Describe your dream house (even if it's not a house).

Hm, I really haven't thought about this. I do, however, have some sort of idea. I love apartments. Obviously, I have always lived in one. This dream home of mine would of course be an apartment. An apartment close to everything, that is, close to the city and beach. And of course, close to nature. The ideal apartment should include: four bedrooms, a staircase, two medium scaled balconies, build-in wardrobes, large lounge, theatre room, stainless kitchen and a picturesque view. =)

Nonetheless, this ideal apartment surely be accompanied with someone special =P

Awkward Moment.
Awkward Day.

But.....
I'm loving the feel of it!

Early Morning

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:44:27 GMT

Ever witnessed a fight occur right in front of your eyes?

I have plenty, of times in my high school days.

Today I relived one of those moments, a fight broke out on a crowded train on the way to the city. It didn't seem to occur to them, peak hour? anyone else could get hurt?

Unfortunately for me - while everyone else backed away from punches between the males, back and forth. I was too distracted in my own world reading one of the Readings for Foundations in Media Studies.

For most people on the train were shocked and surprised in what they were witnessing, as for me I was still standing in the same spot. Whilst one man got off at Redfern station and the other at Central station.

Honestly, not understanding what was happening at the time but I think the two males were fighting over a young female.

Could my morning get anymore interesting?

A Sigh Of Relief

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:53:34 GMT

FINALLY! I'm at home, just spent the weekend at my eldest brother's, Mostafa place. My Valentine's Day was spent with the family. It was cute. I've captured a few photo's of my nephew's without them even noticing. *laughs* (which I hope to have published later on in the week). And I had a good Valetine's - speaking to a certain someone *grins*

I'm glad I've completed my Library Exercise for Foundations in Media Studies (FMS) and completed the reading for this week.

I've also written a previous entry from earlier before, it's set on private which hasn't been completed yet. The entry shall explain everything that happened to me on Friday evening *sigh*

I'm off to have a nice hot shower.

Loving That We All Want

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:02:45 GMT

You want to know what happiness is?
It's waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets & feeling the heat of the person next to you. Looking around & seeing them in their most peaceful, innocent & vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lays on anyone's shoulder but their own. You smile & kiss their face in the most gentle manner so as not to wake them. You turn back around & iinvoluntarily a grin forms on your own face. You feel an arm wrap around your waist & you know it doesn't get any better than this.

The Week That Was

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:49:13 GMT

*exhales slowly*

Ola =)

You must be thinking, "Where has this girl been for the past five days?"

I'm here. Still alive. Just been busy. I've been spoilt rotten. Not so rotten to change me o.O
I have gotten use to the fact that college has finished for the year. Though, I do miss a few people.
I've been receiving plenty of graduation presents from relatives and enormous amounts of support from friends.
Yesterday I attended my first aid training course which I have been studying my butt off, for the past week.
It paid off =) I passed YAY!! Saturday was a complete blur. :x Why? I managed to have an hour worth of sleep.
My stupid cousin (whom I dearly love, like my brother) has been doping me up on caffeine this whole week. I'm surprise I managed to keep myself awake throughout the first six hours of the one day course.
I was the youngest out of six people that were there. WHAT THE?

The first aider who was responsible in teaching us was really surprised in me, because I passed on the first attempt :D I did manage to have a descent conversation with him. He asking me all these questions about why I was doing this first aid course? And what have I been studying for the past year. When I told him I have a Diploma in Journalism he was amazed. He said, "My daughter is a Journalist and she is writing a book at the moment." While the conversation continued to flow he really shook me up in what he told me about his daughter. Apparently she was working as a Journalist after she completed her studies for the past four years, suddenly she lost her job. It was the decision of the company in job cuts. Now his daughter has been jobless for the past two months.

At the same time it really didn't seem to surprise me becasue I remember a few of our lecturers at college well telling us, "Journalism is a highly competitive job." That I agree with. But last night this is how I was feeling....

Question Existing - "My passion is becoming a faded interest. I'm trying not to give up hope. But it's the rejection you fall back on. Does this mean younger people like me, who want to pursue a career in Journalism have no career as a Journalist?"

I guess I was feeling like this because there was a job add. Which I applied for. I received a reply in less than 10 minutes. The manager was really interested in me. And surprised in how much I completed this year alone. They were looking for a Journalist who can articulate two languages, English and Arabic. Obviously something I can do. I can understand Arabic really well and speak it but can't read and write it. Also in the job add the company would offer to train the journalist. Clearly my assumption was I'm great for this role. However, that's what they turned me down on because I don't know how to read and write in Arabic. Then it would have been great if they stated that in the add.

I have no fear of rejection. Its the annoyance of applying for jobs and having no possibility with other people. Maybe its the understanding that there will always be someone in this world and life better than you at something. I know I'm talented at something. I want to use them. But often question where should I begin? Where will that path lead me? Then I go back to only being 18 and still don't know what I want with life. I do know what I want from life. I want a career. A career that interests me and know I will wake up every morning acknowledging the fact that I have made the right decision. I know many people my age who are getting married or are married - all ready going to have a kid. What the hell? Every individual makes he or she own decision.

Sounds as though I'm confused at the moment.

We will experience a time in our life when we are confused about our future. I may not know what will happen to me tomorrow. I do know what I want to do. I'm still going to keep holding my head up high. No matter how tough the situation is. I'm a strong person. I've struggled with a few things when I was young and still kept myself going. I may have a few responsibilities at the moment. But there will come a time, like this - when I am still unsure if I want to fulfill that possibility.

News Update In Brief

UN Climate Summit Urges Action

United Nations climate talks have opened in Poland with pleas for urgent action to fight global warming despite the world economic slow day, and a warning that inaction could mean water shortages for half the world by 2050.

The talks in the western Polish city of Pozan are the half-way point in a two-year push to agree to a climate pact at the end of 2009 to succeed the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012.

Yvo de Boer, head of the UN framework convention on climate change, said the world had to step up work to reach a deal by next year.

"The clock is ticking, work now has to move into a higher gear," he said.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister who will host the 2009 meeting in Copenhagen, said: "The financial crisis should not prevent the commitment to other urgent issues like climate change."

But the big question is WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A WATER SHORTAGE?

He said the number of people living in river valleys with water stress could rise from more than 1.1 billion in 1995 to more than 4.3 billion in 2050, or "almost the majority of humanity".

Pachauri also warned that more and more species of animals and plants were at risk of extinction.

The talks in Poland, which will run to December 12, include 10,600 delegates from 186 nations.

Donald Tusk, Poland's prime minister, said: "Our work on the natural environment should be timeless... irrespective of the economic situation.

"We must understand, and let this idea be a landmark of this conference, that financial crises have happened in the past and will happen in the future."

The US 'ambitious' Goals to Fight Climate Change

The United States president-elect, Barack Obama, won praise at the opening ceremony of the talks for setting 'ambitious' goals of fighting climate change.

Obama plans to to cut US emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020.

The emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels in factories, power plants and cars, are about 14 per cent above 1990 levels.

Rajendra Pachuri, head of the UN intergovernmental panel on climate change, said that many people had still not woken up to the risks of what could be "irreversible change" if the world failed to act.

Joern Utzon Dead. (In Brief)

The Danish architect of the iconic Sydney Opera House, John Utzon, has died aged 90.

Associated Press has reported that Utzon succumbed to a heart attack, while asleep at home Denmark on Saturday.

He was surrounded by family and has been ill for some time, his son Kim Utzon confirmed.

Joern Utzon, who created the first designs for Sydney's Opera House in 1957, has never returned to Australia after leaving Sydney in 1966, nearly seven years before his internationally acclaimed building was found.

Utzon received a prestigous Pritzker prize for architecture in 2003 with the jury singling out the Opera House as one of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century, arguing it "proves that the marvellous and seemingly impossible in architecture can be achieved".

A member of the pantheon of the 20th century's architectural greats, Utzon was haunted - but insisted he was not embittered - by the disastrous end of his relationship with Sydney and what has become the city's iconic harbourside symbol. He left the project after a battle over design and cost led to the appointment of Government architects to take over the project and finish its interiors with no bearing to his original designs.

And despite its enormous beauty and almost mythical shape, the Opera House remains mired in argument about poor acoustics and lack of space in its most important theatres.

Utzon, who declined invitations to return to Australia but who collaborated from afar on the most recent plans to alleviate space and acoustics problems, has suffered long term eye problems which left him near to blindness.

He has always denied being embittered by the end of his association with his most famous building.

Only two weeks ago it was reported the $700-million Sydney Opera House refurbishment, which is meant to improve acoustics and capacity, created a schism within the Utzon family.

The son and grandson of the Opera House architect, Jan and Jeppe, had clashed over the renovation plans, which Jeppe said risks "messing up" his grandfather's designs.

"It's getting messed up [by other architects]," Jeppe Utzon told architectural webzine Building Design. "It will be hard to distinguish who did what - it's a patchwork of ideas... It is dangerous for [my father and grandfather], not so much for their reputations but for the purity [of the architecture]. It's strange they said yes to it."

He has always denied being embittered by the end of his association with his most famous building.

Only two weeks ago it was reported the $700-million Sydney Opera House refurbishment, which is meant to improve acoustics and capacity, created a schism within the Utzon family.

The son and grandson of the Opera House architect, Jan and Jeppe, had clashed over the renovation plans, which Jeppe said risks "messing up" his grandfather's designs.

But according to Building Design Jan said his son was not well informed enough to comment.

"He is not involved in our projects for the Opera House and cannot possibly have any idea of how we work or what our aims are or even what we are doing," he said. "He has chosen not to be involved with the Opera House but wants to pursue his own career, which is perfectly understandable for a young and relatively inexperienced architect.

Born in Copenhagen in 1918, Utzon graduated from the capital's academy of arts in 1942, working in several major Danish architectural offices and later with Alvar Aalto in Finland. He established his own practrice in Copenhagen in 1950.

Utzon's earliest buildings were private homes. His winning the design competition for the Opera House in 1956 was a surprise to many, including colleagues.

Utzon also designed the national assembly building in Kuwait City which was built between 1971 and 1983 and resembles a series of caravan of large tents, evoking the traditional meeting places of the Bedouin nomads.

Utzon lived in Mallorca, off Spain's eastern coast, with his wife Lis Utzon, for many years and his children, Kim and Jan, worked in partnership on several projects including a church that opened in 1976 in Bagsvaerd, a Copenhagen suburb and more recently consulting on the Opera House refurbishments.a Utzon was awarded the Order of Australia in 1985 and the Sonning prize for contributing to European culture in 1988.

He is survived by his wife and their three children, Kim, Jan and Lin, and several grandchildren.

Business: World Markets Hit By Fresh Blows (In Brief)

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:15:03 GMT

Fears of deepening economic trouble in the US has sent the global stock markets diving again.

Most Asian markets were sharply lower after signs of US economy weakens, including growing fears of deflation, sent shares on Wall Street plunging overnight.

The US labor department said its Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell by one per cent in October, the biggest drop since the department began releasing data in February 1947 and worse than analysts' expectations.

The record plunge followed little change in prices in September and August an was led by plummeting oil prices from their record highs in July.

However, food prices have continued to climb, up 0.3 per cent in October following a gain in of 0.6 per cent in September, pushing the annual rate of 6.1 per cent.

In more bad economic news on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve, the US Central Bank, offered a bleak outlook for the US Economy for 2009, highlighting the potential for recession over the next year.

The latest forecast left a range of possibilities, suggesting the economy could grow as much as 1.1 per cent or contract by 0.2 per cent next year.

Deflation Fears Continue To Grow...

While lower prices may benefit US consumers, anaylsts warn they can hurt corporate profits.

In addition, lower prices also raise the threat of deflation, a prolonged about of falling prices that has not been experienced in the US since the Great Depression in the 1930s.

The hurt corporate profits will be leaders of the Big Three car markers, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.

US Democrats have been pushing for funding from the bailout to be granted to the auto industry, but so far Republicans in congress and the White House officials have resisted the calls.

*Deflation is a reduction of the general level of prices sustained over several months, usually accompanied by declining employment and output.

To Good To Be True

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:26:23 GMT

Honestly a BA in under a year. I'll be stupid if I don't do it. Maybe I'm starting to have a postive outlook. Another year of study. Can I handle it? The answer is yes. Because I know that I'm self-motivated and I know I'm always up for a challenge. When times are tough I know that I have the support of friends and family. I know that I will be there for my friends no matter what. Even when times are tough, I'll be there.

Omg!

Still can't believe it that only for a year to do a BA. It means I will have a diploma and BA at the age of 19. WTF!!! I know I'm making a big deal about it.

Before I head off, this song is addictive and just makes me want to dance in the middle of the main computer room. Though I'm not going to embarrass myself with the excitement. Lolz.... Just I hope I did good in Shorthand.

True Passion

An Extract From,
Wendy's World
(Written By: Wendy Kay - copied from Professional Practice notes given out in class)

... "But it's my endless curiosity that drives my passion for this profession. It's finding out the most ordinary people have the most extraordinary stories to tell. It's learning little about a lot which helps keep you savvy about life."

~~..."It's discovering the grass is not greener, nor is it always worse, on the other side."~~

~~..."Tell me you want to tell stories."~~

..."But real storytellers begin in print."

... "So next time someone asks you why you want to be a journalist, think carefully. If it's about glamour, become a presenter or go into public relations."

... "But if it's about telling stories and learning a little about a lot of life, go stick your noise in."

One Year On

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:24:32 GMT

If I can recall from memory Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has been in power for a year now. Amazing isn't it? Well considering a change of leadership is great. What the Australian public wanted. I look at Kevin Rudd and just believe he has accomplished so far in just a year, though he may be dealing with a lot of crap from the public for instance, travelling overseas so many times in under a year and the pressures of the finanical crisis. But I believe that Kevin Rudd has really made an impression on me when he said, "Sorry," apologising in the month of February.

Counting Down The Days

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:17:22 GMT

Good evening to my readers :)

Monday. What can I say? Monday's aren't that bad, are they? Monday isn't one of my favourite days to start off the week with, most probably, that's because I have college to put up with a whole year. I don't know whether its a positive or negative outlook for me to deal with another year of uni. But hey I'm not going to be thinking that far ahead. I finish college in under two weeks time. At the moment I'm under pressure with upcoming exams. If I don't pass then no Diploma. That's the policy with this college. Unless you've done amazingly well throughout the year, then you don't have anything to worry about. So I think! I am definitely worried about Shorthand. Shorthand is definitely a challenging subject I have come across. But more interesting than Maths. Although I did like Algebra. Maybe because I was good at it. :P

College was simply a dale day. Computers wasn't all that bad. I'm just over everything. Especially the Video Journalism assessment, honestly, a note to Shannon I don't care about your class, nor have I ever enjoyed it - except maybe the only time I actually enjoyed it was last weeks, final lesson when the class watched a documentary. A name which I cannot remember. *sighs*

Also dislike the fact that I have been breathless for the past three days, ever since I came across with the flu. My voice sounds different and it sux because I enjoy singing in my room. Now I'm stuck in my room with awkward silence. Which doesn't have to remain like this. And I have to get a move on - have to study my butt off. Although I have a break in between Radio Journalism and Shorthand since there is no more classes for Video Journalism no more *wohoo - starts dancing*

I don't see myself pursuing a career in Video Journalism. I hated carrying my Shorthand book at the beginning of the year, let alone do I want to look like an idiot carrying a large package of vj equippment. The only large luggage I like to see myself carrying is an overseas adventure any where around the world. I love Australia, Sydney. So much. But I want a change. I want a sense of creation. A change.

I've been thinking about different occupations I would like to pursue. Ever since I was a young girl my love and passion has always been weather. My fascination for weather is an obsession. I love writing. But when it comes to weather, any kind or form. I'm your person to turn too. I've watched so many documentaries. Its not funny.

Occupations you may see me get into one day *cross fingers* which I hope to aim for some time in my life. Meteorologist. Tornado Chaser. Flight Attendant. Foreign Correspondant working for Al-Jazeera *sighs* and I know this dream will never happen but I would love to record an album. I've all ready started writing my own lyrics. They are pretty good. I think. *looks the other direction*

Well I'm all out. Nothing more for me to say, but not the last you'll hear from me.

Ciao.

Quick & Simple

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:46:20 GMT

Last updated was two days ago...

*smiles*

Keeping this short and sweet.

Bottled up emotions continue to flow in and out. I'm keeping myself going, day by day. I keep a smile. Often I am silent and the words don't seem to come out. Because I listen to what's occurring around me. I'm happy. Still missing my family in Lebanon, seriously! But I'm so happy every possible chance I talk to them. Despite the fact its not the same. Its the sound of each relatives voice that keeps me going on with each day. Whoever it may be from the family. And god bless the modern technology we rely upon today. What will we do without it? Nothing is really bothering me at the moment, nonetheless it often occurs to me how gutless people can be. Ironically people seem to be so positive to bitch behind your back and not thinking twice that your standing across the other side of the room in awkward silence, can actually hear the whole conversation. Yet if you are so confident to speak about me behind my back, then stay it to my face. Proves to me - people like that who are entering the field of journalism are making a fool of themselves. Yea I admit I bitch - every female does it. But at the end of the day, I'm a person who will say it to your face and not behind your back. The truth is the truth. It may hurt you, but its better finding out from the person than from somebody else.

Step By Step

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:45:20 GMT

There comes a time where you just feel so empty and hollow. Especially if your a person who keeps so many things to yourself. I keep a brave face. I put on smile. But slowly and slowly the outside doesn't seem to handle the hurting from the inside. But I carry myself for every step of the way, for some reason the weekend was so great until I woke up to Sunday evening that continues to remain in my head. I don't know I should believe or not believe in what I hear. I need the answer, once and for all. I'll continue to wait... but how long would that last for?

Laugh, Smile & Love Life

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:13:03 GMT

Ola :)

Well the day has come to a close - despite being 7:00p.m.

Thankfully I'm at home, safe and well.

The train ride was tiring because it was an all stations so it took me twice as long to get home. By the time I got to my stop I had no source of energy to walk up the stairs. It was either walking an extra further metre to get a lift or walk up the stairs. Seeing how I hate lifts. I prefer to take the stairs, no matter how tired I am. The lifts at Macleay are enough for me during the week.

I really liked the shoes that I was wearing today, brand new and comfortable for a first try *smiles*

Yesterday wasn't my day after Video Journalism, today was much better and I knew I had no doubt about anything. Except the anxious moments I shall await to know my Sub-Editing results. Nonetheless, my day yesterday wasn't so bad after all when I spoke to my aunty for an hour and a half. She made me laugh, literally my eyes were watery - looked as though I had been crying. *sighs*

I wonder what Public Relations would be like tomorrow? Um... urh? I'm off.... ....

The Great Disappointment

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:47:37 GMT

Low Self-Confidence? Tired? Annoyed? Feed Up? Hateful? Disgusted? Feed Up?

You figure out what I'm trying to say....

And what this had left upon me.

Second Month Of Spring

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:35:42 GMT

Haven't updated lj in a while - probably two days.

I understand the week isn't over as of yet, but week one is almost over for college. Another eight more weeks to go. On Tuesday night would be the highlight of my week, so far, because I spoke to my grandparents and rest of the family - a traditional family gathering for Eid. I miss the togetherness of the family. Urghh.... tomorrow there will be plenty of that. Why? We are going out all of Friday. How Fun!

I'm going off topic.

When I spoke to my grandmother, words weren't coming out of my mouth. Tears of joy just had me hanging off a hook, even words can't describe the best feeling I had, was listening to my grandmother's voice. Sounds so childish but it was a comfort relief, especially with the days, Monday and Tuesday, weren't so great. I told her how much I missed her cooking. She said, "I made your favourite Lebanese dish, open up your mouth so I can stuff you up," laughing out loud. She is my of the few people who brings the happiness into my life.

Also speaking to one of my closest cousins, Rasha, who is younger than me by two years. She is awesome. I miss her dearly. Thankful enough my other cousin, Nader, who lives in New York landed in Lebanon safely.

Yesterday wasn't such a bad day, except my approach to my Professional Practice presentation - was terrible. Meh! Surprisingly enough when the class found out that we have a class exam, it really didn't occur to me to overreact with nerves, that's because I'm so use it and the fact is I was not in the mood to think about anything. All I knew was to absorb as much information as possible and memorise certain figures of this rich dude's life.

Last night I managed to fill out both application forms, my fee-help for the BA next year and renewall of an adult passport. I kind of like it when I'm tired. Why? I know I don't think as much, get the job over and done with. I dislike application forms. Well both have been completed - hopefully I'll submit the renewal for my passport application with further documents later in the week, probably on Wednesday morning seeing I don't start college until 1p.m.

I'm done in typing...

Kill Bill

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:56:58 GMT

I've been up since 4:30a.m. and thinking that I will start my first subject - TV Journalism. The lecture, Bill just cut the class out of sudden. Arghhhh...... what the hell? Now I'm left here at Macleay or unless I keep myself occupied. I am so tempted to go to the beach right this instant, except nobody seems to be interested in coming along. However, at the same time worried if this day could get any worst. DAMN IT!!!!!

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:26:21 GMT

Thank you :)

Today's guess speaker was held outside of campus.

The guess speaker was Jason Morrison, 2GB's Director of Current Affairs and talk-radio presenter. Also works alongside with Alan Jones, a man who I definitely have high represent for in the media industry. (I admire people who have the courage to speak out he or she mind and not afraid to take a stand)

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you very much Mr Morrison - for the great wisdom of your words. You have made me look at my career sector in a whole new different perspective, considering the fact, after a while I did have my doubts in becoming a journalist. And whether I am cut out to even be a journalist.

Also wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to Celina Edmonds, who was my lecture for the past two terms for, Broadcast Research & Production and Media Presentation. Though I don't really have any favourite lectures. I certainly enjoyed attending your classes and inspired me to become more of a journalist - that's what made course at Macleay more interest. Despite the intense work every student had to go through.

Tomorrow is the last day of term 3. I would never have expected myself - if I was to have a prediction of myself last year, not in a million expect myself almost finishing off a Journalism course.

Almost there.

When November 28th comes don't think that you are going to see the last of every Journalism student graduate from Macleay College. As Celina said, "Its not the last you'll see of these people," which I completely agree.

*coughs... into the distant darkness*

I for one had one interesting train ride. In a rush to catch the train - as usual. I caught up with one of my old friends from high school, Marina, :) it was good catching up with her until she got off at Straitfield. Her friend was on the same train too, who is really nice. She stayed on the train until Central. Amazingly enough the conversation with her was great! Something I have also been wanting for a while - simply appeared within my eyes. She is studying, entertainment at a private college located in Central. But hey! Apparently wants to get like a recording contract with a record label or wants to become a executive productive. That's awesome. Though I just met her, she is someone I would like to keep in contact with - for sure.

Yesterday afternoon - when Shorthand had finished I went straight for the net :) didn't feel like publishing an entry on live journal as usual but wanted to talk to someone. And my cousin, Nader was online. He lives in New York. Who has one awesome lifestyle :) Get conversation I had with him. Also spoke to Angeline :) love that girl heaps! Thankfully I'll be catching up with her tomorrow... wohooo *giggles* have lunch and catch up old times :)

Urghhh... last exam - Photojournalism, won't be that bad - I think! Following that we have a guess speaker but not on campus, some where in Elizebath St. Close near by, thank god!
