Mackaroni's Memorable Memoirs

long time

2011-08-24T00:22:00.000-07:00

haven't posted in ages.. mostly coz i'm too lazy
not that i got nothing to say
i usually forget anything interesting by the time i get around to writing

did 40 hour famine on the weekend (: it was ccrap
i gave up talking and furniture. talking including msn + facebook, though i only did that afterwards coz joel suggested it
and yea. i haven't got much donations ;P as expected. there are several ppl who have informed me that they will sponsor me in the near future. not sure how well that'll turn out

i currently have no assessments until blocks
pretty carefree really. though once blocks arrive, i'm dead
5 exams in the first week. 1 on the following monday. hehe i know i should study but i cbb.. gonna regret it later

oh and i guess i'm also looking for a group to go to formal with. hm not sure who to hang out with
oh well.
life sucks until a purpose is found
right now, i don't see a purpose in life anymore. well i do, it just doesn't seem as important as it once appeared to be.

series of unfortunate events

2011-06-03T17:59:00.000-07:00

well well
today was a very strange day
like.. very strange.. i don't get it at all

well this morning, i had a running nose even though i was still under the blankets
got up with my runny nose, etc etc etc .. got better as usual (runny nose is usually due to allergies)
then got ready and crap. then i found out my watch had stopped an hour earlier
greattt.. perfect timing T_T though i guess i'm sorta glad that it's friday

i decide to wear the watch anyway, just to remind myself constantly that i needa fix up my watch soon.
get on the bus, halfway there and whoa and behold - watch is moving again
just weird. and when i readjust, the second hand usually stops (for accuracy and stuff)
but after this moment, the secondhand kept moving (if it was moving at the time)

oh and by this point, i had an extremely super runny nose. a really really bad one.. one i haven't had in years.. used half of my 'immediate use' tissues by the time i got off the bus
and i had brought extra of those

also, my legs are really tired. kinda sore.. taking big steps is such a bother - stick to small ones.

in economics, my blowing nose and sneezing probably annoyed the whole class (as it annoyed every other class today)
and ms naba picked on me again =_=" no fair
i could sorta answer the qs.. so it wasn't as bad as before *cough cough price stability*

prepared for the weird computer lesson physics thing. (it's sorta summative..)
and we went into some class with some lady
and the teacher started telling us about some presentation we had to prepare for
and we're like "uhh i think we're in the wrong class.. we're doing an inclass writeup not a presentation"
so yea we got kicked out ;P and then moved into the next class.. which was awkward coz the teacher was like 20 min late and we weren't prevented from talking during this 'test' period
(we had a random teacher supervising us throughout and an actual physics teacher coming in and out frequently)
then near end of period, teacher was like "ok you guys can go now"
and we're like "but we came in 20 min late. well you got here 20 min late so we should get more time"
and she's like "no.. that's not how it works. you have another class to go to.." etc etc etc
*went on for like 2 min.. * we say: "but this is assessment"
she *suddenly understands* : "ohhhh ok then ii'll go ask for your finishing time." etc
so we're like 'Yes we get more time!' *takes it easy*
then like 5 min later, the teacher tells us that we actually don't get extra time.. and that we have to hurry up and hand the thingy in
and everyone's like WTH - me included? since my excel crap was soo much worser than everyone e'lse's.. mine was pretty much the only one that didn't have any colour on it

period 3 - maths B ... this one was relatively ok.. lots of germs spreading everywhere though
same with no limits. i guess that was pretty fun ;P i kinda like the thingy where ppl 'anonymously' write things about you. though it's hard to come up with something nice for 'some' ppl . hmm and i'm really curious as to who wrote what

i've been getting blurry vision from time to time. and i'm kinda disorientated occasionally..
brain deadish
on the way home, i tripped over a tree.. wth..
well it was kinda cut
but
i didn't even notice anything.. tripped over it, almost fell onto the road
and when i looked back, found out there was actually alot left of it, so i should've noticed it easily

at home, while on computer, the light randomly popped. (btw i think this means that the light bulb has expired)
so i removed it like a boss ;D and broke the lightbulb in the process
it cracked into pieces all over the carpet... sigh... as i was picking them up, i ended up stabbing myself on both of my hands

hmm and yess this is it so far. getting worser slowly.. maybe this will be the end of the mayhem (:

btw happy birthday to twins caitlin and jillian :D
i guess nothing unfortunate there :P yet.

some thingss

2011-05-29T01:24:00.001-07:00

hii alot of stuff has happened over the past weekk
urgh i think this is my second time typing this coz my new laptop is faulty
didn't even save when it couldn't publish and the facebook isn't going good either
can't add friends, can't show other things .. etc

anyways on friday (2 days ago), i was on the bus right? from schoool
and i was looking out the window coz i was bored
when suddenly this guy (in a car) uturned
straight into the bus ;D
i barely felt it, which was probs why i was laughing. buses are quite sturdy (:
it was a new bus too. and unfortunately, i didn't get to see the hole in it. but i'm sure tehre was one
the bumper of the car almost fell offf
it was a purple car - number plate POT41 i think
customised platesss not sure about about the P but i'm pretty sure about the rest
if you're related to this guy or if you know him... then no offense please don't kill me :D
i think he was pretty stupid.. just uturning like that

yesterday morning, there was a umat training session- tony and brandon went. interesting. hope they went well (:
yesterday was also gavin's bday party - at laser skirmish!
unfortuantely i had work until like 1pm so i couldn't make it. fortunately phillip filled in for me (:
apparently it was fun
i went to the dinner bit afterwards at malaya corner (market square)
it was good :) i got sambal chicken. quite nice as usual
karsh's dad is the head chef so he got his and dennis's noodles sized up ;P
it was too big for them to finish so they ended up putting into containers for takeawayy
they went to the movies afterwards to watch 'my highness'
shame.. i had a curfew so i had to go home D: oh well next time (:

ohhh yeaa we got a table from our neighbours. it looks good! well itlooks cool
they didn't want it anymore. i dunno why
they're rich so yea
took alot of effort this morning to reorganise the study room to fit this table in.
for some reason, it fills more spaced out than before, even though more room was taken

atm, i'm taking (what my friend minh calls) a hiatus.
apparently it means like.. temporary break/quit?
yea so. hiatus of anime/games
it's a deal with tony :D it's meant to give me extra time to study coz it's year 12
but i'm spending an awful lot of time on piano instead..
currently i'm playing a piece called "Tori no Uta"
an extremely overcomplicated version
at least i reckon so
it's taking me soo long to play T_T
i currently take 5+ min to play what the video plays in 40 seconds
*sigh*.. oh welll

vongola rings! apparently they've arrived. and there's qut accounting tomorrow.. maybe
so hopefully aaron brings them (:
can't wait to see minee
waited 2 weeks for it ;D

happy birthday chun-han (:

my thoughts

2011-05-17T04:30:00.000-07:00

urghh
jealousy is kinda killing me from the inside
i blame the formal. i didn't expect 'this' to cause jealousy
but it did..

anyways. i came up with this new phrase
not sure if anyone's used it o_o but yea
it's probs taken. but i came up with this by myself (:

[To me, you are like a star in the sky. Too far out of reach, yet bright enough to light up the night.]

you probably hate me, i'm sure you do. it kinda seems that way most of the time.
but you will always be a star in my sky. no matter what happens.

freaky friday formal

2011-05-14T04:29:00.001-07:00

yesterday was the mshs formal (: big day
i just attended the preformal. which was wow
preformal of matt, andrew, gavin, brandon, etc's group btw
it was at emily's house
first time taking 180 ;P it was weird.. i think i was the only asian on the bus
it felt very very awkward, as i had left my change of clothes at home
i had folded them up very nicely and even put them in a nice bag =_=
so much effort gone to waste
all the guys had awesome suits, while all the girls were in pretty dresses
made it extremely awkward. awkward beyond belief.
at first i expected only 10 ppl altogether , but later i found out there was about 36 guys and girls
big party. i liked the food ;D
one of the guys (maybe related to emily) made these curry puffs
yum yum. i took 3 (well brandon gave me one, can't call me a pig)
there were heaps of pics being taken
their group was so big
and there were two big hummer limousines - one black one pink
guys = black, girls = pink
one of them ended up blocking cars from getting inside ;P so big
anyway, freaky friday formal is now over. and apparently everyone had a blast
the pics are nice. though not enough of them
and it is said that without a date, it is truly no fun (confirmed by friend)
thus i have to find someone to ask, and hope for a miracle (that they accept somehow)
*sigh* must try to build self confidence

hm i had more to osay. but i've suddenly forgotten.

oh yea! i'm looking forward to that vongola ring ;D
hopefully it turns out like the real thing. i hope it looks ssuper awesome
i had a dream 2 nights ago, that it turned out to be a pencil o_o
i was super disappointed =_= so glad that it's not actually a pencil

and the dreams continue. every 1 or 2 nights. hm . i wonder how much longer they'll last

crap i should start my maths assingment o.o it looks rather difficult D:
dislike
i will start as soon as i'm done relaxing (:

oh and todday at work, there was this uh. asian lady and a little kid
which i assumed was a mum and her small son.
it was actually a lady and her brother o.o 3 year old brother
the kid was somewhat 'cute'. and was kinda absent minded ;P made me crack up so hard
the kid got an envelope with $5 in it, from the bank
and apparently he held onto it like it was his life
then the sister gave him a $20 note to give to us, which he did
then she gave him another $5 note to give to us.. which he didn't. ;P
if he wanted money so bad, he should've kept teh $20 note
and then he just held onto it, while staring at her for a long time
took a while to hand it over to us
and then we gave change, which the sister gave to the brother to put in the envelope
which he didn't understand.. so she told him to put it in his shirt pocket
so he did.. except he didn't let go.. so his hand was in his pocket while holding onto the money xD
i don't think he realises that the coins aren't going anywhere even if he lets go
anyways yea that's what i remember. good times

macbeth plays

2011-05-12T05:08:00.000-07:00

yesterday, i got my eco mark back finally! ;O
io'm kinda disappointed
A1 , B5, B5, A1. *sigh* i worked so hard on that one
and i could only manage a B+/A-
means i shouldn't try anymore eh
i can't get an A of any kind this semestser for ecn anymore
no matter how well i do in the exam. i've lost it..
oh well. i guess there's always english.. hopefully

this morning, we had a live play by shake & stir
it was really coool i reckon. they did a modern thought process bit
with traditional texts - of macbeth.
prety funny.especially when they had handshakes, macbeth rejected the messenger ;P
oh yea. the messenger had "SMS" on their clothes. very very creative
the witches were funny as
and also, the channel 7 (: that was pretty funny. didn't expect them to play alot with it

for eng, we watched a modern adaptation of macbeth
it was a little confusing at first
coz instead of fighting over a kingdom, they were fighting over a 3 star restaurant
in the first scene, they were cutting up a pig's head
uncensored. frickin screwed up. i disliked that. animal cruelty
that was gross

for dinner, kelly's family invited us to korean bbq. it was nice
it was yummy. and yea. it was nice
yummy

anyways mshs formal tomorrow ;O
hm seems like i'm gonna be going to a preformal for a visit..
i still dunno whether emily says it's alright or not
oh well meeting up at gavin's place first
hope you guys hsave fun!!!! night of your lives

busy weekdaysss

2011-05-04T04:33:00.000-07:00

hi again. i'm blogging alot more than usual o_o
well ..
yesterday in english we began reading macbeth. it's a realy boring story .. don't understand the dialogue at all
we did the thing. where each person gets a part. and we just read through it like that (by acting it out)
i was picked to be one of the 'three murderers'
then afterwards we ran out of guys so teacher was like "ok you can be the son."
me: "son? but i'm a murderer"
teacher: "well you don't talk yet. and we need more guys."
me: "ok.."
teacher: "by the way you die in the end"
me: *way to spoil it..*

after this, i ended up playing the part of some guy named angus. so i'm the only guy who got 3 parts. great

anyways physics was due yesterday as well. i was printing at lunch. lots of problems occurred
printer broke down. had to print several excels and documents. huge waiting list for printing.
forgot to write an abstract. forgot to label appendices properly
all this other crap
not as bad as henry though.. henry printed in colour, so he got put at the end of the queue
waited half an hour for his assignment to come out o_o
pretty unfortunate
anyway, my assignment turned out to be 32 pages. a bit less than 3000 words but yea
24 pages of results. . everyone was like "wth"
when i got back to class, i realised heaps of mistakes in my assignment. changed them via pen/pencil
also had to number every single page

after school, had some difficulties with the gocard crap. no notes accepted, and that was all i had..
so ended up buying a ticket

this morning, the bus driver was nice (: coz he gave me a free seat ;D
well only coz i only had a $50 and a $100 note
when i got to school, i planned to recharge with $100 only to see the pic of the notes
i didn't see a $100 note.. so doesn't that mean they don't accept $100? i didn't wanna risk losing $100 over something so trivial
so i put in the $50 instead
so glad that the canteen accepts $100 notes ^_^ mshs didn't. they took a long time to give change

this morning i handed in my eng draft (: spent last night doing it. put a lot of effort into it
(when i say alot of effort, i mean while watching anime and msning hardcore)
by-line was crap, but awesome title by andrew (: thanks andrew. it's not very relevant, but quite creative :D

anyways qut accounting thing tomorrow. the thing is due and i have the quiz before school. so ima sleep now good night!

[stories - by hitomi kuroishi]

busy weekend

2011-04-30T06:47:00.000-07:00

well i have a busy weekend schedule. it's a long weekend due to labour day

today we went to cherie's and phillip's house
it's the first time we've been there, so i was meant to memorise the route
which failed massively as i kept thinking we weren't there yet
so when we passed by it, i kinda didn't recognise the place
so just turned into an exit (from the highway) at a random one
and somehow miraculously , it was the right one o_o' so yea we got to their place by luck ;P

we also got kinda lost in the street coz we couldn't find the house. but we found it eventually (:

felix and maro showed up late. we watched karate kid and had cake ;D
it was yummy . especially the porte something something. i think that's what it's called
it tasted really nice

then we watched transformers 2 - which cherie objected to. despite that, i think she enjoyed the movie thorougly xD
we had dinner too. it was really really good. the sushi was awesome (home made)
and we had wraps. tasted so nice. i took a pic..

hm i ate too much.

anyways this weekend is busy. tomorrow gotta go to eric's house for a dinner as well
and i got physics eei + qut accounting thing due on tuesday..
haven't finished accounting, and my physics eei is barely started =_=
i'm so screwed
gotta do some assignments this weekend if i don't wanan fail~

school term 2 begins

2011-04-28T04:34:00.000-07:00

school has started again .. o.o
i have like 3 assignments due.. within the next 1 - 2 weeks
school is crap so far. it's so cold in the morning. don't feel like getting up at all
gotta sleep earlier
anyway i had quite a memorable dream last night
one that involved meeting a certain someone randomly
that person talked about only having a 'small' car so couldn't go to some place..
and ended up sending that person and their family to some water theme park (which i assume was the place they wanted to go to in the first place) ;P
and along the way, we talked about lots of things.. very interesting. though can't remember them
dreams aren't very kind
hm this dream sorta intertwined with other bits and pieces.. coz i saw a whole heap of friends in it as well
can't recall exactly what happened in relation to that.. but yea
that's about it

anyway physics is due on tuesday/friday (teacher is retarded) next week and i'm not even 1/4 way done sooo i'm screwed
apparently there's an accounting quiz for qut students o.o never heard about that.. it's next week too
gayyyyyyy
so yea that's it enjoy life (:

holidays just began, yet they're almost over..

2011-04-24T05:51:00.000-07:00

hi again. i haven't posted in a very long time. basically forgot about this blog
hm not sure if anyone reads this but whatever.

holidays have just started, but they're also almost finiished =_=
alot has happened since my last post
can't remember what i last posted so yea..
did some assessments. i think. like eco oral. that was so bad. stumbled so much
and my content was crap. hope the teacher doesn't notice D:
unfortuntaely she usually does..

went ice skating on... thursday? or was it wednesday? i think it was wed
it was fun (: went with.. matt, andrew, tony, gavin, justin (gavin's bro), josephine, christine, and phillip doolette. i think that's it. had to take 2 buses to garbo, then another bus BACK to acacia ridge just coz no one could give me a lift ;P i think it would've been quicker if i just walked..

at one of the traffic lights, we stopped for like 10 minutes.. cars were piling up behind us. that's how bad it was. the traffic lights were screwed up.. red for 10 min wth
very strange. hope they fixed that
we coincidentally met bshs ppl on the same day. there was anisha, alan, darren, wesley, freda, victoria, paul, and a few others i didn't really know so well but had seen around
apparenlty i was invited like a month ago but wasn't so sure at the time. oh well it was fun (:
we were goin to sunnybank afterwards and bshs ppl were wondering how to get there
towards the end, it seemed like they weren't gonna come with us but in the end they eventually followed us at an extremely slow pace xD
i think freda was the only one who waited at a different stop... sorry!

at sunnybank, i was gonna try mos burger until i found out the like was like 10 ppl long
nowhere near as long as last time but i still cbb
bshs friends tried it, they said it was good but not worth the wait? contradicts what everyone else is saying.. a little bit
we went a bit of fun house . the guys played daytona, which was interesting
afterwards we went to the snooker place nearby. matt and tony made a bet that if they beat gavin and jt, jt would pay ;P
we didn't realise that snooker was alot harder than the pools we played at cue city
after 20-30 min, barely anyone had sunk a ball..
after about an hour, it was my turn and i only got one ball in the whole game. which was stupid
coz even though we weren't even close to finishing, we did play for about half an hour or more
that completely ruined my self esteem
don't think i'll be playing there again ;D

next day we went to city. was meant to go to the beach with bshs friends but they changed their trip to city as well (due to time/place constraints)
tony pulled out coz of the previous day (late) , while gavin dogged us coz he was 'tired' =_=
so in the end, only me, matt and dean showed up o_o
which kinda sucks.. we stayed at timezone for a while. pretty boring, though i learnt to drive (:
and watched dean own these two others guys in the MT game
good thing too, otherwise he would've been sackwhacked twice by matt XD
afterwards was movies. watched fast five. it was surprisingly good. quite funny, quite techincal, lots of action
didn't end up meeting bshs friends, only ended up seeing malcolm. they watched thor
apparently it's not as good
oh well. we were meant to go play pools afterewards, but i cbb.. was somewhat tired
so i just went home (:

yesterday went to john's house to play. it was quite fun. his laptop was so laggy though..
the food was great ;D hot dogs, cheese puffs and salad. yummm

today for lunch, we went with clive and colin . and his cousins too
somewhat awkward.. one of the adults kept giving me more food o.o i don't even know her...

going to felix and maro's place tomorrow for dinner and play i think
after that one more day, then it's schoool
ahhh crap haven't done my assignments yet. got 3 due in the next few weeks.. *sigh*
waste of hols. gotta get working on eng or my teacher will be mad at me
gotta do my physics too.. don't even know how to write an EEI
that's all for now.. i think (:

major exam week =_= diagnostics included

2011-03-09T01:38:00.001-08:00

hi so i'm back from a frickin ridiculous week
monday - surprise maths B diagnostic that we weren't told about
tuesday - maths C diagnostic that was told, but i failed anyway
today (wednesday) - economics REAL in-class essay
and also meant to have physics diagnostic but mr salama was away so we didn't ;P
it got moved to friday

soo.. for economics, we got a stimulus. and it was retarded
at monday, i went to ms nava's staffroom to pick up draft + stimulus material
went to ask for her, mean-looking teacher told me to wait outside coz she was on the phone
me waited for 30 min with kelsy, without her ever coming
me go to class =_= without her coming out. wth lunch gone ;D

that was gay. at least i got it after school. oh and i went to QUT accounting exam straight after
met up with matt, andrew, aaron, etc
then completely screwed up this multiple choice exam D:
i think i got at least 30/40.. hopefully it's a 7 of some sort

today i was hardcore studying for ecn test. well sorta... i kinda screwed around from time to time
tried getting help from others while i was at it
the exam was 90 min, so we had to start during lunch..
while waiting outside the classroom, i got bitten like 5 times by a mysterious mosquito =_=
one of them was on my palm too.. i had trouble writing at first until it faded

the essay was hard.. i couldn't do it at all
i think i did employment alrightish as usual.. the rest just screwed up
no perspective whatsoever o_o i'm really hoping for a miracle aka A1

after the exam, everyone was outside discussing it. jordan was asking everyone how many pages they wrote.. he wrote 3. just like me..
everyone else wrote alot more.. somewhat
when he asked nazret, she was hesitant at first..
jordan then said: "don't worry if you only wrote 3. i wrote 3 as well"
nazret: "ohh i wrote wayyyy more than that"
someone else (forgot): "oh yea you write really really fast don't you?"
someone else (maybe): "oh really? how many did you write? like 10?"
nancy: "no like 50 pages"
i cracked up somewhat
the way they said it made me laugh. sighh i failed so bad. oh well
the buses didn't cheer me up either. had to wait for a longgggg time before i got on one
missed out on like 5 buses. anyway it's all good
it's all over now! time to relax and de-stressss

happy birthday nancy (: and sam chai :)
and aron cheung :)

yea lots of ppl's bdays lately o.o

exams TT_TT and some other things

2011-03-02T03:46:00.000-08:00

hi again

so i haven't really gotten around to blog posting
coz
i don't really see much point anymore..

though some notable things have happened lately so i might as well put them up for remembrance

accounting exam was on last monday D:
it was easy ;D i don't know why i even bothered to study for it..
oh wait. i didn't ^_^ good thing i didn't waste my weekend doing that (:

english speech was due on tuesday. i tried getting away with delaying it but it failed
mrs bracey just randomly pointed to me, gordon and dom saying "hey you three look like you're ready. you guys can be #5, #6 and #7" =_=
at least it didn't go as bad as i thought it would. though that wasn't really good either
i often got mind blanks throughout
and it went overtime by a whole minute D;
i'm hoping for at least an A-- (yes that's 2 minuses. new marking scheme ;D )
considering how i only practised it like 5 times beforehand

oh a nother notable for monday - fans instaallled in the assembly hall (:
i'd say it's in the top 3 best things that have happened to bshs since i arrived.
they were HUGE
and yeaa even though they spinned really really slow (is spinned even a word?),
the wind created was massive. it was awesome (: aseemblies can now be enjoyed to an extent.
it's because the fans are big (:
the deputy actually said that they bought them from a company called "Big Ass Fans"
nice and creative name XD

oh and another thing - tiff noticed someone we knew in common
guess who? mr miller o_o . yep the same deputy principal from mshs
either that's his evil twin brother, or he's looking for a new job ;P
but yea.. weird

got a few assessments coming up. maths C assignment due next week
accounting QUT exam on monday afternoon (because of that, i can't go to the RBA seminar )
economics epic in-class essay on wednesday. so screwed for that
and i'm pretty sure there were other things.. can't recall atm

sigh so lonered at lunches now. usually i cross to lower campus and sit by myself
so lonely.

hmm oh btw from the last post. no the mobile phone thing failed
it was actually my fault i looked at the meter incorrectly.
my dad managed to argue $50 back though ;P after several 10s of hours of calling and stuff o_o
i feel bad... but yea other than that $50, i'm basically broke.
gotta start saving up from lunch again to afford birthday presents (:

stupid bill

2011-02-05T02:14:00.001-08:00

hm i dunno if anyone reads this thing anymore
but anywayss

school has been really weird lately.
the bus broke down sometime this week.. at an inconvenient stop
driver's excuse? suspension problems..
who gives? it's not like suspension actually affects whether or not we can get home

and the next time, i took a 155 to avoid problems with 130 again
and it took ages. i dislike that route. it takes really long

and because of a few events like this happening so far this year, i think 'FATE' is up to something
i'm not really sure what... but what i have in mind is rather embarassing and ..
well not embarassing to me. but i'm sure it'd be to ppl reading this.
so yea -- i'll keep it quiet

it's finally the weekend! but then to start it off, i got my bill for my mobile phone
and i'm actually due to pay $400+.. almost $450
GAYYYY this stupid piece of crap
my mum lectured me about how i shouldn't lend ppl my phone anymore
and yea.. i'm gonna sue them ;D

jokes. but i am gonna go find them and try to reduce my due amount.
it'll be easy - just like asking for more marks after getting an exam paper back
though i didn't do so well with that last year..
wish me luck!

the beginning of year 12

2011-01-28T04:21:00.001-08:00

soo... school has started
tuesday, thursday and friday - that's a week gonee
(wed was australia day)

this week has been pretty intense
on monday, we all gathered in the assembly hall.. it was boiling hot with so many ppl there
then we went to PCL class .. which is now k nown as SEL
which stands for "social and emotional leearning"... weird much?
then we went to form class. which is now gay as
since anisha left me for prefect
now i'm rather lonered

on thursday, i went to form class, which wasn't exactly there.
my class wasn't there at all .. i didn't really get what was happening at all
i walked up and down the stairs like 5 times trying to figure out what happened
after that, i went straight to p 1, only to find my class was already there, seated and comfortable
and plus, i had a new teacher - ms tapsall. and she called me a lunatic when i told her i was looking for my form class >.<
10-20 min into class, is when i realised that there is no form on thursdays =_=

today was weird too.. at morning tea, i went with noah and met up with cherie and bernard
cherie just came from switzerland and brought a whole heap of chocolate with her
i happened to take one.. then in p3, the teacher gave out lollies to ppl who did the hw set:
which was: get this piece of paper signed by parents
i kinda forgot to do that.. so i didn't get the prize - a lollipop ;P
i wanted one. D:
the lolly kinda reminded me that i had a chocolate in my pocket..
which i went to grab
but then i felt somthing soft and squishy
guess what it was?
my chocolate =.="
and it was in the same pocket as my phone.. so
my phone kinda got chocolate all over it D;
spent half of lunch trying to get the chocolate off of it
i think there's still some left even now..
also at one stage, i had a panic attack when i thought i lost my sim card
false alarm though... it was on my phone the whole time

anyway.. i don't feel like a year 12 yet. i feel no sense of responsibilty whatsoever
oh well. i gues it'll take its time

[thursday -- enishi - by key]

back from cruise

2011-01-13T01:46:00.000-08:00

i just came back from the cruise today
it's been a long time
wow the rocking of the ship made me rather sick
although it only happened on the first day and the last 2 days
other than that, the cruise was AWESOME!!

so i retturn from a paradise to flooding and hear that 15 ppl have died so far..
that's sad D:
although, on the bright side, school might be cancelled (:
hopefully it is. it's the best i can hope for after this disaster
for those that don't know, i went with clive, colin, meagan, natalie and their cousin richard, as well as the parents
took alot of pics
and spent alot of time playing card and board games
visited sydney, canberra, melbourne and tasmania
clive and colin mostly din't get off the boat
since they lazy and didn't want to get up early
honestly, i didn't want to either. but i didn't really have a choice
twice, i had to get up at 6am~ after sleeping at 12ish
that's in a room that doesn't get any sunlight, and where the time is 1 hour after brisbane
so technically i was getting up at 5am =_=
+s :: we had buffet every single day!
dinner was especially awesome. wasn't buffet, but we had 3 course meals - and could order as many as we wanted of them
took pics of basically every dish at dinner
so yea i'll update this latr
i stil have somewhat a headachee possibly caused by sea sickness, sickness in general, and jetlag
so yea. tonnes of pics for later

2010-12-31T04:31:00.000-08:00

well christmas has passed

the cruise is coming- only half a week left

alot of stuff has happened
one of which included trying to catch a gecko at 11pm, making a huge frickin mess , then having to clean up. didn't even catch the gecko =_=

oh and i lost my license D;
dunno where it went. no one's seen it
i leave it iin the car coz i cbb bringing it everywhere so it's partially my fault

dreamwrold

2010-12-18T04:25:00.000-08:00

life's been ish lately
the day before yesterday, it started pouring rain and thunder
first time in a long time it's been like that
and bad timing too =_=

today after work, we went to dreamworld with some other peeps
on the way to dreamworld, the gps was screwed up and my dad was too lazy to fix it
so i did, and guess what happened -
some car stopped to turn into a street, and i almost frickin crashed into it
mum and dad: "STOP STOP STOP!!!!!!"
me:*look up, turn to the left to avoid*
after that, my dad got really pissed and basically threw the gps out

first time i've been on a proper highway for a long time
i've driven 2 hours all up today (: more to add to the 100 hours i need~
first time it hasn't been pelting rain on this particular highway
guess my theory failed

dreamworld was alright. went on the new tower of terror. it was not too bad
we were gonna go on wipeout, but then someone threw up on it during a previous ride o_o
after we were told this, i bailed ;P
and yea that's al for now bye

update on hols

2010-12-11T04:41:00.001-08:00

hm i don't update muc hanymore. lots happen but i too lazy to put up
no one reads this anyway. almost..

been working alot for the past few days. average every 2 weekdays.
but that's at my dad's chemist.. *sigh* work hours are so LONG yet the pay is so tiny
apparently it's encouragement to go out and find a real job
i'm currently avoiding tuesdays so i don't have to face the HUGE arana stocks ;P
and wednesday too if i can help it
also coz regina works on those days. work is alot more fun with meileng (:
i guess there's actually something to talk about when she's around

went to dreamworld today. well actually whitewaterworld
meagan and natalie bailed out at the last moment coz their dad fell sick
so we went with phil and cherie. age difference is too great =_=
on the eway there, it was raining/pouring again.. i have no idea why it always does this
always pouring whenever i pass by this motorway

anyway, the 2 kids also met up with some friends. 2 girls.. about each's age.
the younger sister is scared of basically every ride there... so we kinda ditched her the whole time. kinda feel sorry for her
rides were kinda fun. especially the super hydrocoaster thing and the wedgie (:
drank some water through the wedgie though D:
didn't expect all that water to rush through my face

it was raining through out the day too.. kinda intersting and annoyiong at the same time
the food there is so frickin expensive =_= it's like 3x the price outside and half the quantity
i think the government should put a maximum price on all fooods - dunno how they should do it
but maybe something like grams -> $ or something
it'd be really complicated though

at one point, the rain got so large that we had to move our standing place -> the plcae where the parents stay and wait for us with our trash
after carrying one trip's worth, we went back for our shoes
which were gone D;
about an hour later, we found them under a lengthwise chair thingo
about 10 metres from there. turns out they floated with the rising water ;P
i knew it'd be something like that
but i'd only checked the chairs around the area.. didn't think it'd go that far
wow i really thought i'd lost my sandals

anyway that's all i can remember for now. there's heaps more but my fail memory sucks
oh yea i got my report card. 5 As!! A for english o_O
i wonder how the hell i did that. the short story really contributed ^_^
too bad B for eco. i was really REALLY close!!! apparently within it, i got A-, A-, B+, B+.. *sigh*
oh well
better luck next time

if you read my blog somewhat, you would know that my mum made a bet with me a while ago
oh you don't? well i can't remeber whether i put this is or not
my mum said she'd give me monetary$ rewards if i got an A for english
but if i didn't, she'd charge me the same amount... it was quite high
and it was also compulsory bet =_=
well i thought i'd actually won it somehow ;P
then my mum said "it's for next year! get an A next year!"
me: "dammnniiiittttt i thought i got it! " (though personally, i think she just tried to get out of it)

outing with mshs friends

2010-12-02T01:49:00.001-08:00

yesterday, went to outing with several others
there was me, brandon, matt, andrew, tony, gavin, ken joven, aaron sinnathamby for the movies
we watched harry potter 7 part 1. it wasn't too bad. though towards the end, brandon was like "i'm gonna slap someone if this movie finishes now" *movie finishes*
me: "who are you gonna slap?"
brandon: "who should i slap?"
me: "gavin"
gavin: "noooo . slap andrew"

afterwards, we went to eat at the myer place at city. had nandos (:
it tastes really yummy. they have like diff types of chilli. i got mild for my burger, but then i got hot for my chips ;D yummm
got really spicy after a while. but i like a challenge (:
unfortunately nandos is kinda expensive D: so i can't go there all the time
matt got hanaichi-like food for $5!! apparenlty a place called "bento"
gonna go there tomorrow for outing ;P

we also had some girls coming. but they didn't end up coming to the movie
we did however, meet up with them randomly throughout the day
on the bus to the city after the movie, we randomly met jo on the same bus
she was gonna get off it and watch a movie with sarah collins, but then the bus ended up leaving before she could get off ;P
turned into change of plan - tony and jo went back to retrieve sarah and their movie was cancelled (:
we met emily and marion at the eating place. they were eating obviously
after eating, we went to timezone for some fun
right afterwards, we headed to cue city for karaoke/pools (it was raining..)
along the way, we saw rachael .
when we got to karaoke, i thought it'd be really boring. brandon, ken and i wanted to bail out coz christine choy and matt said they'd kill us if we didn't sing =_= or something along the lines of that
though apparently they paid for us o_o so we had to go
didn't turn out nearly as bad as i thought it'd be
alot of fun. although most of us chose english songs D: which i don't really enjoy
oh well. though i DID find j-pop songs !! ^_^ kinda changed the mood completely
matt made me sing a weird song =.= i still don't know how it goes
some song called "SHE BANGS"
meh anyways.. the karaoke lasted an hour
after that, we played ppools
only problem was, all the girls and some of the guys ditched us D;
stil turned out alright. just me, brandon, ken, aaron and gavin left.
i played like crap *sigh* i think ken was the pro-est :)
there was alot of rainnnnnnnn

today, i went to work from 10ish to 5ish at dad's chemist
i wasn't really happy about this at all, but meileng is back (:
so it's not so boring anymore. and it was also an extremely quiet day
so i barely didd any work at all today. i don't think i was even needed there

ok that's all for now. state high outing with some randoms and some ppl i know tomorrow
hopefully it'll turn out good (:

summmer hols! (:

2010-11-30T03:10:00.000-08:00

feels good
though for the last few days, i haven't slept in at all D;
last two days, i've had work at my dad's to make up for marg's leg injury
tomorrow is outing thoug h(: sooo yea hopefully that turns out well

on saturday, had dinner party with clive and colin's and meagan and natalie's families
jack and i spent most of the morning and half of the afternoon making salads and other foods
we made 3 salads - potato salad, italian salad, and caesar salad
it turned out alright. a little bit strange though, but still alright

last week of school, had 2 exams - maths c and economics
maths c was gay =_=
couldn't do 3rd question at all.. and somehow, got q4 wrong even though i'm quite sure i did the steps right
economics wasn't too bad. hopefully got an A overall (:

hm i think i'm watching too much. oh well

exams and eco dinner

2010-11-18T03:55:00.000-08:00

hi so i haven't blogged in like forever
so i decided i'd write something for now

this week is blocks. so is next week. i have 6 exams all up
so far, i've done 4. i dunno how i got this far and still spent most of my afternoons watching anime/playing games
have had one exam every single day so far
physics was monday session 1.
all other exams were in session 2: accounting on tues, english on wednesday, and maths B on thursday (today)

so.. physics was basically screwed up. spent alot of time figuring out how to do stuff that didn't end up being on the exam. also realised the day before the exam, that i didn't really have much of an idea of how to do circuits. i hate them =_=

i didn't really study for accounting since it was MYOB. basically relied on my memory to remmeber what i had done over the past few weeks. and i was kinad confident i could do stuff since i had practiced at lunch times. freda's worrying did kinda freak me out for a bit but now it's all over and it was easy as (:

i freaked out massively for english but still wasted alot of time the day before. in the morning before exam, i went around asking everyone i knew for tips. most ppl rejected me immediately with "no. go away". *sigh* i have such crap friends. anyway~ there was like this really easy question on the paper so i picked that one :D and so i think i passed ^_^

sorta freaked out for maths B too. since i realised i barely knew anything about unit circles.. spent alot of time this morning revising and figuring out what they were. actually read the whole chapter. and then barely anything showed up on the exam =0= so stupid. and i'm hoping for 100% kap and 4 Xs :) had to borrow the teacher's calculator since i forgot mine. she actually made me trade my gocard for it ;P i didn't have id with me

also, today we had the farewell dinner party for marielle (economics) at ahmet's (southbank)
it's a turkish restaurant. the place was really dark but the food wasn't bad
rather expensive though. other than that it was a nice environment. we talked alot about random stuff
well they talked , i listened *attempt*
after a bit, noah ended up ditching me. and kelsy left too
then the belly dancer came and everyone was like "where did kelsy go?"
nazret and marielle kinda joined the belly dancer halfway through
and towards the end, jordan danced a bit too. though he sucked ;P
oh and nancy likes sour stuff. she was like 'eating' a lemon.. straight.
she and amaryllis had like a contest to see who could.. i dunno.
but amaryllis finished hers faster. though she was like dying afterwards
nancy enjoyed eating hers. *sigh* she must be used to that stuff
and yea i got noah to take lots of pics of foodd. hopefully he'll give me some soon

accounting orientation

2010-11-04T04:18:00.000-07:00

wow it rained really hard today
and i mean pouring like hell
that was in the morning
i thought i wouldn't need my umbrella but NOOO anyone who went through it for 2 seconds got soaked
pretty coool though. so lucky i actually brought my umbrella
so many ppl were soaking wet
and in the undercover place near the bus way, heaps of ppl were stranded
i feel sorry for them

spent morning tea and lunch looking for a dep to sign my accounting thing
worked out ok in the end though it tooook forever
and i was bored at lunch. always am. probably always will be

after school, i went to QUT for orientation for accounting
was planning to meet andrew at mater hill and walk to qut together
but then he was late and stuff so i went by myself
and got lost =_=
*sigh* i forgot to memorise the path to goodwill bridge
though i eventuallly found it
and then got lost again D:
when i got past the bridge
ended up in botanical gardens. so sucked
the blocks are really confusing
ended up getting there a bit late, though earlier than nathaniel, aaron and the khongs ;P
and ate alot of freebies ^^
like... cookies (i think they from subway), shapes biscuits, small chocolate bars and juice poppers
though i only had cookies and chocolate
lots of it :D
a few of my friends called me a pig =_=
greaaaaat friends sigh
anyway it turned out quite fun in the end
ended up quite late back home though

happy birthday wendy (:

2010-11-03T03:09:00.000-07:00

hi it's quite a while sincei last posted
alot of stuff has happeend

first of all, i'm going to some QUT accounting orientation thingy tomorrow
was gonna do a maths course but the thing frickin expired on 31st
in fact, i actually checked in on that date and thought i just made it
unfortunately, we also needed school approval o_o
which meant that i couldn't do it (since it was a weekend)
how gay

on sunday, badminton was ish. there was another little girl
who was also pro. *sigh* what's happening to the teens these days. noob and all
i teamed up with her at first and she basically owned colin and jack by herself
i didn't really do anything
unfortunately she left rather early - got a feeling her dad made her
she seemed to be having fun with us

in physics, we began doing tests and stuff
on our experiments
they aren't going well at all
i think my group members are a little confused over what we have to do
though... they're not listening. my opinion doesn't count
they just proceed to burn off the outside of the pencils =_="
and yep now everything is the same. no control, no nothing
and nipuna said he was smart

yesterday, tim was retarded. he threw a cucumber at me O_o
and it had been in his sandwich. and on the ground.
sometimes he doesn't know that he has passed his boundaries

yesterday also, i sat in the back seat of the bus.
some weirdo came and yea he was really weird o.o
made very strange sounds, put his face too close, staring, pulling the back of his shirt up
made him seem like a pedo. i tried staying still - not moving, not looking at him
it kinda worked.. most of the damage was dealt to the guy on the other side
the moment i moved my arm alot, he started staring etc at me
yea kinda freaky. fortunately he moved seat JUST before my stop.

on halloween, seen a few posts of ppl having trick or treating at their front door
mostly they didn't have any candy so they gave them asian lollies ;P
so hardout
i wonder if their costumes were any good

anyawy that's all i can remember for now

lots of ppl have had their birthdays recently
happy birthday to navid! (yesterday)
happy birthday to claire thereisa and lachlan weh for 1st november (2 days ago)
happy birthday to addie for 31st oct (halloweeennn)
and yea i think that's all. bye for now

bbbq

2010-10-30T03:14:00.001-07:00

went to work at dad's today
was kinda reluctant at first since i wanted to sleep
became alot more interesting when i got there though
jack took the car for his exam so i couldn't drive

learnt alot of stuff from meileng
we talked surprisingly alot. made the day alot more fun and stuff
learnt that UQ lecturers for pharmacy suck. oh and some general knowledge about pharmacists, pre-registration, chemist warehouse, terry white, dispensary systems, etccc
meileng's going to malaysia tomorrow
have a safe trip!

jack picked me up. he came with billy tooo. haven't seen him in a while
talked about some random stuff the whooole way

for dinner, went to a korean place in pinelands plaza with eric's and felix's families
the food was awesome. especially the beef. we had bbq
oh and the potato stuff was really good too (:
was so happy when i found out we could ask them for more (FOR FREE!) when we finished with it
muahaha kept ordering more
though i tried to be discrete so i didn't look like too much of a pig
the pork had alot of fat though. and there was pig's ears o_o
i actually tried one... the taste was quite nice but it was super chewy
which wasn't good..
they had these thingos.. these tubey thi ngs
on top of each of the bbq things. i think it's a sucker thing
since it blew out the flame when you pull it down towards the bbq

i hear tracy (cousin) is going to malaysia in december.
hmm haven't heard from her and her family in a while. hope the kids are still doing well :D

also hear that evelyn's coming over to visit on tuesday
guess why
well since you can't really, i'll tell you
melbourne cup day!
it feels like a few weeks ago that last this event was on
when it only happens on the 1st tuesday of every november
anyway evelyn is like... horse racing freak sorta ;P
at least with an event of this magnitude she is
and she says she's gonna drive here in her benz XD
last i checked, she didn't have one (;

random updatee

2010-10-28T03:24:00.000-07:00

well this morning, my dad arrived back home
apparently he got alot of DVDS (:
and he went to stay in macao where lots of casinos were
and he says that we should go there next year
and they'll just sneak me in ;P

in period 4 today ( accounting), it started pouring halfway through
then the roof started leaking . alot.
the day suddenly got more interesting. though not by enough
some of the other classes were leaking too. one of them had lots of buckets to hold the water (:
the first day in a long time where i don't bring my umbrella, it rains =_=
on the way out, i walked with martin to bus station
we were getting soaked so i kinda 'borrowed' amaryllis's umbrella ;P
she ended up sharing with her sister until they got to their crossing

yilin got me some c-pop songs
unfortunately the names have come up all gibberish.
so yea.. currently trying to fix that

last night was speech night for bshs. obviously, i didn't go
didn't turn out to be very good anyway

oh also got my certificate for westpac maths comp
can't believe i was 3% off high distinction
and i almost got the last question right!! D:
i put 24 first.. then changed it to 11
24 was the answer. damn it. would've gotten an extra 10 points
which is more than enough to get in the top 5% *sigh*
i have so much regret..

kinda stressed out about uni course in grade 12, exams and clarinet auditions.
i'm not practicing instrumental today coz it's already too late
ooh just finished kuroshitsuji season 2 (:
it was actually really good imo. though matt didn't think the same

[ yesterdeay -- tori no uta - by lia
today -- 最近還好嗎 - by SHE]

another week begins

2010-10-25T04:36:00.000-07:00

monday again.. i don't know how much longer i'll last like this

in assembly, there was this small question thing
it's like: which animal has killled the most people over history?
a) lion. b) bear. c) mosquito. d) fluffy bunny
guess which one?
half the ppl said mosquito. a bit less than half said fluffy bunny -_-"
how retarded
anyway it turned out to be the mosquito. so yea

on the way home, i took a bus to griffith first as usual
but then it took forever for me to get there. so i missed the 139
ended up taking a 155 on impulse
took ages to get to plaza. then on the way to the 130, i saw colin
and.. we decided to eat food while we were at it
also saw ian lin there. haven'et seen him in a bit. he's so tall now *sigh*
reminds me of how short i am

oh damn physics assignment phase 1 is due tomorrow!
and i haven't even started!
well i plan to do it tomorrow
i don't think it's too hard. hopefully it's not

boring..

2010-10-24T04:18:00.000-07:00

this morning, i woke up at 5am.
why you may ask? because i got a text
from colin (my neighbour) asking me about how i installed league of legends ( a game)
my reply, went something like: "website. download. btw dude its 5am"
turns out he didn't know ;P how oblivious

i didn't go to badminton today. as promised
jack and colin went by themselves (since jack got his Ps)
oh yea forgot to mention before. jack got his Ps! ;P
yea and they managed to make it back in one piece. what a surprise

afterwards, the 3 of us helped out in our backyard
we had to move rocks in one place to another place
so it was rather tedious
halfway through, we found a toad in the potting mix bag o_O"
a little freaky. but we got rid of it
colin was basically poking it half the time to get it moving

ahh damn the weekends are over already *sigh*
that was fast. what a waste

more work

2010-10-23T03:16:00.000-07:00

this morning, it was my turn to work at dad's chemist
since jack went for the past two weeks
i worked with meileng
it was busy at times, boring at times
we talked alot (: about random stuff
i think i've gotten to know her better now

afterwards, we went to lunch together. me, jack, mum and meileng
at buffet garden
it's been ages since i last went
the food tasted alright... the food that usualy tastes super good didn't at this place
but still. i ate heaps (:
a little too much ;P
could barely stand up...
meileng's the first person i know so far who doesn't like dessert D:
after that, we went to buy jack another scientific calculator
he's lost two of them so far =_="
and he wanted to buy the $40 one instead of the $10 one
JUST because the $40 one had a proper fraction button. *sigh* he's not asian in his spending

oh and i drove to work and from sunnybank -> back home
first time on a high way (:
it's really frustrating when i go too slow and ppl overtake mee

happy birthday geoff :D

another weekend comes!

2010-10-22T03:26:00.001-07:00

today's the first day in economics, where i was asked a teacher by ms naba and didn't get owned completely (:
may be a good omen
i answered her question and she was nodded and that was it.. i was so surprised
usually after answering, she delves much further until in the end, i doubt myself and yea . die alot on the inside. she does it to all of the dumb ones like me *sigh*

no limits was on. but tina was quite late and the chaplain guy (i think his name is andrew) was sick
so yea at first me and phoebe were the only seniors
*sigh* at least i got free lollies (:

after school, i went with tim to practice in a room in P block (which he had booked)
played clarinet and stuff randomly for about half an hour.
ended up being alot of waste of time. oh well
tim's very random as usual. don't think that's changing any time soon

happy birthday freda (: hope you had a great day

some stuff

2010-10-21T02:53:00.000-07:00

life has been gay lately
got a D for one of my physics questions
just coz i misunderstood it. and the question wasn't very clear from the very start
also , one of my headphone thingoes doesn't work anymore. the wire has basically come out
so now i've decided to leave it at home..
so now i listen to my phone speakers for music.. which is frustrating since i have to keep adjusting the sound so nobody else can hear it. also have to hold it up to my ear to listen =_=

andy firth (clarinetist) came to our school today and played golden wedding with the big band
he plays really well , as expected
he's also balding :P

went to presentation night of mshs last night
tried taking photos but my phone quality is really crap
so i ended up taking 70ish photos that give no recognition of anybody
*sigh*
also drove to and from the place. at night. almost crashed into a guy that stopped to drive into a driveway just coz jack told me to take note of the side mirrors..
i can't do two things at once usualy. oh and i think i'm not nervous enough now..
since when mum told me to brake (when almost hitting the car), i only braked a little
thinking it'd be enough. instead, almost plowed into the thing

gay - clarinet thingy coming up. can't even play the song that tim gave me
so gay
either start practicing heaps and learning hardcore or choose a different song =_=
or quit ;D

happy birthday to three people: rachel hur, nipuna , and gary yuen (:
hope you guys had like... great 18th/17th/16th ;P
triple trouble ;O

from her very first hit, i knew she wasn't noob
but i didn't think i would get owned by her =_="
farout the pros in our group were having trouble against her too
so shameful TT_TT
oh and jack showed up late, so he didn't have to pay..
until he played for like 5 minutes
then the staff were asking him whether he'd paid or not
farout asians are such cheapos
way too cheapo
i don't like this place anymore
they actually made jack pay the full $6 even though he only played once
i don't know if i want to go again next week

started playing league of legends
found out where the bots are
crystal phoenix is so cool! really cheap
beat eric with it xD
though.. he started owning me once he maxed out
got so bad that i started legging it every time i saw his character pop up randomly
the judicator..
he/she flies tooo. and eric kept coming through the jungle
i hate it when ppl do that. it's so unexpected. i guess only pros do that since i stay on the lanes

oh yay i found my 'the crucible' ! yea it was stuck in my shelf somewhere..
good to see it's still in great condition
eh school tomorrow o_o
gay
why are so many ppl last minuting work? (like i can say anything..)
i seem to be the only person with no assessment to do
maybe coz i choose all the easy subjects

oh on a side note, i'll be changing my web address soon
since.. there's been some controversy going around
when it changes, if you want to know what the new one is, ask me
not that anyone will

happy birthday sam kung! :D
hope you had an unforgettable and memorable day (:

update againn

2010-10-16T04:04:00.000-07:00

thursday - had english assignment and accounting exam
the teacher actually read out my author's statement o.o
even though mine was done at the last moment, and really really crap
mrs bracey said it flowed well.. though it didn't sound very flow-y at all when she read it out
so many repetition of words..

studied so much for accounting and in the end, it was so easy =_=
i studied 80% of period 1, 50% of period 2, and ~75% of lunch for it
i bet i could've gotten away with little to no study at all.. what awaste of life

got amaryllis to colour my fibonacci spiral for maths C (:
though apparently she got lazy and ended up getting others to colour the big squares for her
they ruined it D:
though it stil turned out ok. still alot better than what i can do
friday - maths c assignment due last. made quite a few corrections in period 2
due to wesley's and angela's advice and stuff
though wesley was mostly asking for my work
mine was only 5 pages including tables and stuff..
whereas i hear some ppl had 15 pages excluding graphs, tables, etc
i hear that my assignments are some of the shortest stuff...
though i still seem to get A-ish
weird eh

had my 3rd driving lesson today. i basically forgot everything that i had learnt previously
my braking and steering was really crap. lots of sudden stops and stuff
oh and i HATE parallel parking =_="
farout they're so friccking hard
i just hate
so gay
i got my mum to be my supervisor afterwards
drove for an hour straight after.. quite tiring

@most mshs friends:
have fun at leadership camp! one night left!
seems quite peaceful on msn without you guys around

happy birthday for yesterday david wu! hope you had a great dayyy

and now there's nothing more to say

yay short post! really really short post..

2010-10-13T03:21:00.000-07:00

workload is overloading =_=
maths C assignment due friday. english assignment due tomorrow. accounting exam tomorrow
nothing's done
yet..

first time in sooo long that it hasn't really rained at all

happy birthday to ken joven and scott chen (;
hope you guys enjoy yourselves

up-to-date

2010-10-12T04:50:00.000-07:00

hmm not much time lately to post
ok there WAS heaps but i can never be bothered then
so it's been raining alot these days
i wonder what's wrong with hawaii ( or some other place .. i think - - note from sose grade 9)

had a musicfest concert today (in fact, just then)
it went rather crap
last song (hieroglyphs) was total fail by speeding
and my mum has informed me that amazing grace sucked
which completely agrees with my opinion for the past 10 - 20 weeks

happy birthday to aaron ngoi for yesterday (:
and happy birthday to jonson pan and sophia russell for today :D
yea rather late.. hm. hope they had great respective days etc etc

and so i can't remmeber anything else to write
i should probably write less from now on.. most of my friends ' blogs are super short and extremely rare

[ yesterday -- aozora - by key
today -- kimi no kioku - by mao]

joanne's wedding -- congrats!

2010-10-10T03:05:00.000-07:00

10/10/10 today :D
apparently it's quite a lucky day.
i think

we went to joanne's (our ex-tutor) and maurice's wedding
congrats to them both! hope them the best wishes and luck in the future to come

it was at a chapel in the gold coast (it was super-raining on the highway)
i took lots of pics (of the wedding) (: but coz of something my mum just said, i don't think i'll post them ..
let me know if you want to see them

at first it was weird.. coz we didn't know a single person there
in fact, the only person we know there is the.. bride
and she was like away in hiding as per usual of a bride

i was surprised to find that the wedding song wasn't even played
the ringbearer flunked out of the job at the last moment
there was no flower girl
and the maid of honour (i think) was joanne's sister
who i mistook for joanne herself at first.. they look SOO alike

towards the end, they gave us cones of flower petals (which i thought was icecream)
and we got a little box - which turned out to have biscuits and stuff
i wanna keep them for memory
but i dunno how to take the stuff out without ruining the box >.<

we had photos at the very end. one of the groom's guys had a bubble gun ;P
literally - a gun that shoots bubbles
oh and the releasing of the doves was quite nice too. though i dunno why there was six of them

at 12:30ish, we were getting told off to leave quickly coz another wedding was gonna take place..
way to ruin a couple's most important day of their lives >_<"
though it was still alright
raining throughout the day
oh well. it was a good experience (: next time i'll know what a wedding is like
once again, congrats to joanne and maurice!

some random useless stuff

2010-10-09T03:32:00.000-07:00

i got woke up by a pigeon =_=
a few months ago, i realised that when i could hear a pigeon, then it means they would be on the window sill
i usually flick the blinds to scare them off
but this time.. i couldn't find it D:
stupid pigeon. i looked around several rooms and after about 5 - 10 min of looking for it, i realised that it was on the roof. at least i thought so
when i touched the roof, i couldn't hear the annoying thing anymore
so i think i guessed right :D

jack went to work at my dad's for the earlier part of today
had the home to myself (: for about.. i dunno how long
but i had a huge amount of chores to do. coz i had to do jack's share

anyway when it was time to pick up jack, me and my mum went to well.. pick him up
raining~ meileng looked like she was having fun i gues

we went to eat lunch afterwards. which was at a place called sumire
a japanese restaurant at pinelands plaza
it tasted quite alright. of course, basically all jap food is really good (no matter how crap the quality is)
in one of the tables behind , my mum said that a lady at that table is a food critic
(she was taking pics) and she even showed us a pic of her on the back of the chinese newspaper ;P
i was wondering what a 'famous' person like her would be doing there
mum thought she didn't have to pay for the food :P

oh i forgot to mention - yesterday i found out that the westpac results came out
i screwed up TT_TT
i only got a distinction... 93 percentile
damn i was sooo frickin close
i lost to so many others.. *sigh*
like christine, martin, ho-wei, anita, albert, etc
though they're all supersmart so i'd expect to lose to them
but i really hoped i could get higher..

anyway tomorrow is 10/10/10
and joanne's wedding~
we're getting her placemats
i hope it'll go ok
this is the first i'm going to.. really hoping it doesn't turn into a nightmare

[ --natsukage - by key]

week 1 over!

2010-10-08T02:35:00.000-07:00

this morning, there was a huge rain
when i say huge, i mean HUUUUUUGGEEE
it woke me at 12am-ish and kept me up for quite a while..
it sounded like it was hailing - there was movement of the hail on the roof
there was also massive rain and lightning to boot
i woke up some time ltater, to find that it was no longer rainning
after a bit, i checked the clock - it was around 4am

i woke up to find that there was barely a trace that it even rained D:
i was really hoping that it flooded so i wouldn't have to go to schoool today
*sigh*.. still had my hopes up when i left home
according to my mum, there was no hail to begin with... TT_TT
though there was barely any water at all around the place..
though the rain and stuff managed to reduce the day temperature by heaps :D
that was pretty useful
encountered a small problem though:
my shoes were outside.. and they got flooded by the rain ^_^'
so i had to use my shoes from earlier in the year
or - jack's shoes from quite a long time ago
those shoes are rather screwed up.. *sigh*
i'll get a pic of them if i can be bothered

at lunch, we had no limits (:
the chaplain guy didn't come.. so seniors merged with the juniors
i don't like no limits as much when that happens..
quite a few of the little kids are retarded
and some of them hog the food
OI IT'S MY FOOD!! (not really) I WANT
but if you hog the food, you answer to me =_="
go kill some weight fattys (:
we were talking about what we did on the hols
there was this one girl who looked kinda smart and stuff..
and she was like: "i played computer games. and that's it.
slept at 4. wake up at 3. then i play computer games. then sleep. then 'cycle' "
not really what i expected o_o
so yea.. the rest was quite boring to be honest

had inst. lesson in 4a. it was alright
failed pretty bad
need to practice..
and i need two pieces
hopefully i can get them from bernie

and yea. it's weekend!! :D
looking forward to it.. nah not really
coz of the wedding.. still dunno what to wear and stuff
hopefully it all turns out alright

[ -- starless night - by olivia]

another abnormally hot day D:

2010-10-07T02:54:00.000-07:00

another steamin hot day comes and goes
super super hot.
useful in the mornings (coz of music) but rather hateful during the day
i have music fest on tuesday night
and a 'super duper bonus rehearsal' on tuesday morning
the only good news is that it'll be the last rehearsal for the year :D
looking forward to it

oh that reminds me. at one point in bed, i was waiting for my clock to ring (6:30am)
it was 6am at the time. i waited for what seemed like ages, look back at clock (6:05am)
it's strange how sometimes time passes so quickly, but other times it's soo slow
oh and i managed to have kinda fully fledged dream during the 25 min of waiting left
something about... throwing snowballs to other snowmen in front of me
they catch it, then keep passing it to each other to hit a target goal
the movements were rather strange.. coz snowballs ended up everywhere
and my vision kept shifting from one snowman to another
after a long time of throwing snowballs, i end up at a lava (i think?) river
and there's this goal inside it.. sorta like a platform
i realise that this is my goal - to throw the snowball at it
but i have to stand back to throw... in the end i get it (:
but then i think my phone alarm rings at about this point

as for school:
in maths B, waste of time as usual. we had a fire drill halfway through though
which was good. apart from the scorching sun

in english, we got a new student (:
he's name is leon, and he's from cooparoo school, but came from china before a few months ago
seems like a pretty nice guy. i showed him around school, looking for the people that he met online before (today was his first day)
didn't find anybody..
*sigh*

for accounting, we were in the comp room again. which was nice
but the aircon was broken as usual. so it was frickin hot
i was unable to open my thingy from last time. so i had to copy yilin's
and yea the backup screwed up towards the end so i'm not sure if i have it anymore
i hate MYOB =_="
so complicated

never taking 555 again if i can help it
they get sooo full after a while
doesn't matter if it's a banana bus
but i did see marian, david and aaron ngoi at griffith
and i got updated on some stuff (marian's birthday yestserday)
quite interesting

i hear that mshs has got award placements out now
congrats to: shuatha (maths B and C), matt (BCT), tim (accounting), aron (chem), sian (physics and bio) and yea that's all i know right now... i'll figure out the rest later
good job ppl. though some things were quite unexpected
e.g. (no offense to tim) but i thought matt would really get accounting

random update

2010-10-06T01:01:00.000-07:00

nothing much happened today
maths c passed really quickly as usual
we're doing locuses (since yesterday)
quite interesting stuff
the fan which made the chirping noise.. pisses me off (always)
ppl were eyeing it for quite a while
though i might be the one most annoyed by it due to my weird ear problems..

in accounting, we were in computer room learning MYOB
we had a lesson on MYOB earlier in the year
though i seem to have forgotten everything about it
so now i have to start from scratch
can't believe our end of year exam will be on it..
so screwed

apparently 1/4 ppl fail the last exam on average
1/2 get Cs
then out of the 1/4, 7/8ths get Bs while the remaining 1/8th gets As only
that's... a super tiny number. i may not get out alive this time

in physics, we watched a video (:
it was a cartoon, explaining electrical charge and how static electricity gets passed on to diferent things
then there was the electroscope, which showed how it detects charge in an object
the sound effects were quite funny at first.. then they seemed to get rather irritating

2nd day of talent show at lunch. i watched it with noah, nipuna, and wesley (he left halfway)
one of the events was a dance by the 2 ppl from the dance group zenith (:
they made it rather funny and... kinda 'mature'
prettyy good though

in ecn, teacher was trying to show us something on the overhead
but the clearest it could show was... super blurry o.o
so we tried to find other ones from other classes
noah managed to find one but it had no cord ;P
so teacher was like to the super blurry one "we don't need this. we can throw it out. it's garbage"
me think: "overhead smash!" (mix of overhead projector and guitar smash)
we also learnt about the lorenz curve, which is something taught in year 12 maths B
and the gili coefficient
and when it came to determining the coefficient of perfect equality/inequality, i was right and ms nava was wrong :D
i feel so special
though that's just personal satisfaction

anyway last night's dream: something about throwing my headphones into a wheelie bin
then dumping small pieces of paper and other stuff in it
then pouring mayonnaise all over it -heaps- and mix it in a heap
i dunno why i did that... but after alot of stuff happened in the dream,
i came to my senses and went to pick it out
its condition was really bad.. it was really oily from the mayonnaise
and the spongey parts were like torn apart
made me feel really really bad for it.. fortunately it wasn't real

two nights ago, i had a dream that i went to eric's house with some ppl
though.. it was like a mansion. i passed like 50 rooms and 200 metres of distance to find a toilet..
and then on the way back, eric came to find me and told me not to use this way coz it passed by too many rooms
so i went by the stairs that went directly there
on the way up, it was kinda like an escalator
but on the way down, it was like a jumping castle ;P
kinda fun
there were other ethings involved.. maybe a game of some sort
and we fight using these things (alive)
mine couldn't fight for some reason at some point so i went somewhere to recharge him/her
and on the way back, he/she died again o.o before even fighting.. *sigh*
anyway that's all i can remmeber. and walking along some sort of rope bridge
random eh
don't worry about it - just me being retarded

aww music agin.. i feel like quitting again TT_TT
don't wanna get up so early

happy birthday marian :D was gonna text you but was afraid that you might try to return the text and struggle with it too much ;P
hope you had a great day (:

it feels like nothing much has changed

2010-10-05T03:03:00.000-07:00

eng - most of the comps were screwed up . could not log on or something
as a result, i couldn't get a computer next to gordon. so i was like talking to him with a spare computer in between.. my short story has quite a few more twists!! though now it's like 1670~ words
word limit is between 600 - 800.. what's this mean? i needa cut down. and i'm not even finished yet

in ecn, we read a huge two page newspaper article (2 A4 pages) then we were meant to answer the qs
well as most of you know, i'm a super slow reader.. i end up reading most of the passages 3-5 times before i understand what they're talking about
so maybe a slight exaggeration, but before i even got onto the 2nd page, ppl were already answering questions D:
oh and apparently, ms nava lost menaka's essay, so they can't give them back.. yet
yesterday on assembly, nancy got an award for tying 3rd place in qld for the economics compettion
she got $50
ms nava: "but it's not about the money. it's about the .. recognition -"
david: "nah it's all about the money"

at lunch, there was a talent show (within the school)
one of the asian girls in year 11 (raymond's class) had a voice that ... to be honest, i don't think it quite suited her. though the singing was alright - everyone was cheering
never heard her talk before. she's one of the girls that when i arrived at bshs, i felt i recognised them from somewhere..
i have a smal list of ppl (in my mind.. somewhere)
and they don't recognise me of a particular person.. i just feel like their faces are familiar
i find that singing voices are very different from talking voices
after losing sight of noah, going to eat my own food then coming back, i saw the strom brothers and their juggling
it was quite a job well done
quite impressive juggling. and they added alot of comedy elements to it
one of which was kicking the other in the b____s ;P
singing isn't my fave sort of thing to watch in a talent show. they're too normal
i look forward to the unusual ones or dance crews (coz they look really coool and sometimes they do really cool moves like backflips etc)

physics, mr salama didn't give the 2nd paper back . forgot why
we're doing circuits and stuff this term. how gay
no calculations anymore.. i might fail TT_TT learnta bout the coulumb thingy
which is like.. 6.25 x 10^18 of protons or something like that
how retarded
and a proton is like 1.06^-19..? weird. confused already
before i knew it, class was over ;D

uhh it seems i'm not the only one who wasted their holidays
which is kinda good (:
though that doesn't really help me at all

damn it's stinking hot again
can't believe summer's coming back..
reminds me of the first week or two of bshs this year..

1st day back

2010-10-04T01:34:00.001-07:00

well school has begun once more
it was so stinking hot today
or was it just me?
haven't done much exercise in so long

in accounting, ms tyler announced that
no one wanted to pay the $100 for ecoman. so the ppl there got sponsorships
and have allowed bshs to go for free
it made me consider... though. i had to make a decision by today
and ecoman will be this wed, thurs and friday. since we have an exam NEXT week =_= ,
i didn't say i would go
so only 2 ppl in the whole class actually wanted to definitely go
i kinda felt bad for ms tyler.

alot of comp time wasted in english.. turns out my short story had HEAPS of errors D;
none of my proofreaders told me about this... :\

arghhh they put the price of wedges up by $0.50! to $1.50. and salad is $3.50 now...
freakin... i paid an extra dollar in total today. that would be alot more usually
and for the rest of the term, that will add up to be a whole lot more... cheapos

i got my maths b assignment bacak. damn i did crap
i made 0.5 marks error in every single category
which meanss... no Xs , and i got 18/19 overall. so retarded
most of them were coz i forgot to write final limits..
but one of them was smart. it said 1/n! (to infinity) approaches...
i wrote "e" , = 2.71828 etc... though for 3 dec places, i put 2.719
COZ most of the numbers already reached 2.718
doesn't that mean that they already reached, no longer approaching it?
yea.. our sub frickin marked me down for that
apparently he won't let anyone argue with him
how retarded

and so yep. that's about it from school
when i got home, i found a letter for jack. read it.. guess what it is?
jack got selected from random draw to do jury work ;P though he has to fill out a questionnaire first
$30 a day, 9am-5pm. gay eh. worst pay i've heard of since chinese labourers being paid $2 per hour or just chinese employers in general
and jack has amazingly bad luck
getting selected for both this thing and malaysian national service
wow

and and guess what? before i started typing this up, i was doing my assignments (:
no distractions (other than msn) and my assignments aren't even due any time this week ^^
yea i dunno how i did it. i just did
maybe this is the start of something new
maths c assignment task 7: Construct a NEAT Fibonacci Spiral. To get all the marks it should be tastefully coloured or shaded.
=_= farout colouring/shading for maths? how retarded can this crap get?
i should probably ask one of my artistic friends to do this bit for me

happy birthday dad! sorry i didn't get you anything >.<
cbb this year. and 99% of my presents are pretty bad/useless anyway

[ -- eternal snow - by changin' my life
just the beginnning bit :) it's extremely catchy]

casino restaurant cheapos =_=

2010-10-03T02:45:00.000-07:00

today, jack went to watch despicable me, with his friends so was away from home for most of the day
when i got up, i was told to get to work
cleaning the moss off the bricks of the gate outside my home
the moss was mostly black... and so we had to spray bleach then scrub it very hard to get it off
tooook soooo long to get it off.. and i didn't even clean it completely
oh and one of the gate's pieces had apparently been taken off by somebody
and we superglued it back on... so it was unstable
i have a new grudge against the person who took it off =_="
so i spent about 1-2 hours scrubbing the crap off the bricks (which happen to be white)
so yea.. i finally got let off when it started raining

oh gay school starts tomorrow D:
haven't even started assignments.. though i just did 5 min worth of clarinet

went to casino today for dinnner
they banned blackjack (buffet) for under 18s =_="
that sucks. we went to cafe 21, which is like so expensive yet the meals barely have anything in them..
my mum got curry... which barely had any rice
she asked for more
farout they charged $7 for it >_<" freaking cheapos
there was only a little rice too.. and it wasn't very good either
so retarded
we only went there coz it's my dad's bday tomorrow
and we were using up some coupons ;P that jack and my parents got via gambling

oh and apparently if you want to get a job at a casino, you are banned from entering any casino in the whole of QLD
my mum told jack to get a job at the place, but he refused coz he wanted to go to the casino

*sigh* school tomorrow. need some tips for my englissh short story
and maths c may be a tad bit more complicated than i first though
soso i'm gonna sleep early

hope i'll be alright in life
good luck everyone with first day back to school!
if you're not going to school tomorrow.. then...
no fair! D:

driving lesson #2

2010-10-02T03:23:00.000-07:00

so i had my second driving lesson today
kinda learnt how to steer properly
and a little bit of acceleration-to-steer thing
oh and i did some reversing (:

had a blonde moment when i was changing lanes at one point
already indicated to change to left lane and i saw a black car in the rear mirror speeding up
and i was like: "that guy's speeding up. i can't change lanes"
instructor: "he's on the right hand side..."
yea gay =_="
coz of the rear mirror, i didn't see that he was actually on the right lane which meant nothing would've happened if i changed lanes *sigh*

oh and my instructor was teaching me the hill start
where you pull up the handbrake and accelerate a little constant so that when you put down the handbrake you won't roll backwards on an upwards slope
well i did this.. and when the light turned green, i pressed on the handbrake
and yep it failed
i got freakin worried about the cars behind me..
so i quickly got him to put the handbrake down for me *sigh*
at first, i thought i was too weak - which pissed me off
but now i realise.. you have to pull the handbrake up further before the button releases
though i haven't had the chance to retry yet

for dinner, my family went to the big gun restaurant with kelly's family
the big gun restaurant was a place where jack used to work..
and apparently he got sacked for being 'too slow' which.. doesn't make much sense at all

anyway on the way to the restaurant, jack was driving
and his mobile rang
he ended up trying to take it out of his pocket during a turn
and as a result, we almost crashed into a pole
my mum got freaking pissed and ended up kicking him out of the driver's seat
same on the way back... except this time it was because he didn't slow down sufficiently when told to
driving 55km/h in a 60 zone wasn't enough for her
so now my mum is in a bad mood D:
seems kinda retarded
oh crap the holidays are almost over !!
tomorrow's the last day..
i'm gonna try and do some work on my assignments

feels like a waste of the hols..

awesome outing (:

2010-09-30T01:36:00.000-07:00

so today was the movie outing
2nd outing of the hols
which isn't much... not anymore anyway

didn't realise that southbank movies open at 9 o.o
moving on..
despicable me got moved to 9:40.. giving us some extra time to regroup
group: me, matt, andrew, tony, gavin, ken joven, josephine, tiffany, priscilla and anna
most of the guys were assembled quite early
jo and tiff were like hanging out elsewhere apparently
while anna and priscilla were like slackers ;P
though anna wasn't as late

cinema 5 is huge. kinda like the karate kid one
the movie was really good (:
ppl were laughing within the first 5 min
after one of the first jokes, i wouldn't really care how good the rest would be
it would'v ebeen worth it anyway
even so, the rest was awesome too :D

after the movie, we walked to city, with really no plans at all
halfway through the girls met ppl they knew from mshs (maureen and shivaani)
and so matt and gavin ditched us tofind the former's mouthguard for kungfu i think
then we kinda got lost for a bit..
took a while to catch up

then we split up into groups of two to find eating
well not all of us were eating
me and gavin got sushi, a few others were eating sushi too. though we didn't see them
jo and tiff went soemwehrere.. i dunno quite where
while priscilla and anna went... window shopping? o.o
there was alot of issues with communication

we were meant to meet up at cue city when we were done
so our group (minus jo and tiff) were there.. kinda waiting for them to come
eventually our group got restless so we just started first
andrew and i played two games against priscilla and anna while the rest were playing a game amongst themselves
during the games, it was kinda tense coz jo was like ringing/texting me unexpectedly asking where we were and stuff.. and my calls couldn't get through
and she was like out of credit
and she found out who i was through one text and one prank call ;P
but yea.. they were like lost.. for quite a while
as for the games,
i think it was the girls' first time
though... after they figured out how to hit it.. they kept getting fluke shots D:
me and andrew almost lost the first game.. i think they only had one ball left when we finally hit the black in
as for the second game... andrew hit the black in beforehand so we automatically lost TT_TT
so it's 1-1.. we should get a rematch
unfortunately, anna left early to study at state library? while priscilla.. said something about learners

after that, i managed to get in contact with jo, and ended up going outside to look for them
they said casino and i found out they went the wrong way
how did i know? coz i used to think the same way
there are two streets that look very very similar... for quite a long time, i actually thought they were the same street
until i got suspicious of how far we had to walk to reach the same streets
but yea.. after a hugely long time. like an hour.. we finally got ahold of themm
then we played again (:
i think andrew and me vs jo and tiff
though tiff was reluctant to play at first.. ok well she was reluctant throughout the whole thing
but matt was like: "even if you don't play, you'll still have to pay" ;P
great negotiator (:

so yea.. we played a game. didn't have much time coz we were gonna go timezone afterwards
which i wasn't really informed of
tiff was messing around with the hands coz she didn't know you could use either hand
and jo was teaching her how to hit
actually went quite well. tiff actually made a solid hit on her first try..
most ppl usually miss it completely
matt was like taking pics of everyone..
oh and andrew was going like, "it's physics" and stuff like that
talking about how he doesn't even do physics.. though i must say he played quite well today
josephine is stil pro. quite awesome shots
we almost lost
the other guys were like betting on who would win. though i don't think it went through
though we managed to win by one ball! coz gavin pitched in and took out the black in one shot XD
everyone was like "woah!!"
oh well it was really fun. can't wait until next time we go pools

so we went timezone afterwards
good to see the girls didn't get lost
i found out that you lose all your money and powertickets if you don't play any games for a year o.o
so i was just blindly spraying credits on games today
man i spent alot... way more than i intended
i played daytona (i was pretty crap, though i managed to beat andrew and matt on my first go
{largely coz matt's machine was screwed up and really slow})
gavin's really good at the game.. i wonder how much time he's invested in this (quote from lucky star-ish?)
ken and gavin were upstairs playing tekken most of the time though
jo liked the guitar hero and tiff was just watching the whole time.. i don't think she even did anything
oh i played the basketball game. first time i think i got 48 .. you need 50 within the time limit to get to the next level
secodn time, i tried to link game with tony but the thing stuffed up and my game ended up starting beforehand =_="
but i still got 88 (: quite bad though
i got alot of powertickets! :D now to figure out what they're for..

matt and tony played point blank (the old-fashioned shooting game)
quite funny in some cases
especially when there was that really hard one (after tony already lost and matt had one life left)
he got one bullet to hit an apple on an old guy's head
the apple wasn't even moving..
matt went up to the screen to do a point blank and missed!! XD
that was like so fail
matt was basically funded/shouted by andrew/others
i also kinda played ddr.. though this retarded girl was like bothering me during it
so i lost =_=" frickin hell go die
jo, tiff, ken and tony ditched us after a bit
me, gavin, matt and andrew went up for tekken
gavin vs matt.. gavin owned matt of course
but then gavin got beat by some random that challenged him D;
*sigh*.. me and gavin then got slushies
from some place
i liked the one i got
cola flavour. i got matt to put as much as he could in it
mmmmmm $2.80 for large.. so worth it (at least while i'm out of school)

afterwards. we walked around
and ended up going to funhouse
where we mucked around a bit
as me and gavin were ddring again though, matt and andrew suddenly found out they had wasted too much time.. so they couldn't get home through sunnybank anymore
which kinda pissed matt off
they left rather quickly *sigh*
at least i did better with ddr this time round
too bad i can't swipe a card for it

i saw ting-han while i was waiting for my bus with gavin
i dunno why he keeps his hair curly nowadays
anyway today's outing was really really fun!! :D
bringing girls really does make a difference
i spent way too much.. i think more than $40 just for activities + food
then there was the recharging of gocard
which was quite alot
*sigh* i needa save up alot again after this
but still, i can't wait for another outing like this one!

starting to think about maybe working on some assignments..
since i've got nothing to do at home

first driving lesson - hate

2010-09-27T04:47:00.000-07:00

anyway so i had my first driving lesson today
got really confused within the first 5 min
with all the controls etc
you have to brake to adjust the handbrake and stuff o.o how gay
makes sense though
so many things you have to do at once
like.. look at mirror, look to side, flip indicator, brake accordingly, etc..
and that's just for one turn =_=
almost crashed plenty
i was rather surprised when after half an hour, my instructor told me to leave the avenue
which was kinda like the practice zone... and go onto the big roads o_O
since... i barely knew how to turn properly
and the braking stuff was gay..
in the end, i went in circles practicinig u-turns around sunnybank
actually went to plaza.. within the first hour
3 point turns are stupid
they're actually alot harder than they look
anyway driving sucks
the end

tzu chi camp day 2

2010-09-26T18:26:00.000-07:00

so it's day two (which was yesterday)

i wake up several times throughout the night..
each time, i struggle to get back to sleep
we were scheduled to get up at 6am.. so i really wanted my sleeep
then suddenly, i get woken up by someone's alarm (sounds like a watch)
i think: 'yea i know it's 6 already.. my phone will ring in a moment. so can that person just shut it off already?'
it took a while.. then i waited for my phone to ring
it didn't. after about 10 min, i reluctantly checked my phone
guess what time it was? 5:25!!! someone freaking set to wake up at 5:15am
when we only had to get up at 6am

after a while.. the place became excessively loud and i couldn't sleep anyway
the first thing we did before breakfast.. was do this dance thingy
one of the leaders was like teaching us the moves to it
the first thing she did, was the clap thing. then with knees crossed, she spun like twice and ended upstanding
everyone was like "wth.. so sudden. what was that?"
overall it was rather retarded as we couldn't remember anything..
and we had to like do the thing after one try
and we were just following the girl''s movements..
we kept going the wrong way .. kept bumping into each other by accident
and there was like no space.. rather squished
breakfast was nice. the meals are all quite good theere
though alot of waste again

we split into like two groups. our group consisted of like 8 teams
we had this pushup game. two teams per actual teams for the game
you had to do 20 pushups within your group.. for every 20 pushups, you get like one point
one point = one of those foldup thingies i was talking about before
i managed to do 40 pushups.. but for some reason, i thought that we get one point for every 13 push ups o.o
so.. i took 3. oh well doesn't matter. we lost anyway
for some reason, 2 of the other teams had like none of the foldup things in their zone at endgame o_o
maybe coz the other team was like taking them ;P
the judge walked over and said on the mike "how come you guys only have one point?"
oh and originally we were given a choice of whether to do pushups or situps
girls could do like fake pushups.. where their knees were on the ground = ="
but afterwards.. they said that guys had to do pushups , and girls do situps
so yea some guys were disappointed
for morning tea, we got like .. something. buns i think? with vegetables in them of course
and a bottle each of apple black tea
when i opened it.. it smelled like apple juice
me: *drinks* "it tastes like apple juice"
alex: "probably because it is apple juice"
johnny: "yea because it's apple black tea"
alex: "what? that's like saying chicken soup tastes like chicken"

after this strange event, we went to help out with recycling stuff
turned out to be next dooor o.o
but anyway.. we took soft drink cans out of a rubbish bag..
then pulled the cap thingies off and put them into a separate bucket
then crushed the cans and put them in another huge bag
the bucket is apparently coz the caps are made of a different material that's used for something else.. (heard from jack after i got back)
and yea the huge bag is for the recycling
hell the place stank. alot. i almost threw up after breathing in a bit of the place
apart from that.. and the little things that came up like someone dropping a can that had a bit of drink left in it, which sprayed at me =_=", it was rather fun
throwing the thing into the bucket was like target practice
while crushing the cans was quite nice
though one of them did get stuck to my shoe TT_TT so stupid
nora got scared of a huge snail that happened to be in the main bag.
teresa was like "that thing is so small and you're THIS big! how can you be scared of it?"
something like that..

for lunch there, we had something different
we ate in the hall this time. though.. we didn't really eat until later
first it was kinda like a competition. where we had like tomato, avocado, fake ham, carrots, capsicum (green and red), lettuce, caesar sauce, thousand island and mayonaise sauces, apple (which was cut into a mini rose shape) as well as some other stuff like bread
oh and nuts, sultanas and stuff like that
we had to make a meal for our big leader (charles) as a sign of respect since he's like an elder
so yep that's what we did
in the end each group had to show everyone else. and explain why we put certain stuff in
alot of ppl did smiley faces on their food
and then we got to make our own sandwiches with leftovers
even though we had to wait like 2 hours to eat.. it was still fun
though nobody could eat the leftovers so i ended up eating two sandwiches o.o
i'm eating too much
we also got separate bowls of rice and stuff afterwards
which tasted good as usual
i feel kinda sorry for the group who used up basically all their ingredients for their leader's share
they wouldn't have any of it to eat
and one of the teams who presented their tiny dish to the leader added sometheing like "our dish is made of quality. not quantity. unlike that group over there" *points to the one with all ingredients used up*
though with ingredients like these, i'd be quite satisfied with quantity (:

oh and we did the play.. argghhh it was gay!! we got like 30 min preparation this day
and then.. yea i thinkwe actually did this BEFORE lunch but yea whatever
our play - written by nora- was something like this:
a kid used to be a good boy. not causing any trouble
then when he becomes teen, he has really bad manners etc
and gets into all sorts of trouble. hangs out with the wrong ppl
so i'm the dad when he's a teeen. my first scene was opening the door for the kid then getting rejected by him
second was like police station and bailing him out
third was when he returned back to normal and i hug him
somethign like that
it went prety crap
i didn't even know the kid personally and when i opened the 'door' for him, he suddenly said something really fast
which made the audience laugh.. and me look like a retard
i didn't even know what he said
amy chang was the mum. she looked really familiar
later i heard from jack that she probably used to go to robertson
anyway i let her do most of the talking since my chinese is so bad
it turned out alright in the end. though as we're like sitting down at the end, the little kids go up on stage and ddance to the weird song that's stuck in my head
while we're sitting there on stage... doing nothing
felt rather weird
i saw a bit of this scene where alex was a mugger
like a good friend of the main kid - trouble maker guy
and where he stole the purse of a girl in the cast
and did a "ninja roll" (: quite cool

and then we watched the other groups' performances
they were all really confusing and weird
except david wu's group
his was funny as ;P
the moral was clear: don't litter
there were three ppl up there with leaves and stuff (one was david wu)
they were meant to be trees. then you see ppl come with fake axes and chop the trees down
the other two (i think they were girls) got cut down in like one or two hits
while david was like scratching whenever he got hit ;P
since he's a big guy, it makes sense XD
it was hilarious

the last thing we did was like watch some presentations and some speeches by ppl about the camp
and everyone received a certificate thingy with a picture of their group
and something that johnny stated to be "evidence that we have survived these two days"
makes it sound like we went to some training camp o_O
then afterwards, we had a whole camp photo
kinda retarded.. since i couldn't be seen etc

when leaving.. we left early
i think i left a few things behind by accident. oh well
and we arrived back at the tzu chi place early
like 40-50 min early. oh well it was alright
though most of the friends i made on the trip managed to leave early
and yep that was basically how the trip went
oh and now it's monday.. my arms and legs still feel dead
i wonder if they'll ever get better
and i have a driving lesson in 30 min D:
yea it's 1:30 atm
i wonder if death has come early

tzu chi camp day 1

2010-09-26T01:46:00.000-07:00

first of all, happy birthday to aaron sinnathamby (:

anyway i'm back from my tzu chi camp to the gold coast
it was really epic

so much stuff happened over the past two days
well here it goes..

25 sep: day 1
wake up at 6:30am to make sure i'm in time for the bus
we make it quite easily... though afterwards, i discover that i forgot my pjs = ="
anyway after alot of work, i finally find my group etc and yea

my group didn't look like a nice bunch at first.. but i sooon got to know them-ish

my group members included: alex tran, alan wee, johnny chiu (last name -> i think), nora chen, teresa chiu (last name <- i think), jennifer yang and alina zhou (though she was already at the gold coast)

apart from johnny (grade 12), the rest of us guys are year 11
and all the girls are like grade 9 o_o i wonder how they split the ppl into groups
anyway the place was at the gold coast, but we stopped by some place on the way

there were 3 buses: we were bus 1
each bus stopped at different places... but our bus stoppped at ... i dunno where
just that we were helping with weeding and planting trees
we got this paper that we had to sign to give some ppl permission to take photos of us
jennifer actually wrote "nao. kthanks" o_o rather hilarious though
we got a tour around the place.. which was rather boring
a white guy talked about the trees and the parks and some stuff..
at one point, there were heaps of bugs flying around
and someone said to another: "don't open your mouth unnecessarily or bugs will fly into your mouth"
after that, i tried to make sure i closed my mouth at all times

the planting of trees was alright. screwed up at times..
the weeds were a bit messy.. my pants got really dirty
alex and alan walked a long way.... to the petrol station for toilet
and apparently the white lady there was staring at the sheer number of them ;P
they managed to skip out on like all of the weeding =.=
waggerss

after alot of work, we went back on the bus to the venue
alan kept asking about what a bulldozer is called in chinese
when ppl said "qing wen..." (may i ask...) something something,
alex kept asking "qing wen.. is that a fruit?"
and the medium leadder kept explaining about it
i think alex knew what it was though
it was like a mansion - HUGE! and once we entered.. it was like timber floors and stuff
so rich (though i later found out that the timber was fake)
there were these little foldup mat thingies.. that were surprisingly comfy
i really wonder who invented them :D gotta thank them

every time we have a main meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner), we sing this song while walking to the dining place slowly with our hands put together - this song is repeated until everyone is completely standing behind their respective chairs
it takes a dreadfully long time.. though i'm alright with it
then afterwards, we face this wall thingy then sing this other song (just once)
then we get to eat
there's no meat in anything
the first time, me and jennifer ended up getting separated from the rest of our group
the foood was prettty good
had like rice.. vegetables.. corn, carrot, peas.. and some fake meat stuff
we had heaps of waste at our table = =
only two guys at this table.. only one girl ate the whole share
the rest of them put like between 40 - 80% of their share into the middle plate
btw this place is completely waste free
you weren't meant to leave a single grain of rice. they put cartons under the sink to prevent wastage of water (though doesn't realy work imo)
they took unused tissues back
the list goes on..

we did rotational activities at one point. our first one was an obstacle course..
had to put a book on your head, and do the course, where at the endd, you sign your name on the paper thing at the end
a few ppl, such as johnny, made it all the way to the end, but as hhe was about to write his name, the book fell off and he was like raging ;P
you were meant to start again if your book fell off but no one cared. they just put it back on their heads
me too ;) since this thing is basically impossible to do without cheating

the next one was like learning table manners.. e.g. picking up the chair when pulling it out. entering from the left side. putting two fingers on the table as you're sitting down. no putting feet up. picking up chopsticks in a weird fashion. put hands on bowl properly (fingers not spread out otherwise you'll seem like a beggar). no eating while talking.. etc. two leaders gave us examples of bad eaters. pretty funny

as for the last rotation.. i forgot what we did. just that we went into the main hall
oh wait. we were like learning how to do the pusah thingy. the one where you bow..
then on the third bow, you put your hands into this symbol thingy then bring it to your face, then put it down into the clap thingy (you know the one you usually see buddha with)
that can't have been all.. but i don't remmeber the rest

we had some random activity at some point..
two teams team up. kinda like relays
except only 2 ppl from each team had to run. and it was one girl carry another girl, and one guy carry another guy
really stupid. while the rest of us were meant to be like 'mabu' and massaging the person in front of us O_o when the music stopped, we were meant to get down immediately
first person to have whole group sit down was the winner
no one paid attention to the mabu and massaging thing
in our group, alan carried alex
coz alex proclaimed that at school, alan always carried him up the stairs and stuff just for fun ;P
what a tank. since alex is like 178cm

for afternooon tea, we had these thingies.. like.. dimsim sorta. dunno what they're called
but you can get them at yumcha places
anyway , i found them alright, while alex stated that: "the taste is alright.. but the texture makes it feel weird" - hence he gave them to me o_o
jenny saw and tried to give me hers too
i was too full so yea.. she was forced to eat hers. first she broke it into tiny pieces.. ate the small bits at lightning speed. then struggled with the last part.. she kept it in her mouth for like 10 min
ppl in the group started asking her: "are you alright? do you want water?"
yea.. she looked like she was about to throw up o.O it wasn't that bad honestly

shower times were screwed up so we just went in whenever
we had like a 3 min time limit.. so we were all like rushing
i managed to wash myself properly... not many others were able to
dinner was alright. food was quite nice as usual
i think this was the first time we were all together as a group
and there was milk tea!! homemade! plus we could add our own pearls.. which i thought was red bean at first. maybe black bean
as for the milk tea.. i didn't even get any. the line was sooo long
it went out the door D: that's like 30 ppl long. and every time i looked back, the length looked exactly the same.
i kinda completely forgot about it after dinner *sigh*
and it was apparently really goood.. which i didn't hear much from my group members throughout the camp

afterwards we were in the main hall listening to speeches, participating in activities and watching videos on the big screen
at one point, there was this video.. that talked about how there was this teenager who liked music
and his dad said no to it
but he kept going.. eventually becoming quite famous within his school and stuff
when the dad noticed, he kicked him out
then after a long time... the kid became famous and invited hhis dad to a concert of his
it was extremely emotional.
then the dad was like driving to the concert.. and ended up getting into a collision with a truck
then suddenly it talks about the things they could've done..
everyone was like "so sad..."
then it says "Thai Life Insurance" on the screen and everyone goes "what the helll..." ;P
so hilarious, yet.. kinda ruined the moment

there was also this dress up game
they gave us a criteria and we had to follow it
e.g. good looking and suitable person
we had to choose one person in our team and dress him/her up from various items that we could use from around the place
for this one, we chose alex. he looked really weird ;P especially with the black jumper that made him look anorexic. oh and those half-gloves. and the shirt that was used as an apron (;
there were some pretty funny competitors for this
one of them dressed as a yakuza, another was lady gaga ;P though... it was a guy dressed up as that..so..
transvestite much? o_O

teresa got picked for the next one which was like "business person"
we kinda ran out of stuff.. and there was a time limit
so we used a tie for a belt (since the pants were too big) and the jacket wasn't even business-style
so in the end.. she didn't even get noticed
maybe coz we took too long and the judges already picked the winner before she turned around?

another game we played was a weird one..
two ppl join together (dubbed father, mother, brother or sister)
one puts hands on hips, the other slips arms through the gap and treat as their own arms
alex had my arms... so it was weird (since he's like the troublemaking type)
ended up tickling ppl in and not in our group
fortunately i wasn't the one who got punished (:
then we had to do things in these groups
e.g. father had to put a coat on (impossible to do so properly)
then the mother had to feed the father a banana? o.o which was weird..
first time i've been fed by someone since i was a baby

oh and our medium leader (i don't think i've ever been told her name)
always scolded alan and alex for doing stuff.. alex always yells out "da jie bie da le!"
or translation: "big sis. don't hit me anymore!" (something like that)
pretty funny. since he's accusing her of something she hasn't done.. and she can't do anything about it

we also got picked for activity thingies. groups 1, 5, 9 and 13 got picked for a play.. etc..
there are 16 groups. 4 activities. i'm in group 9. jack's in group 13. it was so gay TT_TT
yea i got picked for the role of the dad after the time skip = ="
wasn't even expecting it..
alex and alan got to dub.. no fair
the play was to be performed the next day.. the script wasn't even written yet
nora was meant to write the script

we were scheduled to sleep at 10pm. and wake at 6am
due to some random crap that happened.. we stayed up until.. 10:30pm
(i say 10:30... jack says it was 11:30)
girls sleep upstairs in rooms
while guys sleep in the hall
i think johnny mentioned a plausible point: "girls are upstairs so that they are protected from us" ;P

so we set up sleeping bags asap and attempted sleeping
i used my jacket as a pillow.. which killed my head
so i took out my towel and added that on top... which still didn't fix up the problem
in the end, i woke up several times throughout the night.. *sigh*
occasionally shifting to one side .. it was really loud for a long time so i couldn't sleep

and that's day 1
i'll write day 2 when i feel like it.. even though it happened today
and i'll probably forget everything that happened

atm.. my arms and legs feel like mush. can't do anything
wonder if they'll be better by tomorrow

[yesterday (day 1) -- hitomi no kotae - by noria]

preparation for camp

2010-09-24T02:35:00.000-07:00

another holiday day passes
it still hurts alot behind my knee = ="
loooking for another anime
kiba is getting alittle boring at ep 22.. and valkyria chronicles ain't fantasy D:
hmm maybe i'll watch lucky star for some comedy :)

jack got a haircut. he looks.. weirder now
it's all preparation for the camp tomorrow. have to get there at 7:30 am..
and i don't even know where we're going. just somewhere in salisbury... dunno where that is
and my mum is kinda worried that we won't get there on time
they said that they'll leave without us if we're late
as for the packing... it's 7:40pm and i haven't started ;P
and i'm not sure when i'll start..
and i dunno what to wear. i got the pants.. but confused about the shirt
last night i got a mysterious phone call.. the voice message was unfamiliar
but then i did reckon that it might be tzuchi leader calling so i aactualy texted back
today, the guy called again. turns out i was right
he told me about everything i needed.. problem: he was speaking chinese?
so .. i didn't really get most of what he said. hopefullly my mum heard and can help me organise the stuff
oh and i think he said we needed like a blue shirt. *sigh*
rachie says we have to buy a uniform for $5 and change into it
dunno who's right.. i'm just gonna bring $5 and wear a blue shirt just in case
anyway see you ppl on sunday afternoon maybe
or laters

mini outing

2010-09-23T02:08:00.000-07:00

alot of things happened today
had the outing at movies with bshs friends. anna pulled out at the last moment, and there were no additions from her
so it was just us.... quite a small group. me, anisha, joseph, flavius, minh and tim
we were gonna decide on a movie but it just so happened that there were no good movies on near 11... except for 'tomorrow, when the war began', which happpened to sell out just as we were lining up
also happened that samuel came to the movies today with mshs ppl nelson, catherine, annika and sian
others who came include the 'almost' complete asian bench: david wu, anna go, sammy kung, geoffrey kiem, fergus tse, yvonne lee, justin tan, galen lau, etc.. their group was so much bigger than ours
they also couldn't decide on a movie so they left first. we ended up just walking to city and eating/playing ppoools
minh, tim and anisha didn't know how to play... while the others of us could hit properly

we ended up watching sorceror's apprentice. wasn't actually half bad
though my opinion is rather biased as i like magic/fantasy/supernatural
the action was really cool, though the ending, as always, was quite 'abrupt'
i always think the boss fight should always be the longest and have the most twists
as this is how it works in anime, games, etc
anyway, i liked the movie
samuel and his group were in the same cinema as us for this movie

after that, minh and tim went home. the rest of us went to revisit the pools billiard
it wasn't that bad, though i feel really bad atm coz we got ripped off by the korean =_="
$16 per hour.. then $2 for every 5 min after that? that's just outrageous
that's like a $24/hour rate
so stupid

oh and i ended up running out of money in my go card.. *sigh*
came up with 'insufficient $' on the bus that i followed my friends on (199)
i uhh... just kept walking TT_TT sooo lucky that the bus driver either:
a) didn't notice
b) just happened to let me pass

and this is probably the last outing of the week.
camping on saturday i think, and then matt's outing on thursday
what a waste of the holidays.. hope i watch enough anime to fool me into thinking i've done something

damn it hurts behind my knee.. thought it'd heal up but it hasn't
maybe i've been standing too much
though that would mean that i've been standing on my right leg only the majority of the time

gundam (:

2010-09-22T02:12:00.001-07:00

happy zhong qiu jie! (mid-autumn festival)
had mooncake. i don't really like them, but i didn't know there was pineapple flavour (:
didn't really like that one either .. though at least i wasn't struggling to swallow

had a few weird dreams lately.. 2 nights ago, had one about the english short story due date moved forward.. specifically, the last day of term 3? and i ended up handing in a draft = ="
i was in the staff room, kinda arguing with the teacher
though i did happen to get an A-, which is kinda better than any finished assessment i've had this year? so.... even though it was a draft, i still did well (:
too bad it was just a dream =_=
can't remember what i dreamed of last night. just remembered it was something goood .. i think

i was banned from comp yesterday so i spent like 4.5ish hours building the gundam model colin lent me :D
took me long enough
it's been sitting here for several months i think
it's a 1/100 size. quite enjoyable actually
though... shame it's gundam 00 rather than seed
seed's my favourite

i made several errors in my work D: like... one time, i didn't see something
so i had to take it apart and fix it. then i broke it TT_TT
fortunately, it happened to not have too much influence on it
then i put the glass thingy in the wrong way.. didn't even notice.. so now it's like stuck
and i can't take it out nor push it in
then there's the sticker.. i think i screwed up
i spent like 10 min trying to figure out what the katakana "a" meant..
in the end, i chose a random sticker and was about to put it on when i realised that i had chosen the katakana "i" = ="
even though i've learnt jap for 3 years, i didn't realise such a simple thing..
so much trouble comes from building gundams. it requires alot of patience
i have a newfound respect for those that are good at it (:
i'm only half done and the lounge is currently a "no-enter zone" due to the mess on the floor
but i've taken a few pics :D

didn't realise that seravee has hands on its knees.. that is so wrong

started the anime 'kiba' today (: oh and caught up with fairy tail
they left it at a standstill point = =
hate it when they do that..

kinda loooking forward to the outing tomorrow
though i wonder how many ppl are going, what movie we're gonna watch, and what we're actually gonna do after the movie

oh ye also looking forward to the cruise at the end of the year i think
there will be free restaurants :D i'm going for jap food (:

happy birthday to 'dominic is cool' rozells for yesterday (: that's the name he put on my phone
hope you had a great day dude

happy holidays ppl!

wasteful time spending

2010-09-20T04:51:00.000-07:00

not much happened today.
another whole day of anime
watching melancholy of haruhi suzumiya season 2. though caitlin mentioned that it got kinda stuffed up
finished k-on season 2. at least up to ep 24
currently watching ga-rei zero (: it's alright so far. though.. how should i put it..
maybe slightly confusing at times

auntie and uncle left our home today. i only realised like 20 min before they left = =
dunno why no one tells me these things..
oh well they're coming back in like a month so it's all good (:
oh and uncle showed me a pic of their newborn baby grand daughter
currently 5ish months old. rather cute
and uncle said he'll bring her over when she's 2 years old
not sure if he's serious. but i guess that'd be nice
maybe i'd get a little responsible for once.
and hopefully not end up getting her killed TT_TT

anyway with the outings stuff.. so confusing atm
still recruiting pppl so yea

sigh

2010-09-19T04:28:00.001-07:00

2nd day of hols
i can't believe that at one point, i actually thought today was the first
anyway i've spent 90% of my waking hours watching anime
literally.
that's the first time in my foreseeable memory (if that makes sense)
that i have been allowed to do so
without doing any chores, etc
and frankly, i don't feel overjoyed or anything. rather, bored.

i did manage to watch almost 20 episodes of anime
almost finished umineko no naku koro ni
it's become overwhelmingly confusing. people who are dead come back to life
and the timeframes are screwed up. keeps switching between past/present/future unexpectedly.. don't even know what's going on
and there are 4 eps left.
oh and it gets rather gory at some points.. at least i think so
fortunately, youtube pixelates (:

afterwards, we had like a gambling session. of blackjack, roulette, backarat and texas hold'em poker
blackjack.. i lost a litle, but my dad and uncle lost everything so we quit
roulette.. was weird. though i was the only one who was winning money
auntie and uncle both lost theirs
backarat.. was screwed up. so we quit after 5 min
texas.. me and jack were winning. but then after dad and uncle lost, we just stopped
jack got really lucky with that frickin straight flush D:
took away 90% of my chips in one go.. i just had a flush.

thinking about another outing with anisha, tim etc.
movies. though we don't know of many that may come.

and i'm not in rachie's group for tzu chi camp = ="
even though i wrote "Please put me in Rachel Chen's group."
apparently you had to put "MUST HAVE TO" or something similar
kinda like a threat... iin order for them to listen to your request
anyway, i hope i'll get a good group

*sigh* i wonder why everyone is ignoring me today
i can tell that it's on purpose. i'm not stupid. it's over 90% chance that it's on purpose. but i feel bad. though i don't really know what their intentions are
maybe i'm annnoying or something
i really hope everything gets back to normal real soon..

first day of hols.

2010-09-18T04:19:00.000-07:00

first real day of the hols (:
first time i've slept in in a long time... didn't seem very worth it

i was responsible for seting up a light thingy.
but when i had almost finished, i found out that the box didn't supply light bulbs =_="
spent alot of time going through lightbulbs looking for the right size and type
took forever. and i only found one
i needed two *sigh* so basically only one of the lights work so far
other than that, i've been watching animes all day
currently watching 'kaze no stigma' coz it's got a top rating on animekuro and it's about superpowers/fantasy/supernatural/magic stuff (: which are kinda like my favourite genre ish (as long as they're like elemental, or don't look too kiddy)
and also watching 'umineko no naku koro ni'
because i heard from someone/somewhere that it was good
and because i recognised episode 1... even though i'd never even heard of the name at the time
though i'm up to episode 4 atm, and i don't recognise any of it.
looks intersting though. nothing too 'scary' yet. even though the genre is horror
oh! except... the little girl maria's face is freaky at times o_o"
as if maria is beatrice the witch....
but atm, she's getting punched around by battler. so i'm not sure anymore...

oh wow. beatrice is real o.o i saw the golden butterflies~ or were those fake?

afterwards we went out to dinner with felix and maro
the food was alright. a new place nearby at sunnybank hills... near shopping town

ahhh my holidays are so bare... nothing to do
looking for outings to go to.. anyone got any???
i'll go to almost any.

work exp hopeless

2010-09-17T01:40:00.000-07:00

today... another day
i didn't really know what to do. so i called brandon
hopefully i wasted alotof money from the mobile
in the end, i went again. this was all decided by the flip of a coin

at first , we did some serving and putting out stock with caitlin and margaret
it finished quite quickly. brandon tried using the bubblewrap as a glove
which failed quite bad. he did some popping (:
after that, we did labelling...
it was so bad. after about an hour, i had only done 3 labels... so shameful
i realised that even with all of us, we wouldn't finish after the whole day

but then i found the labels for inside. or rather brandon and caitlin did
so it progressed quicker after a bit. it was hard work
as usual, brandon raced to use the till at any opportunity
while caitlin enjoyed ripping off receipts

during lunch, i had noodles. gave the meat to brandon, since he looked like he wanted it
caitlin was texting the whole time, and thus ate extremely slowly
as she seemed preoccupied, me and brandon had a walk around by ourselves
talking about anime, etc, then walking around in a circle and back to the start
only then did caitlin actually finish eating o.o
sooo slowww ;P
oh and margaret's shift was over when we were eating.

afterwards, we did little. finished off some labelling
though brandon didn't do it with us. he just... served customers and sat down while waitning
then caitlin 'attempted' to teach me pen tricks. since she is so pro
brandon was just staring at us with a "show offs" look
though i only know one trick, so i can't really be considered even a beginner
they have pen trick competitions in japan O_O wow.. they got the weirdest stuff ;P
and i can't even do charge D:
which caitlin called "the easiest".. which she completed in one business hour
and she learnt the normal flick in 2 days..
matt taught me last year. and i only learnt how to do it properly in term 1 this year.. took me about half a year to learn such a simple thing
this means i learn too slow = =
oh and brandon was talking about this 50c coin with a ram head on it
he said it was 'rare' so told me to keep it. i just gave it to him (:
coz... i seriously dunno what to do with all the coins i've already collected since i was little. no way i'll know whwat to do with another one

list of animes that i can watch/rewatch: gintama, fairy tail, melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, arakawa under the bridge.. there's more
look forward to: beelzebub. (or read the manga)
oh and.. caitlin told me to watch K-On!! if i was desperate D:
i think it's pretty good though... her standards are very very high..
and yet she won't tell me any good animes that she's seen
life blows

caitlin's mum works at a smiths chips factory! that's pretty cool
and family/friends get to have a special tourr...
awww sounds fun. i wanna go.

after we ditched mei, me and brandon stopped by mcdonalds on the way home
brandon was going to north shore so yea
he bought 7 wraps! (the $2 ones)
7!!!! how much does he eat?! but yea he gave me two..
they weren't that bad
overall, i guess i didn't waste my day completely
i wish it could've continued longer...
it was fun while it lasted

oh btw the title of this post.. basically means that i'm weighing down the others today

work experience assist

2010-09-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

first day of the holidays (:
and i went with brandon and my dad to work
towards the beginning, we did a little, served a few customers
caitlin arrived surprisingly early. 9:20 ish?

we did a little bit of work at first, but then we started running out of things to do
i dunno about the others... but it was alot of fun :D
half the time, brandon was sitting on the floor playing with the hand sanitiser
until my dad told him that it was "unprofessional"
then he tried to sleep on three of the chairs.. until he was wary that someone may have farted on it ;P maybe himself..
and we talked about heaps. i learnt alot today
despite the fact that i used to work there quite often..
hmm i really should learn completely as to how to do the prescribing
then i would be able to supervise them properly
caitlin and brandon were at one point, cramming their booklets
brandon's writing is illegible...
caitlin's writing is.. neat (:
even though she said she writes really messy with pencil

after a bit, mr prasad came. and he recognised me almost immediately ;O
and then he met my dad, and told great things about me to him
98% of which weren't actually true in my opinion..
but yea it was nicee
he's an awesome teacher :D maybe coz he gives me A+s
and yea , even though it's hard to understand him sometimes
i like his teaching methods
and the way he gives us unbelievably hard questions
it forces me to challenge myself

what we did included: greeting customers, using the till, using the credit card machine, prescribing (well.. they didn't really do it), cleaning, putting out stock, reading a magazine that my dad told us to read (i didn't really get a chance to read it...), talking amongst ourselves, sitting down, standing up, and eating!
alot of work eh
oh and caitlin's used up alot of her phone money on texting ;P
but yea.. i have heaps leftover TT_TT
need to use it somehow.. productively
overall... ithink i failed with my assisting D:

oh and sorry guys, my dad changed his mind. he's not coming tomorrow
you probably won't see this until it's over though
but i'm gonna try to come! it's so much fun watching you guys fail (:
i need a lift brandon

today was what i would call a "make or break" day
it made it.

prefect votes are out . most of the ppl i voted for got it
except paul o.o i wonder what happened.. he's pro
and why the hell is maths B assignment extended to next term = =
at least nipuna said so... dunno abaout the other classes
oh well. hope i enjoy my holidays

happy birthday zubayr! :) good luck with driivng

school's out (:

2010-09-15T02:51:00.000-07:00

this morning, i had a physics exam at 7:30
it was a realy busy day. before school, i stopped by J block to give in my hard copy of the economics practice essay.. since teacher didn't get the last one through email

by the time i got to class, i was sweating and puffing.. and the exam had already started. that's late to two physics exams in a row = =

the moment i opened the first page... oh it's a diagram. looks easy enough
*spends another 5 min on it* this looks harder than i thought... *skip*
hmm question 2.. this looks easier... *answeres part a*
question b is basically the same *attempts part b.. then gets impossible answer*
.... maybe i'll skip this and come back to it
*turns over page* ooh it's a pendulum.. maybe i'll get this one..
hey.. what's all this stuff about acceleration. what's it talking about?
this is confusing..... i have no idea how to do this theoretically.
*next page* ooh it's a graph. that's more simple
next few questions.. ask about the previous page... fail *skip*
last page... oh no it looks hard. if it says anything about numbers... i'm screwed.
oh wait. it just says explain. easy!

so basically.. on the first try, i could only get the 2nd q part a and the last q.
we really were given 90 min. but by the end, i was still unable to do q 1 TT_TT
i literally spent over 40 min on it. it was able a quarter circle that led to a horizontal track, which had a spring attached to the end.
we had radius of circle, length of horizontal track, friction values, and the spring extension. oh and mass. and we had to find the spring constant...
hell that's screwed up. i was trying to recall a formula.. which would help me through it
no luck.
so annoyued about it
soon.. i found out that the circular part actually pointed upwards. which means that you could have used gravity to find energy.. etc etc..
anyway i'm over the blabbing

had so much things i had to do..
liste: handing in maths B assignment. handing in note for absence. telling mr ruben about absence. handing in economics practice essay before school. going to physics exam. going to economics exam. studying for economics essay. giving english short stoyr draft to teacher

i'm so proud of myself for actually remembering to do all of these things!
except the last one... didn't end up doing it coz teacher wasn't at staffroom at the time. oh well

oh yea accounting results. i got 100% (: i guess if i got anything wrong.. i'd be quite annoyed

then economics essay... ahhhh i ended up highlighting addition stuff on my stimulus DURING the essay.. = =
it was the gayest thing. and i forgot whwat to write for the intro... whoops
oh and i got chocolate (; but yea i forgot to eat it during the thing
ended up giving it to szeyan
at least she accepted it this time

it was last ecn lesson for this term and miss mcgarry's last time, so we wrote like a letter thingy. i waited ages for it. noah ditched me during that time
anyway, it was an alright day.
last day of school!!
going to help brandon and caitlin at work exp tomorrow
hopefully it'll be alot of fun

last week day 2

2010-09-14T04:02:00.000-07:00

today was very bland
i was kinda in a goood mood for most of the day
it's somewhat deteriorated atm though

spent most of the lessons at school studying for the physics exam in period 4
for maths C.. i got 3 Xs so far :D q2 isn't marked yet, but i'm pretty sure i got at least A for it

my short story for eng is turning out so bad... i'm getting some friends to check it but.. not looking good. brandon didn't even get past the first paragraph = =

physics exam was alright.. there were a few corrections to be made to some of the questions via use of the board. apparently i didn't realise a correction of one of them... therefore got diff answers to everyone else
hope mr salama can let me off...
other than that, and the fact that i couldn't do some multiple choice qs.. i think i went alright (:

went to garbo afterwards. doing maths B assignment in the library
saw justin tan and some of his friends there studying.... or so it seemed at first ;P
szeyan seems alot more spaced out than usual

ahhhhh crap two exams tomorrow
physics exam before school 7:40 ish..
economics is last period
so much work to do. so little time D:

update on lifee

2010-09-13T03:10:00.000-07:00

first day of the last week of term 3! can't wait until this week is over
have an english assignmnet draft due tomorrow-ish, maths B assignment due by thursday, a physics exam on tomorrow, another physics exam on wednesday (at 7:45 in the morning) and an economics stimulus essay on wednesday =_="
a jampacked week. today's my only day off
gotta get some work done i guess

at school when i asked noah how the physics exam was, he had the most depressed look i've ever seen him have
and he answered "study for it"
basically i freaked out. as much as i can freak out..
afterwards at garbo, he told me that he didn't actually do too bad
and he didn't know why he was feeling down. possibly coz of the chem EEI due tomorrow
and i don't do chem~
so i'm basically let off the hook

today was also the first day of work exp for my fellow mansfielders
hope you guys had fun
met szeyan at garbo. though... she walks too fast = =
farout. by the time i stuffed my pencil into its case, she was already 50 metres away
also saw gavin's mum and dad there. they were shopping or something

i hear that brandon and caitlin didn't have much to do at my dad's place...
i feel like i've let them down D:
so yea... feeling a little down atm
it's just that.... not enough experience? so.. you can't do most of the very important jobs.. that's all. i'll see what i can do though

oh yea. uncle da wu and auntie have come back to visit us again.
they're staying here agian for... 2 weeks ish?
yea it'll be lots of fun hopefully
oh and karshing's mum has finally shown that she recognises me
thought she either forgot or something..

[ -- no, thank you! - by yoko hikasa]

another badminton session

2010-09-12T03:29:00.000-07:00

badminton today.
my first game... was rather goood
i played quite well compared to normal
i was very satisfied, as two pros were playing too
we won 21/19.
the next few games weren't so good D:
i dunno why..
and we are meant to play at least once in every two games
at one point... i didn't play for 5 games straight.. they just left me out

oh and no one's seen matt's jacket.. at least not the leader guy
they said that we have to contact the school if we want to find it
good luck matt
there's no badminton for the next two weeks coz of some renovation

after badminton, colin and my family went to little taipei
had sizzling steak thingy. spaghetti :D
ended up having like 1.5 meals.. since colin said he didn't want any.. but then he took some of mine. then we got an extra meal afterwards and split it
complicated i know

finished typing up my economics practice essay and sent to ms nava (:
i have my english.... i still don't know when it's due = =
it could be due tomorrow..
at least i've started . but only just
my story has been chosen.. sort of.
but that's about all i've done. hopefully it's not due tomorrow..
or i'm screwed. realy bad

happy birthday matthew lane and steph holm (:
hope you ppl are doing well in life

laser skirmish aagain

2010-09-11T19:57:00.000-07:00

yesterday i went to laser skirmish for chris's rather late birthday party
first off, leo came to my place (coz he doesn't know how to take a bus..)
we watched some fairy tail (:
after a bit, we left via bus. at one of the stops, i realised taht there were 2 babies in prams on the bus..
on normal buses, there's only room for 2. but then another one came on
the bus driver spent like 10 min at just that stop, moving the prams around
i had no idea what he was doing. just that he was wasting lots of precious time D:

we then proceeded to miss the 180 bus. we had to wait another 25ish min coz of that.
leo is asthmatic too D: so many asthmatics these days..

oh and it turns out 4 games of laser skirmish is $48.. not $40. so i was basically out of money by the end of it
first we played two games of capture the hill
the objective is to shoot the enemy (obviously~)
and at end game, whoever's team has the most living ppl within hands reach of the flag in the middle of the field, is the winner
this was by far my favourite game
i managed to find a nice group of trees that made it easy for me to hide, but also had a great view of the enemy
got 22 hits and 6 kills in 15 min (:
beat all my friends this round

2nd game.. we went from the other side. so we basically swapped ends
i was pissed at the beginning coz i died so fast. i think i died about 3 times before i even got a hit. did manage to get 17 hits, 3 kills by the end
most of these were in the last 5 min. i like capture the hil the best now

third one was this one where it was like australians vs japanese
we were the aussies
we had to force the japs back 3 bases and take over their territory
i didn't like this one = ="
maybe coz i suck. and i couldn't even see them. this one lasted 30 min, but i only got 3 hits. no kills D:
and one of those hits.. i got by spraying :D
but yea this one was retarded.whenver i died , had to run down the hill to respawn.then run back up again .. so much walking. my legs were basically dead

4th game wasn't so bad. also a 30 min game. but i still didn't like it as much as capture the hill
the objecive was to find a black op box (meant to be orange, but an ex - staff member lost it a while back. so now they're using white) and secure it by end game. it's not supposed ot be moved though. so yea.
honestly, i don't give a crap about the missions and objectives.
the reason i play is to hit and kill ^^
not many ppl played the last game coz it costed significantly more than the others
so it was us against a group of 8 - 9 guys. (some of whom i recognise from mshs)
because of this, they evened out the teams by giving them 3 pros, and 6 pros to us
they all had their own guns, which was pretty cool

karshing mentioned that when normal ppl get hit, they duck. but when pros get hit, they automatically shoot in the direction it came from and attempt to kill before getting killed ^^'
too pro for me~

anyway during the 4th game, gavin managed to find the white box at some point, yell out to teammates, and so many pros rushed at him to defend the box (:
rather sparkling mooment
what was i doing at the time?
walking up and down the hill continuously after getting killed so many times
managed to get 6 hits and 2 kills but i think i died about 7ish times
the guy who organised our games (codename - plan) siad that we should try to get more kills than deaths. i failed

after the games, we went to market square for dinner (:
it was me, leo, gavin, karshing, chris, darren and addition of anthony tierney
we spent 20 min walking around the place looking for a good place to eat
malaya corner was full.. so was the viet place next to it.
and little taipei D: so.. we ended up going to viet corner (next to coffee square)
which barely had space for us
my dish came last = =
very very last. as in, most of the others had finished eating before i even got my dish
that's just so bad. at least it tasted alright
though there wasn't much..
anyway it was pretty fun.
chris and anthony aren't asian enough for viet food, so they went to mcdonalds
overall, it was a rather nice experience.
first time i've been out with friends at about 9 with no adult supervision whatsoever

[yesterday's -- kimi ga iru kara - by mikuni shimokawa]

no limits party

2010-09-10T01:56:00.000-07:00

in economics this morning, we had to write the practice paragraph thingy
for "a bigger or smaller australia?"
noah had already written his.. so was instead doing his chem
as for me, i picked smaller population
it was meant to be handed in at the end of the period
but she ended up saying to send it to her before monday via email
so i had almost finished.. and then she suddenly proclaimed it's not due today
why'd i bother writing so fast today = =

for maths B, after music, i found our class in library
upstairs and downstairs. i like these places
coz they're nice and quiet, and they're rather private
i've almost finished the assignment and it's going well (:

at lunch, i went to no limits. they had a party on
it was mostly comprised of juniors.
some ppl brought food. phoebe brought chocolate
at first i rejected her offers of them but after that i tried one..
it was unexpectedly good . i didn't feel like chocolate at the time but it was good
the ppl i knew there were: phoebe, freda, samuel and priscilla. i think that's all
at one point, there were two pieces left
i offered the last of chocolate to priscillla... then this asian fatty (yes i think he's fatter than me).. he toook both pieces!! omg farout what a retard
doesn't he know the meaning of one at a time? especially since there's only two left.. no manners at all

in maths c, we got our assingment. it was about fibonacci, and the golden ratio stuff. we also saw a little clip about how numbers first came about
apparently indians formed them several centuries before we did
wow
pretty pro eh

have fun at youth alive ppl! sorry i can't make it. coz i'm at home now (:

drugs and alcohol are bad for you

2010-09-09T02:24:00.000-07:00

got my maths B marks back in period 1
42.5 / 44..
same mark as freda, lost to tim D:
gaybo
i lost a whole mark for missing out on part of a question.. didn't even see it
and lost another half mark for "not explaining" something that didn't ask for it
mr harvie is very intent on this "explaining" so i couldn't scab marks offf him
i guess i'll have to wait until mrs heilbronn comes back

in p2, we went to pac to watch a video by the school nurse
it was about alcohol and drugs and stuff..
one about this girl who just got her Ps, took her friend out to shopping
got fully distracted at one point and ran over a guy..
another one was about this 16th birthday..
the kids have alcohol.. and drugs
one of them got sick and was like vomitting.. went to bed
then another guy came and... _______________
after he spread the news, another guy ended up doing epic punch on him
and then as they were leaving, one guy got hit by a car..

then the parents got sued for sexual assault, death, and permanent brain damage by 3 separate parents..
the face of the parent was so saad...
so that's why
remmeber! make sure nothing goes wrong at times when you are held responsible!
coz.. yea they got sued for like $2 million
even though this wasn't real, it is definitely possible

after english, i heard that someone in a moped (whatever that is) got hit by a car just outside the schoool... apparently she died
what the hell is wrong with this world..
everyone at the library was trying to get a look outside the window..
while the bridge was blocked off by the deputy

i had accounting exam in p4. about bank recon statement
i dunno why i studied for it..
out of the 50 min allocated, i only used about 17 min..
the other parts, was checking over it, then writing gibberish on the paper
then sleeping..
hmm what a waste
should've just done my math b assignment

mass skyping atm (:
with matt, brandon, gary, andrew, leo
before we were like playing bingo
now we're like maths studying (i dunno why i'm studying for maths..)
and just making jokes about each other
and listening to music o.o
good job matt

epic ecn lesson

2010-09-08T02:28:00.000-07:00

another day of school..
when i had almost got to school, a group of asians came up to me
like. 2 middle aged women, one middle aged man, and a young girl came up to me
and they asked me where they can enrol. i'm assuming it was the girl that wanted to
i told them about A block and M block - the two offices in the school
then they said they would follow me..
i was gonna walk all the way to A block, but then it was already 9:15 - school starts at this time
so i ended up taking them to M block, much closer to form class
then yea..
after class, i saw them trying to find A block D:
i feel so bad for wasting their time.. was gonna apologise to them
but then i felt intimidated
who knows.. maybe i'll see that girl in bshs soon

in period 1, i decided to do my accounting revision
i spent the entire period.. with an unbalanced bank recon statement
for those that do accounting, you'll know how unsatisfying it is..
only until morning tea, i realised something very crucial and managed to fix it up

in period 3 for physics.. there was a sign on the classroom that said "mr salama's class go to E321 period 3"
took me a while to realise that this was my class
so off i went to E block.. back to the other side = =
on the first floor, i saw some of my classmates and asked "aren't we on the 3rd floor?"
then i saw mr salama with them..
then realised i was in the right place

at lunch, i was sitting all alone at J block when i got run over by joseph, anisha and tim
tim was going all psycho with his banana
screaming when he dropped it
telling us to hail it.. he's insane
then he started throwing the bana in my lasagne D:
eww and it had been on the floor too = =
yea sometimes i think he lacks dignity

we were meant to write a PEEL paragraph about the counter arguments of land usage for a bigger population for hw..
however due to some strange circumstances, i was the only one out of me, noah and david who actualy did it
teacher said to swap with each other and rate it
noah was like nodding and saying "yea. pro paragraph"
probably coz i was the only one who did it
after the teacher found out and told them to finish it by friday, she was like "well you can all look at mack's paragraph" then everyone looked at me TT_TT

afterwards we had a little debating QNA session
we had to pick random cards and some ppl would be up on the panel while those that got audience member would be watching :D
i got audience member ^^
sooo luckyyyy
noah got it too. and amaryllis. and menaka. and marielle and david
kelsy got the host role , which kinda suits her
christine got "a farmer"
nancy got "developer" though it was for some company..
nazret got "julia gillard", jordan got "tony burke, minister for sustainable population"
and andrew got "ms sally fields, environment minister" or soemthing
and they had to act like them while talking
so andrew was talking like a girl
while nazret kept saying "keep moving forward"
christine kept talking about her "farm" XD
jordan was always attempting to dodge the question (:
and then when ms mcgarry mentioned that he didn't answer her q, he stated that "politicians always do this"
oh yea as audience members, our job was to make up an identity and ask a question
the most difficult question we could think of :D
noah said he was kevin rudd ;P
then directed a question at jordan (tony burke)
then jordan just said "oh it's kevin rudd. i think he should be like debating with julia gillard" *points to nazret* *nazret stares at jordan with murderous intent*

oh and at one point, nazret was debating with nancy and christine, then jordan ended up rebutting nazret's point
and nazret was like "please, you're on my side"

at another point, jordan got so frustrated over the details that ms nava said "just say what you think"
jordan replied "ok i'll say what i think. i think the population of australia should be 22 000. not 22 million. just 22 000. just blow up tasmania, it's not like they're part of us anyway"
yea 22000.. that's not even 1/50th of brisbane
but yea it was alot of fun :D
i think my opinion would be very different if i had to do what they did..
though christine's job didn't look too hard, since she was proclaimed to be "mr farmer" and all she had to do was think of a farmer's point of view
i must admit she played the part very well :)
and she's pro at economics, so she had lots of rebuttals

oh and we got our ecn article marks back. i got an A1 overall
*sigh* i can never get anyting over A1.. never gotten an A2 this whole year except for the short response exam in term 1, where i got an A4. other than that, no nothing D:

mr vardie's year 9 english class

2010-09-07T01:31:00.000-07:00

in english this morning, mrs bracey had to go to some year 8 pac thingy
so she split up the people in our class to go to other classes
i happened to be put with jo, loz and caroline, and joined mr vardy's class of grade 9s
his class happened to be rather hilarious.
they were learning similes and metaphors.. so mr vardy had fun making jokes out of the sun, dogs, etc..
e.g. the sun is like a plump of poop
or.. the sea is like a hungry dog
something like that... pretty funny
especially when he talked about this guy being especially stupid..
and his sister who is some psychotologist or something.. and is super smart
then she marries the dumb guy. and he makes up some pretty funny jokes about this issue
he tossed us lollies (:

at lunch, i stayed at j block with noah. he was studying for maths B year 12. we met christina and christine there. they were studying for it too . so hardcore
eventually others started coming too.
i wonder why they study so much for this exam, and basically nothing for others

and christine has logged onto her old msn for the first time in 4 years.. well as i've seen anyway
her pm said "MATHS" and other things relevant to that
so i suspect she signed on for the pure intent of studying for the exam..

happy birthday bryan! :D sorry didn't see you today. hope you had a great day

the black velvet ribbon..

2010-09-06T02:09:00.000-07:00

today i was worried taht my teachers would check accounting hw.. i didn't do it
good thing they didn't (: but then i found out i have an exam this thursday
and i don't really understand completely how it works
gonna have to do the hw this time
flavius said that we had to write a short story (800 words) for hw
was madly doing this during accounting class..

in assembly, they showed us one of the performance(s) of dance troope
they were pretty pro, though i couldn't see coz i reside in the back row = =
but that backflip at the end looked pretty cool
priscilla is part of this group :D this makes me suspect that this is the "bring it on" thing

in english, i saw a thing on the board that said:
"mrs bracey's class period 1, go to D101"
i wasn't thinking and ended up going there, while dragging gordon, becky and flavius with me
when we got there, it was empty and i went to the time table
showed mrs bracey's class on period 1 "see??! i'm right"
flavius: "that's period 1."
me: "yea"
flavius: "right now it's period 3."
me: "... *starts walking back to A block while feeling ashamed of self*"
anyway we did short story writing , writing the ending of "the black velvet ribbon"
it's about this guy who's like 40 years old, who meets a beautiful girl who always wears a black velvet ribbon and refuses to take it off.
they get married, and after a week or so, the guy begins to get annoyed of the ribbon and after several debates and stuff, he eventually gets a pair of scissors and just cuts it off
our task was to finish the story after that
i'm sorta into fantasy more than most other genres coz they're more fun and there are more possibilities
so i wrote about how when the ribbon came off, there was a blinding light and bats flying everywhere, as she becomes a VAMPIRE!! ;D
yea retarded i know. eventually he manages to put the black velvet ribbon back on temporarily , in which case she turns back to normal. then he sticky tapes it back together (:
always happy endings. sad endings suck

the teacher ended up showing us a clip of the story on some website.
it showed like a drama play between two people who are meant to represent the guy and girl of the story.
what happens is.... *SPOILERS -- DISGUSTING SPOILERS below*

well it turns out that the girl's head is being held together by the ribbon
so when he takes it off, her head falls off
then it's like a curse.. his neck got cut and he had to use another ribbon to hold his own head in place
and that leads to the moral of the story:

find out why before acting. and if one is very very persistent about something, then there's a reason why

i can't believe our teacher showed us such a horror-genre clip. i might get nightmares now = =
good thing it was kinda dark..

after class, i decided to stay for amnesty. it's supposed to go for all of lunch but then it only went for about 20 min so i was bored after that
it was quite interesting during it though. and amnesty is right after english -- they're in the same class
so i basically save the effort of walking to my eating area by joining amnesty :D

oh and for maths B, we got our sub. his name is mr harvie. and he's gona be our teacher until the end of week 1 term 4. he looks like a pretty nice guy
amaryllis is quite pleased that we didn't end up getting mr perrot ;P
though he didn't have a clue about our kap exams.. so yea we didn't get them back
we're like the last class left TT_TT

oh and yesterday, my parents put me in charge of setting up the new home phones we got
there are three of them -- one base unit, while the others are chargers
prettyy coool.
though that means we gotta change the plan again.. since these phones use a different phone number that i don't even know of o.o

anyway good luck to those that are doing exam block starting tomorrow!
your exams look/sound very epic

dinner party at eric's

2010-09-05T01:08:00.000-07:00

yesterday we went to eric's house with felix and maro's family
though we stopped at felix and maro's place for a bit
they have time crisis o.o on playstation
this is the first time i've played it, only because it didn't cost anything
i was pretty crap at it i admit. but i'm gettig better!

we got to eric's house. watched them play COD etc..
afterwards we had a korean bbq and hotpot at the same time! how epic
though i don't like hotpot, so i stayed on the side that had bbq.
and i only cooked one type of meat.. probably because it's the only one i could reach without moving out of my seat..
and also because it's the only one i could cook properly
there was another one.. apparently it's a type of meat called "pork" and i undercooked it.. =_="
hmm i might've eaten one by accident.. hopefully i don't get food poisoning

after that , me and maro played time crisis. the screen was still super small when we played 2 player
i unlocked stage 2 by myself :D i'm definitely getting somewhat better
afterwards karen wanted to play mario karts on wii. so we did
yea i did pretty crap. the turning thingy on the wii is dodgy
then maro took weird pics of himself with those big round stress balls and put on his fb
and he was also messing with karen's friends on msn
he always does that ;P it's pretty fun to watch
oh and then he was going to send a random pic of himself to matt
but accidentally sent it to amaryllis , one of my other bshs friends... o_O
good thing she was afk at the time and probably didn't see it (:

today we went badminton. i think i got the majority of my accuracy back
ended up using colin's 800 hk dollar racket
which i might say, much much better than the racket i currently use
jack kept falling ;P as usual. shame on him
his balance is one of the worst i've seen... and his moving style along the court is so epic everyone laughs at him

oh and it was raining. we ended up being the last to leave since parents took so long
they ended up locking the gate while we were waiting, so we had to run out to them D;
got kinda wet.. trying to cover myself with the badminton racket didn't exactly work

happy father's day!
happy birthday to nick for yesterday!
and happy birthday to matt and andrew for today!
hope you all had great days for your bdays and had lots of fun :D

after exams. care free

2010-09-03T02:11:00.000-07:00

in economics we talked about really random stuf (:
like.. jordan said he was going to google for the holidays..
apparently it's got a tennis court, spas, and slides down to the floor below O.O
that sounds like alot of fun..
also talked about surgeons.. since christine wants to be a CV surgeon
so hardcore

in physics, we got our diagnostics back
somehow... i got an A overall O_O so unexpected, since i completely failed
i don't know how i ended up getting 27/30
angela got a B.. wesley got a B-.. nipuna .. failed.
i feel bad.. though lucky that i can get an A for my interim

oh and on the board in that class, nipuna noticed something very random
i decided to write it down:

1) Bigger claim: So too will children grow into strong, dependable, honest forthright and good looking adults if given the right cive.
2) More Specific claim: "So too will children grow at 18.5% per season and be able to withstand 10.2km/h winds or " will win Mr Universe and be a gym junkie.

i dunno who wrote it.. but i found it very funny ;P

i had music in p2b, so i was late to p3.
there was another class doing an exam in our classroom = =
met up with amaryllis and annie, who also had no clue
we wandered around... eventually going to student counter to ask
and the lady there had NO idea
i was kinda intrigued by this result, though amaryllis wasn't too happy to be missing out on class
we then went to C block to ask.. unexpectedly finding our teacher sitting in the staffroom o.O
we were on the third floor of C block instead
with a sub
we got our assignments... it's pretty easy
too bad we only get 2 weeks to do
and teacher apparently finished marking our kap exams, but will not show it to us >.<
almost every other class has got theirs back already!!

maths C was the best class of the day.
mr hansen cracked alot of jokes
we learnt about combinations. and we played a bingo game
3 in a row. 5 down. first to get a whole row wins $3 from mr hansen ;P
darren ended up getting it after 3 numbers..
and mr hansen was like "congratulations. now you can quit school and retire."
it was alot of fun
towards the end, when he gave him $3, he added "spend it wisely. with it, you may become a trillionaire some day."

maths B map exam - maths week

2010-09-02T04:51:00.000-07:00

ahhh!!
yesterday i was stuck over one of the map qs..
so i ended up asking nipuna this morning..
he ended up getting it somehow or something
after a long time.. maybe by asking someomne
so i rushed to school to find out
and he was meant to wait by the library or somethign
well guess what happened? he disapppeared
and he wasn't answering his mobile phone
dumbo
and since the maths B exam was in period 1, i was panicking = =

anyway, i'm fortunate that that particular question wasn't on the exam
something similar was.. but that was much easier
oh and i failed q3.
i thought it was a trick question... since i thought it was extremelyyy easy
then i saw a new word - radius
that changed everything..
spent 30+ min trying to figure out what to do.. what method to use
i eventually came up with an extremely complicated formula..
which was wrong *sigH*
sooo.. i was basically dying on the inside

afterwards, i found out that several people actually found out the answer
it was quite simple.. yet i don't think i could've thought of it in several hours
*sigh* i feeell extremely dumb right now
hopefully i can get an A or B for that q...

afterwards i had agreed to go to M block with amaryllis to find ms head
we met freda (one of those that actually got the answer to q3) along the way and she tagged along
in the end.. i lost all motivation to argue with ms head and i left convinced that my lack of involvement within the school was not enough to go for prefect

at lunch, we had voting... it was alot more open than i thought
was kinda talking with friends and acquaintances during the voting process
ended up running out of ppl to vote for (we get 18 ppl to vote for)
some ppl were surprised that i wasn't on the ballot paper

by period 4.. in accounting.. my arms were dead
and i tried sleeping.. in period 3 also. though i suck at english
and tried not to look like i was sleeping at that class
in accounting though, the teachers don't usuallly mind so much

met david wu and marian lien on the 139 bus (:
marian finally received ownership of a phone ;P
she's rather happy. though it's like a crappy phone
and she toook 20 min trying to add my contact details into it
she's still getting used to it ^^'
apparently her grandma, who is like 74 yeares old, is more technologically developed than she is
and she is into fashion , cars etc . modern ones. wow..
but yea. marian doesn't feel so independent yet coz she can't call or text anyone yet
until the end of the month.. which just passed
have fun getting used to your phone marian :D
oh and QCS writing topic: flight
that's.. alot different from the past ones "time" and "essence"
but i guess it's alright
marian had alot to write about
something about.. a girl who wanted to suicide.. then she found a bird who got hurt by something..
and the girl nursed it back to health..
then after she finally let the bird go free, she felt she could "fly" beyond herself
that's.. unbelievable
i could never come up with something like taht and write it fully in 2 hours

happy birthday ashleigh glasington
and happy birthday leo! good luck (:

maths C map exam - maths week

2010-09-01T02:41:00.001-07:00

maths C map exam first up
went to nipuna's "tutor group" in the library in the morning
only it wasn't really a tutor group... and it wasn't in the library
in the end after so long, i didn't really laern much.. just got more confused
minh and her friends laughed hardout... alot.. i'm starting to suspect she may be about as crazy as bernie

so i had to cross to get to maths C... i ended up getting there late = =
when i saw they had already started, i panicked even more
though once i noticed that i finished the first map q in about 2 min, i started to panic less
for the leontief model in q2, i thought it was a trick question
when i saw outside industries... i thought it was asking for 3 different things
and i thought "damn those ppl. throwing a hard one at us like this"
but then after a while, i found out it was the same thing as we did in class :)

i screwed up question 3... ended up skipping it for q4
q4.. i thought it'd be rather difficult. though the concepts were quite simple
so after a bit of work, i got it :D
at least i was kinda confident
i went back to q3... and i ended up coming up with something
though... it meant that most of the working out i had done previously..
was not needed at all.. what a waste of paper and time
good thing i managed to finish early and go back to check

in accounting , iwas studying for physics diagnostic
though got distracted by a video at the end that ms tyler put up for us
it was really funny
about a guy who was dancingrandomly by himself at some place..
then one guy joins in eventually..
then another guy..
and by 3 min later, 500ish people were dancing with him ^^
the video had a commentary that displayed stuff about leadership
and which role is best played in this situation
in this case, it would be the first follower of the random who started it (:
but yea random

in physics... hell the diagnostic was hard
it was over 10 times harder than the maths map exam.. imo
i should probably be thankful that it wasn't the other way around
so many ambiguous questions.. and unremembered formulas
especially that helicopter question. that was gay. didn't even get an answer
dkoy got one though (smartest guy in our class)
though he ended up skipping a whole page of questions..
hopefuly mr salama will be lenient with his marking, otherwise i'm gonan fail

christine chang and christina budur are planning to write a school newspaper!
i was like "wow... you have wayyyy ttoo much time"
but then i found out it only comes out once a term...
so... yea that's slightly more manageable. though that means that if the first edition comes out next term, they'll only get through 5 newspapers..
not much in my opinion
they wanted me to write something o.o they obviously don't know how crap my english is

oh and my prefect application got rejected.. i got a letter
that's just so gay
they didn't even give me a chance to go for it
am i that bad a student or did they automatically cross out all that are new?
stupid rretarded biased admin
i'm gonna go storm their office tomorrow after my maths exam
amaryllis has agreed to come with me so that i don't look like a loner
not sure how long that alliance will last though
if the dep asks what i did with the letter, i'll tell them that my mum was soo angry that she ripped it into tiny pieces
which is only 1/3 true.. she did rip it. but not into tiny pieces.
and she wasn't angry... she didn't even know what it was about :)

maths C kap exam - maths block

2010-08-31T02:40:00.000-07:00

big day tooday
in english, mrs bracey let me study for maths again :D this time it's maths C

i was kinda panicking a little before the exam
it turned out to be not too hard, since i studied for the right things
lots of useless things also in my mind though...
and there was the retarded question:
There are 150 raffle tickets. If 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are chosen, how many different arrangements are can be made?
yes.. one of the most basic and expected questions you can ever come up with in permutations
and i was confused slightly .. this resulted in me possibly getting a wrong answer D:
the most obvious way to approach this question is: 150P3
but.. i read something about rearranging within the chosen ones..
so i decided to risk it and multiply that huge number by 3! (which is 6)
so then.. from 3ish million, it jumped to be about 19 million
i told nipuna about it straight afterwards and he went into a small depresssion ;P
then... noah said that i was wrong D:
*sigH* i knew i wouldn't get 100% on this one
a bad omen for tomorrow's map exam.
gonna diieee
it's period 1. need to studyyyy

oh and my friends freaked me out when they mentioned that the physics diagnostic test would be today. we were told it was in wednesday.. or so i thought
and i was right. it is going to be tomorrow :)
which isn't so good in itself.. since i know basically nothing
hope i get an A!!! somehow..

and the gocard machine was broken this morning..
when i was gonna go to it.. it said in red near the top of the screen
"no notes will be accepted"
my gocard went into -ve this morning.. which i didn't know was possible
so i was gonna put $5 in coins
instead, the ppl in front of me couldn't even put cash in..
only gave the option of credit card details o.o
good thing it worked in the afternoon

oh and happy birthday szeyan! it's finally your 16th.
i remmeber last year when you didn't want emily to tell me your bday
too latee (:
too bad leo forgot *sigh* oh well. there's always tomorrow
told myself not to slack off just today.
when i got home, i forgot . how unfortunate
time to study. somewhat~

maths B exam - kap

2010-08-30T01:09:00.000-07:00

i started wearing new shoes yesterday (:
i wore them to class first time today. they all shiny
at assembly, my shoes were squeaky against the flooor D:
also in assembly, ppl were randomly clapping for no reason..
and lots of ppl joined in. they were rather loud applauses compared to normal ones..
it very much angered the dep ( i thinK) + the principal
he gave a very intense lecture straight afterwards

in english, i was so glad i did my hw on the bus :D
teacher did let me study in class so it was all good

at lunch.. when i was buying food, $20 fell out of my pocket D:
i started to panic when i couldn't find it..
fortunately claire and cherie were behind me and actually got it for me :D
thanks alot (:

my maths B exam was last. i had all day to study for it
though it was mostly unnecessary..
most of it was general knowledge for me. the fabled Q8 and the last question aside, i finished the exam in 30 min :) with 35 min to spare.
though the last question took a long time to write out.. and i don't even know if i got it right
since the teacher said we weren't supposed to use permutations in a maths B exam =_=
i think i did alright though

on the bus, when i took out my ipod..
$10 came out as well.. would never have noticed if a guy didn't point it out for me
thanks dude!
i must be cursed today or something... i would've lost $30 today if kind and nongreedy people didn't point it out
oh and... my gocard now has $1 on it. so.. i can't take a ride to school

maths C exam tomorrow!
then a maths C exam the day after that!
then a maths B exam the day after after that!
yea.. lots of work D;

got new earphones! coz apparently the ones that go into your ear holes are very bad for you and can cause cancer
so we got the ones that hang on your ears
though.. i just opened it
it has two inputs o.o
which may be somewhat of a bother when it comes to my ipod at school
cool that it has a microphone though :D

and yea. that's about all i can remember
gotta study for maths C now..

just put on my new earphones... the space in between the ears wasn't long enough to fit
didn't know that you could just pull them... and it comes apart
the problem is, it's permanent D:
you can't put it back..
i blame jack for pulling it this far apart = ="

MIFF

2010-08-29T01:04:00.000-07:00

today was miff. i thought i would be late.. since our trio thing was meant to start at 11:30ish..
when i got there.. i was lost. took me a long time to realise that the thing started at 12 = =
made us get there an hour early for nothing. and the saxaphones before us were pro D:
made us look like crap
oh well. it went better than i thought it would :)

was gona go to SLQ with bernie to study... italian? o.o
decided against it and went to city with nick

after eating something, we went to the funhouse.
nick is pro at ddr... seriously pro
he's even better than sherry
i got owned = =
well not that i was any good to begin with..
but he did the bridge to brisbane thingy, ran 5 km, before doing expert level songs
*sigh*
i really want to get better at it. hopefully i will one day

we came back to state high for the concert band performance
it was meant to start at 2:45.
J block was basically empty though, and percussion ensemble had already finished their performance
as it turned out, concert band was after it.
and then noah suddenly rang me telling me that concert band was going on O_O
yea basically, i freaked out.
i had to run back to get my clarinet THEN figure out where the auditorium was
and i hadn't even set up yet!
fortunately i made it on time.. just..
i had about 2 minutes max to set up before they opened the curtains
thanks noah! owe you one.. more..

i need help with maths C! ! it's.. difficult = =
i probably should start revising from now on...
need advice from others.. maybe study all day tomorrow

oh and i found out i have a go mat and stones O_o
i wanna learn how to play now
inspired by hikaru no go ;P
it doesn't sound so extreme, but the show is very intense

oh and i just played a mock game with jack
i got like.. 20 stones.. jack got about 5 of mine..
which doesn't seem right at all = =
since ppl on the show rarely even get 5 after the entire game..
the matches are usually decided by territories, which i don't know how to count
*sigh*. quit the game to figure out how to play properly first

ahhh gotta start studying! i don't even get the restrictions of permutations properly
or the cayley tables.. or gaussian elimination or that other one..
though i do understand relative vectors thanks to szeyan
hopefully i'll get an A something

happy birthday amadeus and winnie :)

big dinner

2010-08-28T04:31:00.000-07:00

haven't written blogs lately.
anyway i got my english marks back on thursday. B+!!
yea rather happy.. since there were only 2 A-s, 3 B+s in the class.
i'm in the top 5!! ^^ in my class of course

yesterday at no limits, the food at the place replaced my lunch :)
i saved some money.
ate lots of lollies though. i think i'm getting fat = =

went to dinner with felix and maro's + eric's family again
went to chinese garden.
there were alot of ppl.. and i was very crammed
my elbow always connected with jack's constantly..
and i couldn't even get into my seat properly = =
i wanted to tell my dad to move his chair over on the other side of the table
since he had heaps of room.
but then i didn't end up doing so.
oh and it was kinda depressing when felix and the rest mentioned that i would never get a girlfriend D:
yea... i've thought about it. there is some truth in what they say
*sigh*

4 maths exams this week. i need to study
soon..

dreamworld of physics

2010-08-25T02:37:00.000-07:00

today went to dreamworld.
i was a bit later than the others.. but the moment i got there, we were allowed in
so i don't think i was late :)

the teacher just said "meet back here at 12". so pretty independent
it was alot of fun
we went on the claw first, which was nice. i was kinda laughing uncontrollably a little.. i dunno why. maybe coz those on both sides of me.. were screaming their heads off. one was a girl, the other was a guy. i hate that guy

afterwards, we started some work, aiming to get the books done. we were in a huge group of about 8 ppl. ppl were copying off my answers = =
although.. i told others to do the calculations coz i was too lazy to use the classpad
a while after i realised that they calculated it wrong o.o
they can't even use the calculator properly.... i'm so disappointed

went on the giant drop after this one. i was very confident at first
then when it started going up, i got a little nervous..
i told myself to calm down and concentrate on the big yellow bus that was driving on the freeway ;P
in the end it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought.
at first when it drops you, it's a little scary. after that , you get used to it very fast

we then went on the reef diver, which was the last of the 3 rides that we had to complete work sheets for. this was by far the gayest ride in history
it wasn't thrilling at all. not scary either. no excitement
though when i got down.. after afew minutes, i started to develop a headache
a splitting headache that made me want to throw up. i also had some dizziness
and suddenly, alll ability to concentrate properly, as welll as any motivation to do the assignments, vanished
unfortunately, i found out it was due at 12pm. so i had to force myself... to copy off other people ;)
in the end after an hour or so of torture.. i managed to get it done .
after that, i decided to eat. my friends all ate during the work session so i got ditched by everyone. *sigh* such a loner, eating my lunch.
and because of the reef diver, i lost all appetite and was eating at an extremely slow rate

walked around m yself for a while, since i didn't feel like any rides.
in fact i felt like sleeping. i was kinda looking for a good place to lie down
after a while, i came across a group of girls including angela, priscilla and tiff
they wanted a photo taken. it included like a clown statue on the seat.
afterwards, priscilla was "acting" inappropriately towards this clown statue... O_O
i think someone took a photo of this ^_^'
i was then invited to join their group... oh yea i also got fairy floss :D
first time i've ever tried it. hmm apparently it's completely sugar.
it tasted alrigiht, though the girl gave me alot..

the group proceeded to the lolly shop. angela and one of her friends went to buy ice cream, while the rest bought lollies.. one of them got this very long about two metres long and stuffed it with lolly powder. it looked like it would last a while

afterwards, some of angela's friends came along.. and angela and me ditched the rest of the group to go with them... i don't know why
we were gonna go to alien thingy but then it had a huge waiting line so we left
there was this weird ride where you lie down... the other two girls went on that. me and angela waited on the side.

ended up going to this bright green ride called something repta
it looked like a kid's ride ;P but it looked something like lethal weapon at movie world
again the girls.. zoe and you jee. me and angela watched.. again..
apparently you jee has motion sickness or something so only picks the smaller rides
after two rides.. we got convinced to try it. we went on it twice = =
for no reason at all.. actually we might've went on it three times o.o

then bumper cars :) met up with some others like serena and noah. turned into a rather large group all of a sudden. noah looked like a pro driver with his cap on ^_^
you could see the flare in his eyes

afterwards we went to this ride called "the log ride". how boring sounding.
wasn't that bad though. it had water.. and i forgot to cover my bag D:
so my bag kinda got wet.

nipuna took photos of me without me knowing. i guess i was too concentrated in the present conversation i was having with someone else.
stupid nipuna.
anyway, it was a pretty sweet day :)
i decided not to laze around so much.. because i probably won't get another chance in my lifetime to go to a themepark with so many friends
too bad i wasted it
i hope i'l get another chance someday. and i won't go on the reef diver

happy birthday sabrina :)

more about malaysian national service

2010-08-24T05:17:00.001-07:00

handed in my economics assignment (;
rather proud of myself. phoebe came up with an awesome title :D
year 12 maths B assignment was also due today
noah's assignment was a booklet O_O literally... 45 pages of work, not including the blank ones that were intertwined
christine got 1 hour of sleep.. staying up until 9am to do her assignments
that's pretty epic. she was like trying to sleep during classs

found out the physics booklet we need for tomorrow is actually about 20 pages long o.o
fortunately, mr salama printed 1 copy for every 2 ppl (:
and even more luckily, nipuna already printed his. so i get free copies ^^
oh and we were meant to be given the angle answers for the worksheet, and i copied down quite a few answers to other questions as well at the same time :) saves me quite a bit of work tomorrow

went to dinner with meiling (girl who works at dad's) and her parents (dad's old childhood friend i think)
they brought the letter from malaysia. rather hilarious
it's written in malay so jack can't read it.
and we've learnt some things about the place
there are about 30ish camps all over malaysia.
some are up to 200 miles from ipoh o.o
the people there most likely don't speak english..
you must cut your hair very short. or get it cut
girls go through this service too..
allocaction of camps is completely random. if you're lucky, you'll end up in a better-class camp. if you're unlucky.. well. you're screwed
average sleep time is 10pm. average wakeup time is 5am.
they serve curry.. hot malaysian curry.
and there was some other info too that i can't recall atm
meiling can speak 4 languages: english, canto, mando and bahasa
my dad and meiling's parents were communicating in their local dialect ..
what's it called? something like "ket".. first time i've heard of it o.o
i think it's the same as hakka. yea anyway
they came over after dinner.
and they've been here since :)
they're not staying over... they're just staying.. pretty late ;P

dreamworld tomorrow :O

my epic economics article

2010-08-23T04:02:00.000-07:00

well i had an accounting exam in period 1. i didn't actually study for it at all yesterday
so i spent 10 - 15 minutes max studying for it on the bus :D
and it went surprisingly ok. just not sure if i got some things right though..
but so far, i know of no mistakes :)
apparently there's this girl in our grade who is getting 100% for accounting so far.
and at the beginnning of the year, she said to some people "i will get the accounting award"
and there are some people who are expecting me to "ruin her chances"
*sigH* looks like i'm failing them D:
unless she completely screws this one and i completely ace it, then i have no chance..

spent alot of lunch looking for teachers to find out about whether the dreamworld bus-only payment can be done
turns out it's a no. stupid HOD . so cheap. they want all the money
so i've decided, i'm going there by my own transport
to save $50 :D
coz i got a dreamworld pass and yeah. i got "permission" i think from mr salama
though he says that i would be a "guest", therefore needing to explain my absence from school and if anything happens to me, he's not held responsible. something like that

relief teacher in maths B (: which gave me a good chance to ask amaryllis for help with ecn
oh and that worksheet in maths... showed me just how much i still don't know about derivatives =.= well it's not that i don't know how to do it..
ok it is. but it's because i don't know what the question means! the english is too so frightening it blinds my eyes.
ok it's not that bad. but it's CLOSE
ok it's not that close either.. but it's like HALFWAY-ish

so what about my economics assignment that's due tomorrow you ask?
ok maybe you don't care, but it's finished! :D
first time in a number of years that i've fully finished an assignment earlier than 9pm the night before it's due
proud of myself :)
though.. technically i'm not finished =_="
i haven't got a proper title. i needa think of one fast
anyone got any clues?
ok it won't help if i post that here since it's due tomorrow..
soo...
my celebration has been cut short.

oh and while i was meant to be doing my assignment, i decided to browse through animes that might be interesting to watch
i came across one called 'gundam unicorn' a few weeks back, which had one episode at the time
guess how many episodes it has now?
still 1... i've wonderred that for a while
now i've realised.. according to the comments, they only release an episode every 6 months O_O"
lazy bummmms
it got a good rating. but 6 months... that's pushing it.. very much so

happy birthday rachie :D

cloudland

2010-08-21T21:01:00.000-07:00

last night , i watched mshs's musical "cloudland"
waited outside in the cold for 30 min coz i didn't get a ticket D:
met nick, sammy and fergus, as well as christine yeung, cathy cao and a few others
they were all ushers, which is renowned as the easiest job to do in the musicals ;P
lazy bums. nick and fergus were wearing full-class suits O_o
looked good on them :)
while the girls were wearing... dresses? can't recall but that must be it

the show was unexpectedly pro (: didn't expect so much, as the description was rather 'cloudy'
it made alot of sense after a while, and i completely forgot about the weird start
lots of jokes and great acting :)
especially mr austen and mr langmack, who acted as weird hobos with white hair ;P
and also that guy who acted like an indian dude with a huge accent ^^
and ms luppi sang! she was very good too. she teaches maths and jap so i didn't know she could sing o.o such a surprise

the show went until 11pm+ . didn't think it'd go so late, as the latest that previous musicals have gone up to is about 10pm. maybe it's coz it's mr kay's and ms may's last year. so they made it more epic
there was like a video at the end of all the past musicals. it was like WOW
and we saw mr kay and ms may when they were younger.. very surprising..
how much fat you can accumulate in 20 years ;P no offense to him o__o
oh and miss beckham got married! no one told me = =
she was my hpe teacher in year 9. her new name is "mrs croll"
doesn't sound very appealing.. jack wasn't surprised that she got married
i guess i'm not surprised either, though it's only been half a year since we both left mshs. it's rather hasty from my point of view

saw other friends such as gavin, chris and karshing (:
gavin was watching the show also, while chris and karshing were part of the stage crew
no one else i know came .. stupid ppl not supporting their own school
it may be the last good musical since the director is retiring (ms may)
there were some pretty cool props this time, like that tram (fake), car (fake), and motorbike (real) ;P the student actually rode the motorbike o.o i wonder if that's allowed
oh and a couple kissed on stage. i think it was real o_o
i wonder how ms may let that pass

as for my economics assignment... ehehehe..
didn't really get much done, is the honest truth
all of my info is jumbled up. i believe that i'm barely halfway done, but i don't see any place which i can improve on adeequately.
which is why i'm here. bored.
so i'm gonnna print and read through tomorrow, and ask for help from peers :D
then.. hopefully it'll be done by tuesday
accounting exam first up tomorrow! hope i get 100%. it's what i need for subject award =_=
maybe study on the bus.

2010-08-20T04:57:00.000-07:00

friday! end of the week. finally
one of my ear's of the earphones broke this morning.. no sound comes out anymore TT_TT

had a strange dream last night.
certain unexpectant 'friends' suddenly surprisingly came to visit my place.
it went a little weird
yea.. a certain of those friends also ditched us. oh well

i forgot to get my dreamworld thingy signed beforehand..
so i ended up getting jack to forge the signature ;)
first time. don't blame me. it was ABSOLUTELY necessary

no limits was as usual. played that random ninja game at the beginning
except with all the 8s - 10s. i skipped, as usual.
then we talked about several things. i forgot to buy lunch, so the sugarfree lollies and those deli chips became my lunch :)

went to garbo after school for contacts appointment. all is well. this will be the last in the forseeable future
also met nick there, as well as beck and joseph (or is his name tristan?) from life group (found out what the bbq was called)
had subway. this was also another reason why i didn't eat lunch; so i could fill up in afternoon ^^
despite the fact i didn't eat previously, i could barely finish .. that just goes to show how much value you get out of $7

afterwards we took 120 to griffith. then walked for ages... nick lied when he said it started at 5:30. it actually starts at about 6:30, which is why most go home first before attending this church thing
i met quite a few people there like dom, paul, priscilla, samantha, rashaun, as well as ppl from the life group like nancy, lucy, etc. also saw wesley woo, who i've confirmed to be the same person i met last year at musical, as well as tina from bshs no limits ( year 8 - 10).
there was alot of singing at first. honestly, my legs were killing me after 30 min of standing..
the clips were very interesting though.
and the speeches. there were alot of references to the bible
and then the weird thing about humans being shaped with god in mind.
i think that's wrong.. coz no one knows what this "god" looks like
something that dom said got me thinking: maybe our entire civilisation, our entire world
is just a game to the gods.
what if.. our world was created from scratch, to see how long it would take to reach a certain objective? maybe like... how long it would take for our world to discover another intelligent life form on another planet?
if that were so, then we're losing.. coz we're wasting our time on education , etc.

i got free gifts :) i got like.. a cd thingy. that had music in it.
then i also got this white card thing and a lollipop came with it :D
i still haven't opened the card.. hmm..

i found the aftersession the best. where we just talked with everyone
there was plenty to listen to. at least the stuff that i could actually hear with my poor hearing..
nick told me it would finish at 9:30. it finished at 8:20, though i would've stayed longer if i could.
i ended up going home with priscilla, samantha and their sister hannah. they got a big car ;P hopefully they didn't get lost on the way out like brandon did

dumb

2010-08-19T03:12:00.000-07:00

english oral today. stayed in for lunch to do it..
i had an audience of 5 ppl, (2 teachers, 3 girls..)
it went alright. no real big stuff ups, even though i was too lazy to memorise properly

the motivational speech was ok. interesting at times.. other times, the music was wayyyy too loud. several life stories from various people, which was nice.. wake up call to me

had a haircut on the way home. at F10 quick cuts. the box that takes the money is retarded, coz it only takes $10 notes or $20 notes, no change (haircut costs $10 per person)

small argument in the household. i don't think i'm wrong.. but the consequences include : getting out of the house and leaving the family
seems rather plausible atm. i'm taking it into consideration..

rushed

2010-08-18T02:33:00.000-07:00

baka baka . of course i'm talking about myself ..

i've left everything until the last minute. so now i've got a heapload to do

everything's so rushed..i got music to practice, english oral tomorrow, accounting on monday, gotta pay for dreamworld and figure out if i can use the pass and then economics article due tuesday
maybe i should go do assignments in the library *sigh*
so if you hadn't noticed.. accounting exam been moved to monday :) due to some motivational speech tomorrow p4
now i don't have to rush tomorrow

in maths C , finally started combinatrics (: teacher wrote up an example about pin numbers, and started talking about how he wanted to crack pin codes ;P
what a rebel
and then we talked about license plates, and how he wanted to get a flip plate to avoid paying tolls on the bridge ^_^
oh well. found out there were approx 17 million combinations for the plates. not really enough.
and that IP addresses have 32 numbers , leading to appprox 4 billion possibilities
however, they're running out of numbers.. so they're/they've making/made a new one with 108 digits.. which willl lead to.. another who knows how many combinations
quite alot more
teacher didn't know there are zeros on license plates O.o
i know full well that there are.. coz one of my family's cars has three zeros..

ms tyler thought that dreamworld excursion was today ;P so she was rather surprised to see me

physics class.. got moved 20 m away for no reason at all
wasn't even told.. duno how the others knew about it = =

after school, missed the 3:46 139 bus. so ended up waiting until 4
one of the 130s that came by, i saw someone wave from inside. stupidly enough, i waved back thinking it was directed at me
fortuantely it WAS directed at me. after a while i realised it was angela
then the person next to her also waved. this time, i thought i might've been wrong so i didn't do anything..
then when i saw the bus leaving, i found out it was actually christine, and bryan was also there
i feel like such a dork
anyway , it's good that 3 friends from primary all together on the same bus ;P
good to see they have kept in contact with each other all these years

went to dinner at the jap place in market square called sakurayama :)
it was yummy. i took some pics. there were lots of goood looking food :D
i recommend anyone go there ^^ unless your family likes to save money..
here is what i took pics of :

damnit stupid ppt. english is so retarded. why'd they make it a compulsory subject?
oh yea. coz we speak it.. stupid english

looks like i might be going to the youth thingy i got invited to by nick
since it corresponds with the contacts appointment
i'll be looking into it
and why am i posting?! i've got an assignment to do and clarinet to practice before this day is over!

army service

2010-08-17T03:02:00.000-07:00

i forgot to do my english yesterday D:
good thing no one had to perform today :) problem is, teacher's making the whole class perform on thursday.. which means we'll be staying in for lunch..

got news that ICAS maths this morning was free = =
damn should've went. oh well, gonna get the paper off someone soon, then compare results

at morning tea, timmy showed me his speech. and sort of presented it..
he memorised the whole first half of his thing.. *sigh*
so many huge words like maladroit.. never even heard of it
and while timm was emphasising his words, he was hitting me at the same time = =

didn't finish economics hw.. coz couldn't find the graph and data..
noah couldn't do it either
once we got to class and found out christine had it, we copied off her ;P
too bad it was wasted effort.. teacher didn't even look at it
we got our drafts back.. i thought i did good. instead i found heaps of errors and comments on it.. *sigh* looks like i got a lot of work to do before next tuesday

noah said something about a lecture on ecology in E block at lunch, so i joined him there
there wasn't much of any audience.. and the lecturer was a lady with strong accent who apparently studied in germany. and 90% of the presentation was about bats
not that i mind. i find them quite interesting.. learnt a few things (:
like.. they can live up to 30 years!! *shock*
and.. there are 950 species of bats in the world! 80 of them in australia!
yea.. and only 0.3% of bats actually feed on blood. that's a first
their sonar can detect wires up to 0.05mm thin, and their heart beat is 100-400 beats / min, reaching up to ~1100 beats/ min! that's rather epic
oh yea, the smallest bat in the world weighs up to 1.5 grams..
the smallest in australia goes up to 2.5 grams. that's really really light..
in the end, it went overtime and i didn't even finish my lunch D: since we aren't allowed to eat in the lab = =
and i saw the other teacher eat salad and this other food in the lab! no fair.. what hypocrites

in physics, we were meant to do some experiment on SHM (simple harmonic motion) involving springs, laptops and this other thingy that measures waves
my group was meant to use teacher's laptop but we found out he didn't have the program
so we spent the whole period .. well i was listening to ipod. nipuna was listening to mine too, and reading some random book..
apparently i've gotten him into j-pop :D

oh we received news yesterday that jack got selected for the malaysian army service!
if you have malaysian ID and you're male, you automatically go into the draw.. to win a free pass to training in malaysia for the army! "no choice is given to those who win this fabulous prize. transportation is not provided."
this training lasts 3 months. i really hope i don't get it when i turn 18 D:
3 months without a computer.. 3 months without good friends..
3 months of hardship.. 3 months of dirt and mud..
3 months of pain.. 90 deadly days
unbearable..

happy birthday yenuk (: you wagged school again o.o

work work

2010-08-16T02:36:00.000-07:00

4 days of break are over... weekends pass too fast TT_TT

accounting exam on thursday!! D: need to study

epic performance by percussion ensemble :D especially the girls with the trash can lids
very crreative :)

nipuna watched the whole of code geass and then 5 eps of R2 in 2 days = =
what an insane freak.. he doesn't get out much on the weekends
not that i'm one to talk ;P

english.. mrs bracey said she didn't even get my email o.O
but she looked at my draft. fortunately flavius printed my copy out when i lent him mine, so i had a hard copy :)
and teacher liked it ! ^_^ sooo glad. that i don't have to rewrite :D
and more glad that.. we didn't have to present today :) might have to tomorrow though o.O
i'm not gonna bother with palm cards.. too much work seriously

as for maths B , we had a diagnostic test. it went for the whole period..
whoever wrote the thing, made it very confusing = =
especially the last one about resisters.. something like R = R0 (1 + 0.004T + 0.000001T^2)
too many zeros D:
and the paper i took out was too small..
apparently we got told that the thing would be on derivatives and logs , so bruce studied logs only , hoping to be able to answer half of it
instead, the whole thing was on derivatives only ;P so... he couldn't write down a single thing (international student)
so yea. i think he failed. this thing goes towards interim report, so i hope i got an A!

ICAS maths comp tomorrow.. i only found out about it today, and i'm assuming that you had to pay for it
so i can't do it. too bad
i don't wanna be stuck with my westpac fail TT_TT
i want something decent somewhere... *SigH*

oh and some of you.. will be glad to know
i replaced my ipod cover :) that is, the custom ipod cover
made of glad wrap :D
it was a mess before.. i admit.. could barely read the screen
now it's alright. there's 4 layers of wrap, so i think it'll last a while
and next time one of the pieces is about to fall off, i'm just gonna tear it off
no point keeping it there if it just hinders my eyesight

bbq

2010-08-15T00:42:00.000-07:00

i attended the bbq that paul invited me to
i took a really long time deciding whether i should go or not..
since it was at someone's house.. didn't really wanna impose
it took less than 5 min by car, since it was in sunnybank hills :)
and it was unexpectedly really fun
the people i knew there were: paul, dom roz, fiona, priscilla and unexpectedly, claudia xiao
haven't seen her since primary . nice meeting her again. she's still super smart *sigh* more competition
since she might be going for actuary too
at first, we played the wii
there was this hula hoop game.. it was so bad. i got 71 spins in something seconds
most people got 90+
except dom. he got like 30 ;P since he failed

about 15 ppl showed up altogether
we played this game in a circle. a big circle.
it was called .. i dunno what it was called
it was really weird. .took me a while to learn the rules..
and it was realy bad when i lost, since i was so bad at it
something like "tim tim tam tam tim tam fry pan"
really weird..
first time 3 ppl lost, they had to do the chicken dance on the street ;P
they were jogging at the same time to cover up the fact they were dancing..

afterwards we did it again, only this time they let heaps of ppl lose
unfortunately i was one of them =_=
this time we had to hold hands and run across the street singing "baby" by ...
justin bieber? o_O'
i don't even know the song.. but somehow, they managed to leave me out ;P
lucky for me ;D
though they were talking about a solo after D:
good thing they didn't end up insisting :)

then we played this other game.. called.. i dunno what it's called either
basically, one person had to go up to another person and..
basically confess their 'love' to them and ask them to smile
the recepient is meant to say "i love you too but i can't smile for you"
if the recepient laughs or smiles, then they have to replace the current person ;P
if not, that person goes on asking others until they succeed :)
it was rather embarassing ;P since most girls asked other girls, and boys asked other boys
those that know me, would know that i laugh way too easily..
especially at the most retarded things
only a matter of time before i went up..
i didn't really want to ask a guy..
for those who haven't figured, i have some pride too
so i asked girls that i know
first, fiona. she was like acting funny ;P
and i was really nervous, so i ended up forgetting to ask her to smile = =
when i remembered, she cracked up :) luckily for me.
second time, claudia asked me after several rejections.. *sigh*
so i asked priscilla and got it over with
i do NOT ever want to go through that again

oh and dom thought i went to QA o_o
well maybe that's the most common answer, but he's a year off
btw the party was full of ex-mshs ppl ;P unfortunately none of those were from my grade
finally came to the food :D problem was, i ate too much breakfast D:
could only eat two plates. i liked the salad best :D
the sausages were burnt *sigh* just a little
and i didn't know what the other meats were, so i kinda left them alone
overall, it was unexpectedly fun
i wouldn't mind going again next time

as for badminton, jack had some party at 4:30 so he didn't go
just me and colin
not many ppl came today, but i didn't find it so fun
kinda got boring.. and i got owned quite a number of times
sometimes miserably - 21/8, 21/7, that sort of thing *sigh*
oh well.

happy birthday christina! hope you had a great day and you're doing well in uni :)

this and that

2010-08-14T01:21:00.000-07:00

sick D: alot sicker yesterday though
i ended up using almost half of my tissue supply
for those that don't know me well, that's quite alot of tissues

in ecn yesterday, it was quite fun (:
we started the topic 'population' so we played this litle game that ms mcgarry made
you start off with 6 jelly babies (lollies) and each colour represeented a different group of people
such as.. yellow = women, purple = migrants, blue = men, orange = boys, red = over 65s and green = girls
damn i just said all of them = =
oh well.
anyway, we got to pick up these random cards and they told us what to do with our population
both of mine were negative: one was to lose two women due to a flood
the other one was to lose half of the women due to aids and prostitution o_O"
we got to eat the lollies after! i like ^_^

was meant to get drafts back from mrs bracey for eng yesterday
there was a slight problem.. she was away!! D:
on the sign it said: "13 August - Mrs Bracey is away today. But STAY CALM! She will give her english class's drafts back on MONDAY!"
me *think* : "our english oral start on monday though.. i'm screwed"

yea so.. it's saturday already.. should i maybe practice my fail draft?
nah.. not worth the effort *sigh*
i just really hope that we get a looooooooong extension

in no limits yesterday, we saw the magic robot! it's like this round thing
and you twist the robot, and then put it on this mirror thing and it'll tell you the answer
it may sound confusing.. you need to see it to know what i mean :)

started 07 ghost, since even more people than before were saying that it was good
i'm already on ep 11 now (: sooo .. that's sorta progress
though i've done nothing productive the whole day D;

and i've decided i'm going to the barbecue thingy tomorrow from 12:30 - 2:30 ish
i'm going for the foood!! i'm gonna stuff my face :D
hopefully i won't look too much like a pig

happy birthday adreanna!
and happy birthday sadida! i'm still looking for you.. hopefully i'll meet you again in this lifetime
your birthday is on a saturday again.. brings back some memories..
and a few regrets..
hope you're still doing well in indonesia
and hope you're able to visit australia again someday!

2010-08-12T04:57:00.000-07:00

yesterday, the lightbulb shattered for no reason.. near jack
i didn't see it personally, but that's what the witness claims
spent quite a while picking up glass.. since it got on the sofa too

jack downloaded A-Team. he's turned rebel. though it was fun watching it (:
rather hilarious at times

it was very very windy today. wished i could make it windy tomorrow rather than today

my eng has been handed in to teacher. hopefully she got it
as for my ecn, it's due tomorrow period 1. not completely finished..
though they're both drafts, so i think i'll live
szeyan is not helping me anymore unfortunately
she's apparently given up coz i refuse to work completely by myself.
yea childish i know. oh well..

got several invitations to go to this week..
first there's samuel's ice skating tomorrow.. don't think i'll make it
second is paul's church service thing, also tomrorow.. dont think i'll go to that either
third is a barbecue on sunday, paul's church also. since it's all fun and games, and lots of food to look forward to, i might just go (: tight schedule with badminton though.. gonna have to consider again

i feel like i've wasted these two days D:
that's probably coz i have..

yay it's friday tomrorow! then another 2 days. that's so great. i feel like i don't needa get up tomrrow, though i do *sigh* oh well

ANU visit

2010-08-10T04:19:00.000-07:00

it rained today
first time it's rained in a while

ANU came to visit the school in lunch
the lady was late coz of rain apparently
learnt a little about actuary, though not much, since lunch didn't last that long
everyone there except for one person, was asian :D
do you know what that means? ANU is smart ;P *racist much*

stil raining throughout the night :)
at this rate, won't have to go to horse riding
can't wait to enjoy my unexpected weekend

two drafts due on friday: english and ecn. both expected to be pro by respective teachers
basically scrwewed, yet i'm still watching death note
getting more and more interesting by the minute
must keep watching...
i must remember to do my assignments!

photos

2010-08-09T04:18:00.000-07:00

back to school D:
i don't like mondays
all they do is tell you that you have a whole week of school ahead of you = =
however this time, there's a 2 day break in between~ how awesome :)
found out that my niece in malaysia often skips school D:
no fair.. she has skippped every friday since the beginning of july
how lucky.. *Sigh*

in assembly, tim had another epic speech ;D though they only had 2 min in total
so it got severely shortened. either way, he had alot of fans cheering for him

anyway , had photos in period 4 :) they were screwed up though
i was hoping to miss out on a huge chunk of maths B , but they only lasted about 10 min.. we were walking back to class ASAP (as slowly as possible)
this was a bad time to have a photos.. my mouth was fully dry.. couldn't fix that
and i got cut on the nose remembr? probably not..
hopefully it doesn't show!

oh and have i mentioned that the HOD for maths in bshs? his eyes are freaky..
it really doesn't match the rest of him. brown eyes would look normal on him..
guess what he's got? light blue.. makes him look like he might have a byakugan, but then again, it's rather obvious that he hasn't
i wonder if he's wearing coloured contacts.. hmm..

{eco draft due tomorrow.. something due tomorrow for eng, can't remember what. i'd better start working}

another day of badminton

2010-08-08T00:53:00.000-07:00

badminton again today :)
colin didn't come.. coz i think i told his mum that we were leaving at 3..
instead of 'getting there' at 3
so he kinda missed it. he was outside when we left *sigh*

when we arrived, aaron sinnathamby was already there, while i was informed that matt was at gavin's house, and they hadn't left yet = ="
whoever goes to gavin's place, ends up arriving late by agesss
andrew arrived a while after, as he came separately from the rest

we got a decent amount of play each, though apparently it was "full" so gavin couldn't play? o.o
he didn't end up paying, but eventually played with us :)
lucky for him in a way
though i didn't know the place could be full o_O

it was plenty of fun, though i didn't realy enjoy playing on the courts without nets much
since it was hard to tell who won, plus it was kinda dark..
hopefully, twins + aaron + gavin will come next week
so i won't be so bored with noone to vs

oh yea, towards the end, we were meant to be: andrew + me vs jack + aaron
but this little kid was just hitting the shuttle at jack and wouldn't get off..
so i ended up ditching andrew and played with the kid
the little guy didn't even know the rules.. so it's expected that we lost
though we didnt' 'get to finish since it was packing up time.. score = 18/9 *sigh*
oh well. i think i did pretty well considering

crap i forgot about english.. which is due tomorrow: the plan or the draft?
if it's the plan, i think i'll be ok.. if it's the draft.. i'm screwed

more anime (:

2010-08-07T03:13:00.000-07:00

so i've recently finished code geass R2
it took a while longer than i expected, since i ended up delaying it
so many people ended up coming back from the dead unexpectedly
i won't mention who as it will be like a spoiler..
and until the very last moment.. (which means the last 5 or so min of the last ep)
i didn't know who the good guy was anymore o_O
but yea it was a great anime overall. so much technicall stuff, but kept me on edge the whole time
can't wait until season 3! there is gonna be a season 3... right??

i've also recently started the anime 'air gear'
at first it was kinda confusing. then all the ranks started coming out and i got interested
especially with the 8 road kings and stuff. it's also pretty amusing (:

this morning i got cut by the fridge D: on my nose!
my nose now has a red line across it. *sigh*

went to dinner with kelly's family. apart from the fact the kids didn't show up, it was alright
the food was pretty good.. (my standard of good)
it was at the 'china inn' place that was full last time. we booked this time :)

there's word that my family is going with other family friends to some horseriding thing on wednesday.. can't believe my mum booked my day off out D:
fortunately, we have friends coming.. but felix and maro aren't coming anymore
and clive is too busy with his studies..
that means that apart from me, colin and jack, the rest are girls younger than us who talk about nothing *sigh*
(apart from phillip who's too small to ride)
we definitely need more people..
more interesting people.. in fact, who wants to come?
if anyone's interested, ask me for details. may cost alot though, since it's horseriding

oh yay loosk like gavin, matt and andrew are coming to badminton tomorrow :)
and aaron sinnathamby maybe too
i think it'll be alot more fun

anyway, happy birthday anthony and bevan chen! haven't seen you guys in a while
except you bevan, saw you at the library last time
you're both so tall now *sigh* hope you're doing well

busy day

2010-08-06T03:33:00.000-07:00

today was rather hectic
fully busy
i managed to finish my prefect ap late last night
planned on putting it on commmon drive in ecn class, but forgot D:
in form, anisha told me to sign it.. when i accidentally signed the wrong place
so i had to reprint *sigh*
at morning tea, i got ms tyler's and mr ruben's signatures
while getting mrs heilbronn's signature in period 3
afterwards, i went with amaryllis to hand in our applications
can't believe she's actually 15 this year o.O and she's so pro at economics + english..
what a pro. she skipped grade 7.. *sigh* unbelievable

afterward i put the file onto common drive in the library during lunch, i attended no limits (:
not as fun as usual since i came late and not many ppl, still lollies :D
and we did this attempt at making a house of some sort of a piece of paper
that could withstand a blow of wind.
mine completely failed (: oh welll

so lucky i picked mrs heilbronn to sign my prefect thing instead of mr hansen
since he didn't even end up coming o_O
if i picked him, then my prefect ap would be completely screwed up

in 4b, there was music. i actually practiced last night :)
so this lesson wasn't that torturous

if i get prefect, this is gona be so gay next year. ;P
then again.. hmm i wonder..

getting up early tomorrow to make breakfast? *sigH* i don't like getting up early

westpac D:

2010-08-05T05:01:00.000-07:00

westpac maths comp this morning D:
can't believe i was still late after getting up so early
the bus driver waited so long at plaza.. then there was a traffic jam
i could see the slow reaction of the cars in front =_="
anyway, i saw others afterwards still walkling even at 8:05 so i started walking too
when i got there, they had already started D: missed out on like 10 min of time
anyway, i kinda got stuck on q 4..
the number 63 is 87.5% of what number? *gives list*
i spent about 10 min on this one.. since we weren't allowed to use a calculator
i was wrong about losing points for getting it wrong..
but the "no calculator" rule pissed me off really bad.. failed so bad *sigh*

anyway, flavius was meant to get me some newspapers to find a new article. i wasn't that committed coz i already found, but oh well. he had 3. he took today's one afterwards, and dumped me with the rest ;P quite a lot of newspapers to put in my bag..

in PCL, the teacher brought us to F block, where we were meant to get a speech by some ppl.. apparently they didn't show up
so the moment we got there, we left.
as for eng, the teacher was busy and didn't bother marking our plan *rejoice!-ish*

upon taking 139 from griffith, i met marian again. she ditched david wu and aaron ngoi to sit with me (: feel special
learnt some things about how she used to do like 20 extra curricular stuff just to do prefect.. then she got rejected o_O
i think that's completely unacceptable by mr kay, ms may, ms clark, and mr miller
shame on them D:

anyway, szseyan hasn't come on. but i've been motivated somewhat to do it myself
i've actually done quite a bit
so i think i'm gonna go through with it. wish me luck! in getting through the fear of asking for a signature from the devil mr ruben himself D;
jokes. he's not that bad. just... i think he hates me o.o

work overload D;

2010-08-04T02:50:00.000-07:00

in maths C this morning, mr hansen was walking to the back of the classroom when he suddenly spotted a white jacket on the floor in the middle of nowhere, taking in the sun's rays
teacher: "who's jumper is this?"
brian: "that's mine"
teacher: "so you're doing your drycleaning?" ^_^

we met will's homestay at morning tea. i think his name is 'tomoya'. will does jap , so he's taking care of a jap student atm. that's realy cool. i wish i could take care of one or two, but i don't do jap and my parents wouldn't let anyway
at lunch, nipuna asked him the question: "do you read manga?"
tomoya answered: "obviously" ;P
he appears to be reading every manga.. though it may be a slight exaggeration

as for accounting, ms backer is back also :) with the girls at the back of the classroom, classes are as hectic as ever.. as they laugh crazily over nothing

mr salama taught us some SMH today (simple harmonic motion). he drew three graphs with different periodic functions on each and asked us which would be displacement, velocity and acceleration
this new guy next to me was like: "that one's displacement, veloctiy and acceleration *while pointing*"
teacher asked *with smile-ish* : "how did you know that?"
guy: "it says s, v and a on the side of the graph"
:P i'm assuming mr salama thought he was a genius of some sort

in economics, i didn't manage to get any work done. though that's not the problem
the problem is, i still don't know exactly what issue i'm gonna do!
i'm thinking cheap labour but i can't find another article..
after watching the news, i'm thinking pension underpayment, though i haven't even found a single one about it yet
i was previously mass-searching for newspapers to look at.. (i've run out)
but now i'm hoping that there will be something in flavius's newspapers
he's only got 2 atm, so it's a big gamble
please something good be in there!

as for westpac, ms backer and ms tyler were talking about how you lose marks if you get a question wrong.. damn almost forgot about that
which means it's not good to guess. i'd better remember that
also, no calculators allowed! D: i'm screwed. forgot how to do multiplication/division via paper and pen/pencil

oh and @ szeyan, received my email yet about the prefect thingy?
yea i don't think mr ruben will want to sign my thingy since my attendance to lessons and rehearsals is down the drain
so my chcance of actually handing in a finished application thing would still only be a chance.. all up to what my mind thinks at the time
anyway, up early tomrow for the westpac. wish me luck!
must get another high distinction so i don't feel like crap~ *no self-confidence*
i don't know why i'm typing this post up .. since i'm meant to be unbelievably busy atm. oh well

failed life

2010-08-03T04:19:00.000-07:00

in english , we got computer rooms :) to do research and stuff for our articles
problem is, i still haven't picked mine D: i spent the whole lesson looking for one.. still nothing.
also wasted half the lesson on a computer that was extremely slow
took me a while to realise that the results would be different if i simply changed computers
ms dee is back :D substitute teachers are alot more interesting that normal teachers
we're learning matrices again in maths C (: only now, they're retarded
especially the gaussian elimination method. it seems as if there were hundreds of possible ways to get different answers for them.

as for economics, ms mcgary is also back ^^ always a nice touch
and ms nava has informed us that we only need 3 focus questions if we don't feel like we need to add anything
so i'm not really sure.. research notes are gonna get marked tomorrow

i like physics coz the teacher lets us out early :) almost every time
works very well on tuesdays, since it's the last lesson of the day
especially since bshs doesn't use bells ;)
that's one thing it's useful for. i think mr salama's watch is early or something..
though he always comes really late to class.. oh well.

szeyan has helped me somewhat with english. she suggested drink driving
though i found that there isn't really another side to this debate
which is rather detrimental to my assessment..
i've found others: speeding, asbestos and cheap labour.
right now, i'm leaning towards cheap labour, though i've only found one article so far
what should i do? D: plan is due thursday.
reminds me, i gotta study for westpac maths comp!! or not.. not sure if it's study-able

dunno what to call this post

2010-08-02T04:44:00.001-07:00

oh i didn't think i'd get to post today
since i spent like 10 - 20 min before trying to log on.. alot of effort much?

last night, unexpected had another camp in the rumpus. we watched "the pianist"
it was rather old-fashioned.. and biased
though i support their side.. the nazis were so mean..
they punched a jew just coz he didn't bow to them while walking on the side of the road.. and one of the police guys shot a lady in the head for asking what they were gonna do with them
and with the prisoners.. they picked out every 4th person and executed them randomly.. no logic to them. i felt so helpless that i oculdn't stop them..
then again, it happend like 60 yearse ago. no can do..
rather sad story
oh yea, then after the movie FINALLY finished really really late, jack and mum watched the bonus features..
these were no normal bonus features.. they went for frickin 50 minutes!
i got so pissed at it after a while (coz i couldn't sleep) that i went to sleep outside.. to find that it just finished.. i spent like 48 min waiting under the bedsheets

anyway, i met josh cham on the bus this morning. he was running late for his lecture
fortunately, that doesn't matter so much for uni students.. damn you guys
i really wanna go to uni

for english, i still haven't figured out what i'm gonna do
btw, last week some time, i found this article about how scientists have proved that the out of the egg and the chicken, the chicken came first :)
because the egg's shell is made out of a special protein formed only in a chicken's ovaries.. yea.. nice job scientists..
at the end, it added "however, researchers have still not discovered how the protein-producing chicken came about in the first place"
me: "no duh. if they found that out, they would know the secret to life itself."

in the notices, it said that no limits was on today. i was surprised.. and rather happy and looking forward to it
unfortuantely,... no cigar
might've been a reprint.. D: oh well

downloaded lots of new songs yesterday. and added them to ipod (:
still haven't finished listening to them

as for my assignments.. they're screwed up
english tomorrow - only computer lesson for figuring out what to do
economics tomorrow - teacher is marking our enquiry log so yea.. i gotta write something down fast

recently thought of merging my eng and ecn topics.. well just on the eng point of view
maybe i could do my articles/seminar on paid parental leave scheme :)

oh and also, this thought struck me: do i read slow coz i don't like manga? o.O
maybe i should try reading manga and then i'll read fast/english will improve..
just a thought..

badminton - weird. tasty land = gone D:

2010-08-01T01:30:00.000-07:00

the family camping last night turned out to be rather boring. as expected
we watched slumdog millionaire first, which wasn't nearly as bad as i expected it to be :)
after that, we watched "the road". i thought this one would be good since it got a good rating also, and its setting was post-apocalypse.
but i was immensely disappointed D:
today marks the first day we've been allowed to start watching a movie (on dvd) with our family after 8pm; in this case, starting at 10:30pm :)
we finished it at 12:30am, and we slept on the floor of the rumpus
took a long time to get to sleep as a result of all the snoring o.O

badminton again today :D colin came with us again
still no other friends came.. due to the UQ open day thing D;
i played really crap today. who knows why.. and it wasn't as fun
coz alot more ppl played on our court this time
didn't mean we didn't get to play.. i just somehow it made us less social with the other people that we don't know, since they have more ppl to talk to (if that makes any sense?)
oh and i found out a few things...
cynthia (one of the little kids from last week) is actually not a little kid..
in fact, she's year 11 O_O"
she goes to somerville house.. and she's doing maths A, B and C? (i don't know how.. i'm not even sure if she's telling the truth)
and apparently, she is noel(jack's mshs friend)'s cousin.. which is even more strange
deja vu much?
although that does clear up a few things.. such as why her english is so good
i don't know how.. but she's doing like 8 subjects? i thought it was fatal 5..
english, maths A, B, C, chem, physics, chinese.. that's 7. i'm a little lost atm

anyway, there were several newbies this time. alot of them didn't know how to hit the shuttle
one guy (who i thought was pro coz he played in the pro court a little earlier) turns out to be able the shuttle very high... and that's about it
other than getting blinded by the light, his tactics don't have that much use
although he stil played better than me since i was crap today TT_TT
oh yea, colin met one of his friends from school . that 'friend' is one of those pro kids from several weeks ago. the one that didn't show up last week
they were like hardcore vsing each other ;P
colin has as a result, gotten most of his skill back and can play better than me and jack
he can also do that cheap shot where you're right in front of the net and you just smack it down onto the ground really fast.. no chance to retaliate at all
whenever colin missed the shuttle when playing with us, those two pro kids laughed at him ;P just for fun i guess

after this big mess, we went to little taipei again ^^
colin was looking forward to the deep fried chicken at tasty land
but guess what? for some reason, it closed down o_O
my mum said it went bankrupt.. i dunno why since it was getting pretty good customers lately
anyway, colin is very upset at not being able to get any chhicken
we went to the sizzling steak place , where we got the deal of "buy 5, get one free"
even though we only have 5 ppl..
we got served an extra side dish, plus one of the waitresses came over at some point to give us a whole extra meal O.O
i started to wish we actually accepted it ;P though that would make me feel very guilty on the inside. oh well, i'm quite satisfied with the extra drink :)

gotta start my ecn... it's due tuesday.. and i gotta start my english too (due friday but there's heaps to be done) D:

family camp at home?

2010-07-31T03:02:00.000-07:00

UQ open day tomorrow? i'm not going.. but i know of heaps who are
already asked phoebe to help me suggest to the ppl there about starting actuarial studies course
i think it may have a greater effect than letter (:

family camping tonight.. at home.. we're gonna sleep in the rumpus
does that even count as camping??
and we're gona be watching movies like slumdog millionaire..
it got good ratings but looks extremely boring. i'm not looking forward to it
currently can't find any keroro gunso eps of 141+ D:
so i've started heroic age and am finishing off code geass R2
getting there..
other than that, pretty boring day
heard nothing about SLQ happening tomorrow

sudden comp O_o

2010-07-30T01:25:00.000-07:00

it's a friday! claire mentioned that it felt like a tuesday, since we skipped school on wednesday (: it was also foggy this morning..
after a few additional hours, it became really hot! i dunno why.. doesn't make any sense

in economics, i showed up to class when kelsy asked me if i had studied...
me: "studied for what?"
kelsy: "how come no one remembers? the economics competition?"
me: *had completely forgotten about it*
i hardcore studied in the last 3-ish minutes before ms nava showed up to class
anyway, i also had a little look through the australian budget plan for 2010-2011
until david said that there wouldn't be anything on it about that..
how wrong he was.. the first 5 questions were about it D:
they were also basically the hardest questions on the competition o.O
the first thing david said when we opened the paper : *jokey voice* "what the ****. this is bull****" *realisation that he was wrong* ;P
there was also the question: "who is the current environment minister?
i was thinking either penny wong, or peter garrett but wasn't really sure
good thing i guesed it right (: it was the latter
after we handed it in, teacher pretty much had a look through it and gave us answers to it on the spot
doesn't seem like a normal comp..
oh crap! i have westpac maths comp next thursday! i'm so screwed
recently found out that calculators are not allowed D: better start learning multiplication and division via paper again TT_TT

morning tea was spent helping phoebe with something again. only took 5 min this time so it was good :) uhh wasn't able to cross to buy something. instead i stayed smart and bought something on the same side as the one i was on ^^

in physics, me, nipuna and raymond talked about anime + manga throughout
mentions of naruto, gundam seed + destiny and a few others in there ;P
hm i think i'll rewatch seed soon since it was so good (;

we had no limits today :D we split from the year 8/9/10 group this time
we played this ninja game. it was kinda weird.. but i completely screwed up
i got out first D; me and paul skipped out on the next game :) since i find it funner to watch than to play
there was chips and lollies going around. i was looking forward to the lolllies.. then i found out that they were chocolate flavour o.O
which doesn't taste so good D: *sigh*
anyway, no limits was fun! as usual. i can't wait until next time

oh and today is the first time in a long time.. that i've seen a 130 come within the first 20 min of getting to the busway after school as well as being able to get on it (:

{i needa finish ecn enquiry log by tuesday and get all my notes for english done by friday (including finding my chosen articles..) i'm so screwed}

also realised that my bag is really really heavy today.. not unbearable but my back really hurts D: on fridays i have economics (notebook + enquiry log), then physics + maths B + maths C (each having a notebook + medium/heavy-ish textbook)
all this adds up to super heavy bag! i don't like my friday bag =_=" freaky fridays!

first summative examm

2010-07-29T02:18:00.000-07:00

another day passes - farout i can't get up in the morning at 6:30..
i got up a little late.. and ended up getting to school at 8am (music rehearsal begins at 7:30)
after rehearsal, the teacher gave out a message to everyone that it was "unacceptable to arrive 15-20 min late" .. which kinda sucks since i came 30 min late

at morning tea, i waited in the library for phoebe to help her understand her derivatives problems.. this meeting was planned the night before
and guess what? she came late! well it's not that bad.. i was studying accounting while waiting for her to show up
it all worked out fine. except she photocopied the page of questions, and forgot to photocopy the answers - so we couldn't check ;P

in PCL, i studied accounting for the first 30ish minutes. then we got this powerpoint slides show of lateral thinking (: how fun
we also saw some optical illusions. very interesting

i actually went to the library to study for accounting during lunch
last minute study

first summative exam of my life:
accounting exam.. it started at 2:25 (: (40 min exam)
so we got like 15 min of extra study during class
the exam paper was really easy . it was all stuff we did in class
unfortunately, i forgot the exact setting out for some of the sentences D:
so some of them may not have turned out so well..
i found 5 problems :) unfortunately, i don't know the exact controls required to implement like 2 of them..
but! fortunately, we only had to write the memo for 3 :) lucky!
oh and, the memo was a little long as usual . kinda like an essay
the teacher said that "when you get to the bottom of the paper, use the other side. save the trees!"
and yay! my exam is over! now i better start doing english = =
and my economics.. i think the research was meant to be finished for tomorrow ! and i haven't started... D;

just visiting

2010-07-28T00:40:00.000-07:00

today was athletics carnival, so i skipped (:
it rained early this morning though.. pretty hard..so i had some doubts as to whether the carnival was still on
however, since i woke up at 9am (late) and i already handed in a note anyway, i'm sure it's all fine
i planned this morning to get to mshs to visit - plan: ~1.3 hours to get there
result: 40 min to get there. leftover of ~40 minutes to waste
ended up walking around ish.. then i went to ask for visitor's pass
which absolutely failed... since i'm apparently not allowed to visit students..
so as a result, i wasn't allowed inside the school grounds.. or something like that
only allowed to ask teachers up to see me. which kinda sucks, since i'm not sure if i wanna bother them or not
so... i only ended up calling ms wee by accident. though it was alright
yaer 10s in physical science are making rollercoasters D: no fair! i wanna do that
so much better than boats..

first saw brandon, gavin, szeyan and wilson at the greenhouse, feeding their plants
how fun.. i wanted to see them, but no chance.. *sigh*
ended up sneaking into the school.. took a while since i was waiting for the map buses to leave so that no teachers saw me. and i had to wait behind assembly hall
often freaking out when seeing a teacher.. good thing karshing, leo and szeyan usually warned me when one was coming
andrew and sarah came to visit my little corner until period 4 started = map
then i saw charlie ;P he was wagging. i think he always does this
i didn't really know when to leave.. so i planned to leave at 2:00 sharp
however, at this time, i saw mr kalpakadis just there... so i couldn't move for a whole 10 min D:
though when he left, i decided to take a final turn around F block before going
as i passed the mathematics room (with ms lamb), heaps of the asian guys waved to me
which was rather unexpected
also saw darren and eunice at some point..
somehow through a turn of events, i saw geoff and nick in F09, who invited me in (with permission of ms bairstow).. i don't know how they got the permission..
i see ms bairstow in a completely different light now :D
so yea.. ended up spending the rest of period 4 listening to ken, szeyan and caitlin's conversations, discussions and arguments
about writing on others' books, stealing each other's pencil cases, gum, pacers, etc.. and they had problems with equality?
rather surprisingly, ken was the only one who didn't ignore me
parent teacher interviews tonight ;P so we had to arrange the desks in the last 10 min
after getting out, saw some more old friends like david wu, emily, gordon, kevin, danny, tony, and that gang. they were using a lighter + aerosol to make a flamethrower
david mentioned that they do this all day long ;P how fun
*sigh* good old days.. why did i move..

also, my dad told me to give out chocolates to my friends
forgot to give them to ms wee, brandon, gavin and zubayr D:
anyway, gave them to szeyan and told her to share with the others
i think it turned out rather strangely, because vivien apparently took the whole thing.. shreena thought they were szeyan's and decided to just eat them ;P
oh well.. i wonder if those things were any good

180s don't come often enough.. had to wait 25ish minutes for it to show up.
absolutely disgraceful. felt really bad for not leaving early to get home earlyh
oh well.. got to see some interesting things and more old friends
like matt and nelson. matt is freaking super tall now.. if i put my hand up with a horizontal palm, i'm stlil not as tall as he is = ="
i want some of his growth.. he's like 190cm now D:

anyway, accounting exam tomorrow o.O i think i'll leave my study for tomorrow..
since it's in period 4 (: gives me some time to study during lunch and stuff
hopefully i'll get everything sorted out by then

*sigh* i wonder what i did to make you act so.. (reminder to myself)

anyway, the day was mostly worth it in the end
mostly good, just some bad things.. i won't mention them this time

a gay day.. what to do tomorrow?

2010-07-27T02:57:00.000-07:00

this morning, i left home early for school, coz i happened to finish up a little earlier
however, halfway there, i realised we were stopping for a long time at around kessels road..
turns out there was some accident in that area
so even though i left home early, i ended up getting to school late = ="
how retarded.. had to get a late pass.
and i also found out that the student number that i had memorised and kept in my mind for several months.. is wrong D:
it's not 038027.. it's 038327 .. *sigh* my memory is crap

we got our english essays back this lesson
it said B- for essay.. wth!! teacher said i got a B!
i ended up debating.. and managed to get a B (:
though.. i'm still crap.. some of my criteria were in the C range D:
mrs bracey showed me some A grade essays to show me what an example of what i had to write..
she showed me erin's essay (erin is super pro.. i think she got 100% in physics)
i found that she spelt liesel's name wrong.. and most of her (s)'s looked like (n)s..
due to this, i took extremely long to read.
oh and, while reading the essay, ppl talked about fair trade chocolate, and how it all apparently sold out..
now they're thinking of putting up the price and i haven't even got any yet!! D;

in economics, we got some help with group 2. all the focus questions i developed.. were completely INcorrect! D:
teacher gave us first 3.. now we have to figure out the rest
dunno where to start..
fortunately, amaryllis has agreed to help me in exchange for help with maths B :D
lucky !! maybe i'll get an A- or something this time
oh and the teacher kept getting her to show off paul keating's autograph to the class
some of the others are regretting not staying longer yesterday (:

in physics, we watched a short youtube video called "apparent weight and true weight"
to learn about apparent weight and true weight (obviously)
the guy who talked's voice was rather annoying imo, but some concepts came out rather hilarious ;P
here's the site ppl : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbNJv1VNWu8
start learning!
oh and we got let out of class like 5 whole minutes early!
not that it really helped..
ended up taking an early bus to griffith. and waiting for a 139.. *sigh*
the first one comes at 3:31.. which is too early for me

anyway, athletics carnival tomorrow! and i'm not going!
so.. i'm still trying to figure out what to do tomorrow
should i visit mshs? not really sure..
basic alternative : go to gold coast with family
which would suck... so i'm not really sure D:

i should maybe study for my accounting exam that's on thursday..
