about a week ago i received my cookbooks in the mail!
these were the cookbooks that i got as a prize from the marketing competition; they gave me $100 worth of penguin products so i chose:
-Party Cakes by Julie Lanham
be sure to click on the image and look at the big bikkie picture!! =O definitely making that one day
-Bake: Essential Companion by Alison Thompson
the pictures on the site arent as amazing as some other pictures in the book but yes, this book is awesome; filled with hundreds of pages on like EVERYTHING that can be baked
-50 Fabulous Chocolate Cakes by Rita Erlich
this one i am yet to receive because it only gets published on the 27th of june, but it does look/sound delicious. too bad there arent any images on the content.
i have also gotten my tangled poster which joyce so kindly ordered for me and it looks AWESOME!! its got rapunzel and eugene on the boat with all the lanterns around them and its sooooo prettyyyy =D
i forgot who the seller was, but its basically this
my mum also got a waffle maker!!!
we made some waffles and (after drowning them in maple syrup) THEY TASTE DELICIOUS!!!
i luuuuuuuuurv waffles now <3
okay lets discuss our tests now (sounds eerily close to discuss our TEXTS; gosh english is getting to me)
maths: 84/102 = 82%
phys: 57/64 = 89%
chem: 46/60 = 77%
hmm maths im okay with, did a few silly mistakes in there but 82% is alright i guess...
phys im SO HAPPY with except that i get denied of 90% by 0.109375%
chem...ehhh not relli happy with chem...i thought i did so well but gosh, i hate the marking criteria, getting KEY words is so annoying...also did a few semi-silly mistakes in there
so now i just need to await maths extension, ancient, legal and english...yay.
shying away from school, here's a fun riddle i got from stumbling:
FUN FACT #1!
Many shops have prices set just under a round figure, e.g. $9.99 instead of $10.00 or $99.95 instead of $100.00 . It is assumed that this is done because the price seems lower to the consumer. But this is not the reason the practice started. What was the original reason for this pricing method?
(Answer will be in my next blog post =P)
stumble time!

S is for Sick
mommy rhapsody.
lol this video was played in my church, it's hilarious.
happy [belated] mother's day! and happy birthday to pamela for tomoro!
so i woke up this morning, ready for physics in the best possible mood i could ever have been in! I was like, so pumped for phys. did revision sheets the night before, did revision sheets in the morning and was just so happy. couldn't have been happier.
...
yeh, that was a lie.
i woke up at like 9...and i relli needed to go to the toilet, but the exam was at like 1.20 and i was planning on waking up at like 12 or something. but then i had to pee. and if i got up to pee, i wouldnt have been able to fall asleep again. if i stayed in bed, i wouldn't have been able to go back to sleep (also because the sun was relli relli bright).
well, i was in a bit of a pickle.
so then, unfortunately, i went down and in the bathroom i discovered i had pink eye!
my right eye was so amazingly red and slightly swollen, i looked terrifying. I quickly rinsed it with cold water, putting it under those...wat do you call them...its like those little eye cups with contours to fit around your eye so you put water in it, press it against your eye, tilt your head back and you open your eye so the water goes in and washes it...ANYWAY i did that like 3 times and it still did not look any better.
so then i fixed myself some breakfast. after i finished eating and changing, i sneezed like ten times in a row im not even kidding.
then i was like so tired of phys even though i didnt revise anything for the past two weeks, so i started doing some legal because the ngiht before i was freaking out that i forgot all these legal terms and definitions. and as i was studying, not only did i go through a pile of tissue paper for my runny nose, but my hands became insanely cold so i found a glove (yes, one glove). but the weird thing is, the glove didnt even make my hand warm? it like....it made it warmer when the glove was on, but when i took it off, the hand was much much colder than the hand which didnt have the glove... weird.
but then, long story short i got a headache, stopped legal, had some toast, went to school, shivered in the wind, aced phys (i hope...well it was easier than expected...), came home, killed some time, then watched masterchef!
and on the topic of masterchef... YAY alex is back!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
my excitement cannot be contained; that guy is awesome.
so anyway, rant-about-how-sucky-my-day-was is overrrr.... let's stumble.
OH WAIT!
lol last post, i forgot to say that May 4th was star wars day! May the Fourth be with you!
haha the songstowearpantsto guy on youtube wrote a song on it and then one of the comments was like "next itll be revenge of the fifth"
rofllll love these guys.

R is for Rain
don't you just hate the rain?
or the cold for that matter?
seriously, every morning that i wake up im just absolutely freezing! so i stand there in the bathroom for like 15 minutes (cuz the tiled room is absolutely freezing) standing under the heater lights, waiting for my body to get warm. but it doesnt. so then i have to change anyway and its still absolutely freezing. and your clothes are freezing. and when you walk out the room, its freezing.
im sure you all know what i mean. but yeh, basically i hate this weather. it sucks, im throwing layers over me like the world depends on it.
sigh...i want summer to come back...
----------
amazing coincidences
dude some of these are jsut plain crazy.
the story behind this is that i came across the fact:
"In the spring of 1975, a baby in Detroit fell 14 stories and landed on Joseph Figlock, who was walking below. A few years later it happened again. Figlock and both babies survived."
annnd of course i googled him and that site came up...really interesting.
OOOH and masterchef has come back!! =D
is everyone as excited as i am =]
i love that alex guy (the one with the big black earrings) simply because hes forever in the elimination rounds, and that rachel woman who was like in love with adriano zumbo.
i HATE that dai chick, but at least shes gone now, and i really dont like sun...she creeps me out.
other than that i can't relli remember that many people.
oh except theres one semi fat guy that ALWAYS is sweating! yeugh.
