seeing that my current task is to come up with a writing project of a minimum OF 2500 words, i might as well relax a little now seeing that i can no longer come up with catchy phrases and avoid OVERLY FAMILIAR PHRASES (this is the main emphasis my lecturer would also point out - please try to avoid overly familiar phrases) - doesn't she realize that phrases become overly familiar because they sound good which is why many MANY writers use them and when a new generation of writers come into this world, they review the work of these many MANY writers, thus adopting their style of writing and WILL OBVIOUSLY use OVERLY FAMILIAR PHRASES.
And this other point about "your writing should be concise," seriously doesn't make sense. You're asking us brain-dead-at-the-end-of-the-day youths to write concisely for a 2500, minimum word limit project?? it's insanE!!!!!!!! I'm long winded by nature, how do i hold that back and cut back what i say or type, in this case, for my project??!?!?! ARGH!!!!
And how can u be the judge of a FRESH PIECE OF WRITING. it's a very biased criteria really. If i wrote about my life back home and the things which she hasn't even heard about, then will that be considered fresh? or just long winded and boring with overly familiar phrases of "back home..."
Showing evidence of being influenced by ideas that have been discussed in the whole subject so far is fairly easy seeing that I'm going to or MIGHT follow some structures of free verse poem found in my reader..
The stress which comes from writing is really hazardous to one's health. Please do not try this at home on a leisurely basis, you WILL, i repeat, YOU WILL kill your leisure-stress-free period.
Anyways, enough ranting about assignments, will be getting back to that SOON ENOUGH so let me just rant about my day here for the rest of this post. there's no stress involved because i'm letting it ALLLLLL OUUUUUTTTTT!!!
I just finished one Heong Peah :D YC gave Chris and I one each - she bought it from Chan Brothers - a chinese grocer which is very very far even from the bus stand. I will rarely go there....
No classes but my mind was playing with the several ideas i had for this writing project n studying for Aus cinema (exam on thurs) is a CHORE.!!!! especially when there's so much information on each film. i feel like i'm reading a film review rather than theories and facts.. @@
oh well...
MY main concern is the assignment (look above) and my journal... T_T
I thought writing journals was going to be fun!! it isn't especially when you've got criteria to hold you back and make sure you write with those specific points. ugh.....
Dinner today was a simple sandwich of scrambled eggys with mushroom and cheese..
n hey! i'm still hungry... Tummy piling on the layers.. so unhealthy.. but i can't help it...
YC said when she went back to kl two weeks ago, she felt so hot (as we're more accustomed to the weather here already - windy and cold even when there is sun) and had less cravings.. hmm..
I wonder why....
can't wait for this sem to be over... i wanna be taken on tour in Victoria Park.
Regi lives there. n i will be staying over at her house for a night on Monday (june 2) while she brings me around her area and go get ITALIAN WOOD STOVE PIZZA. SWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!
then when i get back to SV, i continue my studying for narrative open book test (YEA!) on friday June 6.
Ugh... the weather for the past two days have been so chilly that i wear socks into the kitchen.. i don't want to wear my slipper socks - the floor has gooey substances and god knows what else on it.. YUCK!
i guess i better go wash up and maybe munch a little bit more to keep me awake. Might go see my lecturer tomorrow to seek her advice on the lil piece of writing i'm working on at the moment.
GAMBARRE!
