i know i say im trying to be a better person, but my personality is struggling to change in some situations. im still stubborn and sometimes conceited to the point that my mind is made up before anything is barely even said. which obviously leads to major guilt and regret later on.

i was in a phone call last night, something that has become somewhat routine. it was an enjoyable conversation, and everything was fine, but sometimes, some stereotyping on my part collides with statements said by the other party, and my head goes crazy. and to avoid any quarrels i just dont talk and encourage the other person to go to sleep. which doesnt work. if i was in the other person's shoes, id refuse to hang up too. so after a quarter or so of an hour, i explained my view.

"dont you trust me?" he says, and i snap with a straight forward "no".

okay, let me say something that's gonna make me seem like a goody goody nerd, and may or may not gain me some (more) haters. i think drinking at this age is too unnecessary. i say "too" because drinking is never necessary. im being asked for trust from someone who was peer pressured into it about a year or two ago. and trust me, im trying to find it and hand it over, because i know they're better than that. i was so caught up in the belief that he has turned out to be someone that i thought he would never be. i really did give him a hard time for the most part of the rest of the phone call.

it wasnt until he revealed to me that he had no plans of even going to the afterparty, but instead was going to ask for my presence on the night, and wanted to spend the rest of the night with me wondering around the city, and that he's been saving up for it. of course, at first, i speculated, but then i realised it made sense. the continuous mentions of 'saving up' and 'finding a job' finally fell into place. and when i apologised, he wasnt even mad. just happy that i wasnt mad anymore. and when i labelled myself as selfish, he tried to convinced me that i wasnt by recounting the things ive done. and when i say i dont deserve to know someone like him, he says he only wants me.

bottom line, i really hate myself right now. thank you for accepting my apology, for allowing me to see the faults within me, and for giving me the push to fix them all up to be a better person for you. i promise.

so today we celebrated lisa's birthday as she's not gonna be here tomorrow, and her birthdays gonna be during the holidays! had a tub of cookies and cream, a chocolate bavarian, sakatas, sherbet, cheese and onion chips, four bottles of soft drinks with a million cans, red skins, yknow, great food, thanks to everyone who brought food, i felt bad so i just paid sophia, chipped in for the cake! the birthday present of the giant easter egg was an interesting one, good work liza/sophia :p

some international number is calling me.. international code 68? i keep saying wrong number, but they keep calling.. actually, the lady blabs in some random language. i wonder if someone that owes her money gave her a fake number.. and turns out to be my number. or maybe she lost a daughter and thinks im her long lost daughter or something! or maybe maybe maybe .. i have no life.

me and michelle have decided to lose 20kg during the holidays so we'll look good for formal. we'll come back as 30kg human beings no joke. actually, i am joking.

my formspring is dead, i remember when i used to come home to 21 messages in my inbox. those were the days! april fools' day tomorrow! i seriously hope i dont get pranked.. not that our group has a tradition of celebrating the day anyway? hell, half of my group won't even be here tmr :L

mr purves let us watch woodstock to pick up on some of the songs that were anti involvement in vietnam war. "feel like im fixing to die" by country joe and the fish or something like that, started off with tthe vocalist screaming "give me a f! give me a u! give me a c! give me a k! what does it spell?" mr purves desperaetly tried to mute it, but everytime he unmuted it, the crowd was responding, yelling FUCK. LOL.

i feel like the rain suppresses everything. it really does cover up happiness, in my opinion. some people find the rain calming and serene, i don't know, not me! it makes the day dark, gloomy, it makes classes ten times more drab for me. and plus, everything's.. wet. duh, wendy. well you know what i mean!

a rather usual day, school-wise. now that we are approaching end of term, with only 2 days to go, the only things that me and michi and vivi get up to is singing and nonsense talking. and it feels like we are being stuffed like a teddy at build-a-bear with assignments. especially the english one where we have to record our voice and make a short story using pictures and music? gaaaah, so pointless. and history test tomorrow, oh shit. seeeeee, kids, thats why you should use your diary! ive given up on my diary for now.. last few days of term 1, cut me some slack! winter uniform yay, and i dont care what you say, i reckon the blazer's gonna look pretty decent! (thanks alan for not disowning me when i told him i already bought one LOL. he said, "no way" yaaay, best brother ever :D)

winter is approaching.. and i need ankle boots now. now!

a bit of a talk going on about easter show. i dont know, but events like that dont really appeal to me.. im not really an amusement park/theme park/rides kinda person! i just dont find it fun, i seriously get stressed and freaked out and stay stressed and freaked out! (water parks are a different story, i do enjoy jamberoo :D) at camp when we do stuff like giant swing, thats just a test of courage really.. and i do it, cos i want to push myself to the limit. but paying at theme parks to experience this.. no thaaanks! thats why moon fest and the new years festival thingy, doesnt appeal to me either.

after school, was persuaded to go cabramatta again by someone, and being the nice person i am, i find my way there even in this rain! the things i do for you, catboy! michelle, i saw kevin! hahahah, why didnt you wait for him, michi! he didnt smile at me, so i didnt see his dimples, awww. he looks the perfect height for you, michi ;) spent the afternoon at the park again, with eric's broken umbrella. which stabbed me. and i used to stab him a couple of times. note to self: best weapon against eric is strawberry freddo chocolate. (it was a lovely afternoon, eric, i had fun, even under your broken umbrella :3)

was youtubing nothin' on you covers actually, when i came across this. and so i downloaded the original, which isn't great in terms of quality, but its good for jumping around to when im getting changed.. uh yes, LOL. and of course, i downloaded that cover! oh and i rememebered to check out run devil run by snsd for michi, and yes, i do like it now, but it still doesn't beat gee and oh! ;D

hope grace has fun in korea/japan!

brought my guitar to school today, picked the wrong day to because it began to pitter patter a bit and linda forgot her capo! ah well, cant blame her, ipt exam must've been rather hair tearing! hope you guys went well! me and alvin were jammin' at lunch, well not really, alvin was just like "i cant rap, youre too confusing when you sing". blah blah blah. so fine. no more guitar. me and michi continued to write our song for vivian. we sung it to the tune of justin bieber's baby today, yaaaa. i feel really dead right now because i have a horrible headache, out of nowhere! and it really does feel like an elastic band around your head, continuously being pulled and released :(

and my e string snapped @:
edit 10:38PM michelle said i should change it so it says "my g string snapped". just because she wears one, yknow, she wants to drag me down with her? sorry michi, im not as kinky as you! :9

finally got our maths simultaneous test back! me and margaret and vivian were comparing, and we were all like, "oh my god, i failed!" and we checked each other's and we all get the same mark ie 94%! see what being asian does to you, it makes 100% the average for math! and and and i got two stickers for using a particular pronumeral, look! screw using x's and y's :D (please excuse the extremely extremely extremely messy writing, my writing is always messy in math.)






in geography, alvin informed me that i made it to debating! seriously, i couldnt believe it! im not being modest, im being honest, i seriously cannot believe that margaret didnt get onto the team. she freaking smashed us all at the tryouts! soooo, this team is somewhat of a flashback, eh, monica, kabir and alvin! cant wait till i can say, "and my second speaker will be talking about.." ;D

my two ulcers go away, and a new one pops up, right at the top of my gum, between the wall of my mouth and my gum :'(

after school, there was scram practice but being the rebel bitch i am, i just went home. im not even on the team, im reserve for round 1 and i was lugging around my guitar! anyway, made a stop at cabramatta because a) i'm asian and b) to hang out, yo! what a nice boy catboy is, carried my guitar for me. well not really nice, tried to make me reveal my weakness, whilst using my other weaknesses. hmph. (its so rare to see him laugh like that though :3) well karma got him, when he was waiting at the station with me for the train home, his brother got off on the other platform, hahahahahahahahahhah who's embarrassed now! rofl im not that evil..catboy hasnt texted. i hope he's still alive.

so instead of completing (or rather, making a substantial start) on my short story for the henry lawson competition, which is compulsory, i dont know why, i am writing this blog. because my creative juices are dry, not that i had any to begin with. i do love english, i love essays, i love descriptive paragraphs, but short stories will be the death of me. i am not a creative person! the only idea that i have at the moment is to write about me not being able to write a short story. gonna be a loooooong night. someone teleport and give me a hug! :( thanks nathan for the cyber hug.

im listening to justin bieber. thats how bad this is getting. grr i detest short stories. there's a stupid fly waltzing around in my room.

so what happened today. went to church. i drank miso soup. had two guylian chocolates. had mushrooms and brocolli with rice for dinner. drank a lot of passionfruit crush. slept. slept, slept. slept. watched the big bang theory. wow i really need to do something with my life. or maybe i just need to write this damn short story.

alright, no more procrastinating, time to write this short story. lets hope i make it out alive. ok go!

photo off eugenes blog. havent watched mean girls in a while. then again, ive watched it a couple of gazillion times, thanks channel 10. they havent shown it this year, eh? wow. i was lying in bed last night, and i was thinking about who would bother reading my last post, it made me sad. then i thought about going out with christie and margaret tomorrow (which was today) :D

i woke up with a huge blister on my hand.

girls day outtt! i like calling them 'my girlies', as bimbo as that sounds. a lot of browsing, holding hands, skipping around, invading change rooms, pissing off staff as we didnt buy. its so awkward when they ask if you need help in the change rooms. i know its their job but i just feel so bad when i walk out and i have to give it back to them, using the excuse "sorry, it doesnt look good on me". (and then instead of offering pity, they offer me another size.) ended up with three shopping bags at the end of the day: forever new, valleygirl and glassons. first purchases in ages. like ive said before, i tend to dislike valleygirl, the quality and design. but it was love at first sight with this jacket! i seriously need ankle boots. i cannot find the perfect pair, and my havaianas are dead, and my kitty sandler flats are dead (cant blame them, i first wore them in 2006. thats nearly 4 years rofl)

cheer cheer the red and the white tonight! saw four men, all wearing sydney swan t-shirts and "2010 season member" cards around their necks. made me smile! keeping the afl spirit alive! i miss michael o'loughlin, leo barry, barry hall too :'(

the train back home was a millenium. i got onto a carriage with no seats, so decided to change. i walked upstairs. there were no seats, except one, the single one in the corner, all cramped and squashed. decided to sit down. the carriage was noisy, that was one thing for sure, and a lot of stares and glances were directed to four three-seaters in particular. these were all men, screaming, yelling, mimicking each other. they were accompanied by four women in uniform, who looked fine with the whole situation. after a few minutes, i took a longer look to get a grasp of what was going on. after a while it became apparent to me that these people were all of a mental medical condition, or something of the like. there was a man all dressed in black, a man wearing a cap with a white t-shirt, a man with a striped blue shirt, another with jeans and a green t-shirt. it was their day out today, and all of them looked ecstatic, reflecting what a great day they must've had. the man in blue interested me most. he had this constant smile on his face, he was much quieter, waving to people around him, people outside the window, people that got on the train.

they got off at fairfield, making quite a racket. the man in blue waved at me, as i was sitting next to the stairs, and i smiled and waved back, not sure if i was the first to have done that today. i looked out the window, wondering what he would do next after he alighted the train. sure enough, he stood, facing the train, with the huge grin on his face, and waved. his eyes werent directed at me, so i didnt wave. when the nurse got off, she grabbed his hand and walked away, exiting the station.

i seriously thought about this, as he headed out the station. the gentle nature that he possessed, the kindness that was evident. sure, he was heading out the station, but where was he heading? his future, his life. i mean, what future, what life? he will always be enclosed in this condition, this sickness. whatever mental condition he has, it has deprived him of the life he could've led. there was a lot going on in my mind in regards to this. i thought more and more and more and more and more about it.

and honestly, i nearly cried.

too many take advantage of their luck, some not even noticing it. too many see it as normal, to have what they have. thank you, man in blue, for helping me realise how fortunate i am, for emphasising how grateful i should be. its cheesy, i know, but seriously, you dont know til you experience it.

this morning when i was taking a shower, i subconsciously used my left hand to put shampoo onto my right hand. and then it felt all awkward, because i'm right handed..yeah, i'm such an interesting person.

i feel like everything's falling apart. no im not melodramatic, i'm serious. the little strap thing that holds your watch strap from sticking out (yes, please just nod and say yes you understand) has broken off, it is not only connected to one side. and my havaianas strap broke in the middle of truong! i nudged angela to look, and she began choking on her smart nutrient water whatever. never get bored of angela stories, eh? i told her not to accidentally dye her face by accident tonight. then rayray called me slack. thats pretty sweet though, that he stuck up for her, but jees raymond, such a dickhead to me LOL! should be going shopping tomorrow with my girlies, i dont have a sufficient amount of $$$ to satisfy my wants. wow, sounds like i'm talking about my sexual drive. i'm not.

swans v st kilda: 2010 starts tmr for the bloods!

english results back! got a lot of slaps and i hate yous from my group. people, please redirect your hatred towards genevieve in. so, as i have already said in my previous post, the top mark in the grade was 16/20 and only 8 people got that. 4 of them, are in 10e, so thanks guys for making heaps of people in the class feel bad rofl. 10m beats our average by 0.1, which just means war! seriously, mr purves already compares our two classes like crazy, he said he's gonna look at our half yearly results and then conclude who's the better class. grrrrr :P oh and i got 15/20, btw which was 7 for the extended, 3 for the first short response and 5 for the next short response. short my ass, one whole freaking page! got better than i expected, so sadly, i cant morph into a rabbit like i pledged in my last blog. but i was so looking forward to being white and fluffffffy. like miffy. miff miff. is that the noise rabbits make? well, in my head it is!

and holy shit, i got like, the mark that came third in truong for linear functions. seriously, what the heck is going on?!

michelle and i wrote a song for vivian and we are performing it on monday, im bringing my guitar and everything. gonna be one to remember, definitely better than the love song dedication from santosh aka kid with long ass eyelashes aka vivian's lover boy. me and michelle are pretty hardcore rappers, man. yo yo yo yo yo yo. ponyo. rofl that just reminded me, finished watching ponyo in japanese today, the ending is a bit what-the-fuck-is-going-on, all this magic happens and the storyline goes on crack, but the cuteness incoporated in the beginning of the film makes up for absolutely everything. everything.

people who have had the absolute horror of having to endure me day to day (that is you, vivian michi and alvin), would know that i have been singing knock you down by keri hilson ft kanye and ne*yo non stop! alvin has also took up the position as my personal rapper, so whenever we're walking from class to class, we're singing it! my guitar is screaming for me to stop playing the same chords over and over. yes, i do sing a lot at home, im not proud of my voice, but i do enjoy singing to myself, in the shower, before i sleep, whilst im doing homework. (wow im such a freak.) aaaaand so ive been youtubing covers and stuff a lot (obviously). ive found my favourite two: kindasmooth and an le, cp and joseph vincent. the first video, they wear the worst clothes ever, but the harmonisation is serious ear sex, and they medley it with whatcha say, the transition from kyd to that song makes me cry. (they teach the chords at the end, but i need a capo. grr.) the second one, even though the girl goes a bit off key, the guy in the middle, cp, totally cracks me up, his voice is also very unbelievably good. and the joseph vincent guy.. *faints*. the way he sings the beginning captured me, i sing it like that now rofl. actually, the whole vibe of it is just really fun, i really enjoy watching that vid. sorry eric, but cathy's video was a bit too boring, and she sends off this stuck up vibe to me now :P

stupid bra strap, too tight. it's hurting my shoulders. margaret tried to fix it on wednesday, mr kearney probably thought we were up to something lesbianny LOL. and if you actually read my whole blog today, wow, i really do like you a lot lot lot lot lot.

uncapped means online shopping browsing, youtube and new music! and formspring person: i uploaded the photos in the post below :)

english was first period today, and we were notified that we would receive our english assessment results tomorrow. apparently, highest mark in the grade is 16/20, and four people in 10e got that, said miss skola. 10m came first, we're all like in shock and disbelief cos we got cindy van, yknow? rofl! as long as i get above 50% for this assessment task, i'll be somewhat okay. i know, my expectations have dropped like crazy.

speaking of assessment tasks, got pe marks back! my group is oh so bitterly disappointed :( 20/30, a pretty average mark which will most likely result with a b on my report, but we put so so so much effort into it! sigh, there was only individual marks, and me and vivian's marks were different by one, me and mitch got the same, michi was too sad to go and check rofl. i think our group came last in the class or somethinggggg, dayum. wilson said it would be marked on efforts and everything, not just dance skill.. so where's the other 10?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! huh!?!??!?!?!?! we werent lazy kids :( -composure- well i guess thats how the cookie crumbles. like eric said, time to own the theory side of this subject.

i promised vivian and michi id write a song about them. i keep laughing, the only word that rhymes with vivian is amphibian.

happy birthday troy! so many people turning 16 D:

wednesdays means three periods, and if two of those periods are pe practical, then score! no more dancing in pe, it's aussie sports now, and we started off with afl! yay, mr wilson kept making sydney swans references, made me smile. im desperate for some afl action. this saturday, swans v saints, cant wait :D

my legs were aching crazily afterwards, due to the non stretching. who knew warm up was that important. i was kinda a bitch in maths to mr dillon, he kept looking at me for answers and i just looked at him blankly, which i know pisses him off tremendously. but i was too tired, and my chest was still hurting! no not my boobs, like, internally. internally.

at lunch, mr kearney asked angela, margaret, michi and myself to help him carry boxes of chocolates up the stairs for him. we said, we'll do it for some chocolate, and he said "okay later." mr kearney decides it'd be fast to do it all in one go, so he asks us to pile three on him, while some of us are struggling with just one (and we're not that weaker than him), and im holding two and my back is like, having a seizure or whatever, and so i finally reach the top, and mr kearney says "i'll put them down first" and they all topple and we just can't stop laughing. margaret reckons he was trying to impress mrs hewett. well, obviously that failed, the chocolates were all over the floor rofl.

he still owes us chocolate.

ultimate frisbee was fun today, we had dan from the australian ultimate frisbee team come coach us! far out, his throws and catches are so professional, michelle nearly committed suicide :P it was fun, he said our team's the first team he's coached that's been so quick to catch on, and how he's never seen three points scored with no turnovers at all. yahuh, hurlstone (h)

is msn down? (not down as in jay sean down, down as in not working :O)

vivian educated me about "pedegg" today. shes like, "how can you not know wendy! its always on tv." i had no idea what it was, so we googled it. and i realised, that it's that thing my mum has, but her version is called "foot buddy". quite fitting to start the day off like that, because while most of year 10 has done preg testing, my class, 10e had to give some goats a manicure . was quite an adventure. we had ryan in our group, somewhat of a pe dance group reunion, and he did a great job capturing and restraining the goat. us girls (me, michi and vivian) were too scared of being rammed by their horns, and since i already have a scar from last time, i wasnt too keen. so thanks ryan! ryan was the first to snip snip away with the shears. honestly, it looked painful as the goat's .. hoofs or hooves.. (oh dear my english is slipping away from me) anyway, they were rather thick so everytime we clipped them, it made a big click noise but mr schippers reassured us that it was just like clipping our fingernails. the goat got a bit fiesty so i sang to it. a bit of kpop, yknow, super junior and u-kiss. calmed it down, indeed. i would've done the sorry sorry dance for it but we needed three people to restrain mr goaty. one of the goats had a goatee hahahah. yes easily amused. just shake your head in shame.

stupid michelle wont bring her guitar to school with me tomorrow, fine, lazy bitch, ill bring it myself! maybe... can anyone lend me a capo for tomorrow? formspring/text me pls :D

in history, learned more about the vietnam war, particular the protests and campaigns. one of the major movements was the hippie thing, drugs, marijuana, ideas about loving mother nature and everything. purves even talked about woodstock hahah. then he asked, "why did men start growing their hair longer, who were they influenced by?" and no one said anything, so i was thinking, trying to be deep. and i said "..girls" but i didnt mean to say it that loud, only for vivian and michi to hear but the whole class and even purves himself heard, omg embarrassment D: and then he's like "-sigh- we are sloooowly getting through this lesson, arent we." well sir, im sorry im dumb and that i dont commemorate julius caesar's death every year! the answer was rock stars, btw :L

santosh, andy and i became closer japanese buddies today, as michi had to go to some eye doctor and left early, and so us losers who remained in the row luvoed like crazy with my new phone. will upload in two days (stupid bigpond, wont uncap me till 25th!) watched ponyo :D its so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. alan bro, youre always asking me what movies i want, download ponyo for me please? and i need a hug alan, you give nice hugs.

time to be a bit of a drama queen. bear with me please :P

i have two ulcers. yeah, not too much of a big deal. but it's on my top lip! and i cant eat properly, i cant drink properly, i cant even brush my teeth properly. when i brush my teeth every morning and night, i have to hold my top lip, and pull it outwards, as i brush my 28 pearly whites. (more like pearly yellows. well not to that extent of it being 'yellow', come on, im not dirty like that, man!) they're two ulcers, slowly joining up to form one big gigantic pain in my mouth. arrrrr. had to skip dinner tonight.

school today was lots of fun nevertheless. michi and vivian are such hilarious class buddies, they make year 10 worthwhile. these were more of moment things, but some of them were just because we were already giggling non stop :L

"he sees the world differently, don't you think?"
michelle being philosophical, on eric's height

"what if my appendix stops working?"
"just cut it off."
vivian giving michelle medical advice

"hey wendy, i have invisible ink! it works! oh.. wait. it stopped working."
michelle on her pen that was running out of ink and hence making creases on the page

"jing?! is that a name?!"
michelle being racist

"i'm sick, man."
yes you are, michelle. yes you are.

i couldn't talk properly with my ulcers, obviously, so everytime i tried to talk, i spat on people. not huge amounts of saliva, just, yknow. cos im trying to talk so that my lip doesn't collide with my teeth, rather difficult. you realise how much your tongue and your lips matter when it comes to verbal communication, after you get ulcers. yes, i am a bit slow.

kerr wrapped his watch around my finger, and that was our engagement ring. i rejected him, i'm waiting for a proper ring :L

went to kmart after school to buy a farm notebook. saw all the easter stuff. there was this ultra cute cute cute toy story metal tin carry case with 8 easter eggs inside. i want it so badly. just for the case. farrrrrrrrr. i took a photo of it, gonna upload when im not capped! (which should be tomorrow. bigpond, dont you rip me off!) getting maths results back from mr dillon should be funny. ill be sure to take photos and upload, stay tuned :)

tommo's surprise party @ bau truong!

this is gonna be rushed! so sorry in advance, gonna be a bit of a drag to read.

it was so so so much fun! thomson, i hoped you had a great night! just the fact that there were about 20 people there together, made the atmosphere so vibrant and energetic! (thanks to all the people who turned up and rsvp'ed to me/my bro!) i know i had a great night :)

the girls basically decided on somewhat of a smart casual dress code, and all came in dresses, genevieve and yvy didn't know about it though! but yvy wore liza's spare dress :) everyone looked really pretty tonight!

liza came over to my house to get ready-ish, we were stressing over what to wear LOL. got there, me and liza felt so 'formal' walking down all the way to bau truong! jacqueline, yvy and simon were already there. was getting so worried as everyone was late, and thomson was expected to arrive anytime! slowly people came, and then tommo appeared with a group of people and we all yelled happy birthday! we decided to join two round tables, cos they gave us some crap round and rectangle table. i think we pissed off the bau truong people :L two round tables slowly filled up, and i think the total count was 22. biggest turnout for any event i've planned for ever! we all ordered food after however long, i had to order for kenny cos my viet pwns his! yahuh. i sat on the guy table, lol felt so excluded, even angela moved and left me :( oh well, it was fun :D staring contests and bean curd in soup. mm, all the work of me. oh and thanks catboy for the rose :)

the fried crispy noodle with seafood and meat thingy that i ordered was huge and very fun to eat. crunch crunch. it looked like a hamburger, i just wanted to grab it with both my hands like a whopper LOL.

birthday cakes: ty vanessa for buying it (and then later hugging me and saying thanks for organising, makes me feel so special :D) and thanks to all the people that chipped in for the cakes! we all had sparklers and lit them up, so pretty! then the ice cream cake was melting, so we just all digged in because cutting it would just mean sloppy goo on plates rofl.

at the end, photo spam! in front of ze asian restaurant, such a hard time to find an asian that wasnt shifty to run away with our camera to take a group photo for us hahahah. in the end, asked the doorman to take it for us, he was really nice, even said happy birthday to thomson before he went back in! then just hung around, luvo luvo luvo hugs hugs hugs. a lot of dancing and singing "shots shots shots shots shots" :L

thanks to everyone that turned up, sorry to all those i left out in the invites :(

happy four months, happy 16th thomson, happy 15th israaq!

it is not too unusual to get birthday twins in a grade, but it is when they are exactly one year apart. as of today, tommo can start having sex, whilst israaq only has the right to sit and watch an m movie by himself. nevertheless, i hope they both had a fantastic day, as i was at windang. estimating the density of vegetation. and calculating the height of waves.

10e and 10i ventured out to windang and warilla today, to study coastal management. it wasnt as bad as people made it sound, but yes, it was rather boring. sad to say, the bus rides and kiddy playground were the best part. i paid $25 to eat lunch under a tree, climb on a kiddy jungle gym and drive 4 hours on a bus, 2 of those hours which were spent eyes closed, praying to god that i wouldnt throw up.

walking on the dry sand was a nightmare! i wore my converse so i cbb taking them off and walking barefooted, because the whole socks and shoelace drama would be too much. thongs and sandals were allowed on this excursion, well, at least mr gippel didnt say anything, and i didnt wear them! grrrrrr. at warilla beach, walked too near to the waves (i wanted wet sand to walk on, i was sinking deeper and deeper) and got from knees down drenched anyway, so i just gave up.

at windang, michelle and i took it upon ourselves to contribute something. so we picked the column of the worksheet that no one was working out. estimating the density of vegetation every 2 metres. whilst everybody had epic equipment like the 4m metal ruler, the 48m measuring tape, the anemometer or the huge level watching machine thing, me and michelle had to walk up and down and estimate how much spinifex or acacia plants there were compared to the sand, and guesstimate a percentage. i think the whole class took our results, so hahaha, if we die we die together, yeah. cindy and maryanne were hilarious as always, taking it too seriously. cindy lashed out at brendan for telling her to hurry up as she was measuring the wind speed and we all joined in. dont blame me, he told me to "quit hogging the level!" when i just trudged all the way up from 48m down the beach just to take my first turn everrrrrrrrr. hmph :(

on the bus home, started feeling so sick. so tried to sleep. michelle, being the skinny bitch she is, wasnt comfortable, so just rested on my hand, which rested on the arm rest. after half an hour, decided to lean on michelle anyway as she was leaning on the window by now. but no, she doesnt keep still: "WENDY. IT HURTS." so fine, back to my hand. i look around and i see nicholas leaning on alan, and alan with a disgusted face LOL. nicholas' eye was half open, and you could see his eyeball, the white and the .. iris? meh, screw scientific terms, the brown part. and alan ran away. so i ran and sat next to nicholas, hoping to do that thing people do when someone dies, and they wipe their hands over their face to shut their eyes, allowing them to "rest peacefully" but nicholas woke up and asked where alan was, awww. but im like, "you sleep scary.. he ran away." and so nic went back to leaning on himself, poor guy, so i offered my shoulder. it was rather comfortable in the end, i nearly fell asleep myself but it was like, 3 minutes to schl. (emily and shadman made me wish eric was there thoughhhh.) then alan came and shoved snakes into our mouths.

"wow man google is so smart" - Vanessa Ngothanh

Emergency evacuation drill today. No one in Year 10 took it seriously. Half of us were laughing over the class signs on the long green sticks, while the other half were singing Shots or Like A G6. Thanks Nicholas for blasting it out of your iPhone, my favourite song atm, hahah. Yes, I know, such trashy music. Everyone carried their valuables, as that was the initial instructions in any drill, and because we were scared they'd get stolen as rooms cannot be locked when there's an evacuation. Cindy Van grabbed her diary and graphics folder. We all laughed at her, but I guess that's why she's topping every subject and we're all being thrashed.. so we should all shut up lol.

SCRAM (Schools Conflict Resolution and Mediation run by The Law Society of NSW) team! Didn't even have to try out, got in straight away, thankyou Mr Kearney for saying nice, good stuff about me to Mr Gippel! (I'd expect that from you anyway, you were my debating coach, Sir.) Gippel seems so serious, I'm scared that if I stuff up he'll break my arm or something LOL. This should give me a good taste, to see if I want to do legal studies in senior. Seems so exciting, can't wait to start :)

Jordan Kerr proposed to me today. And I heard he also proposed to another 4 people and we're all getting married tomorrow? LOL, and there's only one guest at our ceremony, Stephen. Everyone's invited. Actually, I don't know why I accepted, he didn't even get me a proper ring. Yeah, I'm gonna call it off tomorrow! Rofl, I love wedding rings, or wedding ring look-a-likes. Yknow, with the diamond and everything. Especially Tiffany & Co. rings hahahah, $30 000 or something? Yeah, I'm one of those people that will accept someone's hand just for the ring. (Just kiddin', I'm not that cold!) But Kerr, if you are going to get me a ring, get me a nice one, and remember my fingers bigger than average size :P

In sport, just did Japanese homework and sang with Amy because we had Miss Blake and she's too awesome to make us bask in the sun! Knock You Down is probably my fourth faovurite song of all time :)

Geography excursion tomorrow = early train = yawn yawn yawn!

→ PE Dances 2010! Thankyou Shadman for uploading! It was so much fun and everybody's dances showed all the before, after school and weekend hours put into it! Great job, guys, I enjoyed watching all of them :D
→ For those who read my blog and don't know: every year, Year 10 classes are required to make up a dance for 3-5 minutes as one of their PE assessment tasks. It has to be themed on a topic studied such as bullying, discrimination, drink driving, etc!
→ "Never wanna listen to that song ever again." Michelle after our dance, on Sorry Sorry by Super Junior LOL. The stress affiliated with it is just too much, eh :P
→ One of my favourites that I can clearly remember is Vincent/Kenny/Tracey/Christie/Manisay's group! Nathan/Kabir's group as well. Oh, and in Angela's group, the moment where Michael dances by himself as the nerd. And Alan/Aldrich's one, where Alan is the fat boy, hahah. Some people can really dance, all these hidden talents, guys! Loved watching all the dances, AND I HAD FUN DURING MY ONE! FEELIN' SO FLY LIKE A G6! ;) (SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS)

masquerade masks complete me
Masquerade bash for my 16th ftw

Chichi's given birth to a litter of 6 puppies! Yay, they're so cute and tiny. If you want to see a picture, click here! I didn't want to upload it directly here, yknow, some people just don't like seeing this sort of thing, might even offend people.. or some people will just be like, "I'll report you to RSPCA for such ugly material you gave her!" Relax, brooooooooo. There, something worthwhile to sue me for, for saying 'bro'.

Drenched some goats today! Instead of preg testing that is, so pretty alright alternative. First we had to herd them into the shed and into the pens, that didn't take too long and pretty smoothly as well. Then three at a time, we had to jump into the pens with the calibrated drenching gun, basically stand with one goat between your legs, grab the muzzle, tilt it up and steady, with another person holding the horns. Then in goes the gun and the drench into the mouth! Vivian, Michelle and I were 7th, and hence had to make our way deeper into the pen, and go into the pen with all the fiesty goats who were head butting each other with their horns. One of them scratched me, and I think Cindy was like, "Lucky you got your tetanus shot!" LOL. We got pretty pro at the end (h). By the last goat, we were holding it steady. I think Mr Schippers was just shaking his head at our first few attempts to restrain a goat. Oh well, we did it, and exitted with our shoes filthy, crap and hair and everything else. Yes, the beauty of agriculture.

Stayed back after school for dance practise! (Ty Catboy for his extensive efforts in coming, for no reason at all!) So many disagreements on what to do, my group was basically too hungry or tired to care about being in sync. So we're just gonna rock up tomorrow and do our best, I guess. How's everybody's groups? All finished by now, yeah, can't wait to see everybody's dances on tape! :)

Mufti tomorrow! Our group's just gonna come to school in our dance costume, which is basically all black. We're gonna walk around school, and look like such a gang. Yeeeeeeee.

Don't ask us for drugs.

My dog is having puppies! Yes, right at this moment, ever since 3:25PM today! The puppy count is at 4 :)

Congregation at my house today for second last possible dance rehearsal! And I am very happy to say that we have finished. Argh, getting even more sick now :L So basically, Mitchum arrived first, then Michi then Ryan then Vivian. Tuned Michelle's guitar for her, as she brought it along, and we sang to Wedding Dress, the english version :D Practise timeee. Figured out what to do, random moves here and there, a lot of jumping up and down, round and round. Basically finished then, just needed to cut our song, replace bits and pieces. So went inside to do that, which ended up being a junk food binge. Tim Tams, Kit Kats, Sakatas, snakes, Dorito's LOL. Ironic because we were watching Biggest Loser while poor Mitch tried to fix the music, or his own words 'cut the tumour out'. Vivian went through my board games and took out Mouse Trap and assembled the contraption claiming "I missed out as a child". Poor Vivian. I don't want to give much away about our props... keep you guys speculating (our dance isn't too flashy flashy flashy wow wow so not much to speculate but anyway) but now I am left with bits of glitter on my floor rofl. Schweeeet.

Everyone's talking about NRL. Sigh, can't wait till AFL season starts. 27 March, Swans v St Kilda @ ANZ! I want to gooooooooo. I want to go to any Swans AFL game actually. So many good players left/retired this year :( I really hope the Swans get Premiership this year as Paul Roos is retiring at the end of the 2010 season. Damnit, I reckon I'm going to cry when he does D:

AND 10E: PREGNANCY TESTING TOMORROW? And yes, for all you, if any, non-Hurlstone readers, that is what you guys know as shoving your hand up a cow's ass.

my new door as of 13-03-10
being sick means staying in bed and carefully cutting out letters

I am very sick.

Hence the lack of updates and the slow replies to texts and calls: I'm sorry! My head is throbbing and my voice is hurting. I am sorry to the person I promised on Formspring about the project. I just remembered about it last night before I fell asleep! I feel really bad, actually, not keeping my word. I think I'm going to have to postpone it to next Friday. Sorry, sorry. (They were never going to be that good anyway :P)

Went to school sick yesterday, just because I would feel bad staying at home for something not too serious (yet), vaccinations and SCRAM tryouts. Nearly fell asleep on the train. Vaccinations first period, yay. [/sarcasm] Vivian chose to inform me that you can get autism if you get an injection while you're sick. Thanks Vivian. But I'm too Asian to go and pay $15 at my GP so screw it, I risked autism to save fifteen bucks. So, ladies and gentlemen, I am currently a walking sickness. With a slight chance of autism. I was gonna scare the lady who gave me my shot by answering yes when she asks, "Is there any chance that you're pregnant?" but then she might get revenge and yknow, make it hurt. She put the cotton ball below my shot, so far out, blood on my dress. Yes, Alvin, I did get that wound from a victorious battle.

And I reckon the dance by Phil and Chris at assembly was indeed, EPIC. Check it out here.

In commerce, it just got worse and worse. I yelled out for Panadol and Vincent goes, "I have Panamax." So I wait for him to fetch his cheap rendition of paracetamol out of his bag, but he forgot. Faced down on textbook (yes, if you get that textbook you'll probably get my disease too), I waited and waited and stupid Vincent, "Oh. Oops! I forgot." JEES. So much to remember, isn't it, Vince? So he takes his tablets pills drugs out for me, and I ask for water. "I don't have water," Vincent responds. "THEN GET ME SOME." LOL. I was such a PMS bitch. He asked Alvin for some, Alvin's full speculating my intentions. "I'm not gonna spit in your water," I reassured him. He gave it to me. As Vincent continued to answer questions on the Court, I break my Panamaxmaxmaxy pills in half, only to have him stop me with the second one. "What are you doing?" "I'm taking my medicine." "What the- you can't swallow pills?" "No." Thought that was obvious, Vincent. So he's like, "JUST TILT YOUR HEAD BACK." Far out, I swallowed my halves with ease, and when it got his one, I kept it in my mouth because I was too scared to swallow it. The pill eventually started dissolving and I could taste it. Had no choice but to swallow. "See, wasn't so hard, was it?" Vincent asks. I was just choking. Then my head just fell to the side, and he moved his shoulder into place, hahah, yay. But then complained that he couldn't write. Bitch. (Your shoulder was kinda bumpy anyway.) Then our whole row started calling each other bitch and drew the whole class's attention to us rofl.

Thanks Vincent :)

And thankyou to Vivian, Michelle and my brother, Alan for being the best support and classmates ever. Yes, which includes reading my cards and letters and reciting them. I can see you guys are not going to cease embarrassing me. Keep it comin'! KEEP IT COMIN'! On your wedding day, Vivian, I'm going to make an announcement about your love song dedication from Santosh! All joking and public humiliation aside, thanks for helping me make it through the day.

I went home, and slept. Slept and slept. Woke up at 5:30PM and remembered I had to do Truong homework so grabbed that out of my bag, lied in bed and finished it off. Then had to get dressed. Cramps were kicking in harsh, and I could barely walk. Had to overdose on more Panadol rofl. Managed to remain upstanding, got dressed, jammed Strepsils and more Panadol into my bag. At Truongs, it was hot, then it was cold, then it was hot then it was cold and cold and cold. Thankyou Angela for taking care of me, counting down the minutes for me. For offering your cardigan to me, wrapping it around my shoulders, then asking if I would prefer it on my legs as I was wearing shorts LOL (hey, my mum said it was hot.) I survived. It was mainly revision on linear so I got out alive. Phew.

I can't make it to Kristina's party today because I'm so sick! PE dance practise tomorrow, birthday invites to make, assignments to finish. I really hate being sick, and I can't afford to be sick. Gr. And I'm not used to this. I'm hardly ever sick. FML! Okay, a bit overdramatic.

Vincent, you owe me get well soon flowers.


And Nathan, you made my day.

Your eyes are scanning the room, searching, and the look you get when you catch that person's eyes. It hits you. It's like a stop sign in the middle of a highway, a drop of rain in a harsh desert, it's like an unexpected gunshot, it's like that moment where glass breaks: the trickling sound of it, the smoothness of it shattered, the mess you've made, and you simply stare because you don't know what else to do. You stare. Flashback, and then it's gone, because they turned away.

I am sick.

Sore throat and somewhat runny nose. Sneezy. Great, no one's gonna want to sit near me tomorrow rofl, I make myself sound like a giant walking bacteria. My mum made me honey and lemon, yay! Best thing about, well the only good thing about having a sore throat, is drinking honey and lemon. Whenever I get a sore throat I think and say to myself, ".. what was it like to not have a sore throat? Why didn't I never notice it?" I don't know, doesn't make sense. But whenever my throat's normal, I don't notice how much I swallow. I can't afford to be sick now though, PE dance :(

I demand that jacket from Valleygirl and that dress from Sportsgirl. Sigh, still lusting over it.

Got to see a Smartboard in action today! Mr Gippel used it, and our whole class was literally amazed. Or pretending to be, Clare was being all cute and blonde as always. The 'magic brushes' are cool, and the star brushes are cool and the rainbow hippie one is cool, and the different markers are cool and touch screen and everything. I wanna try it out. Another reason to become a teacher, get to use a Smartboard rofl. Yes, I know, I'm sad, but you should all know by now that I have a thing for stationery. (Officeworks is such a turn on.) (I'm kidding, yknow.) (But not about the stationery thing.) (Or am I?)

I am.

On the train, spreaded 'the hate' (don't worry if you don't get it) around to Christie. Informed her of my situation, and I simply love how she reacts and how supportive she is. YOU GO, CHRISTIE! Remind me to link you, LOL. Then her and Vivian at Tempest by 5 and it smells so nice. I want some. I WANT SOME. Haven't had nice tasting chewing gum in ages. I remember when, for my birthday last year, Thomson bought me 5/6 sticks of Hubba Bubba. Thomson's cool :)

Music really does have a big big impact on my life. Every song I listen to conveys a different mood to me. I listen to songs I used to be in love with in Year 5, and I remember how I felt and what was going on around me at the time. It really is beautiful. Light Up The Sky by Yellowcard is a big one. I still love this song so much though. Mostly because of how much it reminds me of.

I want a capo. Alvin says he's gonna chip in and help me accomplish my dream. Of course I'm not going to accept that, why would I accept someone's money to help me pollute their eyes with my noob guitaring and singing? Hm? See, I AM a consider person :D

I'm rather sleepy so let's wrap this up quickly!

Michelle and I completed our Japanese assignment today, yay! Yes, that's recording us reading the manga. We did half at lunch, and half during sport (which wasn't really sport because Miss Blake, being the awesome teacher she is, asked us if we would prefer to sleep and we all agreed, so took us back to her classroom and let us do whatever we wanted to. Well, not whatever, but we are tame and well behaved :D). In the recording, you can full hear the background noise of people screaming at lunch, and then halfway through the recording, it's all silent and our voices are very prominent. I sound weird. Michelle cracked up so many times, and I stuffed up so many times LOL. Sigh. Mind you, we don't even know what we were reading, we were just sight reading the roomaji Michi had translated.

At recess, me and Michelle went to ask Miss Eun about some of the kanji we didn't understand. She was in room 22 supervising a test. Whilst we were asking her questions at the front, there were year 7 kids doing exams. Miss Eun had to check up the dictionary for one of the kanji, so I looked around and caught a boy cheating, really badly as well (don't worry, he's not one of those cute little Year 7 Asian boys that give off the 'innocent' impression so I wasn't too surprised.) He had the piece of paper under his thigh, with probably all the hiraganas he had to learn on it. I saw him, he probably felt the stare on him, and looked up. Instead of looking embarrassed, he smiled and did a peace sign, and continued to cheat. And I'm thinking.. shouldn't you stop cheating, once you're caught? I got really pissed, because we all know Miss Eun is really nice, and that's just taking advantage of her, the amount of trust she has for her students is quite high. So, I kinda stood back, looked at him to see how much more was he gonna cheat, and he kept doing it, and kept looking up at me and smiled at me. Do I look like the type to encourage cheating?! Make me feel so shifty looking, rofl, stupid kid. Afterwards, when he walked out, I kinda told him off. I don't know, probably shouldn't have done that, but I didn't raise my voice, just tried to get my point across. He just kept quiet and walked away, only muttering, "I didn't know it." Meh. He's lucky he wasn't in my Creating Connections group. If he's going to cheat on the first 15 hiraganas that he's learning, how is he gonna manage the complete 46 hiragana test? I know Japanese doesn't matter because you can stop after Year 8 but it's still a subject.

I don't know why I got so upset over that. Why don't we just blame it on the PMS and all move on!

At lunch, besides recording the Japanese assignment, played guitar at Linda's group! I like her guitar, even though it's red, rofl. AND SHE HAD A CAPO. Jinan was like, "You should perform at assembly!" and that was a revelation because the last time I talked to her, she kinda ignored me and gave me the impression that she was implying that I was stupid :(

In sport, Michelle and I just watched music videos and tried to figure out the rest of our PE dance, and which parts to cut out, what formations, how to get into those formations, levels, etc etc. Then we got sick of that, our heads overwhelmed with the thought of how much more we have to do and fix up, that we just decided to lie down in the grass and well, at first squint at the sunlight, then stare at the clouds. Then rap to Big Bang. Cos we cool like that.

Happy birthday Michelle!

Today, Michelle turned fifteen and I think I was much more excited than she was. Screaming all the way from about the maths corridor to the Year 10 noticeboard, I think I frightened her a bit with my greeting. She stood up to accept my hug though, yay, first time she's ever received my hug without hesitation :D Though our hands did touch again a couple of times today whilst walking, and that kinda freaked her out a bit.

At lunch we got Margaret and Liza to distract Michelle! Margaret took Michi to the cash register while back at the group, we stuck balloons to poles, brought the cake from the canteen, put out all the presents. We waited and waited until Michelle finally made her appearance and we full screamed, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and then we all started singing, pretty uplifting atmosphere :) Then Michi opened her presents, the cardigan from Grace, Vivian and Christie and the Havaianas I got her (hope she liked them rofl). We had to fight off some Year 11s before we could eat our cake. And they're like, "I could just take your cake and you wouldn't even do anything." Do we look that defenseless and weak LOL.

Got results back for history! 10/10 for each of my assignments which means 30/30 overall! Finally a full mark! Vivian and Michi are so smart, always getting full and I'm always like, a 9/10 :( Purves also sprung a surprise test on us. I think I bullshitted my way through that pretty reasonably :L

Stayed back after school to practise our PE dance routine (due next Tuesday, eeep!) We got a lot done, more than I expect we would! Completing the chorus yesterday was a good idea, because now we just need to figure out things in between. Michelle, Mitchell, Vivian kinda suggested ideas for random sections of the songs, and we managed to stitch them all together and now we have around 2:10! YAY! (That includes chorus repeated). Thursday is our last practise to get moves figured out, things perfected. Then on Monday, eve of the performance, I think we're gonna stay back and make sure everything's perfect with the beat, make sure of costumes. Wow, cramming is something a high school student soon specialises in :L

And listening to Sorry Sorry by Super Junior on repeat to see if any ideas for dance moves come to mind. The things I do for you, PE.

Pet names. Either you've had one or someone have had one for you. Or you've heard lovers expressed their love via this method. It's cute, well actually, it can be cute. I must say, and I have been meaning to for a while now, I hate the names 'baby' and 'babe'. I hate it. Hate, hate, hate, hate it. Don't know why, it's just me. I know a lot of people call each other that, please don't get your boyfriend/girlfriend and come bash me. I'm not judging, I don't hate you, I hate the name. Babe. What am I, a talking pig? Thank goodness I've never been called that. Well, not seriously anyway. I just Googled pet names and went on this site here. Apparently, the most appropriate pet name for me is Cuddles Kissy-Snuggles. Eh. Can't complain, it's better than babe.

Dancing in PE today made progress to 32 seconds, which really means 1:04 as we repeat the chorus at least twice. So another 1:56 to go! I got so frustrated at one point, probably the PMS; sorry to my group. GG how Mr Wilson knows some of us are just plagiarising dances LOL. Now to figure out costumes.. I initially thought this was going to be fun but let's concur with everybody else now: can't wait till PE dance is over!

What's with the total Anti-Blazer thing going on? It's not that bad. Right? I don't know, but I reckon it looks pretty alright. Stupid Nicholas asking everyone on the train if they have one, trying to prove my opinion stupid. And people like Angela who wear blazers with normal clothes anyway, it's just a school blazer, what's the difference LOL. (And maybe my opinion will change after I have to wear it and lug it around if it gets hot. Yes I have ordered my blazer.) It'd be kinda annoying for those who haven't ordered blazers if teachers remain strict on uniform and in the end force everyone to get one. Nicholas said, "They're not gonna bother writing 30 uniform passes a day." Well, they'll do something? And if they don't then well, whatever, I'm wearing mine anyway :L If people are this worked up about blazers, maybe they should try change the summer uniform first :L

Michelle's birthday tomorrow, YAY!

I found a note on the floor next to my foot in maths in room 28 today. It said, "You still like her? HONESTLY." made me laugh, so I kept it. Makes me wonder not only who the conversation involved, but what the person in question has done. Or maybe if it's just personal matters that have led to the resentment of 'her'. But then I had to quickly resume my work on changing the subject of a formula, rofl. Maths in school is fun. Maths at Truong is scary :(

I was ranting to a friend, and this is what I was told: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. I forgot about that. But firstly, someone explain to me how does that even work?! Are you meant to hug them ten times harder or something?

I am feeling sick.

This is either from the cold I obtained from Mitchell, or from the glorious amounts of Mortein I was forced to use to defeat the cricket that invaded my room last night, while screaming "Dieeee!" and having my friend on the phone saying, "Wendy. Wendy. Wendy. NO MORE."

Tutor today was eventful. Besides me raging when Mitchell pointed out certain similarities between me and a certain someone, pretending to be School Certificate markers was actually fun. I've come to realise I'm a pretty harsh marker, Mitch and Ngoc always give C while I give D, they always give a high B when I give a low B. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, because my writing skills are quite poor and to have that sort of standard that I set for myself, would just mean allowing myself to fail myself. Does that even make sense. No? Let's move on.

I have 21 Formspring messages, biggest number of messages in inbox at one time, thanks guys :D Someone asked me to do a survey, so here it is, this is for you anonymous Formspring person!

---

a: how often do you and your significant other argue?
Well, we have minor disagreements, but most of them have been solved just over two or three days. We don't really get into 'big fights'.

b: what was the last book you read?
I attemped Rocket Boys but I barely finished the first chapter before I fell asleep.

c: do you have a pointy chin?
Nah, not at all.

d: what is the last thing that disgusted you?
Well, you know when you see a lot of things all accumulated together? Like for example, a beehive with all those holes? My knitted cardigan, I don't know, there's this hole, and one of the thread probably disappeared or something, and the wool left behind, they're all in this crease, and it's all very even and bleh, looks horrible. I still like my cardigan though :D

e: have you ever ridden on an elephant?
No.

f: do you think the earth is pretty from space?
It must be, right? Green and blue :D

g: do you know anyone named gina?
GINA LASH. But no, hahah.

h: when was the last time you felt happy?
When I was sleeping.

i: could you ever live in an igloo?
Yeah, if I had the determination and the stuff needed. And the correct clothing. And good company :D

j: do you prefer jam or marmalade?
JAM!

k: how old were you when you first were allowed to use a knife?
Well, I was never not allowed.. but I think I started using knives freely when I was around Year 3/4. I was always afraid of cutting myself.

l: do you believe walking under a ladder is bad luck?
No, but I still get that paranoia whenever I do!

m: have you ever seen maggots?
Yes.

n: are you naive?
When it comes to certain matters, yes.

o: is your pet obedient?
Nah. My dogs are very protective of my family and our house, and will continue barking incessantly no matter what. And also, they are so difficult to take on walks. They don't walk. They just sit and wait for me to take the leash off so they can run off. I love them, nevertheless.

p: how patient are you?
Generally pretty impatient. Depends on who and what I'm dealing with.

q: who is your favorite queen?
No idea.

r: what was the last racist thing that you heard?
Uh, myself LOL. Calling my mum Asian or something, it was a joke of course :L

s: was the last snake you saw poisonous?
I think so, that's why we weren't allowed to walk down that path of the bush.

t: where did you last travel to?
Church, like I do every Sunday.

u: do you know anyone who can play the ukulele?
Yeah, Troy :D

My mum.

y: what was the last thing you yearned for?
For Catboy.

z: do you know what a zinnia is?
No, but it sounds like tinea.

Went to Macarthur Square today, to birthday shop and to watch Valentine's Day! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, it lacked a bit of depth though, and the 'surprise' element, but the way all the couples were connected was well done, and the cuteness of Valentine's Day was portrayed well. The movie reminded me that Jennifer Garner is very, very pretty and her dimples are cute too! (Nudge, nudge, Michelle.) Taylor Swift was such a bimbo, made me laugh so hard, because I kinda dislike her enough already, as beautiful as she is, hahah. I give Valentine's Day 3.5/5 :)

I dared Eric to eat one of his hot chips with wasabi. He did that with ease. It's not just the spiciness that I can't stand with wasabi, it's the flavour. It's so pungent. I really can't, I smell it and my nose wants to rip off my face and grow legs and run off. So, I dared Eric to eat his hot chips with soy sauce. He bit half his chip, inserted the little fishy soy sauce thing into his chip and squirted, which resulted in the chip turning a nice, soy sauce colour, LOL. He ate that. Then I put more soy sauce over his chips, he wouldn't eat it. So I threatened him, placing one of his chips over the mouth of his milk tea bottle. He didn't eat it so I dropped it in and then made him drink the milk tea and eat the chip. That's right :P

AND I REALLY WANT THE SAILOR JACKET AT VALLEYGIRL WHICH IS NOT ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE ONE ON THEIR WEBSITE IS UGLY. THE ONE I WANT IS PRETTY, HAS GOLD BUTTONS AND STRIPES AND IS ONLY $35. I WANT IT SO BAD, I WILL EVEN TRADE YOU ONE OF MY TOENAILS FOR IT, VALLEYGIRL!!!!!!!

i know i say im trying to be a better person, but my personality is struggling to change in some situations. im still stubborn and sometimes conceited to the point that my mind is made up before anything is barely even said. which obviously leads to major guilt and regret later on.

i was in a phone call last night, something that has become somewhat routine. it was an enjoyable conversation, and everything was fine, but sometimes, some stereotyping on my part collides with statements said by the other party, and my head goes crazy. and to avoid any quarrels i just dont talk and encourage the other person to go to sleep. which doesnt work. if i was in the other person's shoes, id refuse to hang up too. so after a quarter or so of an hour, i explained my view.

"dont you trust me?" he says, and i snap with a straight forward "no".

okay, let me say something that's gonna make me seem like a goody goody nerd, and may or may not gain me some (more) haters. i think drinking at this age is too unnecessary. i say "too" because drinking is never necessary. im being asked for trust from someone who was peer pressured into it about a year or two ago. and trust me, im trying to find it and hand it over, because i know they're better than that. i was so caught up in the belief that he has turned out to be someone that i thought he would never be. i really did give him a hard time for the most part of the rest of the phone call.

it wasnt until he revealed to me that he had no plans of even going to the afterparty, but instead was going to ask for my presence on the night, and wanted to spend the rest of the night with me wondering around the city, and that he's been saving up for it. of course, at first, i speculated, but then i realised it made sense. the continuous mentions of 'saving up' and 'finding a job' finally fell into place. and when i apologised, he wasnt even mad. just happy that i wasnt mad anymore. and when i labelled myself as selfish, he tried to convinced me that i wasnt by recounting the things ive done. and when i say i dont deserve to know someone like him, he says he only wants me.

bottom line, i really hate myself right now. thank you for accepting my apology, for allowing me to see the faults within me, and for giving me the push to fix them all up to be a better person for you. i promise.

so today we celebrated lisa's birthday as she's not gonna be here tomorrow, and her birthdays gonna be during the holidays! had a tub of cookies and cream, a chocolate bavarian, sakatas, sherbet, cheese and onion chips, four bottles of soft drinks with a million cans, red skins, yknow, great food, thanks to everyone who brought food, i felt bad so i just paid sophia, chipped in for the cake! the birthday present of the giant easter egg was an interesting one, good work liza/sophia :p

some international number is calling me.. international code 68? i keep saying wrong number, but they keep calling.. actually, the lady blabs in some random language. i wonder if someone that owes her money gave her a fake number.. and turns out to be my number. or maybe she lost a daughter and thinks im her long lost daughter or something! or maybe maybe maybe .. i have no life.

me and michelle have decided to lose 20kg during the holidays so we'll look good for formal. we'll come back as 30kg human beings no joke. actually, i am joking.

my formspring is dead, i remember when i used to come home to 21 messages in my inbox. those were the days! april fools' day tomorrow! i seriously hope i dont get pranked.. not that our group has a tradition of celebrating the day anyway? hell, half of my group won't even be here tmr :L

mr purves let us watch woodstock to pick up on some of the songs that were anti involvement in vietnam war. "feel like im fixing to die" by country joe and the fish or something like that, started off with tthe vocalist screaming "give me a f! give me a u! give me a c! give me a k! what does it spell?" mr purves desperaetly tried to mute it, but everytime he unmuted it, the crowd was responding, yelling FUCK. LOL.

i feel like the rain suppresses everything. it really does cover up happiness, in my opinion. some people find the rain calming and serene, i don't know, not me! it makes the day dark, gloomy, it makes classes ten times more drab for me. and plus, everything's.. wet. duh, wendy. well you know what i mean!

a rather usual day, school-wise. now that we are approaching end of term, with only 2 days to go, the only things that me and michi and vivi get up to is singing and nonsense talking. and it feels like we are being stuffed like a teddy at build-a-bear with assignments. especially the english one where we have to record our voice and make a short story using pictures and music? gaaaah, so pointless. and history test tomorrow, oh shit. seeeeee, kids, thats why you should use your diary! ive given up on my diary for now.. last few days of term 1, cut me some slack! winter uniform yay, and i dont care what you say, i reckon the blazer's gonna look pretty decent! (thanks alan for not disowning me when i told him i already bought one LOL. he said, "no way" yaaay, best brother ever :D)

winter is approaching.. and i need ankle boots now. now!

a bit of a talk going on about easter show. i dont know, but events like that dont really appeal to me.. im not really an amusement park/theme park/rides kinda person! i just dont find it fun, i seriously get stressed and freaked out and stay stressed and freaked out! (water parks are a different story, i do enjoy jamberoo :D) at camp when we do stuff like giant swing, thats just a test of courage really.. and i do it, cos i want to push myself to the limit. but paying at theme parks to experience this.. no thaaanks! thats why moon fest and the new years festival thingy, doesnt appeal to me either.

after school, was persuaded to go cabramatta again by someone, and being the nice person i am, i find my way there even in this rain! the things i do for you, catboy! michelle, i saw kevin! hahahah, why didnt you wait for him, michi! he didnt smile at me, so i didnt see his dimples, awww. he looks the perfect height for you, michi ;) spent the afternoon at the park again, with eric's broken umbrella. which stabbed me. and i used to stab him a couple of times. note to self: best weapon against eric is strawberry freddo chocolate. (it was a lovely afternoon, eric, i had fun, even under your broken umbrella :3)

was youtubing nothin' on you covers actually, when i came across this. and so i downloaded the original, which isn't great in terms of quality, but its good for jumping around to when im getting changed.. uh yes, LOL. and of course, i downloaded that cover! oh and i rememebered to check out run devil run by snsd for michi, and yes, i do like it now, but it still doesn't beat gee and oh! ;D

hope grace has fun in korea/japan!

brought my guitar to school today, picked the wrong day to because it began to pitter patter a bit and linda forgot her capo! ah well, cant blame her, ipt exam must've been rather hair tearing! hope you guys went well! me and alvin were jammin' at lunch, well not really, alvin was just like "i cant rap, youre too confusing when you sing". blah blah blah. so fine. no more guitar. me and michi continued to write our song for vivian. we sung it to the tune of justin bieber's baby today, yaaaa. i feel really dead right now because i have a horrible headache, out of nowhere! and it really does feel like an elastic band around your head, continuously being pulled and released :(

and my e string snapped @:
edit 10:38PM michelle said i should change it so it says "my g string snapped". just because she wears one, yknow, she wants to drag me down with her? sorry michi, im not as kinky as you! :9

finally got our maths simultaneous test back! me and margaret and vivian were comparing, and we were all like, "oh my god, i failed!" and we checked each other's and we all get the same mark ie 94%! see what being asian does to you, it makes 100% the average for math! and and and i got two stickers for using a particular pronumeral, look! screw using x's and y's :D (please excuse the extremely extremely extremely messy writing, my writing is always messy in math.)






in geography, alvin informed me that i made it to debating! seriously, i couldnt believe it! im not being modest, im being honest, i seriously cannot believe that margaret didnt get onto the team. she freaking smashed us all at the tryouts! soooo, this team is somewhat of a flashback, eh, monica, kabir and alvin! cant wait till i can say, "and my second speaker will be talking about.." ;D

my two ulcers go away, and a new one pops up, right at the top of my gum, between the wall of my mouth and my gum :'(

after school, there was scram practice but being the rebel bitch i am, i just went home. im not even on the team, im reserve for round 1 and i was lugging around my guitar! anyway, made a stop at cabramatta because a) i'm asian and b) to hang out, yo! what a nice boy catboy is, carried my guitar for me. well not really nice, tried to make me reveal my weakness, whilst using my other weaknesses. hmph. (its so rare to see him laugh like that though :3) well karma got him, when he was waiting at the station with me for the train home, his brother got off on the other platform, hahahahahahahahahhah who's embarrassed now! rofl im not that evil..catboy hasnt texted. i hope he's still alive.

so instead of completing (or rather, making a substantial start) on my short story for the henry lawson competition, which is compulsory, i dont know why, i am writing this blog. because my creative juices are dry, not that i had any to begin with. i do love english, i love essays, i love descriptive paragraphs, but short stories will be the death of me. i am not a creative person! the only idea that i have at the moment is to write about me not being able to write a short story. gonna be a loooooong night. someone teleport and give me a hug! :( thanks nathan for the cyber hug.

im listening to justin bieber. thats how bad this is getting. grr i detest short stories. there's a stupid fly waltzing around in my room.

so what happened today. went to church. i drank miso soup. had two guylian chocolates. had mushrooms and brocolli with rice for dinner. drank a lot of passionfruit crush. slept. slept, slept. slept. watched the big bang theory. wow i really need to do something with my life. or maybe i just need to write this damn short story.

alright, no more procrastinating, time to write this short story. lets hope i make it out alive. ok go!

photo off eugenes blog. havent watched mean girls in a while. then again, ive watched it a couple of gazillion times, thanks channel 10. they havent shown it this year, eh? wow. i was lying in bed last night, and i was thinking about who would bother reading my last post, it made me sad. then i thought about going out with christie and margaret tomorrow (which was today) :D

i woke up with a huge blister on my hand.

girls day outtt! i like calling them 'my girlies', as bimbo as that sounds. a lot of browsing, holding hands, skipping around, invading change rooms, pissing off staff as we didnt buy. its so awkward when they ask if you need help in the change rooms. i know its their job but i just feel so bad when i walk out and i have to give it back to them, using the excuse "sorry, it doesnt look good on me". (and then instead of offering pity, they offer me another size.) ended up with three shopping bags at the end of the day: forever new, valleygirl and glassons. first purchases in ages. like ive said before, i tend to dislike valleygirl, the quality and design. but it was love at first sight with this jacket! i seriously need ankle boots. i cannot find the perfect pair, and my havaianas are dead, and my kitty sandler flats are dead (cant blame them, i first wore them in 2006. thats nearly 4 years rofl)

cheer cheer the red and the white tonight! saw four men, all wearing sydney swan t-shirts and "2010 season member" cards around their necks. made me smile! keeping the afl spirit alive! i miss michael o'loughlin, leo barry, barry hall too :'(

the train back home was a millenium. i got onto a carriage with no seats, so decided to change. i walked upstairs. there were no seats, except one, the single one in the corner, all cramped and squashed. decided to sit down. the carriage was noisy, that was one thing for sure, and a lot of stares and glances were directed to four three-seaters in particular. these were all men, screaming, yelling, mimicking each other. they were accompanied by four women in uniform, who looked fine with the whole situation. after a few minutes, i took a longer look to get a grasp of what was going on. after a while it became apparent to me that these people were all of a mental medical condition, or something of the like. there was a man all dressed in black, a man wearing a cap with a white t-shirt, a man with a striped blue shirt, another with jeans and a green t-shirt. it was their day out today, and all of them looked ecstatic, reflecting what a great day they must've had. the man in blue interested me most. he had this constant smile on his face, he was much quieter, waving to people around him, people outside the window, people that got on the train.

they got off at fairfield, making quite a racket. the man in blue waved at me, as i was sitting next to the stairs, and i smiled and waved back, not sure if i was the first to have done that today. i looked out the window, wondering what he would do next after he alighted the train. sure enough, he stood, facing the train, with the huge grin on his face, and waved. his eyes werent directed at me, so i didnt wave. when the nurse got off, she grabbed his hand and walked away, exiting the station.

i seriously thought about this, as he headed out the station. the gentle nature that he possessed, the kindness that was evident. sure, he was heading out the station, but where was he heading? his future, his life. i mean, what future, what life? he will always be enclosed in this condition, this sickness. whatever mental condition he has, it has deprived him of the life he could've led. there was a lot going on in my mind in regards to this. i thought more and more and more and more and more about it.

and honestly, i nearly cried.

too many take advantage of their luck, some not even noticing it. too many see it as normal, to have what they have. thank you, man in blue, for helping me realise how fortunate i am, for emphasising how grateful i should be. its cheesy, i know, but seriously, you dont know til you experience it.

this morning when i was taking a shower, i subconsciously used my left hand to put shampoo onto my right hand. and then it felt all awkward, because i'm right handed..yeah, i'm such an interesting person.

i feel like everything's falling apart. no im not melodramatic, i'm serious. the little strap thing that holds your watch strap from sticking out (yes, please just nod and say yes you understand) has broken off, it is not only connected to one side. and my havaianas strap broke in the middle of truong! i nudged angela to look, and she began choking on her smart nutrient water whatever. never get bored of angela stories, eh? i told her not to accidentally dye her face by accident tonight. then rayray called me slack. thats pretty sweet though, that he stuck up for her, but jees raymond, such a dickhead to me LOL! should be going shopping tomorrow with my girlies, i dont have a sufficient amount of $$$ to satisfy my wants. wow, sounds like i'm talking about my sexual drive. i'm not.

swans v st kilda: 2010 starts tmr for the bloods!

english results back! got a lot of slaps and i hate yous from my group. people, please redirect your hatred towards genevieve in. so, as i have already said in my previous post, the top mark in the grade was 16/20 and only 8 people got that. 4 of them, are in 10e, so thanks guys for making heaps of people in the class feel bad rofl. 10m beats our average by 0.1, which just means war! seriously, mr purves already compares our two classes like crazy, he said he's gonna look at our half yearly results and then conclude who's the better class. grrrrr :P oh and i got 15/20, btw which was 7 for the extended, 3 for the first short response and 5 for the next short response. short my ass, one whole freaking page! got better than i expected, so sadly, i cant morph into a rabbit like i pledged in my last blog. but i was so looking forward to being white and fluffffffy. like miffy. miff miff. is that the noise rabbits make? well, in my head it is!

and holy shit, i got like, the mark that came third in truong for linear functions. seriously, what the heck is going on?!

michelle and i wrote a song for vivian and we are performing it on monday, im bringing my guitar and everything. gonna be one to remember, definitely better than the love song dedication from santosh aka kid with long ass eyelashes aka vivian's lover boy. me and michelle are pretty hardcore rappers, man. yo yo yo yo yo yo. ponyo. rofl that just reminded me, finished watching ponyo in japanese today, the ending is a bit what-the-fuck-is-going-on, all this magic happens and the storyline goes on crack, but the cuteness incoporated in the beginning of the film makes up for absolutely everything. everything.

people who have had the absolute horror of having to endure me day to day (that is you, vivian michi and alvin), would know that i have been singing knock you down by keri hilson ft kanye and ne*yo non stop! alvin has also took up the position as my personal rapper, so whenever we're walking from class to class, we're singing it! my guitar is screaming for me to stop playing the same chords over and over. yes, i do sing a lot at home, im not proud of my voice, but i do enjoy singing to myself, in the shower, before i sleep, whilst im doing homework. (wow im such a freak.) aaaaand so ive been youtubing covers and stuff a lot (obviously). ive found my favourite two: kindasmooth and an le, cp and joseph vincent. the first video, they wear the worst clothes ever, but the harmonisation is serious ear sex, and they medley it with whatcha say, the transition from kyd to that song makes me cry. (they teach the chords at the end, but i need a capo. grr.) the second one, even though the girl goes a bit off key, the guy in the middle, cp, totally cracks me up, his voice is also very unbelievably good. and the joseph vincent guy.. *faints*. the way he sings the beginning captured me, i sing it like that now rofl. actually, the whole vibe of it is just really fun, i really enjoy watching that vid. sorry eric, but cathy's video was a bit too boring, and she sends off this stuck up vibe to me now :P

stupid bra strap, too tight. it's hurting my shoulders. margaret tried to fix it on wednesday, mr kearney probably thought we were up to something lesbianny LOL. and if you actually read my whole blog today, wow, i really do like you a lot lot lot lot lot.

uncapped means online shopping browsing, youtube and new music! and formspring person: i uploaded the photos in the post below :)

english was first period today, and we were notified that we would receive our english assessment results tomorrow. apparently, highest mark in the grade is 16/20, and four people in 10e got that, said miss skola. 10m came first, we're all like in shock and disbelief cos we got cindy van, yknow? rofl! as long as i get above 50% for this assessment task, i'll be somewhat okay. i know, my expectations have dropped like crazy.

speaking of assessment tasks, got pe marks back! my group is oh so bitterly disappointed :( 20/30, a pretty average mark which will most likely result with a b on my report, but we put so so so much effort into it! sigh, there was only individual marks, and me and vivian's marks were different by one, me and mitch got the same, michi was too sad to go and check rofl. i think our group came last in the class or somethinggggg, dayum. wilson said it would be marked on efforts and everything, not just dance skill.. so where's the other 10?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! huh!?!??!?!?!?! we werent lazy kids :( -composure- well i guess thats how the cookie crumbles. like eric said, time to own the theory side of this subject.

i promised vivian and michi id write a song about them. i keep laughing, the only word that rhymes with vivian is amphibian.

happy birthday troy! so many people turning 16 D:

wednesdays means three periods, and if two of those periods are pe practical, then score! no more dancing in pe, it's aussie sports now, and we started off with afl! yay, mr wilson kept making sydney swans references, made me smile. im desperate for some afl action. this saturday, swans v saints, cant wait :D

my legs were aching crazily afterwards, due to the non stretching. who knew warm up was that important. i was kinda a bitch in maths to mr dillon, he kept looking at me for answers and i just looked at him blankly, which i know pisses him off tremendously. but i was too tired, and my chest was still hurting! no not my boobs, like, internally. internally.

at lunch, mr kearney asked angela, margaret, michi and myself to help him carry boxes of chocolates up the stairs for him. we said, we'll do it for some chocolate, and he said "okay later." mr kearney decides it'd be fast to do it all in one go, so he asks us to pile three on him, while some of us are struggling with just one (and we're not that weaker than him), and im holding two and my back is like, having a seizure or whatever, and so i finally reach the top, and mr kearney says "i'll put them down first" and they all topple and we just can't stop laughing. margaret reckons he was trying to impress mrs hewett. well, obviously that failed, the chocolates were all over the floor rofl.

he still owes us chocolate.

ultimate frisbee was fun today, we had dan from the australian ultimate frisbee team come coach us! far out, his throws and catches are so professional, michelle nearly committed suicide :P it was fun, he said our team's the first team he's coached that's been so quick to catch on, and how he's never seen three points scored with no turnovers at all. yahuh, hurlstone (h)

is msn down? (not down as in jay sean down, down as in not working :O)

vivian educated me about "pedegg" today. shes like, "how can you not know wendy! its always on tv." i had no idea what it was, so we googled it. and i realised, that it's that thing my mum has, but her version is called "foot buddy". quite fitting to start the day off like that, because while most of year 10 has done preg testing, my class, 10e had to give some goats a manicure . was quite an adventure. we had ryan in our group, somewhat of a pe dance group reunion, and he did a great job capturing and restraining the goat. us girls (me, michi and vivian) were too scared of being rammed by their horns, and since i already have a scar from last time, i wasnt too keen. so thanks ryan! ryan was the first to snip snip away with the shears. honestly, it looked painful as the goat's .. hoofs or hooves.. (oh dear my english is slipping away from me) anyway, they were rather thick so everytime we clipped them, it made a big click noise but mr schippers reassured us that it was just like clipping our fingernails. the goat got a bit fiesty so i sang to it. a bit of kpop, yknow, super junior and u-kiss. calmed it down, indeed. i would've done the sorry sorry dance for it but we needed three people to restrain mr goaty. one of the goats had a goatee hahahah. yes easily amused. just shake your head in shame.

stupid michelle wont bring her guitar to school with me tomorrow, fine, lazy bitch, ill bring it myself! maybe... can anyone lend me a capo for tomorrow? formspring/text me pls :D

in history, learned more about the vietnam war, particular the protests and campaigns. one of the major movements was the hippie thing, drugs, marijuana, ideas about loving mother nature and everything. purves even talked about woodstock hahah. then he asked, "why did men start growing their hair longer, who were they influenced by?" and no one said anything, so i was thinking, trying to be deep. and i said "..girls" but i didnt mean to say it that loud, only for vivian and michi to hear but the whole class and even purves himself heard, omg embarrassment D: and then he's like "-sigh- we are sloooowly getting through this lesson, arent we." well sir, im sorry im dumb and that i dont commemorate julius caesar's death every year! the answer was rock stars, btw :L

santosh, andy and i became closer japanese buddies today, as michi had to go to some eye doctor and left early, and so us losers who remained in the row luvoed like crazy with my new phone. will upload in two days (stupid bigpond, wont uncap me till 25th!) watched ponyo :D its so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. alan bro, youre always asking me what movies i want, download ponyo for me please? and i need a hug alan, you give nice hugs.

time to be a bit of a drama queen. bear with me please :P

i have two ulcers. yeah, not too much of a big deal. but it's on my top lip! and i cant eat properly, i cant drink properly, i cant even brush my teeth properly. when i brush my teeth every morning and night, i have to hold my top lip, and pull it outwards, as i brush my 28 pearly whites. (more like pearly yellows. well not to that extent of it being 'yellow', come on, im not dirty like that, man!) they're two ulcers, slowly joining up to form one big gigantic pain in my mouth. arrrrr. had to skip dinner tonight.

school today was lots of fun nevertheless. michi and vivian are such hilarious class buddies, they make year 10 worthwhile. these were more of moment things, but some of them were just because we were already giggling non stop :L

"he sees the world differently, don't you think?"
michelle being philosophical, on eric's height

"what if my appendix stops working?"
"just cut it off."
vivian giving michelle medical advice

"hey wendy, i have invisible ink! it works! oh.. wait. it stopped working."
michelle on her pen that was running out of ink and hence making creases on the page

"jing?! is that a name?!"
michelle being racist

"i'm sick, man."
yes you are, michelle. yes you are.

i couldn't talk properly with my ulcers, obviously, so everytime i tried to talk, i spat on people. not huge amounts of saliva, just, yknow. cos im trying to talk so that my lip doesn't collide with my teeth, rather difficult. you realise how much your tongue and your lips matter when it comes to verbal communication, after you get ulcers. yes, i am a bit slow.

kerr wrapped his watch around my finger, and that was our engagement ring. i rejected him, i'm waiting for a proper ring :L

went to kmart after school to buy a farm notebook. saw all the easter stuff. there was this ultra cute cute cute toy story metal tin carry case with 8 easter eggs inside. i want it so badly. just for the case. farrrrrrrrr. i took a photo of it, gonna upload when im not capped! (which should be tomorrow. bigpond, dont you rip me off!) getting maths results back from mr dillon should be funny. ill be sure to take photos and upload, stay tuned :)

tommo's surprise party @ bau truong!

this is gonna be rushed! so sorry in advance, gonna be a bit of a drag to read.

it was so so so much fun! thomson, i hoped you had a great night! just the fact that there were about 20 people there together, made the atmosphere so vibrant and energetic! (thanks to all the people who turned up and rsvp'ed to me/my bro!) i know i had a great night :)

the girls basically decided on somewhat of a smart casual dress code, and all came in dresses, genevieve and yvy didn't know about it though! but yvy wore liza's spare dress :) everyone looked really pretty tonight!

liza came over to my house to get ready-ish, we were stressing over what to wear LOL. got there, me and liza felt so 'formal' walking down all the way to bau truong! jacqueline, yvy and simon were already there. was getting so worried as everyone was late, and thomson was expected to arrive anytime! slowly people came, and then tommo appeared with a group of people and we all yelled happy birthday! we decided to join two round tables, cos they gave us some crap round and rectangle table. i think we pissed off the bau truong people :L two round tables slowly filled up, and i think the total count was 22. biggest turnout for any event i've planned for ever! we all ordered food after however long, i had to order for kenny cos my viet pwns his! yahuh. i sat on the guy table, lol felt so excluded, even angela moved and left me :( oh well, it was fun :D staring contests and bean curd in soup. mm, all the work of me. oh and thanks catboy for the rose :)

the fried crispy noodle with seafood and meat thingy that i ordered was huge and very fun to eat. crunch crunch. it looked like a hamburger, i just wanted to grab it with both my hands like a whopper LOL.

birthday cakes: ty vanessa for buying it (and then later hugging me and saying thanks for organising, makes me feel so special :D) and thanks to all the people that chipped in for the cakes! we all had sparklers and lit them up, so pretty! then the ice cream cake was melting, so we just all digged in because cutting it would just mean sloppy goo on plates rofl.

at the end, photo spam! in front of ze asian restaurant, such a hard time to find an asian that wasnt shifty to run away with our camera to take a group photo for us hahahah. in the end, asked the doorman to take it for us, he was really nice, even said happy birthday to thomson before he went back in! then just hung around, luvo luvo luvo hugs hugs hugs. a lot of dancing and singing "shots shots shots shots shots" :L

thanks to everyone that turned up, sorry to all those i left out in the invites :(

happy four months, happy 16th thomson, happy 15th israaq!

it is not too unusual to get birthday twins in a grade, but it is when they are exactly one year apart. as of today, tommo can start having sex, whilst israaq only has the right to sit and watch an m movie by himself. nevertheless, i hope they both had a fantastic day, as i was at windang. estimating the density of vegetation. and calculating the height of waves.

10e and 10i ventured out to windang and warilla today, to study coastal management. it wasnt as bad as people made it sound, but yes, it was rather boring. sad to say, the bus rides and kiddy playground were the best part. i paid $25 to eat lunch under a tree, climb on a kiddy jungle gym and drive 4 hours on a bus, 2 of those hours which were spent eyes closed, praying to god that i wouldnt throw up.

walking on the dry sand was a nightmare! i wore my converse so i cbb taking them off and walking barefooted, because the whole socks and shoelace drama would be too much. thongs and sandals were allowed on this excursion, well, at least mr gippel didnt say anything, and i didnt wear them! grrrrrr. at warilla beach, walked too near to the waves (i wanted wet sand to walk on, i was sinking deeper and deeper) and got from knees down drenched anyway, so i just gave up.

at windang, michelle and i took it upon ourselves to contribute something. so we picked the column of the worksheet that no one was working out. estimating the density of vegetation every 2 metres. whilst everybody had epic equipment like the 4m metal ruler, the 48m measuring tape, the anemometer or the huge level watching machine thing, me and michelle had to walk up and down and estimate how much spinifex or acacia plants there were compared to the sand, and guesstimate a percentage. i think the whole class took our results, so hahaha, if we die we die together, yeah. cindy and maryanne were hilarious as always, taking it too seriously. cindy lashed out at brendan for telling her to hurry up as she was measuring the wind speed and we all joined in. dont blame me, he told me to "quit hogging the level!" when i just trudged all the way up from 48m down the beach just to take my first turn everrrrrrrrr. hmph :(

on the bus home, started feeling so sick. so tried to sleep. michelle, being the skinny bitch she is, wasnt comfortable, so just rested on my hand, which rested on the arm rest. after half an hour, decided to lean on michelle anyway as she was leaning on the window by now. but no, she doesnt keep still: "WENDY. IT HURTS." so fine, back to my hand. i look around and i see nicholas leaning on alan, and alan with a disgusted face LOL. nicholas' eye was half open, and you could see his eyeball, the white and the .. iris? meh, screw scientific terms, the brown part. and alan ran away. so i ran and sat next to nicholas, hoping to do that thing people do when someone dies, and they wipe their hands over their face to shut their eyes, allowing them to "rest peacefully" but nicholas woke up and asked where alan was, awww. but im like, "you sleep scary.. he ran away." and so nic went back to leaning on himself, poor guy, so i offered my shoulder. it was rather comfortable in the end, i nearly fell asleep myself but it was like, 3 minutes to schl. (emily and shadman made me wish eric was there thoughhhh.) then alan came and shoved snakes into our mouths.

"wow man google is so smart" - Vanessa Ngothanh

Emergency evacuation drill today. No one in Year 10 took it seriously. Half of us were laughing over the class signs on the long green sticks, while the other half were singing Shots or Like A G6. Thanks Nicholas for blasting it out of your iPhone, my favourite song atm, hahah. Yes, I know, such trashy music. Everyone carried their valuables, as that was the initial instructions in any drill, and because we were scared they'd get stolen as rooms cannot be locked when there's an evacuation. Cindy Van grabbed her diary and graphics folder. We all laughed at her, but I guess that's why she's topping every subject and we're all being thrashed.. so we should all shut up lol.

SCRAM (Schools Conflict Resolution and Mediation run by The Law Society of NSW) team! Didn't even have to try out, got in straight away, thankyou Mr Kearney for saying nice, good stuff about me to Mr Gippel! (I'd expect that from you anyway, you were my debating coach, Sir.) Gippel seems so serious, I'm scared that if I stuff up he'll break my arm or something LOL. This should give me a good taste, to see if I want to do legal studies in senior. Seems so exciting, can't wait to start :)

Jordan Kerr proposed to me today. And I heard he also proposed to another 4 people and we're all getting married tomorrow? LOL, and there's only one guest at our ceremony, Stephen. Everyone's invited. Actually, I don't know why I accepted, he didn't even get me a proper ring. Yeah, I'm gonna call it off tomorrow! Rofl, I love wedding rings, or wedding ring look-a-likes. Yknow, with the diamond and everything. Especially Tiffany & Co. rings hahahah, $30 000 or something? Yeah, I'm one of those people that will accept someone's hand just for the ring. (Just kiddin', I'm not that cold!) But Kerr, if you are going to get me a ring, get me a nice one, and remember my fingers bigger than average size :P

In sport, just did Japanese homework and sang with Amy because we had Miss Blake and she's too awesome to make us bask in the sun! Knock You Down is probably my fourth faovurite song of all time :)

Geography excursion tomorrow = early train = yawn yawn yawn!

→ PE Dances 2010! Thankyou Shadman for uploading! It was so much fun and everybody's dances showed all the before, after school and weekend hours put into it! Great job, guys, I enjoyed watching all of them :D
→ For those who read my blog and don't know: every year, Year 10 classes are required to make up a dance for 3-5 minutes as one of their PE assessment tasks. It has to be themed on a topic studied such as bullying, discrimination, drink driving, etc!
→ "Never wanna listen to that song ever again." Michelle after our dance, on Sorry Sorry by Super Junior LOL. The stress affiliated with it is just too much, eh :P
→ One of my favourites that I can clearly remember is Vincent/Kenny/Tracey/Christie/Manisay's group! Nathan/Kabir's group as well. Oh, and in Angela's group, the moment where Michael dances by himself as the nerd. And Alan/Aldrich's one, where Alan is the fat boy, hahah. Some people can really dance, all these hidden talents, guys! Loved watching all the dances, AND I HAD FUN DURING MY ONE! FEELIN' SO FLY LIKE A G6! ;) (SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS)

masquerade masks complete me
Masquerade bash for my 16th ftw

Chichi's given birth to a litter of 6 puppies! Yay, they're so cute and tiny. If you want to see a picture, click here! I didn't want to upload it directly here, yknow, some people just don't like seeing this sort of thing, might even offend people.. or some people will just be like, "I'll report you to RSPCA for such ugly material you gave her!" Relax, brooooooooo. There, something worthwhile to sue me for, for saying 'bro'.

Drenched some goats today! Instead of preg testing that is, so pretty alright alternative. First we had to herd them into the shed and into the pens, that didn't take too long and pretty smoothly as well. Then three at a time, we had to jump into the pens with the calibrated drenching gun, basically stand with one goat between your legs, grab the muzzle, tilt it up and steady, with another person holding the horns. Then in goes the gun and the drench into the mouth! Vivian, Michelle and I were 7th, and hence had to make our way deeper into the pen, and go into the pen with all the fiesty goats who were head butting each other with their horns. One of them scratched me, and I think Cindy was like, "Lucky you got your tetanus shot!" LOL. We got pretty pro at the end (h). By the last goat, we were holding it steady. I think Mr Schippers was just shaking his head at our first few attempts to restrain a goat. Oh well, we did it, and exitted with our shoes filthy, crap and hair and everything else. Yes, the beauty of agriculture.

Stayed back after school for dance practise! (Ty Catboy for his extensive efforts in coming, for no reason at all!) So many disagreements on what to do, my group was basically too hungry or tired to care about being in sync. So we're just gonna rock up tomorrow and do our best, I guess. How's everybody's groups? All finished by now, yeah, can't wait to see everybody's dances on tape! :)

Mufti tomorrow! Our group's just gonna come to school in our dance costume, which is basically all black. We're gonna walk around school, and look like such a gang. Yeeeeeeee.

Don't ask us for drugs.

My dog is having puppies! Yes, right at this moment, ever since 3:25PM today! The puppy count is at 4 :)

Congregation at my house today for second last possible dance rehearsal! And I am very happy to say that we have finished. Argh, getting even more sick now :L So basically, Mitchum arrived first, then Michi then Ryan then Vivian. Tuned Michelle's guitar for her, as she brought it along, and we sang to Wedding Dress, the english version :D Practise timeee. Figured out what to do, random moves here and there, a lot of jumping up and down, round and round. Basically finished then, just needed to cut our song, replace bits and pieces. So went inside to do that, which ended up being a junk food binge. Tim Tams, Kit Kats, Sakatas, snakes, Dorito's LOL. Ironic because we were watching Biggest Loser while poor Mitch tried to fix the music, or his own words 'cut the tumour out'. Vivian went through my board games and took out Mouse Trap and assembled the contraption claiming "I missed out as a child". Poor Vivian. I don't want to give much away about our props... keep you guys speculating (our dance isn't too flashy flashy flashy wow wow so not much to speculate but anyway) but now I am left with bits of glitter on my floor rofl. Schweeeet.

Everyone's talking about NRL. Sigh, can't wait till AFL season starts. 27 March, Swans v St Kilda @ ANZ! I want to gooooooooo. I want to go to any Swans AFL game actually. So many good players left/retired this year :( I really hope the Swans get Premiership this year as Paul Roos is retiring at the end of the 2010 season. Damnit, I reckon I'm going to cry when he does D:

AND 10E: PREGNANCY TESTING TOMORROW? And yes, for all you, if any, non-Hurlstone readers, that is what you guys know as shoving your hand up a cow's ass.

my new door as of 13-03-10
being sick means staying in bed and carefully cutting out letters

I am very sick.

Hence the lack of updates and the slow replies to texts and calls: I'm sorry! My head is throbbing and my voice is hurting. I am sorry to the person I promised on Formspring about the project. I just remembered about it last night before I fell asleep! I feel really bad, actually, not keeping my word. I think I'm going to have to postpone it to next Friday. Sorry, sorry. (They were never going to be that good anyway :P)

Went to school sick yesterday, just because I would feel bad staying at home for something not too serious (yet), vaccinations and SCRAM tryouts. Nearly fell asleep on the train. Vaccinations first period, yay. [/sarcasm] Vivian chose to inform me that you can get autism if you get an injection while you're sick. Thanks Vivian. But I'm too Asian to go and pay $15 at my GP so screw it, I risked autism to save fifteen bucks. So, ladies and gentlemen, I am currently a walking sickness. With a slight chance of autism. I was gonna scare the lady who gave me my shot by answering yes when she asks, "Is there any chance that you're pregnant?" but then she might get revenge and yknow, make it hurt. She put the cotton ball below my shot, so far out, blood on my dress. Yes, Alvin, I did get that wound from a victorious battle.

And I reckon the dance by Phil and Chris at assembly was indeed, EPIC. Check it out here.

In commerce, it just got worse and worse. I yelled out for Panadol and Vincent goes, "I have Panamax." So I wait for him to fetch his cheap rendition of paracetamol out of his bag, but he forgot. Faced down on textbook (yes, if you get that textbook you'll probably get my disease too), I waited and waited and stupid Vincent, "Oh. Oops! I forgot." JEES. So much to remember, isn't it, Vince? So he takes his tablets pills drugs out for me, and I ask for water. "I don't have water," Vincent responds. "THEN GET ME SOME." LOL. I was such a PMS bitch. He asked Alvin for some, Alvin's full speculating my intentions. "I'm not gonna spit in your water," I reassured him. He gave it to me. As Vincent continued to answer questions on the Court, I break my Panamaxmaxmaxy pills in half, only to have him stop me with the second one. "What are you doing?" "I'm taking my medicine." "What the- you can't swallow pills?" "No." Thought that was obvious, Vincent. So he's like, "JUST TILT YOUR HEAD BACK." Far out, I swallowed my halves with ease, and when it got his one, I kept it in my mouth because I was too scared to swallow it. The pill eventually started dissolving and I could taste it. Had no choice but to swallow. "See, wasn't so hard, was it?" Vincent asks. I was just choking. Then my head just fell to the side, and he moved his shoulder into place, hahah, yay. But then complained that he couldn't write. Bitch. (Your shoulder was kinda bumpy anyway.) Then our whole row started calling each other bitch and drew the whole class's attention to us rofl.

Thanks Vincent :)

And thankyou to Vivian, Michelle and my brother, Alan for being the best support and classmates ever. Yes, which includes reading my cards and letters and reciting them. I can see you guys are not going to cease embarrassing me. Keep it comin'! KEEP IT COMIN'! On your wedding day, Vivian, I'm going to make an announcement about your love song dedication from Santosh! All joking and public humiliation aside, thanks for helping me make it through the day.

I went home, and slept. Slept and slept. Woke up at 5:30PM and remembered I had to do Truong homework so grabbed that out of my bag, lied in bed and finished it off. Then had to get dressed. Cramps were kicking in harsh, and I could barely walk. Had to overdose on more Panadol rofl. Managed to remain upstanding, got dressed, jammed Strepsils and more Panadol into my bag. At Truongs, it was hot, then it was cold, then it was hot then it was cold and cold and cold. Thankyou Angela for taking care of me, counting down the minutes for me. For offering your cardigan to me, wrapping it around my shoulders, then asking if I would prefer it on my legs as I was wearing shorts LOL (hey, my mum said it was hot.) I survived. It was mainly revision on linear so I got out alive. Phew.

I can't make it to Kristina's party today because I'm so sick! PE dance practise tomorrow, birthday invites to make, assignments to finish. I really hate being sick, and I can't afford to be sick. Gr. And I'm not used to this. I'm hardly ever sick. FML! Okay, a bit overdramatic.

Vincent, you owe me get well soon flowers.


And Nathan, you made my day.

Your eyes are scanning the room, searching, and the look you get when you catch that person's eyes. It hits you. It's like a stop sign in the middle of a highway, a drop of rain in a harsh desert, it's like an unexpected gunshot, it's like that moment where glass breaks: the trickling sound of it, the smoothness of it shattered, the mess you've made, and you simply stare because you don't know what else to do. You stare. Flashback, and then it's gone, because they turned away.

I am sick.

Sore throat and somewhat runny nose. Sneezy. Great, no one's gonna want to sit near me tomorrow rofl, I make myself sound like a giant walking bacteria. My mum made me honey and lemon, yay! Best thing about, well the only good thing about having a sore throat, is drinking honey and lemon. Whenever I get a sore throat I think and say to myself, ".. what was it like to not have a sore throat? Why didn't I never notice it?" I don't know, doesn't make sense. But whenever my throat's normal, I don't notice how much I swallow. I can't afford to be sick now though, PE dance :(

I demand that jacket from Valleygirl and that dress from Sportsgirl. Sigh, still lusting over it.

Got to see a Smartboard in action today! Mr Gippel used it, and our whole class was literally amazed. Or pretending to be, Clare was being all cute and blonde as always. The 'magic brushes' are cool, and the star brushes are cool and the rainbow hippie one is cool, and the different markers are cool and touch screen and everything. I wanna try it out. Another reason to become a teacher, get to use a Smartboard rofl. Yes, I know, I'm sad, but you should all know by now that I have a thing for stationery. (Officeworks is such a turn on.) (I'm kidding, yknow.) (But not about the stationery thing.) (Or am I?)

I am.

On the train, spreaded 'the hate' (don't worry if you don't get it) around to Christie. Informed her of my situation, and I simply love how she reacts and how supportive she is. YOU GO, CHRISTIE! Remind me to link you, LOL. Then her and Vivian at Tempest by 5 and it smells so nice. I want some. I WANT SOME. Haven't had nice tasting chewing gum in ages. I remember when, for my birthday last year, Thomson bought me 5/6 sticks of Hubba Bubba. Thomson's cool :)

Music really does have a big big impact on my life. Every song I listen to conveys a different mood to me. I listen to songs I used to be in love with in Year 5, and I remember how I felt and what was going on around me at the time. It really is beautiful. Light Up The Sky by Yellowcard is a big one. I still love this song so much though. Mostly because of how much it reminds me of.

I want a capo. Alvin says he's gonna chip in and help me accomplish my dream. Of course I'm not going to accept that, why would I accept someone's money to help me pollute their eyes with my noob guitaring and singing? Hm? See, I AM a consider person :D

I'm rather sleepy so let's wrap this up quickly!

Michelle and I completed our Japanese assignment today, yay! Yes, that's recording us reading the manga. We did half at lunch, and half during sport (which wasn't really sport because Miss Blake, being the awesome teacher she is, asked us if we would prefer to sleep and we all agreed, so took us back to her classroom and let us do whatever we wanted to. Well, not whatever, but we are tame and well behaved :D). In the recording, you can full hear the background noise of people screaming at lunch, and then halfway through the recording, it's all silent and our voices are very prominent. I sound weird. Michelle cracked up so many times, and I stuffed up so many times LOL. Sigh. Mind you, we don't even know what we were reading, we were just sight reading the roomaji Michi had translated.

At recess, me and Michelle went to ask Miss Eun about some of the kanji we didn't understand. She was in room 22 supervising a test. Whilst we were asking her questions at the front, there were year 7 kids doing exams. Miss Eun had to check up the dictionary for one of the kanji, so I looked around and caught a boy cheating, really badly as well (don't worry, he's not one of those cute little Year 7 Asian boys that give off the 'innocent' impression so I wasn't too surprised.) He had the piece of paper under his thigh, with probably all the hiraganas he had to learn on it. I saw him, he probably felt the stare on him, and looked up. Instead of looking embarrassed, he smiled and did a peace sign, and continued to cheat. And I'm thinking.. shouldn't you stop cheating, once you're caught? I got really pissed, because we all know Miss Eun is really nice, and that's just taking advantage of her, the amount of trust she has for her students is quite high. So, I kinda stood back, looked at him to see how much more was he gonna cheat, and he kept doing it, and kept looking up at me and smiled at me. Do I look like the type to encourage cheating?! Make me feel so shifty looking, rofl, stupid kid. Afterwards, when he walked out, I kinda told him off. I don't know, probably shouldn't have done that, but I didn't raise my voice, just tried to get my point across. He just kept quiet and walked away, only muttering, "I didn't know it." Meh. He's lucky he wasn't in my Creating Connections group. If he's going to cheat on the first 15 hiraganas that he's learning, how is he gonna manage the complete 46 hiragana test? I know Japanese doesn't matter because you can stop after Year 8 but it's still a subject.

I don't know why I got so upset over that. Why don't we just blame it on the PMS and all move on!

At lunch, besides recording the Japanese assignment, played guitar at Linda's group! I like her guitar, even though it's red, rofl. AND SHE HAD A CAPO. Jinan was like, "You should perform at assembly!" and that was a revelation because the last time I talked to her, she kinda ignored me and gave me the impression that she was implying that I was stupid :(

In sport, Michelle and I just watched music videos and tried to figure out the rest of our PE dance, and which parts to cut out, what formations, how to get into those formations, levels, etc etc. Then we got sick of that, our heads overwhelmed with the thought of how much more we have to do and fix up, that we just decided to lie down in the grass and well, at first squint at the sunlight, then stare at the clouds. Then rap to Big Bang. Cos we cool like that.

Happy birthday Michelle!

Today, Michelle turned fifteen and I think I was much more excited than she was. Screaming all the way from about the maths corridor to the Year 10 noticeboard, I think I frightened her a bit with my greeting. She stood up to accept my hug though, yay, first time she's ever received my hug without hesitation :D Though our hands did touch again a couple of times today whilst walking, and that kinda freaked her out a bit.

At lunch we got Margaret and Liza to distract Michelle! Margaret took Michi to the cash register while back at the group, we stuck balloons to poles, brought the cake from the canteen, put out all the presents. We waited and waited until Michelle finally made her appearance and we full screamed, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" and then we all started singing, pretty uplifting atmosphere :) Then Michi opened her presents, the cardigan from Grace, Vivian and Christie and the Havaianas I got her (hope she liked them rofl). We had to fight off some Year 11s before we could eat our cake. And they're like, "I could just take your cake and you wouldn't even do anything." Do we look that defenseless and weak LOL.

Got results back for history! 10/10 for each of my assignments which means 30/30 overall! Finally a full mark! Vivian and Michi are so smart, always getting full and I'm always like, a 9/10 :( Purves also sprung a surprise test on us. I think I bullshitted my way through that pretty reasonably :L

Stayed back after school to practise our PE dance routine (due next Tuesday, eeep!) We got a lot done, more than I expect we would! Completing the chorus yesterday was a good idea, because now we just need to figure out things in between. Michelle, Mitchell, Vivian kinda suggested ideas for random sections of the songs, and we managed to stitch them all together and now we have around 2:10! YAY! (That includes chorus repeated). Thursday is our last practise to get moves figured out, things perfected. Then on Monday, eve of the performance, I think we're gonna stay back and make sure everything's perfect with the beat, make sure of costumes. Wow, cramming is something a high school student soon specialises in :L

And listening to Sorry Sorry by Super Junior on repeat to see if any ideas for dance moves come to mind. The things I do for you, PE.

Pet names. Either you've had one or someone have had one for you. Or you've heard lovers expressed their love via this method. It's cute, well actually, it can be cute. I must say, and I have been meaning to for a while now, I hate the names 'baby' and 'babe'. I hate it. Hate, hate, hate, hate it. Don't know why, it's just me. I know a lot of people call each other that, please don't get your boyfriend/girlfriend and come bash me. I'm not judging, I don't hate you, I hate the name. Babe. What am I, a talking pig? Thank goodness I've never been called that. Well, not seriously anyway. I just Googled pet names and went on this site here. Apparently, the most appropriate pet name for me is Cuddles Kissy-Snuggles. Eh. Can't complain, it's better than babe.

Dancing in PE today made progress to 32 seconds, which really means 1:04 as we repeat the chorus at least twice. So another 1:56 to go! I got so frustrated at one point, probably the PMS; sorry to my group. GG how Mr Wilson knows some of us are just plagiarising dances LOL. Now to figure out costumes.. I initially thought this was going to be fun but let's concur with everybody else now: can't wait till PE dance is over!

What's with the total Anti-Blazer thing going on? It's not that bad. Right? I don't know, but I reckon it looks pretty alright. Stupid Nicholas asking everyone on the train if they have one, trying to prove my opinion stupid. And people like Angela who wear blazers with normal clothes anyway, it's just a school blazer, what's the difference LOL. (And maybe my opinion will change after I have to wear it and lug it around if it gets hot. Yes I have ordered my blazer.) It'd be kinda annoying for those who haven't ordered blazers if teachers remain strict on uniform and in the end force everyone to get one. Nicholas said, "They're not gonna bother writing 30 uniform passes a day." Well, they'll do something? And if they don't then well, whatever, I'm wearing mine anyway :L If people are this worked up about blazers, maybe they should try change the summer uniform first :L

Michelle's birthday tomorrow, YAY!

I found a note on the floor next to my foot in maths in room 28 today. It said, "You still like her? HONESTLY." made me laugh, so I kept it. Makes me wonder not only who the conversation involved, but what the person in question has done. Or maybe if it's just personal matters that have led to the resentment of 'her'. But then I had to quickly resume my work on changing the subject of a formula, rofl. Maths in school is fun. Maths at Truong is scary :(

I was ranting to a friend, and this is what I was told: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. I forgot about that. But firstly, someone explain to me how does that even work?! Are you meant to hug them ten times harder or something?

I am feeling sick.

This is either from the cold I obtained from Mitchell, or from the glorious amounts of Mortein I was forced to use to defeat the cricket that invaded my room last night, while screaming "Dieeee!" and having my friend on the phone saying, "Wendy. Wendy. Wendy. NO MORE."

Tutor today was eventful. Besides me raging when Mitchell pointed out certain similarities between me and a certain someone, pretending to be School Certificate markers was actually fun. I've come to realise I'm a pretty harsh marker, Mitch and Ngoc always give C while I give D, they always give a high B when I give a low B. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, because my writing skills are quite poor and to have that sort of standard that I set for myself, would just mean allowing myself to fail myself. Does that even make sense. No? Let's move on.

I have 21 Formspring messages, biggest number of messages in inbox at one time, thanks guys :D Someone asked me to do a survey, so here it is, this is for you anonymous Formspring person!

---

a: how often do you and your significant other argue?
Well, we have minor disagreements, but most of them have been solved just over two or three days. We don't really get into 'big fights'.

b: what was the last book you read?
I attemped Rocket Boys but I barely finished the first chapter before I fell asleep.

c: do you have a pointy chin?
Nah, not at all.

d: what is the last thing that disgusted you?
Well, you know when you see a lot of things all accumulated together? Like for example, a beehive with all those holes? My knitted cardigan, I don't know, there's this hole, and one of the thread probably disappeared or something, and the wool left behind, they're all in this crease, and it's all very even and bleh, looks horrible. I still like my cardigan though :D

e: have you ever ridden on an elephant?
No.

f: do you think the earth is pretty from space?
It must be, right? Green and blue :D

g: do you know anyone named gina?
GINA LASH. But no, hahah.

h: when was the last time you felt happy?
When I was sleeping.

i: could you ever live in an igloo?
Yeah, if I had the determination and the stuff needed. And the correct clothing. And good company :D

j: do you prefer jam or marmalade?
JAM!

k: how old were you when you first were allowed to use a knife?
Well, I was never not allowed.. but I think I started using knives freely when I was around Year 3/4. I was always afraid of cutting myself.

l: do you believe walking under a ladder is bad luck?
No, but I still get that paranoia whenever I do!

m: have you ever seen maggots?
Yes.

n: are you naive?
When it comes to certain matters, yes.

o: is your pet obedient?
Nah. My dogs are very protective of my family and our house, and will continue barking incessantly no matter what. And also, they are so difficult to take on walks. They don't walk. They just sit and wait for me to take the leash off so they can run off. I love them, nevertheless.

p: how patient are you?
Generally pretty impatient. Depends on who and what I'm dealing with.

q: who is your favorite queen?
No idea.

r: what was the last racist thing that you heard?
Uh, myself LOL. Calling my mum Asian or something, it was a joke of course :L

s: was the last snake you saw poisonous?
I think so, that's why we weren't allowed to walk down that path of the bush.

t: where did you last travel to?
Church, like I do every Sunday.

u: do you know anyone who can play the ukulele?
Yeah, Troy :D

For Catboy.

z: do you know what a zinnia is?
No, but it sounds like tinea.

Went to Macarthur Square today, to birthday shop and to watch Valentine's Day! I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, it lacked a bit of depth though, and the 'surprise' element, but the way all the couples were connected was well done, and the cuteness of Valentine's Day was portrayed well. The movie reminded me that Jennifer Garner is very, very pretty and her dimples are cute too! (Nudge, nudge, Michelle.) Taylor Swift was such a bimbo, made me laugh so hard, because I kinda dislike her enough already, as beautiful as she is, hahah. I give Valentine's Day 3.5/5 :)

I dared Eric to eat one of his hot chips with wasabi. He did that with ease. It's not just the spiciness that I can't stand with wasabi, it's the flavour. It's so pungent. I really can't, I smell it and my nose wants to rip off my face and grow legs and run off. So, I dared Eric to eat his hot chips with soy sauce. He bit half his chip, inserted the little fishy soy sauce thing into his chip and squirted, which resulted in the chip turning a nice, soy sauce colour, LOL. He ate that. Then I put more soy sauce over his chips, he wouldn't eat it. So I threatened him, placing one of his chips over the mouth of his milk tea bottle. He didn't eat it so I dropped it in and then made him drink the milk tea and eat the chip. That's right :P
