14 posts from April 2008

A large majority of today has once again as precedented by many other days, not gone according to plan.

When does it, and now I can sit and wallow in my deepening wading pool of guilt.

I was supposed to finish my Economics and Ancient History notes today instead I only finished Eco & finished the first part of Ancient History.

Damn you school, giving us new information when I finished typing my notes ! -Shakes an indignant fist-

Well I've finished Pompeii, I think I have nothing I've left if I have I'll just study from the original source, 40 something pages for Pompeii is a bit overwhelming in my  opinion.

I baked again today, well at least I assisted in it, Arlen did most of the dirty (kneading) work, I simply melted butter, made topping and mixed some ..mixing.

But they tasted like a bomb, I ate like four which would explain my late BLOATING, Sweet Juices I'm 56 kg, that's gross. Do I sound like a generic teenager, most likely. 55 kg was already sufficient enough to nag at the back of my mind that I was definitely lacking in exercise or some other pre-emptive weight measures but 56kg is sad. 56 kg is also shallow if I compared myself to Biggest Loser standards, but I'm not here to be compared. We're talking about me, and how I feel. I don't feel confident and the Losers in the show do. I have mammoth bicycle thighs it's gross. I don't even ride a bicycle ^______^

Goodbye my lover.

And omg thingy won SYTYCD, I forgot his name already. Jack I think. I always knew it was between those two but I was still surprised that Jack won over Rhys. Sometimes, as cynical as it may seem I keep thinking Rhys didn't win as much just because his lines weren't as long as Jack's in that one dance. It's because he's a drag-dressing homosexual. I have nothing against it, I think it's pretty cool but let's face it, a portion of the Australian society are critically homophobic and base their discrimination on those terms. That portion of society would then be reflected in the SYTYCD crowd who would feel uncomfortable with Rhys winning.

It's kind of like that newspaper report about how Americans wouldn't vote for someone who wasn't Christian, or was it just religious.. I don't remember.

Strange. They're (Jack & Rhys) both uber cool to the maxibon though.

Oh man, half of Year 12 is gone. That's whack.

And this is what you get for being studious.

I woke up an hour early by accident, which would explain the rare (HA!) groggy feeling I had this morning. Man I got to the station and my iPod told me it was only 9am (holiday course didn't start 'til 10:30), how disgusting, waking up an hour early. So I made use of some time and studied. LMAO The board that usually tells you where the train stopped only showed a train tthat didn't stop at Strathfield. I then subsequently heard an announcement about trackwork between Parramatta and Strathfield, despite that because it didn't register I went to ask the guard when the next train to Strathfield was.

He gives me this "Are you mentally disadvantaged?" kind of look, I don't blame him the announcement did just tell me I had to change trains :P He tells me I had to get off at Parramatta and change trains. I was like TTOTT cos' that would mean I would be definitely late, however I didn't mind too much. I mean come on, distraught about being late for a test? I don't think so.

Surprisingly they had a direct express to Strathfield. So I took that one and on the bus studied some more.

Yay I learned the first half of precipitation rules before the test, i.e. the rules talking about cations. Hurray !

Wanna learn some Chem? Of course you do, you wouldn't be reading if you didn't :p

_____ + HCl --> White precipitate = Lead
_____ + H2SO4 --> White precipitate = Barium / Calcium

To distinguish between Barium & Calcium you can use the flame test, if the flame turns apple green it's Barium, if it's brick red it's Calcium :) OR ! If you can't access a fire yet surrounded by a chemical mine, use F- and if there's no precipitate it's Barium if there is then it's Calcium.

____ + NaOH --> Blue Precipitate = Copper
____ + NaOH --> White Precipitate = Fe 2+ / Fe 3+

Add SCN- to both and the one that turns the solution red is Fe 3+ and the one that doesnt is Fe 2 +

Am I a genius or am I a genius. I got that from the top of my head :)

I know a bit of the anions.

___ + HNO3 --> Bubbles = Carbonate
___ + Ba(NO3)2 --> White precipitate = Chloride / Sulfate
Or was it supposed to be Ba(NO3)2 = Pb(NO3)2 it's one or the other, and the other one would then be added to distinguish b/w chloride and sulfate

Lmao and one you add AgNO3 & another you use two (incl'ing H2SO4) to find a brown ring.

Hm :)

I don't want to blog anymore, jya ! :)

-edit -

OH ! LOL I posted this blog without fulfilling the purpose of starting this entry. I got to Discovery and guess what I found out, THERE WAS NO TEST . ZOMG : |

Lmao if there was guys, I would've been able to regurgitate the anion rules too - -'' Well properly at least :P

Love.

Today I devised a shopping list. It's not an immediate kind of shopping list which I'm going to breathe down my parents back for money about, it's more like a "anytime soon will be good" kind of list.

To Buy:

1.  A diary

I know, why? I have this blog, but I realised even if this blog is my very own, my words, my thoughts are distorted even in the most minute degree because of the few people who actually read this. I want to buy a diary, because all my past diaries were pushed upon me or just make shift kind of diaries, I'd love one I chose myself which I decided to be committed to. I mean if the extremely adorable, good looking, funny, intelligent Phillip Wang from wongfuproductions can do it for the past eight years, so can I. Lol 'cos I'm also extremely adorable, good looking, funny and intelligent. Well ! At least to a certain extent, or really maybe for some not at all.

I need something I can cherish, because I realised in a housefire hypothetical there's nothing I truly need other than my laptop only because it has my school notes on it, which would be dispensable after the HSC. I mean a diary I know would be something worth 3rd degree burns.

2. Somerset Maugham's Painted Veil

I want to read this novel it seems very interesting and it reminds me vaguely of The English Patient.

3. Watch Painted Veil

Okay I realise this can't actually be purchased (I mean come on I'm not paying when there's a streaming alternative), but this can deviate to a "To Do List" for the time being. I could've watched it today but I tend to enjoy movies more when I read the novel first. Like About A Boy :) You see more growth, otherwise if you were to watch the movie first and then read the book, you'd be surprised at the extra characterisation you don't see in the movies.

4. A floral skirt

This is a bit materialistic, but I want one. A perennial one that I could just wear with a singlet and not care if it was contradicting the latest trend 'cos I'd know I looked beautiful regardless. Lol the look was inspired by the character Claire in Elizabethtown, who dresses like an orgasm and is the coolest movie character ever :D

And that's all I've written down on my Australian Post "Things to do today..." list.

Lol Ka Ching could be onomatopoeia for an old school cash register or it could be an Asian name. He he

Sweet Jesus I have a Chemistry test tomorrow, damn I guess I shouldn't have been studying Economics. Oh well.

Feel sticky except nothings really coating my fingers with any sort of sticky substance so I don't know.

As per usual, I woke up 20 minutes prior to the departure of my train at Pendle Hill Station. So in a flurry and with much relief that I had pre-planned my outfit (see vanity is beneficial to more than just one's ego), I flew off to the station. Not literally.

Today we learned about AAS, speaking of which I have to go think about the last question 'cos it was a hardy :p It's pretty cool though :) So glad we don't have the white teacher guy anymore TT 3 TT

Sveet.

Afterwards Katrine, Burke, Nweni & I went off to the Korean restaurant, Ceci's to buy some Korean lunch :) I had fried dumplings cos I didn't feel like (nor could my tight budget afford) anything else. Yum :)

We then all headed off to her house. And what fun we had, from what 2-6 I finger- knitted 3 scarves. One for Nweni, Katrine and myself. We had previously headed off to Spotlight where we invested in overpriced wool -shakes fist at inflation-

Made Burke a spirit guard lmao from a short scarf i was finger-knitting but the yarn broke when I tried freeing up this knot I found.

It's brown (my one) : D Very nice

We then headed back to Strathfield to eat our complimentary pizza dinner at Discovery before we were driven off to N Strathfield's AMF :)

LMAO ! I didn't COME LAST ! Yeah! Second last for the win ! Lmao, I was 5 off from getting a 100 mark [ that is 95 ] :'( No thanks to Katrine the saboteur, she kept yelling "BEN" when I tried to roll my ball. Grah. All because I horsed her like ONCE, and now my derrière is aching me like OMFG because she decided to horse me back uber painfully. On a happier note I scored a couple of spares and a STRIKE ! Woot :D

Oh I won a movie ticket 'cos our team got the highest average even though in the first game the effeminate, skinnies-wearing Korean guy kept getting gutters *-) but he turned out to be a champ getting like a gazillion strikes in the game that counts lmfao. :) Man 95, damn you Katrine Huynh !

So my buttocks really hurt. And I really like those sweet potato things they have in Korean restaurants

Hip hip hooray for an entire study day gone. God, I am so ashamed of myself.

Which is why I'll go write some more notes - -" Sorry almighty Economics god.

Remember how I wanted to contact the giant chain book stores about plastic bags. For some reason, just before I clicked my hovering mouse, I hesitated. Fear rose up and paralysed me completely and I ended up here, talking about my lack of a back bone. Why didn't I send it? :O Probably apprehension of the response I would get. I'll post it here and maybe someone would send it for me : D

___________

I was wondering if it was possible to provide paper bags as an environmental substitute to plastic bags. This would be helpful to the physically uncoordinated who frequently drop their newly purchased books and yet in the meantime are adamant about saving the planet.

In other news check out this book

Like trust them to name the oblivious dinosaur EDWINA. Like there are no parallels that can be drawn from this ignorant specie to the next blogging species called Edwina the human.

How embarrassing yet it would be such a typical thing  coming from me. To not know of my own extinction, you'd think it would've been given away like due to the LACK OF OTHER DINOSAURS :O

Conversation for you to take note of -

Burke: I have a lighter but it's empty. Where can I get fuel?

Edwina: .. The petrol station?

Everyone thought it was hilarious but really I only realised they used like hydrocarbons that weren't linked to petrol just then on this cute website called 50 ways to help.

Lol suggestion No.17 puts forward that to save water and add some zest to a relationship that you should take showers with your partner. Lmfao.

Will do- If I don't walk down the seemingly inevitable and inextricable road of 40 Year Old Virginism

Oooh 40 Year Old Virginism, doesn't that send a tarantula down your back?

I feel pretty good :)

Pretty green.

I think I'm going to go send Borders an email about using paper bags, I'm kind of sick of carrying my books by hand and crumpling them as a result thanks to my lack of TLC.

Ciao !

The way to get a message through to parent/caretaker is to discreetly place it in front of them so they can trip over it, never deliver the blow yourself.

Whenever I wanted clothes I'd ask mum if she'd buy them for me, however now in retrospect I realised that it never really has been very successful. Today my parents and I were talking and dad asked whether we should buy ourselves those big screened tv's and I reprimanded him for thinking such materialistic thoughts when the tv we have now works perfectly fine. Dad then goes and asks why I buy clothes if the clothes I have now is fine, before I could think of a comeback (and mind you there was plenty of time, comebacks dont come easy anymore), mum told him I haven't been buying clothes considering I've been recycling the whole family's, literally.

So maybe that's why today when I was showing mum a few items or so she was so eager to buy them for me however, rest assured I didn't tempt myself today. I did however, buy myself this awesome hat. Hang on I'll upload a picture and share the love with you.

Before I forget, even though I graciously managed to do so for the past -counts on fingers- six months, I thought I should do it now. I would've done it ages ago but oh well, so here goes nothing to sending an SOS message in a bottle hoping my MUM would get it.

Thank You, to the woman who bought me a bottle of water the day I collapsed. I know you won't be reading this, but it was so kind of you and I didn't even think of thanking you whilst I devoured the water like a maniac. There's not many people like you left and I'm glad you were there when it happened. Thanks.

Then again, she's not the only good-doer, to the security guards who kept coming back every ten minutes to ask if I was okay, thanks. To the guard who smelt like toothpaste and called the ambulance, thanks. I'm no code blue : O Nor am I a "lady who lost consciousness", I'm 1. too young to be a lady and 2. nor do my actions and behaviour constitute such an unworthy label. Lol me a lady, -guffaw-

And thank you Helen, you're always there in these crucial points in time. Okay maybe not the first time I collapsed but that wasn't all that important anyhow. Thank you for being so patient and not going home like I suggested and thank you to you and your family who decided against my suggestion to drive me home instead. I mean knowing me something could have well happened if I caught the train home, so many countless possibilities. So Helen, it means alot.

All this thanking, it makes me feel so silly lol !

Gah .

I hate chinese values. This weird stigma that's attached with GIRLS.

Okay so I was supposed to go sleep over at my childhood friend Arlen's place right? And they always do this to me, they dont reply but THE NIGHT BEFORE they spring it on me that I'm not allowed.

Edwards been on more god-forsaken sleepovers than I have in my entire life and I'm like a 1/3 older than him hence 4/3 times more MATURE than he is. Like sweet juices, why can't I go?

"You're a girl, of course you can't go" LIKE WHY!? There wasn't even a legitimate reason why I can't, it's just 'cos it's the right thing to do.

Are girls some sort of nuisance to households? Is this the "Oh....it's a girl" thing like back in the archaic days? Like zomg, my parents well DAD specifically probably thinks he's passing on he's second-rate child onto another family and troubling them for two nights.

I DON'T WET THE BED LIKE EDWARD STILL DOES NOR DO I CRY WHEN I GET PWN'D HARD IN GAMES AND THROW A HISSY FIT.

I asked Dad what the difference of me going to a sleepover and Edward going to a sleepover was and he stared at me blankly and he asked me what I thought the difference was. I could tell he couldn't find a legitimate reason. I told him there was no difference hence why I should be allowed to go. He then called me impertinent, stubborn and disobedient.

Sweet juices, suddenly questioning redundant values is incorrect and practically going against parents. I've been cursed with being born on a brink, with parents who stilll withhold their parent's values (that is boys > girls) whilst being only a hair's width away from achieving true equal treatment of girls and boys. And that's why it hurts even more, the fact that I could be recognised as an equal to my brother so easily yet I'm still denied the right cuts me.

It's more than simply being unable to go to a sleepover, it's this uneven treatment between my brother and I, or more generally a boy vs a girl.

Other culture's let girls go on sleepover parties, and note how you don't see an Asian girl in the "Sleepover Club", it's because the Asian girls weren't allowed.

Reposted from : Ronnknee's.

 met Katrine at Lidcombe Station where we mused on the spate of freshies. Sweet juices, it's an infestation ! Who you gonna call? Fob Busters! Lmao. Anyways on the train Katrine kindly lent me her DS so I could play the all time best game - Cake Mania. I now like it not only because it's uber awesome but the girl reminds me of me rushing about at the chinese takeaway. In return I offered Katrine Emma to pass her time which she did for around two minutes. That's okay, it's a universally known truth that Pride and Prejudice pwns Emma x infinity.

So at Kino we spent around half an hour in the gifts section, after 10 minutes everything began to look like a blur, it was all god forsaken PINK. Just to let you know there was the Cat Fish pencil case but there was also this amazingly adorable and exceedingly expensive keyring also with a cat & a fish. So we went next door to Ichiban Boshi. Okay so Katrine's rice might have sucked but I can dare to say that my noodles were indeed enjoyed by all. LOL at the aggravated Caucasian who works there who calls out numbers like women at YumCha. She spoke Japanese it was pretty cool. Had an Iced Chocolate, holy smacks $3.30 for water and chocolate powder I was more than able to make myself. -Palms self on the face- And okay, I did steal that cardholder but it was beaaauutiful, it was made simply made of a block of wood with a slit in it and that was it, aweeesome neee!

& You say go slow, I fall behind. The drum beats out of time. If you're lost, you can look and you'll find me, time after time. Love Blondie, but love covers even more.

So afterwards we marched in the rain to Market City. On the way we stopped at various stores in search of a vesty sort of garment for Katrine where we finally found one at Temt. And here's the real conversation which literally stops people in their tracks :

E: You would stop at nothing to get what you wanted.
K: Excuse me! I would stop!
- Conceited fellow turns -

At Capitals, I don't know I was on the look out for David Henry. LOL I think about him ALOT, like no joke. I don't know it's this insatiable curiosity to see how he's doing since primary school and the curiosity is further incensed when I find out he's FIRST in English. That's quite the feat to accomplish, English, Girraween High School : O A/N : It's not a creepy school girl crush obsession though, sad to say : P

So we took our photos, and we established : We no longer enjoy decorating LMAO. That's pretty good as it's time efficient.

Walked our way to Market City where Katrine laughed at a man taking a LITTLE let me emphasise LITTLE stumble before she stepped in a puddle. Lmao : ) Anyways we dipped into Morning Glory at Market City with their irate shop attendants who refuse to let customers test out goods before they try them. LMAO I mean I understand that policy doesn't exactly apply in supermarkets, but I wouldn't want to buy a faulty umbrella especially when it's pissing down real hard outside.

We visited the Gift Shop where Katrine purchased her 9.95 umbrella. She's a shopsmart person in contrast to me who mindlessly forgets to check her clothes before she purchases them resulting in me having to return to a store to refund a shirt with a hole in it. We went next door to Blue Ice, and I was NOT scared = =" Just puzzled but most importantly lazy. I would've went later but Katrine agreed to get it for me She needs more communication with fobs which she has told me she aptly avoids when in close proximity with them. I HATE TOFU. I can't stand it, sorry Katrine ! They are absolutely tasteless, it's like.. what.. water flavoured jelly would taste like !

Afterwards we walked around Galaxy World where I swear I saw the same driving game driver as I did last time I went to city, which was like.. I don't remember <-- Good sign.

Okay so yes there was a game. I would be on the look out for people eyeing Katrine whilst she would do the same for me. She cheated though, she obscured her face with her "fob" hoodie and steered me away from fobs - a large contributor to the already large proportion of admirers. However I won, mind you. Katrine used people she knew to win like Wayne & Oliver, gah -? Besides she only got "10/10" I got 1111/10 -beams with pride-

So anyways I left Katrine with the two babysitters who did a shit job because I learnt she ended up bruised all over, like sweet juices wtf? I made my way on the platform to find that I've mysteriously missed my train even though I had 8 minutes to climb up the stairs to catch the it = = " So for twenty minutes I stood idly, unwilling to read Emma. I walked around briskly when an upbeat song came on and a Cityrail man clad in fluoro orange stopped me and asked where I was going. I replied "Pendle Hill" and he told me it was the next train, I couldn't be bothered reassuring that I knew that so I merely thanked him and he told me to "Take Care". Like whaaaa? What was the look of innocence, vulnerability and ignorance plastered on my face? :| Yeesh. So I got on a train and lol I saw an awesomely good looking guy too like Katrine but from the front so the authenticity of his superior aesthetics were assured. Lol I stopped myself from what could've been a train trip consisting purely of a staring contest so I went upstairs, whilst he was down. I sat in the middle of a three seater, cross legged and started reading. I was interrupted twice, first time by a rank kind of couple asking me if I could move so I offered to leave the entire three seater to them but they walked away. Second time round an old man made the gesture of moving in with me but I didn't really feel like compromising my state of solidarity (shut did I use the right word? (: ) so I got up and moved away. I hence moved to the next carriage leaving the awesomely good looking person behind.

But that's okay ! 'Cos at Strathfield (funny before I typed Strathfield I typed Katrine by mistake) a group of even more good-looking Asians got on the train. I couldn't be bothered to look at them though, too too many of them, so instead I stood and read the whole time. So the train ride was pretty decent one must confess. When nearing Pendle Hill I travelled back to my old carriage so I'd have less to walk when I got off. Surprisingly, the Asian model guy was still on the train, they usually get off before Pendle Hill you see So I took a look at him and dashed off the train. Lol walking towards the stairs I ESPN'd him to look out the window, prepare the stake because my witchly powers were uber and he looked out the window and I dreamily gazed at his amazingly easy-to-stare-at face before sprinting up the stairs because I was late for work. Sigh- Well he knows I live somewhere in Pendle Hill so meh, he's more than welcome to come look for me LMFAO. Okay sorry, it's 12:29 and the usually buried dreamy Edwina emerges at this kind of hour. Man I should so stoop to a new low and make RomComs ("If this is a RomCom, kill the director" - The Wombats, <-- This is a pretty awesome song, just like that guy was awesome except .. looks-wise). He looked like Mr. Philliieeee from Discovery except insanely more good-looking. Walking back home in shorts wasn't bad, quite honestly I was preoccupied thinking about the guy on the train. Sweet juices two paragraphs just for eye contact, well done you shallow boar - -"

At home, I called Mama to pick me up. LOL I love the period of transition from primary school and highschool. Edward and his god-brother Anthony were bestfriends in primary school and currently still are during the beginning of highschool and the most CUUUTE thing is that they have matching clothes lmfao. I love that innocence you don't get anymore, this is exhibited where Katrine and I no longer pre-meditate our outfits though sometimes we suprise each other by turning up wearing the same thing.
私の心のためにあたらしい人をさがそうと思う。あなたはいい人が私はあなたに待つことはほしくないよ。
Lol on Tuesday I'm going to my childhood friend, Arlen's house for a sleepover. I think my mum would've emasculated the guy if it was anybody else but we've known each other since Kindergarten. Lol we're having a Higurashi marathon I'm going to be a very different person after that. We're also baking Japanese bread lmao !

私のきれいな鳥　：おやすみなさい!
