Happy New Year~!

あけましておめでとう！2010年だよ！

Hope everyone had a fun and lovely Christmas and NYE.

OmGEE It's 2010! Time for a new start and new resolutions. I totally forgot what my '09 resolutions were but this year I'll try to make one of my resolutions come true.

Well it's been almost 2 weeks since I came back from Japan but I want to go overseas again! If anyone is going Korea without me I'm going to kill them *cough Thang cough* Rather than doing a super long recount of my trip I'll photo blog my experience. Next time though because I'm capped right now >_<

I'm going to try and be more active even though it seems like everyone has stopped updating their blogs. Thanks for reading in '09!

Take care and hope to see you all soon :)

Ladida ~ Diary Entry of HSC Student #1

Why am I blogging? The answer is because Lisa forced me to. So yes, if you tell me to swim to Antartica or eat 50 watermelons I also would too. The last sentence was sarcastic btw for those who didn't notice.

SOOO, I haven't updated ever since last day of school and since then many things have happened. For example, the holidays have finished, I haven't studied properly, the HSC has begun, I bludged my life away, no more English to worry about and did I mention that I haven't studied enough? I think two years of assessment tasks non-stop has fried my brain. I'm not even stressing out (is that bad or good) and the more I think about English Paper 2, the more depressed I feel T-T Let's hope that I do superly duperly good in my other exams. Which means that I should go study my head off. And come to school headless. Lovely. Btw, I can't believe there was a blackout today. In the morning, we heard this shock sound from the hall and I said "Someone got electrocuted", jokingly. I bet you that sound was the power dying. What a coincidence. Apparently, school is appealing for the whole grade because the incident was unsettling for us - that's what I heard anyways.

On another note, I think Lisa and Adam are a bad influence >.> They like to waste their time on the net and hence I like to waste my time on the net too. I am not trying to convince myself that they are the cause of my downfall. AND I'm almost capped...aiyoo. But I am still forum-ing away like there is no tomorrow. Plus, watched a few clips on Youtube *no thanks to Adam* I had to laugh silently otherwise my mum would have killed me. But it was really difficult to hold in the laughter, so I paused the video and talked to Adam in order to calm down. Didn't really help because I paused the video at the funny part >.> If anyone is interested, please ask Adam to share the video. Or you can ask me. I'm not going to post up the link cause the title for it is o.o

Now, today is Friday and I have 2 weeks until no more HSC = no more torture.

I don't think I ever completed that "After Trials to do list". I shall make an "After HSC to do list" ^^ It shall be fun hoho. Can't wait to see what everyone else gets up to. For those who become rich or famous remember to put money in my bank account monthly. Thanks!

I just typed in the title for this post. I think this will be the first and only diary entry of a HSC student since I do not intend to update until after HSC. And my previous posts don't count because I wasn't doing the HSC exams then. Well anyways, good luck to EVERYONE who have to endure any exams during these 2 months. Do your best so you don't have regrets :)

P.S. I ordered Big Bang's 2009 Concert and it came today! The packaging is nice and the photobook is WOAH. Can't wait to watch it...it's 5 hours worth of watching though....And my SPAO shirt came as well. I swear Korean post is insanely fast. It arrived in 3 days o.o Waiting on my single to come now. I have no more money left so I need a job after all this studying and exams is over.

Edit: I updated my Photostream. It's funny to see that the most viewed is the pic of Chace in GG hehe

CLASS OF '09 I LOVE YOU ALL

JAWS > DHEN YEAHH

I LOVE YOU GUYS! EVERY ONE OF YOU!

Thanks for the greatest final assembly ever. Thanks for the funnest and funniest 6 years of my life so far. Thanks for the coolest final week of high school. Thank-you thank-you thank-you! *insert a heart here (I don't like that heart symbol)*

Sleepover was fun but at times was a bit unh. I died from the stacks on and my glasses did not break thank goodness. But Bo's did >.<>.>

Fun day was indeed fun fun fun. Main quad looked like white wonderland in the morning. I think it's safe to say that we (the girls) looked quite manly and I have no comment for the boys. Jen was complaining how Hanso had higher cheekbones than her HAHAHAHHA Helene and I were told to move the barricades and those long, green seats are heavy! Too bad our waterbombs got confiscated. I found out near the end of the day that the student who is allergic to latex was not even at school >.> I tried to join in the flash party but there was wayy to many people already. And I missed out on the waterslide! *sigh* Oh well, I got to eat iceblocks :) Waterbombing at the Horne Park was the best. We decided to man the post near the gate for the cars but no one was coming so we moved our bin of waterbombs up. Jen's throwing skills are to be commended. Her waterbomb burst on me.

Boarder-Daygo match was interesting. The daygo boys look so scrawny next to the boarders lol. And the boarder girls started to throw bombs filled with beef stock or black paint. Too bad we lost but it was a good game. We scored 2 tries!!!

Practising for our dance for final assembly was tiring. Heh our dance was very last minute but I think we managed to pull it off with laughs. By the time we had to perform it I decided to not take it that seriously and just have fun. My sis said our dance moves were weird but I don't mind :D Our Year 12 Final Assembly was the best ever! Loved JBJ crew's dance! And Blink > 9000's Toxic cover was tops. Anne made me cry when we were outside the hall.

We (Hanso, MC, Jordan, Dav, Jen, Ange, Nick, me) went city afterwards. But first off was a stop at Hanso's house. MC literally took a 2min shower o.o I don't know how she did it. Nick took the longest haha. Our train got cancelled so we waited and tried old man's $1 pizza. It's quite yummy ^^ and sooo cheap for that size too. Train ride was fun. Oh MC bit my shoulder when we were taking to train to Hanson's house. She's either turning vampire or cannibal. Maybe both. We ate at Ramenkan (I love that place) and I tried their ramen for the first time. I like it :D I can also fit the whole wooden spoon in my mouth. Jordan says that guys don't dig it but oh well HAHAHA Then we went off to K at SHOW. I think we all went high. I almost lost my voice but it came back afterwards. It was past 6 when we finished even though I told my mum I would be home before six *dododo* And more food! This time ice-cream. Before this we stopped at an asian grocery which was dodgy. They had 2 kinds of aloe vera drinks and the cheaper one was overdue. MC bought a drink that was impossible to open and they wouldn't let us exchange for another one. Passionflower were so >:[ ! They wouldn't let me change the ice-cream flavour with my waffles. Plus they didn't let Adam sit with us because he ordered "take-away". Anyways, my plate of waffle and ice-cream looked disgusting after we finished it. Then Angela made us take caps lol. I had to drag Adam in as well because he didn't want to take them.

After the city Ange, David and I decided to get a lift from Hanso. Guildford is super scary and creepy at night. We ended up staying at his house for more than an hour. I want my kebabs!

And now we have officially graduated! Only thing left now is HSC. I'll miss our time in high school. I'll miss the area where we sat in...I've been there since Year 7. Sooo let's try our best everyone and make the Class of '09 the best ever by getting the greatest HSC results! We can do it!

An Etude For Me ~

Okay I'm double posting today. I received my ordered items on Tuesday and I was so excited! Here's what I got peeps.

I am going to order more things :D

I've finally figured out all of Gee! I'm so happy and proud of myself. That's my first complete song I've figured out. Now I am practising it so I can play it properly and at the right speed. If anyone has good piano music or sheet music please recommend :) Oh and now that I've received my Boys Over Flowers Photo Music Books I can learn the proper version of Because I'm Stupid. Paradise by T-Max actually sounds nice on the piano too.

I'm capped and I totally forgot when I decided to upload photos onto this post >.<>

Me: Thanks mole.

Jude: I'm not a mole. I'm a wart.

Then we starting laughing. That's the first time anyone has ever responded like that when I call them a mole LOL.

Changing the subject...I don't know if we'll be able to do the dance for final assembly. I really want to though T-T David is thinking of cutting out the bridge because they haven't choreographed and we haven't learnt the moves perfectly yet. It is going to be one hectic week next week. Hopefully we'll be able to do it. If not then David and Angela's piano playing shall have to compensate ^^

By the way, it seems I have 2 anonymous people on my blog now. So hi there Friendly Person and Anon1 :D My photos still haven't uploaded. I need to get off and study as my sister keeps telling me to. Speaking of study, I don't know what I want to do in uni anymore. I just have these words flying around in my head but I don't know which ones to pick - law, commerce, languages, international studies, arts. I was thinking of Law/International Studies and was almost sure before but I just remembered that it is a 6 year course o.o Well 1 year extra cause studying overseas (this is UNSW btw). Sounds fun but I don't want to graduate that late. So I;m very confused right now. If any one has tips I would love to hear them!

I was reading about Seohyun from SNSD who was a reporter for a day earlier today and it got me thinking, "If you could be in any profession for a day what would it be?" So what would you be? I would like to a manager for an artist for a day. It seems so fun! My photos finally loaded. Ok I shall be zooming off to make use of some brain cells. Remember to bring water bombs and water guns! (I typed in balloons before haha~)

Sunny days and starry nights and lazy afternoons

Ms Jackson's Hanging Gardens of Babylon LOL

Last week of school is coming up :( It feels like these past 6 years have just flown by. Let's have a memorable final week of being a Hurlstonian YEAHH!!! I wish I had a better camera to take photos though.

It seems like it was just yesterday that I got creamed by David and Stella; did our Multicultural Japanese dance to BoA (YYYY -YOU!); started learning Japanese with Mrs Hewett in Yr10 Minor; had the best time at Jindy; sang Breakaway and fell off a chair; skidded off a bike and had mooncraters; cried when Min started to cry (LOL); had fun at formal; laughed non-stop at Chloe and Casey's moments in 7/8D; heard Mr Rae telling us not to roll off into the sunset with the tractor; and met all my friends. I want to stay in high school for a bit longer but at the same time I want to experience the real world. I'm going to never forget everyone and all the memories - good or bad. I'm so glad I went to Hurlstone...all my experiences have been made possible by meeting you guys.

I'm getting sentimental (that is the word right? You know what I mean :P) . I was meant to blog about something else too. I'll do that on the next post.

Anyways I hope all you Year 12'ers don't forget your time in high school. Remember being a child when you're an adult! I'm not 18 yet so I don't need to worry for now :D I'll be mature when the time comes *cough cough* Just be yourself and don't worry too much about what the world thinks of you. Instead worry about how your friends and family think of you and what you want in life. Just some advice (easy to say, hard to do) :) But I'm not the one who can boss you around anyways haha.

Even though senior year has been full of assessments and study, I loved it. Japanese has always been fun - Mrs Hewett is LOL and our row just talks too much :P Maths has been crazy...David, Min and I mostly go high and Nat probably thinks there's something wrong with us already. Legal Studies is scribbling time - Lisa NEVER pays attention and that is not an exaggeration. Nat and I are good students hohum. I have weird drawings of things all over my notes and sheets I WONDER WHO DID THAT? English has been a bit of ugh and yay. I admit that I do not like English as much as I did back in Year 10 but nevertheless it's been good, especially this year. I think our table is the noisiest and haha at our "contract". Economics is my time to talk to Ann the Man. We are each other's motivators...but for some reason we're not doing what we tell each other to do XD Laurence is just the weirdo that sits next to us. Chemistry has been awesome! I am very grateful to have one of the best teachers in the school and sitting next to Kamel and David has been extremely fun. I love all our high times and Ms Jackson's Hanging Gardens of Babylon. On a side note, I think someone needs to stop Kamel from pinching and touching people >.>

Soo even though I have my regrets relating to study, I would not trade my memories in my HSC year for anything in the world. I forgot what I was going to say because I went to do something else....Umm. OH well let's go crazy on Fun Day. And let's bawl our eyes out on Final Assembly. I know you boys want to. I'm bringing my onions for the heartless or tearless.

What time is it now?

I am back to playing my piano thanks to Korean music! Right now I am trying to figure out Gee by SNSD and I am up to the bridge ^^ But I can't figure out the Jazz version of it :( The only things I'm playing on the piano are Korean songs. My list of what to learn:

• Snow Flower - Park Hyo Shin
• Can You Hear Me - Tae Yeon
• Dear Mom - SNSD
• Gee - SNSD
• It's You - Super Junior
• Because I'm Stupid - SS501

Anyways, yesterday was Anne's 18th party!!!! Very fun but messy LOL No photos because I didn't bring my camera. To sum it up: drinks, yummy food and cake, water bombs, dancing and people going crazy. It was super fun :D I ended up getting wet even though I was throwing water bombs. Maybe it's because I threw the bowl of water too. I think I'll only write that much for her party because it was quite high.

I just ordered almost $100 worth of things online and I can't wait for them to come! I love ordering things online because of the anticipation. And I want to buy more things T-T

Funny things I wanted to share a while ago:

Poor kangaroo :(

UNSW Open Day

Happy Fathers' Day!

Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. Today I will be informing you of my tiring weekend and before I begin I would like the take the opportunity to warn you that this oration will be rather tedious and long...

No not really. Okay maybe it might be :P Sorry was being an idiot in the previous paragraph heh. As you can tell from the title, that's what my weekend has been of so far. Well that's how I would like to believe. Let me start with UNSW.

To sum it up: UNSW Open Day was interesting, worthwhile and my legs snapped off.

I spent majority of the day with Ash because we wanted to go to similar lectures. It was my first time going to the university and I LOVE IT! I definitely want to go there now and study law after I went to the law lecture. But I also want to study International Studies. I'm more interested in these two than commerce now...but I know doing something with commerce is a smart option. The Open Day lectures made me understand more of what I actually put down on my UAC preferences. I went to the lectures for Asian Studies and Linguistics; International Studies; Marketing; and Law. I am no longer interested in Marketing - got put off when I heard the word statistics. Asian Studies sounds SOOO FUN! I wish I could study 3 degrees in one...they should make triple combined degrees. But even though I go on about wanting to study these things, I have to get the ATAR first. And what am I doing right now? Not studying I tell you.

Anyways, I walked up those one million flight of stairs more than 10 times and I'm not exaggerating. I swear, UNSW is designed to 1) make you fitter or 2) kill you. Unfortunately I fell into the second option. It's like I have a death wish or something even though I don't. Last week was almost getting heart attack from nearly missing our stops/train. Now this week it was stairs. Back to talking about the actual Open Day. If I do end up choosing something to do with Asian Studies I'm going to study 2 languages if possible - Japanese and Korean. That would be the best thing ever. Seriously. And they made Law sound very attractive. Barely any lectures. Law Review (and I'll tell you now that it has nothing to do with law). Peer mentoring and tutoring. Practical experience. Yep Law is staying number one on my UAC preferences. I got a lot of booklets and freebies I managed to get were: 2 cookbooks, a bouncy ball, packet of chips (which were yummy), CD of music, magnets, diary (for uni students and is 2009) and the bag.

By the way, I think half the high school Year 12 population was there, especially from Hurlstone. Met people from tutor too i.e. Khahan and Sylvia. Anyways afterwards went city with Jen, Angela, Ash, Allen, Adrian and Shak. Haha motley bunch of people but I found it really fun. Went to eat Ramenkan and I had katsudon. Allen ordered sake which came in a tiny pot. Angela tried some and I was surprised o.o They poured the remaining sake into my green tea milk which was 2 drops LOL Off topic - Oh my god I accidentally closed this page and thought I lost everything. Thank goodness I didn't. So I didn't end up going K. Next time!

Then today I woke up and felt like a zombie. My back and legs hurt and I couldn't hear my alarm. I remembering in my dream that some girls were singing the song (My Man by Davichi) which was my alarm...so I'm guessing my alarm rang around that time xD So I haven't done any work so far. It's stressing me out but I can't help it! Well maybe I can help myself by getting off the net but it's too addictive. I have been reading news on Korean celebrities and I just discovered an amazing site to get Korean piano music sheets from. Great time to get into Korean music >.> Listen to La Cha Ta by f(x) - I don't like the group personally and one of the members looks like a guy. I'm not even kidding...my sister and I thought it was a boy and we didn't believe that she was a girl. But the song is very catchy.

Okay that's all I needed to blab about. Post some funny stuff later if bothered (I haven't posted any interesting things in ages). Ciao!

An Eventful Friday, 29th August 2009

Howdy hoo hah. Finished HSC Japanese Continuers Speaking yesterday and kept on thinking about it yesterday night at home. I am now dreading the possibility that I did not do very well. I admit it was not my best speaking but let's hope I will get a band 6 in Japanese Continuers. And I hope our Japanese class did Mama Helene proud. Moreover, I really hope our class did each other and Mrs Hewett proud. Ganbatte!

Trial results are depressing and I'm not even exaggerating, so I'll recount about my life yesterday which is much more happier.

Woke up at 8:30am despite putting an alarm on for 8:00am. Then I realised that I set that alarm time for weekdays. Texted Lisa asking her if I was stupid if I went tutor before my HSC Speaking. She texted back "uh, YES", so I decided not to go tutor. Studied some Japanese by writing down mini-scripts which I did with Nick the night before. At 10:50am, David came to pick me up with MC and Jen to go to Glenfield. 10 minutes before he came, I was trying to find the BOS letter about the Japanese Speaking exam that we apparently needed. Couldn't find it...I threw it somewhere in the house because I thought we didn't need it. Anyways, by the time David came I was stressing out but we decided to go since I couldn't find it. Well, I called the BOS up in the car and the lady said we didn't need it >.> Way to go BOS...just give me an unnecessary heart attack!

And yes, I called up Hanso to tell him that we were near Glenfield and David told me to scare him about the letter. Here's the gist of what happened.

Me: "Did you bring the letter the BOS sent us?"
Hanso: "What letter? I didn't bring it."
Me: "Uhh, you know if you don't have the letter you can't do the exam?"
Hanso: "WHAT?! Are you serious? Argh!" *sounds like he's hyperventilating and has his head in his hands"
Me: "JOKES!" *thinking that he was going to go back and get the letter*
Hanso: "ARGH! I'm going to kill you!"
Me: "Hey don't kill me, kill David. He told me to trick you."

Then I got told off by David. Anyways on the train, I forgot what happened. BUT we almost missed our stop at Kogarah. We were talking and laughing about something and the train stopped. And we kept on talking...I was eating my pasta bake. Then Min goes "HEY THIS IS OUR STOP!" What followed was instant reaction from everyone. We ran out while I tried to keep a hold of everything. I nearly had a heart attack. David called me, Jen and Hanso embarrassing because we kept on dropping our things at the train station.

The whole speaking exam passed super quick. It certainly did not feel like 10 minutes. My examiner was really nice. It's so weird listening to your own voice. I never knew I sounded like that. Afterwards, met up with the others and waited outside for Lisa's mum to come pick Lisa up. We took photos with Uzzi's camera and we were going to play 'What's the time Mr Wolf' in Japanese but never ended up doing that. After "30 minutes" of looking like we lived at James Cook Boys Technology HS, Lisa's mum came. The rest of us walked back to the train station and did not end up eating lunch heh. We almost missed out train >.> Uzzi, Min, Jen, David, Hanso and I were standing on the station and a train came. And we kept talking while people were getting on. Then MC goes "HEY THAT'S OUR TRAIN!" Everyone ran into the train before the doors closed, thank goodness.

I forgot the train trip already but we were pretty high and loud. Our stop arrived and we totally forgot again. MC saved us again. "HEY GUYS THIS IS OUR STOP!" Fastest reaction from everyone ever. This time it was really close. I dropped my train ticket and told Uzma to not worry about it in case she couldn't get out in time. But she picked it up anyways and managed to get out. Thanks Uz :) I swear I was going to get some form of heart disease by the end of the day.

David drove me, Jen, MC and Hanso home. I think you guys have to witness my singing...it's tops. Went to eat at Milano's for dinner at 7ish after I went home. David and I decided to die by eating a 500g steak. I FINISHED IT....and almost got killed in the process. I realised I ate half a kilo of meat when I finished. Took me 1.5 hours haha. Then went Blue Heaven to eat icecream. We ordered 6 scoops and they didn't have cookies and cream cause they ran out T-T Well when we almost finished I realised that I was sick.

Me: "OMG, I just remembered I'm sick guys!"

Oh well, I can infect them all hohoh. Went home and watched Jubei-chan and the Lovely Eye Patch. It's funny and retarded sometimes. I'm learnt some new kanji in it too.

Gosh I wrote an essay. And its 1:24pm...EGAD. I swear it was 11:50am a few minutes ago. I'll be popping off now. Sayonara!

へ, して いと? He, shite ito?

HAHAHA, my title is related to Puzzle. And I am starting to go on a Korean craze on top of a Japanese drama marathon. Great. No thanks to my sister or Jenny >.>

I did an Evil Test and I am 32% evil. "A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil." Mwahahahaha.

Also did a Soul test. Quite interesting. I am apparently a dreaming soul. Linky is below if interested.
"Your vivid imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time.
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult.

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you are brimming with passion that you keep hidden.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life."

What kind of soul are you test

School has started again and I feel like I just came back from holidays. Weather was looking lovely this morning but then it changed T-T

Have a picture. LOL

SNSD Funny Moment #100 - YoonYul's Nyam! Nyam!

The baby is so cute! Watch YoonYul's expressions :P

Friday Outing

Hiyas. Here's how my to do list is going so far:

Watch Puzzle, Zettai Kareshi, Gokusen, DBSK 2nd Asia Concert, Jubei-chan, Cinderella Man, Boys Over Flowers (Korean).
Fill out my UAC.
Go eat dinner with pumpkin.
Movies, party and the like.
Finish my notes LOL. I know shush.
Practise speaking for HSC Japanese Speaking which is *drum roll* NEXT WEEK!

Egad. I just added heaps more things to watch T-T Well I finished Puzzle in one day and that is the record for me. I have never watched a drama that fast. It was good but kinda plotless. If you've watched it then you know what I mean. Then I started to watch Cinderella Man yesterday and I watched 2 eps until I realised I was watching the 2nd disc! No wonder I had no idea what was going on.

I had fun on Friday ^o^ My recount: (remember writing heaps of these in primary?)

Woke up at 8 and waited for David's car to come. Then at 9:30ish we got to Cab and parked far away from the station because the streets were packed with parked cars. Trust Cab to be crowded early in the morning >.> Anyways we made the 10:03 train and saw Helene and Sus! Train ride was surprisingly short cause we chit chatted. I already forgot what we talked about...
ANYWAYS we got to Central and waited for Sus but then she was taking her time and some people were starving *cough Witch and Turtle cough* So Jamie and Shell waited for her and we went to Ramen Kan!

It was my first time and it looks so dodgy from the outside. The sign for the restaurant is not even where the elevator to Ramen Kan is. And the elevator looked like it was going to breakdown halfway up there. I ate Chicken Teriyaki Don YUMMM. Green milk tea is not that great. Yeah it was yummy...David wanted to go city just to eat his Katsudon. Oh and I asked Shell what she was drinking:

Me: "What are you drinking turtle?"
Shell: "Peach tea"
Me: "WHAT? Witch tea?!"
David: "What? Bitch tea?!"
Shell: "Peach tea!"

HAHAHA Anyways Adam, Hanso and David became rubbish bins. Jenny gave her tofu to Hanso to eat (She took one hour to eat a bowl of tofu -__-'') but then Hanso gave half to David. The tofu looked gross after Hanso played with it. Then David ate the rest of my salad and onions and Adam drank my miso soup which had some fish in it o.o Fast forward an hour later and we were standing outside deciding on what to do. I thought the elevator really did breakdown because it stopped and then I blamed it on Jamie. Well Helene, Sarah, Sus, Jamie and Shell went to K and the rest of us went walking around.

Ate at Passion Flower, the one at Town Hall that I never knew existed. Hanson the fatso ordered an ice chocolate on top of his tiramisu without us knowing. The names were funny. I got a "Cookie me up" and David got a "Fill me up". Jen only ordered a lemon tea.

I went high after icecream. Helene can tell you about it LOL Jen didn't finish her lemon tea and this is what happened after we paid and waited for the K-ers to come back outside Passion Flower.

Me: Jenny! You didn't finish your lemon tea!
Jenny: I know.
Me: Why didn't you tell me! I'll go and finish it for you now.

Sigh. The lemon tea was just sitting there on the table too. We decided to walk down because according to David we would meet them. But for some weird reason we managed to pass them without seeing each other. So we had to walk back up again. Oh well, we walked off all that food. Then we did some shopping! I almost dropped a perfume bottle *phew*

Then at night went to eat dinner with Min, David, Hanso and Angela at Hogsbreath Cafe. Car trip there was crazy. MC got new shoes and one of them almost flew out of the car because I grabbed one and held it outside the window next to David's face. Yeah, laughed non-stop at stupid things. When we were walking to the cafe, Min and David started to do weird things to the button at the traffic light... Anyways the prime rib was soooo nice. I finished second ^o^ David finished last lol. The female toilets there are labelled sows HAHAHAH

I was so exhausted from the day that I just went home and slept. I'm going on a youtube spree and I think I am going to get capped NOOOO! But can't stop watching. I just watched a billion clips of SNSD funny moments with YoonA in them. Now I'm watching Family Outing Ep 36. IT'S SO FREAKEN FUNNY!!! esp. Hyori. Okay I'll stop...later. Oh, I just realised I typed a lot. I'll go watch Cinderella Man later. It feels like it's spring/summer. I love this weather!

The Sweetest Sounds

Chalk Illusions

Heylo. I swear, ever since Trials began I have been blogging more often. Is that good or bad? I recommend everyone watch Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella starring Brandy as Cinderella. Very good film. I remember my dad taped it with Hocus Pocus (I thought that movie was scary) before it. Two films in one YEAH! If you watch it you will understand the title of this post :)

Whilst everyone is partying and not making friends with salad, I will be slaving away with the other Japanese, Music, Ancient and something else kids tomorrow in our exams. I feel like sleeping and I am trying to squish all these vocab and kanji into my brain but it's not working very well. I've been learning Chinese at the same time too...courtesy of Lisa. AND you know what I just noticed? Since Hanso has been doing so many mistakes, this blogger thingo highlights your mistakes for you. So I conclude that Hanso is:

1. Very lazy or
2. Blind or
3. Very lazy and blind

My reflex is an average of about 2.7ish. I listened to that virtual haircut the other day and it sounds very realistic, especially the plastic bag. Gives you a tingly feeling.

On another note, I noticed that I've been typing less and posting wayyy too many pictures and photos. So I shall make this a super long blog with pictures dedicated to my Japanese trial. Awww, everytime I look at the toddler and dog picture...it's SOOOO CUTE!!!!!! Also, I want to blow my savings on a billion Asian albums and new releases. Like the Raymond Lam Let's Get Wet Concert DVD and like DBSK Mirotic album and like Big Bang's Japanese album (which doesn't have a name, weirdly enough) and like Tae Yang's HOT album.

What are your plans after trials? Mine is to:

Watch Puzzle, Zettai Kareshi and Gokusen.
Fill out my UAC.
Go eat dinner with pumpkin.
Movies, party and the like.
Finish my notes LOL. I know shush.
Practise speaking for HSC Japanese Speaking which is *drum roll* NEXT WEEK!
And in response to Helene's blog I will make friends with salad.

P.S. This is too funny

5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

KAPOW!

That's how my brain feels like now. Would anyone like to clarify this for me? Does harder applications of Mathematics course mean applying 2U knowledge to 3U things or being assessed on anything 2U eg. superannuation, rates of finance D:

Who has done their UAC thing? Everytime I think about trials I feel ToT

"During this time period, I have been working very hard on the commitment I have for myself, continuously enhancing myself and trying new things. To judge success or failure, that is the audience's decision. If I were to fail, at least I stepped out there with courage and strength and it still serves to be encouraging strength." -- Gillian Chung

SO CUTE! Couldn't resist posting this.

Inverse inverse functions and Wuthering Heights

Spent 4 hours reading Wuthering Heights ever since I came back from tutor and I finished it! It's a bit slow to get into in the beginning but it's so good as you keep reading. So many people die...

Then I studied Maths Ext. 1 doing exercises on inverse functions. I need to stop bludging. I feel like my trials have ended ever since finishing English and Economics on Thursday. That's bad.

After reading Lisa's newest post, I'm unsure about doing commerce now xD But I think I will do it but the UNSW Handbook site is not very aesthetically pleasing to look at. Neither are the ranking percentages.

I shall study like there is no tomorrow, tomorrow!

Here's something addictive to spend your time on.

Reflex Tester

O.M.G. Boggling Matters

Look at this picture and what do you see? Now scroll down and read what it says at the bottom of the picture.

A test to see if your brain is still working.
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black " +" in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot , and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

I want this house!

Happy Birthday Anne BO!

Happy 18th birthday Anne! I bet I know what you wished for :P

Everyone is turning into adults *sigh* Well for those of you who are +18 I hope you don't forget what it was like to be a child and the way you thought about adults.

I have died these past 4 days, 4 times. Stupid trials. Take me as an example and don't study last minute for your Trials (for non-Yr 12s) or HSC unless you want me to go dig a hole for you. I believe I have done incredibly crap for these exams and I know I could've gotten better if I studied earlier. But no point in saying what I could've done because unless someone invents or has a time machine they want to lend, I can't change it ToT *SIGH* Regret, regret, regret. I'm like watching my ranks float away. Now I have 5 days to study for Maths and Japanese. If I do bad in these two, I will be very, very embarrassed.

Oh, I was going into my email inbox and you know how for Hotmail they have the news page. Well there was something about the sexiest men so I clicked on it. And it was a entertainment news post about the CLEO sexiest men voted by people. Guess who won? Robert Pattinson EW To add on top of that was a not very good looking photo for him. But Chace was in it, along with a bunch of oldies and surprise, surprise Zac Efron. And there was some 19 year old model for Burberry in it too.

Anyways, I wanted to post some cool things for people who are bored or have some spare time :)

Okay this thing is soo realistic it's freaky at some parts. Before you click on the link make sure you plug in your earphones into your laptop/computer/netbook/whatever they invent these days, and make sure you're not going to blast your ears off.

Make Me Babies
Haha, okay this is me being curious. Basically you upload a photo of yourself and pick a celebrity/crush. Then voila, a picture of a baby will be produced.

Here's a funny story. I think it's true to an extent. I would go to the final floor out of curiosity haha
For women only (that's the title):
A group of girlfriends is on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: "For Women Only." Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in.

The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. "We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what's inside."

So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: "All the men on this floor are short and plain." The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the second floor reads: "All the men here are short and handsome." Still, this isn't good enough, so the friends continue on up.

They reach the third floor and the sign reads: "All the men here are tall and plain."

They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up.

On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: "All the men here are tall and handsome." The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor.

There they find a sign that reads: "There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman."

Trials have begun *insert evil laugh*

Ext. 2 Mathematics exam is due to end in less than half an hour o: Hope everyone did well! I am supposed to be studying English.

Noticed Manda got Tumblr and I got curious. So I got one too :D It's okay but it's kinda too Twitterish for me. Check out my Tumblr here. (http://iloveicetea.tumblr.com/)


HOW COOL IS THIS BEDROOM!!! It's real btw. The woman is so tiny. The whole room is a bed.

And since our trials is like a memory challenge let's see how old our brains are. Here's a flashgame that calculates your brain age for you. Instructions are in Japanese but here's what you do:

1. Touch "Start"
2. Wait for 3,2,1
3. Memorize the numbers’ position on the screen, and then click the circle from the smallest number to the largest.
4. At the end of the game, the age of your brain will be calculated.

This game was used to demonstrate how chimps have better memories than humans.

I want to calculate my brain age so click me.

EDIT: I did the test and my brain age is 20 ToT I don't know whether this is good or not XD

Ho Hum

I have a gift for everyone in preparation for the trials which start tomorrow! SO, are you like this?
