*E- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!! the day before

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!

Okay. bad photo- but its the first one i found. lol :)  LOVE YOU LOTS AND HOPE YOU HAVE FUN CELEBRATING END OF HSC AND BEGINNING OF ADULTHOOD. :D

BLOODY ECONOMICS

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH?

AND WHY IS MY MODEM CLICKING EVERY 2 SECONDS!?!?!

My goodness.  After 12.30 tomorrow, I will only have one left.

After THAT one, I will have none left.

And the day after I will PARTY with friends, and then I will party with other friends, AND I WILL PARTY UNTIL THERE'S NO TOMORROW  the flight attendant makes me shut up gives me a complimentary Cathay Pac Toy and brings me a glass of juice.  AND I WILL COMMENCE PARTYING WITH FRIENDS OVERSEAS and take HOWEVER MANY PHOTOS I TAKE and eat as much as my stomach can handle and DRINK like a saltwater fish in the sea (which is alot btw ;).  PARTYING WILL CEASE temporarily while I am in SHANGHAI where I have to be on my BEST BEHAVIOUR, otherwise I'll be a DISGRACE to the family, etc,etc.

BYGOLLYGOSH. I feel crazy :(  Maybe it's because I had BEETROOT for breakfast. Really, it tastes really earthy.... D: D: D: I made my own beef patty by squishing some minced beef, pepper, salt and oil in a little plastic bag, and i shaped it and sizzled it (AND IT SHRUNK! WTH- lol rip off... ) and put it on some buttered break with bbq sauce and tomato and BEETROOT and beetroot sucks.

One slice fell out of my er breadysandwich and hit the floor with a loud SLAP and I felt damn glad. I didn't have to eat that piece. >:( 

ON an even brighter note, GRATS to all those who have finished (CURSEE YOUUU)- and those who are going overseas in 3 days time (or less) TAKE CARE AND BRING ME SOMETHING BACK ;)

I don't know how people in China can study for >15 hours. I can't even concentrate after 45 mins or so. WHAT THE HELL- my mind goes nuts (yes, I will freaking break the modem with my bare hands in a minute when I finish), and I start walking to the pantry without realising- what's worse is that my parents are on a mission to clear the house of food- before our trip o/s and there is NOTHING TO EAT BUT BEETROOT so fml. Kill me  now.

Halfway

2 more exams. 2 weeks to go.

Looking forward to:

• Jap Extension dinner
• I WANT SOME KIND OF OTHER DINNER!
• AND OTHER ONE (just kidding)

Yeah. As you can see- not much (in the short term).

Something tragic happened yesterday. After I got home after my Bio + Jap exam (which finished at 5), I ate, watched some TV (to relax yo) and then I FELL ASLEEP AND NO ONE WOKE ME PROPERLY UNTIL 11.30 AND I WAS FREAKING OUT BY THEN BECAUSE I HAD ENGLISH EXT THIS MORNING!!!

I wasn't exactly freaking out when I first woke- I though english was in the afternoon (lol) until I was wise enough to check my calendar (thank- goodness...) and yeah. Freaked out. 9.25am. LESS THAN 12 HOURS TIME. Practically cried to myself while I was brushing my teeth- trying to wake myself up, lol, and studied until 12.45 when I couldn't take it and flopped into bed.  Dragged myself out again at 6 to continue studying, and rocked up to school feeling as stoned as evah.

I think the lack of hours studying didn't kill me (mentally). I feel like I did fine =/ hehe and the night of tv/sleep was kinda worth it.

After school (WHICH WAS SO EARLY- omg I love examtime), Janette, Sharon, Mindy, Swami (owner of swamiland) and I headed off to Parra to:

• Look for dresses
• Try on boots
• Find a place to waste time because I AM SUCH A FOOL I DIDN'T BRING MY KEYS!

So, I guess it's obvious who went for what reason. Especially mine. Lol. I'm such a loser ;;D 

Lunch: Seven dollar something Salmon and avo sandwich- because I WAS FEELING RICH, and I hadn't spent money on food in AGES (I lied. Sandwich + pie yesterday). No. I was just craving for salmon. mmm fish. mmm Omega 3- whatever that is.

Rohan got himself a Mexican potatoe (HAAA! They spelt it like that on their gigantic sign- EVERY SINGLE TIME, and I think I just chucked a Natalie Tran and pointed/giggled at it) spent ages eating it. Ooh. Will upload a photo of him stuffing his face. The cheese strand was never ending.. Crazy cheese (Bet it was No Frills or Home Brand or something...)

Yes. How. Er. Enticing. ;)

MEAN GIRLS :D OH HOW FUN IT IS TO LAUGH AT SUCCESSFUL GIRLS! >:)

Halloween tomorrow. Does anyone have any fun plans? 8)

I'M SO EXCITED

HELLO-

TODAY MATHS WAS OKAY.

I found questions 6&7 harder than the questions afterwards... but anywayyy.. Getting away from this topic-

Something super cool came in my email inbox today. :D

Future workplace sent me a department party invite. :D ITS A THEMED CRUISE! Disney! OHMYGOD :D

"Start getting excited, because this could very well be the best RCIP Christmas party this year! If you don't show up then you will be demoted*




*Note: This is an idle threat and we cannot back it up. Please do not take the threat seriously. "

I could get used to a life of work, study and party. Sounds pret-ty good right now. :D  The only downside is, I don't have any super tight friends (aka rohan) in my dept :( so yeah. :( Hopefully Ameya will quit ditching all the ey events and I will not look like a crazy loner in a weird costume.

Hmm. Costume.. what costume...
---

So, I only have 1.5 days to study for the upcoming double exam day :( Bio and Jap. Will not touch GG AT ALL- will sleep ON TIME and I will do all my past papers.. and revise grammar points. *gulp*
 
Good luck for 3u- math people :D Hope you all do well! 
 
Cannot wait until the weekend. Will go out and eat :D :D hopefully not yumcha.
 
STUDY HARD EVERYONE! We're almost there...

xoxo

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND.

Perhaps I didn't need to say that.

The moment the supervisor said "PENS DOWN" a wave of relief rushed through me and all of a sudden the world seemed like a not-so-bad place. It is the weekend. Friday arvo/evening/night - a time to stop and just smell the roses before hitting the books again.

Maths on Tuesday.

WHT- I am so lazy- lovin' abbreviations ;)

Woke, ate, examed, went out to eat.

Ate sitting on the table next to KANNY and she was sitting on the table next to HELENA who was sitting on a table next to HER FRIEND.. whoever they were.  That's the thing about the Village. I always spot someone I know. Pretty soon after they left (yerr we ordered twice ;), a bunch of 3 baulko I know of (who do not know me- I am pretty good at internet research ;) sat down on the table next to us and I spent my time split up evenly between shoving food into my mouth, flicking through the lovely present I got from Lucy today (THANKS!) and eavesdropping on their conversation.  Oh right, and fending off questions my dad asked about today's exams.

Right this brings me to go on, and on about how much Mod A sucked.

Mod A sucked.

/rant

After that, went home, watched the most recent ep of Vampire Diaries (the beautiful thing about HSC is that you have TIME to enjoy life between exams - unlike the hellish trials) and then er a whole season (minus 2 eps) of Gossip Girl (for the fans: season 2 btw ;)  I figured that watching more television shows would give me more ideas for stuff like creative writing. You know what's really good? Mando dramas you find in libraries about history, poverty, war or menopausal women.  Yeaaaaaah. Menopausal women. VERY interesting and hilarious to watch (on tv- not IRL ... lol) the stuff they fuss over- the way they think, it's all highly amusing. But yeaaah.

Stopped to do some study - found my lap top.

Read some blogs.

Decided to blog.

Blogging.

Damnit. After HSC I have so much to do.

Over these past few weeks, my dad has been downloading TVB dramas like a crazy maniac and GOSH I have so much I need to catch up on. They keep talking about things at dinner and I have no idea what they're going on about.  I feel... alienated. Home... Some say home is the entire Sydney, or Inner Sydney, or even Footscray (where ever the hell that is), or even a bloomin' flower.

But seriously? My home is sitting around the kitchen table with M+D+K. Even though we have our bickering... at least it's entertaining and will give us lots to talk about in the future.

B: lulz do you remember?
K: lulz yeah we were such retards and i dunno how M+D lived with it.. schloohrgghh (not a typo- in the future, there will be a new word for cool. It may not necessarily sound like this- but I picked this. It sounds like onomatopaeia for drooling.)

*sigh*

Watching the Thanksgiving ep of Gossip Girl has made me appreciate my family so much more. lol

Hehehe. HI KELLY- I know you read this. :) :) :)

KAY TIME TO SLEEP - EARLY? I KNOW AYE D: SO UNLIKE ME.
I'm so devoted to Mr HSC ;)

STUDY HARD!

PS. WEEKEND RESOLUTION- maintain strange sleeping routine- wake 7.30 and sleep before 12.30.

ciaaaooooo

Goodbye Skrzynecki

After taking an entire lesson or so learning to pronounce his name, and another day or so learning how to spell it correctly- and an AGE learning to write it in cursive without adding an extra "y" or "z" or "i", I can finally stop caring about his name.  Whoever the hell thought of putting six consonants together should really learn to spell/read.  By proper English err pronunciation, this work cannot be annunciated properly.

Anywho. My dad has been worried about me for the past week. He thought it was strange I was so relaxed.  Honestly, after writing over 10 different AoS essays, I was pretty sure I had most of the points in my mind today.  I've been a cool as a cucumber :) alot of people have!  Not memorising an essay paid off. I've never been good at memorising- I don't recommend it either, and today, not memorising an essay but writing off the top of my head paid off.

The fact that we had to write about ONE related texts did put me off a bit (I'm sure it put everyone off), because I felt like I could have outshined the rest of the state - I had prepared well for this new AoS, and I guess I'm just disappointed all that effort wasn't required.  This is why I really hate english sometimes.  It's like biology. You learn an entire section in the greatest detail hoping to nail it in the exam- and it doesn't appear in the paper.

But yeah, disappointment aside- just be glad they didn't ask for three (I KNOW- 100% unlikely), but I prepared one just incase?  I was also super glad that the Section I was NOTHING like the Knox (?) paper. The one with the bald man... Haaa. Yeah.

I wish I had a better night of sleep though. I went to bed at around 12- was hoping to go to bed earlier, but I just wanted to read over everything twice before bed. Couldn't sleep. It wasn't nerves- it was just.. eugh hard to fall asleep in this weather. Too hot to be in the blankets and too cool to go without. I didn't dare open my eyes to look at the time at all- so I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating when I say I couldn't sleep for hours.  But I did in the end- and at 4.54am I was suddenly WIDE AWAKE. Why?! Normally I'd be in deep sleep at this hour. WHY?!  Bathroom? No. Thirsty? No. Too warm? Nope. It had cooled down alot.

Then I heard it.

My dad left his bedroom door open, and I could hear his snoring. My door was shut and it was LOUD AS. So I creeped out into the hallway and closed his door- and went back to sleep.  Slept like a baby until 6.45am when I am awoken by a text message.

I get out of bed and read it.

Don't know whether to scream or laugh.

Sorry Cabbage- I really, really, REALLY love my sleep in the morning and sometimes I'm unsure as to whether I'd choose my morning sleep over friends.  :D Thanks for the gluck text.

Luckily enough- I was sleepy enough to fall right back into my slumber and slept until 7.30am.

WHT-

Got to school- waved. Half ambushed James (Z) - we were both unaware- I think we scared each other. lol. He was just lurking in the bushes and I happened to be walking past to greet the ex-birthday girl Lis. Handed her the equivalent to a box of roses, 3 easter bunnies, some Pepero, and some Lindt chocolate PLUS a hungry hungry hippo called Alice- exchanged hugs, complained about waking up, and boasted about being calm, etc you get my drift. Pre-exam hyping up time.

Skip Exam. Some BORING things happened- supervisors are kinda weird.  I wish the school were more organised and would dish out a bit more money for extra supervisors...

After the exam, there was a complication in our column and sim and I were one of the last few people to leave the hall. It was already something like 11.47ish. Atrocious. We sat there for AGES waiting for the supervisor and she just NEVUR came- except .. before we left of course.

Exam buddies (Sim, Rex and Xining.. ooh Cat I guess) who are basically people who sit around me during the exams and while we're waiting for the supervisor to come, we sort of have some silent discussion about the exam question.  Hot topic- one related text, etc. And the essay question- which made me think a lot more than usual. It wasn't as straightforward as I'd hoped, but at least it was just one related text? I sound like a hypocrite, but I mean that in two different ways- but now I'm just confusing myself....

When I was finally free, I think I had a stupid grin plastered on my face which somehow gave my dad (and probably Richard's M) the impression I super aced the exam.  Super aced is not exactly it- but I was happy I was no longer stuck in that miserable JC Hoskin Auditorium. Exams in the hall suck.  Richard's nose blowing echoes.  Thank goodness we didn't have people eating M&Ms (lol Janet! Our convo this morning!).

Wow, I'm feeling quite verbose today.  When I saw my friends, I just couldn't shut up today. Really. I had this urge to butt into people's conversation (stopped myself-luckily. lol) and to just jabber on about something unrelated.

AFTERWARDS, M, D and I went to Ewood for yumcha.  Samantha.... you should have joined your mum, because she & some other R09 mothers ended up sitting on the table next to us... I stretched out my ear and heard some juicy gossip- not. I wish I could stretch my ears. Gad. I watched fantastic 4 recently- and its hilarious. My cousin thinks I have really bad taste in movies. He's probably right. eehh.

Then I see Michelle (L) while we're grocery shopping and she tells me GAZILLIONS (3 other people) of R09 folk went to Cafe de Macau to have lunch. :(   At that point I was screaming "I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT" in my mind. Earlier that day, my dad and I were talking about where we were going to have lunch- and I was thinking of suggesting Cafe de Macau- but I didn't and let my M choose.  Even boring places seem extremely enjoyable with friends. ♥ you guys. Not seeing you lot 5 days a week makes me an utterly stupid talker/babbler when I do see you. D:

Go home- have a serious talk with my parents about booking my freaking airplane tickets because they're being sold like hot potatoes and all the GOOD FLIGHTS WILL BE GONE. Called up a couple of places ( I thought I was fluent in cantonese- but freaking asian travel agents use freaking hard words I've never heard of before ) and found out ALL THE GOOD FLIGHTS ARE GONE.  My dad is also very against M and I leaving on 21st Nov stopping at TP.

I'm annoyed. I don't see what's so bad about Taipei seeing as I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE. Forgive me for sounding retarded, but for once I want to experience something bad MYSELF. (and he sucks. when we were in tokyo, he said 100 yen shops were a waste of time, so we didn't even get to enter ONE STORE)

He doesn't trust asian airlines (except cathay & singapore) either, so he cancelled M's temporary booking- and booked for an expensive ticket that will take us to HK -> Shanghai. I'm annoyed. I didn't even want to go to SH.  Going overseas with D is usually all about visiting relatives. We spent 3 weeks in SH once, and freaking hell- had dinner at home like 6 out of 7 days. MAJORLY PISSED OFF. There are plenty of good eats in China- WHY, OH WHY DO WE HAVE TO HOT POT EVERY NIGHT.  I don't even speak minimal SH. Infact, I only know Xwords. lol. How do you do, thanks, telephone, toilet, SH, the address for our flat in SH, don't drink alcohol and don't smoke. THAT'S IT.

It is also cold, smelly and people on the roads drive like they are in some kind of super speedy race (don't keep up with racing. V8? ISNT THAT A JUICE- forgive my ignorance).. When the taxi drivers are turning a corner, they swerve.  When they are changing lanes, they swerve.  When they are driving in a straight line they freaking swerve.  My life is always under constant threat in Shang-hai. I am afraid of crossing the road (heck, I'm paranoid in safe SYDNEY).

Gosh. Not only are the taxi's scary.  Fights on buses... Swerving minibuses *cry*, cyclists who endanger the lives of motorists and pedestrians... The list is endless.

In China, I can't even buy a freaking tram ticket without being looked at funny. In HK I can haggle and pretend to be a local. (not really- haha apparently I dress really differently. weird trendy people in Asia)

But going back to what I was talking about before (lol... derailed...), I'm spending 2 wks in HK, 1 wk in SH (thank god) and maybe a week in Beijing. WOO my first time. However I'm leaving Syd 5/12/09 which means I'll miss the first proper item on the itinerary. boo. Coming back 10 Jan 10 I think. Just in time to suffer in the heat and kill my sun-deprived skin. (the sun does not shine in China... You can see it, but you can NEVER feel it- and it looks orange.. instead of like.. like. like looking into a lightbulb.  Thanks ozone. Thanks.

Should stop now. I've written enough for 2 essays (wild guess).  Today was fun, minus suffering the PMS rage of a certain female in the house. It was terrible. During dinner I was burned with a particular someone's eye-zap. ZZZ. Damn you MENSTRUAL CYCLE (I hope some of you shuddered reading that. I chortled imagining the shuddering. *creepy smile*)

ZZZ HAVE FUN WITH MOD A B AND C. ♥ mod C. :) LOVE IT

One day moreee

I think I know someone like that.

Haha. Pain in the ass.

This reminds me of what Joseph once wrote about...
***

So I've been up for approximately 6 hours today and have done close to no work. I'm trying to come up with another creative story- but it's so hard. I'm not feeling creative today. lol. Or ever.

*stabs eye* or not.

I am so incredibly bored. zzz.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW- Tomorrow is a good er training period to get your hand all fit and strong for Friday.

Time to get my passport interview doneeee.  Next time some racist idiot verbally assaults me on the train or something I can say something along the lines of "i'm not a terrorist you racist bastard, I passed my passport interview".

Gad I really hate racist people on trains. 

DOOOOOMSDAY

I'm sure you'll all do fine.

:) Best of Luck

Hopefully I'll be busy studying and not blogging during these couple of weeks.

At the moment, finishing exams a couple of days early sounds like a great excuse for dropping extension japanese. hahahaa

♥ See you on WEDNESDAAAAY

Stuck into it

PS (I know this shouldn't be at the top- but it's important)- LEONA ZHANG WAS IN DOLLY MAG. ULTIMATE LULZ. ;D;D;D;D

HELLO EVERYONE.

For once, I don't think I have anything in particular to blog about. I have nothing really important to say (not that anything I say is ever important)- but all day I've just been thinking about economics... food... economics... biology.. food.. japanese... mm japanese food...

My internet was supposed to be uncapped this morning, but I had trouble accessing it in the afternoon so I spent most of that time studying.  I realise it's actually not that hard to focus on the big desk in my room (the one D normally takes up) because the area is so big and I can just sort everything into piles.

I am a space hog.

I love nothing more than a BIG, WIDE, CLEAN area for me to work in.  There was a time when I used to take the table cloth from the dining table and work on the clean wooden plank- but M forbade me. She said I took too much time putting everything together again when it was time for dinner.  Honestly, I think a work table without a computer and annoying wires/cables is the optimum place for study- which is why the dining room is my favourite location.

Today M, D & K went to Bankstown.. or Blacktown.. or some place like that to get a haircut (apparently there is a good stylist there.. I just get mine cut at Ewood- Medusa. lol) and I had the whole house to myself for several hours. It was great. Well, it would have been better if my back yard neighbours (you know what I mean right? The people who share the same backyard fence as you..) didn't hold a party today that started at 12pm and ended at 9pm. FAR OUT. Who the hell holds outdoor parties that last 9 hours. :( 

Normally, I love kids. But during HSC, I'd love nothing more than to shove a sock in each kid's mouth. It's so disrupting and piercing and euughh.

Oh - actually I have something to discuss now :) Brainwave.  (btw, anyone tried Grainwaves? Are they any good?)

Loss... Death.. Grief. Whatever you want to call it.  Do kids know it?

I remember my Aunt passed away eons ago when I was nothing but a hyperactive midget.  I knew what happened to her. She wasn't playing hide and seek, she wasn't going away on a trip, I knew she had gone to a crematorium in a box and had been turned into ashes.  I thought every kids knew... but apparently not.

I witnessed a sort of naivety I had NEVER imagined before. It was humourous at the time- no doubt; but in reality, I guess it was a bit sad.  A little kid passed away, and the funeral soon came up.  The kid used to live with his group of cousins (seriously- ALL THE SAME AGE) and they had grown up practically brothers and sisters.  When the rest of the kids noticed he wasn't around anymore- there were questions, "mum, where is he?" "Dad, where's Ryan?" but pretty soon afterwards, they stopped asking and I thought they had forgotten about him already.

At the funeral, Ryan was carried in a white coffin, and like alot of traditional funerals, the lid was left off to let other people see his face one last time.  Vincent was playing outside, but was watching through the windows and suddenly he started making a huge racket.

"RYAN! RYAN! MUM! MUM LOOK! RYAN IS IN THE WHITE BOX! WHY IS RYAN IN THE WHITE BOX!"

The other kids started joining in, asking similar questions until Vincent's mum went outside to hush them up.  Later on, when they carried the coffin into the hearse, Vincent asked "Mum! Why are they taking him away?" no one answered him. I hate it when adults do that. TT__TT; seriously- for once, this kid asks a very valid question (he always gives me Ben10 pop quizzes) and no one replies.

After that he starts crying quietly which is unlike him. Vincent can be very sweet, but he's usually LOUD and obnoxious and very rude for a little kid (lol), and when he cries- he bawls loudly. D was worried by this, and asks him what's wrong.  Everything thinks he realises Ryan won't come back and has gone to a possibly better place.. but what he said shocked everyone and I think made everyone laugh.

He said, "Ryan won't come out of the box to play with me."

Maybe it's just me, but .. eugh. it's so hard to find the right words to convey what I'm trying to say.  Normally I'd believe NEVER to underestimate how much children understand- but I guess you shouldn't forget how naive they can be. It's cute, but sad. In this case- slightly morbid.

Children do forget though. I think Laura, Ryan's little sister, has sort of forgotten about him now.

Hm. I don't know how to end this post now. I don't normally write about this stuff I think- just found it a tad interesting.

Mmm. But a day of malfunctioning net, economics, bio and jap, left me lots of spare time to think about stuff I haven't thought about in a long while.

I can probably conclude that I was the smartest kid around. Unfortunately, I can't say the same now. XD

Hope you're all studying well! Hopefully I'll be able to visit KURA again this coming Monday :)  Have a lovely Sunday everyone! (PHO TOMORROW!)

Banana Co

I was losing concentration about 15 minutes ago because some idiot decided to bounce a basketball right outside my house. :@! Luckily for me, D's car sped into the street and the dude had to run away to prevent being run over.

ANYWAY. I decided to net surf for a bit and found BANANACO. For the second time today, I wished I could read/understand korean. (hehe injoke).

:O IF I COULD READ KOREAN, I would be able to find out whether this place ships overseas!!!  They have some terribly cute stuff I think would make great gifts you know :)

Hehehehe.

Whoops. I just noticed the google translation toolbar. Okay. Everything's good. I understand what the stuff in the nav bar says now XD  If I wasn't afraid of getting my ears pierced, I'd purchase some shiny goods from this site, but alas, I'm a shet scared of pain... and infection.

How I found this site?  Through Yumeko. This lady seriously travels abroad alot, and well- I think it's really interesting seeing what places she visits, etc so I'm still following.  I was mainly interested in her HK trip and her $US4.50 Pho she found in HK ... mmm and the Maritime Shopping Square? I vaguely remember being there actually. She visited Sham Shui Po :D

At the moment she's in London, and from her pictures, it looks pretty nice :O  I thought London was cold, dark and dreary... ==; too much Oliver Twist eh.

:( I want to travel.

Hope all you Japanese extension people are studying hard right now :) Big day tomorrow. :D:D What happens after the exam is super exciting I think. PHOTOS. LOTS AND LOTS OF PHOTOS AVAILABLE.

@Chris Au if you're reading this and not studying; bring your camera tomorrow! It's nicer than mine :(

Still looking for a non dslr :( camera which is compact and sturdy enough for me. I've heard some pretty good stuff about Panasonic Lumix (GF1)- except it looks fug, and my dad hates panasonic... :/ (why?!)  Is the lens not good?! D:  I've heard they use the same lenses as Canon. But I'm not sure.  I don't know much about cameras- so those who do  :D please share your expertise!  Pricewise, I'm trying to keep it below $500. X)

THANKYOU. GOODLUCK. GOODBYE and if you see me online, tell me to gtfo pls ==;

i. First Official Post

WARNING: If you're capped- like Nathan and many others, I'm sorry but this post is chocablock full of photos. :D  For those who aren't, please enjoy your stay.

I used to blog here, and here. But I decided Wordpress.org was too hard to use, :'( So I've come crawling back.  I'm so glad I have the updated (but slow) blogroll. It's better than nothing.

Anywho. To start off with a BANG! Here's something that happened today.  Well, not today, but ABOUT EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO some baby took it's first breath.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLOO!  If you want these pictures to be censored/taken off just ping/msg me and I'll do it asap. Actually, on second thoughts, I won't post up today's birthday photos yet. I'll leave that for another day. Got a lot of censoring to do. STAY TUNED to see some beautiful faces.. and Winnie's cake. :D IT WAS SUPRISINGLY GOOD, but more about that tomorrow.

Yesterday's photos.  Lately I've begun bringing my camera everyday again (after I forgot to bring it to Jazz I just felt like it should be in my bag every single day).  Yesterday was the end of speeches and just um. Nothing much else.



Jasmine giving her 20/20 speech and :O-ing at me because I was taking a lovely photo.


lol Ambert


The metal grids they have on the windows are so dusty.  I don't remember why I took a photo of this... I guess because it looks like they're doing something illegal. :/


Michael and Carol.  Apparently I'm supposed to take a photo of Michael everyday :/ starting yesterday. Not sure if I got one of him today xD  This is what we did in English. T_T;


:)

That's the end of that. Not very interesting. English never is.

YESTERDAY MORNING I FOUND THIS IN THE MAILBOX


Woooo! Soup.


Inside contents. Lawson Bread booklet, postcards, $25 voucher to buy Lawson Bread. :D Oh and 2 calico bags that I can use to buy bread, said the letter.


:) Apparently Lawson's bread takes TWICE as long to bake, thus allowing the flavours to fully develop. I can't wait until I get to try it. Hopefully I'll be able to get it tomorrow afternoon-> Sunday morning breakfast.



:)  I love getting mail.

On Sunday, I plan to wake early, go for a run (omg I need it, to re-fit myself lol), come back and make a HUGE breakfast for family (+ cuz IF YOU'RE UP FOR IT.)  Photos will be taken, and I'll show you all what Lawson's bread is like. I've never had it before. :D CAN'T WAIT.

Computer was being an a-hole again so my uploading failed. =_=;

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?
Got up at the same time as my sister, but she hogged the bathroom, so I just stood around in my uniform with FREAKING MANEY HAIR.  I have no idea what I do in my sleep, but when I wake up, I always look like someone's spent the whole night teasing my hair :(  I make breakfast in the kitchen and I see my sister walk into the kitchen, so I bolt to the bathroom. BUT ALAS, my dad has taken over. =__=;

WHY?!

And he takes ages too cos he has to shave!  Nyeaah. By the time I get to school, I see Michael on the oval in fitness gear. I change and Drew meets us and we run 2 laps.  they run 2 laps, while I jog slowly. WHAT THE HECK! I knew I was unfit, but NOT LIKE THIS. D: This is horrendous.  They went on to run more laps later, but I thought that was too much for me, so I just cycled. 8)  The cycling er bikes that don't move (treadmills? HAHA) were fun, until my legs hurt alot.  5 minutes later, I looked at the setting and realised I was cycling with RESISTANCE. D:  So I switched it back to 0 resistance and cycled. :( My legs hurt. :( :( :(  Favourite part would have to be skipping. Not much thought needed, and I used to skip every night. Dootdidoot. I should continue, but NO TIME! (youtube is more important).  Also did sit ups. Pain. PAAAIIN.

So that was all before school started.

Then we had class. AND I HAD 3 FREES. WOO! 
During the 2nd free, Chris, Shaun and I were coming up with the main structure of our unofficial year book.

This is Shaun hard at work. (DUDE, when do we get to read your blog!)


Chris taking photos of a puppet.


Chris molesting the puppet

then LUNCH.


:D I swear I used to see Sam everyday, but now I only get to see her a couple of times a week. xP


DAFFODIL DAY organised by Prefects 09-10. It was interesting to watch, but I think our one was better :D  Setting up Musical Chairs


Selling jelly and daffodils. For some reason, I got a shatass bunch of daffodils in the morning :( They were withered and 2 were rotting already ;D So I complained and got super nicer looking ones. *content*  Thanks Cabbage & Shi-Ling :)




Freaking computer just froze again. TWICE in 2 hours. Are you kidding me. *foams at the mouth*

Senior common room.  Not as packed as the beginning of the year, but still as stinky as ever.


Couch crew.  I swear, Neha & Campbell are always on the couch!


Borbor and Christine dancing. Not a very good pic.  I have a video.  VOTE IN THE COMMENTS. WHO WANTS TO SEE THE VIDEO? Dancing to Gee :)



Mayer's fish. D: It's so lively, so hard to take a focussed photo. This was the only non blurry one I took, out of the ... 15 or so. T_T;


Funny story. While Christine, Quentin and I were sitting down taking photos, Borbor was lurking about the place, pushing obscure buttons. !! DUN DUN DUN. THEN the entire W block had no electricity. HEHE. I'm not saying he has anything to do with it, :) but it was so funny because Best came around to see whether we had lost electricity, "did you have a black out too?"; we all exchanged shifty expressions! ! XD So great.  In the end, it was all fixed, and we were continuing to burn coal.

SPIDER IN THE ROOM


Yuck yuck yuck


It climbed onto the chair and Bosco had to get rid of it. D:


While he was that, we were taking photos :D



TO FINISH OFF THE DAY, a super bright photo.  Today's weather was hothothot!  It felt like summer again. Lovely.

Tomorrow is HSC JAP SPEAKING at Ravenswood Girls High. The school is frickin gorgeous and huge and waaah *O*  so nice. Ahhh Northern Suburbs.  Afterwards, most of us will be venturing into the city; more specifically, USYD for their Open Day which will be fun.  I still remember last year's quite clearly. 8) Just the few of us rushing to all the comm related seminars. XD

After that, Mindy said something about dinner for the girls, but I don't know whether my ears were just making that up so er yeah. :) I'm looking to save as much moolah as possible for the next couple of happy weeks though. Hehe. Need to save some money so I can SPENDSPENDSPEND overseas where I get more for less.

Good luck all the Jap people :) DO YOUR BEST!

To make this more dialup friendly I omitted some photos. :/  Birthday ones will come later.

:) ttfn!
