#94 - adventure! to the unknown... :D

today i went unsw w/ viv and others for a criminology lecture!
and ... can i say the journey was more eventful than the actual lecture, which was pretty good.
i changed at strathfield before 8 and saw a train to melbourne!! is that cool or what =D then i caught an intercity train (which was not that cool) to central and met viv (:
and prepay for buses = yukkk. we jumped onto the 391 (which was apparently prepaid T^T) and got off super early at anzac parade..and that was the worst decision we ever made. we ended up walking/jogging/sprinting around 5km to the uni in 40mins!! so tireddddd >< and passed syd boys+ girls- and omg, they actually are literally right next to each other =o oh and the worst part about walking on the highway was that we got laughed at by two bogan truckies..yeah screw them. the one who wasn't driving actually pointed out the window and laughed super loud. and we heard them, b/c there was a horrible traffic jam and there was like silence>_>
unsw was ...big and confusing. took us a while to find the elusive room 119. lecture was interesting, though i wouldn't really want to do criminology, and plus we got free food! ^^ and then the lecture finished and we had to go back to school...which was not so awesome, though i only had 1~ish period of ancient XD. oh and unsw isn't as pretty as syd uni, but the law faculty and library were niceeee (: and high school seems very lame and boring now, i can't wait til i can go uni ><
i need more adventures like today!
and achievement today: 7km in one day, i am so proud of myself :D

and NAMETAG LOVE !







P.S WHAT IS HAPPENING ON FRIDAY?!!

#93- Dreams

Dreams-its funny how at times we are ashamed by what we have dreamt. but my maths tutor knows no shame , so on saturday he goes up to me and says "hey bitter ^^ you know the other day i dreamt that i went to your school and visited your maths class and when i was there i saw you" and other nameless people who go to my tutor and are also in my maths class. is this creepy- i think so
speaking about maths and dreams, on that day we were learning about mathematical induction and about how if this day is called today then the next is is tomorrow but tomorrow never comes because when it becomes the next day then its today (: if you understand my weird logic, anyhow the point was later that day when i went to bed i dreamt about doing an induction question ><'' its quite depressing

baking =D baking with better and batter was fun, its always good to have our get togethers even without butter who ditched us ): but its for a good cause and hopefully japan can recover from everything that has happened because sweet (: is going there later this year i think and im also hoping to go to japan after hsc with viv because its our dream. speaking about aspirations something will happen on friday.... for those of you who are puzzled as to what is about to occur then wait til friday because i will post the answer

#92 - ANGRY BIRDS & ANGRY ME

zomg i really really really hate change.
and so far i've only written 94 words in around 3 hours..fail ):
gahhhh
english you will be the death of me!!!!
and during the wonderful adventures i had while procrastinating; i discovered:



"is this just some sort of game to you?"
"nooo!!" *shifty look* "...yes.."
get it?!! :D
loooll. i'm not such a big fan of the game, though..i just found the whole concept of it being a trailer funny :3

NOW DIEEE ENGLISH :@:@:@:@

#91- friday

my fridays shall be forever tainted because of a certain song that has been roaming the world wide web = .='' to be honest i dont see the value/worth in such fail song but i suppose we all like to laugh at someone making a fool out of themselves. anyhow i shall leave you guys with a fun fact that i discovered on my friend's tumblr

 and i decided to add this for the lols =D

#89- a sad sad day

okay first of all sweet im posting like once a day oO {i think this is a first}
anyhow i shall start with yesterday when better and i were rejected by butter [oh in a sense batter was rejected too but lets ignore her for now] because she completely overlooked us and decided to invite someone else for a baking get together. On tuesday outreach is having a cake stall  in order to raise funds for japan so yeah buy lots of food guys!  for butter's bday i bought her some sifts because it was something that she lacked anyhow theres 3 of them in the pack that i bought one for bitter, one for butter and one for better but unfortunately i wont be there for the inaugural dessert ):

the second sad moment occurred today when a certain someone accidently opened a glass door and it just so happened to hit me in the forehead ): i also managed to hit myself with a racquet as well ):  and today i experienced an eventful train journey. it all began by arriving at the station  at 3:26 and well this is a first for me so newly acquired 'bro', fellow train buddy and i caught a train without knowing it was an express train ): we ended up running frantic through ******** station in order to catch the connecting train back because it literally arrived as our train arrived ): confined spaces ):

oh and yesterday was pot's bday so happy bday!

#88 - a better day: timeless

yep (:
-hbd porshy <3
-studying progress: 50% :DD
-first real camera coming soooooooon
-ephiphany: i sort of enjoy chem?!
-mckay came second in xcountry, helllllyeahhhh!

downsides:
-4 hours of sleep = dead tired and super heavy eyelids for two hours
-ancient is the most dullest subject ever >< not sure if it's the teacher who's boring but good, or the subject material

~since the blog address is timeless--memoirs, the last part of this post shall be dedicated to this amazing vid by my fav pianist and composer:

KYLE LANDRY - Timeless



it really catches the timeless concept... and it lifts your soul up on a bad day (: and i adore him even more for headbanging (yes, headbanging to piano music :P) and that's REAL music. not "friday" by rebecca black=='

relatives coming tomorrow!

#87- the cab ride

Yes ,even a Cabby can be giving & kind , can U ?

 please take the time to read this even tho it looks extremely long cos this story is really touching and thank you to my aunty crystal in singapore for forwarding this story to me =D

A WONDERFUL STORY: THE CAB RIDE

The Cab Ride.

  I arrived at the address and honked the horn.
 after waiting a few minutes I walked to the door and knocked... 'Just a minute, answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.


 After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.

 By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.
 
 There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
 
 'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, and then returned to assist the woman.
 
 She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.
 
 She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her... 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.'
 'Oh, you're such a good boy, she said.. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?'

 'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly...
 
 'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.

 I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice... 'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

 'What route would you like me to take?' I asked.

 For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
 
 We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

 Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

 As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now'.
 
 We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.

 Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
 They must have been expecting her.

 I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
 
 'How much do I owe you?'
 She asked, reaching into her purse.

 'Nothing,' I said
 
 'You have to make a living,' she answered.

 'There are other passengers,' I responded.
 
 Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

 'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said.
 'Thank you.'
 
 I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light... Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life...

 I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift?
 What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
 
 On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.

 We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.

 But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

 It's the little things that mean the most.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID ~BUT~ THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL….

#86 - crushed all over :(

hi there, troll. is it joanna?!! i like your poo (y)(y)

mondays are always sad and depressing for me =[
maths is difficult..i can't handle it at all. and it's only two units, which is supposed to be really easy.i think i'm just stupid, it takes me years to understand concepts and finish hw and i never improve, while other people are so much faster and better. the first most sad and depressing thing in my life today (and most days)
chem test was a horrible fail-zone. i did poorly. i just know it =( the second sad thing in my life.
studying progress: 5% :'( maths consumed me! four hours wasted doing exercises :( :(
AND
false hope. i hate it. yesterday my dad said he was going to get his relatives who are coming over on wednesday to buy a dslr from japan and bring it with them. so i was like yayyyyy! finally! a good camera in the house! and then when i come home today, he's all like, "oh actually, we're not buying, it's only 200 cheaper in japan, and you have to study so you have no time to use it, then your mum will complain about it just sitting there unused and piling up on other 'junk' in the house and there's always a new model coming out if you just wait." ???!!!!!?!?!!?!?!?! i would use it, love it, adore it, and pay for it (if i had enough money)! i feel so sad and frustrated even though he just told me he would still buy one eventually. false hope=crushed and devastated soul *stabs a fat squishy toy*

#84 - :))

pot's party today (y)(y) saw bitter today after so long <33333 i missed our friday meetups and talking sessions :( she was so small and short and daisy duck-ish today ^^ muahahah
and studying motivation. mine is: short term pain, long term gain~ sounds good (y) but unfortunately, being me, i'm very motivated but procrastination just kills me.
damnit.
must hardcore study 12 hours tomorrow for a really big tutoring test and finish three damn exercises of maths =[
anddd recently i just heard from my dad that his relative's family are coming to live at our house on wednesday and staying for 2 weeks! they live in japan =o but they're trying to get away from the radiation >< and something super cool: the kids are fluent in japanese, and they have jap names. wowowowowowowowowowowow.

five days of hardship, starting from tomorrow;
and a big thank you to porshy for the lovely presents (and party) <3

#83- study hard, party hard

so after a recent encounter with butter's sister i have adopted her motto that is study hard, party hard because life should be enjoyed despite all the troubles that we face [okay i sound like so philophical person] yet we shouldn't lose track of reality either and therefore we must please our parents by getting high atars. as i post right now after just getting back from one party i shall be hardcore tmr before preparing for another party =D

so glad that donald and daisy duck's head wear arrived yesterday, thank you to aforementioned person who went to all the effort also i saw sweet (: today and other people ~sigh i miss the good old days T^T

#82 - maths.......?

"the beauty of mathematics" =)/=(
music was good~~~ the third song sounded like he's a pirate ;D made maths sound fun when it's actually...not
number patterns are pretty cool, BUT:
i'm still very unfazed by the vid's preaching
i don't believe He had anything to do with mathematics
and i don't think letters replaced by numbers give off a certain percentage, it just doesn't work, like: bullshit =103%. don't tell me it beats hard work, knowledge and love of god...?
no offence to christians/catholics (i forgot the difference ><)
and speaking of maths, maths test! <- epic fail
there goes 10 marks out the window already >_>

dear maths :

#81- The beauty of mathematics

and no i shall not rant about how much i love maths *cough cough* but instead watch this vid guys

okay i know sweet isnt that religious but well i believe that faith and religion is an important part of people's lives including mine so even if you dont believe in God this vid is cool yeah =D

#80 - sad sad life

what i need:
36 hours in a day
- 8 hours school
- 16+ hours sleep (MOST IMPORTANT)
- 5 hours for procrastinating
- 7 hours cramming
yes. my life has turned out to be this depressing D:



^ i wish i was her :( best place to sleep ever!

#79- free stuff

okay short post today because i have been meaning to hardcore english; and in saying that it shall eventuate in me handing in a practice essay on the human condition hopefully for next week because yr 12's currently have a practice essay due as well and well they are priority~ sigh

shall not get side-tracked by english - shifty. so today when i got home and looked through the mail i saw an oddly coloured envelope saying FREE GLAD SAMPLE at first i didnt think much of it but then i was like =O free stuff =D yes me being a typical asian aside from all my asian-like lunches. i had dumplings today, they were nice and batter didnt get to steal any because i had a pilot meeting so yay! im thinking of starting up a Q&A so ask away~

#78 - early morning ramblings

yeahhhhh creative writing is finished! after a whole day of pure effort! 1300 words... but i actually like my story ^^ yayyyyy
oh and japan :( the world is so harsh. first, qld floods, cyclone yasi, nz, now japan =[ i think it's as punishment for killing off mother nature bit by bit, and no people, the world will NOT end in 2012. anyway, hope japan gets better, so it'll still be there when i visit it for the first time in like..nine months! :)
and time for a nice long rant:
MOSQUITOES are the most detestable insects ever, even more detestable than those annoying tiny bugs that crawl onto textbooks and exercise books that eventually lose their life to me, when i whack them and their gory remains end up on the books.
on friday night i slept at 9 (earliest sleep time in like..7 years) and woke up at 2am to the sound of a bloody mosquito buzzing right next to my ear. now for me, that was the most annoying sound i have ever heard in my entire life at that moment. i wanted to weep..for my lost sleep :@ :@ :@
and my forehead, second finger on my right hand and my elbow had ridiculously large bites. i scratched them..then played with the touch for ten minutes, heard the buzzing again, and ...was on the verge of tears. i put my touch down and put my head under the blanket, even though it was freaking hot, just to avoid that blood-sucking !@$#%^

then I woke up at 9 in the morning, and felt wonderful. til my mum tells me one of my eyelids are swollen. so i look in the mirror and i see - a horrible horrible looking swollen ultra fat eyelid that has decreased the size of my small right eye even further :( apparently mosquitoes do bite on your eyelid too ==' thankfully it's gone down now, but i can still feel the swollen-ness of my lid and i am not happy jan. i sprayed on aeroguard excessively, just to make sure that low life parasite does not come near me.
i hope mosquitoes can go burn in hell.
on the other hand: check out the new and rather obscure button to the right, i found it when i was browsing through random blogs. and yes i will obey the pledge, it's not for show - i love the printed word - newspapers, books, advertisements, anything except eng. texts (L) don't have too much time to read unfortunately ):
and i hate it when sunday ends. monday ..! T^T

#77- How to use public transport

okay well most people know how to use public transport so if you are one of them then just ignore this post. so i shall now rant on about trains and buses. okay so first of all if you are having trouble planning your journey then i suggest that you go to 131500.com because it is very useful
tip #1- plan in advance. it saves time and although it may seem as though you are over-prepared you wont be called a noob =D
tip #2- if you are catching a bus buy a mybus its cashless and if you buy a travel ten (i.e. for those that catch a bus frequently or not... because there is no expiry date) it saves you $$$$ / if you catch a train then get a timetable because at least you wont be going to the station mindlessly waiting for the next train or if you have a itouch, iphone or android then you can go to 131500 [im integrating technology (: ]
tip #3 - completely unrelated but have a travelling companion, it kills time and is a great way to bond

and i currently cbb to think or any other tips but ill mention them sometime. okay now this is directly at V so i f you want to get to towers from parra then catch the 600 (bus) its the fastest way possible as for from the city then theres the 610, 619 or the M-buses they all come often so if you miss one then dont worry.

today my maths tutor randomly gave us a test; it was baulko half-yearly 2009. i think i did well cos i got every question except 1 but usually when i have a good feeling about tests it equivalates to a bad result{ well not really i just am somewhat disappointed thats all}. i also realised today that i am a sad kid; i was so happy after proving this one question using a cheat method ~ sigh i am also somewhat of a list person. i seem to write down all homework or practice essays that i have due and cross them off one by one. so far i have a total of 6 tasks on my to do list and i have not finished a single one T^T so i shall be off and i will not procrastinate by spending too much time on blogger so til next time~

#76 - halfway to freedom

and sing me a love song again
say the words that heal my heart
sing me Your love song and then
let Your words remind me who i am

christian songs are so wonderfully meaningful...everytime i listen i feel like i should convert over.. ><
and now i wish time would stop flying away from me so easily. i have so little time to relax on weekdays :( damn you, immense homework load. damn you. *rages*
[the next part is going to be train related...again, so sorry in adv,]
train was delayed by 38 mins today <_< apparently some guy at petersham decided to "self harm" himself and cut the power or something >.>
and .. i just realized i haven't posted anything sweet, which is rather ..=| since my name is supposed to be sweet. hmm, maybe this pic?? :D CUTENESS OVERLOAD MUCH?! IT'S HOLDING ITS PAW OUT TO ME, AWWWWW >O<




and something really beautiful, amazing photomanipulation *O*




now wasn't that sweet and totally not a grumpy post! (:
and now i think i'm going to post up random dA pics in all my posts :D

#75 - I wish

i wish i would stop procrastinating and eventually finish all the stuff that i set out to do
i wish my homework load will decrease
i wish i could grow taller
i wish i would stop feeling tired
i wish i can stop falling asleep after reading a textbook on my bed and then oversleeping
i wish i wasnt so clumsy
i wish i could get to know you better
i wish i was smarter and used time more efficiently
i wish i can change things and make a difference
i wish for someone to understand me
i wish for happiness
i wish i could be more optimistic
i wish the world would stop judging me cos this is me!

 - end of rant{well not really}

#74 - monday ==

so today i did the first assessment of the year - bio skills exam.
everything was going well and i was making good speed until killen decides to tell us ten minutes before it's over that she's given us too much time and we actually have 5 minutes left. WTFFF. so i screwed up the last question worth 20% of the test thanks to that crazy rush of bs-ing in the last moments.
and weather is horrible. it's 15 degrees in the morning so it makes you wear a jumper and extra clothing but as soon as it hits 9am, bam. you end up boiling all over ==
and today it seems like i had double maths and double bio so -
i will just emphasise on something: mondays suck.

#73- for better or worse

first of all i would like to apologise to better for a late birthday shout this was because sweet decided to neglect this blog *tsk tsk* anyhow well better.. i have known you for like 6 years now and well i'd just like to mention to everyone about how i forgot you for a period of time- ehehehehe but yeah HAPPY16 =D you read my card so yeah no need to say more and also thank you for being the loud and annoying person that you are [lol jks]!
so today we started off by going to this french cafe at parra and the crepe i ordered was so nice and butter, better and i were so full unlike batter who still felt hungry [ you monster], then it was off to commenorate todays celebration with some photos before me and butter shopped whilst better and batter grocery shopped >> then dnm time =D lol and some crazy encounters with people ^^ park was fun- butter and i took the scenic route when playing sardines and buffet- well i was still stuffed from crepes but the games were enjoyable especially preparing theo's specially made dessert from the awesome foursome! 2 cakes today = uber fat me = sadface = time to go hardcore exercise~ sigh

#72 - i write too much about trains

only blogging b/c bitter will rage fire and hell if i don't post soon and i have no intention to be on the receiving end of those rages>< unfinished core homework awaits me... and more T_T
anyway, onto unrelated-to-school-things: sometime this week on the train i saw a guy in his 60s who had a shiny bald head. well you're probably like.. well that's interesting *sarcasm*. but wait. he had two long scary-looking earrings on his left ear. seriously. fact: old men with earrings, particularly those with a very shiny bald head, aren't cool and hip yo.
oh and is it just me who finds trains are nice on cold days and make you fall asleep really easily? (long train rides!) i'm sitting upright so when i'm very sleepy, i find myself leaning sideways onto..whatever's on the side without a care ie. some random's shoulder yesterday :3 well almost. i snapped myself out of the half-awake-half-asleep state just in time and noticed disgusted? disapproving? looks from people sitting opposite me. and a silent dirty from the person i was about to sleep on. go me.
and graffiti-fied cityrail maps that have stations circled and "shithole" next to them are strangely fascinating. and i have become a seasoned pro at the carriage numbers game :D

#71- How to procrastinate like a hardcore asian ^^

okay well this shall be a very short post because im sure we all have our own form of procrastination that suits us and also because i am currently attempting to start my english hw and trying to find university style analysis of this short story that i want to do for my supplementary text but all i seem to find is essay in which i have to pay =. = but im too cheap so no way!
anyhow back onto the topic of procrastination  aka
The act of postponing, delaying or putting off, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness [ believe it or not but when you type define: procrastination into google you will find spongebob squarepants] but the point of this post is that you shouldnt delay the inevitable because you shall all regret it later on which means i should finally start my english hw T^T and this is a fail post cos i didnt even educate you all - sorry
BUT BUT BUT i promise to educate you all on something which i have extensive knowledge and experience in which is.... public transport so if anyone has any questions please leave a message in the shoutbox so i can answer them in my next post or else ill start rambling on about public transport

#70 - facepalm story

i experienced three facepalm-worthy moments today.
i called three different people by other people's names..... omg.
*squirms in embarrassment* T___T now they all hate me.. i think my brain is dead :(

and something i kept forgetting to mention is: the story of the awkward turtle(like for real). apparently the person who invented it is someone close to me: MS KWIET - the super coolest and funniest legal/histories teacher ever with a law degree (y). around 4 years ago she was doing the awkward turtle motion to one of her students (she always does weird hand motions) and he said it looked awkward. and a few weeks later he tells her all his friends did the hand motion and said it looked like a turtle. hence, the awkward turtle was born, and these days it's known internationally (:
and yayy for autumn

#69- How to .... use Blogger!

okay so this is my latest idea after the i is sad ): series which is titled the how to ....series which shall feature a bunch of micellaneous posts.hopefully i will educate all you lovely people about something starting with BLOGGER now lately there have been a bunch of people more so noobs aka my friends who are joining blogger yet they dont know how to use it ><

so i shall now teach you all on how to put a shoutbox, cbox, shoutmix, etc basically i dont care what you prefer but the method is still the same so first of all you go to your dashboard

 then click design for all you blind people i have circled it and even drew an arrow- awww arent i nice =D

 then click add a gadget once again its circle, you should a window pop up then scroll down till you find....

 html/java script then click on that

 and finally complete the last step yeah sorry but blogger seems to have a problem with my screenshots so yeah... copy and paste the code and dont forget to save these changes

and that concludes the how to use blogger post, the next how to installment shall be how to procrastinate like a hardcore baulko kid or asian ^^ depends on my mood
