holidaying like crazy

sup guys.
haven't blogged in AGESSSSSSSS

lets see... what has been happening...?

hmmm i dont know why.. it must be some marketing ploy but all these shops are like "oh sign up now and you'll get a $20 gift voucher"

it was like rebel and borders so i signed up and they sent me my rebel season pass card and i bought this awesum inflatable pool turtle thing that i only needed to pay $5 for after using the voucher.
and the turtle is like massive its awesum!

and then i went to pick up my borders thing and theyre like oh you needed to pick it up before december the 7th or sumthing to get the $20 and i went back home and checked my emails and stuff and i was like dude i signed up AFTER the 7th and there was nothing there about having some deadline so i emailed then and was like RAWR I WANT MY $20 and theyre like OKAY HERE IT IS so now i have to go aaaaaall the way back to parra one day and buy something haha

im such a cheapskate.

oh and i saw this awesum thing at borders its like a mousepad but like one of those elaborately-patterned carpet/rugs
and its sort of carpet material but relli short so its still good for your mouse and stuff

its called like mouse rug or sumthing but it costs like $35 or $45 =O
but it is indeed awesum. i never knew borders had such awesum stuff, like theyre random non-book novelty items are so cool!


oh and cuz i went lattouf as a first time customer they sent me an email and i got a $20 gift voucher from them so now i have TWO $20 gift vouchers YAYYYY

gonna get my eyebrows done before school yay


uhm lets see i havent been doing much except my birthday was on 23rd so i got my licence on friday and had my first driving lesson with my dad today

formal fun fever

thank you everyone for an awesum formal =D
everyone looked either so pretty or so handsome
annnnnnnnd i had a castle towers roll: went there four days in a row.
friday: megamind
saturday: work

sunday i got my nails done at lattouf and seriously, man i love them

click to enlarge:


see how incredibly glittery they are?
well the bottom purple bit is OPI's grape, and the colourful glitter is OPI's mad as a hatter which was part of their alice in wonderland range and seriously i love it sooooooooooo much i was going to buy it but they only have a mini bottle of it.

seriously its SO me dont you think =P


and then on monday i got my hair straightened and then free makeup at the body shop and i was like please dont cake face me i want minimal makeup on rofl

the lady (who im pretty sure was viet cuz her name was mylinh) put pink and grey eyeshadow on and then she told me it was already super light and not much and i looked in the mirror and was like o_o
then asked her to make it more natural ish so she put a little foundation over it and i was like k thats so much better.

also im pretty sure the makeup made me look super asian especially before she put on the foundation over the eyeshadow since it was like quite bright and sparkly and light so then my eyes just looked smaller and my mum said that the makeup enhanced my single eyelidness

but anyway it turned out good in the end =]


formal was seriously so fun except the food was relli quite terrible, but the dessert i guess was quite nice.

thank goodness for my foldable flats because my feet were killing me and even now i still really need a foot massage!!

and actually a body massage too but that can be done later in life =P

foot massage right now pleaseeeeeeeeeee =]


p.s.

quote of the night: chen don: "avada kedavra!" LOL

entrance of the night: chen don of course.

unicorns stumbling in the surf on valentines day

PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWSSSS =]
watch that it seriously is soooooo hilariously me. and the guy is officially my hero cuz he does the awesum face.


anyway i saw valentines day and i thought it was pretty good.
like how theres like an all star cast and how they dont relli elaborate on everyone seeing as theres just toooooo many plotlines and also how everything was all intertwined. cuz im a sucker for stories that are intertwined.

but yeh it was good because it got you thinking of like how a lot of ppl are connected in all sorts of ways which brings me back to that awesum 6 degrees of separation theory (it was part of my genius list: here's the blog just scroll down a bit) where theres this theory that you can get anyone in the world and they are possibly connected to you through 6 people.

but yeh the other thing i said was that they didnt elaborate on each plotline. everything was like so concise yet still informative i think it was quite good =]


also we had our surf school thingo on today and we did bodyboarding and surfing
dude body boarding is seriously the best cuz you dont need that much balance skills and the waves take you sooooooo far it was awesum.

surfing however was a pain in the butt cuz the boards were soooo heavy and weak little me couldnt battle the humungous waves with them, i kept having the surfboard run away from me and once i even got hit by phammies surfboard because there was a massive wave and now you can see a little scab/bruise on my face but it doenst hurt that much so its all good.

anyway after lunch i started getting stomach pains that were like stingy i have a feeling it was gastric and then this massive headache that just lasted for so long (i still have it but its not that bad) but yeh that made the whole thing just stupid. but still. body boarding was the bomb =D


anyway more stumbling:
-fake capsizing boat

-disguise kit

campp

so camp was pretty....uncool.
but wat did we expect, it was only one night, so i guess it was still good for the duration.

the activities my group (ten) did were: initiatives (spider web and skiing), challenge (the wall, the maze and the log balancing), rock climbing and high ropes.
i loved the spiderweb and skiing ones those were seriously the best. and it was so difficult u-turning with the skiis but eventually we owned the other group =D
AND i also (for the first time) finished the rock climbing wall! it felt so good to get up there and ring that bell and then after that i was doing high ropes and i was like oh golly this is madness but i finished it i was so proud 8)

at night we shoved all the mattresses on the floor and all just slept in the center and that was fun cept alice kept going psycho cuz she couldnt find her torch.

oh and in the morning at about 7 i went outside and saw a turkey! i was like WOW thats amazing. it was truly awesum because ive never seen a turkey before except for in cartoons

the one thing i didnt like about this camp was the food. like seriously dinner and breakfast were sooooooo terrible. the lunches were okay but yeh compared to the rest of the meals and snacks they were just PURE TORTURE.

cheap imax tickets

HEY so does anyone want cheap imax tickets?
$15 each otherwise it would be like $20.50 for a child or $24.50 for a student
SO it's worth it! its like the same price, maybe even cheaper, as a regular cinema but the quality is so much better!

harry potter 7 is out in imax and i think ONLY imax has it in 3d so you can go use the tickets there.
the tickets i have are vouchers so you need to book the session in person but i can ask my bro to do that when he goes to uni
just give me the details (session, seats) and money and i will sort it out for you

LET ME KNOW cuz i kinda need to get rid of these tickets...

OH and also it CANNOT be a session thats within the first week of a movies release.

and the directing was relli odd too...and some scenes were so lack of music and yeh...
haha anyway, i most likely wont be watching that again...


so i heard on the news that krispy kreme is closing soon so i was like wow ive never had krispy kreme before and my bro and a lot of others said that original glaze was relli relli good so i was like I HAVE TO TRY IT BEFORE THEY CLOSE

Monday 25 October 2010

dancing, shopping, bleeding and msn

so friday was spring fling, which i might say was quite the awesum!
gosh how loud was it in the tlc but i just fell in love with the lasers
they made images in the air and were like ahhh so pretty.
and the fireworks!!! they were so pretty and i loved the ones that were like all spirally and then dissipated(?) into nothing.
but yeh. very fun night, definitely coming next year!


sunday went formal dress shopping at the city with alice, joyce and pamela, because angie and jessica were like oh its too rainy im not going anymore.
so that was pretty lame butttt it was a fun day.
mainly beause we ate so much food.
seriously no one bought anything to do with formal. we spent most of our time and money eating. at the end we went lindt cafe and had their icecream and i bought 6 macaroons: chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, strawberry, pistachio and passionfruit.
im planning on eating one a day otherwise id get too fat.

SPEAKING OF FAT. apparently you can only give blood if your over 50kg. waaaaaaaat thats so sad. cuz i weigh between 46-48kg so... ughhhhhhhh thats so lame.

SPEAKING OF BLOOD. this morning i had a massive bleeding nose o_o
like i dont think ive ever had one that went for this long but i reckon it went for between 30-45 minutes. i lost SO MUCH BLOOD. it was disgusting rinsing out my handkerchiefs. throughout the day i just felt so light and weak. like i still cant relli feel my hands properly and sometimes my legs get weak.
i guess you DO need to be over 50kg to lose a lot of blood...
hmmm...
but i mean if you weigh less than 50kg cant they just draw less blood from you? gosh.

WAIT i just checked the site and the requirements are:
weigh more than 45kg (16-17 year olds need to weigh more than 50kg)
thats good. so if i still weigh the same then i can donate blood when im 18.


BTW how lame is the new msn layout.
1) i dont know how to change my display name so that it can have characters in it
2) i cant see other peoples display names because most of them are just like Bob Smith or something like that
3) no offline chat
4) msn plus doesnt work so i can't see colours
5) when you widen up your contacts list the list automatically arranges itself into columns, i mean surely theres got to be an option to turn that on or off

the only plus side is that the emoticons are awesum!
see look:



how awesum is that!! LOVE THE NINJA

=D

new lifelong goal:

more stumbling:
-real life kwik-e-mart!!

hmm does anyone else feel like the days are going by just SO SLOWLY?!?! really have not done much productivity over the last week.
got chuck and how i met your mother off fiona so i shall be hardcore rewatching that XD
i saw the first ep of chuck and its not THAT great, but everyone says it will get better so lets hope it does.

oh yeh and i have MASSIVE ocd when it comes to naming things on the computer so for chuck season 1, every ep was named in the same format, but then for season 2 they were different and some randomly had episode titles and others didnt and so i went through every single one and changed the title so they were all the same. did that for season 3 as well and himym all 5 seasons!
i even went on the net to check up the episode titles...
wow im so...ocd.


wednesday i got a new phone: alcatel ot-808
it looks so much like a makeup mirror thing its hilarious
and because its square i keep forgetting which way to open it and because the text on the front is on a diagonal you keep thinking it opens diagonally but it doesnt =O
its so tricky.

Friday 15 October 2010

omgsh i simply must have this just for the sake of having it.

best kids bedroom design EVER man i wanna paint my room. its so plain.



SO thursday we were like woot end of yearlies lets go celebrate so we invited like everyone to watch THE OTHER GUYS with us, and were like yay this is gonna be awesum!

it ended up to be just me ken and justin in the cinema.
and i kid you not we were the only people there.

haha wow.

Tuesday 12 October 2010

math teacher pranks. these are awesum pranks by a maths teacher. gosh why arent any of our teachers like that. i would actually look forward to maths =P

speaking of maths.(maths -> school -> yearlies)

one question:
was the 2+ weeks of hardcore studying really worth 4 days of exams?

well for me i studied about 3 weeks before the test
spent like 1 week on year 9 science, which gosh i feel like it was such a waste of time.
and most people dont even have 4 days of exams.

but seriously, science is the gayest thing to study for.
3/4 of the stuff you study for, doesnt even get tested!
thats so lame.
i feel like ive wasted my time. especially when we were all just sitting there for that last hour ==

but then again, if you dont study that much, you wont know enough for the test cuz your knowledge isnt as broad.

but still its so lame.

and my golly im starting to relli hate that exam centre. why is it so white. and the walls are naked. gosh. it should be colourful!! =P

anyway, ive already vented most of my anger, so ill leave this as a happy place. dont forget to check out those stumble sites =P

Sunday 10 October 2010

pre-term, pre-exams

ugh so before exams lets blogggg
mainly cuz i havent blogged in ages!!

mmk so these holidays have been filled with lots of study and neglection of the outside world, so that means lots of sleeping in, eating and exercising (i hit 20 minutes of the 12sec/8sec thing yesterday =D)


but yes other than that there was...hmm despicable me which i talked about... and virginia and angies birthday party. which was pretty cool. played with glowsticks at the end. and angie's present from us turned out awesum! (thanks jaewoo)

and yeh.

pretty much all of my two weeks.


oh wait we bought my dad a suit using his $400 gift card at myer.

it was such a nice suit, and it was in the harry kewell section of myer when you first walk in on the second level and its sightly on the left. and yeh its like black with this sort of silvery sheen, its relli noice =]

but yes. sigh. after the yearlies we're gonna be FREEEE and then
SPRING FLING!!
and time for me to do SHOE SHOPPING for formal!!


oh yeh there was also soul purpose train and plan. that was pretty exciting, kenny invited lots of ppl from other schools so yeh it was pretty hectic =]


my gosh i seriously cannot wait until friday.
so ive basically got science and english down for tomoro
maths i guess theres only so much i can do atm but yeh i think im alright, just gotta get used to drawing graphs with rulers =P
geo and hist... they dont relli matter but im studying a little bit for it. geo is relli vague so yeh not relli studying it. hist only studying this terms stuff cuz the rest wont be tested that much.
pd and pass not even going to bother
cooking im just gonna wing it cuz i cbb practicising to make pasta mainly cuz i havent gotten a hold of a pasta machine.


um i really dont have much to say.
hope you guys enjoyed your holidays, hope you either took these exams seriously and studied real hard OR didnt care and didnt study at all. =P
there is no middle ground!
nah i hope you guys didnt take them too seriously, but i guess thats easier said than done. i went a bit crazy for a while but now if i dont know something im just like "oh well".


Do not
be anxious about
anything,

but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to
God.

chloe: blooming
yi shing: a fringed water lily which does not soil even growing out of a muddy pool
lim: forest

haha so chloe lim means blooming forest. how awesum does that sound. and my middle names just make me even more awesum.


ive been stumbling yet again:
-did you know that all ducks wear dog masks? thats awesum. never will i be the same. what has been seen cannot be unseen! haha

-ingenious solutions for super spies with super secrets. awesum stuff. i wish i had all these. not cuz i want to hide anything, but cuz its just awesum.

-amazing gymnast pulls off an amazing sequence of flips. yes it is amazing.

-cool comic. i really liked this. gives us all a reality check cuz they actually are true.

-mapping stereotypes. i didn't get half of the stuff there, but the half i did get...hilarious.

-hilarious picture

-Our universe is just a single cell in the brain of a Titan. so true, so true.

-photography. but its not so much the photos, more of the concept behind them. check it out.

-get ready for summer with this awesum grass chair!

-awesum photography

-cardboard house. the guy made this mock house entirely out of cardboard and drew on them to give the photos a cartooney feel.

evidence of stumbling

if you have 10 minutes to spare, please see this video. its totally worth the 10 minutes. if you arent amazed within 1 minute, then do not bother. but trust me, you will be amazed =]

basically the guy, rueben margolin, is a kinetic sculptor, so he makes moving sculptures. they are sooooo awesum. totally uncomputerised, he works everything out himself and uses pulleys and levers to move it. gosh its sooo complex its amazing. i really love the spiral flower thing at about 1:15 in that video.

this is his website.

and gosh. look at the waves gallery, it is just amazing. this guy is sooo awesum.


this video is hilarious.

its irish hand dancing, like irish dancing, cept with the hands and therefore automatically more awesum and hilarious.


this site has pictures of this tower that looks wrinkled or like its crumpling, gosh its awesum.


fascinating underground homes


awesum warping illusion.


amazing pictures of eyes. who knew eyes looked like that on closeup?!?!


on saturday i was in the car and i looked right and guess wat i saw?
this car with the side of it (i.e. the doors and stuff) metallic purple and the front and back of it metallic green. i was like ohmygosh thats an awesum car. then THEN (and this will blow your mind) the car sped up and slowly, from the front part of the side of the car, the purple CHANGED TO GREEN. then THEN THE GREEN ON THE BOOT CHANGED TO PURPLE.

i was like



honestly it was....AMAZING. i was just...gosh. after the 5 seconds of just staring at the car after it passed i was like

".............heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey...."


haha oh so recently i heard from pamela, actually i heard this before but i forgot about it, that the best way to exercise is the 8/12 interval thing.
basically its like you run/cycle watever and for 8 seconds you sprint and for 12 you go at a slower, relaxing pace. so 8 seconds hard core intensity then 12 recovery. your meant to do this like for 20 minutes, ive done this twice each under like 10 minutes hahaha but yeh it kills your legs (thighs burrrrrrn)

so hopefully i shall keep this up and build it up to 20 minutes and lose weight! woooot


okay today i saw:



booyeh.

haha it was pretty awesum. quite the hilarious but i dont think it was THAT great.
hmmmm i think up was definitely better than that, and toy story 3 maybe better.
so if up is 9.5/10,
toy story 3 is 9/10,
despicable me is within the range of 8.75/10 to 9/10
hahaha yes, its gotten so tricky to rate i decreased my increments to 0.25
=P

but yes hahaha you must watch =]
its actually very good.

Monday 20 September 2010

yet another.

another incident at work:

this woman (person a) orders like 3 cappuccinos, and the woman before her (person b), ordered like a cap, flat white and latte, making 3 altogether.

person a asked hers to have here and person b to take away.

so person b's drinks are ready and i call them out. and person a comes out and is like OMGSH NOOO I ASKED FOR THEM IN CUPS, NOT IN THE TAKEAWAY ONES NOOOO WHY DID YOU PUT THEM IN TAKEAWAY CUPS. HOW CAN I EVEN TELL WHICH ONE IS WHICH (even tho it was written on the cups which one was which) and im like did you order the flat white, latte and cap? and she totally ignores me even though i was pretty sure she didnt order that, and shes like OMGSH to her friends THEY PUT IT IN TAKEAWAY. I ORDERED TO HAVE HERE. then im like, im sorry do you want us to make them again? and shes like OHMYGOODNESS I DONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TIME UGHHHHHHH and her friends are like all stressing out.

and then person b comes up and is like oh those are mine. and then person a is like OH. SO YOU HAVENT EVEN DONE MY DRINKS YET HUH? *death glare* and im like im sorry, they'll be coming out soon. and shes like OHMYGOODNESS THEY HAVENT EVEN DONE OUR DRINKS YET, totally disregarding the fact that she fully was being rude to me, not even apologising that she was mistaken about her drinks.

then her drinks come out and she takes them and spends like AGES sitting with her friends at the table talking. so much for not having enough time yeh?

gosh, i mean i dont mind if you get aggro if i accidentally wrote takeaway instead of have here (we would still remake them for you and you wouldnt have to pay) but i didnt even get this mixed up. you automatically assumed that that was yours, you were so rude to me and totally death glared me and the lady who's order that actually was. honestly, why stress out man. chillax, take a deep breath, smile and preferablye apologise to the worker who you scared to death. everyone was happy by the end of it so why stress out? there was absolutely no gain in panicking like you did.

Saturday 18 September 2010

work rant

hmmm there hasnt been much going on lately, except that gradelove has died.

today i worked a massive shift, 10-6 and the gayest thing ever. i had my lunch break at 3. ==
so retarded. i hate some of those customers. they like have no idea wats going on. seriously if you're going to come to live here, learn english for goodness' sake!
i do not want to spend 10 minutes trying to explain the concept of YES you DO have to still pay when it's a buy 1 get 1 free voucher. i don't want to spend 10 minutes listening to you speak chinese when clearly, no one understands wat you are saying. i don't want to spend 10 minutes trying to tell you that when you pick up your cake, just say your name and the type of cake and they will get it for you.

honestly. its so frustrating.

and i hate it when i say HI ARE YOU ALRIGHT THERE to customers who are looking at the thing, and then they look up, make eye contact with you and look down again. then they walk away, when i could have been serving another person. at least have the courtesy to smile or nod or wave a hand at me or LET ME KNOW if i can serve the other customers waiting! seriously. i greet you with the biggest smile you have ever seen and you cannot bother to do anything? then you simply walk away from the shop!?

sheesh.

its also so weird how many times ppl will come back to have coffee. seriously i saw some customers several times a day. i was like i just served that person 2 hours ago, wat on earth is happening.

and gosh. my boss raised the coffee prices by 20c. its so weird. i have to refrain myself from saying the old prices and then i have to manually type in the prices instead of just hitting the S, R or L buttons because their values have not been changed yet. and then customers give me that look like *sheesh why is it so expensive, are you ripping me off* and then i feel bad.


but on the bright side. i had lunch at that 'more than a sandwich' cafe outside coles, next to midori, opposite muffinbreak, and i had a chicken schnitzel sandwich and boy was it good =]

lalala

i forgot to tell you in my last post that when we were in the centre point tower, on the same level as the kitchens and the storage room, there was a rat running on the floor. O_O


okay well saturday was my dads birthday so we got him turkish delight, a cake, and yeh were gonna get him a suit.

oh yeh. golly. saturday was HECTIC at work. like honestly. SO MANY PEOPLE. it was crazy. its so funny though how people only go out when its father's day. i mean sheesh, you should spend more bondage time with your fathers even when its not father's day. just not at michel's. i dont want to serve you.


i am soooo happy and on top of my assignments. i've FINISHED geo and english speech and english essay (even though its the most dodgiest thing in the world), so all i need is science group assignment (which all we need to do is just write the speech and that'll be so easy)

so YAY. so happy i can chillax. well not really, gotta study for yearlies. oh im so confuzzled as to what im supposed to study in the year 9 science topics. honestly, am i meant to go into great detail, or is it just a brief thing where its like a basic overview of things?

because seriously, i hated in sickness and health and astronomy. those were my two worst subjects everrrrr. oh yeh, and nuclear energy. and WHY are we starting a new science topic? i dont wanna know about ecosystems and stuff. wattheheck.


okay, well yeh apart from that, variety night was pretty awesum. daniel quinn blows my mind hes so insane and we have officially convinced him to go into australias got talent =]

annnnnnd variety night has inspired me; i want to perform at least once next year, singing in like a group or something, and then slowly work my way up to a solo? i dunno. but yeh ive been told to do it at creative arts fest first cuz no one goes to that haha


oh and in celebration of julia guillard's win, 7/11 are giving out free slurpees to redhead rofl. lauren, you know wat that means!


oh and from catering for art show, a thought sprung up: remember how i said i want to be my own boss? and own my own business? and have it food related? how awesum would it be if i owned my own catering service! gosh thatd be terrific. lol

maybe i can get a job at a catering place during uni =D


OH and also you know wat i really want? a lord of the rings ring, THE ring, with elvish on it that only appears when heated =O

HOW AWESUM WOULD THAT BE?!?!

Thursday 2 September 2010

SPRING

new lifelong goal:
-tap dance

awesum sites (i know, theres a lot but they are all very good):
-the greatest list of the hottest coffee mugs
-the quest for every beard type
-30 excellent examples of infrared photography
-88 brilliant examples of forces perspective photography
-55 random thoughts of people our age
-if historical events had facebook statuses

-amazing parkour, the end of this is SO funny
-quote by woody allen
-awesumly unconventional music
-tone matrix turn up your speakers and randomly click! and then you can make your own "composition", right click -> copy, paste it to someone and they can paste it into their thing and listen... omgsh its genius.

if theres any of the above that you NEED to see, its the last two =], but check the others out too. if you dont have enough time just check the last four ones because the others are lists/series of photos and might take a while =]


wednesday was a good day.
the start of spring, a change in weather, a good school bludge, and I GOT MY BRACES OFF! yayyyyyy
so happy!
although it WAS a bit slimy at the beginning i soon got used to it. it just felt so weird when they were scraping off the glue and fully putting all this pressure on my front teeth, i thought they were going to cave in.

but yesss after that as a celebration my mum bought me two melting moments from gloria jeans (chocolate and lemon) and then a jacket =]
it feels so good to not have to get your tongue to do a search party for lost bits of food in the metal cages of your braces. sooo good.

OH and not to mention my mum bought me a watermelon =]


thursday.
cooking excursion to centre point tower was....okay.
the so-called tour of the kitchens was just like a tour of the storage room and one kitchen which looked like they werent even doing anything in there. not to mention the kitchens and storerooms looked SO PLAIN. if i were the boss i would fully renovate and paint the walls all colourful and stuff. it felt like, gosh it felt terrible to be in there. there was absolutely no life.

then when we had lunch at the top with the buffet, the buffet wasn't even that good. i mean wattheheck. nothing was that special that could make you say omgsh that was so good i'm coming back for more. all people want to see is the view because the thing revolves, but i mean, at least provide us with good food to accompnay the nice view with! the desserts were okay, but tasted quite weird and were really small and overall they didnt have that much of variety.

next time i go there, i'm going to the fine dining level. thats the one where you get to order wat you want and its more expensive, but it'll definitely be more worth it.

OH YEH. sheesh. i judge places on their toilets, and centre point tower is TERRIBLE. like honestly their toilets are so cramped and totally not hygienic and they look dirty and grace said when she flushed the toilet it kinda overflowed before going back down again. O_O

but yes, in the morning i introduced jaewoo to affogatos and then we were full sharing it around and yes. affogatos are relli good. is it sad that the 'good' thing about the day was not even part of wat was planned?

centre point tower: i am very disappointed in your buffet.


fact 10. this is my last one, because its too bothersome to think of facts for myself, so i'll make it an especially good fact about myself. well not good; interesting.

i sometimes think i dont deserve this life. as you all know, i am extremely picky and stubborn and take everything for granted (except for the most minute, unimportant things there are). this life is too good for me and as a result it kind of makes me a sour person because im constantly expecting better things. thats why i think i am so picky with things and cannot be pleased unless i get my own way, i was raised up in a world where our wants can be easily fulfilled.

honestly, i think i deserve the times when there were wars, shortages in food, the great depression and "when there was no tv". honestly i think those things give you such a punch in the face that after that, you appreciate your life and not a lot of people sincerely appreciate wat they have now. its sad that people only have a complete change in their mindset when something drastic happens, like a near-death experience, but we all cant rely on that to make us change our minds. we should all be happy of our lives and think back to the times that were tough, not tough as in "omgsh 10 assignments to do", but tough as in "omgsh will i have food to eat tonight?"

nails 101

i believe i am the master of all things nail-related. here are some things that i ALWAYS do or that i just read on the net to do. oh, if your not interested in nails scroll down about me lucid dreaming =D

broken nail:
but a snippet off a teabag large enough to cover the area that has been broken. lay it on top of your nail and then paint over it with clear nail polish. it might sting a bit when its drying, but once dried you can file your nail down so it looks better
this is absolutely amazing. the teabag goes clear so it doesnt look dodgy, and it fully strengthens your nails and now they dont hurt or snag onto clothes anymore.

chipped nail:
same thing as the above, but this time fold the teabag underneath the white part of your nail, so it strengthens and there is no chance of your nail breaking

peeled nail:
you know when the top layer of the nail comes off, or when the nail is chipped and from that chip is peels off, revealing this ugly little useless nail?
just use a buffer and file it down. if the buffer is to weak, lightly use a nail filer just to sort of smooth it out, then use the buffer. the nail will be relli thin so use nail polish over it if you want.

messy nail job:
when you paint your nails and then get it all over your surrounding skin, just grab a toothpick and a cotton ball. take some of the fibres from the cotton ball out with the toothpick so that the fibres wrap around the tip of it. then dip it in nail polish remover and then remove the paint on your skin.

diy nail art:
if you dont have a small nail brush, then just use a toothpick and make it sort of blunt on the end, otherwise it looks like its really scratchy. but dont make it too blunt otherwise it just looks stupid, it depends on how thick you want your lines to be.

dry skin around nails:
use cuticle oil. honestly cuticle oil is like my best friend.
because its oil, you dont even need to use that much, 1 drop is enough for two fingers, then have one drop separately for each thumb. you have to fully massage it into the skin, then let it sit for some time.
it feels a bit icky and stuff, but then after that you can wash it off then immediately put on hand lotion. do this like everyday until your hands are beautiful, then i think your meant to use it less...my cuticle oil says recommended treatment is once a week...hmmm...


friday morning i lucid dreamt.
second time.
(yay)
i was walking up to some shops along this pathway that had quite a few steps. then i looked down at my hands, and i read before that usually in your dreams you have more or less fingers than usual. so i looked down at my hands (i dont know why) and then my hands were quite blurry and my left hand had extra fingers so i was like =O im dreaming.

then i tried thinking of things to do, and then my dream went quite blurry. i read before that thats because your brain wants to wake up, and all you need to do is tell your brain to keep you in the dream. so i basically said to myself. stop. keep me in the dream. dont wake me up. keep me here. and then it went less faded, and by this time i was in the shopping centre.

one of the shops was covered like when shops are covered for construction. so then i was like omgsh i want to walk through walls. so then i ran up to the white covering things (which now turned to glass) but i didnt go through it, i just stopped. and then i was like mmk ill jsut walk through it. so i walked up to it and pressed myself against it. then i eased through it as if it was jelly, and then i was inside. and i basically just kept doing that for some time.

then i was like i wanna climb a mountain! so i walked through a wall then i was on top of a mountain. then the dream went relli blurry and i was like nononononono. but then my dream ended, although i didnt wake up. so i think my dream cycle ended, and i went into a deeper sleep, thats why the dream wasnt that clear to me, it is still relli faded even though i was lucid.


fact 9. i get over my problems extremely quickly.
although the process may be extremely dramatised and i would just feel like nothing, i do actually get over my problems relli fast. i think its because i dont even consider my problems actual problems. im fifteen, wat sort of problems is life going to give me?

my problems are nothing compared to the world's problems. there are people out there suffering so much more than i am, so i just think to myself: whats the point of me crying over spilt milk when theres a billion more cartons of where that milk came from. others wouldnt even have extra milk, that was the last milk they had and they spilt it; they deserve to cry over it.

just remember when youre feeling sad: there are millions of people out there worse off than you are.

Thursday 26 August 2010

sunday, monday happy days...

...tuesday, wednesday happy days
thursday friday happy days
THE WEEKEND COMES...


new videos:
Best Illusion Ever
Rachmaninov had big hands

i love this pic (serves them right for having those disgusting ear things)

CLICK!!!
its the home that i visited last week at work exp, and i was there when they took the photos of it, and i helped choose the photos and which order they went in, and also i helped write the description! =]


stuff this week:

monday.
i had massive cramps so didnt go to school.
as i was lying in bed, helplessly in the foetal position, i couldn't help but think: why OH WHY did eve have to eat that forbidden fruit?! honestly, if it weren't for her, women wouldnt have pains and everything during their periods or during pregnancy. gosh.

tuesday.
came back to school and wat happened? i got bombarded with all these assignments.
luckily ive already finished some and have written up a study outline for me to do so i can finish everything on time and without stress.

wednesday.
last day of touch for EVER!
and wat a way to end the season: with a broken nail.
i was just standing there and my finger stung (like when a needle pokes it) then i looked at it and it was fully bleeding!
i was like wat!!?!
its still hanging there, like the actual nail is completely separated from the rest of the nail, but its still attached to the flesh at the bottom and keeps snagging onto clothes/material when i change/shower/sleep.

also had my ortho appointment and my ortho told me im getting them off next wednesday!! YAYYYYYY
this is my last colour ever! (bright green)
yayyyyy im so happy

thursday.
i had an experiment with myself.
i was in the shower and avoided doing anything with my left hand cuz of my broken nail (yes i am typing without my left index-it feels weird)
and that got me thinking...how will i survive if i had my left arm chopped off?
so then from then on i did everything with my right arm only.
lets jsut say it was extremely difficult drying myself, putitng my clothes on and especially opening doors when you have a pile of clothes in your arms.
oh not to mention trying to open my moisturiser bottle LOL

but yes, it was very interesting and so instead of that short half hour, tomoro i will try my hardest not to use my left arm in anything (except the history class test we have and pd)
man, this will turn out so interesting....i might forget actually...


fact 8. i love and hate compliments.
im sure everyone loves compliments right?
what with my low self esteem, i sure love them.
but then again, i hate them.
honestly im not used to having true compliments that spring out of nowhere and are sincerely honest. i just dont know how to respond to them.
this is basically how it goes:
"hey *insert compliment here*"
"huh?...oh right...uhm...okay..."
and then i forget to say thank you!
and then later im like ohmygosh i was so rude i didnt thank them!!
and then im like WAT IF THEY THINK IM RUDE
and then i get all worried. haha

but honestly sometimes i feel when i say thank you im like agreeing to it, and i may seem stuck up so i dunno... i never feel comfortable with responding to compliments.

Sunday 22 August 2010

dear school: please just die in a hole.

new lifelong goal:
-arrive and leave my wedding in a vintage car

gosh i have a lot dont i?


i was stumbling (on stumbleupon) and look at these videos omgsh they are mindblowing:
-Expanding Table
-Awesome Rhythmic Gymnast
-Streep Tap Dancing
-Sculpting Demo
-Crazy Accordian
-Vader Dances to Hammer You Can't Touch This

honestly go click on those RIGHT NOW cuz they are insane.
if you get impatient with the street tap dancing, go to 2 minutes in cuz they do an awesum synchronised section =] and the last one is especially awesum.

also from stumbleupon:




awesum, am i right?


haha my dad got a $400 myer gift card from his company, rheem, cuz hes been working there for 20 years. so were probably gonna go get him a suit or sumthing =]


i was doing my food tech assignment, which requires to make a package for your "product" so i got this piece of laminating paper before it is put in the machine, and i you guys have never seen it before then its like glossy on the outside and on the inside its kind of translucent.

i put sticky tape on the inside and the bit that i put sticky tape on turned transparent. i was like WATTHEHECK. then i told my mum and she said its the very fine powder that they put on the sheets.

BUT then i rip off the sticky tape and ITS BACK TO BEING TRANSLUCENT.
i dont know about you guys, but i am just GOING CRAZY over the science behind this.


fact 7. i am terrified of failure.
honestly, i know nobody wants to fail, but seriously. if i do something, chances are i wont tell anyone about it unless they ask, just incase i fail at it. even if its something that i wasnt expected to succeed in, i still dont tell anyone, because i dont want to get embarrassed or anything.

ive always seen myself as quite organised and i think about the future alot, mainly me being successful and getting a new job and being able to do the things i want. but i guess i never really thought about wat i would do if i failed in my goals. i wanna be my own boss, wat if my business goes broke? i wanna do something in the food industry, wat if im not good enough? i dont want to be stuck in an office for the rest of my life, but wat if theres nothing else out there for me?

you hear so many stories about people not doing the job they love. my supervisor at lj hooker told me her dream job was to work with animals, preferably rspca. but she couldnt afford tot ake that risk because she really needed money to look after her kids then as her kids grow older, she gets busier and busier and cant go into that area anymore, thats just really sad. i dont want to turn out like that.

i never want to regret the choices or actions i make in my life. i never want to fail myself, i wouldnt be able to live with it.

Friday 20 August 2010

do not wanna go to school.

okay so lately ive been reading ps i love you in the office because theres not much for me to do. hmmm, i guess its alright but the language is relli simple and in layman's terms, really.

i just hate it how adult fiction ALWAYS has to have swearing or sexual references, innuendos, implications, or phrases. honestly, SO UNECESSARY. its as if nothing sells unless its got profanity and sex in it. wattheheck thats not even true. when people recommend books they dont say "omgsh it's such a good book. so many swear words in there, your GONNA LOVE IT"

nobody does that. its stupid.


anyway last day of work experience today. my mum's cousin finally came back from her holiday so i got to chat with her a little. fridays the sales people have a meeting in the morning so when i got there at 9 i just read a bit. the meeting went from like 8.15-9.30 so when everyone came out at 9.30 they went to have a look at these two houses that are newly listed, and i tagged along.

the first one: omgsh, such a noice house. honestly, it was so beautiful and modern it was just. omgsh. =]
the second one was still under construction but the structure of it i guess was alright. there were plenty of rooms, except they were all really small, it felt claustrophobic.

but yeh it was cool. then there was nothing to do so i read. then did some alphabetising and filing, lunch at rouse hill again cuz the guy that drove me on...wednesday... drove me again. this time i was like OKAY IM GONNA BE HEALTHY and i ate sumo salad and watermelon juice, but then at about 4 i got REALLY HUNGRY so i hate chicken chippees... *sigh* i shouldve bought a hot chocolate, that wouldve filled me up.

after that finished some filing, prepped some signs for an auction which is on tomoro, then ebuddied and i was off!

so sad, i was just beginning to befriend everyone! and i really dont want to go to school anymore. honestly its so gay. all these assignments, im SO not in the mood.


fact 6. i judge people.
a lot.

if i've met you, i've judged you. sorry about that... haha
but yeh honestly. i judge people a lot based on their looks and personality. i know im not perfect myself and i have no right to judge others but i cant help it. if i think someones...bad then theres not much that can change my mind.

yeh but not just looks, its like their attitude or watever, and sometimes when someone does something im like "oh didnt think they were that type of person" then my whole perception of them just changes. its really bad. sometimes when i see scary looking people i think their gonna be mean to me or they hate me, but then mostly their actually really friendly, i was just basing it on their facial features.

but obviously i dont speak my judgments out. omgsh that reminds me, i always thoguth judgments was spelt with an 'e' (judgements), up until like this year, when it went red on microsoft word.

ANYWAY, yeh sometimes when ppl are like "omgsh shes SO pretty", if i dont agree then i either keep quiet or say "no shes not", depending on who the person is. but when i say i disagree, it doesnt mean i think the persons ugly. i just dont think shes pretty. like...average. although sometimes im like "oh shes pretty, but not that pretty" or "oh shes... alright... like average?"

and then everyones like *gasp* =O "are you serious?!?! oh my gosh chloe, your SO JUDGMENTAL. YOUR STANDARDS ARE SO HIGH."

like wattheheck! where does it say that i have to think everyone is pretty! im sure whoever says that thinks others are not that pretty either. but yeh, i guess i am really jugding, but then again, most people are, not to generalise or anything. and im not saying i hate it when people say that i am really judgmental, i mean i know i am, but i think secretly we all are.


ugh, great work exp is over.
back to the prison of our lives: school.

Thursday 19 August 2010

receptionist on day 4

but yes, ive answered a few phone calls already...actually two. oh gosh. and i have to do this till 12... thats 2 and a half more hours.

Wednesday 18 August 2010

excitement

this morning i lucid dreamt for like a brief second.
wat happened was
i woke up in bed and the lights were on. then i turned the switch off but the light was still on and i kept flicking the switch. then i looked at the alarm and tried to turn the light on, but it wouldnt turn on and then i remembered that in dreams the light settings stay the same and so i was like OH MY GOSH IM DREAMING. then i literally rolled out of bed and onto the floor. and i saw there going. omgsh i can control stuff. wat should i control? but then this massive pain went through my face and i tried to think of things to pop up but then i woke up.

after that i slept and then dreamt that i told everyone that i lucid dreamt it was AWESUM except the second dream wasnt lucid. but still. this is exciting. hopefully this will be the start of a gloriously lucid adventure.


day 3. really exciting (kinda)
one guy took me to look through a house with two customers and yeh basically we went in turned the main lights on, he tried to tell them good stuff about the house and they were relli interested. it was a house in quakers hill but it was really nice cuz it was just renovated, and apparently usually quakers hill houses are dodgy as.

then after that he took me to rouse hill for lunch and his fiance's parents own a sandwich shop there (the one on the edge of the food court- forgot wat it was called) but yeh he gets his sandwiches for free cuz their in-laws. so i tried one of the chicken schnitzel sandwiches and MY GOSH it was extremely nice. hold on ill see if i can get the name of it.

ahh k, went on the website. its called fancy fillings. its relli good there. maybe check it out some time.

hmm and then after that went back in the office for like 10 minutes and then we went to another house to do the photoshoots for it. and gosh, that woman that owns the house is just crazy. shes so loud and omgsh seems like shes permanently angry. ugh she scared the life out of me.

after that, went back to the office and helped the guy write his description for the house. haha so funny cuz we spent ages trying to rephrase a line.
thennnn did some filing and every other time i was free i just sat there and read diary of anne frank (which i eventually finished- finally!) and went on the computer.

but yes. very good and im super full at the moment. oh yeh from fancy fillings i also got a chocolate milkshake regular size cuz i thought the small was too small but then oh golly, i was like dying. i was just like man. i cannot. finish. gahhh
but yeh
it was good


fact 5. i love change. (kinda like my fact 3- me having commitment issues)
basically thats why im open to doing arts in uni, because you change the subject every semester since arts is basically a degree on everything.
i luv change because i love learning new things and get a massive adrenaline rush when i walk into something new. i dunno, a lot of people hate change, but i really love it.

i know im like a perfectionist and like things to be done a certain way but i also like changing the way i do things. so like instead of always doing A to get a B result, sometimes i'd do it the C way or the R way and then go back to A for a while then G or sumthing. yehh i like my changes. =]

work experience is an AWESUM change for me.

oh yeh and now that i'm done with diary of anne frank, im gonna start p.s. i love you =]


diary of anne frank (novel) quotes
I wander from room to room, climb up and down the stairs and feel like a songbird whose wings have been ripped off and who keeps hurling itself against the bars of its dark cage. 'Let me out, where there's fresh air and laughter!' a voice within me cries.
-------
Why do people have so little trust in one another? I know there must be a reason, but sometimes I think it's horrible that you can't ever confide in anyone, not even those closest to you.
-------
I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
-------
There's a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start all over again!
-------
It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

it's relli sad when you read some of her plans for the future because you know that in the end she actually gets captured and died in the camps. ugh so sad =[ she had such great writing skills for a 13-15 year old! honestly its amazing.

Tuesday 17 August 2010

day 2

currently i am in the lj hooker office with nothing to do so i decided to blog.

hmm. second day. wat did i do?
first i labelled the home pictorial magazines, shoved home listings into it and then put them on display. did that for SO many magazine its not even funny. my hands were like super dry but not as dry as yesterday when i had to fold all those papers and handle all those envelopes, that was insanity.

then one of the managers took me to the kellyville branch and right next to it theres a pet shop so we went there because shes in love with the shop and wanted me to see it since ive never seen it before and guess who i saw?!

eunice!! haha i walked in and saw her and i was like "dude... i KNOW her. omgsh its eunice" rofl and we chatted a bit (hi eunice, if your reading =P)

but yes cuz the boss of lj hooker here (my mum's cousin, whos currently on holidays) loves dogs and we saw this pram-type thing for dogs that we reckoned she would buy and it was so cute, but im not a fan of pets so i wasnt THAT interested in them. and then the manager took me to the bird place and wow, some birds were SO CUTE and ADORABLE and COLOURFUL it was amazing, cept none of them were talking, even when the manager tried to talk to them. =[

came back and did some gullotining (? dunno spelling) for stuff to go in magazines so i did that. went on my break and i had these awesumly lovely fish cocktails with a gj iced chocolate that was extremely cold.

after my lunch trudy (the manager that took me to kellyville) took me to the woodcroft franchise and then when we came back there was absolutely nothing for me to do so i read a bit of anne frank and im NEARLY finished, and then i ended up here because i am extremely bored.


today, for the first time in wat seemed like ages, i remembered my dream. it was a relli weird dream. me, bro and mum went to church and ironically were planning on planting bombs in the car via our mobile phones (i know wattheheck?) and then i was like "oh its not even gonna kill anyone, its so small its just a phone" and my mums like "don't worry, it'll kill someone". basically, in a short summary, that was the dream i had. other stuff went on but now that i think of it WATTHEHECK why were we planting bombs outside my church!?


fact 4. my low self esteem is legit
i dont fake it like others do, and i dont pronounce it loudly so that everyone knows i have a low self esteem (well i try not to lately anyway). i hate those ppl that just self-pity, self-pity, self-pity. its stupid.

ive always wondered, those ppl who like create songs or poems on how hopeless and stupid they are are just ridiculous. i mean if youre good enough to write the poems and songs, that means you can actually do stuff and if you post them publicly, then you obviously know that theyre at least decent and you have some sort of talent, so i think all that negativity is just for show, for attention and is completely false. maybe not completely. but yeh.

i mean i know im pretty imaginative and i can write stories, whenever i think of stories i just write them down, and i know i can do something if i have the willpower and im pretty fast and stuff. but yeh my low self esteem is mainly like my appearance and pressure for achieving that i get from, well being asian.

the fact that my bro did so well in his studies relli puts me down and sometimes i dont think i can live up to that, but then ive figured (and although it doesnt clear away the putting-down, it still helps) that i dont actually need to live up to his expectations. i just need to get something thats pretty good, get into a good course at a good uni and then i guess thatll please my parents. hopefully.

argh. i dunno. i have no idea wat i wanna do when i grow up (everyones been asking me that lately) but yeh the subjects ive chosen dont relli reflect wat i like, just more on wat i think my parents would want me to do. but the fact that i have my brother to tutor me in things makes it worse cuz i feel like now i HAVE to do good cuz i have my brother. honestly it sucks.

i might wanna do combined arts and law in uni, arts because you need a double degree when doing law and i dont want to be doing another degree that actually counts (i might wanna do cooking tafe so arts can be like my fun time), but even if i do that i dont think i want to be a lawyer. i want to just own my own business, but thats extremely risky and un-asian. lol. asian = medicine or law.

gosh, if i didnt have such low self esteem i'd be such a risk taker and maybe id be good at stuff. argh i dunno. lets break free from this asian mentality; the world needs risktakers. break with me =]

work exp

new lifelong goal:
-learn morse code
but before i do that, i should probably master lucid dreaming first. i found a good site on learning morse code but yeh ill just master lucid dreaming first, although im having trouble remembering my dreams lately. like sometimes i would remember dreams like 3 days in a row but then after that id be completely lack of remembrance of them and i dont want to interrupt my sleep solely for trying to remember my dreams. =/
-watch a circus show


work exp. day 1:
first thing i did was go out with a guy to put up some signs.
then i did some filing, folding letters, shoving them in envelopes, addressing the envelopes, stamping them and might i say i think i am the MASTER of letters now.
had lunch break (gloria jeans) for about an hour then went back to the letters.
did some databasing, entering customer info into the computers.
after that the receptionist taught me how to answer the phone, transfer the line, take enquiries etc but i didnt do any of that (thank gosh, i really did not want to answer the phone).
sent the letters off, picked up the mail, opened them, distributed them.
mum picked me up and i had some chicken chippees with chicken salt which i havent had for AGES.

it was pretty boring towards 4 o'clock, but the receptionist said that there'd be more stuff for me to do tomoro so yeh i'm looking forward to it. hopefully i can follow someone to go to a house inspection. i cant go to houses if buyers are involved, because they might not trust me or feel alright with me around.


fact 3. i have commitment issues
i can't commit to something, i tend to stop it really quickly, or just get tired/sick of it extremely fast.
even tho i hype something up at the beginning my hype goes like instantly.
i think i always look forward and plan things out so perfectly in my head that when it does happen, its not as wat i thought and so i get frustrated and start hating it?
i'm really impatient in that sense too, i can't sit through the bad, waiting for the good, the good has to come NOW or i will never be happy.

today in a shop i saw the sign "you have to climb the mountain to enjoy the view" or sumthing along those lines. i'm not a climber, id rather look at the view through google, something that i can access to whenever i want.

and that relli sucks because that means that in life, the majority of it will suck for me.
i will be constantly striving for perfection, but as we all know, perfection is never in reach for us. even if i don't reach perfection, but reach an area that i always longed for, always dreamed for, i will be happy for a brief moment then quickly saddened again, just because thats how i am. =[

can't wait till work experience!

argh currently i have 4 assignments: science, history, pd, food tech.
how sad is that.
work experience will be a great break from school =]


new lifelong goal:
-have lucid dreams
inspired from inception. haha. lucid dreams are basically when you are aware that you are dreaming and you can start to control your actions and manipulate stuff (yeh, just like inception). awesum isnt it? takes training and practice and stuff tho, but i googled it =] you should too.
-dine in a high class restaurant

fact 2. i get really moved by true stories on accidents, illnesses, deaths, famous downfalls and the kids in africa. like, really easily moved by them.

i really want to donate my organs to kids who need them if i die in an accident or die early or watever. honestly, they deserve it so much, and i take these things for granted so easily. also everytime i see a beggar on the street i give them spare change cuz its jsut SO SAD. what's a few little silver coins to me when this person has nothing?

the body shop are having these hand lotion bottles for $13.95 and 100% of the money goes to childwise, a foundation child sex trafficking. child sex trafficking is basically when people kidnap kids and then sell them into prostitution or watever. its crazy. so i went and bought one cuz i was so moved by it.

theres also the heartkids, which i saw in a brochure outside michels, where basically these kids are born with heart defects and will have to continually get surgeries as they get older. one boy was the first child to have to undergo surgery whilst still in his mother's womb!!

so guys, think about donating to them, they have brochures outside michels and donut king =]

i also get so sad when i watch movies that are based on true stories, and the main character in the end just is like...in a relli sad position.

gahh


anywai: my dilemma with gloria jeans and michel's

i think im gonna stick with michels.
the pay is about the same, gj wont let me do coffee until like a year later, theres more stuff to learn witht he drinks and everything andd i heard one of the senior chicks saying that the boss cut down her hours because she is too expensive. which means that after i master everything and am older, shed give me less hours, which defeats the purpose of me mastering everything and getting a payrise in the first place.

so yeh...michels it is i guess... =/

i hate it when parents are aware of any exams

1. the before questions
"what subject? time? have you studied? how much? are you ready? are you sure? why were you watching that movie today then? why didn't i see you studying?"
this all blew out of proportion when one parent asked if i was ready for "The Maths Exam". being honest, i replied, "i don't know"

"WHAT?!?!"

oh my gosh...why did i say that...

"YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE REALLY BAD PRIORITY!"

now why exactly did i say that i didn't know if i was ready?
"because the teachers only gave us like 2 revision sheets so... i don't know-"

"BLAH BLAH! YOU HAVE TO PREPARE YOURSELF!! DON'T GET DISTRACTED BY TV/MSN/ETC"(man, sometimes their so fast, i didn't even get a chance to elaborate)

what the parent did not understand was that I ALREADY TRIED to prepare myself. i did the revision sheets, i went through my book, i memorised stuff, but you know, even AFTER all that, I STILL AM UNSURE OF HOW READY I AM. it's not that i didn't try, prioritise, study, prepare or that i am stressed about it. it's just that sometimes, as is USUAL, i feel insecure and unsure of things. HENCE, THE I DON'T KNOW! there's only so much i could've done to prepare myself with 2 revision sheets!!

also, the parent was unaware of my policy: do not study the day before the exam.


2. the after questions
the dreaded "so...how was the test?"
how on earth am i supposed to answer this? if i say good, then wat happens when i get bad results? if i say bad, then it's back to square one about me not preparing enough.

3. the results
im sure all you asians know, nothing is ever good enough. i can get top of the class but noooooo "oh you still did so many silly mistakes."
the expectations are ridiculous! don't get me wrong, if i got top of the class the parents will still be ecstatic, but they would still say "well, you could've gotten better."

especially with a brother who has been through all this before, it truly sucks. THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED.

sorry i've been slacking off on my posts about the facts that i was meant to do every post... but a lot has been going on.

haha ill be super awesum and give you a highlight of wats up next:

-mysterious fact 2 about myself
-my dilemma on gloria jeans or michels (it wont be that long i promise, roger =] )
-new lifelong goals

and more stuff! =]

i just have to eat dinner now CYA GUYS

inception update

okay so last post, i mentioned i saw inception and MAN WAS IT GOOD.

dont worry, i wont spoil anything (it'll be hard to spoil anything anyway- too in-depth descriptions are needed)

okay so firstly me and my mum went to lindt cafe and omgsh, it is so good. i had a hot chocolate, and it was so different! cuz i asked for dark chocolate they gave me just an empty cup, a small cup of melted dark chocolate, and then a separate jug of frothed milk =O even tho it was $6.50, it was so good and it made up like 2 cups of hot chocolate so that was AWESUM.

my mum had a cappuccino and a slice of this cake (celebration du chocolat or sumthing like that) which was basically several layers of chocolate, but in different textures (such as sponge, mousse, ganache, etc) and i tried some and it was so noice. the good thing about it is it is really dense but also not that sweet so you can eat a lot of it and not feel sick. i had an opera slice which was also in layers, but this time chocolate and coffee layers and it was SO NOICE. the same thing as my mum's cake was that it wasn't that sweet but also quite dense.

by the time we finished our drink (drinks for me because of the amount of chocolate and milk they gave me) and our cakes, we were like SO FULL we were just like OMGSH HOW MUCH DID WE EAT. NO NEED FOR LUNCH.

so we actually didnt eat lunch after the movie ended (which was 2.40, and we ate at lindt cafe at like 11). at 4, when my bro picked us up from the bus stop, we still weren't hungry and were just like wattheheck.

but seriously, such a good experience. although everythings so expensive, it is so good. i reckon its better than max brenner. =O *gasp*


okay. time for the real thing: inception. (once again, no spoilers)

i dont get how everyone says its relli confusing. its actually not. its really easy to understand and i didn't get as confused as i thought i would. actually i dont think i got confused at all.

wat you have to do when you watch it is: keep concentrating. if you zone out and miss something, you might get confused later and that'll screw everything up. seeing as the movie is like 2 and a half hours long, i guess thats where people start losing interest and lose concentration and therefore get confused at the end. sometimes in the movie (maybe it was meant to make you feel like this) but i thought that the movie was just NOT progressing. i wanted it to quicken up and do something but also at times i felt so connected to the storyline i think i nearly had a heart attack! i was wondering OMGSH WATS GONNA HAPPEN. OMGSH WATTHEHECK. OMGSH PLEASE NOOOOO and that time it felt like AGES before the movie got anywhere but i guess thats what made it so good!

also sometimes it was relli hard to understand wat they were saying. their incredibly deep and soft voices just made everything so hard to understand. especially when the asian guy speaks sometimes haha. but then again, i'm relli bad at understanding other people's accents, so maybe that was just me.

did you know that christopher nolan first wrote this in 2001? he wanted to take his own time in developing the storyline, but he first told the storyline to warner bros and they agreed to it, but were not officially with him. then he took it away to spend some time on it - he thought it would take a few months. then he wanted to get familiar with some top-class films, so he worked with the batman duo and the prestige (i think) and then only completed the inception plot last year, where warner bros bought it and began producing it.

amazing, i guess patience really does pay off sometimes (esp with james cameron), i probably would have given up if i were them two.
