happy 16th birthday geneboob! i've known you for 6 years now and i can honestly say you've stayed true to yourself and to all those around you. saturdays with you and grace are lovely and i only hope to become closer with you. hope you had a wonderful day, g!

yesterday, received my first half yearly mark and ranking that i am ecstatic with! english, you are my best friend. the blood that runs through my veins. the tiny, nearly invisible hairs above my upper lip. now you're all gonna look there next time you see me. *flares nostrils* i cannot believe it. when we had to go and collect our creative writing marks from our teacher, i had all fingers crossed. it worked. my creative mark alone was astonishing to me. i did not even finish my story. i was hugging it and could not stop smiling. i think i came off as a complete bitch but i was just really, really, really shocked! since when did i do well in creative writing, you know?! essays, analytical pieces, short answers can save my soul but never would i dare place any trust on my creative pieces. then we had to go and get our ranking slips and to be completely honest with you, and i'm speaking pull-out-my-intestines-and-lay-them-flat-across-your-desk-honest, i wanted to be in the top 50. and that was all. all my other rankings have disappointed me to no end and i did not have it in me to expect a high two digit ranking. when i first got my ranking back, the forward slash in the ranking (e.g. ???/???) made it look like there was a 7 in my rank. and i was like, "yeah, alright!" until danica took my slip and was congratulating me. took it back and stood still, shocked. it was possibly the best moment in my academic life. i had tears in my eyes. and i'm going to work hard and try and get somewhere nearer to that ranking in my other subjects.

any year 10 peeps who read my blog: pick subjects you're good at. please. don't try go for chem if you're an english orientated student. it's a mistake. your results will show it and you'll regret it like me. i took it simply because of guilt. i mean, you can get good results in subjects you generally dont perform well in but you'd have to put it a great amount of effort and why bother when you can just pick subjects from the faculties of your strength!

second round of premier's debating challenge today against camden high school. the topic was that we should prosecute ceo's of companies responsible for environmental accidents. went into the prep room, heart drumming away in my chest! had no idea what to talk about. luckily, amy, veronica and stephen all helped me to calm myself down and come up with ideas. and i somehow stretched my speech to 8:08. not seconds, minutes. yes, i did it. yes, we won! i spoke for longer than 8 minutes! yahoo! i remember those days in year 5 debating where i'd speak for 2 minutes and that'd seem like something worth comparing to neil armstrong's first steps on the moon. i am progressively becoming better as a public speaker and can't wait till round 3 where hurlstone a will be up against hurlstone b! hopefully we get some of you guys in our audience, hehehe, it eel be greeeeeeeet! [/weird accent that i do not know where from]

thankyou to eric for coming to see me even if class ends so late! and buying me food, hehehe. even if it was the smallest size box of chips. jees. why so cheap. kidding, honey! people give me a tic-tac and i can't stop smiling. food is the key to my soul. sometimes i wonder why i'm not tied up in a pedophile's white van somewhere.

i know i've kinda been slacking off on my blog. few years ago where i'd blog every single day. too many assessment tasks. and major integration exam at truong this week, eeeeeep! but i've been getting a lot of formspring messages lately! thankyou to each and every reader and every message leaver, it really puts the cherry on top of my day sometimes. hope you guys are all well, don't eat sick people's germs in the air and put yo gum boots on! ta-ta, my dears!

i am grateful that the teachers decided to organise a camp for us. however, i think it was an utter waste of time and money to travel all the way to broken bay to talk about drugs and sex in 3 hour long sessions where the instructors assume that 1) you do drugs and 2) all the people you know do drugs. night time activity of watching the state of origin may have appealed heavily to the boys and nrl fans in particular, but being a female afl fan, i was severely let down. at least we watched the big bang theory before the game, teehe. bonding time with my large group of friends, winning trivia night and being introduced to the game 'mafia' are definite highlights.

fortunately, there was some humanity in the program that was painfully inflicted on us and we did get to choose one activity to do. archery and fishing, rockclimbing, high ropes and abseiling! i realised that throughout my past 8 years of school camping, i have been too chicken to undertake abseiling and so i thought this year would be the year i cross that off my to do list! the trek up the mountain was so tiring which can explain my weight loss after the camp. everyone knows the first few steps off the cliff is the only scary thing about abseiling. the rest, pretty much just freestylin' it through. i abseiled with michelle and she went first so she was waiting at the bottom for me to come down before we take some unknown part back up. the only directions we got from the instructor was that, "you'll know the path when you get down there. and you'll pass some golden caves on the way." k. k, cool.

so being defenseless little asian girls at the bottom of a cliff, we hurriedly found the path. we were actually faced with a crossroad (oh, the irony. crossroads camp. geddit? i'm so funny, you just dont get it.) there were two paths that we could make out from the dirt. one seemed more used than the other leading upwards and one seemed more distinctive as a path but lead downwards. logic came into play and we picked the path that went upwards because we wanted to get back up. right? right. half way in the path, we got lost. too many dried leaves, too many rocks, too many ferns, bushes and shrubs and the only hope of getting to the top safely meant getting onto our hands and knees. it surprised me that no dingoes came along and mistook us for wild forest pigs. when we reached flat ground which was half way, we stood up and looked down. the other path was visible and was laughing at us. hardee har har. here we were, animals-in-the-wilding up the cliff when we could have easily strolled it without the risk of becoming prey. reached the top safely, thanks for asking.

the adventures of wendy. i conquered that task fearlessly and was not hurt or attacked. however, i do have one scar from camp on the side of my thumb. from the zipper on my tracksuit pants. ngh.

sorry to everyone for the extreme cockiness that we displayed when we won trivia night. it was more of a rebellious action directed towards the teachers for not letting us have a disco rofl. but still. long live the magpies! awwww yeah, magpies yeah! caw caw!



gotta go and finish homework! expect a blog in the next two days, faithful readers! ♥

walked out, closed the back door of my house this morning and then it hit me: i looked like little red riding hood.

i've been overusing red lately. today meant a red beret, red cardigan, tiny red flowers on my black chiffon dress, slightly red lips and perfume from a bottle with a red cap. dont raise your eyebrows at me, it's the weather. red always makes me feel hot and humid, but in this wintry weather, it's kinda perfect (i've been told elizabeth arden's red door is classified as 'old people's perfume'? can somebody clear this up so i can reclaim my age as a young adult?). things didn't get much better when angela decided she wanted to buy new lipstick and chose russian red by mac. i want it now. even if it does look like a tampon. i usually have no interest in make up because i know nothing about make up and hardly use it but red lipstick. anytime. anywhere. my red nivea lip balm that gives my lips that natural-red-lipstick-look is quickly running out and nivea doesn't produce them anymore, nghhhh. but $36 for a lipstick. really, wendy? really? shut up, logical wendy, you're the reason i always fail multiple choice questions-- too many c's, huh?!?!

congratulations eric on your first dunk in a game today :)

the camp excitement has finally hit me! as i'm coughing and breathing loudly through my mouth, my mind finally grasps what exactly it is i will be doing tomorrow. travelling on a ferry (dont worry, i bought new travel sickness pills today). to camp on an island. with the best group of people ever. of course i'm referring to all of you, class of 2012. however, i already feel tension rising between the day activity groups. that's not the way we should be approaching our final camp, let's just all accept that the seahorses are the most awesome. deal? deal. see, that was easy and now everybody's happy. looking forward to all the d&ms that happens every year within cabins and especially this year-- 22 people cabins. we gon raise the roof, ya'll!

dont know if i should bring my camera. taking photos kinda makes me feel busy and occupied all the time. and im always paranoid i've left it at the last activity or some dingo had come and mauled it out of my bag. but since it's our last camp, i think i will! cheeeeese!

this camp could not have been planned at a better time. i know i need this camp to take away all that disappointment of my half yearly marks and to give me a break just so i can recover and get back into it afterwards. though i can't say the same for my sickness. why. why now. i hate you, disease-invading-germs. come on, wendy-cells! fight fight fight! was singing in the shower this morning as i always do, and i could not reach any of the high notes. it cut me deep. my voice is nearly gone. let's see if it gets better tomorrow. see you all at 7am, sweethearts! and to all my non-hurlstonian readers: *places arms around your body but so we're not touching so you dont get my disease* i'll see you soon! no reception at all at broken bay so if anything happens i'll send you all smoke signals, make sure you keep your eyes on the sky for the next few days! thank you for reading! :3

camp is just around the corner, ya'll! are we all hyped? unfortunately the pre-camp excitement is still to hit me and i conclude that it is due to my hatred towards packing. seems like everyone's making trips to kmart and big w to stack up on cheap clothing that they are willing to sacrifice at camp. i managed to score 50c canvas shoes yesterday and i know that after posting that information on facebook, there are now wars between my friends as to who can get to kmart first today to grab the few last pairs that may still be marked as 50c. i wished them luck. i'm such a peacemaker.

premier's debating challenge first round on tuesday and we won! my regional grand finalist team has been split up into two teams this year as the english teachers decided to create two year 11 teams. the topic was "that parents should not send their children to coaching colleges" and kabir, stephen, margaret and i were pumping our fists screaming in our heads, "yeah! we got this!" as this topic was so close to heart for all of us. coin was flipped and hurlstone was assigned negative. crap. here we are, disgracing our asian generation of those who wished coaching colleges and tutoring would cease to exist! stephen found it so difficult to argue that parents should send their children to tutoring that for the first ten minutes in the prep room, he sat there frustrated. he and i had many heated discussions in the prep room as he somehow later deduced that students + coaching colleges = depression = sex, drugs and alcohol. to stop myself from losing my temper at him further, i started eating my spring rolls. yum yum yum, note to self: bring more food into prep room next time. the mock trial team also had their round 3 on that day but i had to ditch them to go and debate! lucky i was assigned as reserve for that mock trial round. hope mock trial and debating don't ever clash again, hmph.

in music, we had miss ross (the new english teacher) as our sub. jenny and i were singing and she came along and started jamming with us! she has a great voice and so we taught each other chords and had a lot of fun, actually. it's weird because i'm usually super awkward around teachers. that's like a few music lessons ago when i was sitting outside singing because alex was drumming inside and anna was practising one of her crazy-finger-falling-off pieces and mr butler and mr wilson came up to me as they waited for their class to finish changing for pe and asked me to sing them something. i defiantly said no. but they defiantly kept staring. and it's really weird when people stare at you with their sunglasses on. where exactly are your eyeballs at? so i sang for them and mr butler started tapping his thighs or whatever and after i finished, mr wilson said, "oh. i'm actually impressed." in the most monotonous tone you could ever imagine. thanks, sir. thanks.

こんにちは! i trust that you all are having a pleasant saturday afternoon and looking forward to a cosy evening, warm and rugged up. the past week has seen me in gigantic scarves, gloves, fuzzy boots and last night was absolutely wonderful when i reacquainted myself with my dear old friend, mr. hot water bottle. winter is lovely but the thought of getting back to routine and having to wake up early for morning class and staying till dark for afternoon classes does make me shiver. the weather being hideously cold lately has also made me need to go to the bathroom more. and that is inconvenient. i'm sure the scientific explanation for that can be found in my archives; my fingers are starting to freeze up already, begging me to finish this post and go hold a bowl of warm chicken and corn soup!

exam results so far have been very disappointing to say the least. it doesn't meet my expectations nor does it meet any standard held by the classes i am in. thank goodness it is only preliminary half yearlies; i have one more chance in the yearlies before really taking it up a few notches to work extremely hard in 2012, along with assessment tasks that will start popping up now. i've never felt so motivated to study and do well! i hope all your results have been in your favour and if it hasn't, don't dwell on it for too long-- learn from it and improve! if anything, use it as an excuse to buy new stationery. new stationery motivates me, hehe. i would also like to thank eric for checking up on my persistently after i got my results and exhibited signs of suicidal behaviour, cancelling on an outing with his friends just to stay home and hear me mope. best fwen.

i was running my fingers through my hair a few days ago and a strand got caught between my fingers that i thought looked ridiculously long. i pulled out my ruler (from my ruler holster that i wear around my pants) and measured it. 67cm. i was proud for a flicker of a second, then i got a bit scared.

camp soon! the bonding that happens every time for me is extraordinary but the horror of packing has dawned on me and i am procrastinating. like i do before every camp. the idea of being isolated on an island and away from civilisation just makes me that much more anxious to pack everything i have in my wardrobe and end up wearing two of the shirts that i actually like for the whole camp period. what kind of clothes to bring? i hear there's gonna be a disco. i'll turn in my jammies. the party don't start till i walk in, brothers.

YO DAWG. Nah, only kidding.
Ello, readers :)
As you can see from the title, I am guest starring in the wonderful blog "Blase: Wendzilla."
Let's see..FACT OF THE DAY: Bananas are herbs, whilst tomatoes are actually fruits. (Provided by HAHS school diary)
Anyways, to a more serious topic.
Do you guys ever get the unnecessary, and unecessarily post-awkward emotion of delightfulness when your pee is clear? No? Really, no?
Well, it's not me that's weird then, it's you. But seriously, it's not that I have a fetish for anything like that, it's just that you gain the satisfaction that you have been drinking sufficient amounts of water to the point where your body has been decently cleansed. Chyeah. I'm sure there's bound to be someone who can relate to this LOL.

Enough of my blabbering about, I think it's time for me to sleep so I can be conscious during my pe exam. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Sorry if I have disturbed any of your minds.
P.S.S. Seriously, though, try it (:D)



P.S.S. LISTEN TO THIS SONG LOL. (it's so good, hehe)

howdy ho! i hope everybody been's having a great start to term 2 and that year 11s, you are coping with exams! i love this freedom that comes with being a senior, being able to run away after you finish your exam. all that studying throughout the holidays really did help me; instead of cramming, i revised the night before each of my exams. don't take me wrong, of course i stressed and had breakdowns and episodes and thoughts of wanting to cut my toes off but i survived. still alive. wendz still zillaing.

quick recap: had 5 more words to write to finish short story in adv eng but time ran out, left out the last question in math paper because i didnt see it (cry cry cry, that's about 50 rankings i've dropped), made my english ext story more horror than gothic and forgot what hoffman voltameter was called in chemistry and called it "tubes". anybody wanna swap half yearly reports?

legal studies today was a bit of a bitch. i learnt all the pernickety little definitions and crammed content on native title and abortion as mr lynch instructed us to. guess what? none of it was even needed. firstly, the definitions didn't really matter because he decides to put 4 marker questions on sources of international law, on appelate jurisdiction and on common law vs civil law-- did i study that? no. luckily enough i have earwax dressed up as policemen in my right ear so information i learn in class runs through my left ear and as it is about to whisk away through my right ear, it is handcuffed and brought back into gaol cells in my brain. i had to mentally sort through all the prisoners in the "useless" faculty before i found it. and that is legal.

went liverpool with monica afterwards. monica was looking for some perfume after working hard over the easter long weekend and saving up enough, so that gave me a good excuse to wonder through myer's perfume section. are they renovating? the miss shop/tokito department is completely gone or has been moved somewhere, now replaced with the beauty department. ah well, got sprayed and sprayed myself with a million perfumes. the skin surface area available on my arms were taken up by different pumps of whatever they were, all swirling and mingling together creating a concoction that would have collided with your nose hairs and blown up your noses. also, i must try something from sumo salad next time i go!



monica bought a skirt, a cookbook and perfume. and that is what i got. chocolate. not even for me, for my sister cos she loves chocolate. but i had a good reason: it was on sale. $5 a box from priceline. well, on my receipt it says the 300g ferrero rocher box was originally $17 and the lindt box was supposed to be $12. fear me.

went back to cabramatta after that, bumped into liza and lisa who were returning from lunch and heading towards library to study! why do all my friends have nice clothes? lusting over booties for winter and a side satchel for school at the moment. kmart has pretty decent ones, quality unknown but i might go tomorrow and get a black suede pair of boots for $12, heh. anyway, back to the point, then went to the library, eric came and first thing i did was make him sniff all the different spots on my forearms. fun fun fun. so much fun it almost feels like friday.

best of luck to everyone with exams tomorrow and/or friday! see all biology and music kids on monday and tuesday, dun dun dun! and see you all soon, readers, thank you for your time :)

exam results so far have been very disappointing to say the least. it doesn't meet my expectations nor does it meet any standard held by the classes i am in. thank goodness it is only preliminary half yearlies; i have one more chance in the yearlies before really taking it up a few notches to work extremely hard in 2012, along with assessment tasks that will start popping up now. i've never felt so motivated to study and do well! i hope all your results have been in your favour and if it hasn't, don't dwell on it for too long-- learn from it and improve! if anything, use it as an excuse to buy new stationery. new stationery motivates me, hehe. i would also like to thank eric for checking up on my persistently after i got my results and exhibited signs of suicidal behaviour, cancelling on an outing with his friends just to stay home and hear me mope. best fwen.

i was running my fingers through my hair a few days ago and a strand got caught between my fingers that i thought looked ridiculously long. i pulled out my ruler (from my ruler holster that i wear around my pants) and measured it. 67cm. i was proud for a flicker of a second, then i got a bit scared.

camp soon! the bonding that happens every time for me is extraordinary but the horror of packing has dawned on me and i am procrastinating. like i do before every camp. the idea of being isolated on an island and away from civilisation just makes me that much more anxious to pack everything i have in my wardrobe and end up wearing two of the shirts that i actually like for the whole camp period. what kind of clothes to bring? i hear there's gonna be a disco. i'll turn in my jammies. the party don't start till i walk in, brothers.

YO DAWG. Nah, only kidding.
Ello, readers :)
As you can see from the title, I am guest starring in the wonderful blog "Blase: Wendzilla."
Let's see..FACT OF THE DAY: Bananas are herbs, whilst tomatoes are actually fruits. (Provided by HAHS school diary)
Anyways, to a more serious topic.
Do you guys ever get the unnecessary, and unecessarily post-awkward emotion of delightfulness when your pee is clear? No? Really, no?
Well, it's not me that's weird then, it's you. But seriously, it's not that I have a fetish for anything like that, it's just that you gain the satisfaction that you have been drinking sufficient amounts of water to the point where your body has been decently cleansed. Chyeah. I'm sure there's bound to be someone who can relate to this LOL.

Enough of my blabbering about, I think it's time for me to sleep so I can be conscious during my pe exam. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Sorry if I have disturbed any of your minds.
P.S.S. Seriously, though, try it (:D)



P.S.S. LISTEN TO THIS SONG LOL. (it's so good, hehe)

howdy ho! i hope everybody been's having a great start to term 2 and that year 11s, you are coping with exams! i love this freedom that comes with being a senior, being able to run away after you finish your exam. all that studying throughout the holidays really did help me; instead of cramming, i revised the night before each of my exams. don't take me wrong, of course i stressed and had breakdowns and episodes and thoughts of wanting to cut my toes off but i survived. still alive. wendz still zillaing.

quick recap: had 5 more words to write to finish short story in adv eng but time ran out, left out the last question in math paper because i didnt see it (cry cry cry, that's about 50 rankings i've dropped), made my english ext story more horror than gothic and forgot what hoffman voltameter was called in chemistry and called it "tubes". anybody wanna swap half yearly reports?

legal studies today was a bit of a bitch. i learnt all the pernickety little definitions and crammed content on native title and abortion as mr lynch instructed us to. guess what? none of it was even needed. firstly, the definitions didn't really matter because he decides to put 4 marker questions on sources of international law, on appelate jurisdiction and on common law vs civil law-- did i study that? no. luckily enough i have earwax dressed up as policemen in my right ear so information i learn in class runs through my left ear and as it is about to whisk away through my right ear, it is handcuffed and brought back into gaol cells in my brain. i had to mentally sort through all the prisoners in the "useless" faculty before i found it. and that is legal.

went liverpool with monica afterwards. monica was looking for some perfume after working hard over the easter long weekend and saving up enough, so that gave me a good excuse to wonder through myer's perfume section. are they renovating? the miss shop/tokito department is completely gone or has been moved somewhere, now replaced with the beauty department. ah well, got sprayed and sprayed myself with a million perfumes. the skin surface area available on my arms were taken up by different pumps of whatever they were, all swirling and mingling together creating a concoction that would have collided with your nose hairs and blown up your noses. also, i must try something from sumo salad next time i go!



monica bought a skirt, a cookbook and perfume. and that is what i got. chocolate. not even for me, for my sister cos she loves chocolate. but i had a good reason: it was on sale. $5 a box from priceline. well, on my receipt it says the 300g ferrero rocher box was originally $17 and the lindt box was supposed to be $12. fear me.

went back to cabramatta after that, bumped into liza and lisa who were returning from lunch and heading towards library to study! why do all my friends have nice clothes? lusting over booties for winter and a side satchel for school at the moment. kmart has pretty decent ones, quality unknown but i might go tomorrow and get a black suede pair of boots for $12, heh. anyway, back to the point, then went to the library, eric came and first thing i did was make him sniff all the different spots on my forearms. fun fun fun. so much fun it almost feels like friday.

best of luck to everyone with exams tomorrow and/or friday! see all biology and music kids on monday and tuesday, dun dun dun! and see you all soon, readers, thank you for your time :)
