Pages of a novel

So, a year has passed. 2011. Hmm... it seems to have passed by quite quickly despite it not being quite so pleasant. I could say that this year hasn't been my academic year but yeah, what can I say? All I hope is that next year, things will go well. Thankyou to those who made my year so memorable and enjoyable :) I will never forget!

Must say that the highlight of the year was the school Japan trip, it was amazing. So, next year will be my final year of schooling, sounds scary but its true. I will be seventeen, I will graduate, I will get a job, learn to drive, I will become an adult. That all sounds so scary, I never imagined I'd make it, I didn't imagine I would be like this. When i was young, I always expected I would look tall and mature when I was in grade 12, I'd expected myself to be in control of everything, guess thats not true eh? Haha, Well, this is my last chance, my last year. I'm going to do well, I have to. So goodluck to all of my fellow classmates who are also coming with me into the year of 2012. I hope that all goes well :) 

Happy new year to you all!

Hello guys :)

I've spent the past two days holidaying with sunny & bill's family :D Basically our parents decided to drag us all out to coolangatta for a swim except the moms were too scared of getting dark so they didn't go in the water with us and went shopping instead lol. It was basically only the kids and both sunny&my dad that went into the ocean. Us kids ended up digging a gigantic hole in the sand after a while, yes we had nothing better to do. But i gotta say, made me remember my childhood, happily going anywhere and finding amusement on something so simple, nothing to worry about.

 Bought 80 pieces of sushi & a bucket of KFC which everyone shared for lunch, surprisingly we actually finished it all o_o afterwards drove to a park and went to play in the playground with bill & sunny while our brothers slept/chilled in the car LOL. Then the kids cooked dinner 8) Oh , mum bought me a pair of sandle shoe thingyos while  I was swimming before , $20 only 8) so asian, feels weird wearing them though.

Us kids played cards till 11:30pm in the motel room before sleeping. Went mountain climbing the next day which was tiring. It was technically a 4hour walk but we gave up two thirds of the way LOL only my dad made it to the top. Funny as, sunny's dad called my dad to ask if he was at the top yet and my dad said nearly. Then sunny's dad was like

'oh yeah, i'm right behind you 8)' 

In fact, he was with us LOL and after my dad realised, sunny's dad was like 'oh but i need to protect them!'  
FAIL LOLOLOLOL

You're asking what happened to the rest of the adults? well the women basically gave up one third of the way and bills dad was telling bill he had to get to the top and then so we kept climbing. Twenty minutes later bill gets a phone call from his dad who says 'i can't do it anymore, too tired. I'm going down now'
  haha us kids were like :L Went back to beach later again, had lunch, messed around. I saw these two dogs that reminded me so much of sugar :D so cuteee!

Had korean BBQ with bill's family for dinner, they ripped us off man, the people gave us barely any meat, only fat - -" sunny had to go home ): Oh well. It was a good trip though, haven't actually gone to the beach in ages! Rather be anywhere than at home to be honest though.

Goodnight!

Happy Christmas eve to you all ! :)   (lol if that even makes sense)

Woke up at around 9 today and had free reign of the computer cause dad was out :D found out the books i wanted to read were available for download online, i feel so ripped off now, buying all those books. Oh well, i guess its my contribution to liquidation throughout the universe -coughcough-

I'm starting to think whether or not i should've been born a guy o_o i realised the other day that i'm actually not that fond of clothes shopping, in fact the only times i enjoy shopping for myself is when i'm looking at stationery or books. I often get bored and tired of clothes shopping cause i'm not interested and i end up wearing second hand articles of clothing more often than the ones i buy ;o which totally defeats the purpose haha. I like shopping for people's birthday presents though, as weird as that may sound, i find it easier to buy someone else's item than my own, probably cause i have no idea what i want but yeah. Oh and i also have a really bad temper :s 

Today sunny's family invited our family over for a christmas dinner, i was so fun. NOT. you know why? cause we didn't end up going D: dad claimed i just wanted to see sunny and didn't consider others - -" pft no , i just wanted to celebrate christmas unlike the past few years. My mum told us to go without her cause she was a bit sick but yeah dad started chucking a spazz, turned out it was cause he didn't want to go. Wish my parents had christmas spirit - -" my dad was like 'you can make anyday special if you like, especially if you study' somebody tell my father is crazy o_o he better not make me study today or tommorrow or i'll be like >:) 
Had to cook dinner all by myself cause mum was sick, sucks the only female offspring D: haha simple food 8) oh well their fault for not helping. Dad just took mum to hospital,dw she's not dying or anything, just after some antibiotics since in Australia medical centres decide not to open on Christmas eve. Anyways, goodnight fellow children, i'm off to watch a movie again. :)

I feel at a loss to be honest. Being forced to study, I'm sick of hearing about studying. Have you studied today yet? How many hours have you studied? Did you focus when you studied today? Come back home early so you can study. Go to the library to study. What did you study today? Stop desiring and start studying. I'm so sick of hearing the word 'Study'. 

I feel so pressured to study on the holidays and of course I understand the need for it but I hate being reminded all the time and having that heavy weight at the back of my mind every time I try to enjoy my leisure time. Its holidays, give me a break, its not as if I'm not planning to study at all. Every single time I try to relax, I feel guilty. Is it wrong to be able to relax without having these feelings? What I hate most though is you're right, I'm not enjoying my study, I'm not focusing, I'm not doing enough, its just I don't care to admit it to myself. In fact, I'd rather live in a world of oblivion, numb to the little thoughts that plague my mind. I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, hoping that others' comforts will fill the emptiness. 

To be honest, I know. Your words remind me of just how little I'm doing to improve my situation and I hate that. The little cowardly part of me that is unwilling to face reality. I have no idea how to get a grip, to get back what used to be mine. The confidence in exams, the carefree feeling while waiting for my report cards and results. Perhaps its seeing others getting the ideal results without working half as hard as I did before, maybe that's what happened. But all this is just excuses now, I've grown so used to hiding in my own excuses its pathetic. I'm content listening to the words of comfort offered by others and shrouding myself away from the realities of life. I have no idea what I'm doing, I have no idea what I want to do in the future anymore. I have no desire to do anything in particular, not even things I used to enjoy and it scares me just a little bit. 

Nothing really fills the void; the internet, reading, watching TV, going out. All of it is just a temporary replacement to what seems to be missing. I feel cut off from the world yet this sacrifice is not beneficial to me both physical and intellectually. How pathetic. I'm sick of being ashamed, sick of wanting to hide the results, sick of having the hopeless feeling before exams. I honestly don't know what happened to me, perhaps its that I look back on the past too often and rely on the old memories to give myself a boost. But, it no longer works anymore. Its so easy to wallow in self pity, waiting for a day when miraculously I will be hit with a wave of motivation, motivation to work hard, motivation to be a person I want to be. 

Everything you say forces me to face the real situation, that I'm no longer who I used to be, that I'm not moving forward while others are, that I can't just keep waiting forever. I've come to realize that what you say is true. Without hard work, I'll be nothing, without the intellectual ability I'll only end up as a good-for-nothing and pathetic person that relies on someone else. Its not beauty, charm, talent that will get me through the rest of my life.The only possible asset is the academic results I could achieve by hard work.

People who once looked at me as a equal now look down on me, its shameful really. I don't want to be one of those that people look down upon yet nothing I am doing is preventing it. Yes, the truth is, I don't want to face myself, face the reality, banish the pride that always gets in the way between you and me and I'm sorry for that. However pathetic it sounds, I do feel a measurable amount of guilt. Yes, that word again. Guilt. Perhaps its time to motivate myself with something more, I don't know, but something needs to be done fast. 

I know its probably a bit late to say this, but sorry for the mass load of self pity I just dumped on the unfortunate souls who just read this, its nothing really. Just a load of complaints yet again. Argh i really need to stop doing that. asdfawefasdf not good penny. Publicizing my complaints at life.

 I went to a church christmas party yesterday, we were one hour and a half late, so embarrassing D: my mum thinks its normal to be late to parties and that you can come anytime between starting and finishing times ;o and she got lost even though we had a GPS LOL


 isn't that awesome? ^

 So, on monday I went iceskating with Jennifer, elaine, becky, albert, kaido, richie, daniel and terry. Took the bus there for the first time and we had no idea where to get off so I had to go ask the bus driver cause no one else could be bothered LOL we were like the only people on the bus except this other chick. Spent majority of the time playing tiggy and then saw sandra/phuong/sarah etc.
 It felt so good to be out of the house lol, haven't iceskated in like years but yeah, it was so fun! Felt free for the first time in a while haha + i also go some exercise rather than just sitting home and watching TV. Woke up the next day feeling super sore though LOL my whole body was aching and i almost couldn't get up, not even kidding lol.


 A few of us bussed back and then went to the cafe near SLQ where richie, albert & jennifer bought some coffee/hot chocolate before we went to maccas so jen/kaido/albert could buy some food to eat haha. Then of course we went with richie so he could do some formal shopping hahahaha well, more like window shopping but whatever. He liked this suit and was planning to buy it next week BUT he spent the 300 dollars pay he got on tuesday on his camera flash gun LOL so much for saving up but yeah, i just laughed at him :L

Been meeting up with jen to have lunch randomly LOL, richie came yesterday too and we chilled at a cafe. Realised i haven't been to many places to eat haha, i'll make that my goal then i suppose and go broke eating lunch. Kay i haven't been blogging frequently, starting to sound like a bit of a retard haha i think my brain has stopped working over the holdiays.

My mum came back from taiwan yesterday and she brought back a few gifts 8) hohoho

My new shoes :DDDDD  which make my giant feet look relatively normal now :) lol so depressing how my mum's shoes are like size 5.5 and i'm like a size 7.5 ;o lol. 

New earrings

Clothes/stationery/hairties

Elaine came home with me after we met up in the city while we were shopping and looking at perfume for a few reasons. I did something pretty stupid ;o was examining this perfume bottle cause it looked weird and i tried to work out how to spray it and i was looking directly at the nozzle and it went straight into my eyes - -" elaine laughed for ages. 

I went to ablaze service ( church) with elaine later and Jayesslee came from sydney to be special guests :D i had no idea who they were til yesterday but yeah, they're actually prety famous youtube stars, really amazing at singing ;D it was really awesome.  

Well thats all for now, i can't be bothered blogging anymore haha, maybe later

Hello guys :) I realised that i've neglected my blog for almost one whole month :O well just didn't feel like blogging i suppose though i kind of realised that i need to at least get up and do something. So far my holidays have consisted of watching TV, eating & gym, haha great combination i know. Except i don't think going to the gym is having any effect since i'm practically eating it all back out of boredom, such a great plan for formal - -" So far in the holidays i've managed to get through:

gossip girl season 2
Buzzer beat (drama w/ 11eps)
Green lantern
Captain America
Crazy stupid love
Mao's last dancer
Charlie's chocolate factory
Aladdin ---> LOLOL yes i'm still a kid 
Bad teacher
Atashinchi no danshi ( drama w/ 11eps)

And thats all i remember so far but yeah, i need to stop being a couch potato and get out, i'm going crazy literally. I think i'm starting to be less addicted to the computer which is a good thing but i haven't started studying yet. Sound like such a nerd but like literally, i'll be so screwed for next year if i don't cause i'm not naturally smart, if anything i'm pretty slow lol. Also, I haven't yet applied for umat. Yeah just to make it seem like i have a life, i decided to post the photos of dinner at a japanese restaurant right before my mum decided to abandon me at home with my brother & father which sucks so bad lol.




Sadly my expectations of japanese food have increased now that i've been to japan and the food wasn't as great but still good i suppose haha, i'm critical of food now, well more so than before.I ordered all the food i tried in japan, i'm so proud of myself, i actually ate ikura ( salmon roe) & i normally hate seafood but i decided to give it a go after jennifer convinced me it was very yummy haha, but i still like the ones in japan more, they're much nicer. 

Oh and i went to watch Breaking dawn with Jennifer, it was a free screening with popcorn, lollies and drinks 8) it was pretty good :D and i tried out this hairstyle my host sister did for her school performance. I still miss japan so much, don't think i'll ever forget how fun it was.  

 
LOL guess i failed at copying the hairstyle, i'm bald.

So my mum went back to taiwan and left us so me & my brother have to cook dinner/wash dishes/clean the house/hang the clothes T_T so gay. In fact i'm the so called 'girl' in the family so i'm supposed to do all of these things & my dad says we are mistreating him with the food we're giving him ( well just jokingly) but yeah personally i think the effort we put in is acceptable.

There are carbohydrates, protein blah blah so I think its fine but whatevs lol my dad is just picky. Holidays are boring so far but its nice to not have to hardkore study for exams and all, i find i tend to binge eat during exam times probably due to the stress haha.Well yeah basically i cooked these two dishes for vegetables, nevermind the fact i invented the one below LOOOOL.
Gay dad wants me to study on the holidays ao;windf;alksdnf;oaiwenf;oaisdnf;oaiwenf;oaidsf like now argh, life sucks so bad.Gonna fail level N3 proficiency test on sunday haha great.

Birthday Girl :)

After the chem blocks on wednesday elaine accompanied me to my house and we watched water for elephants before leaving my house and going over to her house for the night :D We were baking savoury cupcakes for elaine's bday party and then elaine hands me a carrot and says
'go do something with it' 
Being the wrong kids we obviously thought wrong but ANYWAYS slept at about 2am and then woke up next day, got ready and went to roma st park.


There was some mist near the place where we were going for a BBQ so i took photos of cindy and them playing around ahahaha 8) we also peer pressured kaido to get elaine a cake since the person who was meant to bring elaine's cake was sick and couldn't make it.

Cindy's very um seductive pose & elaine+richie ;)


We played the three legged race where everyone had their names drawn out and so we had our feet tied together before racing like maniacs across the park LOL me & wongoo made it without breaking the string cause we're just too awesome.
Jennifer and her ballon LOL , oh and our pro cooking skills hahahaha





LOL um yeah haha, we also played stuck in the mud //cops&robbers LOL haven't run around in ages & woke up feeling very sore this morning hahaha. But was fun was fun :D
