twas the night before the first day of senior years.

and i'm excited! brand new books, getting to sit on chairs at assembly and new phase of our lives as students! whaaaa. a serious two years ahead of us. time to get down and dirty and study. i know im making a big deal out of this but you know me. sentimental and emotional and all kinds of expressive. but seriously guys, the work and hsc stress might make you want to pull your intestines out and wrap them around your neck, but all the other aspects of senior years are going to be fantabulous. for example, you! me! and everybody else in our grade! we're just.. so close and.. we.. we.. we love each other. that's right, i said it so you wouldn't have to. see, look at us, already making sacrifices for each other.

that was directed at hurlstonians class of 2012 because i'm making a very accurate assumption that only people of that catergory read this blog. but in the slightest chance that you are from somewhere like macquarie fields or sefton then no, i dont love you, we dont love you because you are the enemy and you dont call us 'hurlstonians', you call us 'hurlstoners' and we will kill you in the hsc.

i'm kidding. or am i?



this is what some of my books are going to look like for my first senior year! exciting, huh? you guys can see it is a big change from last year's design here! book coverings are a huge deal to me. to be honest with you, i already dislike one subject because i have to put up with the few bubble/air pockets at the back of the book. the colours and design of the paper will also dictate how much i enjoy the subject for the few beginning weeks of the year, until the actual course itself decides my true feelings for the subject. i'm a synesthete like that. you gangsters got nothin' on me (h)



anyway, i wrapped a book for music then realised i bought a music book. ngh. it seemed as if 2012 has reached me in my lounge room before a lightbulb cracked and i launched operation: give my book an operation!






it's not absolutely perfect but that's not my fault. i never had the game operation as a kid. my mum would buy me 1000 piece puzzles. that's what us asian kids got, see? i never got fun games. i got puzzles to "enhance my knowledge". oh yeah. about that. im conforming and taking chemistry. because i thought about it and knew i was going to drop ag in year 12 anyway. that was a definite. why not take chem as my 13th/14th units this year, then see how bad it actually is? warning this blog will increase in profanities directed at the studies of chemistry. im taking chemistry and i dont go peak. might as well suicide now. i need a chem tutor. preferably one on one, to be honest. any of you guys interested? because i know if your knowledge of science was in liquid form, it would overflow my cup. actually. no it wouldnt. because my science cup of knowledge has a hole in it and whatever you pour into my cup, it would leak and. well, you get me. enough of my embarrassing analogies. embarrassing or hilarious? they're embarrassing, shut up wendy.




that is the t41 set i got mother wendzilla from t2 on australia day! went into the shop and knew my mum would love it so bought it for her for no reason. cos i'm a good little asian girl. look how awesome the wrapping was. and it was free. free! good little asian girl liked the sound of that. i walked into t2 and the lady offers me some ginger lemon lime black tea thing and i thought that sounded nice so i took a sample and nearly wanted to extract my oesophagus. disgusting. i'll stick to my black milk tea, thanks. poured the remainder of my tea into eric's cup hehe.



went to the aquarium! brought out the annoying-little-kid inside of me. my favourite would be the cuttlefish and the dugongs. dugongs. i love dugongs. they float around and they're just like, "i. am. a dugong." oh yeah, i was walking around and impersonating all the sea creatures in the aquarium and adjusting my pitch and tone to how i think they would sound if they could talk. i think eric wanted to slap me after a while.




then i stuck a glittery australian flag sticker on eric, made him pin a 20cm "proudly australian" badge on his bag and made him pose with the free flag we got from the information stand. whoooooooo.

you know the thing a lot of guys do when you ask them to pose? they full tense their jaw muscles and resist the urge to smile. i'm like, "say cheese" and they're all like "*grunts* i'm a man". next time im gonna give them some laughing cow. who doesn't like laughing cow. and then they better smile for me or i'm going to kick some ass. anyway. moral of the story is i yelled at eric and told him to smile and that's what i got. eric says he doesn't know how to smile for photos. he just shy.

i'm looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow! i'll end this blog post with a minute of silence in honour of the suffering i've been through and inflicted upon myself in the past 6 weeks of the summer holidays:

- getting a splinter from wooden chopsticks
- bruising my leg by walking into the coffee table
- whacking my arm against the doorknob
- trying to scratch my back and actually scratching it
- sleeping on the side of my face, with my ear folded in half for the whole night and having a numb ear for the rest of the day
- slipping in the shower and falling backwards
- eating a chicken chip that was too hot and not knowing that that had caused some damage to the part of my gums between my two rabbit teeth and brushing my teeth really hard there resulting in bleeding and pain till right now

see you tomorrow :)

holy tofu blocks. have i been on hiatus or what?! i hope everybody's been enjoying their last week of holidays. new pens, new books, contacting books-- the best part of any new school year. then there's the boring stuff like buying our new senior uniform (which i still have to do, oops) and buying new school shoes. i bought my school shoes today after 2 weeks of procrastination. i hate shoe shopping. yeah, i said it. shoe shopping sucks. any kind of shoe shopping. basically because my left foot is bigger than my right and they are both ridiculously wide and out of proportion. a size 8 means too much space around my toes but a size 7 would mean not even being able to get my foot into the actual shoe. -nghhhhhhh-

australia day tomorrow. i am totally prepared, man. a huge 20cm badge that exhibits my patriotism and some australian flag glitter stickers, whoooooo! [/loser] i read an article in the australian 24-01-11 stating how australia day has become a day of painfully conforming to aussie stereotypes rather than celebrating who we are and our values as a nation. that article did make me contemplate certain things. but what's the point in sitting at home, scrolling through wikipedia and improving your knowledge of our history on australia day? go outside and parade your embarrassing australian stickers, people! stupid smart people trying to be all smart. i shouldnt really be talking though because im watching play school.

basking in the vicinity of my glorious air conditioner could probably sum up the past week well. I've been getting terribly lazy due to this heat. On another note, being 16 sucks. why do I have to pay double for everything now? according to the lady at Michael hill, I only look 13. thanks. Reminds me of that guy that stalked me when I was walking to Fairfield station. "hello beautiful girl," he slurred. I quickly shuffled forward and turned a corner. Halfway up that new street, I heard his voice again. "where are you going?" damn pedophile. I gave him an evil in my fully clothed body and raised my eyebrows at him and watch him walk away. not only was he going to rape me, he established I was a child before doing so and making his crime all that more severe. why are some men so dumb these days.

never walking to the station alone again, though.

nerded it up yesterday. library crew reunites once again. used genevieve's camera and i love how well it auto focuses and all that jazz. just look at the photos of those cards-- skill, and im not just talkin' about the photo. look at that hovering diamond suit card. bon appétit or what. -insert technical terms-. i dont deserve an eos though. then eugene comes along and accuses me of having a 'tumblr lust', the hell's that, alright, i just like being able to capture close up details because my stupid 5mp camera phone can't and macro is a bit premenstrual syndromic and never actually works! *pouts* of course i didnt get much done (simon's presence means playing 'bullshit' and 13. no questions. we had to go and buy cards, went into some asian bargain shop that had basically the same type of cards but one shelf was labelled $1 on the cases, one was labelled $3. so what did we do? we do illegal. we swap the cases and the shopkeeper was on the phone so didnt really pay much attention. score!) but i did feel like i deserve to go out for the second time these holidays = city!

mitchell, michelle, liza, vanessa, eric and i all trekked to the city today wondering what our purpose was. 50% of the time was spent walking up and down pitt and georges then back to pitt just deciding what the hell we wanted to do. qvb was first with starbucks and kikki-k on the agenda. i didnt buy anything of course, too poor. actually, no one bought anything except for vanessa because she works now and can spend money on herself. eric and mitchell are such lovely males, not saying a single word when being dragged through missha or the beauty department of myer.

general pants was fun. found a book full of pick up lines. i want it.









of course we made it all up to them when we went to the apple store, haha. well who doesn't love the apple store? eric's like, "my brother said he's gonna work here so ill get all this cool stuff for free." fine. be a bitch. go get all the apple stuff you want, i'll just sit here and be a pc. no wonder you have no friends.







went to world square with intentions to eat at sushi roll but it was lunchtime and of course, crowded and the lady serving us was kinda annoyed that we were such a big group that wanted to sit at the train, all together. rude lady. of course we didnt get that kind of service at sushi rio! love the atmosphere there. i dont know if it's normal for sushi train workers to scream out random things at each other and then have the rest of the kitchen workers chime in but that certainly added some sort of spice to my soy sauce. i wanted to try as many dishes as possible so i asked eric to split with me. each place had about two serves anyway, so in the end, our stacks of plate reached 7 (6x$3, 1x$3.50), whilst michi only had 3, mitch only had 4. (eric, why so fat for!) it was happy hour so altogether, it only costed us $21.50 :D capitol next, where we fed our inner asian. i lost $1? poor mitchell. stupid toys, so cute.









then we kinda split between market city and chinatown. or that little road that has chinese stuff in it, apparently that's not the "real chinatown" rofl. whatever. i spied fish sauce there, as chinese as any chinatown. i always have adventures in that three storey morning glory. turned the corner and found a 7-eleven! finally! lemon lime bitter slurpees! and they're having some promo now that says you have a 1 in 6 chance of winning a free cup. eric, mitchell, vanessa and i all got rejected when we peeled the sticker off our cups. michelle's cup, however, "free slurpee! congratulations, redeem before 07/03/2010". oh i was just destined to not win. anything.

i was so hyped up over the idea of karaoke but we realised we had to walk all. the. way. back. to. pitt. luckily i spotted some random one, "show karaoke" and it looked clean of herpes enough for us to go up and check. the one we wanted to go to was $5 per person for an hour. the guy at this one was like, "$20" and i got a bit of a heart attack. but then i heard wrong, $20 for the room for all of us! we had 6 people, so we technically saved $10! i only ended up paying $3.50, yeeee, new favourite karaoke hub. (thanks eric for buying me some earplugs.) the room next door to us were singing really loud so whatever song they were singing, we'd pick it and start singing hahaha. sang a lot of kpop, twas good watching mitchell actually rocking out and dancing to the songs! :3 great day out! thanks eric, vv, michi, liza and mitch!

stop, drop and roll, baby because you're on fire!

yeah, that's basically what i got out of today. memorising pick up lines out of that pick up lines book. plagiarism? i think so. "all my own work" just kinda went to waste.

Labels: city, holidays

the summer holidays are always the best and worst for me. pro: it's 6 weeks. con: i lie back and do nothing because i know it's 6 weeks and i have "plenty" of time to go out and in the end, ending up doing not even half as much as i would have done in a 2 week holiday. and now truong resumes in 3 days, my eyebrows are still existing without any sort of maintenance and i had a dream about being forced to go to pal college last night. yup. livin' the life. well to be fair, i've been on mini shopping sprees.

and mini refund-stuff-sprees.

went coogee beach on sunday with my church despite the predictions that it was going to rain: no thanks to you, tim bailey! (and stupid george negus, pushing the simpsons over to channel he11o. i like the simpsons on channel 10, keep with the tradition grr. brought along my ukulele, ate some steak like a man, got some epic tan circles on my back. oh yeah and i also got stung by bluebottles! gosh, it hurted like a bitch. it stings and then it gets all numb and tingly and the lifesaver comes and tells me, "if you get stung, just come to us and we'll give you some ice" and walks away before i can ask for any. so i run back up to my little shelter thing and shove my leg in the esky next to the bag of ice. dont get too excited, my mum complained that i was ruining the day for everyone else so i had to be resourceful and use my hands as makeshift icepacks. lucky for lifesaving knowledge. twas sexy. and that's my dad. i got my dimples from him. i got it from my papa. i got it from papa. tell me where you got yo body from. [/gangsterness]

went officeworks today! anybody bothered to read my twitter/facebook would know but ill state it here anyway. there was a sale on christmas stock. with $2.10, you can buy 5m of "xmas raping paper". hehehe. i am so mature. no, i did not get myselfe any raping paper. i finally managed to get 128 page books that were not binder! yaaay! officeworks always run out of normal exercise books. wasnt sure what to get for music so ill just get a separate manuscript book. now to think of how to cover my books. nuuuuuuu. too much work for my brain.

going to go put my friends dvds on. some webcam shots of me from last year. oh of course you can enjoy them. ta-ta for now!

before i delve into establishing any goals for myself that i know i wont be able to achieve (that's the new year attitude, wendy, right on!), let's take a walk through my archives and dig out my resolutions for 2010 and see how i went.

☒ to keep all my resolutions
im going to be a genie and predict that i did not keep this one.

☒ realise just because exam and cram rhyme, doesnt mean they relate to each other, so hence write notes after a topic is finished in class!
well i did realise they dont correlate, but writing notes after a topic did not happen. it happened in term 1 but then for the rest of the year my notes book kinda went on vacation. considering it's my preliminary year, i think i gotta focus on this one.

☒ be nicer: no unnecessary bitching, shout more people food (this could backfire), remember more people's birthdays, bake more cakes, bake more cupcakes, see the good intentions.
i have become a better person, but there is still so much more room for improvement. a 45 year old woman wants me to become her piano tutor and that night, i lied in bed thinking up theories of why. one was because she was a secret reporter for today tonight and she's going to expose what a scam i am. but im qualified. then i got really sad. exactly. i need to see the good intentions in people more!


☑ study harder, study properly: 90 minutes of piano every day, homework and assignments to be started promptly.
assignments were done okay, i guess. i started them but then left a large chunk of it to at least three days before it's due. the whole moodle system kinda pissed me off and i spent more of my time cursing moodle than focusing on my work. and i remember hardcoring it at the library in the holidays! good job guys :)

☑ agriculture is a subject too: over 80% for all subjects in half yearlies!
achieved! well.. freaking science, only subject below 80% :( 77% in science.. but that doesnt count because i will never do well in science so im giving myself a tick. take that, science!

☒ realise the internet is not a necessity so hence, weening myself off it! 90 minutes of internet a day maximum.
seriously. as if. hehe.

☒ at least 600ml of water every day: im starting to get convinced that my body functions on sugar.
okay, well i drank at least 300ml (half a bottle) every night before going to sleep. i tricked myself into doing that by placing a bottle on my bedside table. and when you're in bed and awake and have nothing to do, you do anything you can within your reach. which is drink water, you dirty minded people.

---

a new year. a new leaf. a new list that will remind me of what a failure i am for next year. let's go:

✰ above 85% for all subjects by completing assignments promptly and writing notes efficiently. it's year 11, if you're asian and you dont aim high, you might as well go back to the rice fields. right, simon?
✰ make beneficial changes and improvements as an src executive.
✰ practise piano for at least 30 minutes everyday.
✰ go out after school/on weekends only three times every fortnight. this includes visiting cabramatta for food. this is going to kill me, ach! food is friend :(
✰ okay, well, while we're on the subject of food, lose 5kg before informal. kill me now
✰ stop hoarding everything and regarding them all as sentimental. this will in turn decrease my "crazy cat woman" levels.

that was hard work. i think it's time i treat myself to some online window shopping.



TFNC sequin embellished dress with cut out back
my favourite colour and my favourite element. too good for words ajerhwekjhtwe



minkpink all over two tone sequin shift dress



nom de plume yay slasher dress



asos asymmetric corset maxi dress
i dont care if formal is over. i still want it. just to touch and feel and hug to sleep.

(and stupid george negus, pushing the simpsons over to channel he11o. i like the simpsons on channel 10, keep with the tradition grr. brought along my ukulele, ate some steak like a man, got some epic tan circles on my back. oh yeah and i also got stung by bluebottles! gosh, it hurted like a bitch. it stings and then it gets all numb and tingly and the lifesaver comes and tells me, "if you get stung, just come to us and we'll give you some ice" and walks away before i can ask for any. so i run back up to my little shelter thing and shove my leg in the esky next to the bag of ice. dont get too excited, my mum complained that i was ruining the day for everyone else so i had to be resourceful and use my hands as makeshift icepacks. lucky for lifesaving knowledge. twas sexy. and that's my dad. i got my dimples from him. i got it from my papa. i got it from papa. tell me where you got yo body from. [/gangsterness]

went officeworks today! anybody bothered to read my twitter/facebook would know but ill state it here anyway. there was a sale on christmas stock. with $2.10, you can buy 5m of "xmas raping paper". hehehe. i am so mature. no, i did not get myselfe any raping paper. i finally managed to get 128 page books that were not binder! yaaay! officeworks always run out of normal exercise books. wasnt sure what to get for music so ill just get a separate manuscript book. now to think of how to cover my books. nuuuuuuu. too much work for my brain.

going to go put my friends dvds on. some webcam shots of me from last year. oh of course you can enjoy them. ta-ta for now!

before i delve into establishing any goals for myself that i know i wont be able to achieve (that's the new year attitude, wendy, right on!), let's take a walk through my archives and dig out my resolutions for 2010 and see how i went.

☒ to keep all my resolutions
im going to be a genie and predict that i did not keep this one.

☒ realise just because exam and cram rhyme, doesnt mean they relate to each other, so hence write notes after a topic is finished in class!
well i did realise they dont correlate, but writing notes after a topic did not happen. it happened in term 1 but then for the rest of the year my notes book kinda went on vacation. considering it's my preliminary year, i think i gotta focus on this one.

☒ be nicer: no unnecessary bitching, shout more people food (this could backfire), remember more people's birthdays, bake more cakes, bake more cupcakes, see the good intentions.
i have become a better person, but there is still so much more room for improvement. a 45 year old woman wants me to become her piano tutor and that night, i lied in bed thinking up theories of why. one was because she was a secret reporter for today tonight and she's going to expose what a scam i am. but im qualified. then i got really sad. exactly. i need to see the good intentions in people more!


☑ study harder, study properly: 90 minutes of piano every day, homework and assignments to be started promptly.
assignments were done okay, i guess. i started them but then left a large chunk of it to at least three days before it's due. the whole moodle system kinda pissed me off and i spent more of my time cursing moodle than focusing on my work. and i remember hardcoring it at the library in the holidays! good job guys :)

☑ agriculture is a subject too: over 80% for all subjects in half yearlies!
achieved! well.. freaking science, only subject below 80% :( 77% in science.. but that doesnt count because i will never do well in science so im giving myself a tick. take that, science!

☒ realise the internet is not a necessity so hence, weening myself off it! 90 minutes of internet a day maximum.
seriously. as if. hehe.

☒ at least 600ml of water every day: im starting to get convinced that my body functions on sugar.
okay, well i drank at least 300ml (half a bottle) every night before going to sleep. i tricked myself into doing that by placing a bottle on my bedside table. and when you're in bed and awake and have nothing to do, you do anything you can within your reach. which is drink water, you dirty minded people.

---

a new year. a new leaf. a new list that will remind me of what a failure i am for next year. let's go:

✰ above 85% for all subjects by completing assignments promptly and writing notes efficiently. it's year 11, if you're asian and you dont aim high, you might as well go back to the rice fields. right, simon?
✰ make beneficial changes and improvements as an src executive.
✰ practise piano for at least 30 minutes everyday.
✰ go out after school/on weekends only three times every fortnight. this includes visiting cabramatta for food. this is going to kill me, ach! food is friend :(
✰ okay, well, while we're on the subject of food, lose 5kg before informal. kill me now
✰ stop hoarding everything and regarding them all as sentimental. this will in turn decrease my "crazy cat woman" levels.

that was hard work. i think it's time i treat myself to some online window shopping.
