Half a cheer for da - Hip Hip Hoo

Congratelooootions to me. I did some work today! [Human Bio, Math and a little English]
I should've done more English today [since that's the first paper] but i finished writing out my Math notes [which only occupied 1 page and 2 sides] and i did some Human Bio [cells. o fun]. I think i know why i did so badly in the first topic for Human Bio, it was probably because Cells are so boring [on their own] and learnign about the different types of tissues isn't exactly a whole lot of fun. O yes
Today was quite a fun day actually. Lynne kept me company in my room while i was doing my work and we listened to some cheesy, old pop songs i.e. Britney Spears. lol. Well dinner was really funny today. Dinner topics ranged from Dodo fish balls to weird names and people. Interesting.
Hehe. I have a cute little doggie sitting on my lap!! Samson's just sooooo cute. *grin* He's one nasty pee-er. He probably drinks more than he eats. lol.
Hmm. I really hope the links to the pictures work properly this time. The links work, but my other photo album's not appearing for some strange reason. So if you click on either one you'll end up seeing the same photo album so fear not, your eyes are fine!

2003-05-30T07:43:00.000-07:00

whoaa. FOUR whole days.
that's a long time for me since i'm used to coming online practically every day. lol. So where have i been? Well, been trying to settle down and trying to get into the whole exam moood. Plus, i had to study for 2 more assesments [which are now over. *phew*] So i guess i won't be online as much now. But i'll come and update once in a while. = ) And my sources tell me that the pictures link is still not really working. grrr. So i'll have to try and fix that.
Let's seee...today. Ah, today. Free dress today and i still don't really get why people would take the trouble to dress up for school. Hmm. Anyway, went to Tina's house after school and we were supposed to study. O sure, we studied. hahaha. Ate so much, but it wasn't our fault! She kept taking out food. Chocolate cake her mum baked [which was really nice and moist], apple juice, keropok, wafer, ice cream. Can't believe we ate so much. After a while, Tina and Grace decided that we should take out something to study or at least pretend to. So we took our files and stuff. Then Tina suggested we go study upstairs cos there was a table and everything so we agreed and thought we'd get more stuff so we wouldn't have to keep coming down and going up. Went to Tina's room to get our stuff, but ended up sitting or lying around in her room. We talked and listened to music. Procrastination [go us!]. Went to body combat after that and now, my back really aches and i think i have my stupid heavy school bag to blame. Had to bring all my books and files home to study. Argh. That's half my locker! [the other half is just junk really..] Music was really good today hehe. It should be good now anyway, since we don't have any more research assignments. All based on composition and stuff. yay. Fun stuff! We sang a song today - Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. Cool song.
Well well, we've already planned what we're going to do after the exams! On thursday [when the others finish.ha. i finish on tuesday!], we'll possiby be having dinner at Grace's parent's cafe! Probably not free food, just discounted. And then on friday we're going for the social at St. Hilda's [another international social and apparently they'll have a beter DJ. yay!] Lastly, saturday's the day of our city trip!! Really can't wait!! Going to get my Hip Mo' Toast cds!! *grin* at last.
O yes. There's going to be Australian Idol. lol. What a rip off. But i guess it would be really cool because there's some girls from my school going for the audition [Danielle and Taryn]. Those are the ones i know of anyway. That should be interesting.

*waves bye*
and all the best to those people who have exams coming up or who are already having them!! [o and especially to those of you who have O level Mother Tongue papers: best of luck!!]

*p.s. we have Coco pops!!! *grin*

2003-05-26T01:29:00.000-07:00

There has to be something about today

Woke up at the usual time this morning, brushed my teeth, washed my face. But i DIDN'T put on my contacts. Time to change into my school uniform. Everything else about it was normal except that my skirt is now more loose than usual AND it's shorter too! This could mean 2 things: 1-i've grown taller and 2- i've lost weight. 2 things which i think are not really possible. I even checked numerous times to make sure that i wasn't wearing my sister's skirt. Breakfast time! Was craving for Coco Pops until i discovered that there weren't any left. Damn. Had to settle for a cup of tea. Everything else was fine until English came. Today's lesson was for us to plan our essay, which is to be written on Wed. Got the topic and had no idea what to write. So you could say today's lesson was almost a complete waste of time for me because i didn't really know what i was doing. I don't even know if i'm on the right track for this Intertextual essay of ours. After that i just felt so annoyed and wasn't really in the happiest of moods, so music kind of sucked today.

Maybe Amy was right. Maybe something was bothering me all of today, i just didn't know what. It didn't really occur to me until she kept mentioning it. Was just feeling so angry/frustrated/annoyed. A whole bunch of negative feelings. It's also times like these where i wish i could eliminate people who annoy me or people i don't like [i won't mention any names]. I hate people who are big headed, arrogant, rude, always waiting to be praised, annoying and/or ugly. What a lethal combination. Sometimes these people should just stop acting so smart and stop thinking that they're really good at whatever it is they do. Because maybe, just maybe, there could be someone else out there who is better than them and more humble.

So what was it about today? I have no idea. Maybe it was the change in routine. Maybe it was the glasses. Hmph. Note to self: Don't wear glasses to school until necessary.
Excuse me while i go vent my anger/frustration.

2003-05-24T07:44:00.000-07:00

Today's been a day of mood swings. From deliriously happy to annoyed/angry.
I woke up bright and early this morning [woke up earlier than lynne did! *gasp*], ready to go to chinese school to see those cute little kids again. Went back home for lunch, had this cheese and bacon savoury roll from Brumby's. Hmm. Was kind of hungry, but wasn't in the mood to eat. It didn't really fill me up but o well. Gave Samson's enclosure a bit of a clean since Nette and Lynne and Adit were bathing him and played with him for a while after that. Decided that i should go study at 1330 hrs. Set an alarm, and surprisingly, i started doing my human bio notes when it went off. *pats myself on the back* Doing notes is extremely time consuming and not to mention boring!! But then again, the time passed by quite quickly because by the time i checked the time it was already 1500hrs. Still wasn't done yet though, but i thought i'd give wilson a call at 1630 or something. That would be my break! ended up leaving my work a bit earlier and went online to see if he was online. *grin* he was ! Called him anyway, after he had his shower and talked for quite a while. I don't even know how long we spent on the phone. Hmm. Wasn't really keeping track of the time. Went back to doing work after that [partly cos he made me feel really guilty], but as usual it took me a while to actually settle down. ANYWAY so far i've finished my human bio notes, done half of my accounting hw and pondered about my english intertextual essay.
After accounting on Friday, i've decided that i hate accountants and that i hate mrs Ryan for putting me on an extremely massive guilt trip. What exactly are you trying to do?? Give us hints or make us all feel guilty about not keeping up with our theory?? Or maybe you're just being a complete bitch, as always. Okae okae, so point taken. We should be revising our theory and thanks so much for telling us about the essays we may have to write for our exam. GRRRRR.
Wanted to do some math, until i discovered that i hadn't brought my graphics home! Smart one da. So just did those questions that didn't require the graphics, which was like what, 1/4 of an exam paper maybe? Not much practice really. Human bio, econs.. don't have my stuff! Gawd, why am i so dumb?! i should've had the sense to bring that stuff home with me, but obviously i don't know where all that sense has gone. Maybe it's in my locker along with my other stuff!!
Geez. Study you bum, Study!!

2003-05-23T08:31:00.000-07:00

it's has been a few days since i've last blogged. In those few days [...that's about 3 days...], quite alot of stuff has happened!
# 1 :
the spice girls nightmare is now over!! yay!! jill, jessie and i went first for our presentations because we thought that if we went first, then it'll be over sooner and plus, ours will look extra special. lol. Jill was really funny as Eminem, Jessie was cool as Slim Dustry and I.. hmm. well. i won't say anything. It was truly embarrassing and i must say, it's not every day that i get to dress and look like a tart!! I was the last one to go on, and i didn't know that there would be music before i actually started talking. So instead of just standing there, i danced. Ugh. Well not throughout the length of the music, just for a bit of it. Gawd. I can't believe i did that. It just happened. hmm. SO from now on, i don't want to hear any more about the Spice Girls. Especially not their songs.
# 2 :
i finally collected my glasses!! *grin* yay!! yeap. i really like them. hehe. I mean sure, i'm still a nerd when i wear them but not that bad a nerd. i think. Well i like them anyway.
# 3 :
Samson's poo-ing on the newspaper!! that's good. cos the sooner he gets toilet-trained, the sooner he'll be allowed to run around and stuff. hehe. Played fetch with him today, he's so cute. Btw, there's pictures of him now. Just click on "pixx" in the pictures section!!
# 4:
the exams are really near!! nooooo!! about 2 more weeks i think. -sigh- . really have to start revision!! Especially for econs. argh. And we still have a test next friday!! Thanks ALOT mr. flexman. grr. O yes, and one more thing: we still have an english intertextual essay on wed. Don't we all just love our teachers??
# 5:
i think i've found my dinner dance dress!! *grin* and it's only $89! ONLY $89 u say, well other dresses i've seen cost more than $100 so this one is cheap compared to those. And plus, it's from Body & Soul. Oo. i really like it!
# 6 :
Today in human bio, we continued learning about the Digestive System. In today's lesson, we talked about the Small intestines and the Large Intestines! Also about bile pigment, which is what gives poo it's colour. And there's these Sphinxters [or somethign to that effect..], there's one in rectum and it helps to squeeze the waste products out of the rectum and into the toilet. [i think i'll stop now, sorry if i ruined your appetite!!]

Well, that's about all i can think of right now. oo!! wait!! i bought the pretty handphone cover today and i MIGHT be buying tina's phone off her. That's if my battery can fit into her phone. yay!! then i can use the pretty cover!! [thanx for the money wilson!! *huggs* ]

2003-05-20T07:10:00.000-07:00

the spice girls are driving me nuts!!! *runs about screaming*
ahh!!

2003-05-19T05:40:00.000-07:00

we got a doggie!!!
he's sooooo adorable!!
he's a Maltese X Shih Tzu and his name is Samson.
Why Samson? Because his hair's gonna grow longer as he grows up and we'll have to cut it from time to time. lol. But he's really really cute and attention-seeking, i think he's not used to being alone because he had a play mate in the shop and there's always people coming to see him and all.
Well, that's the big news for today! *grin*
I think i'm gonna go collect my glasses tomorrow, really can't wait any more! Geez. Waited too long already.
After seeing this baby in church wearing a little suit yesterday, i commented on how cute and comfortable it would be. And so nette said she'd sew a pair of socks to my track pants for me. yay! hehe. She sewed them just now and it IS really comfortable! Wearing them now, nice and warm.

*p.s. Music assignment due on wednesday, presentation on thursday. The day of the Spice Girl is approaching. Still trying to get the speeech and write up done. Jill was "pressuring" me today. lol. She and jessie are so organised and on task.

2003-05-18T04:38:00.000-07:00

i procrastinate,
get distracted too easily.
Most of all,
i lack motivation.
i know this,
and yet it happens almost all the time.
Why o why.

2003-05-18T02:10:00.000-07:00

Once again, it's the end of the weekend. crud. and guess how much homework i've done! nothing. zilch. which is really bad since the exams are in 16 days [according to grace's email]. And so that means i actually have to start studying, but being the procrastinator that i am, it's gonna take me a while to start.
Tried to upload my pictures on to yahoo last nite, this morning actually, but yahoo's just so dodgy. Damn msn for disallowing non Msn 8 subscribers to use the photo albums thing. Yahoo's really crap, took really long and so many errors and stuff occuring. So i'm gonna try using Shutterfly, which is what gillian's using. Just gonna give it a try and it looks promising too!
Ah yes. We're getting a dog. spent the afternooon loooking the classifieds and searching the net for info on all sorts of dogs. But i like the Maltese X Shih Tzus. hehe. they're really cute. and they don't shed fur too! All this was lynne's suggestion of course [the getting-the-dog-bit]. yeap. I think we're going to go have a look at the Maltese X shih tzu for sale later or something. We decided against jack russells because they're hunters, they dig and they're hell active.
Yeah so that's that's the big news for today. Okae, well my mum's talking about how there won't be any promises about the dogs we're going to see. O well. hehe. Maybe they'll be really cute.

*p.s. Did one quarter of my music assignment today. What a big step. lol.

2003-05-17T03:11:00.000-07:00

ah. finallly. blogger's working. been screwing up these few days.
friday...
Quite a stresful day. Two assesments - econs and the human bio essay. The econs test was quite major one and there was soo much to study and so it was bugging me a whole lot. Spent the entire night before that memorising econs and human bio stuff and i was getting really annoyed. Orchestra was alrite, it was really squishy and we didn't have enough music stands so the brass section had to share stands [it was quite funny] and the percussion section was being neglected because they didn't get a table to put all their percussion instruments on and they didn't get enough music stands either. awww. Recess was cold, windy and damp. Then it was music! And thank goodness for singing, i really needed it. We also did 3 part harmones for "may it be" by enya. it sounded pretty cool. Next period. Econs test. Mr Flexman asked me why i looked so worried, well obviously i was worried about the test. The bell rang. It wasn't too bad i guess. Just this 5 mark question that i didn't really know to answer properly. But one down, 1 to go! Wasn't in the mood to eat at lunch time. I was hungry, but not. [okae, that didnt' really make sense but anyway] Accounting was alrite, wasn't paying attention. It was boring theory and the essay was next. i dont know, but i think i wrote too little for the essay. Everyone had like at least 2 pages but i had one and a half. I guess it all depended on which respiratory disease each person did. After school was over i was so relieved and happy. Was also excited about the Production! Which by the way, was preeetty damn good. *day by day, day by day, o dear lord, 3 things i pray. To see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly. Day by day..*
Saturday...
Everything went well. Until about 3pm. Chinese school was good. The kids are so cute. i love them already! Went for lynne's piano performance, lots of asian kids there and they played really well. Went to garden city after that because lynne was still early for her friend's party, so i went to collect my glasses from Myer. Argh. So aggravating. Lynne and i happily walked there and chose the case and everything, when we realised that we didn't have the Medibank card. So we left [was crushed because i wanted my new glasses so much!] to buy a milkshake and a chocolate donut [finally! i found a place which sells them] Went to the carpark where mum was supposed to be waiting for us, but we couldn't find her for a while. Then she appeared and said she'd been waiting and blah blah blah. Told her that i couldn't collect my glasses cos i didnt' have the Medibank card and she asked if i wanted to get them still and i said yes. Walked back to Myer again and was waiting for the guy to print the receipts and all when he said, "umm. There's a problem" grrr. when i heard that, i just wanted to twist his head off his fat neck. It turns out that i need to pay $57 extra because i've used up my allowance for eye care. O that's just great. I would've been able to get my glasses, except i didn't have the $57! i was so annoyed and he could tell i was annoyed. He just kept saying sorry. Argghhh. Stupid. When i asked why that wasn't the case the last time we were there, he said that was because they hadn't seen the previous transaction [which was for my contacts earlier this year]. So now, i have to go back on monday with the money. Anyway, walked back to the carpark and told my mum about what happened. All she said was, "What?! why?! haiya, i have so many things to do. Wasted so much time." Well gee, it wasn't my fault you know. Gawd.
Came home and vented my frustration by playing my trumpet. I'm telling you, anger does wonders in getting those high notes really easily! Feeling better now. Less angry. But kind of hungry. Gotta wait till later for dinner because we're having steamboat with Ee, uncle david and stu. Perfect day for steamboat!

2003-05-15T06:23:00.000-07:00

this will be a really quick one!
i have to go really soon!
study!
more study!
i did have quite alot of stuff to say, but then i can't really remember all of it any more. Because when i wanted to blog, stoopid blogger.com wouldn't load and then i get disconnected. So here i am. Finally. Hmm. O k well i don't think this entry will be very interesting, mostly because a whole bunch of econs and human bio information is floating around in my head. Argh.
Well today was... Wet. Rainy. Windy. Cold. But it was still good though! Trumpet lessons were great [finally got those high Ds!!], music in society was fun [no research today! thank gawd!], year 11 O' Donnell won volleyball [we beat dillon!! whoohoo!! great job amy and all the other people who played] and my human bio grades have improved. wow.
Big econs test tomorrow. Worth 10%. Okae well maybe it's not THAT big, but still, i'm scared. Human bio essay on Pneumonia [all this stupid stuff to memorise]. Can't wait to regurgitate [did i spell that rite?] everything on to the respective papers! Then my mind can return to it's semi-slack mode again and i can watch Godspell in peace! Godspell. i can't wait to watch it. Jen and Kate are the only year 11s in it and i'm sure they'll be great.
And since it's dawned on me that the exams are coming, i've decided to slack less. So i'm going to try my best to do my homework and work hard to get good grades for any tests until the exams!
-bracing myself-

2003-05-14T06:55:00.000-07:00

*gasp*

surprise surprise! my blog's back to normal again! well except maybe no pictures. but i'll have to re-upload them on to something else because msn photo albums doesn't do that any more. hmph. anyhoo, today was quite a dreary day in school. And i can't believe that we got s.a.g for the 2nd day in a row!! But this time he was relieving mrs. sawaris for RE. Man, he sure can talk. He was just going on and on about how wonderful easter is, and how wonderful it is that we celebrate it for such a long time...blah blah blah. joanne said very loudly: "i really want him to go away right now."
The rest of the RE lesson was boring, as usual. I'm pretty sure we could have more enjoyable RE lessons instead of reading and note-taking and stuff like that. i just don't see the point. Today's o-so-lovely note-taking was on the different aspects of catholicism, well something to that effect anyway. And as usual, after an extreeeemely long-winded and not to mention boring explanation of what we had to do, s.a.g set us off on our work. Not before "threatening" us of course: "now i'm going to be very mean today. alrite, if i see you doing work not related to this class i'm going to personally take it off you." oo k s.a.g, we heard you.
*snicker* before everyone settled down to doing their work, he was bombarded with lots of comments like - "can we discuss some of this work?" and "i can't work with her". And from that, i gather he can't handle loud noises and stress very well. So it would've been funny to ask him stupid questions and see how he responded to them.
I'm also still quite peeved at the fact that we're doing the same assignment as last term for music. i mean come on mr k and miss oram, i'm sure you guys could be more original and creative than that. Can't wait till it's over. But until then, i have to get into character i.e.one of the spice girls! you see, my group's reserach topic is about how different artists write or record different songs and how their backgrounds affect their musical styles. And so jill picked Eminem, jessie picked Slim Dusty [this aussie country dude] and i picked the Spice Girls. The point is to show how these 3 EXTREMELY different artists have their styles and stuff like that. Yeap. I have to pick one of the Spice Girls to be though, gee, what a tough decision eh. hahah. but i'm thinking of being Geri right now, since she was the one who left to continue with a solo career and all. Well i think our presentation will be quite interesting and embarasssing! ah well.
A very depressing way of realising that you've been slacking too much: go to tutor room all happy and then you're hit with the exam time table. This is when you discover that all 5 of your exams are in consecutive days! well sort of anyway. Wed, thurs, fri, mon, tues.
Exams. 3 weeks away.

2003-05-13T06:57:00.000-07:00

a little comments thing.
hope it works.
it better.

2003-05-13T06:29:00.000-07:00

hope this template works!!

2003-05-13T06:19:00.000-07:00

ooo k so this bloody template isn't changing at all and nothing seems to be happening.
argh. me and my itchy fingers!
m e a t p i e d a y
yes. it's meat pie day! well i didn't eat a meat pie, but tina and grace and stef did - so there. And i've also come to the conclusion that tuesdays can be extremely boring!
During the various house assemblies today, we were given certificates for effort and good participation..stuff like that. Well, i got one for english, grace got one for RE [and she wants to be goth. ha. ], tina got one for PE [our resident jock!], stef got one for intro calc and one for g&t [that little brainy thing...] and heidy got ones for esl and something else.
I guess you could say that that was the highlight of the day [gee, that's really sad]. Well nevermind, i think tomorrow will be alot better. And i think there's a possibility that heidy and i will get to have our belching competition! *grin* and stop giving me those loooks alrite, it's a normal bodily function - as is farting. [but no competitions there, i don't think we could handle that]
well well, guess i'd better get going. accounting test tomorrow. closed-book. theory. ahh.

2003-05-12T02:56:00.000-07:00

hmm. is the comments thing there??
grr.

2003-05-12T02:41:00.000-07:00

ahh. feels like it's been ages since i've last blogged. well right now, i'm just trying to change the template of this thing and i'm also trying to install a new comments thing! = ) just see which one i like better. well with this one, i can change the colours to pink! sweet pink! hehe. yeah well i havent actually seeen the new template or anything, but hopefully everything will turn out alrite. *crosses fingers* *prays really hard*
in the event that i do muck the entire blog up, i'll need help. anyone willing to volunteer? lol.
anyway, mr flexman wasn't in school today and guess who the relief was! none other than mr. spiritual antenna man. that man is such a pansie. spent half the econs lesson sitting outside because we were locked out and mr s.a.g was late.
s.a.g : "are you mr flexman's class?"
us : "yes"
s.a.g : "well alrite then, get into class"
us : "erm. we would, if the door wasn't locked."
s.a.g : "o."
and so the search for the keys began.
apart them, nothing else significant happened today. well, except maybe when we got rained on. twice. but thankfully, we didn't really get wet. although i have to admit that it was quite funny hearing a whole bunch of girls [who were sitting on the lawn] scream when the rain came pouring down o so suddenly. ha. and yes, it was quite a nice cool day today. i like cold weather except that you tend to eat alot in cold weather.
happy piece of news for the day: i'm going for music camp!! *happy dance*

*p.s. this is a new comments thing i'm trying. *points to the link below*

2003-05-10T03:23:00.000-07:00

oo k. trying out this new template = )
o yes and a new comments thing. hope it works!

2003-05-09T07:28:00.000-07:00

gawd i feeel good right now! well the 2 tests today weren't too bad, i should be able to pass them both. anyhoo, i think the major reason why i feel so happy is the exercise i did today. hehe. yes, exercise! tina, grace and i went for body combat today and had lots of funn. it was the usual combat stuff, you know the punching and kicking combined with aerobics.

let's see.. orchestra was alrite [we're doing a new song : ode to joy and tina gets to play the cymbals!]. English was kind of boring, i can't believe we're going to be spending an entire term on australian cultural identity and stuff. *yawn* i think the most fun subject today was music. The only complaint is that we're doing practically the same assignment as last term except this time, we're in groups of 3. -sigh- but then today's lesson was kind of urm..interesting..? because we were using laptops to do research but the internet can't be accessed from the music room [apparently the walls are too thick or something. *shrugs*] so we were supposed to go to the assembly room but there were people using it. We couldn't be bothered walking to some classroom that was wayy on the other side, so we just plonked ourselves in the corridor. hmm. managed to access the internet. yay.

ookie dokes. it's time for me to cut and re-paste the template [it's the last resort..] hopefully everything will be like it was before! *crosses fingers*

2003-05-08T06:50:00.000-07:00

bah. who cares about first aid and resuscitation?!
geez. why do we have to study that for the test tomorrow.
haemorrhages. *bleah*

2003-05-08T06:36:00.000-07:00

today was a good day, since it was a thursday. *grin*
trumpet lesson was funny today. mr kelly seemed to be in a really good mood or something. he was trying to help me play the high D, tried for half the lesson but no success. but i can hit it, once in a while.guess it was just one of those days.
hmm. anyway, wanted to see mr flexman to ask him to explain some econs concepts to me again, but when i went to loook for him he'd already gone home! argh. and he said he'd be around for an hour. poo.
i'm kind of happy too because o donnell's in the grand finals for interhouse volleyball! .. for year 11s that is. so we dont suck after all. ha.
o yes and so the dinner-dance-partner frenzy begins. well actually, it could've started some time ago but it's more talked about now. buut i think so far, those who remain partner-less are me, grace, stef and marsia. never fear, i think we'll find partners soon. after all, the dance is only in term 3. but me, i'm not stressing about it yet. too far away to stress about.
well well, 2 tests tomorrow. one after the other. accounting then human bio, i wish it were the other way around though because i'm less worried about accounting. hmm. anyway, i'm off. -pooof-

my alarm went off at 6:05 this morning and so i opened my eyes, turned it off and closed my eyes for a while more. Now usually, i'll open my eyes again after 5 minutes. Well, today's 5 mins turned out to be 45 mins! Don't know what it was that made me open my eyes again. soo i had to rush after that. got changed in 10 mins [record time..], grabbed my bag and trumpet and went to get some breakfast - which was hot chocolate with a marshmallow in it. yumm.
one reason why i prefer to be early for concert band: i get more time to warm up, which means better playing. ah well. the rest of the day went by quite quickly though, dont quite remember much of it. well, just amy giving me constant reminders to include her in my blog. hmm. alritey then. i just did.
i dont know why but i've been getting impatient these few days and so the choir rehearsal in church was much needed. just makes me feel heaps better. got home and rushed straight to the computer so that i could talk to wilson, but my dad said: "o wait wait wait. i just have to send one more email." oo k. that shouldn't take too long. well it shouldn't really. but it did. a h well. so that's why i'm still here at this time, although i really get a move on to bed so that i dont oversleeep again.
tomorrow's thursday. my favourite day. *grin* but unfortunately, it's going to be following monday's timetable. which is annoying, because then it makes you feel like it's monday all over again. but then again, i dont think it'll be a bad day. i mean afterall, thursday's usually a good day.

2003-05-06T07:33:00.000-07:00

argh. having issues with my blog template now.

2003-05-06T07:20:00.000-07:00

i dont know about you, but i think it's a biit too hot to be wearing our winter uniform. i mean sure, i'd take off my jumper..if my skirt was folded down and pulled so high. if only they made skirts that actually fit! buut then again, that would be breaking the code of practice for the uniform shop ladies. and how could anyone do that. shame on you for wearing clothes that fit!
anyway, first day back at school today and still feeeling the effects of the holidays i.e. lack of sleep. all in all, today wasn't too bad. and i've also discovered that stockings are real pests when you have to go to the toilet with your friends waiting for you...asking you to hurry up. a h, the woes of a weak-bladdered person.
and of course, what school day wouldn't be complete without walking into a door frame. tut tut.
o yes and i think i need an official test-date recorder because i seem to get the dates of tests wrong, so i apologise if i've frightened any of you into thinking that you have a test..say, the first day back at school? but all that's cleared up now, so i now know the correct dates! party.
before i forget, the holiday pictures will take a little while to upload and all because there's lots of them and so it's going to take me quite a while to scan.
*i think i'll alter my skirt. it's too long.

2003-05-05T06:52:00.000-07:00

shite.
there's something wrong with my template again... grr.
bear with this for a while.. i'll try to rectify it.

2003-05-05T00:10:00.000-07:00

get your typical, trashy romance novel from your nearest post office today! perhaps some of these titles might interest you...
-->bushwhacked bride
-->bethany's song [will she be singing a different one this time?]
-->the story of two
-->not for love [if not for love, then what?]
so remember if you want to get your very own copy, don't hesitate to rush down to the nearest post office. If you're lucky, you might even be able to get 3 for the price of 1!

lunch time tv can be quite entertaining: jerry springer and judge judy on channel 10, reject movies on channel 7 and you'll always have your soap operas on channel 9. wow. something to look forward to while you're eating your lunch. but of course, no one's stopping you if want to tune in regularly to see whether the prodigal father has gotten his memory back.
you'll be happy to know that i took the liberty of remembering what happened on the following shows!! [all for your viewing pleasure]

jerrry springer [jerry! jerry! jerry!]
why wouldn't anyone want to be on jerry springer? you get paid to verbally abuse a so-called loved one or friend and if you're lucky, you get to try to throw a chair at them too! well today on jerry springer, the topic was "country lovin' gone wrong" , In other words, this is the opportunity of a lifetime for the hillbillies to get their tv debut [and get paid..].
Sandy and Tom are farmers and have been married for 13 years with 7 kids. So one day while Sandy's feeding the pigs, Bonnie [one of their workers] interrupts the pig-feeding by telling Sandy that she's been having an affair with Tom. Needless to say, they start yelling obscenities and throwing pig feed [and other gross substances you might find in a pig sty] at each other. Later on, Jerry decides to spring [no pun intended!] a surprise on Sandy [well, not a nice one anyway]. It seems that Tom has put together an extremely x-rated tape [not for the faint hearted] to tell Sandy that he's also been having sex and sharing the hot tub with her best friend Lucy. So they show the tape and Tom tells the viewers about this kinky swing in their room and then we see Lucy and Tom sitting in the hot tub [which is filled with this murky, sewage-like water], drinking stuff [i say stuff because it didn't look like anything drinkable], eating twisties and making out. *cringe* Lucy then tells us that she thinks Sandy's been really stupid because she doesn't appreciate Tom [although who would? he's a fat, hairy, man whose dream is to live on a farm..]. And then Tom asks Lucy: "so what would do ya wanna do first? do ya wanna get on the bed or go on the swing?" *double cringe* naturally, Sandy is extremely disgusted and upset and the usual vulgarities and violence follows. BUT remember, all stories must have a happy ending. So Tom tells Sandy that he still really loves her and still wants to remain married to her and that he wont cheat on her any more, but she has to help him fulfill his dream and help to take care of the kids. [all together now: aww...] Sandy agrees and says that she loves him and then they kiss and make up. Meanwhile Lucy sits there looking disgruntled but she can't do anything about it, or can she?
after that very errm..interesting..segment of jerry springer i couldn't bring myself to watch any more because the next segment was about this hillbilly mum and her hillbilly daughter fighting over a hillbilly man. didn't really want to stick around to watch ugly, bug-toothed people make out and hurl abuse at one another so anything else would be better.

so i channel surf and catch glimpes of "the young and the restless" but nothing really exciting's happening. Later on channel 10, i'm delighted that they're showing "judge judy" because which lunch time would be complete without more stupid people filing lawsuits against one another for petty arguments. I managed to watch the last case, where these two women were argueing over a wedding veil. exciting.

well, i'm glad you can sometimes rely on SBS to show pretty okae movies -"The girl in the Sneakers". It was a film in Parsi. A satirical film about the force of iran's religious state descending on a young couple, Tadayi and Aideen, who only spend some time together. i only caught the last half an hour or so of the movie but it seemed pretty sad. However probably wont be as memorable as the other shows i watched. lol`*
But after watching today's "jerry springer" and "judge judy" nothing will seem as brain-numbing and/or painful to watch on tv. o and i apologise if you're still recovering from the details of the jerry springer segment. dont worry, i feel your pain.

the end is near

and so the 2 weeks of holidays are drawing to a close. after tomorrow, it's back to school again! and i still have hw to finish...mostly due on friday though..so that gives me more time. i reallly wanted to get my english hw done, but i just couldn't think of anything good to write! i guess some people know me too well..[o you know who u are..]
they're showing hollow man on tv now..made me realise how long ago it was that i first starting going out with guys! and it wasn't exactly a wonderful first experience either. lol`* was with sam, dyan and scott. oo k. enough said. = X
ANYWAY, was watching more of meteor garden 2 just now and i never knew that watching a brain-numbing taiwanese soap like that could be depressing. how you ask? well.. i guess it's got to do with the whole love issue and being with the one you love.. yada yada yada. but i have to admit, it's still addictive! and we only have 6 more vcds to go i think. hahahah. i cant believe myself.

2003-05-03T00:02:00.000-07:00

clogged

help! i'm suffering from writer's block!
just kind of annoying that it's chosen to happen to me right this moment, since i'm trying to write my story. so that's why i'm here. hoping that perhaps blogging will miraculously trigger off something in my brain.
hmm. nope. nothing.
i think i'll go help wash the car now.

2003-05-02T07:44:00.000-07:00

funny/cute thing i just found out: amy's sewing!
hehe.
ooo k well i'm feeling kind of bored now. don't have much to do..just waiting for wilson to msg me so that i can call him. hmm. but havent heard from him all day. o well.
played uno slam with lynne just noww..and it was really funny because she was getting all excited. then came the hyperness and she wouldn't shut up and stop following me! she just kept screaming and talking...and running after me, making me stay with her. lol`* too much coke and caffeine i'm telling you.
ahh!! schoool's starting on tuesday!! and we have to wear our winter uniform. but i reckon it's still gonna be a tad hot to do so. a h h well. these holidays have beeen kind of pathetic..havent gone out much. -sigh- and i really wanna go watch a movie!! i wanna watch "the good girl". it looks quite interesting and scandalous! i kind of like those type of movies. hehe. and plus, i have this feeling that there'll be at least 1 cute guy in the movie! o! here's another cutie: jimi mistry. he was in "the guru". and he was on "the kumars at no. 42" the other nite *smiles*
developed the pictures from the denmark trip already.. gonna bring them to school to scan on tuesday. so they'll be up soon!

2003-05-01T21:04:00.000-07:00

guilt, guilt and more guilt.
i was supposed to do most of my homework yesterday. but guess what, i didnt!
well i did try.yesterday, after watching some tv, i went to my room..sat down..and tried to start on some work. but all i managed to do was read through my human bio notes, and even then, i dont know how much of it actually went in. so instead of doing hw, i decided to practice trumpet [finally, something that i dont procrastinate in!]
anywae for the first time in a loooooong time, i went for a walk with lynne today. it was kind of hot and we were thirsty. hmm. then we dropped over at grace's house to get the gilmore girls tape and we ended up staying there for quite a while. by the time we were on our way home, it was close to 6 and as predicted..someone from home called to ask if we were on our way home because it was getting dark.

after the long driving trip, i've come to the conclusion that i still do enjoy long drives except that after about 3 hrs, i tend to get restless. but other than that, i really like long drives = ) i guess this time it wasn't as funn in the car because lynette wasn't there with us and the added noise was much needed!

o yes. and i think i will save up money enough for 3 hip mo toast cds but i'll buy the first 2 as soon as possible and then get the 3rd one when it comes out in june! i just cant wait that long for all 3 of them!

mum's just told us [me n lynne] to go down to winthrop to get ourselves some lunch and to develop film. so i guess we'll be going soon and i'll upload the holiday pixx as soon as possible!!

2003-04-30T08:07:00.000-07:00

back.

technology.

yay.

boy, this feels really good to be back. but dont get me wrong, i really really really enjoyed myself in denmark. And the drive to and from perth was about 965km altogether! eeks. It didn't really feel that long going there but coming back was a different story. We had to help dad with logging the route to and from denmark using his PDA. So we had to try not to fall asleep, which was pretty hard..considering i hadn't slept much last night. Was sleeping quite soundly for a while, and then all of a sudden, out of no where, my sister smacks me on the head [apparently she was dreaming that she was whaling]. I couldn't really sleep properly after that.o well. anyhooo.. on to the details of the trip!!
Monday, 28 April
we left the house at 8.30am and it was a pretty long drive. my dad said he had driven 10 hrs all together..with stops in between of course. we went to was deer-o-dome. it's a deer farm and the deer they breed are mostly for consumption. it was quite interesting and we learnt that the main difference between a deer and an antelope is that the deer's antlers drop off every spring and grow again..each time with one more branch added to show the age. deer-o-dome also had rabbits and guinea pigs and chickens running around. the guinea pigs were soooo cuteee!! hehe. we got to feed them too. o yarh. and there were kangaroos and geese and a horse too. all very cute. = ) then we went to this place called the blow holes . the walk down to the actual site of the blow holes was reallyyyy long..but it was quite worth it because the view from there was really cool and we got to see water being blown through the holes in the rocks [which are cracks forced open by the water and air pressure] after that, we made our way to Karri Mia Resort. the drive there was quite a long one and by that time, the sun was already setting so it was kind of dark. Thankfully, we got there safely and went to have dinner at the restaurant within the premises. Dinner was really yummy and we were really impressed by the bungalows because they were soooo much better than the ones we stayed in when we went to Dunsborough and Augusta. = ) that meant clean toilets, nice beds [that came with an electric blanket], a working tv, a nice kitchen and overeall cleanliness. o yes, and not to mention an amaaaaaazing view from the verandah.
Tuesday, 29 April
i was pleasantly greeeted my younger sister, lynne. i half-opened my eyes and there she was, grinning at me and she said "good morning" in the most excited and enthusiastic tone of voice anyone could possibly hear in the morning. anywae, we had breakfast out on the verandah..looking out at the valley and the wilson inlet [how quaint!]. before setting out, we went to the toffee factory which was next to the restaurant. well, it wasn't actually a factory.. you could just see how the lady makes the toffee..had some free samples. mmm. it was really yummy and so we bought some macadamia brittle. After the toffee factory, we made our way to Albany so that we could go to the whale museum. for those of you who dont know, Albany used to be where a major whaling station was and so that whaling station is now a museum. it was an interesting place...but i thought it was sooo cruel to kill so many whales. thank goodness they've stopped. it was just all tooo cruel. the tour guide told us how they shot explosive pellets into the whale's head and then they'd tow the dying whale to the station..where they would get an inspector to make sure that it was the right length. and then, there'd be 9 or 10 men to a whale, and they would cut it up into smaller pieces and peel off the blubber [which was just like peeling the skin of a banana...] after this, they would throw the carcass, the blubber, the skin and meat into a hugeee pressure cooker. and so a 40 tonne whale would be reduced to 11 tonnes. but the head would put aside so that the jaw could be removed and the teeth could be extracted [precious ivory you see]. that's about all i can remember of the process..weell...all that i WANT to remember anywae. i feel so sad for the whales. i guess the only good thing about this whaling station is that the whole whale was used. and..Did you know that dolphins are part of the whale family?? well, after that. we headed back towards denmark to go to the Al Paca and Koala Farm and Bartholomew's Meadery. buuut, the drive to the Al Paca and Koala Farm took longer than expected because we were temporarily misplaced! sooo, we ended up just going to Bartholomew's Meadery which is just this place where they extract honey from the honey combs. they had all sorts of honey and even had different flavours of ice cream with honey in it and they also had honey wine [which was quite nice..]. nothing much to see though, just to buy! My dad was kind of disappointed cos he thought you could actually watch them extract the honey and see actual honey combs. sooo we went to greens pool and elephant rocks. wow. that's all i can say! before taking a walk to elephant rocks and greens pool, we met these 2 guys [one older and one younger] who had just walked up there and they said it was really worth it. from what they were wearing i kind of figured they worked at some wild life place near by. anywae, they older guy asked where we were from and when he heard we were from s'pore he started talking to my dad. while the younger guy just stood there and smiled. -sigh- that's all he needed to do! lol`* he had the nicest smile and he looked soo cute too! ANYWAY, we took their advice and walked up there. they were right.. the view from up there was really something.. and so this meant more photo opportunities!! And just in case you want to know why it's called elephant rocks, the rocks are reallyyy huge - like elephants. [stating the obvious, but anywae..] after watching the sun set a little bit, we made our way back to the car and drove back to the resort. had some dinner and then went back to the bungalow/unit [whatever you like to call it]. played a game of Cranium [this realllyyy funn team game!]..and then watched some good ol' SBS..they were showing some french movie, which of course involves sex, nudity and coarse language. but hey, it's on SBS so it's not porn.
Wednesday, 30 April
check out time was 10 am..but we left at 9am! was pretty dead in the morning. well, not dead...just a bit annoyed at first cos i couldnt really sleep properly and we were woken up at 7.30. had breakfast outside again, but this morning..the view was different cos it was really misty in the distance. but it was all veryyy bee-you-tee-ful ! took some pictures before we left, and then we went off the Al Paca and Koala Farm..the place only opened at 10am..and we were kind of early sooo we decided to go to Mad fish Bay cos we didnt go the day before. it was also a reallyyy nice place..but it was more secluded and it was weird, cos the currents in the bay were moving in 2 different directions. finally made our way to the Al Paca and Koala Farm after that and the animals were all really cute!! there were koalas, birds, al pacas, llamas, goats, pigs, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, an attention-seeeking donkey, a bison, funny cows, trout..and i think that's it. all in all, a nice farm. Then we went to this place where they had a tree top walk and it was really cool walking on these metal bridges that were suspended among the trees...and the highest part of it was 40 m high!! after that, we started to make our way home..buut of course, not before stopping off at this herb garden cafe/craft shop for lunch. the map made it look like it was quite close by..but it turned out to be quite a distance away. well, when country-folk say it's not very far.. city-folk would like to think otherwise!
the drive home was a pretty long onee... i think it took us about 6 hrs or so. *phew* well, now i'm home! hehe. got back about 2 and a half hrs ago buut i'm not really that tired any more!
i guess i'll end here tonite. *waves bye*

2003-04-27T06:38:00.000-07:00

o and i'm going away..and the return of gilmore girls is on tuesday nite! but i'll be in the country!! ahh!! and i checked the tv guide, and they're not showing it on gwn!! ahh!! i need someone to tape it for me!!

2003-04-27T06:11:00.000-07:00

well! i'm off to denmark tomorrow!!
yes denmark. but no, not in europe. just down south. only about 4 or 5 hrs drive away from perth.
i'm quite excited about it, cos i really like long driving trips like that! and i have candy! *grin*
will be back on wednesday..but i'm not quite sure what time.
so until then, i'll be filling up on candy and soaking in the beee-you-tee-ful scenery!!
*waves bye*

2003-04-26T20:58:00.000-07:00

dear someone,
i just feel so lost and lonely right now. i'm just wondering what i'm doing here? A better life in perth they say, but how much better is this?? i miss my friends, i miss my grandparets, i miss wilson!! the things that make me feel happy arent here. sure, i have family and relatives with me. but my friends, it's taken me so long to form friendships in the 14 years i've lived in s'pore. and to come here, i had to leave it all behind-leave them..
it just gets lonely sometimes. i wish wilson were here most of all... i just miss having him by my side; being able to call him or sms him whenever i want.
i just want to go back to s'pore for a while. you say i'm crazy, but.. it's the little things about s'pore i miss - busrides, mrts, orchard rd, going out after school.. just being able to go any where independantly. i even miss school. i don't quite know if it's the place or people i miss in school.. or just overall school. i just miss it!! it's the same here. it's so different. less stress, yes. but i kind of miss it sometimes[the stress cos it's a bit strange not feeling much of it any more]. And plus, i'll never know what jc life is going to be like..the scariness of the o levels..the tough, hectic jc life. that's what i've heard anywae, how would i know? i'm never gonna experience it. it's only 2 years of one's life but those 2 years could have easily been the most memorable. and i'm missing all that!!
don't get me wrong, i'm thankful for the friends i've made here [tina, grace, heidy, stef,marsia, edmond..] and i like it here in perth. i think. but somehow it feels like something's missing. it's really funny, sometimes i feel so lucky to be here, but other times it just feels like absolute crap! i feel like i'm missing soo much when i'm here..like seeing my friends change, seeing the better side of people i may have previously disliked..and i wonder: what went wrong with the friendship i lost?? a friendship that was soo important to me..it's all gone. just like that. i miss her, i miss sam. i guess we just grew apart.. but i never got to say a proper goodbye and it really saddens me when i think of how our friendship ended. o lord, please help me! give me the strength and faith to trust in you..and whatever else i need to help me feel better than i do right now. i just hope that i don't lose the friends i've made so far..i really miss them and love them soo much.
it's so hard to fathom. it's all happened so fast. one year and a few months ago, i was still in s'pore - in sec 2. and before i knew it, i was here - in perth..in year 10. now i'm still in perth - in year 11.and it was only last december that i went to s'pore for a holiday. 20 days..it was way too short!! how am i supposed to spend enough time and meet all my friends?? but this trip also made me realise how long i've been away and how mucho f my friends' lives i've missed..i just felt somewhat alienated from them..and the only person who didn't make me feel that way was wilson. i thought it was so wonderful how we just started talking likei 'd always been there, even though i hadn't seen him in 344 days. and all i saw him was for a little more than 2 weeks. 2 weeks out of a whole year! but that's what long-distance relationships are all about rite? so in many ways, i'm still very thankful that we're still together and now at least i know what true love is. 1 year 3 months and 8 days worth of it, and many more to come!
after those 20 days in s'pore, i'm back here again. it's all happened so fast. and before i know it, i'll be back in s'pore again. i hope. we have to go back! we cant NOT go back this year! it'd just be too painful..too hard and too unreasonable.
hmm. so now what? what is home? perth or s'pore. s'pore could be my home. afterall, i grew up there and it's too hard to hide the singaporean in me[whatever that is!] but perth, maybe it's my home too. i mean, i do live here and i will be spending some part of my life here - going to uni after i finish year 12. i really dont know! what would you consider home? how would you define a home? this is what's making me feel kind of lost...where exactly do i belong or best fit in? where am i supposed to say: "o yes. i'm going home!" - do i say that when i'm going to s'pore? or when i'm leaving s'pore?
somehow i feel more comfortable saying: "yeah. i'm going back to s'pore." i suppose at this stage of my life, s'pore's still a bigger part of me.. a bigger proportion of home is there. or least i think so anywae. so then perhaps right now, home is 2 parts. or is it??
well, thanks for listening to me ramble cos i feel slightly better now. thank you, whoever you are.

love always,
lynda

2003-04-25T07:04:00.000-07:00

kind of exhausted now. just did lots of accounting homework. did lots of questions..long ones..and then wrote out some notes to study for the theory part. hmm. but somehow i'd still rather do accounting than econs. lol`*
well today was quite a funn day. i think.
started the day off at 9.45am...cos my dad came into my room to ask me if i wanted to go out for lunch. ahhh. i just felt like throwing something at him. slept at 1am so 9.45 is kind of early. anyhow, lazed around in bed for a while longer and then went to shower. lunch was really good. = ) went to fremantle for lunch..went to cicerello's. mmm. seafood is good. after that, we went to walk around in the freo markets and i finally found my rainbow beanie!! *does a happy dance* and only for $10 too!! another highlight was going for ice cream after that...jamaican chocolate. yumm again. well, went home after that. wait! not before going to get my donut! hehe. THEN we went home. the time after that wasn't too exciting cos i decided to start doing some hw [i can't believe i'm saying this]. read my book and practised trumpet in between though. dinner was good too. = ) [gee, today's full of good food huh.] and i couldn't resist any longer, so i consumed my donut. satisfied. kudos to the dutch.
good thing about fridays is that the next day is saturday!! and tomorrow's also my younger sister's early birthday lunch/celebration [although i'd like to think it's her farewell cos we're shipping her off to russia] so my auntie and uncle and cousin are coming over too. more good food! what a fitting way to say goodbye eh.
while doing work just now, i was listening to some old cds and stuff. hehe. some really cheeesy ones
[i.e. annoying pop]. and found some really nice, sweet, romantic songs. hmm. but i hope it's not the beginning of another sappy-love-song mood!!! *screams in agony* .
well at least now i know why i dont listen to those cds any more.

origin of donuts!!

"For over two hundred fifty years, doughnuts, which originated with Dutch bakes did not have holes in the center; the hole was an American modification that, once intoduced, redifined the shape of the pastry. The deep fried batter doughnut originated in the sixteenth century Holland, where it was known as an Olykoek..." -charles panati

gotta love those dutch people.

well apparently they're still searching for the true origin of the donut. so until then, this is all i could find.
thank you http://www.shipleydonuts.com/webpage/history.html

2003-04-24T03:03:00.000-07:00

i think i've just gone a little overboard with printing pictures. oops.
i feel like a 10 year old!! hmm. but edison chen just looks so cute. nevermind the stupid name or that he cant sing at all.. he's cute!
see?? 10 year old!!.

2003-04-24T03:00:00.000-07:00

today was pretty eventful..compared to the other days anywae.
went to the city with grace...even though it was raining [it still is though!]. so that would make it our 2nd trip to the city while it was raining! except this time it wasn't as funny..cos marsia wasn't around to scream and whine that she was getting all wet. but still, we had funn. = ) didn't manage to get my coke float though. apparently they've stopped selling them. -sigh- o well. so a dissatisfied lynda [without her coke float!] and satisfied grace [with her caramel coffee!] sat in macdonalds. surrounded by loud, screaming kids, who obviously had too much sugar in their systems. but thankfully, they left after a while and more kids came! this time more mellow ones who just kept staring longingly at grace's happy meal toy.
the rest of the day was pretty good. we managed to get the stuff we needed to buy in record time. and since my craving for a coke float was not yet satisfied.. we went to have ice cream at macdonalds. = ) had a berry tornado mcflurry. it's really nice actually. *grin* this time we went to another macdonalds because we decided that the other one was abit dirty and gross. spent quite a while in there.. bitched about people. well lent's over anywae. so grace is allowed to be mean to people and i'm allowed to eat ice cream.
o yes. went to jb hi-fi to look for the hip mo toast cds..and they do sell them..it's just that they've sold out! soo i'll be back in june when the new cd comes out. and i'll save up money..so that way, i can buy all 3 cds at one go! *grin*
and as usual, we saw strange people in the city. this lady was walking behind me going into jb hi-fi too..and she was wearing this weird dress..and she was carrying dolls. yes. you heard me right. dolls. was kind of creepy. we also tried to figure out the gender of this person standing in line at macdonalds. didn't see his/her face..only could guess from the back. hmm. well i thought he/she was a man. grace thought otherwise. but, it's always debatable.
went into david jones to try to look for that really really really really really really really nice dress. but no luck. -sigh- and i wanted to wear it for either the dinner dance or the ball. looked all over, but nooopes. no sign of it. arghhh. saw this other dress though. it's quite nice. it's just that it's got this funny oriental-like metal thing attached to it somehow. hmm. if i can do without it then the dress is really nice. = )

to-do list:
buy:
--> ~~wrapping paper~~
-->~~a box [for trumpet cleaning stuff]~~
-->writing paper for schoool [maybe tomorrow..]
other cravings:
-->~~check prices on hip mo toast cds~~
-->coke float from macdonalds [start selling them again!!!]

new craving:
--> DONUTS

2003-04-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

tada! i'm a nerd! hehe. yeap. that's me. specs, retainers. the works.
i've been thinking of making a new pair of specs..so that there is a possibility of me venturing out of the house in glasses. *gasp* that would be weird, considering i havent worn glasses outside the house since sec 1 [which was only 3 years ago.] and i really cherish my contacts!! i dont know what i would do without them!! u could say i'm pretty vain, but hey, which girl isnt?? cos with my contacts, gone are the days of disgusting year book pictures and other spectacle-related hassles. *grin*

--> wrapping paper
-->a box [for trumpet cleaning stuff]

well. i'm totally content with my blog now. -satisfied smile-
the links and all are here and i pat myself on my back for not screwing any part of this blog up.
-another satisfied smile-

ah. been having nice dreams lately. nice, and not to mention bizarre. dont really want to go into detail about them, but i wish that parts of it would come true. all i want is to see wilson again. well then, i guess it's time for me to start my countdown to the 2 wonderful events in december [which incidentally, happens to be my favourite month of the year!] - my birthday and my return to s'pore!

one last thing before i end:i hope lq comes to perth to study!! *grin* it'll be really great to have a friend here!! *hint* *hint*

2003-04-22T23:18:00.000-07:00

what is with all this pms-ing in this household??
hmm anywaee. i didn't manage to get much work done yesterday. buut no surprise there i bet. all i did was plan my autobiography for english..and i found some pictures and stuff to include in it. i also got distracted by "the life of pi". decided to read at least 2 books in these 2 weeks of holidays..and so i'm starting with "the life of pi" since i barely got to read it during the school term.
the original plan to go out today was ~~cancelled~~. but it's been postponed to tomorrow! hehe.yeap. hopefully the weather wont be too bad tomorrow..cos rite now.. the sky looks a little threatening. anywae, dad needs to do some work on the computer..so i'll come back later!
*o and btw, the shout out thing works!! = ) dont hesitate to leave me msgs and stuff.

2003-04-21T22:21:00.000-07:00

this is the earliest i've been awake since the holidays started!! lol`*
woke up feeeling extremely hungry.. tried to ignore the growling but couldn't so i went to get a drink. but i'm not hungry any more. well, i'm going to start on my homework today!!
holiday homework:
>>accounting [finish all questions of chapter on journals] and [study for tests on 9 and 14 may]
>>english autobiography

we're going away on friday, saturday and sunday for lynne's birthday. driving down to denmark and staying in some place that overlooks the Wilson Inlet and possibly the southern ocean too. oo

2003-04-21T07:12:00.000-07:00

okae. i'm just feeeling this slight injustice.
when i talk to my friends, they ask me : "when are you coming back to s'pore??"
well, what i'd like to know is : "when are you coming to visit me??"
i dunno. i just feel that it's unfair that way. soo many people are coming to perth for holidays and stuff, so why are none of those people my friends?!

2003-04-21T03:35:00.000-07:00

happy easter everyone!!
had a bbq at my auntie's house yesterday. hehe. was really funn. lots of food. after eating, spent most of the time watching episode after episode of "seinfield" cos there was some "seinfield" marathon on cable. after a while, we went to play cricket at the applecross oval. 7 of us fit into one car. lol`* but it wasnt a very long ride, so it wasn't too bad. played some cricket and it was quite funn..just had nooo idea how to play and so when the other batter said to run - i ran. for dinner, we had ice cream [ *grin* ] and i also had this otak bun. was yumm. and what's an easter sunday without gambling eh?? lol`* we played mahjong for most of the nite, but we didnt use real money.
spent the whole afternoon watching movies with grace! well, it was only 2 movies. okae, 2 and a bit. "my big fat greek wedding" is really funny. hehe. greeks are so funny, their family gatherings really remind me alot of indian family parties and stuff. all the dancing and music. "the hours" is an interesting movie. one of those movies that you watch in english, one of those movies that u analyse. it's quite sad actually, but interesting. if you're into those type of movies that are pretty deep and meaningful, and if you like to have a good think about what the plot and all mean then you should watch it. = ) actually, i kind of like it.
we watched a little bit of "dreamcatcher".a bit, because after about 20 mins of it we just thought it was getting too pointless and weird.
anywae, i'll be back again later. parents are yelling at me to go for dinner. *runs off*

short people - Randy Newman

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

i love this song.

well well. i've discovered that painting my nails can be very therapeutic. could'nt play my trumpet cos it was too late at night, or too early in the morning. so i decided to go do my nails. and so now not only do i have pretty coloured nails, i'm also happier.
slept at 3.30am. was just sitting in my rooom wondering what the hell was wrong with me. i shouldn't gotten to pissed, or maybe i should've?? anywae, the anger's completely passed and i'm happy again. = ) practically slept half the day away - woke up at 1.30pm. was pleasantly woken up by laughter coming from the living room...turns out my mum and sister were watching "my big fat greek wedding". called grace back and she said that they were out at garbo watching "what a girl wants". ugh. of course i wouldn't go watch it with them. no offence or anything, but it just looks so dumb and predictable. and most of all, i loathe amanda bynes. she's so annoying and why on earth does she have her own show?? it's supposed to be funny. rite.
went over to my auntie's place and watched foxtel [equivalent to cable].. a little bit of mtv..a little bit of the x games..a little bit of nickelodean. i can't believe we actually sat through a whole hour of s club in hollywood.
watched a whole bunch of "actors" who couldn't make it in the acting world and so they resorted to appearing on this show.
saw this really pretty mobile cover..but it's for a 3315 or 3310. ahhh!!!! i really want it!!! tina's selling her mobile and she asked if i wanted it. it all depends on how much she's selling it for though. really cant afford anything at the moment. just saving up money so that i can eventually go on an enormous shopping spree!! which brings me to my next point - i really need a job.

2003-04-18T10:07:00.000-07:00

okae. that was completely unnecessary.
you didnt' have to say that. i know you probably didn't mean it and you probably meant it as a joke. well i didn't think it was a joke, even if it was, it was a really bad one.
and besides, maybe you ought to learn something called tact.
maybe i'm being too sensitive here, but well, you know that stuff like that gets me pissed off and it's happened before too.
i'm sure this anger wont last very long but i'm just angry cos i thought u would know better. i honestly thought you would.

2003-04-18T09:29:00.000-07:00

and the procrastinator strikes again. *evil laugh*
took me an hour to actually respond to my contacts drying on my eyeballs. and all because i was really comfortable on my chair and i couldn't be bothered getting my big butt off it.
weight-gain is truly annoying. it's soo easy to put on, but sooo hard to keep all the bloody fat off. argh. i should really stop pigging out.
it irks me that this time, i'm waiting for my period to come. i usually dread that time of the month and dont want it to come. but this month, i know it's supposed to come soon so that's why i'm waiting, expecting it come any time soon. *grimace*

2003-04-18T06:10:00.000-07:00

good friday.
well, after hearing the Lord's Passion over and over again.. i just feeel so horrible for what we've done to Jesus. i guess that's the point. but, the crucifixion was just so gruesome...and the jews, they were yelling out to crucify him and to free barabbas. i just couldn't really bring myself to participate in the gospel today.
they were singing very draaaggy hymns in church today...and just when i said "i hope they dont sing " they did. lol`*
i did try changing the template for my blog - an attempt at trying to get the format for my blog back to normal. but nothing's happening... geez. the comput'er's been annoying me alot recently...the other day i woke up early to try finish some work on the net, only to find that the computer kept hanging!! and thanx to some stupid virus, the msn explorer keeeps screwing up..and today..it's my msn.. i cant see what i'm typing. so if i happen to talk to u online, i apologise for any spelling errors and strange sentences that might not make sense!!

2003-04-17T07:50:00.000-07:00

ahhH!!! noo more schoooooool for 2 weeeeks!!!
i'm really gonna cherish these 2 weeeks = ) been waiting since week 4 of term 1. hehe.
there must be something about holy thursday, but i always find myself pigging out on this day. hmm. had a mini picnic during recess today...and it was really funn!! and recess seemed to go on for a longer time today..which was good!! and only had some lessons today.. like human bio and accounting: spent the periods doing work [but that doesnt mean you have to get it done..= P] and for econs, english and RE we didn't do much. hehe. = ) had a little quiz in econs and did a reflection for english and decorated and coloured in sheets with easter eggs on them!! oo! mrs. sawaris also brought in hot cross buns and butter. mmm.. was really yummy. was sitting in accounting staring at the clock, waiting for it to read 1 o clock!! *grin* the bell finally went and i must say, i've never gotten out of school so quickly before. lol`* grace's mum sent us to garden city and when we got there, tina wasn't there yet..sooo we went to jay jay's to get grace's belt...and then we went to get free food from the alinta gas chef's convention thingy. hehe. fooood!! the chilli potato stuff tasted pretty bad...but the banana pancakes were delicious..!! so i took a copy of the recipe..shall try it one day = P walked around a bit and then tina finally came!... they were hungry so we went to the food court. decided to get maccas and while standing in line, tina met alex and they were talking. soooo we went to sit somewhere nearby...and eventually alex came to join us cos his friends left to watch a movie. grace and i were surprised cos he actually talked to us too... we're usually used to being ignored by him since we dont speak the lingo. yeah, but today was different. and we learnt a new phrase: negative square [positive..geddit??] lol`* yeees..lame.. we know. waited around a bit more with him, cos his applecross friends were coming...and he didn't want to be loner..so we sat around and talked some more. after that, we went window shopping!! well.. since i only had $3 with me...and since i spent that on food [choc. milkshake and fries!!] i didn't buy anything. but i saw lots of nice stuff !! tried on the boots too!! muahahhahhahha. i love them. and plus, they make me feel o so tall.
well, the weather's getting coooler. = ) i kind of like it actually. hehe. hmm. cept the other day my lips turned blue. well i didnt' actually see them..but tina and grace said they did... i was feeeling really cold that day though.
o yes. and we had the easter choral performances at the aquinas chapel last nite....considering i had a pile of hw that was due the next day. everything was okae..until we got to the end..when the combined choir sang gloria by vivaldi...and it went on for about 15 mins!!! -sigh- they short pauses in between and that was deceptive in making us think that it was over...and grace kept wanting to clap. lol`* there were 3 soloists...but after the 1st soloist sang, i kind of tuned out cos that was already about 5 mins into the piece. one thing i've learnt from that is that every time a choir starts singing AMEN, it means that they're gonna go on for another 2 mins or so before ending with a grand AMEN.
and when ppl start singing "were you there?", you know that the song is finally ending when they start singing the verse that goes: were you there when they laid him in the tomb, were you there when they laid him in the tomb. [take a deep breath, here it comes...] o o o o sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble tremble. were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
you'd think that song was written in the time it took jesus to get crucified.

2003-04-15T07:09:00.000-07:00

*jumps for joy*
i'm feeeeling soo much better!! and happy too!! *grins*
hmm yes. hehe. i think i'm sort of back to normal...considering i was blabbering a whole lot today. lol`*
first thing i did today when i got home was to play my trumpet. ahhhh. was sooo nice to hear it again = ) and i went for choir this morning tooo..my throat felt a biiiit weird in the beginnning but after a while it was all okae!! and i'm really happy!! hehe.
weeell 1 and a half more days of schoool!! i really cant wait till thursday, 1 pm. freeeeeeeee!! *runs around* but until then, i gotta keep reminding myself that i still have some work to do before school ends. lol`* like my english journal. oops. keep forgetting about it and it's due on thursday. just peachy.
the whole day went by quite quickly... except when we had assembly. and as usual, when you're sitting in that hall..time just never seems to be passing..and it feels like the lunch bell is never gonna go.
well today in RE [religious education to those of you who dont know..], we tried to write with our feet.. this was after we finished watching "my left foot" - a movie about this irish man, christy brown, who was born with celebral palsy and it's about how he grew up to become a really good artist and eventually, write a book. and he did all this using his left foot. yeap. so mrs sawaris asked us to try using our right/left to write or draw..and i think i'm a right-footer. lol`*. maybe i'll practise in my spare time. but joanne was good at it!! and then in math...amy...as usual...had stuff to do. lol`* this time it was poking a hole in the top of my white out [or liquid paper..] and then squeezing the contents out as little drops on the back of my diary. she likened it to bird shit..but i personally, like to think it's snow!! = ) lol`*. and then last period camee...and thanx to marsia and stef we get to do our econs presentation on thursday!! *phew* and that was when i starting blabbering. hehe. which is a great improvement from what i was a few days ago. and i ate the easter egg that tina gave me.. was yummy. = P [thanx tina!!]
well that's about it really. i think that's about enough for today. hehe.
*note: i cant remember the other verses of our song!! oops. a little help maybe??

2003-04-14T01:22:00.000-07:00

okae. i feel really sick.
wait, not just sick. but a bit cranky and frustrated.
why??
because i cant play my trumpet! i cant sing! ahhh! being sick really bites!
got to school this morning and wasn't feeeling very cheerful..partly cos i couldn't go for jazz band. didn't do pe either and it was the last lesson of self defence!! and it looked really funn today..doing the different types of attacks and everything. -sigh-. and when marsia asked me if i was sick [even though i told her when we were in the locker room..and i was coughing a whole lot the whole morning], i said sarcastically "how did u figure that out??" hmm. yeah. so that could be reason why i didn't talk to her the whole day. and during math amy asked what was wrong with me [ah yes, once again. lol`*] and i told her i was sick..and annoyed. started a new chapter as well and amy was busy decorating her diary while mrs. webster was going through the exercise and stuff..so when we were set work to do, she [amy] asked me to teach her....so i did..but she wasn't really listening and kept cutting me off. i wasn't in the best mood so then i kind of yelled at her and she was like "okae okae..relax lynda.." and after that she kept reassuring me that she was just asking me if her working was right. sorry amy!! didn't mean to be so irritable..but your little pants-less men cheered me up! hehe. = ) the rest of the day was pretty alritee.. we wrote a song in music today. it's called what are you like? this is only a little section of it..cos i cant quite remember some of the lyrics from the other verses.
what are you like? by mr k and half the year 11 music in society students
i came from nerambeem in a dirty chevy
i came with my brother and he ain't heavy
three dollars fifty and a silver watch
a six pack of beer and a bottle of scotch

2003-04-12T23:11:00.000-07:00

the social last nite was pretty disappointing to say the least. hehe. i guess we expected a little too much?? i dunno.. well i didnt really..after last year's dance. but still. the dancing was funn though = ) we were meant to pour drinks and stuff in the kitchen area and we were just wondering why all the nice, cute guys never came to get drinks. lol`* there was breakdancing as well!! it was pretty cool. but there was these girls who kept squishing in between us...and they kept yelling. geez. how annoying. *gives those girls dirty looks* o yes and the music got annoying most of the time, the dj kept playing techno!!! arghhH!! it was very very very annoying. danced and danced till our feet got painful = ) after helping to clean up and everything, we went back to tina's house to get picked up and took some pictures while waiting but let's not go there. lol`*
got home and went to change cos it was freeeezing!! and didn't sleep till 1.40am or so cos i was talking to wilson. hehe. and the both of us weren't feeling too well either. yeahh. = ) but after putting down the fone, i went to bed and fell asleep quite fast..i think the medication kicked in. going to see the doctor tomorrow. it's about time i think. my throat was feeeling kind of sore and itchy this morning and my mucus has turned a slight tinge of yellowish-green [hahahah.. too graphic??] yeap. all i can think of now is the homework i have left to finish. heaps of accounting, econs and human bio. gee. sounds like fun hhahahhah.

havent been online for only 1 day or so?? i think.. hmm. yeah. been busy with hw lately. yesterday was wednesday. wasnt as crappy as i thought it would be.. hehe. but it was busy.. as usual. after schoool..had math tuition..and then i had to go to church for stations of the cross and rehearsals..so i didnt get a chance to do my hw till i got home..which was about 9.30pm. spent some time doing my math notes for the test tomorrow..and did my accounting hw. geez. spent the entire nite finishing it. o! and i watched survivor too.. i seriously hate rob! he's such a priss!! always complaining about this and that..and he was soo jealous of dave just cos he was close to heidi. rob's such a gurl.
yeah anywaeee.. set my alarm for 5.30am this morning to do a little facial! buut.. after i turned it off..i fell asleep again.. only to wake up 45 mins later..lol`* o well. was still really really really tired when i got to school though. -sigh- but we sang this really cute song for choir warm up today!! hehe.. i cant recall the title..but when i find the lyrics i'll type it up or something. = ) very nice song. and then second period came!! and it was music.. was really hoping that we wouldn't have to do our band performance cos we're not ready?? and besides, emma wasnt in schoool.. but we didnt have to do it! *phew* did solos instead..and i got picked by jill. joy. didnt go too badly..however today happened to be one of those non-high-D days..nonetheless, everyone said it was good. hahaha. riiiite. but i think so far, i really enjoyed everyone else's performance! = ) hehe. especially jill's. she wrote her own song called "the night before". [cos she wrote it the night before] and it was really funny. trumpet lessons were shortened today. lol`* cos i just couldn't get those high notes today.. so mr kelly just decided to leave it at that. well he says that my sound, rhythm and phrasing is good..i just need to sustain those notes. yeah. i'm a bit inconsistent though..well.. something to work on in the holidays!! = ) o !! and one more thing before i go !! went shopping with my mum n lynne after school today..and bought some clothes *grin* I'm soo happy.. !! finally..new clothes!! mostly for winter though. all i need to find now are some nice, cheap pyjama tops for winter. anyhooo that's about all that was exciting today.hehe. gotta go to church for reconciliation soon!! [hmm. easter's coming!!]

2003-04-08T04:14:00.000-07:00

oo!! i love this song : it's only a paper moon by ella fitzgerald. it's soo cute!! hehe i love it = )

hope all goes well!
p.s. hope i didnt offend anyone with that avril lavigne-dissing yarh?

2003-04-08T03:10:00.000-07:00

well it feels like i havent been online for aaages..but i came on for a while yesterday. hmm. but for the sole purpose of doing work. last minute work at that. -shrugs- would u expect anything less from the procrastinator??
monday seemed to go by really quick anywae.. and now.. it's tuesday!! not like there's anything to rejoice about..cos tomorrow's wednesday and wednesday's usually a crappy day. hmm.but nonetheless..today wasnt too bad. had cross country today!! lol`* came in 56th place.. 25 places down from last years' but considering that i'm not as fit as i was last year. = ) so i'm quite content. and somehow this year's course didnt seem as long as it did last year. hmm. well anywaeee.. had longer recess today.. = ) which was good. hehe. just sat around and bummed. and grace showed us what her new skirt looks like! it's very pretty = ) and we'll get to see it on saturday nitee!!! was kind of excited about the international social on saturday nitee..until i found out that apparently we have to keep to the punk theme. well sorry. i dont do themes. i only really follow themes when it's like a fancy-dress party or something..but other than that. no not really. especially since this one's supposed to be punk i.e. avril lavigne?? o purleeez. dont have much respect for people who wanna dress like her. ugh. she's pretty lame now i think. if they really want us, as the host school, to stand out then i'll wear a silly hat!! *grin*
the rest of the day went by pretty quickly...so nothing exciting really happened. hehe. o yes. in econs... grace, marsia and stef have started doing some word count. hehe. quite amusing really. stef was counting the number times mr flexman said "girls", marsia was counting "okae" and grace was counting "so".. and my job next lesson is to count "now". lol`*
there's the bachelor tonite!! hehe. that show's quite addictive.. even though i'm not one to watch reality shows much. = ) but it's interesting to see who gets in and stuff...and wat their dates are like. hahahah. = ) i'm going for helene. hope she gets in tonite. anyhoo..

so proud of myself, did 5 hrs of work today!!! managed to catch up on my human bio notes..and did lots of math as well. all very exhausting though. still have to finish my RE assignment and accounting hw. but wont be doing that until tomorrow i guess. was going to do my RE assignment now.. cos i have to do it on word..but o well. lol`* i've put it off for ages anywae.
anywae, i'm getting hungry. probably blog more later.

2003-04-04T01:04:00.000-08:00

it's friday!!! a h.. my second favourite day of the weeeek. muahahahah.
lynne's really creeeeping me out.. i think it was the coke she drank from one of those 2 litre bottles after she was already hyper.. from something. she's being a pain tooo. lol`* a h my sister's such a weirdo. well we were meant to share some of the coke, but she licked the rim of the bottle so i couldnt drink any more. ahhH!! get awayy!! she's farting and being gross!!! .. i'm feeeeling really woooozy now. but she aint smelly, she's my sister = ) oo!! i cant wait!! going to the opera soon!! = ) really really really really really really really really excited. hehe. hmm. orchestra this morning was okae. 'cept juliette wasnt theree..cos she wasnt feeeling well. hmm. really wished she was there..cos the trumpets kind of sucked today. lol`*. but then, the rest of the day went by pretty quickly though. the epw [some math test that isnt really based on textbook work..] was really bad. had nooo idea what i was doing. but the econs test wasnt too bad though. i think i wont do too badly. hmm. i like having human bio last period on fridays!! we usually have relaxed lessons. hehe. had a terminology quiz on blood.. and then we watched a video and made a word sleuth from there. hahahah. mrs tay treats us like little kids sometimes..gives us lollies for doing well in quizzes and stuff. = )
gonna go get ready and stuff. opera!! *jumps up and down*

2003-04-03T04:00:00.000-08:00

yet another week's gone by..and it's thursday again!! = ) .grin.
well.. had choir this morning.. and the year 10s were there tooo.. there were sooo many peoplee.. hmm didnt quite like it..i like it when it's just the year 11s and 12s = ) after they left, we sang laudate again. woww. that's all i can say. hehe. not being bhb or anything heree..but it sounded good. = )
u know what. i dont understand why people might feeel sorry for me being short. hmm. i really dont mind it. it's just that whenever someone goes "aww..you're soo short!!" then someone else would go "o dont be so mean.. wat if she cries or something." lol`* hmm. well. i've come to terms with it.. so say wat you want, i dont mind = ).
shit.
my reminder for me to go study's just beeped!! nooo!! i dont wanna go yet. well i'll go after this.. for sure.
but it was quite funny..cos the other day i lost my balance after trying to get music files from the top-most shelf in mr k's office. there was this "thud" and then "whoaa" and
mr k :"you alrite there lynda?"
me : yeap. i'm fine. just almost fell over. the shelf's really high.
emma hendrie: narh. how bout you're just short?"
me: ..well. yeees. but the shelf's really high!!!
-lynda walks off and hears mr k laughing-
rite now, i just feeel like complaining about my trumpet lesson today. even though some of you.. or almost all of you wont understand wat i'm whining about. but nevermind. the lesson today was irritating.. not that mr kelly was annoying. just that now i have to change my embouchure..cos my old one just really really sux.. [embouchure is the shape of one's lips when playing instruments such as the trumpet]. yes. so this is to improve the tone quality of my notes and to make my embouchure look better. ahhhhhh. was gettting kind of annoyed cos i couldnt play higher notes. "you need to blow alot harder to get those notes" ah yes. i know. so when i was done with my lesson, mr k and mr kelly were talking outside the music room and mr k asked how my lesson was. my answer : *scrunges up face* it was alrite.
anywaee! i'm really excited!! going to the opera tomorrow!! the merry widow. o k. so it sounds boring.. but well i'm game for anything new. and besides, it's opening nite too!! plus i managed to convice grace to come too!! *grin* thanx gracee!! *huggs*
there seems to be a new cricket in the house few days. mum vacuumed one up the other day cos it jumped out from no where and gave her a shock. but now there's a new one. lol`* we're just wondering where they're all coming from.
well..i 'd better go now. i did say i'd go off and study didnt i? *self discipline da!!!*

2003-03-31T01:01:00.000-08:00

just got back from schoool..and i really felt like blogging. so. here i am!! *does a little dance* feeling king of happy rite now.. pretty high spirits for a monday anywae. hehe. today wasnt such a bad day.. = ) not like i expected it to be one. but. u know wat i mean. yeap. took a walk down to the shops to buy glue..and some strawberry mentos for lynne..cos she's not feeeling too high-spirited about her piano. sugar always cheers people up! *grin* i know it works for mee!! it's quite windy day today.. and it looks like there's gonna be another bout of rain. which is good. i love rainy days. lovely weather to sleep in = ) anywaee..
woke up early for swing band this morning..maybe that's why i was feeling kind of tired for most of school. started the official school day with pe. more of self defence. no wrestling today..but we did lots of warm ups.. to warm us up. no pun intended or anything. cos it was kind of cold. then had econs.. didnt really feeel like doing work at all today. but i did it anywae so that i wouldn't have too much hw to do. recess was alrite..helped marsia with her stuff too..cos she fell down the stairs in the boarding house and so now she's got a bad ankle and she's on crutches!! poor gurl. today was the first time i was sooooo tired since school started..i dunno why. almost fell asleep during human bio. my god, that woman can talk. mrs tay just keeps talking and talking and talking in that monotone voice of hers. struggling to stay awake. then maths. at least there wasnt soo much talking then..but i lost my pretty purple pencil!!! aahhH!! hope i find it tomorrow.. was kind of annoyed and amy was like "geez lynda, your life doesnt centre around your pencil. here, use mine" lol`* -sigh- but it's such a nice pencil!! ahh!! and the worst has happened.. we might start graphing differentiation!! nooooo!! i like doing the algebra.. why do they have to wreck it by making us graph it?! why o why?! read this autobiography during english.. hmm. finally. something i can sort of relate to. cos she's asian and all. hmm yeah. but the story was abit boring though..nothing spectacular. o and spent the entire lunch time photocopying music for swing band. lol`* was quite funn.. photocopying. well actually heidy was doing the photocopying..but she was soo into it. had to tear her away from the machine when the bell rang..cos even after the bell rang she was still photocopying my music for me. hehe. music was quite funn today. didnt do much..just sat there listening to amy do her presentation on rap music. mr k seemed so intrigued by first her slides [fastfood backgrounds and all.lol`*] ..and then rappers in general. like their funny names and stuff. hehe. so that's why her presentation took up the entire period. cos he was asking all sorts of questions but it was an interesting presentation on the whole.
*thumbs up* = )
and laura's gonna burn 2 hip mo toast cds for me!! *jumps for joy* hehe. yay. anyhooo i think i should go shower and do some work. yes work. -sigh-. gonna spend tonite doing some work as well. i really should. *guilty look on face* didnt do much all weekend. come to think of it, wat did i do on the weekend?? besides watching lotr.. hmm. nothing. lol`* this is bad. all i remember of sunday was going to church...then lunch..then to my cousin's house and then falling asleep on his big comfy pillow and then waking up and watching a bit of the miss USA pageant. hahah. bimbo fest. and then going to church again cos i was in the choir for evening mass.hmm.went back to my auntie's house for dinner and then stayed there until like 9pm. came home. read my english book. and that was it. all the work i did on the weekend. i really need some self control and will power. lol`*

2003-03-28T04:01:00.000-08:00

it's friday once again!!
i love fridays. and the weekend. = )
hmm i got that song "another stupid love song" by amiel stuck in my head rite now.
after the official crappy day.. thursday and friday seem to be extremely good days!! *grin* i love thursdays. hehe. mostly cos it's a day of music, music and more music!! hahahah. let's seeeee..
thursday started off with choir!! that was funn.. hehe. and then period 2..we had music. and we started our presentations..but i havent done mine yet. gonna do it on monday. really hope everything goes well. then i got to miss accounting cos i had my trumpet lesson [yayy!!] my favourite part of the day!! really happy now..cos i can actually play high Ds. *satisfied smirk* although my sight reading kind of suxx.. lol`* was just wondering how mr kelly actually managed to sit through that whole song that sounded awful.. hmm. he just sat there with this look on his face that said: "no, dont stop. keeep going. i'm not going to help you with this." after that, he helped me with some bits from les mis [that's les miserables]..those little tricky rhythm bits. yeap. on the whole, that lesson was quite productive. then i went back to accounting, and mrs ryan was teaching the class about journals..which i still havent gotten down to trying to comprehend yet and that was the end of schoool!! but. there was still that extra choir rehearsal = ) hehe that was really funn though. not everyone turned up though. went down to the chapel to sing laudate dominum...and it sounded pretty good. even without some other people. hehe. i'm serious. gonna make people cry when they listen to it. as a reward for staying back after schoool for rehearsals, mr k gave us chocolates!! = ) hehe mm..yumm.
today went by pretty quickly actually. had orchestra in the morning. played les mis the whole timee.. and so it's been playing in my head since 8.30am. first two periods went by really quickly.. didnt get much work done either. music was funn! we practised concert band and orchestra parts. and then came econs. ha. mr flexman didnt come!! *rejoice* so mr wray came in to relieve us. [ah mr wray. funny story. yesterday, we were all in one of the music rooms during lunch and i really felt like puking. so i went to the toilet and i saw mr wray walk out very quickly. so i was wondering why. well. i stepped in the toilet and ugh. to those of you who dont know this: the toilet in the music department is unisex. it's just a little cubicle thing, much like a closet. hmm yes. it was extremely disgusting. soo i ran back to the music room to tell grace lol`*. so now every time we see mr wray, we're reminded of the stench he left behind.] yeap. but i did some work in econs this time. hehe. had an accounting test as well. didnt actually study very much for it.. but i seemed to know what i was doing.. or so i thought anywae. hmm. and the last period was funn too.. hahah we didnt do much work during human bio. learning about blood pressure and heart rate and stuff. soo we spent some time measuring heart beats and stuff. lol`* and then we got to measure our blood pressure but the bell rang, so i didnt get my chance. but i will one day. cos my dad has one of those things.. it's called a .. hmm. it's one of those words that's hard to remember. yeap. so today was a funn day. = ). well i'm gonna go now...but i'll be back later on.. *runs off*

2003-03-26T05:03:00.000-08:00

talk about bad days. well. it's official. the 26th of march is officially a crappy day!!
the day started off bad.. couldnt play the high notes rite in concert band.. was getting annoyed. and then we had an accounting test in period 2..which i didn't really prepare for [so it's my fault really].. so i kind of screwed up the test.. my trial balance didnt balance. spent ages trying to find the error..but i couldnt..so i just handed my paper up. o well. grace, tina and i were the depressed/moody lot today during recess.. and since we're usually the ones who get hyper and talk alot..the group was somewhat dead. marsia, stef and heidy rarely get hyper..so as grace said "there wasnt anyone to get her hyper". yeap. was quite depressing really. and i must apologise to heidy and stef for being so snappy... soo sorry okie?? hmm was being really bitchy today. but not intentionally. honest. and to amy: thanks for trying to cheer me up and for trying to find out why i was soo moody. but i really didnt know why.
the trumpet really is a great comfort to me. after private practice today in music i felt soo much better..and it's amazing how i got the high notes during that time. i guess being frustrated helps. hmm.. but i know tomorrow will be a better day !! definitely!! many things to look forward to = ) like choir.. twice a day.. and music...and my trumpet lesson!! a h. cant wait. and thursday is one day closer to friday..which is another day closer to the weekend!!. god i love weekends.
to all my friends in s'pore: i really hope u guys are alrite!! dont get sick okaee??? u guys really take care of yourselves!!! i'll be praying for ya. *huggs*

2003-03-24T05:36:00.000-08:00

o and i'm sooo annoyed with nova 93.7. geez. kept playing tatu songs.. u know those russian gurls with the annoying, high pitched voices.. they're practically screeeeching. geez. heard their songs 5 times today.ahhh.. was driving me mad..
a h yes and i believe last nite darren hayes' song i miss you was speaking to me. sheeeeesh. that's how depressed i was.

2003-03-24T05:33:00.000-08:00

= )
i'm feeling so much better than yesterday!! .. was feeling lonely, sad and depressed yesterday afternoon.. the tears just started flowing out.. didn't actually know what i was crying about. then i realised i was crying cos i was feeeling lonely.. missed wilson lots. -sigh- yeah. but i'm feeling better now. it's nice to know that my trumpet can offer some comfort = ) and of course sms-ing wilson too.
well today was an o k day!! turns out mr k's letting us have 2 more days to prepare our music presentations. lol`* hmm yeah. but i'm done with it. so yay!! but i have an econs test tomorrow.. on demand and supply. well it's actually something that makes sense to me.. so it shouldnt be too bad. i hope. oo! got a human bio prac tomorrow too! gonna dissect a sheep's heart. hahahah. baa. mr k asked me if i was coming for swing band now.. well actualy i think it wasnt asking..it was more like "hey lynda, come for swing band on mondays!! we're starting new songs and everything!" yeah. so i guess i'm going. which means i'll have to catch a lift from grace on thurs and fri mornings cos i dont think my mum's too happy about having to send me to school early 4 days in a row. i asked her this afternoon, on the way home from schoool and she started going on and on about whether i could cope with going to school early on so many days...i just told her that if i didnt try, i'd never know.. and besides.. if i was in s'pore, i'd be waking up heaps earlier. so the rest of the journey home was silent. o well.
other than that, today was alrite = ) spent the afternoon doing work! finally managed to get down to doing some work. lol`* yeah. i'll probably go for a run tomorrow after school. i should. said i would last tuesday but i didnt. but i will tomorrow. i think i'll stop talking about it now.. even not i'll change my mind soon.

2003-03-22T23:19:00.000-08:00

well i dont know about you, but i think that most of saddam hussein's story is propaganda.. like how he pulled the bullet out of his thigh using a pair of scissors and then escaping on a horse. they've been having live coverage of the war on tv these past few days.. they dont show anything else dammit!! saw the newspapers this morning, and it said that the iraqi troops surrendered.. but how can they surrender so easily?? personally, i think saddam hussein might be luring the coalition troops and then strike. hmm. what a scary thought though. i mean what if he suddenly decides to drop a surprise bomb... in australia??
anyhooo.. enough about the war.
some songs have been stuck in my head these past few days.. hmm. they wont get out!!!
another stupid love song - amiel
written in the stars - elton john and leann rimes
busted - year 3000
jewel - hands
going for jazz by the river later on..!! i really cant waiit!! = ) *grin* hope the weather will be nice too!

well the war's started and there's coverage of the latest war-related events on the news and stuff.. was just reading this 24 page pullout in the west australian this afternoon and i happened to come across this article on saddam hussein : his family background and stuff. hehe. what i found interesting was :
that saddam hussein was an assasin and his first victim was a leading communist, Saadoun al-Tikriti in 1958. Later that year, Iraq's royal family was murdered in a bloody revolution and a military dictatorship under Abdul Karim Qassem seized power. The Baathist leadership wanted to kill Qassem and gave this job to Hussein, who basically screwed things up. lol. Apparently, Hussein planned to drive a car into the path of Qassem's motorcade and open fire. But the would-be driver forgot the keys. So hussein and his men were reduced to blazing away at Qassem as he swept past, which wounded him and killed his driver. [now this is the funny bit..] With a bullet in his left leg, Mr Saddam was carried to safety. He then cut the bullet out of his thigh with a pair of scissors and then escaped to Baghdad on..[get this..] HORSEBACK!! Despite his wound, he swam the Tigris to reach the safety of al-Ouja, his birthplace, and then escaped to Syria. For almost 4 years after failing to kill Qassem, Hussein lived in exile in Damascus and then cairo. His political star later rose when he was made a full party member. On July 17 1968, the Baathists seized power by capturing the presidential palace in Baghdad. [ Hussein burst through the palace gates on a tank, firing its gun and leading the attack] But amongst all these bad things, he transformed iraq by building tower blocks and freeways, schools and compelled adults to attend classes on pain of three years' in jail. All human beings get greedy and obsessed with power, and so he later spent the money earned from oil on an ever bigger military machine. By the mid 70s, he had become de facto ruler of iraq in july 1979, won the presidency. To celebrate his success, he announced a wholly fictitous "syrian plot" and had 66 colleagues led out and shot. Hussein has done some other horrific things, and since then, he has led a lonely life amid great wealth. He killed 2 sons-in-law after they defected in Jordan, then returned full of contrition. He is now estranged from his 2 daughters and his marriage is over after he had an affair.
isnt that sad?. i think that's the saddest part about his life. that he's lonely.
well, dont forget to continue praying for all those people in iraq, for troops who are out there fighting this war.

*blows nose* sneeezing again. well, i have an english essay tomorrow..and what am i doing? i'm online.. lol`* hmm. but at least i did my hw.. = )
Discuss the ways in which the non-fiction narrative text, "The New Kid and The Racehorse Goanna" from Stories from the Suburban Road written by Tom Hungerford, presents ideas and attitudes to people, places and events.
hmm that's the basic gist of the topic for this essay... -sigh- i hate reading all these texts written by australians.. or about australia... we hardly ever get to read texts about other cultures, or countries or whatever. argh. the last text we read was something about the injustices suffered by the aboriginal people in the past. yeah so they suffer injustices, but i hardly ever see them trying to create a better image for themselves...some stealing cars and breaking into houses and stuff. i know i'm generalising when i say that, but still. anywae.. i think the most interesting part was when the guy stole a car and drove off a cliff.
so the war might start tomorrow. everyone should be praying for those who are going to be directly or indirectly affected in the war - people of iraq, military troops fighting. i think prayer is really important rite now. there's this close-up picture of Bush in the papers today.. lol`* he looks like a monkey.. seriously. unibrow and all.hahahah. and the funniest thing is that the caption below the picture said "determination" he's probably wondering what the hell that is anywae. what determination?? his face doesnt even remotely look like he's determined. in fact, his face looks the same all the time. it's just blank expression.
well, i'm gonna be joining orchestra now. friday mornings. so that's 3 early mornings in a row. o well. i dont mind really. i reckon early mornings are better than late afternoons. just gonna try this out for a while.. see if i can cope. i'm sure i can though.
..ahh..still sneeezing.

just finished typing up the survey for my music project!! quite funn drawing lines
and typing up questions and stuff.. hehe i feel like a teacher!! cant wait to do my presentation
actually. = ) .. hmm.. i think it must be the cold medication talking..but at least i'm feeeling heaps better
than when i came home today.. felt sooooo lousy... kept sneeezing..and so my nose was hurting.
i guess it's partly cos it's that time of the month again..so maybe that kind of added to the lousy feeeling.had econs last period, and mr flexman wasnt around again..but we still had work to do... 'cept it wasnt that spiritual antenna guy relieving our class. lol`* i did some work for most of the period..but grace wasnt in a working mood so she wasnt doing her work. *tsk* buut when i reached the question on the "invisible hand" and how it affects demand and supply. eck. didnt really know how to answer the question..soo i stopped. hehe. hmm but we reckon it's a magical thing.. "watch out for that invisible hand! u'll never know when it's gonna get u!" hmm yeah. well the bell rang. didnt feel like getting out of my chair. but i did. then i didnt feel like walking all the way down to my locker. grace had to drag me out of the econs classroom. hmm. well toook forever to get down to my locker.. packed almost my entire locker into my bag. heavy. walked down to where i usually wait for my dad and then i get an sms from him telling me to wait for him at the primary school carpark cos lynne has debating. *curses under breath* thankfully tina was there!! was talking to michelle cos she didnt want to go home yet.. cos that would mean having to start doing work! lol`*
the year 12s [ that means last year's year 11s] came to talk to us today and give us some advice and stuff on how to handle year 11 and the workload and all. hmm. made me feel kind of guilty about not doing work for the past 2 weekends. dunno larh, but after the first 2 weeks of school.. i just started to slack off and lose all motivation. o well. gonna do a little plan for my study next week.. never actually done one of those before so gonna try and see if it works for me.
well me gots to wake up early tomoro.. got concert band. *waves bye*

of the plastic it was in and then realised i had to oil the valves.. only to discover that i cant
seem to get the oil out of the little container.. i checked to see if the hole was sealed or something..
hmm but nopes.. apparently not... so i dont know what's happening.. hmm. will fix it later!! decided to come

my journal's a bit crap compared to some other people. then we had a little performance between the 2 bands..so we all played stuff we've been working on. arghhh..i'm sure i completely wrecked it for our band.. feeel so horrible.. tried to sing. but nothing came out. it was just completely off and everything!!! *blushes*
soooooo embarrassing!!!
let's see.. wat else. ah yes. did wrestling for pe again today.. lol`* it's sooo fun.. catapulted people today..
if u dont know wat i mean. this is what i mean : you're lying down and u have someone sitting on your belly and pinning your wrists down. so then what you have to do is, to put your feet on the ground as close to your butt as possible and then lift your pelvis and your partner will go flying!! it's quite funn actually..i thought the flying would be funn..but it's actually kind of scary.. hehe hmm. cant wait till next week!! we're gonna be learning how to use our legs to strangle someone..o i just love self defence =)
mr flexman didnt come today for econs.. sooo we had this relief teacher.. who is the funniest-looking man ever.. lol`* glasses, balding down the middle, greying hair [wat's left of it is grey] big eyes, a paunch and he carries a briefcase.. had him for RE [ religious education ] before and he was making us meditate.. telling us about our spiritual antenna.. yes. so that's what i call him [ spiritual antenna guy ] cos i dont know his name. he just talks in a such a prim and proper way.. and the choice of words he uses.. hmm.
"now girls, i want you to start reading through your textbook and highlighting any important points. this is very important because your mind might not be completely here and you may be day-dreaming. if you highlight the important parts then when you wake up from your day-dream then you'll be able to read through the important points again."
"you might want to cut out any unnecessary chatter, because you might find that it will hinder you in trying to complete your work for today"
yees.. that was schoool today!! lol`* well the bits i can remember anywae. anyhoo.. i think i'd better go do some work now.. havent been doing much lately.

o yes and i forgot to add..
towards the end of the movie when frodo and sam are walking and talking..
exchanging compliments with each other.. hehehe frodo refers to sam as
"my sam"

was watching lotr: the two towers on dvd the other day.. the dvd was from malaysia
i think.. hence the bad english subtitles. lol`* why were we watching with english subtitles
u wonder? hehe cos my dad's hard of hearing and he turned them on.. but then he left and
we found them sooo amusing we left them on. u'll see why.

correct:
we failed them
subtitles:
we feel them

correct:
we failed them, they could've survived [something to that effect]
subtitles:
we feel them to survive of life

correct:
you're a liar and a thief
subtitles:
you're a liar made of love

correct:
[gimlii says something to the huge leopard-like creature he's fighting]
subtitles:
bring your pussy to my ass
*note: i'm sure he didnt really say that!!

here's some words they spelt wrong:
hobbits ---- > hobbiks , hoberts,
gandalf the grey(gray) ----> gandalf foogray, gandalf foorgay [a typo in a typo!!]
helms deep ----> help's deep
merry ---> marine

and these were only few of the many errors in the subtitles!! lol`*

i'm sure u guys would know about sam and frodo's many "moments" during the movie..
here's some i noticed..
sam:
come on mr frodo, you can do it
frodo:
no sam. i..i cant..i cant put it on

faramir:
and who are you?
frodo:
my name is frodo baggins and this sam wise gangee
faramir:
your bodyguard?
sam:
no. his gardener
[gardener eh?? *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*]

there were also scenes where sam seemed to be jealous of the ring and of gollum..
cos they were stealing his mr. frodo from him.*snicker* i was half expecting gollum and sam
to have a bitch fight.

well that's it.. hahahha hmm.. i didnt know lotr could be soo amusing = ) but it's not to say that i dont
like the movies..i do! i really do! i like aragon the most *grin* but i only like him in the movie.. when he's
covered in all that dirt and stuff. but i dont quite like frodo and sam.. hmm.. as u can tell.. there's just
something about those 2 hobbits that just annoys me.
