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

What happens when toddler meets a puppy

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.

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 :)

Virtual Haircut
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.
Make Me Babies

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
