Thanks to my dearest natalie for getting me these gifts from Hongkong! :) Aw the facemasks she bought are soooo pretty, almost too pretty to be used D: So pretty :3 

Ahhh I've only done my homework today =\ no extra study, damn. Did like 3 drills for umat only as well. I really really suck at section one. Dude, like 6/20 for one o_o so fail. But got 12/15 for section two which i finished like 5-6 minutes early :D 

Valentines day coming up :)

Mr. Badran is an amazing chem teacher, that is all. 

Hello guys :) 

Yay my awesome brunch , sesame milk & the best pineapple cakes in the world 8) 

I've survived the first few days of grade twelve apparently, so i'm able to sit here blogging haha. Okay anyways, yesterday chinese school started as well - -" and when I got there it turns out my class was collapsed for some reason and we had to move into the next available class - 10B, note that we were originally in 8A. So basically, I'm screwed for chinese school lol, we had to skip a whole friggen book ._. and yeah...LOL but at least I know 3/4 of the people in my class. One of my new classmates was trying to introduce himself to this other guy in my class and it was just a tad awkward LOL. 

Afterschool we went to collect fish & pineapple cake from two of our family friends ._. pretty random i know and then lunch and then we went to pillow talk to get a new duvet cover for me :D. There weren't that many good patterns but I didn't want to get those really girly pinky thingyos with flowers everywhere so I settled on this bird one which my mum says is too simple but whatever, its a change from my old one. Sorry guys that's about all that happens in my life these days :L 

Elaine bought her formal dress!!!!!! :D lol i was doing UMAT and the got bored and started drawing a dress and then somehow i started adding the shoulders and colouring it :L haha, yeah I'm lame like that 8) 

I am determined not to have that frustrated hopeless feeling like I had last year and so far I think I'm doing okay. Well at least I'm doing my homework properly and I've started the UMAT drills. I should aim to do more though, I don't think I do enough =\ 

Haha I suck most at section 1 ( logical thinking/statistics/problem solving) and I'm not that great at next-in-sequence ones either. Argh this is when I regret not being interested in a broad range of things like my brother. The only the I find better than the others is section two (reflective thinking, doctor-patient drills etc.). Just got 10/13 for one of the reflective drills. The problem is that's only like 77% accurate and I don't know if I should be happy or not. I don't know if I should have really high expectations and then possibly be disappointed by them later or if I should set 'realistic' but lower goals so I feel accomplished. Hmm, well I certainly don't want to screw up as bad as last year. 

Wow, I've been blogging for a long time 8D

2009 May – 2012 January

新年快樂!   

This year my parents gave me lucky money for the first time in my life~ It was only twenty dollars though D: but oh well I don't really mind, its the feeling of it!  

*sigh School starts tommorrow =\ Oh how I miss Japan, yes I'm still missing japan even I've returned for 3 months or so. I wonder how my friends there are doing, hopefully they haven't forgotten us. They all went to New zealand like last week though ( they are in the international class at their school so they have to go to New Zealand to live as a student for a whole year with no teachers ) ! 

Well anyways, bye for now :)

Hello guys, I haven't been doing much over the few days haha, yes as you can see one of the more eventful things I did was eating a coconut. That sounds so sad LOL but yeah, i found it fascinating, dad originally bought one to drink so I sat there and observed him drilling a hole inside the coconut using a knife. I actually thought the knife would snap haha but it didn't :o. Then we chopped the coconut in half to see what it looked like :D and had some, at like 11:00 at night, haha so unhealthy.

Also went to a Jap restaurant again for dinner :D We're eating out more often these days, probably cause my dad is earning some extra cash with him being a IT by day and a locksmith by night LOL. He always asks us what we want to eat and we end up choosing Japanese :) Should go try some new foods though, I've only tasted Taiwanese, Italian, Japanese, Korean and.... Australian? if that even exists LOL <--- by which I mean the whole steak&salad mum cooks like 4 days out of a week = =" Wow my posts are so random, I switch from one subject to another ;o

Was cleaning out my room today ( to get ready for school) and I found this little bird thingyo that my teacher gave me in grade four for easter. Ah, it's still so hard to accept I'm going to be in grade 12 this year, 17 YEARS OLD :O To be honest, I still feel like I'm fourteen or something like that. My days are going by so fast recently, I can't even remember what I do or what happens throughout the day but by the next day, I can't remember, I don't think this is a good sign lol. I have no sense that its a new year, I don't have any particular dreams I want to fulfill, in fact its all a bit of a blur. Sitting here hoping some random thing will motivate my will to do things carefully and properly again haha.

LOL i just checked my blog stats and it showed some search keywords that people put into search engines that eventually lead them to my blog. 

One of them was

'pedo jap'

& another was 

hahahaha elaine looks like you've got a stalker ;)

Oh man, life feels so dreary its not even funny. It basically consists of waking up at 8, going to Gym, coming back home, procastinating before going to the library to 'study'. Yet somehow I can't seem to get my mind to focus on what I'm supposed to be learning. In fact, i'm thinking about the petty problems in my life/ how I'm going to manage a ginormous amount of work when school starts. I'm so scared of grade twelve, not even kidding. I think everything from last year has drained away the small shreds of confidence I had left, I'm doubting before I've even started, not a good sign. Oh and i feel no motivation whatsoever to study, forgot what it feels like to study properly now, I'm always so distracted, or maybe discontent I should say. -sigh-

Anyways apart from that I finally went somewhere today, even if only for an hour or so. Eva& I decided to go have our much awaited 'fat day' after like gyming :D Went to Grill'd and max brenners, we split it for both cause we're cheap like that 8)

Felt so overloaded after that though, nevertheless, very yum :)  Gosh i'm going to turn into a even bigger blob. I hope something interesting happens soon i'm going to go crazy, literally. Feel isolated/bored / no life D: I'm one of the more fortunate to have a roof over my head/food/parents yet i'm sitting here complaining.

complain complain complain complain~ AHHHH. Okay. I can turn things around if I actually work hard, I need to start believing that. Okay penny, you can get an OP1 you can get an OP1 you can get an OP1, YOU CAN DO THIS. asdfaajf;oij never thought I lacked self confidence but they say you don't know that you do until something happens ._. So okay, here I am, I'm going to brainwash myself into thinking I can get an OP1. Haha sorry, I'm rambling again ~Perhaps i should blog more often, maybe it'll keep me sane.

Hm.. i really don't know why you seem to evoke such troubling thoughts in me, i need to learn how to restart with a clean slate when I'm trying to study. 

My blog seems to just be updating you guys on my life, maybe I should just talk about whatever I want you know? Okay i already am but whatever, I'm so hopelessly bored. Jen needs to come back to Australia soon i'm going to go crazyyyy D: Well anyways, laters people ~

Hello hello!

I just felt the sudden urge to blog, maybe cause I just finished reading other people's blogs and it made me realise how uh very unproductive my days have been, if that even makes sense.

I have nothing of interest to say haha, just to present you guys with a plate of veggies my mum told me to chop for lunch today ( wrap ) Yeah, not that random okay guys? What a sad life I have lol.

Hello guys just a few more photos from yesterday Thursday :)

Credits to Elaine & Richie for the photos!

Goodnight! x

nt: these pictures were taken with my new phone, pretty good right? :D feels so good to have a phone with the cam quality good enough 

Let me tell you about a little adventure I had yesterday. Actually, I wouldn't really call it an adventure, more like a brief time stuck inside a deserted building, don't laugh lol. Okay this is how it went, I was being forced to study in the library at QUT and being me, i went to the place where the highschool textbooks were located. As you know, this is a university library we're talking about here, so naturally there was no one in the highschool study section. 

There was no sound, no announcement, no one came to check up on me and thats how I ended up still in the library 45 minutes after it was meant to be closed. No lights went out, the computer screens were on, the air con was still on, everything was as per normal. It was normally completely silent where I study anyway so I didn't notice anything. After a while, i decided to leave and realised there was no one in the library at all, I was thinking I couldn't have been cursed to enough to be locked inside a library. I walk down to the emergency exit ( the entrance since the usual is under construction) and guess what? It's locked.

Okay don't laugh, but it was scary at that moment, imagine the silence, with only the sound of air con above your head. Imagine the sun disappearing into the horizon and not a soul in sight. Get the picture? Okay no lol, lame attempt at covering my failness but yeah, ended up calling dad who called security and my mum came as well. So embarassing, he had to come in and call my name and i was sorta trying to explain why i didn't leave the library except i didn't know what to say. So awkward  & the guy was all nice like, 'uhh.. um.. don't worry, It happens all the time'  OH MAN SIF T_T

greentea milk with froth my mum made for me :D 

Hello guys, I just realised that my last post was the 600th post I've written since I started this blog, can't imagine I had all that much to say haha. Basically a recap of events below :)
