First day of school 2009

Well, it's my final year of school. After three terms of sitting in classrooms, eating and gossiping I'll be out of school.



D:



Sounds daunting.



Rant of the day. What the hell is with my sister and her fear of the phone. No, actually, she's fine on the phone when talking to her friends... but when it comes to calling up Vodafone to register her phone, she's scared shatless, it's pretty pathetic + annoying to watch. I mean, honestly, she's in YEAR 9 and expects me to do everything for her.



I've done everything myself since ages and ages ago.



This is like her fear of ordering food at counters (E.g. MacDonalds). A few years back, she had this HUGE retarded fear of ordering food and she'd get everyone else to do it. Man, I was ordering food in PRIMARY (haa. what a healthy diet ehh ;) and you still see her knees knocking at the counters. D: D: D:





I am becoming increasingly frustrated at her unwillingness to do anything for herself or anyone and that she expects me to do everything for her. I REFUSE TO CALL VODAFONE FOR HER. I don't even want her to go Voda. Cos Voda's gay. Really. Now I have to pay to call anyone from my family. They've all been converted to Voda. D:



Far out.



I refuse to conform.

Pushing that rant aside, we all got our timetables today. On every Wednesday I have 2 frees. O_O Such a bludge + good day yeah? Except I still play sport. So I bum at school for a couple of hours. ==; There were heaps of timetable problems this morning. Apparently there was a bogus physics class on alot of people's timetables... lol :) Dayae had triple phys. hehe. lucky her ehh ;) Anyway, my timetable listed me as having taken Chemistry and dropped 2 units of english. HOW PREPOSTEROUS. I dropped chemistry MONTHS AND MONTHS ago.



Now that I have everything arranged, I know I have Ext1 morning class, and Jap Ext afternoon class.. and no chemistry. Yay.





It was very strange to see the former year 10s in their white senior shirts. D: WE SHALL DEFINATELY NOT SHARE THE SENIOR COMMON ROOM WITH THEM, AS LAST YEARS DID NOT SHARE WITH US. It is the unspoken rule that every senior + snooping junior must obey ;)



Homework: bio sheets D:



Home = distraction. A term before my trials or something, I'm going to the library to study everyday.



I swear, today when I got home, I ate + watched tv... because the remote was next to wear I was sitting. D:



And just then, I walked past my room, deciding that it was time I should go to bed soon, I walked in and decided to change. :O THEN MY LAPTOP WAS ON. SO I SAT HERE AND LOGGED ON TO MSN.



D: WHEN I REALISED THIS (I was in a sad sad hypnotic trance) I quickly appeared offline... but I started blogging.





:(



This is where it should end ;)



See you all!



P.S. After school, I caught the 3.15 (I could have gone home at 12.30, but prefects had a rehearsal for valentines assembly) bus home.. it was LATE. But anyway, I got on, and I SAW KRIS, SWAMI, JUSTIN, RUILONG and forgive me, I forgot the other person sitting at the back of the bus. Hehe. And I got an invitation to parra or something for dinner. Which I refused. I shouldn't have. I thought my sister was home alone,, BUT SHE WAS PARTAYING FAR FAR AWAY. So i should have gone out for dinner D:



Oh well.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MAWSON and JEN! Hope you guys spend this year doing fun things (HA! HSC :) very fun)

early bird catches the wah?!

It is 3.40am. And I am still awake. Edit: I am STILL AWAKE 4.40 =-=;

There is someone else online. But he's playing Dota. D: Actually I've been on for ages reading a blog I found when browsing through Blogger :) It's VERY different from what I'm used to. Kind of glamourous. Designer brands, clothes.. designer water?!

XD

I walked passed many big name brand stores today. They have heaps around Martin Place. INFACT, I distinctly remember there being a shop called Posh! which sold big brand products. Once I met an auditor from Deloitte. One of his biggest clients is Louis Vuitton. The auditor let it slip loose that the price mark up would be as much as 200% from the manufacturing price. o_o;

Oh yay msn.

*many mins later*

I've never really been into huge designer brands like Gucci/ Louis Vuitton etc... but I guess I'm only 17 :) I don't know how people would be willing to pay over $1,500 for a handbag. Mmm. During the Boxing Day sales, mum and I managed to squeeze past flocks of people in the purse and wallet section of Myer, and we browsed at the selection of leather wallets. The wallet I liked was locked in a glass stand and I was lining up to ask the shop assistant to open it for me. Then this whale of a woman barges infront of me holding two really fug gold woven handbags asking about discounts etc. I was just standing there, gawking at the ugly shiny bag and when I heard the shop assistant ask for $3,XXX I was GOBSMACKED. Seriously, when one is not buying an electronic device or household appliance, how is it possible to spend > $3,000.

All that money... for what? =/ The design? I've definately seen better XD. The quality? I've heard from Topher (haaahaha) designer brands used to be well known for their quality.. but now the quality standards of a normal handbag should be pretty good, yeah? Or maybe people are just more willing to buy the brand name. x) That little golden plate that has whatever brand engraved into it.

Bah, I don't know. I don't own a handbag :) My current carry-around-bag is made of cotton and can fit newspapers and A4 sized books.

D8> I really can't wait until my mum comes back from HK. :) All these goodies.

Digressing, in hindsight, taking sticker photos with my dad was a truly peculiar experience.

Agghhh. My thoughts are all over the place. I'm too exhausted. Almost 4am D: Hopefully my sister won't kick me out of bed at 9am. I don't have work until Tues night. OH speaking of Tuesday- UNIVERSITY OPEN DAYS. UNSW and USYD. I actually plan to go to both :) Only attending the business/commerce lectures. Oh and hopefully seeing what their student council is up to. I love the sandstone buildings in USYD. So pretty. Their website is also much, much prettier/easier to navigate.

Because I have discovered a new CHEAPER sticker photo booth in the city (I shan't disclose on the WWW xD) I will go there on Tuesday and waste another $8 creating memories with special people.

WHAT I HATE: Time limits on sticker photo booths. =__=; Chatting to someone overseas on the phone and it's all crackley and distorted and you have to ask the other person to repeat what they said before... and them ask them to do it again because you didn't hear it the second time.

OOH HK NYE fireworks are quite cool. Fireworks shoot out of the building. I watched it on youtube at the Apple Shop.



woaaah the youtube screen is huge now.

conclusion

But at the end of the day, someone who cares will check up on you and will make you feel less of a toolshed.

This is how I get by everyday, and I am very thankful I have people who care about me.

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.

My room is a blazing furnace

I'm baking in here. This is ridiculous. I've already drawn my heavy duty shun-the-sunshine-curtains and I feel like a piece of roast pork.



I didn't blog yesterday.
Infact, I didn't even hop on the computer last night! I was on a family outing to the city. We used to go out quite often, but in the past recent months I've been quite busy with my affairs, and yesterday after work, I just decided that I should go out with my family!

Coincidentally, the MOTOR SHOW was there at the exhibition centre (i think...) but we didn't go in. It's a shame I totally forgot to bring my camera, because there were some pretty funky looking cars there. Popped into Harbourside and found more cars. Honestly, imo anyone who buys a WHITE sportscar is making a bad choice. The one I saw yesterday was quite fug =/ but that may have just been the model design.

Anypoos, I spend HOURS and HOURS hunting for a good notebook yesterday in all the Morning Glory's and the Chinese (fake) Morning Glory shops I could find. I am very picky. Very, very, very, very, extremely and UTTERLY picky.
- size
-colour
-pattern
-cover quality
-paper thickness
-paper colour
-shape
-texture
ALL VERY important factors I check when deciding which product I choose. Oh- and price. In the end, I settled for two, (because I couldn't decide- not unusual for me) and they're quite simple looking things. One's red, and smallish ; the other is funkily patterened- black, white and red. BUT THIS MORNING!!!! I found out that if I folded the red cover backwards, it looks like a waitress' take-down-order pad. :O

Very cool. Not that I want to be a waitress :)

D'argh! SO HOT IN HERE!

Currently reading: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

My confession: Yes, I copied Justin. I took the book from him once at school and read the foreword (prelude? I forgot the word.. Oh no! and I'm supposed to be doing 4u english.. nggh) and I was hooked. So I went home and started reading. DW I didn't steal his book- I'm wasting my eyes away reading an ebook. Yes. And I'm on the verge of not continuing the story, because the typos in this ebook is appalling. Seriously, whatever happened to dialogue should be a new paragraph etc, etc.

Oh @ Mawson (if you read this =/) to get more hours, you can ask. At the moment she REALLY REALLY desperately NEEDS people/manpower/labour whatever you want to call it. I was working my butt off yesterday with a colleague marking and marking and marking : and then one of us had to take a class because Mrs. Campbell was away :O So yeah, ask... I'll put a word in :) b/c she was asking me yesterday for names of yr 10s.

Bad luck to all those year 10s who don't know me =/ I've been offering jobs to alot of people these few days (I really feel like a salesman) and seriously, TAKE MY OFFER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!! Take the job BEFORE your school cert; because that's when everyone starts applying for the job.

Digressing, I'm proud to say that tomorrow, I will drop chemistry, and officially pick up English Ext 2.

Reasons:
1. I totally dislike the prospect of me, sitting in a chem class taught by Her for the rest of term four
2. I totally like the thought of reshuffling my timetable
3. Extra frees
4. 14 units is too much
5. A FOUR UNIT SUBJECT LOOKS SO GOOD!
6. I've started reading again (and writing)
7. Strangely enough, St Louis has inspired me to take up this extra unit of English
8. Hexagonal shapes attached to C-C-C-H chains really scare me.

So... GOODBYE TO CARBON CHAINS and Hello to long, long reflection statements + 5 frees

There are 3 classes for 4u english, and I was quite shocked to find out I couldn't make ANY of the offline classes :( I talked to Mayers about it, and she said I would have to reshuffle my timetable to fit my ext 1 into my timetable (it's currently before school on Mon & Tues) so I could use those mornings for ext 2! hehe so exciting.

The heat is making me stop thinking. My brain is melting!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRUBSY

Day Five- "thank God it's Friday"

DEAREST MATH CLASS, my favourite class

day four

Photo of the day:
I finally forgot to take a photo today. *cry*

So I took a pic of my sister and I going for the Graham Crackers (ty justin).

Today was uneventful. Except I escaped double chem with Mc*ree*y by going to sick bay. I slept. Year meeting:
- MOST IMPROVED in year 11 prelim yearlies. yay. I have no idea where I improved though :S
After school: walked with Cheryl to work. :)
After work: I went to Carlo Court with mum, went into dymocks and lost track of time.

Got home lateish. Haven't started homework. I have no frees tomorrow :(

Plans for tomorrow arvo/night:
1. Watch Heroes 5th ep (waited for so long..)
2. Do all my maths. The WHOLE sheet. If I finish, on saturaday I will buy a Cambridge book and do maths. :
3. Eat properly.
4. Exercise!
5. Do other hw.

Yay, I feel organised.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRUBSY TOMORROW! AND ALICE THIS SUNDAY!

♥Disarray- Lifehouse

omg almost forgot! EVERYONE: FRIDAY NIGHT IS ISKETCH NIGHT! ADD ME! mishmashmosh.

:)

day two

Photo of the Day:
Rennin as a catalyst for the solidification of milk. The colours are just the reactions of the universal indicators. I love Bio. It's fun!

Today- Our second day into our first term as year 12s. I'm quite happy today. Why?

Reasons for happiness:
1. We did a bio prac today- it turned out to be a semi disaster, but I had fun.
2. I was looking through my postcard collection, and I'm happy to report that I have ALOT of postcards now. *gloat*
3. I didn't forget to take a photo today!
4. I got paid today!
5. I managed to study at bit at the library before work!
6. I'm eating chocolate
7. English teacher said I wrote a very good + strong few paragraphs in my creative writing and she wouldn't change a thing. *double gloat*
8. I get primitives and I know how basic integration works. As in, I actually UNDERSTAND. :D
9. GRAHAM CRACKERS! I still haven't tried them yet... but simply looking at it sitting on the edge of my table makes my insides feel bubbly.

A photo of my Halloween CANDY (from America hehe), GRAHAM CRACKERS! and my HAPPY BUNNY MINTS!

I'm glad I didn't get out of bed extra early. I needed a lot of rest. Despite going to bed early-ish last night, I didn't feel refreshed/rested etc, at all! I had a bad nightmare! :'( It was scary.

FRUITY FUN! (at the dinner table!)((during dinner))

But that's all for now folks. I've missed half of NCIS already!

*edit*

OH NO! I just realised I have an HPV VACCINATION TOMORROW! :(

The Primitive Function

I've been comparing soft toys with Topher and decided to post a few photos up here. They're quite adorable. Brings back some memories too...

Digressing...

I thought I had primitives under my belt. I thought wrong.

I mean finding the primitive of x^2-x+5 is easy. But I feel vexed when I have to find the primitive of LETTERS. I don't like how English(and Greek!) meets Maths in highschool mathematics. Stuff like e^(2x) is supposed to be really easy/simple to understand- and at first, I think I understand, but the more I think about it, the more confused I get.

I really suck at maths. *sigh* Integration. Locus was so much nicer to work with.

*

So I've finally added an entry into my blog number 2. I've decided that I want to keep a record of my dreams before my memory fails me completely. Actually, my memory is not that bad. I remember all the useless crap that I will never need (e.g. really lame dialogues in movies that people have never heard of, that aren't even witty) and I always find it hard to recite formulae (e.g. speed = distance/time)

*

In these holidays, I've been fiddling with my guitar quite alot. I'm attempting new songs (HA! attemping... and failing to learn them) such as New American Classic by Taking Back Sunday, and Call It Off by Tegan & Sara. They're simple and calm songs which I am utterly and completely inlove with.

*

Is it seriously possible to get a decent laptop with a good range blue tooth for <$1600? I went virtually building a laptop with my dad earlier and it bundled up to that much. I'm proud to say though, I will be paying for 2/3 of it! I love being semi-independant. I almost feel grown up! mmph. Can't think of anything to say.

*

Mr. USA returns today. A veeery long plane flight. When you read this, WELCOME BACK!


Cheers for reading y'all
- To infinity, & BEYOND!

so i've been away...

Working my butt off; trying to stay awake during the day; trying to go to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. I tried waking early this morning (set THREE alarm clocks to 10.30, 10.31, 10.32 just incase I slept in) and last night, I told my sister to do ANYTHING to me if I didn't wake up after the first alarm. So I got pushed around in bed this morning at 10.31AM! What a record- Out of bed before noon!

Anypoos, I must keep an eye out for time. I am to leave the house and take my bus at 12.50 to go to work *sigh* 8 hrs for $130. Originally I thought it was 6 hrs for $130. Oh well; at least the kids are cute ^w^ Yesterday, I found out they came from my old school-

Ooh! Change of plans. I'm not catching the bus. My dad's going to come pick me up. yay.

Remember the mail I was expecting to receive? Well two days ago, I received quite a large package from the Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service. My envelope was in Quarantine; because it had bits of Cornflower on it.

mmph. I feel so sleepy at the moment and a tad sick. Yesterday, I ate Yogo, Yoghurt, Chocolate Icecream, Springers Stringy Cheese (hehe), drank chocolate milk. Blah. No wonder I feel sick.

Anyone notice anything different today??

I used proper punctuation.
Highlight the above for the answer =P

The night before last, I watched HEROES EP 4. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Sylar/Gabriel might be GOOD?! awesome. Ando & Hiro get on my nerves. Daphne seems cool. For those who do not watch Heroes, I must sound like an idiot.

I might get a notebook comp this year. YESSS! No more noisy keyboard or half my desk used to house desktop stuff. Happyhappyhappy!

NOOO

DAYLIGHT SAVING COMMENCES!!

no postal service until monday. *sigh*

thunder only happens when its raining

i love the corrs

digressing. something else i love. videos by communitychannel



this woman cracks me up :)

:( today would have been perfect beach day. perfect beach weather. i want to go to the beaaaach. but NO. i was couped up at home waiting for a student to come at 4 and do work


boring blog today!

ok. caught up with mr usa again. turns out he's back in san fran after spending 4 days in 4 different states. nevada. arizona. utah. and i forgot the last one (its not cali right? cos that would make it 5 states) pretty interesting chat :) i hate the enormous time difference in the US. it means he has to go to bed when i have dinner. that would be ok. but he doesnt go to bed :O so i keep him up


anypoos. last night i was reading my weekly dose of Xiaxue's blog and she had this awesomely cute hamster in her hand. its super cute. i want one too. LOOK AT ITS CHEEKS!


so adorable. hahaha. apparently its called picolove. aaahh cute.

speaking of cute. when i grow older and want a pet, i want a shar pei. i remember being at a friend's place just talking and her sha pei pup sniffs me and sits on my lap. twas very cute. it just sat there while the whole time my friend and i just talked, and i was tugging at the folds of its skin. waaahhh

shar pei's have really dark coloured tongues so cute.

gaaah cute overload.

i feel content

and now i feel like a spastic 8 year old. hmm. earlier topher and i were browsing through a site called pawpalace. and as its name suggests it was a online designer clothing shop for dogs. and no offence to anyone who dresses their dogs, but i found the site truly disgusting. why hide the beautiful fur coats? dog clothing is tight and restricting ==; only puny, skinny, annoying yappers like chihuahuas need clothes. looking at a chihuahua enrages me. i dont know why. i really hate on them. they dont look cute. shar peis look cute. chihuahuas look fug.

pawpalace sold stuff like overalls, discovery sets (like a baby mobile .. seriously..), dog beer, shoes, slippers, socks, formal clothes, and pads. YES ! pads for menstr-youknowhats. for PUPPIES?! wah.

[/rant]

despite the fact that it is 1am, i'm still online chatting to topher. and now we're talking about vegemite. he just told me visitor of the vegemite valley is a term for homosexuals. props to wikipedia.

btw, is it :

a. happy little vegemite?

or

b. clever little vegemite?

i cant seem to recall. oh well. i heard there is going to be guitar hero at vanessa's birthday bash this sunday. i cant wait. i cant wait until my dad grants me permission to go.

thats all for now. i have a very important email to type up

BYEBYE!

fidgety

postie came. delivered letters.

meant for MRWANG (NGGH WRONG HOUSE)

no letter


grawr.


just a random pic. 20th September rex's house

meet barney.
so cute.
the furry one :) not the ugly hairy one in pink. thats jason :P [[jason if you read this, im joking.. 100% :D ]]

so what time is it in vegas?

i'm so obsessed with finding out what time it is in certain parts of america nowadays. why? i dont know. maybe i do. sometimes there are things i want for no obvious reasons. a possible reason for my obsession could be because i want to know what mr usa is up to. should be about 7-8ish.

recently, i followed a blog Ebony Freedom Sketchers written by and old friend :) it's not really a blog, but a collection of poems from her extension II english major work. about eight months ago, i was eager to take up ext 2 because i enjoyed writing and thinking deeply, but my dad told me i was not allowed to take this subject because english marking tends to be subjective and is bad for marks etc. so i listened to him and stopped thinking about taking this subject up. and since then, my english marks have been dropping. i'm quite disappointed with my marks (i hate this rank-on-report system they have at school. it devastates me) and all the hopes of taking ext 2 english have gone down the drain. it is at a moment like this that my dad decides i should take up this extra unit after attending a teacher/parent subject selection talk. i mean seriously, why do we clash so badly? now i have no interest whatsoever in taking up that fourth unit.

and so every night at the dinner table when the subject is brought up, a huge arguement arises, and he brings out that inner rebellion in me. i despise that. i love nothing more than being the "good child" in the family. but ugh- reading back, i see how much ive digressed.

so, wondering away from this topic completely, i was walking around in my front yard for a bit feeling the warmth of the sun on my neck as i was observing how well the weed killer solution worked on our front lawn.

and then.. i hear a motorbike.

motorbike on highway = bikie
motorbike on tv = racing
motorbike in a little street like mine could only mean one thing.

postman has arrived.

and then i could feel the adrenaline pumping throughout all the veins in my body. i run up to my mailbox to see what this wonderful man has brought and its a NRMA voting letter. anticlimax much?

i want to upload leigh nash for everyone here to listen to for a while. but i cant get the hang of the embedding code. theres something wrong with my code.
got it! (i cheated, i used my aimini account)

its the perfect waking up music on a sunny, breezy sunday morning.

for the past month i've been learning wonderwall + officially missing you + a few popular tunes on guitar and ive been improving every day, however, i can never sing along which is kind of annoying. especially when the music and the singing are timed differently

now i shall sunbake in my backyard :)

toodles!

ps. did anyone notice? i removed the border around the pictures i posted

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

another new blog

Just for you.

Hi Justin!
