my existence as a human being has finally reached that hurdle that is the hsc. that phenomenon that i used to regard as so very far away is now imminent and weaving its way into nearly all of my thoughts! i can't do much without thinking "this time could be spent studying" or "that can be a related text for my essay".

hence, i've been taking these summer holidays pretty easy compared to many of my beloveds! many use up what would be school time and study 6 hours straight everyday. i've just been casually cruising along which i would not deem very smart of me! i crammed so much in the last week of last year that it's kind of disappointing that i'm just watching the tennis and groaning at my polynomials work. can't help it. one of the best highlights of my summer is the tennis! it sucks that the olympics are going to be on this year and i'm probably just going to be locked in my room with enough food rations and more textbooks than necessary by my dad who's been constantly reminding me that, "this is your last year of high school! make it count!"

it's funny that he chooses to care now. yesterday he asked me what "legal studies" were.





moving on from my woes as a senior student. one of my ventures these holidays include a visit to norita's cafe. it was avi who insisted we go to this board game cafe after i brought it up, while i kind of held back because my wallet has been weeping lately. i'm a board games nut though, so i just had to try it out!

tucked neatly away on liverpool street in sydney, it was a little bit of an adventure simply trying to locate the place. the deserted stairways kind of spooked me but the atmosphere inside the cafe is very cosy and laidback. avi and i were led to the second room and given window seats. two menus: a board games menu and a food menu. the latter was very limited in variety-- it being a cafe and all, mostly only offered desserts and drinks. we ordered a lemon lime bitter, fish cakes, jenga and scrabble.

so many laughs and lip biting throughout jenga, while scrabble just consisted of me sulking over the fact that i couldn't build many words. all was well when avi got quite shabby letters to try and construct words out of though, as pictured below. i was starting to think i should drop some english units by that rate. (see? hsc conscience meddling with my thoughts). we ended up paying far less than i expected ($20) and even though i had so much fun there, i won't be coming back. to me, the food's just overpriced and being the novelty that it is a board games cafe isn't tempting enough. i'll just stick to rolling dice at home in my jammies. going to top this masterchef standard review off with a rating cos i can. fear me. my kitchen rules. ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆






remember how for my 17th birthday mitchell, lawrence and nicholas, from the goodness of their brother-like hearts, got me a canon printer for my birthday? yeah, well, about that, the printer stuffed up after a month of me owning it which only proved my dad's theory correct that all electronics that i touch eventually leads to a young death. i was quite disappointed. it came as quite a shock to me, too! well, to be honest, i'm used to things screwing up on me but this was a present. that i needed. for my hsc. it's not fun printing notes for $10 at officeworks. even though officeworks is one of the greatest things ever. whenever i tried to print or copy something, it'd grunt for a bit then an "error" message would appear.

remember how for my 16th birthday motherzilla bought me a beautiful pandora-style charm bracelet? and how i've been filling it up with charms from various occasions from different people? yeah, well, i lost that as well. another dearly beloved gift that i managed to ruin. probably why people dubbed me wendzilla. destructive. i ruin everything. i'm just a ruiner. a little, asian ruiner.

this was the situation i found myself in as i was sitting cross-legged in the middle of my room yesterday. staring at the non-functional brick that was my printer, i became more and more agitated. i dont like it when things go all wonky and don't work or work out. especially when they're gifts from those i care about. i'm emotionally unstable like that, alright?! i was on skype with avi this mroning complaining about the exact same thing.

then it hit me.

the top of my printer was a flat surface. any flat surface is deemed as a table by me. given that my printer is right next to my desk, i must have taken off my bracelet one day while i was working and placed it on there.

out comes the sherlock holmes coat.

grabbed my sister's samsung galaxy II, turned on the flashlight app and peered into the paper outlet. nothing. shook my printer a bit. heard a rattle. but things inside printers rattle all the time, dont they? looked inside again.

and there it was. the leg of my lady beetle charm. so that's that! frantically pulled it out. i can finally put on the strawberry and w charms that avi and luke got me for christmas respectively, and my printer works again. double YAY! solved two of the biggest mysteries in my life. i am a happy chappy.











threw in some complimentary badly taken photos of my room, as a way of saying thankyou for reading. cos i lurrrrrrve you horhorhorhor. in all non-pedophile seriousness though, i wish you all a happy chinese new year! enjoy the rest of your holidays and i shall see all you little pea pods soon! ♡

p.s. the other day, i was at the library with julia. her mum called while we were doing chemistry and asked, "what does wanker mean?" julia proceeded to explain what it meant. literal and colloquial meanings. i couldn't stop giggling as i noted stuff down about biopolymers. i had to remind her to lower he voice a couple of times as well. people were staring at us weirdly.
