Okay HI EVERYONE.
Saw a few people at school today. Yes I was at school today.
How refreshing to see faces that didn't belong to my family :)
Anyway, today's post was inspired by a photo I found online. And I'd like to use that to stress HOW SMALL A CYBERWORLD WE LIVE IN.
So everyday (no matter how busy I am) I surf around blogosphere searching for fun things- such as really good sales (not that I ever buy anything, but you know, just surveying what's around) AND THEN I FOUND A PICTURE OF SANDY'S SISTER ON HER FRIENDS BLOG.
Yes. And I know where she lives now. (suburb of course. I didn't pry that deep) Bahaha, but now I know all the names of the people in the photo and what school & grade they are from, and obviously I have a rough estimate of their ages.
SO WOAAH. :) Kids like me, endanger all the kids around me. :(
Sorry all.
I'll try to be less open from now on :/ and perhaps mention less names on my blog. And next year when I move onto Wordpress, I'll delete everything here (though I'm sure bits of it will still linger in cyberspace- people have pasted my blog link on their pages, or sometimes even used my pictures. D: so yeah. ==; I'll try to get everything organised and privatised in the holidays, and afterwards I'll touch up my wordpress- bahaha no WP battle thanks Joseph) YEAH.
After exams, I looked in my bag and couldn't find my keys so I was like D: and Alice had my phone, and she went home D: So I decided to walk to the closest shopping centre (lol) to look for my mum. She was there and made me run a few errands, including sampling some liquid foundation for her D:
I can safely say here, that I despise make up, no matter how beautiful you can become after the nasty process of sampling and slopping greasy mess all over your face and neck.
What I did was take samples from each of the colours and smear a bit on the inner side of my arm and compare the similar colours between the different brands.
I smell like foundation now. *shudder* It's so gross.
Digressing slightly, I purchased something for myself, called Hair Moisturing Cream. Sounds retarded but my cousin swore by it and said it was a super great thing for super messy/unmanageable hair. Comes in a 200mL bottle, and smells great, like all other Garnier products (I don't like their shampoos/conditioners though D: )
Post HSC I really need to get a job to support my food hobbies.
Honestly, everyday I spend a disgusting amount of money on food. It's really quite sad watching all this cash flow out of my wallet at such a rapid speed. I miss it now :/ but at the time, that molten lava cake looked worth it.
I guess it was worth it :/
SEE?! This is why I'm obsessed with money. Well not obsessed, but I aim to FIND LOTS OF IT (I mean, earn) So I can do what I like with it, such as sampling delectable desserts.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO HIGH TEA.
At the end of the term, I'm going to call up a few hotels and ask them about desserts etc. Whichever place has a chocolate fountain with lots and lots of cake, I will go to.
Belle's food adventures.
I am looking forward to that :)
Wooooh. yay for materialism. lol.
2umaths + jap ext speaking tomorrow (btw Chris Au, I don't think I did THAT bad in today's exam. It was easier than I thought it would be and I though I cruised through the spirited away section)
Ladidah. I am in such a good mood right now because of Maccas + okay performance in jap + new product to test out.
And now maths (THANKYOU to Quentin for the "cheat" sheet. It's so nice and neat and all typed up !) , :) which I sort of like now XD
SPEAKING HOWEVER.... ==; grawr.
OFF TO STUDY NOW. :) HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK. I still have tonnes of exams next week ==; TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR SALES. OKAY?!
Take care and don't get sick :)

Dessert
Man. I want a DSLR. So I can do this in my free time. CLICKY
IWANNAGODESSERTBUFFET
After HSC.
Who wants in?
I've heard they have it at Swissotel, Sheraton, Shangrila.. or something.
I think they call it "high tea" at the swissotel.
I WANT TO GOOO.
I've also heard it ranges between $15-$25
anyone know anything? :D
Actually, I've decided. From now on, I'll stalk hotel restaurant special offers. And post something worthwhile when it comes up.
JUNE: Sheraton Hotel- The Corn Exchange, a seafood buffet restaurant is giving everyone 50% off for their second visit to the buffet during this month.
When I first read it, I thought it meant buy one get one free (don't ask me how I came to that conclusion) so I was super hyped up and almost told my parents about it ==;
:( I want to high tea.

Miscellaneous Dandy
WHAT I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW
- Cabramatta
I LOVE this place. It's full of FOOD. Meat, bread, pastry, fruit, PHO! My goodness. It's freaking awesome. When I was a kid, we went to Cabra every week for PHO (PHO BAY FTW :) and we'd buy fruit- because honestly, where else would you find durian and dragon fruit every week of the year :) and awesomely super ripe sugar bananas. Damn I love this place. Smells of overripe fruit (over ripe.. not rotten :D). I often say "I LOVE CABRA" and people are like.. woooahh. e.g.
B: :D I ATE PHO TODAY.
X: WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO EAT PHO
B: Why Cabra of course!
X: WHAT?! BUT THAT PLACE IS FULL OF GANGSTERS & DRUGS
PSH. GO SUCK A FART OR WHATEVER DOOG WOULD SAY.
Honestly, finding good pho > badass gangsters.
Besides, the gangsters only pop up at night. ALL the times I've been in Cabra I've seen 2 bad things happen. One was some random guy running through the streets and a couple of guys chasing him- pick pocket I think. And um the other one was just a bad driver who decided to decorate another car with plenty of scratches. BUT THAT'S IT.
My dad says he's seen drugs, but oh boo hoo. I've seen drug deals been done in the bathroom of sussex centre and also in Manly (question is: why bathrooms? no sec cameras?)
Nothing bad has ever happened to me in Cabra.
X: I'm too scared to go to Cabra. I might get mugged.
B: Sucks to be you :) (you paranoid little squirt)
- 85 Degrees
HELLO?! EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE THIS PLACE. At the mo, I've tried the majority of the cakes, still exploring the breads and I haven't touched the coffees/teas. But that's only because I don't drink coffee (D: KEEPS ME UP SO LATE) or tea (except during yumcha). Man. Their cake range is just amazing. Their cheesecakes are amazing. My goodness. If you are a fan of TANGY, SHARP, natural strawberry flavours (and yoghurt) I suggest you try the STRAWBERRY CARDINA :) It's so fab. I love it.
The flavour it so vibrant and it made me go O_O! Hehe. It tastes of cheefulness and will make one feel content upon finishing (if not begging for moaaar). Strawberry tiramisu is also good, however it's more on the sweet side.
BREAD: MELON BREAD. The gay thing about 85 deg in the city is that THEY HAVE NO BREAD. Which is depressing. I think I like the bread more than the cake (but not the Strawberry Cardina). Basically Melon Bread is the ginormous version of a Pineapple bun (bor lor bao) you might find at some normal asian bakery. Chris Au knows how much I love this stuff. It's SO much fluffier & sweeter than normal pineapple buns (though the ones at St Honours are pretty good. Hehe Eddy. I love that place. They MASS make bread- bought another shop across the corridor because they didn't have enough room to put their machines!). I tried a few different t ypes of bread on Saturday afternoon. The black one. Bahaha. Of all the time I walked into the cafe, I never, NEVER EVER picked the black bread, because it looked so intimidating. BLACK! But I bought it yesterday and by golly gosh, it's so flavoursome. DOES NOT TASTE BURNT AT ALL. It's quite garlicky.
(Furry toe: I know what I'm picky about now. herbs.)
I DISLIKE EATING GARLIC. WHENEVER I EAT IT I FEEL LIKE IT STAYS IN MY SYSTEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. Say for a week or so? I feel l ike I can smell it everywhere I go D: So I never eat it XD
However, this did not happen with the Calamari bread (the black bread). I am quite glad. It was really soft as well :D:D
I also tried the rose/cheese bread. Didn't eat this until today , and my gosh, it's quite awesome. Especially for those who love cream cheese. Basically its a sweet bun with a layer or very very light rose-flavoured bread (I say very light because I couldn't taste it but I could see the pinky colour in the bread, and I could smell it abit) and a wad of cream cheese in the middle.
The flavour is simply GORGEOUS. If I were a piece of toast, I'd marry this and have beautiful cream cheese babies. Awesome.
Also tried another bun but I forgot what it was called. It had some seeds on the top.. and that was it. Quite plain, but I liked it. Ate it during musical. I didn't stop eating during musical. Bahaha!
There was also this thick toasty thing. My sister loved this, but I thought we got jipped. Basically white loaf of bread that has been dosed with a honey-like substance and baked till brown + butter. But she liked it so I guess it's worth it :) It's just like thick toast. Very soft on the inside.
DIGRESSING FROM THIS SUBJECT OF WHAT I LOVE,
I finally found the cafe that sells the cake I got as a gift once. Remember back in the days I was employed as a student tutor, one student's parents showered me with gifts of fruit, korean junk food and cake? I fell inlove with the cake and posted it on this blog someplace. The box said "Pattison's Patisserie Fine Bakery" and I was puzzled because I had never heard of the place. Because I'm retarded and slow, it never occurred to me to search the place up on google ==; BUT I FINALLY FOUND THE PLACE - no google, no cheating. It's in Chatswood! ITS SUCH A FINE CAFE. Unfortunately I was in a rush to get back to the hole, Carlingford to watch the school musical, otherwise I would have sat down to eat a slice of whatever the cake of the day was + a hot chocolate or something. *-*
However I believe that cake triggered some sort of allergic reaction.
Completely worth it though. OH I FOUND THE PICS
***
I have this unhealthy obsession with chocolate, cream and coke.
Whenever we have whipped cream (the one that comes in the aerosol can) I always spray heaps into my mug of Milo or something and sprinkle cocoa on top and eat it *yum* When I eat up all the cream, I repeat the same process until I remember I have to leave some for other people.
When someone opens a pack of chocolate I just eat and eat and eat. I'm sure many of you have this problem too, so I don't need to explain myself. I am aware of my problem with chocolate. And I am also aware that I once I start I can't stop. So i try not to start :)
Coke. UNHEALTHY. TOTALLY DISGUSTINGLY UNHEALTHY, but I love it anyway. I am in no way healthy at all. Infact, I despise healthy. The green & orangeness of various vegetables makes me sick. I gorge on browns, yellows and more browns. lol. D: WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE DIARRHOEA?!
I love coke so much I can tell the difference between Coca-Cola and gay no frills coke. At har mm cha *arvo tea restaurants, I always order lemon coke (basically coke + 3-6 slices of lemons, lemons are as healthy as I get) and I HATE IT WHEN THOSE EVIL PEOPLE BEHIND THE COUNTER FEED ME NO FRILLS COKE INSTEAD OF COCA COLA. It tastes so cheap.
But I still order it, because I'm hooked. ==;
Speaking of hooked, when I was a kid (dayum I say this alot.) I used to be hooked on JELLY TOTS. In Parra Westfield, they used to have a Copenhaagen on the 5th floor (i think :/ I don't remember being able to read back then . bahaha) and it was located in the middle, where you can walk all around the shop. At the back, there'd be THREE dispensers. One would have nuts in it, the other chocolate sprinkes and the last one, jelly tots.
My mum RARELY ever bought me a cone, so I would never get the chance to play with the dispensers and eat the jelly tots. HOWEVER, there was this megahugeass metal plate thing that caught all the jellytots/nuts/chocolate sprinkles when they missed the cones. I would always, ALWAYS pick up all the little jelly tot pieces that may have missed the cone :) Yum.
Now that I can afford it, I can't find shops that sell jelly tots. :( Btw, jelly tots are like mini jubes, but better. Because of the surface area ratio thingo. more sugar :D
I also love the Allens strawberries and cream and no frills milk bottles :D
I love milk bottles. Bahaha. And No Frills makes them extra sweet :)
THINGS TO DO THIS YEAR
- Find Jelly Tots
- Go to Guylian Cafe
- Go to Lindt Cafe
- Go to Pattison's Patisserie
- Finish exploring the cake & bread range @ 85 Degrees
- (maybe not this year but) buy a DSLR to take high quality photos of people and my most beloved food.
- Find a job after HSC to support my expensive (but very satisfying hobby).
Geebus.
This post has been ALL ABOUT FOOD D: I FEEL LIKE SUCH A GREEDY LITTLE PIG.
But guess what...
IT FEELS WAY GOOD!

Lobster fun
I ate a lobster today.
It's body was bigger than my face.
And we all know lobsters have heads bigger than their bodies.
Anyway. It was still moving when it was presented to us on the table. And I prodded it and moved its legs to see what reaction it would have (I actually regret it now. It must have been in so much pain)... :(
On the way home, I had to stop the car, stick head out the car door and puke into a plastic bag.
Sorry lobster. I'm sorry we had to eat your raw.
My sister can't take the picture we took of it out of her phone at the moment.
So this will be a short pictureless blog. :( I feel guilty for prodding/eating the pained lobster. I now understand why people refuse to eat meat. However it still doesn't explain vegan-ism.
:( Feeling super sick. But I will be at school.
Musical this week. Muchos exciting :D
Good luck cabbage. I'm sure you look dashing in your costume.
I loled at Joseph's latest post about the ways Kiwis pronounce words.
It's great.
Keep up the good work.
This ends today's post.
Have a good week everyone.
P.S. I've driven so much this weekend. Reached 78km/h. It was mad.

BAH BAH BLACK BEEF
Vanessa's little puppy is the cutest. I didn't want to take any photos because I was afraid I might blind the dog with my camera's double flash.
I don't know whether that's a myth or fact.. There are always these self righteous people that appear on random blogs saying "YOU ARE SO CRUEL TO YOUR DOG, YOU ARE BLINDING BLAH BLAH BLAH". On the other hand, people who take photos of their dogs with the flash on say "It's just as harmful to dogs as it is to humans". And I have no idea who to believe. So I just didn't take any, just incase.
SHE WAS CALLED WILLICUS. ;D Great work Vanessa (tall).
Yeah. Fun times. Was at the computer for most of the time, digging into the past, our infamous internet adventures of a particular friend ;) I shan't say here, it would ruin the surprise. Details later if anyone reminds me. Those who have been following me since year 8 (no one I guess :P) would have an idea of what I may be talking about.
ANYWAY.
EXCITING STUFF. BECAUSE I'M OFF TO THE EASTERSHOW TOMORROW.
This is something we do every year. No matter HOW expensive, HOW rainy and HOW busy we are, we always make time for this :D ACCORDING TO BORBOR, showbag costs will be reduced, so I now feel inclined to buy one (hehe. Jason's theory about women and buying discounted items is correct I'm afraid )
SPEAKING OF BORBOR, HE HAS A BLOG EVERYONE.
CAVERN OF CROUTONS
Please visit, or something.. and witness the cynical man perform his magic.
ANYWAY. MY MOTHER JUST BARGED IN ON ME BLABBERING ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT, so I totally lost my train of thought. FAR OUT.
My dad basically lives in my room during the day now. And my desk is cluttered with apple cores, lolly wrappers, cups, saucers, bowls and lots and lots of cutlery. SHE COMES IN AND SAYS "SKFJSLKDFJ:SLEIJSLEKFJ CUTLERY KJS:DLKFJS:DF SO MUCH STUFF SKFJ:SLK"
Well. I'm sorry. I'm sorry dad comes in here so often this place is a pigsty. I ALREADY CLEARED MY DESK THIS MORNING BEFORE I LEFT, AND IT WAS SPOTLESS. Far out. All the stuff is in a plastic bag anyway. Freaking naggy mothers. T_T;
Since I am in the mood for ranting, my sister stole my mouse. Yes, CC if you're still reading this freaking blog page. I'm going to bitch about my little sister again, because she is a pain. And if I do not release out all the crap on her here, WHO KNOW what I may do to her.
She took my mouse, and left some BALLED MOUSE THAT HAD NO BALL IN IT on my desk. What the truck? She's sitting on the floor with a laptop in her lap.. + mouse? WHAT THE HELL. I've been using that mouse for over 5 years. LKJSDF:LSKDFJ BAH. Yes, It's petty, so whatever, I'm just pissed off.
Why does everyone leave crap on my desk.
At the moment, I see 2 Kopiko wrappers, 2 empty juice cartons, some shredded paper, A TOOTHPICK ?! on my table even though I cleaned it before dinner. =_=;
Speaking o f dinner, I cooked dinner last night. My sister didn't have any. Afterwards she complains about being hungry. WELL NUHHH. So what does she do? She takes my breakfast for the next morning out of the freezer (mantou..) and eats all of it. The next morning I don't find my food. There's not time to fix up anything else, so I go without. What the hell man. She doesn't do anything at home at all. No dishes, no cooking. She just takes what she can and calls it hers. Like my mouse is now "her mouse".
I'm so fed up with her. I'm so fed up with her lies, her manipulation of my parents and her big loud voice.
I hate cleaning up. T_T: I have to clean up after everyone in the house. WHY DID I HAVE TO BECOME SUCH A NEAT FREAK DURING THE HOLIDAYS. kjf;lsdkfjslkd
<./rant>
The more I think about it, the more fired up I get. Icecream really does distract me alot and makes me temporarily forget about my hates etc. Yeah. But there's no ice cream in the fridge. Why? BECAUSE FREAKING KELLY ATE IT ALL. LIKE THE WHOLE FREAKING TUB. THAT WE ONLY BOUGHT ON FREAKING SATURDAY. NO ONE ELSE HAD A SINGLE SPOONFUL. Not only that- but she also finished A WHOLE TRAY OF MANTOU. AND THE WHOLE LITRE OF JUICE. And the whole punnet of strawberries =_=;
Talk about being inconsiderate.
The strawberries were supposed to be for the cake I made for Vanessa's.
I hate how Kelly doesn't ask, she thinks she's entitled to everything.
Freaking Brat.

LAVA CAKE VERSION 2
Chris was mentioning FOODWISHES.blogspot.com to me before, and I thought it had been ages since I've visited that LOVELYLOVELY blog. and oh my gosh. I FOUND THE SEQUEL TO THE FIRST LAVA CAKE VIDEO.

WHY DID I NOT EVEN TAKE A STALKER PIC. DAMNIT.
- took a retarded photo standing next to a guy wearing springs on his shoes. LOL. :D and he was wearing aviator goggles.
- I'm mentioning this again. ATE A FREAKING 32 CM CONE. IT WAS SO FREAKING DELISH. I LOVE IT.

Whipped my camera out of my bag to catch this (before one of the rainbow lorrikeets in the tree i was standing under started pooing)

STUDY WEEKEND
THEN after bio, I decided to fix up my 3u, adding a paradigm and exploring my points a bit more. MANY THANKS to Richard who was very nice and explained a couple of things to do with global expansion and post modernism to me- I understand the topic almost fully now. After that, I decided to go on with 2u Eng. This only happened at 10pm, and unfortunately, I have to change the themes I explore because my themes are to CLUNKY, congealed together… disgusting. I’m changing it to one we’ve talked about in class a lot. Strangely I find I have more problems talking about Frankenstein than Blade Runner, but I guess that’s because I’ve read up a lot more on Blade Runner. Rick Deckard IS a replicant J Ridley Scott determined that :D I still have no idea what film I’m going to use for my speech/vis rep.
I can’t remember essays. Not fair. When I cram, I either get mental blanks during the exam (last term’s 2u ==;;) OR I mix up sentences/points/quotes. So all I’m going to do is memorise my ideas, quotes and techniques… and the order. J
For economics- HA! I’m so screwed. Yesterday evening, I was going to study eco, except my dad took up all my eco study space with some notes on the wall and he was watching a movie and wouldn’t budge (seriously, what kind of dad does that!) so I moved into the dining room with my bio stuff and filled up the whole table with my notes. I’m handwriting everything. J Which is good, I guess.
IF ONLY I COULD USE THIS BLOG AS MY MAJOR WORK. It would focus on the human condition. Oh, the joys, lows and hysteria of a teenaged girl living in a society where people still bother to read about what happens in her daily happenings. Speaking of that, Richard was commenting yesterday about how he couldn’t believe people would blog about what happens in their lives. He sees them (I/we) as exposing ourselves to the world outside. :O I guess it is a bit daunting when you listen to him warning you about the dangers of exposing yourself to a world you don’t know.
Anyway, I don’t think I have that much to say today, apart from “I HATE OVER ANALYSING TEXTS THAT ARE ENJOYABLE TO READ”. D: Really. It puts me off so much. Oh I just remembered. Last night I wasn’t studying full-time. I was half watching “The Holiday” with Jack Black, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Winslet. I wished I had paid more attention to it as it was quite a sweet movie that I would have really enjoyed if I listened properly. I actually took a photo of a review on this movie years ago when I visited the records library at C. Quay.
BEST OF LUCK FOR EXAMS EVERYONE. STUDY HARD AND DON’T GIVE UP. IF YOU FEEL BURNT OUT, RELAX AND EAT AND COME BACK AND STUDY. IF YOU FEEL TIRED, SLEEP AND GET SOMEONE TO WAKE YOU UP IN LESS THAN 40 MINUTES. That’s what they call a power nap!

FUNFUNFUN- the three fo us
Today was an awesome day.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS FOR WHAT HAPPENED TODAY:
1. Woke at 5.17am because some stupid curry dude called asking for my mum ... WTH?! ( I think I've already complained about him enough to lot of people today . haha)
2. Woke properly at 9am to get ready for work
3. 10-11am work
4. MSN FOR ABIT :) also blogged I think..
5. Went to officeworks and splurged on stationary. Okay, not really. I just spent $16.45 :) and 20c on a plastic bag.
6. Parked the car in Ultimo, and started our trek towards Circular Quay.
7. We wanted to go to "Gum Bow" = Golden Harbour or something. It's a small Chinese diner that serves Western stuff. normally we don't go there, because my mum doesn't think having a pricey lunch too often is good for us... But we got there, we saw that the WHOLE ENTIRE BUILDING next to Sussex Centre was KNOCKED DOWN?!?!?!?! WHAT THE?! So we had 2 congees + a braised beef rice vermicelli thingy. One for dad, one for Kelly and one for me :)
8. After that, my dad says "Let's take sticker photos". Seriously, Kelly and I have been bugging him for AGES.. and he used to say no all the time. We didn't believe him, until we were standing inside the photo booth rummaging in our bags looking for 8 X $1 coins. Haha. So we took sticker photos... :D:D:D such awesome fun. 9. So we voyaged along George Street window shopping, until we came to the Apple Shop. HAHA! I WAS SO EXCITED I DASHED ACROSS THE ROAD (according to Kelly, I pulled her across the road. *blank look* Seriously.. I have no recollection of that. I must have been too ..umm. hypnotised by all those macbooks open.. standing free for use...) ANYWAY I had the bright idea of taking photos on photobooth and sending them overseas to my mummy who's currently in HK. :) HAHA THEY ARE SO HILARIOUS. MY DAD JOINED IN. There are a couple of serious ones we took for relatives to see. But the rest are hilarious. We were cracking up in the store. Seriously disturbing other customers - eg Kelly laughed so hard she hit the woman next to her. But of course, that's not our fault... it's Apple's fault for placing the laptops too close to each other *humdidum*.

new year's lunch
Righteo. So this morning when I woke at 11.59 my dad told my sister and I we had to be in Bonnyrigg by 1lpm.
Why?
New Year's party with the EXTENDED FAMILY!
No photos :( Mum's got the camera :( And my phone died; it's been dead since Presentation night :(
Yes, so another hectic day with my crazy hyperspastic nieces and nephews.. THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT:
- Jacinta/Jasmine (I have NO IDEA why she has two names)
- Vincent (Jacinta's brother)
- Monique
- Joshua (Monique's brother)
- Ryan
- Laura (Ryan's sister)
Jacinta and Vincent weren't there for the first hour or so, and the house was sort of peaceful. Yeaah, and then their car pulled up in the driveway, and we all knew havoc would arise. =__=;
Vincent screams so loudly! My ears are still ringing.
ANYWAY. I have had the LARGEST meal I've ever had. Honestly, there were SO MANY PLATES that their huge 8 seater dining set table couldn't hold all the plates, so they had to bring in another table.
In total, there were 23 dishes that were between A4-A3 sized. HUGE.
There was crab, fish, oysters, scallops, pork, beef, seaweed, seaGRASS!, superspicy stuff that I didn't touch, non-spicy looking spicy stuff that deceived me... *gag* tofu, weird asian vegetables... noodles, rice, duck, chicken, some kind of pig organ.. I swear I saw pasta, yeah okay, I'm too full to think.
After over and hour spent at the dinner table, the kids pulled my sister and I into the play room and we mucked around. And my favourite game would have to be - Tickle the kids. Because they dont kick, punch or pinch when you tickle them. They squirm and squeal and laugh alot... which is cute :)
Maaan. Those kids wear me out. I'm so sleepy atm. Refused Ricky's red bull though :) That stuff is terrible.
For once in a very long time, I had a good hair day.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Oh joyous occassion. I shall celebrate with sleep. TONIGHT I WILL GO TO BED BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
Righteo.
ATM I'm organising KAYAKING. Those who want to come, I'm thinking it should be on the 15th January. The plan is like this:
PLAN
1. KAYAKING
2. NEARBY BEACH (PICNIC)
3. GO HOME
Like my plan? Want to go?
Msn me :) I should be sending out an email some time soon...
yeaah . That's it for now. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF 09. Hope it was all good.
LETS SHINE IN 09 :)
Lets shine in the fine 09?
09 is mine?
YEAAAH. i should go :P

I HAVE MY LS NOW.

I DROVE AN HOUR TODAY
*does a happy dance*

*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!

christmas day with the family
with the EXTENDED FAMILY! <- FB PHOTOLINK
My dad's cousin's daughters' kids.
A whole load of them. Technically I'm an aunt many times removed, however we all thought it would be more appropriate for them to call me "jie jie" or Belle :)
They're so cute.
So hectic.
So firstly, in my previous blog I mentioned I only got an hours notice.. we had THAT much time to buy gifts.. on XMAS DAY. So our first location, someplace that will be open everyday except Chinese New Year, Jusco. Yep. And we bought party foods + Gift foods (gift foods are foods you buy that you never end up eating yourself, or foods you normally do not buy to eat for yourself, because you cannot afford to eat it often and are only there for people to buy as "Giftfoods"). Okay I know I sound sort of crazy right now, but I had 2 cans of red bull. So, yeah please excuse my lack of coherence. My eyelidS (yes plural) are twitching.. My brain feels like its pumping. Holy crap. Caffine is KILLING ME.
Far out.
There is a story behind this. I don't normally drink stuff like this... But story later
SO, at Jusco I decided to buy some bribery foods, otherwise known as lollies ! "CAAANDY, SHE HAS CAAAAANDY" bought a whole tin + some funky gum. The kids loved it. THEY ALL FLOCKED AROUND ME. This is one of the advantages of having a job -> buying candy to attract kids. lol.
Last week, when I was in Canberra, my sister had these kids over (THE KIDS DIDN'T REMEMBER ME, FROM THE LAST TIME I BRIBED THEM WITH BALLOON POODLES IN FEBRUARY) so yeah, she had a head start in jogging their memory of her. WHen we got there, all the kids were screaming "KELLY ! KELLY ! KELLY!" and they were really scared of me :(
SO. RICKY, my cousin-onceortwiceremoved-inlaw, dressed up as santa (lol yeaah). Hilarious. Photos are on facebook.
OH! My dad recently had a blood test check up, and we found out that he has super high sugar levels. SO PLEASE DON'T FEED HIM STARCH OR ALCOHOL. Today, I had to wrestle cups of alcohol from his hand, and Jessie, one of my cousins was like "Nahh, let him have it, LET him have it" NOOO he had HEAPS yday at the street party . LOADS. LOADS! So I drank some ! The white wine was NICE! :) I love my liquor store owning cousins. lol
BUT ANYWAY.
We got there 30 mins late. After getting lost in Pemulwuy/Nelson's Ridge because.. we have an OLD street directory.. and ALL the streets there are new :( THE HOUSES ARE SO TIGHTLY PACKED TOGETHER. its 90cm between each house.
you could possibly hear SOUNDS from next door... ha.. haa... haaaa *shifty*
So we ended up staying there for lunch, AND dinner. After dinner I was so sleepy. SO tired from looking after the kids, finger painting with them, colouring in, with their super funky textas and their crayola colouring books, taking videos/photos of them screaming and bopping up and down... maniacally. THEY'RE SO FULL OF ENERGY. But I wasnt. So about 9. Ricky saw me nodding off at the dining table, and offered Kelly and I some redbull. Oh man. in the car, Kelly said she had enough, and she gaev me her can.
SO this is why im still very awake after such a tiring day. like 100% awake.
Recently, a friend from primary school contacted me via facebook!!!!!! I seriously hadn't talked to him in ages and WOOOW so many primary school memories have been triggered. So fun talking about the past. 8) I'm glad the past is catching up with me. :)
Hmm. my neck is pulsating.
strongly.
okay. its twitching now.
I'll upload some kiddy screaming vids later. cbb uploading them yet.
Well, hope you all had a good Christmas. I had a great one this year, with my lovely family.
Goodluck with BOXING DAY SALES. Hopefully I'll be awake intime for that. :P

COOKIES
Good Evening my fellow minions,
I have returned. Actually, I returned from biv quite a while ago- I was just trying to regain strength ... err. I've just been really tired. That's all.
TODAY!
There was a teacher's strike. AND sport was cancelled. So, there were a total of 6 people that came to english today. AND we did absolutely nothing.
I have ALOT of pictures... I've uploaded them... but I need to sort through them. I also want to find a new photo hosting site..
Photo from today: Drew and I went to Justins, and we BAKED! Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the finished product...
Look, I know it looks disgusting. But it was nice.
It's called COWBOY COOKIES:
we used:
- wholemeal flour
- cheerios (LOL)
- Raw sugar
- vege oil
- choc chips
- vanilla essence
- baking soda (for a brief moment just then, i was panicking about whether we added the baking soda in.. and then I remembered Drew dumped it in the sieve)
- egg
- AN OVEN TO BAKE IT IN!
And we had LAMB, and cous cous cooked with chicken stock
XD
fun day. then i caught the train home, and YAY bus came early (on time actually) so I got home at around 5.30 :) Pretty cool.

slept late, woke late
tonnes of homework to complete.
plus i need to watch heroes.
maybe i should watch now :)
YESTERDAY:
-work
Mawson, the speedy marker and I managed to finish alot of books. I LOVE MARKING GA. I feel so speedy. Anypoos another girls comes to mark AND SHE CHATS ON THE PHONE FOR SO LONG. So distracting, irritating and inconsiderate. She hogged the GA books. T_T;
Finished marking early, got a break and went downstairs to the 2nd hand bookshop. It is officially my favourite place in that suburb. Saw a wide variety of chick lit, I couldnt choose between a few, so I went back to work empty handed. Well, not really. I stopped by GJ and grabbed a hot choc. :O My boss wants me to privately teach a boy. I REALLY don't want to. +_+; I can feel the stress building up.
NOTE: TO ALL THOSE WHO SIGNED UP FOR THE JOBS. THEY START IN TERM 1. SO DONT WORRY
-after work, went to NSgourmet. I had the usual and SAW REX! AGAIN. I see him there every week!
-after NSgourmet, went home to rouse kelly from her sleep, get mum away from the comp and drove to the city- to go hunting at all the MGs for sam's birthday present.
- had dinner at DANIANG DUMPLINGS. Okay, if you're hungry and up for pork+cabbage dumplings, bad service, waitresses that talk back, this is the place for you. Honestly, it's such a weird place. Firstly, they charge a table fee, and tea fee. No one in Chinatown charges a tea fee for dinner. : Secondly, the waitresses that serve people stand around in a corner and gossip madly, point and giggle at passing customers. When the manager walks around they all disappear. Thirdly, the waitresses talk back. They don't refill teapots. My dad gets very touchy when it comes down to tea. If we pay the tea fee, doesn't it mean we get tea? Yeah, so dad got all loud and grouchy, we got a few looks and stares.. but oh well.
- bought sam's present and played with the MG dancing bear. HAHA so cute!
- went home eating soft serve cones
- went to bed late. doing random stuff. :)
TODAY: nothing happened. so yeah..
oh well Heroes calls to me now *-*
enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!
p.s still haven't bought a new cam yet. :( so i am still superly grief stricken

happy early birthday VANESSA
i ♥ vanessa.
she makes chem/bio/parties very interesting. especially when she's hosting it. couple of friends and i went to her (early) birthday party today. i'll upload some photos. quite memorable.
oh actually i'll start right from the beginning of my day.
this morning i stayed up SO late (or early, which ever floats your boat) FIVE AM watching heroes, scrubs, hannah montana, and family guys. haha so yeah. confucious says sleep late, wake late. so i woke at roughly 3pm today.
when i woke, i watched tv with kelly... some random movie on channel seven about Tom Hanks falling inlove with a mermaid. its was kinda of strange. she called herself Madison, learnt English in one day from watching television, and started peeling at one point (consequence of being away from where she's supposed to be for too long).
then i started getting ready for vanessa's party!
i arrived there just in time to see vanessa unwrap (or cut open) winnie's present. TWO MICEyeah. her mother screamed when she saw them
i played with the mouse. until i felt my hands were moist. THE MOUSE PEED ON ME. and my pants. so i had male mouse territory marker on me. mice pee so much. it stanks. so i ran to vanessa's toilet and dunked my knee into the sink and started washing.

*nggh* at pee mark. can you see it? ewwwwie. *cringe* first thing i did when i came home was peel off my pants and i soaked it in a tub of napisan. must get rid of mouse territory markings. *crycrycry*
unhappiness aside, there was food. LOTS OF IT. haha @ winnie in the background. she looks like she's really attacking her satay chicken stick
and then came the cake! it was very yummy, very chocolatey. winnie claimed her piece was bitter so she spat out a mouthful !!! WHAT A WASTE. i had lots of icecream with mine mmm.
hehe someone looks happy xD
we found a bit of "happy birthday" streamer hanging off the ceiling of the entrance hall. chloe decided to play "artist" and lucy was her subject!
BEAUTIFUL!
ALL IN ALL, i had a fabulous time. even the mouse pee was worth it. for those who want all the photos i took that day, they're all up on my photobucket and facebook! i dont think i'll post on bebo. too many scary people on bebo ==;;
i want to go to the city this friday. and burn some of this cash i've been earning all holidays. i mean whats the point of saving when you dont spend?! haha. no fun.
I might have said this before.. some time ago. but i plan to take a photo EVERYDAY in year 12. and at our farewell assembly, i, belle c***** will have a wonderful photoslide for the whole school to see. should i start the album in facebook? or photobucket? hmm. quandary. i cant make up my mind.
I SHOULD DO SOME WORK/ READ SOME MORE RTA ROAD SAFETY RULES. i should prove to my dad that i know my road-stuff so he'll let me take the LEARNERS test. *sigh* im 17 without a learners license. but to be honest, since ive turned 16, i sometimes get nightmares about carcrashes etc. very, very vivid/gory/sick and that sort of turns me off driving. however the luxury of being able to get from loc A to loc B without waiting for late sydbuses sounds pretty good. esp if its at night :)
I LOVE HEROES!

today's second set of ramblings
yeah so i received feedback from 2 people saying VOODOO all the way :) so yeah.
ty lots suckmylolly i love this dingbat voodoo; kinda cute.
not much happened since my last blog; except i caught up with mister usa via WEBCAM. i dont use webcam often at all. infact it is disconnected and we lost the installation cd when we moved here. if anyone happens to have a speed s4800b webcam + installation disk please shout out ^^ i dont really want to buy another webcam.
however i want another camera. not that there my current camera is unusable. its just an item on my "stuff i really want" list. the model i have is the Digital IXUS IIs
but i've had it since year 7. and it looks very battered (since we went on an church outing to the beach.. and the salt water corroded the metal..)
this camera isnt actually mine. :) belongs to the family, but im the one who uses it the most. i love photos.
my main problem with it is that its just 3.2mp. i mean back then, it was the latest & the best etc. but now there are cameras that reach 12mp. photos that have have a good pixel quality are more fun to fiddle around with on photoshop because its such fine detail. oh also. this camera only has 3 x zoom. taking a picture of someone on stage from the back of the JC hoskin auditorium = epic fail. its epic failure even if you take the pic from the centre of the hall .
i feel hungry.
i love it how people make food into such interesting pieces of art. i love playing with my food. of course i get told off by people like sim at camp when they see me fiddle with the peas or the hardened custard...
i wish it would snow in sydney. for one day :) that would be so rad. i would be decked out in my snow gear and look like this ...
haha. i took that photo looong long ago in shanghai when i discovered my phone had all these cool functions like frames :) and i thought hey, suits todays weather!
yeah ok. how random.
i also discovered this in shanghai
very cute bells. that dude in the security uniform kept glaring at me. i think he thought i was going to take one of those presents =_=; or something stupid like that.
speaking of presents; i have been told that there is MAIL from america. addressed TO ME. :) i dont often get letters. my penpals: hiro, noriko and jere all communicated via email. so yes. mail sounds very very exciting. thank you in advance mr usa. seriously makes up for the lack of activity in this coming holiday.
i made an error in my last post. the soap i was watching is called "days of our lives" as someone kindly pointed out. yeah. mybad :) its superly dramatic and the story line is so twisty + complicated. according to my mum, they use the same characters, so i guess its sort of like neighbours. but i shant talk about that now.
now i have to go to sleep. because in a few hours, i have to have enough energy to teach a little girl WEMG :)
goodbye all & take care
