Most people will tell you that the worst thing to do during a STUVAC is find or start something incredibly addictive or time-consuming that will take up pretty much all your time and brain power instead of using it to memorise all that junk for finals. That being said, I reckon one of the worst things you can do is decide to watch dramas. Because me, being an ex-drama junkie, once I get started on a new drama which I think will turn out awesome, will have me downloading it and watching it throughout the entire day.

Luckily for me though I stopped downloading after ep2 or I'm gonna end up resitting a failed exam and potentially delay me in my 6 YEARS OF MEDICINE (ZOMG FML LOL)

Drama I'm watching right now is "ryusei no kizuna". Plot looks pretty interesting to say the least..

*****

"When we grow up… We’ll kill him together". Koichi, Taisuke, and Shizuna are three siblings whose parents had been brutally murdered when they were just in elementary school, and they vowed to avenge their death. Fourteen years later, their vengeful plan unravels countless new facts. A shocking revelation leads to an overwhelmingly emotional ending. What will become of the siblings who have lived their lives solely in reliance of their bond alone?
******

Regardless, the plot definitely sounds more unique than your average love story, one that is described all to well by nigahiga <--- (pssst, click the link ^_~)

On another note, the past 4-5 days of being sick have really screwed my study pattern. Talk about last minute cramming to prep for 2 exams, followed by 3 nights of parties, another 2 supposed meet-ups after that and finally a week off in Hobart. ~~Not to mention juggling 19 hours of tutoring a week hahaha~~ .

I realised something today. I can't afford to be sick. Holy jeebuz I never knew how badly it could screw up your week

2010-06-17T21:23:00.002+10:00

Music: The sound of the vuvuzelas on the TV hahaha =)

Nothing beats watching soccer infront of the TV with a blanket and pillow when you feel awfully sick. Don't know what happened today, suddenly felt really sick, headachey and tired =( Ohh well, gotta have an early night tonight then sigh

And lol, study notes + world cup football? You know as much as I do that it's all just wishful thinking if I think I;m gonna get much study done during the Argentina vs Korea match.

So I was trolling around the internet today, and stumbled across Wong Fu's store and found a shirt that would totally suit this point in time right now:

It's pretty cheap too!

Okay so this has been totally failing me this last month or two. Remember how I said I would revive it? Complete and utter BS man, the last post was over 2 months ago ! Hahaha I have serious commitment issues to this blog.

But since Christina Yau has insisted that I kick-start this blog again, I shall do so. You know what would be funny? If after a week or so I totally ditch the project and stop. So woman, you are going to need to be my motivation to keep blogging yes? Anytime I don't blog you'll be like "JIM WTF how come you haven't updated me on your life?!"

You know what frustrates me? When tutor kids cancel last minute. You wake up at 8am after a soccer match that finishes at 6.30am (ZOMG it was Germany vs Schwarzer last night) and then they text you at 9am saying they want to move the 10am tutoring slot to 1pm. Screws up your day so badly...

But seriously, with exams coming up, there really is NOTHING to do. Read a textbook, eat, read a textbook, make notes, watch TV, eat, nap, rinse, repeat. It reminds me of HSC days when all I did after school was go home. Looking back on it now, it's so unproductive. Didn't go out and see the world, didn't really work. All I did when I got home was play games / TV / "study". Such was life in yr12. But now, 2 years later, in uni, the cycle seems to be returning. T__T

Speaking of blogging and high school, remember the days of
- bebo
- xanga
- myspace

Hahaha embarrassing, but hey, we all went through it.

And more importantly, does anyone actually REMEMBER what the original facebook layout looked like? I think there are still facebook groups out there that wish the original fb layout was still around....haha....yeah right....=p

Haha laziness on my behalf is getting the better of me. Not that I have any work to do, I guess I've just been keeping myself busy. Going out, working a lot. Playing FFXIII. My goodness I never thought I would get myself back into gaming, but I've been racking in so many hours of the game that I can't keep track of my day anymore haha. One minute it's 4pm, next thing you know it's 8pm. Really not good for my study pattern and productiveness. But once I finish everything in the game, I know I can once again focus on the task at hand.

ie. earn money and study hard

I've run out of good music to listen to lately. Does someone have anything they can recommend?

PS. Tako I promise I WILL call you soon. Don't you worry. Good things take time remember. And when I call you, we shall have a LONG 3-4 hour chat <3

Music: SNSD - run devil run

Talk about complete failure. After the first post, the next post to pop up comes like, two weeks down the road. Maybe I really DON'T have the time to blog haha. But no worries, must keep this up.

Haha TAKO!! <3 Love the random chatbox comment. I'm amazed you still check this page. Aww I feel loved. I really must see you soon, I miss you alot =( Remember our fun memories when I visited end of '08? We should taaaalk!

I'll let you in on a little secret? I might be going back end of this year ;) Don't tell the rest of the people in msia yet! I'll let them know myself haha.

****

Might I add that FFXIII is SUCH AN AWESOME GAME. I've seriously been wasting hours away infront of the TV... Hahaha I'm going to be so sad when the game's over and done with. Don't worry, I'll be sure to replay it many times

2010-03-09T00:38:00.001+11:00

Funny how you tell yourself that you'll do a blog and KEEP it going, but in the end of the day you completely fail because of:

- time constraints
- lack of dedication

or rather just a mix of both?

This is round 3 haha. I better keep this up from now on..

2008-12-21T09:28:00.002+11:00

Okay the reason I haven't been blogging for so long is that I've just been busy busy xD And trying to keep myself busy. Otherwise the days will come by so slowly. After all, I AM going overseas on the 31st (OMG OMG 10 more days).

Anyway, just a quick post to keep people up to date

MOST PLANS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED!

The beauty of post-HSC life...

MOOD: Tired
MUSIC: Trey Songz - Can't Help But Wait

As the title suggests, the beauty of post-HSC life has finally started to reveal itself to me.

The lack of stress
The lack of teachers
The lack of restrictions

Haha, it all showed itself to me this morning at 1am when we were planning what to do today lol. 8hrs later I had 5 people at my place, another 2 came 5mins later after calling them. Only post-HSC life allows for this last minute planning a few hours before =D

Got a few friends over. Ended up watching a few movies, crapping around at my place. We were all pretty damn bored and didn't wanna spend money so we're camping at each other's houses instead since it's so much cheaper. Plus I need to do ALOT OF SAVING!

Yesterday's dance class was seriously, SO HOT OMFG. Check out the choreography we learnt. Same teacher as in the video. He's taught this set of choreography before obviously:

Now I have to teach this to my friend since she missed the class yesterday and REALLY wants to learn it now. HAHA too bad for missing! =p But man, you feel so sore afterwards! Ohh well, good exercise =)

OVERSEAS TRIP UPDATE
Flight has been paid for and everything is looking smooth.
Now I have to start preparing all the presents and stuff that people want from Australia.

List so far:
- DOLLY : A lifetime supply of chocolate (LMAO. you know I can't supply that)

- jim

2008-11-23T17:24:00.002+11:00

Been a long time coming ~

MOOD: Getting a little bored and impatient
MUSIC: Big Bang - LADY

Haha, this blog has seriously become deserted ever since HSC finished. So much for blogging more often. Instead I've slacked off alot more and done other things in my time. Well, seriously, so much has happened this last week in terms of events that to blog it all would take up like, 10 pages. 10 pages of junk that no one WOULD read haha!

Okay, so skip straight to the relevant stuff.

OVERSEAS TRIP UPDATE
Bookings have been confirmed.

DEPARTURE - 31st December: Sydney International [1540 hours Australian time ] arriving at KLIA [ 2050 hours Malaysian time ]

RETURN - 1st February: KLIA [ 0900 hours Malaysian time ] arriving at Sydney International [ 1955 hours Australian time ]

Within that one month period I'll be hopping about the place as before stated. As for when I'll be hopping to singapore / hong kong, that hasn't been finalised yet. At least my flight has been reserved and payment is due tomorrow. ^_^v

Still got one month to wait D= Half of my friends have already gone off to other countries RAWR! That's why I'm so impatient haha

Anyway, so many stories to tell, but sorta..lazy LOL!

- jim

2008-11-12T21:41:00.002+11:00

Wow so much for updating often..

MOOD: Really happy and livin' it up
MUSIC: Anything and EVERYTHING

Really, my mood thing above says it all. I'm just having WAY too much fun lately that I really haven't had time to blog at all! =O Okay, time to remember everything that I've done these past few days.

SUNDAY 9th November:
Two parties on at the same day. Shirley had her birthday bash in the city at karaoke bar and pool lounge. Jeff had his huge celebration party at his house with drinks and the lot and what not. Haha Di and I went party hopping. Both of us got up super early, went to Jeff's and had fun there from like 11 - 4pm. Actually, not it really wasn't that fun at the beginning. No one really started showing up (I have no idea why Jeff wanted Di and I to get there at 11 when the next person that came came at like..2pm). So we ended up using his kitchen and...wait for it...started cooking. No joke, we went through his pantry, dug up food and started cooking a quiche pie. Hahaha, it turned out awesome though. Our first one was lacking a bit of after-taste so we redid it for a second time and it turned out great.

LOL a story to tell your kids seriously.
"Ohh what did you do after your HSC?"
"I went to a friend's party, and instead of enjoying myself, my friend and I used his kitchen and started cooking"

HAHAHAHA

Well, our train was for 3:15pm but LOL, by the time we finished playing Nintendo Wii it was like..3:30pm so Di and I were like, super late for Shirley's which started at 4. Ended up gettin to karaoke at 4:30pm. And even then it wasn't that great. SOMEONE KEPT HOGGING THE KARAOKE MACHINE *ahem* michelle and sheena... *ahem*

Anyway, after that, headed BACK TO JEFF's til like 11pm. Haha, lots of fun =]
Nintendo Wii + half drunk people = HILARITY.
Absolutely hilarious to watch people's coordination just collapse completely and seeing them not know how to hold the controller properly HAHAHA.

Monday 10th November:
My day in to relax and SAVE MONEY. Can't remember what I did. All I remember is that the day passed before I realised it haha. Oh, started playing RO again. HeartbeatRO. Nice slow rates [ 50/50/50 ]. Not too fast so that it's ridiculously imbalanced, but not too slow that it seems like eternity before reborn. Max levels = 99, so it's a really balanced server. All my friends that used to play RO decided to play again. So that's like..20 people all playing on the same server..again. XD So fun

Tuesday 11th November:
ANOTHER day out. Grace called me the night before and was like:
"Jim jim what're you doing tomorrow?"
Haha ended up going to city with her and her friends, Bren and myself. Just basically shopped around. Went to check out all the suits and dresses at Myer + David Jones. Buying gear for formals and all that sort. TAROCASH has a 60% off sale til Monday! =O
Good brand + good quality stuff + cheap prices = WIN.

After that, went to play pool. Bren and I pretty much treated all the girls to free pool, so that's more money out of my pocket HAHA.

Total expenses: Little over $50 i think
Gosh I really need to keep a tab on this..Considering I really NEED TO SAVE if I plan to accomplish my "bring $1500 overseas to spend on clothes in an asian country"

Today:
DANCE CLASS STARTED!
Ohhh yeaaah. 6pm - 7:45pm sessions at Syd. Dance company in Parramatta. Haha the warmups are insane! They're even harder and more strenuous than the choreography. Like..literally, one hour of stretches, isolations and warmups with 45mins of learning a routine. That's how much emphasis they put on fitness in dance classes.
Not many of us there actually. Only Jaemin, Nathan, Kerry and myself. Was expecting others to join. AHAHA apparently, MR EDWARD CHAN is joining us to dance in the coming weeks. OMG LOL

Eddie: "I will never dance"

Whatever happened to that Eddie?! Just cause you finished HSC doesn't mean you suddenly change your views! AHAHAHA ohh well, not that we don't want you there. It's just so LOL that you changed your mindset so fast =p

And yeah, here I am now, back from dance class and pretty tired ^^;
----------------------------------------
OVERSEAS TRIP PROGRESS
It's turning out quite well. Sent out a few emails to people, asking them to help me make lists on PLACES TO GO. Well considering the reason for my overseas trip is
1. see relatives + friends
and most importantly
2. GO SHOPPING (for clothes mostly)

you can tell that most of the list is just shopping malls and places of interest.

TARGET: Trying to bring $1500 AUD to spend overseas. Converting to ringgit, thats about over RM3000 haha. PLENTY to spend on clothes! yaaay
----------------------------------------

Anyway, that's the progress. I'll keep you all informed!

- jim

PS. DJ KUNI's sessions are about to start pretty soon. Give me 1-2 more days to talk to DJ kymchee and fix up my technical problems and I'll be good to start live-DJing!

2008-11-08T19:48:00.003+11:00

LIFE STARTS

Haha my goodness, I was supposed to come home and blog after finishing the chem exam, but seriously, WHO WOULD?! Straight away after exam, went out with a whole bunch of people to party in the city all night =D Ahh man, the life is so good now. I don't feel any stress, any pressure. I have the freedom to go out and party and relax and actually do things i WANT to do from now on!!

Overall, the exams really weren't that bad at all. I expected them to be really stressful and what not, but overall, not that stressful. Which is good and bad. Good in that there's not so much pressure. But also, not enough stress makes you REALLY lazy, and you just totally slack off. But ohh well, I think I did good in all my exams. Kept focused, worked at it, and now that it's all over, I'm really feeling the relief and enjoying every moment now =D

So what's my plan after HSC? Hahaha welll....

Yesterday: Stayed at home and rebuilt my computer as well as cleaned out my room. Oh my GOODNESS, my room was an ABSOLUTE MESS. Just to show you how messy:

IT's like a tornado went through it ...

more tornado. See that black garbage bag in the middle? That's where I threw all my rubbish...

My bed. Can't even sleep in it!

Just take a look at HOW MUCH I had to throw out LOL

And it all finally making its way into the wheelie bin in our house

Okay seriously, guess how much the garbage bag weighed in the end. It was filled with all the notes and paper I didn't need since school finished after all, and I'll NEVER do the course again. It weighed..

16.8 KILOGRAMS

That must be like, the equivalent of 6 trees or something. Seriously, OMG. I was thinking of the poor trees. My room became 17kg lighter because of redundant paper I didn't need anymore. Good thing I didn't end up burning it like I had planned to. I'm just thinking of how much carbon dioxide I'd have let off into the atmosphere. Only add to global warming HAHA.

Also with my computer reformatted, it's now FAST again, and doesn't lag anymore. Ohh man this is going to be AWESOME ^__^v What sucks though, the reinstalling of EVERYTHING. Lucky I have all the source files hidden away somewhere..If not I'd have had to redownload everything ~___~ Takes HOURS just to install everything again..eeeesh

Today: Another relaxing daaay. Woke up late, just totally relaxed the day away. Went to library and borrowed a couple books including...a few cook books! Haha I'm gonna get started on learning how to cook. Moroccan food looks pretty damn awesome, so might get cracking on a few dishes sometime in the future.

Also had a dinner party to celebrate my bro's birthday. He's turning..what..11 on Tuesday so yeah, had the dinner outing today =D omg, eating at a malaysian restaurant makes you miss the place D= Lucky I'm going end of this year, CANNOT WAIT!!!!!! More on this further down..

Tomorrow: DOUBLE PARTY!! Party hopping. Already planned out the logistics of transport. Leaving really early, coming back really late. Haha 2 parties =] I'll take LOTS OF PICS for you guys!

Okaay..as for things I'm planning to start:

1. DANCE CLASS - Yess! I can finally start dance classes after I got my mum's approval! 6 - 7:45pm at Sydney Dance Company in Parramatta every WEdnesday. Beginners hiphop sessions. If I feel confident enough I'll move up to intermediate, but for a first shot I'll give beginners a try. A whole bunch of us are going to. Ohh man, THIS WILL BE GOOD

2. Pick up jobs again - I already tutor 2 kids, but I had to take a month off tutoring at the pre-uni tutoring centre 'cause Natasha - my boss - wanted me to focus on HSC. Well, called her straight after HSC and told her to HIRE ME AGAIN!! Ahaha now I'm just waiting for her to call and tell me what times and I'm THERE

3. COOKING - As before stated, you watch me. I am going to become a PRO COOK x3

4. LIVE-ONLINE DJing - Ahaha okay this is just, so totally cool. A week ago, I found a forum: http://www.asianload.com/ and was looking through it, and found that they had a live-streaming asian music radio run by volunteers, asianload community members and dedicated fans of asian music. After a few days studying with the online-radio on, I decided, "hey lets get to know the community" and so I did. Ahaha few days later, i was like "ohh what the heck, after HSC lets try LIVE DJ-ing!!" So I handed in an application and all that, and YAY I am now an ASIANLOAD DJ-in-the-making. Why I say in the making..I haven't really worked out my schedules and times that'll fit inside my week.

But so far, it's looking to be Monday nights and Thursday afternoons (australian time). Since the radio itself is based in America, times there are TOTALLY different. It's like..19hour gap between Aust and Western California. That's just NUTS man.

So after I get my schedule and post it, COME TUNE IN TO DJ KUNI's LIVE DJ SESSIONS.

5. OVERSEAS TRIP - Okay my overseas trip is totally and utterly confirmed. I'm leaving around end of December (Christmas period) and staying till about..early February? I'm definitely staying for Chinese New Year in Malaysia with all my relatives. The plan so far:

---------------------------------------------------------
Countries: Malaysia , Singapore and Taiwan (this still to be confirmed)
Length: 1.5months around
Order of countries: So far it's lookign to be KL --> sg --> penang --> KL --> taiwan --> KL --> sydney.
Basically, KL is my base and everything else stems off it. I'll be going in week-long blocks probably, except for the KL trip after penang. That shouldn't be more than a day or two before I head to Taiwan.
---------------------------------------------------------
Anyone in msia / sg wanna meet up? Let me know what day you're free and we'll hang out. Treats are on me =D Just don't go blowing my money and spending like..a bazillion dollars!

As I always say, keep you all posted on the details

Ahh life is looking good. Cannot wait to get more things to do in the future =]

NEW BoA CALENDAR ARRIVED

MOOD: HAPPY HAPPY!
MUSIC: BoA - EAT YOU UP

Ohh and just one more thing, new BoA calendar finally arrived. Bought some stuff off yesasia with my friend and he gave me the calendar today that arrived at his house last week. Haha basically, these calendars aren't meant for any purposeful use. Essentially, it's just posters with numbers on them! Haha here's a few snaps

The curly-hair look is really different. Not quite used to it. But hey, it's BoA. What's there to complain? =p

2008-10-20T13:55:00.001+11:00

ENGLISH IS OVER!!

Okay even though I said I wouldn't post till next month, i really COULD NOT help myself.
My most hated subject (probably because it's the most tedious, and somehow, the effort you put in doesnt always equal the marks that come out) is finally...yeh, FINISHED!

I just literally came out of that exam hall screaming, along with a whole bunch of us that finish it too. Seriously, we're all so happy it's over. Now we can concentrate on subjects that MAKE SENSE, and actually are really enjoyable to study!

So yeah, that's my rant for the day. Next exam's in a week. I have a few days to party, then it's back to hitting the books and doing nothing but past year's math papers for a week. And believe me, compared to english, I'd gladly sit down for 5hrs and do maths rather than english

Countdown: 4 EXAMS LEFT and only 17 days to go. It's just a waiting game now

2008-10-14T23:28:00.003+11:00

GOODBYE FOR A MONTH

Well everyone, this is it. The final set of exams of high school. I'm going to seriously put my heart and soul into this last month and WORK WORK WORK for it. Enjoy it while it lasts (yes even exams believe it or not lol). Probably won't be blogging for this next month, and next post will be me going CRAZY after the 6th of November Chemistry exam. Ohh I'll probably just drop by, go asl;kjfl;askjflas;djf and then run off and party with friends that afternoon ahaha!

Timetable:
~~Friday 17th October: English Paper 1 (9.20am-11.30am) + Japanese Continuers(2.00pm - 5.00pm)~~

~~Monday 20th October: English Paper 2 (9.25 - 11.30am)~~

~~Monday 27th October~~: Mathematics Extension 2 (9.25am - 12.30pm)

~~Wednesday 29th October: Mathematics Extension 1 (9.25am - 11.30am)~~

Tuesday 4th November: Physics (9.25am - 12.30pm)

Thursday 6th November: Chemistry (9.25am - 12.30pm)

PARTY AFTER!!!!!!!!

The timetable is seriously nicely spread out. Subjects are pushed together (maths together, sciences together) in almost consecutive days with whole weeks off to prepare for the next. I really love this timetable =)

Wish me the best! I'll see you all, hopefully, in a month !
To those taking the HSC ~ study hard. Work for it. Give it everything you got because this won't come again. Cliche'd but so true - your future depends on this.

SEVEN DAYS

MOOD: "can't wait til its over". other than that, v. happy ~ ^_^
MUSIC: yu yamada - cosmic ride // younha - telepathy

Ah, its just totally sunk in. HSC starts in 7 days. The last set of high-school exams.EVER. It's so exciting, yet at the same time, so so scary. After this, I can REALLY say that my high-school days are over. These last 2 years of high-school, all leading to these final set of exams to conclude on the 6th November. EXCITING MAN. =) I remember blogging MONTHS ago about 6th November, these set of exams and stressing about them ahaha. Yet now, I'm somehow, so at peace? Complacency kicking in? HAHA crap!

Hmm, I think what's making my mood today is younha's telepathy MV. Saw it this morning and oh my gosh, it is so uber cute ahahaha.

Compare this to back when younha just started off, her famous HOUKIBOSHI:

You really can tell the difference. She's matured, gotten a sexier image and made herself seem so much more outgoing. Really contrasts to her shy, innocent image she started with. I reckon its a change for the better. But hey, sexy is almost always better eh? =P ask any guy ahaha

Same routine today really. Wake up late, eat, stay around, study a bit. Ohh actually...

Went to optometrist today. Have no idea why. Mum dragged me along haha, so went there. Got a new pair of "slip-on" sunglasses? They're sunglasses that go over your existing ones (weird huh). To be honest they don't look that great lol, mum just wants me to wear them when I drive (fair enough!). $70 pahhh. I didn't even ask for them, but ohh well, I guess I'm not complaining. =P

Hmm, had an interesting talk with the kid's mum that I tutored today. She was like "ohh James has started showing a big improvement all thanks to you!"
Ahahaa and on the inside I'm like "...please don't flatter me T_T" but yehh, she was really happy, so I guess I was happy too. I mean, he's improving, I'm getting paid, she's happy. Everyone's happy. Win-win situation. But ahaha omgawsh the flattery was a tad too much =( But the satisfaction pays off in the end aye?

OHH I FINALLY GOT MY Ps YESTERDAY. After the 3rd attempt, I finally managed to pass that damn driving licence! Ahaha, now I can finally drive on my own. But my parents keep telling me "NO DRIVING TILL AFTER HSC". They just don't want me to crash and die before my final set of exams......ahaha....=(

Anyway, relatively average day, but I did find something interesting.

QUIET REFLECTION

MOOD: quiet, peaceful
MUSIC: DBSK - you're my melody

Started writing this at 12:48pm after my net got cut on a Tues night / early Wed morning. Hmm, I don't know. I feel quite at peace right now. It's hard to describe. It's like there's no stress on me, even though I see the terror of exams coming up. But somehow this whole day, despite studying, really didn't feel like much. I think I've been in a daze most of today.

So then, decided to sit back, and look at where I'm at, where I want to go, who I want to be. And really, it's all sort of just struck me. I have short-term goals, but my long term goals..they don't seem to be there. And I think that only now, after high school has finished that this has really stood out for me. Before I used to live every day saying "I can't wait til this is all over. Can't wait to go to uni etc etc". And then you look at it, and they're all so short term. Okay lets look at the realistic list that pops to my head:

- finish the HSC. Short-term. Fair enough, what must be done MUST be done =D
- go on holiday. Been planning this for like, a year now. Haha this too is short-term
- join dance classes. Haha this is on impulse.
- get the uni course I want. Once again, it seems short-term!
- finish the degree. Okay this is fairly long term. Considering medicine is like, a LONG program, building up to at least 7-8years++

But then the list ends there. And when I say long-term, I'm talking WAY in the future. This is like, when you want to settle down, start working. At THAT age.

And so I ask myself. Is it realistic to have such goals so soon? Is that distant dream supposed to be clear-cut in your mind?
So I asked myself "what do you want to happen in your life? what do you want to achieve?". And really, I think I'm stumbling on that question. Sure my intentions for medicine are great - I genuinely do want to give it my all, give back to the people. But is that it?

- marriage
- family
- stable job that helps people
- living in a nice house

Is that all there is? It seems rather dull no..? Maybe that's all we're supposed to do haha.
LOL gosh I sound emo, but I'm not actually. Just call it, inquisitive thinking and reflection.

I think what I'm trying to get here, is that people set so many short-term goals that sometimes they miss the big picture - the big fish in the sea. And to me, now that I sorta am looking at this big picture, I'm not envisioning it as something "flash-hot". And really, that's crucial. You look at the list comparison and you see straight away, the short-terms are so well planned. The long terms..all distant. Realistically, sure, they cant be too detailed too soon. But I feel they're LACKING substance somewhat. =x

Bah it's confusing =/ I feel I'm missing someTHING or someONE but I don't know what it is? I want fun and relaxation in life, but I also want to make the most of it.
And here's the thing, when I try and make the most of it and get involved in lots of things, at times I might turn complacent or lazy and do a half-assed job of it. Sorta get me? Torn between two things hahaha ~~

Or then again, maybe it's just me needing some sleep =p
Ahh I don't know ^^; Just my two cents for the night.

On a lighter note, Karen if you're reading this. STOP HAUNTING ME! LOL =p you know what I mean haha

ANOTHER LAZY DAY

MOOD: Happy and at peace =)
MUSIC: ne-yo - because of you // DBSK - mirotic // savage garden - to the moon and back

Just typing this out while I'm typing up all my practicals that I've done for physics. Haha study can be a bore. And I get so distracted so easily! =( Can't focus on something for too long, which really, is one of my weaknesses. Got to work on it haha..

Don't really plan anything much at all today. Just as the title says, another lazy day in, study. Relax. Actually, I finally picked up a book again and started reading. The first time I've voluntarily read something in like, so many months. Seriously ahaha, reading can be fun if you find the right book. And I'm lucky enough to have found one!

BOB EISLER - HARD RAIN (2002)

Plot (http://barryeisler.com/hardrain.php):
In Hard Rain (Blood from Blood, UK), the lethal assassin John Rain is back. Rain—half-Japanese, half-American, raised in both countries but at home in neither—is trying to leave his life as a freelance assassin, but no one will let him just retire. With his military discipline and martial arts skills, and his talent for making death appear to have been of “natural causes,” he is both a potential asset—and a threat—to everyone.

After killing a CIA officer who had hunted him halfway around the globe, Rain plans his own disappearance, hoping to find the peace that has eluded him. But then his old nemesis from the Japanese FBI comes to him with one last “favor:” find and eliminate a killer at large, a creature without compassion or conscience.

It’s soon clear that it’s not just Japan’s fragile balance of political power that’s threatened, but also the lives of Rain’s few friends, including that of a love from his past. To protect them, Rain must pursue his lethal quarry into the heart of a war between the CIA and the Japanese mafia, where the distinctions between friend and foe and truth and deceit are as murky as the rain-slicked streets of Tokyo.

It's really quite a good book so far. Only 1/3 through and I've really enjoyed it. Thing is, its the 2nd book in a series. But you can't tell really, cause it fills in alot of gaps for you. I love this sorta thriller genre. =]
Actually I also found out the first book in the series (Rain Fall) is being made into a blockbuster movie, expected release in April 2009. I'm looking forward to it!

Haha started playin audition again today, after like, a 1month hiatus. Oh man, it feels so strange to get back to what started it all, but hey, it's tres fun. After HSC, start some serious gaming la!

On an entirely different note, started getting into a new singer. Presentiiiinggg:

> Yu Yamada (山田優)
She debuted around 2006? I never actually gave her single a shot, cause when it comes to new artists, I like getting recommended them rather than going out and hunting for new singers ahaha. But man, she's not too bad. Very much your typical j-popper. Alot of techno-ish / poppy beats.

Her debut single: REAL YOU

Okay I'll admit she's not the best looker when it comes to photos

But I reckon she looks really good in the MV!

Currently downloading her album. Her music..very reminiscent of Ayumi Hamasaki somewhat. All the electronica. And her dancing isnt' bad. For once, a female jap singer with decent dancing! Hahaha, but seriously, when it comes to asian dancers, the girl that tops the cake for me is Hyori Lee.

Hyori Lee - Shall we Dance

I seriously, have only one thing to say to that

OMFG THAT IS SO HOT XD

2008-10-03T23:19:00.003+10:00

WHY IS IT SO HOT?!

MOOD: dying from the heat
MUSIC: mariah carey - we belong together

[ LOL this is carried over from yesterday cause i forgot to actually publish the post ^^; ]

Man, first thing I noticed this morning was the STINKING HEAT. Holy moooly, tops of 35 degrees today. How can anyone survive the blistering heat..seriously haha. But yeah, woke up and was like "shit...no way..."

Didn't really do much at all. Just spent time in Macquarie library studying with Sean + Cilinia. We managed to work for about 2hrs, then well, everything sorta collapsed from there. Walked around the huge huge library a bit, saw people here and there ahahaha. Ended up gettin a lift home in Sarav's car. ahaha funny thing, as he's driving, looks at us and he's like

"Shit i'm getting low on petrol. Turn the air-con off!! We needa conserve petrol"

HAHA GREAT. Hot day + sun right above us + no aircon + traffic jam = die....T_T Though I managed to get home in one piece, without gettin cooked like a cookie. =p Still, wasn't too pleasant ahaha ~~

Webcammed with yee-yee for the first time yesterday too. Midway through she got a fever and headache and had to run off lmao. aish maan, your eating habits =/

Anyway overall, dull day =( Just study, study and well..more study

OHH but I'm watching crows ZERO right now. Funky movie. I saw 1hr of it before bed. Lots of violence, lots of just people beating each other up for the sake of it ahaha.

Plot (wikipedia):
The film centers around the character Genji Takaya (Shun Oguri), a newcomer to Suzuran High School who aims to 'conquer' Suzuran. Genji makes a deal with his father, Hideo Takitani (Goro Kishitani). If he can conquer the school, he will be allowed to succeed his father as the head of his yakuza syndicate.

Funky movie. Only for those who really enjoy a little violence to spice up your life. Ahaha the funny thing is, technically all the characters are school students ie 16-18yrs old....RIGHT, SURE. Just lookin at the characters, they totally look 18 to me =p

MED INTERVIEWS!

MOOD: Really really tired =o
MUSIC: wonder girls - NOBODY

Wow today was the big day. Med interviews, seriously, crazy. Everyone told me it was really relaxing when you get in there, cause both the interviewers are really nice and relaxed and all. Well, I called Peter last night, and he was like "BREATHE BREATHE RELAX. they're really friendly and nice". Well, he'd already had his interview, so of course he was relaxed. Me...edgy but calm at the same time. *i think i'm bipolar LOL*

See thats the thing that keeps running through your mind. If it's so easy, and everyone's so relaxed, how do they pick the 200~ or so people from the 500 being interviewed? There must be something behind the scenes making it hard. 'cause seriously, everyone I've talked to so far have said their interview went really smoothly and the interviewers didn't look unimpressed or anything. Scary huh? =(

But either way, woke up super early, changed and was like, out the door. Got there around..10:20ish? (ahaha 40mins early! well as they say, better early than late) Whole bunch of us picked the same time to do interview. seriously, it was crazy.
Me, Nathan, Justin, Kerry, Caroline, Grace, Shirley, Jaemin. Then in the later sessions, Diana and Deb (NSG), Eddie Chan and Esther. Ahahaha Thursday. Must be their lucky day =pp

No unexpected questions. Nothing out of the blue. All the stuff I was expecting. Hobbies, interests. Then focus on your early childhood [ primary especially ], friends, family and finally the all important rationale for doing medicine in UNSW. Haha ~ Well seriously, with interviews, you really can't gauge how you went. Cause theres so many people out there all fighting for the same thing as you. I came out somewhat confident, but I think this confidence sorta died quickly and it became very "meh". Happy with it, but at the same time, terrified. Make sense somewhat? =/

Ahh I think it's the weather today. Been seriously ridiculously so so hot. What, 33 degrees today? I'm really feeling it. Felt so tired after the interview, like all the energy just drained. Might get an early night tonight, and then start the all important STUDY STUDY FOR HSC. LOL probably the only thing on people's minds right now. STUDY. Can't wait for it to all be over (probably said this 50 billion times now ahaha)

On a lighter note, ZOMG wonder girls! ARGH their song is like, embedded in my head. Sent it to brenda, who's an avid wonder girls fan, and she was like "OMG I HATE YOU. THIS SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD" ahahaha ~ well hypnotic beats are her style, so it wasn't hard. Ahahaha =]

And I finished 「last friends」 last night. I must admit, the drama's quite interesting, despite massive sections of "OMG UNREALISTIC". Ahh but then again, that's jap drama for you =p Now I needa watch another one. There has been one that looks interesting. 「pride」. Another jap one. Well, I'll keep you all informed on how it is =p

ITS BEEN A WEEK

MOOD: All good ~ =)
MUSIC: MIROTIC _ DBSK

Wow it's been a week since I last blogged. Guess I've been slacking off just a tad too much ahaha. Oh well, time to get it back on track!

Well, after a very interesting (partly emotional, partly pure fun fun fun) week, it's now the start of the hectic 3 week leadup towards the final exam..the HSC T_T Gosh, everyone's getting so serious now. STUDY STUDY STUDY is basically on everyone's mind. Should be on mine too right..? I guess I'm slacking a tad too much. Well, I did a fair amount for the last few days. But today..seriously, couldn't be bothered at all ahaha.

I got bigger fish to fry anyway eg. medicine interview on the 2nd october, 11AM. THAT is the big fish to fry.
Basically, it's been alot of soul searching these last few days. Getting my mind straight, knowing what I want to say, what not to say. Confidence building, practice practice practice. That's the thing about interviews, you needa sell yourself but not sound arrogant. It's finding that mix of genuine interest, charisma, confidence and sincerity that attracts the attention of the interviewer. SOUNDS easy right? hah..sounds easy..in reality, alot harder. But then, some people have the knack of it. Natural talent at speaking. They don't stress, they don't feel nervous. To them, its just an interview.. Wish I had that sorta mentality and confidence. It would seriously help..

Yesterday, spent like..5hrs at Macq Uni library? Haha was productive for the first two hours. Then just happened to bump into some friends..and everything went downhill from there. I have no idea what we did in those last 3hrs, but before I knew it, it was 5pm and we were all being shoo-d out of the library. HAHA. Lesson learnt? Study in library works. But once you add the wrong people into the mix...EPIC FAIL

Okay onto more important news. DBSK's new album AHAHA. Okaay I must admit I sound a tad gay suddenly talking about their album. But seriously, its about TIME they came back to their korean fanbase and started releasing korean stuff again.

MIROTIC IS JUST FREAKIN AWESOME ~~ All of you have to listen to it ahaha. I really like the song. But Micky needs a haircut. I hate his hair = =

Ohh well, must go buy the album people! It's worth it ~ =]

We've finally come to the end of the road

This is it. The 6years have been reduced to 3 days

Monday - graduation assembly
Tuesday - luncheon
Wednesday - beach party

It's my last chance to say my goodbyes. Close my loose ends. Wish well those that I know I won't see until our 10 year reunion. I think it's slowly starting to sink in. The last week has been a daze, and it really never sunk in for me. But tonight, as I listen to this song, I only now realise it. =( It's sad aye? The end of a road, the start of a new one. I should be happy, I am happy. But it's all nostalgic you know. Bitter-sweet

Some of the lyrics that have stirred up alot in me lol ~ ='(

MARIAH CAREY - always be my baby
you'll always be a part of me
i'm a part of you indefinitely
boy don't you know you can't escape me
ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
and we'll linger on
time can't erase a feeling this strong
no way you're never gonna shake me
ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know it's a love song, but I dno why. The lyrics..lol..

VITAMIN C - friends forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

Yes cliche, but it still IS good.

AVRIL LAVIGNE - when you're gone
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

Ahaha I think I'm too emo tonight. I'll be okay tomorrow hopefully. =]

3 DAYS LEFT

MOOD: nostalgia x happy x sad -- mixed emotions
MUSIC: steps - 5, 6, 7, 8 + kyla - if i were you [ talk about mixed song genres! ]

The days continue to tick and tick. Can't believe it's already almost half-way through the week! It's so ironic how the days you want to slow down seem to pass so quickly aye? 懐かしい。。(nostalgic)

Monday
Was relatively uneventful and unproductive! ARGH! Should have done a bit of study, but...didn't do any at all. Instead, just dance-practice in the morning, recess and lunch. We need to perfect this routine..seriously. Next monday = last ever performance with this group. We HAVE to make this really good, finish off with a bang. Leave a lasting impression and a new benchmark =p

Alot more memory-book signing, leaving messages for people. Kerry took my book, and today she gave it back, and she STILL hadn't finished writing in it! Omgawsh Kerry =pp Terrible. Leave it with you the whole night and you didn't get it done! Ahaha jokes jokes. It's cool

Haha my boss called me around 8pm and was like "Jim jim can you work tomorrow for an hour? 5-6pm??" She sounded like she was in a frenzy so I couldnt' say no haha. But it's all good either way. $20 for one hour's work. Easy money too! Let's see...convert that to other currencies: RM60+ or SGD$23.60. Not bad right? haha ~~

Ohh actually, Eunice from sg called me that day. She's in Sydney for a day or two before she heads back to Melb and flies back to sg. The first thing she asked me when she called me (cause I'm basically tour-guiding her through the phone, telling her what to see, what to avoid)

Eunice: "Hey jim jim. Should I go Kings Cross?" (Kings cross = red light district...)
Me: "....HUH? Kings cross? You know what's in Kings Cross right?"
Eunice: "Uhh..it's a red light district right?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Eunice: "Ohhh...so I shouldn't go right?"
Me: "....(isn't it obvious...)...."

Later she calls me again,
Eunice: "Ohh, my family and I ended up goin to Kings Cross anyway"
Me: "WHAT?! You and your family?! LOL"
Eunice: "You know what...we all went into one of the clubs...(at this point im thinking WTFFF. with the family?!)...the chicks there...one of them was really fat..."

Me = speechless. I mean...fair enough, since you're in Sydney you might as well take in ALL the sights, especially if you've never been before. But LOL. Family outing to A CLUB IN RED LIGHT DISTRICT?!?! AHAHAHA ohh man, your parents are really relaxed and open about this sorta stuff Eunice. CRAZY. I just hope nothing weird happened =p

Tuesday
Awards day was so boring. Just sitting there in the assembly watching people get awards for a few hours =( I mean, yeah, it's really awesome that they've all gotten awards - they thoroughly deserve it, but it needed more entertainment! Ahaha ohh well, it was still good overall. =D

Once again today was more dance practice, dance practice and you guessed it, ダンスの練習だ。 =p The sync'ing is finally starting to take shape, and the damn hard ne-yo choreography is starting to look so damn sexy ~~ xD Hope to perfect it tomorrow! I WILL perfect it haha!

Ahh bit tired to blog anymore. Just finished another hectic workout. My arms and legs are killing me =(

UNINTERESTING DAY

MOOD: Bored, bit lazy.. =x
MUSIC: younha - 고백하기 좋은 날

First thing I noticed this morning was the extreme humidity. Ohh man, felt so sweaty just getting out of bed. Even though it's only been 2 weeks into Spring, it really does feel like Summer. Yesterday itself was damn hot ~~ 31-32 degrees? Apparently the hottest day of 2008 so far..but that doesn't sound right. I swear Jan / Feb had quite a few hot days. Hmm.. =/

Guan today was rather uneventful. Just the usual maths + crapping around in class here and there. hahaha ~~

Actually, was supposed to meet up with Connie down the street, but she was busy and all. Ohh well. Ended up staying at home and reading Black Cat manga which I found on my brother's desk ^^; It's quite interesting. Very much his style - lots of action and violence LMAO. Well, what do you expect from a 14yr old haha =p

Yee-yee sms'd me today for the first time in like..ages. Haven't kept in touch with her cause of her end of semester exams. After her last exam this Friday, 3 week break, followed by another round of schooling + exams in December. Then it's off to Taiwan for a week for her. Ahaha wow so lucky la! Shoulda taken me with you. As for your exams, must jiayou okaay? x3

Was looking through my music again today, and found another really awesome younha song. Can't believe I overlooked it. It's a really nice, sweet ballad. Definitely worth the listen.

YOUNHA

6 DAYS LEFT.EVER.

The end of my high-school life is coming closer and closer, and the prospect of university lingers in the near future. And as I look back, I realise, these last 6yrs have been one hell of a ride. I was talking with my friend about it last night, and she agrees with me. It all seems to have come so soon. Just a click ago I remember being in yr7, coming fresh out of primary to enter, what I believed, to be a place for new journeys. And now I look and realise...6 years have gone in a flash.

The last day of school, 19th September, followed by the traditional Monday final assembly, Tuesday luncheon and Wednesday beach party will probably be the last time I see alot of my peers at school. After that, it's 3 weeks of hectic study, followed by the dreaded HSC uni entrance exams.

Remember the 6th of November? That date is approaching so fast, and that glimmer of freedom is slowly, slowly coming. But now that I look at it, freedom is bitter-sweet. ='( The prospects of uni is so awesome ~ yet synonymously, the reality that I won't see alot of my friends (ESPECIALLY the juniors ~ alot of whom I'm close friends with) on a regular basis is going to be...=(

But hey, I guess that's the way it is. Maybe I'm writing this while reflecting too much on the past 6yrs, looking at photos from yr7 all the way to now. I've seen the transformation in myself, in others, in the world around us. Aye ~~

Either way, these next few weeks, I'm going to cherish as much as I can. The final chance to truly close any loose ties and take with me fond memories of high school.

Ruse '08 ♥

USYD LIVE!

MOOD: Happy ~ ^_^
MUSIC: Hoshimura Mai - Melodea

Yesterday had University of Sydney [ Usyd ] open day for all prospective undergrad / postgrad students. Ahh it was really fun. Had to get forced out of bed that morning cause my stupid alarm didnt go off! Aish..next time must get more than one alarm otherwise useless la. Had to get my mum to wake me up. So naturally, had to rush and rush just to get out of the door on time.

Then when I got to Epping station, bloody long line at the ticket booth. Missed the train...T_T Saw Brian at the train-station. I actually only then found out..HE LIVES DOWN THE STREET FROM ME. Walao I never knew man. Holy moly...I know exactly what house he lives in haha. Then as I wait for next train, Kim comes along and goes

"HAHA. YOU MISSED YOUR TRAIN DIDNT YOU"

She knew I was taking the train before her, so when she saw me at station she had this big evil smile on her. Aiya, so evil ! We always tease / fight with each other. Ever since primary 5 we've been like that. Mutually agree to disagree [ of course all friendly ]. So naturally, started teasing her about her boyfriend thats shorter than her and all this and that. ahahahaha!!

Either way, met up with Peter later and three of us went USYD.

ZOMG, I saw half my grade there man. Every 5 mins must stop to say hello to someone. Soo many people I recognised. And so many I haven't seen in like, 6 years.

"OMG I haven't seen you in 6yrs! How're you?!"
"OMG you've gotten better looking since I last saw you" [ AHAHA ]

Ahh yeah, then midway through first lecture, Grace ends up ringing me and she's like "omg i'm here. where are yooou". Spent 5mins just guiding her through the place just to get to the lecture hall I was at (LMAO. she is TERRIBLE with directions x3)

Haha midway through the day she goes up to me and is like "omg man can't wait to pick up irene...my highlight of the day" (cause grace, irene and myself were going to hang around the whole day together) - and since grace and irene both went to same school a few years back, haven't seen each other in a while.

Aye, after a while, whole place got pretty boring. Seen it once, seen it all, after that see everything again - can make you blur man. Though there was some nice entertainment (gymnastics performance), and some..really weird ones; ie the kendo performance. All the guys were doing was flailing sticks around making weird and loud ape-like noises

"HYAAAAH! WOO HAAA!!" -wields kendo stick trying to whack the other person-
I swear I heard screams of "WALAO" somewhere amongst the torrent of incomprehensible noise. =P

Picked up a few people along the day - natalie, diana - so in the end, 6 of us went and crap around in the city. Omgawsh, I had the BEST CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE EVER.

LINDT CAFE = x33333333

Expensive yes, but their chocolate is like..the absolute best ever. $5 milkshake = mouth-watering. Anyone coming to Sydney? I'll be SURE to take you to the Lindt cafe. It is, unbelievably yummy =D All of us end up sitting at the harbour side just watching the sun slowly set (SOUNDS romantic..but it was anything but. too much noise, too many ferries, too many cars) and eat fish and chips.

On the way home..missed my train AGAIN. Natalie had to go buy her ticket..took her 3mins, missed the train and had to wait ANOTHER 20mins. After that, MISSED MY BUS HOME. Somemore FINAL BUS. What was even worse, when I tried calling parents to come pick me up from epping, PHONE RUNS OUT OF BATTERIES. Who in the world has such luck?!

Total tally:
MISSED TRAINS - 2
MISSED BUSES - 1
PHONE RUNS OUT OF BATTERIES

Ahh who cares, the day was awesome. Loved it either way.

HECTIC WEEKEND!

MOOD: it's so so cold T_T
MUSIC: flo-rida - in the ayer

Wow ALOT has happened just this weekend. So much ~~

FRIDAY
Okay technically doesn't count as a weekend I know. Either way, got home from school and mum's like "Don't eat anything!! Buffet tonight!" and I'm like O____O Ahahaha, aiyeer. Lucky I skipped lunch today and didn't really eat that much.

Our relatives from Canada came back from Cairns up north in Queensland so mum decided to go treat them buffet. Was looking through all their photos of the Great Barrier Reef - there was this turtle that was like, as big as a grown person. It was freaking HUMUNGOUS. Aish, they're so lucky. Went scuba-diving, sight-seeing, buy souvenirs. Also went to Fraser Island dammit! Lots of dingos there =O

Aye...buffet was gooooood. Seriously stuffed myself for like..an hour. Just sit there and EAT EAT EAT. Lucky already exercised earlier that day. Otherwise I'd have felt so so sick LOL.

Got home then skyped all night LOL. Needed to practice for a jap exam. So me and a friend just ended up talking in japanese the whole night ahahaha

SATURDAY
Had a HSC Jap Speaking exam in Parramatta High School. Had to wake up so early just to get to the place at 8:15am. If you came late..you'd get a zero for the exam =x They're seriously..so harsh.
Met up with the rest of the guys there, practice practice like crazy until we'd each get called up to an examination room and sit there with an examiner for 10mins and talk to them in Japanese lol. Most of it's based of certain topics eg. school, family, planning a trip, culture etc. Basically, examiner sits there with a tape recorder and asks you questions, and you just answer and talk as fluently as you can lol

Examiner: "doushite nihongo wo benkyou shite imasu ka?"

Me: "rokunen mae atarashii nihongo no ongaku wo kikihajimete sore kara itsumo nihon no kyoumi ga aru. sore de, watashi no nichiban suki na kashu wa..e tou..tabun utada hikaru to iu hito deshou"

Examiner: "eh?! utada hikaru san ga shitte deshou? sugoi" - gives wideeyed face -

LOL XD She sounded so shocked and gave me a puzzled face. Is it really that hard to believe? =O Ahh my examiner was cool though, she was really nice. Alot better than that other woman that was in the examination hall where we all gathered. She gave us instructions and looked cranky; like she hated her job or something. =P

Saw Kelvin from tutoring and his friend Erica (erika? not sure) at the exam. Didn't know he took my session. Erica is CRAZY at jap. Was giving her a random question to talk about and she talked and talked and TALKED so fluently. T__T crazy girl. Crapped around with them for a bit

Anyway after exam, crapped with friends at Parra. Then they went off to watch Dark Knight - I had to go tutoring, took bus to Epping.

Guess who I end up seeing on the same bus as me. KELVIN. The most ironic thing is, earlier on Thursday I met him randomly at the mall. Then today see him TWICE. Furthermore I have tutoring with him later that day, see him 3 TIMES.

Kelvin: "omg its you. stop stalking me man. it's creeping me out"

LOL. Wrong way around man, I think its you that keeps stalking ME.

Then it just gets crazier ~ at Epping, I end up seeing Joanna's mum. She's so so nice, so we ended up having a chat at the bus stop LOL. Last time when I went to Jo's house, talked with her for quite a while (Jo says I have an unusual knack of gettin along really well with people's parents ^^; She says me and di's dad also have a good bond. not entirely false, i've known di's dad for years now and he's seen me grow up LOL) So yeah, was good to catch up with her again.

Tutoring same old same old. Except OMG, something so weird. After tutoring, Kelvin's like
"ohh jim, erika wants your email. whats your email?"
And I'm thinking to myself "i barely talked to her...and she wants my email? O__O"

Kelvin's response after I give him a weird look: "she thinks you're a really nice guy. but dont think anything weird...i hope..."

Me: yeah....okay.

That "i hope" is a bit....O___O

Anyway, after that, go home and parents are like: STOP! Don't EAT! ITALIAN RESTAURANT TONIGHT

And I'm thinking to myself... "omg 2 nights in a row" HAHAHA. But seriously, the FOOD WAS SO NICE. ITALIAN FOOD IS AWESOME. Since Canadian relatives leaving on Sunday, had to give them a final goodbye dinner. I swear, another weird thing happened. Maybe I took it awkwardly, but yehhh. During dinner, Cassandra (one of the daughters of my canadian cousin) nudges me and slips a piece of paper in my hand. I open it up, her email's written on it. And then she like..gives me a quick glance and looks away. And I'm thinking to myself..."why make it seem so awkward..." Maybe she's shy LOL. But how can..that girl is so noisy and loud and crazy.

**** 2 people's emails in 1 day****

After THAAT like always, parents make unexpected plans. Ended up going to my aunt's house where they're staying.

THEIR DOG "CHEEKO" IS SO CUUUUTE ^____^ It's a...Terrier x Shi Tzu i think? OMG MAN I WANT A DOGGGG. Someone buy me a dog. =( All of us were playing with the dog. -wants a doooog-

Ohh got ang-pao from my relatives. $50! ^___^

Got home, went STRAIGHT TO BED after shower. Wanted to call DOLLY actually, but was too tired, and got home too late. Maybe another day.

Sunday
Got woken up to the noise of the doorbell playing some strange ring that my dad changed it to. Canadian relatives dropped by to say their final goodbyes before heading off. But man, coming at 8am in the morning when I'm dead asleep =( I was half woken, but by the time I fully woke up, already left. Aiyeeer, never fully got to say goodbye. Sad le

Apart from that, today been so-so.

---------------------------------
Olympic games closing ceremony today. The Olympics have been awesome. 16 days of sport, sport and more sport. It's the spirit of the Olympics that have really shone through. Not the golds silvers or bronzes, but the companionship, dedication and determination that each and every one of the athletes display.

It's never about the winning. It's about the attitude, the spirit, the whole feel of the games. Events like these only happen once every 4 years. And every 4 years the world stops to watch athletes from 200+ nations pour their hearts and souls into sports they have dedicated their lives to.

From the brilliance of the Opening Ceremony, to Michael Phelps' 8 gold medals, to watching China vs China in the final of the table tennis, the world has watched the 16 most exciting days of 2008 come and go in a flash. And only an hour or so from now, the Ceremony will commence to close another legacy in the Olympic Games

The tears, the joy, the pain, the triumph.

If there is anything to learn from this, it's that under the banner of sport, the conflict of nations breaks down. Under the banner of sport, nations stand as one in friendly rivalry. Under the banner of sport, we attempt to resolve the stifling issues that permeate the world, causing pain and suffering to others.

But most of all, the idealism the games uphold really can be summed up in its motto.

ONE WORLD. ONE DREAM

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!! (cont.)

MOOD: tired =( but ohh so happy ^^
MUSIC: Phantom of the Opera - Masquerade

OMG OMG OMG. Phantom of the Opera was SOOO GOOOD. Like omgoodness, after the show all of us were like "WOW LETS WATCH IT AGAIN".

The costumes, the lighting, the music, the SINGING, the acting...and most of all, the SETTING CHANGES were absolutely amazing. Scene changes were done in seconds and were done so so smoothly. From like, a dungeon scene with a makeshift RIVER (the river looked so so cool onstage) and candles to a bright scene in the manager's office etc etc. Some of the changes were absolutely crazy and so so well done.

Anthony Warlow was absolutely top-notch as the phantom. His vocal range is absolutely amazing. He can pull off tenor roles right up to mid to high alto roles so easily and so smoothly. His falsetto's...even more insane. And the girl playing Christine is absolutely amazing. Brilliant actor, brilliant singer.

The scene with the chandelier crashing...ohh man. The chandelier on the roof of the theatre actually crashed onto the stage as part of the show. It was so cool. And all the fire and lights and spectacles during the end of the Act I.

Gosh seriously...after the show we all just looked at each other and were like "holy sh*t that was so good". Haha Kim's response first thing after the show:

Kim: "I'm marrying Anthony Warlow. I don't care what anyone says!"

Hahaha, keep dreaming!
1. He's already married
2. He's 35yrs+ old
3. You've already GOT A BOYFRIEND!

=P

Ahh man, I was seriously so amazed (as you can probably tell from my incessant rambling LOL). I would DIE to see it again, seriooously. Someone give me $100 so I can go watch it again =(

Today at school, I asked Kim and others what they thought of last night:

Kim: "Last night I got home, and I pulled out my PotO soundtrack and just let it play all night. Today...those songs are STILL in my head"

Peter: "OMGAWD Jim. I wanna watch it again"

Nimashi: "oh.em.eff.gee...seriously."

Haha I think that says it all. Phantom of the opera..must watch musical. My most favourite musical of all time. It was seriously, THAT good

---------------------
On other news, some of the results came back =( So far so-so.
PHYS: 92 / 100 [ I think I can get 93..some weird marking error I think ] - top mark: 99
CHEM: 92 / 100 - top mark: 97

Both those should place me...top 15 in the grade? Dammit...top 15 only. Needa hit top 10 dammit... = =;;

My expectations for sciences were like..95++ for each test..but ARGH, this exam had the fussiest markers. Forget to mention dispersion forces = -1 mark. Didn't mention other keywords = minus marks. T__T

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

MOOD: tired but happy ~ ^__^
MUSIC: utada hikaru - prisoner of love

Wow these past few days have just been olympics, olympics, olympics. Most of my friends (including myself) are staying up till really late ~ around 2am every morning just to watch all the olympics. Ahaha, since it only comes once every 4 years it's well worth spending the time to watch. Kathy was telling me she kept kicking her sister off the TV so she could watch Olympics. Even the teachers are into the whole spirit of things. Was talking with Ms. Mason earlier today about the progress of the Australian team. But seriously, Australia is going downhill from here.

Since the departure of Ian Thorpe and various other athletes, our quality of performance seriously hasn't been up to scratch. Especially in the pool. Kudos to Hackett and Sullivan for taking silvers, but alot of high hopes (especially YOU Sullivan) were on you both seemed really confident about taking the gold. China has been completely dominating, and even the Brits have been improving. But Australia man...= =;;

*stares at recent obesity crisis in australia and wonders if there's any connection*

---------------------------------------
OLYMPICS UPDATE
- China completely and UTTERLY demolished Germany in the men's team finals of table tennis. I mean seriously..who in the world honestly thinks that Germany would have won? =p

- Liu Xiang! OMG maaan, that was so so sad...seriously. T_T All the hopes and dreams of China were behind that guy and well..what can you say. Things happen and life goes on =(

- JAPAN WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL team are out! =( My gosh, I was following them so much. Kept track on their wins and losses. Ahhh...but then again, they were versing Brazil, the #1 team in the world, after all. Brazil have not lost a single set since the Olympics began. So I guess the fact that Japan almost took out a set is huge credit to them.
pssst..Saori, their spiker, is pretty =O

---------------------------------------

Ohh, I'm going to see PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tomorrow! Seriously, so so excited. A group of 20 of us are going tomorrow night to Lyric Theatre in Star City Casino to watch the performance. The show's been running for more than a year now. It was supposed to finish around late last year, but due to its HUGE HUGE popularity both in Australia and worldwide, they've decided to extend their performances til mid September. I asked my friends who'd seen it already, this is their responses LOL

Naomi: "OMG. SERIOUSLY go watch it! It is SO SO GOOD"
Kerry: "About time Jim! I keep telling you to go watch!"
Caroline: "You will remember it for years I promise you =)"
Ringo: "DUDE TAKE ME WITH YOU. I wanna watch it again" (ROFLMAO)
Grace: "JIM! You're lucky! Poo you =[ " [ via sms lmao ]

---> CLICK ME TO CHECK OUT THE MUSICAL <---

I watched the movie long time ago when a version of it came out. You can tell why it's the most famous and well known musical of all time, it is simply BRILLIANT. So so excited, can't wait til tomorrow! Hopefully Anthony Warlow will play the phantom. He MUST PLAY THE PHANTOM. If not, won't be as good if they used his understudy to perform. Warlow..so good =D

ENGLISH AFTER EXAMS?!

MOOD: okay la ^__^
MUSIC: United Jazzy - the First Night

Went out to dinner yesterday to celebrate brother's birthday. Turning 14 tomorrow, so we decided to celebrate on the weekend instead since tomorrow's school. Wow man, the place we went to, Ribs and Rumps, is like, char grill meat restaurant franchise from America. It was recommended by a friend cause they said the food was REALLY good and the servings were HUGE.

I should have listened to him.

The price was super super expensive, but OMGAWD THE SERVINGS WERE HUMUNGOUS. For $35, get half a char grill chicken, 1 rack of pork ribs, potatoes, vegies, sour cream etc etc. HALF A CHICKEN is ALOT maaan. After the meal, entire family just looked at each other and were like "yeah..we're skipping breakfast tomorrow". Haha omg, I'm definitely going back there again. Food so nice, but sooo much food. Have to make sure to starve myself throughout the day so I can stuff all that chicken down T_T

--------------------------------------

Today there was University of Western Sydney (UWS) Open Day to see the campus and get information on the courses there. The medicine course looks really good!! =O But one thing I always complain about UWS is the distance. SO FAR away from my house, it'd take me AGES to get there. Wake up 6am just to get to campus at 8am for morning lecture. But their course structure really interesting:

WEEKLY STRUCTURE
- problem based learning (PBL): They give you a problem / scenario on Monday and you get in a group, analyse it and find the best way to solve the issue and present to everyone on Friday. This is done EVERY week.

- one half day clinical work at local hospital. This turns more specialised in 4th year where you go to specialist hospitals (children's hospital, gynacology, psychology etc etc)

- 3-4 lectures a week: This is your standard lecture

I really wouldn't mind going there, but it's the location that really turns me off. I'd rather go UNSW medicine course, cause the place is so much cooler.

Saw Nathan and Jessie at the uni. They were both getting some special awards for being like..the most outstanding students in the entirety of Western Sydney (THATS CRAZY!! They pick like, 2-3 students out of the 20,000 - 30,000 students each year). ZOMG congrats!!

And man, school is ridiculous. Got English speech due tomorrow addressing module C. Like, what school sets an assignment due the first day AFTER the worst exams of our lives T__T So unfair..ahh well

------------------------------------
OLYMPICS UPDATE
- Mum told me msia's in the finals for BADMINTON. I think they're versing china. GO GO LEE CHONG WEI!! JIYAOUUU

- SOO much drama in today's gymnastics events. Like, 3 people fell on the floor routine, instantly ruling them out of the gold medal. Furthermore, 2/3 of them were HUGE FAVOURITES for the gold. Then after that, the women's vault. China's CHENG Fei, huge favourite to win, fell on her second vault T__T Avg score: 15.562. Giving her the bronze medal. Considering her first attempt was a 16.075, which completely topped EVERYONE, if she'd hit an average 15.6/15.7 on her second she'd have been guaranteed gold =( Ohh well...

THE DARK KNIGHT

This movie is so awesome ~ Just got home after watching it. Went to meet up with Jaemin around 2:15 then had to wait till the other people doing economics exam finished so we could pick them up and go Macquarie.

Haha, crapped around at Macquarie, ate, went shop a bit (Jaemin found a new love for sunglasses LOL), then as we headed to the cinema complex we saw like, 16 HUGE SCREENS all showing the Olympics. So we ended up sitting there along with like, 10 other people and ended up watching gymnastics. OMG Yang YiLin lost!! She should have gotten the gold man! We were all going for China and then....the Americans won. CHAM la. China deserves it so much more.

Anyway, after that we all suddenly didn't want to go watch movie, instead just sit there and watch Olympics haha. But then since we already paid for ticket, we had to go, so off we went!

-----------------------------------------
OMG DARK KNIGHT IS SO GOOD!!

Must watch it man. Seriously, all the hype about the movie is so true. It really is that good. Heath Ledger as the Joker really is a good matchup. He plays the role so well, and truly is a scary character. We'll all remember Ledger, despite his untimely death, not because of his other roles in movies, but because of his performance as The Joker
-----------------------------------------

After that, went back to Epping to drop Vivo off. As we got off the bus, she keeps telling us "aye no need to walk me home, I can walk home". But yeah, didn't feel safe about that, so as she left to walk home, Jaemin and I both look at each other and we're like "let's stalk her" LOL!! Jaemin, you put it so badlyyy. So then we keep our distance for like a few mins then she turns around and spots us and she's like

"OMG YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ME ALL ALONG?!"
I swear for a moment she looked terrified ^^;

Hahaha ~ so yeah we walked her to her place and then went back home.

Ahhh was fun maaan. Dark Knight is SO GOOOOD =DD

EXAMS OVER~!!!!!

OMGAWD I feel so so good. It's been two weeks of hell and I can finally say it's all over! ^___^ So so excited, couldn't help but rant in my blog LOL

Heading off soon to Macquarie Centre to watch Dark Knight with Jaemin and Vivo. It's gonna be so awesome. And tomorrow off to dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday. Then after that, have to start following up on all those promises to my friends. Lots of fun fun outings!!

Life STARTS

LAST FRIENDS

Started watching a new drama today ~ My friend recommended it to me and said it was really good. Unlike the typical love/comedy drama, this one's alot deeper and darker.

Extract of overview from d-addicts wikipedia:

Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru's mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life.

I've just seen the first episode and it looks quite promising. Though the domestic violence development seemed waaay too quick. One day after she moves in with her boyfriend and she starts getting abused? A bit quick..=x But overall the series looks really interesting.

HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WHILE

MOOD: happy that it's almost at an end
MUSIC: ron pope - a drop in the ocean

Haha, finally had the time to sit down and blog. Man, with all the exams, feels good to start blogging again now that it's all almost over.

ONLY 3 MORE MONTHS TILL HIGHSCHOOL ENDS

Part of me can't wait. The other part of me feels really sad to leave behind a place I've lived and grown from for 6 years =( Unlike other people I know who really haven't enjoyed school that much, I reckon it's been awesome. Probably 'cause they don't make the most of it. Gotta find and enjoy all it has to offer. And I know all the sg'ers/msians I know detest school or find it boring. =P

EXAMS WERE SHOCKINGLY BORING AND BAD

1. ENGLISH - English is always the worst and most feared exam by everyone. When you start your exam week with English, you do nothing BUT study for it. 2 papers spread over 2 days. 4 essays, 1 creative writing and an unseen text comprehension task. Funny thing was, I had my creative writing all prepared in my head, but when I sat down and started exam and looked at the creative writing, I realised...I NEEDED A NAME FOR MY CHARACTER! Haha, so I just sit there, and think of the first name that comes to my head. Funnily enough, guess who's name comes to my head..? SOPHIA aka CICAK-MAN aka SOAPY aka SOAP. I ended up writing my character based on you la soapie x3

2. MATHS EXTENSION II - OMFG. This exam was just hell. It was the hardest exam they'd put in the last 10 years. Even though you had 3 hours to finish 120 marks, it was HARD. All previous exam paper practices I've done, been able to finish in 1.5-2hrs with 1 hour of solid checking. But this time, even with the 3 hours, ALOT of people left out like 10-20 marks cause it was REALLY that hard. Luckily this is all relative to everyone else in your grade, and since EVERYONE found it hard, I should do okay =x My dreams of top 10 in maths extII don't look too prominent. I might squeeze top 25 =(

3. CHEMISTRY - I love chemistry. Was so easy and so fun ^.^

4. PHYSICS - Another really easy test. I've been studyin like crazy for this, so hopefully my marks will get up there. =D

5. MATHS EXTENSION I - Okay, after that last maths exam I was truly scared incase they pulled off a really hard test. LUCKILY, test was EASY EASY! Lost about..4marks, 5 marks at most out of 100? XD That's excluding careless mistakes. And knowing me, careless mistakes pile on. Haha ~~

Tomorrow I have Jap-speaking left, and after that, PARTY PARTY PARTY!!! After these set of exams, the next one is the final ones in mid-October to early November.

NOVEMBER 6th HAS NEVER LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL ^__^

All the days I didn't have exams in these 2 weeks, just stayed at home and studied / audi'd / watched Olympics.

Olympics have been awesome. China is totally and utterly demolishing the competition. But once the track-and-field events start, I sense America's going to charge back. Cause USA seriously DOMINATE the track and field. =(

JIAYOU CHINA!!!

As for MSIA vs SG. We all know msia's gonna beat sg. wakakaka ~~

I just realised, after these exams, got so many plans with friends.

x "date" with vicky jie jie to go shopping
x formal shopping with jenni
x karaoke with grace (this girl is damn chio ^^;) and the NSG gang
x DARK KNIGHT with edward
x hang at nic's house, play his new PS3!!
x meet up with didi musume-chan and beidi (haven't talked to her in 2wks cause she purposely doesnt talk to me during exam time. she wants me to "concentrate on exams" T_T)

Going to be a poor poor man after all those outings haha.

Ahhh. It's going to be fuuuuun ~~

UMAT EXAM IN 3 DAYS

UMAT = Undergraduate Medicine Admissions Test

This will be the single biggest exam I take all year. This is even worse than my HSC exams in October to determine my UAI and rankings and all this and that.

UMAT's basically an aptitude test to determine if you have the mind to be a doctor. It's split into 3 sections:
- Section One : Logical Reasoning and problem solving (THE HARDEST)
- Section Two : Understanding people (my favourite)
- Section Three : Non Verbal Reasoning (very fun)

Tutoring for this is like..$400-500. It's really expensive..and the test itself, you have to pay $160 to SIT THE EXAM. And there's ALOT of competition. There's I think..700 people sitting it? I'm not too sure on the figures. So if you think about it, this is ALOT of money that they're making. Plus if you do well, you have to then go through an interview process. OMG, just to get into medicine..there's so much work needed...

And you need to do well in this. You can't "study" for this exam. All questions you've never seen before and you can't really prepare except PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

I'm so unbelievably stressed. I feel like everything's just crumbling aaargh..T_T Really..I'm so scared cause I have such high hopes. And if I don't do well in this, it instantly means no medicine = end of the road for my hopes and dreams..

SHIT MAN...='(

-sighs-

*prays that I can do well..*

2008-07-23T23:24:00.002+10:00

AHHHH!

Was talking to my friend in uni earlier today. He's doing medicine in melbourne and all this and that. Aiyoo, he was telling me how AWESOME the course is in melb =(!!

x get to dissect cadavers
x already learnt how to remove appendicies, knee aspirations
x the morals / ethics behind doctor decisions
x case studies of patients and considering physiological / psychological / social aspects
x biochemistry

AAARGH! He's made me so excited about it >< He says its really really fun, and I really really cannot wait to start. But first..must study hard to get into the course. Ahhh!

But hey, I think today, I've finally picked a one-true motivation to study hard. The chance to be a future doctor / GP. All so enticing, all so fun =] Maybe later in life I can go to overseas countries and do humanitarian work. Work in third-world countries. Help the poor, the sick, the young. Give people a second chance at life. Stressful, but so so rewarding.

Maaan...but first, the big hurdle of exams. Doing subjects that are useless when doing medicine.

MATHEMATICS. Like seriously..Who's going to do anything related to mathematics in medicine T.T "oh wow..his heart is shaped like an ellipse..let's calculate the area...x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1...~__~"

ENGLISH. "Yeh, you have cancer sorry. Hate to break it to you like that. But I did read this really awesome book the other day. Heard of it? 1984 by George Orwell. I wrote a killer essay on it in yr12"

PHYSICS. "When you talked to me during our consultation, I noticed a bit of spit that flew out of your mouth. According to my calculations, its velocity was 5m/s at 30 degrees to the horizontal. Would you like me to calculate its greatest height and range?" .......

CHEMISTRY. okay. chemistry DOES have a purpose in medicine. Understandin radioactive isotopes for patient diagnosis and tratment and chemical reactions in the body. probably the ONLY subject that really really deserves any credit.

Aye..school T.T siao le..

new layout! ^_^

2008-07-22T22:20:00.004+10:00

MOOD: happy, contented =]
MUSIC: river flows in you _ yiruma (omg one of the best piano pieces ever)

Ahh like the new layout? xD Was playin FFX-2 again during the holiday, and found this really nice blogskin, so decided to put it back up. I really wish'd I could draw sometimes. Tried picking up drawing a long time ago, managed to get semi-decent, and then dropped it =(! Actually I've tried ALOT of things in the past few years, but only seriously kept a few

THINGS IVE TRIED
- basketball
- swimming
- tennis
- guitar
- piano
- dance
- singing
- drawing
- graphic design
- stockbroking (this was purely for fun, with very little money, but tried it...realised its not my thing. need to be watchful of the market everyday)

THINGS IVE KEPT
- basketball (just as a hobby ^^;)
- dance
- graphic design (as another hobby lol)

Wow ~~ look at the list and compare. Such a big difference LOL! Aye, but I enjoy the things I've kept. Really fun mah!

Anyway, school started again today. Gosh, seeing everyone again. Thing is, everyone's so so STRESSED because of the upcoming trial exams in 2wks time. Everyone's cramming like crazy, meaning I too have to study like siao. Aiyeer...-note to self: must jy!-

So many people with different hairstyles / new looks / new bags etc etc. It's always a fun time of the year, when a new term starts and everyone comes back and tells all their stories from the holidays...Hahaha, funny though, this time round

"I studied like crazy la..."

"I barely studied"

"I didn't go out!! STayed at home all the time. But I didn't study! OMG"

"Studied like hell for the first week. Second week...dont even ask me about what I did on the second wk T_T"

LOL, but the funniest one was from Janet. Janet is the queen of procrastination. Yet she does SO WELL in exams. She'll get stressed out 2 days before, cram like MAD, and ACE the exam. Really! I wish I had her skill. =( People like me, study hard hard hard, still don't get as high marks as her. She ar...really, natural talent..but anyway, what she said

Me: Janet janet, yasumi wa dou deshita? nani shita no? [ she does jap too - means "how was your holiday? what'd you do?" ]

Janet: OMG. I felt so hardworking in the first two days. I worked like crazy..but then after that, i didn't do ANYTHING. One day, I sat and watched 5 movies. FIVE! Omgawsh..and the thing was, the last two days i was REALLY REALLY angry at myself. Like, absolutely furious that I did absolutely NOTHING all holiday.

Me: Haha, I bet you used those last two days productively. Went and crammed like crazy..

Janet: Are you kidding me?! I just sat there and let myself be angry at myself! Like, RAWR!

HAHAHA janetto-chan x3 aye...I don't know how you do it la, but really, you are a one of a kind studier. So lazy, yet so good with results. =)

Was good to see everyone again~

x Chen and his non-stop antics. And him gettin abused, punched, or insulted [ all friendly ba ] all the time LOL

x David and his weird looks

x Nathan being a nerd as always

x Diana and her 151cm short! (lol she hasnt grown for the last..3 years?)

x Flora being as crazy as always

x Nic and his constant "acting perverted" act. Ahhh hilarious

Ahaha and Cilinia today. As usual, talk to her, ask her how her holiday was. Omgawsh, the first thing she said to me

"OMG JIM, I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!"

Haha I'm really happy for her!! I'm eager to meet this heart-throb in her life =p

Ahh but yeah, that was my day ~ Was really fun to see everyone after 2wks of not seeing them =(

「 with you 」

Okay, seriously, I've been listening to this song for the last hour or two. It's seriously, just so awesome. Old, mainsteam, and probably now overplayed, but this song always gets to me =]

x----------------------------------------------x
[Verse 1] [x2]
I need you boo, (oh)
I gotta see you boo (hey)
And there's hearts all over the world tonight,
Said the hearts all over the world tonight

[Verse 2]
Hey! Little mama,
Ooh, you're a stunner
Hot little figure,
Yes, you're a winner
And I'm so glad to be yours,
You're a class all your own
And...
Oh, little cutie
When you talk to me
I swear the whole world stops
You're my sweetheart
And I'm so glad that you are mine
You are one of a kind and...

Aye, nothing much at ALL really. HAO sien la. Just wake up, stay at home, study, eat, exercise, sleep. Ahaha..once this set of exams finish I'll have 2 months free! Just constant easy revision =] Really can't wait!!

I read this today, I thought it was really sweet =O Have a read, it's really quite an enduring story. Just goes to show the possibilities in the real world.

Hmm, i wonder how DOLLY's going? Haven't talked to her in a while since she's been so busy. Hope she's doing okaay ^__^

Got bored during one of my study sessions, so pulled out the camera ~~ XD

My v.v.v. messy study desk LOL

Look at all the post-it stamps riddled on the wall LOL. constant reminders to do this and do that.

Now I've started having post-it stamps for stuff I have to do in audi LMAO. Wow ~~ never thought that'd ever happen =p

MOOD: Bored and tired =(!
MUSIC: SHINee - replay [ again! ]

One week down of this holiday ~ one week left to go. The thing is, I'm going insane maan! Grounded, stuck at home, not allowed to leave because of the exams coming up. It's driving me nuts! I can't stay 3 weeks inside the house and wait till AFTER exams. Aye man..I'm glad that once ALL THIS IS OVER, I have a 4 month holiday awaiting me!

Was reading the paper this morning, then found a samurai sudoku. Haven't seen one of those in such a long time, so decided to go do it. WALAO it took me like..45mins to finish! It's absolutely HUGE. Imagine 5 sudoku puzzles in one. Have a look XD

Rating: HARD

Those white marks are my mistakes ^^;

Eh, few days ago I went to Blue Mountains with family. It's REALLY COLD THERE!! Omgawsh I'm serious. It's so cold! Right in the middle of winter some more. But parents wanted to get out of the house and go somewhere close to Sydney, so we went there. It's only about 1hrs drive off from Sydney ~~ =] The main scenic site is echo point, which is at the edge of a HUGE HUGE VALLEY. Take a look and see ~~

The valley stretches to about as far as the horizon in the last picture. It's a really nice place. BUT OMGAWSH SO WINDY AND SO COLD. As I was walking I was expecting the wind to blow me away all the way to msia or something LOL. Then we went too..

CHOCOLATE FACTORY!!! WALAO

Okay, seriously, this place has the BEST CHOCOLATE. Omgawsh I'm craving more more more..It was seriously sooo gooood. They have REAL HOT CHOCOLATE. Not your MILO chocolate powder that you pour in milk. I should have taken pic, but I'll explain as best as I can.

You have it come in separate parts. Your cup, chocolate pieces, milk. The cup is the special thing. THink of a long cylindrical tube with a hole at the top to pour your milk into. But at the bottom is a candle. So it heats your chocolate on the spot. So basically, you make your own chocolate milk. Add milk, add chocolate and stir. Their chocolate....HAO NICE LA!! OMG. And the spoon was so interesting too. Imagine a..

metal straw, with a spoon "basin" attached to one end. it's like the plastic straws you use to drink pearl milk tea, but all metal, and super super cool. the metal's heated so as you drink it warms the milk XD

LOL! getting so excited over a spoon ^^;

And also, I found out, my mum takes the most random pictures. T_T

She had to take a pic of me looking bored and sitting around waiting for lunch T_T Aiyeeer..

Oh well, overall if was hao hao fun ! ^__^

omGawsh i finished zettai kareshi yesterday and it has made me so so emo. T.T the ending hao sad la! =(

Have to admit, I'm a sucker for sad romance dramas. Most of the dramas I've seen HAVE been sad and all. Ayeee... =( I think the final episode was really good though. I mean..aaargh can't spoil it for you all! If you've seen it, complain with me about how sad it was! If you haven't..go watch it la!

-- BIG EXAMS IN THREE WEEKS TIME. --
I am so unbelievably stressed right now! ><

ZETTAI KARESHI

2008-07-09T22:13:00.004+10:00

zettai kareshi 「絶対彼氏」

Thought i'd try share the drama i'm watching right now. Recently just finished in japan, but yehh, its really good series le!

Overview:
Robot maker, Kronos Heaven, finally develops "Night Tenjo", the perfect male humanoid programmed to be devoted and completely loyal to his lover. The company chooses temp worker Izawa Riko to take part in a 5-day free trial. At first, Riko only sees Night as a household appliance. But when she finds out how deep Night's devotion to herself is, Riko finds herself falling in love with him. Joining the love triangle is Asamoto Soshi, a distinguished young executive at her company who has feelings for her

Haha okay lor, sounds hao cheesy right? but it's actually really good i reckon. I'm up to episode 8 and the story has REALLY developed alot. Ending of ep7 was really nice ^.^

Like, I think watchin the robot develop his own willpower and start breaking away from his program that tells him to "say this and say that", pretty cool la. He also starts developing personal emotions and all this and that.

Also the series damn funny la ~~ Alot of funny moments that i really enjoy ^__^ So it's not just soppy sad stuff, also very jumpy and happy ~~ Not like one litre of tears. THAT DRAMA...aiyoo man, box of tissues T.T

And the theme song for it is hao nice la!

ayaka - okaeri

Gonna go watch episode 8 now! <3

MOOD: Happy and satisfied =]
MUSIC: I-Nine _ seven days of lonely

Wow alot has happened since I last posted. Exams finished around..2wks ago, and the last 2wks have had ALOT of things happen.

LAST WEEK ~
Started gettin all my exam results back. All not too bad la. Retaining the same rank as last time which is really good. But hao happy about my extension-2 maths results. Came..4th in the class? And our maths class is the top one in the school, so hao happy about it ^__^ My rank last time was like..55/97 for extension-2..so hopefully i can AT LEAST hit top20. My aim is top-15 by August. Hopefully can hit it. All my other subjects..I guess I'll be retaining
JAP - 4th
ENG - 40th~ around
MATHS extension-1 - 30th ~
CHEM - 16th
PHYS - not too sure. need to improve on this.

Then we had a prefect event. "mini olympics". Was talkin to yee yee few days ago about prefects. Hao different from other countries. Prefects in our school aren't the bossy ones that tell everyone to behave, do uniform nicely, treat people nicely etc etc. No la, we're not the bossy type. We're more like..what yee yee called "cheerleaders" LOL! We raise school spirit, make the school more fun, so we run events and all this and that. Kind of like the student council.

So our mini-olympics [ since this year is beijing games wor ] was held over..2hrs during school time? Had different events instead of the sporting events you'd imagine. We had like..dodgeball, gladiators [ GLADIATORS HAO FUN LE. we had a gymnastics beam and long plastic poles and 2 competitors had to try and hit the other person off. but of course had all the crash mats around the beam incase they fall ]. Other games:

- equestrian. This one also v. interesting. Imagine musical chairs MINUS the chairs. Instead of chairs, you have people. So one person had to be a chair, the other person had to sit on the chair. And to make things interestin, each round had different rules. Like..you had to pair boy x girl, or boy x boy, or with people in the same grade as you, same nationality as you etc etc.

- Shotput. Instead of proper shotput, we replaced them with WATER BOMBS. So people had to throw the waterbombs at others to score points. FUN LA

- swimming. No we don't have a pool at our school. Instead we got people to wear swimming caps, goggles and FLIPPERS and they had to run around an obstacle course. Ahaha of course, with swimming flippers, they run so awkwardly and fall down alot HAHA. Aye..alot of people watched that game and cheer for their friends

Ahh day was hao fun le. Alot of people got involved, fun to see everyone just have a good time ^.^

THIS WEEK ~
Eee ~ last week of school before two week holiday. So of course everyone was excited and couldn't wait till the week was over. We had photos on monday tuesday. So everyone dressed up nicely, wear make up for their last photo. After this year, no more school photos since everyone goes to uni. Everyone commenting on each other's hair and makeup. Can see all the girls with their mirrors, all the guys busy applying gel / wax XD Haha ~~

Wednesday...Nothing lor. Was a very average day. Go school, go home, eat, sleep, do homework, audi a bit. XD

Thursday..aiyeer same.

Friday..Ahh, yesterday was so good la! Had lots of things happen. Our time as prefects finishes this term, so yesterday was the last day for all of us to pull off a BIG BIG EVENT for the school. By tradition, every year the prefects hold a big big assembly for the whole school and entertain. So basically, we pull off a show for everyone to watch =] Since we had mini-olympics last week, we had VERY LITTLE time to plan and rehearse everything. But we managed to do it! Aye, everyone pull together and we pulled a good show for them. XD Going to get the video recording of the whole assembly next term. Maybe I can put it up for all of you to see LOL

Then after that, continuing on with prefects, for a month we had been planning a big big dinner for all the prefects. Both parents and prefects invited. We booked a nearby community hall, and told everyone to bring some food. Whaa man, the food HAO NICE la. This one just to taunt DOLLY. ATE SO MUCH. YUM YUM YUM!! =ppp Haha look at the photos!

my mum's curry puffs in the middle LOL

Jean and her younger sister

people having good time ~~

So yaaah, its been quite fun le ~ ^__^

彼はまだ君に大事な人かな。

心でまだ大切な場所があろなの？彼がもう忘れたの知っていたけど。。違うか？

ほかの男ことを話す時時々嫉妬心が始める。これは。。。natural? has it always been this way?

i try to ignore it. でももっともっとむずかしくなる。

僕の気持ち。僕の考え。ぜんぶ入り乱れた。僕の世界が俯けたように。

今私「チャンスガアル？」と考えている。それがほしいけど実は。。「出きる」？かも知れないね。でもまだ早い。待った方がいい。。

でも。。
気を悪くしないように～君気持ちが知りたい。もう一度傷つけないから。。

maybe im just acting childish and selfish.

これ前にぜんぜんこの考えがなくなった。どうして今始めた？

Feeling so unstable now that I have no idea what's going on. Mind's a muddle. Heart's a muddle. Life's a muddle. If there's such thing as a triple whammy, I think I've just been slapped hard, 3 times in the face.

Family. Friends. Work.

The big 3 things most important to me. 3 issues, 1 each, all on ONE DAY?! who the FUCK gets that sorta luck. SERIOUSLY. = =;;

Weee my blog so dead already liao. No one comment and I been so busy this last week that I haven't had time to revamp. Poor blog so neglected ='( And I plan to do change in the skin sometime soon. Kinda feel the need to get a new one

Okaay so this whole last week been so busy with exams. Yes it's all over! Feels so goood. Haha now I have a 3-day weekend from Sat - Monday. ^___^ v Sit back, relax and really enjoy after one heck of a stressful week. I think my only consolation throughout the whole week was calling yee-yee [ aka ahma DOLLY ] once in a while. Haha I called her during her piano lesson on Friday. Whaa, only picked up piano 2 days ago. Haha when I called you during your piano lesson I thought you'd been playin piano for YEARS ^^; woops

Ahh I have upcoming dance performance this Friday. Inside our school we have houses (like Harry Potter and their 4 houses) and there's a dance competition between the 4 houses. The thing is, rules of the competition:
- must have at least 1 person from each form (form 1 - 6)
- must have 30secs of unison with everyone in group dancing
- must be at least 4mins long, the whole thing

our group is not ready! >< I told the form5 people to handle for us because we have exams, so cannot arrange everything. But even now, so much hasnt even been TAUGHT. some more after that we still have to work on SYNCHRONISING T_T SIAN la. I think we're sure gone. Our house hasn't got many good dancers. All the good ones that I dance with in other performances are in other houses. Now have to go head-to-head against them =( Sure die la ~~ Oh well. It'll still be damn fun =]

And I found out. My friend in SG that I met through audi's moving to melbourne! That's so awesome la Eunice =) If you ever drop by Sydney be sure to let me know okaay. XD She's going to melbourne in September to choose a place. Ahh xD so cool

MOOD: Tired, little stressed, but generally not too bad!
MUSIC: It Started with a Kiss OST

Decided to take a break from doing my physics research assignment to try blog a bit. Actually, I’m writing this post while my net’s being dc. Just going to copy this entire thing over onto the blog when I get my net back tomorrow morning. Haha I’ve been lazy with my blogging haven’t I! Last Sunday since I last blogged. Woow T_T

Anyway nothing much has really happened once again. Exams are looming upon me in two weeks so it’s starting to get a lil hectic =x But I’ll survive, as I always do. Though the stress will kill me in the process. Man, I can’t wait till all this is over. This year’s the most stressful of all the highschool years. Once I finish my final exam on

16th November 2008

The first thing I’ll be doing is PARTYING like crazy. Seriously, I CANNOT WAIT. And then the thought of going overseas afterwards. –drools- xD Gosh if I keep dreaming about it I’m gna end up failing these upcoming exams. Can’t let that happen. Must ~jyjy~

Yesterday had STAT test all the way in the city. Basically an exam you have to do for pharmacy course in University of Sydney. The test standard is pretty low, so really didn’t have problems with it. But the travelling there was TERRIBLE. Sit, sit, do nothing. Train, then bus, then bus. And then return trip eurgh. Saw Sean, Kenny, Eddie and Viet there, all taking the same test at the same session as mine. Test was for 2hrs, but if you finished early you could just leave after handing in your paper. So yeah, A LOT of people started handing their paper in around 1.5hrs into the test. Finished the test damn early, so spent 45mins just checking checking. XD boring sia!

And then had school fete at my old pri school. It’s an annual event with rides, food, games and finishes off with FIREWORKS DISPLAY. This year’s was REALLY good. Fireworks a lot better than last time. Last time was damn lousy = = so disappointing. Met up with old friends as we just hang around as we did in the good old days. Haha some of us bought those inflatable hammers and we just started whacking each other for fun for like..15mins. Ahh sometimes it’s good to let your inner child come out. =]

Eeee, found some pics I took from last wk in class. Got so bored during maths and had camera in my bag so decided to take some photos ^^;

Justin, wth are you doing lol. stretching? xD

yay. simple harmonic motion T_T

my nice clean desk...

compared to my friend's really messy desk when she sits next to me xD

OHH OHH. That’s right. Our school has an annual musical every year run by the year11s and chorus members from other grades. This year’s one is coming up really soon. NEXT WEEK. 5th, 6th and 7th June. My mei managed to get me decent seats, only 5 rows back. Usually by the time sales go out to general public, you can only get like..20th row++ Because all the lead cast and chorus members get priority and get to buy a few days before everyone else. Ehh, but my jie can’t come. She wanted to come with me and her friend, but now she back off cause she bo time. T_T So now im stuck with 2 tickets. Tryin to find someone who’s free this Friday so they can join me =( I did choreography for the musical last year and had principle speaking role. Was really fun and so worth it. Met so many new faces, a lot of them I still keep in touch with today. This year I think they’re doing... “La Perichole” or something. I hope it’s good. Mei’s playing a flower girl LOL. ^__^ Ill be watching. DON’T MAKE ANY MISTAKES =P! x33

Haha hope this makes up for my laziness ^^; Okay okay this time must REALLY try to get my blogging back up to scratch. Comment more la! I barely see any comments from anyone except viro =( VIRO you blog stalker. You always stalk my blog, listen to my music wakaka.

Wow I've been lazy with my blogging recently aye? I should get back on track with it. Even though my usual excuse is that "i don't have time to blog". Hah I think I'm more lazy than anything

Don't know why I'm feeling emo right now. Just feeling very "meh" and "whatever". I think it's all the music that I'm listening to ^^; Alot of ballads, and generally slow-paced songs. Slows your whole body down and keeps you relaxed. Almost too relaxed that it makes you turn ~~emo~~ =(

Weekend was absolutely boring I swear. Saturday, decided to spend the whole day studying. Left house early in the morning, went to Epping and spent whole day at library, then tutoring. Then AFTER that, omgawsh, parents wanted to go eat buffet dinner. WALAO I was so full after. Felt like my stomach wanted to explode into 100 pieces ! =( curry was absolutly terrible...4/10 stars. it was bad.
Ohh it was my

Ohh is it just me, or is cabalSEA suddenly not working? I've had a look at forums and it seems that ALOT [ if not ALL ] of the people outside of MSIA and SG can't seem to enter cabalSEA anymore after the saturday patch.

have they done a huge IP block and restricted it to just SG and MS IPs?!

THATS SO STUPID IF THEY HAVE. RAWR. means i cant play it anymore =(

THIS TIME _ jojo

damn catchy song ~~ and i like the lyrics ^_^

I made the mistake like before
Givin you the third degree, takin you through it
I told you I get what I want
And I ain't tryna hear nothin else but just do it
And I had to take a good look
When everything else didn't have a ring to it
I'm sittin here blamin myself
When I saw what you were feelin inside, I misused it

This time it's all my fault (Ooh oh)
This time I can't let go
This time I did it
Really, but I got these feelings
How am I supposed to know? (Ooh oh)
Can't let my weakness show (Yeah yeah)
Havin my fits may cause me to miss this first chance at real love

This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me
Baby this time (this time) this time (this time) this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me

Every female I know
Can't seem to take her eyes off of you and I see it
It's just that my girls been so hurt
And I'm not tryna be the next one goin through it
I see that I got somethin real
And I don't wanna lose it and gotta to say thank you
The thought of you gone gives me chills
So baby let's just put this aside and just come here

This time it's all my fault (Really all my fault)
This time I can't let go
This time I did it
Really, but I got these feelings (And I got these feelings)
How am I supposed to know? (To know)
Can't let my weakness show
Havin my fits may cause me to miss this first chance at real love

This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me
Baby this time (this time) this time (this time) this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me

Never will I deny you love me
All this time you stuck here and didn't leave (my time)
Now I know what 'trust me you will see' was (And I owe you)
All my heart and deepest apologies
So let's take this back to we got it man
I just wanna do this with you boy

This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me
Baby this time (this time) this time (this time) this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me
This time I won't let you get away from me
This time I'm gonna let you take it where it should be
This time I won't say no
Cause sayin no is a way to protect me

Baby this time (this time) this time (this time) this time (this time)
I'mma let you want me

MOOD: good good ~ ^__^
MUSIC: DBSK - O ~ jung.ban.hub and rihanna - please don't stop the music

Wow it's been a while since I posted. But seriously, nothing much has happened at all. It's just been so damn sien and everything. Ahh well, time to recap !

~ Weekend ~
Haha, apart from the usual study and tuition, absolutely nothing! Ohh my grandma went to msia for four months. WOW MAN WHY IS EVERYONE LEAVING FOR MSIA EXCEPT ME! I wanna go back to msia. Eurgh...ohh well, I'll get my chance sooon ^.^ v

Ohh, a woman called me up on Saturday asking whether I could tutor her son in primary 5. And it was right during tuition as well. Just concentrating during class, then suddenly *michelle branch - breathe ringtone* starts playing. zzz..scared me cause the class was so quiet and paying attention as well. Of course before I tutor anyone, I like to see what they're capable of and see what things they need improvement in. So Sunday I dropped by the kid's house and just had a look at what he can and can't do. Whaa man, he's pretty smart, but his mum just wants to push him further (typical from asian parents right? T_T) So yeah, now I tutor him every Monday.

Thing is...when the woman asked me my price, I usually charge $25/hr. Walao man, that woman so gutsy, try to bargain with me. Thing was..aiyoo she managed to negotiate down to $20/hr. Don't know what I was thinking..AIYO. T__T typical Shanghai people, always try bargain bargain, even if it's her son's education must try bargain...zzz..Ohh well, it's good money.

And then ANOTHER kid call me up asking for just one-off tutoring this Tuesday. I was like "eh, i charge $30/hr" and the parent was like "SURE SURE COME!". Haha YESSS XD $30/hr this Tuesday. Can't wait for the money to start coming in ~~

Actually I never thought I'd now start tutoring kids. Before I just tutor at the tutoring centre. But some of the parents have been asking the centre owner if she knows any good private tutor that can help her kid. Of all the tutors she picked me?! O__O She said I'm one of her best tutors, and she says I'm really capable of handling kids? Whaaa man. All makes sense. No wonder I want to do paediatrics in med school. All makes sense ^__^

~ Today ~
Eeeee~! Happy happy sia. The school has been planning to install mirrors into our drama room for so long, except it's never happened for a long time. FINALLY last Friday they got the people to install them in and today we could start using. WALAO ITS SO AWESOME. Me and a couple friends just stayed there whole of the morning before school, during our free periods and lunch as well. Ayeee ~ now I can dance whenever I want =) Friend choreo'd really nice routine today, so we're gna learn it sometime soon and then record it. We're thinking of using it for a future dance performance. Hmm, our group (ENCORE), hasn't performed in so so long. I think we should perform again ^^;

2008-05-15T22:28:00.002+10:00

~~ YES OMGAWSH HE'S BEEN FOUND!! ~~

mei just sms'd me and told me he's still alive and well in wen chuan. and he's not injured either. omg i feel SO SO HAPPY . even though he's not even my own uncle, a HUGE HUGE weight off my shoulder has been lifted.

thank you, really, whoever was out there. God, Allah, Buddha...seriously, omgawsh

thank you so so much. for bringing my mei's happiness back and for saving her uncle's life. you have no idea how much it means to me x3 ~

T___T

2008-05-13T21:38:00.003+10:00

MOOD: praying, praying, praying
MUSIC: - none right now -

x___x;; im in such a depressed state right now. really.
-sigh- how to start, where to start. guess i have to start from the top.

well, today was alright. everything went okay, then after school today no problems. was happy doing my work and all that. then..my "mei" at school calls me up (not my real mei, just close friend as always) and tells me that all her relatives got hit by the earthquake in china. she grew up in the sichuan region, the worst affected area of the earthquake and alot of her relatives have had to leave their homes because it's now all in rubbles..the worst part about it...

her uncle and two other relatives are missing. they're out of contact and she's really worried about them.

she called me up and she had already been crying for so long T__T. some more she's really close to her uncle, so for her, this was really really bad news to her. basically, when she was young, her dad was always busy with work, so her uncle would always look out for her, look after her. basically she grew up with her uncle as the father figure. so naturally they became really close. she even said that her uncle treats her more like a daughter than he treats his own son. so this news that now he's missing...its hitting her really hard. and the worst thing is, i feel so helpless. i cant do anythin to help her. i can give her moral support, but what use is that? hows that gonna help them find her uncle? = =;; and ive never seen her cry this badly before..so im really just..so...-sighs-

she told me to pray for his safety. of course ill be prayin every night for him..but man..x__x seeing my mei like that..its so painful to watch T_T almost unbearable. she's usually always so cheerful, so happy. we always pei each other when we can ~ so we've become really close as friends and we share all our deep secrets and stuff. and we always help each other when we can. but this time..i really do feel so useless. and i dont know what to do.

i told her not to go to school tomorrow, incase she ends up breaking down and then there'll be so many people swamping her, asking her whats wrong and all this and that. and right now the thing she needs most is her own space, her own time to sort things out so that she can pray for his safety. -sigh-

mei-mei...stay strong okay. remember you have a gor that's always lookin' out for you ^__^v even though i might not be of much help in a situation like this - where both you and i feel so useless - but just remember, if you ever need support, a shoulder to lean on, an ear to listn, ill always be there for you ~ x33~

tuition has never been more fun ~ xD

MOOD: overworked and underpaid =p
MUSIC: Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

Wha man, tuition has never been more fun (believe me when I say this). Haha Cilinia brought her beanie thing today and we had so much fun with it. LOL check these pics out:

Ahh cilinia so cute in this one =p But thats where it ends. the rest are just CRAZY

HAHAHA SHIRLEY! omg me and cilinia just sit there and LAUGH at this picture for so long. teacher was like "EHH what so funny?!". cause he thought he made a joke or somethin, so he act very proud that he make us laugh or something. walao self-centred our tutor..we were laughin at SHIRLEY, not YOU

OMGAWSH JAEMIN LA. You look so GAY in this. AHAHAHAHA. after i took this pic, i got most of my friends to bluetooth on, then i sent them the photo. we all agreed to put it on our phone wallpaper then at the end of the lesson go and show him his "fanclub". AHAHA his reaction when he saw 6 phones held up all showing the same wallpaper of him. Aiyo man...I think we've formed the "JAEMIN FAN CLUB"

Ahh after that died out, we just got bored of the tutor AGAIN. WALAO usually his lessons not this boring, but cilinia and i were really sien so we just sat and crapped around some more. Ended up drawing on her arm ^^;

"cilinia is a monkey =D!!" I added "nigerian monkey" later on -whistles-

She ended up drawing on my arm too lol.

"jim is . . . BLACK?" Where got BLACK man. I'm not a BANGLA T_T (omgawsh..bangla)

Don't know what to say today. Today been so..whatever. Even to the point of moody = =;; Nothing happen today, same old usual crap at school. Study, come home, study. No wonder I'm going insane xP

Friend today showed me his new set of expensive cards. The pro BICYCLE brand used for all the magic tricks with cards and the proper ones that casinos use. He tried showing me magic trick, but LOL failed miserably. Just tell him to keep practicing and soon enough he'll get it ~~ jiayou =)

WALAO forgot to add this onto my post. Remember how my mum went to msia earlier? Well she also went to see the progress of her 2nd brother's bungalow which has been in construction since 2006 (yah 2 YEARS TO BUILD MAN). And it's almost done and I tell you la, the bungalow is HUMUNGOUS. When I went msia last time in 2006, we saw it. And it was all bricks and basic outlay with nothing much. All I remember of it:

- 3 storeys
- TALL CEILING
- lots and lots of pillars
- huge front door
- personal gym
- tennis court
- swimming pool

RICH right?!

I went through my mum's photos this morning from the camera. And walao I almost fell off my seat after I saw the SIZE of this monstrosity. The house is BIIIG MAN. And it's almost ready to be moved in. The landscaping mostly done, the house also mostly done. Seriously la, check out this pics. I'm in pure SHOCK.

this not even the FRONT of the house. its the SIDE OF THE HOUSE

inside the house

check the size of the roof

3 storey house. thats the main staircase and the door leading to backyard

the front door!

the entrance. the yellow shirt is my 2nd uncle, the house owner. notice how TALL the roof is =O

front door from outside. also DAMN TALL

his future car-port. big enough to live in man.

Well, my uncle's been saving for quite a while now, so he definitely deserve to live in something that big. I think he owns a printing company and also been doing alot of land purchasing and leasing. So of course, easy for him to save up the money. If i remember clearly, the house cost him RM2.7million. I know the land was ALOT more expensive, but I have NO idea how much.

Best thing about all of this, my uncle told me, anytime I go to msia and I need place to stay, he's got like..5 guestrooms. FIVE MAN XD. WALAO, I can take 4 friends to go stay his place. XDDD CANT WAIT to go msia, and instead of spend money stay at hotel, can just GO HIS PLACE INSTEAD.

Hmm, I asked mum where the bungalow located. It's in BCB Country Heights near Kajang. Not too sure where that is la, my KL geography sucks like hell = = But i know the land very nice and got lots of HUGE houses as well -jealous-

WEEE ~~ I WANT HIS HOUSE! ><

Eh why so weird today

2008-05-06T18:28:00.006+10:00

MOOD: Tired and emo O_O
MUSIC: Elliot Yamin - Wait for You (again! XD)

Wow man, today I had a sudden burst of emo. Don't know why. Actually whole day there were no problems at all, then towards the end of the day just suddenly turned emo o.o" Don't ask me how...ohh well. Felt all sluggish and didn't feel like talking to anyone. Maybe it's because of my song choice. Elliot Yamin is so goood ^__^ The song's damn emo but I love it mah.

This isn't the real video. The real one, they disallowed embedding so I can't embed it into the blog T__T LAME LA

Hmm, actually maybe I do know why I so emo. I think I have some idea, but I give it a few days, let things pass and see whether it really is the cause of it all ~~ I hope it's nothing big though...=(

Aaanyway, on happier note, my best WISHES GO TO

DOLLY and VIRO.

DOLLY's got exams tomorrow and VIRO's got some next week.

BEST WISHES to both of you ^__^ Study haaard and get those marks that you deserve okaay? No stress ~~

GANBATTE! ~~ がんばって＾＾

I have the worst luck with my friend's speakers. He usually bring portable speakers to school, so we can listen if we have break or free periods where we can just crap around or if we feel like it, we actually STUDY. But yahh, yesterday I ask him if I can borrow, he forgot to bring cable that connect speaker to ipod. Then today ask him again cause I have another free period, got cable..but BO BATTERY. Battery ran out! I think he left the speakers on last time he used, so the batteries all dead by the time I got it. Aiyoo man, tomorrow okay? xD I go borrow your speakers again and HOPEFULLY will work properly *fingers crossed*

Ahh well ^^ ~

2008-05-04T18:10:00.010+10:00

MOOD: Now quite tired ^^;
MUSIC: None right now

Went gai gai today (finally, after so long). Had tutoring in the morning though from 10-12 as always. Sat with Cilinia today. Ended up we took photos in the back to keep ourselves entertained cause teacher started repeating himself with all the examples on the board. So naturally so boring we just zone out ^^;

First photo ended up writing the words backwards zzzz. T__T Ahaha Cilinia so camera-shy in the last one x3~

Then after, late for bus so we run run run. Shirley come along she's like "weii I'll just drop you all at bus stop instead". Haha so then we run all the way back to her car, jump into her car and we were there in like 3mins flat. Normal way, woulda taken us 10mins to walk. THANKS SHIRLEY XD

Thai food is actually quite good man! Damn spicy though. Went to Bamboodled underneath the cinema complex to have lunch before movie ~~

Haha Jason so stoned mah

Edward as always, so oblivious to the world aorund him

Nathan doing his pose. xD

Don always so cheerful somehow.

eee ~~ the remains of my spicy soup noodle with chicken

Jean came in later to join us. She couldnt finish her food so we ended up take picture of it

---------------------------------------------------------------

LOL AT DON. YOU KNS. Always give me that face whenever I take photo
-----------------------------------------------------------

After that, met up with Fiona and Caroline outside cinema and we went to watch Ironman. Walao that movie's damn good. Its so exciting and veery fun to watch man. Definitely go watch sometime, well worth it ^__^

After that, Jason, Fi and Caroline all had to go, so the rest of us just hang around mall and crap around. Ended up going to eat gelato and we just sat at the place for 2hrs just talking xD

Our damn nice gelato!

Jean, Don, Nathan, Eddie

Jean. I like the hoodie mah

= =;; Nathan got bored

I got bored too ^^;

And then after that went home ~~ Was quite fun man. Took a video of all of us, but it's so big. 21mb. Too lazy to upload or put anywhere ><

- jim

2008-05-03T18:17:00.002+10:00

MOOD: Same old ~ same old xD
MUSIC: Plan B - More is enough (ft Epic Man)

Finally the weekend's come ^__^ Feels so good man. But then had tuition today as always from 2-5pm. Boring boring. I just realised how much work I have this coming term T_T It's crazy. I'm basically going to be

xx OVER WORKED xx for the next 5 months!

Ohh well, it better all be worthwhile at the end =P Then after all the big uni entrance exams I can go on that HOLIDAY which I'm saving up towards.

PLANNED COUNTRIES:
Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan (maybe), Shanghai (also a maybe)

I want to start planning it now, but can't >_< Still got so many other things on the side to worry about.

Yesterday was Nathan's birthday. Had this really nice chocolate cake with cherries and the lot during lunch. And Kerry brought along some REALLY NICE brownies. Kerry you make the BEST brownies x3~ I know they're full of sugar, chocolate and all that other yucky fatty stuff, but man they are REALLY nice!
So to properly celebrate, we're heading to Parramatta tomorrow, have lunch at thai restaurant and watch Untraceable. According to mum, the reviews for the movie are damn lousy, but ohh well. I don't mind ^^; Except..movies are so damn exp nowerdays. Like.. $11 or something? Been a long time since I went to cinema because the price is just ridiculous. Some more I have to pay for most of the things I want by myself nowerdays. No longer that financially supported by my parents. I just want my boss to call me in more than just once a week! If not, I'm stuck on AUD$25 per week. Which isn't much considering I have to save for:

- holiday
- new hp
- upgrade computer
- deposit for house (yaaaah believe it or not, i want to start saving for this already xD)
- uni fees.

WALAO man, SO MUCH TO SAVE FOR T____T Some more have to study damn hard on the side. And do this and do that. School activities, STUDY STUDY STUDY, parents business, STUDY STUDY STUDY, family issues. Crazy la. I hope I can cope.

------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh on another note, yesterday Beidi called me [ my imouto-chan // mei-mei // kouhai // junior at school // ah-yi // got so many nicknames for her lol. i dno how she became my mei AS WELL as my ahyi ]. She's got exams last week and this week so naturally she's studying damn hard. I tell her to relax though, "no worries man! this year really relaxed. wait till you hit my year when everythin you work for counts to what uni you go to", but yahh you know, their form right now has I think...26 couples?! It's around that number.

Crazy la. This year they had a whole new batch of people come in, around 30 new people join their grade. And ever since then, it's been totally mating season for the grade. Next thing you know, after 6-7 weeks there are 26 couples. And ahaha, my mei is one of those. Her bf quite an interesting guy man. Decent singer and all. Apparently he was a super big player in his old school before he moved to our school. Always tell her to watch out for that, but she says she knows he's not like that now. I really hope so la, for your sake =(

See the worst thing about this sort of sudden burst of couples, they're all short lived. Our grade also had a similar thing back in yr9 (equivalent of sec3 / form3 for you msians and sgers) and I think every single one of them died after about...a year? The longest one was a year. The shortest one was...believe it or not...3 days. -speechless-. Mine also was considerably short. Around 3 months? Looking at us back then, we were so immature, just jio anyone because it was "cool". Haha ohh it's good that we learn our lessons the hard way. No need to make anymore stupid mistakes xD ~~

MOOD: Busy, busy!

MUSIC: Rain - With you

Wow man, already 3rd day of school and I'm SO DAMN BUSY. The amount of homework so crazy man. Non-stop each subject getting more and more homework. Already FLOODED in the 3rd day! But I guess so la. I'm doing 13 units for my HSC, 3 more than the required 10 needed to get into uni. Maths has just been ridiculous, the amount of maths outstrips all my other subjects by 100x. And look at my table! It's so flooded with work and ... maths T_T

Really man. The last question on that sheet..took 2 pages. KNS! T__T Really going to die from all this.

School now taking up alot of my time during the weekdays. Means I can't audi as much and might not be online as much. Or if I am, will be busy T_T Weekends are still relatively free for me, so can definitely audi then, unless I have major exams coming up and have to study like siao...

Friday tomorrow! Can't wait for the weekend. This week been so crazy.

Haha yesterday I spam sms'd DOLLY and VIRO pretty much most of the day. Later on, checked my credit. OMG used up around 20 free SMS's plus another $5-$10. But Australian SMS really expensive...25c per! All you m'sians out there have it really easy, alot cheaper than us over here. Which is why I gotta maximise every single sms and use up all the characters T_T

DOLLY LA. Must you make me jealous all the time? Always telling me about how good a time you're having while I'm stuck doing somethin damn boring like school, or waiting to get picked up, or other crap like that. Aiyo man, one day you wait! I sure wallop you ~~

xx 150 characters = 25c ......... 151 characters = 50c CRAZY RIGHT? That's what I hate most about Aust hp deals. Too expensive.. xx

MOOD: Damn sick liao! ><
MUSIC: Namie Amuro - Put em Up

School started again today. Wow after 2wk holiday it felt so weird to go back to school and see everyone again. And you know what?! I FELL SICK. Omgawsh, so ngam... Of all days to fall sick, the day you go back to school? I'd laugh if I made other people sick and tomorrow they're all ill and it's my fault. Ahaha my friend, Chen, apparently EVERYTIME I'm sick, I make him sick. 100% strike rate. No misses so far =P So if tomorrow he doesn't go to school, I'll know why. And then when I see him again he's going to murder me T___T Was fine in the morning, then as day progressed, felt worse and worse. By the end of the day was feeling so damn sick. Went home and sleep sleep. But still, walao man. Was fine in the holiday, then school comes and I'm sick. Maybe my body can't tahan school =p That's why it reacted like that lor...

Fiona gave me my iTrip today which I bought from eBay. Cost me $66, but now I can play my ipod through the car speakers. ROAD TRIP TIME! ^___^ No need to burn cds everytime I get sick of the music on the cd. Everything's on the ipod =) Gotta love them ~~

Anyway, the crunch of this post. WALAO, if you've read DOLLY's blog [ http://dollywawa--dolly.blogspot.com/ ], it's time for you to hear my side of the story. She purposely write like that to make me sound like the crazy one, when SHE herself is DAMN crazy man. I'm not the ultimate crapper, she still beats me at that role. She will, and always will be, the biggest crapper I ever know =P

1. Who says I can't handle dog la?! OF COURSE I can handle dog. You purposely say I can't handle dog. WALAO, you liar. Always wanted a dog, except my MUM wont let me because bo space in the house la ~~ I'm sure your dog very tortured.
OHH THATS RIGHT. DOLLY YOU SAID SO YOURSELF. your dog went and ate it's own shit. WALAO you mistreat your dog so much?! BO FEED IT?! Must end up eating its own shit? Aiyoo la, must report you to animal cruelty authority! AHAHA

2. I'm not GAY la. Whoever said I'm gay?! Once again purposely write that up just to make everyone think I'm gay. IM NOT GAY! kns la u ~ -slap slap-

3. The reason i sounded like seal was to IMITATE YOU. YOU started it! I talking to you normally then you suddenly "bo bo bo" for no reason. And of course, you sounded like seal, so i say "wha you sound so much like seal lor" Then started imitating you. Sure I might have GOOD imitation, but you're the ORIGINAL. you're still better at it than me! =P

4. Your bang wall thing just so nonsense de. I ask you bang wall and the response you give me is "bang bang bang?" Where got such wall that make such noise?! Of course had to make fun of you for doing somethin so stupid la! =P

5. Just cause you mai patience you complain about me sending you songs so slowly. zzzz "patience is a virtue"! learn now before it's too late!

6. pssst - i tell you all a secret okay? dolly here very scared of cockroaches la. So if she ever start abusing you, you get a fake cockroach toy (im sure you can buy from cheap shop la. maybe 1-2 dollar) and you throw at her! she'll jump, scream and run away. and then you can just pick up the toy, put in pocket and use it against her next time. I'll be sure to try that if i ever see her LOL! YOU WATCH OUT LA DOLLY XD

So as you can see everyone, I'm not the ultimate crapper. KUKU-DOLLY still a bigger one than me =)

Don't worry la. Even though you're the biggest lamer I've met, I still <3 you very much =P I accept your unique nature LOL. Let's go spam someone else tonight, can? Having lots of fun with you ^__^

Still so in love with this song. Thought I'd share it all with you ^__^
Seriously, despite the happy beat, the song is quite deep =O
Apparently son-ho young wrote this for his girlfriend who died. Quite touching aye?

To DOLLY: If you DO end up reading this (hope you do!) Don't worry la. Stay strong okay? Cheer up! Bumps always come along the way, but its how you deal with them that counts. Keep your chin up, and keep smiling and stay happy for both your bf and my sake ^^!

MOOD: Bored
MUSIC: Janet Jackson + Luther Vandross - The Best Things in Life are Free

Tutoring started again today. Aye, 1.5hrs of physics + 1.5hrs of chem. Can be quite sien sometimes, but ohh well, have to get used to it. Wow today has been absolutely boring. Woke up, dad decided to whip up bacon and eggs. By the time everything got cleared it was 11am. 3hrs later, heading off to tutoring. What DID I do in those last 3hrs? Ohhh right, helped drain a friend's BUBP in audi. Man I HATE playing BUBP with noobs. Seriously, after we lost the first 3 games because of lousy players, when all hope looked like it had gone, finally, 4 people suddenly joined and they were pretty good =O Earned my friend a good 300k den. Hope they're happy with it ^__^

Funny how the day pretty much ends after you come back from tutoring. By the time I got home, 5:30pm, didn't feel like doing anything at all. Wow today has been REALLY BORING.

KUKU YEE-YEE, WHERE'RE YOU LA. YOUR TURN TO COME PEI ME T_T I SO BORED ALREADY. LAI LAI~~ -sobs-

Zzz..actually holidays would have been MUCH better if I'd gone to m'sia. Mum right now has her reunion party with all her highschool friends TONIGHT. While she's out there having fun, I'm stuck at home taking care of my brothers ='( -sobs- Argh..could have been in m'sia and singapore in the last 10 days. Instead I'm stuck in Australia. Ohh well, I plan to go back around December / January this year, so look out for it! I might just be seeing some of you audi people in the near future! -thinks about how much poking I have to do- LOL

karaoke _ !

MOOD: Good
MUSIC: DBSK - O

Went to city today for friend's birthday party. Actually, was supposed to go there at around 12-noon because dad needed to get home before I could leave the house and he was in a v. important meeting in the morning. Luckily he called me around 8am and said he could come home in time for me to get to city by 11am like we arranged. Met ALOT of new people. Only knew like, 2-3 people. The rest (around..10-13 others, never met before in my life lol), all very interesting people. Aiyo, there was one really chio one. Somemore she damn smart la. Ahaha I explain later ^^;

Lunch was some new Jap restaurant that opened up recently in the city. "Pepper's Lunch" or something (ahaha the name so..strange). The concept of their cooking was very similar to the chinese hot-pot with the black plate and the food sizzling on it. So naturally, service was VERY quick. Within 5mins the food already arrived. But you have to cook your own food. All the food comes onto the plate, and it's really hot, so you just stir stir stir and let the hot plate do the cooking for you. Tried some of their Beef Pepper Rice. Doesn't take long to cook, but the plate is DAMN HOT (never try touching it for fun LOL - I learnt the hard way). Funny though, at the front of the restuarant, they were proclaiming it was new and innovative technology in Japanese cooking. Aiyo man, the chinese were already using the hot plate for YEARS and YEARS already. Why so slow? =p Either way, cheap food is still good ! ^__^ And it was tasty.

After that, karaoke at Big Echo at George St. Apparently it's the only kbox that's got 4 microphones. All the others in city only got 2. The room was quite cramped though. 15 of us in a room, can get quite hot very quickly. Ahh sing until my throat's all dead lol. Ohh, but we had a game of dice on the side as well. Quite hard to explain how to play, but we decided to play torture. We brought alot of food and drink into the kbox even though there was a HUGE SIGN at the front of the shop saying "DONT BYO FOOD AND DRINK". I have no idea how we got away with it. Somemore the manager also saw us bring in the food. I guess they're not that strict. So then for torture, if you lost the round, someone would make you a drink and you'd HAVE to drink + eat everything in the cup. The most DISGUSTING game ever. I lost like, 4 times, felt SO SICK after the 2nd cup. Somemore lost twice in a row. Was really bad.

Combinations of drink:
- Ginger beer + tomato juice (yuck!) + prawn cracker inside drink
- Jellybeans + lemonade + tomato juice + fanta

But the most disgusting one la:
- ginger beer + lemonade + tomato juice + OREO + prawn cracker

Okay OREO's are really nice right? But..the minute you put it into soft-drink all the chocolate starts dissolving into disgusting flakes and the whole OREO becomes really really soggy even after 3-4 seconds of being put in the drink. Leave it longer than 30secs and the whole thing dissintegrates into tiny chocolate mushy soggy wet disgusting bits. OMG I felt SO DAMN SICK after eating the OREO. Right now, I have the biggest grudge against OREOs. -shudders- disgusting. Until you try it, you'll have no idea how bad it was. And omg. Who the hell invented TOMATO JUICE?! It's like diluted tomato sauce. It is SO GROSS T_T Aiyo, never drinking that stuff ever again. It's just so awful, made me feel like puking.

Ahh but overall kbox was damn funny. Also saw Shirley =O She was with her friends at another room at the kbox. We saw each other in the corridor and were like:

"OMG ITS YOU"
"OMG WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"I'M KARAOKE-ING LA. YOU?"
"OMG ME TOO"

ROFL ^^;; We had the most pointless conversation ever at that point in time. After that, caught train with Irene and went home from there. Anyway where was I...ohh the chiobu ^_^

Ahaha she's so interesting =O Really. Was talking with her and her friends, apparently she's coming first in her grade at school in 3 subjects =O KNS la, so smart?! She reminded me of 3 friends combined into one. She look very similar to one, talk very similar to another one of my friend, and as smart as a 3rd friend of mine. - lol hybrid - Nowerdays so hard to find smart chiobu with good personality XD Aye, hope to see her sometime in the future.

Whaa such a long post. ^__^

MOOD: Tired and sore

MUSIC: Elliot Yamin - Wait for You

Aiyo another 2 days pass that have been so damn boring. Haven't done anything except game, TV, sleep, eat, stay at home and look after my brothers while my dad has to go to work. Really sucks since mum's in another country having FUN T__T and I'm stuck looking after the house =( According to my "jie-jie", this is "good training" to become a future husband. AHAHA~~ Okay la, I'll take that into consideration =P What I find ironic jie, is that you can't even cook! Ahh doesnt matter, still x3 you anyways ^__^

That treadmill of mine in the study room has been gathering dust for a while since I haven't used it in the last wk and a half. So today finally decided to get off my butt, get off the computer and go and run. Oh man, I feel so sore and tired now. 1.6km run followed by 100 pushups and 100 situps (alternating in sets of 20) followed by a 400m cooldown run. My arms are just so sore and my stomach feels funny LOL. Feels good though to get exercising again, considering I haven't danced / played basketball at all this holiday. Usually every holiday I go to my friend's place just 2 streets away from me and play bball with him 'cause he has a ring just outside his house. Don't know what's happened to him. I think he's busy studying for his exams. I THINK he's got exams coming up soon. If so, aza aza fighting~!

Friend's birthday outing this Thursday. I really don't know what present to get her. I'm not TOO close to her, and I've only hung out with her twice. Most of the time we just talk on msn instead. How I met her was very interesting though. Was through a friend, back when RAIN (Bi) was doing his world tour and he was stopping by Sydney to do a one-off concert! Really wanted to go, so my friend at school got me in contact with her, because she was one of the volunteers selling tickets and promoting the concert around Sydney. So yeah, I got tickets off her, but OMGAWSH she was so lucky T_T She got VIP tickets for all her hard work and she was RIGHT IN THE FRONT, right next to the stage. VIP tickets man..she was so lucky =( btw, the concert was awesome~ Really really loved it ^__^ Too bad it didn't sell too well in general, and RAIN's never going to come back to Australia because of the poor sales. That's why rarely any jap / korean artists ever come to Australia. The market's just too small for them. All the hong-kong singers come instead 'cause of the huge HK population.

So yeh, either way, present present. I have this really cute, sweet "message in a bottle" which I bought a while ago. Maybe I'll give this to her

It's got a little piece of paper inside with like, inspirational message and stuff. and the black-ish stuff is actually dried perfumed flowers or something. So when you open it up it has a really really nice smell =) Yeah why not, I don't think she'll mind it (o^__^)o

And I sort of got bored and decided to play around with my phone camera...

You can see the treadmill in the background LOL XD

FUN DAY DE ~

MOOD: Really good mood ^__^
MUSIC: Son-ho Young - My Heart's in Heaven

Wow FINALLY a more interesting day popped up! Had to wake up early again, this time to go play tennis with some friends at Pennant Hills Park. Friend planned to pick me up at 8:45 from my place. I wake up, check outside, and the first thing i see....the ground is absolutely soaking wet. Apparently it was POURING during the night when I was asleep. Zzz..so anyway, still get up, get prepared and all. Then later at 8:30 my friend who planned the whole thing calls me up, tells me that everything's pushed back AN HOUR because the courts are too wet to play. Aiyo...had to wake up early for no reason at all! =( So instead, spent some time and updated SB guild's blog BGM (one of my alltime favourite korean songs. the song is soo soo good x3~ go listen!) http://sbombs.blogspot.com/

Anyway, got to tennis, and I swear, before playing I knew I'd be the WORST player at tennis out of all of them. All of them played tennis before and then stopped, some even now play in very very pro competitions and stuff. But ALL of them had training before and played for sport. Luckily none of them playing seriously, so we just hit balls back and forward, had friendly game. Aiyo, APPARENTLY, I'm a natural talent?!!?! My friend say to me.."WOW your forehand is DEFINITELY not like someone who's never had training before. A forehand that good comes after at LEAST 4 years practice."

WTF?! I'm a natural talent at tennis?! WHERE GOT. I used to play ALOT of basketball (about 4yrs worth), cricket, swimming, and the only ever tennis practice I got was during holidays when I'd go to summer camp for a few days for few hours a day and learn from coaches. Even then I was like, 10yrs old at the time. And then after that I picked up dance as a hobby and loved it ever since. But where got this natural talent at tennis?! My friend also said,

"If you seriously got practice, I'm sure you'll become a REALLY good tennis player".

".................................." -blank face-

What a bluffer man. Me? Tennis? No thanks >__<" I'd rather become professional dancer~~ If I was good enough to make it through life as a professional dancer, I would seriously do it. Drop out of school, join a dance school and start living life as a dancer and choreographer. Start up my own classes like JP San Pedro (youtube up "JP san pedro" - that guy is my idol choreographer. his stuff is so good). Unfortunately, I don't think I can do it. Nowhere near as good as I want to be. Plus then I'd have to give up my other dream of being a paediatrician =( Hard choice man.

Aiyo anyway, my friend, he has the worst planning skills ever. Even planning when we'd play, so much trouble = =;; He changed the date SO MANY TIMES. Supposed to be last Friday. Then he change to Monday. Then he push back to today. Then today must push back an hour. And what was even worse?! It started raining for 20mins when we started playing. Lost 20mins of playing because of the rain. He ah...really, absolute genius =P

Anyway after that, we all decide go crash friend's place because he's got PS3. Man..the graphics on the PS3 (plus he had Hi-D TV) are so good. They're almost orgasmic I swear T___T. Ended up hogging his PS3 playing DMC4 for 3hrs while the others went and played on his other consoles and used his basketball ring. And then my other friend, his dad pick me and him up and ropped me home. Aiyo, he ah, his dad always gives us free stuff whenever he can (I don't know why?! He just does it alot). We got a free bag of rice from him... Dad wasn't too pleased. He doesn't like the idea that we get so much free stuff from him. Means we have to find ways to pay him back =(

Other than that, day was quite ordinary. Only been home for like, 2hrs. Was out most of the day anyway.

Ohhh, the final dances of "So you Think you can Dance" were out today. Omgawsh, Jack is SO going to win the competition. Seriously. After his performances, straight away pulled out phone and SMS-voted for him. Definite favourite amongst everyone =) Finals next Sunday. Can't wait to watch it ^__^

Aiyo, today was even more sien than yesterday. Did absolutely NOTHING. Well, did a bit of math this morning, and just did another 1.5hrs just then. Apart from that, I've been stuck at home doing absolutely nothing apart from TV and gaming. This is really not good. Already one week of my holiday down, got one week left. Really have to try and make it more productive than this >___<"

Tomorrow at least I'm gna go play tennis in the morning with some friends. But I'm absolutely LOUSY at tennis. I'm really really bad >__<" Most of my friends, really pro at tennis la. Ohh well, let them beat me =P. We were supposed to go watch movie afterwards but so many people were lazy. Plus movies are now DAMN expensive. Around..$12 I think? Used to be $10 AGES AGO but since everything's increasing in price nowerdays..aye T__T

SMS'd my friend to see if she was free today so we could go play basketball. She lives down the street from me. Sent the SMS at 11am in the morning. Till now (9pm at night) I still haven't gotten a reply ._.

Ahh like the new song in the background? Was listening to my ipod this morning, and wow, I just realised how much I x3~ this song. Really happy and cheery. Well worth the listen ^__^

Apparently she gave off her very first kiss for this video. Dedication to her music ! =O

Another really awesome one is planetarium by ai otsuka. Ahh man, the theme song for 花より男子. Was such a good drama series as well.

Finding there's nothing much to blog about. Aye, hopefully next few days something interesting will happen that'd be worth the mention ~

MUSIC: 소녀시대 - into the new world ~remix~

Wow today's been the first day since the holiday started that I've actually done absolutely nothing LOL. Wake up, eat, TV, computer, eat, do a bit of housework, bit of work, eat again...haha you get the picture. Pretty dull day right?

Ohh actually, I guess I did do something productive today. Earned myself a nice $24 for about half an hour's worth of work. Parents own a furniture wholesale business, so sometimes they ask me to assemble some of the furnitue and I get paid per piece I assemble ^__^ Easy money la. Plus I don't even need to leave the house ~

Gosh don't even know what to write about. Any suggestions?

Actually today was REALLY cold man x__x The last few days have been really nice weather then suddenly starting yesterday, it became so damn cold nia. -shivers- Why be so damn cold..

Been watching It Started With a Kiss recently (I KNOW I KNOW IM WAY BEHIND. LIKE 4YRS BEHIND ^^;), got 3-4 eps left I think. Ahhh the lead character's so funny man. Even though she's very purehearted and stuff, aiyoo, her common sense and stuff...makes me cringe T_T But still, really good series. XD Need to start watching season 2. Apparently it's finished in Taiwan so I need to go find someplace to download it =) Anyone seen it yet and can tell me what it's like?
Also, any other series you guys suggest I watch? Need another one once I finish this one.

Ohh, you know, I only recently realised sasya's 18 yrs old. O__O SIAN LA. I always thought you were 16. You never told me you were 18 x___x Some more going to the same college as CHILD. Ahaha now I see the connection. Both of them so old yet both act so young. CHILD la, I swear I thought you were also around 16yrs old. Never knew you were 18 until like, a few weeks ago. Sorry LOL ^^;

Sent mum to airport today. She's going back to KL for 10 days to have a high school reunion with all her friends. Even though I kept insisting she take me back with her, in the end she went by herself =( Now I'm stuck at home with my 2 brothers, dad and grandma LOL. Aye, 10 days of lots of housework man. She gave me a whole list of things to do and which days to do them and all. The list is...quite long O__O;; -looks at it-

After that, went to library with Esther to "study" for 3-4hrs. We arranged to meet at 1pm, but man, I got home from airport at like 12:55pm sia.. She calls me "WHERE ARE YOU?!" LOL. Rush rush, grabbed all my things then was out the door within 3 minutes ^^;; And somehow I got a feeling we wouldn't get much study done since we crap around alot.

Actually, we were quite productive! =O DID manage to get some work done. But omgawsh everyone was so loud in library. There's a whole 2nd floor dedicated to people studying, so naturally lots of tables here and there. When we got there, wha...packed. Who would have thought so many people would be studying in the holidays?! So we did end up finding 2 single tables at the side and studied there. Funny thing though, Esther spotted her friend from her old school before she joined my school, so we both go up to her to say hello. After all the hellos and all that, first thing she asks "Whoa -points to me-, is that your boyfriend?" ._."

Both of look at each other and were like "No no. No way!" LOL

I tease Esther alot at school whenever we talk anyway. Plus she's not interested in boyfriends and I'm not interested in her anyways =P So it's all good XD Gosh I can't imagine myself going out with her anyway.

After that just went home and relaxed most of the day =D Ahhh I had long phone call with my "mei". Actually, she's my 妹ちゃん to be more precise since we both do Japanese XD~ She's so awesome to talk to x3~ Always have the best time talking with her.

And yehhh, that's my day! Not too bad, but not that great.

Now I'm stuck with 10 days worth of housework to do -stares at vacuum angrily- >__<" Mum also said that she bet the house will be damn dirty when she gets home. Going to try and prove her wrong =P

LOL. Stumbled across these screenshots today. Anyone want to play minesweeper with me? If you do, watch out, because you might end up doing what these guys did =P

Driver's Tests SUCK T.T

2008-04-16T15:42:00.010+10:00

「 MOOD: Still a little angry x( 」
「 MUSIC: Jordan Sparks - Tattoo 」

Yay, the blog's finally up and working. Now to see how long I can keep this blog up and running. I remember trying to blog a while ago. And though it worked for the first few weeks, eventually stopped because I got bored and no one was commenting =( No incentive to continue blogging.

So now comes the revival of my blogging! (o^__^)o

Had driver's licence test today for my probation licence in the morning. Instructor picked me up 8am (gosh had to wake up at 7am T_T first time that's happened since the holiday started), took me around an hour for last minute practice and refining technique and such in preparation for a 9:15am exam. Omgawd I was so so nervous T_T I could feel my heart beating just as I sat at the centre waiting for my name to be called to start the driver's test. -scared-

Well, got in the car, did the usual start up, and off we went. Everything was looking damn smooth. No hitches, no problems at all. Until....the reverse parallel parking T__T Aiyoo everything was PERFECT. I parked properly and all that. Then tester was like, "okay let's continue down this road". So in my mind I was like "yaaay" XD Cause my worst part is the parking I reckon. SIAN la, because I was so happy I FORGOT I LEFT MY CAR IN DRIVE. I start looking backwards to reverse so I could get back on the main road then instructor's like "you left your car in drive". SIAN ARGH. STUPID mistake =( Because of that I failed the stupid exam. Also apparently, you have to check both sides of an intersection before driving forward on a green light.

WHAT?!

Since when do you have to still check both sides of an intersection when the light says green for you to go. What's worse is that I usually do it anyways, but my tester, DAMN fussy man. He expected me to look left and right before I even entered the intersection. I usually left and right as I drive into intersection, but the tester damn fussy, expected me to check BEFORE I enter intersection. ~___~ Because of that, failed exam.

Lesson learnt? Don't go to Parramatta RTA for your P-plate test. Apparently they're super tight and very fussy and will fail you for the smallest things. Maybe next exam I'll go to another RTA with alot less fussy people. Eitherway, must jiayou ^__^

After that went home, stayed around, didn't do much. Ended up playin CabalSEA for like, 3 hours. Almost A.Expert XD! Two more skill levels to go.

Then went library, saw Bowei there. He was adjudicating some chess tournament for primary kids. Ahhh funny man.

Ooohhh on a totally different note, I bought a nice BoA poster a while ago and it finally got shipped through from Japan. Nicely hanging on my wall now x3~

And this one's just for DOLLY. To mock you just a little more ^__^ The poster I bought for my jie x3 ~ I know how much you love DBSK [ so does my jie mind you ] so this one's just for yoou DOLLY ^__^
