PRICELESS

2009-01-19T19:56:00.006+11:00

BEST DAY OF 09 (so far).

I LOVE YOU GUYS. :D

YOU KNOW IT "BRA OF SHS ;D "

I will blog properly as soon as I finished shaking (:

EDIT:
Today, left the house at 7am to get to Martin Place with Carmen and Steph at 8am to find out that sunrise team was at Melbourne. But there was still one of the presenters at the studio and there was a split glimpse of Martin Place on TV. ;D So it wasn’t that much of a waste. LOL

Soon enough, met up with the rest of the crew (Dez, Wendy, Vick, Ang, David) where we left to go to get some Maccas for breakie. We had many detours. RESERVE BANK ANYONE? Along the way, some firemen took our money which we “happily donated”. Afterwards we hit the 7store which we had some fun ;D.

Eventually we arrived to the “State Library” where we certainly had some fun which included myself spending about 2-3hrs being the photocopying machine at the photocopying machine… ;D. By the time, we got hungry and spent $50 worth of photocopying; we decided it was a day. Along the way to townhall for some lunch, we met up with Cindy with our Y-M-C-A greeting. There were so many stores along the way that just makes you want to drool. YUMMMY TIFFANY & CO.

We ate at Ichiban and had some fancy conversations. We soon said our goodbyes to Cindy (wished she could have stayed longer. But next time for sure). We made a stop at Kino to find nothing interesting/worth buying.

Next we decided to go on the Monorail (being my first time and all). Damn was it fun or what? We did some awesome dancing, singing, shuffling, yelling, scaring people away, waving to randoms. Whatever comes to your mind, we did it. We were immature and having fun. That’s what was awesome.

After FIVE (or more, lost count) trips on the monorail around the city, we decide to get off at the Darling site where we still continued our fun and dancing our way to Harbourside. After reaching Harbourside, we sat down for some Gloria Jeans where we had some EXTREME FUN which included ourselves eating packets of sugar including the packaging – yes, the paper. HAHA. We were on a Monorail and Gloria Jeans? REALLY? WOAHHH. THE LIGHTS. LOL

Even though I felt our extreme behavior scared the rest of the public away, I was having fun with my FWB (family without the blood) LOL. And that’s all that matters to me. We finally got to Townhall where we decided to say our goodbyes after one last trip on the train together as a happy bunch of people (:

Note: I had an amazing day which will keep me happy for the next few months. I want to thank everyone that was a part of my day today. You guys make my day, every day for being my FWB. LOL. Yes it’s my new thing. And after a total of about 500 pictures from all the cameras today, I can assure you that we will remember this day.

I see you guys soon at “BRAS HIGH SCHOOL” .

PEACE OUT and have some strawberry kisses ;D
(A few photos that highlights the day)

WOAH - 2009 ! :D

2009-01-12T07:57:00.004+11:00

Basically, I’ve felt the need to blog since everyone else is complaining or questioning the reason for the lack of update? The truth is… I’M LAZY. HAHAHA :D . Who likes dotpoints? I certainly do. I think my brain isn’t able to comprehend large paragraphs about nothing. Hence I shall commence with the dotpoints summarising my holidays thus far:

I’ve been out (of the house) 16 days since holidays started
Approx $900 has been spent
Irregular sleeping and eating habits
Homework and assignments = very little (but working on it now).
1st Annual Amazing Race = 8th Jan
Y-M-C-A!
190 hoops thrown = nothing won. LOL
Jumped into random people’s photos ;D
Cityrail has became a good friend
A total of 6 people I know have celebrated their 17th birthday thus far
My new AF1s = my love
Surviving traumatising train experiences. HAHA
Over 100 txt messages have been sent around
Planning for post-HSC (already)
Ice-cream has became my best friend and worst enemy at the same time
Have lost voice several times by excessive karaoke-ing
My love for air hockey has returned (:
Heaps of photos taken yet none using my camera. xD
HAVING SUPER DUPER MEMORABLE FUN WITH ALL MY BELOVED FRIENDS :D

Right now its 8am, I have had very little sleep. Sorry about my lack of thought and I shall update the list as soon as more things come to mind and probably by the end of the holidays where I officially can finish off the list by things I might do in the next few days. Hope everyone is making the most of these holidays before we conquer HSC 09 together in a few weeks.

See you all soon. (hopefully)

VICKVACIOUS!

Have a smashing day, dear Vicky!

LAYOUT 006!

2009-01-02T23:04:00.003+11:00

I've been half-slaving, half-sleeping my way through this layout. So I'm not really up for a big explanation of everything. Yey for summaries and stuff.

You need to let the page load completely before clicking on the tabs.
I wasn't sure what to put in the header, so I stuck with the "dictionary definitions".
To see the pageviews, etc., you'll need to click on Links.
I've ditched monthly archives but I'll bring them back on request.
Apart from that, nothing else has changed much.
Tested in FF3+, comment if there's anything dodgy on your comp.

I'm going to collapse from exhaustion now. Kthnxbai~

GREEN?!?

Goodbye 2008.
Welcome 2009.
(I hope you will treat me better than 2008 did.)

POKEMON FEEEEEEEVER.

2008-12-28T17:04:00.002+11:00

Last night, I stayed up trading Pokemon through the Global Trade Station (I love my wireless net). I didn't sleep until 10AM this morning, and I don't regret it! I got heaps of awesome Pokemon for Pokemon I bred with Ditto. 8) I've got another hundred Pokemon to go until I really "catch them all".

So yes. Since we're a bite bone-dry on posts (a big @_@ to the one below this one), I'm going to visually portray the Pokemon I've named people. xD
All the following images are drawn by the Pokemon artist, and the little sprite are actually from the game. Legggggit, bro.
Pokemon who have been rejected have links on their names, if you're interested in seeing the bigger picture.

Angela is Tangela.
(Her whole name is encompassed!)

Carmen is Chingling.
(She didn't like Magikarp, haha.)

Celia is Spheal.

David is Whiscash.

Edim is Slugma.
(Credits to Hanh!)

Hanh is Teddiursa.

Hong is Smoochum.
(More subtle than Jynx, eh?)

Howard is Eevee.

Jason is Typhlosion.

Julie is Misdreavus.

Karen is Riolu.

Kim is Cresselia.

Maxine is Budew.

Margaret is Skitty.

Melissa is Happiny.
(Or any of its evolutions.)

Mimi is Dratini.
(Nawwwww.)

Quyen is Cherubi.

Shirley is Aipom.

Stephanie is Corphish.
(After she refused Mime. Jr!)

Vicky is Flareon.

Wendy is Pichu.

Yvonne is Quagsire.
(Or Wooper.)

And if anyone is curious, Jason's named me Cubone.

Which is the lonley Pokemon. T_T

Angela admits to being gay

The Last Day of School 2008.

2008-12-20T19:18:00.005+11:00

I don't think I should venture into the whole "this year was such an awesome year, we experienced lows and highs .." coz it's not the end of the calendar year yet.
Rather, I'm here to post my thoughts from yesterday.

I wasn't there in the morning, so I can't report much on that. Though I'll say that me being late was a result of staying up late wrapping presents.
At recess, I received my Secret Santa present from Maxine. Yey. ^^ Melissa gave out her Christmas cards, proudly proclaiming that she had reached 9000 words at the end of the last card. Jolly good. (Y) Vicky gave out chocolate lollipops, and someone handed around Gummi Burgers (I forget who).
For second period, Advanced student (probably less than twenty of us altogether) trooped over to the Multimedia room to watch the end of Blade Runner. Half the class was at the very back of the room playing Poker, and Hong was laughing at freaky robot thing when Deckard was looking for Pris.
During third period, a majority of classes were out on the back grass area playing cricket. Allen's 3U class and some wanderers played Pictionary.
At lunch, about a third of us left for something more exciting than fourth period under the supervision of a casual. For those of us who stayed, we bundled into the prefect room. More Poker ensued, my PSP and Mimi's DS were being passed around and I attempted consuming some of the Toblerone (to no success, really). When the bell rang for fourth period, no teachers were making a move to organise the three-hundred or so Seftoners. As more time passed, we accepted that we were having lunch until school was out and that there would be no fourth period afterall.

The photos below were taken towards the end of the day, in a five-minte period.

Mimi hides from the camera a lot. ;___;

Gavin and Richard having a D&M.

Mimi, Vicky, Carmen and Maxine
check out Vicky's scrapbook from Mimi.

*As above.

Yvonne plays Tekken on my PSP.

Here's wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday. :)
I hope Santa is more than generous for all of you!
<3

Hey, watch out!

2008-12-13T22:44:00.003+11:00

They're here. At last. I spent all this arvo editing them. No more complaining of "where are the videos from Hong's and Lunar Park?" and "no one's posted on Phot!k for ages!".

HONG'S PARTY.

LUNAR PARK EXCURSION.

Anyone up for a new layout yet?

COMMENT/TAG
so I know! D;<

LUNNNNNNAR PARK.

2008-10-29T21:03:00.005+11:00

Let us all admit that I'm a lazy blogger. :) Yes. Okay. Now that we've got that off our chests ..

On Friday 24th October 2008,
Physicists of Class of '09
went to
LUNAR PARK.

The group (Hong, Jason, Linda, Mimi, Melissa, Shirley L., Vicky and I) stuck together through screams, pleas (to 'get me the fxck outta this thing!') and overall excitement on the day. :)

On ze bus ride there~

Having more than the prescribed amount of fun with 3D glasses at IMAX.

Hello, Lunar.
Woman or man?

Hong and Sandy as 'Grandma and young boy' (LOL).

Wendy and Mel as 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'. (Y)

Shirley and Vicky. Newlyweds. :D

Just before the Ranger had us weak in the stomach.

DODGEM CARS.
Hi-larious Hong could not drive, let alone dodge. She crashed well though.

Waiting for a carriage on the Ferris Wheel.

Hong and Mel board ~~a romantic ride for two~~.

The VIEW. 8D

And this is the time when we got on the bus, according to this clock.

I have more photos, but they're basically a whole bunch of Hong crashing at the Dodgem Cars, views from the Ferris Wheel and more of Hong as she waves at the camera on the Ranger.

VIDEOS?
Why yes. There are three short ones actually.

But.

I'm CAPPED.
D8(
So no videos until next month.
And that's assuming if I'm bothered. (A)

Cheerio!

Photos from Hong's!

2008-10-09T20:56:00.008+11:00

Another batch of outstanding photos! (And not in the complimentary sense either .. Or ARE they?) ;O And in case you wanted to know, they're in chronological order. :D

David: YESSSSSS, the last Malteaser!

Spells TRAPY on good days.

Mimi: Jennifer is gay.

Playing either I Never or Truth or Dare.

Yeah, I have no idea what she's doing with the knife either.

Cake numero uno.

As per usual ...
I'll HAVE VIDEOS UP SOON!
If you know me well enough, you'll know that I like to edit vids. :D

BONDI BEACH VIDEO!

2008-10-07T14:27:00.002+11:00

Shuddup, shuddup.

OMGOMGOMG I HAD THE BEST DAY YESTERDAY~
Thank you everyone for such an awesome day and especially to Mel and Carmen for organising it ^____^

Well, here it is from my perspective:

Went to Cabra station in the morning to meet Jeff. (who lives in Bondi, btw. THANKYOUU for coming all the way down to make sure I don't get lost x___o) Agreed to meet everyone else at the beach, so got a free tour of Bondi Junction before taking the bus there.

Found our biig group at the beach and got yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" at. Got a pretty bouquet shoved at me. Turns out they decided to surprise-celebrate my bday nine months late, since I was overseas during my real birthday. Which was really very sweet of them. THANKYOU GUYS SO MUCH x333 YOU TOTALLY MADE MY HOLIDAYS.

Spent a fun few hours at the beach, and since I'm feeling particularly unintelligent after oversleeping today, I'm going to have to use dotpoints:
- Everyone got soaked splashing around in the waves - all except Jen and Angela, who just defeated the entire purpose of going to the beach. (JEN: You've obviously have yet to experience the joy of sandcastle building.)
- Tossed a frisbee around for a bit and stopped when we hit this sunbathing woman like three times. She raged. x_____x
- Ate salt and sand-wiches (Hahah Steph)
- Got dunked in the rockpools (no thanks to Jeff and Maxine..)
- Watched everyone else make human pyramids!
- Lazed around chatting, eating, taking pics, watching Tina (Jen's 5yr old sister)

Steph, Carmen and I went back to Mel's place afterwards, since they were sleeping over. Yvonne came afterwards. Ate, talked, and ate more. Then all of a sudden they brought out a cake with SIXTEEN sparklers stuck onto it~! ..I love you guys xD. Yvonne gave me a giant framed puzzle of pony which she had made herself.

Everyone was totally exhausted by the end of the day.

Well, I still am. I'd just like to say thankyou again for everything and I love you all :D

JEN'S PHOTOS
(As requested by Vicky MANYMANYTIMES)

VIDEOS TOMORROW!
Watch me (Jen) spazz out and the several attempts at the human pyramid! 8D

LOVE.

2008-09-30T13:31:00.005+10:00

Just popping in to say:

CONGRATS VICK AND JEFF :D

It's not everyday you find a guy that Vicky likes (Y). Good work vick! HAHAHS.

Ps. I will see you all tmrs!

We completed YEAR 11! :)

After our final exam, it finally hits you that we have officially finished off the "Preliminary Course" which means technically a year has come to an end. Hence, I felt now is a good time to reflect on this very emotional year that we have endured together.

Obviously, there were some very happy moments and some moments that we just want to forget. I felt that this year has given us a feel of what our futures hold for us. We've come to the realisation that we are going to be separated with the different choices we make for our future and the range of dreams that we are hoping to fulfill. Over the course of the year, I had my doubts on the chances that I will stick to the friends I have now. But one thing reassured me was that even though we weren't in many classes to each other and there were times we didn't see each for days due to exams, that after everything we still had the time to have a group chat online or have lunch together.

There were some very emotional times that we shared together this year. From failing exams to family problems. But in the end, we stuck by each other sides. What I've learnt about friendship is that you have to love and be able to accept that everyone has their own flaws. No one is perfect. I feel very appreciative that I have some great friends that I absolutely feel comfortable with and that I know that they will be always there to catch me when I fall.

Some of the best memories I have had this year includes:
- Stephanie at swimming carnival with her "six pack" :)
- Our "ice-cream" adventures at school
- Our online chats and quizzes
- Isketch and Pictionary
- Camp
- Birthday Party : HELIUM FUN :D
- Carmen getting called a fool by Alan.
- Our group songs :D
Thats all I can think of at the moment, can YOU think of anymore ?

"Sometimes when you're young you think nothing can hurt you. It's like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big Plans. To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get older you realise it's not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realise how the plans you made where simply plans. Because at the end when you're looking back instead of forward you want to believe you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe you're leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered." - One Tree Hill

Prefect Body.

2008-09-16T20:20:00.003+10:00

Congrats to Melissa for making it into the prefect body! :D
We know you'll do us proud. ;)

Soso people, what are your thoughts on prefects of 2009? :D Did whoever you vote for make it in? :)
I was expecting a different group of people, but times change, haha.

LAYOUT 005!

2008-09-07T00:01:00.004+10:00

At long FRIGGIN' last.

Ain't it so much prettier now? Actually feels like a blog instead of some desolate site lurking on a foggy shore. o_____o But anyway.
Took me hours, it did. Should be studying for the Prelims like every other sane person out there. OH WELL. (A)

The music player is back, ladies and gentlemen. :D And that's why it lags a little when you first access the blog. Oh, and the site stats take a while to load too. I can't centre the hit counter for the life of me. ;______;

I still have some stuff to add so that it extends past a few colours and html counts. xD Shall be back some other time. (Y)

Does anyone object to the extra waiting time?
And does the layout fit onto your screen without stretching the page horizontally?

Stuff I'd never gotten around to typing up

2008-09-05T21:18:00.007+10:00

Yonder, it's an update!

PICTIONARY! - you know you love it. I think we all know how creative(?) phot!k can get with our in-class scribbles. EMPH celebrity pictionary will deffo remain a highlight- nevermind that we got like six entries, it was so fun making them (btw, is anyone going to upload those pics..?). Alot of our page margins are crammed with these doodlies (which I'll blame when I fail my prelims because of not paying enough attention in class), chem terms, people's names, etc. Nothing shall escape our bored pun-making minds. Where there's a will, there's a way right? Imma actually post up a few that we did, when I can kick my scanner into working. Heheh. We are so lame x3.

Also.. well, no also. MAY TYPE UP MORE LATER x_____x MUST RETURN TO TWILIGHT AND EDWARD CULLEN.
Mr. Darcy just became redundant.

Have you ever had that feeling that something or someone was missing in your life? I have. After a long week, I think what I have been missing in my life. Religion. That’s right. Even though it might sound really corny and everything but I think it’s something that I can be passionate about and find meaning in my life with. I have never taken religion seriously my whole life but with learning religion and school and witnessing some of joys of religion, I feel so different about it now.

The excursion to the mosque and church on Thursday and RICE has made such a big impact on me. Basically to recount RICE (last night) in a few sentences, Tania and her husband invited Jennifer and me to RICE. I saw Gary, Tina and Boran there. Well basically with the whole rally, I was moved to tears at certain points just watching how more than 4000 youths can come together and feel so passionate about something. It was just an amazing feeling and atmosphere.

Personally, I grew up in a Buddhist family. But I never really understood what it meant to follow and be faithful to a religion. I had always felt a connection with Buddhism and Christianity but never followed through. However, at this point in my life, I feel that I want to know more. I want to give my faith to both these religions. TWO RELIGIONS? IS THAT POSSIBLE? -- I hear you ask. For myself, I feel that most religions have many things in common and are all linked to each in someway. That is why I have challenged myself to find that inner balance between Buddhism and Christianity.

Enough of all this serious business, I shall tell you something I have also realised in myself more than anything. At RICE, having more than 4000 people present and half of them beings males, I am just not attracted to anyone around our age but instead older guys. Not old wrinkly men who are like 20 years older than me. But guys that are like 2-4yrs older than me. Also the guys there were even cuter just because it’s so nice to see some guys that are so passionate about religion and faith.

LOVE.

Since the majority of Phot!ans are doing Pictionary, we've been playing iSketch like there's no tomorrow! 8D Kudos to Viick for starting both last night's and tonight's sessions.

Anyway. Here's a screenshot of the last few moments of tonight's game. Cindy (hongkongstar) and Viick already left, and you can guess who the last player is, LOL.

I'll do more screenshots as we play more games. Hoping to get some of awesome
iSketching and some really .. "WTF" ones, LOL.

Did anyone watch SYTCD on friday night? WOAH. Katee and Joshua contemporary nearly got me to tears! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Here is the clip if you missed it:

While on youtube, I found this clip too. It is probably the most random thing but it was funny to see how some things have changed so much over a period of 8 years.

With Olympics being the only thing on television, there hasnt been much to do. The only event i watch is the SWIMMING. I LOVE IT! (: MICHAEL PHELPS is amazing. And its a shame that Hackett only came second in his own race - 1500m. It could have been 3 years consecutively. I love Steph Rice ;D

Anyway on friday night, there was a house fire near my house. It was quite scary. If anyone wants to read about it, here's a link to an article: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/frantic-rescue-bid-fails-to-save-man/2008/08/16/1218307309544.html
Its such a shock because you dont see such events happen everyday. I witnessed bits and pieces of it.

LOVE.

2008-08-13T16:45:00.003+10:00

Thought of the day: Everyday, we become a little more older. And with that little change in personal growth, you realise that a part of you is different everyday whether it is a physical or mental thing. Recently, I have been listening to some of the old music in my computer which makes me realise that for every song I've listened, I have some sort of memory with it. And somehow that made me think back to the person I was just a few years back and the person I am now. There's been quite a change. To even just to think about the person I was yesterday was just a little different to who I am today at this moment.

Personally, I can say that it's not only until after high school that you understand who your real friends are. This is because being in high school, everyone has different subjects and everything, which can make us closer to someone and less close to another. At the very moment, I'm just living life day by day and not really thinking much into everything. That's ironic isn't it when I'm writing this blog?

It's only until recently that I realised that some things has changed for me. I guess it's all this pressure put upon us being seniors and that it's only about a month left until our last year in Sefton. The cliche, "emotional rollercoaster" perfectly describes our time in highschool. We are going to have our ups and downs, but we have to last the whole ride and overcome any obstacles that may come along, to appreciate and enjoy the whole experience at the end.

Anyways, that's the end of that. I just want to wish MIMI L- A HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! (:
Today, the question of "What do you first look at when seeing a guy?"
Here are some of the responses:
Carmen: Hair and clothes
Rebecka, Mimi N, Mimi L, Nancy: Face
Wendy: Height
Margaret: Whole package
Mel (me): Shoes and smile (:
What do YOU first look at?

Also this question has led to another question that Nancy brought up, "Would you rather a stamp collection or shoe collection?". The vote has been pretty even thus far. The vote is at 7-7. You can see how productive we were in Physics today. And yes, males and females had taken part in this survey. HAHA.
What would YOU rather?

LOVE.

Goodbye

Beijing `08

2008-08-09T17:45:00.010+10:00

So I watched the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony last night.
(And by watched I mean I missed the first few minutes of it and fell asleep during the entrance of all those countries, thus missing the actual torch lighting and defeating the purpose of me watching it in the first place. But you know.)

Can't really help but "x_____x" at the number of performers there were! I mean, I know China has the largest population and all, but rubbing it in much?! ..From the seats in the stadium they must have looked like a million little maggots wriggling around in rainbows. (Must look for a better description, Vick.) Still, awesome how they managed to make it look all ordered and comprehendable even with THAT MANY PEOPLE.

And the giant scrolll! Nuff said. :D

However I have to admit that some parts were questionable. Men in flouro green suits?! At least give em cool hats! D: The dove they made though, was amazing. It even flies! I guess the representation of 'dove of peace flying over the world on the scroll' seemed a bit forced, but nevertheless I doved it. Heheh.

To tell the truth when I first thought of China I thought of low-budget cheapy corny SFX. But as far as I remember all the performances were seamless and high-techy. Of course, in the spirit of China some parts still looked overdone and tacky. Like the dancing men and women welcoming the countries and marking a path around the stadium. Unnecessary mah. We have paint for that. How tiring would it have been to jump around on the spot while all 204 countries marched past?!

One thing that annoyed me was when the children were painting on the giant scroll, and chanting about the dangers of global warming, pollution etc. Then all the birdies come back because of China's efforts to be more environmentally friendly. EXCUSE ME? CHINA TOPS THE FREAKING CARBON POLLUTION RANKINGS! What the hell were they trying to make themselves out to be?! Hypocrites.

Btw, I just looked up (cause I missed the end of the ceremony :3) what that painting looked like in the end with the footprints. Wheeeee! Pretty! :D

Overall I think the opening ceremony was pretty good in terms of entertainment value. I wish I hadn't missed the end of it. I hear the torch relay and lighting the flame was hot ;D.

This entry probably wouldn't have have much sense to leeks who didn't watch the opening ceremony, or dislike long paragraphs so skipped parts. For that I apologise for not putting in much description and failing to arrange my thoughts in logical order.

COMMENT! KEEP THE BLOG ALIVE FOR GODS SAKES!
What did you guys think of the opening ceremony?

LAYOUT 004!

2008-08-04T21:59:00.002+10:00

Let's face it people, even though the last layout was aesthetically there, it was a bxtch to load and caused suicides on all those who were capped (I being one of them).

So here's a temporary layout that won't cause as much fuss. Yeahh, it's super dull. But it's all I can muster up in two hours. I challenge anyone to do better in that time frame!
Music has been removed for now, until I can get a naviagation thing so that people have the option of listening to music whilst reading our fine adventures. (Y)

No idea when the next layout will be out, btw. Looks a like a while. :\

HOW TO NAVIGATE:
Click on the words above; Phot!ans, Entries, Links and Tag.
The ACTUAL words are the prompt thingy that will bring up the desired menu.

Okie dokie, artichokie?

Charmed

2008-08-03T19:37:00.005+10:00

As of next year, I will have officially been a Charmed fan for 10 years.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been watching every single episode of Charmed from Season 1 through 8 (thanks Linda!) and reliving the magic (no pun intended) of my childhood.
In dedication to the awesomest show ever here's my top 10 episodes list:

1. Morality Bites (2x02)
2. That 70's Episode (1x17)
3. All Hell Breaks Loose (3x22)
4. Charmed and Dangerous (4x13)
5. PreWitched (3x17)
6. Sight Unseen (3x05)
7. Something Wicca This Way Comes (1x01)
8. Long Live the Queen (4x20)
9. The Day the Magic Died (5x15)
10. Something Wicca This Way Goes (7x22)

Steph + Charmed = 10 years of magic

DEEJAY, TURN THE MUSIC UP YO!

Complaining of boredom, I randomly typed PHOTIK into Google. The results for the first ten pages were basically on "DJ Photik". He totally does not do that name justice. T3T

But on the sixth page, I discovered a result that was quite .. Surprising to say the least. Check out the screenshot, doods.

Fellow Seftonite David Le is an unintentional associate of Photik! xD
LOL, how .. Coincidental!

In other news, the playlist (on shuffle) has been updated to include Happy Together and Pictures of You. Enjoy, peeps!

You complete me

2008-07-27T18:47:00.003+10:00

Well, I feel like I have officially taken over this blog with all my posts. MUAHAHAH! >:D Anyways, it has been an exciting few days while being sick. Well not really.I just had tutor, today and yesterday. However I had a very memorable Friday with Jdo and Vick.

What happened on Friday?
After school, Jdo dropped Cindy at station. While driving from the station, there were a few crazy moments with Jdo trying to run over year10s. She's a very safe driver nonetheless. Well when we got to centro, we went to eat first at the cafe. Then we went to check out Myers -- THE SALES (: The sad thing was I didnt bring much money to spend and we had limited time to shop. So we then left to get Jdo a boost where I saw Jamfur. And she gave me a birthday present (me2you bear). Thank you ! <3

Afterwards, we dropped by at "pop n go" to get some popcorn since it's much cheaper than at the cinemas. We went back to the car where we realised Jdo's remote control was running low on batteries. While trying for about 5minutes, we were able to open the car with my magic touch! *THE POWER!*

Well then we drove to cinemas where parking was easier than the first. Also this time, Vick had "the power" to lock and open the car. We then bought our tickets to "Dark Knight" and went in to watch it. While watching the movie, we had some very funny moments where we would all snuggle up close fearing something bad will happen xD. We finished at about 8ish which then we departed our ways to go home. Damn, it was such a crazy yet memorable friday (:
Cheers to Jdo and Vick!

I'm off to get more sick o__O.
LOL. LOVE <3

Imagine me and you <3

2008-07-24T17:07:00.000+10:00

It’s only after your birthday that you realise that a whole year has passed. I would recount my day but then again, everyone was there with me today. Hence there is no need to. But there are few words I would like to say:

To my family,
I love you all! Thanks for everything especially my brother, David who bought me the Mickey Mplayer that I’ve been wanting for so long and envied Carmen for those many months. I can’t wish for a better family.

To my friends,
Well this is going to be long..
Basically, I need to say that you guys made my sixteenth the sweetest it can be. Thank you for all the effort you all put in to make this a great day especially with all the presents. Honestly, with or without presents, I feel so privileged that I was able to spend today with the company of all you guys.

From the beginning, I knew there was a strong connection between myself and every one of you. I knew that I was going to be friends with you all, forever and ever. Well I plan too. None of you are escaping my life because I will be using some very strong superglue. xD

If I ever had the chance to talk to any of your parents, I would tell them that they all should be so proud about their son/daughter that they have raised because their child is an amazing person who has the heart of gold. I would tell them that all of you have the potential in life for such greatness that will shine in the future.

I don’t know how to put into words the things I feel about you all. I am so honoured to have been able to be a part of all your lives and given the chance to share some of the best memories growing up together.

The reason I know that you guys are the best friends a girl can have is that,I know sometimes I can be annoying, sometimes I can be frustrating, sometimes I can be a little oblivious to things, yet you all continue to stay by my side help guiding and protecting me in everyway possible.

I don’t have many words to say apart from these words: I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and will do for me. I know that from here and on that we will continue all our journeys towards the future and growing up by each other’s sides. I love you.

Well, I am now off :).
Thank you again.
LOVE.

Melting Moments

2008-07-22T15:07:00.005+10:00

Sadly, it has come to an end of a beautiful 8 year friendship with one of my closest friend who has always been there for me when I needed a smile, laugh or tears. Yes, it is the end to "Big Brother". I have always been a big fan since the very start when I was in primary school (:

Ben, I will always love him even with what is everyone saying about him. It's like one of those things like when you were younger and thought the Tooth Fairy was real until someone would tell you that she wasn't real yet somewhere in your mind and heart you believed in her always. Well that's how I feel about Ben. But yes, in the end I have to come to terms that it is over. I have to move on ;D *stares at Adam Sevani = amazing dancer*

Anyways, what has been the update since last time. Well the holidays has come to an end and now we are back at school. Today at school it just felt that we never really had those holidays. After our sport selections, we went to each at Cheso. We ate at NikoNiko (sushi) and it was yummy. I want to go again next week. We then also went to Gloria Jeans where we got our drinks that we have been craving for ages (:

Well I have to go do some homework. I just want to say, good luck, to all the people that is doing english extension. I will be back again this week! Also we have made a checklist what we wanted to do before we finish highschool. I'm just going to write the one I remember here. Comment if you want to add anything to the list.

Must Do:
- Have "classy" dinner with the girls
- Laser Tag
- PaintBall
- Ice-skating

Party Fun (2) !

2008-07-19T23:39:00.004+10:00

(OMFG. It takes so long to make a decent video out of pictures and stuff. T____T)

So, on Wednesday awesome people rocked up to Melissa's house to celebrate Carmen's late birthday and Melissa's upcoming one. xD Was a splendid day, I tell you. One thing I discovered was that I am not a drinking person. @____@ Yeahh. I should've taken more photos, but everyone was leaving by the time I settled in. T____T

So here are the videos! These will most likely be viewed in standard quality here, so it's better if you click on their respective links and choose "WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY", otherwise you might not be able to see the subtitles. And yes, they're subtitled fast. So you might have to pause and rewind at some instances. xD And they're split up because that's how I roll. Nonetheless, enjoy!

TURN OFF THE BLOG MUSIC BEFORE WATCHING!

FIRST VIDEO includes FOUR SUB-VIDEOS and PHOTOS!

LINK HERE!
(Actually, this one doesn't have the standard/high quality option.
So it's all-good to watch here). :)

SECOND VIDEO is STEPH'S BALLOON DARE!

LINK HERE!

Thanks to Carmen and Mel for the awesome party! <3 Who doesn't love their little purple giftboxes? ;O

Party Fun !

2008-07-17T18:00:00.025+10:00

Yesterday was such a crazy yet amazing day. It will probably be one of my highlights this year. Thanks to all the gorgeous people that attended (L). I love you all heaps! ^__^' .

To start off, I woke up about 4am. I didnt understand why i woke up that early either o__O. Well I showered and then prepared some of the foods and decorating for the day. Afterwards, I just got ready and changed.

At about 9am, Carmen and Jrah came over. We finished blowing up the helium balloons. Damn, they were so pretty and worth the money! Babycakes as well. They're are so tiny and cute. Yvonne came pretty early and she was dressed like she was going to a wedding wearing her school shoes. Funny girl. Jason and Maxine were next to arrived. Maxine and Jrah haven't been to my place so they went exploring. *Hope you guys like my place...* :)

Birthday Girls ;D

Babycakes <3>

The Junk Food ;D

Then Steph came and we just started watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". It was so funny, every time there was something "revealing", most of the girls would squirm and hide behind the pillows.. (including Jason, I joke). They're all so cute! While they were watching the movie, Carmen and I started the cooking. And Mimi came in such cute clothes YET she didnt take her jacket off the whole day :(. Well now I have a scar to remember the day. This was achieved by having hard tomatoes and not a very sharp knife. You can put the two and two together.

Carmen and Mimi !

Cute Maxine !

Balloons !

Anyways, Vick arrived. I must admit, her dress was so pretty. Everyone was just going in and out from the living room to my room, doing a variety things such as playing on my computer, eating and watching movies. Funny enough, before Jen came, I was like " I hope Howe and Jen dont come at the same time. Jen's mum might freak out". Coincidently, they did arrive at the same time xD. LOL.

Vick, Me, Jrah !

With both their arrivals, all the movies finished, radio blasted through the speakers and thats when the real fun began ;D. We began this drinking game. We started off with just white wine (only 4.8% alcohol, no need to worry) and some lollies. Poor Jennifer had to drink the most from all of us especially when she isnt much of a drinker. Haha. After finishing off two bottles of wine, we started to added random soft drinks and condiments. Steph had to drink a nasty mixture of Creaming Soda, condensed milk, Bbq sauce, lollies and some other random junk. And Howe had to eat a cupcake with chilli sauce, shapes, starburst and bbq sauce, all in one. Not a nice combination for either of them. Personally, I drank a few cups of wine, lollies and a chilli sauce cupcake ><' and that was bad enough. Yet, the whole thing was heaps of fun! ^__^

The Beginning ;D

Jen drinking ;D !

Chug Jason Chug !

The Deadly Cupcake !

The Deadly Drink !

Poor Steph!

While in the game, Hong arrived at the party with her guitar. Thanks for the present Hong. Love the card! At the end of this game, we just did random stuff which include attaching quite a few balloons to steph and making her run down the highway and having hong scream out " I love the pope". And yes, there were people from their cars looking at us.

Balloon Girl !

Run Steph Run !

Pretty Helium Balloons !

Newlyweds !

After a long day, people were leaving randomly through the days. And all of us just sat around talking and asking our usual questions. We then started playing with the sparklers. Fire is so much fun. :)

Omg ! Your Dress !

Hong ! You owe me a song.

The "Vicky" Alien !

With most of the people leaving later, we began to get a little kinky with the internet T__T. First off, while on Hong's account. Jason and I took turns talking to random people in quite "horny" ways while us not knowing who we are talking too. Thank you to wireless keyboard. Some good laughs we got from there and fond memories ;D. Though, I believe we scared off quite a few people online however there was some good people that played along, *shoutout to Ben ;D*. Hahas. Also we had some helium fun!

Yay !

We love "Ben" !

We then started to watch SYTYCD. YAY! :) Then after the last two people left (Vick and Hong). Steph and Carmen got ready for their sleepover at my place. We just watched random movies and talked to people online. Then I crashed out first so I'm not sure what they're did. They could have done anything really... o__O. To think of all the possibilities they could have done to me while I was asleep. Luckily, I have some good friends.. I hope.

Carmen !

Steph !

Since I was the first to sleep, I was the first to wake. And then realised I was covered by balloons. And Steph and Carmen was also too. This was when we started popping the balloons. Steph and Carmen craved for sausages in the morning. Being the nice person I am, I offered to walk all the way to IGA and get them their sausages. While walking out the house all the way to IGA in my pjs, I had a few random stares from passengers in their cars and people attending WYD. LOLs. When I came back, we just made the sausages, pancakes and random food. It was a very large breakfast which we didnt manage to finish off. xD Also, "Low" came on the radio and then carmen in the sleeping bag on the ground, starts wriggling around on the ground, trying to dance XD

Dead Balloons !

Popped Balloons !

Spatula !

Pancakes !

Big breakfast, anyone?

At about 11ish, they both left. And I just went back to sleep and woke up about 4hours later. I was planning to get some work done yet I was so damn tired. However, this was a small sacrifice compared to the amount of fun I had yesterday. Most photos can be found here: http://community.webshots.com/user/foudroyant?vhost=community

Well, now I'm off. I would like to say again, THANKYOU EVERYONE! Carmen and I appreciate you guys for taking the effort to come to our party and we hope you had some fun. I love you guys all and the times we share together ! <33.>

He lost.
*cries*
I think I died a little inside.
Okay, I shall stop with the melodramatics. xP
I watched the first two sets and fell asleep and then woke up and because they were showing the girls matches I assumed it was over and went to bed.
Stupid rain delay.
That's it.
I have to go cry in a corner now.

KNOCK KNOCK ?

2008-07-05T19:12:00.001+10:00

Looks like there's going to be some more updates here since its holidays. We reached 1000 VIEWS :D.
PROOF:

Well today I spent watching tv and then my mum decided i can go get a haircut since i been nagging her for the past month to let me (:

My mum drove us to bankstown where I saw Margaret and Joseph(i think)? and their parents. Also, I might get some new glasses soon that my mum says i can alternate between the one i have now and the new one.

Well then we went to my usual hairdressers and got my hair cut. You probably all wondering how I look right now? To take you guys out of your misery, I'll show you a picture. :)

Note: My hair was curled in this picture.

Anyway, I still have tutor for tomorrow which I do have some homework for. But hopefully, i will be able to go online soon and have a nice chat to some of the girlies <3>

DREAM ABOUT ME TONIGHT?

2008-07-04T21:21:00.004+10:00

Woah, it's the end to another term! Can you believe it?
Our train is getting closer and closer to stopping at HSC station ;D (Analogy). I'm so lame x__X.

Anyways, i've been having some odd dreams lately. But personally, i tend to believe there is always a deeper meaning to them. For your curiousity, my dreams and their meanings:

1. At school, I am telling you guys that i am going to die in two months.
-Dreaming that you have died or dying can represent an end of one phase of your life before you enter the next phase, or some aspect of your life situation coming to an end.

2. Some guy i liked, telling me that he liked one of you guys (my friends)..
Dreaming that you have been rejected could mean:
-You are feeling rejected, let down, or left out in real life—in a current or past situation
-You are rejecting or judging yourself in some way (try releasing judgments of yourself and accepting yourself just as you are)

-Dreaming that someone hurts you emotionally—such as hurting your feelings, insulting or demeaning you—can mean you are remembering, experiencing, or expecting emotional hurt in your real life.

3. Our entire grade at camp, and there was this activity where we had to jump into this area where the grass and mud is up to neck-high length. But the weird thing is that when we got out of the area, i was the only one dirty, everyone was still clean.
Dreaming of mud:
-A sticky or dirty mess, such as a challenge or problem
-Feeling stuck, or feeling the potential to get stuck somehow in your life

Dreaming of being dirty:
- A feeling or fear of being judged or of your reputation being sullied
- A disappointment, the feeling that a situation being spoiled

4. At the movies with you guys, and I find myself hugging onto some guy's arm while watching the movie. Also this guy was someone in our grade...(very interesting)
-Holding hands or other positive interaction with hands can represent good will or affection that you feel towards someone, that you believe someone feels towards you, or you wish you were receiving.

Hehe. So yes, those have been some very memorable dreams of mine for the past weeks.
Anyways, if you ever want to know what you dreams mean. I recommend this site:
http://www.thecuriousdreamer.com/

Well now I'm off to start to celebrate the beginning of the holidays!
LOVE.

Last Day of School! :D

2008-07-04T16:18:00.004+10:00

End of term two, girls! Another one to go before we're officially in the HSC course. Woow.

This was one of the highlights of today:

I wonder where the sign is now ..

Have a great two-week break, loves! :D
Take care and relax while you can. ^^

I'll (endeavor to) see everyone at Mel's house!
Much love. :)

"A-NESS"

2008-07-02T16:27:00.006+10:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARMEN!

We are going to be YEAR 12s soon. That's depressing yet I cant wait for it. We have so many things planned for this holiday that I hope actually happens! YAY :D

Captain Planet!

2008-06-28T14:54:00.004+10:00

So I'm supposed to be painting for my BoW right now. 8D
I always end up posting here when I procrastinate. (Y)

For those who don't remember Captain Planet.
(Which is quite shocking, really). ;O

OPENING THEME:

CLOSING THEME SONG!:

EARTH!
FIRE!
WIND!

Go Planet!

By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!

Captain Planet, he's our hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero

He's our powers magnified

We're the Planeteers
You can be one too
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do!

Looting and polluting is not the way
Hear what Captain Planet has to say!

Spoil ME!

2008-06-22T18:07:00.005+10:00

Hmm. I had a few people come up to me and ask me what would i want for my birthday which is in a month and 2 days. Yes, i know its still quite a long time away (: But, well for half that time - we will be on holidays so no one will see me.. that much. Thus I decided to compile a list of things I would enjoy and not.

YES!
- Puzzle-pieces photo frame collection from Spotlight.
- Books about weddings (can be obtained from BORDERS ;D )
- Fresh flowers (preferably NOT roses)
- Stuff from Ikea
(eg. http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/00115633
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/50115635
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/00120007
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/60117040
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/30132339
- Japanese-styled/vintage objects
- Black long-shaped wallet
- Simple pencilcase (preferably metal)
- TV series boxsets

Those things are some things I want myself which in the future, I do plan to get myself so if I do get it for my birthday, better for me ;D. But NO ONE is limited to what the list holds. Because if you know me, you know the stuff I will like ;D. Yet, if you are still unsure. Maybe I just tell you what i DONT want...

NO!
- Appliances of any sort
- Jewellery (i got enough.)
- Any type of toys
- Morning Glory stuff
- Smiggle stuff

I think that is pretty much the stuff you should avoid. However if you do get me something along those lines, I wont hate it because its a present after all. It's the thought that matters..most of the time! x___O
Anyway, people might want to know my favourite colours is Black, Grey, White.
LOl. This blog just makes me sound so selfish. But yes.

I hope everyone has a good night as we have another long day of school tomorrow. I should start on some homework.
Bye~

Sport is Cancelled, for the Umpteenth Time.

2008-06-17T18:40:00.004+10:00

I'm frantically trying to compile this entry because I have a CAFS assignment due (shut up, Vicky). That, along with Maths and Advanced. Goooody.

Well, in Extension (first period), we were told to write our thoughts down in a stream-of-consciousness matter. Basically, it's like tree -> leaves -> green -> my thumb hurts -> sport is cancelled -> I wonder what we'll be doing -> Kristovskis just abandoned our room. xD

We (Stephanie, Vicky, Yvonne and I) took the opportunity to write notes to each other. 8D At the beginning of the following images, you'll see Steph's thoughts (pencil and starts with 'Oh no!') and mine (blue pen, starting off with 'Latin is a cool language'). These sheets rotated around the table at the same time so twice the conversation was built up. 8D
The only handwriting distinguishable between us four is Vicky's - small and skinny. xD

Click to view!

I blurred the stuff that was see-through from the other side.
'lala' was pixelated to avoid conflict. *Cough-Yvonn'es best buddy-cough*

Lesson ended just as Yvonne finished writing.

---

After school, we (Alice, Melissa, Stephanie, Vicky, Yvonne, Jason and I) headed to Cheso's Cheesecake Shop and that Pho restaurant (Best Bamboo) to eat.

At the CHEESECAKE SHOP;

(Y).

Turkish Delight with "drunk guy behind it".

What we got: Passionfruit Continental Cheesecake.

Yes, Mel is sliced in half.

With flash. ==

LOL @ Alice and Jason (the blur on the right).

Nawww. :D

Me to Mel: I'm going to run across the road and turn back to take a photo of everyone crossing!

HUZZZZZZZZZAHHH!

At the PHO RESTAURANT;

Air conditioned for your comfort.

Menu.

Empty table with coins. (LOL, paradox).

Satay Chicken?

Stephanieee and Jaaaaason!
(Portrait-sized photos = small resizing)

Yvonne eating. :D

Ze (cold) box.

Cheesecake feat. Tea.

Tea.

Tea II.

1) Feel the cold booooxxx!
2) Dig in!
3) to 4) Being eaten.
5) Empty.
6) Rubbish.
7) A happy little Cheesecake muncher.

---

After this, we left a tip (I think). Everyone excluding Jason and I walked around Cheso. I got picked up by my mom and went home. :)

How eventful. xD

It's a start..

2008-06-12T17:32:00.005+10:00

"Simple Promises"
A little piece of heaven on paper.
Design and creation of invitations, birthday cards, etc.
Contact me if ever interested.
Prices can be negotiated :)

----

Free advertising, for my very own business that I am starting off. If you know me personally, the prices will only be for the stationery and any materials used in the making of your product :). I have so many plans and dreams for my future, but so little time. Basically at the moment, my main goal is to get a Bachelors of Applied Science (MRS) Diagnostic Radiography at USYD which I will probably enjoy doing most of my life. However on the side, I would like to continue with my business "Simple Promises" which I will contemplate working with other people (i.e. carmen) to open an actual business where the general public will be my customers. In addition, I would like to also study for a Bachelor of Education (Secondary - Science)/Bachelor of Science which I can use when I ever get bored of Radiology and decide to retire from that choice of career.

Hence you can see I have a lot of things I want to achieve in my life. Slowly, I will get through them. Well, now I'm off to get some homework done.

PEOPLE COMMENT! Answer me this, "What do YOU want do in your future? "

If you haven't been reading Cindy's blog (and by which, I suggest you should: access via LINKS), then you wouldn't have seen her most recent entry, posted on yesterday (Tuesday, June 10).

Everyone should watch the video! It's quite shocking. o____o I'm certainly going to avoid eating KFC for a while. :\

On more .. Happier(?) terms, there's also a link to http://www.freerice.com/!
You GOOOTAAA play. No, seriously.
Basically, for every word you correctly identify, they donate 20 grains of rice. :) For more info on the dynamics of this .. "Game", check out the FAQ. (I did). It's an easyyy game. :)

I read somewhere that a serving of rice contains 7, 200 grains of rice. Aim for that in a week, people! I'm already halfway there, and it's only taken about ten-fifteen minutes.

END WORLD HUNGER! And develop your vocabulary.

EDIT: Highest level I've reached is 30. Hbu? ;D

Okay. Yeah. I've realised that the links aren't "clickable".
God knows why. @____@

CAMP CAMP CAMP!

2008-05-24T20:45:00.014+10:00

OMSH. It was our last ever camp and for that sake – we partied like we never did before. Personally, I loved the camp. It was totally awesome. Okay, now for me to recount the whole three days into a short blog entry. I shall try my best even though there’s so much to talk about.

Day One:
- Arrived at the front of school where people’s parents started to laugh at the fact I had two massive luggage with me. I showed everyone that everything i brought would come in handy when they all were wearing their dirty clothes and I had my new extra clean clothes to wear *shines in pride*. LOLS.

- On the bus, we had some great time playing Chinese whispers around the bus. Some of the things passed around were:
1. Yvonne Vu likes to eat poo.
2. Hi, David Le!
3. Yvonne has Alice’s bra.
You can tell what fun we had on the bus ;D

- After a 3hr bus ride, we got to the campsite. We got our bags and went to our rooms. It wasn’t as big as our year9 cabin but I was still thankful that we probably had one of the biggest rooms and we only had 11 of us. So basically we had like 2 spare bunk beds for our food and clothes.

- Introduction talk/tour then we had lunch which was like a massive hotdog. It made most of the girls feel ill after it. T__T’. Afterwards, we went to start on our activities. Group 5 consisted of myself, Stephanie and Angela from the Phot!k girls. We had Benedet which was absolutely heaven ;D – she’s so cool. Our first activity was vertical challenge. It wasn’t too bad (it was entertaining to watch others do it.)

- Afternoon tea: Snow cones. Pretty self-explanatory.

- Alpine Rescue was next. It was a lot of team work which I loved. I must say that if somehow I crashed landed in some deserted island, I would love to have our grade there with us. Very smart people with logical reasoning and ideas that shall save us all.

- Showers. And damn, was it dangerous or what in the girl’s bathroom area? It was wet and muddy everywhere. Took about half an hour of waiting for our group to manage to get into showers. However, Yvonne injured herself. She feel down which left her with a bleeding elbow ><. She’s is so not good in showers as she also fell down at year 9 camp. Poor girl. All of us started screaming when we saw a possum in our cabin but we couldn’t do anything about it because it ran away. But we named it, Lowmo (combination of lolly and gizmo) Anyway, we got changed then off to dinner we went. Had spaghetti, I believe.

- DISCO DISCO. Oh gosh, It was so mad! LOVED IT. It made up for all the people that didn’t go to formal or danced. We had our glow sticks and we look totally hot. ;D. Cabin girls 17 rocked that place man! Celia = totally awesome! - Bed time: We joined the bunk beds together so it was like one massive big. Had Steph, Jen, Angela, Vicky and myself on it. Odd night as we enjoyed shaping our glowsticks into random body parts T__T.

Day Two:
- First to wake up and just cleaned up the cabin. Got changed for breakfast which was eggs, toasts, cereal, etc. Afterwards we got back and got ready for our first activity. - High ropes. It was hiliarious watching Nigel fail at most of it. But in the end he tried his best. Also, when Alexander was up there, he had some very unusual calls. For example, when he was supposed to say stuff like checking and connecting?, he instead screamed out “squeezing black Nigel, touching black Nigel”.

- Morning tea: Snow cones again.

- Gully crossing. I enjoyed this quite a lot because it involved thinking, team work and hardwork. I shall thank god for letting our group have Saleh and Viausto in my group. As they did so much work and looked after everyone in the team. Our team rocked the others! (: - We got quite muddy from the area. However lunch was next, and this time it was a sandwich. After lunch, we had our crossroads sessions. The first half was quite entertaining but by the time it got to drugs and stuff (I was falling asleep). I question how that guy can talk to every single group for two hours about the same thing over and over again. He must love sex o__O and strangely, he told us that he never had a single drink in his life. That shocked me.

- Giant Swing. Everyone did an amazing job on it by going half way or more! A lot of funny screams and faces on people. I got all to the way to the top and looked down and at that moment, I was like “Holy crap, maybe I shouldn’t have went so high” but after I let go – it was totally worth it. Benedet was entertaining to watch. I believe she only wanted to go to a certain height but since most of us were controlling where she was going to get up to… in merely 10seconds, she was at the highest point, screaming at the top of her lungs. And as she let go, she started calling us dickheads. It was so awesome. xD

- Dinner was next which was chicken stew and rice. Afterwards was commando: It was cold, freezing and muddy. Gahh, I was quite sad that we missed having camp fires due to the terrible weather. But at least, we got some extra time in our cabin with lights on. When we got to our cabin we saw bits of our food had been bitten into by the possum. But we just gave it to some of the guys as they were willing to take it. T__T.

- We (Vick, Jen, Steph, Carmen, Shirley and I) decided to have an all nighter. I believed I dozed off a few times for a few minutes but was vigorously woken up by the girls. We ate and talked about some of the most random things such as plastic surgery, genital areas of both genders XD, and the people in our grade and much more stuff.

Day three:
- All of us powered through with little to nothing sleep. The security guy came knocking on our door in the early morning and asked us why we woke up so early, not realizing that we didn’t have any sleep at all. Since most of us were awake, we started to pack and change for breakfast. Most of us got pulled to do the kitchen duties. That “yumyum” guy is so strange. He calls Mimi L – “James Ruse girl” because she was answering all the questions he was asking us. xD. He has some obsession with Ali – as he was telling all of us to marry him and stuff. How odd.

- After breakfast, we went back to our cabins where we finished off our packing. Cleaned up the place and pushed all the bunk beds to its original position. Our last activity was kayaking. I partnered up with Cinders. She totally rocks my world. And we both totally rock at kayaking. (; I wished we had more water activities like that. Since I can say kayaking was far most my favourite activity of the whole camp.

- We finished our camp off with a lunch which I didn’t eat as I still feeling quite full from the yucky water I consumed from kayaking but at least I haven’t died :D. Then we chucked our luggage onto the bus and off we went back to school. Most of the ride back home, people we sleeping. We had Cindy being our comedian telling us some good jokes. By the time we got back, Mina was there waiting for me. She took me home which made me realise how quiet it is without the grade.

- Aftewards, I just crashed out and caught up on some much deserved sleep. Overall, that was my camp of 2008. Loved every bit of it (: But sadly to say, it made me realise how short the time we have left until we finish high school. And it is quite depressing that some of the people that I have shared some great memories with are going to part from my life forever, if not, for quite a long time. Hence we got to appreciate every day of school with SHS 09ers. As I’m certain that I will be missing every single one of them. Anyways, no more of this depressing sentimental stuff as I just have to say that Cabin Group 17 is the best friends I shall ever have in my lifetime!

ps. CAMP WAS AWESOOMMMMMMEEE!
Since we were partying to so hardcore. We didn’t manage to take many pictures.
But we did take a few:

Images taken on the bus and in cabin ;D.
Okay, that’s enough from me!
BYEBYEBBYE.
LOOOVVVEEE – MEL (:

Boogadeeboo!

2008-05-19T19:50:00.018+10:00

Hello me hearties. Steph here - first time blogger, long time... blog watcher. I really don't have anything to say so I'll just post random things that come to mind.

How come we have to spend so much & buy stuff in addition for camp when all we get is crappy weather, crappy food, crappy accomodation and crappy... other stuff? Plus, you know, I have to miss out on Carson being in the house on Wednesday. And How I Met Your Mother on Thursday. *sigh* I'm a TV addict. But seriously, go watch it.
I got a haircut yesterday, as aforementioned in Mel's previous post. It looks o_O. When I wake up it looks like I have a mullet. You've probably all seen it by now, judge for yourself.
Travis + Brigitte = DISCO. I love disco. xD And Travis. Brigitte's okay, but I kinda get easily annoyed by her because she gets so easily annoyed. It's a circle, my friends.
49/50 for my Ancient History exam. I've decided to drop from 3U to 2U Maths and also drop Chemistry and take up Extension History instead. Mmm. It's about the only thing I'm good at. And possibly English. Oh please let me do well at English.

What a crap post. If I ever post again I promise I'll do better. My life is pretty eventless. Comment away.
MAKE ME OVER CARSON! <3333333333333333

How's your hair?

2008-05-18T18:25:00.003+10:00

Basically, what have I done for the past week? Not much really. Apart from watching movies and more movies. On Tuesday, my cousin and her husband invited me to go watch Ironman with Jamfur and her little brother. I enjoyed the movie but was a little let down with the limited "fighting" scenes. Other then that, I had a great time. :)

On friday, I watched "21". Brilliant movie for people who love to watch some good gambling - hence the perfect movie for me. And it was based on a real story so that makes it even better. I tend to enjoy movies that were based on true stories a lot more than fictional plotlines.

Yesterday, I watched "The Forbidden Kingdom". A movie starring both JET LI and JACKIE CHAN! A lot of karate and fighting scenes. I was very satisfied and happy with this movie! It's a must watch for any Jackie Chan or Jet Li or movie lover :) like me! GAHH - I cant get enough of this movie! 5/5stars! (but that's just my opinion)

I went to see the new Myer today at Bankstown. It was pretty stuffy in there since there were like heaps of people (saw Linda, Eric and a lot of randoms there). Finally I have got my tanned/brown coloured bag :). Supposedly Vicky, Carmen and Stephanie went to have all their hair cut today. I can't wait to see them all tomorrow.

Camp is in 2 days! We should all start packing. It's sad to know that One tree hill finale is happening this week and I would have to wait until I return from camp. That's soo long :(. Talking about One Tree Hill, everyone should go listen to Kate Voegele. She is totally awesome!!

Gahh, I have homework to do. I better be off and shall return after camp and blog about our adventures.

New layout!

2008-05-16T23:23:00.002+10:00

Hey peeps! Just a quick post to introduce the new layout! xD

Special thanks to Mel (#24) who supplied half of the photos you see in the Profile section. Speaking of which, it's in table format now. :) I realised that I had to change a font style so it looked normal, otherwise the size blew up to rival yo mamma's bootaye .. *Nervous laughter*

<3

#13 hits #16. (Get it?)

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

YEY. THANKS EVERYONE. :D TODAY WAS AWESOME TO THE CORESOME. (HAHA).

Let's sum things up so the photos can get uploaded. xD I have to Photoshop them first though. Nerhhhh. Laggy computer. Woo.
Actually. The highlights!

Morning:
Edim lectured me on how I can now legally have sex, with exceptions to rape. o____o Boran shook me by the shoulders from behind.
Extension:
Class sang "Happy Birthday". Cindy changed her version to "you look like a goldfish, and you smell like one too!". Kristovskis started some song with no relevance to birthdays. xD
Lunch:
Steph: "Jennifer On is here, now we can finally eat!" Feasted. :D Stephanie stuffed herself silly.
Night:
Tina (four-year-old sister) announced herself to be "the man". Also watched that Spiderwick movie. xD I'm not really into fantasy so yeahh.

ZE PRESENTS!

Yes, I know it's blurry. xD

*Squeal*

I'm breaking the law, Cookie Monster style.

Thanks for chucking that in there, Steph.

Good things come in small, steel, Smiggle tins.

"You can zip your ear up now!"

Oh the smexiness.

What I got from outting with Dad (minus the clothing).

It's apparently supposed to be red but came out pink.

I'm getting bunny eared. And my brother is a stoner.
Life is sweet. >____>

Thanks so much for the great day everyone. :D
I love the presents, and shall bring them to camp.
(That is, if I'm going). ;O
LOL.

And did you know.
Bored of Studies wished me a Happy Birthday. LOL.

MUCHHHH LOOOOOVE.
I'm sixteen!
And in my mom's eyes, I can legally claim Youth Allowance.
:)

DIE EXAMS DIE!

2008-05-10T18:18:00.006+10:00

Basically, I had three days off after exams. I spent most of Wednesday, getting the much deserved sleep. Thursday, I met up with Carmen and Steph at Bankstown. Shopping, obviously. Carmen is a hilarious shopper – so indecisive. She bought a vest and a beanie. I think :P. I got a top, jacket, scarf and random stuff. Stephanie bought socks. And soon after, time was running out and we had to go home. But then again, we were going to see each other again on Friday(yesterday).

Stephanie came to my place in the morning then we met up with Alice on the train to Town Hall. We met up with Vicky and Carmen at Townhall. Since it was still early in the morning, we decided to have some breakfast at Passionflower.

1. Waffles and ice-cream
2. Pancakes and ice-cream

After filling our stomachs, Alice and Vicky left to go to karaoke with the people (Eric, Patrick, Viausto, Kenji, Cindy and Rebecca?). I think they were the people. So Steph, Carmen and I decided to go to Capitols since it was Stephanie’s first experience at the city. Before we reached to Capitol Square, we dropped by Hotdollar where we bought some ribbon. A short walk later, we were in a Capitol booth taking capitols. And yes, it was a nice experience after having not taken them for like half a year now.

3. Stephanie in a mask at Hotdollar.
4. Stephanie and Carmen at Capitols.

We then walked to Market city where I got a kimmidoll keyring because they ran out of the kimmidolls figurines. But I was still happy! Then we just went to a lot of random stores – looking for presents for our mums! Didn’t find anything good and affordable. We saw the restaurant that Vicky talked about – PhoTK. (It’s meant to be). Just realised a lot of students truant. Anyway, we phoned up Vicky and met her at Town Hall to go DFO. We went to Strathfield then caught a bus to DFO.

5. Pho TK.
6. DFO.

All of us got hungry so we ate. After stuffing ourselves with Asian food, we went shopping. Carmen and I had to also buy Mother’s Day presents. Basically the next two-three hours were spent shopping. A lot of shopping - clothes, accessories and presents.

7 & 8: Our shopping bags.

Just to let you know those were all our bags. I believe that all together we probably spent about $500. That’s how crazy we are ;D. After two trips round DFO. We got tired and broke. Hence we decided to go back home. Stephanie and I parted ways with Carmen and Vicky at Strathfield station. Stephanie and I trained it to Regents Park where then we got off and changed to Bankstown Line. We slowly walked back to my place where Stephanie was then picked up.

9 & 10: The Hume Highway at 6pm. (along our walk home)

Overall, I had a great day with a lot of shopping and adventures. HAHA. But damn, I'm so tired and my wallet is crying for help ><. Individually I spent $300 in two days :). That’s a record, I believe (for me)! Today, I had tutor. And when I woke up, my legs were aching from the 9hr shopping adventure yesterday + 5hr shopping trip on Thursday! Haha, the consequences of having some fun. Okay. I better be off and complete some homework for tutor tomorrow and school on Monday. Just want to wish everyone’s mums, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.
ie. Be good to your mums tomorrow.

Lots of Love.

STEPH'S HOLINESS.

Much Needed Therapy

2008-04-17T10:16:00.001+10:00

Ever wonder what two girls do at the city?
Well there are three main things:
1) Shop till our wallets and legs are in pain.
2) Eat till our stomachs ache.
3) Check out hot boys till our eyes are sore.
And yes, Carmen and I did all of that on Tuesday! :)
Retail therapy is the best medicine for a bad week.
Pictures of the food we had on the day:

Left: Crepes and Icecream (Rosepetal and Greentea)
Right: Ice Milk Tea and Green Tea Frappe

Left: Chicken Kebab Omurice
Right: Chicken and Ham roll Omurice

Left: Cupcakes from "Cupcakes on Pitt"
Right: Icecream Puffy (Greentea and Taro)

From the food, you can tell Carmen and I have a thing for, "Greentea" :). Just to make it clear I didn't take any pictures of the hot guys <3 (even though I wanted too). A lot of walking and shopping was involved in the day! It was a good day just to relax, gossip and not think about the upcoming exams. That reminds me, I should start studying... ;)
Ps. I am totally crazed over "kimmidolls" now!

Thats all from me today!
