Tuesday, 13th February - Goodbye Angel
I only slept an hour after writing up my last (and extremely long) journal entry. I went to bed at close to 7am and Samantha came over at 8am.
I was a zombie for obvious reasons .

We just watched a few episodes of Elfen Lied before we got picked up by Quynh Giao at 9am.

Quynh Giao drove us to Sunset Restaurant to have breakfast there. All we can eat for $10 lol. We all loved our little potato gems which are just like mini hash browns. Not a healthy breakfast but oh well xD.

After breakfast Quynh Giao took us home and gave us red packets for luck. It didn't sink in that perhaps this was the last time I'd see Quynh Giao in months. *sigh*

I was so dead when I got back home, Samantha watched some more Elfen Lied and I just fell asleep on me bed.

At around 12:20pm Erin came over to pick us up. We were going to go see Angel off at the airport since she was flying to Melbourne today.
Angel was late there, of course lol.
When she finally arrived we went to the souvenir store and just looked around. I bought myself a black "Darwin" shirt xD. I wish they made I <3 Darwin shirts.

Soon it was time for Angel to board the plane. I wasn't quite so sad about seeing her off this time because we all know that we'll see each other soon again anyway .

Erin took us home then Samantha just watched some more Elfen Lied while I still crashed on my bed and napped xD. Then her mummy picked her up so I just slept some more after that.

Kae-jenn came over to practise at 4pm and I wanted to stay up and give him a sort of free lesson but I was just so tired, I just slept while he practised.

In the evening I went to Tracy Village to have dinner with uncle Richard, auntie Theresa, Timothy and mum. It was just a quiet evening eating food (that is comparatively heaps better than the Trailer Boat Club lol).

Wednesday, 14th February - GARGH! IT'S MY LAST DAY!
Woke up at 7am (after sleeping at 4am lol). At 8am I went to Centrelink to sort some things out then I went to the MVR to renew my driver's licence. That's all I've done today so far.
After this journal entry I'm disconnecting my internet then cleaning up my room, print some stuff off at uni and yeah....don't know what's gonna happen tonight.

Tomorrow I fly to Adelaide. I'm not so terrified and sad about it now.
In the morning I am going to have breakfast at Sunset Restaurant with whoever's still in Darwin then I might chill out at home before going to the airport and zooooooom! Within a few hours I'll be in Adelaide.

THE INVASION OF DARWIN IS ABOUT TO COMMENCE! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Yeah, Adam and Tom....you better watch out lol).

Yep yep....the next time you all hear from me...I will be in Adelaide!

Oh yeah! Happy Valentines Day, everyone!

Okay.....I will bid you all a short farewell now. I hope to be back online soon xD.
Take care! Love you all!

Love Hui-Min

First of all I will warn you guys that this is probably the last entry I will write in Darwin. I will not have access after today, I fly to Adelaide on Thursday 15th and I don't know when I will get net access again so yeah, don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a while...

Thursday, 8th February - Stranger Than Fiction
I worked at Subway from 8:30am to 4pm. Samantha met up with me after work and we went back to my place and I made her watch a few episodes of Elfen Lied. Surprisingly she wasn't grossed out by it lol. We were gonna have dinner and watch a movie tonight with the Wells. Eliza was supposed to come too but unfortunately she couldn't come for particular reasons .

I taught Mila for half an hour while Samantha just sat in my room watching some more Elfen Lied to kill time waiting for our time to head out.

At 6:00pm we got picked up by Kylie and Joanna to go to Fasta Pasta for dinner. We got quite full with our delicious entree sized meals.

We finished our meals at quarted to 8 and our movie didn't start til 9:10pm so Kylie drove us around East Point and town. Then we came back to the cinemas to watch "Stranger Than Fiction". I didn't expect great things from this movie but oh my goodness...THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Throughout the movie I couldn't help analysing it (dang English Studies) but I enjoyed it the entire way. I loved every minute of it! The movie was so clever and imaginative. It was so funny and so beautifully done. It easily made it to one of my favourite movies of all time.

So yeah...for those who haven't seen it, it's about this guy who hears this woman's voice in his mind who narrates everything he does very accurately. Doesn't sound interesting? I don't care! YOU HAVE TO GO WATCH IT!

After our movie it was pouring with rain so Kylie quickly dropped Sammy and me home.
Then as I was drifting off to sleep I received the most random SMS from Eliza saying "What's that site that had 'They're taking the hobbits to Isengard' called?" and from then on we messaged each other back and forth for an hour and a half lol trying to figure out when we were both free at the same time so we could see each other.

We then finally made an agreement for me to visit her on Monday night at her work place. After that I went to bed x).

Friday, 9th February - Trailer Boat Club Farewell Dinner
Tonight we all had a farewell dinner at the trailer boat club and it was great that we could organise a little get together before the lot of us scattered to various parts of Australia for uni.

Emily rocked up at 6pm and she was stressing a lot about being late to dinner because she had to pick up 3 more people besides me and we had half an hour to get to the Trailer Boat Club which was at the other side of Darwin lol.

I was amused with her being frustrated with her automatic car since automatic cars tend to accelerate very slowly lol. We managed to get to the Trailer Boat Club at 6:35 which isn't too bad lol. Most of the people were there before us though and kept messaging Emily while she was driving us there asking where the hell she was since she was the one who organised the get-together xD.

We all sat down in our reserved seats and just chatted away (and waiting for the late arrivals) until the sun set. I took a few pretty photos of the sky (as you can see in my gallery) and just you know, I have done no editing of the images whatsoever besides cropping the picture and putting borders on them. I took a lot of photos of everyone too and when I can be bothered I will upload a bunch of photos onto my msn space (which I haven't done for a while so the latest photos on there are the Christmas ones hehe).
We all ordered big meals (we didn't mean to....they were just served really big O_o;; ). I had the HUGEST Veal parmigiana. Not only was it huge...it was also FERAL! The entire piece of meat was ruddy TENDONS! It was NOT NICE! I couldn't cut it, or chew it or ANYTHING! It was just huge strands of tendons stuck together.........

Even though my dinner was crap I had a marvellous time because it was ages since I was out with my lovely bunch of high school friends .

Some of us later went to walk on the beach (which the Trailer Boat Club was RIGHT ON) and I think a lot of us tried to take in every moment at the beach as much as we could. A lot of my friends are studying in Melbourne and they claim they don't have/have the crappiest beaches so they missed the beach so much. I know when I leave I'm going to miss the beach...and the sky...and the humidity (strangely enough)...and the trees...and the quiet life...it's...it's....my home!!! I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After our walk on the beach (it was completely dark at the time) half of us said our goodbyes and drove to Cool Spot for ice-cream. I had my favourite flavour, Mint Choc-chip of course.

After our ice-cream Joanna drove Samantha and me to town, we went to Coles and I bought myself a 1.25L bottle of Green Ice Tea and Joey bought herself a raspberry chubba-chubb (it's a type of lollipop). Then we just had a drive around Marrara looking for this empty carpark but we saw a crash site of this public bus instead. We didn't know what on earth to do so Joey drove Samantha home at around 11pm. Then I thought we should go say hi to Scott who was having his birthday party at the time so we drove there to say hello. I just sat around with people I didn't know (except for Scott, Kylie and Joanna) for 40 minutes then Joey and I got bored so Joey drove me home and yeah...that was my night x).

Saturday, 10th February - Mum's Birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUMMY!!!!!!!

Today's the last day I give my students piano lessons. How sad . 10am I taught Mila. She was sad and said that she was going to miss me a lot . I only had her for a few months but she's improved a lot I reckon. She's such a sweet little girl. She was trying to have as much fun as she could and so was I. At the end of the lesson I videotaped her with my camera and she put on a stunning performance for me ^^. I will pass her on to Angelina's sister, Felicia since Mila's too young for my piano teacher, Quynh Giao to teach. I hope Mila and Felicia will get along and Mila will continue to improve and develop her piano playing.
When I said goodbye to her I gave her a big hug and a kiss goodbye. The poor thing cried...*sigh*. Hopefully I will see her again in the July holidays .

At 11am Dad picked me up and we went out to have lunch at the city. First I bought mum a whole duck at this Chinese Restaurant so we could have it for dinner for her birthday. Then we just had rice dishes at Zen Restaurant.
After our lunch dad dropped me off home so I can drop off the duck then he dropped me off at Casuarina so I could get Mum's birthday present.

I got mum a gorgeous Family photo album that had a little house and you could open its windows and doors and everything ^^. Then I went to get a photo of her and me printed with a USB device but the instant printing machine was down. I was so disappointed...lucky when I got home I found an already printed out copy of mum and I so I used that photo instead (and it's her favourite photo instead).

At 3pm I taught Melissa and she looked glum (I guess it's because it was her last lesson with me...*sigh*). I was glad she practised though because the past few weeks she slacked off a bit but she really impressed me today. She showed a greater dynamic range in her pieces and the notes were tidier too . I hope Quynh Giao will approve of her when she teaches her.
At the end of the lesson I videotaped Melissa's playing too. I think I stressed out the poor girl lol. After that she presented me with presents. I sooooo did not expect that! She gave me a quilt and pillow covers (very handy!) and a plush doggie . I felt like crying...I didn't get my students anything...I think I'll round then up in the July holidays and shout them for lunch .

At 4pm I taught Kae-jenn and as soon as he came in he immediately went "WAAAAAAAH! THIS IS OUR LAST LESSON!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING!!!!!!! YOU'RE LEAVING ME!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!" and meh.......I WAS ALREADY TEARY!!! It was really hard for Kae-jenn to focus today which is a once off thing. I guess he was upset. He got really attached to me the past year of me teaching him. He became my little brother. He made me this gorgeous little cardboard box which apparently took him all day (according to his mother) and inside he put a little jade dragon charm. It was beautiful! Wah! I didn't know sweet little boys still existed in this world! I hope Kae-jenn stays the same as he grows up!!!!
Yep, you guessed it, after the lesson I videotaped his playing. He stayed back another hour just playing and gossiping with me then begged me to let him come over and practise and see me off before I leave. I insisted of course.

At 6pm mum and I went to Uncle Angelo's house to have dinner. We had our duck (which mum overcooked) and my nummy Ravioli which was of course NOT overcooked x). Our dinner was quickly done. Then mummy opened her present from me and loved it . She also got red packets with lots of money.
For the rest of the night we just watched TV and when we got tired, we went home.

Sunday, 11th February - Last shift at Subway
Mih, I wasn't pleased that my last shift was with someone I only worked with once before for 2 hours. My work buddy was Ben for tonight. I thought it would've been nice if I got to work with someone I worked with nearly every day. I thought it was going to be a night of little conversation and awkwardness. HOW WRONG WAS I?!?! Ben was heaps cool!

Anyway, before we get to that, Jake was still there when I started work. He decided to hang around to say goodbye to me. That's so nice of him ^^. I gave him a little hug and he begged me to give him a little kiss on the cheek too but nuuuuu! >_<;;
But yeah, I worked with Jake everyday ever since I started training and we always sang and did the chicken dance together lol . He was lots of fun x).

Anyhoo...as soon as I walked in the door, Ben handed this half drunken energy drink to me and said "TRY THIS!". It didn't look like I had a choice so I tried some. It woke me up for a few seconds lol. Poor Ben was on the energy drinks all night because his shift today was 11:30am - 9pm. Mine was only 4pm - 8:30pm.
Turned out Ben was a big Billy Joel fan x). Hehe, he played his Billy Joel music over the stereo all night and we both sang all night . Then we talked about our lives and yeah, it was quite interesting listening to each other talk about ourselves. He absolutely adored his girlfriend which I think is absolutely gorgeous ^^. Not many young blokes like him nowadays. I wish I got more shifts with this guy...not only was he normal (unlike Jake making me do the chicken dance) but he was also not boring xD.
I found out that he was in Danmei's physics class last year. Hehe...I am going to ask Danmei about Ben next time I speak to her x).
Anyhoo, Ben and I just chilled out all night because it was a quiet night. We also had a bit of a sword fight with the mop and broom (and hoorah for the surveillance cameras embbedded all over the restaurant lol) which was fun x). Hehe....what a way to have my last shift at Subway eh? We never muck around like this...it's good that I got to have this kind of fun for my last shift. Don't get me wrong, we got our work done too *shifty eyes*.
If I come back to work at Subway in July I am gonna try to get night shifts with this guy! HE'S FUN! Lol x). He's the only one out of all the subway employees I've met who doesn't do drugs too lol. I WAS WORKING IN A DRUGGIE ZONE! OHNOES! D;

Anyhoo...yeah, my last shift at Subway rocked .

Monday, 12th February - Friends
Emily woke me up nice and early at 8:30am (lol, I know it's not that early xD) by rocking up my house while I was still in bed x). I immediately got up, got dressed, brushed my teeth, washed my face and got kidnapped by her lol. We drove to McDonald's and ordered hot cakes before driving to the beach where we would eat our hot cakes happily x).

We sat in this park Emily and I haven't been to for years. It was nice. We just sat on the concrete benches eating our hotcakes while enjoying the beautiful ocean view. It was so relaxing. We also realised that it was going to be the last time Emily and I were going to spend time with each other before we scooted off with our interstate uni lives .

We munched up our hot cakes in no time so we walked over to the jetty and just enjoyed the lovely sea breeze. We talked about planning our futures such as getting pregnant together (sad, I know lol) and all that random daydreaming stuff hehe.

The clouds were nice and fluffy on this beautiful Monday morning but unfortunately I didn't bring my camera so I couldn't take any photos of it T_T.

After our brief outing at the beach Emily drove me home.

At 10:30am I met up with my Uncle Richard at K-mart to print out some of my great aunt's funeral photos. I ran into Madeleine as I was printing the photos. It was great to see her, it's been months. I didn't get to talk to her much though. I hope I see her again within a few months time. Maddi's a very nice girl .

At noon I had subway for lunch with mummy. Jake and Rodney were working and they were trying to convince me to stay and work with them lol x). *sigh* They also said that they were gonna miss me. Waaaaaaaah....I've been said that a lot this past week. It's making me really depressed . I really really really really REALLY don't want to leave T_T. My life is so good here...WHY DOES CHARLES DARWIN UNIVERSITY HAVE TO BE SO CRAP?! *whinges*

I arrived back home at 1pm and Erin came over for a little while to give me back this Faerie necklace she had off me for about 2 years. Two years ago, Erin and I decided to have a bit of a necklace swap. She had a faerie necklace as well and I don't know why but we just swapped necklaces. Unfortunately I haven't seen her necklace for a long time so I don't know where it is T_T. I KNOW IT'S IN THIS BOX, BUT WHERE THAT BOX IS, IS A MYSTERY! Waaaaaaaaaah! I hope I will find her necklace one day T_T.
Pooey....Erin only got to stay over for about half an hour. Her mum came pretty soon to pick her up again *grumbles*.

At 6pm dad decided to kidnap me to take me out to dinner. Mum was not pleased because she really wanted me to have dinner with her at home these last few nights I remain in Darwin. Dad really wanted me to come though because he was leaving for Malaysia the next day. We went to Saigon restaurant and had a quiet evening around town. We mostly talked about model cars and very non-interesting stuff but it was still nice to be around dad.

When he drove me home, and I was getting out of the car, it only struck me then that this was the very last time I would see dad for a long time...I burst into tears after thinking about that. Then my mother got pissed off at me for crying and told me how pathetic I was which didn't help. She was saying it's all my fault that I chose to move interstate and I should just get over it. To a degree she's right but seriously...I was emotional and in tears....not to mention I only had 3 days left to be with her...she could've been a bit nicer to me, right?
I hid in my room to cry for a bit, depressed and slightly angry. I missed my dad the moment I walked out of the car. Then I tried to calm myself down and went back outside and sat with mum. She didn't talk. She gave me a dagger then completely ignored me afterwards...*sigh* I give up...
Kylie arrived at 10pm to pick me up. I left the house trying to say goodbye but was still given the cold shoulder. Far out...I don't know what on earth I did to offend my mother that much...is it wrong to miss my dad? I'd cry heaps more when I say goodbye to mum! She knows that! She's jealous or something? I mean...what the hell....THEY'RE BOTH MY PARENTS FOR GOODNESS SAKES....I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THEM...AND SHE'S ANGRY AT ME FOR SHOWING THE SLIGHTEST EMOTION FROM SAYING GOODBYE TO MY OWN FATHER WHO I HARDLY SEE MY ENTIRE LIFE!

Okay...I'll stop bitching about mum now...
Kylie, Joey and I drove to the airport and as soon as we walked in, we bumped into Eliza straight away. The purpose of us being there was to visit her at work. She worked at Viva La Body at the airport.
First Eliza gave us hand massages which was very nice indeed ^^. My hands still smell nice from the massaging lotion.
There wasn't much to do at first so we just sat around talking about random stuff and catching up with each other (because we haven't seen Eliza for YONKS!).

At 12:30am Eliza took a break and we went to Red Roosters to eat. We sat and ate our food and said the stupidest things. Eliza was eating a chicken flayva wrap and then it unwrapped itself.
Eliza: "My flayva decided to undress itself.....STRIP SUB!"
*we burst into hysterical laughter for some strange reason*
Eliza: "Would you like dressing?"
Kylie: "Do you know what the last one did?"
*more hysterical laughter*
Hey...leave us alone.....we were tired lol. It was late xD.
Mih....I'm going to miss these crazy times. It's been so long since we mucked around like this...and it's going to be a long time yet to have another one of these silly moments with them again...
Eliza reckons things aren't going to be the same at uni after I'm gone...I don't think that's true...her, Kylie, Kyle and the other would get along just as well as we have last year. They can do it without me. All I do is tell them when stuff is due and what to study for lol. I don't see how that catalyses our fun and strange moments. Still it makes me incredibly sad hearing things like that said to you...
Oh, I feel so horrible about leaving.... >_<;;

These last few days I've been asking myself more and more why on earth I am leaving Darwin? I am seriously getting depressed about it...

After eating we went back to the store and took some group photos. We had a lot of fun and the 3 hours flew by quite quickly. It was fun keeping Eliza company at work .

We all left the airport at close to 2am and now I am back here writing this long journal entry about my last week in Darwin.

Today (it's now 6am lol) I am going to spend the day with Quynh Giao, Angel (then see her off at the airport) and Samantha. Tonight I plan to have a movie night with Kylie and mum and hopefully mum's not in an unpleasant mood.

On Wednesday I plan to have fish and chips at the wharf but I don't think it will happen.

On Thursday morning I'm planning to have breakfast with everyone at Sunset restaurant at Skycity before going to the airport to bid my final farewell to my family and friends and Darwin. Then within 3 hours and 35 minutes after I depart, I will arrive in Adelaide and begin my new life...I will see Jarrad and Aaron for the first time in a very long time and meet Ryan for the very first time. Hopefully I still won't be depressed by then otherwise the guys are going to have a very hard time with me...

I will write about this the next time I have net access.

In the mean time...I will talk to you all again later...in ADELAIDE!

Take care everyone, love you!

Wish me the best of luck!

Friday 2nd, Little Harrison
I got picked up by Erin with Angelina at around 9am and we drove straight to Humpty Doo to visit our English teacher, Ms Sparrow. It took us about half an hour to drive there but we finally got there and found her house quite easily.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...................Harrison (her new born son) was so cuuuuuute!!!
He pulled the funniest faces...it was just beautiful ^^. Angel gave Ms Sparrow a Keepsake book and I bought Harrison a plush blue elephant that rattled. I took a few photos of her and Harrison and we just talked about him and some other stuff for about half an hour. Pity Angel had to be home and I had to go to work by 11pm so we had to leave pretty soon.
According to the Subway clock I was right on time lol (even though my watch said I was 10 minutes late).
Anyway...it was nice to see Ms Sparrow again and see her lovely new bundle of joy ^^.

Saturday 3rd, Lunch at Sunset Restaurant
At 5am I got a message from Ryan saying "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, oh what a beautiful morning, I'm so stuffed it's quite gay!" and I was not happy coz I was WOKEN UP! Lol. So I replied "Oh what a terrible morning, you got me out of bed, I'm tired and I'm yawning, message someone else instead!". Basically him and Jarrad were about to drive off to Adelaide...

At 12:30, mum and I had lunch with our boss and other workmates of Fox & Hound Cafe Inn and Ming Court Restaurant at Sunset Restaurant at Skycity. Sylvia (our boss) bought me a wallet as a farewell and good luck present for me to use in Adelaide. That was very nice of her. She shouted us all the lunch too which is also very nice of her.
I felt nostalgic being back at Skycity though. It just reminded me of the time I worked there and killed my left arm carrying the plates. Now that I was dining there, I was more conscientious of the waiters that worked there. I could see them hiding the pain as they carried our plates away. X_x;; ugh...the pay was good working there but hell, it was a hard job. I felt for the waiters...
Well, lunch was nice, and it was nice to spend quiet time with my workmates rather than rushing around serving customers at the restaurant or cafe.

At night I was waiting for a message from the boys saying they arrived in Adelaide safely but they didn't message me so I was getting restless. I sent them a message around midnight saying "ARE YOU THERE YET? ARE YOU THERE YET? ARE YOU THERE YET?". No reply

Sunday 4th
At 6:30am I got a message from Ryan saying they arrived there and I thought to myself "wow...it took them 25 hours to drive there "

During the day I just worked at Subway all day...nothing special x).

At night I called the guys up and it turned out they actually arrived there at 9pm last night and I woke them up when I messaged them at midnight. GRRRRR! WELL IT'S THEIR FAULT FOR NOT MESSAGING ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Monday 5th, Lunch with dad
Dad picked me up at 11am and took me to the city to have lunch with him. We went to the same ol' Chinese Restaurant and had rice dishes as per usual. Hmm...we didn't talk about much today. Pity...it's gonna be the last few moments I have with dad before I leave. Actually he leaves for Malaysia before I head for Adelaide. *Sigh* I was hoping he'd say goodbye to me but meh...oh well.

Tuesday 6th
What have I done today? I just packed up my junk all day...took me a while. Haven't done much today...that's about it...

Oh, and it's Scott Randall's 21st Birthday today. Happy birthday, Scott!

Saturday
Today was Angel's birthday party. Emily picked me up at 11am and we went to Casuarina to shop for her presents. We got her a squishy blue flower pillow, a blue glow stick, a little blue friends forever notebook (yes, we were trying out on a blue theme since her favourite colour is blue), all in a blue gift bag. I decided to break the blue theme though. I went for a yellow Elmo PJ top since she adores Elmo.

At 12:30 we met up with Angel, Erin and Brentley for lunch. Surprisingly Anton was there to (up from Melbourne). That was a nice surprise. He came up for Angel's birthday which I thought was very sweet.
We went to busy bee to meet up with Anand and I bought my lunch there. I was glad to hear that Anand got into Medicine at James Cook University in Queensland after his second attempt of year 12. He's young enough to be in Year 12 this year anyway so yeah... x).

Soon a whole bunch of us turned up in Casuarina. I can't be bothered listing everyone's names in lol but it was nearly everyone who was invited to the party.
We all had lunch together and by 2pm we all drove to the Planet.

I harassed Eliza via text messaging for her to turn up just for a little while to meet everyone and it turned out that Eliza had to call me on our mobiles while she was driving for directions on how to get to the Planet. Eventually she finally got there and it was the first time I've seen her in ages. We raced each other the car racing games and she won of course lol. That was thoroughly amusing and lots of fun though. Soon Kyle turned up with his girlfriend, Kate. Kate seemed nice. I'm glad Kyle found someone who was nice ^^ and I was also glad to see him since after the exams too.
Anyway...we soon played a game of bowling. I came last out of everyone lol. How amusing x). It was also amusing when Lani got two strikes in a row from pure fluke (or so she says...I bet it's skills!).

When we finished our game of bowling we headed back to Casuarina to watch "Happy Feet" at the movies. Overall I thought it was a good movie. The penguins were so cute singing and dancing. Parts of it were a bit lame but it's a kid's movie...I liked it .

The movie finished and some of us went home but a lot of us went to Angel's house to have dinner there. Angel's mum's cooking was brilliant as usual.
We sat around in the lounge room and watched "Hoodwinked" on DVD. The yodelling goat was awesome xD.

After the DVD we went into her room and just sat around talking to each other for a couple of hours. I went home at midnight.

Monday
This morning I booked my flight for Adelaide. I booked it for Thursday, 15th February Departing 12:05pm (DRW) and arriving in Adelaide 16:40 (ADL).
In the afternoon Dad took me out for lunch at the city. We just had our usual Chinese food then we walked around in Cas before he took me home.
It's also Angel's birthday today so I messaged her to wish her a happy birthday.

Tuesday
Dad took me out for lunch again but this time with Uncle Wong. Again we had Chinese food and I had the usual questions asked about what I am doing at university yada yada yada.
He dropped me home at 1pm. At 2, Emily came over. We first went to Casuarina and we managed to bump into Angel, Anton and Felicia. We didn't talk to them much though because they were in a hurry to go somewhere so we left them alone.

Later we rented "Lady in the Water", "Thank You for Smoking", "Snakes on a Plane" and "Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest" from Video Ezy.
We went back to my place and just watched the dvd's for the rest of the night. Lady in the Water was beautiful. It was very imaginative and I was amused at how scared Emily was with the grass dogs xD. Thank You for Smoking was funny! It was very clever and how Emily and I as the audience managed to feel empathetic for who we would consider a bad guy in real life. Oh the joys of films and English studies...
Snakes on a Plane...what can I say? We borrowed it to see how lame it would be. Surprisingly it was quite good (for snakes on a plane lol). It was lame at some parts but it was hilarious and they did quite a lot with the plot. There's only so much you can do with snakes on a plane but they did a pretty good job! Yeah...for those people who were so convinced that Snakes on a Plane would be a very bad movie, go watch it and see how surprisingly alright it is lol. Hehe...actually, it's not a great movie but it's not bad either. Pirates of the Carribean 2 was funny too ^^. Johnny Depp is such a good actor.

Wednesday
During the evening I went around to Emily's place and her family took me and Abi's friends to the wharf for dinner. I just had fish and chips. It was the first time I've ever eaten at the wharf. I know...shame on me as a Darwinian never eating dinner at the wharf...I'm glad I had the opportunity before I migrate to Adelaide.
We bumped into Sara which was nice because it was her birthday so I got to say happy birthday to her in person. She was having a birthday dinner with her family.

After our dinner at the wharf we went back to Em's place and just watched "She's the Man". I think it was the 6th time I watched it but I still love it.

When we finished watching the movie, Emily took me home.

Thursday
This morning I woke up bright and early to have a jog around a park near by. I am still unfit...*pants*. It felt good though (a few hours after I had a rest anyway lol).

At 5:30pm, Jasmine, Meliana, and ~Bities were at Casuarina beach. We just sat in a rock pool playing around with the water and the sand. I was covering one of my legs with sand and decided I should try to build a witch castle on my leg so I had some sort of appendix sticking out of my leg. Then ~Bities said "You have a leg penis!" :/. Then my so called "leg penis" broke apart and I said "My penis chopped itself in half!". Then ~Bities took my camera and decided to video tape me with my "leg penis". She told me to stroke it...that was horrible...then she interviewed Jasmine asking "So...what do you think of Hui-Min's leg penis?". Jasmine responded "Well...it's...built for size...but..it's about quality over quantity!" and I was offended about her talking about my leg penis that way so I shouted "OH WHAT?!" and she said "BUT IT'S LUMPY! Who would want that?!" "But isn't that good for stimulation whatever you call it?" "Hey look, it's falling apart!" "See? Look! You broke my penis's heart!" Erin: "No, you masturbated too much so it fell apart!" *all the sand falls off my leg* "Look at it! You killed it! It's fallen apart! That's terrible!" *sighs contently* we are such normal, innocent people, aren't we? xD. Hahaha...we had a nice laugh out of that.
After that, we all went home. Hehe...what a nice walk at the beach that was x).

During the evening I watched the match with Roger Federer vs Andy Roddick. Of course in response to my last journal entry I go for Federer but Federer completely smashed Roddick and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pouty arsed server. Ahh well...GO ROGER FEDERER!! I hope either he wins the Australian Open.

Now
It is now Friday 26th February which means IT'S AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

Emily came over during the evening and we just watched a DVD of AFI performing at Long Beach California. They seemed pretty good live and Emily was all emotional watching it because she's OBSESSED with AFI. I sang along with Emily while we watched the concert. It was enjoyable even though I didn't like AFI much.
I got a strange quote from her that night. "I want Hunter on my boob".

Tuesday
Today was the day I find out whether I'll be going to Adelaide or not.
I made plans with Emily and Stephen to walk to the beach and watch the sunset. It was Stephen's very last night in Darwin so I wanted to spend time with him properly before he leaves since there is a possibility that I will not see him for years. Emily arrived at my place just after 4:30 and we waited for Stephen who was supposed to come around that time too but he didn't turn up. At 10 past 5 we decided to drive to his place to see if he was home. First we picked up Jasmine because we thought it would be nice of her to tag along too.

It turned out that Stephen had to help his parents move the furniture around the house which was why he didn't turn up. He could've at least called though >:0. Well we kidnapped him anyway so we went to the beach .
Since the universities offers were going to be released at 6pm and I was at the beach at the time I called Ryan on my mobile and asked him to check it for me. He wasn't too keen on doing that though but he saw how desperate I was of knowing ASAP so he cooperated x). I had to call him three times though because the server was busy for about 45 minutes.
While we were at the beach, Emily, Stephen, Jasmine and I just walked about 3 kilometres along the beach. So much for going to see the sunset...the entire sky was cloudy...*sigh*. Oh well. It was still really nice. The tide got our legs all wet and the sand felt great among the bottom of our feet. Dogs and children were everywhere of course and the sea breeze was as beautiful as ever. It was lovely. The beach is one of the things I will miss the most about Darwin...
Anyway...back to the offer business. Ryan finally logged in to my SATAC account and saw the university's verdict. I was itching to know. "Ryan...did I get in!?!?!" "I don't know...you tell me..." "RYAN! DID I GET IN OR NOT!" "*reads incredibly slowly* you have been offered a spot for course 3014 Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) at the University of Adelaide" *I was already screaming soon after he said the word "offered"*. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
I now know that my life is going to change! I am one step closer to my dream and life ambitions! Getting into this course in Adelaide was really important to me!
I felt so incredibly relieved! I felt incredibly happy for the rest of the night. Not even saying goodbye to Stephen made me sad...(horrible...I know...).
Actually...I lied...I was really sad when I gave him a final hug goodbye.... I hope I will see him in a few months time. Mah...now I want to cry!

Emily came back to my place during the evening and we watched "V for Vendetta" on my laptop. I must say THIS IS ONE AWESOME FILM!!!! It's so beautifully done! The concept of the possible future just blew me away...I won't get into much detail because I don't know how to explain things in ways that make sense to people but THIS HAS DEFINITELY BECOME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES!
After we finished watching it, it was 11pm so Emily went home and I went to bed.

Wednesday
This morning I went out for a jog for the first time in aaaaaaages and I AM SO INCREDIBLY UNFIT (but I felt great after I did it though...even though I felt a little sick in the stomach). It's no fun doing it alone though...I used to jog all the time with Danmei except she lives further away now so we don't do it anymore .
After my jog I just talked to Ryan about our living arrangements. I was feeling a little agitated though because I haven't heard from Eliza and I want to get things done like book the flight and sign the rental agreement contract but I can't really do those things without knowing what her decision is...
Eliza, if you're reading this...PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did my first night shift at Subway tonight. It was very nice and relaxing. I like this shift. All we do is wash and clean. No rushing around serving customers as fast as we can...it was only Ellie and me. I didn't know Ellie enough because she always did the night shifts but tonight I learnt that she was lots of fun and very sweet . I have more night shifts up the roster now so WOOHOO!
However my fingers smell strongly like chlorine from work tonight...>_<;;

Anyway...tomorrow is my great aunt's funeral...
I will say that I am not quite so upset about her having passed away anymore because she has lived a good life, and life to the fullest. She got to blow her 90th birthday cake. She died peacefully. She never saw her death as an issue. In fact, I can imagine her having the most wonderful time where she is now. She sure knows how to have fun...

Congratulations to my friends who got great results for year 12 and who got accepted in the courses and universities they wanted to get in .
To those who didn't get what they hoped...it's okay...there are plenty of opportunities. You will have them... just have faith. Don't give up!

Love you all!

On Tuesday former students of Quynh Giao Hoffman went over to her place to get together and have a little party. I went to pick up Holly at 2:45 and Holly and I were the first ones to arrive at QG's house. Samantha is in Canberra so I took her plush seal there on her behalf. Soon Paul, Winnie and Halina arrived, shortly after Penny and Sophie came as well. Angelina was late....as usual....lol XD. We just sat around drinking fruit punch and eat chicken wings for a while. QG showed us a DVD of her playing the piano "Lieberstraum" by Franz Liszt at her friend's wedding. We laughed at how nervous she was lol xD. She played beautifully though...of course...
Paul performed his composition called "A Penguin Christmas". I had it on file. It's AWESOME! Paul is a GENIUS!!!

Soon Sophie had to leave, after she left we all gathered around the piano playing pop songs and singing woefully. Paul's voice stood up the most because it's so INCREDIBLY DEEP! We all brought our bathers to swim but we didn't go swimming at QG's pool at all. We spent the entire day just mucking around on the piano singing and having a great time. It was nice that we could get together. QG taped us performing and put it on DVD...how embarrassing...

I sound absolutely terrible when I am attempting to sing opera...my goodness...remind me to never attempt classical opera ever again!! Hahaha...

We had pizza for dinner. The pizza slices were the biggest I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. There was also a lot of oil because it dripped all over my hand...yuck... :S

Everyone left at around 8:30 and I stuck around to help clean up then left at 9. It was so nice to get together like this again. QG was glad that we were still capable of playing tunes on the piano after we concentrated so hard on our studies at high school and uni. I think after I finish my bachelor I might have a shot at doing a Lmus.A examination. That way I can have a Licenciated diploma instead of the Associates diploma I have now...Scary...

Anyhoo...that was our piano students get together party. Hopefully we'll have a second one when EVERYONE can come that way Samantha doesn't have to go as a plush seal lol.

Now for life in general...lately I've been feeling a bit depressed, lost and confused. I've been caught up in such a mess. Life is messy...I will not elaborate further...

Thursday, 4th
Today I went over to Samantha's house to sleep over. I went over at around 6pm then we just mucked around on her minuscule 4GB hard drive computer (I'm surprised it runs...). Then we had dinner and compliments to Sam's mum for her lovely cooking .
After dinner we just watched Naruto and Sauching (Sam's little sister) was a little confused since we started watching from episode 85 lol.
After watching a few episodes we just bummed around on msn again. Aaron was turning everything I said into a sexual invitation and even though it was degrading it was highly amusing. This went on until about 3:00am when Samantha and I decided it's probably the best time for us to go to bed...
When we went to bed, we didn't sleep for at least another half hour. I stared at her lava lamp and was highly amused. Yes...I am very sad...things like melted wax blobbing up and down amuse me...
Finally...we fell asleep.

Friday, 5th
We woke up at 10am. Samantha and I had nutella toast for breakfast. I haven't had nutella for yeeeeeeeears. It tasted so good .
I can't remember what we did after breakfast. I think we just surfed the net to look at random flashes and whatever things that amused us. Then we watched more Naruto. Haha...(we don't seem to do anything else but watch Naruto, do we? XD).
At 3:00pm Samantha's mum took me home and I got ready for my first day at work at Subway .

I started at 4pm and Michelle, the manager went through the training with me with a fellow Trainee by the name of Jake. It turns out that Jake is the son of the delivery driver, James, who works at Ming Court with me...lol...what a small world.
After about half an hour of Michelle telling us how to do things we got straight to working with the customers and Samantha decided to visit and make my first day on the job difficult lol. She ordered a roast beef sub and roast beef was the ONE meat I couldn't remember...bah! Oh well...at least she made me remember it for good now xD. Yeah...making subs was fun and it's far more easy and laid back than being a waitress. I didn't quit my job at Ming Court though. Ming Court is just closed for two weeks. I quit the job at Skycity though...they only wanted me for the Festive Season anyway.
Anyhoo...I finished working at 8pm and yeah.... I like working at Subway .

Saturday, 6th
I GOT MY NEW LAPTOP TODAY!!!!
10am, Mila came over for her piano lesson. Hmm...she hasn't practised :/ but during the lesson I helped her improve on "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain" a lot though which is good. It's only because she knows how the piece goes though lol...*sighs contently* little kids indeed!

10:45am, mum and I drove to "Wow" and bought my Benji!!! I named my laptop Benji lol. It is my pet *strokes her Benji*. We managed to get a $28 discount with our bargaining skills .
Anyhoo...for those of you who care...here's Benji's specs (in German...I can't find it in English for some strange reason...): [link] click on "Datenblatt" lol.
Anyhoo...yeah...my laptop is groooovey!

Sunday, 7th
Today Emily came over during the evening and we went to rent out "Ghost in the Shell" because Emily got me "Ghost in the Shell 2" for Christmas. I couldn't understand the movie but it made more sense towards the end. The matrix stole ideas from this movie, I am guessing...it's intense! All these deep and hidden meanings. Nyah! The movie made my brain hurt. The sequel was even better and by then I had a better understanding of what was going on so the second movie made a lot of sense to me but my brain still really hurt from thinking about it so much. Yeah...I'll need to watch both movies several times to understand it...or maybe I should read the manga and watch the TV series...
Anyway...I thought Ghost in the Shell was very cool. The second movie was tonnes better than the first. I am trying to figure out the significance of the Bassett hound...I would tell you my interpretation but I will save you from it because 1. You won't care and 2. It's just dumb and I could yak on and on...

Monday, 8th
Woke up 7am, then walked to work at 8. This morning in Subway I got to chop up all the salads with cool cutting utensils. I WANT THE CUCUMBER CUTTER!! It's awesome! I can't even describe it in words. Well, you basically cut the entire cucumber in a second by simply spinning this handle and it chops it in perfect thin little discs. Wee! :3
Wee...today was a fun day because we had a whole cue of customers at around lunch time and I was having lots of fun making all these strange subs. Too bad the coffee machine was out of order. I like making coffee .
Today was an oliveless day. Apparently all of the Subway restaurants in Australia are out of olives. That's kinda amusing. WE ARE OLIVELESS NATION WIDE!!!
Moo...had a 7.5 hour shift and I think it went well.

I will save you from any further brain damage from reading my incredibly long and boring journal entry now. In the mean time, take care and goodbye for now!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!

What did I do on New Year’s Eve? *thinks* well…I went to work at 5pm, and finished at 4am on New Year’s Day…lol xD.

What did I do on New Year’s Day? Well…I woke up at 12:30pm (hey! I went to bed at 6am!) and continued writing a letter to Shan Shan. Then I went to work at 5pm and far out…the restaurant has never been so busy because we were one of the places open on New Year’s Evening. The Chinese takeaway NEVER EVER takes more than 20 minutes to do but this night…there were so many orders they took about an hour each to do!!!!! The phone NEVER STOPPED RINGING FOR 3 HOURS, the entire restaurant was FULLY BOOKED and I was the only waiter operating the entire restaurant and takeaway!!
The chefs were tearing their hairs out too with about 6 squillion orders coming in all at once. For once the pizza orders were quiet…and that NEVER happens…
Mih…we underestimated the number of people who knew we were open on New Year’s Day…
Anyhoo…I only finished at 1am because we didn’t have to reset the tables since the restaurant was going to be closed for two weeks after New Year’s Day. YAY!

Yup…they’re my first moments of 2007!

Today (2nd) Dad took me out for lunch at this restaurant at the city. Then we went to Andy’s house (my cousin) and there was this gorgeous little beagle named Jessie. She jumped on us a lot and was all dopey and everything but at one stage she just rested on my knees and just stared up at me for 5 minutes. That was so sweeeeet ^.^

BUT WAIT! LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING! BEHIND THOSE PUPPY DOG EYES WAS A LUSTY, HORNY LITTLE DEVIL!!!

Here’s how it goes….
Me: Dad! Look! It's so cuuuuuuuute! ^.^ IT'S HUGGING MY LEG! LOOK!! ISN'T IT GORGEOUS?!
*a few minutes later*
Me: aww...it's hugging me ^^ awwwwwwwwwWAAAARGH!! IT'S HUMPING MY LEG!!! GET IT OFF!!
*dad pisses himself laughing*

MY RIGHT LEG LOST ITS VIRGINITY TO A FEMALE BEAGLE!!!
*scarred for life*

Okay…after that disturbing incident, Andy, Dad and I went to Wow and checked out the laptops there. Then we went to Harvey Norman, then The Good Guys, then Cas etc etc etc. I still don’t know which one I want yet…but this ASUS one at Wow looked pretty good. Well…I have til the end of January to get one…so no rush…

Anyway…after browsing around, we went to Casuarina and I handed in a resume to Subway. I decided I needed to get a day time job because the night time jobs at the restaurant kinda suck. I go home in odd hours…can’t sleep…injure my arm…etc etc…yes, I’m a whus and a whiner…x)
Half an hour later Subway called me on my mobile asking me to get interviewed tomorrow afternoon. Wow, they really ARE keen for staff x).

Got home at around 4pm and I discovered that I received Christmas cards from ~kaokun and *autumndark. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU TWO!
Hopefully you’ll receive my mail soon!

Anyway...
I hope you all have a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous 2007! Love you all!

I spent pretty much the whole day with dad yesterday.

First he picked me up at 11am and went shopping with him for a little while in Casuarina.

After an hour he got bored and then took me out to lunch at the city. On the way there I was just listening to my ipod and singing random songs by the Beatles to impress my dad xD. I also demanded I wanted to borrow the BeeGees off him. Yes…I’m suddenly into oldies music .

He took me out to lunch with Auntie Heng at Yum Cha restaurant at the city. I decided to be vego for a day for no particular reason so I just had stir fry vegies and rice.

After lunch dad dropped Auntie Heng at the casino then he took me to Wow (this home entertainment store) and dad wanted to buy an mp3 player for himself but he decided that he didn’t think it was worth the money.

After browsing around Wow, dad took me home.

At 5pm he came by again and kidnapped me to take me to his place hehe. I thought he was just going to order take away or something and have dinner together at his place while watching DVD’s. How wrong was I?! He told me to cook for him. He wanted to see what I was capable of. Well…not much. All I did was cook stir fry chicken and vegetables and egg noodles. He seemed to enjoy it though, and I guess it tasted pretty good so okay… x). Hehe…straight after dinner he took me home and yeah…that was my day with dad!

YAY! A SHORT ENTRY!

Now…I was going to write an entry on Monday 18th up til now but I think that will just bore the socks of everyone and I don’t think I can remember that much anyway so I’m going to try to make this entry short. Note that the keyword here is try.

On Monday I got ~latenightdreamer’s parcel. Becca, darling…you spoil me too much! Thank you love you!
Today my Alice Springs friends got their parcels. Yay!

On Tuesday I did more Christmas shopping. ~kaokun just said that it’s impossible for me to make this journal entry short…WELL WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT! >_<;;
Okay….Tuesday…Christmas shopping…that was all! MOVING ON!

Wednesday…I did more Christmas shopping. I sent my Christmas presents to Rebecca and Shan Shan. I ran into Eliza and she bought presents for her little brothers. Then I ran into Angelina, she was sending Christmas cards to her friends. Then I went home and I received Jordan and Ryan’s parcels. THEY GAVE ME A LOT OF PRESENTS *le gasp*. Thank you! You spoil me too much ! Love you both!

Thursday…I don’t even remember what happened…OKAY! MOVING ON! NO WAIT! I REMEMBER AGAIN! I took my dad out to dinner for his birthday (even though it was on Saturday). He enjoyed himself ^^. Yay! I made daddy happy! MOVING ON! *is under pressure of making this entry short*

Friday…Rebecca received my present…YAY! MOVING ON!

Saturday…a bunch of us went to Lani’s party. First Emily picked me up (half an hour late), we did some fruit shopping, then we went to pick Niamh up and while we were turning into her street in the car, Emily had her quiche on a plate in front of the car, the plate with the quiche on it spun round and round and round along the windscreen and we were watching it going “NOOOOOOOOO!!!”. That was hilarious. We had a good laugh about it for half an hour xD. GARGH! THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ENTRY AGAIN! MOVING ON! Niamh was taking a shower so her mum said she’ll take her to the party so we went to pick up Jasmine, then Angelina.
We got to the party on time, only ~Bities and Brentley were there. Everyone else was about half an hour late at least.
~insanelizard, ~DEMIMONDAINE, ~Chizxa, Katerina and I went swimming in the pool playing Marco Polo.
After about an hour and a half we got out of the pool and just sat around eating munchies and listened to music.
I was happy because I got to see friends who I haven’t seen for a year or months again.
Later we did our Kris Kringle present swap thingy…I got this massage therapy thingy from Andy xD. Initially I got the orgasmatron but I can’t stand these things so I swapped with Brentley for the massage thingy xD.
Then we just sat around and listened to music. I was constantly getting bitten by mozzies…
This was pretty much the whole party until 11:30pm when Emily and I left (we were the last ones to leave besides those who were sleeping over).
That’s it!

Sunday…I worked at Ming Court until 10pm. I received a lovely sms from ~Fanatism wishing me a Merry Christmas which was a nice surprise ^^. Jag älskar dig!
Then I went home, and watched Carols by Candlelight.

Monday…MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! I made mum breakfast in bed, then I opened my pressies. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE WHO KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT! I was on a high…I never wanted anything for Christmas so all these presents were a bonus. My friends are so lovely… I don’t know what I did to have deserved them…
In the arvo mum and I went to an old family friend and had lunch at his place. Then we just sat around and watched Christmas stuff on TV.
In the evening we went to my Uncle Richard’s place. My dad’s side of the family who were in Darwin were all there. It was so nice gathering with my family members ^^. We had a nice ham and turkey dinner and everyone was laughing and having a great time. I took plenty of photos and yeah, I was having a ball .
Throughout Christmas I was sending all these messages to people wishing them a Merry Christmas. I wish I had more credit though because so I could send overseas smses…except they cost a lot these days…*grumbles*. So…MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I WAS THINKING OF EVERY ONE OF YOUR ON THIS DAY!

Tuesday...Boxing Day sale in the stores everywhere. It was chaos…EVERYONE WAS HUNGRY FOR A BARGAIN!
After that I went home, and became a gaming nerd playing this weird game with Jasper and Ryan all day…*cucumber*.

Today I will be having lunch with my dad…

Shut up, ~kaokun I know this is not short >_<;; I TRIED!! I SAID I’D TRY!

Anyway…I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I love you all! Take care in the New Year!!!

THIS ENTRY IS GOING TO BE SHORT(er)!!!!!!

Donnie Darko
I won't talk about my day at work because that would just be boring x).
Emily came over at around 10pm and brought her laptop and "Donnie Darko" DVD with her. We migrated to my room and watched it in there. I love this movie! It's now one of my favourites!
Emily was amusingly very creeped out by Frank the bunny. She kept hidding behind me and my doona...poor thing. I just kept going "It's a guy in a bunny suit... -____-;;". I don't think that helped at all lol.
Anyway...yeah...I really liked this movie x). It was very clever and the acting was pretty good.
After we finished watching it, Emily went home.

Raiding Angel's Place
Emily came over at 3, hijacked my computer for a while and made me watch AFI videos on youtube.com xD. Then she kidnapped me and we went to Casuarina to buy some boost. We were initially going to go Christmas shopping but the shops were closing so yeah :/. We ran into Erin ( ~Bities ), Brentley and Lani and I felt bad that I didn't know if I was going to Lani's Christmas party or not . I think she was annoyed at me .
Anyway...this entry's about going over to Angel's ( dev:demimondaine: ) house so I'll get to that now. We went back to Em's to pick up Angel's Christmas present then we went to Angel's house but had much difficulty finding it lol. We're so hopeless. It took us 15 minutes driving her suburb trying to look for her street. It was one of those times you wish you had a phonebook in your car so you could just go to the maps and find where you want to go. Shush, males. I'M FEMALE BUT I CAN READ MAPS! >_<;;
We had to call Angel's home to ask how to get to her place. Felicia (Angel's sister) picked up and I think she was a little confused as to why we were looking for her house. FINALLY we found it but Angel wasn't home yet so I messaged Angel saying "GO HOME!". I think she was quite confused when she got my message. She replied going "I'm just getting dinner, I'm on my way home. Why do I have to go home?". I didn't want to tell her why so I just replied going "JUST GO HOME! NOW! >:0" then she got slightly worried and asked if her dad was mad at her or something. Then I said "YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE! THERE IS A FIRE INSIDE!" xD. "A Fire Inside" was Emily's contribution since she is obsessed with the band AFI (A Fire Inside). Soon she arrived home and we first played Christmas Hangman and Christmas 20 Questions. Emily managed to hang me with "Candle" but I managed to hang her with "Hay". Hehe...
Later we just talked to each other about anything and everything for hours and hours while eating pizza, mini sanwiches and warm sushi . It was so good to have a conversation with your high school friends again.
We chatted until around 9pm then Emily and I decided to leave Angel alone with her family. While we were going outside we played with Elmo (Angel's dog) for a little bit. We taught it how to sit .
Okay, we left after training her dog how to sit. Then I went over to Emily's for a little while then Em took me home at around 10:30pm.

That was my weekend . See? A SHORT(er) ENTRY FROM ME! xD.

Anyhoo...take care, everyone!

WARNING! This is an EXTREMELY LONG journal entry…longer than usual anyway, so if you do NOT have the patience or concentration span to read all this then DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER THAN THIS PARAGRAPH! If you do, well…have fun wasting minutes of your life reading my blabber x).
The reason why this is so long is because I have been really tired over the past few days and could not be bothered updating…SO SLAP ME! Anyway…ON TO THE ENTRY, SHALL WE?

Saturday Evening
Emily called up to ask if we could do something on this evening. I managed to scab a funny quote off her over the phone (since it’s one of my hobbies to collect funny quotes from people). I quoted “I can download my laptop” (Emily Williams, 09/12/2006). Hehe…she was meant to say that she can bring her laptop. Em managed to get a quote off me though. I said “Let’s watch Westlife Story”. Em said “Oh goodness…I don’t want to know about their story (band). I think you mean WestSIDE Story”.
Anyway…she came over at around 9pm and we went to Video Ezy to rent out some DVD’s to watch. We rented “Bride & Prejudice”, “The Proposition” and “Kung Fu Hustle”.
When we went back home the first thing we watched was “Bride & Prejudice”. Even though the acting was bad and the singing was corny, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was fun to watch. Then we watched “The Proposition” which is an Australian Western film. The way the film was choreographed was absolutely beautiful! The imagery of it all was great. Some parts of the movie was quite gory though and I didn’t understand more than half of the plot but the acting from all the characters and the film techniques used were absolutely stunning. English Studies has made me appreciate movies more…it has helped me find deeper meaning in films. However most other students say that English Studies has ruined movies for them…
Anyway…it was about 2am in the morn after we finished watching “The Proposition” so we went to bed.

Sunday
JASPER ARRIVED TODAY!! *bounce bounce bounce*
I woke up at 8 because I had to teach Kae-jenn at 9 in the morn. Emily woke up a little bit later. She soon left because she had to go shopping with her mum and sister. After I finished teaching Kae-jenn, mum and I went to Casuarina. Angel ( ~DEMIMONDAINE ) messaged me earlier saying that she was shopping with her mum so I met up with her in K-mart. I was really happy to see Angel again since I’ve only seen her once since she arrived…
Angel’s mum and my mum wandered off somewhere so it was just Angel and me walking around Cas. I helped Angel look for a Christmas present for her mum and suggested a cooking utensil. However, Angel’s mum already has a lot of those…I still don’t know if she’s managed to find a Christmas present for her mum yet…
Later we were accompanied by Emily and we just wandered around Cas aimlessly doing some shopping here and there.
Soon Angel and her mum had to leave so it was just Em and I left. First I took mum to Zushi Bar and treated her with sushi for lunch ^^. Later I went off with Emily. Her and her family took us to Target in Palmeston to do some clothes shopping. Jasper soon arrived and he called us several times asking where we were and if we were coming or not. Poor Emily felt really bad because Jasper waited for us in Casuarina for an hour and Emily was the one who decided to go to Palmeston with her mum and sister.
FINALLY we got out of Palmeston and met up with Jaspey Waspey at the Eatery. As soon as he saw me he gave me a big brotherly hug (we’ve converted him into a hugging machine…) and Emily claimed I went red . We had sushi for lunch at Zushi Bar. Jasper’s appetite has not changed at the slightest. It was as big as an Elephant’s apetite…
After we finished lunch we walked around and Emily tried on clothes at Supré and poor Jasper was bored again lol. Then we walked over to NT Comics and Jasper bought some sort of Warhammer magazine. After that we went over to Emily’s house and watched “Kung Fu Hustle”. I don’t think Emily thought highly of the movie but I could tell that Jasper thoroughly enjoyed it xD. When we finished watching it, Emily gave us a lift home.

Monday
Jasper came over at about 10:30 in the morn. He came in at a bad time because at the time I was trashing my entire house looking for my concert band uniform. Jasper must be my lucky star though because shortly after he came, I found it under a clean folded towel. Why it was there…I had no idea…
At 11 we caught the bus to the city. I had a band rehearsal at 12:30 at the Darwin Entertainment Centre (DEC). We got there at 12 so we walked over to the Mitchell Centre to look for Eliza’s work place. I thought she said it was at the Mitchell Centre but we couldn’t find it anywhere. At a quarter past 12 we walked over to DEC and Jasper was bored watching our band rehearse for an hour and a half…SORRY JASPEY WASPEY! After band rehearsal, Samantha ( ~Chizxa )joined us. We went to Boost Juice and had Boost . At 3:20 we caught the bus back to my place. Sam and Jasper watched a few eps of Naruto on my computer while I took a shower and got changed into my band uniform. Samantha was already changed into it.
At 5 we caught the bus back to the city. We arrived at DEC at 6 and met up with Angel. Angel was in high spirits because she got to see the band members, teachers and old friends again . Jasper and Angel went to sit at the audience while Samantha and I were back stage getting ready to perform with the school band. Oh, I forgot to mention that the occasion was for Darwin High School Presentation Night where students receive their academic awards for the year. Anyway…we performed alright. Better than our rehearsal anyway. The stage was too big for us to hear each other properly…
After our performance some of us sat at the students section of the audience and watched the rest of the presentation night. Samantha had an award for winning first in this big Mathematics competition, surprise surprise…XD.
Presentation night finished at around 9:30pm and by then there were no more buses running . Sam, Jasper and I took a taxi back to Jasper’s place. It was funny during our taxi ride because Samantha’s parents were expecting us to get a lift from Jasper’s mum and at one stage Sam’s parents’ car was driving right next to our taxi so Sam was like “ARGH! IT’S MY PARENTS’ CAR! DUCK!” *she ducks*. It was hilarious. The taxi driver was driving past them so he said “Hmm…your parents hey? I guess I should slow down a bit so they can see you’re here…” . He did for a little while to scare Sam but then he sped up again and we soon lost Sam’s parents by miles. That was so funny. The taxi driver was cool.
By 9:45 we were back at Jasper’s house. First we played Dance Dance Revolution on Jasper’s PS1. I sucked so bad because the arrows were not on time with the music and a muso like me can’t deal with stepping off-beat from the music >_<;;. Jasper and Sam kicked butt though because they managed to shut the music out and just concentrate on the arrows. Anyhoo, we soon got tired of DDR so we played Mahjong, along with Vivian, Jasper’s 11 year old sister until 1am in the morning. It was the first time I’ve played Mahjong ever and I won my very first game too ! Apparently my result was really nice too. Beginner’s luck! Samantha pretty much won the rest of the games for the rest of the night though...surprise surprise…
At 1am we said goodbye and Sam’s mum took me home.

Tuesday
TODAY WAS AN AWESOME DAY!!! I HAD THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD TODAY!!! ^^
I met up with Jasper in Cas at around 1:30pm. I went to get Boost Juice to hydrate myself before I had to donate blood with Eliza ( ~longleggedfly ), Kylie and Joanna at 1:50. After finishing my delicious Boost Juice Jasper and I walked over to the Red Cross Blood Bank and waited there until everyone else came. I was excited for Jasper and Eliza to meet each other ^^. I was also excited to see Eliza, Kylie and Joanna since I haven’t seen Eliza and Kylie since after the exams and Joanna since…oh goodness knows when…
I did a funny thing while I was filling out the form. There was a question that said “Are you pregnant or are you breast feeding?” and I accidentally ticked “Yes” >_<;;. Luckily Jasper saw my error and harassed me about it so I realised and corrected it. How embarrassing…now Jasper keeps saying that I’m pregnant !
Soon those of us who were donating got interviewed. My interview took a while because it was my first time and I went to Malaysia so they have to be precautious with my blood since I’ve been to a place where Malaria was present. Hopefully my blood’s okay to donate. I got my finger pricked to see my haemoglobin content. I had an impressive 150g/L. Funny how I was anaemic last year but now I’m anything BUT anaemic…
Finally it was time for me to get drained! The chair was comfy ^^. I got Jasper to watch me get drained. I think he was impressed because he thought I was a wimp and I had this HUUUUUUUGE needle stuck in my vein and got nearly half a litre of blood drained out of me. It was so cool! It didn’t hurt at all and I was so incredibly happy knowing that I was about to save 3 lives. I wanted to be a blood donor for the longest time and today I was finally one! I can’t wait to do my next donation!
I feel bad for Eliza though because she was 2g/L under the efficient level of haemoglobin so she couldn’t donate and they had to defer her donations for 6 months. She didn’t seem happy. It seems weird for her to have dropped so low in a short period of time though. I hope there’s nothing wrong with her.
After our donations, Eliza, Emma, Jasper and I walked around Cas to do some Christmas shopping. I thought it was fun fun fun walking with these three crazy people xD. I was probably crazier than the three of them put together though. Jasper said that Eliza was interesting around me lol. I seem to bring out the stupidity/craziness in people since I am stupid/crazy myself x). I managed to buy a present for [insert name here] and [insert another name here]. I’m not mentioning the names just in case they read this and they haven’t received their present yet (although they should have already). At 5:30 the stores were closing so we all went home.
At 8pm Jasper came over my place with his laptop so he could scab some stuff off my computer. At 9 Samantha came over. We helped Jasper get stuff off my computer until 11pm, the time Jasper had to go home. Sam was sleeping over so after that we watched Naruto until 2:30 in the morning. Sam, that little bugger wasn’t sleepy lol, but I was. If I wasn’t we probably would’ve kept on watching til goodness knows when haha…

Wednesday
Samantha and I woke up at 9. We got ready to leave and walked over to Casuarina library and arrived there at 10. We met up with Jasper, John ( ~gunblade7777777 ), Eugene and Andrew. First I versed John on Go (Japanese containment chess) and I lost to him as expected, even though I had 9 handicap lol. After that the guys played Yu-gi-oh for a while. Sam and I got bored so we went to Cas to walk around before meeting up with the guys again to have lunch. Everyone had KFC but I had a chicken salad wrap and a multi-v juice from some sandwich store. Hehe…Eugene was shocked with horror . He said “WHAT?! You health freak! Go sit in that corner over there and eat your healthy food!”. How mean .
After lunch we were going to walk to NT Comics but it was raining heavily outside and Sam and I weren’t allowed to get wet so we went to Einstein’s instead. Jasper and I versed each other in this car racing game, he won of course. Then we played DDR and the guys were quite impressive.
After that Sam and I went home.

Thursday
Today I spent pretty much the whole day writing out letters, Christmas cards and went Christmas shopping. I was quite stressed today actually because there was some mail I had to send by today. However, today I discovered Express Mail haha…Apparently they’d arrive at their destination within the next business day for Australia. That is fast…
Anyhoo…today I spent hours and hours looking for a present for [insert name here] and [insert another name here]. I hope they like their presents. I gift wrapped them up, put them in parcels and sent them by 4. I also sent the present I bought on Tuesday for [insert two names here]. I wonder if they’ve received them yet. Wah! How exciting! I love giving people presents! I was bankrupt by the end of today though haha…
Anyhoo, I went home and got ready for work at Ming Court. I haven’t worked there for a while so it was good to see Sarah again. Tonight was a relatively quiet night and I finished an hour and a half early at 8 so I drove to Jasper’s place to visit for a bit. I just watched a bit of cartoons with Vivian. I stayed until 9:30 then went home to sleep.

Friday
I went over to Jasper’s house at around 11am then I went to the city with Jasper, Vivian and their mum to have lunch at Noodle House. We had fried rice noodles, stir fry vegies, and crispy skin chicken. After lunch we walked around the city looking for some store. I FOUND WHERE ELIZA WORKED! Actually Jasper found it first. It was in Cavennagh St xD. Too bad we found where it was while we were driving away from the city…
Later we went to Parap and collected some parcels for Jasper and Vivian. Then we went back to Jasper’s place. Jasper and I played DDR for a bit. Both my ankles were in a lot of pain so I stopped playing, then we watched some animé I forgot the name of, “Elven Light” or something like that. It was um…kinda gross… :/. Then Jasper’s mum took us to Cas and we played in Einstein’s for a bit then I went home to get ready for work at Ming Court again.
It was a full house at Ming Court tonight. It was the busiest I’ve ever experienced at Ming Court. Sarah and I were running around everywhere, not stopping to take a breath at all. I’ve also never answered so many phone calls in my life. It didn’t help when my hearing was terrible either…Sarah and the chefs were all grumpy because it was such a busy night so I tried me best to cheer everyone up with my so-called “cuteness”. It took a while but soon, when it wasn’t quite so hectic anymore, I managed to crack a smile from everyone .
We finished work at around midnight then I went home to sleep.

That was pretty much my week. Sorry this was so long. Haha, this entry’s taken me 2.5 hours to write xD.

Anyway…everyone take care this festive season!

Mission
On Friday I had this song stuck in my head all day. It was a song I had but I didn't know the name of the song or who the artist was. It was a song with a catchy tune and I quite liked it but it was driving me insane. I suspected it was by "Modest Mouse" at first so I looked through all their songs on my iTunes but nope, I was wrong. I knew it was in my indie/alternative playlist so I put my playlist (which had 607 songs on it) on random (listening to only the beginning of the songs) until the song would play. I would've looked up the lyrics on google but the only words I could remember were "Doom doom doom DEE DUM!" and that doesn't help . I also remembered how the guitar part went very well too but of course I can't look that up hehe.
So there I was...being driven to the edge of sanity looking through my long list of songs for hours and hours. I could've given up and went to bed, which would've been a sensible thing to do but I didn't want to give up. I turned it into a mission. I WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL I FIND THE NAME AND ARTIST OF THIS SONG! I thought to myself. I think I started searching at around 10:30pm. I was talking to Erik while I was at it. I think he was either amused or annoyed at my frustration . Then I finally found the song at around 3am (crazy, I know...). It was "You Only Live Once" by The Strokes. I was kicking myself when I discovered this. My second suspicion was The Strokes but I so carelessly skimmed over their songs I didn't realise that the song I was looking for was amongst them. Gargh! >_<;; I would've gone to bed so much earlier!
I felt great happiness when I found the song. It made me fall in love with the song because of the effort I went through to find it lol.
Well...that was my mission...mission successful!

Zone 3
On Saturday, Angel arrived in Darwin from Melbourne . I was excited to see her and everyone else today ^^. We were going to play two games at Zone 3. Katerina came over at around 12 so she could get a lift with me from Emily. Emily came at about half past 12 and drove us to Zone 3. We were earlier than most. When everyone else arrived I was just sitting down all frozen up. I haven't seen my high school friends for so long and I was all teary because I was so happy to see them. I kind of got shy too, which was dumb because they're my buddies but I just...bleh...couldn't talk to them properly . Back to my old shy self I suppose...grr...I was getting so outgoing! >_<;;
We started playing at quarter to 1. We split up in a red, blue and yellow team. I was in the blue team along with Angel, Lani, Emily and Liz. The red team had Anand, Ross, Andy, Katerina and Samantha, the yellow team had Erin, Brentley, Dale and Alex. The yellow team flogged the rest of us by MILES! Especially because of Dale (and the others in that team weren't far behind). DANG THEM ! I bet if Erin is reading this she'll probably cackle at me right now or something x). My team came last for the first game but at least I came first of my team (but only because I was shooting the bases a lot which earns you lots of points but requires no skill anyway...). The second game we didn't have bases so we were doooomed. The yellow team won (by miles) again but at least blue came second (but only JUST!). It was quite fun x) and I was told that my straps on my top were "radioactive" because they were white and we were running around in ultraviolet lighted rooms.
After we finished our games we all scattered around doing whatever >_>;;. Emily gave Anand, Katerina and me a lift. First Emily dropped Anand home then we went to Casuarina to buy boost. Then Emily dropped me home so I could start teaching.

On Sunday (yesterday) I had to go to Zone 3 again because it was Mengyang's birthday party and that's where she was having it lol. I met up with Samantha, her dad and Grace at Cas then Sam's dad gave us a lift to Zone 3. To my surprise I knew just about everyone who came which was a good thing because I thought I was going to be a loner haha . I was in the red team this time and GRR...NICK KEPT ON SHOOTING ME! >_<;; Samantha did too. Samantha got ranked 1 in one of the games, I got ranked 2 in the same game. Haha...it was because of the bases again xD. We played more games than we did on Saturday. During the games I was literally terrified of Nick and Sam. Nick because he was such a sharp shooter and Sam because she was an evil little midget with good stealth who pounced at any moment and shot you. Grr...
Well, I got my fair share of good shots too. Nick and I kept double shooting each other (which is when we both kill each other at the same time haha...).
Then we played a game called Vampire and Mengyang was the vampire. After you shoot the vampire it comes back to life immediately, it was immortal, and the rest of us only had 15 lives. Funnily enough, Mengyang was more terrified of us than we were terrified of her xD. I thought that was rather funny hehe. I was the second last survivor but Samantha...because of her good stealth had 7 lives left to spare and was declared the winner. She was wondering why everyone was chasing after her though in the end...gee, Sammy...it could be because THE REST OF US TURNED INTO VAMPIRES AND YOURE THE ONLY ONE LEFT?! xD. So cute...
When we came out, the Zone 3 guy told us that was the longest "Vampire" game in Zone 3 history. He was impressed. I'm thinking it could be because Mengyang was vampire who was terrified of the mortals .
After our games we sat outside and had some snacks then we went for a walk to McDonald's where the next party venue was.

Rain!
As soon as we stepped out of the Zone 3 building the sky was filled with dark grey clouds and it started to rain. Hehe...it was going to be a fun walk...
The walk took a good 20 minutes and the rain kept on coming harder and harder. We were soaked to the bone! I'm glad that neither of us females were wearing white .
I thought to myself that I was going to get in huge trouble by mother when I get home because I was soaking wet to the bone. I didn't care at the time though because it was so much fun, it felt so good...
We finally got our wet selves to Maccas and made all the floor wet as we trudged in lol. We made our orders (Mengyang shouted us...how nice of her...) and after we did, Mengyang told us "What's wrong with you people? It was only $54.80!" or something like that haha. I don't know why she's disappointed that the 9 of us at the time only made a grand total of $54.80 worth of orders x). It was her money after all...and she's disappointed that we didn't order enough?! Ahh well x).
We happily munched on our food and discussed random things. Here's an intelligent quote from Fangie for you all:
"Did you just urinate on the wall?! "
Everyone turned their heads at me and laughed
Nick was talking to Sam while she was leaning on the wall and I thought I heard Sam say "I think I just urinated" or something like that (I never found out what she really said) and I was like WHAT?!. Hehe...yes, I have the worst hearing x).
Mum arrived to take me home at 10 to five and she was FURIOUS when she saw how wet I was. I got grounded for the rest of the holidays and I'm not allowed to see anyone . I hope Mum was only being overheated at the time and would reconsider because that's just HARSH...I CAN'T HELP IT IF THE WEATHER DECIDED TO DISAGREE WITH OUR WALKING TIME...and I've never EVER been grounded before...AND I'M 18 FOR GOODNESS SAKES! >_<;;
All my friends from downsouth are/going to be up for the hols too....it's too cruel! T_T

My grades suck!
Today Samantha was going to come over but didn't because she forgot to take her shoes into the house last night so her mother didn't allow her to anymore. Hmm...I guess Sam and I have mothers who are harsh with punishments...*sigh*.
Well, because she's not here, I am writing this blog now, then I got to go get ready to work at Skycity. I don't know how long I'm working for today, I just know I start at 2pm and they didn't say what time it'd finish. I hope it doesn't go for too long because my boss at Fox & Hounds Café wants to treat us staff for dinner...I told her I might not be going though. Bleh...I work too much!
Oh yeah...(looks at the subheading of this section to remind her what this section is supposed to be about) our semester grades are released today so about an hour ago I checked my results.
They suck...
I got Credit for all my subjects, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry...*sigh*. I'm disappointed because I worked so hard this semester. I guess one thing I did wrong was not revising the topic after each lecture. I'm going to do that next year. I hope I will anyway hehe...
I was initially aiming to get High Distinction for everything. Then I realised how hard it was so I was aiming to get all Distinctions but by the time the exams were going to start I realised how hard it was to remember everything and that I'd be lucky if I got all Credit...
It sucks because I was on a High Distinction for A & P , and a Distinction for Bio and Chem. Bah! Stupid weighting of exams!
Well...I'm relieved I passed because I was having some doubts of even passing after I completed my exams. All Credit is all that I need to transfer to Adelaide anyway. I sincerely hope Eliza, Kylie, Kyle and Jade did alright...

Anyway...that completes my entry for today. Sorry, it's a long one again...
Now...I must be ready to head off to work.
Take care everyone!

Place: My room

Weather: A little stuffy but not too bad

Mood: Drained X_x;;

I'm not going to talk about me working for 15 hours today because that would just be incredibly boring so I'll just talk about the parliament house today. Hopefully this will for once be a short blog.

I left the café at half past one and set foot to the parliament house which was about a 10 minute walk away. When I walked into the entrance I was feeling slightly intimidated by all the guards and baggage checks and surveilance cameras. It felt like I was in "Border Security". I showed one of the guards my invite and he told me to sit and wait at the main hall so I did so. Soon some more people with the same invite as me came in. Everyone else who was there were at least 40 :/. I felt alienated. What am I doing here? I didn't know yet. The madam speaker lady led the group of us to the court room and educated us a little about opposition parties discuss topics of the law here. Then we were led upstairs to this concealed by glass room to watch the politicians walk in, sit down, and debate. I thought it was going to be boring but it was thoroughly amusing. I personally knew Claire Martin (the chief minister of the Norther Territory) and Kon Vadskalis (the sports & recreations minister of the NT) through their sons. This was the first time I ever saw them as politicians. They were members of the Australian Labour Party (ALP). The opposition leader of the Central Liberal Party (CLP) was quite argumentative and sarcastic. She threw a million questions at Claire Martin and annoyed the heck out of the madam speaker getting her to shout "Order, order!" a few dozen times lol. I swear, if there wasn't this huge gap between the opposite parties, they would've strangled one another. The topic most discussed today was about to road laws of the Northern Territory. The NT has the worst road deaths and accidents statistics in Australia by far and possibly the world. On Sunday a 17 year old male died while he was driving to Katherin. He was thrown off his vehicle and his car was engulfed in flames. It's sad...
Even though it was amusing watching the politicians shout their hate messages across the room, the debate did have an impact on me. It made me realise how very real it was that a Territorean died on the road every week...hopefully with the new laws there will be less to no deaths in the future.
After watching the politicians unleash their inner angry beasts upon each other, Kent, the security guard gave us a tour around the parliament house. The state library was beautiful! I wish I could go there everyday. The art galleries were cool too, although they kinda freaked me out...all these paintings of old men 10 times your size just gazing down on you...
After our tour we had afternoon tea. I tried peppermint tea for the first time because I was curious to what it would taste like. It was quite nice but Earl Grey or Chrysanthemum is still my fave. They had chocolate chip cookies ^^ .
We finished at 3:30pm, then I walked to the bus depot and took my half hour ride home to get ready to work at Ming Court as quickly as possible.

Okay, so this entry isn't as short as I'd hope for it to be but it's an improvement...right?! AN IMPROVEMENT BY MORE THAN 2 LINES...RIGHT?!?!?!? I hope so. I'll shut up now.

Love you lots!

Dragon Palace
At 6pm Mum and I had a dinner to go to at Dragon Palace at Skycity with John & Muni and their two gorgeous daughters, Janelle & Jillian (whom we used to babysit).
As I was driving there, there was this lunatic motorcyclist who I swear was trying to ram me from behind going about 120km/h in a 60 zone...I had to swerve to my right, halfway onto the road where oncoming traffic could've crashed into me just so I wouldn't have the cyclist ram the back of the car. Far out...he was nuts! Then when he was driving past me he gave me a dagger. What the heck was his problem? He wasn't like being chased or anything...and soon I was overtaking him again...what was the point of speeding and nearly causing and accident?! Poor mum was in shock...luckily the opposite lane didn't have cars close enough to crash into me.
We arrived there about 15 minutes and walked around the spots we haven't been to in the casino.
It was to celebrate Janelle and Jillian's birthdays. Janelle is now 6 and Jillian is 3. These two girls always have huge grins on their faces (although Jillian also pouts a lot too just to get what she wants hehe... ).
I can't remember what we ate lol...it was nice though x).
Surprise, surprise, Alfred (a friend of mine who worked with me at Best & Less) works as a waitress in Dragon Palace . He's everywhere X_x;;. Kinda like me these days with 4 jobs lol. Funny how I was a computer bum for the year and teaching piano a few hours a week...now I'm always working hehe. Life is much more exciting x).
Janelle didn't eat a thing from the restaurant and ate all the lollies she gave me (haha...). Jillian was running around our table in circles a few hundred times x). Energetic little bugger she is x).
I spent the entire night trying really hard to chase after Jillian taking photos of her. I succeeded taking many many photos....of the back of her head
Well I submitted some photos of the two lovely little girls in my gallery. They never fail to warm my heart with their lovely smiles (and their sometimes cruel bashing-me-to-death actions ).
Well...yeah...I just ran around after the two girls trying to take many many photos of them and when we tired out, we went home.

Sore Calves
I had the weekend off so I decided to play soccer with the Alawa Devils in the afternoon on Sunday after teaching across the road from my house. I miss soccer so much, but I'm pretty much a beginner now after not playing properly for over 3 years (well, really it's 11 years when I played soccer properly for a club when I was 8...but I played a little bit in year 10 for the high school girl's team...only for like...a month though because I SPRAINED MY ANKLE! >:0)...
Far out, I am so unfit...we were only 15 minutes into the game and I was already puffing like mad...I haven't done this much exercise for like...a year...haha xD.
I played left defense (the position I had in high school) and yeah...my aim right now is to not trip over the ball hehe. I tripped over the ball in year 11 and um...sprained my ankle . I am sooooo Theirry Henry, aren't I? xD
Anyhoo...I was going to play this arvo after work today too except Stephen paid me a visit xD. I was asleep on my bed and he walked over to my bedroom window and knocked on it really loud and I woke up going "AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" and he laughed at me . I couldn't hear him knocking on the front door so he had to walk over to my bedroom window...
He wanted to borrow some books from uni so we both walked to the uni library and used my library card to borrow some philosophy books out for him. Stephen seems to be in better moods now that his second attempt in year 12 is over for him . I'm pretty sure he's going to get a TER of over 90, he's really smart. He wants to do Computer Science/Philosphy at University of Melbourne as a double degree *dies* X_x;;. That's tough stuff...
After we borrowed a couple of books I invited him back to my place for a drink of water and a chat. It's been ages since the both of us just sat and chatted to each other like this. Stephen talks on and on and on really, really fast but it's comforting. Much better than in 2005 when he was always depressed.
At 5 he went back home.
Now I am complaining about my sore calves X_x;;. They're aching from soccer...hopefully they'll stop aching over night.

I LIVE!! x)
Not much to say in this section...except that I am currently on gaia posting every now and then on ~Bities's thread. I haven't been on gaia for like a year...forgot it even existed lol. Yeah...I'm back from the dead on gaia. I don't know if I'm back to be on frequently though. I might just forget about gaia again haha xD. I don't know what to do there anyway. There's nothing I want to buy...
I guess my friends on there are reasons enough x)

Tomorrow after working at the cafe I gotta go to the parliament house for some reason. They gave me an invite to go and it's all formal and stuff. I'm so confused though. I'm not someone important...and they want me there O_o;;. Well...I guess I'll find out why tomorrow ^^.

Anyhoo...I think this entry's a little bit shorter...don't you think?

Well, take care, everyone! Love you!

Thursday, 23rd November
Today I was going to work at the café from 10am to 3pm but I only ended up working 10-12 because my dad came over and kidnapped me lol. The boss is friends with my dad so she didn't have a problem with me just leaving. I felt so bad though because 12 is the worst hour to leave because by that time we had customers lining up from outside the door to the counter...it was insane! I just left Helen all by herself to serve those 50 odd people lining up for food.

Dad took me to Yum Cha Restaurant and Auntie Heng joined us as well. From those nights of folding napkins at Ming Court I had a silly urge to fold the boring napkin in front of me in this restaurant that were folded into boring triangles into a crown. So I did...lol. I turned it into a napkin crown, Ming Court style xD. Yeah, I'm silly like that...BUT I WAS BORED, OKAY? AND IT'S GOOD PRACTISE! xD.
We had chow ho fun (fried rice noodles), chow mien (fried noodles) and char siew (BBQ pork) for lunch. Halfway through lunch Jade and her mum and boyfriend came into the restaurant.
"Jade!" *Jade looks around but keeps walking*. "JADE!" *she looks at me* "OH HI!!" xD. I told her that Eliza and I couldn't go out with her on Friday night and she looked quite disappointed . I couldn't go because I had to work at Ming Court and Eliza had this charity thing going on every Friday night where she feeds the homeless (isn't that such a nice thing to do? ). So, Jade and I discussed that we should make it Saturday night, so I messaged Eliza to ask but she was busy Saturdays too, so then we discussed to have it on Thursday, but Eliza had a Christmas party thing *grumbles* so then we made it Sunday but Eliza hasn't replied to that yet :/. HURRY UP AND REPLY, ELIZA! xD

After we finished lunch, Dad dropped Auntie Heng at the Casino then dad took me to Casuarina to do some short shopping. I bumped into Kylie and told her our get together thing was off until we can find a day that all of us were free. Then I went to JB Hifi and bought "Black Holes & Revelations" by Muse even though I already had all the songs in that album in mp3. They're worth my money lol. Too bad I can't see them in the Big Day Out next year because I gotta save money for uni and the tickets are sold out already anyway. I'm kicking myself because of that >_<;;. Dad dropped me home at quarter to three then I started teaching at 3. Mila was still showing good progress. I'm glad ^.^. SHE'S STEALING ALL THE STICKERS AND LOLLIES FROM MY OTHER STUDENTS! Lol. SHUSH! IT'S NOT BRIBING! IT'S AN ACT OF LOVE! >:0. Well, it's not bribing anyway...it's rewarding...! I don't give them anything if they haven't practised or improved. I TELL THEM OFF LIKE A SCARY MOTHER! >:0 (ask Rebecca about the scary mother thing...she'll tell you I can be quite scary hehe...).

Well, that was pretty much my day. I didn't work at Ming Court tonight because tomorrow night Ming Court is fully booked so I had to stay home and study the menu so I can serve better and more efficiently. I was feeling quite nervous about that being a trainee waitress serving a fully booked restaurant etc :S.

Friday 24th November
Samantha came over at 8 in the morn. She didn't have class til 1:40 so yeah, we just stayed in my room watching Naruto for the entire time again lol. Don't worry, ToMMo...I'll watch Bleach and the other animes you mentioned to me some time next year. It's funny how throughout my highschool years I had no interest in anime. My friends were all crazy about it and I just kinda...sat back...and eyerolled at them...hehe. They've all been pestering me to watch Naruto for years so I gave in and started watching it this year and BLARGH! I HATE YOU ALL! YOU GOT ME ADDICTED! >_<;;

At 12:30, Samantha and I walked to the bus stop near my house so she could catch the bus to school. Before the bus arrived, Quynh Giao (our piano teacher) drove past and offered Samantha a lift since she was going that direction anyway. Sam accepted the offer and off she went to school. I went back home and studied the Ming Court Menu some more. I was so nervous about the night approaching...

I took an hour to get ready for work trying to look as presentable as I could. The uniform is just like the uniform I had to wear when I worked at "Best & Less". Black fitting top, pants, and shoes. One day I should turn up at Ming Court with a yellow shirt or something and see how they'd react hehe

The first 2 hours was fairly quiet. Just a few orders over the phone every now and then, but after 7:30 the restaurant got hectic. The dining customers all came in at this time and we immediately courteously accommodated them to the best of our abilities and tried to juggle our dining service with the phone orders. Man...so much running around and multitasking. I felt like my head was going to explode. I gotta say I've developed this phobia of opening champaign bottles lol. I'm so pathetic hehe. I squint everytime I try to open one hehe. I guess I still need more experience with the alcohol stuff (NOT DRINKING! OPENING BOTTLES, KNOWING THE NAMES AND SERVING THEM, YOU GIT!). I soon adapted to the multitasking and found it wasn't as intimidating than I anticipated it to be. It was quite fun actually and the people dining in were all so friendly and I actually had really nice conversations with them . There were some young kids that were around too who helped me clear the tables and stuff too. They were such little darlings .

Sarah poked blue dots on my arm again. I swear, she's doing it to sabotage my presentable appearance just so she can be the most presentable waitress xD. That night I met May, another waitress. She was cool too and yes, she was another victim of Sarah's. May and I tried to gang up on her but Sarah was too smart for our own good. She soon highlighted our arms with different coloured highlighters -.-;;. Sarah finished at 9, and May finished at 10. I was there until 11:30 and I was like "NOOOOO! THE NEW WAITRESS IS LEFT ALL BY HERSELF!!" but I survived...yay! x).
These two guys gave me a $40 tip...nyahahaha....I GOT TIPSIES!! WOOO!!! . I like this waitressing business. You meet interesting people, it's good adrenaline rush and you learn so much . I'm glad I got to have this experience. No, I'm not gonna be a waitress forever. I have bigger plans...

Anyhoo...after clearing the tables and cleaning all those glasses and dishes, I finally got to go home. When I came home, I scared my mother with my bloodshot eyes. I didn't realise my eyes were so bloodshot. I was wondering why the kitchenhand people were telling me to go home early and I just said "Nah, I'm fine, and you need all the help you could get."
My feet and lowerback were in pain but I wasn't feeling tired at all surprisingly. In fact I was quite happy. I thought tonight I was going to disappoint but I got through it alright . I'm glad ^^.
When I got home, I immediately took a shower, had dinner (yes...dinner at midnight lol...). Then I realised Emily messaged me while I was at work but I only just got it then. She asked if I wanted to go see "Borat" tomorrow evening. Unfortunately I couldn't because I had to work again I WANT TO GO SEE BORAT!!!!
Then I watched Rage on TV until 2am. I still wasn't tired at 2am but I thought I best get to sleep. It took me about an hour to get to sleep...my body was all worn out but my mind was whizzing around, I guess it's from working. Mih...this waitressing life takes a while to get used to...

Saturday 25th November
Woke up at 10am, browsed around dA, checking a few comments and deviations here and there, then wrote this journal entry x).
Today I should clean my room. I said I'd do it straight after the exams but I never got around doing it. It's a mess!
Mmk...I'll stop this entry now....I have this habit of writing novels for my journal entries.

Take care everyone and happy thanksgiving! LOVE YOU ALL!

Time started: 8:20am

Place: My room

Weather: A lovely overcast ^^

Mood: Quite happy :D

Woke up at 6 in the morn yesterday to get ready to go to work at the cafe. I took the bus there and was greeted by the other fellow workers of the cafe.

Usually first thing, we'd make about 200 coffees but today was relatively quiet. It was quiet until quarter to 11 so I messaged Samantha wishing her the best of luck for the Chemistry test she had yesterday and Eliza because I was bored. Soon after I messaged them about 40 people came in at the same time and the lot of us got very busy mostly making sandwhiches for them, from one sandwhich to the next, non-stop and this went on for about 2 hours. Haha...so much for being a quiet day xD. It was heaps fun though, especially when the customers ask for EVERYTHING in their sandwhich and I'm trying very hard to not let the vegies topple over like an avalanche as I pile them up.

The hot foods didn't sell very well, but the sandwhiches...far out...we were RUNNING OUT OF BREAD!! GAAAAAAAAARGH!

The cafe closed at 2:30 and people STILL came in until 3 so we closed it late.

I made myself a toasted ham, cheese and tomatoe sandwhich (haha, I'm such an aussie) before we finished work. Helen dropped me home, that was very nice of her :). But then I had an hour to unstink my oily smell, get well dressed and go to work at the Ming Court restaurant.

How did I get greeted as soon as I came into the building? Sarah (the fellow waitress) got a pen and started poking me on the arm... :/...yeah, nice to see you too, Sarah xD. She's like 29 and acts like a 7 year old...seriously xD. It's cute.

Sarah: *pokes me with her pen on my arm* YOU HAVE CHICKEN POX! NYAHAHAHAHAHA!
Me: *looks at her funny* WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?!

Sarah: you make me jealous!

Me: what?! I didn't steal your husband!

Sarah: I'm jealous because *goes up to me and grabs my cheeks* YOU'RE SOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!! *continues to pinch them visciously*

Me: *sweat drop* Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! >_<;;

WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY I'M CUTE?!?! I AM NOT CUTE!!! AND WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND MY CHEEKS?! JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE CHUBBY AND ROSEY!! GAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!! *twitch*

The night before Sarah was like: How old are you?

Me: 18

Sarah: REALLY?!

Me: ....you thought I was younger, didn't you? -.-

Sarah: yeah...like...14 or 15 or something

Me: yeah I get that a lot -.- do I really look THAT young?!

Sarah: YES!

Me: *grumbles*

Sarah: it's a good thing!
Me: No it's not...people treat me like a baby T_T and then they pinch my cheeks and go "YOU'RE SO CUTE!" and GARGH! >_<;;

*mutters under her breath* bleh! >_<;;

Anyhoo...I like Sarah :). She's so much fun to be with and she's taught me a lot about waitressing. She makes me feel like I'm back in high school mucking around with a friend. We've only known each other for 3 days and already we're acting like close sisters.

Last night it was a quiet night for Chinese food but far out...we got orders every 2 minutes for Pizza and Alan & Vince (the pizza makers) were getting agitated with me coming into the kitchen with an order slip every 2 minutes. They were constantly on the go making pizza and it was frustrating when I talk to the customers over the phone when they order a pizza and I say "Unfortunately it's going to be an hour's wait because we've had a lot of pizza orders coming in in the past hour and we've only got 2 pizza chefs and one functioning oven" and they get all pissed off and GARGH! >_<;;

I feel so bad coming into the kitchen harrassing the boys, because when a customer comes in to pick their order up I go into the kitchen to see if they've finished and I always bug them saying "How long is it going to be for the order for Luke" or "Jenny's waiting outside, how long is it til her pizza's done?" and yeah...it sucks because they have like, 30 pizza orders coming in every hour. They got through the night though. They're amazing...

During the night these three customers came in to dine. They were an old couple and their son. It turned out to be their 48th wedding anniversary. We congratulated them and the champaign was on the house. It's amazing....48 years of marriage...and here I sit thinking about how marriage sucked these days and hardly ever last and last night, I witnessed the few remaining couples who make it so far...it's good that there are still marriages like that that exist today...*sigh* sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be that lucky... xD

Anyhoo, the restaurant got quiet after 9 so I folded napkins with my new napkin oragami skills for the rest of the night. I'm getting quite good at the folding thing xD. I've never folded so many napkins in my life xD.

At 10, Richard, my boss, dropped me home. I realised I worked for 14 hours today and I thought "wow...didn't think I could do that..." then I realised how tired mum must be, having to work for hours every...single...day...I felt bad not acknowledging how hard she works enough and now I know.

I ate my dinner when I got home then went to bed (noooo! I'm going to put on even MORE weight!).
Poor Eliza started work when I finished...that's gotta suck, having to start work at 10pm and finishing at goodness knows when.... :/

Today I'm only working at the cafe for 5 hours and that's it :). I'm not working at the restaurant tonight because I gotta study the menu a lot tonight since tomorrow night, the restaurant's fully booked and I have to be well prepared to help serve everyone. I'm excited but I'm dreading it because I don't know if I'm good enough to serve the entire restaurant by myself (Sarah's not working on Friday...LEAVING ME ALONE, THE TRAINEE, WHEN THE RESTAURANT'S FULLY BOOKED! HOW MEAN!!). T_T WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Anyway...I must get ready for work now.

*Sigh* turns out I'm heaps busier after the exams. So much for checking all my deviantart messages lol.

Friday 17^th November

Today I woke up the earliest I had in months. Samantha was coming over at 8 in the morn so yeah x). IT RAINED!! IT RAINED!! WE HAD SUCH GORGEOUS WEATHER ON THIS DAY! Nice light drizzle/overcast all day!

When Samantha came all we did was watch Naruto until 1pm xD (yes…many hours of staring at my computer monitor watching Naruto…that can’t be healthy…I now declare animé an addictive drug…). We did stop for a half hour break though because I cooked her spaghetti bolognaise xD.

At 1 we set off to Mengyang’s house which was near by. For the first few minutes we were very amused by her kitten chasing this ball around the living room and carelessly pouncing on it (and getting hit on the face by the curtain). Then we just watched “She’s the Man” on DVD. We didn’t do anything else lol.

Yep…that’s all the significant events of today.

Saturday 18^th November

I got woken up at 9 by my lovely mother shouting in my ear. I can’t think of a better way to be woken up…can you?

She wanted me to go shopping with her *grumbles*. I only went with her because it was McHappy day.

We arrived at Casuarina shopping centre at around 10 and the first place we went to was this jewellery store. I’m not a fan of jewellery but just to satisfy my mother I browsed around and had considerable looks at some items here and there. Soon I came across this section of silver locket necklaces. A few days ago I was walking around with Eliza and she was looking for silver lockets. We didn’t find much of variety though so when I encountered this entire section of silver lockets I messaged her about it telling her the prices they were around about and where they were located in the store just in case she was interested.

Then we just randomly walked around (mostly at the clothes stores because that’s pretty much all mum is interested in). Amazingly enough I bought two tops *le gasp! Min shopped for clothes!*. For lunch mum and I had Big Mac meals. I usually avoid eating McDonald’s but I did today because it was for charity since it was McHappy day. Just in case you don’t know what McHappy day is, it’s a day when McDonald’s donates $1 for every Big Mac burger sold to the Ronald McDonald’s house charity where they accommodate sick kids away from home and I think some funds go to hospitals and research for children’s diseases too. I also bought two rubber wrist bands where all funds go to the charity. Hehe, mum and I didn’t really enjoy our very unhealthy burgers but it was well worth it :). Practically everyone around us bought Big Macs and I was glad.

We went home at 1:30 (I can’t believe we’ve been shopping for 3.5 hours…). I came home and had a nap for an hour then I had to teach Melissa at 3. *Sigh* Melissa hasn’t practised her pieces. She wanted to learn Für Elise so I taught her a page and a half. Bleh…now both Melissa AND Kae-jenn are playing this piece x). They’re gonna start being competitive with each other now lol.

After I taught I went for a walk at the beach but in my solitude since Danmei no longer lived near by :(. It’s no fun walking to the beach by yourself…

I came home later in the evening, had dinner, and didn’t do much else but just bummed around on the computer til late.

Sunday 19^th November

TODAY WAS :iconkaokun:’s BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEX!!!

I didn’t have enough credit to send him a birthday sms after being bombarded with sms’s from Jade and Kylie today T_T. I taught for most of the day. Kae-jenn surprisingly got slack…(it must be the “Exam is done! I can slack now” attitude)…he said it was because he had a keyboard at home and not a piano (well, he had that excuse for a year now…didn’t stop him from doing well in the exam lol). Mila, however practised a lot and I’m impressed with her progress :D. She worried me for a while because she didn’t improve for about a month…I’m glad I got her back to two lessons a week.

After teaching I went for a walk again and came back for dinner. After dinner I was just in the living room watching TV with mum. I was in my PJs and everything…and then Jade and Kyle rock up my front gate and I was like “GARGH! I SAID I WASN’T GOING TO GO OUT WITH THEM TODAY!!!!! >:0”. Apparently Jade called me about 8 times today on my mobile. I didn’t receive any of them! I had my mobile with me the entire time! Anyhoo…Jade and Kyle kidnapped me to spend the night over at Jade’s. First we went to pick up Kylie along the way. We went to buy some drinks then went over to Jade’s and did nothing but indulge ourselves in front of Jade’s big wide screen TV (with cable) and Jade’s marvellous cooking ^^. We watched the last part of Australian Idol (Jessica Mauboy was a school mate of mine hehehe…I want Damien to win though) and then Shaun of the Dead which was funny…then this reality TV thing about blacks and whites in America :/. After that Jade dropped me home and I was home by 11 like Jade promised to my mother =P.

Monday 20^th November

I woke up at 6:30am, hopped on msn for a bit hoping it was still the 19^th in England so I could wish Alex happy birthday but obviously it wasn’t when he said “it was yesterday” *cries*. Ah well, he’s an understanding young man…you forgive me right, Kao? RIGHT?! >_>;;

I hopped off and got ready to go to Darwin High. I was out the door by 7 then caught the 7:30 bus to school. Everyone at the bus depot looked at me weird, knowing I graduated last year, saying “Hui-Min…what are you doing here O_o;;?!”. I got asked that about a squillion times when I got to school as well.

First off, as soon as I got to school, I walked around the different faculties to visit my ex teachers and took photos with them with Samantha. It was so nice to see them and I was glad they were glad to see me too hehe…

It was incredible seeing Ms Sparrow (my ex English Studies teacher) pregnant. I hope I could visit her at the hospital after her son’s birth in January :). Ms Sparrow’s incredible. She’s one of the very best teachers around and also a very good friend.

I didn’t do much else after going around seeing teachers. I hung out at the benches and chatted to my year 11 friends. The guys mostly played yu-gi-oh cards *eye roll* and I tried to teach Samantha and Brentley some Organic Chemistry since they had a test on Wednesday. With much difficulty, after a while, surprisingly Brentley wanted to study it with me but I don’t think I helped Samantha much xD. It doesn’t matter…Samantha doesn’t have to pass it anyway since she’s done enough year 12 subjects (and brilliantly) to get a decent TER and graduate from high school…even though she’s officially in year 11 and young enough to be in year 10…scary isn’t it?

Yeah…I took random photos of my friends and I then went home when school ended. I uploaded a few photos I took this day onto my deviantart gallery.

When school ended I caught the school bus home, manipulated and uploaded the photos onto my gallery then slept for a bit. Then I went to Ming Court to do my first night in waitressing. It was hard to learn how to take orders over the phone and serve at the tables and stuff like that but I soon got the hang of it. It was heaps fun :D. I worked until 9:30pm then went home and crashed.

Tuesday 21^st November

I woke up at 6:30am again and went to school for a bit so Samantha could hand in a Chemistry practical before recess. Then we came back to my place and watched Naruto for a few hours xD (yes…we were on drugs again hehe). At 1:30 Emily came over (watched one episode with us) and talked to us about her AFI experience in Melbourne. She’s over the moon she got to meet AFI. At 2 she drove us back to Darwin High because Samantha and I decided to turn up to band rehearsal for the first time in like, a year, after school. Samantha didn’t go to band rehearsal this year because of all her year 12 subjects and I didn’t go for obvious reasons, because I graduated from Darwin High hehe…

Today, during rehearsal, I found that the band had significantly dropped in numbers. I didn’t know if it was because half the band was wagging or there just wasn’t many this year anyway. I felt nostalgic during rehearsal today. I usually played the keyboard but Joseph Yuen who is in year 12 this year is on it so I played 1^st flute instead. Thank goodness my sight reading wasn’t as bad as I thought because our conductor put a lot of pressure on me telling the other flutes “This is Hui-Min, who was in year 12 last year, and was in the band for the past 5 years. She’s done her Amus on the piano so she’s a brilliant musician!” and I was thinking “NOOO! DON’T TELL THEM THAT! NOW THEY’RE GOING TO EXPECT ME TO BE GOOD, WHICH I AM NOT! >_<;;”. No, I am not being my modest self…my sight reading is shocking…seriously…I always had a bad, bad, BAD habit of playing by ear and memorising after one or two listens so I never read much thus it resulted to me being a hopeless sight reader…*cries*. Sight reading is an important skill which I do not have, unfortunately…so STOP PRAISING ME BEING A GREAT MUSICIAN! >_<;;

I went back home and got ready to go to Ming Court straight away. Tonight was a quite night. My first night was hectic…Oh…while I was home I only just realised I got a message from Jordan saying she finished year 12. CONGRATS, JORDAN! ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s good that it was a quiet night. The old staff had more opportunities to run things through with me. I’m getting the hang of this waitressing business :D. I quite enjoy it :D. I meet interesting customers and the cooks and other waitresses are just so nice :).

I finished at 9:30 again and now I’m on the computer writing about my week.

I’m going to end my blog now thought because tomorrow I got to work at the Fox & Hound Café Inn (first time working there in about 6 months) during the day from 7am-3pm at the city then I gotta work at Ming Court again from 5pm-9:30pm in Jingili. Woo…long day…I might end up BUSIER THAN I WAS WHEN I HAD UNI! xD At least this is heaps more fun though :) and I’m getting paaaaaaaaid lots of moneh!!!!!!! Hehehe…

Yup…best go to bed now so I can sleep enough for the long day working tomorrow…
Take care, everyone!

Monday 6th November
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR FRIEND, SINEAD ON THIS DAY!
Okay...the main things that happened today:
Around 11am I got messaged by Jordan saying she received my parcel :D. Some of you may or may not recall a few entries ago I said I did something that made me really happy but I couldn't reveal it incase a certain someone was going to read it and it's supposed to be a surprise? Well that's what it was. I bought Ethan, Jordan's adorable son, a birthday present and sent it to them in a parcel ^.^
1pm: MY VERY FIRST EXAM OF THE SEMESTER!! Anatomy & Physiology. I've been preparing for it 3 weeks before this exam...(and it was 3 weeks of cramming...). How did I go? Well I didn't go as well as I initially had hoped for but after all that studying and realising how hard it was, I accepted the fact that sometimes you can't ALWAYS achieve what you want, but I did the best that I could..and that's all that matters. I think I just passed it...not so much of a great achievement but mih...memorising half of your 1,300 page textbook is not exactly easy so I'll commemorate my ability to pass hehe...I don't praise myself very often if at all x).
My friends seemed to do well too I think. I'm glad :). They might not think so but I think they're great students.
Anyhoo...after we finished our exams, Eliza, Kyle and I went to Casuarina just to walk around and sort of celebrate finishing our first exam. Eliza said to me "Hey Min, you gotta show me where JB Hifi is". Naturally I was about to show her but then I remembered that she wasn't allowed to go there. You'll find out why later...Eliza and I discovered that Kyle has um...shall I say "interesting" taste in jewellery hehe, or an "interesting" taste in what looks expensive. Eliza was looking at jewellery and commenting on stuff here and there, then Kyle pointed at this strange looking necklace with an oversized (size of a strawberry), yellow plastic-like looking heart crystal thing (yes, I'm so good at describing things, aren't I? xD), and said "Hey! What about this one? This looks like it's expensive! It looks like a massive gem! And look! It's only $39!" or something along those lines. Eliza and I looked at him funny (as per usual) x).
Later we got boost juice, it was unfortunate for Kyle that it wasn't beer...I don't get this hole "blokes' attachment to beer" thing. Is beer seriously that great?! I take a wiff and eeeyurk! It smells disgusting to me xD.
Kyle shouted Eliza and I McDonald's ^^. How nice of him ^^. It was the first time I had junk food in ages. I thought I might as well pig out and have this opportunity to be unhealthy since I just finished an exam. Hmm...my logic made no sense, did it? x)
After that, Eliza drove us home. I checked my letterbox and I got mail from the Australian Music Examinations Board and I immediately knew it was my students' piano exam reports. I opened them to have a look and to my surprise, after all the controversy I had with the examiner and the syllabus, they got remarkable results :D. The examiner wrote "Very impressive musician" and "I see lots of potential" in the comments and yeah...that made me happy x). They were very reassuring words for a novice teacher who's confidence for herself never existed...
I think that was all the important stuff that happened on Monday....

*Min can't remember what happened in between...it's probably just Min cooped up in her room studying non stop for her next exams...*

Wednesday 15th November
The day that we had our Biology exam. Before the exam I was crying in the kitchen table as I was having my breakfast. I just felt so hopeless after all the studying I did and not remembering or understanding a lot. I was so convinced that I was going to fail. I was so depressed. I never wanted to be depressed ever again like I was last year and on this morning I just felt the same overwhelming feeling again...I messaged Eliza about how depressed I was...it wasn't a very nice thing for me to do :(. Sorry, Eliza!
Determined to not go back to my dark moments, I sat down and still and said a little prayer in my mind. After a few minutes I felt content again. I'm glad this year I've learnt how to let go. I've emotionally changed so much this year for the better. Anyway...moving on...(I hate it when I go off in a tangent...).
So yeah, I was feeling content again so I messaged Eliza again to tell her that I was sorry and I felt a lot better. Then I walked to uni, to the exam room. On the way I just tried to enjoy everything around me. The trees, the birds, everything...
So I walk into the exam room, not worried, but neither confident. I just sat on my table...and did what I had to do. Throughout the three hours, looking at all the questions, to my bewilderment I could actually answer a fair amount of them with ease :). I finished the exam about half an hour early. Everyone else seemed to do pretty well too :D. Later Jade, Kyle, Eliza and I went to Casuarina to chill out as our little form of celebration of finishing our second exam (well, third and final for Jade). Eliza asked me if she was allowed to go to JB Hifi yet and again I said no. We had lunch at the eatery and while we were having lunch we got Kyle to teach us a little big of Chemistry and we had small arguments instead. So typical of us, never listening to Kyle (when quite often <> he is right...).
Kyle went home soon after so then Eliza, Jade and I walked around Dollars & Sense for about half an hour (how we stayed in there that long...I don't know...but yeah...they have some pretty interesting cheap stuff in there xD). Eliza purchased Christmas wrapping paper, and a fishnet thingymajig. Jade bought bunny ears, a bow and a tail lol. When we walked out, Jade caught up with an old high school friend so Eliza and I went upstairs to look at bags and wallets in equip. Eliza pondered in there for a while wondering if she should buy this wallet she really wanted or not. Eventually she decided not to buy it (yet) so we migrated to random jewellery stores looking for a sterling silver locket for Eliza. Again she pondered on whether to get this locket she really liked after much physical observation with it x). Eventually she came to the decision of putting it on hold. Haha, she's so cute when she's shopping xD. Then we went into Socrates and amused ourselves for a while with gizmos and gadgets. After that Eliza was about to go home. She was curious as to what I was going to do or how I was going to get home. I just said "Nah, not going home yet...I gotta do some stuff." and she asked "You're going to do some stuff without me?" "Yes, WITHOUT YOU!" and then we said our goodbyes hehe. I set foot to JB Hifi and searched for the album "Plans" by Death Cab For Cutie. With much difficulty, I eventually found it and bought it. Then I went to find a birthday card and wrapping paper. When I found it all, I caught the bus home and when I got home I wrapped up the album and wrote in the card. It was for Eliza's birthday (even though it was two weeks ago). She was whining me to burn her Death Cab For Cutie for ages but I thought I'd buy it for her instead.
After giftwrapping, since I was sleep deprived (and have been awake for about 168 hours at the time) I slept for 3 hours then tried to study for Chemistry...THE FINAL EXAM...AND THE ONLY EXAM THAT IS MADE COMPULSORY TO PASS IN ORDER TO PASS THE UNIT!!!!
I failed for the first 6 hours >_>;; which was a very bad thing....
Okay...this moves on to Thursday now...

Thursday 16th November
Yeah, basically I was awake all night trying to study for Chemistry. I hardly did a thing though. Eliza came over at 6am to study with me until our exam started. We studied for 2 hours and those 2 hours was the most productive studying I've done for the entire night and morning...hopefully it helped Eliza too.
We ran halfway to the exam rooms not bothered to be worried about failing the exam anymore. For the past 24 hours my brain surrendered to the "La-di-la Holiday Mood" so yeah...studying was impossible!!!
To my surprise I could remember a lot and answer a fair amount of questions again. I felt like, I don't know...I was blessed for the time I was in the exam room with a working recall memory and ability to understand how to answer the questions. I finished the exam an hour and a half early and thought that was ridiculously fast. I always take up the entire exam time but today I have no idea how I did it so fast. I checked my answers about 7 times over then looked at the clock. There was still an hour left. I decided that I probably wouldn't do anything so I left the exam room and waited for everyone else to finish outside.
Bored, bored, bored. Noone was with me for a while, so I messaged a squillion people announcing my freedom x).
Eventually everyone came out of the exam room and we kicked the footy around for about half an hour on the grass area.
Later I gave Eliza her birthday present and it made her happy. I broke my promise. Earlier in the year I promised not to get her anything for her birthday but I just couldn't resist because Eliza's a wonderful friend and means so much to me. I knew how much she wanted the album so I bought it for her. It was the best feeling in the world knowing I made someone happy...
Soon Jade arrived at uni and we decided to go to the Beachfront to celebrate.
Eliza, Kylie and Kyle all walked back to my place, the three of them then drove off to Kyle's to pick up Kyle's car while I waited at home for Samantha who was visiting me today. Samantha arrived after catching the bus from school to my house (no she wasn't wagging, she had no classes left). It was the first time I've seen Sammy in MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS! *clings to her Sammy Wammy*. Soon after, the other three came back with Kyle's car. We all drove to Beachfront in Kyle's car, he then handed over his car key to Eliza and told her "Don't you dare lose my key! It's the only one I have yada yada yada" and Eliza promised she won't. We entered the building and when we were inside I was kinda...worried? Yeah...there's a bar...and beer drinking people...and yeah...I'm a novice to this kind of environment. It wasn't too bad though. Everyone just ate, drank and played pool. We got nachos and wedges and I drank some coke. I was being sober bob because the others wanted to drink a bit. We played a few rounds of pool and as per usual I was fairly hopeless at it x). Samantha shined her novice talent at some occassions. I think she was thoroughly amused.
At 2:45pm Eliza drove Sammy and me back to my place in Kyle's car but before that when we went outside to the car she couldn't find the car key anywhere in her pocket. We were all scared and after promising Kyle it would never be lost. We went back into the cafe to search for it but luckily Kylie had it. It turned out that Eliza gave it to Kylie at some stage and forgot that she did. Hehe...
When we got back to my place Eliza then drove home in her own car (haha, so many cars) and Sam and I waited for Sam's mum to pick her up. Her mum was right on the dot at my place at 3pm to pick her up. I only got to see Sammy for 2 hours today but it was better than nothing. She's coming over tomorrow morning anyway :D *dances*.
At 3:30 Mila (my 8 year old student) came and I gave her her lesson. She's progressing well :). At 4 we ended the lesson and I was so delighted about her progress I gave her chocolate chip cookies as a reward x) (haha, now someone's going to dob me in for bribery xD...sheesh...can't you just call it an act of love?!?! T_T it would make me look better!).
At 5, Jade messaged me to pick them up at the beachfront because Kyle had footy training at 5:30 and I had his car lol. So yeah, I got there, I drove Kyle home in his car (since he had some beers) and by 5:30 the rest of us were home (except Kyle who was at footy training which was at the oval across the road from my house).
At about 6 Kyle rang me on my mobile with his (even though he was only across the road) and screamed "OI, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" "Huh? What did I do to you?" "Yeah...what did you do to me? I can't train! I can't catch, I can't kick, I can't do anything! It's ridiculous!" "That doesn't mean I did anything to you!" "Well yeah, still...I can't do anything here right now." "Well how many drinks did you have?" "About 7 to 8 beers?" "Well there ya go!!" "Oi man, can we go to town like...now?! I wanna go out tonight!" "...Kyle...I'M TIRED!!!" "Aw, alright." "Jade and Kylie might go out with you tonight." "But I want to go now!" "Sorry, Kyle. I'm really tired, and I won't be allowed anyway...if you go out with Jade and Kylie tonight, have fun, okay?" "Okay, bye!". Yeah...that was my day and the first things I did with my freedom.
Sadly enough it was the first time us uni friends ever went out and did anything together as a group. Quite sad really considering we've been at uni together for a year already and it's the end of the year...
Well I managed to get a few photos of each other today. Not enough though. Hopefully we're all getting together again this Sunday evening.

Anyhoo...regarding my exams. At the beginning of the semester I was aiming to get a High Distinction for everything but hehe, that was out of my league by far. I predict I got a Credit for Anatomy & Physiology and Biology and only a pass for Chemistry *cries*. Well, I guess we'll find out when the results come out :D. Hopefully I did better than I thought (and not worse than I thought because that would just be bad...).

I should be off to bed now. I've been sleep deprived for about 192 hours...

Haha...so much for a brief blog entry xD...

Finally I just want to say thank you to those who've supported me all the way with your kind thoughts, praises, and your friendship. You know who you are...I love you all so much using words to express it just won't explain how much I really do love you...*hugs*

Time finished: 11:46pm
Weather: Can't tell...got my airconditioner on x)
Mood: Very exhausted. I just went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and looked myself in the mirror. I look like I've been dead and decaying for a year and was just dug up and stabbed by a sharp shovel xD

NO MORE ASSIGNMENTS UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!

2006-10-28T10:09:00.000+09:30

Place: My room
Weather: Sunny
Mood: Relieved

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! NO MORE ASSIGNMENTS TO DO UNTIL NEXT YEEEEEEEEEEEEAR! WOOOOOOO!!! ^.^
Yesterday (Friday) was the last teaching day at uni (and I think it was muck up day for the year 12s too...woo!).
On Wednesday evening- Thursday morning I was doing my Biology practicals (evil things...). I did them until 9am lol (yes...I'm nuts...). On Thursday evening - Friday morning I was doing Anatomy & Physiology notes for the open book test I had on Friday xD. I finished them at 6:30am lol (yes, I'm still nuts). So yeah...that meant that I didn't sleep for um...nearly 3 days hehehehe...
During Thursday morning, Jasper called me at about 2am and we talked for an hour x). I had this strange idea at the time to invent coffee that does not make you pee (since I was drinking lots of coffee at the time to keep me awake and um...made many trips to the toilet...not that you needed to know...hehe... ^^; ). Jasper and I made up the name "NO PEE COFFEE" for the invention x). I made up a slogan and a jingle for it hehe...

Slogan:
"Choose NO PEE COFFEE! Don't let the toilet be your workplace!"

Jingle:

Do you depend on coffee to get you through
But tired of going to the loo?
Don't tolerate the feeling of having to pee!
Choose the magical, miraculous NO PEE COFFEE!

*giggles* I'm such a dumbarse xD. Mind you, I was sleep deprived at the time x).

Anyway...about my last teaching day at uni ^^.
I went to the comp labs at about 8:15 and printed out my anatomy & physiology notes for the open book test and printed out a copy for Eliza, Kyle, Kylie and Jade as well. Eliza and Kyle came in at half past and helped me put the notes into the folders. At quarter to 9 we went to building 22 to attend our open book test. To my dissappointment, Jade and Kylie came in late so I couldn't give them the notes I wrote up for them. I hope they did alright...
We got our lab reports on the digestive system back. Eliza and I both got 94% *happy dance*. Yaaay! I also did better than the lab report on the cardiac system I had to do last semester xD. I got 92% for that one and earlier I was thinking "I better get a better mark on this report than the one last semester because I worked so much harder on this one!" x).
After we all completed our open book test we went to the computer labs to do our last online test. I was feeling more like a zombie at the time and got a bit cranky. Wait...was I being cranky (asking either Eliza, Kylie, Kyle or Jade if any of them read this lol)? Kyle said something along the lines of me taking my marks way too seriously and I needed to chill...he's right -.-;;. Hehehe...I need a life x). I'm making up for me slacking off in my senior high school years though...
Okay...so the online tests are done...and it's the last day of uni...and we haven't completed our biology pracs...lol. Well, I only had one prac left to do at the time, which I finished in about an hour. The others had heaps to do though so we stayed at the comp labs for the rest of the day trying to finish these last minute practicals hehe (so much for never doing stuff in the last minute ever again hahaha...). We had to hand them in by 5pm so they quickly finished them off by 4:30 then we rushed to Sean's office to hand them in. He wasn't there so we dropped them off at his pidgeon hole.
THAT...was the very last time for us to hand ANYTHING IN until NEXT YEAR! WOOOOOO! It felt so good to have nothing to do for 4 ENTIRE MONTHS! WIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Now we have our exams to study for though....*grumbles*.
Anyway...Eliza dropped me home and by 5:30pm I was sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping. I didn't care that I was still wearing the clothes I had on...or I didn't have breakfast or a proper lunch (a packet of chips and some chocolate lol), or the fact that I wasn't going to have dinner...(or that I wasn't going to have a shower or go to brush my teeth either...yes I know it's gross but I DIDN'T SLEEP FOR 3 DAYS! I DIDN'T CARE!!). I slept until 9:30am this morning. AWESOME! 16 WHOLE HOURS OF SLEEP!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
I woke up, had a shower, had breakfast, checked my emails (yay! Sean emailed me back saying he's gonna add the missing prac marks in!) and wrote this blog. I feel so gooooood!! I am no longer sleep deprived and all I have to do now is study for the exams! Happy, happy, joy, joy! Hehehehe...
Well...yeah...I'm feeling bright and cheery and refreshed now so I'm going to go attempt some productive studying before I gotta teach for the rest of the day.
Eliza, if you're reading this...I really hope you're studying or Min will be very angry at you xD.
Good luck to those with exams, and if you don't...I'M JEALOUS! Take care, all! <3

Time finished: 10:49am

Time started: 9:51pm
Place: My room
Weather: Not bad
Mood: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! <-- self explanatory x)

I just came home from the A.M.E.B. meeting at Novatel at the city. I spoke to Monica, the piano examiner about my students and discussed my queries. She said that she's had a discussion with the other teachers about it too and said it was not to worry and that she has written a good report for my students which is a relief. The best thing is she remembered them (after assessing probably 100 students already) playing very well so yay! That is a VERY good thing to hear :D.
I can't wait to call my students tomorrow to let them know it's all okay and they should put their mind at ease! ALL IS WELL!
That's all I really need to say for today *attempts to get back to work...however distractions awaits her*

Time finished: 10:25pm
Weather: Cooling down
Mood: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! <-- self explanatory once again xD

Piano Exams and My Delicate Little Flower

2006-10-24T03:51:00.000+09:30

Time started: 2:28am

Place: My room

Weather: Hot >_<;;

Mood: Neutral (woah...I've never been neutral before!)

I woke up bright and early to get ready to go to my students' piano exams. They arrived at my place at 8:30am looking very smart in terms of dress code. We were all excited. The parents drove us to the music building in uni and we patiently sat outside the examination room waiting for the examiner to call the students in one by one.

Eventually she came and Kae-jenn was first up. From outside I could hear his scales (which sounded brilliant) and his pieces (which did not fail to impress me and got me over the moon once again). However he came out looking grim. I asked him what's wrong and he just bursted into tears and said "she asked me to do these scales I never heard of and she made me sight read after my pieces" and I was like "what?!? Kae-jenn! What scale did she ask you?" and he said "I don't know...she told me I had to do chromatic and something about a broken chord", "an arpeggio?" "yes..." and then I was completely outraged! Kae-jenn is doing First Grade For Leisure and according to the syllabus he didn't have to know the chromatic scale or the arpeggio. Neither did he have to do sight reading...DEFINITELY not sight reading...not til grade 3 or 4...

Melissa was up next and I was feeling sick in the stomach. Again she played brilliantly with her scales, and her pieces, just like Kae-jenn. When she came out she told me "She asked me to do weird scales and told me to sight read too...". Melissa was doing Second Grade For Leisure. She also said "the examiner didn't look very impressed...". I feel absolutely horrible...what if my students failed or didn't get a mark they hoped for? What if it's my fault I didn't teach them what was required? I am so sure I taught them everything! I looked at the teaching syllabus again...I didn't miss anything! I'm sure of it! There is no way the things she asked them to do were prerequisites of their grade! I refuse to believe it!
Tomorrow I have a meeting with the other piano teachers and the A.M.E.B. (Australian Music Examinations Board) officials and I'm going to talk to them about what happened to my students...hopefully I'll get to speak to the examiner as well. It would break my students' hearts if they got marked down simply because they didn't get taught something they were supposed to know. I hope I'm not at fault but I'm really really REALLY sure that I taught them everything required. The examiner must've made some sort of mistake...she HAS to have...it just doesn't make any sense...

The problem is I'm a novice teacher...and she's a professional, long time A.M.E.B. examiner from Russia...I think the odds are against me...

*Sigh* Melissa and Kae-jenn should get a high distinction...that's what they deserve...I just feel so awful!

Well...one thing's for sure...nothing is going to make me stop being proud of them. They're such lovely students...and friends...they worked so hard...

Well hopefully things will be sorted out tomorrow...

I don't want to think about it anymore...

Anyway...there is a second purpose to this entry. I'm supposed to dedicate it to Ryan because he's a whiner (yes! You call me a sook...I call you a whiner! That's the way it works! >:0 ) and he asked me to >_<;;! He's supposed to be my "delicate little flower" xD. Nyawh! x3 *tackle hugs*.

Rebecca, Daniel, Ryan...I must say the conversation we had today was um....interesting...and um...worrying >_>;; (ick!). Yes...we had an interesting conversation today. I'm sure everyone has interesting conversations from time to time x). Let's just say the snowflake wasn't what it should be and the delicate little flower was um...most definitely not so delicate xD. Nu! No asking for details *shudders remembering* or I shall be forced to k33l you and stuff you in my box of corpsesesssssssss :D!!!

This evening I went for a walk with Danmei. I haven't gone out for a walk for a whole week because I was so slack hehe. We didn't manage to get to the beach like we normally did because it was already late so we just kinda walked around the suburb. While we were walking I can't remember what we said but I was playfully cursing Jasper then I tripped over. Then I said "Jasper must be cursing me back" then I tripped over again. Then Danmei said "Dang you, Jasper!" and then SHE tripped over xD. It was very funny xD. Then we went to Danmei's dorm. Her dad was in there already. I haven't seen him for ages and her dad and I had a nice discussion about my future xD. After our little discussion he kindly offered me a lift home although I lived 5 minutes away (but it was already dark).

When I went home, I took a shower, ate dinner and watched TV with mum. Mum was perving on some man on TV. "This guy's hot!" (it is very typical of mum...it's strange how I'm completely the opposite to her...). Then she said "Men here are only good looking when they become of age...like after 30. Teenage boys here aren't very good looking". And now I have to add this in to make Ryan feel good about himself and love himself even more because he's a piece of rubbish >_< (and this is supposed to be an entry dedicated to him after all): Moments later my mother appeared to be thinking and said "Except for Ryan...Ryan is so hot!" (and this is when I choke and die from such a horrendous statement). "He is! He's incredibly good looking" (again I was suffering from agony after hearing that about Ryan *mutters*).

MOOOOOOOOOVING ON BEFORE I BARF!!!! >:0

I got to talk to Jasper tonight ^.^ (yes, I love my nii-san very much incase you didn't notice hehe). Poor guy is feeling down again but by the end of our conversation he told me "Don't worry, nii-san is happy!" and I hope he was telling the truth!

Tonight I discovered that Jordan left a comment on my msn space blog. YAY! SHE LEFT ME A COMMENT! *Overjoyed*

Don't worry, Jordan, you will not be left in suspense forever! Goodness gracious, Jordan. You're SUCH a LOVELY, WONDERFUL FRIEND I literally BOUNCE just THINKING about you x). You are the BEES KNEES! *heart bubbles*

I managed to resist checking my messages and new deviations on deviantart today (sorry to all you deviantartists though, except for CJ who's probably happy I didn't reply to our 17 comment conversations on deviantart) to do a bit of my Biology pracs. I didn't get much done though. It's the "uni-is-nearly-over-for-the-year" syndrome. My brain is already on holiday mode. I don't want to finish off these last few assignments and prepare for my exams T_T. Bleh...I'll dedicate myself to finish off with flying colours (or the best of my attempts to). Min does not give up so easily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (=<

Anyhoo...I am tired and I should end this entry quickly and go to sleep. I will end it with a testimony to Ryan.

He is a funny widdle bugger (Yes, I called you a widdle bugger...DEAL WITH IT! >:0 ). He never fails to make me laugh. I hate to admit it, but he's funny (sometimes)...dangit >_<;;

Erm...he's a kind, warm and caring friend which is more than any friend could ask for and I WUV HIM TO BITS! ^^

OKAY! THIS ENDS HERE AND NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE PRAISING YOU, RYAN! DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S TORTURE...and you're a PIECE OF RUBBISH!!! YOU HEAR ME?! >_<;;

I ALSO KNOW ABOUT THE ICE-CREAM INCIDENT *refrains from being a sook* I will let you off the hook JUST THIS ONCE only because you were loyal enough to keep your title as "Delicate Little Flower" xD. BUT IF YOU DO IT AGAIN I WILL BE FORCED TO SOOK! UNDERSTAND?! That is all xD

Love always, your Snowflake ^.^

hehe...

Wish me luck with the A.M.E.B. meeting tomorrow (or should I say today since it's past midnight)!

Time finished: 3:41am

Weather: Cool (haha...it was hot when I started this xD...is the weather having my mood swings?)

Mood: Toothpaste

'Twas a good weekend! ^^

2006-10-22T19:17:00.000+09:30

Time started: 6:08pm

Place: My room

Weather: Not a lot happening xD

Mood: Content

Friday morn I woke up to the oh so pleasant vibrations of my mobile phone going "mrr mrr mrr....mrr mrr mrr" as Eliza sent me a message to ask if I could meet her in the computer labs earlier, so bright and early in the morning! *Overjoyed smile with a zombie brain* :D -.-

I got my zombie self ready and dragged my arse out to the computer labs.

We did our third anatomy & physiology online test and got great results :D. Eliza got 19/20 and I decided to gamble with one of the questions to aim for a 20/20 but got 18/20 instead but I'm still happy ^^.

Later in the arvo Eliza, and two of her friends, Emma and Ashley, and I went to Casuarina and had lunch at fasta pasta. It was quite enjoyable ^.^. Eliza helped me with $2 for my lunch...she's so sweet ^.^

We stayed at fasta pasta for like an hour and a half just sitting there and talking (or in me and Ashley's case listening hehe) about random stuff.

Then we went to the shopping centre and the girls went to look at make up but I went off on my own to do some "important stuff" which I will not reveal just yet incase a particular someone is reading this and this person is not supposed to know what this "important stuff" is. I will reveal it when the time for it to be revealed comes :D. The "important stuff" I did put me on a high all day :D. There's nothing better than doing the "important stuff" I did ^.^. I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D *prances around her room in sheer joy*

Anyhoo...I finished my important stuff at 5:30pm then I took the bus home and goodness...what did I do again? *thinks really hard (shush! Min is capable of thinking every once in a while! >:0), well...I was expressing my incredible happiness to several friends msn, then went to watch some TV with mum and then procrastinated for the rest of the night (shush! I am capable of doing productive work too! T_T).

Wiee...Naruto ep 206 came out so I watched it late that night lol xD. Yeah...then I went to bed hehe. I had the best sleep ever!

Saturday...wow...goodness...I woke up at 11am (which is already pretty late) and was awake for about half an hour before I went back to sleep again and woke up at 2pm! How long did I sleep for? *counts* wow! 13 hours! I SLEPT FOR A WHOLE 13 HOURS!!! *cries with tears of joy*

It feels so great to sleep that long considering I used to sleep on an average of 2 hours a week for 3 years...

Well...I had me brunch (breakfast x lunch) at 2:30 then held a workshop with Melissa and Kae-jenn (my students) at 3 to prepare for their piano exams on Monday. It was so much fun :D. I got Melissa to be Kae-jenn's examiner and vice versa. Melissa and I got Kae-jenn to sing "Que Sera, Sera" while he played it on the piano. IT WAS SO GORGEOUS! SO CUTE! WAH!! *dies*. Both of them were so good. I'm blessed with musical students! It was pure bliss listening to them play! They developed so much over the past year or two, the time I've taught them. Wah! I love them so much! I can't bear to leave them next year T_T. The workshop ended an hour and a half later and I gave them 3 mini mars bars each (one for Saturday, one for Sunday and one for before the exam on Monday).

After the workshop I did some homework and studying til about 7:30ish then bummed around for the rest of the night x).

Rebecca and I went psycho with posting on our special forum (which consists of only 10 girls, my gorgeous circle of friends in high school...we called ourselves "The Herd"). It is nice to be able to post random crap to each other even though high school is over and we're not physically together anymore. *feels all warm and fuzzy inside* ^^ I LOVE YOU, MY LOVELY HERD OF BUFFALOES! xD

Nyah...attempted to go to bed early (1:30 in the morn...which is pretty early for me actually hehe). Then I had a nightmare that night. I dreamt that I was being disected alive by my friend Katerina. Hehe...it sounds funny I guess...but it was a horrible dream! It was disgusting and twisted and meh? Of all people...Katerina? What does this mean? I don't think Katerina's disected anything in her life! *cries* it was a horrible dream! >_<;; I thought my nightmares were over :(

Meh...woke up at 8am this morning by my mother ever so graciously shaking me by the shoulders...thanks mum...good morning to you too... -.-

I drove mum to Casuarina at 10 so she can do some early morning shopping. I went to the music store to buy Mila (one of my students) a music book because she needed a new one.

I went home at 10:30 and waited for Emily to come. She was supposed to come at 11 but came at 11:30 instead xD. I helped her with her aural to help her prepare for her flute exam. Wah...so many music exams! It gives me terrible memories of the last exam I did 2 years ago where I walked out of the room shaking and crying lol because it was such a big and important exam for me. I couldn't believe I was able to play fine on the piano while my fingers were continuously, vigorously shaking from nerves. Come to think of it...my whole BODY was shaking hehe... xD

Anyhoo...after helping her with aural, Em came into my room and together we looked at random AFI music vids/interviews on youtube (because she is so overly obsessed with AFI lol). At 2:30 she left and at 3 I taught Mila. Mila has been slack...she didn't show much progress in her lesson today -.-;;. How do I push and urge a 7 year old as cute and sweet as Mila to practise?! Well...she was dilligent for quite a while...I told her parents about it when they came to pick her up. I hope she shows sign of improvement on Thursday when I teach her next.

Well...that was pretty much my weekend so far. I think I'll spend the rest of it doing my homework. Wish me luck on not procrastinating.

All I have left to say is:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY COUSIN, CHEE MENG (21st)

I just finished a phone conversation with my dear nii-san, Jasper. It was his birthday a couple of hours ago but now it's Sian Yang's birthday. Jasper is now 19 (old fart) and Sian Yang is now 21 (an even older fart!).

Anyway...what have I been up to? Not a lot really...unmotivated to do my work. I have two Biology practicals to do and meh...it's so hard to do them because THEY'RE SO BORING! I'm a diligent, industrious student...but I just can't make myself do them! Grr... *sigh* I also got an anatomy & physiology test to do on Friday and worst of all...THE EXAMS ARE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER 2 WEEKS! *runs around in hysterics*

I received Rebecca's lovely 10 page letter today. THANK YOU BECCA! YOU'RE SO LOVELY! *huggles* I'LL WRITE TO YOU AFTER I FINISHED MY EXAMS! Brendan also said he's about to post his letter to me too. YAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO RECEIVE THIS LONG ANTICIPATED LETTER FROM HIM! xD (Min loves receiving letters....and she loves writing them just as much)

Hmm...this entry would be very short so I'm just gonna waffle on about random nonsense:

REBECCA! YOU'RE A MAN EATERER/STEALERER AND I STILL DO NOT FORGIVE YOU!
I WILL REMAIN CLOTHED!
My right knee hurts T_T
*Hugs for Brendan with a rainbow coming out of her butt* don't worry, be happy! :D
CINDY AND LENA, MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU! *hugs*
I'm still addicted to Mew and I'm really digging The Vines right now
I MISS MY LOVELY HERD OF BUFFALOES!
I like being called "Snowflake"
I'm wearing my mother's skirt at the moment and for once I feel pretty xD ^.^
GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE WHO HAVE UPCOMING EXAMS! PARTICULARLY TO THE YEAR 12s! MIN HAS FAITH IN YOU! YOU CAN DO IT! *cheers*

Sorry if you didn't understand any of that xD. Hui-Min's life is not meant to be understood ^^

Jasper had a good day :D. I'm glad he had a great birthday ^.^
He received a lot of lovely birthday cards in his mail box (and I sent him my "Grim Got Glomped" comic).
I talked to him on the phone for an hour at 1:30 in the morning x). It's so good to hear his voice. I miss my brother T_T. I can't wait to visit him/him visit me next year! I can't wait to see all my high school friends and their new friends too ^.^

Anyhoo... *posts a pic of Me & Jaspey Waspey in our year 12 formal*

This is Me & Jaspey Waspey, Darwin High School Year 12 Formal, 29/11/2005

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY, JASPER!!!

Yesterday Eliza, Kyle and I spent pretty much the whole day in the computer labs doing work and procrastinating x). It was quite fun. Kyle's a funny bugger. We wrote down quotes of him all day xD. One of them was "I was a real enzyme freak.". Haha, you probably wouldn't find that funny but Eliza and I did for some strange reason. Yes...everything amuses us ^^
Anyhoo...I discovered that I could be a good ninja xD. I was sitting right next to Eliza for the entire time and at one stage she said "I feel like chips...something salty, savory...". Then I got my wallet out and checked for coins. Eliza didn't say a thing and I thought to myself: Yay! She's not stopping me! I got up and left the room, she still didn't stop me. I bought sour cream and onion chips off the vending machine (her fave and mine too ^^). Then I walked back into the room, the chips behind my back, then I threw them at her and she was like "AAH! HUI-MIN!" and later she said "I DIDN'T EVEN REALISE YOU WERE GONE! When you came through the door I was thinking huh? Why is Hui-Min at the door?" xD. She's so cute! xD I have elite ninja skills....muahahahaha! I still can't believe she didn't notice me gone though. I feel so invisible T_T *sniffles*.

After uni hours, last night, I took Eliza and Emily to Cool Spot in Fannie Bay for some ice-cream. I haven't seen Emily in a long time and it was great to see her again ^.^
I wish Eliza would stop SCARING ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING though X_x;; I can't believe I'm alive to write this blog. She kept on poking me and going "RAAAR!" while grabbing my leg while I was driving. It was terrifying! X_x
Can I just say I looooooove mint choc chip ice cream? XD
After eating our lovely ice creams we went to the gun turrets in East Point. First we went to this playground. It was fun while it lasted...but then this creepy guy walked towards us and said "so where are you from?" and us three were dead silent and immediately walked back to the car lol. Thank goodness he didn't come chasing after us ^^. Emily had a stanley knife on her keyring. I think that's so cool. After we got into the car, we drove into the gun turrets. Emily attempted to climb it but couldn't so we forgot about climbing it and just goofed around in the pleasant evening breeze instead. Then these weird guys in cars drove around with loud music so we were like meh...people...and left xD. We drove around the city (and Eliza was scaring me every now and then in the process) and the wharf, then we wanted to visit Kyle but he didn't pick up his phone (he was sleeping) so we had enough, drove Emily home, and Eliza and I went to the computer labs and um...did nothing productive lol. The guards closed the labs at nearly 3am so we went home and slept like babies x).

Kyle woke me up that morning at 10:30am asking me whether the laboratory session today was important or not xD. *Mutters under her breath* yes... -___-;; Our practical on the kidney today was...interesting x). Eliza, Jade, and Tirza did something out of the ordinary today :D. I'm not gonna mention it though because they might kill me xD. *Sighs contently* good times, good times...

After the practical, I went home and tried to go to sleep. I managed to sleep for about 15 minutes eventually, but then there was this horrendous knocking on my bedroom window. Danmei was knocking on it. Grr...it was time for our evening walk xD. On our way to the beach, we got attacked by a couple of pluvers (now known as flapwings ) outside the student on campus buildings. We didn't see their chicks. A couple of guys who lived on campus heard us screaming and saw us running around trying to defend ourselves from the swooping birds. I think they were quite amused...
Eventually we managed to get away from the pluvers unharmed and got to the beach ^^. I'm going to miss the Darwin sunsets next year T_T. I reckon we have the best sunsets in the world.
Anyhoo...when we were walking back home after the sunset...we encounted more pluvers -.-;;. They swooped at us again...THEY ARE SO SCARY! T_T
I admire pluvers...they guard their chicks with their lives :). I gained a lot of respect for them today xD. Especially when I saw one chase a car as it was driving near by. Hahaha...just picture this little bird, chasing a car while screeching at it...lol...

Today is Samantha Cubillo's 19th birthday and I must acknowledge it since she is a funky wunky friend ^.^
I love you Sammy!!!!!
I hope to see you soon, because I have not seen you for yoooooonks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAMMY!!!

What have I been up to? *thinks*

Ah...yes...

Sunday evening. I took me daddy out for dinner ^^. We went to fasta pasta. I haven't seen daddy for a while. It was so nice to be with him that night ^.^

Daddy was happy too =). I love him so much <3.>

He lent me all his The Beatles CDs! THANKS! ^.^

I think he's overwhelmed with the fact that I actually asked for some of his music x). I have this sudden fetish for the Beatles. I've always liked them but now I wuv them =3.

Mew is still my fave band though ^.^

Anyhoo...ya, it was just a pleasant night, seeing daddy again. Put me on high spirits for a long time ^^.

Well, didn't do much in the one week hol. I just studied me butt off for the biology test I had today, especially for the last two nights, studying non-stop with no sleep lol. I'm a bit insane like that >_>;; The questions weren't written in English x). Don't think I did too well but ahh well. I'm not stressed about it anymore. Eliza, I'm sorry I looked sad today :(. I'm not sad!

After our Bio test today, Eliza was looking up name meanings just for the heck of it. POO IS A NAME AND HAS A MEANING! :D

It was something with good vitality and prosperity and many friends yada yada yada. So funny xD.

Woo! I got a letter from the heart foundation a few days ago. $3.4 MILLION DOLLARS WAS RAISED FOR THE DOORKNOCK APPEAL! THAT IS SO AWESOME! *overwhelming joy*. Yeah...that letter put me in high spirits. Especially because I felt good helping out with that result. People can be so nice ^^

I also heard from Heidi. Her daughter just had an operation. The doctors said she's lucky that they diagnosed her early because it was ABOUT to be cancerous but they removed it so all is well! *veeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry glaaaaaad!*

Feeling optimistic today *le gasp*...very wonderful and rare occassion for me ^.^

Today Danmei and I went for a walk at the beach. We were yodelling on top of our lungs and scaring everyone around us :D. I haven't acted crazy like today for a while. It felt so good. Sleep deprivation does strange things to you ^^.

Danmei and I came up with interesting sentences today x).

Me: Do you know Sesame Street?

Danmei: No, what is it?

Me: O_O! You really have been living in the darkness!
Danmei: Koala.

I mean...HUH? KOALA?! Yeah...it was random. We laughed like mad. Hehe...we're so silly x).

I also came up with "When there is a will, there is a way. And if there is poo, then there is Danmei"

Sad, I know. But teehee ^^. IT RHYMES! I LIKE IT! : <

We talked to Jasper on the phone for about an hour while we were walking. It was so nice to hear his voice! *Misses Jaspey Waspey like mad!*

He went on about the golden wang for a while (don't ask). :/ typical Jasper. xD

Anyhoo....because I had an hour and a half worth of sleep for the last 2 days I decided it'd be a good idea to go to bed straight away...so I did...

I slept for 2 hours, woke up, got Eliza's message saying something like "Is our chem prac due tomorrow?" and now I cannot sleep :D. I will do my chem prac some time soon....eventually...when I feel like it...hehe...

I'M TOO BUSY ENJOYING BEING OPTIMISTIC AND LOVING LIFE AT THE MOMENT! WHY DO I WANNA DO SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS AND DO A CHEM PRAC?! hehe...

Oh yeah!

Movies with the Wells
On Sunday night, a few hours before the movie started, Kylie messaged me to ask if I wanted to go see "John Tucker Must Die" with her and Joanna. Since I felt like I should actually HAVE a holiday for once, I decided to go. I haven't been to the movies since May anyway.
They came to pick me up at around 8:30pm and I was like YAY! I'M HAVING A SOCIAL LIFE FOR TONIGHT! xD...nah, it's not that bad x).
Well, I predicted this movie to be a bad one. I'm not into chick flicks. Basically it's about a guy who's three timing. His girlfriends come across each other and they discover that they were all having a relationship with John Tucker at the same time. This new, unpopular girl, Kate, is brought into their troubles and the girls decide to make John Tucker fall in love with her and then she has to dump him to break his heart as pay back.
Overall the movie was not as bad as I anticipated it to be because I got a few laughs out of it but I still didn't think it was great x). It didn't help when that "Dirty Little Secret" song by The All-American Rejects was in the soundtrack. That song is in TOO MANY MOVIES! Kylie was also singing it all day at uni (the same line over and over again with the wrong words hehe) and it drove me insaaaaaaaaaaane >_<;;. She sang it again and again after the movie too. If I didn't love Kylie so much I think she'd already be strangled to death by me! After the movie Joanna drove us around the Nightcliff Jetty before she dropped me off home. I arrived home at around 11pm. I enjoyed myself that night ^^. It's been a while since I went out to do something with a couple of friends. I don't spend much social time with the Wells sisters, Kylie and Joanna either. Nya....*muacks* thank you both! <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIAMH!
Monday, 2nd of October! HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, NIAMH! I messaged her in the morning to send her my warm wishes on her birthday. I haven't spoken to Niamh for aaaaaaaaaaages! I'll see her next year in Adelaide ^^.
Anyway...about my day. I was just doing my Bio practicals all day today. Nothing exciting.
Chatted to some friends on msn. I got to chat to Baggy ^^. BAGGY! IT WAS NICE TALKING TO YOU AFTER NOT TALKING TO YOU FOR A LONG LONG TIME! ^^
Ryan made me cry =P. Not his fault though. I was just being a dimwit. I won't go to any detail with that x).
Later I went to walk on the beach with Danmei and Shivon. I haven't seen Shivon for a very long time and it was really nice to see her ^^. We walked her gorgeous little shi tzu x maltese dog and he just NEVER WALKED IN A STRAIGHT LINE! He was always zigzagging.
Anyway, we finished our little walk at around quarter to 7 and it was getting dark so we went home. I arrived home at quarter to 8, had a shower, had dinner, then watched TV for the rest of the night.
SCRUBS IS NO LONGER ON TV! I AM SO SAD! T_T. Scrubs is my new favourite TV show *cries* and it's not on anymore *cries*.
Half an hour after midnight Niamh messaged me back. It was so nice to hear from her ^^. I can't wait to catch up with her next year!
Well...I guess that's all I need to say.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY NIAMH!!

Jazzi (Monday):
Jasmine only arrived in Darwin a few days earlier so I decided to catch up with her to go for a walk at Casuarina beach with Danmei. It was really nice to see her again (and because I'm a female, she said it looked like I lost weight since the last time she saw me thus I was happy hehe...just kidding...I really don't give a stuff...however my mother was happy to hear this).
The tide was high, and there were no clouds in the sky. Quite disappointing really...you can't have a spectacular sunset without any clouds in the sky to reflect different coloured lights. Ahh well, it was still beautiful how the sun turned amber red as it was saying its warm goodbyes to the beach.
I was not wearing my thongs and was wearing my converse shoes (due to the fact I can't walk without swelling my ankles and putting them through pain while walking in them) so it was rather difficult walking with the tide chasing up after your feet while you're not willing to get them wet...
I guess it was rather amusing since I was running from side to side the entire time, trying to be as close to my friends as possible (who had their feet in the water) without getting my shoes wet.
Life was relaxing at that moment. The beach can do amazing things to your mind.

Doorknocking (Wednesday):
Yay! The time had come to knock on people's houses and demand money from them! Nyahahaha. I was accompanied by Danmei, my faithful friend. We had no luck in the first few houses because they were either away or they just didn't want to donate (I was doing the doorknock appeal for the heart foundation incase you didn't know). Finally we started to get some donations after the first few houses. We met some really nice people and it was nice to see them willing to help. There was this one man that I remembered very well. His house was certainly not the best one in the street. Neither was he the most respectable person you'd come across. He was skinny and frail and somewhat unclean. When we knocked on his door and asked him if he liked to donate he had a sad look in his eyes and said "I'd love to help but I'm flat out broke...". Naturally, we smiled and said "no worries" and we were about to walk off to knock on the next house. Then he stopped us and said "Wait! I might have some change. Do you accept change?" and we said "Of course. Any donation is greatly appreciated." He gave us in total $1.55. It was the least amount out of everyone who donated but to me it was worth the most in heart. Why is this? Because he told us "This is all that I've got right now...I was just singing in town to earn some money to feed my son...I believe in Karma." and he smiled and closed the door. It made me remarkably sad to see such a man having to struggle to survive for him and his son. He lived amongst some fortunate people who did or did not donate and despite what he was going through, he helped us with his small donation. I hope one day that Karma is kind to him. He did a very honourable and admirable thing.
Anyway, a few houses next Danmei and I encountered this really cute kitten who appeared to be very fond of us. It meowed at us friendly and rubbed on us as its greeting. It reminded me very much of my own cat.
Finally we got to the end of the designated street I had to doorknock. Danmei and I by that time were exhausted, hot, sweaty, dehydrated but very happy to have done our good deed.
We collected a total of $179.80 for "the charity that can beat heart disease". I hope it comes to good help for the charity.

Mindil (Thursday):
ABOUT TIME I WENT TO THE MINDIL BEACH MARKETS! I can't call myself a Darwinian without ever going to the Mindil Beach Markets! After Eliza and I had our shower and dinner from coming home from uni, I took the car, picked up Kylie, and the three of us went to Mindil *bounces happily*. While we were driving there we were happily listening to our favourite band and album, "Frengers" by Mew ^_^. When we arrived at Mindil I instantly liked the atmosphere. I loved the multicultural feel, the live music, and how people there genuinely enjoyed being there. We walked around the stalls looking at random things of our interest then all of a sudden these hands from behind covered my eyes. It was the typical "guess who this is" action and I couldn't figure out who it was. I turned around and it was REAGAN! *crash tackle hugs Reagan*. Reagan's been friends with me since I was 5 and I haven't seen him for quite a while. At around the same time, Evan and J.D. bumped into us. I haven't seen them for ages either! Evan was my high school friend and J.D. was my primary school AND high school friends (and I haven't seen him for YEARS!). It was really, really nice to catch up with them :)
Us girls then walked around aimlessly looking mostly at interesting jewellery and the weird and wonderful items that were on display for purchase. Kylie and Eliza bought themselves rope bracelets.
Later we were around the food stalls. My lovely friend, Jordan told me to buy lime juice with honey and tell her my experience with it, so I did. It was the first time I tried it and WHAM! I was refreshed instantly! The tangyness of the lime kicked in in no time soon accompanied by a smooth, sweet aftertaste of the honey. It was pure bliss (besides the fact that I was developing a stomach ache from the cold drink)!
We walked around some more later then Eliza bought herself a coconut shell ring and I bought myself a bead necklace. Then the markets were closing so we drove back to uni to do some research in the computer labs.

Dang Digestive System (Friday)!
Blah...I don't even want to talk about this in detail. Eliza and I did our online test on the digestive system for anatomy & physiology today. I'll just say that the questions were really pathetically written and our efforts on trying to figure out the right answers weren't really worth the results we got...
Ahh well...we'll kick butt next time ^^

Sea Money (Friday)
In the late afternoon, Jasmine, Danmei and I went for a walk at Casuarina Beach again. Jasmine was to head back to Melbourne later on tonight so I just had to have one last walk with her. We collected sea money from the sand while listening to Danmei talk about the history of China (which was rather intriguing). If you're wondering what sea money is...erm...it's kinda hard to explain what they are (since I forgot what they're actually called and me explaining things at 3:36am is um...a rather complicated task...). Basically they're just dried up sea creatures that look like white coins with a star pattern right in the middle hence their nickname "Sea Money" ^^.
As the sun set, we walked back home and said our goodbyes. *Sigh* I miss Jasmine :(
While Danmei and I were walking back home, we came across this gorgeous chihuahua puppy ^^. It was the sweetest thing <3.>

Hmm...that's pretty much the highlights of my week.

Just a further note on this blog. Today's the 30th of September so I must say the following:
1. HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, STEPHEN!!!!!! <3
2. GO THE WEST COAST EAGLES!!!!!

That is all ^^

I
am
so
sick
and
tired
of
these
nightmares!!

I was so happy this year that I could sleep like a normal person...get the hours I needed and everything. But now the nightmares are coming back again and I just can't sleep!

I went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up at 11:30pm tonight.
I woke up from a nightmare.

In real life when I'm at the beach it is always when the sun is setting, there are people around, the sky is filled with all sorts of colours, it's not freezing and not raining either. I'm always accompanied by a friend. I feel nothing but happiness when I'm at the beach...
However, in my dream I was walking on the beach. There was noone around. The sun was rising, but it was not the kind that would brighten the surroundings. The skies were grey. Everything was dull yet terrifying. It was freezing cold. And the rain was pouring down hard.
As I walked along the wet, soft sand. I soon stepped on something novice to the sensation of walking along the wet sand. I looked down. It was a hand. It was covered in blood. A body was buried under the sand and nothing was revealed but this bloody hand.
I woke up straight away after I saw the hand. I woke up with this horrible gut feeling that it was someone I knew beneath the sand...
Now I am awake, and very tired, but I don't want to go back to sleep. I know my dream will continue, and I'll find out who that dead person is...

I'm always having nightmares...I've had a history of waking up screaming or as if I was trying to defend myself from something. It terrifies me to think that my mind could come up with such horrible nightmares...am I some sadistic, twisted person in reality?

I don't know why I'm having these nightmares now. My life this year is actually good overall...
Not to mention I had the most wonderful evening last night with Eliza and Kylie in the computer labs. We were there until half past two in the morning. We were supposed to do our work but we ended up having funny conversations with each other (we even managed to talk about poo for nearly and hour...). Before we were at the labs Eliza and I bought ourselves iced coffee and a block of chocolate each. We shared the chocolate between the three of us in the labs. It was a fun night. Simple, but fun. I'll miss Kylie a lot next year...

Anyway, I'm currently sitting in my dark room by myself, missing my friends...

*Sigh* I'm so tired, I really should go to sleep...but I'm so scared that my dream will continue. My dreams usually continue when I wake up from a nightmare that is not finished...
But I guess I should face my fears...

Okay...today my phone got soaked in water so it died completely. Of course, I was upset about this. I was very very very very very attached to my phone. It was my first and only mobile phone (Nokia 3200). Seeing as I could not live without a working mobile phone I went to buy a new one. It wasn't cheap at all, but I must say this new phone is GROOVEY (Nokia 6101)! I activated it as soon as I got home.
Hours later, my old phone came back to life! And I was like GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! I can't return this new phone now :( I can't bear to get rid of my old phone either now that it's working again *cries*.
Such is life...

I took Heidi to the airport about an hour ago. She's arriving at Brisbane tomorrow morning. I gave her a hug and a kiss and warmly wished her all the best of luck.
She's coping well. Tonight I made her dinner and she managed to crack a smile and laugh a little. It's great...
Now I'm sitting here and missing her.
I'm really glad she's okay, and I am all smiles.
Now I'm just hoping her daughter well be okay.

This morning, before I went to my Chemistry exam, before Heidi went to work, Heidi left me a letter at my bedroom door. It read:

Dearest Hui-Min,

Good luck
I know you will do well
If you forget something, think about God for just one minute and you'll remember.
I will think about you and pray for you today.

Love Heidi

Someone like Heidi deserves all the best in life.

A few moments ago, Heidi came back home.
She ran in screaming and shaking all over.
Mum and I burst out of our room to see what was wrong.

"My son's girlfriend is dead"

Heidi was crying so hard. We all cried along with her.
He was going to propose to her tonight. Today he messaged Heidi saying "Mum, I want to marry this girl. I'm going to ask her tonight. I love her, I found the love of my life."
He was holding a party at a restaurant. A surprise party for her.
She was going to the party that was going to change her life.
And on the way her car crashes. Her life was over...

She was only 20 years old...

Heidi's daughter, 18, was recently diagnosed with cancer.

The worst part is, her son's in Adelaide, her daughter's in Brisbane. Both her children need her...and she doesn't know where to go...

I'm sitting here crying my heart out. I can barely breathe. I'm absolutely devastated...Something like this shouldn't happen to someone like Heidi. It shouldn't happen to anyone...

Sadly...things like this happen every day whether it's fair or not.

I wish I could do something for her, but I can't. All I can do is pray. I'll pray for her daughter to get better. I'll pray for Heidi, and her son, and the family and friends of that woman to find happiness again.

Don't take life for granted...cherish every minute of it with those you love...

And as a result of what I just said. I want you all to know that I love you all.

I wanna vomit, and I've got no apetite...
Hehe...sorry for complaining...but it just gives me something to do x). At least I'm complaining with a smile on my face
Anyhoo...while I'm sick at home, I could study for my Chemistry exam but blargh...I'm just not in the mood. I might later, but I'm currently having difficulty breathing soh vhum (*laughs*...hehe, sorry, inside joke) I'll just bum around at home and hope I'll be better tomorrow so I can go do my Bio prac.
Which reminds me...I gotta hand in last week's prac write up tomorrow...
No problem, I finished it last week.
I hope I didn't miss anything important at uni today...
*sniffles and coughs* ugh...my body's hot by my feet are cold *shivers* oh the joys of having a fever x).
Well...I hope my fever's killing the bugs inside me (uh oh...now I'm thinking about Microbiology...shoot me!).
BLARGH! I think I'll get off now and attempt to study...
Oh if only you could hear my voice right now lol...it sounds rather like a toad...

Woke up at 7:30am this morning, went to the uni library at 8:30am and studied until just now (so it was 8 straight hours of hardcore study). But the problem is I can feel the information oozing out of my ears...that's not good.
I AM GOING TO FAIL! I DON'T CARE HOW SMART OR HARDWORKING PEOPLE THINK I AM. THE REALITY IS I AM MOST DEFINITELY NOT SMART. HARDWORKING...YES, BUT NOT SMART! AND I AM CERTAIN THAT I AM GOING TO FAAAAAAAAIL!!!! *cries* T_T
I'm also sick, and this headache is driving me insane...

Yesterday I just studied Organic Chemistry all day. Well, at least I tried to study. I think I pretty much procrastinated for the whole day.
I taught Melissa at 3pm. She was struggling with "The Entertainer" for the last few weeks but today she really picked up on the piece and her dynamics were impressive. There were still a few hiccups but overall her performance was rather impressive. Her "Dance of the Sugar Plum Faery" still needed a bit of improvement though, in terms of technique. Nonetheless, I was still proud of Melissa. She should be ready for her exam in November.

After teaching her I went back to "studying". Then later in the afternoon, Ms Reimers (my year 12 biology teacher) came to pop in a visit which was a bit of a surprise. She was walking her dog and saw my mother outside watering the plants.
To be honest I never really liked Ms Reimers in high school. Mostly because her method of teaching wasn't particularly motivating, neither were the marks that she gave. Usually I respect teachers who mark their students hard but Ms Reimers irationally and ridiculously marked us waaaaaay harder than the marks we deserve.
However, I had a rough time in year 12, and Ms Reimers got worried about me. So, I felt really guilty thinking of her so lowly. Ms Reimers is a dedicated Christian, and she said she prayed for me every day. Yesterday she said that she still did. I felt very lucky to have a caring teacher. She seemed happy to see that I was going well in University. Although at the beginning I was a bit afraid when I heard she was over, but after chatting to her, I felt really happy to see someone I haven't seen for quite a while. Still I don't think she's the best teacher I've ever had, she's far from it, but I gained more respect and love for her after her visit yesterday. I realised what a wonderful person she actually was.

Anyway...after she left...I decided I had enough of studying so I watched a bit of TV, then bummed around on msn. I was delighted to see my cousin, Chee Meng, finally getting msn. I had a video conversation with him and made him happy ^.^
Chee Meng was diagnosed with epilepsy three years ago. Since then he's been trying to recover. He's recovering well at the moment but he's still battling depression. *Sigh*. Chee Meng is a wonderful guy. It's hard to see him like this. He emails me every day and I feel so bad not having the time to check them and reply to them.
Well, he seemed to be alright and yeah...it was really nice to talk to him last night :)

After talking to Chee Meng...Ryan and I had some fun on our vid convo. EXCEPT HE KEPT ON SCREEN SHOOTING MY FACES! >:0 DANG YOU! >_<;;. After our "lovely" conversation, we went to bed.

Today I woke up, went to the uni library (which is where I am now) and studied for 4 hours on Organic Chemistry. Now I've realised that it actually isn't as hard as I anticipated (before I actually studied for it properly lol...). Naseem makes life so difficult. Who needs lectures when you've got a decent textbook that explains things to you more clearly?! Gargh...sometimes attending classes at uni can be so pointless. Well...I'm glad that I got 3 topics down today...I just hope I'll do fine for my midsemester exam on Thursday *stress*.
Now I'm done with the studying so I'm on the computer writing up a blog.

Now it's time for me to go...
I gotta go home and teach for 2 hours.

Monday it was Steve Irwin's death that shocked and saddened the world. It's even said that it impacted on the world more so than Princess Diana's death. He was indeed a great man who did nothing but loved the wildlife so passionately. The money he earned went to his charity "Wildlife Warriors" and his Zoo in Queensland. A sting from a manta sting ray that stabbed his chest while he was scuba diving causing cardiac arrest caused his death. He died at the age of 44.

On the same day as Steve Irwin's death, we also lost Colin Thiele. A respected Aussie author who wrote books that were very much loved by children around the country and the world. I think it's sad that Colin Thiele's death wasn't very much acknowledged. "Storm Boy" is probably his most famous work. It even became a movie. It's also one of my all time favourites. He was a very inspirational man and a respected teacher of 40 years. Heart complications caused his death. He died at the age of 85.

Today it was Peter Brock. An Aussie Motorcar racing legend. His career ran for 30 years. He was a great sports embassador like how Steve was a great embassador for conservation. He contributed to a lot of road safety in Australia. He died while he was racing, where he ran into a tree near Perth. He died at the age of 61.

We lost three great Australian icons this week...

Hmm...what an inspiring and educational day I had at uni today...

Event 1
3 hour laboratory session for Chemistry.
I wasn't sure what the heck we were doing...we were just collecting powder that formed from odd samples (I'm too tired...I can't remember what they were...they were acid stuff >_>;;) and weighed them etc etc etc. Except a lot of people didn't finish so we didn't get any results therefore we're seeing no way for us to finish the prac write up which we have to hand in next week...
I worked with Kimsze and we were so lost with what to do and why things went wrong (our substance was the only one in the entire class that turned pink...it looked remarkably like strawberry moose).

Event 2
Just a Chemistry tutorial...nothing much happened...(wasn't paying attention either...)

Event 3
What an interesting Biology lecture we had...
This lecture made me realise how intelligent lecturers are at this university. Sean Cox (Coxie) was waffling on and on about random stuff on mitosis and meiosis and didn't know the answers to some things and yaddayaddayadda.
I wrote down some funny quotes from this lecture said by Coxie:
1. *refers to the genetic material in sister chromatids for each daughter cell in mitosis* "They're different...but they separate, so they are identical"
2. *refers to an illustration of a naked woman* "That's a terrible picture...look at her face!"
3. *refers to a diagram of the cell cycle* "G naught is what they're doing when you're doing what you do."
*One questions Coxie's status as "Doctor"*

Now Eliza and I are in the comp labs, close to midnight, doing nothing productive (mind you we did homework for 2 hours and completed it!).

And it is time for me to end this blog!

- 16 annoying Biology questions on Protein Synthesis (and whatever's related to it...)
- 9 extremely long and complicated Chemistry Tutorial questions
The list is short but it took me *counts* oh ok...it didn't take me too long...it took me a grand total of 9 hours to complete both tasks x). IT'S 9 HOURS OF MY PRECIOUS LIFE COMPLETELY WASTED!

Today some of the year 12s from my high school came to uni for the titration competition. I saw Megan, Emma, Ada, Angelina, Paul, Nick, Winnie, Cassie, and some other familiar faces. I chatted to them for a few minutes and wished them luck. After seeing them, I felt really sad because I realised how much I missed high school.
Uni has its good points but it's just so dull...the work is hard...the environment is boring...
You don't have a connection with your lecturers and tutors like in high school. They don't give a damn if you're going to fail because they get paid heaps...
Everyone around uni is just so....adult like....you just can't go crazy with your friends!
Well...I lied...there was this one time my friends and I went to the grass area during a lecture break and we just rolled and tumbled around the grass as well as attempting cartwheels xD. That was awesome. One of the very rare moments of us acting like....teenagers? x) Although the aftermath of that for me was lumps and bumps of itchy torture all over my skin since I'm supposed to be allergic to grass...but oh well...it was all so worth it. After months of being (or trying to be) the sensible, studious uni student, it's just great to let it all loose and go psycho!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *moo*

I wish I could have more free time. I want to draw!!!!!! >_<;; Oh crap...I've got a list of requests! I better write it down before I forget. In order of priority: 1. Shan Shan's bday drawing 2. Lena's bday drawing 3. Lou's bday drawing 4. Mathew and Tommo's 100 score deviation (and if there are future 100% scorers) 5. Jade as the bad angel 6. Katerina as herself 7. Eliza's scorpion queen 8. Ryan's female ninja 9. Brendan's hybrid creatures *dies* I'm not gonna be able to do these for ages!!! *cries* Well, I hope I didn't forget to add anything on my list... *Yawns* hmm...perhaps I should go to bed...long day at uni tomorrow. Oh how I hate Thursdays...7 hours staight of class with no breaks is just too cruel!!!!!!!!! We're poor, paying, hardworking *cough*, and hungry uni students! They can't DO THIS TO US! I mean, expensive foods that are sold around the campus (and may I add having vending machines that only accept coins), ripping us off with TEXTBOOKS WITH RIDICULOUS RETAIL PRICES THAT WE HARDLY USE is BAD ENOUGH but WHAT IS WITH THE LONG DAYS OF CLASSES THAT AREN'T EVEN INSPIRINGLY EDUCATIONAL?!

*Clock strikes midnight in Singapore*

~HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY, LENA!!~

aww...isn't she sweet?! ^^

*Sigh* poor old Lena has to do an exam today...ON HER BIRTHDAY!! It's INJUSTICE!! >_<;; BEST OF LUCK, LENA!!! Anyway...I think it's time for me to go to bed now...I'm extremely sleep deprived and blargh...yes...my brain opened its hatch and ran away from me because I've been so unkind to it lately. COME BACK! I NEED YOU! *thinks* (ouch...that hurts)

I just heard some sad news from my tennant, Haydeh. She is a wonderful woman. So warm, and caring...
She's so light-hearted, good-natured, hard-working and she deserves all good things in life. She is a loving mother of four. She always tells me and my mother how blessed she is to have four angels as her children.
But sadly, life isn't always good to those who are the best in heart and mind...sometimes things that just seem so unfair can occur in life and we just sit and ask why...
Haydeh's youngest daughter...my age...was diagnosed with breast cancer today. It's already second degree...
I don't know her daughter, but I spoken to her for a few minutes on the phone while she was trying to contact her mother. She seemed like a very nice girl...especially knowing her mother and how much she loves her children. It's just so unfair...
Haydeh's currently in her room crying and praying. It pains me to see her like this...
So I just want to say a little prayer and hope this young girl will be okay...
I hope God will take care of her, and that she will recover and bring all the happiness back into Haydeh for she's spread unlimited amounts of happiness to others and to life...

I watched the match Italy vs Australia. A contraversial penalty kick to the Italians when the game was supposed to be over...after Australia dominating the game...a score that shattered the hearts the socceroos and millions of their fans, their hopes, and dreams. An injustice decision by the referee...again...and that's it. The socceroos are out of the World Cup...
My tears and pain among millions of others says it all...
All in all...I cannot be any more prouder for the socceroos for playing their hearts out and proving to the world they were a great team...

Mood: Happy!!!!

THE SOCCEROOS GOT THROUGH TO ROUND TWO! I CAN DIE HAPPY!
I invited Eliza over to sleep over for the match. In the morning we walked around Casuarina and came across a pile of yarn of all sorts of colours. I got a strange idea of making a pom pom and Eliza happily approved of that idea. We chose green and gold so we could make something to represent our patriotism and to cheer on the socceroos.
We arrived back to my place at around 1pm and just mucked around on the computer for a few hours.
After we had a pizza dinner, we got started with making the pom poms while watching videos (The Swan Princess and The Kind and I). We started the pom poms at 8:30pm, we finished at 4:30am just before the match between Australia and Croatia. We thought to ourselves: We stayed up this late and made pom poms for 8 hours just for this...this better be worth it!
I must say it was a rather tragic beginning for the socceroos. In the first two minutes, Croatia managed to score a goal with a free kick. Eliza and I had a spirit that just went ka-putt. So much for them getting into the second round we thought...
I swear the referees must have something against the socceroos...For the match against Japan, they let Japan score a goal even though they pushed our goalie over, which was an obvious foul. For the match against Brazil, Kewell couldn't get awarded a penalty kick, even though the Brazillian defender fouled, tripping him over in a goal scoring opportunity. The referee in this match was the worst...Viduka was in a good goal opportunity moment, while he was dribbling the ball in the penalty box, toward the goal, and this defender had his arms around his waist, restricting Viduka's movements for a good 8 seconds and the referee refuses to give them a penalty kick. What the hell?! The second time, Australia had another goal scoring opportunity, however the Croatian defender handballed it out. The referee STILL didn't offer them a penalty kick. That was two almost definite goals taken away from the socceroos.
Overall it was a really exciting game. Australia were out...then they were in, after Moore scored the first goal. Then they were out again after Croatia scored a rather unspectacular goal, because of the poor performance from Kalac, the Aussie goalie, but Harry Kewell...wow...he saved the day with his spectacular goal!
I feel for Viduka. He probably had the most shots on goal out of the entire team, yet he still failed to score one single goal...Viduka has such incredible luck (or lack of) with goals...XD...poor guy...
Kennedy is a player that makes me laugh. He is definitely not the most technically skilled player on earth, but he has such a big heart while playing. It's great watching him run psycho around the field. He did quite a lot of good for the team. It's great ^.^
Anyway...one last thing...
GO GHANA! YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY AND YOU BEAT THE CZECH REPULIC! HATS DOWN TO YOU ALL!!!I HOPE YOU KICK BRAZIL'S ARSE IN THE TOP 16!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes...and also...
GO THE SOCCEROOS! KICK ITALY'S ARSES!!!

I was doing the laundry and I found this little frog under the sink. That poor bugger was trapped and I was washing down washing powdered water onto it without realising (I'M SORRY, FROGGIE!).
I got it out of the sink with much difficulty, gave it a clean water bath, and let it out in the garden.
When I went back inside I stopped and thought: Hmm...you don't see much frogs during the dry season if at all...I hope I didn't let it out to die! So I went outside to look for it again. Thankfully it was at the same spot where I left it. I put the little froggie into a container filled with a bit of water. Then I did some research on google about green tree frogs because I was considering keeping it as a pet until the wet season. I found out they ate cockroaches and spiders. If you haven't known already, I am strongly against killing things. I even wrote stories about cockroachs and spiders not being killed by me xD. Then I found out that they can survive during the dry season in hollow trees and under rocks so I happily took the frog back outside and put it in the hollow bougainvillea tree. Before I did, I gave it a little kiss. It didn't turn into prince charming but, ahh well...who needs prince charming? The frog is way much cuter! ^.^
Well...that's all I wanted to say today. I saved a widdle prince charming ^.^

On Saturday there was a party at Liz's. The occasion was Sinead being in Darwin to visit from Brisbane. I was happy because my friends could finally properly meet Eliza since I got her to come to the party too. Erin came to pick me up at around 5:30pm. Ross hitched a ride with us too. We got to Liz's at quarter to 6 and the aromas of chocolate cake baking filled up my nostrils and wow...it smelt bloody good! Liz and Sinead were making a chocolate cake ^.^
At 6:45pm Erin, Brentley and I drove to Palmeston Bus Depot to meet up with Eliza who had to get dropped off by her sister. While we were waiting for her at the depot carpark, we sat on the car, turned up Panic! At the Disco with the CD Player in the car and just sang ^.^
Yay! Eliza finally arrived and we drove back to Liz's. I think Eliza was a bit intimidated at first with my friends since she didn't know anyone there but me. We were all crazy too...but then again...so is Eliza XD.
Later in the evening we put our money together and Sara, Lani, Sinead, Eliza and I drove to the Woolworth's store in Coolinga (just so they could perve on this hot staff apparently...) to buy some food. Then we went to get pizza from Dominoes and went back to Liz's to provide our friends with food.
When we got back, everyone were watching "Coupling" ^.^ then we stuffed ourselves with pizza and Liz's chocolate cake...mmmm...
Then we chucked on some DVDs. The first thing we attempted to watch was "Confidence" but the first 5 minutes of the movie seemed really boring so we stopped watching it and went with "Eurotrip". It would've been an alright movie if there weren't so many bloody naked people. What is it with the breasts and penises?! I guess it's for those uh...sad..people... >_>;;
After that we watched Benny & Joon and aww...it's such a lovely movie ^_^. Johnny Depp did a very good job acting in that movie. <3>_<;;) Eliza and I tried to go to sleep in the living room and we did at 4:30am. We slept well for 2 hours, then my mother woke us up to get us to sleep in my room, since she was going to work and no longer sleeping in my bed. I slept well for another 3 hours. Eliza slept for another 5 and a half. I wanted to wake her up but she just looked so peaceful I couldn't... She woke up at midday so I cooked Spaghetti Bolognaise for the both of us. Then we watched some more Naruto on my computer. We did that until 4:30pm, then Eliza and I walked to the Casuarina bus depot so she could catch the bus home. It was nice to have her around, with my friends, and over at my place. I must say I had a very nice weekend. However I must get cracking with my studying. In this blog I did not mentioned what has happened throughout the last 2 weeks. Well...I developed a boil on my left arm near the elbow. It grew really big, and chances were that it was going to infect my joint. I went to the doctors and they performed 5 consecutive surgeries on me the week before exam week. With all that surgery...I couldn't possibly study, so instead of doing the exams when they were scheduled...the university allowed me to do the exams next month, instead. The up side is...I have an extra month to study...the down side is...I won't have a 4 week holiday. I would've finished the university semester by now...*sigh*. Well...I think I'll go study now. I'm having great difficulty processing the information into my simpleton brain, and if I don't cram the information soon...my grades are going to suffer! Just got one thing left to say: GO THE SOCCEROOS! I'M SO BLOODY PROUD OF YOU! Time finished: 9:26pm Weather: Not as cool as I'd like it to be... Mood: A bit better...but could still be better...

Soccer is my fave sport in the world and the world cup is definitely my priority (it just sucks that it's during the exams....SOCCER FANATICS LIKE ME SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO STUDY AND SIT FOR EXAMS DURING THE FIFA WORLD CUP!!)

I'll talk about the best bit last XD...

The games I watched:

Germany vs Costa Rica (4-2):
I must say this was a bloody good opening game! I was more than pleased to see Germany win this game sensationally from pure skill. I've been on a high since the opening match...!!!!!!

England vs Paraguay (1-0):
Hmm...this was a disappointing match for me. I expected a lot more from England. Maybe it was the heat...glad England won though :)

Trinidad & Tobago vs Sweden (0-0):
I LOVED this game very much! I went for Sweden but omg...TRINIDAD ROCKED! I love to see unrecognised teams put on a show and gain respect. It was clear that Sweden was a better team but no matter how much they tried...Trinidad would just not let them score! Hats down to Trinidad! They're one of my faves now!

Serbia & Montenegro vs Netherlands (0-1):
Meh...a dissappointing game again. The Dutch were supposed to be almighty but I don't know...they didn't really show it. Their striker Ronnen seemed to be doing all the work...ahh well...I went for Holland... =)

Mexico vs Iran (3-1):
=( this is the only team I went for so far that lost. BOTH the teams played very well. It was a very good game indeed. Iran just didn't make it =(

Australia vs Japan (3-1):

Yeah...what more can I say?
Actually....I can say lots =D.
I was heartbroken when Japan scored first in the 28th minute. It should've been a foul!! For the entire game I was just shouting "YOU SOCCEROOS ARE SUCH PANSIES! DON'T JUST STAND THERE...ATTACK! YOU MIDFIELDERS...GET A MOVE ON! DELIVER THE BALLS PROPERLY!! GAAAAAAARGH!" and I was so frustrated...
but then...
a miracle happened!
CAHILL SCORES!
YAY! TIE!
At that point it was good enough for me. I nearly lost all hope for Australia to win.
Wha wha wha?!
CAHILL SCORES AGAIN!
ONLY 2 MINUTES LEFT IN THE CLOCK! YAAAAAAAAAY! SURELY AUSTRALIA WINS! YES!!!!!!!! (This is where I scream and nearly lose my voice...)
*blinks...misses*
HOLY CRAP! ALOISI SCORES (and it was a bloody nice shot too...first class striker skillz!!!)!!!!!!!
OMFG! 3 GOALS IN THE LAST 8 MINUTES! THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH! (Screams like mad...streaks around the room...runs outside...goes to the oval...streaks there...celebrates like I'm the happiest person alive....)
Now I got a sore:
- throat from screaming...
- hands from clapping
- cheeks from smiling!!! =D =D =D
I CAN DIE HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now...19th June.... Brazil vs Australia!! (Oh dear oh dear oh dear!) GOOD LUCK, SOCCEROOS!!

"History's against us.......STUFF HISTORY!"
"I TOLD YOU SO!"

Okay....that's all I can think of to say...I'm tired from all that jumping and running around (but so bloody happy!!!)

X-Men: The Last Stand/Bass in the Grass

2006-05-29T01:12:00.000+09:30

Time started: 1:10am
Place: My room
Weather: Cold
Mood: Tired

Yeah, I know I haven't been updating my blog lately. University work is piling up on me and taking me over so...yeah, I'll just use that as my excuse for now ;)

On Thursday night I went to watch X-Men: The Last Stand with Liz, Sara, Kat, and Joey. The movie wasn't brilliant but it wasn't bad either. Hugh Jackman was awesome as always >_o.
After our movie we went to Fasta Pasta for dinner. Everyone had pizza except Kat and I had Ravioli. I forgot what mine was called but it was nice XD. I ordered the entré size and it was still HUGE! Liz belched really loudly and scared the crap out of Joey (Joey's facial expression: O_O!!!). That was classic. I reckon Liz could beat any bloke with her belching ;)
After dinner, Joey took me for a ride in her new car. We drove to the city then she drove me back home. My mother wasn't impressed with me arriving home at 10pm but meh...

Hmm...on Friday I just stayed at Uni all day doing homework at the computer labs with Eliza. It wasn't a very exciting day. The highlight of the day was getting my Anatomy & Physiology Practical Report back with a mark of 92%...YAAAAAAAAY!!! ^_^

Saturday...hmm...I started with a bad day. I realised I left my wallet in the computer labs on Friday evening. I walked over to the computer labs in the morning but they were locked and I couldn't get in without my student card to scan on the door (since it was in my wallet). I walked back home and waited for Rose to wake up. When she did I asked if I could borrow her student card to get into the computer labs. Thanks to her, she borrowed it to me and yay! I could get into the computer labs. Just when I thought things were going to be okay, I walked up to the door of the lab I was in on Friday...and found...that...the...bloody...door...was...locked >_<;;! Fortunately, this guy said "you can call security to get them to open the door for you". He took me to the phone and rang them up for me. The security guy responded, came up to the labs and opened the door for me. Hoping that my wallet was still there by the computer, I walked anxiously to it...and there is was!! =D YAY! Feeling relieved, I stayed in the labs to do my online test on the Respiratory System for Anatomy & Physiology. Let's just say I was too pissed off about my morning to care and I got a really bad mark... -.-;; After that I went down to the bus stop to catch the 10am bus to the Botanical Gardens for Bass in the Grass (it's a Darwin version of The Big Day Out). Halfway through my trip, Sosefina (this year she's in year 11 at Darwin High, one of Sammy's friends) got onto the bus. Sose sat next to me and we just caught up with each other about our lives. It was Sose's first time at Bass in the Grass too and was worried about mosh pitting like me XD. We arrived at the Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the concert. I was actually surprised with the lack of people that came at that time of the day. First up was a band called Stokes Hill. They weren't too bad but there weren't enough people there to listen to them. I estimated there were about 1,000 people at the most. Next it was Neo, a local band, one member who is in fact a teacher at Darwin High (he painted his entire body red...it was kinda cool). They weren't too bad ^_^. After Neo, it was Zennith, a band from Alice Springs consisting of 16 year olds. By that time, Jade arrived at the place and she was busy perving on the guys with their abs in that band...haha... XD. Come to think of it...all the girls were...(except me). I thought the guitarist was cool though, only because he could play guitar riffs behind his head. It was 12pm and my friends weren't here yet -.-. Next up was Flesh Petal. The chick who played the guitar was cool, the singing chick...meh...I dunno...let's just say she can't sing (or scream...yeah...it's a goth emo band XD). YAY! Finally, Lani, Sara, Liz and Ross arrived! :D I was no longer alone! ^^. Throughout the day, more and more people came to fill up the area. And finally...the moment we've been waiting for...one of my favourite bands...28 DAYS! YAY!!! I stood right at the front of the moshpit filming them with my camera and singing along to their songs ^_^. I love them!!! After their performance I went to get their autographs and managed to get a photo with Jay, the vocalist. I love the photo!! ^^ Here's the photo!

Muahaha! Isn't it awesome? ^^
It's JAY DUNNE FROM 28 DAYS...STANDING WITH ME FOR A PHOTO!!!!!
(yeah, I finally figured out how to put images onto the blog XD)

Anyway...after that, we all went to buy some lunch from the food stalls. I just got a hotdog with cheese on top. They didn't have anything healthy around -.-
The Fakers were playing while we were eating. I didn't pay much attention to them unfortunately. I think they weren't too bad though...

While I was being bored and hanging out with my friends I took a photo with my lovely friend, Sara (as you can see in the image on the right!). Haha, she's so cute with that monkey face ^.^

Next was Lee Harding who came 3rd on Australian Idol. I liked him in Idol but meh...I wouldn't listen to him if I got paid. I hate commercialised music. When he sang, everyone pegged water bottles and food at him. Poor bloke was trying to dodge 50 bottles flying and aiming for his head. Yeah, noone wanted to listen to him. Poor guy. I felt really sorry for him. Everyone was being so rude. Lee took it really well though. He kept on smiling and performing. Finally his show was done. He must've felt humiliated and relieved.
Hmm...I was bored from then on. And tired. I also developed a bad sunburn on my left shoulder and developed a huge headache >_<;;. The Herd played next. Meh...I suppose they weren't TOO bad. I only liked 2 of their songs though. That band stole our name...(my group of friends called ourselves "The Herd" in high school...we even got a personaly forum with just us in their "grazing" around XD) WE ARE THE REAL HERD, DANGIT! >_<;; Hmm...after that, Worldfly (a band from Uni) played. They weren't bad, but their music wasn't suitable for moshing. YAY! SOMETHING FOR KATE WAS ON NEXT! They were one of my fave bands a few years ago, but I didn't know enough songs from them to make them my fave. They were really good, and so were their songs. Everyone was singing along with them and moshing and stuff XD. Meh...next was Pete Murray and the mosh pit went crazy!! Pete Murray's really good but he's a bit mellow for me...like he's on pot or something XD. The guys loved him. Everyone was crowd surfing and this guy landed on my head. I was knocked out, unconcious for a few seconds. At the ambulance I was fixed up though. Stupid crowd surfers! >_<;; Yeah...I blame Pete Murray. After I recovered from my brief black out, I went over to a grass area to sit down and rest. Pete Murray took ages on the stage >_<;; I WANT HIM OFF ALREADY!
Yay! Hilltop Hoods were on next. We all went down to mosh again. This time the crowd wasn't as crazy but omg...there were so many people. The entire area was filled now. I think there was about 20,000 people in the mosh pit. Yeah...I was bashed up a lot in there XD. I was short too so I couldn't see the stage very well, if at all...
Finally...the moment arrived...the moment I've been waiting for. The moment that everyone who was there was waiting for...The Living End!!!!!!!!! The best aussie band their ever was and ever will be!!!!!!! The best in the WORLD, even. Their performance was breath taking! It was so good it brought tears to my eyes, even when I was just moshing and singing away. I was also really cold and wet (we got sprayed with the hose all day while in the mosh pit) but I didn't care. I was watching The Living End live!!!
Chris Cheney amazed me so much with his guitar playing. He could sing so well...while playing the guitar. And Scott Owen...with that massive double bass...it was excellent. At one stage Chris stood on top of the double bass while the both of them played at the same time. That was a sight to see. I wish I could've taken a photo then, but with the hose spraying on us, I couldn't take the camera out.
I think The Living End got about 5 encores that night. They were just so bloody good, we didn't want them to ever stop playing.
The concert unfortunately ended at around 11:30pm. We were all bashed up, tired, and stank of beer (I didn't drink any...there were just a lot of guys moshing around me who were drunk or half drunk). I took one of the free buses home. I met a cool pom bloke who sat next to me named Mark. We had a good convo about The Living End and soccer XD. He gave me some good advice about life too. Meh, don't get the wrong idea lol. He's 30 years old XD.
Finally I arrived home. I left my poor mother worried. It was the first time I've been out for the whole day, in a crazy place filled with horny drunk people (haha...nice description eh?), coming home at midnight by myself and she was even more worried as I stank of beer.
I annoyed her as I bragged on about The Living End. Their performance was just...meh...there's no words to describe it! It was a very significant experience in life, of mine.
Yeah...I was tired, so I took a shower, and crashed into bed and slept until midday the next day.

When I woke up, I missed watching The Living End so I listened to the songs I have by them all day (I think for about 11-12 hours). They definitely proved to me that they were the most talented band that ever existed.

I'm really tired now -.- and I've got so much homework and studying to do.
I think I'll call it quits now.

Time finished: 2:55am
Weather: Cold
Mood: Tired but happy remembering how bloody awesome it was to see The Living End ^^

Place: My Room
Weather: Cool & Calm
Mood: Relaxed and Unmotivated

Wow...it's been a while since I posted something here. I've been so busy with homework and been so unmotivated lately I just didn't get the chance to post something. Well, I can't remember what I did for all of the last 18 days and I don't think anyone would bother reading a blog that talks about 18 days so I'll just talk about the highlight of the last 18 days....MY 18TH BIRTHDAY, OF COURSE!

The night before I turned 18 I was counting down, minute by minute, until 12:28am (the time that I was born) on the 13th of May. I was actually dreading that moment to come. Eventually it did come and meh...I turned 18 XD. Well, I was dreading it before but now I'm glad I'm 18. My birthday party just convinced me that it'd be a good age. My 17th party had some bad signs in it and it turned out that my age of 17 was not a remarkable one at all...but let's not talk about 17...let's talk about 18 XD.

My Birthday Party:
10am - Emily came to pick me up to go to Lake Leanyer (yes, I needed to get a lift off her to my own birthday party...how sad...dang mother...she wouldn't let me have the car >_<;;).
Samantha called me and asked me where I was at around this time. "Um...the party starts at 10:30..." XD. Poor confused child...
10:30am - Em and I arrived at Lake Leanyer, Samantha was already there.
11:00am - A couple of more people came. We played around on the water playground (the giant bucket is so cool...) and swam in the lake..yeah... >_>;;
Later time - Everyone came. I opened the presents...muahahaha...the presents are so cool ^.^ THANKS EVERYONE!
Later time - We swam a bit more, then decided we were hungry so we drove to Casuarina to get some lunch.
1:30pm - Some of us sat around the Eatery (or food court, whatever you want to call it) and ate our lunches. I think I had a Sweet Chilli Wrap thingy from KFC (not healthy, I know...but meh...I'm usually healthy...let's get all junkie on my birthday!).
3:00pm - Went to the cinemas and watched "She's the Man" (my second time...I love this movie ^.^)
4:50pm - We drove to Dripstone Cliffs/Casuarina Beach and played with the frisbees and hackey sacks for a while then we stuffed ourselves with salad, pepsi max, and some other random food. I went down to the beach and took some photos of the most gorgeous sunset then went back up to the cliffs and it got dark and the biggest, most brightest and most beautiful fullmoon was up in the sky. It was amazing! Imagine you're holding a soccer ball in front of you. Now imagine that's the moon...that's how big it was! I'm so lucky! The sky gave me spectacular presents! Then we got the cake out (Erin, Brentley, Erin's mum and I made it...the cake looks like Oscar the grouch in a trash can btw...^.^), lit the candles, sang, blew them out, and cut it =D. It was a delicious cake indeed...compliments to the chefs...hehehe XD. Then we just sat in the dark and talked to each other about random stuff. I love my friends ^.^. Being with them just makes all the difference in my life...making it just so much more special <3.
8:30pm - We packed up everything and some of us went to Erin's place. We just sat around the lounge room, talked about random stuff and played cards. I was acting really chirpy and childish and immature and crazy and loud etc etc etc so people established the fact that I couldn't get drunk on my 18th birthday so I just got drunk on pepsi max XD. Some of us left one by one until Emily, Lani and I were the last ones remaining. We stayed there til 10:30pm, said our goodbyes and Emily drove me home. I guess that's the end of my party.

Yeah, I didn't make my party sound too exciting because I only briefly said what we did and nothing specific but meh...I'll always remember them so it's okay ^.^

Just want to acknowledge Evan's stay in Darwin. Evan was a high school friend of mine who went down to Canberra to train for the army. He came up, I bumped into him a few days before my party and told him to come. I must say it has been a pleasure having him here and spending time with him =D. All the best to you, Evan! Hope I catch up with you before you go or see you some time in the near future! Don't forget Des and Troy (don't worry...inside joke >_O...if you want to know the significance of Des and Troy just ask me XD).

On Wednesday, 17th, it was my P.I.T.'s (Psycho Insomniac Twin's) 18th birthday! Bities! I love you! Thanks for sharing the birthday party with me! I don't think I'd find someone better to share it with! Hope you love 18 as much as I love you! =Hugluff's Bities=

Hmm...that's all I have to say for now...except for I SHOULD BE DOING MY MICROBIOLOGY HOMEWORK INSTEAD OF WRITING A BLOG!!!! >_<;;

Hope I update this more frequently again...I've been so slack!

Nyahaha...I love 18 so far...

Top?!/I Love Gift Shopping!/Happy Anniversary!/14 Hours of Sleep!

2006-04-30T11:07:00.000+09:30

Time started: 11:08am
Place: My room
Weather: Beautiful
Mood: Content

Mih...I've been so lazy lately I don't update my blog daily like I used to -.-;;
Anyway...let's start with Thursday:

Top?!:
Hehe...I came to class late today for Design & Innovation (I didn't think I'd sleep in). It started at 9am but I got there half an hour late. Didn't matter though because all we did that day was have the tutors tell us how we went in our orals. My group got 92% for our oral and apparently we topped the entire unit (which had 297 people)! WOOHOO! We were so worried!
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! We finished class 2 hours early! Muahahaha! >=D
Katerina and I went to the computer rooms to meet up with Eliza after class. She was busy doing her Chemistry Tutorial questions and we kept her company until about 1pm. Then Katerina and I went to Casuarina for lunch. We both had Red Rooster. Later we just walked around aimlessly (as usual) around Casuarina then we went to the library at around 3pm. I saw my Sammy Wammy who just arrived from school *huggles her Sammy Wammy*. Then we went back to Casuarina so Katerina could meet up with her younger sister. Katerina went present shopping with her sister and I went home.
Hmm...what did I do when I went home? >_<;; I can't remember...
I think I just drew...no wait! I wrote a letter! That's it...hehe...
At night I was being the usual...a bum on the computer talking to people...I can't remember anything significant...
NO! WAIT! Hehe...I had this 3 hour argument with Jarrad about whether Earth was an element or not...hehe, that was kinda fun XD. None of us admitted defeat so I have no idea who won the argument. I tried to form allies with other people but they all ended up backing up Jarrad's side of the argument *grumbles* except for Lisa...she's cool XD. Yay! *Huggles Lisa*.
Mih...that argument really drained my brain.
After that I watched a few episodes of Naruto (it's getting so scary! O_o;;) then went to bed...

I Love Gift Shopping!:
In the morning I finished off writing a letter and making a birthday card ^.^, after that I was in a happy mood.
Then I had to go to university to meet up with Kat and Eliza. I met them at the computer labs at 11am. Then we set off to Casuarina to go gift shopping. Eliza bought her sister a top from City Beach, Katerina bought her sister earrings (mih...everyone has sisters but me *cries*). I'm not going to reveal what I bought for who just yet in case this person reads this...I had so much fun finding the present though =D. Happy happy joy joy! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Gift shopping! It's one of my favourite things to do =). Eliza left at around 2:00pm so it just left us with Katerina and me. We just browsed around, got some snacks (chocolate! Yummy =P), then Katerina had to go to her lecture. We caught the 2:30 bus, she got off at Uni, I got of at my place. Then I just went home, watch a few Naruto episodes, was a computer bum for the rest of the day (seriously, I need to get out more...).

Happy Anniversary!:
While I was being a bum on the computer I spent hours and hours drawing on the computer for Lou and Jasper since it was their 6 month anniversary this night. Meeheehee...it took me about 10 hours in total to do, I showed them and they loved it =D yay! Jarrad couldn't handle people complimenting me so he joined deviantart just to give me nasty comments on the drawing (how mean! JARRAD YOU BASTID!) XD. Ahh well, it gave me a good laugh.
In the evening I watched some more Naruto XD...(I'm addicted in case you couldn't tell!).
Hehe...then the usual...I went to bed at around 1am! I slept very well that night.

14 Hours of Sleep!:
I woke up at 11am on Saturday morning. Told you I slept very well that night >_O. That was already 10 hours of sleep. Then I browsed around deviantart and did a bit of homework until 1pm. Then I was sleepy again so I went ot sleep. I woke up at 5pm. Woohoo! Another 4 hours of sleep. You know...for an insomniac, when you're sleeping this much...if feels really, really good =D.
When I woke up I made some plans for my birthday party. Erin and I decided to have another joint birthday party this year. So far our plans are:
In the morning: Go for a swim at Lake Leanyer.
Afternoon: (The initial idea was to watch the Da Vinci Code but that doesn't come out til May 18th...bugger!) Go watch a movie...
Evening: Go to Casuarina beach and have a picnic dinner...
Wow...I can't believe I'm going to be 18 soon...that's so scary! X_x.
Hehe...you guessed it. I was being a computer bum for the rest of the evening. When there was no one to talk to on msn I just watched another Naruto episode until 1:30am and went to bed.
There you have it...an updated blog! Yay! (I know it's not very exciting reading about me being a computer bum hehe...)

Temporary Freedom

2006-04-26T23:47:00.000+09:30

Time started: 11:46pm
Place: My room
Weather: Boring
Mood: Relaxed

Hmm...I guess I'm a bit disappointed that Cyclone Monica didn't come at all (I wanted it to come while it was category 1 but it died before it even arrived). However I'm glad that we're all okay. Monica did quite a lot of damage to other areas like Jabiru and the Gulf. Luckily no one was killed because the cyclone mostly hit isolated areas.
Anyway...I didn't do much yesterday. I wasn't happy yesterday because school was back on today *grumbles* so I spent the entire day trying to do my Anatomy & Physiology practical report. Bleargh...I didn't quite leave it to the last minute...I just didn't know how to do it X_x so in a way...I left it to the last minute hehe...
I wish I didn't know how to procrastinate. I hate wasting time >_<. Well, I love wasting time if it's with my friends but...the after affects suck...so....yeah...if you have a procrastinating problem like me...STOP IT NOW! >_<;;
There should be like a club called "Procrastinatics Anonymous" (I know there's no such word as "Procrastinatics" but it was so you could relate to "Alcoholics").
Procrastinating lead me to staying up until 5am doing my assignment, going to restless sleep until 7:30am, getting up and trying to finish your homework but end up falling asleep for another hour, getting up and try again, instead I procrastinated until I had to go to school at 1pm. I went to school, had to do a Microbiology practical at 1-3pm, went to the computer labs to finish off my assignment thinking "OH FARG! YOU ONLY HAVE 2 HOURS LEFT TO COMPLETE IT! >_<". Luckily I completed it by 5pm (which was when my next laboratory session started).
Anyway...I'll talk about our microbiology practical. Not much happened. Eliza, Marcus and I observed our own bacteria which came from our tonsils (yummy... -___-;;) then we used our saliva to place onto an agar plate so we could observe bacteria that came from it next week (oh joy...). Eliza managed to grow fungi again hehe...I shall call her...THE QUEEN OF FUNGUS!
Hmm...after I finished my assignment, we had the Chemistry practical. It was boring too. We built model atoms out of plastic and straws and we observed their shapes and determined their folds and angles. I'm not going to go into detail about the folds and stuff because it's so blardy complicated >_<;;.
Yay! Time to go home! I'm so tired -___-;;. I'm so glad I have temporary freedom though. I don't have any more assessment items to complete for this week! Yay! ^^
I went home, had a shower, ate dinner, watched TV (but I can't remember what was on TV...), got onto the computer, talked briefly to my friends. Wow...I just realised I didn't do anything online (besides talking to my friends, which I wasn't really...) but complete this memes thingy on deviantart. How sad. I've been on for 3.5 hours too...dude...I'm slow. Hehe...I guess I'm slow at everything. I take hours and hours to do a simple assignment. It'd take me hours and hours to do a simple memes too. Nuuuuuu >_<;; I wish I worked faster! Then I wouldn't be so stressed all the blardy time!
Anyway. I'm beet! Completing a hard assignment at the last minute is tiring work. Brain power: 0% (because there IS NO brain...).
Hmm...I probably won't sleep though, despite how tired I am. It's always like this. I'll probably stay up and read a book, or write a letter or something. *Shrugs* or I could just lie down in bed and sleep hehe ;).
*Goes to embrace her temporary freedom*

Rebecca is back/Emily has her licence!/Drawing and Teaching/Cyclone Monica's coming!

Time started: 10:01pm
Place: My room
Weather: Calm before the storm
Mood: Worried

Hmm...I haven't written a blog in ages. I'll start with "Rebecca is back"

Rebecca is back:
Today I woke up at around 8am to go to school early and do my 6 assignments that were due today (hehe, talk about last minute). Well...I woke up early, but I went back to sleep again X_x. I said I'd meet Eliza at 9:30 am. She messaged me when it was close to 10 and my reaction was "OH S***!". I got ready as fast as I could and bolted to the computer labs where I was going to meet Eliza.
When I got there Eliza was busy with her chemistry practical write up. She was nearly finished. I just started my practical write up when I got there. Luckily it didn't take me too long to finish it. I wasn't in the right mind that day either because of the previous events the night before with Jarrad *grumbles*. Eliza went on with her 5 other microbiology assignments (which I had failed to start....hehe...) and soon got them done before she had to leave at 2:30pm. I got mine done half an hour after her which was good ^^. I think I did well with the assignments too. I handed in my and Eliza's assignments then went home to rest. Five hours straight of doing assignments really wears out your brain.
Anyway, at 6pm Erin and Brentley arrived. Erin was picking me up to take me to Hog's Breath Cafe (it's really a restaurant...) to meet up with Rebecca who came to visit from Katherine. I went over to Erin's for a while because Erin and Brentley had to take a shower. Then at quarted to 7 we went to pick up Emily and went to the city. When we arrived at the restaurant we walked in and Rebecca was nowhere to be found. We walked out and rang her mobile to ask where she was. "I'm in here waiting for you guys...where are you?" so we went back in again to look for her. Ahh...THERE she is XD.
We waited for about 15 minutes for a table then we finally got one. We ordered our meals (3 of us got Chicken Dijoinaise because we decided to be special) and waited for Lani who was supposed to arrive later. Yay! Lani arrived and we happily ate together and had odd conversations like we usually have. After our dinner we went to Rebecca's apartment just to sit and chat with each other for a while. Emily made this strange comment about Erin being a 40 year old man and Lani bursted into wild laughter for about 30 straight minutes (we had no idea why she found it so funny but it was amusing to watch her...). We stayed there until around 10:30pm then decided it was time for us to go home. Erin drove me and Emily home while we sang to Panic! At the Disco's album playing in the car ^^.
When I got home I just chatted with some friends online. Yay! Jarrad and I are talking to each other again XD. Anyway...late at night I watched a few episodes of Naruto (just because I was really bored) then went ot bed.

Emily has her licence!:
I slept in again -.-;;. I was supposed to wake up at 7:30am and walk over to Emily's house. I woke up at 8:15am from Emily messaging me asking when I was going to come...oops...I told her I slept in so she told me not to worry and she was going to pick me up. I got ready for her arrival then yay! Emily's here...with her car...with her DRIVING...with her LICENCE! About time she got her licence >__<" poor bugger XD. We had much doubt about which way Harvey Norman was too. We just kept driving down the highway and we knew that Harvey Norman was near this other place called "Wow". We were at these set of traffic lights and I said "hmm...maybe Harvey Norman isn't along this road. We should be there by now *looks to her right*...OH! WOW!" XD. Hahahahahahahaha...ha...heh...ehem...well...it was funny at the time! OKAY?! Yay! We arrived at Harvey Norman (for some odd reason Emily was going "WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" when we entered into the carpark (she's scared of her own driving lol). At Harvey Norman we tried to look for sofas that matched our shoes (there wasn't much success) then we looked at laptops and cameras and phones etc etc etc. When we got bored of Harvey Norman we went to Wow, the other electrical superstore. We had fun browsing the CDs they were selling (Yay! They had albums other than mainstream in there ^^). Soon we got bored of Wow too and so Emily drove us home. This was the last time I'd see Rebecca in a while so I gave her a hug and said goodbye. When I got home, I can't remember what I did. I think I just did homework and went online for pretty much the rest of the day. Drawing and Teaching:
Dang it >_< come ="S.">_<;;; It's not fair *cries*. He did have an image manipulating program though. I only had Paint XP. Anyway, when I was tired I went to bed. And now...time for the IMPORTANT part of this blog...

Cyclone Monica's coming!:
I woke up with no worries. It was 8am and I was about to head off to school to do some homework. Then I talked to Katerina before I was about to go and she reminded me about the cyclone warning. Gargh! I skipped school today so I could prepare for it. I packed up all my important belongings, filled in containers with drinking water and WORRIED!! X_x
If you want to know about it here's the site regarding the cyclone:
http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDD65811.shtml (I don't know if this website updates itself or not...I got this site today.)
Well anyway, the cyclone's category 5, its name is Monica (in case you couldn't tell >_O), erm...it has the potential to wipe out the entire town...and is HEADING THIS WAY!! X_x
So...if I'm not online for a while...you'll know why (no no no! Don't assume I'm dead! It just means we've got no power and stuff...mih...I COULD be dead >_> but nah...I refuse to die hehe >_O).
After I packed up stuff I was really tired. I slept for a bit (wow, I've been sleeping a lot lately) and watched Naruto on my computer. Then I ate dinner, watched weather reports on TV (the cyclone's still coming) and got my lazy bum onto the computer again to talk to my friends (a lot of my Darwin friends aren't too worried...they're quite excited actually...).
Then I realised I haven't written a blog for ages so here I am...
Hmm...I hope I get to update this blog further in the future (in other words I hope I survive).
To all those reading this...TAKE CARE! I LOVE YOU ALL! *Hugs and kisses* I'm sure I'll survive the cyclone >_O

Tuesday's edit:
Well...the cyclone was heading the other way for a while (and it's down to category 1) but now it's heading back to Darwin again but it will merely be a bother. Don't worry...we're all going to stay alive XD.

I studied unproductively until 2am. I gave up with trying so I went to bed. I got up at 7:30 in the morning (note: I didn't sleep a wink...) and slowly got ready to go to school. I arrived at the library at half past 8 in the morning. I just went through the bloody textbook for 3 hours non-stop. It was the first time in ages I managed to study for that long productively. Eliza soon arrived at school and that was enough to stop me. Her calculator died so we went to the Uni Shop to buy a new one. Then we went to sit by the basketball courts to eat our lunches and do a bit of studying.
Soon it was time for our Microbiology laboratory session. Oh joy, we measured the diameters of bacterial growth... -.-
Yeah, Eliza and I just got our practicals over and done with because we just wanted to leave. We went up to the cafeteria and studied there. Kylie soon came along and joined us. The cafe played the "Three Days Grace" album and instead of studying I was just singing the entire time. I just couldn't be stuffed anymore. Soon it was time for that dreaded moment. The Chemistry Mid-Semester Exam! Heart throbbing...we eventually had to go inside the room where we actually required to have our brain cells respire for once...the first few questions were great...then it just kept getting harder and harder and harder. I finished the exam an hour early so I checked through it again, there were a few questions I couldn't do but besides that I think I did okay overall.
When I got home I just relaxed. I didn't want to worry about anything. I was still at that carefree stage. I talked to Jarrad on the microphone all night. I was happy, he was happy, we got along, we created the a story about a man with no arms, one leg, no brain, and functioned with his liver...we just mucked around like the good old days...it hasn't been like that for ages...
Well....good things can't last...
Anyway...I had to do my oral today so after finishing having the happiest conversation in my life I got back to reality and prepared for my oral and progress report for my design group. I did the work until 5am, it wasn't good. I went to bed, woke up at 7:30am and got ready to go to the library to practise with the group at 8:30am. Our oral session began at 9 so we had to hurry up and get things done. When class was about to start the entire group felt so much dread. We were definitely beyond unprepared. We were the fourth group up. Katerina's group were first. They made us feel so stupid when they finished. When I spoke, I had such stage fright. I was trembling to the bone. I managed to get through my words though, so did everyone else. After we finished the tutor came up to our group personally and told us "You were the best group today". We just celebrated because we were so certain to do apallingly. We finished class an hour early today...Katerina and I walked over to my house and relaxed until quarter pass 12 in the afternoon. We then caught the bus from my house to Casuarina to have some lunch. The both of us were broke so we just went window shopping for a couple of hours. We did that until 3 and took the bus back to my house. Kat and I drank creaming soda (one thing we DID buy)and didn't do much, bumming around in my room until it was time for Katerina's class which started at 5.
After she left I just bummed around the computer. I played Go (Japanese Containment Chess) with Jasper online. Obviously I lost by a long shot. I talked to Jarrad as well. We were happy still, getting along just fine. Then he brought up something, made me awkward, and we just stopped talking...me and my stupid feelings for him...it's ruining our friendship. Perhaps it's already ruined. He left without saying goodnight, one of the signs of "I can't deal being friends with you because you're in love with me and I can't deal with that...". Right now it just feels like my heart's been stabbed over and over again and it's just slowly bleeding to death. Then it got stolen from me, got chucked to the ground and just got trampled on all over. How many times has this happened already? I still have my heart to give...it's all torn, tattered, broken and worthless yet I still offer it...why?
Um...yeah...been crying for hours now. Great. Got homework to do too. I'll skip that. Too sad to do anything. Pathetic!
Go cry on your bed, emo girl. Shut up and leave the world alone! No one needs to know your insecurities.

Time finished: 2:13am (yeah, I took ages...so what? You try writing a blog while you're crying your eyes out and not thinking about anything else but the one you love and how much you screwed up with your friendship!)

Time started: 12:12am

Weather: Cool & Calm
Mood: Same as the weather to an extent, but at the back of my mind it's yelling "BE STRESSED!!!!"

After my last entry I just did a bit of homework for a few hours then got back online in the evening and talking in this mass conversation with some of my closest friends. An awful thing happened that night though. I added Ken into the conversation (he's a US Marine) and Jarrad started insulting him because he was 1. American, 2. A Marine. He said the harshest things and Ken got really offended and they ended up yelling at each other. I was disgusted with Jarrad's behaviour! I just couldn't believe that I fell in love with this guy! I tried my hardest to comfort Ken...it worked. He's understanding. Fortunately it wasn't long until Jarrad realised how much of an arsehole he was being. He was absolutely disgusted with himself and I felt really bad for him. I cried actually because I couldn't bear to see him like that. I got really worried because I've never seen him this upset but I was glad he admitted he was wrong and sincerely (I hope) apologised to Ken. They both apologised to me for fighting. The world is so judgemental these days. I hate it when people base their decisions about a person just on what country they come from, especially when they know nothing about the person. As much as I hated what Jarrad done that doesn't stop the fact that we're best friends and I stuck with (not for!) him until he went to bed. I think he hated himself that night. I know the feeling, it's not nice. Ken felt fine in no time though (that's the spirit! Don't get put down by silly things that people say!). I'm glad he's okay.
I talked to my other faithful friends until I had to get off. I was still in a pretty bad mood though...
The next morning I did my Chemistry Lecture online (rather than at school, stupid Lecturer!) and I talked to Ken. Ken was happy =). I was still really worried about Jarrad so I messaged him to try to make him happy =). Then it was time for my second lecture. I went to school, met up with Kat and Eliza for lunch. Kat talked about her Easter holiday and how she did stuff with her family. Eliza and I didn't talk much hehe but we listened intently =P. For Anatomy & Physiology we had a relief lecturer and I don't think anyone learnt anything from her. For the entire lecture I just drew a collage in my little drawing book ^^. Jade made some contributions into the collage as well ^^. We got let out of the lecture an hour early so we had a two hour break. Jade and I sat near the basketball court, ate chips, and studied Anatomy & Physiology together. I never knew Jade very well at high school. I'm glad that I was getting to know her better now =). It was nice to know that I was an option for her to have someone to talk to as well since she had no close friends around at Uni and had a tough time with dealing her emotions with life too. It was a good feeling, getting along with her, someone I didn't know very well, this afternoon at school.
Soon it was time for my final lecture, Microbiology, so I said goodbye to Jade and went to class. Jim, our lecturer put me and Eliza to sleep. Good ol' Jim. He's great at doing that...
Yay! We got let out an hour and 20 minutes early =). I went home, ate dinner, watched TV with my mum then had the intention of going into my room to do my assignment on the computer but DANG MSN! MSN IS DISTRACTING! I went online and talked to Jarrad and Jasper. Mostly Jarrad. He seemed happy again =). I don't know why, but I had a feeling he wanted to talk to me tonight. I think tonight he was telling me "thank you" in his own special, untelling way. *Bounce bounce bounce!*
Then I appeared offline so I could concentrate on my studying.
Hmm...but however, tonight...for the very first time in my life I feel under control, like I have no worries despite the fact that I have a midsemester exam worth 20% tomorrow and an oral presentation on Thursday and millions of things due on Friday. This is sooooooooooooooooooooo not my normal self. What's going on?! WHY AM I NOT STRESSING?! Oh well...it feels great not to stress (for now...it'll probably all sink in tomorrow the minute before the exam). I think I'll regret not stressing tonight because it's discouraging me to not work or study...but I just want to embrace this feeling. I feel so refreshed! I have this theory that I'm feeling like this because of Jarrad. I think I'm happy that he really loves, needs and appreciates me as a friend....I hope XD. And that after that stupid argument he had last night, Jarrad changed, in a good way....I hope XD. I don't know. Maybe I'm just being stupid again X_x.
Anyway...I'm going to study now. Maybe this no stress is beneficial because I'll eventually study productively ^_^. Stressing never really helped during study...come to think of it. I think tonight while I'm studying I'll enjoy it more because I'm in a good mood ^_^. Wieee! For the first time in my life, tonight I'm optimistic about myself. I like this feeling. OKAY! *Discipline comes in* TIME TO STUDY!!!!

In the morning I just did a bit of homework (stupid tutor hasn't emailed me back yet...I don't think she ever will... >_<). Nothing much happened yesterday. In the afternoon I taught and I was particularly strict yesterday but at the end I gave my students easter eggs so they can't complain ;). I'm going to increase my teaching charge from $30 an hour to $40 an hour. My piano teacher's complaining that I'm charging too cheap for my experience. Well...I guess she's right...I have been teaching for 4 years but everyone's skeptical about a teenager teaching...so...meh =P. I felt a bit sad after teaching. Kae-jenn begged me to stay in Darwin for next year so I could still teach him =( that made me feel incredibly sad. It is very true that I am going to miss my students terribly...*sigh* I wish the university here was better...then I wouldn't have to go...but then again, moving out would probably be a good option for me since I am "too dependent" at the moment. Anyway...Lani came over at quarter to 6 to pick me up and take me to Liz's party. After she picked me up we went to pick up Niamh. This was the first time I've seen Niamh in months, since our graduation. She went down to Adelaide to study. Her family moved to Aaron and Caitlin's former house (before Aaron and Caitlin moved down to Adelaide...wow...everyone's gone/going to Adelaide and Melbourne...). We then went off to our half an hour drive to Liz's house (in some countries a half an hour drive isn't very far...but in relation to Darwin...it's FAR!!!). When we got there, Sara, Ross, Erin, and Brentley were already there talking with Liz and David. They were all downstairs, sitting in a circle listening to music. We talked for a few minutes then some of us went to go get some Pizza and drinks from the store. I stayed behind with Erin and Brentley and we played Black Jack. I kept on getting 16 for my first two cards and my first hit is ALWAYS 10 >_<. I got 26 like...100 times that night. I swear...if Black Jack was 26 to win...I'd be filthy rich if I was really gambling =P. After everyone came back with the food, Ross and David joined in. Ross and David were funny, they kept switching cards with each other so they both would get as close to 21 as possible. David kept on doing his evil grin and it was really creeping me and everyone else out (Liz does that grin too...I guess it must be a Crossley thing...genetics perhaps...their father, Chris does it too XD). After we got tired with Black Jack we stuffed ourselves with Pizza and chocolate muffins. Sara and I hogged the hawaiian pizza box hehe...Erin hogged the creaming soda >:0 but hehe...^^ at least we managed to get Ross not to hog anything ^^ (he wasn't particularly happy...). Later people wanted to play "Spotlight" but I was sad enough to bring some of my homework along...while everyone played spotlight I went into Neil's room (Liz's eldest brother who was in Germany) and did my Design & Innovation homework. I actually did a lot of work =D. When I was done, Liz came up to asked me to play "Gang Up" with them. Great timing too because I just finished my homework. We went out to the back and to Palmeston High (which was directly behind her house). David and I were it so we ran around the school looking for the others. I managed to tag Lani, Sara, Niamh and Liz...go me ^^. I wasn't as unfit as I thought too because they made me run around the school several times XD. Yay! I still have my stamina ^^. Dang Ross was the last one to get tagged...that boosted his ego for a while >=(. After our game of gang up, we dragged our tired bodies back to the house. We just listened to music, sang and talked to each other. Niamh's parents soon came to pick her up. This was probably the last time I was going to see her in months so I gave her a nice hug even though she hates hugs XD. Then we were bored again so we went back to the school and just hung around the basketball court. Erin and Brentley sat at the benches, Lani, David and I just layed down on the basketball court gazing at the sky above (there were a lot of storm clouds...hmm...it was really nice though =D). Liz and Sara were up in the trees talking and Ross was just switching from the basketball court to the trees...I could stay out laying on the basketball court looking up at the sky all night. It was so relaxing and beautiful ^^ but then it was about to rain so we hurried back to the house. Ross' parents then came to pick him up so...it was goodbye to Ross...
We sat in the lounge room and watched "Coupling", a British comedy. It was hilarious XD it was about desperate men and women who were good friends with each other discussing their love lives XD (or lack of). We watched the entire season, then Brentley & Erin went to sleep. Then we watched Monty Python (forgot which one) and it was absurd humour. I liked Coupling better though. By the time we finished watching it was 4am and by the time we got ready to sleep it was half past four. Everyone else was ready to sleep but I was too wide awake (as usual >_<). Liz slept in her own room, Brentley, Erin and Lani slept in Neil's and Sara and I slept in the entertainment room. I stayed up listening to my iPod all night and texted messaged Daniel from England back and forth (he started it XD). I also watched Sara sleep (well there wasn't much else to do, was there?) and she is such a peaceful sleeper. She just stayed in this position for about 4 hours...(lol! I really need to stop being an insomniac...). Ooh! I did sleep a bit...but I woke up at 5:15am and I thought: Hmm...that wasn't very long... -____-;; Lani woke up at around 10am and she was the one to take me home. Everyone else was still sleeping so we left without saying goodbye. Sara left too. We left at around 10:30am and I guess that was the end of the party =P. I was glad that there was no alcohol involved in the party. The initial plan of the party was to drink. If there was I wasn't going to drink anyway =D. Anyway...now I'm home and I haven't done anything (besides eat breakfast...). I hope I get to see my friends soon. I haven't laughed so much for a long time. I'm always laughing the loudest when I'm with my friends =D. I'm glad that we still manage to get together after we've graduated from high school :). I guess that's what true friends are for =D

Weather: Just stopped raining
Mood: I would have no idea

Mum and I went to Casuarina first thing this morning to buy easter eggs. I got easter eggs for my students and some for Liz's Easter party tomorrow. Poor mother strained her shoulder muscle yesterday so she couldn't work today. While I was shopping, Samatha messaged me saying how bored she was. *Sigh* I miss my Sammy Wammy :(
Later we walked around Casuarina aimlessly and all of a sudden, without any warning, I felt depressed. I had no idea why. I started being negative and mean towards my mother. I regret it now. I always regret it. It didn't help with the fact that my mother was in pain too...
Later we had lunch at McDonald's (we both had the healthy salads plus choice of Thai Chicken Baguette) and all of a sudden I was in a good mood again. I guess it was because there were so many young kids around who were all so adorable and there was this couple sitting near us who were kissing each other like there was no tomorrow XD. *Sigh* then depression hit me like a hammer again soon before we finished lunch and I felt like that for most of the rest of the day. When I was driving home I drove so bad because I was in such a bad mood. I'm a decent driver and I always drive well but I was so depressed, I went into second gear when I was supposed to go into fourth, and I stalled before moving off after I gave way too...I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me...
When we arrived home, the lawn needed to be mowed. I said I'd do it today because my mum's shoulder was in a lot of pain. Then she just took the lawnmower out and started mowing. I ran out and told her to stop and I'll do it. She yelled at me like I was some imbicile. I desperately told her to rest but that stubborn woman just wouldn't budge from the lawnmower. She's a workaholic. Feeling useless, I gave up and went into my room and played my music loudly. I felt so down I just screamed. Then I drew random patterns while listening to "Comforting Sounds" by Mew. It has very inspirational music. A very good song to doodle to.
All of a sudden it began to rain really heavily outside and mum was still outside mowing the lawn so I quickly ran to open the door for her and make it easier for her to get back inside. When I opened the door, she just screamed at me saying "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!". That stabbed me really deep, the moment she said that. I ran back into my room, locked myself in and cried of course. I was already unstable...I was prone to getting hurt...
I thought about dad again, wondering if he ever felt this way, hurt, by my mother and myself. Yes, he did walk out on us...but I stopped and thought, was it us that walked out on him? I wish I could tell him how much I love him, no matter how much he hates me...I wish he acknowledges my existence at least...I want my dad :(
During the evening, it started to pour down a lot again then Stephen suddenly showed up. He was soaking wet. He took shelter in our house and we made him some dinner. I never see Stephen much anymore ever since he dropped out of school last year. Stephen and I went through a lot last year, it was good to see him again. It was sad when the rain stopped. I had to say goodbye to him again. Once again I felt alone.
I went back into my room, I tried to do my homework but I was too miserable. Mum just stayed outside in the living room and watched late night movies. I talked to Augustine and sang for the entire night. Now I'm not sure if I'm happy or miserable. It's so hard to tell. Jun was online for a while :) but she disconnected and couldn't get back on. Now everyone's asleep and the only person I'm talking to is good ol' Erik *huggles Erik*. I know for once you're going to read this blog because I'm going to tell you to!! >:0 Dang straight! Yeah, just want to let you know, thanks for being the bouncy friend you are and making me happy when I am down *huggles*.
Well...that sums up my day...

Great...I'm back to my dark corner again in my mind, just sitting there, crying. I had trouble waking up from a dream. I was very involved in my dream but I can't remember a thing. I can't remember if it was a good or a bad dream but when I woke up, I felt like I was brought back from the dead.
My stupid tutor for Design & Innovation hasn't replied to my email yet regarding my progress presentation. I emailed her 2 nights ago. I thought they were supposed to check their emails like 2 times a day. Now I've been sitting in front of my computer for 2 days stumped on what I'm supposed to do, waiting for her to reply >_<. I hate university now. It's so pointless and sucking out so much of my life. I hate life more and more as the working days pass. My university is so crap...crap teachers...crap subjects...crap homework...and they wonder why they're the lowest ranking university in Australia, if not the world! I am so unmotivated to do any work right now... I was in no working mood so I drew instead. Since it's Easter, I drew a picture for deviantart ^_^. Overall I'm quite proud of it. It's my first digital drawing. I did the lineart by pencil then I did everything else on Paint.Net and Microsoft Paint. I wish I had photoshop though :(...by the way, I was listening to "Shespider" all day on repeat still. Anyway...nothing happened today which made me even more depressed. I missed a lot of people too. The loneliness today was torturous. At night I went to watch some TV for once. "Super Nanny" was on. It was rather good actually, seeing how the Nanny taught the parents how to raise their troublesome kids better. Then I cried. I missed my dad again. I felt so miserable. I just want him. I don't know why I miss him so much. I barely know him. Even though he doesn't take much notice of me I just couldn't help feeling his loneliness. I wanted to be with him, to keep him company. I didn't care if he didn't love me very much. I just wanted to be a part of his life and have him in mine...*sigh* he'll never know of my separation anxiety for him. No one notices...
You know...I guess it sounds a bit stupid to say "my heart is breaking" but this statement was created for a reason. There really is this stabbing pain in your chest as if your heart really is breaking.
I'm regretting my sources of happiness these last few days too...I didn't mention what it was (and I probably won't) in my blog specifically but it's really haunting my thoughts now and it won't go away. I wish it would because it's making my life so bloody complicated...I'm so stupid. I've made the same stupid mistakes again...
I wish this part of me would just go away...

Last night I spent the entire night on msn learning Swedish from Erik ^^. It's so much fun :D. I ended up learning 2 pages worth of Swedish that night ^^ (what was disturbing was I found out that kiss = urine in Swedish). Anyway...I just had a marvellous time last night with the Swedish lesson ^^ *huggles Ewik*.
Anyways...Samantha came over this morning at half past 8 in the morning...YAY! *Huggles her Sammy Wammy*. We talked on msn for a bit and had a video convo with Erik, then he went to bed, then Baggy (except Samantha was hiding from the camera the whole time). Then I pressed something and it looked like I disconnected from msn. Little did I know, Bag could still see us in the webcam. We watched 11 episodes of Naruto non-stop. Samantha loved it ^^ and I left the poor bugger in suspense...and we didn't realise that Baggy could still see us. STALKER! YOU'RE A STALKER (nah, he didn't realise we didn't know...). Goodness...it's creepy knowing that he could see us without us realising :S (don't worry Baggy, I trust you and it's not like you get to see us do bad things on my bed >_O).
Tchya! Samantha soon had to go *is sad*. I miss Sammy :(. I had a marvelous time having her around. WAH! T_T I miss Sam T_T.
Well...after that, I talked to Baggy on msn and discovered his stalker moment >_O then I got tired all of a sudden and slept for hours and hours...the best sleep I've had in aaaaaages ^^.
I had dinner at 9pm. Eggplant, vegies and rice...mmmmmm ^_^. Then I browsed through deviantart (89 new messages in one day?!? X_x), talking to Jasper, Liz, Erin, Daniel, and Joanna on msn and yeah...that pretty much wrapped up my day ^^.

The crab dinner at Jasper's place was lovely ^^ (although I didn't have any crab because that day there was a crab scuttling around my backyard...). After dinner I spent hours and hours in Jasper's room trying to figure out how to plug in his computer and burn DVDs...I was on the phone to Jasper for hours and hours asking him how to work his computer. It just wouldn't work and it was really frustrating and I was starting to get angry at everyone because I wasn't in such a good mood in the first place -.-
I was in there for 6 hours and all that effort was wasted. We didn't burn a thing. Now I had to go home and stay up til sunrise doing homework -.-
Ahh well...I was listening to "SheSpider" the whole time I was trying to work it lol.
Meh...well right now I'm out of that bad mood. The day wasn't too good though.
My design group were going to meet up at the University Library at 2pm except Brydie was going to leave at 3 and Ben was going to come at 3 (due to their working times). Then Ben messages me at like...10 o'clock in the morning saying "I don't have work today, we can meet at any time" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I messaged everyone else to meet up at the library at 12. At least we got the entire group this way. Well...we're almost finished but the group's still really unorganised, we haven't run through our oral (and today was like the only day we could practise it before our real thing) *stress stress stress* we are so screwed! X_x (Oh yeah...I was still listening to "SheSpider") XD
After our meeting which finished at 3, yet we didn't get anywhere really, I went home and slept until the evening (so tired from all this stress and frustration). I woke up and here I am being a computer bum again. No one's talking to me right now *cries* except for Ewik ^^...good ol' Ewik ^^. *Huggles Ewik*
Mihmimimimih! Sleep is so good. I should try not to be an insomniac. Then I wouldn't be so frustrated so often. I'm so relaxed and happy now after sleeping. ^^
I should probably get some homework done though...I have so much to do during this Easter break. MIDSEMESTER EXAMS! ARGH! X_x
Anyway...I'll avoid thinking about that for now. Samantha's coming over tomorrow morning (or so I hope) ^^ yay! I wuv my Sammy ^^

Yes, it's abnormal to listen to the same song on repeat non-stop since you first got it. I can't stop listening to it X_x. *Nods* yes, it's still "Shespider" by Mew. Found out that it was a protest song against the Danish Government and since I found that out I analysed it and loved the song even more. I'm not going to go into any detail about my analysis though.
I woke up at 8am (I slept...yay...), got online and just talked to Erik and Lisa. I setted off to the University's Library to meet up with my design group to make our progress presentation. Everyone turned up except for Ben which sucked because we couldn't do our presentation properly. He couldn't meet up with us tomorrow too so we're pretty much screwed because there aren't any other days we can do our presentation before our real thing on Thursday after school starts. Well...at least we got a lot of work done without him.
I came back, and had an interesting argument about music for Lisa, against Baggy. I felt bad after that though. Sorry Baggy! *Hugs Baggy*. It was an interesting argument though ^^.
You know...I think I've listened to this song like 300 times in a row...sad I know. I'm surprised that I'm loving it more each time I listen to it. I'm listening to it now as I'm writing this blog. Gargh! I hate myself for ruining the song but I cannot part with it.
Hours pass...still listening to the song...and I all of a sudden felt depressed again. I miss my dad. I love him so much and I hate him so much. I want him here with me. I want him to be part of my life. Yes I know I should be "happy with what I've got" but...
I'm so bad...I'm taking my depression out on my friends...I'm not talking to them much. I can't be bothered with anything either...this is a really bad habit of mine and I need to fix it instead of ignoring those who are trying to help me...
I'm going to have Crab dinner with Jasper's mum tonight. Jasper's mum and sister are moving to Timor soon. I hope it will be a good night. I'll probably be singing "Shespider" for the entire dinner though...I sang it in the shower...I'm going to miss them...life has changed so much this year. So many people are gone...
I'm so emo...that's not good. I can't move on with a lot of things...I'm completely fragile and bipolar. The smallest things can make me so happy...and the smallest things can make me so depressed too. Why do I have to be so sensitive? I'm so worn out with all my emotions. I just want to feel emotionless for one little while...
So many mistakes in my life...so hard to fix...I can't let go...I can't fall out of love...everything is just so dear for me...everything...
I'm so tired...
