Dancing wish #infinity

Just a little something to keep my blog functioning and a bit of youtube comedy to put into this time capsule of a blog.

Chit Chat

2011-05-30T15:53:00.003+10:00

Despite people constantly telling me how I looked pretty in my formal pictures, I can't help but beg to differ. I looked evil, pretentious, and just.... not me. I guess I know why mum never puts on make-up now.

So, I'm back for now and one though comes to mind.... [ I don't know how you're getting here but, I would really appreciate if all those I don't know would just STOP spamming my shoutbox. Please find a better way to spend your time. ]

Anyways, the happening of my life... year 12 is alright. I missed lunch today due to the bio trial exam and I still have that thick deliciously-juicy-looking book waiting for me on the shelf... now if only I could find time to finish it :/

Sorry for not updating but I hope you're all still finding wonderfully funny moments in life :)

Cheers~

Goodbye Google; Hello Wiki.

... need I say more? :P

Thinking Ahead...

2011-03-29T17:25:00.002+11:00

Something happened in Revolutions Assembly today... maybe I should put the quote for end of year as "Welcome our Russian friends!"

PUDDING CUPS

2011-03-21T21:20:00.003+11:00

I *just* stumbled across this website. It's called Bakerella and it has the most AMAZING stuff! :D Just posting this here so I remember to try it out on the holidays.

The Beginning

2011-01-31T21:02:00.006+11:00

Regardless of me posting my facebook status as,

"back to the battle stations of this educational war",

I've realised that I've already fallen behind despite the fact that school hasn't even started yet.

This afternoon I came in to "check in" at the boarding house and to basically move into my new room. When I expressed interest in going over to school to check the class lists I was told it wasn't up yet. So I went out for dinner with my mum and brother, came back...

Abby: Oh yeah by the way, you're in 12 9

Me: 12 9...? How'd you know? o_O

Abby: class lists were up and we went to get our lockers :) but school is locked now so... hehehe

This doesn't seem like a very promising beginning of the end.

Bffs never forget your Bday

2011-01-20T12:07:00.005+11:00

So they came over, surprised me with a Black Forest cake, made a video, made me look ridiculous, .... but I think I can handle that :)

... but I'll admit, I'm still getting used to it >_>

Don't Judge Me

2010-12-31T03:33:00.001+11:00

BUT....

Happy Boxing Day!

2010-12-27T02:01:00.003+11:00

From even dailybunny.tumblr.com! :D Hope you all had a very blessed Christmas. I was away in Korea this time but I cbb posting about it sorry :/ it didn't really snow if that's what you wanted to know. Operation white Christmas was a big flop. And I left my novel either in the KL hotel or on the plane. but hey, all the best for next year to everyone!

Also, new fav korean singer! I.U. or 아이유

If you have time, go check her out :) She's the same age as me but she dropped outta school (i think) to pursue the singing business. But she has a really nice voice.

Praise God I Passed! :D

2010-12-15T18:08:00.003+11:00

Today is a day that has left me extremely grateful to God. Why? Because I took my computerized law test today. Despite only getting 2 questions wrong when I sat for my Australian license, I got 8 wrong in today's one, WHICH IS THE EXACT PASSING MARK! One more mark under and it would've been a fail to me. I guess you shouldn't listen to others when they say something is easy. STUDY LIKE CRAZY ANYWAY... or at least that's the lesson I learnt today.

Just for the record, even after the lady in charge told me my mark I still had no idea whether I had failed or passed until at least 10 minutes later while I waited for mum to pick me up.

Oh how your mind can counter-argue with itself when in the pit of anxiety.

Thank You Heavenly Father, How I LOVE You! X3

Bejeweled Craze

2010-12-15T02:17:00.001+11:00

At 11:18pm, I think my work is done. Time to take a bath and have a good nights' rest.

BIG smiles everyone :D

Layout

2010-12-14T02:26:00.003+11:00

I was visiting several people's blog from my blogroll when I realised that pretty much everyone had changed their blog layout while it's been at least 2 years before I'd done anything remotely different to mine.

So here's a question, does everyone specifically tweak layouts to their liking or just directly take the whole coding off a blogskins website?

Tis the season... FOR HOLIDAYS

2010-12-10T21:48:00.002+11:00

to all my fellow peers: FINALLY! how painful was that year, hey?

Okay, I guess I can't really talk, what with Adela physically assaulting me while Nanisha verbally attacked me and Abby smiling while they took away my laptop from me just to make me study. So I need help in concentration sometimes. Is it really my fault?

So I arrived yesterday and... to my surprise it wasn't raining. I don't know, there's something just not right when you enter asian land at the end of the year and it's just not wet. But it's alright, all was right in the world when a rather heavy downpour arrived later in the afternoon. Our house finished renovating and it was the first time. It was kinda embarrassing after all, how it sorta jutted above everyone else in the street. My expectations sorta dwindled as just when we arrived, the gate wouldn't open. It was sorta funny I guess. I mean, new big grey house and gate wouldn't open. Doesn't quite add up does it? Well anyways, we called my brother and he came down and did some stuff and it was all good. Point is, now I have a room! :D No more sharing with mummy for me! A room where I do not have to worry about packing and unpacking every term, A room where the bed does not dominate the room so much, A room where I can actually study in and not have to go outside, and finally, A room with my own bathroom! heaven! =^w^= hee hee hee~

SO! what have I been doing? absolutely- manga facebook manga facebok manga facebook toilet eat movie facebook manga facebook toilet eat repeat.

My eyesight is once again diminishing. I NEED TO DO SOME WORK!!!! DX *sobs*

help meee~~

Oh well whatever. I'm going to swim with mel tomorrow. I've got a plane. After lunch, I will force myself into a corner of the library and study. Void of all internet privileges it should work right? But then again, what happens if I start playing games on my phone? day-dreaming? WHAT IF I MEET PEOPLE?!?! DX OH THE POSSIBILITIES!

anyways, good-bye. This post is just another way to pass the time. Jeremy pointed out that we only have 7 weeks of holidays. It made me very sad.

Abby...

2010-11-29T20:10:00.006+11:00

the bitch. said with an emphasis on the 'tch' sound.

For the past week or so I have awoken from slumber to the wake up call of Erin, who would then go on to wake Abby up and together, the three of us would sit in the dinning hall and eat our breakfast with only minimal chatter.

Ever since the talk of K.K. however, the talk of who we got and what we're getting our k.k's have seemingly dominated over. On numerous occasions, we have gone through who exactly we got for our k.k. Abby would always say "Gawin" "Gawin" "Gawin"

This morning we discussed what we got our k.k.s and even though erin and I said what we got, when it came to Abby's turn she just sat there with a supressed smug sort of smile (if that's possible), and announced, "not telling"

I replied with all the selfishness I could muster, "nooo Abby~ we all told so you have to tell to!" After much deliberation:

Abby: I got her something from Typo.

Me: Oh, what did you get her?

Abby: Erm, that camera thing.

Me: The camera album thing? I have that to! not for me but...

Thirteen hours later and Nanisha's at me going, "YOU SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR K.K. IS?!"

Me: No.

N: OH MY GAWD I FEEL LIKE KILLING YOU RIGHT NOW! LOOK AT THE HANDWRITING!

Me: ... it looks like Christine's? :S

N: OH MY GAWD! ARGH! JUST GUESS!

Me: ... is it someone from our corridor?

N: no, but seriously! JUST GUESS!

Me: ... I dunno :S

*Nanisha leaves and Charmaine comes*

C: You don't know who your K.K. is?

Me: n-

C: A *makes letter A with fingers*

Me: *looks round and spots Abby* OH MY GAWD

C: *mouths abby over and over and over*

Me: I CAN'T BELIEVE-

C: *continues mouthing abby over and over*

Me: ... *is staring at Charmaine's intense mouthing directed at me*

C: *grabs me and whispers ab-

Me: I KNOW! STOP MOUTHING IT!

Finally, the moment when I exacted my revenge onto oblivious Abby.

*grabs from behind into headlock*

YOU DARE LIE TO ME HUH?! HUUUUH?!

Abby at that moment, "AAAAAaaahhhahahaha, AAAAAaaaahahaha"

later Abby, "You know, pranking you was the best :D"

... you wait Abby Lau. One of these days....

Enclosed are pictures of my K.K. and her present.

Thanks Abs. You know ily ;P

Warm Fuzzies

2010-11-25T18:39:00.004+11:00

Christmas is arriving and school is ending. The time to celebrate the warm spirit of giving and receiving has once again arrived at our door! Or rather... at the boarding house's noticeboard!

The idea is that everyone gets a small bag pinned to the noticeboard and throughout the course of a given time, you leave stuff in there that's meant to make them feel "warm" and "fuzzy". So I checked my bag and ta-da! I got some stuff! :D yay! thanks guys!

Also we're doing Kris Kringle here :) So for those of you who don't know, an alternative name is Angel and Mortal. It's pretty much the same thing where you treat them nicely and give them something at the end of the time period. But anyways, time to write messages for everyone who's been so nice to me! :D

cya-!

EXAMS; MY KRYPTONITE MY DESPOT

2010-11-15T20:59:00.006+11:00

I don't think I've ever studied this hard consecutively (3 days) in all my exam existence. I know, and I'm already going crazy. Yesterday I had to nap twice. Brain stamina... so weak... If I don't ever see any of you reader-friends again... then I guess this is it. Good-bye.

Things to stress over about for tomorrow:

English
History
My potential at Ambidexterity.

Happy Halloween?

2010-10-31T17:09:00.003+11:00

I had totally forgotten it was that time of year. 4 girls and one slightly older boy (supervisor?) just came by, rang the doorbell, held out their bags and were like, "trick-o-treat". One of them was possibly about 3 or 4 and was so ADORABLY CUTE AND SMALL my heart quite literally melted. Resisting the urge to grab her and bring her in while locking the door behind me, I grabbed a bag of lollies I had just opened to aid me in my conquest of math and gave about a handful each.

I know as a Christian and all we're not supposed to celebrate it, BUT I BET YOU EVEN GOD LIKES TO DRESS UP AND HAVE A BIT OF FUN! D:< ALL IN THE SPIRIT OF LIVING, EATING, AND GETTING FAT.

NOW WHO'S WITH ME?!

Typical, just typical.

2010-10-31T12:34:00.003+11:00

oh yeah, on friday lunch Nita, Clare, and Lai Kwan came over and told us a very mathematical joke in reference to our math test because Angela, Beccy, and I had a math test the day before and (or at least in my case) forgot to study the shape formulas. BUT ALL THREE OF US ALMOST GOT IT RIGHT. but I stupidly cubed the r of the cylinder and... ANYWAYS, the joke went like this:

If the radius is z and the height is a, what is the volume of the cylinder?

... it's pizza by the way. lol :P

Catching Up

2010-10-24T19:44:00.021+11:00

Sorry for not updating in a long time.

*sad face of apology*

Anyways, I've got some pictures! the school's blocking-site system is really annoying and is only letting me upload one picture at a time so really it's all down to how much patience I've got :P

First stop, the oh so famous Eiffel Tower!

One of the many churches in France

La Fiete = shopping mall (pardon the spelling)

I forgot what this was... sorry but there's me wearing a beret? :S

short stop at a garden at the end of one of the days

asked them to pose after they took their picture like that :P

this lawn was apparently near a french high school. NO i did not take pictures of the remarkably good looking guys there but some yr 10 girls did :P
Sacre Coeur! they said "Merci" and "Thank you" to everyone who donated upon entrance except somehow when it came to me it became "Arigato". Was it my leg warmers?
transitting at Finland airport! :D

Upon Arrival at St Petersburg...

desserts

I forgot what it was called but it's a shopping centre at the Red Square

I took this off someone's fb photo album as my camera was never able to get such a nice clear close-up of them but judging from the build, these are Russian pigeons. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT! PIGEONS LOOK DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD TOO! (espesh the one in the middle :3 hee hee so cute~)

Moscow subway; trust me, that's a normal looking subway. I was too scared to take pictures of the good looking ones for fear photography was prohibited because apparently it is in some subways. Go stalk those who were much braver than I.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moving on, I was watching 10 Things I Hate About You when...

okay stop gawking. although in death he's still married. see the ring? jeez. BUT NO! that's not it. Several months ago during the production of SoM at school, Shakya and I were wondering why one of the guys looked so familiar and I just realised... *points to lower facial features including jaw structure* IT'S THE SAME AS THAT DUDE'S!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Our school gets a short mention in the Hearald Sun! Although it's not as big as Xavier's, it's still something to talk about. Let's say, the students did something, the principal chose to act to the extreme with the punishment (and let me tell you even some of the teachers didn't agree with it), and as a consequence, some students lashed back hostilely.

40 hr famine

2010-08-21T15:40:00.006+10:00

This weekend we started the 40hr famine. So, at about 8pm I stopped sitting down on proper furniture and stopped binge eating. Except I forgot that I was also doing no talking so I waiting till 9 to start that.

--------------------

Anyways, now I'm sitting by myself alone in the corridor on blankets (which are really comfy and plush btw). Weird thing is I don't feel very hungry yet :/ I just miss the constant movement of my mouth D: Also, all I've been doing up till this point was wii with Nanisha who supposedly gave up technology. (she narrowed it down to laptop, ipod, and phone specifically though). Speaking of phone, I haven't used my phone either as I'm too lazy to charge it so maybe I can do that too :D

So back to what I wanted to say, NEVER PLAY MULTIPLAYER GAMES WITH YOUR FRIENDS while doing no talking. they can be reeeaaaaally unhelpful with remarks on your incompetency. Okay now I'm starting to feel hungry :(

NEED TO WORK!!!!

Morning Cupcakes

2010-08-14T09:29:00.010+10:00

Okay I know I haven'y been blogging for a while but just a bit stressed right now here in reality. In fact I shouldn't even be here. But oh well. Anyways, I've realised I haven't really been putting up many photos so here we go! :D Please excuse us if we look rugged. We did it at about 8:30am in time for Charmaine's date so still a bit of bed hair here and pjs there. hehehe :P

Laughter is the Best medicine

2010-08-04T19:39:00.002+10:00

An e-mail sent from my mother about how laughter is the best medicine.

It was about this lady who was born in 1898 and is still currently alive at 112 yrs old. It was a nice e-mail that I'd put off reading since the start of the year but anyways, she was talking about how an event where her mother had once dug up potatoes to feed the entire family but gave the whole pot away to help a starving beggar who had turned up at their doorstep with a child.

The e-mail thus ended with:

“That was the day I learnt that to give what you have in your hand to others is a great blessing,” she said.

When asked how important religion was to her, Hsu said, “Nobody ever told me what a religion was”.
She cited an incident when a Buddhist man and a Christian lady were arguing and singing praises about their respective religions.
She told them, “Brother and sister, there’s just one door”.

2010-08-01T09:11:00.003+10:00

... and now it's all over.

Last night was both exciting and sad at the same time. When the curtains closed for the last time everyone was laughing, whooping and hugging each other.

That was my number 1 good thing that happened to me last night.

Sound Of Music

2010-07-31T08:39:00.003+10:00

Sorry I haven't been blogging much. At the end of last term I signed up with my friends to join the backstage crew at our school's big musical and this year we're doing Sound of Music :)

It's just been endless rehearsals since Sunday and even though we got a break on Wednesday, I had tutor on and went out for dinner with my mum so by the time I made it back was when normal rehearsals ended anyways. Performance night started on Thursday (BIG SUCCESS!) and Mr Wentwort told us that we have his full permission to come to school at 10 and even though originally I wasn't going to miss any school since I had a music lesson at 7:40 anyways, but in the middle of the lesson I started having a nose bleed so my teacher told me to stuff some tissue up my nose. When I got back to the boarding house to get my stuff for school I ended up having a good 30 minute nap instead. period 2 was a spare anyways :P

We had another performance last night and 2 more; a matinee at 2:20 and another at 7:30. Last night went pretty bad though cause due to complications we forgot to open the back curtains for the sunset scene to show the sky, the band missed their curtain cue to stop stalling and (even though it was subtle) one of the main character forgot to come in on his cue during a song.

All in all, even though it's really tiring and there are some people I've never spoken to before, I'm still gonna miss the general atmosphere of everyone just being there.

Oh yeah, so the Captain Von Trapp actor. Because for his first scene he wears this black suit with red tie and has his hair gelled back right? So for the first full dress rehearsals since most of the actors come through our way so we tend to get quite a lot of noise on our side. But the thing is, everytime I turned round on a random spurr of the moment; HE WAS THERE! THe thing was, you'd turn back BAM he was there, turn back, look again, BAM he's gone. He moved like some feline no jokes O_O It did not help that his suit looked like Lord Voldemort's suit in teh last harry potter movie. Not to mention that his real name is Tom ....

So I told a couple of people and THEY THOUGHT THE SAME THING TOO! except Tash didn't get it at first as was like, "no, he doesn't look like Voldemort; I think he looks more like Dumbledore :)"

But anyways, so right before the performance last night we delved into the complexities of Voldemort like how he can't grow any hair and such when Mrs Driver comes up to us and says, "Now the show is almost starting so I think we need to stop talking about boys and start concentrating on the task ahead."

"We're not talking about boys Mrs Driver. We're talking about Voldemort; fantasy boys!"

"Oh?"

So today is the big whammy with 2 performances at one go. Maybe I'll try to make some more friends tonight... or maybe I'll be lazy :P ahah either way, I'm really glad I did this :)

Christianity Rant

2010-07-24T22:34:00.008+10:00

Today I was standing at church singing during worship time and the thing was, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't bring myself to fully enjoy God's presence. The discussion the previous night at life groups phased me and I found myself even a little angry at God. You see to me, I don't really think that it matters if you're Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, whatever, because in the end if you really think about it, (besides the hindus since they worship everything lol jk :P), the person behind everything is still a God; one God; our God.

However my theory was proven wrong by this girl who said that in the bible it actually says that whomever does not believe in him will be condemned and that even though I pointed out Mohammad was a prophet she said that he was actually a demon.

Now I know that it's fair enough that people have their own views and that even my view may be wrong, but I don't want to believe- no, i refuse to believe that God will just discriminate someone because of their religion. Hear me out will you?

If they refuse to follow a completely new religion when they're perfectly contented with their own is that truly a crime? I mean, if a person does everything right but believes in something else, to what extent is it his fault? What if someone came up to me and said that in their religion, if someone doesn't follow their rules and believe in their beliefs then that person would go to hell? What if they say that they don't want me to go to hell; that they want to make sure I get to heaven? And what if their religion was the right religion? I still don't think I could abandon my current one to follow something else. Because I love the way I worship God and the relationship we have; because it was this one that I learnt to sit myself down and just spiritually rest in his presence- or to be fair; what I perceived as his presence.

I think in this world, we're always trying to show others how right we are and how we're not the ones making the mistakes. If what that girl said was true, then whether it's the facts or not I'm not going to believe it. Because that's not what I chose to believe in when I decided to declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour; because that's not the kind of God I'm worshipping. Who I worship is a God that oversees everyone trying their best to make their way in the world. He wouldn't discriminate someone because of the faith that he or she chooses to follow. He looks at the heart. He sees how hard they try and he forgives sins accordingly; with or without prayer. He sees the effort that others make and takes into consideration what they perceive as the "right" way and judges accordingly.

Whether my view is wrong or not, this is something I had chosen to believe in somewhere along my journey through the complexities of my faith. Whether the bible says one thing or another, this way of thinking ain't going to change so the world can just stuff it.

I have faith that the one who has followed me from the day I was born; the one who grasped onto my hand tightly through all the storms, turbulences, lightnings, thunders, and social turmoils in my life until they subsided; the one who gave me strength and soothed me to sleep through all those nights of restlessness, wouldn't treat anyone without the same kindness, compassion, and understanding that he had shown me over the past 17 years of my life.

This life I had given him and he had given me absolutely refuses to believe in a faith where we continue to worship him only because if we stop we will eventually become the next cosmic satay.

I have faith in the justice of my God that everyone in church proclaims him to have.

... and whether you believe it or not; I simply do not care.

Charmaine Moments before her Big B'Day

2010-07-22T21:48:00.007+10:00

Charmaine: NANISHA! NANISHAAAAAAAA! NAAANIIISHAAA! NANISHA? *comes into room in fluffy white ugg boots over fluffy pink and white stripped socks, pj shorts, a singlet, a small towel wrapped across the shoulder and clipped, entire head gelled onto her head like... buddha(?)* Do you know where Nanisha is?

Eunice: No...? O___O

Charmaine: Oh yeah! would you like to come see To Kill A Mockingbird with me? *big hopeful grin*

Eunice: I can't, remember? D: sorry.

Charmaine: :D *happy grin maintains for few secs before fading into stare* OH YEAH CRAP okay then *closes door*

... *opens door* oh yeah I'm dying my hair :D *closes door*

Eunice: what colour *talks to door*

Charmaine: *quickly opens door* like... a dark brown but I don't think it'll work cause I have asian hair :/

Eunice: *scoots roller chair closer to doorway and squints eyes at her hair* It looks.... golden...

Charmaine: SHUTTUP! <:D (<- she has this insulted smile face)

---

Charmaine: OMGAWD HE CAN COME!!!! *is positioned like a chicken with a massive grin looking at us so happily while her two fingers are alternatively typing the same two letters 90 degrees away from her face*

---

Charmaine: OH CRAP THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SWORE! AAHHHHH *runs to bathroom with Nanisha and Abby pursuing her*

...*corridor suspended in silence*

.... *train of people walks back up the corridor and into her room next door; noise gets louder*

Charmaine: ... ~~ NOOO SHUTTUP I DIDN'T!!!!

Nanisha: hahaha F*CK F*CK F*CK :D

New Layout?

2010-07-17T21:43:00.003+10:00

Hey, I try to make it a point to change my blog layout every year but... I'm stumped this year. I mean, in '08 it was black, in '09 it was white (current), but what should I go for in '10?

Could be grey.. could be coloured....

Any ideas people? I know you're there. I have traffic live feed thing tracking all of you. Yeah that's right. You better start commenting on my cbox -> I know who you are. Every single person ... except for the one from PJ. I didn't think I knew anyone from PJ >_>

(who in the world are you?)

But that's okay. I don't have to know everyone who visit this blog :P even random people it's okay. I don't mind getting stalked. JUST COMMENT! ... preferably not in chinese because I'm still not so good with that. Maybe.... English? *hopeful smile*

I lack title inspiration

2010-07-12T09:42:00.003+10:00

I love my cousins :D they're so funny and smart that it makes me feel inadequate but I like hanging out with them anyways. I was in Singapore today and frankly, having to lugg around my backpack with books, clothes, and laptop, in there made my shoulders so sore and the fact that the singaporean sun was really too hot sent me into a cranky foul mood for the entire morning. 10 minutes hanging out with my cousin telling me about his school while walking to Takashimaya carpark was enough to send me into hysterics everytime he opened his mouth.

Let's see... what else happened...

After arriving in Melbourne I was expecting something EXTREMELY cold but it was just the normal winter :/ I was sorely disappointed but anyways, my brother ended up coming really early but then the guard lady chased him away and he took the wrong turn so he was real late. Mum and him argued for a while in the car while I fell asleep. I was soon jerked awake by their raucous laughter. THen we went to Moccha Jo's for brekkie :)

someone said this guy looked like chewbacca XD hahaha

wel apparently I have to see the dentist now so farewell little people of the internet world.

Ps, watching How To Train Your Dragon on the plane and it ROCKED! go watch. lol :P

Bday prep in 2 hrs

2010-07-09T19:19:00.005+10:00

I went to Spring with my cousin today :)
It was in celebration for Aaron and Tania's birthday so while the others were watching The Break Up plan we bought a cake, looked round for presents, cards, colourful bags and of course, balloons.

It was really fun especially during the last 30 minutes. We had to rush to Gasoline, dump the cake there, and while Mel was busy writing in their cards, pealing off price tags from presents, and basically organising everything with the Gasoline staff, I was running up and down looking for small elmo balloons that said Happy Birthday. Finally I found 3 of them in a stall not far from the actual Gasoline place; one for Tania, one of Aaron, and one for Eugene (whom was secretly included as his birthday was not long ago).

In between though, we did bump into a LOT of people. Eg./ Alvin, Anthony, Lorna, Angeline, Wei Xin, Jlong, Mark, Kok, Kuang Ming (can't believe I can still remember their names), a guy that looked and could possibly have been Victor, Jordan, Darrel, Amelia Wong, possibly Anwar (?), Melissa T and Tim T and their mum... and Lorna said Ben and the girlfriend were roaming somewhere but we didn't end up seeing them.

When the whole gang finally finished their movie and made it to gasoline, it consisted of Aaron, Christopher K, Christopher L, Bosco, Natalie S + James, Lovelyn + Felix, Tania + Eugene, Helen, Nelson, and Marcus. The cake was choc cheese and everything went pretty smoothly I think, even though most of the candles got blown out on the way out of the kitchen. So fail :P

At Gasoline:

Marcus: Why is it everytime I see you when you come back you just get weirder and weirder? *screws up eyes in total confusion*

Nelson: Yeah and that accent!

Marcus: No, she's always had a funny accent...

Me: Hey!

Helen: Hahaha

Marcus: well at least you're not talking about that pizza anymore

Nelson: It was her fault

Me: excuse me!-

Marcus: oh no.

I want Bunny =x

2010-07-06T20:57:00.002+10:00

Hey peeps, just a yell out to all those people in Melbourne in case anyone was interested, my friend has to get rid of an ADORABLE bunny rabbit by friday. Any takers? :)

He's a mini-lop almost 3 months old and, quoting the owner herself:

I'm really hoping to give it to someone whom i kinda know so I can visit him and you know, i wanna make sure i dont give him to some freak. Tell me if you can keep him/ if you find someone who you think is responsible enough to handle a bunny.

And here are some pictures! :D

The Art of Hao Lien + ...

2010-07-05T14:57:00.012+10:00

As always, the weekend spent of my holidays are the most exciting.

Firstly, going to Spring on a Saturday is the most fatal mistake of trying to keep a low profile in small Kuching. you WILL get caught. You'd think that since people had exams they'd stay home, but apparently there was this thing called "Mighty Minds" where representatives from a number of selected SMK schools would come and compete against each other.

But I guess as much as I dread it, it was kinda nice to meet up with old, older, and just plain ancient friends again. It still gets to me how almost everyone we were talking about during our lunch at Sushi King turned up that day. Like ancient friend #2 o.O seriously, first sighting of him and I had to stifle a grin. Facing towards the back of the escalator side of the Might Minds' banners, there he stood (unintentionally posing?) in front of an empty section while lights shone from behind him. He was with a friend who was behind him and was looking at him but he was facing the other way with his head inclined towards the floor. Not to mention his long side fringe that covered almost half his face.

As we walked past him, I saw him look at our direction but cause he knew Tim I wasn't taking any chances that he remembered me. So yes, I panicked, chickened out, and walked right past him without even a glance. Damn though, cause I started smiling. hurry walk walk walk
Melissa and Tim suddenly hurried towards me from behind and:
Tim: That was Damien!
Me: I know, shhh!

Lesson to be Learned Timothy Mejin and Melissa Tiong (oh hey just realised both their initials are T and M) ... are the worst people to hang out with when you're attempting to be hao lien.

Earlier that day we went to Sushi King for lunch and I wasn't even looking at anyone in particular, but suddenly mel spotted some people we knew. I panicked and automatically assumed a position ideal for pretending-you-saw-nothing. However right as they passed our table, mel NUDGED ME HARD and said OUT LOUD, "Say hi already!" oh. My. BOB. they were RIGHT NEXT TO OUR TABLE MEL! RIGHT NEXT TO IT!!!
you'd think some people would keep quiet if you ignore them but niuuuuu~ she major nudges again and says equally as loud if not louder which to me sounded like a, "THEY'RE LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU!"
but yes, eventually when I went to pay the bill and they were still there so i did say hi to which they returned but right after one started laughing.

Maybe the art of Hao Lien was never meant to be for me to practice.

Another lesson to learn when with T+M, even though they don't know where to go, DON'T EVER GIVE IN TO SUGGESTING SOMEWHERE TO GO.
T+M: so where should we go now?
Me: I don't know, you decide.
T+M: hurry!
Me: errr, okay. Do you want to congratulate them? *indicates Linda, Sam & Zhi Chong*
Mel: I know you wanna say hi to Samuel lar.
Me: WHAT?!
Tim: oooh! Samuel issit?
Me: OMGAWD. FINE! *stomps away with duo trailing behind sniggering*
Mel: Samice?Sameun?
Tim: Eusam? eh, Eusam!
------
*blindly walks with rage towards esprit area where suddenly we notice a huge group of boys including ancient friend#2 standing together at the corner of Elle*
Mel: So where are we going no- oOOOoooh~
Tim: Wanna see your kindy crush issit?
Me: *hisses* OMG SHUTTUP SHUTTUP SHUTTUP *turns sharp corner into Elle*
T+M: ... why are we here?
Me: *notices music* oh, I like this song.
Mel: So we're only here for the music? ... you know Tim is with us right?
Tim: You know someone once asked me if I was gay?
Me: @#%^)*#^_@*^@$+)^

But then again, if you don't take control...
Tim: where are we going?
Me: dunno.
*both look at mel*
Mel: Har?! I was following you *points to me*
Me: Har?! I was slightly behind you though!
Mel: yea but...
Tim: ... *pulls out phone and resumes smsing*

Whoa, okay that took a while. I was meant to be pretty brief but obviously I still had some pent up hatred going on :P
I met up with my cousin on sunday though. When I arrived, a sense of longing filled me.
"Snooooo-wy~"
when suddenly out of the darkness a voice was heard "You come here and the first thing you do is ask for SnOwY?!"
But it was so cute cause Snowy was snuggled in the laundry basket underneath a green towel with only her head poking out. "riaaaow~"
"snowy! you got old O__O but naaaw *hearts* =^^="

But yes, after a big bucket of popcorn, a bowl of grapes, and 2 cups of ribena, off we went to gossip gossip gossip

Which was when I noticed something. I definitely gained weight like nobody's business. I felt like double my cousin's size! It was THAT bad! Upon knowledge of this, I hastily smsed mel:

swimming monday? :D my face is pudgey D:

false promises were made because we didn't end up swimming today. but then again it was good. I managed to do some real homework for once. SWIMMING TOMORROW THOUGH! we're meeting up with char tomorrow too which is exciting :D homework at mel's tonight :)

.... okay I'm tired of blogging for today. Bye. Ugh.

Rogaining

2010-06-20T19:17:00.007+10:00

Through rain and shine, we experienced at least 3 different rainbows. Got lost, followed some people, broke off, got lost again, had people follow us, got lost... etc...

Basically the faint yellow highlighted was the root we intended to take whereas the green was where we went... except ignore the green line on the bottom left that leads straight down. It actually lead further left. We actually went off the map! Kinda hard to explain as the map is also blurry so even if I gave a reference point number. Oh but the 2nd last point? we had 30 minutes left on the clock before we were late and had points deducted so what we'd decided was in order to get to HH we were going to make a straight walk through to it, get the 50 points and head straight back. I'm happy to say that my compass was right but somehow everyone else's compass pointed in the total opposite direction so since majority ruled, we walked through fenced off area, onto private property, saw a wild bunny (SO cute the way it could hop uber fast ), got onto a road, walked the wrong way, walked back, asked for directions, realised we weren't even ON the map, experienced 2 rainbows roughly in the same spot along this wide stretch of road as it rained and stopped, got the unintended 25 points, met some guys who were like, "that's the way to do it; to music!" as they heard tash's phone music blasting from her pocket, sprinted with Zoe the last 150m (though she claims it was more like 200m), checked in, realised we got -50 (whoo-hoo!) for being 28 minutes late (10 points per 1 minute), joined the now diminishing lines of both the all-you-can-eat and the toilet queue, and slept most of the way back.

Obviously we'd come last but turns out, the other teams did pretty well :D we even came first, 2nd, and third in some sections! our year 12 team had like 700+ points with only 3 people (WHO WERE PROBABLY ALL CROSS-COUNTRY PEOPLE AND INCLUDED OUR SCHOOL CAPTAIN!!!)... but yeah, now I don't feel like taking a shower. too full.... nooooo, math assignment due! urg~

OH YEAH! I dropped my phone somewhere along the road while we were running :'( I'm scared of my near future...

Overall it was fun though :D I fear for my body tomorrow morning, especially my tighs, but for now. I think I'd like to go for it again next year :)

Confession

2010-06-19T09:46:00.004+10:00

There is something that I have been hiding. Something that I have desperately tried to shield myself from in order to not be stereotyped as one of those.

But I went to brush my teeth this morning in front of the mirror and, as I proceeded to doing so, I caught sight of it. The hideous, horrible, terrible, vegetable, undeniable truth. And it pains me to say:

That I, have definitely eaten more than I exercise as of late this winter.

I, am a pig.

VD Weekend

2010-06-15T17:36:00.005+10:00

Yes, you guessed it. I wasn't too big a fan on twilight but I'm totally infatuated with Vampire Diaries. I even spent the long weekend watching 16 episodes of it :D Before you guys say anything, the book that this series was based on was published way before twilight so if you do decide to watch the first episode and think it's a total rip-off off Meyer's book, you better think twice!

It's basically about this girl who is put under the care of her aunt along with her brother after a tragic accident involving her parents. A year later a mysterious new guy comes to town, soon followed by his brother. Yes, they are both vampires BUT(!) It's still really good. If I say anymore than that I'd be ruining the story, so please know that there's more to the plot than just that.

Also please don't group it with twilight. The girl is not some love-struck obsessed i-will-commit-suicide-without-you kinda girl so please don't worry.

Sometimes I wonder which is worse; saying the truth, or avoiding it.

Or perhaps it is merely easier to play it dumb.

But how long will this artificial web of reality hold?

Humanity's tendency to complicate things can be exhausting.

Things I discovered today:

2010-06-07T19:22:00.006+10:00

MY MSN WORKS AT BOARDO AFTER UPDATING IT
[same goes for skype!]
Apparently I'm "lanky"
Did not get enough sleep last night
Chicken Crimpy flavoured Shapes are REALLY good!
My cousin might be coming down to study next year! X3

OKAY!

2010-06-03T15:57:00.006+10:00

5 exams down, 1 more day to go and I'm done. I can do this. So what if almost everyone's done with exams; so what if 2 people from the corridor have gone to box hill, 3 are running around the corridor, and the last one... studies(?), and so what if 2 of your friends are out present-hunting for your theory teacher and you can't go cause you're meant to be studying for bio-

(chocked sobs)

lol at fat asian babies and equally fat ranga cats *hearts*

ANYWHO, ONE MORE PAPER BEFORE I'M OUTTA HERE BIFFLES! Yeah, you might not hear from me for a while as I'm too busy out there in the real world hardcore celebrating... before homework is due yet again this monday ">_>

Best In Me - Blue

Another Day, Another exam :(

2010-06-02T11:38:00.006+10:00

The Chinese exam was 2 hrs long and everyone at AT LEAST 1 - 1/2 hour left of doing nothing including me who always takes the whole 2 hrs up. I sat next to Helen whom was denied departure after approx. the first 45 minutes when she asked the supervising teacher whether she could leave. She tried to sleep for half an hour but I think it failed cause after a while she lifted her head off the table, stared round the room, let out a huge sigh, and lowered her head again.

As for me, at the start of the exams for some reason, we were given a piece of A4 lined paper. I drew a pig :D

Oh yeah! I found an even funnier one! XD For those who don't get:

The Real Slim Shady - Eminem; Just Lost It - Eminem

Please excuse the swearing :P

Math and Oblivion

2010-06-01T11:33:00.006+10:00

Maths paper was the worst.

I mean it's real cute and all how Mrs Lewis uses everyone's names in class and alliterates them like Shakya's Shack, Alison's Auction, .... Phoebe's Furniture (lol major win)

BUT IT WAS SO HARD.

I was binge eating so hard last night while studying for math that I woke up with an extremely painful upper stomach. Abby says it's cause I ate 2 packets of mee goreng at 10 last night that my tummy became super hungry... but still(!) its never happened before! My partner-in-crime-with-the-mee-goreng-situation Nanisha also experienced the same thing so maybe there's some truth in it... but still...

Anyways, I'm off to study study study~

Some things I found about tumblr ... *shifty eyes* not that I was procrastinating or anything...

Study Day

2010-05-27T17:21:00.008+10:00

I'd been hard at work learning about poetry this morning so after lunch when I told Abby that I wanted to go on the net and have a break, she gave me her consent. About 15 minutes into my play time, spurred on by the note in front of my door saying "Please Check That I'm Studying", Nanisha barged in, said "STUDY BITCH!" and tried to grab the laptop from me. I told her that Abby let me and she was like, "NO SHE DIDN'T!" and even AFTER Abby informed Nanisha of her consent, she came in and tried to verbally abuse me to cease all activity on the laptop.

Adela came in and passified the situation by making a joke out of everything like "oh oh oh, look what's going into your hand *places blue pilot pen in hand* and now your laptop is slowly closing..."

I forgot what catalysed it but very soon it went from, "WHERE'S HER LAPTOP!" "On her lap!" to me sprawled across the floor with one arm trying to maintain a grab at my laptop while my other arm was in captivity of Adela, Nanisha was trying to grab the laptop, and both of them teamed up to tickle and poke at me, calling Abby to come and help (WHICH SHE GALDLY DID), and just when the words, "Call Natsuda!" "NATSUDA GET IN HERE!", Nanisha had finally managed to rip my black apple laptop from my arm, holding it triumphantly in the air with both hands while I lay with my back on the floor staring helplessly up at it. Rapid footsteps were heard as the laptop changed hands and Natsuda ran away.

Anyways, Gawin eventually came in to see what was going on as she was under the impression that a chicken was responsible for making all those strangled cries of fury. One by one they all left until finally Nanisha was left and as she slowly walked out, she retorted "Now study bitch." As she slowly walked to the entrance of my room I said something that distracted her so I could quickly slam the door. Then she tried to get back in cause she left her book in my room.

Later I found out that Natsuda hid my laptop behind the stairs which Abby later retrieved from there to store it into her wardrobe. (i KNEW it!)

Korea

2010-05-24T21:58:00.003+10:00

According to my korean friend from next door, yesterday North korea declared war against South Korea. However from what I gather, it was the south korean president who provoked it by... well too long to explain. Get a korean buddy to explain it to you. Anyways, there're also suggestions that the bomb that was sent to bomb a ship in the south today might've been from South Korea itself using North Korea as a cover-up. Hmm... reminds me of the Manchurian crisis... oh crap, gotta study history one of these days...

So what will happen now? The scandal!

*munches on chocolate bars and biscuits in anticipation*

Boo-Yah!

THIS IS IN COMMEMORATION FOR THE TIME I TAUGHT THE GREAT KIMBERLEY ANNE NG SOMETHING!!!

Fire Alarms are a Pain

2010-05-22T19:51:00.008+10:00

I was just in the middle of a wonderfully warm shower and was about to finally wash my feet when...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

For I second I just stand there; staring at my toes. Surely I must be hearing things, surely...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

But no, as it cuts through my thoughts the words, "Oh shit no" escapes. I switch of the taps and as I am wiping myself off with the towel I can hear my fellow dorm mates coming out of their rooms and Abby suddenly exclaiming, "EUNICE!" followed by an erruption of laughter. As I am pulling on my duckling pajama pants, I can hear the toilet door swing open. "EUNICE HURRY!"

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

There's nothing else to do 'cept pull on my jumper, run out bare foot and on the way slipping into a pair of shoes. There is no time for anything else but the single thought of running up the stairs with the crowd; up 2 flights of stairs and out onto the lawn under the presence of the chill late-autumn weather.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

With wet hair dripping I stand with my friends taking pity on me and hugging me to keep warm; charmaine points out the stars above. As we looked up, all I saw was the twinkling of laughter from the far-off balls of gas and the beaming smile of the half-moon as it looked down on me. We were soon hassled into the dinning hall where almost everyone immediately made a grab for either the milk, juice, or cereal. It was not long until the lights of the fire-engine could be seen quite clearly against the background of night as it made its way up the driveway.

Apparently, some girls had decided to cook in the kitchen but since they had the door open, the smoke wafted down the corridor. Thus the uber sensitive fire alarms were triggered and, thus my shower was interrupted.

I've had more peaceful Saturday nights.

All Along-Remedy Drive

2010-05-16T18:14:00.002+10:00

It was playing on the radio.

I decided that I liked it :D

oh and this too while we're at it. Sorta reminds you the of good ol' days hey? :D

Russian Pal exists!

2010-05-13T20:55:00.002+10:00

I was actually expecting an e-mail from my mother but this was good too! :D

She's actually alive! Andee googled her name and apparently she has the same name as Miss Russia. Anyways, on to conquer my english essay which, ironically enough is about suffering.

Wishing I was really multi-lingual

2010-05-12T22:12:00.005+10:00

我觉得如果我 mesti belajar bahasa cina，eventually I will end up insane.

Ruby's Cow

2010-05-11T17:30:00.003+10:00

Passing the boarding dinning hall I met Ruby who had ducky *insert picture* drawn on her left hand and fishy *insert picture*drawn on her right hand. When I questioned her about it she simply smiled and said,

"yes, this is fishy and ducky and they are my friends. I also have a cow called larry. he's blue and I use him as a footstool."

"haha oh really"

"haha he's actually real! I'll show him to you."

But right after dumping my bags in my room I went to practice in the music rooms so at 5:30 I returned and found this awaiting me:

Meet Larry!

I will collect

him later don't move

him somewhere else pls.

Ruby

Emo Post Warning so go away :(

2010-05-10T19:20:00.011+10:00

Dear God, I was wondering if I were to ever have a puppy may it be as cute as this one.

So I went to Tiffany's youth on Friday which was pretty fun I suppose. Her mum sent us as her brothers had to cook prior to the event; it was one of those fun nights and this one happened to be all about eating where you go to one house for appetizers, two for mains, and one for desserts, except that each house has a different country as a theme.

Everyone there was pretty much asian but for some reason, a LOT of the people there resembled/reminded me of someone I knew or had seen before. Lololol, there was this dude I thought was 15 but it turned out to be Tiff's brother with glasses. He looked like Harry Potter O_O And there were some people whom I thought I'd seen before but didn't know why... HOMBOB there was this guy called Randall who tiff referred to as "the pimp" who drove us from house to house that resembled and even had the same voice as Sebastian :O!!! I was dumbfounded. I kinda starred for a bit but now I feel bad cause i hope he didn't take it as me starring at him because of his size :/ (same size as sebastian too but taller!) There was this other thinner slightly shorter guy who'd follow Randall as well whose name was daniel (i think) WHICH WAS FREAKY CAUSE HE REMINDED ME OF JEREMY'S BROTHER DANIEL!

let's see who else... oh yeah! We were still at the first house and I was getting my satay and sushi when I turned around, saw someone, had to do a double take, and before I could stop myself,

"OH MY BOB. It's YOOOUUUU!!!! *points*"

"I thought it was you.", replies non other than Jonathan Tay O____O

We reached Tiff's house at about 11 something; all pretty pooped out and ready for bed. The one thing I wasn't used to was the fact that I, as a guest, get a MASSIVE room to myself! O_O It was by the entrance but still. Massive bed, bathroom; EVERYTHING!

But I guess the thing that hit home base about it was that while everyone else's room was on the 2nd floor, the guest room was on the bottom floor which was, I think, where the heater controls were. In my house back at the Glen my room is also situated pretty near the entrance and heating controls so when I awoke to the shuffling of slippers on wooden flooring and the sound of the heating coming to life, for a milisecond before opening my eyes I truly believed I was back home with my own mother waking up on another lazy saturday morning.

It didn't really register as disappointment at that point yet. I brushed my teeth and just like I used to do back then, I'd get a mug of ~~warm milo~~ water, and ~~sat~~ stood at the kitchen counter and watched the mother of the house do the washing at the sink.

Except when I did that I think she must've got a tad bit creeped out but yeah, there were no chairs at their kitchen counter and I didn't no what else to do with myself cause it was just the 2 of us in the kitchen at about 7 smth in the morning. Eventually I finished my mug of water and went to wash my hair (which I did not have time to do the night before). Coming back out with a book I had to finish for English, I settled myself on a chair next to the house's easterly window where the rays of sun were slowly streaming in. I read there and it was rather amusing listening to the slow stirrings of the Goh household slowly come to life.

*about 7:30ish*

Tiff's mum: After I'm done with this I'll go wake up Tiffany.

*nearing 8*

Jeremy comes to kitchen: Good morning, you're up early.... as you can see everyone else is still asleep.

*about 8:05ish*

Tiffany comes trudging in with basketball(?)top and cow(?) pj pants: *jerks head of what's-up-acknowledgement tiff style*

*about 8:15ish*

~~Harry Potter~~ Francis comes down... in search of vacuum(?)

As you can see, their way of communication got shorter and shorter (lol) It was kinda cute the way this family operated though :P Jeremy would do something out in the garden (gardening?), Tiff would bring in laundry, and Francis did vacuuming. All the while Tiff's mum Fifi (I know how cool a name is that???) did some... tidying? more washing up? I don't really know what she did...

On Saturday night slept over at Mel's as a sorta mini bday party for Monday and pretty much talked till 1.

On Sunday night right before I went to sleep i was thinking back on my weekend and suddenly started missing mum. Big hug from Puppy and 4 big teardrops later I went to sleep.

Have a Nice Week Everyone.

Thank God I Found You - Mariah Carey

I think it's cause I didn't cook the fish balls and egg for long enough...

Yum Cha

2010-04-30T23:48:00.003+10:00

Sorry for not having updated for all those who actually still to some extent follow this blog. Been really busy but I really thought I'd finally get the sleep before 12 tonight but obviously the freedom of internet once again has excited me to great lengths.

So for those cantonese speaking/hearing/whatever-it-is-you-cantonese-people-do, here's a little something my *other* Canto friend tried to make me watch:

(and for those of you that don't, my friend told me it's something about people fighting over the bill. just watch out of types of yum cha names to pop out :) )

Cake Saturday

2010-04-17T11:30:00.004+10:00

Presently happening in the boarding house kitchen...

Curdled the cream a bit but hopefully it'll still be alright...

-- Afterwards --

Oh crud! I forgot to take a picture of the 1st cake! It was for Charmaine's friend but it was basically a biscuit cake where we cut the brown bit in half and sandwiched the cream with them.

But yeah, the 2nd cake baked.... after taking it out of the oven the center started to sink...??? oh well, it still looks pretty good ayways :P

3rd Day Back

2010-04-15T21:40:00.003+10:00

I cbb updating on my trip to japan so let's just type about the present. This snack is the best snack in the world.

I hope the asian stores here have it :( It's really good but I only brought back one packet with me. Also another thing that happened today.... you know how expensive it is to pay boarding fee right? well today, strangely enough, we didn't get our normal plates.

Today, we paid thousands of dollars to use a plastic plate.

It just doesn't add up, does it? :S

Japan

2010-04-09T00:18:00.003+10:00

As of the the morning of 3rd April I've been in Japan and ever since then how schedule's been:

eat

toilet

bus

sleep

get off

toilet

see sights

toilet

bus

sleep

-repeat thrice-

This sort of unhealthy lifestyle... I've gained so much weight D: and it makes me feel unhappily unhealthy but but but, the unagi today was so good =^^=

No pictures as the pictures have been scattered across 3-4 cameras and the only camera cable I have on me is for my own camera that has no battery left and apparently olympus cameras don't recharge while transferring files which creates a bit of a problem as it only lasted for one day... :/

Oh well! bought lots of stuff, fed some deer, soaked in massive baths, slept lots, got fat... I'm arriving back to Melbourne on the 12th and is hoping to be able to snap out of this lazy lifestyle (as well as doing some homework)!

House+Cat

2010-04-01T20:48:00.002+11:00

So for those of you who don't know that my real house in Kuching is under renovation.... well, it's under renovation. First time coming to see it since I got back because dad wanted me to take a look at bath tiles and I saw this written on one of my windows facing inwards to the house:

For those who don't know what it says, it's something along the lines of:

I care for you,

love you,

oh ... oh

king kong.

Yeah I know and my dad claimed to have not understood what it said so I told him :P

Anywho moving on, I visited my cousin's and her cat again! :D Except I didn't see her till we started making Honey Crackles so my hands were too dirty and sticky to pamper her with so I was forced to ignore her and after getting fed up of waiting around for us, we found her sleeping on the piano stool like this:

Oh my darling Snowy, how many years have passed and you're still alive, well, and mind-bogglingly adorable *hearts*

HOLIDAY COMMENCES OFFICIALLY!

2010-03-29T17:01:00.004+11:00

So holidays have started since last Friday and I'm pretty much drowning in homework. Instead of taking a pail and scooping all that water off deck however, I'm simply sitting back and allowing myself to be surrounded by it. In terms of survival, I'm definitely not understanding the meaning of wanting to live.

I went out with my cousin to swim yesterday which was good :D We saw daniel at the gym and during one of our hanging-off-the-sides-and-gossiping moments, he climbed over, took off his shoobies, sat down, and talked till his dad with the blue Oxford Uni T-shirt came to get him for his grandma's dinner.

Ate a proper Hokchew noodles meal for dinner that night and was so happy. Today for lunch my Kakak cooked some good home-cooked food with the ladyfingers, nice, japanesey-looking rice, some chicken soup... I guess boarding house food makes you appreciate the simple things in life more; eg/ food.

2010-03-16T21:49:00.011+11:00

Regarding Toast Situation:

Yesterday they told us it was cause there were too many people crowding round the area during break so to appease the situation they've made it possible for us to make it after school as part of afternoon tea and today for recess they pre-toasted some slices for us but by the time we got them they'd already gotten fairly soft :/

Anyways, this is us putting the pro in procrastination. To be honest, originally I was just gonna post about my homework amount but as I was trying to take a photo of all my stuff, Abby came crashing in causing an awkward moment with my and my photobooth. So to cover up for embarrassment afterwards I invited everyone for a camwhoring session instead :P

Anyways, Abby started going on a high cause she found a reason to visit her old school mates this weekend, I'd just finished my TOK essay and was having a (rather long) break till starting my other homework, Charmaine already finished everything anyways, and Nanisha... i'm not too sure but I reckon she just likes a good procrastination so there we were; united in the moment.

So here we go folks! Photo shoot time with Abby, Charmaine, Nanisha, and Eunice :D

LOL AT NANISHA! XD

(Charmaine was being a tad sensitive about looking like a china man but LOL at her nonetheless!)

LOL! Abby the "baby" indeed.

But anywho, after a fairly good laugh, we all head back to our respective rooms. Time for me to stop listening to Mambo no.5 and get on with some homework too. Going off to camp after school tomorrow so everything is pretty much due.. thus I bid thee ADIOS! >_>

Sunday = Day of Rest

2010-03-14T22:42:00.005+11:00

I totally stole my photos off charmaine's blog but until I find a way to upload photos from my new stupid phone to my laptop I'll be mooching off other people :D haha sorry~

So today we went to K-mart supposedly at 4 and there I am with a demo asian squat prompted by Charmaine who was like, "You know those people who do asian squats? I can't do them!"

Meet Nanisha (left green), Abby (right pink), and Charmaine (trolley); also my corridor mates :D

Deprivation of Toast in the Boarding House at Recess!

2010-03-11T21:51:00.006+11:00

Originally it said no toast for lunch but ever since yesterday they'd unplug the toaster after breakfast and wouldn't allow us to switch it back on for recess. This has thus caused a major uproar especially on the 2nd day. A girl from the year lvl below came by with a petition to sign to get our toast back :D

Will update if any news of progression or depression.

Chinese Class

2010-03-02T20:31:00.002+11:00

Yay! I know it's still going bad but as Mel said regarding House Concerts earlier this term, " ... still bad but the point is that we improve!" So yeah! Chinese class today we had to write translations and pinyins on passages as per usual when finally nearing the end of the lesson while Ms Liu told everyone to write down the meaning of something there was a long pause and she was like, "Eunice can you find the word?"

Me: ... niuuuuu....?

Ms Liu: ... someone help her.

*charmaine comes to the rescue! :D*

Ms Liu: ... Eunice go sit next to Jasmine she will help you.

Class: AWWWW~

Ms Liu: It's okay look at her! she's smiling! she wouldn't bite you!

Me: Yea but when I didn't know she was in my House she was like "that's mean!"

Ms Liu: Nooo it's okay. You're english is better than hers.

Me: NOOOO!

Ms Liu: It's okay, one day our mark may by pass hers.

Me: Erm, Ms Liu I don't think that's gonna happen.

Jasmine: what? what did she say?

Class: LOOOOOL!!!

Ms Liu: What we need is to get you some convidence!

But then, but then right? after she got Jasmine and I to wipe the white board she was like, "You're improving a lot. I'm very proud." and I'm like "YaY! XD"

From the looks of my cbox, if anyone from my class happens to be reading this, my deepest apologies at all the class interruptions I've caused with my inadequate vocab >_>

Active Sunday

2010-02-28T22:13:00.002+11:00

I went for a run this morning at 7 something this morning before breakfast :)

yeah it didn't go so well. about 300m later I stopped to a power walk.

(one of these days I will conquer that hill..)

After that I took one of those rare morning showers and it felt pretty good I suppose. Slipping into a new T-shirt and yesterday's pants I walked happily satisfied to breakfast. It was a good thing I ate as much as my tummy could take at that moment. At about 10:30 I tried making my way to Aunty Margaret's house because Mel said she wanted to go for a jog since Joyce didn't want to anymore. Well if I ever posted anything about my solo public transport skills from work experience, this was even more complicating and was a total fail. All I'll say about the matter is, I spent 3 and a half hours catching public transport when it should've only taken tops 50 minutes. My back now hurts from walking around lugging a massive bag of PE-type stuff and extra shoes etc.

Upon arrival Aunty cooked me two packets of Mee Daddy so that was good :D then Mel, Jade, and I went for a "jog" round the neighbourhood (half of the duration spent at the playground). At about 4:30-ish Mel decided to go swimming after all with Jade and I. $3.50 entry I think... AND THE DEEP END OF THE POOL HAD LIKE MOSS GROWING BELOW IT. CREEP-PY!

anyways, totally dead after today. I want to go to sleep but Mandarin 2nd period and I haven't finished studying for dictation. Cry me a River. Stupid buses. They were all late today to boot. Well, better stop now.... *contemplates title*

A Pocket of Happiness

2010-02-27T20:44:00.006+11:00

Something amazing happened on Friday's Mandarin lesson. We got our 2nd round of mock exams back and this time I got DOUBLE my previous mark! :D

Hip Hip Hurray!

yeah I know it's not much considering my previous mark was UBER low BUT STILL! I'm getting there :) My next assignment, to learn my chinese dictation for Monday >_< NO work at all so I should be all recharged for the next study session right? SO WHY AM I SUDDENLY SO LAZY?! DX

My studying stamina is so weak and floppy it's sad :(

Apple Appliances

2010-02-16T22:38:00.003+11:00

Yesterday I didn't get any internet access for some odd reason and today after school I sent my laptop to the I.T. support place and turns out, it's cause there are too many people with their wireless internet via iPod and iPhones in the school that they took over my IP address :(

Well it's fixed now so all your wireless iPod and iPhone users out there... >=(

Happy CNY + Vday!

2010-02-14T21:46:00.005+11:00

Hello peeps! So many people are agitated about the whole CNY being booked on the same day as Valentine's but I think it's pretty sweet and cool :) So being in a Caucasian family there's nothing much here but THAT'S OKAY. Since my parents went off to the airport today, Jade and Mel came over for a "homework session" which soon turned into a camwhore session but what to do? Single Ladies with no houses to visit to gain no ang paus...

Jade pretended not to like the hat but I bet she was really happy :)

Mel thought it'd be fun to camwhore with fruit. Jade actually has some kind of grape/plum/prune thing in her mouth I think... *shrugs*

Anywho, I really need to do the rest of my homework now as people like me still have school to get through but sucks to the other two cause I get casual dress for the next three days since house concerts are coming closer :D yay! Hope everyone had a fun Valentine's and Chinese New Year! May the Tiger be with you~

Hong Pau Na Lai

2010-02-13T22:42:00.000+11:00

Tonight I got my first Hong Pau :D

2010-02-05T21:17:00.005+11:00

Hey existing readers out there. If you haven't heard cause I don't know you in any way (though I'd highly doubt such people exists), I've been admitted to Boarding at PLC.

"After 7 years, why?" you ask? 'cause after 7 years dear mother has decided that she's had enough and is going back to work on a more permanent basis. Anyways, so it's been my first week of IB and I have a few worries; my biggest one being Chinese but other than that I've been pretty good with keeping up with the homework.

A big annoying bit is that, while you're mooching off their internet, things like twitter, youtube and facebook are all blocked. So, when Darren told me on MONDAY that they had some clips of the youth singing on youtube... *sigh* well I get to watch it now so I'm happy :)

Darren initially asked me to watch this one:

But I personally like to watch this one :D

Sick Again

2010-01-26T02:19:00.002+11:00

This is getting ridiculous. There's just something about the month of January and getting sick. I've gotten sick I think THREE YEARS in a row! Oh well, hopefully I get better by tomorrow as we're flying off and if they detect even a hint of fever on me I'll be stuck here with plane ticket non-refundable :/

Anywho, mum went for a manicure and pedicure and since Aunty Julia had nothing to do, she picked me up from Gina's and drove me to the hairdressers dragging Ben along :S

For a RM36 haircut it didn't turn out so bad but now I have to deal with a side-fringe. This should prove a challenge....

How funny, I used to secretly laugh at the people who had to toss their head to one side because of their fringe but now I'm one of them too. Oh the shame...

Eunice's Waiting Whinge

2010-01-23T12:13:00.010+11:00

I was gonna post this yesterday but something came up so i'll post it today! :D Make sure you pee and poo prior and maybe bring a snack or two because this is going to be long.

I call it: Eunice's Waiting Whinge

*types that into title bar*

So, yesterday I went to kenyalang to meet up with Joyce T, Ben T, and Ben's parents with my mum. Woke up at about 6:15 when IT WAS STILL PITCH BLACK [HOMBOB] just to make it easier for my mum to send me to the 9:30 swimming appointment that Mel T set up. So 9:20 mum asks me to text her to see if she needed us to pick her up. I text her and call her twice; no reply. So I get there and drink my usual glass of water (except this time it was 2) but she still wasn't here! half an hour later I sent her an agro text saying I'll be in the library. At 10:31 she APOLOGISES and says that she didn't know it was still on. I called up my parents to pick me up but they were both in Bindawa. Mum calls back however that she called Mel's mum and they were on their way. 16 minutes later she finally arrived and so we went swimming.

Sometime before I found out Mel was still coming I accepted Krisitne's Glenny reunion invite to Spring at 12. I got outta the pool and rushed everything just to get outta the shower at 12 (but it turned out to be 12:05), and realised I had 7 miss calls and 5 messages. I call dad and he says he's coming but he doesn't come for another half an hour because of the heavy traffic that comes with Friday. Even Mel's car comes before mine and she took her sweet time!

At about 12:40 I ran from the back of Spring all the way to the front corner of KFC and they were like, "Too Late~" :( Anywho, so after KFC we bought chocs and drinks from Ta Kiong, tickets for the 2:30 session of Tooth Fairy and I did my first ever sand art thing with Chloe :D All of them were laughing at my noobness but I'm not noob! I'm a newbie :( but even Chloe's was better than mine. Her ladybug totally pawned my ugly duckling of a swan. Anywho, BACK TO WHINGING! So after the movie, I called my dad to pick me up around now-ish which was 4:10. I walked around with the others for a while until I started to feel bad so I parted ways and went to wait for dad. 4:20 turned to 4:30; At about 4:40 I go back inside cause too many people are staring at this fool with the blackest expression ever. Returning to air-conditioned civilisation, I walk around for 10 minutes, went back outside and nothing. On my way back inside I call my dad and he goes,"Ya sorry sorry I'm coming now" Something that took a 10 minute drive to accomplish and he forgot about me for nearly an hour. Plus, due to the slight traffic he ended up picking me up at 4:21. Just to emphasize my wait, I saw 3 completely different sets of smokers outside during that entire time.

He apologised but I said not to worry, it gave me good material to complain about to friends at a later date so here I am; shoving it all in your face.

Catching Up

2010-01-20T23:29:00.003+11:00

17th - dad posing with tiniest durian EVER! it was so cute. I took a pic of the insides but it takes too long to upload photos so yea :P it was real yum too!

18th - I set my high score and am now in what is probably only a temporary retirement.

19th - My Birthday! :D I spent the first hour upon awakening at the "imigresen malaysia" ~~building,~~ renewing my passport. i escaped however in a fit of rage. Sitting outside, I went on facebook via mobile to read all my birthday wishes :D that made me really happy again.

At about 11:45-12:00-12:30 (we're not exactly punctual people), met at Spring with Mel Tiong, Char Bong, and Kris Tan for Sushi King, Movie (The Spy Next Door), a bit of shopping (char bought me a ring! :D), and, had a narrow escape from the perils of the pistol gun cause they all tried to make me pierce my ears but the lady wasn't there. YES! VICTORY! oh yeah, and we tried that Create Your Own Sundae thing. Yum :)

Yeah then at night my dad made me cut the cake and take a picture of it while he sang me Happy Birthday. Even though no one was there to witness the embarrassment still burns.

which reminds me; I STILL HAVEN'T HAD ANY CAKE! :O

20th - Mel Tiong had her first ever skype video conversation. hee hee how sweet :P

Sad Existence

2010-01-08T19:33:00.004+11:00

Spending my days at home isn't doing much good for me. All the days blur together; I was even convinced today was Thursday but yeah then I got a test saying:

8-01-10 7:41

Morning... did you forget what day it was today? XD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADRIAN!

(you're not gonna read this but oh well. It's nice to record it down and I'm sorry I kept thinking it was tomorrow... hahaha ">_>)

I can gurrantee my eyesight has DEFINITELY decreased. everything is blur but clear but blur again all at once. Glasses is guaranteed I guess but I reckon it was inevitable. All the cousins on my mothers' side has glasses except me so... LAST OF MY KIND!

Anyways, in case you're wondering what I've been doing, it's been 5 days of hardcore bejeweling via facebook:

I know it's not much and may seem very sad to you, BUT I'M UBER HAPPY!!!! :D :D :D It's like, HERMIT LIFE FULFILLED TO THE MAX! WHOOOO~~~

Annoying Things to do on an Elevator

2010-01-05T00:15:00.002+11:00

For some reason I thought this was pret-ty funny :D

1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask "Got enough air in there?"

2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.

3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.

4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.

5) MEOW occasionally.

6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM" - and back away slowly.

7) SAY DING at each floor.

8) SAY "I wonder what all these do?" And push all the red buttons.

9) MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: "I have new socks on."

11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: "Is that your beeper?"

12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.

13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space."

14) WHEN there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.

15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.

17) HOLD the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say "Hi Greg, How's your day been?"

18) DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: "That's mine!"

19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.

20) PRETEND you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.

21) SWAT at flies that don't exist.

22) CALL out "Group hug" then enforce it.

Mangosteens Bracing for Oncoming '10

2010-01-01T02:23:00.007+11:00

What I did on the morning of New Years Eve... We went to some relative's house somewhere at Bau(sp?) which is more than half an hrs drive away. Upon reaching their house my dad asked if I wanted to see a mangosteen tree. So, together we trudged in the half muddy mini orchard-jungle and I plucked my first ever Mangosteen! :D Now all I have to do is give it to someone to eat it. It was surprisingly very easy to pluck off.

Okay, I have about half an hr till the official end of '09 in my current location; Malaysia.

So what I'm gonna do is see if I succeeded in this year's resolutions.

1.Usage of internet during the school terms will last no longer than 7 hrs a wk. -FAILED

4.Learn the art to shut up when my friends are expressing their own opinions & only speak up if it's superbly horrendous. -PASSED! (:D:D:D)
5.To read my bible for other times besides church and for when i'm bored and/or lonely. -FAILED
6.Be braver in front of ~~spastic~~ moths that come into my room ~~because my room is more attractive than my brother's~~ . -Barely Passed

8.Make an effort to socialise with family members ~~that are of the older generations~~ . -Barely Passed
9.Do not leave homework till the last minute. -FAILED (stayed up till 3 one night)
10.Learn focchow words that does not involve insulting one's dignity. -PASSED! (:D:D:D)
11.Learn to eat more than 2 new different kinds of food. -Barely Passed

12. Homework is to be done on the desk; everything on the desk is to be kept neat & tidy so work can be done on it. -FAILED

Erm... okay then. Two Fully Fledged Passes is not too bad :) Well, I've finished this with 23 more minutes to spare till midnight. So anyways readers, thanks for reading Glob the Blog this year ^^

Hopefully I'll see you all again next year!

DON'T FORGET TO SIGN THE CBOX BEFORE YOU LEAVE!

Nostalgia

2009-12-31T02:33:00.003+11:00

Earlier tonight at about 10pm my brother, dad, and I went out for supper. Originally we were thinking of going to KFC but on the way there decided to visit an old favourite so we turned round the massive roundabout at Merdeka and drove all the way to Minoru.

There are still familiar faces there like the skinny high-pitched voiced glasses wearing sushi chef, the balding-from-the-center-and-back chef and boss(i think), and the small head waitress (whom I never knew spoke with a lisp until tonight). Surprisingly enough they still remembered us! It should first be noted that although our family visited since its very first opening, I personally hadn't stepped back in after lots of smokers started frequenting there which was nearly 8-9 years ago.

When we peeked in the head waitress was talking to another waitress but when she saw us her eyes went big with surprise. Apparently they'd just been discussing about us this afternoon. She immediately stood up and walked round to get the menus while wishing us a "Merry Christmas!"

Once seated the chef-boss came out from the kitchen located at the back and shook our hands while wishing us "Happy New Year!" He also said how big we've grown now. I think throughout the entire night he just stayed seated at the back table and watched us eat out meal.

Our friend the sushi chef made his appearance last. My back was facing the sushi bar but I didn't hear anything said until my dad suddenly broke into a big smile and waved. With his high-pitched mandarin he confessed to having almost not recognised us and how my dad's kids got bigger and no longer "pao lai pao qi" running here and there.

But yes, we ordered our usual but observing the place, everything was pretty much as how I remembered it right down to the cutlery and edamame basket. Of course the fish in the tank changed and they got rid of that tank wallpaper but the menus were THE EXACT SAME ONES. Not joking. same black folder, same wrinkly looking pages, same font, same pictures (i remember that edamame picture anywhere)... it was unbelievable! they were even stored in the same place and the pay counter thing was THE SAME as well! even the SWEETS CRYSTAL JAR was the SAME one at exactly the SAME spot! (I should know as I hung out a lot there as a kid).

Anyways, this was one big hit of nostalgia I thought was a rather significant milestone to (almost) end the year with :)

Oops I Did It Again

2009-12-29T11:33:00.004+11:00

If it's one thing I've learnt in the past 3 days is that I cannot show up to a "sophisticated" gathering whether it be with friends or family because my mouth is bound to let something slip if I'm allowed to talk freely. They say that the power of the tongue is a powerful thing but in my case this is just sad.

... blessed are the mute *sigh*

The Internet

2009-12-26T01:17:00.004+11:00

So I'm trying to think of the many ways that the Internet Connection can breakdown. Please contribute via my cbox or commenting on the actual post itself...

Being in places like Malaysia (enough said)
When you haven't paid the bills.
When lightning strikes your antennae thingyo.
If your internet connection thing is not even switch on.
If your internet connection thing is not even plugged in.
Internet provider is having issues (Chloe)

Table #13!

Samuel KL so sad playing chord progressions by himself

Tania and I

Tania being paranoid about her eyebrows

Couple on fireeee~

Literally; think smoke machines

LOL at the boy playing PSP!

Budding photographer and poser

Ivanna feeling wistful?

camwhore the couple!

I'm a Spaceship :)

2009-12-22T02:01:00.002+11:00

Lol I actually typed this up for the facebook group "I'm not a Legend; I'm a Spaceship" but it ended up being too long so I'll just post it up here! btw, just a quick catch up, I recently camp back from the annual embacy camp where we learned to not be who ppl label us to be but who we want to be and what God wants us to be. So here we go! ^^

yay! sharing time :D

erm, what happened was that people would call me the "rich kid" because of my family. It was okay I suppose because most of the time I knew they were playing with me but there were some who kept repeating it day and night and I started to doubt whether the friends around me were there for me or for my "connections". Laugh if you may but it got to the point that I was paranoid that I wasn't dressing too "normal" enough. anything with even a small logo of where my clothes came from was a strict nono. It was like battling with your hormones. "those shoes look nice" "no! it looks too 'rich'" like that.

MeH! because of such stupid phases I understood the joy of baggy shirts. you know the devil may think he's trying to pull you down but with God as your compass, sailing our of that storm will just leave you stronger and a little bit more wiser. so PLAN FAILED! is something you can gleefully shout back the the depths of hell. You only lose if you let it control you. Learn from your mistakes but just don't forget to trust God because if you can't even trust a compass amidst the darkness, you'll just spin round in circles and end up lost!

holiday -> START!

2009-12-10T19:23:00.006+11:00

As usual I left school early missing speech night. Our excuse this time was that my cousin was getting married soon so yeah! ... it was not entirely a lie.

Travelling and arriving at Singapore we stayed the night at my cousins' and together with my aunt and younger cousin, travelled to Hong Kong in the new A380 Singapore Airlines. For 6 days we ate till our stomachs bulged, shopped like an overflowing ATM, and walked until our feet screamed out in pain for mercy and salvation. On the 2nd last day we took a day trip to Macau which, like last time, made everyone's head spin. Seasickness doesn't seem to get any better with age and time it seems. Oh well. The first 3 photos above were taken at the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian hotel and the 4th was just something I found hilarious when we were at immigration after arriving back from our tiring Macau trip.

On our last day while both mothers dismissed us at the cosmetic section, dear cousin and I travelled to the same arcade we went to last year. Together we put at least 4 machines outta ticket-distributing business. The last 2 photos above were taken after we jammed one of their ticket-counting machines and they had to shift us over and after we found out photography was not aloud in that place. I think by the time those photos was taken when it was around 2000...? we ended up with 3000+ ticket-points in the end.

Seasons Greetings.

2009-11-29T22:59:00.004+11:00

"Seasons Greetings? They should say Merry Christmas you know. Even Malaysia say Merry Christmas!"

My mum has lately been complaining about the lack of Christmas decorations that have been put up around Melbourne.

Today we went to Woolsworth (Safeway) with Aunty Margaret, Jade (and eventually Louis), and I was browsing the rows of food they had in stock alone like usual when I turned into an aisle and bypassed a couple and their little brown-haired boy who declared, "Christmas isn't for another 4 weeks!" and to mum I quote that exact thing. So stop with your fussing about!

Christmas isn't for another four weeks.

Give me a paper bag cause I feel the need the hurl.

Okay maybe it wasn't THAT bad but I was disappointed :( We got our language papers back and English was HORRENDOUS. I hate it how little tiny marks add up to one gigantic ugly scar. It's absolutely disgusting.

And Chinese! 89%?! are you JOKING?! ... *sobs* I can't believe I wrote Lan Lan wrong. I wrote it with 3 dots on top instead of 2. argh, hit me! >_<

I also said pi qi hen jue meant sharp temper. hee hee :B *snaps outta it* BUT NOT GOOD!

Ah drats whatever. I'll just have to bust my ass for the next two years. Sorry for anybody who's still reading my updates. 2 weeks ago was exams and last week I was away on aquatics camp (I swam with the seals!) so now I'm back with an odd looking tan. A lot of people got REALLY big bruises from capsizing, avoiding capsizing, on the way down from capsizing... I capsized myself (which might account for the smoothest brown spot I've ever had in my life on my leg), but what I was was pretty out there. They were like purple and green and the size of a small fist...

Oh crap! it's almost 10:40 and I have to get to school early tomorrow >_<

Nights all~

Catch Up

2009-11-15T21:03:00.005+11:00

The only thing that keeps me interested in the news; the strange stuff :P Once again, I applaud you Nita

So Exams are done. We've gotten our maths and Science paper back. I didn't cry at them or anything but I really thought I'd failed my Maths which I narrowly passed so I was actually a bit relieved at this :D however in terms of Asian pass or fail it was definitely a fail :P But oh well. I just gotta wait for the results of my other exams to come back now.

Tomorrow's camp so I wouldn't be facebooking, twittering, tumblring, or doing anything on the net for the next 5 days.

Today mum let me drive with her and my cousin as passengers while I drove round the block. I was on 25km/hr and she was already raising her voice, "HONEY YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST! SLOW DOWN! STOP INTERESECTION!"

and I'm just like, "mum if I stop now I wouldn't be able to check for oncoming cars" But yeah, I guess I didn't slow down enough for the roundabout but I made it by without having to even go up the curb or anything and mum was like:

"okay, drive up this road and stop here. STOP HERE AT THIS TREE HERE!" then, "take off the L plates, I think I'm going to drive from now on" My cousin however was a bit disappointed that I didn't actually hit anything.

On the way to buying a toothbrush at the Glen for my camp tomorrow, I said, "I don't think we have enough trust in this relationship."

Here's a touching vid Nick passed round via facebook that I just noticed today :P check it out:

Happy Halloween :]

2009-10-31T22:36:00.003+11:00

ah yes, this is going to be yet another mention for Nita for this remarkable piece of news :)

I ate pizza for dinner and Jade came over while both our mothers escaped to have fun at the Glen with their friends. Then we ate wedges, drank Apple&Mango Juice (that's what the label said), and when no Trick-o-Treaters came by this year I opened up a packet of Mint Slices and we feasted on them until our mothers came back :)

Hay Fever?

zoe: oh my gawd, are you really crying?

The thing is... I don't know why but my eyes started watering slightly of their own accord and I'm still having occassional sniffles from yesterday. I hypothesize I have a bit of hay fever but Shakya reckons I'm just bipolar T_T

Oddities

2009-10-29T23:08:00.005+11:00

It's nice to know that when Nita finds weird news like this she immediately seeks me out to share it with.

It started last night when I had a sore throat and slept at 11. This morning I had a slightly worse sore throat and periods 1 and 2 playing a couple of matches of badminton completely sucked my energy dry and I started a runny nose. Lunchtime was no lunch for Eunice until 1:50 cause Nita and I had to do a swim make-ups while Alex and Hilary tagged along for some reason and practiced their dives "because it's fun" Fun my Bum Hole.

Mrs. S: so you girls have all completed your life saving program! I don't even need this sheet *pause* ... so what do you want to do? :S

Alex + Hilary: Can we just muck around?

Mrs. S: *pause* ... yeah sure but maybe just do half a K of laps first so that's 20 laps.

Alex and Hilary didn't end up doing those 20 laps as they decided to practice their diving instead but Nita hated diving and so I joined her with her quest to complete those stew-pid 20 laps. It was good though cause as I walked up that hill back to the main building, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment :) Plus, my nose stopped running so that was good... until I ate those cup noodles. why cup noodles, WhY?!

To sum everything up, I think I have a bit of hay fever :( I came home, took a bath, ate dinner at 5:18, slept at 6, woke up at 8, ate ice-cream but cause it was so hot most of it melted before I could eat it *sobs*

Oh yeah, the exam timetable is up:

Mon:- Chi 9:00 - 10:40 [rms N-P] <- go figure...

Maths 12:00 - 2:10 [Hilda Mackay]

Tues:- Eng 9:00 - 10:40 [Wyselaskie]

Hist 12:00 - 2:10 [Wyselaskie]

Wed:- Geog 9:00 - 10:40 [Wyselaskie]

Science 12:00 - 2:10 [Wyselaskie]

It's rather stupid cause the only 2 subject that we'd been given revision sheets on are Geog and Science o_O

or Maybe it was a Pigeon...

2009-10-25T21:32:00.005+11:00

Walking home from the train station, I saw a magpie towards my right of the pavement. I look at it; It looks back at me. I'm advancing by and it makes no usual movement to fly off. Instead it slowly waddles to my left of the pavement and up onto the nature strip. Then it starts enlarging itself.

It stretches its back higher and more upright, it's chest seems to puff out, wings just a millimeter raised, and all its feathers seem to be isolated from one another; standing on end, and for just a moment, it looks off into the distance, fearsomely seeming to be trapped in its own mental conflict. Just when I begin to think it odd, I see a flash of white and automatically averted my eyes. Wondering why I'd done that I turn back to the scene and watch as off the magpie proudly walks off, unbeknownst of the calamity it had just left behind.

As I'm heading in that direction anyways, I walk over and peer at it, already knowing what to expect. There in the disturbed summer grass, lay a fresh-

I averted my eyes and carried on my walk home.

Waxworks [photos]

2009-10-17T22:24:00.005+11:00

So yea, photos I snagged off Tiff's fb album :P I didn't think the 1st two was that good. We were talking about just leaving twilight alone but.... meh :/ and Sarah (left) who is posing as Paris Hilton originally had her hair blonde but then she dyed it brown so we got kinda screwed and someone got a wig from the drama department but.. yeaaaa.... it just turned out looking pretty bad :P So(!) can you guess the rest?

You can't really see it but Clare (above) is holding "Toto" who is supposed to be black...

A Day in a Nut Shell

2009-10-16T22:14:00.005+11:00

So we had Waxworks on yesterday and today at lunchtime. Waxworks is basically this year 10 social work we do where we get people across our year to dress up as characters from here and there and use the money raised to give to charity (we chose Asia Pacific). We had Paris&Richie; Serena&Blair; Bella&Jacob; Darth Maul&Princess Leia; Mean Girls; Single Ladies(Destiny Child); The Joker&Jigsaw; Dorothy&Toto; Lady Gaga etc..

Yea I'm pretty sure there should be a group pic of everyone uploaded on facebook soon by someone who actually brought a camera but I really wanted one with DM and had to make do with my phone camera (cause tiff's cam was running outta battery) and I don't think my friends really know how my phone works so it was rather blurry but yeah :D That's me and Darth Maul! how awesome is THAT?! After everything was over, these year 12s came round to video stuff for their vid. hehe "PLC school captains" were on display for that brief moment.
At 5 something after that Oboe and Bassoon concert that some of us were forced to attend, I saw this car right in front of us below Syndal's train tracks bridge.
Right before lunch was the first real exercise I've had in 5 weeks. Commerce last period, Mrs Watkins handed round a bag of lollipops, there was choc cake and biscuits available outside before and after the Oboe and Bassoon concert. At 7:30 we all met at Gwingana(sp?) Dr for Life Group where everyone then pigged out on Tim Tams, Smarties, Doritos, Shapes, Lemon-filled biscuits, and PODS.

... I think I really made a profit in fat :(

And somehow by the end of LG we ended up with this...

OH! Also, while waiting for our parents to pick us up, Tiff and Charm showed us this clip:

THAT IS NO LIP SYNCING PEOPLES!

ALL ONE-MAN SHOW!

Deed or Motive?

2009-10-07T23:07:00.004+11:00

I was in the car after school determined to finally inform my mother a day after her return to Melbourne, that I, her daughter, had lost my wallet once again.

"Mum, what is the probability that you'll get mad at me?"

"what?! YOU FAILED?!" (referring to my Oboe exam results I received today)

"No, I don't mean something education related, I mean more social-related."

"what? YOU DID BAD!"

"No!"

"YOU GOT DETENTION?!"

"NO! I SAID SOMETHING SOCIAL!"

"What- YOU HAVE TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING!"

yeeeeaaaa... so it took a while but eventually I told her about it. She didn't get extremely mad or anything. In fact, she even offered to drive up to Westfield since we were already halfway.

"Are you sure? Aint that still kinda far?"

"Yea but Alannah Hill is 20% off at Westfield today"

So there you have it folks, an ulterior motive. We got there and I asked the bartender lady whether they got a wallet on Sunday after about 2. She called this (presumably lost and found) place downstairs where the manager (or someone equally as important) then proceeded to come upstairs. Right after the bartender hung up, mum sat on their bar stool and went, "Erm, where did you get this chair actually?"

....

Turns out the lady nor the manager(or someone equally as important) knew so yea! Mum didn't end up getting anything from Alannah Hill fyi but I got my wallet (with IDs and money in tact) so Yay!

The Art of Losing

2009-10-04T17:41:00.006+11:00

So, dear readers, looks like I've lost my wallet again. Same one, different place. It seems like there's a pattern happening. I only lose it

1) after I've transfered a heap of my cash into it

2) while mum's outta town

3) when I need to buy my food for the next couple of days

4) when it's only a matter of days till mum gets back

5) after I've tried hiding some cash around my room

6) right before I need to taken public transport back home, meaning

7) when I have no cash to buy a Metcard

8) when I have friends around to borrow money from (thank you God)

Thankfully I noticed it before parting with Nita so she gave me $10 and would've given me more if I hadn't refused but yes, this is what friends are for :)

I don't know why but even though I have every reason to be angry, I'm not. Walking home I even made a short 4-lined short-of poem:

I see daisies,

I see bess,

Spring is here,

Let's wear our Tees.

More news; I've taken up trying to solve rubix cubes via youtube clips but for some reason, I can never get past those two misfit cubes.

I've decided it is the cube's fault.

much, MUCH later at like, 11:40pm (+daylight savings):

VICTORY! HALLELUJAH! ... now if only I can say the same for my wallet ">.>

Okay well now I can sleep happily... even though I tried to go further, failed, and re-did it like that... so yeah, 2nd victory! not as sweet but victory nonetheless! :D

Shameful Secret

2009-10-02T22:55:00.003+10:00

I am almost ashamed to admit this aloud so if you stop me on the street and ask, I will absolutely deny this but:

I think I really like "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus >_<

Simplicity & Familiarity

2009-09-30T10:36:00.005+10:00

Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, "The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. One is unable to notice something because it is always before one's eyes."

...

I lost my wonderful black USB and now I may have to redraw some of my flash game scenes >:/

Yes I know this isn't quite the meaning that Wittgenstein was trying to give but I decided a long time ago that this blog wasn't going to be about the emo rantings of a silly teenaged girl :P

How cute is she? ♥ I wouldn't mind having a daughter that looked like her ;D

An Eventful day

2009-09-17T11:27:00.003+10:00

After a significant amount of ID is shown, they then allocate you to a computer bay and say, "English"? So I'm doing my computer test when I decided to turn off the sound and read the questions instead because it was getting annoying. That was when I heard something rather amusing.

"English?"

"*mumbles*"

"*pause* sorry, Burmese? Sorry we only have English"

Concentrating back on my test I tune out and when I tune back in again, it seems she's on the phone trying to arrange some translator. Hee hee.

Finishing the test, I go to the counter and an elderly lady appears behind the counter:

"Can I help you?"

"Yea err... I just did my test?"

"Oh so you're waiting upon results are ya?"

*pulls how two faxed pages and studies them for a while with a slight disapproving grimace*

And in a grave tone said, "okay, you've passed"

O________________O

Apparently when I get outside and call mum to come in because we need to pay for my learners' permit license, she tells me with a laugh that she had taken a number all ready to book me another time slot just incase I failed. I love how much faith your parents have in you XD

-----------

For lunch I met Lai Kwan, Mabel, and Kim on the train to the city. I say on the train because it was literally on the train. I told them to go ahead in case my test took too long, and since I sat in the last cabin and they sat in the 2nd cabin, we were practically walked up a cabin every so often and met at the 3rd last cabin (cause I thought the text said "2nd last cabin").

Hmm... we went to some Japanese restaurant for lunch that Clare liked and took the tram to DFO at Southern Cross Station. I bought 2 shirts at Jay Jays :D ... one of them was in the guys section and cause i REALLY wanted it and was so bummed that it was only in the mens section... ">.> It's called swallowing pride and pretending you're buying it for a male friend/relative. I mean come on! IT WAS A DOMO T-SHIRT!!! ASSIF YOU WOULDN'T HAVE! D: It full on said "do~mo" in hiragana!!!!

Reaching outside, we discovered it was absolutely pouring with rain but Clare was talking about this really nice ice-cream place by the river at the Docklands. So, ignorant to the weather, we full on walked the whole way under rain for ice-cream. I reckon I might catch a cold tomorrow ">.> Which might be enough to get me outta the stupid wedding dinners. I have 3 in a row all starting at 7. Urgh~

blood sweat & tears for one sugary treat...

By the time we were eating our ice-cream under shelter it was already 3:15 and decided to catch the city circle tram and head to MC to go home.

did you know there's a new city circle tram? :o

Still walking under the rain, Kim was just walking outta the area next to me when I heard, "Oh shit" and then WHUMP! O_O looking behind me Kim full on slipped on the steps and there was this red indent looking thing on her right foot.

Yes, it was a very eventful day. My first real out-of-house experience in 3 days and so many things happened. I don't think I'll be doing anything remotely similiar to this experience any time soon. Tired, Wet, Cold... maybe I'll have an early night.

Freedom & Boredom

2009-09-14T20:24:00.005+10:00

So today was the official day that starts it off; Term 3 break.

It feels kinda strange cause usually I'd probably be back in Malaysia by now. It just kinda feels like a long weekend rather than a holiday :/ I should do some work... but I'm so lazy!

ugh~

The weather is getting warmer now~

Why I hate Maths.

2009-09-10T20:20:00.004+10:00

From Geography class, Tiff and I were making our way down the slope to rooms Cos and Tan. I forgot why, but someone was grumbling about something and I was like, "hey, wanna look at something funny? :D" And I was on my way to show them when my calculator fell down and its 4 batteries went spewing everywhere across the Eastern Terrace bricks.
I was in the middle of writing down notes when I tried to rub something and then skrpah! This half-circled tear appeared on my page. O____O Oh shyia- I say. Angela laughs and, ashamed I continue rubbing the equation out only to hear garkpah! A WHOLE CIRCLE OF EQUATION-ON-PAPER CAME OUT O____O Oh my- Angela, Jay, people from in front and behind start giggling to themselves and there was nothing I could do except hold up the piece of circle and inspect the legibly written (x-2) and stare down at the angry hole in the middle of my page.
Cos and Tan being wedged in between junior and senior school, was not connected to the PA system so we didn't know where our House Meetings were. Jannie, being in the same house as I, was saying how she didn't want to go and was ascending the hill at an extremely slow rate. After a while I got a bit fed up and started walking backwards, all the while shouting, "Jannie hurry up! C'mon! left, left, left right left!" After a while I stopped, waited, and once I got restless, I took another step back and BAM! I almost fell down on the tanbark below. Furthermore, my calculator fell once again! Turns out, I'd walked right into a tree trunk. Jannie was sent into hysterics and a lot of other people saw it as well. I was not happy. T_T

Human Relations

2009-09-08T18:02:00.007+10:00

Last night was pretty awesome :D I got over my Oboe exam rather quickly cause it was at 9:39 am and then at the end of the day when we were trying to find Vic Roads to book our test we kept on going up and down in the trams and in the end didn't even book it D: But then we had Nandos and it was all good :] After dinner at Nandos we went to Coles and bought a heap of chocolate-related junk food including ice-cream cake and plastic cutlery; just in time for teh dance-off.

Hmm... buttoday was definitely different, wasn't it? :D

It wasn't even Recess before my group already laughed at me! D: I didn't even DO anything! You know that exercise thing where you have to split into groups and get to know each other then you al get back together and introduce each other? Yea well since no one wanted to go first, Mr Banford our teacher-in-charge got this spriggly ball thing and was tossing it round to other people. Then this guy Nick finished introducing... this other dude, so he tossed it and I was like,Whoa cause it was really low and I didn't expect it and he threw it really low so I had to sorta quickly bend down and catch it... and then they laughed at me! Yea, then I finished and I tossed it to the guy in front of me (whom I later learnt was the Maxi guy; the only leader of the 4 that I was depending on to not pick on me during role play time because he was the only one I didn't really know), and without knowing I threw it too high but then it was okay cause he did this quick stop and catch in two movements thing. Preet-ty epic.

We hit the tennis courts and turns out there weren't enough activities for all of us and our group got split up and made to find a group to join. Stations included playing with this giant ball, sack races, this throwing-the-ball-and-direct-your-partner-to-find-the-ball-from-a-distance-game, another run-to-the-mat-and-step-on-the-mat-numbers-in-order (which we cheated and was pretty ghey), and this other one where a person is made to sit in the middle of the ref rubber mat and everyone else grabs a handle around the mat and basically throws the person up into the air.

Then during recess, my voice started going a bit high-pitched (possibly an after effect of last night's pig out? o.O) so as I was telling Jeremy, "THEY'VE ALREADY LAUGHED AT MEEE DX", later he was like, "You know I just realised that your voice is very shrill"

I've gotta say though, our group wasn't really that exciting together until the end when we had 4 groups in the one classroom and we had the role play things going on. Well, actually not even then. Mr Banford had to keep on getting us to say why we were so scared of answering until everyone started contributing. Then we got split into groups by this really complicated process and we had to write down what we thought were the 5 most important things in life, and from there we got paired up with 2 other pairs and made a master list. LoLoLoL! The two short guys that were paired with Steph were just like: MONEY MONEY MONEY$$$! And Maxi who was scribing was like *writes* Money .... sorry can I put happiness in brackets?

lololololol~ you'd never guess what we put as number one on our list XD

1) Life.

Lunchtime High

2009-09-04T23:04:00.009+10:00

I think our class has been pretty much on a high ever since yesterday's Geog class after everyone absolutely just binged ate their way through massive amounts of sugar.

Today lunchtime was pretty bad though. I can't remember most of it but at some point I was trying to get Mabel and Zoe to test me for our Chinese dictation so I was lying on my tummy on the floor when Tiff comes and lies on top of me.

Many laughs and jokes later, Mabel suddenly goes, "Eunice, why do you have a bald spot there?"

I stare up at her for a second before breaking out into sobs. Then Mabel did that hilarious shocked expression of hers where her eyes enlarges and she says an "OOooH!!!" of regret. As Mabel was trying to console me by talking about her own bald spot and Zoe talking of how Mabel once asked Zoe Tsai about her blackheads and Zoe totally spazed; somehow it got to the point where I did a pedo deep-throated scream and started trying to make a grab for Mabel as she did another of her shocked expressions and ran away.

Tiff was like, "Aah! you're like that girl from The Ring!"

As I was still trapped under Tiff, I couldn't chase after Mabel so I looked like some sad drowned whale making strangled deep-throated noises when something else happened that led me to do deep-throated snorts while still flailing about below Tiff. That led another erruption of laughter and chaos, but the most peculiar thing happened. I felt a soft cold brushing sensation against my left cheek. I tried to swat it away and saw a shadow quickly scurry behind me. I turned to my right to find Mabel with a mischievous smile across her face and my pencil in her hand.

I asked, "MABEL WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!"

With a big grin she replied, "Make-up Eunice! :D"

Some other jokes passed and when lunch almost ended,

Mabel asked, "wait eunice, can I see your cheek?"

I replied, "why- TO SEE THE PENCIL MARK?! NO!!!"

Canon & Careers

2009-08-25T20:07:00.006+10:00

Ignore the guy's strange behaviour but I reckon it's really the guy who composed it. Chloe W made me listen to it while we were waiting to play at Bands Fest at Clayton so like a nerd I went to look it up. A bit annoyed that I can't download it but hey, listen to it! :D

If you prefer though you can just find it on my playlist -> it's the last one.

--------

I had my Careers interview today. We're the 2nd last class to do it you see and subject choice forms are due this Friday so it's full on stress week since I have a Theory exam tomorrow, maths test on thurs, and lots of mini assignments due in between so I don't have much time to think about it... in fact I shouldn't be distracting myself with this right now...

meh, since I'm here.

So some said Mrs. Schoonraad was pretty nice and others said she was pretty mean about doing IB and she was just really pro VCE. So I was pretty freaked since... well I don't exactly have the best report out there. But when I came in and we got talking, she looked at my pink form and basically...

I'm capable of doing anything if I wasn't so slack
said that she was alright if I wanted to either IB or VCE
since I wanted to do both music and art she recommended VCE
I could even do GM* if I was willing to work really hard
I could do Chemistry and History (was she reading my report right?!)
was hinting to try my hand at science courses after school (snorts)
I just needed more self-confidence and she couldn't help me with that

For some reason at the last point we both cracked up laughing :S Well, now I've sunk even lower into confusion... and I just got news there's no more space in boarding for Mel! D:
