Elements

(29th March 2009)

It sometimes gets very difficult trying to keep up with the demands and pressures of this mad modern man-made world. It's good just to take a few hours out of our busy schedule just to go back to the original source, what God created... God is everywhere, and for me, it's through the nature-human relationship (human) nature.

Nature was our first habitat, until man began building... and building. It is crucial for human evolution, development and learning... but going back to nature, we can really feel what it's really like to be a human.

In the hectic urbanscape, I feel like a machine, a robot that's been commanded to go from point A to B (A being work and B being uni) and all other places (including C, home) are so stressful and hectic.

Nature is where I can be...

ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

10.11.08 Morning Hymn

Good Morning God!
How are you? I'm feeling great!
It's so good to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin and it always reminds me of your mighty existence, that you are always here.

Every morning I wake up and am always grateful that my family is still by my side. I'm glad to live this wonderful journey called 'life'.

Sometimes I find it so so so hard to stay alive because of the trials and tribulations that come about. And also living with my fears of fear, of time and of death. But then, I always always always remind myself this --

"At least I'm a human being that can experience the wonders and downfalls of being a human being. I'm not a rock, or a telegraph pole. I'm a human being. I have been blessed with 6 amazing senses. Using them to experience the experience, to experience the world, to the experience the wonders of God and of humanity."

Please help me to be less spiteful and judgemental.

Dec 1, 2008


my purpose for life is
to learn and to teach,
to inspire and to be inspired,
to fascincate and to be fascinated by.


and take on whatever life throws at me, headstrong!


and enjoy every moment of it...


and I return the favor by taking what I've learnt and giving it back to the people by teaching them, and sharing experiences.

im in like with you.

i hate it when people don't tell you they like you. and u liked them as well. when you find out they liked you, it was thru someone else. you had this gutsy feeling that they like you, but you weren't sure what to do, so you just are mesmerised by their company. when you do find out, they're over you. but you secretly wished they still liked you. OPEN YO MOUTH PEOPLE AND TAKE THE CHANCE!

ima scan a year book page and show u




After seeing a friends' refurbished terrace in Paddington, seeing all the culturally rich inspirational images at Tigerlily, watching the new summer David Jones goes to Rio advertisement and seeing some photos of eclectic, exotically-inspired people on Facebook I want to RESPARK MY HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS. (Of course, things have changed and I want to do more stuff)

I used to sit for hours in my early high school years drawing up plans of my future house. I loved going to Homeworld with my family on the holidays. I used to watch 'The Mask of Zorro' and 'Strictly Ballroom' again and again, and listen to the same 4 Arabic bellydance songs various friends from school had given to me. The list goes on, but I wanna be enriched, inspired and DRENCHED in abundant influence once more! I LOVE BEING SURROUNDED! SURROUNDED IN SOULFUL GOODNESS!

yezzur. lol.

If you're troubled
You just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby
You just gotta let it go
All your hustles ain't for nothing
You just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby
All you do is let me know

SOULFURIC! OOOOOWWW!!!

YOYOYO brodaz and siddaz

my proper first day off since mid sem break and its been WICKED! all i did was update my Ipod and sort out some new playlists. it's what music & I have been lacking - some serious sensual one-on-one relationship time.
Having lots to do is great, I mean it shows ur being productive... but past days I've felt the "crashing downness" of always being on the run. My room got messier and messier, I never saw my family properly and when I was at home all I wanted to do was sleep, not to mention my hair and skin ...
In my last 2 weeks of uni when all my assessments were due, i started working at both tigerlily and SP... then when "holidays" began... BANG! BANG! BANG! SP stores 4-5 days a weeks and tigerlily on fridays... and seeing people... and going out to necessary events such as friends birthdays, gigs etc... come home at 4am, work the next 6 days and same thing each week.
I'm not complaining or whinging, and if u think I am, then I'd like to say thank you for reading this post, it means alot to me.

ANYWAYS MY POINT IS...
im looking forward to slow things down a bit... now that I have everything I've ventured thus far, I need to replenish myself... spend a bit of time to myself... doing trivial things that i love... like sorting out and listening to my music, watch a movie, write a poem, update my diary, read books on exotic lost cultures...
Get my spiritual life back on track... i need to be more grateful about all that I have right now, try and be less critical about others and try to be a better role model to my sisters. I need my time with you Lord... and I want to get back onto the right path again... pick up the pieces and get myself back to full tank!
Everything's been absolutely fabulous overall, but imagine it could be 10 times better with a clearer state of mind! and I know I can achieve ANYTHING with it...coz I've been there before and know how good it feels.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!

01.07.07

The day of the sun
Between sounds or lights
The destination unknown
Four kilometres on the rattler
The kids set on foot together in spirit and unity
 
Mama Mac greets us
As Asia’s help desk says it’s time for cheers
A shot of green grocery
Sparks as the pairs intertwine
Venturing between the glass, the sticks and the balls
 
Winding up or maybe down
One beckons for some loving
Brushing slowly. Pause.
Rush, desire, uncertainty.
What if?
 
Destination Unknown
Mutual explosion of rhythmic bliss
Right then, right now, feels right yet clearly iniquitous.
Open up, unravel, answer, unfold.
Exploring the sensual and the mysterious
 
Uplifting higher and higher
Empowering in happiness, the essence of meaning
Ain’t no other perfection
Captured only by a dream out of this world.
Indescribable on replay and mind-blowing on repeat.
 
The significant other is blind
No-one will ever know.
A suppressed memory forever remembered.
Still feels good
And content as it always should.

My Dad's watching State of Origin!

SO. LIKE. TOTALLY.
Aaron has finally dragged me back to my humble adobe aka my blog.


Q: So what’s new Kimi Hendrix?

A: Uni's getting hectic, got 2 ass due next week and 2 due the week after then I’m done. I’ve been doing pretty well in assessments and managing fine. Less allnighters!

I’m working now which is great! I’m working at the SP stores in the city – SP1 next to Mooks and SP3 in World Square next to Hype. I’m starting a work experience internship thingy with hot hot fashion label Tigerlily as of next Friday. I’m still in denial cos I still cant believe they chose ME out of all the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students that applied for it! Wow! I hope it's great! I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I love partying and dancing (and getting trashy too! Hahahah what a loser I am). Oh, and my hair is long and black!


Q: How’s your outlook on life and all things important?

A: This year’s been amazing so far! I’ve been keeping on track with many things. Staying positive, taking it easy and enjoying it all. Learning not to take things too seriously and laugh along the way. What’s surprising is getting the things I’ve asked for straight away, which is fab I guess but it also makes me think twice about what I really want, hence the saying “be careful of what you ask for, as you may get your wish!”.


Q: What’s on the agenda for the next few weeks and months?

A: Uni finishes up in roughly 2 weeks, so that’s great. More time to party and do fun stuff with friends, family and have time off to myself! More time for work! So I can save for lots of goodies!

Things to save for:
1. End 2009 Mini world trip: London, Spain, Vietnam, Japan and Jamaica and maybe US.
2. End 2008: Either trip to Thailand or interstate with friends
3. Decks/Mixer/Amp
4. Parklife
5. General Miscellaneous life savings/Uni fees

I’ve been good so far trying to not impulse buy on stupid little things just cos I have money. Things like perfume, clothes, shoes and food need to be saved for, even if I have money right now to afford it. It encourages me to learn to save for something and feel like I truly deserve it and be financially in control. Bla bla.

I need to get God back into my life. Even though everything’s been running smoothly, I’ve kinda neglected praying and stuff. I’ve been contemplating which is OK I guess. It’s that time when you need a break and get back into it all when you’re ready. To be honest, I’ve been running around like a trashbag and letting myself loose. I tend to do that once in a while and I enjoy it… and feel free and happy yet crap …and guilty at the same time. HAHAHA.


Q: What do you feel has improved/changed within the past few months about yourself?

A: OMGAA this interview format is so gay hahahahaha. But anyways…

Umm I guess after what one of tutors said to me to be confident and trust yourself in your decisions, I really took that on board… not just in my design work and professionalism, but also my attitude to life. I’ve learnt to stand up for myself and for others who can’t. I don’t waste time on people who are always trying to put me down. Being aware, but not being competitive about what other people are wearing, designing, who’s popular, who’s got it all etc.
More positive and self-motivated. Ambitious I guess… moving onto bigger and badder things


Anyways, I sound so full of myself, but its something I’ve been waiting to get off my chest! AND GAWD DOES IT FEEL GOOD!

Have a nice day – 
not just for you, but for everyone else around you!

BIGGER THAN BIG!

To Dear Blog,

I feel fantastic, yet sleepy. Uni is consuming me, but that's okay for now - I can live with that. Actually I'm excited ahout all the events and plans I have coming up! Savouring every moment as it comes and looking forward to tomorrow. It's a WOW for me. Thank you.


"Kim is busy like a man whore at the cross. only slightly less promiscuous. and slightly more academic." Cheers Bon.

Have a nice day. Not just for you, but for everyone else around you.
Love Kim

HAPPY PEOPLE NEVER COMPLAIN. NEVER EVER... AND IF THEY DO, THEN SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. LIKE THE WAY THE COMPUTER FROZE ON OUR GROUP AT UNI TODAY .

Mini Feed as Facebook says. And why does 'Internet' always have to have a capital 'I' in Microsoft Word spellcheck?

Just thought I'd actually write something this time, since my posts lately have been ripped off other sources. Anyways, when people ask "How's things Kim?" I say with integrity "Things are great". I'm keeping up with uni so far, trying to work as efficiently as I can and making it a good habit. Along with habits is being tidy. My room has been under control for the past 3 months which is like OMGAAA! Family's funny. Friends - brilliant as always. Yeah, everything is rad atm. Just a bit tired/sleepy from travelling.

I decided I am going to become a bonafide hip hop gangsterette, or in my own words a 'SIKASS ASIAN GANGSTER' without the ratty, flairs and squat. I am slowly learning simple moves in breaking, hence my new term 'top rock' in my locabulary. I will also be fulfilling my teenybopper dream of DJing by turntable jamming with Mikey Hyper. Sweeeeeett. I seriously want to become a part-time DJ in the near future. Mixing sick beats and creating my own, we can finally have Australia's own M.I.A. Oh not to mention learning grafitti and stencilling from my awesome mate Adam.

As of design, I want to become an art director. No, not those senior ladies who work in the prestige art galleries, but rather being an overseer who envisions and coordinates the visual style/aesthetics/feel of magazines, CD covers, video clips, exhibitions blah blah without having to do all the hot sweaty work. HOW RAD!
...but in the meantime, I will be fired up in my nerdy uni projects, gaining work experience and absorbing the so-called 'art life' of gallery visiting, partying to baile-funk, writing poems, bird spotting et al. Simply just

DOING DOING DOING DOING DOING

K.I.M coming back with power, power.
yeh, starf*ckers. NO BUTTS.

SEXXYYYY

Everybody wanna know
Why I’m walking ‘round
with a big smile on my face
Hey I’m happy and it shows
Hey I’m back and I’m part of a human race
Cos you know I’ve been down so long
Never thought I’d ever feel this way again
And everything was going wrong
Til you found me and you make me believe again

I don’t know what you did
But what you did you can keep on doing it yeah
I’m so happy I wanna fly
Cos your love just keeps on taking me higher
Don’t you know I’ve been down so long … down so long
Never thought I’d ever feel this way again
And everything was going wrong … going wrong
‘Til you found me and you make me believe again

P*ZZA!



I had my first taste of emu, crocodile and kangaroo meat today!!! MMMmmmmMMMMmm! Yea, I was with Linda, Law, Fiona and her boyfriend Adrian and we went to THE AUSTRALIAN HOTEL in the Rocks and ordered which I would call ultra gourmet pizzas...

Sitting near us was the most OZZIEST man I have EVER seen. Not like those flag-waving racist bogans, but like a true blue *I LOVE THE PUB* aussie. He was like in his 50's, wearing white singlet, blue flanellete shirt with cargo shorts and thongs haha. He even had that beard and the cowboy kinda hat. And he just sat outside eating crocodile pizza with a schooner of VB. All of us Asians felt like the biggest dorks sitting next to him... looked like those Jappy tourists eating bush tucker in the middle of the city.

So what does all this wild meat taste like? In my opinion, emu tastes like steak, crocodile tastes like chewy chicken and kangaroo tastes like very tender lamb or something. The pizza base was soft, fluffy and flavoursome with a crunchy bottom... and you could tell it was good quality shit... like man, Ima take my family there one day. Each large pizza was 20 dowllah so it was heaps hectic!

I LOVE EMU!
ps. crocodile meat is white.

On another note, call me a design whore, but I'm really pumped for uni. I'm doing illustration this semester so let's see how that goes!! YEAAAA!! and I'm seeing CJ this Friday at O'Festival and it's gna be 34 degrees!!

DIRRTY HOUSE MUSIC + SUMMER SUN + GOOD COMPANY = LMAOOOIINNGG ALL DAYYYYY!! F*CK YEAHHH!

BIG STAGE. BRIGHT LIGHTS. SHORT LOVE. LONG NIGHTS.


I wonder why you are the way you are. Sometimes you think you've got a person all figured out, but then you think... there could possibly be this other side you don't know about them. I'm talking about one person in particular... Many times, I don't like the things that this person does but I can't explain why I feel so compassionate for them. They're wreckless and ruthless but I always wonder why is it they don't present the better side of them. I'd like to converse with this 'side' but with ego and pride being in the way, and me and that person being the way we are makes it a challenge. I've never met anyone like them. My experiences with that person so far have taught me so much... and all I wish for them is that they accomplish good in this life with all the talent they've been given. xo.

Marcellus: Night of the fight, you might feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you. Fuck pride! Pride only hurts, it never helps. You fight through that shit.

(hahah 3rd blog today already JUNKIE! hope u enjoyed reading my pointless story)

THE LIFE

written

12 January 2007.


It’s insanely fast how time goes by. We live our daily lives, hoping that each day will be better. Days fly, people come and go in our lives and each of them leaves an imprint in our hearts; a glimpse or as Umbrella says…an image to our memory. You learn something from these people that makes you a better person, whether it is directly or something you learn passively by observing their actions.


You come across people you wish you didn’t meet, and then you meet people you want to stay longer but don’t. I guess it’s all what God wants. People come, serve there purpose in your life for however long it takes them, and then they just merge back into the mainstream.


Sometimes you want them to stay around for longer. You want them so much that it hurts. Aren’t you just glad enough that they were just part of your life, even though they’re moving on with their own? Some say it’s like a tease – “You know you want me, you’ve had a taste but you can’t have”. Maybe it is for a bit, but in the end, it’s just something you’d look back on a couple of years, cringe and laugh about with your friends over dinner somewhere.


It’s sometimes sad to see things change, to see people grow up, to experience the rapid effect of time on our life. It feels like time is running out. And out time on earth is getting shorter, so we must do something more with our life for God. And that doesn’t necessarily mean waiting for the right day to come or doing something extraordinary.


Start by just building up what you think, say and do on a daily basis, because it’s only each day you can handle. There’s just so much you can do in one day and every minute of it has to be offered up for the Lord.


The things we say every minute, the stuff we do around the house, the way we present ourselves when going out, the tone of voice we use to our parent – we can change this and really monitor whatever we want to improve so that these little things can build up into an overall better life. Isn’t that what life is – a collection of single days after each other? If we are gonna live, make it worthwhile and enjoyable, both for God and for ourselves.


The way we live each day,

is the way we live our lives.


I thank God so much to live this life… to be able to experience life on earth, and to be able to converse with so many different people in my life. I thank you for me being able to experience myself. Why we do things the way we do… Why we were like that when we were younger…


Being able to meet such inspirational people, and even more gratefully, allowing them to become a part of your life… being that image to your memory. The act of sharing in each other’s knowledge and wisdom and what they have to offer in making you a better person in the eyes of God is absolutely incredible.


Life is beautiful.


“It’s interesting how people come in and out (come and go) in your life. It’s funny how you can just meet or know a person for such a short period of time yet they can have such a phenomenal impact in your life.”



(20/11/2007 epilogue) We can sit here and regret experiences and dwell on them, but isn’t it better to learn from it and be better next time? The words of Aaliyah – “If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again” say it all. You gotta do what you gotta do, just to make it through (the legendary Ms. Keys).
