#198 - don't forget to be
















general mood: quite content. reasons why: a) i finally caught up on doctor who...which i hadn't associated with for the last three weeks. ahhh the joy; b) major confidence/motivating boost today, i have some form of faith in myself ^^; c) had a well deserved period of procrastination/chilling for ~8 hours; d) i am getting a new (FINALLY, a touch) phone as a xmas + bday pressie. ie. white iphone 4. no more manual tedious and slow texting for me ever again :D  

thank you mother nature for finally raining, i was sizzling horribly in the morning.

pretty tree.
  
you know how it's spring now? well i just did 3 hours of spring cleaning. my room is so tidy now, it's a little weird. today, i've also learnt a painful lesson. always, always, do maths homework on the day i get it. i'm behind by 3 exercises, just did 1, and i want to weep at the many questions left to do, why the heck did i abandon this?!! must never do so again.

i was going to vent my spleen about something...but i'm not going to since this is supposed to be a rare happy post from me :)

#197-Buffer Week

9  more days til buffer week but hey whose counting.... speaking about counting 9 has something to deal with tomorrow but i'll let you ponder about its significance (not that i feel it being necessary to celebrate it).

anyhow a lot of the stuff i wanted to say has been said already by yours truly so just click here.
and because the teachers love bombading us students with knowledge, for the past week i've clocked up a carry weight max of 7kg a day (sigh- school is bulking up my muscles which is not a good thing)
part of my collection of resources. exams here i come!

#196 - 11/11/11

lest we forget. 
  

first task was horrendous, drastic, nasty, awful, difficult, everything horrible. i spent 5 precious minutes trying to figure out what the stimulus meant and how to answer it and finished just in the nick of time. okay, all the other times i was sad after, i was just being a worry wart. but seriously this time, i know i definitely stuffed up ): i don't think i really answered it right. i'm sort of over it now anyway, since it's done already. >>

varsity company -  i'm sorry but i do not want to be associated with your product.
ms k: *calls out my name*
me: i don't want one.
ms k: is it because of the price or the design?
me: both.
ms k: but it's year 12! the rest of the grade will be getting it. we do get a few free ones along with it as well. would you be interested? (i have no idea why you're assisting the company??!!!)
me: yeah but... i never really wanted a varsity.
ms k: so you don't want one even if it's free?
me: yup (well, duh, it's hideous and i can finally put my blazer to good use)

i simply don't want one. i don't feel the need to "belong" with the others to be recognised as seniors at all and neither do i  really care if everyone else has one and i don't. no one force me/nag/annoy the shit out of me to get one or be associated with it. yeah i can be unreasonable and obstinate, that's the way i am - but anyway don't piss me off by telling me repeatedly when i've said no.


on the other hand, cozy meet up at gloria jeans today!! i miss those friday hang outs, just chilling for a few hours before we all have to go back home. love you guys - s, r, w, v :')   

ugh. must force my lazy self to travel to redfern tomorrow. cannot wait until next friday is over, 7 days.

ancient research coming along nicely. it was quite the coincidental moment when i "noticed" rob at haymarket library ^^ and fail us at caps - the editing was all in japanese, and we wanted to reverse an action... but it ended up printing instead. barely any decorations, but oh well.



i adore you, indoctrinating sparta, but seriously, your art is so incredibly boring to such a large extent i actually just go to sleep instead of looking at you. really >:(

#195- Disturbia

okay so my maths class is notorious for being incredibly loud. we dont notice it though,....now what?
i think i shall just apologise on behalf of my class for restricting the learning experience of my fellow peers and for that i am sorry!

also i think i need to rant again about how the junior years are failing in mannerisms.
OMG the early parra bus was so packed and noisy, whenever a public passenger got on the bus i didnt even see one person offer their seat and this extends to the elderly ( to those people that this is directed to: stop being caught up in your own bubble and pay attention to your surroundings. hate to break it to you but the world does not revolve around you) so yeah whenever you see a junior being a stubborn fool on public transport do the right thing and tell them off! as for me: on this experience i was at the back so my voice was inaudible- if only i have better's volume and distinct voice

picture time:
birthday cake for maths teacher if you look closely theres a pi is written in icing
i would show you guys a better photo but for various reasons of protection i cannot

#194 - occupy syd. photojournalism & other stuff.

super quick post.
omgggg... i think i'm getting into jazz/soft pop/whatever now, michael bublé's voice...why is it so fine?! *swoons* and zomg. ORISINAL MUSIC... so lovelyyyy :') 

i need more time and sleep. i've been getting up at 6.40-8.30 for the past 2 weeks, and sleeping at like 12.30-4....so drained. end result: FINALLY 850 words after 5 days of proper work, and waste of 2 weeks. 1000 if i'm bothered to elaborate. i dislike how i sleep so easily on public transport (trains ftw.) and after school for a few good hours, but then i wake up totally groggy and pissed i've done nothing. and then at night, when i want to fall asleep, i need to wait for at least 20 minutes before i fall asleep. aaarghhhh.

why is there absolutely nothing on sparta, (even in the state library! such bs!)  but so much information on greece. don't tell me i actually have to buy the books online. >_>
martin place is so retro/funky/individualistic/cool. there's skateboarders, promotions, weird shows you see in mX, yesterday there was "occupy sydney" and like 10 police + riot cars and like 50 police on the scene... 

police/riot squad.



i actually don't really understand the whole OCCUPY thing around the world, except it's related to anti-capitalism, something like they're not the 1% who own 40% of the world's wealth... yeah i don't get it. i was listening to the organisers talk and my reaction was: "wtfffff"

quest in becoming the ULTIMATE HIPSTER... :P

#193- Reports

#192 - senior life

cutieee
this is what we do in ancient
derppppp. rats.




eng.

one eye big, one eye small =.=


beautiful spring purple flowers/whatever. <3

 caricature: sally & i; caricaturist: faizah  
my yummy BIG shrimp noodles




notes:
- the kettle in room 41 is encouraging everyone to get fat. ie. bring BIG cup noodles
- not getting a varsity. $90 and extremely fugly.
- wish for more time.
- the save-lots-of-money plan. *successful first week*.

additional notes 4/11: 
- humanities teachers are my favourites! they each have their own unique traits, tell funny stories (sometimes tmi), are sincere and just awesome. even when they don't even know me, and are unaware of stuff, they still help out so much. best teachers in the world! :') :')
- i feel so guilty for not being pink  but wow, prefects did an amazing job :D
-  what sort of justice is this (rubbish): interesting fact, the criminal justice system is a failure in achieving justice for individuals & society - just shortcomings after another. all the government does is continually ask for recommendations, review, release fancy schmanzy media statements that only make them look goodt, draft bills ... but then guess what? NOTHING HAPPENS, the draft bill just disappears into who knows where. ie. bail. why has nothing changed since 2009? it's 2 years on, ffs and i have only 1 legal measure *weeps* seriously how long does it take to amend stuff!




congrats to my cute FONGKY who bought 2 tickets and won 2 prizes :D
SUCH a cute daughter <333
hi, we must-ache you a question. (so cliche)

frees with the wifey(?)
cute daughter & son <3
