[Weekend!]

First week of school over already. So faaast. At school, we keep going on about how the year is going to end so quickly and then Yr12 is gonna 'flash by' and before we know it, the 3-5 years of Uni will be over and then real world here we come.
*sigh* Time passes by so quickly these days. We should all make the best of each day~ Grasp your opportunities when you can and never let them go. Strive towards what you want to achieve and make the most of your chances. Don't let them pass by you. Jump in at every opportunity. Otherwise, you'll never be able to do what you want to do. If only I were able to do that >____>;
QLD Opens this Sunday. Crazy badminton in one weekend. Kinda glad that all the D grade events are just on the one day. I don't think I can afford to use up more time for badminton. I mean like ... yes playing it is good but on the other hand, on the back of your mind you're thinking wooork or assignments and then streeeeeesss, lol. But yeah, 10 games this Sunday. Will I live on Monday morning? I think I shall be fine. I coped pretty well last time. Just my upper thighs hurt quite a bit. Yeah~ DLS games are pretty funny, basically just vsing friends, lol. So it'll probs be fun/competitive game. Not serious/competitive game. DLD are pretty good. DXD I have no idea ... have to find out who partner is this Sunday, don't actually know the person is XD mmm ... yeah it'll be another fun weekend of badminton and being with friends and just having a fun time. I can't wait ^^
Piano exam is OVER! *rejoice* So happy. It went better than I thought it would've been. My general knowledge went pretty well. Hardcore last minute studying the night before. Scales, alright. Slipped at times. Pieces, pretty good, better than I expected I would play them. Cuz I was all nervous and everything. Stuffed up minor parts but that was ok. Examiner seemed pretty nice. I hope she's nice with the marking! XD and not too picky >< But yeah, now Gr EIGHT! Crazy songs! They're all so long, but they sound so nice so it'll be fun learning them. My fingers are too short to play the super nice and complicated songs. I was like T______T daaamn. *sigh* Such a disadvantage in starting piano so late. Finger haven't been well developed enough for proper piano playing. Oh wellz~ I can't do anything about it now. Unless there's a method for extending fingers. If there is I don't wanna know about it ... I was just saying. Ugh ... yuck I can't imagine that happening XD
Ok ... I really should work. Good luck to everyone for schoolwork and everything! Especially all the assessment we're getting now, and they're all handed in so soon! *runs off to work*

[SK3WL!]

*drools* Looking at the pictures of wagashi on Killua's space right now. Yummy sweeeeeetness *drools* ANYWAY.
BACK. AT. SCHOOOOOL. I still need to adjust >_>; First thing are my EARS. I have never been more thankful for the quiteness of the household. But at school ... no comment. I haven't listened to loud rackets in the locker room for 3 weeks. And then when I take my first step back into the locker rooms it's like WHOA ... however many girls trying to speak over each other at the same time/screaming/squealing/yelling = CHAOS. OMG -_____- Diana and I were like, "Our poor ears T___T" XD hmm ... other than that interesting morning experience, the rest of the day was pretty good. Double Jap ... ooo I haven't mentioned the Jap exchange students yet! The one that Alice is taking care of is sooooo kawaii~~ Soooo nice and adorable and cute but kinda quiet XD The one that KT is taking care of seems more of the outgoing type. Laughs/smiles heaps and speaks more. hehe ... but yeah~ coolness! Jap exchange students in our school for 6 weeks. w00t!~
STRESS. Piano exam in 4 days. Additionally, today I confirmed all the assessment in week 3 for me this term: English Oral, Accounting summative theory exam, BCT Petty cash exam, IPT assignment/test/whatever. *diiiez* Save meee. I reaaaally need to have good time management this term. Like seriously. *cough*

Last night of holidays! Back to school tomorrow. Kinda excited kinda not. It's good that I'll get to see friends again and fall back into a regular routine. But yeah ... school = work. *shrugs* I'll be fine. I know that I need to do better this term. Less procrastination, more studying!
I AM STARTING TO STRESS ALREADY! Actually I already am stressing ... PIANO EXAM THIS FRIDAY. I've had waaay over a year. I'm still not ready. I'm sooooo bad >< *diez* STRESSSSSSSS
QLD Open this Sunday. Last weekend event for the term then seriousness full on.
I've been doing a self-analysis, kinda o_o; And you're all probably thinking I'm weird. But yeah, I just wanna comment abt myself =P I've changed ... heaps. For the good or the worse I dunno but I've changed. I can even tell myself. So weird. Heaps more to comment on but I just wanna make that statement >_>;; haha ^^''' But maybe it's just what I think ... yeah? What do you guys think? Ish Sally going weird? XD
Another new layout soon. I'm so picky =P

[Holidays: Day 15]

OH MAN! I HAD THE UPDATE GOING BUT GUESS WHAT?! THE PAGE REFRESHED. GAAAH NOW I HAVE TO RETYPE EVERYTHING AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE ME FOREVER *diez*

So yeah, wasn't up to finishing my update yesterday so I just stopped after updating about my weekend. But now I will finish updating about my camp experience cuz some of you really wanna know abt it. So I'll reupdate now! And HOPEFULLY IT THE PAGE SHOULDN"T REFRESH AGAIN OTHERWISE I SWEAR I"LL GO CRAZY! I typed so much before T___T. Ok~ crazy entry coming up then. Happy reading people. I've already warned you! Congrats if you get to the end XD.

EMP MYF Camp "Connect '06'
Camp Tuesday:
Woke up at around 7, which was around 2 or 3hrs earlier than usual XD Double checked that I'd packed everything I needed then headed off for church. Got there at around 8.20 to which I found that Vonz and Heidi weren't there yet. So I proceeded to stand around by myself watching everyone get all excited and high about the camp. All the squeals from the girls and hugs etc. The guys were all doing their thing and kicking a soccer ball around, lol. Then Vonz and Heidi finally arrived and intro-ed me around. Whilst talking I found some primary school friends, mentally thinking to myself that I finally found someone that I knew and wasn't high XD After loading all the luggage, off we went! Got to campsite, unloaded bags, found our dorms/cabins and unloaded everything before everyone came back together to the 'common room', which was basically to be the main socializing, eating and activities area. Ate lunch, welcome & announcements and then a session of Praise and Worship aka. full on singing. After that, 'Ice Breaking & Bonding' which was basically getting to know your group and making a team mascot, hence 'ice breaking' =P. Following that was free time which included wondering aimlessly around the place and waiting for the showers -__- Ended up having a cold shower cuz all the first few girls took all the hot water. I seriously don't understand why ppl have to wash their hair everyday. Plus, if you knew there were another like, 50ish people waiting behind you, I'd think you'd be a bit more considerate -___- Anyway, after that incident was dinner, followed by another session of Praise and Worship. Next was the first of our theme talks which was "Connecting with God". Basically the speaker scared us by saying that God doesn't 'exist', but He just is. But after explaining to us properly about that concept, our initial confusion turned into understanding XD. Cuz 'exist' has like a meaning of coming from something (or something like that) and he basically said that because God didn't come from anything, he doesn't 'exist' but He just is. Another thing the speaker told us was that we ourselves cannot connect to God, but God can connect to us. Once again we were really confused at first but then he explained it more to us. But yeah~ the theme talk session was followed up by a discussion session where we basically just talked about the talk. Concluded that the speaker was good this year and everything and that he taught us heaps (obviously). All the serious talk was then followed up by a 'Discomania' in which we were taught parts of a dance to a song and proceeded to learn the dance in 20mins and then trying to follow along to the music. I am so unco, it took me forever to get it right. I forgot the dance right after we finished it XD. After crazy dancing, supper then a group reflection on the days events and then that was it for the day. For the rest of the night, I talked on the phone, bummed around the place and then finally went to bed at around 12.
Sal's analysis of camp Day 1:
um ... yeah, my first youth camp experience was way better than I thought it was. Better than what I expected. OMG they sing so much! Argh! My throat practically died after each singing session. I swear I was whispering to people for a while before talking properly after all the singing >_>; Other than that, got to know more people. Heaps of energetic and super nice people, lol.

Camp Wednesday:
Woke up at around 6.30 which means I got around 6 hrs of sleep, maybe? Went to the common room for the morning devotion. Basically listened to some of Sime's experiences with God and everything and then concluded with a very nice song which he played and sang along to ^^. I think I then trekked around the grass patch outside the campsite talking to Tony. So funny, we were both like -____- from lack of sleep. After that was brekky followed by Praise and Worship, the our second theme talk "Connecting with the Church". This speaker was the best! Really good at public speaking~ full of expression, kinda talking in a conversation style yet keeping the attention, and gave excellent imagery with his stories and everything. I really enjoyed listening to this speaker. He basically talked about how past events effect your life and how people should be smelling of love XD aka full of love that overflows and fills others. But yeah, if you wanna know more ask me, can't be bothered typing it all down. I must stress though ... REALLY GOOD SPEAKER! Best one outta the 3 talks ^^. Next was morning tea and then our first "Interest Talk" Basically everyone had to sign up for 1 out of 4 topics and then you'd go to that group and talk about the topic for an hour or so. Everything else was taken up ("How do I tell my friends more about God etc~") so we had to go to the BoyGirl Relationships talk. It was pretty funny, listening to all the people's different opinions about relationships. And we kept discussing/arguing about why guys and girls think the way they do and how come the opposite sex aren't able to fully understand the other and everything. Meaningful talk but pretty funny at the same time XD Most entertaining talk. The talk was followed up by lunch and the sports activities. Soccer type games (cricket but with a soccer ball), bowling type games (pins were bottles filled with water and a empty popper was the target. They had to be bowled over my a football shaped stress ball XD), lawn bowl type games (best was chucking water bombs at people blindfolded) and netball type games (person has to stand on a chair with the bucket and move it around to catch the ball). That game was probably funniest to watch, all the competitiveness and watching the 'basket' catch the balls in whatever direction. I nearly fell of the chair while waiting for the ball cuz someone suddenly yelled "Go Sally!" really loudly and I was so intent in the game it scared me for a sec XD Yeah~ after all the action and games, there was free time and then dinner followed by talent night preparation. Each group was given a parable and we had to change it into a skit to perform to everyone. lol, our groups was pretty funny, Sime and Pen had to cross-dress XD. After that, another session of Praise and Worship and then group reflection on the days events. Then ... CAMPFIRE! Big big warm fire and burning/eating gooey mashmallows ^^. This night was probably one of my most interesting/random nights. Talked to this guy for like the whole night, all the get-to-know-you things and yeah~ talked about really random stuff. It was good in a way, in that he was all understanding about everything and was being all friendly but yeah, really random conversation >_>; XD But it was all nice in the same way. Never expected that topic to pop up though XD Anyway, left the campfire at around 11.30 and stumbled in the dark back to the main campsite. Watched an interesting puppet show thing by these two guys and then went back to dorms to sleep at 1 XD.
Sal's analysis of camp Day 2:
Got to meet more new people! Basically camp was turning out way better than expected. Enjoyed the second day. Best part was the talk, I seriously really enjoyed it and got heaps outta it.

Camp Thursday/Friday:
Woke up at 7. Another 6hrs of sleep. Morning devotion, brekky, Praise and Worship, theme talk discussion 3 which was the last of the talks "Connecting with the World". This talk was probably the one that required the most attention. It wasn't the best but it was still a good talk. I can't comment much on it cuz honestly I don't remember much from it >< Morning tea, interest talk 2 (good talk but kinda fell asleep in between ><) and then photo time! OMG the big big group photo. So many people >< Tony went on about how I was too short to be at the back T__T Anyway, then we had afternoon activities. I had to eat Wee-bix without anything and then later on to get bonus points ... yucky wasabi. I mean I love wasabi but the wasabi they gave me was really crappy >_>; Yeah~ pretty crazy activities. I couldn't believe that actually had some of them (eg. drinking 3 raw eggs ... eww) After the games was more talent night preparation/free time. Dinner, then the actual talent night performances. Pretty funny night. Laughed my head of at one of the performances ... they did it so well. But yeah~ everyone was good at acting!! XD Performances were then followed by a long session of sharing. Aww some stories were so sweet and sad T__T Quite a lot of people were crying because they were all touched and everything. Aww ... brother/sister sweetness. Yeah, no comment needed for the sharing, just sweet and touching. After that supper and then 'fuzzy note' writing, which was basically writing notes to everyone hoping that they've had a nice time at camp and keep in touch etcetc. Didn't sleep that night. Lived off coffee and tea. Heidi had a whooping 11 cups XD But she ended up sleeping at like 5. I dozed off for 30mins sitting in front of a table and that was basically it for the 'night'. Not many other people slept either. And if they did it was at like 5 or something. But yeah~ cuz I didn't sleep, I went outside with a bunch of people to watch the sunrise. After standing there for an hour we realised that the sun was coming out from some other direction -___- so 3 of us left while the others continued to search for the sun XD. Morning devotion, there were hardly any people, most were still sleeping, and if they weren't were sleeping throughout the devotion. It was a pretty funny morning. Some people were in their sleeping bags sleeping in the common room. They looked so funny XD Yeah~ then brekky, pack up, praise and worship, Q&A time, lunch, 'closing ceremony', final clean up/photos, them home time! Got back to church early and watched everyone saying their goodbyes. So sad. I left with my goodbyes and also knowing that I wouldn't see half the people ever again but yeah >< I will in the future hopfully.
Sal's analysis of camp Day 3 & 4:
Quite an ending to camp. Nothing much else to say except that I did have fun and got to meet heaps more people.

And that is the end of my camp recount! I was gonna have a comment section but I'll do that another day. I think that's enough for today @_@; You guys are crazy if you actually read everything!

[Holidays: Day 14 (?)]

YAY! I have finally found the time to update. Okay, I have had the time but I just didn't. REWORD! YAY! I have finally found the energy to update! *cough* This is gonna be a crazy entry. In other words, very long. Happy reading~ I'll do after camp updates first before ranting on abt the camp.

Saturday:
Dragged myself outta bed at 10 after realising that I had to get to the movies at 10.30 to meet up with A-lice, Alice, Diana and KT. Ended up half an hour late, looking sleepy from the lake of sleep from the previous few days. So anyway, Sat was movies to watch PotC. Pretty good~ Can't wait till next one. After movie, lunch at Jap restaurant, sticker photos. Pretty fun day~ Walking around half like a zombie though.

Sunday: (today)
Pretty average/bad day. Didn't get to do what I wanted to do. No church ... haven't been in a month. No baddy. Got dragged around by parents and got told off the previous night about random stuff. Went out for dinner at Sizzler with some friends. The kids had never been before so they were all really excited. Ate heaps. Near the end, one of the kids ended up vomiting ><

[Holidays: Day 8?]

Lost track of the holiday days, lol.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE ^___^ You probably don't even read this but who cares~ XD. Went Ice-skating as a birthday celebration type thing. haha ... it was a funny ice-skating day. Some could skate, some could skate and yeah~ Fun day ^^. First we all met up, me being the latest again XD Then we skated for around an hour or something and then had lunch/cake followed by Alice's present opening session. After that, back on ice we went and we skated for the remainder of the time. Afterwards, bummed around teh shopping center again before going to have dinner XD What a nice day, lol. It's been my first 'interesting' day (as in out with friends etc) since ... a week? XD *siiigh*
What else have I done in teh past few days? Anime, comp, net, and random stuff, hehe~ Basically I've just been staying at home and yeah~ Youth camp was on Friday T___T Didn't/couldn't go, obviously. But from what I've heard, it seemed like a really fun time. Opportunity missed >< Next year hopefully~~ TOMORROW however is the camp that I am going to >___>; I'm trying to stay positive about it. And it's working ... kinda. *shrugs* I hope it all goes well. 4 days without comp T___T jks~ XD I should be fine, really. New friends~
Another entry mental blank. bleeeh~ I can't remember XD Oh wellz~ cya in 4 days time ^__^;;;

- xiaoling - Monday, July 3, 2006 - 09:50 p.m. -

[Holidays: Day 3]

Ok I still haven't done anything interesting. More anime and msn bumming and general bumming around the house and origami-ing for me then I guess! XD I hope you guys are having fun doing something. lol, but yeah I was thinking about my holiday weeks to come. I realised that from this coming Sunday till next Sat, I have have a fully booked schedule o_o; Maybe cuz the camp I don't want to go to takes up 4 days >_>; But yeah *sighs* I'll live XD
Optometrist yesterday, stupid eye pressure tester thing. I can still feel and remember the air thing on my eyes. Ooow T__T
I feel so torn between different things lately. Really don't know why but I just feel like it is XD *shrugs* Strange me.

- xiaoling - Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 11:07 a.m. -

[Holidays: Day 1]

So yes, first day of holidays. What have I done? Well I woke up at 10, wondered around the house then decided to have oreos and milk for brekky, lol. Then I went on the computer and did random stuff. Went back upstairs and packed a bit. Went back downstairs to the comp and bummed on msn, watched anime, edited photos etcetc. Prepared for dinner and now I'm back in front of the computer reading fanfiction. Nice hey? XD *sigh* I sure hope I have more interesting stuff planned for the 3 weeks to come ^^'' Movies/outings with friends, family dinners and stuff like that. Hope you guys all have super great holidays planned. Or interesting ones anyway. I know SOME of you are looking forward to school again XD Even counting down.
Yesterday was the last day of GC Open. Another interesting day, lol. CXD and DLD. Didn't win anything once again but another good experience. um ... oh yeah and the funny incident of the day was during the DLD match with Sandy and me. I seriously dunno what happened but my version of the situation was that I ran to the back left of the court and did a tricky backhand. Then somehow when I turned around, my right foot caught on my left foot. I knew I was gonna fall but I couldn't make myself fall before crashing into Sandy >< Aaah! So yeah, one minute she's standing there, the next minute the both of us are on the ground tangled up and laughing our heads off XD *sigh* Silly me. haha ... such a once in a lifetime occurance, lol. I'm still laughing at it everytime I think back XD

[GC Open!]

Tired? Not tired? I dunno. I feel perfectly fine now and have no sore arms and legs or anything. At least NOW I don't, I have no idea about tomorrow morning though. So yeah today, good experience. *cough* Lost all games. I really need to improve my game techniques and tactics. *siiigh* I suck. Anywayz~ everyone else is scary good >< It's like smash, whack, smash etc. Pretty good day today. OK start to my holidays. At least I get to be with all my friends and everything. Another day of baddy tomorrow as well~ ^^
Besides the morning incident that happened yesterday, the rest of the last day of term was pretty cool. Guest speaker type thing came for a motivation type speech. Found that pretty pointless but his guitar playing was super good. After that, we had 1 session of Accounting. No one was doing work and the whole class was basically playing games. The teacher didn't even care XD So Diana and I played this funny 'Bow Man' game. Objective is to shoot the other person with an arrow into their chest and kill them o_o; Very violent you must be thinking, lol, but it was soo funny. The position of the person wasn't known so you'd just have to randomly shoot to find out. Yeah~ then Diana and I did all this other random stuff to the Bow Man and arrows. So funny XD What a way to end the day.

[Last day of school, term 2!]

ARGH! Why are there so many freaking racist freaking teachers in this freaking school. *cough* Excuse the language. ARGH! I am so freaking pissed off at the freaking racist freaking teachers in this school. It's so freaking stupid!!! My friend didn't hear the instructions properly after the teacher told us so she asked again for them to be repeated. And then the teacher goes "Oh I'm so sorry. If you don't understand this in English, I'll tell you in Japanese. Ball, yes? Throw over, yeah? Or pass to other people in the team? Get it? So what are your options??" And she said it in like slow exaggeration and looked at her as if we were stupid. FREAKING HELL! All us asians go so freaking pissed off at her after that. And the stupid teacher continued looking like that for the whole freaking less. ARGH! *bashbashbash* Just reminded me of another freaking racist teacher we had back in Yr7 for Food Technology. SO RACIST MAN! She left at the end of the year after we complained to teachers. We like to think of it as us taking part in 'firing' her XDD Stupid racist teachers.
GC Open badminton draws are all out. w00tness!~ The games are spaced out pretty evenly, like 1hr ish in between o_o; And for DXD I'm playing with this guy that is apparently, according to Diana, a little 12 yr old kid of something >_>; hmm ... I think I should be fine for that game. 4 singles games, I'm gonna die ><. OMG THEN SUNDAY!!!! I only put my name up for DLD but they put me in CXD as well!! Aaaaaah I'm gonna diiie. There were only gonna be two games for me on Sunday but they put me in CXD as well x_x I can't do C! I already suck in D! I'm gonna diiiie. Sandy, please don't kill me if I'm like running around, energy half used up by the CXD games. Other than that, I don't have to take Killua back again anymore, lol. I'm gonna try asking about the stay again. It's not often that this kinda stuff happens.
Watching Dead Poet Society in RE. So sad T__T The guy kills himself all cuz he couldn't cope with all the pressure his dad puts on him and the nil freedom he gets from him. So saaad T___T Suicide because of these things shouldn't happen. Then again, that guy is has like put up with it for like however many years old he is ... 18? I dunno. But yeah~ saaaad movie T___T

[Jap excursion!]

Went to CT today with whole Jap class for Jap food excursion today. Yummy, 'free' food ^___^ I got salmon and most others got teriyaki beef/chicken and some others got tempura. Yummy~~~~ *drools* Anywayz~ so we first got salad. Strong flavour, really salty. Then we got the obentos. Rice was the only 'normal' flavoured thing. The salmon was really salty, then the carrots were really sour, then the veges were just weird or super sour, and the other side meat stuff was sweet and salty o_O; Really strange combination but the overall thing was good and was balanced out by the rice. Oh yeah~ got miso soup as well. Nice seaweedy, tofu, meat stuff goodness XDD So then, after we all were stuffed we all got out and started walking .... to another food shop -___- LOL! The teacher introduced us to this shop where they made "Japanese shoe-creams" (profiteroles) which are apparently really famous in Japan *shurgs* So the teacher treated us all to them, and I got a "Green Tea shoe-cream" It was okay I guess. But if I had to pay the full $2.50 for the one (for myself) and not the bulk discounted price ($1.50 ish), I wouldn't get it =P hehe~ so after we finished eating that and we continued on walking ... to a convenience store. More food *diez* Hence, eating excursion!! XD Yeah~ so most bought food and ate it along the way, and then we made our long way back to school. Twas a fun Jap excursion day~ beats going to class, even though it was double Jap for our last two sessions.
Went shopping after school for drawers for my room. Walked around the clothing section and I noted the different variety of jeans available. "Wide waist, wide leg, short length", "Wide waist, wide leg, regular length length", "Mid rise, bootleg, short length", "Mid rise, bootleg, regular length" and you get the idea. So I was thinking "so does that mean the people who wear the normal regular length ones are regular? and the others aren't?" Then I got one regular and one short and measured them against each other and on me. *cough* The regular one was too long. I know what you guys are thinking now *whack*

[Sloth's weekend XD]

Warning: long and random entry.

Sloth's Saturday:
Chinese school, piano, library, home, youth group.
Comments for the day:
Chinese school: w00t!~ Last day XD Got exam marks back and bummed around for the whole day basically doing nothing.
Piano: OMG I really need to push on my pianoing. Only one more month till my exam. Hardcore piano playing over the holidays. I am so not ready >_< Even though I've had like waay over a year for this exam.
Library: man ... why does the library always have weird manga. I was looking through the shelves and there was the whole collection of "Oh My Goddess" >_>; Stupid. Then I continued looking and there were 4 books of "Girl Got Game" bks 3,4,9,10. Weirdness, but still read them. Conclusion, very weird manga. Do. Not. Read. Unless you like reading about a girl pretending to be a guy and everything and all the troubles that is tied in with that >_>;
Home: more playing around with phone XD
Youth group: super, super, super small group today. Others were helping around for the church holiday program. Supposedly quiet study with a bunch of people singing outside turns into a very distracted study. lol, funny songs. They're like, from ages ago. I remember singing them when I was in primary school. But yeah, really big study that night though. Bigger than usual. *shrugs*

Sloth's Sunday:
Church, eating, bumming around shopping centre by myself T_T XD, badminton, home, dinner with friends.
Comments for the day:
Church: the usual = interesting, fun. lol, good service about prayer and everything. hehe
Eating: LOL, don't go to Subway much so I'm not familiar with the making process XD Person kept repeating the question over and over before I replied properly. Person: "Which cheese do you want? Swiss or cheddar?". Me: "Cheeeeese? er ... normal?" Person: " -___- So cheddar?". Me: "^^'''' yeaaah." *cough*
Bumming around: lol funness XD Kinda boring. Just walking around by myself. oh wellz XD
Badminton: good practice for my singles match this weekend. omg, it's this weekend >_< But yeah~ good badminton training.
Home: phone again XD
Dinner: got to eat, got to talk, but still boring. oooh wellz~ that's what it's like with adults with kids my sister's age. Sloth gets left out. Sat there eating and staring around being bored. Bumped into someone we hadn't seen for ages. omg ... the difference uni does to people >< They go all skinny and tired and everything. Scaaary.

Ok that's it. But hey~ I'm bored in private study right now and I have nothing better to do. I wanted to type so this is where I went. Nothing interesting to talk about but my weekend >_> Who actually read all the way through?*congrats* You must be really bored too!! XD

[New phone!]

w00t!~ I have a new phone! Nokia 6280. I spent the whole night yesterday playing with it, starting with the transferral of all my contacts from one phone to another *diez* Such a tedious process. But after 1 hr?! I finally finished transferring all of them. But it's cool ^_^ I really like it. Gonna spend the weekend personlizing it and stuff. Wallpapers, music etc. lol~ something for me to do ^^
Last night, A-lice was telling me about some stuff that happened. Going to see Daniel this afternoon. I was just thinking last night, and I've found that our friendship has just ... broken ... all because of the breakup. Everything just seemed to stop after that. He said the friendship was to continue but it never happened. I wanted the friendship to continue but it never seemed to happen either. I really want to it patch up or something, instead of feeling akward or whatever when we meet or something. It's so stupid. Why do things happen like this? It's hard to forget the past, isn't it? Once something happens, it remains within us. If it's directly related to a person, you keep getting reminded of what happen and it's all akward and stuff. And then yeah~ stoooopid. hmm ....

[Marks]

w00t!~ The teachers actually marked out exams pretty quickly this term. Got MathsB, BCT and Accounting back. I'm so annoyed at myself. I'm always on the borderline of everything in the marking scheme. And I'm always making stupid stupid mistakes that really shouldn't be make *coughmathsandbctcough* T___T Maths was alright, the usual mark I get. Go the cramming I did the day before and everything XD BCT ... hmm ... such a simple test yet so easily able to do mistakes. I need to be more cautious. Accounting, I'm happy with, considering it wasn't just all practical. *sigh* Oh well, I'm happy with the semester results so far. It's just Term 2 of Yr11. I'm pushing myself more as the year progresses and I'm improving so it's all good. Just have to keep doing better ^^ so by the end of the year, I'll hopefully have marks I really like and in Yr12 even better! lol XD
This is sad. Private study right now and we're in the computer room for once. YAY! However, I can't find anything to do T___T I can't seem to find much to do lately on the computer, besides going through my folders and looking at pictures and photos that are on there. Then if I'm bored of doing that I'll go aimlessly surfing around on the web. Sometimes I'll read fanfiction but there's no good fiction lately. They're all like the typical storylines. I NEED MANGA!!!! AND ANIME!!!! XD Well, I do have anime sitting around at home but I don't think I can exactly watch them right now even though exams are over and there's technically really nothing to study for. Manga on the other hand ... I can't seem to find anything worth reading! And if I do, I have to go looking around as to where I can get it to read it. The looong process. Then I'd give up halfway. bleeh~ Still, my goal is to find manga to read since I've been kinda deprived of manga for quite sometime =P. And I gotta finish Samurai Champloo this holidays. There's only 26 episodes! I had like, 2 WEEKS to do that last holidays. But somehow I never got around to finishing it o_____o; What was I doing?!?! Saaadness. I somehow did something else instead of watching anime!! lol

[Interesting.]

Turn of events have resulted in interesting results. Both good and kinda bad. Still have around 2 weeks to discuss and stuff but yeah. Basically the go for GC Open + overnight is cool. I think. Meeeeeh~ I dunno. I'm even confusing myself now as to yes or no XD. Maybe I should just go and come back then go and come back. Bleh~ not gonna worry about that right now.
X-Men today. Twas alright. Crazy mutant powers and stuff XDD However the previews at the beginning ... I HAVE TO WATCH PotC WHEN IT COMES OUT! ^^ lol. After movie, the usual. Eating, chatting, bumming around, DDRing, more bumming around then leaving. Just realised I haven't DDRed in so long. hmmm
Mental blank. Forgot everything I was gonna say.

[The fun of no studying]

100% procrastination. Nothing to study for after exam block XD
Went to badminton training today. It was ... interesting, lol. But yeah~ it's good to go, cuz you get to learn all the techniques and stuff *shrugs* And I played really bad today. My friday night adrenaline is gone XD I also found that I really like my racket and I'm super used to it even though the strings are all bad and I gotta hit harder and stuff. hmm ... GC open is nearing. The overnight thing chance is going up and down. Earlier on the day it was like, no chance but now there's a chance. Hopefully it'll work and then I can goo~~! ^_^
I really like looking at photos. I'm looking back at my Japan trip photos right now and all the memories come back ^^ lol. And when I random flip through my photo album, I just think back to all the different times back then. And how all us friends have changed, appearance etc. I just wish I had more photos and stuff, hahah. Then again all of us at this age are like *runaway* from photos XD. Group photos are cool ^^ Me gonna try take one tomorrow XD.

[OVER!]

w00t!~ Term 2 exam block is offically OVER! And a nice way to end too, with Accounting. It was a really good test ^^ I'm happy about it. Now ... 2 more weeks till holidays =D
Just came back from badminton a while ago. I'm so tired >< I actually played properly today. I think. lol, I put in the effort to run around and hit the shuttles. But yeah~ I think I played better today compared to some other Fridays >_>; *sigh* GC Opens in two weeks. People are making me go but should I? XD I dunno~ I guess it's fun for two days but yeaaaah~ all the way down there even though I live so close by compared to others ... and dunno what to play/who to play with -__- meeeh~ got a few more days to think about it. So sleepy .... zzzz *falls on bed and sleeps*

[Foood]

I've just been looking through a recipe book. Yuuum~ *drools* Chicken, lamb, beef, salmon, seafood, pasta, cakes, desserts ... they all look so yummy, I wanna eat it all! And they're not all that hard to make! But if I eat it all I'll turn fat! XD Oooh, and yesterday, I woke up the the nice smell of COFFEE! lol, I'm becoming obsessed with food ... and coffee =D. Since the past week. I think it's cuz of exam block, cuz ever since it started I've been eating way more than usual. Ugh, I'm turning into a Wendy ... coffee, chocolate and food (kinda) addict. JKJK~ lol Wendz do you even read this? hehe ... anywayz yeah~ main point - I've been getting way heaps cuz of study o_O;; ... and you're all staring at me weirdly XD

Here's another I've found ... in my USB this time.

A Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box. There are five things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.

[1] You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand.

[2] You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.

[3] You will be able to correct mistakes you will make.

[4] The most important part of you will always be what's inside.

[5] On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

[1] You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

[2] You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

[3] You will be able to correct mistakes you might make or grow through them.

[4] The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

[5] On every surface you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything.

^___^ Anyway, back to studying.

[One more to go!]

Still at school waiting to type up Alice's biology notes. I wanna go eat my lunch and destress!!! XD Anyway, just finished IPT and Jap exams. Yes, IPT was super hard, but if I somehow memorize all the 30-something sheets we got and all the algorithms and codes I might have done alright =P Jap was good, but I kinda blanked out at the end. I was staring at the teacher going "eer..." *sigh* I'm all good. But yeah~ Accounting time for the rest of today and the following 2 days @_@

Teh riddle ... it was in my inbox from ages ago and I happen to find it again. But yeah~ see if you guys can figure out the answer ba~
"Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry". There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?
Enjoy~ Check out this site too --> http://digicc.com/fido/

[Mistakes, study and food]

Why do I always, always, ALWAYS make stoooopid mistakes ... in MATHS EXAMS!?!?! Somebody PLEASE poke me/hit/whack/bonk me on the head for my stupidity and knock some sense into my brain! Seriously, it's always AFTER the exam do I realise my mistakes. I always get the simple stuff wrong, but it's the hard stuff I manage to get right XD. What is wrong with me?! *cough* So yeah~ obviously, Maths exam was today. Ever since 3.30pm I've been thinking about all the stupid stuff I did. I hope it doesn't cost me much ... otherwise *whacks self on head* aaah~ careless/stupid/silly me =P I spent the whole day yesterday doing Maths ... cramming all Ch4-7 revision exercises into the one day. Yesterday was like:
Wake up 8.10 to find that we weren't going to church, went back to sleep, woke up again at 9ish, made brekky, maths, snack, maths, snack/lunch, maths, dinner, maths, procrastination, maths, maths, snack (10pm o_O), maths, SLEEP at 12.45.
You'd think I'd know all the maths stuff back to front since I spent that long studying. *sigh* Must. Remember. Not. To. Make. STUPID. Mistakes! >_<
Other than that, the past few days and exam block have made me realise ...
1. ... studying makes me hungry XD ...
2. ... because I've been 'crazy' studying, I've been getting hungry heaps ...
3. ... getting hungry heaps means eating heaps ...
4. ... eating heaps means gaining weight and getting fat XD ...
5. ... and I think I'll stop now. I see people staring at me weirdly XD and wanting to whack me *runs away*
*cough* And guess what I've been eating? Instant noodles, ice-cream, blueberry danish, chips, chocolate, coffee roll, tea, oreos, milk, FRUIT, noodles. omg ... the unhealthiness. And there's still 4 more days till end of exams. Four days of eating o_o; XD
I had a riddle to post up but I can't find it. I'll post it up next time.

[Two down, 3 to go]

Start of exam block today. Freakiness. First up was English. I think I was worrying about how cold I was more than what I needed to remember for the essay XD But yeah~ it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Average essay as per my crappy standards. *sigh* Afterwards, went to library to half bum and memorize Japanese. Jap reading and writing exam went pretty well~ not much harder than I thought it would be. My aim for both is A+ and if I did stupid mistakes which bring down my mark I'm gonna go >___< hmm ... yeah and during Jap exam, I looked over to the IPT students and they were all like >< which really freaked me out. Moved IPT to Tuesday so I have a few more extra days for studying. Apparently it's like ... way hard this time. Gaaaah! *study study study* Maths on Monday, IPT and Jap speaking on Tuesday, Friday ACCOUNTING! Wednes and Thurs off. omg ... I think I'm devoting all that time to Accounting.
I haven't eaten Mars bars in so long. But then yesterday, I suddenly ate a whole 60g bar ... CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD~! All the chocolate, caramel and creme stuff XD

[Exam block]

GAH. Exam block starts this Friday. I'm like half freaking out and half not freaking out. In IPT right now and I'm pissed off cuz VisualStudio is stuffing up on me and I can't get anything done!! >_< I've already wasted like 30 minutes trying to upload the files. IPT exam is this Friday, but because it clashes with my Jap exam it's next Tuesday. But I'm still stuffed for it even though I have 3 extra days! *diez* But yeah, BCT will be finished by session 4 today, so that will be off my mind. I'm aiming to finish my English essay today so I can memorise it for Friday. I was gonna finish it yesterday but I fell asleep in the process ... AGAIN >_>; Jap writing and reading I'm all good. I guess I'm not too stuffed for this Friday. MathsB exam on Monday, IPT Tuesday, Accounting on Friday >< and Japanese speaking somewhere during exam block next week. Aaaaaah. *cough* I think I'm fine.
City of Brisbane badminton competition last Sunday. Interesting experience ... LOL. Made me realize how much I really suck in badminton. *sigh* Okay my goal for this year is to get better in badminton. And get stronger =__= and my techniques too. Without training =P So basically I just gotta play more badminton when I can. Meeeh~ Badminton is fun and I really like playing it but I don't wanna be too obsessed/hardcore with it XD
Holidays coming up soon ... 3 more weeks. Gotta live exam block first though. But yeah~ there's YG camps I wanna go to. I hate arguing/discussing with my parents about going to these kinda things. They always somehow relate one topic to another topic and then there's no proper reply to whether I can go or not and then we all stop and walk away looking like -___- for the rest of the day. Wah~ I wanna go! It's actually something interesting and beneficial that I can do this holidays. And I'll have fun and learn stuff and yeah. Going to camp this holidays would be really good as opposed to just bummming around at home on the computer and being bored. This is annoying ><

[Frozen]

The weather is getting colder and colder eatch day >_< I'm sitting in front of the computer now, nearly half frozen. Icicleeeee (spelling >_>) *shivers* And now my nose is stuffed as well. I hope I don't get any further sickness.
Layout. Um. XD This is the result of boredom during BCT. It was a 5 minute thing though so I didn't waste my time ^^. But yeah, I left my USB at home today >< Out of all the days in the week, I had to leave it at home on the day which I call "computer-subject" day. I got so annoyed at myself for the whole day. On the other hand, exam block draft timetable got released today. If everything still goes as planned, I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off. w00t!~ gah, but once again, Japanese and IPT exams are the exact same time. Why do they always do that?!?!
Mum told me today that this Sunday would mark the day as one year since we've been to church. I knew we started going sometime in May, but I wasn't sure when. But it's nice knowing that I've been going to this church for 1 year. And FiGS ... nearly I think. I reckon it's a big achievement for me/the family. We used to frequently go to church back in my early primary school years. But then something happened and we then we never continued attending. Then in the past few years we once to friend's church or something but we never continued. So when we found this place and started attending regularly, I thought "Hey! This is good". But yeah, I just wanted to note this down.
