day 7 - federation square and bush dance

hey people. im back from victoria market.. don't worry. i know i didn't blog after i came back but that doesn't mean i got kidnapped. yup. didn't get anything though. it was the night market we went for. but it was quite nice. there was a band playing.. and there was good food which a didnt spend time looking at or tasting. there were nice clothes and stuff but the prices werent good. haha. but nevertheless, it was good fun.

we had two periods of culture which was interrupted by lunch today.
jack took our group to the art gallery at federation square.
know how cool that place is?? it's awesome!
we got off the tram and walked past at least three cows!
there was a brown cow which had "how now" printed on it. how cute!
and there was this other cow that had a picture of mona lisa.
the third cow was standing and had boxing gloves i think.
the place was amazing. there were so many unsual structures (including the building itself).
that was only the outside. the paintings were inside.
the first floor was all done aboriginal style. earth colours. lines and dots. circles within circles.
beautiful.
i really loved the art pieces by someone dowling.
sorry larh.. cant rmb her name.
but they were done with layers over layers.. like. beneath the glittery dots were text, and below the text were pictures and right in the middle is the face of a member of the artist's family. it was so beautiful!
they all had so much feeling in em.. like.. you could see that the aboriginals really suffered..
and if you just looked at it from far, it'd just be a 3d looking face within a shimmery, colourful frame.
it was really really good.
after 20 mins, we went to get our lunches from the gallery locker and went to the riverside to eat.
we were right under the blazing sun and it was burning.
but the ground was cool and it didn't really feel hot at all because the wind was quite so cold.
yups. it was a good feeling. to be hot and cold.
haha.
we sat with our legs dangling above the water to have our delicious sandwiches, two bars of chocolate and juice.
yum!
we talked alot as well.. and this guy.. dave. he's weird.
he refused to sit on the grass to he squated.
obviously he got tired because the next moment he was sitting on his paper lunch bag.
haha.
he's got these slitty eyes and you cant see the whites. i don't think i'll dare to look actually.
i know this sounds really mean. but im quite scared of him.
he's like a *** maniac according to someone. during creative writing, he said he liked writing about ***.
and when it was his turn to read a picture at the gallery, he led us to this picture of sheep being uh.. shaved? well according to tya it's shave.. cause she can't rmb the word for it. lol. so wadeva.
but back to the point. he said that there was a sexual feel about the picture.
quite freaky. haha.
i really enjoyed lunch. alot.
oh manx.. i'm really gonna miss it hear when i return.

we had faculty of arts today.
bah. it was a bore.
the guy was talking about racism i think. i couldn't keep awake much.
haha. oh and you know what. there was this whole row of nan hua ppl behind who were sleeping. like.. seriously. haha.
it was quite funny la.. so after i saw them i didn't sleep anymore. i wrote a descriptive essay with incomplete sentences decribing the lecturer. haha. the tip of his tie(the back part) was tucked in his pants..
know what that means? means he wore his shirt and tie before putting on his pants.
OR
it coud mean that between the time he changed and the time he arrived here, he had gone to the loo.

i was drawing henna designs as well.
filling up the page with colour.
i think the lecture was a disappointment.
vidhi just said that everyone slept at the lecture.
haha. i was hoping for something more atrsy and interesting.. like.. anything but the history of australia.
haha. i think only nick was paying attention. he's amazing i tell you.
he knows EVERYTHING from politics to australian history.
nuts.
he reads the back few pages of the newspaper where all the world issues are. and he was so engrossed it was quite hard to pull him away from the breakfast table where he was reading for morning briefing at the jcr.
lol.
blog later! time for dinner!
