Caution

I'm afraid that I might not be able to leave the house tomorrow. I seem to be getting sicker than I have been this past week. BAD NEWS :( KO touch is tomorrow @ St Mary's.

What bad luck.

Man, why can I never get better before exams =_=; Gayness.

Speaking of gayness, CBA raised interest rates. So mortgages will take longer to pay off. How nice. People with mortgages will now be less inclined to splurge more (like my parents), which is controversial because the govt has done so much to do the opposite thing.

What I've realised is that it hasn't been raised THAT dramatically- the number hasn't increased THAT much, but the word "increase" just freaks people out. :( I think CBA has one of the lowest interest rates (emphasis on I THINK), however, other big banks will say "HEY THATS A GREAT IDEA TO GET MOAR MONEY, LET'S COPY" and other mortgage payers with other banks will pay more =.=;

Damn, finance is so interesting.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY - wow I haven't done this in a week or so

I "learnt" to reverse park.
For HOURS.

Here's the bad thing about getting it exactly right on the first go (damn flukes)-

-raises my dad's expectations.

How did my second try go? FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL *insert Tim's fail blog post*

D: I WAS STANDING RIGHT ON THE LINE, smack band between two car spots.

So he got angry.
Then I got scared.
So he got angry.
Then I got pissed off.
So he got angry.
Then I stomped on the accelerator and the driver seat probably has my head imprint on it now.

Bahaha.

Then I perfected by reverse parking.

Note, we were at Don Moore, so yeah, Sunday = desserted. Just lines on the ground. I'm pretty happy with that.

So was my dad. apparently.

Then he suggests - "lets go to westfield!" I am less enthusiastic about this. After spending like 3 hours at the car park just listening to him yell "YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT" I really didn't want to spend another minute in the car D: but we went to Westfield anyway.

Which happened to be a very bad idea, because, well, being a beginner reverse parker, I can take 2 minutes trying to park (WHICH IS AGES D: he even timed me ==; ). And there was this ANNOYING SOB in a 4wd just behind us ALL THE FRICKING TIME. We went round and round the carpark tonnes of times so we could get rid of it (for his own good too!) but he was just always behind.

Until we lost him like 15 minutes later and I had been through the whole carpark 4-5 times, and my dad said "Okay- park here".

So I do my stuff, looking the the rearview mirror, oh there's a car...

...

WTH THAT 4WD AGAIN?! *implodes*

So my dad's like "KSJD:FLKSJDF" and I'm like D:
"LETS GET OUT OF HERE"

And we do...



.. Just to end up in the carpark of Carlo Court. ==;

And I reverse park there- no big deal this time. SO I AM REVERSING, and then I see this green car, and I joked to my dad

"haha I'd be hilarious if it was mum"
D: say hi to your mum
B: lol
Then I turn around and look at the driver of hte green car

O_O WTH. IT WAS MY MUM, but she wasn't looking at me. ;D She was just looking bored =.= (unrelated- I just realised how big grapefruit seeds are. Fricking massive!) I changed gear to adjust the car, and when I turned around, she was gone.

Story of my life. Mother doesn't recognise the car she drives half the time, AND doesn't realise her daughter of 17.5 years is waving at her like a crazy maniac in the other car. D:

SHE WAS LIKE 2 METRES AWAY. D::

Maybe it's just me. I just like watching other people (lol) when they're in their cars (lol) especially during traffic jams.

When I was driving home from Chatswood we got stuck in this MASSIVE jam just before we got to Epping- it was JUST FRICKING MASSIVE. So I just looked at the rear view mirror- and honestly, it's like watching TV without subs (hahaa.. yeaah I love DigitalTVwith subtitles) and wihtout sound. There was this Asian couple in the car behind, and the woman was learning how to drive. They talked and used really crazy hand gestures. Funny thing was, it was all quite friendly etc in the beginning, but then they must have gone on to talk about some kind of touchy subject because they both got angrier and angrier and angrier and they were fully SHOUTING.

So I opened to window to see whether I could catch bits of what they were saying and oh my goodness, they must have had their windows open because it was so loud. ;D

My dad NEVER opens the windows so he was like D:< WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
B: LOL DAD LOOK AT THEM *points to the mirror*
D: WTH. FOCUS ON YOUR DRIVING.
B: We haven't moved for 5 minutes.
D: FOCUS ON YOUR DRIVING. STOP WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE.

5 Minutes or so later, we've moved about 10m down the road, it's still congested. He starts laughing and points out his window and says "look at that man, he's picking his nose".

=.=


NGAARR. Driving is so hard.

Sometimes I really want to kick my dad out of the car. He's so picky.

AND ALSO he doesn't count my "learning hours" so it gay. I drove so much today but he only counted 2 hours and 10 mins of it.

I AM NEVER GOING TO GET MY Ps.

WHEN I DO, I WILL SERIOUSLY BE THE BEST P PLATER ON THE ROADS. (I will also probably be like 25 or something D: )


Digressing,

I've decided that perhaps a cadetship is not as beneficial than I first though and perhaps I should just go for a comm/arts degree.

Why arts? Media? I'd like to study media for a year before I go for things like Law.

:) YES, HOW AMBITIOUS OF ME. Comm/Law in 2nd year. Howzat? When I graduate in 5 or so years I can say... "I'm a lawyer" :O and also say "I'm an accountant/economist etc"

My goodness. Thinking about it cheers me up so much. I thought that filling out applications and such would be easy peasy, but I was wrong. I find it hard :/ because I have to think hard about the answers I put in, and then be prepared to let other people judge what I think etc. D: D: My mind is so messed up. Damn those anti-biotics. They aren't working D: WHY AM I GETTING WORSEEEEEE. (and apparently now the doc wants me to take POWDERED ANTIBIOTICS.. swallowing the ginormous pill is bad enough, but DRINKING IT DISSOLVED IN WATER? *cries*)

I hate being sick.

Happy studying everyone. I'll go back to blowing my nose.

Progress

Dear Restaurant City,

After tonight, you will not see me until next Wednesday. Or, if I can make it, until after trials.

I am hoping for the latter.

Because unlike blogging, a session with Restaurant City can suck hours out of my sad life.

I'm sort of famous for my "15 min blogs" because Jason's said so much about it. THEY RANGE OKAY? Sometimes I spend up to 45 mins blogging ==; Like the REALLY really long ones + photos (which are a bitch to upload onto blogger. Only 5 at a time. gayness) + rearranging time.

I'm not OCD like Jero, so I guess that saves some time :)

MY PROGRESS TODAY: thanks to John, I have a new layout and LOOK AT MY POPULARITY.
Hehehehehehehehehehe

Yeah.

After tonight, my postbox will block the door. :

So yeah.

Bosco started Happy Farm today. LOL. Bad move borbor. Shirin keeps stealing my vegetables. T_T; and Bosco sabotaged my farm ! !

Anyway. I might keep happy farm because it take up like. 5 mins each time I play. :) Which is awesome.

SOME MOAR USELESS CHITCHAT:

I am liking John Legend's more "pop" driven album. Haven't heard his older albums. MUST FIND after these exams.

I need to get into study mode. But its hard. Every couple of minutes I have to blow my nose and that sort of disorientates me for quite a bit. And by the end of the day, I have such a huge headache.

+ 2 hours today. Done moar than 20 hours. V happy.

Enough from me today. HAPPY EXAM WEEK YEAR 12s! 9 Exams for me. Such an intimidating list

Ticked off

You know what I really hate?

Bad drivers.

But you know what's worse?

Those who drive without a licence (yes without obtaining one) AND who give others attitude about it when confronted.

Freaking risk to the rest of the drivers. Being a "safe driver" isn't enough. It's bloody illegal.

For Heck's sake, grow the hell up. It's selfish to just say " oh I don't need a licence, laws are stupid" BECAUSE ITS NOT, and someone might freaking die.

I'm a Nazi about this stuff because it matters.

Someday someone kill get caught. Hopefully only punishments will occur, and not someone getting hurt.

Being licenced to drive is a bloody privilege. People like this cheapen our society, downgrading integrity.

What's so hard about rocking up at the nearest RTA and getting your Ls? Faaaarrouuut.

No names please.

Don't want to be sue-able for defamation or something retarded like this.

I want to strangle the person.






Jeez. I'd make such a good nazi mum.

Speaking of mum. WHAT THE HELL?! Asif let your kid do that. D: That's practically saying to police " HEY YOU, UNLICENCED KID DRIVING, AND I'M LETTING HIM, SO FEEL FREE TO BILL ME ANYTIME ".



BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGHHHH.

I am so grumpy now T_T;

If I ever hear about it happening again, I WILL GIVE THAT PERSON SO MUCH SHIT- I AM NOT KIDDING.


(besides. WE HAVE TO DO 120 BLOODY HOURS. That's 120 hours with a grumpy dad beside me. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY. *smashes head against wall*)



On a lighter note. I've done 20 hours now. Goodo. 1/6 of my way through.. Oh with 1 hour night time driving (it's actually 3, but my dad didn't let me count that because I was "learning to reverse park in the dark" nggh)

THINGS THAT MAKE ME DRUEL (hi jason!)

Long weekend driving/eating/outing frenzy

HI EVERYONE. Long time not blog (not actually that long :/ but it feels like it has been a very very very long time.)

I've been quite the facebooker this past fortnight, doing tonnes of quizzes/wasting time etc =.= Atm, completïng a "how sexy is your name?" purely because I looked at Callums score and wondered if I could beat him. :D

ANYWAY. I've been eating alot these hols :) Yay. Visited 85 degrees TWICE in two days. Which is just fabulous.

TODAY'S CAKE HAUL:

Flash was too bright D: damn.

OKay. Just finished the quiz. It's a pretty gay one 8-) I think it depends on the number of letters in your name 8-) Christopher Tang**************************** would do heaps well in that :)

SPEAKING OF GAY (quiz, not topher), MUSICAL- The Merry Widow I watched last night.

Okay. Honestly, I expected this night to not go as well as it did.

First of all, when people asked me "what row are you sitting in" and I replied "DD" they'd be like "HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA THATS THE COUPLES ROW" (with Kris/h, Janet & Jero, Mindy&Gaby). But it wasn't as awkward as everyone made it out to be. You see, I didn't see them AT ALL (except during the interval) and I'm sure the musical was entertaining enough to keep their attention diverted to it. And it wasn't really the couples row. Majority of us sitting there are unattached :/ What lies. Infact, Kris wasn't even in our row (==; that was quite inconvenient). He was sitting behind me and prodded me every 10 mins during the show which was quite bothersome. Krishan Subhaharan, if you ever read this, YOU ARE SO ANNOYING D:<

But going back to the actual musical itself.... I found it WILDLY entertaining. Frances blew me away- A VERY GOOD JOB. Everyone else :/ not bad.

SHI-LING & CABBAGE :D WELL DONE. IT WAS SO FUNNY :D :D :D

I laughed so much during the show- just ask Rohan :)

Though I have to say, HAKEEM STOLE THE SHOW.

IT WAS SO GOOD.

;D

I THINK WE ALL EYEGASMED AT HIS SPECTACULAR DANCING SKILLS :D IT WAS SO GOOD.

---

SO what happened before musical?

Well I drove to Chatswood, which was one of the most PERILOUS courses I've ever driven.

1. WINDY, HILLY, SLOPEY ROAD

2. Pathetic people with "Baby on board" signs stuck on their cars drove at 70K on a 45k road

3. Sister complaining in the backseat made me want to slam on the accelerator and fall off the road, down into the valley of darkness and trees and sleep eternally.

No, it wasn't that bad.

Got beeped once because I was travelling at the CORRECT speed 8-) I understand why road rage exists. Man. I was so freaked out. XD'

First of all, this is not a NORMAL road. It's a MOUNTAIN road. If I veer off to the side, I'll fall off the mountain :( So yeah, I was really creeped out by the fact that I COULD have ended 3 lives with a wrong turn of the steering wheel :( I've always been afraid of these roads, AND I TOTALLY FORGOT THERE WAS A MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US AND CHATSWOOD. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO DRIVING THERE.

Anyway, we got to Chat Chase and I was going to park.

Saw tonnes of Merc & BMW & shiny luxury cars. Felt weird driving a Holden X) D: NOT BELONGING. But at least I knew out of all the cars that could be stolen/broken into, ours would not be one of them (hehe). This thought always makes me feel better. Bahaha.\

Dootdidoot. Spent alot of money at chatswood (damn my working keycard). But it wasn't on clothes. TWAS ON FOOD @ 85 DEGREES CAFE. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. Bought 5 different breads and just ate and ate. mm me loves.

Dad spent the most though. But it wasn't for himself. He just bought some elasticy thingy to stretch his arms :/ some thing his physio recommended. He bought a jumper for my sister (she's been whinging about it for ages)

K: I WANT A JUMPER FROM COTTON ON

M: YOu already have one..

K: I WANT ONE FROM COTTON ON

B: ... dude you already have one

K: WELL YOU HAVE ONE!!

B: : WOAAAH, I BOUGHT THIS (with my keycard ==;;;;;;;;;; )

K: I WANT ONE

D: FINE (now shuddup)

SO she got one. 8-) I should use her whingey methods to get stuff I want.

Digressing,

Delving into the past now. My dad is very vain. And I guess part of that is reflected in me :D

Yesterday we bought a CK one Summer (which I think is unisex :O) eau de toilette. Little luxuries that make my day. Bahaha. I guess we can share it. So refreshing.

Initially we entered the shop looking for the Marc Jacobs Daisy line :/ but I decided against it ($120 - Actually should have got it).

So yeah. This is my secret love. THE BOTTLES ARE SO AWESOME. I swear, next time I get on a plane, I'll spend heaps on those small perfume samples that come in the mini bottles. :O They're so cute and they are shaped so nicely.

Dumdidum. Moving on.

This morning, I got kicked out of bed, being told I was supposed to drive everyone to Cabra for pho.

SO I did. And it was fun.

I love how the limit was 70 for the majority of the trip. Funderful. I love driving fast. THERE WAS THIS DOUCHE (I used this word too much :( Used it last night and it turned heads) who changed lanes RIGHT INFRONT OF ME without indicated and left it way way way too late. : Gayness. I hate drivers who don't obey the rules.

After pho, dad drove home and i thought (i) ! LETS GO TO CITY , 85 DEG FOR CAKE.

DAD: BD YES LETS

KELLY: YAY

SO I drove ot the city and I got us cake. yum.

Then bought some GARN SURY ZHONG. (that zhong zi stuff- sweet kind. with red bean mm) @ $4 each D: WHEN DID THINGS LIKE THIS BECOME SO EXPENSIVE! Bought from St Honours on Sussex St. LOVE it. Yummy.

==; I love food.

I also love those old HK action movies. Bahaha the fake thrilling music (violins playing the same short notes for ages) Dad's watching one atm, and my eyes just drift from my screen to his, it's so amusing.

Atm, this triad guy (it's always about the triads ehh. bahaha awesome) is trying to look for his gf who is a prostitute (it's always a prostitute gf) who is about to get raped by the triad boss dude. He's so weak he can't break down the door after 15 or so tries. ;D After the long time we have to wait for him to break the door down, he proceeds to kill the triad leader dude. :O THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MOVIES WITH TRIADS. THERES ALWAYS SO MUCH BLOOD AND KILLING in such an awesome fashion. I love it. And the nicknames in these movies. There's a guy called "marn tou" which is like.. the steamed sweet bun 8-) But yeah. Triad men + women. I should create a tag for this. I seem to talk about it alot. hehe.

OTHER THINGS I LOVE:

Clouds

Looked better in real life.

Kelly's falling asleep

==;

Awfully boring post, sorry everyone. I feel very sleepy at the moment. Feeling very full from cake- very content :)

OH OH VISIT ANDREA :D :D

I never knew she had a blog :)

ANYWAY. Confirming what I've said in some of my previous blogs, I'll be moving to wordpress in uni, after I find a good layout 8-) My currently blog has a very nice personal feel to it, and it's very handy but I love the sophisticated feel that comes with Wordpress.

So yeah.

Have a happy MONDAY everyone. School resumes on Tuesday :( ECO & BIO due :( :(

Remember these?

I'd like to hit off this blog with something that most of you should be able to connect with.

I HOPE YOU ALL REMEMBER THE RAGGY DOLLS. I used to love watching this. They had weird voices though.

Can anyone think of anymore? These cartoons were on early in the morning on ABC Saturday I think. I learned to operate the tv as soon as I learnt to walk (said my parents). I love cartoons.

OTHER MEMORIES: 2007 annual :D

Shaving something crude into his head

$600 hair. I wish my hair was worth that much... I have to PAY someone else to take my hair damnit. ;D

JOHN

lol BOBBY

Okay. I am exhausted.

Drove an hour today. I was super relaxed and drove really well today :D

Plus it's night time 8)

Woo.

Weekend plans: do hw. More driving. :)

pandemonium

So I was out on the road with alot of inconsiderate drivers again today.

Plus an angry man with a short temper was sitting infront of me.

After 30 mins I felt like I had enough of driving. SERIOUSLY. INCIDENTS INCLUDE:

I'm travelling at 35km/h (yeah my dad wont let me go over that now....) we're approaching a T-junction and from my POV it looks like this :

OOH Theres a misstake in the 2nd pic. I forgot to finish typing . XD his blinkers WEREN'T ON. *fumes*

He has a stupid rear spoiler. D:

GOSH I HATE THOSE PEOPLE.

In this picture, I am again in the red car. I was going around the roundabout NICELY and then some jerk behind me on a motorbike speeds through my blindspot, SWERVING INFRONT OF ME causing me to BRAKE VERY QUICKY (lurch forward etc). D:

man such a bad driving day today.

OH ALSO! The guy on the motorbike was in BOXERS and SINGLET and NO HELMET.... His bum crack was showing. My dad and I were totally AGHAST. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR LICENCES D:

It's not fair. It's dangerous. It's SCARY.

=_____=;

goodnight all. I'm going to watch BONES .. watching BAD PEOPLE get what they deserve. Freaking awesome show :)

p.s. USYD + UNSW TOMORROW!

photoshop fun

So in the end I didn't sleep until around 7am this morning.

I didn't know the sun was up and when I saw it I was totally gobsmacked. I switched off the powerboard which had all my computer plugs plugged into it, without going through Start and Shut down. I was in a hurry to go to bed =_=;

Anyway. Woke up to the sound of the phone ringing at 11.26am. Didn't keep sleeping after that. I mucked around abit. On photoshop :D

Final product. I love my connector textas. :) Not too happy about hte beige font though =/ It looks odd D: Used this pic in the header of my other blog :)

Drove another hour today. I think I did pretty well in terms of concentration on max 5 hours of sleep. Tomorrow I should be going through 3 point turns. I don't want to though D: My dad also said something about 90 deg parking. Today, we focussed on ROUNDABOUTS. Which are harder than I ever imagined and mastered that pretty well by the end of the hour.

My newest pet peeves involve people driving who:

- don't indicate (:SLDKJF),

- who don't give way when they're supposed to

- WHO BARGE INFRONT OF YOU (overtake)

Honestly, why would you want to scare the living hell out of a Learner driver within 20 metres of a roundabout by overtaking.. WITHOUT INDICATING and swerving so badly D:

I would have used the horn, if my hands weren't gripped so tightly on the steering wheel D:

Not much to say today. I'm just very spooked out by that stupid careless fully licenced driver. I'm also very spooked out by the fact that I almost ran over a bird today when I was driving at 40km/h.

My dad won't let me drive at 50... and he starts flaming me when the speed needle is getting closer to the number 40. =___=;

Anyone know of any official "Learner's Zones" close by?

SUCCESS SUCCESS!

HOW IRONIC!

Last post was talk about failure, however, in this post, I shall share with you all, the news of my HAPPY HAPPY TODAY.

I HAVE MY LS NOW.

*does a happy dance*

I DROVE AN HOUR TODAY

*does a happy dance*

I CAN DRIIIIIIIIIIVE

*does a happy dance*

IM SO HAPPY. I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYTHING. MY PHOTO IS NOT TOTALLY ATROCIOUS.

*does a happy dance* x 2

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

PLUS. Bakefest yesterday was a total success too. Except Cheryl and Drew weren't too keen on having their photos taken T_T; So I don't have a BAKERS ASSOCIATION PHOTO!

But that's okay. the CAKES WE BAKED were yummy.

I SHALL SHARE! (the recipe) :P

White Chocolate and Macadamia Muffins

INGREDIENTS:
- 300g self-raising flour
- 150g caster sugar
- 140g white Choc Bits
- 75g coarsley chopped macadamias, toasted
- 60g butter, melted
- 180ml milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

METHOD: (teehee prac)
1. Preheat oven to moderately hot (I'd say around 180 degrees). Grease six-hole texas muffin pan (They're the really deep ones. So if you have the normal cupcake tray, it will fill 12!)
2. Sift flour and sugar into large bowl; stir in remaining ingredients. Divide mixture among holes of prepared pan.
3. Bake muffins in moderately hot oven (180 degrees) about 20 minsutes. Stand muffins in pan for a few minutes before turning onto wire rack.

Serves 6- huge muffins, 12- normal sized cupcakes.

[[Recipe from the Woman's Weekly HomeBaked recipe book!]]

YAYERS!

Can't find the Butterfly cake recipe at the moment. I shall leave that for another day. Unfortunately, I was cleaning last night, and put my camera in a very safe place. So safe, I've forgotten where I placed it. So yeah, no photos to post.

Mum's leaving tomorrow :( Dad's on the phone atm trying to defer her flight back to Syd, so she can spend more than 5 nights in HK (= more shopping!

BUT YAY. Ls!
