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!
