Camels, sheep and 1m long pizza

Had the best lunch break ever today.

Allow me to explain.

So when I walked into World Square this morning, I saw them setting up a marquee tent with Sex in the City 2 posters stuck up everywhere.  Her signature white dress of the film is hanging up on a mannequin, so I thought I would be seeing Sarah Jessica Parker in from of Marcs during my lunch break.

But I was wrong.  I took an early lunch with a cadet, an intern and a bunch of grads. I walked into world square and SAW A CAMEL OMG! Then went super high because- I mean seriously, it's not everyday you get to see a camel on your lunch break!

We ate at Mr B's (by the way, the $10 thai/jap lunches are no longer $10, but $12! Just FYI :) and then after bumming for a bit we headed back into the office to do some "work" on a Friday afternoon.  If you are wondering why M & I are in casual, it's CASUAL DAY TODAY! I.e. clean up the junk in the office.  A good example shown below.

This desk cannot be used due to the huge-frickin-normous amount of paper/files on it. Crazy.  It is also missing a chair.  After our clean up session, the desk was clear, and a chair was allocated to this poor lonely desk.  Also, far far in the bg, you may see many cartons of Boags/Pure Blondes.  Due to finishing my work 1 day early (yesterday), I pretty much had nothing to do today, so helped out with the cleaning of the above desk, and the unpacking/icing of the aforementioned beers.

But before that, I headed out to get a glimpse of the new Westfield. In my opinion, I don't really see what's so great about the new Westfield EXCEPT THERE ARE GOING TO BE FREAKING HEAPS OF SHOPS SOON! YAY!  I wish it was closer to the office :(  but it's only about 15 min walk away.  On the way back, I bought a cake.

Hi Baabaa Sheep! 

Yes, at this point, my day was pretty fantasmo.

Just to recap, what I had done up till that point:

1. Saw a camel
2. Got a photo WITH the camel
3. Had pad thai for lunch.. AGAIN
4. Saw the camel AGAIN
5. Saw the new shops
6. Bought a sheep cake
7. Month end drinks

Month end drinks is always good. I end up seeing colleagues for the first time in weeks because we're always stuck at the clients'.

Anyway, afterwards I get a buzz from who else but Borbs who is impatiently waiting for us in the lobby to go to dinner. Our walk there was highly entertaining, as he serenaded (more like spammed) us with "Now if you want to take a picture of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses of the faces of the ladies of the harem of court King Caractacus YOU'RE TOO LATE!!!!!!  BECAUSE THEY JUST PASSED BY!".

Before today, I had NEVER heard this ridiculous little song before, but it's quite catchy :)

ANYWAY, after our walk, where do we end up?

CRINITIS!

We ordered:

1m long pizza with three different toppings.

Wedges

AND I FORGOT TO TAKE A PIC OF THE PORK BBQ RIBS WE HAD.  But man, it was so good, I feel like I can still taste the bbq in my mouth. OMG I WANT MORE. I WANT TO GO TO HURRICANES!

For all those that don't know, Crinitis charges cakeage- meaning they charge a fee if you bring a cake and cut it in the restaurant (which is reasonable I think), and they send you singing/bongo playing men to drum a err whatever cultural version of happy birthday. Hawhaw.  Because we didn't want to be billed extra, we told them to NOT bring out our cake and we just want to borrow their fridge for a few hours.

After dinner, we headed to the Harbour, sang 'happy birthday', cut the sheep and I napped while the others cuddled up to their other halves, or went to watch an asian street performer pretend to swallow a burning torch.  At that point, I felt quite pooped out, as I had woken up especially early to get to training this morning, and I guess all the excitement of seeing a camel and eating a sheep cake kinda got to me, so I departed and took the train home.

When I was on the train, (listening to SHINee of course), a bunch of asian guys were dragging an unconsicous looking guy onto the train. They smelt STRONGLY of liquor and were loud and rowdy.  As a result, I moved into the upper carriage so I could play NudeRunner and Coin Frenzy in peace.  Turned out that guy wasn't as unconscious as I thought, because halfway through my train ride, I heard him wretch and cough and spew. Hahahaaa. Lucky me.

ANYPOOS. When I got home, it was about 10.40 and there was a package waiting for me (YAY! BEST FRIDAY EVER, RIGHT?)  I was opening it up, thinking it was Eat, Pray, Love ,or Grimms Fairy Tales, or the short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", OR a second copy of Tom Sawyer (left my copy in Orange when I went there for a bs trip earlier this year). BUT IT WASN'T. Infact, it was a purchase which I forgot I made, but I'm very glad I have it. It's quite entertaining.

Presenting...











The playbook!

Ok. So I guess this book wouldn't really come in handy for me ;D but being quite a fan of the show, I felt quite obligated to buy the book as it was under AUD 10.

So congrats to me, overall a very good day.  Perfect end to an up&down week!

Now, to finish my marketing poster and hopefully I'll be able to go out this weekend.

Hope you all have a nice weekend!

Day One for FUN

Was it fun? Was it?

In hindsight, I guess it wasn't so bad.  I got to see the people I would be working with in the future, and I feel like my future is in safe hands.  But I feel so tired. Today, I had to be a sponge. Hour long presentations and listening to feedback/discussions drained me. Honestly, I felt like I haven't done this in ages/ever before. Never this intense.

:O Nostrils!

I did not expect to take a laptop home on the first day. That was interesting.  But then it became slightly bothersome. I don't use HALF the programs they have installed on it. Lotus... yes. Lotus. Whatever happened to Outlook?! 

I came home- treated blisters, ate a bit, and fell asleep.  Later, I decided to figure out how to use Lotus and other things on the new Dell (yes. Dell. at least it's aesthetically appealing).  I had 73 unread emails. So I spent ages filtering through everything, and discovered I have client work after my official cadet training. Woop. At West Homebush- and apparently I'm allowed to take a taxi (on the firm ;) from Strathfield.. or something like that.

Unfortunately for me, I have a fear of entering taxis. I blame my parents for renting The Bone Collector back when I was wee lass.

BUT I AM TIRED> And so I will sleep. (unlike last night. I couldn't sleep and ended up watching Homeless to Harvard which is supposed to be an inspirational story, but just made me feel crap about myself.)

Hope day 2 will be less intense. 8) I'll keep you guys posted.

Extinction!!

Is  it just me, or is this place becoming extinct?! I think I'll visit Chatswood or Broadway on the weekend to watch a movie with my sister (not wasting that voucher from the Myopia thing).

Why did we get charged $10 each when we watched 2012 the other day? I thought it cost alot more ~$15ish. :S How confusing

WHT: Was on the phone for ages waiting for a Fairfax dude to pick up (stupid "queue"), and our conversation lasted roughly 30 seconds. I hate phone queues. The music they play is hypnotic, and it puts me into a stupid trance, and when I actually get to talkto someone, I don't realise until their third or fourth "hello". D: So embarassing. So yeah. After about 20 minutes + 30 seconds, I suspended our paper delivery until Jan 17th.  This is so we don't find the house buried under papers, or have neighbours suspecting some sort of homicide when we come back.

Speaking of death, I have an interesting-ish story to tell. Before I moved here, we lived in a block of apartments.  One morning, as we were leaving to go to school, there was an ambulance in the driveway and we were like :O. We were used to seeing police cars and ambulances rushing towards Parra, but there was rarely one in our driveway!  Turns out a man had died in his house for a couple of days before his next door neighbour realised. *gag* He was the secretary of the block and all our complaints went to him- but I never talked to him directly.  The paramedics said he had died a couple of days back because he had already started decomposing (EW), and his diary entries stopped abruptly- they were thinking on the day of his death.

Kinda eugh. Another story I've told a billion times, was when one of my neighbours went missing. A seven year old curry guy who went missing after school one day while playing at the intersection.  We were first alerted to this when we heard it on the radio! I remember thinking that the description of the boy fit our neighbour ==; and I didn't find out it was  him until that afternoon when there were forensic police or something clogging up the driveway again. He was returned in one piece, but was molested or something. After that, my parents never let K and I out of the house without supervision again, and a couple of years later, we moved. D thought this neighbourhood was a lot safe/had less crime rates etc.

A few months or so after we moved into this new place, the unsuccessful kidnapper story spread throughout this place. He was trying to snatch a kid from Roslea, but she was smart and gave him a big bite and escaped, etc. Some of you might remember this.  Our car was stopped twice by men in dark blue jumpsuits (police) carrying FREAKING HUGE GUNS, because it looked similar to the one belonging to the kidnapper. ==; How embarassing ;D but yes, also terrifying at the time. 

Speaking of terrifying, my recent experience in the carpark at Parra Westfield was exactly that. When I was in primary school, some people would ask me, aren't you scared of living in Parra? So many bad things happen there. But quite frankly, I never really witnessed anything specifically horrific that happened many times during the year.  Growing up there sort of made it feel okay anyway. I didn't feel in danger when I was wandering around the shops alone XD  But things have changed. The demographics have changed. I feel in danger when I'm in the bloody car park. People no longer drive at 10km/h inside. I hate those guys with the flat shiny sports cars and the gayass rear spoilers who speed, and make screeching sounds with their tyres making very dangerous turns. *shudder* There used to be NONE of this, and I find it very gagworthy.

My disgust for rear spoilers is just... extreme.

Oh I can think of 2 nasty events I witnessed at Parra Westfield. I've told both a billion times too :D

#1. This was many years ago. Back in the days when I had to hold my dad's hand when we went shopping. It happened outside Franklins- now a Coles, and it was quite horrific.  We were just walking by when suddenly we hear a man yell and see him fall down. D's nosy by nature, and did what he always does- walk closer to see what's happening. Unfortunately, he forgot he was holding a 5 year old's hand, and what I was was quite gruesome.  A cashier at Franklins was lying on the floor with a screwdriver embedded deep in this thigh. There was SO much blood- I'm not sure whether he survived.  The crook was stealing cash off him, and he ran out to chase him, but consequently got stabbed in the leg with an unsanitised screwdriver ==;.

So that was story #1.

#2.  When I was alot older (junior in high school), a  couple of deaths happened at around the same time in the shopping centre and the carpark.  Four people had been killed? or maybe committed suicide?  One guy fell from level 4 or 5- you know where the ledge is? and there was alot of blood at the bottom. And I saw another body at the carpark- because our car was parked on that level ==; and there was a lot of blood there too.

#1 + #2 + rear spoilers are the only bad things I've witnessed at this Westfield. It's not too bad.

I have no idea how I started talking about this... into such great detail. The bottom line is, I know we've moved into a hole- but I like this place because I feel slightly safer here compared to the rear spoiler infested Parra. :) If only the buses here came on time T_T;

3 days until ZOOOOOOOMZOOOOOOMZOOOOOOOOMMM

TEETH-erific Plans

Dental appointment tomorrow. I hate dentists. They really love to poke around my sensitive teeth and make me scream inside really, really loudly.

What's worse is that I think it's either at 8 or 9 in the morning. Ridiculous hour. We're stuck with these stupid times because we didn't book early enough as everyone's rushing around trying to get their eyes/teeth fixed before they leave the country for holidays.

WHT

Woke up at 8, got on my day clothes (hair + face + teeth) in less than 5 minutes. I had a big day today... washing dishes. *gag*  However, I'm just glad I didn't get stuck with sweep/vacuum/steam chores today. To successfully clean a house to my expectations (I don't normally clean, I like living in my pig stye- but when I do, I like it to be extremely clean), I take hours.

Soaked everything in uber hot water, then hand wash with detergent, then pop into the dishwasher = voila clean dishes/bowls/cups/etc.  Then comes the ritual of cleaning the sink, cooktop and cupboards, because- well, maybe it's just our place, but when the place is sticky or sweet, a mass of ants will invade the kitchen and that is super bad news to everyone.

Just when I was washing our sponges, I heard some rapping on the door. I answer, its Sam. A minute later, we (Sam, Cat, I) are heading towards E.station.  Bought our tickets from a really nice (what are they called.. ticket master? lol) guy sitting at the booth selling train tickets (==; wow, feel so braindead after watching so much tv) and got to H.station in NO TIME. Then we switched trains, got to W.station. HOLY CRAP. SUCH A GOOD LOOKING PLATFORM. Have you ever seen trees sticking out of the ground where waiting benches are meant to be?

Driven to bleb's place and commenced out One Tree Hill Season 2 marathon where we watched Nathan and Haley battle out their relationship + lotsa nasty comments coming from me. :)

It's not fun watching teen dramas by yourself. Especially ones that go for 7 seasons.  I shall go on to mention some of the highlights of season two. Some of you *cough bleb* may not agree with what I think [about Felix] but too bad :)

HIGHLIGHT #1.  Seeing 2 players soften up and get together
HIGHLIGHT #2.  Seeing Felix. Yes. Felix.
HIGHLIGHT #3.  Dan getting a heart attack.
HIGHLIGHT #4.  Mimicking Whitey/CMM's gayish accent. OH and the way Peyton says awkward "akwaRRRd"
HIGHLIGHT #5.  Bitching about Haley because she infuriates me so much.

AAAHHH teen dramas. I cannot wait until the adult seasons.  Will be watching Flash Forward soon. WOOHOO.

OKAY. So today I realised how much I like to munch on stuff while I'm watching tv. At home I'm used to munching on nuts + fruit + junk, but lately we've been lacking in the latter, so I've been munching alot on cereal. However, today we munched on cucumber and carrot sticks. Oh and a couple of bags of asian chips. Which are fantasmo.  Hostess' parents prepared an uber aesthetically appealing meal for us (presentation! trays n all!!) but I was being stupid and obsessed with helicopter tv shows so I forgot to pack my camera. 8)

MANY THANKS TO BLEB :D:D Sam and Cat for another really fun tv day. :)


Moving along, today I'd also like to talk about LOVE for materialism.  Since I was very, very young, Material Girl has been one of my feel good songs ;D (At first it was just catchy- but now.. it's still quite catchy :)  I find that I'm a highly materialistic person- I love my technology (even though it does hate me sometimes), I love my toys, my stationery, and well, of course my favourite actors.  Without it, I feel bored and empty I guess. My phone has been dead for the past couple of days and I guess I'm devastated because I use my phone alot more than I should. I rely on my phone to check most of my emails- the occassional twitter, the rare blog post, the latenight facebook, and of course my love to communicate via text and calls to friends. Without it I feel REALLY bored and out of touch.

Haha. And now my parents have virtually taken over my laptop (link to tv to watch) and going on the net from the PC is slow and such a bother- I feel like it's harder to keep doing what I normally do on a school day.  What triggered me to really think about it today, was when I found my Samsung Z400 (mobile) in my drawer. Earlier this year it was damaged and we figured it was cheaper to just go on a plan and ditch my original phone. This is going to sound really weird- but I regret not fixing my old phone because I really love it. The entire design of the phone is just so ME and the monkey dangling off it doesn't suit any other phone- perfect size, weight, the buttons are really nice to press, and the camera is of surprisingly good quality.

Shan't talk anymore. Miss you guys :) but at the moment, I'm missing my book more. Almost finished The White Tiger. Finally. :)

Hating Optometry

Sup dudes + dudettes.

I am hating optometry. Because it is so darn complicated.  Since Monday last week- I've had 5 optom appointments.

Stupid eyesight. If only it was a recessive gene- and I was a homozygous gened baby. Oh woe is me and my 2.5mm thick (super thinned already) lenses and my super soft jelly-like silicon contact lenses.

Digressing, today, I resumed my role as domestic goddess within our household. Before the greatest bff came over to watch hilarious (omg, MEI LURY CHU FORNG) HK tv cooking shows, I immersed myself in one of the greatest of all time cleaning sprees of my life living in this house.  No one is a frantic cleaner in our household except my dad- the clean freak (except on my desk- he litters it with paid billing invoices, etc. Such a pain in the neck).  The last time I majorly cleaned up (ie sweep + dusting + vacuum + steam + wipe, etc) was when I had a smallish "house warming" party- where a bunch of us just played mah jong which sucks btw. So boring. D: So loud. 

My room is so beautifully empty. All my stuff is shoved in my wardrobe or the hole in the wall which has no shelves.. or nicely tucked under a sheet on the upper bunk.  8)

Hmm. I have the Disney costume party on this Thursday- and I'm still wondering who I should go as, and whether I should go altogether. I glanced at the emailing list- and from the looks of it- no one I know is going, and I'm going to feel like an oddity, wishing I was holed up at home watching more MEI LURY CHU FORNG (lit trans : beautiful women kitchen= hilarious tv cooking show in HK).

What Happened Today (wow, haven't done this in ages)
8am- awoke to K+D+J walking out the door to go to school/work.  went back to bed
9am- my alarm woke, dragged myself off the couch (yes, I've been sleeping in the living room!! watching tv until I fall asleep- ahh that's the life)
9.05am- a bowl of cheerios later, I'm bent over the toilet scrubbing and changing the little cake of duck fragrant stuff.  I got a good whiff and almost choked to death.
12.30- felt sticky and disgusting but my guest was ALREADY HERE. Cheryl walked all the way from her place :O what a great work out. Luckily today we didn't get utterly horrid weather. I can't believe she walked though (next time just call and we'll come drivinggg)

Then we just sat on the couch and stared at the moving box for a couple of hours. Intro-ed her to VAMPIRE DIARIES (ian somerhalder!) and we watched a bit of HIMYM- Barnman and Robin. And that was about it.

When she left, I hung around with K and J while they were doing HW and played a game called Distraction. It was very fun- but finished about 30 mins later cos D came home and found us almost destroying every single fragile object in her room with our squishy scoobydoo ball + wizard footy.  Got busted for running wild with 2 year 9s, so just sulked around until dinnertime.

Man. Dinnertime was interesting.  For the first time in a long time, M made soup- non herbal/non awful tasting soup. And for the first time ever, she used pumpkin in it. Also- she boiled some eggs today (have not seen that at home since I dropped my phone on my head a couple of years back and had a green lump on my forehead).  D's watching his health and isn't eating foods which are high in sugar and cholesterol, and shoved three egg yolks in my soup. why the heck would someone put stuff in  your soup! It's bad enough when they put soggy stuff on your rice (daaamn chinese customs) and taint the wonderfully pure white grains in your bowl!! BUT SOUP!?  So I dissolved the yolks into the soup and drank... till I could drink no more. Holy crap- it made me feel so sick. NEVER- NEVER- NEVER EVER EVER dissolve 3 cooked egg yolks in soup and drink it in one go.

This post will end now- or I will go into details and you will all feel a purging sensation.

---

Almost starting to miss school D: WHERE ARE YOU ALLLLLL

*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)

Feeling Murderous

At the moment- people who live semi-across me are freaking standing in their front yard chatting. I WANT TO GRAB A KNIFE AND CHUCK IT AT THEM!!!

Such a distraction/disturbing thought led me to believe that I am in need of a rest. So I went to Rohan's blog, and the ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS:

STOP WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I'm not broke (nearly though). I REALLY LIKE THE WHITE ONES IN THIS PACKET! No other brand can provide me with such intense flavour and favourable texture. ♥ you homebrand. ;)

Wow. I have not posted a photo here in AGES.

Last week (or even before that) D came home with a huge box. I was super excited cos I thought it was a package from o/s relos. But it wasn't. However, I didn't feel too entirely disappointed becaaaauuse...

There were RED TULIP BUNNIES in the box! Along with the Cadbury bunnies (the policeman + cook- remember?). They weighed exactly the same, tasted.. the same, had the same shape, and when you took off the clothes foil, they looked EXACTLY THE FRICKING SAME! OH MY GAD. D:  I've spent my entire life telling M to buy Red Tulip easter eggs for me because they taste better and are cheaperrr... but they don't taste better? THEY SHOULD TASTE THE SAME?!

OR ARE THEY THE SAME BRAND?

SOMEONE TELL/HELP ME. I'M LOSING MY MIIIIIND OVER THIS.

Bottom line? It was yum.  I chucked 3 into Alice's care package, and I think she's afraid they're over due from easter last year or something. HAVE NO FEAR- these are the new ones made just for fitting (onto their plastic trays- D's completed project. he gets to take home bunniesss). :D

WHT-

Ate practically an entire pack of gummi bears- sugar high = no study done.  Revised Jap vocab. did maths. did bio.

:O neighbours shut up?

YESSSS  a sign for me to go and study.

HAVE FUN DOING MATH PAPERS EVERYONE :D SEE YOU TUESDAY

PS. Maybe it was just my eyes this morning... I went out to fetch the paper (I wish we had a dog. lol), AND I THINK MY NEIGHBOUR HAS A JAGUAR. I don't mean pet- I mean the purring, shiny kinda jaguar with 4 wheels. OH MY GAD.

I know jack about cars. But I saw the little jaguar leaping off the hood. :D I wanted to break it off and take it home :D

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

MAWSON!

:D CAN YOU/YOURPARENTS BE OUR GUARANTORS 8)

We've got everything done now (including passport photos- omg yuck) and you get to be one of the few privileged people to see the ugliness. xD

Thanks everyone for the sleep comments. Lol. I got up at 9 this morning so its okay :)

Talked to D about trip today (suprisingly he didn't tell me to shut up and study instead) and he for some weird reason really, really hates China Airlines so :/ we might not be taking Quentin's flight afterall (@Mawson: I talked to the travel agent, she said we could stop in TW for 3 days ! so yeah haha might..). We might take our normal Qantas/Cathay or take Jal and stop in Tokyo for 3 days...

atm: 2 wks HK, 2 wks Shanghai.

WHT-
Went to Granny Smith Festival- ah fresh air.  Only went to Ewood to take passport photos (damnit, I'm taking it myself next time- such a rip off). Missed Road to Canaan- oh well, next time :)

Last night I went to bed really late because I was checking stats (WHO) and reading practically everything single word on the smart traveller's site.  Even stuff like the "what to do if you get sexually assaulted" articles.  But yeah. The WHO stuff was interesting- I took ages reading and before I knew it, it was like 2. THERE'S THE PLAGUE IN CHINA! But only in the obscure farm-y locations in China.

Read stuff on passports as well last night- I know so much about them now. lol. Apparently I need to be interviewed for my new adult p/p. I bet it's just one of those- "what's your name" and "why do you want to travel" making sure you're not an obvious terrorist, etc.  (@Diti- the travel insurance that covers terrorism is really... wow. haha I doubt any plane to China would get highjacked though. Everyone's chummy with China)

MATH TIME :D

PS Hi to all my readers from the US, Canada and Norway :D

Hello!

Currently feeling victorious because I now have access to many AoS trial papers thanks to Rex and my fb stalking.

Yars. This morning I was surfing fb and I came across a status that cried out for help. Something along the lines of "anyone have trial belonging papers?" I think. Then this lovely random put three hyperlinks in the comments section and I CLICKED ON IT AND FOUND PAPERS.

Hours later I hit the frams and thanks Rex :D 123 pages of trial exams.

In all other news, I was covered in dust and feeling a bit itchy now. D: This morning, M barged into my room (far in! I was doing one of the papers I had found and she ruined my TIMED mock exam >:( ) and told me to pull out the suitcases from under my bed and take out everything that slipped into the dark crevasse which is the gap between my bed and the wall. I don't know why, but over a period of time, the gap has widened and once I found myself waking up with 1 leg out of sight!

So I crawled into that claustrophobic space and almost got stuck- lol gotta lay off the chocolates. I actually found alot of junk down there including a tshirt I seriously haven't seen in over a year, the odd sock and LOTS OF DUST.

:(

***

Many, many, many years ago when I was stuck blogging on live spaces, I noticed this blog that looked exactly the same as mine. Same layout, background image and title- which I thought was strange because I had customly fiddled around with the colours and uploaded my own background pic.  So I clicked on the person's profile and she had the EXACT same description as mine!  She also stole my blogging material D: Copy Pasting, etc. My gad. I was furious. And I think I wrote a rant blog about it and commented on her blog. A week later, the blog was privated and I couldn't threaten her anymore. :(

Years later, K's friend added me on Bebo. I didn't accept her because she's a retard and said I was ugly to K when she thought I wasn't listening ( >:( I'm not, I own the most attractive face in the universe! hmph ) I was only furious because her face was caked with some kind of greasy and overdue foundation to hide her flaky skin. Lol. So yes, I looked at her bebo- her descriptions, images and thought !!! what the hell! I've seen this all before! Is she already my friend?

So I searched my friends list and ages later found the same photos/layout and descriptions.

Oh my gad. What a humiliating experience it must have been for her.  Lets call the mean girl H and my friend R. H had even stolen R's display picture. D: There were comments on the photos like " omagad H, such a cool pic, did you take it yourself" and "woah looking hot- pro ps skillz" and she said "yes, thanks I'm on ps like all the time" etc etc.

Dootdidoot. I'm not a whistle blower, but I felt the urge to tell R that H was using her photo as a display pic. But someone beat me to it :D and she got a massive butt caning and her account was suspended with Bebo and she lost alot of face at school.

So that's the end my my story- and I don't know why I told it. It's just something that makes me smile evilly >:D which is a good feeling once in a while. Good triumphed over bad- for once. :D Yayers.

Digressing, only a few days left until the big Hoo-Ha. So study hard everyone.  After looking at the HSC timetable, I don't feel so awful about exams (except the bio/jap/3ueng does make me feel slightly queasy).


SHOUTOUT TO BLEB: :D HIYA. I would reply to your text but atm all my texts are going to the "outbox" folder instead of the "sent" and I don't think they've been sent. D: feel like I haven't seen you in yonks :( except on frams :D

SEEEE YOU ALL SOOOON (looking forward to all this to be over)

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!)

Little Luxuries

Because it's holiday time- I get to enjoy the luxury of sleeping in and spending at least 30 mins preparing/having breakfast. These past few days, I've been having an egg & ham sandwich with a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk- it's kept me going until lunch. No morning tea break- no snacking :O The wonders of eating breakfast. I normally skip cos I love my sleep in the morning and wake late everyday.

Question: Does anyone use the back of a spoon to spread stuff- ie like a butter knife to butter bread?  A couple of years ago, our family & 2 others went on this camping trip up on the Central Coast. In the morning we had breakfast and my duty was to butter the toast. I instinctively reached out to grab a spoon and proceeded to dip it into the butter and used the back of the spoon to butter the bread. When the 4 kids from the 2 other families saw, they were like "wtf lol" and thought it was ridiculous.  The fact is, I've done it my entire life.  I rarely use a butter knife to butter bread.  I think spoons are really useful because they're super versatile.

When I was at Singleton last year, I was again laughed at for being a spoon kinda person.  My knife was made redundant. I never needed it. The edge of my spoon could cut, it could scoop, it could stab (I'm a master-spoon user) and well, it could shovel really well. I used it for porridge, cereal, cutting up puts of potato and pumpkin, scooping up peas, etc.

IS IT ONLY ME?!

WHAT I LOVE SPOONS!

My favourite- sunny side up eggs.

1.  Melt some butter in a hot frying pan.

2. Crack an egg onto it.

3.  When it looks like the egg in the above picture, sprinkle a right amount of salt onto it.

4.  Switch off the heat.

5. Use a ... what are they called.. a flat wooden spoon? (I used a fork) to flip it over and let it sizzle for a couple of seconds.

6. Serve

Or in my case...

PLONK IT ON SOME BREAD :D

I eat this every morning now. 2 slices of buttered white bread (I gave up on wholemeal- left a funny aftertaste), 4 slices of honey ham, generous amount of mayonnaise (mm), sunny egg with pepper. :) It's a great combination.  Egg= good for brain :D excellent choice of food before exams.

Other brain foods are nuts and berries.. but I haven't had those in a while. Should stock up on those next week. Bahaha.

***

I was going to say something about Chupa Chups.. But I've temporarily forgotten, so digressing...

War paint

ISCF End of Term- Capture the Flag. I decided to tag along after spending some time at school studying that day.  It was fun. Haven't done so much exercise in one day. (I have been playing with my dad's dumbells {shuddup} every night now, and seriously, I feel stronger than ever hahaha)  I keep forgetting to bring my camera to important/fun events so I'm stuck with my shakey phone cam.  At leasat you can still see Edward Scissorhands :D and Sam's pandas :D  Actually- I have a similar toilet photo taken with Sam. I'll find it now..

R.I.P Silver Canon IXUS.

People told me I looked like a different person that day . D: I LOOK LIKE ME!

This was taken last weekend- the happy day I finally found my dress. Haha. It was awesome. HUGE moon cake. D stuck his hand into the photo to use as a "comparison". *cough* he has a huge hand. His fingers are at least 5-7cm longer than mine- so. Err. yeah. That's how big it is. If you want to see it for yourself- I hope it's still at Sussex Centre in Chinatown :D  It was there when I visited on Wednesday so.. yeah :)

I REMEMBER NOW! I was going to talk about how my cousin was the face of chupa chups like 25+ years ago. Haha. Yes.  I'll have to do some digging to see if I can find it again.  M tells me my cousin V was a really chubby kid and all she had to do was to suck on the Chupa chup, pull it out and say "Chupa chup".  Damnit. I wish I could have been a part of history like that :D I want to be in an advertisement (Not the Bonds Kaleidescope ones.. but I wouldn't mind KFC :D)

Speaking of KFC- I mentioned ages ago that they would have a new consumer product- Krushers or something - the ads are super annoying; but I really want to try the Golden Gaytime drink. I've never had a GG before. Back in the days when I used to be able to choose an iceblock to buy- I'd always choose the Rainbow Paddlepop (they're different nowadays).  Anyway- I was just going to say; Krusher cups were one of D's project and he took the tester batch home- so we have alot of recycled plastic cups.

Producing recycled materials is actually a lot more expensive than making it from raw materials- and it's sold for much less, but in the manufacturing industry- if you can't make products from recycled materials- you can't do business with all the big companies- ie MacDonalds, KFC, Woolies. You need a specific type of machinery- access to  used plastics, etc D: and alot of smaller manufacturing companies are dying fast. People are losing their jobs and the big companies like V*sy are getting bigger and bigger.  I think it's almost a monopoly market now =___=; But alas, it cannot be helped if everyone wants to be "environmentally friendly".  Only the big companies can survive- especially in our currently state (globally).

Oh I hate being capped. I've been capped for the past couple of days and it's been a pain to surf on my mob- I think I have pretty bad reception in my house, even though I live on top of a hill. T_T;

Anyway- hope you're all studying hard. Alot of you have been updating your blogs, my but I've been trying to load the pages for over 25 mins now- TAKEN AGES :@  I shall try again on Sunday- UNCAPPED BLISS.

CURRENT WANTS:

1.  Fixed up sleeping time- it's so hard

2.  SUCCESS ONE BIOLOGY

3.  DRESSING TABLE- I have too much junk on my work table. :(

4.  To go out and eat. D:

5.  For March to begin already so I have my income, food, friends, hopefully dressing table, and HSC will be long gone by then.  :@

HAVE A NICE STUDY FILLED WEEKEND EVERYONE (before the nightmare begins)

:)

We're a bunch of touchy feely homos

Hi everyone!

I don't think I've ever said SO many "I love you"s and "I'm gonna miss you"s so many times in my life. I don't think I've ever heard it said so many times in my life. I've NEVER been hugged so many times in one week (lol Danny's winning- LOL He just pulls people into ginormous bear hugs. bahaha).

Sentimental September. Where magic happens.

• My first HU-freaking-MUNGOUS group hug (jazzog ♥- I know I complain alot- but I will miss it hehe)
• Bryan clean and shaven. Bryan writing a nice message to Winnie in her book. Bryan coming out of the closet~ so much Bryan stuff has been going on. Bryan showing his homoside hugging everyone in sight.
• Marcus becoming un-camera shy. Good thing too. He isn't unphotogenic or anything ;D
• EVERYONE COPYING WINNIE'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS- WOOO
• People talking to people they didn't really talk to (hehe talk talk talk) in the past.
• BIRTHDAY MONTH :D CAKE, CAKE AND MOAR CAKE
• Lotsa class parties
• Lotsa photos
• Lotsa class photos
• Lotsa teary moments
• Lotsa grade love.

I love you Ruse09. I can't say it enough. You guys have been such a ridiculously hilarious bunch. We're all different, but somehow we're like an enzyme to it's specific binding site- we fit perfectly like a puzzle. I couldn't imagine our grade with other people- I can't imagine being anywhere else. I will miss everyone lots. Damn I'll miss the humour. I think our grade is very based on injokes, cruel jokes and humour. :D We revolve around humour. It's great. :)

Oh gosh- I just wasted some precious sleeping time tagging photos on fb. HAHA It's quite a waste of time :( But I like doing it anyway. It makes me observe photos more carefully.

Speaking of photos...

Here are some from the luncheon.

There's just SO MUCH I want to show you guys- (should check FB) from the luncheon and beach AND birthday bash for Carol and Winnie~ but  just not enough time. I'm feeling DEAD tired today. Super smashed (beer + a day of fun at the beach lol + STEAK AND CAKE RHYMES) tonight.

So yes. Day of luncheon
