I haven’t blogged for so long. (T_T)

I have mountain homework and I feel dreadfully stressed out. I let my pile of homework accumulate whilst I sit in front of the computer reading manga 24/7. I wake up so early to download manga and now I am officially sleep deprived. You can practically see the dark deep circles etched around my naturally dark eyes.(Gothic much?) I feel depressed and dead. I complain that I have no life yet I'm not doing anything to improve it. Theres a tonne of imminent assessments to be due. Here is a mini calendar of it.

Theresa’s Bday





So as you can see, the reason for my depression is no wonder. There’s also a Major Work due sometime after Wk 9 but I’m not so sure when. Sophie’s bday is a MAJOR break for us all. My friends planned to make a joint bday party where we will be celebrating Sophie’s, Jenny Lu’s, Theresa’s and my bday on the same day. I don’t really know if that will work but whatever.

Things I would like to mention but unfortunately had missed out on :( -
♥ Jenny Guo’s Bday: we had a fun time eating a roasted chicken symbolising a cake but it tasted like dough
L
♥ Valentine’s Day: To all the lovers out there, I give you a belated wish, ‘ May you be together 4 ever’ <3.

♥ Chinese New year: It was normal. Traditions are never fun. I got lots of red packets but that doesn’t mean I got a lot of money
:(

I’ve been using the sad smile a lot on MSN lately. God, it’s depressing. oh wells, after a few more weeks, let’s hope I can turn this frown upside down!

At school , there’s practically nothing to do. Sometimes we play ‘truth or dare’ but that’s a dodgy game because you don’t know when a person’s lying and when they’re not. So, they always ALWAYS pick truth. I resort to dare to liven things up and when I see my friends laugh (no, not at me I hope) I feel happy too. But that was when we didn’t have UNO. Hahahas :). At first, I didn’t really like Uno because it’s plain basic and boring. But I discovered, when playing with your closest friends, you can actually find a lot of joy out of it.

My layout. What happened to it? I’m stuck on this part that I can’t figure out how to do and Theresa won’t teach me :( So is at fault? THERESA :).

Jenny Lam and I are planning something for Theresa’s Bday. It’s exciting but yet again, delayed. @@ I really hope to get this thing done before her Bday.



Tuesday, February 5, 2008



I’ve been so busy during the last week. I didn’t even manage to write the ‘first-day-of-school’ blog post that I planned .(T.T) oh wells. So here is the redemption for the most important day of the year (besides my Bday of course): timetables=horrible, teachers=horrible…Therefore, Year of 2008=horrible. I have Mr F for English. That’s… terrible. Out of the 10+ teachers in the English faculty, I have to get taught by him. I despise him because even if a piece of writing is excellent, he will deem it to be average. But, having Ms Diab for Drama covers up for the misery of English. Sophie and I have Mr Kumar for Commerce. It was hilarious. His voice is bearly audible and I laughed so much last lesson that tears came running down my face. I like :). Today, my buddies and I chose our sport for the term – chess. That is the furthest option you can get from actual sports but it’s not like I hate sports. This term is just a bit high on temperature, so chess is a very suitable option. Yoga and Ping Pong were also kept in mind, but everyone confussled over it so… chess it is.

I shouldn’t even be on the computer today. That’s due to my new commitment – finish every piece of homework on the day that they are given. Lame?whatever. But, today was an exception and I felt the urge to blog. I have this excruciating blister that developed underneath my toe, don’t ask me how that works but it does. It hurts like hell to walk, not to mention run. Well anyways, my mum had to go shopping for Chinese New Year (which is on Thursday) and insisted for me to come along to carry her shopping. Now, I would have, but it really goddamn hurt for me to walk. We were arguing (no actually, it was a one-sided argument- my way) and after a while, she didn’t tried persuading anymore but instead, she forced me. My little brother decided to tag along so I couldn’t really work out the point of me going. My mum dragged me to the asian groceries in Canley Heights and abandoned me to go buy flowers. I just sat on the nearest bench in a really really really bad mood. I was ultra sleepy from staying up late the previous night and the blister was really not helping it. So, I rested my head on my knee and tried to go to sleep. It was futile because I was in a public place and there is absolutely no way for anyone to be able to sleep under such circumstances. Then, this random girl who was talking with her mum very disrespectfully, sat next to me. I didn’t really pay much attention to her until she spontaneously asked me to open her drink. >.> ( I assumed she was a bitch and instantly thought that she was a loser). I didn’t reply, mainly because I was in an ultra bad mood but I took the bottle anyway. I fiddled with it and when she realised that I couldn’t do much better than she can, she took it back. After 5 minutes, I was in a much better mood so I decided to spark up a conversation with her. I was about to speak when she made a comment about a bypasser’s shorts. She said it was digusting but I didn’t find anything wrong with it until I realised it was sky blue. After that, we kept on talking and talking and yes, we were suddenly friends. During the thirty minutes that I spent with her, this was what I found out:

Her name is Vivy.

She is in Year 6.

She attends Holy-something Public School (private Christian school in Paramatta)

Her school finishes at 3:30pm, sometimes 3:40pm

She lives in Paramatta, 10 minutes from her school and shop.

She wears size 9 shoes (not children’s size, apparently).

Her parents were into business

Her brother is a lawyer in training

Her sister is a doctor

Once, when she was 5 years old, she entered a plane and sat on its seat without lining up.o.0”

She used to watch Naruto.

When her brother was young, he pretended to be batman and fell down the stairs. >.>

Her brother thinks that this honey drink containing seeds looks like eyeballs whilst she thinks that it looks like fish’s eggs.

Her brother wants her to be his partner in business in the future.

She doesn’t think that she’s rich(which she is, obviously) but she thinks that she’s smart.

She used to have a two- storey house in Queensland.

Yes, she is a very extroverted person. By the way, I found out that she’s not bitchy but instead, she’s very nice. This is the very first time I’ve ever made an extended conversation with a stranger. That sort of made my day and I don’t feel the blister anymore.(:

I’m in the progress of making a new layout. Due to the lack of my PS skills, it’s going to take a loooooooooooong time. Oh and I watched ‘Australia’s so you think you can dance’. I like:3. This 15 year old guy danced really pro and he received a standing ovation. It’s surprising to see someone my age receive so many compliments from such strict judges. I read somewhere that there’s going to be an ‘Australia’s next top model’ show. Even though I love those kind of shows, it’s irritating to see how Australia keep imitating America’s shows. How unoriginal. There’s this movie called ‘The Mist’ and it looks really interesting. It’s coming out on Feb 6th. Me want watch (:

Holidays have like pratically ended for me and i'm in a panic for school. There's like 1 more day left. How saddening. Well, anyways, I made title / cover pages for my books ! And here they are :


5 cover pages for 5 subjects excluding english and drama and one extra for Ms. Jenny Lam. Yes I felt very bothered. But it would be boring to look at those plain, fulgy books every single school day for the rest of the year. So, I decided to make something more cute and pleasing, rather than keep something that's an eyesore. No, those are not my ideas and I do not take credit for its originality. I got a few of those uber cute toys, drew a larger version and shaded it but it may not look so cute anymore. Oh and the brand or wherever it came from, is tagged somewhere on the picture itself.

I've also got something to get off my chest. It's been bothering me ever since yesterday. Every Monday, I take English lessons. He's a private tutor and comes to my house to tutor my brother and I. Well, last fortnight, he organised a lesson that really annoyed me. My brother and I never had a sociable relationship. Our relationship staled over the years and we are really reclusive to each other. Well anyways, he said that we were to be a team and cooperate with each other and work out the answer to the question. It was a-w-k-w-a-r-d, and I knew that the teacher had no ill-intentions but still, it was ... yeah. THIS Monday however, was different. We were writing essays and he obviouly wanted to pick on me. I quote him, "Jenny, this must be worst essay that you've written this year!" Well duh, it was the ONLY essay I wrote this year but I didn't have the heart to say it because I was still shocked at the fact that he dissed my writing (which he had never done before ). But that wasn't the end of it. "Jenny, this has got to be the most digusting essay that you have written in your life"<- no, i could think of more digusting piece you old hag, like the one I wrote for my Year 9 yearlies.
And the point of the above was that i feel that another one of my teachers would have to be branded with a disrespectul name. Like 'old man', my maths tutor, he constricts people in every way possible and yeah, that's why he got that name. I was thinking, if i had to label my english teacher, what would it be.. fat boy? @@ well now i feel slack, i mean WTF what's wrong with me. I guess i just hate people changing.

I want a new layout. This one is getting old. I think I shall make my own since Ms. Theresa Nguyen's ideas never seem to fit into my perception. Yes, I am not running to you anymore Theresa. Instead, I think I'll run to Jenny. ROFL. Jenny's layouts are always, ALWAYS black.. which I <3<3<3. Black is such a pure texture and it seems to match with everything. Even clothing. I've got nothing against blue, it's just this blue that I especially hate.

I have recently discovered that Sefton High School is a very demanding school. To be able to get into Physics/Chemistry, you would need a score over 60, at least. To get into Advance English, they require you to achieve consistent, high marks throughout the year. That is depressing because I was never good at Science and am failing English.

NOOOOO. It is that time of the year once more! The period of three of four days where you come to realisation that school is about to being again and then that’s when you go into frenzy, and panic for the upcoming days of hell. Well whatever. My grade starts on Thursday so two days of school and then… a mini-holiday! (of 2 days) Thinking that way may be pure lameness and it obviously shows that I’m in an extreme desperation to skip school but who wouldn’t, when they’ve got agonizing blisters on their foot and in their mouth. I can hardly walk and not to mention, talk. yes, I am SOOOOO prepared for school. I do, however, want to be reunited with friends and receive my new timetable.

I have decided to list all the great moments of my holidays even though they may sound boring. So here they are:

My trip to blue mountains - the scenery was just mesmerizing and I completed my exercise for the day whilst walking up and down those mountains. It was strenuous and I felt like collapsing when I finished and I also got lost… but that’s a different story.

My trip to Anna Bay, which is like 3 hrs from Sydney - My brother and I went body boarding on these steep sand dunes which was not a good idea. I broke a few brain cells, eat a whole gulp of sand and badly scratched the body board... which was sad. But I have to admit, it was thrilling for a few seconds.

My shopping trips- I bought a whole tonne of clothes and i calculated that I spent around $300-$400 on clothes. Wow, that satisfied me alright.

My first homemade bag- Yes. I got that inspiration from Theresa who made her first bag last year and it turned out quite pretty. So, (no I don’t call it copying) I decided to make one myself. I bought fabric which costed $7.50 and butterfly accessories which costed $2.50 and that amounts to $10. Oh, and my mum, she opposed me from making this bag, which was sad because like, she’s a parent and you would expect her to give me unconditional support. But no, instead, she underestimated me. It took me quite a while to piece all of the parts together but it took me even longer to spray paint my bag. The picture I used was not entirely of my own creation as I got some ideas from Photoshop but I did the arrangement on my own. I must tell you, I did manage to spray the template on but it turned out quite disgusting. It still looks like a bag though, which was surprising for my mum and I.

Cloverfield – yes it was a movie that I greatly anticipated to watch. My brothers watched it whilst I was shopping and that remained oblivious to me until the end of my shopping trip. Now, what would you think I preferred better? Cloverfield or shop to my heart’s content. Well, like any shopholic girl, I would have chose shopping but this movie, omg it looked so good! so if I could turn back time, I would have definitely chose Cloverfield. But anyways, I did get my chance to watch Cloverfield when I went out with friends. Now, I had warning from my brother that it was extremely dizzying and I forgot his good-hearted warning as I was so excited. And guess what? I felt so nauseous that at one point, I felt like throwing up. But overall, a good movie that I would recommend to any sci-fi fans although I researched the plot before I watched it. But yeah, going with friends made it more enjoyable ;].

The Australian Tennis Grand Slam – For some reason, I am now officially addicted to look at males playing tennis. Jus looking at the ball ricocheting back and forth across the court is simply enthralling. Maybe the reason as to why I’m suddenly addicted to tennis is because of my family’s influence. Every time they switch on the TV, they always flick to channel 7 which is channel that’s airing the Grand Slam. No wonder. Now, there was match that I was particularly deplored with. Roger Feddera (ranked 1st in the world) vs Djokovich (ranked 3rd) and guess what? Roger lost three consecutive sets and was immediately out. I mean, you would expect ranked 1st to beat rank 3rd but not only did he lose, he also lost in a contemptible manner. At first, when I though Djokovich was going to lose, I rooted for him because losers need more fans to make them feel a bit better you know? and as Feddera was losing, I changed sides but now I just hate Ferrara for putting up a poor match.

And yes, those are the events that made up a wonderful holiday. Hope these memories will not fall out as many of my others have done.

Oh and this layout. All thanks to Theresa. My compliments and appreciation to you, although I really do hate this fugly blue. But expect me to run to you with my next new layout idea =3.
