ever played all on my own.<br />
I've been having gastro for the last 3 weeks so it does not feel good. I think its nearly over.<br />
One week left in Melbourne.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from last night, and some more from last week's show.<br />

Last night was my very first Australian show, in Melbourne. Everything went so well, all that stressing, fretting and organising paid off. I am so glad I did it. My nerves subsided as soon as I sang my third song and instead adrenaline kicked in. Sometimes I was completely in the zone with my songs.<br />

I've been learning a lot too. What you hear when you're practising at home, is totally different when PA systems, microphones and amplication etc. is involved. Sometimes I couldn't hear my guitar at all, sometimes my guitar would buzz out like crazy, or I couldn't hear my voice well either but you have to make do because out there, in the audience, they are hearing completely different things.<br />

I had a great turn out! Over 70+ crammed into the puny bar space and I was so happy. I did end up finding another support act and Christina & Chris did great too! I totally enjoyed performing, its a thrill and an indescribable feeling. I wanna do more, I wanna share my music more.<br />

I mean, I barely made any money from it but I don't care. Thanks to King, I found my passion. The night was so beautiful. Thanks to Baraki Bar, Frizz & Nino for being my band on such short notice, Christina & Chris for being my support, Michael for being the greatest driver EVERYWHERE I needed and sacrificing his sleep for me, my little sales team and everyone for coming to support me.<br />

I saw more people I was unfamiliar with than friends so I was very touched. Also a little disheartened that some friends didn't come but ah well. It was a great Thursday night.<br />

I think my songs were much more appreciated live and unplugged. I just can't believe I did all this.<br />

Its like as soon as I've accepted everything, moved on with everything and then finally dwell that life is great! The big monster throws something else in my face and goes, "HA! TRY THAT!"<br />
<br />
My supporting act pulled out because she got sick. And I totally get why, Melbourne winter is a bitch to fight with. I'm trying so hard to not get sick too. BUT WHERE DO I FIND ANOTHER ONE?<br />
<br />
I had my first rehearsal with the boys yesterday. I appreciate their help so much, I can really feel that they're trying very hard to learn all this very quickly. I can't imagine what I'd do without them coming on board at such a late notice.<br />
<br />
Now I just gotta shop for another Melbourne artist.<br />
Oh this show is derailing in all sorts of ways, definitely a learning curve for an amateur artist like me!<br />

Sang in front of friends for the first time and although it was scary, I think it went well. When people cry, I guess its a pretty decent indication :) I was very nervous about singing the song I wrote for King.<br />
<br />
I was also blessed to have the accompaniment of talented musicians, Cheong, Josh & Ethan.<br />
It was a beautiful day. We released balloons tied with roses. And the wind was perfect that day.<br />
It could've carried them into the buildings beside us, but it went forward, up and away into the skyline.<br />
<br />
I feel better about the show this week. No matter what, I'll sing my heart out.<br />
I'm sure there will be more photos but here's some to enjoy,<br />

You seek problems because you need their gifts."</i><br />
<i>- Richard Bach</i><br />
<br />
I've been super stressed.<br />
I have no band for my very first show in Australia. Hiccups have arose and I can do without the emotional blackmail so I have to solo it up.<br />
<br />
But I'm so scared. Solo is so boring for a whole set, isn't it? I have no other choice. The show has to go in, I can't chicken shit out of it. And this night calls on for so many other opportunities later on.<br />
<br />
If I don't find - argh, I'll talk about it later. It makes me sad that the very first time I perform in front of real life people, people that are in my life... I'm going to make a fucking fool out of myself. I wanted to be excellent, y'know?<br />
<br />
Here's something to bring out a laugh on everyone's lips.<br />
My mum really wanted to do the whole ye ol' Victorian times dress up. Someone stole the CD with all the images but they gave us a canvas print so I can only take a photo of it.. but its so funny. I dressed up as a dude to break up the femininity. Pimping!<br />

I also put all my European stickers on my guitar case. Now, I need to go get stickers from all the other places I've been to where I didn't think of purchasing stickers.. like Asia.<br />

But never mind, problems make us stronger! It's just I want to have a good performance so I would rather sacrifice becoming stronger for a great show.<br />
<br />
I'll figure it out, its the only way. Might have to be an unplugged acoustic session.<br />
<br />
Last night was interesting! I was out with my friend's family for his birthday and we were the last ones at the restaurant still eating. Then his aunty who I've known for 5 years, asks me, "Deena, are you a singer?!"<br />
<br />
I quickly said, "No!"<br />
Then the aunty said, "But the waitress said that you are..."<br />
We all turn around to the waitress where we hear her say, "I've seen you sing, onlineee!"<br />
<br />
The blood quickly drained out of my face as I rebutted questions thrown at me! Hahaha it was so funny! My friend was laughing his ass off and feeding the fire by saying, "YEAH SHE'S GOT AN ALBUM! AND A SHOW NEXT WEEK!"<br />
<br />
Oh man I copped questions all night. Even my friend's mum reminded me, "Don't expect a career out of this okay!! Keep it as a hobby!" Hahahahahhaha!<br />
<br />
The restaurant gave me beautiful lillies. Later, I walked up to the girl and said hello. She blurted out that she's known me for a while, through some photos then onto my blog then onto my music. She said she also wanted to say something when I walked in but she didn't want to embarrass herself. I was very flattered!<br />
<br />
When I came home that night, I saw that she had bought my album! :)<br />
The hardcopy can be bought hereeee btw <a href="http://www.deena.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">http://deena.bigcartel.com</a><br />
<br />
Anyway, shout out to Louise the waitress - for embarrassing me completely!! Hahahaha<br />

<br />
I, however, will not take it down as I established this blog to detail the events in my life, whether it be in an inconspicuous way or whatever, so that one day when I am old and wrinkly.. I can read through it and fill in the blanks. I suffer from goldfish short term memory loss. Haha!<br />

Anyway, the other day I was so blessed to rekindle my best friendship with Deshna. I missed her very much. Though we are two different people so her idea of fun was dragging me along to a sex shop for my very first time. I was so very hesitant. I was scared shitless of going in there. But she coaxed me into it and I was so overwhelmed. There is so much rank shit in there. Also let me note that it is extremely overpriced, can you imagine how cheap it is out of the China factory? If the dollar shop decided to stock sex equipment in their stores, some of those stuff you could easily get for a few bucks. Rubbish.<br />

Anyway, she forced me to peel my eyes open to all things, and touch everything that's available. The sales assistant was super comfortable and could tell I was extremely intimidated so she was trying to sell me some small objects that were apparently cute for beginners.<br />
<br />
We then walked through the DVD section and holy crappola, people are into some screwed up material. Like PREGNANT? TRANNY? GRANNY? Ugh!<br />
These Asian men came in and started staring at me, I almost could envision them licking their lips at me with carnal desire. YUCK. I said to Desh, I've had enough! Let's go!<br />
Her enjoyment was totally from my squeamish anguish.<br />

<br />
We then walked around the corner and settled at an Egyptian cafe. We ordered tea and apple flavoured shisha and chatted the night away. Oh I forgot to say we had Japanese for dinner too.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I had rehearsals at King's house for his tribute on Sunday. I really don't want to play anymore... I kept looking at his artworks that are hung around the house and remembering him working on them years back. Sometimes I'd watch him work while sitting in his room. Sigh.<br />
<br />
I went to the grave afterwards and eventually people coincidentally came by too.. Until it became a gathering. After a couple of hours, I was done.<br />
<br />
A lot of things happened for me yesterday and I can't really express it but that's what caused the volcano eruption yesterday. It doesn't matter, I have a new outlook to live up to and I feel great about it.<br />

Today is also the anniversary death of King, my close friend. I miss him.<br />
<br />
I also have allowed my heart to drag along the road, gravel rash all over for way too long. Its time to mean what I say about changing my way of life, seriously.<br />
<br />
So its your turn, fucktard.

She invites the neighbours' dogs to come play with our lonely Simba. Today she left me to run her errands. I practised my gig to my 3 golden audience - they barked at me, now that could either mean two things: applause or boo.<br />
<br />
Anyway I wanted to share an excerpt from a book I read. For perspectives.<br />
<i>"THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP -</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Well, the way you relate with people will be exactly the way you relate with a dog. A dog is a dog. It doesn't matter what you do, it's going to be a dog. You are not going to change a dog for a cat or a dog for a horse; it is what it is. </i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Just accepting this fact in your relations with other humans is very important. You cannot change other people. You love them the way they are or you don't. You accept them the way they are or you don't. To try to change them to fit what you want them to be is like trying to change a dog for a cat, or a cat for a horse. That is a fact. They are what they are; you are what you are. You dance or you don't dance. You need to be completely honest with yourself - to say what you want, and see if you are willing to dance or not. You must understand this point, because it is very important. When you truly understand, you are likely to see what is true about others, and not just what you want to see.</i><br />

<i>If you own a dog or a cat, think about how you relate to your pet. Let's consider your relationship with a dog, for example. The animal knows how to have a perfect relationship with you. When your dog does something wrong, what do you do with your dog? A dog doesn't care what you do; it just loves you. It doesn't have any expectations. Isn't that wonderful? But what about your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your husband or your wife? The have so many expectations, and they are changing all the time.</i><br />

<i>The dog is responsible for its half of the relationship with you. One half of the relationship is completely normal - the dog's half. When you come home, it barks at you, it wags his tail, it pants because it is so happy to see you. It does its part very well, and you know it is the perfect dog. Your part is almost perfect also. You handle your responsibility; you feed your dog; you take care of your dog; you play with your dog. You love your dog unconditionally; you will do almost anything for your dog. You do your part perfectly, and your dog does its part perfectly.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />

<i>Most people can easily imagine this kind of relationship with their dog, but why not with a woman or with a man? ...The dog doesn't try to make you be a good human, a good master. Then why can't we allow a woman to be a woman or a man to be a man and love that human just the way he or she is without trying to change that person?"</i><br />
<br />
Thanks to Simba, Monty & Chupa for reminding me of that excerpt's lesson! Aren't they so cute and cheeky?<br />
