    Happy birthday Anabelle!

    -although some months late..


    I only took 5 from my camera and shockingly none of them contained cute doggy faces. But its probably due to the fact that all the other 2000000000 of my wonderful photography is on Monique's camera. She's literally got folders and folders of hundreds of photos of her new puppy =).



    It's New Years Eve! Can't wait to die from heat and sunburn in the first 6hrs of tomorrow, then of exhaustion between 6-8, then exhiliration at 9, and back to tiredness and suffocation at 10-11.30. Then 12AM. Time to make some New Years' revolutions.

    Edelweiss

    SwishhhhhSwashhhh. My head is an empty shell. I don't know what to write about. I thought since i finally managed to sign into Blogger, I should take this opportunity and write something.

    So. How highhh does the Sicamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll neeeever know. And you'll neeever hear the wolf cry to the bluecorn moon or ask the grinning Bobcat why he grinsss.

    I think Human Nature is cool. And Il Divo.

    Lets discuss how indecisive I am. Take me to Easy Way or New Zealand icecream or basically anywhere that presents me with choices, the first thing I do is look at every one of my options 10 times over. Then, I force myself to eliminate at least half of the choices in my head. By this stage usually everyone's already begun ordering and im left standing there stressed and boggled. I start using my fingers to precisely point out what i have narrowed myself down to. Usually this forces me to pick a top 10 since I only have 10 fingers.

    My mind goes through a lot of debate and tries to make a pro/con list of each option. Eventually, after alot of peer pressure, I wouldve come down to a Top 3. Through the elimination process and the help of the pro/con list, I come up with a winner.

    The person at the counter asks 'What would you like?'. This question jolts a certain nerve in my brain which causes me to reconsider my winning choice all over again. I quickly start playing 'inny minny mynny moe' with my top 2 choices.

    I settle for option no.2.

    A handprint amongst the many footprints

    So we live in this city. Its dull as hell and excruciatingly suffocating. There are lamp posts stationed at every few blocks of land, and like clockwork, you know theyll turn themselves on every night, without a sound.


    We don't complain. It's in our nature to hear what is said and see what is there. Why should we notice the silent lamp post when magazines, google, and films are screaming at us, exciting us with volumes and volumes of information. In fact there's so much to take in that we start ordering it online in bulks and storing them in our library. Eventually, we start upgrading our libraries, like a tasty, compulsive race egging us to compete against all the other growing libraries.


    It's life or death.


    We walk down Pitt St. The lights are staring down on us now, daring us to make an unexpected turn into the forgotten streets. But we continue straight forward, looking to the bright lights to guide us to the centre of the city.


    Our lives are like a world globe; prewritten and predictable. But I see a crack on the map. A crack that we could slip through, escaping the expectations and the incessant buzzing of the city.





    We face the future like it knows us when in fact the future should face us like we are something to fear.

    Anything and everything

    This computer is slightly temperamental. I dont get to blog as much as i want to cause it doesnt let me sign into blogger usually...wierd.
    _________________________________

    Im finally getting access to my 'uni fund'. Yesterday I deposited my dad's getting-into-uni cheque and im getting a keycard soon too. How awesome. My mum is quite accepting to the idea of me buying a new computer as a first buy with my bank account. Imagine, a 6th addition to our computer family.

    Laptop or desktop? Ive been using laptops for so long now that it feels wierd to not be able to watch DVDs or youtube whilst in bed. BUT then I kind of have a bad track record when it comes to laptops...I fried my sis' just before HSC cos i spilled water on it...then I took my mum's and once again spilled more water on it.
    _________________________________

    I haven't done much in the last few days. Its been relaxing.
    - Ive played tennis with Dancing Richard, Bernard and Remi
    - Got locked out of my house for 4hrs so I took the chance to walk to Roselands and back, then walked to Beverly Hills and took a train back, and walked half way to Penshurst before turning back in attempt to rescue my sanity.
    - I didn't go to my ballet chrstmas party cause my mum wouldn't drive me so that bummed me out. I sent a txt msg to my teacher but im wondering if she'd changed numbers or something =(
    - I went to our family friend's Taoist christmas party which I only go to catch up with friends. I met this person there too which was made a mockery of because apparently there's an inside joke concerning the person. Now i have to say, I will be on the joke next time =)
    - I don't get to go to my sis' friend's christmas party tonight either cause its at 9pm-3am but my sis is going to sleep over there.
    _________________________________

    It's nearly Christmas. I don't even know what that means. It's a bit of a pointless occassion for me. We once bought a $1 Christmas tree from the post-Christmas sales. We piled that tree with trinklets and other shiny objects that year. That was exhilirating.
    _________________________________

    It seems to me that no one's going to USYD. It's funny, I started high school knowing no one too. But next year I'm not going to make the same mistake. At the beginning of year 7, I was much too eager to impress and to make 'perfect' friends. The ones that did want to be my friend, I rejected because I admit that I was a snob. I tried forcing my way into old primary school groups that made it quite clear that they wanted to keep their group strictly as it was. They treated me like crap and even to this day I remember it as clear as day.

    Connie was my rock during that entire time. Whenever it was too unbearable I would go to her and she would console me. Friend for life, that one. After too many weeks of rejection, I gave in and left the group as they had wanted. That was when I met Monique =). Another friend for life.

    No more grudges now. USYD's a new start. Everything right now is running as perfectly as I could imagine.

    Fish and Chips anyone?

    Last night I couldnt sleep a wink. It couldve been because ive been sleeping at the strangest hours whether at dawn or at sunset.

    Like Tang, I'm not going to ask what marks anyone got and nor do I really need to know. With this, don't bother asking me either. What's important is that I've got my first UAC preference and is now deciding whether i really want to suffer 5yrs of engineering along with Architecture.

    In other news, my hopes of ever owning my own dog has been revived! My sis gave me this crazy idea when she was discussing her plans of turning half our lounge into her new bedroom/lounge. If this plan runs, then i can have my own room and with this I can keep my dog in it whenever my mums at home. Ill install baby gates and all so my dog wouldnt feel isolated.
    HOWEVER, i told my mum of my plans and she told me a big fat 'NO' cause she doesnt trust me...with my track record i wouldnt either...BUT then she said, if you can take care of the house for the next 2yrs then yes.

    So now, New Years' Resolution for 2009 AND 2010 is that I will take care of this house and get that dog! My mum only made this deal cause she doesnt believe I can make it past a few months but lll show her MUAHAHAHA

    This is sad. I think every post ive published has some mention of a dog and if it wasnt written in words then I was probably thinking about it when i was typing.

    WARNING* Incredibly Spiteful Post

    Im terrified.

    For the last how ever many weeks i have completely suppressed all my worries and stress related to our dreaded UAI. Every single time that topic was mentioned i would nonchalently wave it off and laugh about the whole fiasco.

    But then tonight I went through the newly released HSC top 20 subject rankings. It was depressing. I regretted looking through the lists as soon as i'd gotten to F.

    French. I felt so guilty. I felt like we'd failed Ms Matkovich. Maybe it was our self assurance in aceing that subject that caused our downfall. Not a single state rank.

    For the first time in 6yrs, I was ashamed to say i went to Syd G. I became a traitor.

    Now as i write this, Im angry at myself for letting myself betray our school because of my competitiveness. Im still much too shocked at how amazingly well some other schools did. So shocked that im feeling incredibly spiteful.

    This post should be titled "WARNING* Incredibly Spiteful Post"

    Ive decided that tomorrow, im not going to check my marks for the indiv subjects. It'll drive me insane having to wait another 24hrs. If i did, i wouldve had to write another spiteful post which I really dont wish to.

    Congrats Jenny J [if you read this]

    Saturday, December 13, 2008

    I hate technology. I don't understand how all those torrent things and downloading stuff works. I tried all day yesterday and in the end even my sis told me to "just don't bother downloading music, just give up". So I gave up.

    From now on I will be leaching songs off everyone else. And my phone has bluetooth!! You can bluetooth songs right? Amazing what you can do nowadays.
    ____________________________

    Imagine if i had a dog right now. I could be spending these holidays quite happily at home playing with it. My cat on the other hand dissapears for days at a time so I barely get to see him much. My sis' turtle.....it just waddles around pointlessly. Our fish....fascinating....

    My life serves no meaning right now. Everyday is pointless. I sleep at who knows what time [heading towards 4am], I wake up at midday and pull my laptop to the bed where I continue sitting there whilst chatting and surfing aimlessly. I think the last time i had a proper meal was weeks ago, back in Coffs. In fact, the other day, all i remember eating was alot of icecream with chocolate topping, slice of cake, and crepes with a lot of chocolate.

    Twilight

    I have officially been converted. So converted that i have in fact decided to give the books a go.

    I was very skeptical about one fictional character's ability to capture every girl's heart. But I was proven wrong when the cinema erupted into deafening sounds of screams and cries of joy as Edward Cullen took his first steps onto the screen.

    Its mindblowing. I have found a fictional person that by far exeeds my Harry Potter related fetishes. But right now im doubting that this is going to be another one of my fanatical obsessions. It's nice to fantasise but Id rather keep in touch with reality for the time being. Knowing me, my obsessions usually stick around for years so I shant start something that'll probably drive me crazy for another couple of years.

    Im officially too OLD to buy a child ticket

    Thanks heaps everybody. My 18th has got to be my best birthday ever.

    Most of the photos are on my sis' camera and since she told me to stay away from it, all ive got are these. Ill post my sis' ones later.

    Singstar is the devil.

    Dixon+Co have no homes. Clearly from Rose's and Sus' disinterest, it was time for them to find another home at 1am.

    Thanks everyone!!
    And how will i ever be able to use this whiteboard?? I couldn't even bring myself to destroy yr11/12 exams, so as if i could wipe any of this off.

    Im on Virgin now. How wierd. Apparently free calls+text Virgin-to-Virgin. So, WHO'S ON VIRGIN [probably 5% of the population) ?
    No, im still not over it yet =).

    Anyone know when my new phone is supposed to change to my old number? Right now i have to carry both phones with me.


    ALSO, where do i dl songs?? (Don't laugh, but I only know of limewire and i havent used that since beginning of last year.)

    Childhood nostalgia

    I can't believe i'm saying this but i wish this break was shorter. I'm already really bored and we've still got another 3 months to kill. If only we were going overseas, now that would be the ultimate post-hsc celebration. But as usual my mum has turned back on her words. She never keeps her promise, even when we were little she'd bribe us to do things like if we cleaned the car she'd take us somewhere fun. Liesssss.

    ______________________


    I used to be so naive. When i was 8 or so, my mum would pay us 20cents to wash the dishes for a week. Talk about JIPPED! She only upgraded to $20/wk when i was 13 when she realised that no one's ever gonna wash the dishes with her pay rates.

    Nowadays I get a helluva lot more than that for doing nothing. So my mum has dropped the pay rate to nothing and now there's no more incentive to do housechores...except maybe to escape the evil glares from my mum...

    ______________________


    Maybe being naive was a good thing. With being naive there was a freedom. We used to have fun. We held Christmas parties where us kids would play in a jumping castle outside in the backyard whilst the adults danced under the lights inside the house.

    Now everyone's too busy. We've locked ourselves inside a shell, blinded by our own lives. No one has the time to step out of their repetitive schedules and find out what life is really about.

    ______________________


    I don't want to live my life in a box. I want to taste the freedom that i used to feel as a kid. Maybe it's the way mankind is. We all grow to be greedy.

    I wish i could take back my selfishness, my greed.

    I wish for my 20cents/wk.

    Growing up is tough. It's suffocating.

    Wishlist

    So I've been asked to do a wishlist.
    But sorry to say that my list isn't as specific as Tang's.
    The thing is, I don't really want or need anything. The things that I do want can't really be bought.

    So here's my wishlist.
    - Something simple.
    - No need for extravagant things.
    - Perhaps a card I can hang on my wall.
    - Or just your presence will be lovely enough.

    Of course my list is bound to outrage some of my fellow peers so i'll put up an alternative wishlist.

    Alternative wishlist.
    - A whiteboard that i can hang up. (not those massive classroom ones....=)
    - A 2009 diary. Warning. Im extremely picky with diaries so more than likely I won't love it.
    - A pretty cushion.
    - A massive soft toy, one that my mum will go OMG at.
    - A nice and fat book on dogs.
    - Absolutely anything dog related.

    MY ULTIMATE WISHLIST.
    - A PERMISSION FROM MY MUM TO GET A DOG.

    Anyone who can fulful my ultimate wishlist: I will put up a shrine in the centre of my house dedicated to you.

    Roadtrip with peeps

    Hope my friends noticed my absence from Jenny's bday/farewell meet-up but whilst you guys were chucking water bombs, I was on a road trip to middle of nowhere [ie, Berrima] with lots of our family friends.

    We learnt several things on our journey to nowhere.
    .Never trust the GPS. They cant detect bridges and hence will continuously tell you to turn left on to the highway flowing 20metres above our heads. Sorry Navman, we can't fly.
    .Nor can the GPS detect barbed wires. Several times we were lead to bushland where it was the perfect setting for a horror/homicide movie.

    The GPS wanted us to drive through this.

    To avoid our car getting stuck, troops [Lorraine + Yan] were instead sent out to explore the wilderness.
    Eventually we got to Zen Oasis and ate our buffet. I was too busy savouring the fact that we got to our destination to take photos.

    Cool Lolly Shop.
    This 10yr old had more cash than I did [since im broke]. She bought her own icecream as well as lollies for her friends.My friend, Mr creepy swagman. On our trip back to Civilisation.
    Here is 1/9 videos i took in the car. Obviously my camera had loads of memory or we were just bored from the long ride.
    Count the cows.

    Wow my voice sounds shockingly bad. If i could be bothered, id be hacking the audio on Soundforge and warping my voice into soothing sounds of Beethoven.


    These cows beat Coffs anyday *cough*

    Nic + MeEvidence of all the trash we keep in our car....

    =)

    Friday, November 28, 2008

    Quick, she's coming back. Spread your legs!!

    Aw you guys make me feel bad since this is most probably going to be another pathetic post. I would do a Coffs post too if I could remember any of it but i have a pretty shocking memory. So this is basically all i rememeber:

    .The huge amounts of sunscreen I scabbed off from others on a daily basis.

    .My aweful sunburn on day 2.

    .The awesome job the cooks did for 4days and Danella on days 4, 5, and 6.

    .UNDEAD. Enough said.

    .Im sick of sunrises.

    .Dont feed Monique alcohol =D.

    .Terry Lee's son LOL. Yes, he's worth mentioning.....

    .The mysterious dissapearance of the tennis balls.

    .Karen's shameless luvos.

    .and lastly. The buffet that took 3days to digest.


    and oh yes, HAPPY 18th TANG

    Bowling fever

    I realised that our gathering at JTs house didnt get us very far in terms of organising for Coffs. In those 4hrs we figured out our roles [ie, that me and monique are janitors but thats cool since we did come late], and that i get to sleep on the couch. You never know, I might fall in love with the couch and whoever wants to sit there will have to get past me first! I dont think we even got past day 2..
    _________________________________

    News. ill post up the photos of the 3 fish that Haeran, me, Monique, and Jenny D managed to catch from jenny's super-fertile tank. Congrats to Haeran though, she was the one who caught them. When i got home there were 3 goldfish in the takeaway container right....and then when i checked on them before i went to bed...there were 4 new fish. They were super tiny, like tadpoles. But in the morning, there was only 1 tiny fish left..im speculating that the 3 bigger goldfish ate them or something....=S
    _________________________________

    I found my love for bowling. Wierd i know. My sisters and I went bowling with my sis' bf and his friends at Mascot till 1am. Yes. Crazy i know but bowling at 1am is actually extremely fun. We took 2 lanes, boys vs girls. We were really bad at it...I mean, i kept on getting the highest overall score in our team so thats got to say something. For a game, i betrayed my team and switched places with my sis' bf and for that moment, i got to experience the guys' world [right....].
    __________________________________

    ..i hope those 3+1 goldfish dont mind living in a takeaway container until i can get them a mini tank. I dont think theyll enjoy living in our fishtank with goldfish that are 10x their size.

    Life, money, sex

    Today was one odd day. Ill start the story from yesterday when this lady kept calling me to organise something for next week and I wasnt that keen anymore on doing it. So, everytime she rang afterwards, I kind of ignored my phone.

    This morning, according to my sister I was talking on my mobile when i was in bed. The problem is that I have no memory of being on the phone whatsoever. Now, Im quite worried that perhaps it was that lady. Im also worried about my mental wellbeing. This actually happens to me quite often, as in talking without realising and turning off alarm clocks subconsciously.

    Did anyone call me this morning? Someone pleaseee say yes. I hope i didnt do anything stupid.
    ___________________

    I had a nice little day with Leanne today. She's has a pretty cool bob now and was wearing some grey contacts too.

    Whilst waiting at the bus stop, a man decided to give me some life advice. I wasnt sure what to think of it. He told me about the importance of putting yourself first before others, the need to be assertive in society, the male species and their inability to ignore their biological need to reproduce, and the importance of knowing what you want in life.

    Funny thing is that i did believe in everything the bus stop man said. He seemed like he had been through a lot of hardships and is still battling through. I wish him and his daughter well.

    Formal jazz

    I lied, this post has nothing to do with the formal, it was just a means of gaining some attention. Im not finding the formal that big of a deal so personally, Im quite amused with the amount of effort some people are going through. But then, Im probably one of those people who are going to be hitting themselves later when im trying to organise everything in the last minute.
    __________________________

    I feel so dissapointed with myself cos I didnt even know that some of my friends were going to be leaving for a very long time. I only found out about Colleen leaving for Melbourne a couple weeks ago, and Jenny's year in China on the other day!! Sometimes i wish that i was more attentative to what was happening around me. I mean, you could probably lead me through streets after streets to nowhere before I would even notice that Ive no idea where I am. I space out way too much i think.
    __________________________

    On another note, ive added Danella's new blog to my links =) To the rest of the m7-ers, its time to join the revolution.

    Btw, due to the fact that im way too lazy to upload photos to make all this easier to read, ive just shoved in lines to separate it.
    __________________________
    I decided to celebrate my turning 18 by buying myself a lottery ticket on the day. Yes, pathetic i know, but its a better idea than the lady at the newsagency telling me to smoke and that if i didnt smoke, to buy a packet of cigarettes for someone who did.

    Eventful-ish day

    .Thanks so much for the ride to school, it saved me from having to make multiple trips to school and from carrying tonnes of books.


    I agree with Betty, how scary are juniors nowadays! WHY DO YOU NEED TO BUY HSC MATHS PAST PAPERS WHEN YOU'RE IN YR7,8?? I didn't even touch them until the 2wks before hsc. Im making it my cause to save our school from nerd overload by standing up against this travesdy and REFUSING to sell my books to anyone below yr10.

    Im glad I got rid of basically all my books and got my clearance form signed (except the lame fees and my locker key.....). I really hope my locker key is somewhere in my house. I dont want to pay $$ to get the lock replaced.

    Tagging along with JT and Moey to Bondi was fun. What do you know, we were the contacts-trio! And much to Emily's dissapointment, I gave in and got a pair of Cheap Monday skinnies.

    On another note, congrats Emily! Now you can shout us unemployed ppl lunch! =D

    See my awesomeness

    I am done. It's finally over. After years of studying pointless things. I no longer have to care about polymerisation or esterification or imaginative journeys or theorists or conics or probability. But le francais shall live on forever.

    I have completed 17 hours of exams, written 126 students numbers and 126 centre numbers, have totalled appx 150hrs at State library, and spent $250 on lunch.

    Now I am a bum. My brain is well in the process of rotting. Maybe i'll engage in some sudoku during my months' break.

    Ive already done some window shopping with sus today after my chem exam. We had some lunch and visited lots of shoe stores. Im thinking of chunky black heels now.

    Confession one

    In term 4, our first term of yr 12, every thursday night was like a hectic race. I was always cramming in the last minute to do my 5hrs worth of Dr Du homework as well as write my french writing pieces. Once, I was so stressed out that I just wrote my entire french writing in english and translated it on Babelfish.altavista.com.

    Ms Matkovich gave me a 13/15. Good Job Babelfish.

    Is it over yet?

    I checked out the Mitchell Wing in State today and its pretty awesome. I wish id found it earlier cos its like The Library in one of the Dr Who episodes except a smaller version. Im sure you guys all know what im talking about.

    On another note, Goodbye David Tennant!!! I will be rewatching him through the christmas holidays (can I emily? Maybe ill come hoboing at ur place again).

    Aujourd'hui j'essaie a ecrire en francais et il etait mal. Peut-etre parce que j'ai rambled on pour trois pages autour des circles.
    *I dont have a dictionary next to me and no, Im too lazy to even use babelfish.altavista).

    Fascination for the limitless possibilities

    Looking for a job. I'm not too picky. Just not anything fastfood related.

    I've been thinking up names for my future dog (in my dreams anyway). If it's black it'll be called Chocolate Sundae and if it's white it'll be Vanilla. I'm not that into Vanilla though so that might change... Someone think me up more possible names. My sis laughed at me when i told her.

    I have a feeling that my holiday's going to be really boring. I mean after Coffs there's going to be nothing to do.

    Things to do:
    - Take family to Lindts cafe, and Norita AFTER i-->next point
    - GET A JOB
    - Stay over at friends' places =D
    - BEACH
    - Go to the semi-annual gathering at Sizzlers with family friends
    - Check out what UAI uac or whatever decides to give me
    - Get into engineering/archi at usyd
    - Swimming
    - Go Goldcoast or Melbourne depending what family wants
    - Clean my room <--thats a must
    - Clear the dining table of my HSC mess <--another must
    - Make 'Sell' and 'Burn' piles of my stuff
    - Give my kittykat a much needed pampering session
    - Beg and beg and beg my mum for a dog or at least find out if i'll be 30 before i can get one.
    - Buy a goldfish to add to our fishtank and name it Goldie
    - Learn more songs on guitar
    - Rearrange all the furniture in my room. ie, redecorate.
    - Dye my hair purple for a week. (those temporary ones)
    - Somehow find a quidditch set. Or a broomstick. Or a Slytherin cloak. Or a model of Hogwarts.
    - Buy 5th Harry Potter DVD and finish my collection.
    - Have a Harry Potter marathon
    - Everyone can come to my place and we can have a slumber party! (random spontaneous thought)

    .thats it for now.

    "All you do is eat and play. Don't you have exams?"

    -My mum just said that to me. I lolled.

    Come on ppl, blog more. My life is pretty sad, half my time online is spent flicking through your blogs and hoping that there would be a miraculous update inbetween the flicking. Other than that, its facebook.....And if not facebook then im googling random things like agnosticism and conjunctivitis...

    On another point, I must remind myself to set my alarm clocks to ring half an hour inbetween one another. This morning i had the biggest heart attack of my life. I planned to wake up at 6am but I half slept through the alarms and woke up 2hrs and 20min later. Thats right, 8.20AM. The 3U HSC EXAM was supposed to be starting at 9.25AM! I'd never swore so much in my life. I shoved my uniform on and was out the door in 5minutes. I made it and got a good lesson out of it.

    I love my Arnott's Vita-weat crispbread, so don't groan about them suz. They're really addictive. Today at State, as Moey and Jenny would know, i went out to the lockers twice just to shove more into my mouth. I remember on tuesday, i left them at home and whilst craving for them during my 'study', i found out that they weren't in my bag. Biggest dissapointment ever.

    Lame Nietzche and Barthe. I don't really care about them. Hence, my english extension prep for tomorrow is non-existent at the moment.

    Another daily post

    Lets never speak of the infamous 3hr exam this morning and jump straight into 12.30pm where me, Colleen, Moey, and Tanya went off to lunch at this little dumpling place by Chinatown. It was really nice despite the hot, stuffy weather.

    I just have to make a point that I always eat as much as I want to, no matter WHO i'm in company with! You guys are shameless. But of course, no one's going to take my word for it so i'm just going to stick my tongue out at you guys xP

    We stopped by Colleen's place so that she could grab her stuff before we headed off to State. I was tired as demonstrated by my 10min breaks of sleep every 30min. But I made a deal with myself to finish one paper before i would let myself go home. Finally, we packed and left at 6.30.

    I can't believe that my house is as hot as outside. It was shocking when I came home. I expected the usual cool haven but instead was welcomed to a heat wave. Gross.

    Oh, and i found out that both my old ballet friends, Sophie and Jess, did their Intermediate exam just last week! Now i'm going to feel highly incompetent when I go back to classes next year but hopefully I'll be rejoining with my fellow hsc-is-too-hectic ballet drop-out friend. =)
    I was doing some random footwork oneday and my mum was like 'oh, you still remember how to dance?'.......Firstly, i wasn't dancing. Secondly, it's hard to forget something that you've done for 8years. It's not like I'm writing chinese, cos that i can honestly say I have forgotten most of eventhough i did it throughout my whole childhood.

    The persistance of Memory

    So I was looking up on the 3D Max program and I came across a French artist, Florian Delarque, who incorporates 3D rendering and photoshopping to create amazing works like this one.

    'The Skull The violin player' 2004
    It took me a little time to reflect on the purpose of his work which he said '..With Skull, I wanted to create a sweet character. Skull plays violin and he loves it...and he loves to share his passion for music with other..'
    In my opinion, your first impression of a work is alway what counts the most. So when I read this I thought, oh no, has Florian failed as an artist to communicate his objective for this piece? But then I closed my eyes and saw the artwork again. This time, my perspective changed entirely. I saw a whimsicle creature, behind the darkness there was a facial expressiveness that was intense but gentle. Very contradictory but very intriguing work nonetheless.

    Maybe I'll teach myself how to use 3D max in the holidays. Imagine all the possiblities or the IMpossibilities, if you get me =D

    Some more 3D Max


    I Love this one. You guys can probably tell that I think without doubt that surrealists like Salvador Dali and Post Modernists like Frank Gehry should rule the world. (Im VERY aware that Dali is long gone from our world..=( )


    Now, it might or might not be a shock to you to know that Salvador Dali is my favourite artist. Usually 'favourite' would not be the appropriate word to use since it seems so biased but its 1.25am, and I can't think of a better word to use.

    'The Persistence of Memory" 1931

    Impressively appropriate title for this painting. I have to use this word again, but the artwork you see below this, is by far my most favourite work there is out there. Well, at least until I find another one although this one is hard to beat since i've been taken by 'The Persistance of Memory' since i first came across it in yr9.

    My finger friend. tap tap tap

    An update on Pip. I think he's grown. I THINK.
    But he's definately lost some of the greeness
    I shall take a photo in a weeks time or so and you guys can be the judge.

    I feel lost. Lost in my world. My world of possiblities, that being the endless imaginary scenarios that pop up in my head. It's why i need a job. Hopefully a job will give me a good kick into reality.

    And i think my titles are beginning to really lack creativity too.
    I think this post is lacking in everything anyway so oh well.

    English OVER for the rest of my life! I'm not going to bother counting extension since I dont plan on even looking at that till the night before, after 3u maths.

    After the dreaded paper 2 exam today, since you guys all decided to skip going out to lunch, I had to go out to pitt st mall by myself to grab something to eat. Usually eating by yourself in a foodcourt is fairly normal but somehow when you're sitting a table behind a dozen other yr12 girls wearing the same uniform as you, it seems a tad sad.

    I had a little retail therapy but I gave myself a time limit of one hour before hopping to State [I didnt actually hop...I wasn't that excited]. I managed to do a 4u past paper in 5hrs, keeping in mind that it's a 3hr paper and i didnt even attempt questions 7 and 8.

    I left considerably early at 6 cos I was getting bored. At the station I bumped into my fellow ballet friend, Cherie! I hadn't seen her since beginning of the year in term 1 and it feels like she's all grown up now, going to uni and working heaps. It was pretty awesome being able to catch up. Turns out that Sophie [yr10 sghs girl in fact] did her Intermediate exam! Wooh! Reminder: Bug her on msn about it.

    PS. I can play most of Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven on guitar now. I relearnt it yesterday instead of studying

    Unprepared, unmemoried, the power of UN.

    Day before English Paper 2 exam and I'm sitting at my sister's computer blogging. This is how I am going to ace my HSC.

    If I plan to sleep at 10, taking an hour off for a good shower and eating, I calculated that I have 6 hours to memorise my history+memory and Ros+Guil/Hamlet essay, and figure out what on earth I'm going to write for SKIN.

    To think a year ago I thought at this time now I would be super prepared and wouldve had done at leat 10 practices. But the reality is that I like the adrenaline rush of knowing that I am running out of time and all I can do is cram. The number of practices I've done to prepare for tomorrow? (answer: 0)

    Woo0p Hsc is AWESOME

    Yesterday I skipped going on my planned trip to uts library and ditched Bernard cos it was raining and looking too gloomy. Instead, i stayed at home and bludged all day.

    Today I forced myself out of bed by threatening myself with messages of abuse and got to State at 10.30. I ate crepes at centrepoint foodcourt with Bernard and Richard. I think today i was slightly productive...just slightly cos i got one practice journey essay done..in 1.5hrs..and learnt most binomials (yes, i'm still extremely behind). Bernard tried to teach me those harder proofing binomial questions. It ended with a very public debate between him and Richard concerning their different methods to solving the question which moved onto a competition of who got better in which exam and who's got a better overal ranking etcetc. They made peace eventually but they were both so stubborn. It was hilarious.

    We left at 6.30 and Richard ditched our dinner plans and went home. Me and Bernard ended up walking up and down and around townhall to find a cheap place to eat. Finally, after alot of deliberation we went to a Korean BBQ restaurant opposite Fujiya. It was pretty fun but i've officially nearly spent $100 on food in 2days. LOL.

    I got home at 9.40 and happily got picked up. Tomorrow i'm leaving at 5 and having a good night sleep before my SECOND HSC EXAM! (my french speaking in August counted as first)

    Ah darn Ben, he just suggested beaching after hsc and now my minds distracted by the imaginary sounds of waves..

    Dream/Nightmare

    omg i forgot to mention why i woke up late this morning. An hour before I got out of bed, I had a terribly scary dream, aka nightmare.

    What happened was that I was opening the front door to my house and right there was a man standing with an axe in his hand. There was struggle and I managed to slam the door close. Afterwards, basically my sisters and I were running through out backyard trying to escape from the various men lurking around our house. In the end (yes, there was an ending to this dream), somehow they all got killed/knocked out and we were left exhausted in our neighbour's front yard.

    After this dream, I missed my train cos I spent a good 20min being scared of opening my front door. I ended up checking through my windows and saw my nextdoor neighbour in her yard so i thought to myself, if there was a strange man holding an axe standing in front of my door, she wouldve noticed (but then, my sis brought up the point that she couldve been being threatened and blackmailed). Anyway, I got over it after I managed to get out of my house.
    HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY EMILY!

    *3 Cheers for the coolest girl around***

    Emily: Hope you enjoyed all your early birthday wishes. They're only warm ups to the real thing.

    Another day

    Went to State again today but woke up a little late at 9.30am. I spent the day with JT, Moey, Colleen, Bernard, and me. I managed to finish my journey essay from night before in the morning before going to lunch at Dymock's Cafe. We spent 2hrs eating lunch and trekking around the city before going back to the library. From that point onwards, i did nothing. I pretty much spent the rest of 4hours talking, going out to buy a drink and chocolate, playing with Bernard's phone, talking to Jenny, trying to do Moey's 3u question, and talking to a girl that I used to go tutoring with.

    JT left at 5 and so at 6.30 we decided to leave too since we were being extremely unproductive (at least I was). Bernard suggested dinner so we decided on Fujiya. Quite good food and fairly cheap too! What a bargain! Bernard and I had the unfortunate position of the window where throughout the meal, our eyes burned from the sight of a shirtless chubby man hanging around his hotel window whilst having a suspicious phonecall and scratching himself...

    Got home at 9 and i found out why my mum doesn't have problems with me coming home late from the library. Last time she came with me to the library, she saw me working with friends and today she told my sis that I've been studying really hard cos she offered me food that day and i chose study over food. Also, she said that I wasnt talking to friends and was really focussed on my work. I guess she chose to watch me at a time when I was actually working.

    Anyway, because of today's unproductive day at State, i've realised that i've gone there so much that it's becoming uneffective study place so I'm trying out uts library tomorrow after all the rave reviews i've heard.

    Billy Elliot Musical


    There's only 3 more shows on after my last HSC exam, that being chemistry. Last show is on 9th Nov at Capitol theatre. Now I really want to go. Like really. Tickets are around $100-120. What to do, what to do?


    substance-less

    BOS is rigged. I know this because I put in mediocre marks into the uai calculator and they gave me a fairly decent uai. Obviously there's a conspiracy going on behind it all. Secret plans are underway to give us procrastinating hsc students false hope and drop our guard. Then they'll attack on the 23rd of December with a big WAPHOOM on our defenseless souls.

    Today I spent an hour writing half a journey essay and then I got bored of Coleridge.

    Yesterday I took a break from hsc and spent the day helping my oldest sis out with her final grad project. We both have 3weeks of torture left before we're FREE!

    From nothing -->To lots of windows - surprisingly took nearly 2.5hrs

    We had to get a few things from Bunnings. A few being the size of our car so we had to crouch down through the whole trip back home cos we had to have them sitting inside being held up by our seats.

    And meet Pip, the new addition to my life.

    So, 5days till we can all forget about journeys and 'pleasure dome decrees' for the rest of our lives. How exciting.

    This is why i shouldn't be allowed on the internet. I have no self control and procrastination, we've got a love/hate relationship.

    -blogged for a total of 30 minutes

    Thursday, October 9, 2008

    If you were an 18yr old, which one of us would get a higher UAI?

    -Colleen asked Mr Michael this question in an email. I thought it was funny.

    Nothing too epic happened at State today nor yesterday. In fact, it was so low key that I was starting to wonder where all the SGH nerds were (yes, for this post i'll label myself a nerd). Perhaps they all decided to study at their local library instead where there werent so many random hsc kids hanging around. Like today for example, Moey was telling us about how, I think it was Jenny, was sitting with two asian gangsters on either side of her and this random chatty girl was obviously eavesdropping and asked, 'What? Your friend is sitting with two asian gangsters?' But thinking about it, Hurstville library is much worse since its filled with chatty hsc fob kids.

    My mum came to State with me today. Thats right, she forced me. This morning I told her one hour in advance that we're leaving the house at 9.30. Well, she didnt get out of bed till 9.10 and we ended up having to catch the next train. I was feeling very frustrated. When we got to State, I took her to the lockers and then shocked, she asked, 'What? We're going in now? I thought you were taking me to eat!' I sighed. I'd tried to feed her my Vitawheat crackers on the train but she'd refused it, so not my fault. I went off on my own at 11.

    I think Im a really slow worker. Anyway, went out for lunch with JT, Jenny, and kinda with olivia and her boy gang. Got back to the library and after some hours we went to Lindts and i got a small dark hot chocolate and it was yum. . .I will definately be going there again. We sat outside the library for a little bit and it got me feeling too relaxed to want to go back to study but we had to eventually.

    For about 20min I lost my phone so I had to search the library but it turned up at the security table which was good.

    Going to State everyday has potentially stopped my UAI from dropping to nothing but my wallet is crying from the daily train fares, lunches, and food binge trips.

    Ate a quick dinner at centrepoint westfield, I dropped dead from exhaustion on the train and got home at 10.

    Til tomorrow, lets stay sane.

    Study break...yeh right

    I say there's nothing wrong with a little blogging on my time off from study (eventhough it seems to be my time off every hour of my day).

    So I can honestly say that my uai is quite possibly plummeting a lot. I am feeling very unstudious and distracted. Basically, i just can't study at home so im going to be off to State quite a bit now. But do you know whats really frustrating? My mother is constantly bugging me about following me to State and various libraries because she's got some masters thesis to do. What I tell her is 'sure, you can come if you want', but in my head im saying 'no no no no no no no no'. I dont need her stalking me however much she pretends she wont.

    Last week, I spent a very productive 4-5 hrs studying in the library cos all I had to distract myself with was me, myself, Jono (who was very undistracting), and misarranged books (which bugged me for a while). Then in came his friends and that was it for me, it was becoming too much fun for me to return to my studies.

    But today turned out very differently to last week. Firstly i bumped into Monique at State entrance and she got me on a high for the next hr before going off to lunch with [**insert warning here** lots of names to come**] Monique, Aleks, Jono, Isaac, Lawrence, Sam, Ben, Patrick(first time ive met him/heard of him, so I couldve gotten the name tragically wrong)..other grammar boy/s including the blond guy..spotted 2 girls i havent met..and Ben's sis, Rachael (actually..i dont recall seeing her at lunch). Sorry, Im just trying to test my shocking short term memory.
    Anyway, we took a long time painfully trudging back to State for another long 'study' session. I spent first 3hrs doing basically 1/10 of a 4u past paper. I did one random french R+R (basically the only thing i completed today). At 5.30 (why do you ppl have such early curfews?), Aleks walked monique to train station so i was left with myself for about 30min in which during that time, i got poked in the face by i think, sam's finger, but im yet to find out, learnt about prank love-confession phonecalls, the displeasure of the 3rd party on the receiving end of the prank phonecall, and the joys of not studying.
    Aleks came back and we worked on a total of 4 terry lee circular motion questions whilst listening to trance till 8. I got home at 9.10 and made myself corn for dinner.

    I remember in yr2 or so, we had to spend time in class learning how to write recounts. My recount above is a brilliant example of what I learnt in primary school - rubbish and grammatical errors.

    Ciao, til tomorrow (could be more or less eventful than today so im awaiting with anticipation)

    Elation.shock.tears..that is graduation

    This morning's graduation assembly is one that i will never forget. The usual speeches that we slept through during our junior years were suddenly something that were worth listening word by word to. Those yr7's were absolutely adorable and hilarious. It was sad to see the retiring teachers and heartbreaking when Ms morrison started crying on stage.

    But, what happened next shocked me so much that the tears came pouring and my hands turned numb. The retirement of our principal Dr Varady and the beloved/terrifying Ms Young. The rumours about it last year were taken as mere jokes but now, it's reality. I'm so thankful that i got to be part of this major change that is sure to go into the books as one of the historical moments of sydney girls high school in 2008.

    Personally, i'm scared for our school. What is going to happen after the most important people who makes our school so spectacular and efficient leaves?

    Anyway, after graduation there was the luncheon. It was lots of fun seeing those videos and hilarious when i saw my face appear on the big screen jabbering about something no one understood.

    For those who dont have facebook, here are a few memories of today


    I'll upload more when my sister isnt glaring at me for being on her computer.


    Edit: This photo is from sus's blog. I thought it was a perfect capture of the epic battle of Jenga and the high stakes that we were playing for. It beats the scariness of the HSC hands down. So ill repost the pic here too eventhough it has nothing to do with yesterdays graduation.

    Da-da-da-dance dance dance

    I've posted all the fotos on facebook. Even the highly inciminating ones. Dw folks, ill get some of them on this blog one day.
    In the mean time, Vanity is Fair. Lovely post by Jenny. Says it all really.

    It's been a long ride

    So much is happening for the rest of this week and next week. Muck up assembly, muck up photos, the breakfast thing, farwell assembly, and luncheon.

    So I am youtubing the songs for muck up assembly on friday and if i had successfully held back tears during our practice in the common room today, i am failing miserably now. The 'Fix You' lyrics is like a shot to my heart.

    When you try your best, but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want, but not what you need
    When you feel so tired, but can't sleep
    It's HSC

    Now the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you know you won't share another day
    Could it be worse?

    High will guide us home,
    And ignite our bones,
    Sydney High, We'll miss you

    High for life, since long ago
    it's just too hard to let it go
    It's meant more than you'll ever know
    Just what we're worth

    High will guide us home
    And ignite our bones
    Sydney High, we'll miss you


    Where did all the time go? I don't have any regrets because I've loved every moment of being at sydney girls, through all the highs and lows, it's been a blast.
    Ah sorry for getting all sappy. I'm a miserable girl haha and to think we've still got another week to go!

    School's out in 9days!

    I'm feeling veryy agitated at the moment, so agitated that i must blog it off or else i might shoot someone. Gosh why are some people so unreadable that it irritates the hell out of you. Stop mocking my mind because theres only so much that i can handle before it explodes.

    [writing 20min later]

    Much better now. Less agitated, pulses returning to normal. Ive decided that I don't care if I can't read some people because I'm going to return the favour and put a wall up too.

    [writing about something unrelated to my anger issues]

    I got my haircut today. It's basically the same style as before except shorter because it was getting too long and unruly. This is the first time EVER that i've gotten my hair cut at a hairdresser's with my mum. The service you get when you're with an older/more mature person is amazing. It's all discrimination, I say. I swear they treat you with so much more respect and they charge you less for the cut too!
    The worst hairdressing place i've ever been to was this cheap place in hurstville, the one in the corner outside near sushi train. I'm going to defame that place with this because they've got a really bad attitude towards young people like myself. I went there on a total of 3 times, each time thinking that I was just unlucky the previous time, but how wrong i was.
    There's 3 hairdressing places in Hurstville that i like very much, the one in the shopping centre called 'Stylz' i think, one just outside westfield next to the place that fixes computers, and the one opposite 'foon lok'..pronunciation wise..
    Okay, i gave very vague descriptions and directions..


    x
    I'm going to miss highschool and everyone!

    Edit: [writing 5min later]
    I'm back to feeling very agitated. I'm a yoyo-ing bag of feelings = bipolar. Okay, i'm just going to try to pretend to not care and get on with my life.

    [writing 5min later]

    All better now, talking to my friends about random things makes me laugh and forget about my psychotic issues.

    I think this just proves how unstable my mind is and my urgent need of some psychoanalysis.

    SUMMERise me

    Today's weather rocked. Cant wait for the first warm night where i can just wear shorts and a tshirt without a goddam heater burning my skin. Thats me at the moment, contributing to global warming instead of wearing a jacket and my mum's loving the electricity bill too haha.

    So apparently tomorrows the moon festival thing (according to Jenny's blog post [edit: it was betty's actually..]). My mum bought 2 boxes of moon cakes a little while ago and ive eaten my share of them since two weeks ago...I'm a pig and everyone knows it. In 10yrs time when we're having a school reunion, no one's going to recognise me. Look for the fattest person in the room and voila, thats me.

    I was thinking of going on a junk food ban right (as i do on a weekly basis), and then my sister pulls out a tub of Weis Cream and Passionfruit icecream. So basically, it's not my fault that my ban never lasts for more than a day.

    On an entirely much more depressing subject, HSC starts (according to Monique) in 32DAYS!! And i'm wondering if thats even enough time for me to catch up on all my 3u maths hw that i've missed this year.

    Btw, BE(civil)/BDesArch at USYD. So who thinks i'm crazy? Because i certainly do haha

    Betty's bday dedication

    Happy 18th Birthday Betty!See, i took a foto of u holding up food for a reason Betty!

    So just an update on those shoes that made me look like i was 'strutting' and 'running away' yesterday.
    This was AFTER id scrubbed it down with napisan and some random bleach. The lighting doesnt do the dirt colour any justice
    and what it used to beoh well, i've worn them heaps already so im due to get some new shoes anyway =)

    oh my lord, today i realised that ive so much to do in terms of filling in forms and applications and etcetc.etc. Why cant someone just do it for me??

    soggy jeans, shrunken shoes, uni, + Rose's bday bash

    Twas wet and cold, and we battled through torrential wind. But apart from my severely shrunken canvas shoes that led me to trudge through the streets on my toes [quite literally..] for several hours, i had a blast today.

    HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY ROSE!
    Lunch was great, hanging around the law building + round house in unsw for hours was painfully entertaining, and the pigging out on junk food and cake at Rose's place released our inner happy fat-ladies.

    Rain rain rain rain. Rains sucks =P



    Monique - dont forget me when ur an UN ambassador representing Australia Abstract art maybe?

    Jenny, ur small and all but LOL

    Maybe next time i'll be a bit more selective on my posting photos =D Took me just about an hr. Do u guys feel my dedication?
