Final round of Premier's Debating Challenge against our own Year 10 team. Outcome was expected but at least we didn't get thrashed and got pretty positive feedback. We're improving, hopefully we go further next year. I expected the Year 10 team to be a lot less attacking when they spoke, especially against their own Year 9 team lol, but their manner was really provocative and kinda really pounding on us and saying we don't understand the topic. I know it's a debate and all but the speakers seem like they were attacking us personally as individuals and implying we were stupid, I think that's just taking it a bit too far. But that really lowered my self esteem rofl and I couldn't write any rebuttals properly for the rest of the debate. Hope the Year 10 do well. Hurlstone pride ;)

And HBD JACQUELINE :)

Didn't do my english speech today even though I desperately wanted to. Didn't think Mr Wenban would let me volunteer after he did the "picking names out of the hat" thing cos people didn't want to volunteer. My order is around 10th for tomorrow and I don't think there'll be enough time. I'm pissed off. I want to get it out of the way.

Maths test moved to Thursday for me and Alvin, oh thank you -_-'

I was sitting down waiting for Mr Peck to come up. He comes up, puts his hand out "Need a hand up?" Jealous, Vanessa?! :L Rofl, we had to draw male and female reproductive systems in science today and Mr Peck was like, "I know a lot of you boys like to draw these on rubbers and desks and in your spare time, and now we're doing it!" and Alan goes,

"Sir, Andy traces his one!"

Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship ft Leighton Meester is actually a very good song. Found it on iTunes store, Cobra Starship sounds really really radio/pop-ish in this song? Maybe it's just me. But yeah, I say 3.5/5 for this song! A good power pop song never hurt anyone.

First day of Term 3, ladies and gentlemen. How was it? Dull and usual. I think they should test people who want to become english teachers and see if they have an accepting personality, accepting enough to accept that in english: there is no definite answer. My Year 8 english teacher said so himself: as long as you can back it up and it's logical. Gawwwwd, I hate Year 9 english so much. English speeches tomorrow. Everybody ready? A-okay!

my guinea pig had twins :)

Also started geography which is for the next two terms and I found out that Mr Kearney has a best friend that lives in Canberra, that Mr Kearney misses and also cries over. The cries over bit hasn't been 100% confirmed because he kinda implied I didn't have any friends so I had to defend myself, but he was hesitant to answer, so everyone, interrogate Mr Kearney! Oh, and Halley (?) came for a visit and took revenge on our HSIE teacher as well.

I'm stressing like no tomorrow. Debate against Year 10s tomorrow, holy fishsticks indeed. We all know we're going to get -explosion-

Labels: everyday

Added 187 songs by The Kooks into my iTunes library last night. They are simply magical and their music is so calming, especially in this stressful time when I fear I might explode and all around me will also cease to exist: the end of time! Also known as, back to school. Which is also known as, cram time.

Laugh out loud at all the people who have not started english. We are on the same boat. Well, not really, I've just finished my mise-en-scene.

Nothing much to say, see you guys all tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit drab. All this homework, I never noticed it piling up because I cleaned up my room and moved the pile of books somewhere. I swear, it was accurate when they classified me as a visual learner with needs of visual aids and reminders.

Do you love her?

Once again, my day has concluded and turned out to be extremely unproductive. Spent most of my awake hours filling out my application form for another job- I say another because technically I'm employed right now, to hell with that though- and wondering which topic I would like to advance my speech on. I am one indecisive bitch.

I've been awake for 12 hours and 10 minutes and I am about to go back into bed.

Holidays are meant to be fun! What's the point of teachers use them as an opportunity to distribute as much homework as they can to you, and when you sigh they reply "It's the holidays. You have two weeks. Stop complaining." That's exactly why we're complaining.

Come to think of it, I have not completed any set homework fully. And if you look back, you'll find one previous post nearly almost exactly the same as this one stressing about unfinished homework. I'm seriously dumbing down.

I was going to put Mr Kearney as a reference on my job application, and fill in the Position/Profession box with "Criminal Prosecutor" but a) Mr Kearney wouldn't give me his phone number, now, would he? and b) they'll think I murdered someone.

Commence stress: NOW.

Date 22nd July 2009
Where Parramatta
Who The boyz at the start, minus one because Israaq didn't wake up in time
What I acquired:



Hymns For The Nonbeliever by Kisschasy @ JB Hi-Fi $14.95



Louder Now by Taking Back Sunday @ JB Hi-Fi $9.99



Normal Is Just A Setting On The Dryer @ Dymocks $19.99 $4.99



Paul Frank T-shirt @ St Vincent's de Paul $2


I hate CityRail. (So what else is new?) This morning, I counted exactly $2.80 out of my coin bank for the train ticket. I go up to the machine, I'm inserting my coins, great, great, a few just slide down to the ticket compartment but no problem, I'll pick it up and put it back into the slot. For once, everything was great in my life. SUDDENLY. The coin slot shut and it said:

MAXIUMUM TEN COINS

What the bloody 'ell! Argh, I had 20c left and that would have completed my $2.80, I only had $10 and $20 notes on me so I had to put in my $10 note and get a massive bombardment of coins into my purse. Freaking.

Escaped Parramatta Westfields today! Explored the rest of Parramatta, my feet were screaming in pain by the end of it. I never knew there was a JB Hi-Fi on George St. Went to the Salvation Army's Jum Shop, managed to buy a nice dog-bag-carrier-thing for only $2 as well. There were these white flats, technically not because they had a bit of heel, with a nice design and all for only $10 but it had a yellow stain :'(

Spent most of the day in Dymocks and JB Hi-Fi. I love having friends of both female and male friends. My girlies can come clothes shopping with me and not get tired of it while the boyz can venture into bookstores and JB and not ask to go anywhere else. Yup. Besides, the last time I took Israaq, Thai and Nathan into Sportsgirl, they could only bear about 1.5 minutes before they went running out. (Apparently, everything was weird and not in enough for them.)

HOW I LOVE GUY T-SHIRTS. The guy t-shirts @ Myer in the Dangerfield and Pulp Kitchen department are to die for. I can't afford much in Myer without going broke anyway.

Today was the best but I can not be bothered to blog: homework overload.

Labels: holidays

I'm listening to The Best Of You And Me by Number One Gun and it's such a beautiful song. Really. I forget about most of my old songs as new ones enter my library.

First off, I hope you all enjoyed my previous post on my weird and wacky dreams. There'll be one again soon. I've had many since Saturday. Wink, wink.



Julie won MasterChef! Hurrah! I really thought Poh would have killed Julie in the dessert challenge because Poh's a dessert expert. Damn you all who are still telling me off about Asian pride. Julie dominated, all you I'm-azn-so-I-love-Poh people, she beat Poh in all three challenges. And 9/10 from all the judges for the chocolate dish. Legend. No one dare defy me! I mean, Julie. And apparently Poh was a muse for some big painter and there's all these naked paintings of her. A big laugh out loud to all you supporters now!

I take that back, I just googled it and yes, it's true but the paintings aren't even that controversial. Go look at it. Even you, Alvin Chung, who screams at the mention of the word homosexual.

I've been strangely addicted to my iPod apps. (Boys who are reading this, stop reading now, you wouldn't have the slightest chance of empathising with me.) I bought Sally's Spa and Supermarket Mania yesterday, and they're such a good time waster, they've wasted my whole day of which I could have spent on my stupid english speech! Not really, last night I couldn't sleep till 6AM and ended waking up at 1PM. My body clock is seriously messed up. .. I hate my life. Well, they're good games and good value for $1.19 each. Graphics are good, and there's many levels. And that's my review for those apps! Yes! I FAIL.

Now, what the fuck is tillage?

Labels: holidays

Sleeping for at least 9 hours every night for the past week has resulted in many vivid dreams involving a lot of random people. Here's some:

I: I Was Destined For Law
I received a letter in the mail that I was chosen to be on a jury. My mum and dad thought it would distract me, as it was my exam period, and so they decided to hide it. When I found out, I got realllllly mad and ran away from home.
Explanation This dream most likely occurred because I was thinking about my future job before I fell asleep. I think about the weirdest things before I sleep. And my english teacher said something about being picked to be on a jury randomly and you'll probably get chosen one day.

II: Cá Kho With Vivian
I was at a Vietnamese restaurant with Vivian and we were eating cá kho. And Vivian took the first bite with chopsticks and I could smell it, and I don't like cá kho so I just sat there and watched her eat.
Explanation I think it was because I had steamed fish for dinner.

III: Emerson Tried To Kill Me
Sunny was driving the car, Vanessa in the other front seat and I was in the back. We were driving home from school when we saw a hitchhiker that looked like Emerson and it was Emerson so we stopped for him. Emerson had bright red hair. Then Emerson said he has a crush on one of my Year 1 teachers so we agreed to drive to Smithfield to reunite him with Miss Barnier. On the way, we passed a house that had a picture of her and her husband on her window, and it was huge and I saw it. I said, "Emerson, I think she's married!" and Emerson got really mad at me so he said, "Wendy, listen to this Big Bang song" so I took one of his earphones and then my ear exploded. Emerson got his revenge on me. And Vanessa and Sunny had no idea all of this was going on.
Explanation I have no fucking idea. I was on Emerson's blog and listening to Big Bang? :L OH, and Sunny told me to download the uHear app to test my ears.

IV: I Was Luigi
I was playing Mario Kart. I was actually in the game, and so was Margaret, Jacqueline, Cheryl-Anne, Nathan, Colin and Wilson. I was winning but then Cheryl Anne threw the shell at me so I dropped down to 5th rank. Margaret grabbed my hand and we used our items together and we came equal 1st! Then at the end, the part where you parade around because you come first/second/third, me and Margaret got knocked over my Cheryl-Anne so she got disqualified.
Explanation I was playing Mario Kart before I went to bed. That's why now I play Cooking Mama instead :L

V: Mitchell Marries Mannequin
It was nearly my wedding and I walked past a Wedding Dress Boutique with Mitchell and I saw the dress, the perfect one I wanted to get married in on the display window on a mannequin. It was strapless, the bodice part was sequined with diamonds and the bottom was just flowing and silky. So I went in and I told the lady and she took it off for me, and I tried it on. Then I got out of the dressing room to show Mitchell but he was hugging the mannequin that my dress was on and said he wanted to marry it. So we had a ceremony at the boutique and I was the mannequin's maid of honour as I was still in the wedding dress.
Explanation I watched two episodes of Friends with Monica trying on a wedding dress and one with Monica picking up a wedding dress for someone else. And Mitchell can't go out with me during the holidays because of his foot so maybe, unconsciously, this is revenge on him! Hahahaha, Mitchell falls in love with a naked mannequin.

Anyway, I want these Von Zipper shirts from City beach so badly!

kelsey says: ooh is it those masculine instincts.
- mitchum says: hahaa, yes, my macho radar


Sympathy towards Mitchell, as if his leg wasn't enough, because now he has to go join some Year 8 class for Quadratics revision and it's not fair because we all know of Athletics Carnival and him hurting his leg and missed out on heaps of class. Don't worry, Mitchell, we will all help you at school! xoxo

And Vanessa, love me for this.

Please don't ask where I've been. If you really need an explanation, then pick from either I've been dead or crying over Barry Hall leaving the Swans. Tasty.

Sleeping in is so heavenly. I slept till 10:48AM today and I think the rest of my holidays are going to follow suit. Except those days where I'm going to go out with friends or something.

Been reading and watching a lot. Watched Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and heaps and heaps of Friends. Friends cheer me up so much, and I officially now own Season 4, Season 5, Season 6, Season 8 and Season 9. In desperate need of Season 7 where Chandler and Monica plan their wedding and all :) I've also been watching MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA. I love saying the Australia bit. And I don't like Chris or Poh. Julia used to be cool but now she seems so snobby, or is it just me? So TEAM JUSTINE FTW! Yeah, and I've been playing Cooking Mama in JAPANESE. Cos that's the only version I have. I've been reading the katakana and identifying what each dish is! I've managed to work out Potato Salad (po-ta-to-sa-ra-da) and rice (go-han) :L

Vanessa, Margaret, Vivian, Nathan, Mitchell (if your leg allows): we must go oot! My sister went to a laser tag birthday party. Maybe we should go.

I've also spent a lot of time on my guitar. My dad promised he'll get me a new guitar. Still waiting, dad. No, dad, I will not wait until I finish piano. Yeah, seriously, I can't wait till I finish piano! Just a few more months, omg. It's been 7 years and I'm finally nearly done. Then after I finish my Grade 8, I can choose to continue and get my Performance Cert and stuff or just, stop. I'd really like to continue cos I might as well, yknow, but between that I'll have a humungous break. (And come back with all piano knowledge gone.)

I'm going to go do something productive now. Like Truong homework. Not Mr Peck's homework on REPRODUCTION. Mr Peck said ejaculation, Vanessa. Is that turning you on, yet? :P

---

How can you do this? After everything? If I was you, I wouldn't be able to do it. More importantly, if I was you, I'd know this was about me.

HOLIDAYS, BABY!


Half the year over and done with. I remember this point last year, where I thought, yeah, yeah, ages till I'm in Year 9. Well, Year 10 is very much just around the corner. Then it's the senior years of 11 and 12, then wow. 13 years of schooling done. Like Cindy Van, I am already worried about my HSC. Kinda wasting away my life isn't it :L

Why was everyone being nice today? Like, Alan was being nice and well-mannered (he's been pestering me about sexual bullcrap), Alvin was talking to me more and actually smiling more instead of that pissed off look, Miss Eun was really nice too, Mr Faulds finally had the calculators for me to get mine, Andy Le Tran invited me to go Noodle House with him and the rest of Year 9 apparently and even Emerson said "Hi Wendy" on the stairs which he never does. Maybe it was the excitement of the last day of term thing.

Me and Michelle rock at the Ode To Joy duet so nobody dare defy us!

I don't think it is satisfactory nor appropriate to label someone as useless just because they do not wish to communicate with you via MSN. Seriously, it's not like I have this deep vengeance against him, that I carry a knife around, or I stalk him on his other social networking websites and leave bad remarks or anything. I don't even know what his goals are to communicate with me via MSN and get so worked up about it. Everything's fine everywhere else, I just prefer not communicating with him via MSN due to some bad experiences before. But I guess if that's the case then I'll take it to heart, oh my god, I am so useless. The least he could've done was show me I'm wrong and that he wasn't so immature. Whatever. I got my Vanessa. Who fucking skipped school, don't you miss me? :P

I worry about aesthetics too much it's really getting to me. Told you it was OCD.

Not many people were at school today! Only Genevieve, Grace, Vivian, Michelle, Danica, Christie and myself. Half the group was gone to wherever, even Margaret was not at school, that was shock horror. Got a free cappuccino in the morning from the On Time Cafe.

There was some shooting near my house and I didn't even realise. Zomg. I thought it was fireworks. Seriously, when I think its gunshots, I look out, it's fireworks, when I think the opposite- GOD. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25744828-5006009,00.html THE PHOTOS IN THE GALLERY, I COULD JUST WALK 10 HOUSES UP AND THERE IT IS :O So many things happening on my street. My own next door neighbour hung himself just a few months ago. God. Crime scene. I think I'm next. So appreciate me, people.

Truongs tonight, four more weeks till Miss Dang leaves :( Class is going to be so different. Apparently we have exam on limits today? -screams- Nobody ever told me!

The plumbing in my house was stuffed up so couldn't shower yesterday, just got it fixed this morning. So I'll go shower now, ttyl :)

Nearly forgot, we played this in Creating Connections training. Not as a part of the program, just, played it cos Daniel introduced it to us. Cos he's Daniel, I guess :L

Oh my God, those cupcakes are awesome. I stole that picture off Christie's blog {http://fearhasnovoice.blogspot.com}. I couldn't be bothered hyperlinking it, would've taken twice as long for me to type this whole paragraph.

Creating Connections training was today and it was heaps of fun doing all the activities ourselves :L I can't wait till I get to become a leader and help Year 7s settle in, and we all know how cute little Year 7s are. I hope nobody plans on telling the teachers to remove me from the program because it seems like I'm some kind of pedophile. I think we're training the rest of Year 9s next term, week 2, not quite certain but yeah, that'll be heaps of fun as well, actually. We also know what groups we'll be training. Me and Cheryl Anne just need to type up all the names onto nice presentable lists.

Is it pronounced Lev-vee or Lee-vai?

I think I need to go Loose Threads in Stocklands and see if there are any nice Lee jeans there. I keep going to the shop in Cabramatta because I just love looking at the jeans and the man is this close from knowing what my typing speed is. That's how close we are. Kiddin'.

Labels: creating connections, everyday, school events

Train was delayed today by approximately twenty minutes or so. We were all hyped up, thinking we've missed out on half of first period, but no, our school and Cityrail are partners in crime and so the school knew and didn't ring the bell till 9:00AM. Boohoo.

FOUR DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL

Went Loose Threads today! I really want those Lee jeans but I was paranoid that they don't fit me properly so I didn't want to fork out $49 then realise they don't fit me, then what happens :O So I'll leave that till later till I have more time, I bought myself a MINKPINK t-shirt.

Signed up for the Aviation/Aerospace Career Expo Day! Yes, see, I wasn't joking around when I said I wanted to do the aviation management course at UNSW. Mhmm, yes, I'm looking at all my options. I want a job that will make me happy every single day I go to work :) And yes, aviation, rub it in, I've never been on a plane in my life.

I was doing some soliloquy in English today after reading some Shakespeare over the weekend. Let's quote my dialogue to show what Alvin and Vivian had to go through: "Oh, why must you puzzle me with your questions! I feel like I'm enclosed in this cocoon, of misery and grief and hatred and pain and I'm awaiting that day where I will turn into that butterfly and escape this prison, this enclosed hell!" Yeah, etcetera.

We started a new topic in science today, reproduction. Mr Peck was like, "Repeat after me, testes!" How exciting. Mr Peck was wearing a suit today for parent teacher interview and Vanessa thought he looked hot. I, on the other hand, just could not take him seriously in a suit while repeating sexual terms. Such as cleavage.

I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight loverly.

My room is in a horrible state and that is absolutely not helping my state of mind.

I'm so emo today. Black jeans, black shirt (with silver Converse logo but that doesn't matter) and black cardigan. Why? Because I want my red and white Swans scarf to stand out! Damn all you non-believers. Oh, whatever, I'm going to go into serious depression if Swans don't win today. One of the few good things going on in my life, the Swannies. Yo, yo, yo, foh sho.

Referring to my previous blog, well, as it turns out, maybe I do have OCD. Today at the checkout at Coles, I got worked up about my sister not placing the items 'neatly and properly' on the counter.. the checkout person might judge me because of my messiness and assume I'm a very messy person! And that's bad. Oh god, I have to go clean my room, I feel like it's going to collapse on me and I'm enclosed in this, tiny tiny space and that isn't helping my claustrophobia.

So, Serena Williams won the Women's Finals! I really wanted them to go into the third set, you know, it ended too quickly. Venus was so disappointed, I felt so sorry for her. Today, Roddick and Federer! Hm, to be honest, I don't mind who wins and I'm not necessarily cheering for one person. It'd be such a joy to see Roddick defeat Federer though, but then I'd feel extremely guilty and sorry for Federer because he's so nice and I remember seeing him cry when he won the Australian Open? I think it was. It escapes me. Everything's escaping me, I'm losing everything I have. Quite literally, to some extent.

I have Cadbury Fruit and Nut! Going to watch more Friends and cheer myself up.

I bent (is that a real word) down to pick up a pen I dropped in ag and boom, I basically smashed my face against the corner of the chair and now my cheekbone is still in pain. Luckily there was no obvious sign as a result of my clumsiness. But it does hurt. A lot.

Hurlstone Walkathon. Yeah, me and Vanessa are just so desperate to Save Hurlstone's Educational and Agricultural Property that we (mostly) ran the course (h). We discussed a lot of things on our adventure around the farm. Like what we are going to name our kids. I'm going to name mine Atticus or Phar Lap. No girl name picked out yet, though I do like a name that ends in "a" or "i/y". Cornelius is a nice name too. Yeah, William Xu slapped me in the face, that was awfully nice of him. Fuck, man.

I'm in a rather grouchy mood. Finished Seasons 4 and 5 of Friends today with popcorn. Oh, someone fix this heart of mine.

I am dying to get my hands on a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird! Yes, I have the school's copy right next to me but I want my own copy, to hold and cherish and carry me through thick and thin. I love my books and I have a bond with each and every one of them. They are like my babies, I care about them. No, no, not OCD. I said not OCD, you bitch.

English in Year 9 was fun. Until Mr Wenban ruined everything. I swear, that man teaches us nothing. Okay, sor-ry to those in my class who finds him fun but far out he didn't even go through how to write an essay, which was our assessment task, but he went through what a simile was three times during one week. Damnit, woman! I love the texts I've studied this year especially those from my english tutor even though personally I don't believe in english tutoring. We've went through Brave New World, 1984, Twelve Angry Men, War of the Worlds and now we're doing Macbeth. Like Vanessa said, she learnt so much from Mayers then she did during her entire life. I love texts having to do with law and trials → To Kill a Mockingbird and Philadelphia which Mr Wenban chose, the only best thing he's done this year. Which reminds me, I need to get back to playing Phoenix Wright. Colin, I still can't find Edgeworth!

I made more caramel crémes today. I eat them with whipped cream. Must not be good for me. But I need my comfort food.

Yeah, crap blog but I'm being pretty 'optimistic for a pessimist' right now.

Rofl Vivian, I need those "My Safety" sheets on protecting yourself after a break up :L How awesome, I can spoil myself and not feel bad about it, just because of those sheets. Yayerzzz.

PE was fun, wasn't it? Stupid sub, lied to us. She said if we ran a lap of the oval, she'll give us free time. Then when we all finished she said do a "cool down lap" then free time. Then she said run 1500m (equivalent of three laps) then she'll give us free time. So we ran, and we ran, and we ran, and some of us walked, and she says, "Nope, stay here, no one's allowed up to the basketball courts for free time." I got pretty satisfactory times, mainly because no one was trying and cbf, 1:52 for 400m and 8:45 for 1500m. Okay, now they seem crap.

Ryan threw his hat onto the ground and challenged me. So I picked it up, "I, Wendy Tran, accept your challenge" and I beat him! Reliving Merlin cos we're cool kids like that.

Sport. Netball. Won't even fucking blog about it.

Went to Loose Threads with Vivian and Michelle (I don't get why he's always hated shopping with me, hence the refusing to keep walking and running away, but gladly does it with other girls). Didn't buy anything, there weren't proper sizes. Christie blew her money at the bakery. Chocolate eclairs and sweet buns and all.

Sorry, crap blog, not in the mood. Till next time.

Final round of Premier's Debating Challenge against our own Year 10 team. Outcome was expected but at least we didn't get thrashed and got pretty positive feedback. We're improving, hopefully we go further next year. I expected the Year 10 team to be a lot less attacking when they spoke, especially against their own Year 9 team lol, but their manner was really provocative and kinda really pounding on us and saying we don't understand the topic. I know it's a debate and all but the speakers seem like they were attacking us personally as individuals and implying we were stupid, I think that's just taking it a bit too far. But that really lowered my self esteem rofl and I couldn't write any rebuttals properly for the rest of the debate. Hope the Year 10 do well. Hurlstone pride ;)

And HBD JACQUELINE :)

Didn't do my english speech today even though I desperately wanted to. Didn't think Mr Wenban would let me volunteer after he did the "picking names out of the hat" thing cos people didn't want to volunteer. My order is around 10th for tomorrow and I don't think there'll be enough time. I'm pissed off. I want to get it out of the way.

Maths test moved to Thursday for me and Alvin, oh thank you -_-'

I was sitting down waiting for Mr Peck to come up. He comes up, puts his hand out "Need a hand up?" Jealous, Vanessa?! :L Rofl, we had to draw male and female reproductive systems in science today and Mr Peck was like, "I know a lot of you boys like to draw these on rubbers and desks and in your spare time, and now we're doing it!" and Alan goes,

"Sir, Andy traces his one!"

Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship ft Leighton Meester is actually a very good song. Found it on iTunes store, Cobra Starship sounds really really radio/pop-ish in this song? Maybe it's just me. But yeah, I say 3.5/5 for this song! A good power pop song never hurt anyone.

First day of Term 3, ladies and gentlemen. How was it? Dull and usual. I think they should test people who want to become english teachers and see if they have an accepting personality, accepting enough to accept that in english: there is no definite answer. My Year 8 english teacher said so himself: as long as you can back it up and it's logical. Gawwwwd, I hate Year 9 english so much. English speeches tomorrow. Everybody ready? A-okay!

my guinea pig had twins :)

Also started geography which is for the next two terms and I found out that Mr Kearney has a best friend that lives in Canberra, that Mr Kearney misses and also cries over. The cries over bit hasn't been 100% confirmed because he kinda implied I didn't have any friends so I had to defend myself, but he was hesitant to answer, so everyone, interrogate Mr Kearney! Oh, and Halley (?) came for a visit and took revenge on our HSIE teacher as well.

I'm stressing like no tomorrow. Debate against Year 10s tomorrow, holy fishsticks indeed. We all know we're going to get -explosion-

Labels: everyday

Added 187 songs by The Kooks into my iTunes library last night. They are simply magical and their music is so calming, especially in this stressful time when I fear I might explode and all around me will also cease to exist: the end of time! Also known as, back to school. Which is also known as, cram time.

Laugh out loud at all the people who have not started english. We are on the same boat. Well, not really, I've just finished my mise-en-scene.

Nothing much to say, see you guys all tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit drab. All this homework, I never noticed it piling up because I cleaned up my room and moved the pile of books somewhere. I swear, it was accurate when they classified me as a visual learner with needs of visual aids and reminders.

Once again, my day has concluded and turned out to be extremely unproductive. Spent most of my awake hours filling out my application form for another job- I say another because technically I'm employed right now, to hell with that though- and wondering which topic I would like to advance my speech on. I am one indecisive bitch.

I've been awake for 12 hours and 10 minutes and I am about to go back into bed.

Holidays are meant to be fun! What's the point of teachers use them as an opportunity to distribute as much homework as they can to you, and when you sigh they reply "It's the holidays. You have two weeks. Stop complaining." That's exactly why we're complaining.

Come to think of it, I have not completed any set homework fully. And if you look back, you'll find one previous post nearly almost exactly the same as this one stressing about unfinished homework. I'm seriously dumbing down.

I was going to put Mr Kearney as a reference on my job application, and fill in the Position/Profession box with "Criminal Prosecutor" but a) Mr Kearney wouldn't give me his phone number, now, would he? and b) they'll think I murdered someone.

Commence stress: NOW.

Date 22nd July 2009
Where Parramatta
Who The boyz at the start, minus one because Israaq didn't wake up in time
What I acquired:



Hymns For The Nonbeliever by Kisschasy @ JB Hi-Fi $14.95



Louder Now by Taking Back Sunday @ JB Hi-Fi $9.99



Normal Is Just A Setting On The Dryer @ Dymocks $19.99 $4.99



Paul Frank T-shirt @ St Vincent's de Paul $2


I hate CityRail. (So what else is new?) This morning, I counted exactly $2.80 out of my coin bank for the train ticket. I go up to the machine, I'm inserting my coins, great, great, a few just slide down to the ticket compartment but no problem, I'll pick it up and put it back into the slot. For once, everything was great in my life. SUDDENLY. The coin slot shut and it said:

MAXIUMUM TEN COINS

What the bloody 'ell! Argh, I had 20c left and that would have completed my $2.80, I only had $10 and $20 notes on me so I had to put in my $10 note and get a massive bombardment of coins into my purse. Freaking.

Escaped Parramatta Westfields today! Explored the rest of Parramatta, my feet were screaming in pain by the end of it. I never knew there was a JB Hi-Fi on George St. Went to the Salvation Army's Jum Shop, managed to buy a nice dog-bag-carrier-thing for only $2 as well. There were these white flats, technically not because they had a bit of heel, with a nice design and all for only $10 but it had a yellow stain :'(

Spent most of the day in Dymocks and JB Hi-Fi. I love having friends of both female and male friends. My girlies can come clothes shopping with me and not get tired of it while the boyz can venture into bookstores and JB and not ask to go anywhere else. Yup. Besides, the last time I took Israaq, Thai and Nathan into Sportsgirl, they could only bear about 1.5 minutes before they went running out. (Apparently, everything was weird and not in enough for them.)

HOW I LOVE GUY T-SHIRTS. The guy t-shirts @ Myer in the Dangerfield and Pulp Kitchen department are to die for. I can't afford much in Myer without going broke anyway.

Today was the best but I can not be bothered to blog: homework overload.

Labels: holidays

I'm listening to The Best Of You And Me by Number One Gun and it's such a beautiful song. Really. I forget about most of my old songs as new ones enter my library.

First off, I hope you all enjoyed my previous post on my weird and wacky dreams. There'll be one again soon. I've had many since Saturday. Wink, wink.



Julie won MasterChef! Hurrah! I really thought Poh would have killed Julie in the dessert challenge because Poh's a dessert expert. Damn you all who are still telling me off about Asian pride. Julie dominated, all you I'm-azn-so-I-love-Poh people, she beat Poh in all three challenges. And 9/10 from all the judges for the chocolate dish. Legend. No one dare defy me! I mean, Julie. And apparently Poh was a muse for some big painter and there's all these naked paintings of her. A big laugh out loud to all you supporters now!

I take that back, I just googled it and yes, it's true but the paintings aren't even that controversial. Go look at it. Even you, Alvin Chung, who screams at the mention of the word homosexual.

I've been strangely addicted to my iPod apps. (Boys who are reading this, stop reading now, you wouldn't have the slightest chance of empathising with me.) I bought Sally's Spa and Supermarket Mania yesterday, and they're such a good time waster, they've wasted my whole day of which I could have spent on my stupid english speech! Not really, last night I couldn't sleep till 6AM and ended waking up at 1PM. My body clock is seriously messed up. .. I hate my life. Well, they're good games and good value for $1.19 each. Graphics are good, and there's many levels. And that's my review for those apps! Yes! I FAIL.

Now, what the fuck is tillage?

Labels: holidays

Sleeping for at least 9 hours every night for the past week has resulted in many vivid dreams involving a lot of random people. Here's some:

I: I Was Destined For Law
I received a letter in the mail that I was chosen to be on a jury. My mum and dad thought it would distract me, as it was my exam period, and so they decided to hide it. When I found out, I got realllllly mad and ran away from home.
Explanation This dream most likely occurred because I was thinking about my future job before I fell asleep. I think about the weirdest things before I sleep. And my english teacher said something about being picked to be on a jury randomly and you'll probably get chosen one day.

II: Cá Kho With Vivian
I was at a Vietnamese restaurant with Vivian and we were eating cá kho. And Vivian took the first bite with chopsticks and I could smell it, and I don't like cá kho so I just sat there and watched her eat.
Explanation I think it was because I had steamed fish for dinner.

III: Emerson Tried To Kill Me
Sunny was driving the car, Vanessa in the other front seat and I was in the back. We were driving home from school when we saw a hitchhiker that looked like Emerson and it was Emerson so we stopped for him. Emerson had bright red hair. Then Emerson said he has a crush on one of my Year 1 teachers so we agreed to drive to Smithfield to reunite him with Miss Barnier. On the way, we passed a house that had a picture of her and her husband on her window, and it was huge and I saw it. I said, "Emerson, I think she's married!" and Emerson got really mad at me so he said, "Wendy, listen to this Big Bang song" so I took one of his earphones and then my ear exploded. Emerson got his revenge on me. And Vanessa and Sunny had no idea all of this was going on.
Explanation I have no fucking idea. I was on Emerson's blog and listening to Big Bang? :L OH, and Sunny told me to download the uHear app to test my ears.

IV: I Was Luigi
I was playing Mario Kart. I was actually in the game, and so was Margaret, Jacqueline, Cheryl-Anne, Nathan, Colin and Wilson. I was winning but then Cheryl Anne threw the shell at me so I dropped down to 5th rank. Margaret grabbed my hand and we used our items together and we came equal 1st! Then at the end, the part where you parade around because you come first/second/third, me and Margaret got knocked over my Cheryl-Anne so she got disqualified.
Explanation I was playing Mario Kart before I went to bed. That's why now I play Cooking Mama instead :L

V: Mitchell Marries Mannequin
It was nearly my wedding and I walked past a Wedding Dress Boutique with Mitchell and I saw the dress, the perfect one I wanted to get married in on the display window on a mannequin. It was strapless, the bodice part was sequined with diamonds and the bottom was just flowing and silky. So I went in and I told the lady and she took it off for me, and I tried it on. Then I got out of the dressing room to show Mitchell but he was hugging the mannequin that my dress was on and said he wanted to marry it. So we had a ceremony at the boutique and I was the mannequin's maid of honour as I was still in the wedding dress.
Explanation I watched two episodes of Friends with Monica trying on a wedding dress and one with Monica picking up a wedding dress for someone else. And Mitchell can't go out with me during the holidays because of his foot so maybe, unconsciously, this is revenge on him! Hahahaha, Mitchell falls in love with a naked mannequin.

Anyway, I want these Von Zipper shirts from City beach so badly!

Sympathy towards Mitchell, as if his leg wasn't enough, because now he has to go join some Year 8 class for Quadratics revision and it's not fair because we all know of Athletics Carnival and him hurting his leg and missed out on heaps of class. Don't worry, Mitchell, we will all help you at school! xoxo

And Vanessa, love me for this.

Please don't ask where I've been. If you really need an explanation, then pick from either I've been dead or crying over Barry Hall leaving the Swans. Tasty.

Sleeping in is so heavenly. I slept till 10:48AM today and I think the rest of my holidays are going to follow suit. Except those days where I'm going to go out with friends or something.

Been reading and watching a lot. Watched Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and heaps and heaps of Friends. Friends cheer me up so much, and I officially now own Season 4, Season 5, Season 6, Season 8 and Season 9. In desperate need of Season 7 where Chandler and Monica plan their wedding and all :) I've also been watching MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA. I love saying the Australia bit. And I don't like Chris or Poh. Julia used to be cool but now she seems so snobby, or is it just me? So TEAM JUSTINE FTW! Yeah, and I've been playing Cooking Mama in JAPANESE. Cos that's the only version I have. I've been reading the katakana and identifying what each dish is! I've managed to work out Potato Salad (po-ta-to-sa-ra-da) and rice (go-han) :L

Vanessa, Margaret, Vivian, Nathan, Mitchell (if your leg allows): we must go oot! My sister went to a laser tag birthday party. Maybe we should go.

I've also spent a lot of time on my guitar. My dad promised he'll get me a new guitar. Still waiting, dad. No, dad, I will not wait until I finish piano. Yeah, seriously, I can't wait till I finish piano! Just a few more months, omg. It's been 7 years and I'm finally nearly done. Then after I finish my Grade 8, I can choose to continue and get my Performance Cert and stuff or just, stop. I'd really like to continue cos I might as well, yknow, but between that I'll have a humungous break. (And come back with all piano knowledge gone.)

I'm going to go do something productive now. Like Truong homework. Not Mr Peck's homework on REPRODUCTION. Mr Peck said ejaculation, Vanessa. Is that turning you on, yet? :P

---

How can you do this? After everything? If I was you, I wouldn't be able to do it. More importantly, if I was you, I'd know this was about me.

HOLIDAYS, BABY!


Half the year over and done with. I remember this point last year, where I thought, yeah, yeah, ages till I'm in Year 9. Well, Year 10 is very much just around the corner. Then it's the senior years of 11 and 12, then wow. 13 years of schooling done. Like Cindy Van, I am already worried about my HSC. Kinda wasting away my life isn't it :L

Why was everyone being nice today? Like, Alan was being nice and well-mannered (he's been pestering me about sexual bullcrap), Alvin was talking to me more and actually smiling more instead of that pissed off look, Miss Eun was really nice too, Mr Faulds finally had the calculators for me to get mine, Andy Le Tran invited me to go Noodle House with him and the rest of Year 9 apparently and even Emerson said "Hi Wendy" on the stairs which he never does. Maybe it was the excitement of the last day of term thing.

Me and Michelle rock at the Ode To Joy duet so nobody dare defy us!

I don't think it is satisfactory nor appropriate to label someone as useless just because they do not wish to communicate with you via MSN. Seriously, it's not like I have this deep vengeance against him, that I carry a knife around, or I stalk him on his other social networking websites and leave bad remarks or anything. I don't even know what his goals are to communicate with me via MSN and get so worked up about it. Everything's fine everywhere else, I just prefer not communicating with him via MSN due to some bad experiences before. But I guess if that's the case then I'll take it to heart, oh my god, I am so useless. The least he could've done was show me I'm wrong and that he wasn't so immature. Whatever. I got my Vanessa. Who fucking skipped school, don't you miss me? :P

I worry about aesthetics too much it's really getting to me. Told you it was OCD.

Not many people were at school today! Only Genevieve, Grace, Vivian, Michelle, Danica, Christie and myself. Half the group was gone to wherever, even Margaret was not at school, that was shock horror. Got a free cappuccino in the morning from the On Time Cafe.

There was some shooting near my house and I didn't even realise. Zomg. I thought it was fireworks. Seriously, when I think its gunshots, I look out, it's fireworks, when I think the opposite- GOD. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25744828-5006009,00.html THE PHOTOS IN THE GALLERY, I COULD JUST WALK 10 HOUSES UP AND THERE IT IS :O So many things happening on my street. My own next door neighbour hung himself just a few months ago. God. Crime scene. I think I'm next. So appreciate me, people.

Truongs tonight, four more weeks till Miss Dang leaves :( Class is going to be so different. Apparently we have exam on limits today? -screams- Nobody ever told me!

The plumbing in my house was stuffed up so couldn't shower yesterday, just got it fixed this morning. So I'll go shower now, ttyl :)

Nearly forgot, we played this in Creating Connections training. Not as a part of the program, just, played it cos Daniel introduced it to us. Cos he's Daniel, I guess :L

Oh my God, those cupcakes are awesome. I stole that picture off Christie's blog {http://fearhasnovoice.blogspot.com}. I couldn't be bothered hyperlinking it, would've taken twice as long for me to type this whole paragraph.

Creating Connections training was today and it was heaps of fun doing all the activities ourselves :L I can't wait till I get to become a leader and help Year 7s settle in, and we all know how cute little Year 7s are. I hope nobody plans on telling the teachers to remove me from the program because it seems like I'm some kind of pedophile. I think we're training the rest of Year 9s next term, week 2, not quite certain but yeah, that'll be heaps of fun as well, actually. We also know what groups we'll be training. Me and Cheryl Anne just need to type up all the names onto nice presentable lists.

Is it pronounced Lev-vee or Lee-vai?

I think I need to go Loose Threads in Stocklands and see if there are any nice Lee jeans there. I keep going to the shop in Cabramatta because I just love looking at the jeans and the man is this close from knowing what my typing speed is. That's how close we are. Kiddin'.

Labels: creating connections, everyday, school events

Train was delayed today by approximately twenty minutes or so. We were all hyped up, thinking we've missed out on half of first period, but no, our school and Cityrail are partners in crime and so the school knew and didn't ring the bell till 9:00AM. Boohoo.

FOUR DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL

Went Loose Threads today! I really want those Lee jeans but I was paranoid that they don't fit me properly so I didn't want to fork out $49 then realise they don't fit me, then what happens :O So I'll leave that till later till I have more time, I bought myself a MINKPINK t-shirt.

Signed up for the Aviation/Aerospace Career Expo Day! Yes, see, I wasn't joking around when I said I wanted to do the aviation management course at UNSW. Mhmm, yes, I'm looking at all my options. I want a job that will make me happy every single day I go to work :) And yes, aviation, rub it in, I've never been on a plane in my life.

I was doing some soliloquy in English today after reading some Shakespeare over the weekend. Let's quote my dialogue to show what Alvin and Vivian had to go through: "Oh, why must you puzzle me with your questions! I feel like I'm enclosed in this cocoon, of misery and grief and hatred and pain and I'm awaiting that day where I will turn into that butterfly and escape this prison, this enclosed hell!" Yeah, etcetera.

We started a new topic in science today, reproduction. Mr Peck was like, "Repeat after me, testes!" How exciting. Mr Peck was wearing a suit today for parent teacher interview and Vanessa thought he looked hot. I, on the other hand, just could not take him seriously in a suit while repeating sexual terms. Such as cleavage.

I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight loverly.

My room is in a horrible state and that is absolutely not helping my state of mind.

I'm so emo today. Black jeans, black shirt (with silver Converse logo but that doesn't matter) and black cardigan. Why? Because I want my red and white Swans scarf to stand out! Damn all you non-believers. Oh, whatever, I'm going to go into serious depression if Swans don't win today. One of the few good things going on in my life, the Swannies. Yo, yo, yo, foh sho.

Referring to my previous blog, well, as it turns out, maybe I do have OCD. Today at the checkout at Coles, I got worked up about my sister not placing the items 'neatly and properly' on the counter.. the checkout person might judge me because of my messiness and assume I'm a very messy person! And that's bad. Oh god, I have to go clean my room, I feel like it's going to collapse on me and I'm enclosed in this, tiny tiny space and that isn't helping my claustrophobia.

So, Serena Williams won the Women's Finals! I really wanted them to go into the third set, you know, it ended too quickly. Venus was so disappointed, I felt so sorry for her. Today, Roddick and Federer! Hm, to be honest, I don't mind who wins and I'm not necessarily cheering for one person. It'd be such a joy to see Roddick defeat Federer though, but then I'd feel extremely guilty and sorry for Federer because he's so nice and I remember seeing him cry when he won the Australian Open? I think it was. It escapes me. Everything's escaping me, I'm losing everything I have. Quite literally, to some extent.

I have Cadbury Fruit and Nut! Going to watch more Friends and cheer myself up.

I bent (is that a real word) down to pick up a pen I dropped in ag and boom, I basically smashed my face against the corner of the chair and now my cheekbone is still in pain. Luckily there was no obvious sign as a result of my clumsiness. But it does hurt. A lot.

Hurlstone Walkathon. Yeah, me and Vanessa are just so desperate to Save Hurlstone's Educational and Agricultural Property that we (mostly) ran the course (h). We discussed a lot of things on our adventure around the farm. Like what we are going to name our kids. I'm going to name mine Atticus or Phar Lap. No girl name picked out yet, though I do like a name that ends in "a" or "i/y". Cornelius is a nice name too. Yeah, William Xu slapped me in the face, that was awfully nice of him. Fuck, man.

I'm in a rather grouchy mood. Finished Seasons 4 and 5 of Friends today with popcorn. Oh, someone fix this heart of mine.

I am dying to get my hands on a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird! Yes, I have the school's copy right next to me but I want my own copy, to hold and cherish and carry me through thick and thin. I love my books and I have a bond with each and every one of them. They are like my babies, I care about them. No, no, not OCD. I said not OCD, you bitch.

English in Year 9 was fun. Until Mr Wenban ruined everything. I swear, that man teaches us nothing. Okay, sor-ry to those in my class who finds him fun but far out he didn't even go through how to write an essay, which was our assessment task, but he went through what a simile was three times during one week. Damnit, woman! I love the texts I've studied this year especially those from my english tutor even though personally I don't believe in english tutoring. We've went through Brave New World, 1984, Twelve Angry Men, War of the Worlds and now we're doing Macbeth. Like Vanessa said, she learnt so much from Mayers then she did during her entire life. I love texts having to do with law and trials → To Kill a Mockingbird and Philadelphia which Mr Wenban chose, the only best thing he's done this year. Which reminds me, I need to get back to playing Phoenix Wright. Colin, I still can't find Edgeworth!

I made more caramel crémes today. I eat them with whipped cream. Must not be good for me. But I need my comfort food.

Yeah, crap blog but I'm being pretty 'optimistic for a pessimist' right now.

Rofl Vivian, I need those "My Safety" sheets on protecting yourself after a break up :L How awesome, I can spoil myself and not feel bad about it, just because of those sheets. Yayerzzz.

PE was fun, wasn't it? Stupid sub, lied to us. She said if we ran a lap of the oval, she'll give us free time. Then when we all finished she said do a "cool down lap" then free time. Then she said run 1500m (equivalent of three laps) then she'll give us free time. So we ran, and we ran, and we ran, and some of us walked, and she says, "Nope, stay here, no one's allowed up to the basketball courts for free time." I got pretty satisfactory times, mainly because no one was trying and cbf, 1:52 for 400m and 8:45 for 1500m. Okay, now they seem crap.

Ryan threw his hat onto the ground and challenged me. So I picked it up, "I, Wendy Tran, accept your challenge" and I beat him! Reliving Merlin cos we're cool kids like that.

Sport. Netball. Won't even fucking blog about it.

Went to Loose Threads with Vivian and Michelle (I don't get why he's always hated shopping with me, hence the refusing to keep walking and running away, but gladly does it with other girls). Didn't buy anything, there weren't proper sizes. Christie blew her money at the bakery. Chocolate eclairs and sweet buns and all.

Sorry, crap blog, not in the mood. Till next time.
