I got a paper cut from my maths test as soon as i got it back today. I wonder what that shows... yay I finally got work experience = no need to work at kmart or even worse GIRRAWEEN HIGH SCHOOL *shudders*. Deo sharma is lame, me being in the front row, he kept wasting 15minutes of my time asking if I had gotten this sheet, if I had gotten that booklet, whether I had gotten this test back and telling us we had 20minutes to complete the geography essay tomorrow and realising he made a mistake and told us we had 30minutes to do it as the bell rang and everyone went into "yay recess time" -ignore teacher- mode. By the way, he writes the exact same comment in every report, and changes the names. Something along the lines of: "daniel is a good, quiet and conscientious student who works well with his peers, this definitely shows in his marks. Marks can be further improved through early and thorough revision at home". I just read my year 9 and 10 report comments.

My immune system is not holding up, I'm in stage 2 of the common cold. BLOCKED NOSE. nuuuuuuuu
Day 11 — A Deceased person you wish you could talk to
I don't know anyone deceased. 

My throat is very flemmy, sore and I'm coughing a lot. Not a good sign. Must. Not. Get. Sick. Before. Party.

Day 10 — Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like to
Hullo, I really only really started to get to know you this year. You seemed so stoned and uninviting at first glance. And also seemed really sad at your rather superior maths marks which you deem too be inferior, in an attempt to make people feel better, but it generally has the opposite effect. Certain people think you're cold -physically and mentally- (which it may seem from the outside), me included, but they really don't know you well enough and misinterpret your innocent actions for ones of deceit. You're a weirdo, in a strange and unique way, I guess that's why it's interesting to talk to you...

I'm glad I started to talk to you all those months before, and i hope we can get to know each other better. And don't forget me after highschool D: Others should get to know you, you're cooooool (:

Little kids

today I went on a leadership program at Girraween primary school, and it was a very nostalgic experience. Let's just say that in my whole classroom there were 2 white kids 2 asians and 26 little curry kids. So the teacher told me to tell my name to the class, I did, and then he was like "welcome daniel please children", kids simultaneously chant: "Good mmmmOOOOOOrning dddaaaannniieeelll" with a prominent higher pitch in the middle of morning. It's normally good morning, but with these kids it had to be good mooooorning, I'm making no sense am I? I was laughing at first then, I had a wave of nostalgia *hey I used to do that!*. It's still amusing to see new year 7s go Good Moooorning ms Dasnevasss every new year. (I remember doing that aswell on the first assembly of year 7, followed by sniggering of grades above). Btw we were late so all we got to do was say "hi" to our kids before they had to leave for fitness. Yup well worth the skipping of maths.

On the way back theres this gate at the back of the primary school which leads to a faster route back to our school. But it was closed, so like the good older/mature role models we were we decided to jump the fence and break their school rules on our first day. Slowly as we were walking past we realised the teachers and little kids doing fitness had silently watched us jump over the fence. I hope we don't get verbally raped tomorrow at assembly.

Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet
No-one gosh I'm so boring, I have like no idols.

So today I went to the city to help my sis unload. Using my *brute* -cough- strength I was able to assemble the bed and lift cupboards and wardrobes into my sis' room. Her and her room mates rented out the top 3 levels, so they have 3 balcony's! You can see the harbour and anzac bridge kekeke... I was leaning over the side enjoying the views, when SUDDENLY, I realised that I was very very high indeed and if I had happened to slip and fall over the side...so i stepped back and enjoyed the views there. My sister being on the top floors reminded me of that international Malaysian uni student who was on the top level of a building when a guy was trying to rape her and she jumped off 10 stories of building and died... If i was her I would've just gotten raped, HEY better than jumping to your death! In the end I'm happy for her (my sister), but it suddenly hit me... that I would never see her again unless I actually go out to visit her... For lunch we had thai- pad see ew (stir fried noodles with vegetables etc etc)

Do you ever come to think that you can never really come back to being 15/16 again? I just randomly reminisced with my friend about primary school life and how great it was, but we're never able to go back to that moment of time.

I just realised my sister owned one of those expensive ceramic hair straighteners as I was helping her unpack. And my parents are nagging me about how hard I have to work now that my sister can't help me etc etc...

Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend 
I'm taking an internet friend as one you have never met before. It's a funny story really, we met on facebook through an argument on one of her photo's on a public group. (It was about height, which is a subject I am VERY passionate about (Y) Now I talk to her a lot on facebook, she seems nice (: I just hope she doesn't turn out to be a fat old pedo man who wants to stalk me.

When was the last time you ate a chuppa chup? I'm sucking on one now, and I just realised its probably been years since I last had one

I GOT up sooo early today (10am) to go to tennis, and then my car failed to start up. SO now I'm kindof crabby. And I also have to go to mando school, by either walking there or catching a bus there (and I've never caught a bus there).

Today I was helping my sister pack all her stuff (clothes, shelves, tables) into our car. And tomorrow I'm going to crash in her unit in Chinatown for a day. SHould be fun ^^
Day 6 — A stranger
What am I meant to say to a stranger if i don't even KNOW the stranger, hence the name...

Day 7 — Your Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/love/crush
Null, to all 4 of those options

Well that went well... 

Freckles

I just had an excruciatingly painful stomach ache. I think it's something from the sandwich I ate during lunch. I came home a while ago and randomly had a painful stomach ache, went to the toilet and was all good. Then I had another bite and 30mins later my stomach began hurting even more D':

Lately I've noticed soooo many freckles on my body. I think I counted about 20, theres 4 alone on my ear, and soooo many on the left side of my face. If you look really closely there are FOUR really faint freckles under my left eye. And in the shower I discovered a new freckle on my shoulder and one near my belly button, and they are both slightly raised!!! cancerous? I should stay out of the sun and wear a hat.

Day 5 — Your dreams
I have no dreams... (options are also limited as an asian). All i know is that I'm doing law in uni, because my parents tell my to any I'm a good little boy, and also partly because I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up.

I seriously hate myself right now. Today in the maths test I had around 10 minutes to spare when I came to the last question. Its wording confused me (also because I think I read it wrong) and the diagram also confused me. Everyone found out x and took 85 from it. At first I had thought of it, but looked at the diagram again and decided it wasn't right, because it says he walked from B to C but that involves two streets and it only gave the length of one street which was 85. But thats not the point, me being such a freaking idiot I left it BLANK!!!! I should have still done the working for that and at least got a couple of marks even if it was wrong. OMG so angryyy, I can't think straight and logical in stressful test situations. Then I had a mental blank on the matching ratios and left that blank aswell!!! All you had to do was cube root the volumes. Jeeeeez i am SUCH a baka. I've already lost sooo many marks. What's done is done, can't to anything about it....And what sucks even more is that each mark is worth more than 1%.

Day 4 — Your sibling (or closest relative)
Best sister ever I guess, even though she's 10 years older then me. She buys me fooooood (: but not for long since she's moving. And she is always one to turn to when something goes wrong (especially in maths).

Shower-ing

My sister can take me.

The insects are taking revenge on me. I don't really notice this but lately as I go in the shower around 2 or 3 tiny red bumps that are ultra itchy show up (I don't think I notice getting bit as I'm sitting down). Speaking of showers, O-M-G yesterday WORST shower experience ever. Ok like normal I take off my clothes, stand outside the shower, turn on the hot water, stick my hand under the water until it gradually becomes warmer and enter. But yesterday I stood naked for like 5minutes (in the cold) waiting for the water to become hot, which it didn't. When the awful truth dawned on me, i mustered up all my strength and dived into the cooooolllddd water. I had like a 3minute shower (don't worry i still used soap and shampoo) and if you've ever been that cold, when you step out to a 10 degree atmosphere it almost feels warm in comparison. Note to self: don't shower after 12:30am. If this happened to you what would you do? put on your pj's and get into bed all dirty and sweaty or take a hypothermia causing shower? Answer in the chatbox or the comments, I really would like to know!

Day 3 — Your parents 
My parents are asian, that is all. Ok fine, they are naggy, repetitive (how is your maths going? what tests do you have? did you do good in your tests? etc) But i guess they are kind and caring, and let me have more freedom than other asian parents.

Car dialogue between father and son. (over a couple of days)

Case one:
Dad: How's your maths going at school?
Me: Good
Dad: Good what do you mean good? when you get your results back they are bad not good! You only ever say 'good'

Case two:
Dad: How's your maths going at school?
Me: Since I can't say good, I'll say bad.
Dad: Whhhaattt badd??? ask your sister, ask your teacher, ask your friends. You have to study hard, these years are crucial. Even ask me, what are you having problems with?
Me: Trigonometry
*confused look*
Dad: What's that?
Daniel: You know with the angles...
Dad: OHHHH that stuff -rapid machine gunning of shang mathsy words and numbers-
Daniel: *nods* *pretending to listen and be interested*

The ambiguous case: (AHHH trig is getting into my blog)
Dad: How's your maths going at school?
Me: Hmm, Uhhh okay?
Dad: What sort of answer is that?? that doesn't tell me anything I might aswell not ask!
Me: *murmuring* then don't...
Dad: Did you just say something? You better not have talked back to me! Because you know what'll happen if you do *raised backhand* "DISCHIPLINEE" *FEEL PAIN*

If you want to know the things spoken between me and my dad when he comes to pick me up from year 7 -10, randomize the cases and replay them over and over and over again.
Okay they aren't that slack, exaggeration, okay not really they actually do say that (in shang) but it kinda sounds more threatening in English and they'll never actually do it. I think...

Its official. My sister is moving out this Saturday. How does this have any correlation with anything you ask? Well this means I have no one to take me to a certain party, my mum will probably get lost because she sucks at map reading and she refuses to drive out of Blacktown (my dad is in China). So now since I can't take Julian or keely, I guess getting there will have to involve bus+train+picked up from station? (I have to leave straight after chinese class so i'll have to bring a bag full of mando books for the day) Julian's parents are a bit strict and are worried about him on public transport. Now this is all well and good for me, but it's the getting home that is the problem. I have absolutely no way to get home. I'm not going to walk to the station, my sister/mum won't pick me up and I don't want to travel to blacktown at night. So the only way is for me to get home is somehow negociate with my sister or get picked up by a friend's parent, taken to their house and stay there for the night (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* chris). So now since my sis can't pick me up julian's chances of going are also reduced since his parents can't pick him up after 10pm and also they won't let him stay after 10pm... Oh well we'll see.

Day 2 — Your Crush
I only liked someone for a little while, I wouldn't really call it a crush. AND NO I DO NOT LIKE KEELY OR RACHEL FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE READING THIS I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING ALONG THOSE LINES. 

Big post for the 1st of AUGUST

Its the first day of a newwwww month. -virtual pinch and punches blog readers- okay I'm not really in the mood because second day of August (tomorrow) I have a maths test, but nonetheless *cheers* What EXCITING *sarcasm* things will you be reading this month? uhmmm, lets see, there is westpac, maths test, geo test, english performance, work experience placement sheets (what an exhilarating life I lead, don't you agree?) and some parties. Oh and maybe horseriding aswell (:

Man VS wild!!! best show ever. This pic is blurry because it was the only pic on google I could find of bear Grylls in my favourite episode. This is a picture of him in an african desert squeezing and drinking the water out of elephant poo (seriously) when he ran out of water. Other thirst quenching mechanisms include drinking your own pee (it is actually safe, trust me I've tried, Ok thats just disgusting) and licking moss. If you didn't know Man vs Wild is a show where this survivalist expert (bear grylls) goes into an unknown region (desert, rainforest, icy mountains) dropped from a helicopter. His mission is to survive with only a pocket knife and to find civilisation. What would you do if you were stuck in a desert with nothing to eat? survive in style, bear grylls style try eating grubs, ants, dead animal meat, raw fish, cockroaches or even grass (hey you never know if you never try).


My gay internet has been failing the whole day forcing me to do maths *shudders* even though it really is good for me. I'm thinking of joining the formal committee, and for those who think that having it at the school hall is lame/gay, I'll have you know that ALL schools have their year 10 formal in the school hall. I have all these little insect carcasses on my monitor and desk who were unfortunate enough to wander into my room and fall prey to my light.

Daniel will embark on the 30 day challenge. Startinnnggg NOW
Who knows how long I can maintain this for but, yea i'll give it a go

Day 1 — Your Best Friend
Hmmm how can I say this without being gay. We used to go to the same primary school, even though we only knew each other for 2 years, those years of primary were the best, sad to see you leave and now we go to different schools but we're both still awesome mates. I don't know if you still consider me a bestfriend but we were in year 5 and 6. You've probably made heaps of friends now and so have I but you're still my best mate I feel I can say practically anything to you. I look forward to the rare hour of the week we can talk to each other, and during that 1hour I probably laugh more than in a whole week. If you're reading this (but I'm pretty sure you won't), dw I'm not gay LOL.
