Pages of a novel

In a few hours or so, I'll be starting my first day at uni. I can't believe it. I kind of spent a while just feeling sad my holidays are over - not because I can't relax anymore but more because of the fact that it marks the end of my life as a highschool student. Well that kind of ended back in November but starting uni has really just reinforced the fact in my mind. I'm already starting to feel as though I'm no longer a teenager, I can't naively doing things and just hope someone will be there to patch me up if things go wrong. I guess we'll all have to make a lot more effort to maintain our friendships, I hope I don't lose too many friends this year :\ though I can kind of feel that happening already too - well at least we're not as close as we used to be. 

I'd like to say I'm looking forward to uni but I'm honestly not, from what I've heard and from what I've seen it seems like there is so much more content to learn and the lecturers/teachers don't remind you about assessments at all. Everything is your own responsibility. Arghhh. I miss high school life :'). I've kept myself busy the whole day, just to avoid thinking about the huge amount of things I have yet to so before uni starts in a few hours. Yay. I still haven't gotten around to fixing my body clock. I think grade 12 has me used to sleeping at like 1:30am earliest. Well hopefully my life as a university student starts off without a hitch, I really need to get all my crap together. 

Hmm on another note, it was my mum's birthday 3 days ago. I took it on myself to get my mother flowers since my dad isn't into the whole celebrating thing. Quite sad really, he doesn't believe in celebrating anything o-o and he doesn't ever do surprises or gifts. We convinced him to take us all out to dinner though ;) ate at this place called cucina by toscani's near Southbank cinemas. First time I had dinner at a western place!! The food was so expensive though... for alright food. The atmosphere felt too grown up/high class. Hah, guess I'm used to eating at bogan places 8D aka Maccas. 
 Chicken with spinach, potato fondant?? and some other random stuff
 Wagyu steak with wedges and mushroom sauce 
Pizza with potato, rosamary, garlic and mozzarella

Yeahhhh... they all had these super long names so I kind of forgot what was inside lmao. They tasted ordinary though << and it took them forever to bring the food. Oh well. I should sleep now. Goodnight!!

Hello guys! Yes I'm looking very dope lately :P Been busy pretty much every day with uni events/ people's birthdays and just outings in general. I've been attending orientation and all, which is obvious since ya know, the free QUT shirt I'm wearing and all. So many freebies at orientation, cept all these people kept trying to get us to join their clubs :o There was lots of cheap food though, like my $2 sandwiches 8D State High tuckshop rip their students off so badly compared to QUT :\ 
Luckily state high has so many students that I still ended up knowing a few people in my course :D Vicky & Tam are studying medical imaging with me, yay! After our lunch we went to grab free snowcones :) 
 Afterwards I met up with elaine and others before they headed to karaoke. Then nat came and she brought a Jap friend she met just last week, her name is Aya :D We went to karaoke, managed to belt out a few jap songs but sadly I can't read the lyrics fast enough. My jap is dying so badly these days. It was a good day though, glad I made a new friend. I swear the owners of karaoke recognise me now cause I come so often (:" They saw me and were like -knowing look-and then a minute later a guy pops in and gives us to bottles of free water. 
 Yeah it was dark, no decent pictures ): Anyway, on another note I tried baking macarons last night and they turned out looking retarded, turns out the recipe was kind of dodge I think so Jen came over to my house today with her own recipe book. We made popcorn macarons with buttercream filling. They look kind of ugly in the picture but I think some of them turned out better hahaha. Still, first time making italian macarons!! I wanna open a dessert shop with jenwen one day ;) 
 Want some anyone? ;) Are you jelly W? Still, cheese > food. Ahem, anyway a couple of days ago my mum broke my one and only pair of wedges ): so I went to buy another pair. Don't like them as much though, they kind of hurt my feet  (which I discovered yesterday). Well I guess most shoes tend to since my feet are retarded. Omg I'll never grow tall, have to resort to cheating ;_; Okay I sound retarded. Good night everyone!! Watching beautiful creatures with jen tomorrow weeee. Don't want uni to start yet, holidays are the bomb!

想用一杯Latte把你灌醉
好讓你能多愛我一點
暗戀的滋味你不懂這種感覺
早有人陪的你永遠不會

看見你和他在我面前
證明我的愛只是愚昧
你不懂我的 那些憔悴
是你永遠不曾過的體會

為你付出那種傷心你永遠不了解
我又何苦勉強自己愛上你的一切
你又狠狠逼退 我的防備
靜靜關上門來默數我的淚

明知道讓你離開他的世界不可能會
我還傻傻等到奇蹟出現的那一天
直到那一天 你會發現
真正愛你的人獨自守著傷悲

曾經我以為我自己會後悔
不想愛得太多痴心絕對
為你落第一滴淚
為你作任何改變
也喚不回你對我的堅決

 First of all, happy 18th birthday yee sum!! Thanks for hosting such an awesome BBQ/pool party :) I would post a really pictures of yee sum right here but they're all on elaine's camera :P I was stalking her around today with a camera thats why ;)  

 The weather was so good for swimming, I didn't bother to wear sunscreen though so now my face is severely sunburnt and i have a shirt tan. Oh well. We spent the day kind of creeping daniel out with our weirdness. 
Daniel started splashing anyone he thought was weird :\ what a mean kid. Haha just kidding. Note I took the photo so I wasn't the one being weird ;) just a spectator tis all.  

 Jennifer doing 'water taichi'  ;) 

These kids spent part of their day taking seductive photos beside the pool. 
 Elaine, our cook for the day :D she BBQ'd all our food while the rest of us sat there like gluttons muahaha. 
Foooooood! 
 You know what the best part was? We were doing all this while our siblings were at school hauehaue this is so satisfying. Aha I'm such an evil sister. Richie came around near the afternoon and gave yee sum speakers for her birthday/ took some photos for us & drove some people part way home. It was a very relaxing day :3 I now need to hold a icepack to my face though because it's burning ;_;

Happy birthday Dayadra :3
This afternoon I spent the majority of my time baking some cookies for Dayadra's birthday dinner at Maru tonight. 
She shouted everyone korean BBQ buffet :) Thanks for inviting me. 

 I was full by the time I finished one plate of food though, even though it was a buffet. Yup I've got the chinese new year spirit down ya know, eating korean food with friends. 
With the bestfriend :) 
 My adorable anisha fish & jenwen :3 
 I got to catch up with so many people -happy- kind of miss highschool to be honest, even though university hasn't even started. I feel like everyone is already starting to drift apart. Afterwards natalie came and dropped off cakes for dayadra. She couldn't make it tonight but omg the cakes looked so cute and tasted amazing :)  
 If That's not sincerity I don't know what is. Even though she wasn't allowed to come to the dinner, she still came and dropped of the cakes she baked. It was a lovely night. Bussed home with jennifer so she wouldn't get raped on her way home ;) Nah just kidding.  Though she did look very sexy tonight ;)))) Okay I think I've been drinking too much coconut juice. I'm being so random tonight. I feel like blogging about everything. 

Well Happy chinese new year guys, not really feeling the spirit of it though. Oh well. Thanks for the lovely night double D dra !

Hello guys!  
I spent a lovely day out with jen today. Well most of the time we were running around trying to get things done but I felt quite productive and we also had time to D&M. Surviving on four hours of sleep (because I last minute crammed for my learners test) I managed to pass with 100% muahahaha and now I can drive LEGALLY on the road. Jen also got her learners!! 

Afterward we went to visit kyle who was working at Hanaichi and we had lunch there. I then went to QUT to apply for a blue card and then both Jen & I got our ID cards printed on the spot too... they're so ugly :') I now appreciate state high ID cards, they are so much better. QUT ID cards are all dark and everything is blurry so everyone looks really screwed :s 
The state high design is so much prettier 
 I look like I'm grimacing. You know what's even better? These ID cards last for FOUR YEARS. FOUR FREAKING YEARS nooooooooo. Lets 'accidentally' lose my ID card shall I? Anyway after that we met up with richie for a bit and then I left to go Jap tutor. Got back to the city at around 6:30pm and decided to do some shopping to reward myself. Elaine, this is the moment you gasp, I actually bought a FLORAL article of clothing. Hahaha, going into uni anyway, might as well go for a change? 

Hehe my learners booklet peeking out from behind the skirt there :P Woot, time to go watch a movie!!! Laters guys!

In the 7 February offer round you have been offered: 
418182 Bachelor of Medical Imaging Science - full-time - Queensland University of Technology, Gardens Point Campus
Start Month: February 2013 


YESSSS!!!!! I'm sorry Cindy & Joanne :') and all those who thought I should've done law, in the end I just felt too insecure heading down a path I didn't prepare for. Although I still love UQ alot (Pretty law building + events + campus+system), the course I'm more comfortable with is at QUT. Even if I end up regretting my rejection of the Bachelor of Commerce/Law I guess I'm proud. I'm proud that I got into two OP2 courses with my OP3. Apparently not many OP2 people got in Law because it was filled up with OP1 people, this meaning that my rank points gave me an OP1 equivalent result :) I am happy everything. Thanks to everyone who supported me going to study law, but I still ended up changing my mind and applying for second round. 

Thank you God for giving me chances at two very good courses :)
Okay off to enrol at QUT now!

Hello children :) 
I don't really have a specific thing to blog about, guess I just really want to get back in the habit of writing more? I think my brain has kind of shut down, I barely remember what I'm doing each day and I don't keep track of the dates. I don't even want to put into use my maths or science knowledge when I need it. I still wake up from nightmares of me having a physics EEI and exam at the same time though. Guess this is what grade twelve does to you haha. Nah I'm just kidding, it's not that bad if you manage things well. Soooo a anon asked me how to cope with grade twelve the other day, I guess I could try give some pointers though I'm not really an expert since you know... OP3 hahaha. I'll include some from V too! 

Tips for surviving grade 12 
- ALWAYS ask questions if you don't understand, do that as soon as you encounter a problem 
-Keep asking questions until you have no more and you'll be ready for you exams :) 
-Make sure to listen in class, no matter useless or pointless you might think it is 
-Always review what you have learnt each day, do any homework allocated 
-If its hard to understand a teacher, try reading over some content from textbooks & taking notes before you class  
- PLEASE Start assignments as soon as you get them !! You'll have lots of time to fix it up and you won't have to cram. Believe me, that destroys you mentally and emotionally as well as physically.  

English: 
-Starting early is especially important for this subject 
-Do lots of research, try find some examples 
-GET STARTED. write a draft, no matter how bad you think it is at least you have something to go on from there. I used to spend too much time thinking what I should write. Don't do that, just start!!! 
-Keep fixing up your assignment, but not for too long each time. If you're blanking out, have a rest and come back later :)  
-Get your friends to read over your assignment and give feedback. 
-For speeches it's better if you memorise them as well as some hand gestures/changes in tone. If you're like me then you probably find public speaking quite hard so it's best you get familiar with what you're going to do. 

Maths: 
-Make sure you understand everything that is being taught, if not, ASK IMMEDIATELY. 
-Try to finish all the sheets you might receive, no matter how painful. PRACTICE IS THE KEY. 
-Cross out any questions you finish (you'll feel a sense of satisfaction) and circle ones you found hard or couldn't do. 
-PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE 
-Again with assignments, you should start it early and perhaps work on it with a friend if you find it hard. 

Physics& Chemistry: 
Yes, your teacher does matter when it comes to the sciences but do not fear, should you get someone who can't teach all that well there is still hope!! 
-Read over the unit you guys are going to be starting and try taking some notes first (whilst making sure you understand). That way even if you don't get what your teacher is raving about, you can probably still do some practice on your own. 
-Try do most of the sheets (this applies more for physics as doing ALL the chem sheets are usually a very very hard task, but still. Make your best effort). 
-DO NOT CRAM FOR EXAMS OR ASSIGNMENTS EVER! 
-If you're in state high, GO TO DR. BADRAN FOR CHEMISTRY QUESTIONS. Omg. He is amazing!! 

Language: 
Not much you can do here, just DO YOUR HOMEWORK. 
-memorise all the grammar, make sure to keep REVIEWING 
-Practice writing sentences and check with the teacher or some friends to see if your sentence structure/ grammar is accurate. 
-Just PRACTICE PRACTICE in general, if you do that, you should be fine :) 


Hope that kind of helped, if not, my bad :x Hahaha. Note this is just from my personal experience, it may be different for some people though. I think I repeated myself too much. Oh well, it was just a spontaneous decision for me to write this. Hopefully it wasn't filled with too many useless tips. Good luck to all school students!! ;) I'm still on holidayyyyyys. Weeeee!

Hi guys! :) Last night I went to sally's late 18th birthday/going away party. I spent a good part of the afternoon making her card :3 I was kind of happy with it until I realised that I made it the wrong way round ;_; it was meant to open horizontally but since I stuck everything the other way, I had to write the card vertically. Yup, this kind of thing always happens to me. Haven't made a card in such a long time (: but since sally was leaving for melbourne today I decided this would be more meaningful. 
It was pretty funny though, I got to Vapiano five minutes from six only to find that no one was there yet except for a few people. To our amusement sally was late to her own party but that was okay since we were mostly chilling at the tables anyway :) 
 The lighting looks so yellow on my camera :\ 

Kelly(shin) & I shared a pizza :) We were dying of hunger and finished it all. Afterwards Tom offered to take everyone down to noggi to have some froyo at around 8:30pm. It was awesome because he got us 50% off (he works there) and so to the horror of his colleagues we ordered a gigantic jug. 
Most people kind of left after that but richie & I stayed with sally to play pool except it wasn't open by then so we took her to Karaoke. It was her first time and she said she liked it !! :D It was a great way to finish off the evening. I miss her already :') she left for melbourne this morning. Sighhhh. Anyways I have to go help mum cook now - -" laters!
