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....

=)

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

Coffs Photos

Photobucket Album

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.

Fall in love .with dance.

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.

Btw, is anyone planning to go back to school anytime soon? Im feeling rather lazy and need some motivation to get all my stuff done.

and .Happy Birthday.

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).
