Undergradute Courses

Yesterday we had a career's day where they shoved us into a hall blind folded with no real instructions and figuring out we were supposed to talk to the people at the stands. It turned out that they were uni representatives or other random people like woolworths. I talked to a few people there, but I still think we should have given us more time. They pretty much told us how to get there and back. Nothing about what was supposed to happen. Pretty much like a production line. Well, I'm close to deciding what to do instead or after my gap year.

I really want to try out for Design computing in Sydney uni. I don't know what other courses I should try out for as well. But if all else fails, I'm trying out for BillyBlue then JMC and CATC. I don't want to mention the last one cause it's so bad I don't know if I should try. Well, I want to scan in the pamphlets I got, but I doubt my sister will ever make it work, and the only other scanner is a roll through (similar to faxing), not a flat bed. U can't really roll a book through that.

Dream Job

Wow I found a Webdesign "firm" in sydney! Maybe I can send in an application to work there next year. I am so excited now, I should have done my MDP as a website.

William Website Development Sydney

They're looking for Graphic Webdesigners. The only problem is that the way they advertise it isn't very inviting - they used dolalr signs, and it sounds like they're in inclosed skyrisers, but North Sydney is a great place! Much more quieter than the city.

Preferred skills:

• Photoshop, Illustrator --> Illustrator I'm not familiar with, I better install it and start practicing!
• CSS --> All good there!
• Flash --> I don't like flash. I guess I must learn properly.
• Ability to work fast and to deadline --> heh heh. I enjoy having a comfortable and healthy environment thank you

Experience: At least 2 years experience in Web design. --> Hands Down!

An online portfolio or attached creative examples are compulsory to be considered for this position. --> I think I need more than just my personal site.

To be eligible to apply for this position you must have an appropriate Australian or New Zealand work visa.


This will give me a great opportunity to learn new things! Maybe along side university, I can also learn asp.net, javascript, ajax.net, xml/xslt, seo and flash. And *cough* their site has too much flash *cough* Enter it if you will, but for an Australian resitent who has minimal internet capability, you can try caching it from google search.

Yoghurt Chocolate Idea!

Ok, this entire thing is under the assumption that no one else has invented it yet. I'm afraid of googling it because then they can use my google search and sell it to big companies. Am I paranoid or what! And if anybody doesn't know what yoghurt is, it's also known as yogurt...

Alright, my idea is anything associated with solid yoghurt and other healthy alternatives you can have instead of chocolate. Yoghurt is one of my experiments for now. Imagine Yoghurt easter eggs, yoghurt bars, you can even have fruit, nuts, fruits and nuts in it!

Because yoghurt is white, it would look similar to white chocolate, but better for you. Here's a picture of white chocolate:

Drool* I feel like making some yoghurt right now! So this is an example of a mould!

Oh it's going to be so yummy. Hmm... need to find out how to make it and find out someone to help me market it. Yummy yummy yummy!!!

How to Make

Oh no! It isn't healthy at all --> ehow.com Ingredients:

• 250 grams pkg cream cheese
• 5 cups of icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanillia
• 1/4 cup plain yoghurt

Instruments:

• double boiler
• tongs or dipping fork
• waxed paper or cookie racks

Method:

1. Soften cream cheese and place it in the top pot of the double boiler and add the icing sugar and yogurt. Put just enough water in the bottom of the double boiler that it won't touch the underside of the top pot, and bring the water to a gentle boil.
   
   
2. Put the top pot in place and stir gently and continuously until the cream cheese mixture is melted and well blended. Stir in the vanilla. Turn the heat off, but leave the double boiler on the burner so the water remains hot but not boiling.
   
   
3. With tongs or a dipping fork, pick up one piece at a time of the dried fruit, nuts or candy that you want to coat, and dip them in the melted mixture. Place them on wax-paper lined cookie sheets, or on wire cookie cooling racks. --> this step is replaced by line chocolate moulds/pour in chocolate moulds.
   
   
4. Once the yogurt coated pieces are cool and dry, store them between layers of waxed paper in covered tupperware-type containers. --> I might want to take them out of the moulds. Just a thought.
   
   

* From Step 2 on, you must work quickly and don't let the melted mixture get too hot or it will thicken and burn before you can get the pieces coated.

I shall follow this warning... it's very good of them to.

Another Version: Yogurt Coating From Barry Farm Foods

For the general idea of it's nutritional value, I found a processed industrial version. [picture]

Ingredients:

Sugar, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, yogurt powder (cultured whey protein in concentrate, cultured skim milk and yogurt culture), non fat dry milk solids, reduced mineral, whey powder, artificial colors, soya lecithin (an emulsifier), natural flavor, salt, artificial flavour. -- I don't understand.

Yoghurt Drops

I finally searched up "yogurt drops" in google and found out it's actually animal food *cries*. I like them too!

Following a fluke

My favourite sport in the world would have to be long jump. The sprint for your life running into the final jump into the air, throwing all you can across a strip of sand with the shear hope you land forward, but all is forgotten as the exilleration flies through you.

This I love to do, not that I was any good at it, similar to high jump. I'm around one and a half meters tall, which is around the average height of a full grown year 8 at the end of the year, and I have no chance in sport what so ever since I've destroyed my bones already, but I still feel like I want to try for, or at least train for competetive field events like this. My life so far, which may seem young still, has always been a failure but I have always held of two things that I achieved myself - with slightly exagerated memories of how I felt. To understand this, you need to know I came from a migrant chinese background where I am the first generation in Australia. Hence tuition in maths and maybe english is so much more important than playing soccer, hockey or basketball with other children after school. Thus, all my acedemic achievements were only possible if I had someone holding my hand. But when I did long jump and high jump in year 6, I proved to myself that I was better than just a monkey with a pencil (soon to be monkey with a cigarette and a typing machine). I've kept those third ribbons ever since.

I am so un-co now-a-days. I swear I could have cleared the height of 1 m when I was in year 6, but the irony, all those years I kept trying and never making the top 4, I did without even making the bar. Yes, today I made it into the zone, but only on default. I wish our school would let us train, teach us how to compete in field events again, it would prevent so much injuries that do happen, and no one in the older grade remember how they are performed. I guess out school thought it wasn't important for seniors to participate. I should have taken the hint.

Sometimes I feel like taking the gap year and focusing on myself physically. Get a physio, and learn a sport. And maybe I can have another chance at long jump and high jump. Have a propper trainner and learn the right techniques. Maybe meet new people and learn how to manage a healthier lifestyle other than sedentary.

I am still glad, I finally made it to Zone. I wish I can perform better and see more, but this would be my stop, since I can't make it over 1 meter. For long jump, I will never be able to enjoy ever again in my life unless I try to pursue it during my gap year. My school years are slowly ending with the last swimming carnival, the last athletic carnival, and the last cross country.
