Today I woke up at 9:30 realised tennis was off because of the rain and went back to sleep until 12. Im cool like that. I slept in an awkward position and now my neck hurts to bent or turn my head. Sorry for the short and quite meaningless posts lately, nothing much is happening in my life, except for maths, and no one wants to talk or listen about maths.

I think i may have used colour pencils for the first time in a couple of years a few days ago in science. It was to colour the different colours of stars (:

Maths is slowly killing me. Today the weather was weird, it looked cold (cloudy, foggy, wet) but was actually quite warmish I didn't even have to wear a jumper, I only had to wear a short sleeved shirt (and it's not because i'm fat). I must do insane amounts of cramming over the weekend.

Email lessons

I just realised hotmail changed its layout so now i'll probably have to reteach my mum on the basics of emailing/receiving.

Email lessons:
Mum: How come my email doesn't work?
*daniel looks over*
Daniel: You typed it in the browser T_T. I told you, you have to go to hotmail.com for the billionth time
*suppresses anger*
Mum: Yes I'm in how do i check my emails
Me: GO to inbox
Mum: inbox inbox inbox *dot dot dot*
-15 minutes later-
Mum: oh here it is
*reads email title*
Mum: WHAATTT *surprised look* why is it soo short
Daniel: Mum click on the actual message =='
Mum: Message? what message I'm reading it now.
*facepalm*

Exeunt Daniel
YAY soccer tomorrow, please don't rain please don't rain. My sister just bought me Allens party mix gummy lollies :D its been ages since I had lollies. The milkbottles taste yummy, but the fake teeth kinda tastes like toothpaste and the fake lips kinda taste like cough medicine. You don't notice these things until you actually think about it.

My sister got a voucher for two for a horseriding lesson a while ago for my birthday. But i kinda lost the voucher and it cost A LOT, I better find it before she moves out and I think it expires sometime in august.

Do horses smell?

Ok I think I know what I'm doing next year. 3U english, 2U maths, modern history, ancient history, legal studies, economics. Yes no science because I suck at it, I'm only good at reproduction >=D I still am not sure about maths, I think im too dum dum to do 3u it, but my friends and even my maths teacher says i can do it. Well i guess i can get 90's but my range is way too big, i've gotten 50% before and now im also getting pretty poo-ey marks. So i'm not sure yet. Julian doesn't know what a boner is. Sorry I had to make that public. (if you don't know don't google it, unless you want your mind corrupted, if it isn't already)

Soft skin?

Okay this has happened a number of times now. People say my hands are really soft, No 'O' you are not alone (: It happened a couple of times during dancing today, I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing, and no I have NEVER used moisturiser in my life. I really can't tell I'm trying to 'feel' my own hands right now, they don't even seem that soft. But i like how my hands are always really warm (: even in winter, i NEVER need gloves or mittens, and some people's hands are dead cold and however many layers of gloves they wear doesn't seem to do anything. Not referring to anyone particular here.

History essayyyyyy. Went alright I guess. I was surprised how at the time I actually managed to remember and write down my previous practice essay (the 'secret' question was basically what the criteria told us to do) with around 10 seconds to spare? I was scared of having one of those brain failures when you suddenly forget everything for brief moments, but nah I didn't get any. The muscle near my thumb and index finder was soooo tired and strained through the whole mad rush of writing. I had no time to check, knowing me I probably made about 100 grammatical errors and another 100 missing words and broken sentences here and there. For example I would probably do something like: "UNESCO international organisation important" quite often. I'm afraid I didn't talk about Colombo Plan enough or 'assess' achievements.

TEN WHATS: (stolen from Ophelia)
1. What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up?: Damn I have to get up
2. What did you do last night?: Study for History essay and watch undercover boss
3. What is the most important part of your life right now? Idk
4. What would you rather be doing right now?: Well i SHOULD be studying for maths
5. What did you last cry over?: you

10.What are you looking forward to most in this week?: Nothing because i have a boring and tedious life.

Heheheh we're doing history of food in history elective (Y) What's your favourite food? Mine is crispy skin chicken om nom nom =D. Good idea for the end of that topic we should bring food from our culture and feaaassstttt (:

I'm currently in memorising mode for history and I'm taking a 5 minute break to blog. I really don't want to get my laptop back, it's really distracting in class, I actually DO work with the old fashioned paper and pen and as a result I got my first merit award in yonks. Yea in geography with Mr Sharma, it was because 1. We asked him when we finished our work 2. Everyone else was being rowdy. He didn't even know my name how he wrote my report I don't know. Considering he's been away half the time. But then again he probably just wrote the exact same or similar comment on peoples' reports and changed the name. (I looked at my friend's comment and it was EXACTLY the same).

Dancing tomorrow YAY! (sarcasm doesn't work well online does it?)

Okay so Adam won masterchef... At first I was going for Callum because I thought Adam was only in the finals because of his unique asian cuisine that the judges adore, but in the end I realised that he really was skillful. Then again he is 11 years older than Callum, I swear what made Adam win was his knowledge of a cumquat and some sauces. The judges should be looking for potential !! But oh well Adam is good aswell (:

Hi, sorry for this late blog, been a little busy. Yes I know it's already sunday but this will count for saturday's blog (: So I just watched this documentary about an AUstralian dude who got trapped in a laos jungle for 11days. No food, and during the worst monsoon in 100years in that area. On the fourth day he had like no energy so he laid out on a rock near a clearing with only a shirt on and rain pelting his face 24/7. The nights were -20 degrees D= when they had finally found him, he looked like a white wrinkly prune ( a bit like when you stay in the shower a bit too long except X 1000) He suffered from kidney failure, lung failure, extreme hyperthermia and something else with a long name which I forget, and almost died twice in hospital. Oh and his feet imagine this black rotting stump where the toes aren't even distinguishable anymore. Just goes to show how weak we are out of our comfort zone. What would you do in his position, lying out in the open did eventually get him saved, but still if it were me I'd find a nice cave, lie down and die. What are some ingenious survival tips that you would like to share with me?

I'm going to sleep now.

Daniel's injury adventures:
Is there a muscle near the right pelvic region? because if there is, then mine hurts right now. It feels like my right pelvic bone is bruised or something and when I walk theres this strange strain. Today I stood too close to the bus door, I forgot they fold inwards unlike the train doors that slide outwards. So i kinda got sandwiched between the bus wall and the door (the bus driver didn't even notice).

Try to say Irish wristwatches out loud really fast then try to say 'Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?' if you can say it really fast within 5 trys i'll give you a mental pat on the back (: This is what I do when i'm bored...

Room cleaning

I just did a full re-moval of my computer. I got down and dirty (you wouldn't believe the amount of dust/ rubbish/ tissues you have behind your desk, the places where you never bother to look), unplugged, replugged, clicked, screwed and banged a couple of times (no not in that way Yen wei). Now my computer is fully functioning on the top of my desk not near my feet (: giving me more leg room. Why do I always manage to hit my head on hard surfaces just above me? I'm probably doing this to procrastinate but none the less -proud-

My mum has a weird habit of 'cleaning' my room when I'm not around. She does small things like move my bin around, moving my chairs around, moving my school uniform from my easily accessible chair when I get up in the morning, to coathangers in all corners of my room, and I find myself left in the single digit freezing cold morning half naked looking for clothes to change into. Those small things really get on my nerves and ruin the general feng shui of my room. This is what happens when I bring up the subject to her:

Daniel: MUUUUM you cleaned my room agaaaiin *sad face*
Mum*: I've been busy all day got up at 6 JUST to clean your dirty room, I'm now soooo tired thanks to you. *moooaan* *groaning continues some more*
Daniel: We'll you didn't HAVE to clean my room I didn't really ask or want you to.
Mum*: What can I do? I have to make sacrifices for my family, my life is soo miserable.
Daniel: Well it is actually MY room, just don't do it next time.
Mum* -semi yelling-: Your room is my room I own this house you can say that when you move out, for now it's my rules.
Daniel: Well OKAY then.
Mum*: *continues to sigh*

Well there you have a little insight into Daniel's household.



*in naggy shanghainese accent

Today I went to Western Sydney Uni in Parramatta for the careers expo with about 5 other schools. First thing I notice, is that the students are all huge. The guys are big and bulky and very tall, I reckon on average they're like 10-20 cm taller than us makes us feel so inferior :( Also it makes you realise that Australia is still well and truly a european nation, 95% of people in those schools are white. Oh well i guess the asians and curries thrive in selective schools LOL. I'm just a typical asian when it comes to freebies I managed to get a free USB from the help of Yen wei's soft coaxing with the stall holders. I realised that all the good stuff is hidden below the stalls and you actually have to ask lol. And also the lesser known universities there had the best free stuff, probably because they needed it to draw the crowd it. Even though it was a pretty fail marketing campaign in my opinion, people just came asked for some usb's and left...At least we had some sort of interest. And we did successfully absorb some knowledge about careers in different universities. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe.... Heheh i guess it was fun I met 4 people that I knew from the different schools, including a good friend of mine I last saw in year 5. I also saw a couple of other people I knew but not very well, they looked bogan-y and different so I was reluctant to greet them, but none the less it was entertaining to see them.

I've got a leadership training program to help the local primary school tomorrow, meaning I miss the first period of maths (YAY). I HAVE to start history now.

The journey begins...

What will term 3 hold for us? A hell of a lot of work/ assignments and tests, more than usual because we have school cert next term. Maths test in TWO weeks and another maths test sometime during this term. I am going to die.

Today it was nice to see old faces but dancing was gay. We pay $5 to do something we dislike very much, what's the point of doing sport if you don't even get tired and do repetitive moves over and over and over again.  Basically theres this old dude who shouts at us and does the same painfully easy move over and over again. We only actually got to dance a couple of times with our partners. Rest of it was "step, step, step", "walk, walk, walk" "shuffle, shuffle, shuffle" -clap clap- "inside, outside, inside, outside" thats about it for 1 and a half hours.

Instructor: "Let's practice it a few times"
- 30 minutes pass-
Instructor: "Ok get with your parter we're about to start"
*turns on music*
-30 sec later-
*turns off music*
Instructor: "Seems like you guys need more practice, follow me"
Everyone: *rolls eyes*

Oh we got our english speech results back today. I did pretty good :)

A wrap up of these holidays

I would rate these holidays a 8.5/10
In terms of fun and enjoyment 9/10
In terms of productivity levels in school work 0.5/10

I keep having that holiday mentality of the whole 'I'll do it laterr' -5 hours pass- 'still got plentttyy of time' -3 hours pass- 'oh what a shame it's too late seems like i'll have to do it tomorrow', business. By the way I just realised I'll have to get up 5 hours earlier than usual tomorrow, and I'll have to sleep at like 11pm -dies- Basically all i did these holidays was a bit of IST and work experience searching, which I still haven't found and now i'm having an "omg I am so screwed" moment. Well I've applied for two councils and still waiting for their replies.

Oh and now that my toe has stopped hurting theres this problem with my leg. When i stretch/ flex it theres this pain around my joints (i.e. my knees) and I can't lift it higher than 45 degrees. I'm getting old, OMG arthritis!!!!! Whats with me getting all these mysterious and weird pains. Oh wells at least I'm not on crutches (: SEEEEEEE you guys at school (:

I'm tired and I have a headache from too much tennis and I'm probably uber stinky right now since I've been sweating non stop for 3 hours. I'm also kindof pissed because apparently 6 people were coming so thats $10 each to rent the courts but instead only 4 people came and I had to end up paying $30 instead of $10 far out I''m not rich people! This holidays seems to be unlucky on a few of my friends. My friend who is ultra sporty has been training for the city2surf like wake up a 5am train for the whole day kind of training. And so after eating and drinking he started running straight away felt sharp pains and it turns out that his appendix got inflamed (don't go to this link if you have a weak stomach) because of that. What exactly IS an appendix for? If some science nerd  reading this knows, please enlighten me. So now he has to undergo surgery to get his appendix removed.

And my other friend is now on crutches because he was in morning glory buying something (I'll stop there) and when he was going down stairs on the LAST one he slipped and twisted his ankle. I know it's slack but I know him too well and I know hes fully unco and just picturing it in my head kinda made me laugh :O I'm an evil person.

Movies

Below are the movies that I watched these holidays.

Did you know: that toy story 1 was the first fully computer generated film?

Today I went to to the city with friends to watch TOY STORY 3.

 Firstly we went to capitol to take stickerphotos (kind of a tradition with asian outings) then went to market city for lunch. I had this really niiice seafood noodle soup. Chris had sushi and with the wasabi we had an interesting competition, we played scissors paper rock the person to lose had to eat the whole packet of wasabi. In the end Hannah had to (: and the reactions were pretty funny. Then we went to the arcade where I OWNED Shirley at the random basketball game.

We were about to go to imax when the girls kinda stopped for like 15minutes infront of puppies in a pet store mesmerised by a couple of dogs :S But then again I can't talk since it took us ages to drag ourselves from the arcade.

So about 30mins before the movie started we went in search for bubble tea. We practically walked around all of Darling Harbour and into a shopping centre, but without success D: nooooooooo bubble tea ))): So I ended up going with a $7 a cup ripoff boost smoothie. Overall the movie was pretty good, not as good as I expected but yea still really good., I won't expand into it incase I ruin it for others. I was also kinda getting teary at the end... jokes asif I would cry over such a movie *shifty look*. By the way theres this freaky toy monkey in the movie that freaked the crap out of me. Oh and imax was completely full and crying babies through the movie was annoying aswell.

Second time at morning glory

This was my second time at morning Glory. Okay I think I'm developing some sort of weird fetish.

TOY STORY 3 TOMORROW!!!!

Eclipse

Today I went out with about 8 friends and watched eclipse in parramatta.

I wanted to watch either karate kid or shrek 4 but nooooo, the girls had basically forced us to watch eclipse (like they did with 'Bratz the Movie'). And yes i could have ditched them and watched Shrek 4 but thats kindof unethical considering the whole point of going out is to catch up and whatnot. Okay as soon as me and my friends went into the cinema, it was pretty much packed, with girls, there was not a guy in sight so us guys looked kinda awkward (a bunch of asian guys in a sea of girls). Our friends who were girls were pretty much in there comfort zone having read twilight and I was there like a complete noob.

The verdict? Pretty terrible movie, most of the movie was dialogue leading up to the war between the vampires and newborn vampires. We basically knew it was targeted at teen girls because 1. Jacob had his shirt off more than he had it on 2. There was kissing every 5 minutes or so. Then the scene where Edward Cullen (he's pretty ugly) asks Bella to marry him, the whole cinema simultaneously went 'awwwwww' and I was sitting there rolling my eyes. The soppy/romantic/love scenes made up A LOT of the movie. The best part was the action scene at the end which only lasted a few minutes. MANNN I could've watched Karate Kid or Shrek 4.

If you're a straight guy I highly suggest you not watch this movie, I mean even the chick wasn't that hot. ):

By the way I went to morning glory a second time. We saw this squirrel tissue box cover and the tissues, lets just say came out of 'inappropriate' places on the squirrel, it generated quite a laugh with me and my male counterparts (typical guys, yeahhh..) I'll upload some more 'morning glory adventure photos' in this blog if people want me to.

I really want to watch toy story 3.

Dark side of Blacktown

Today I will be giving you an insider's report on Blacktown. Typically Blacktown has 4 breeds of people the bogans (the people who sit on benches outside blacktown station all day with a cigarette in one hand and a can of beer in the other and have toothless smiles) the black gangsters (singlet, bling and jeans below their asses) the druggos (the skinny people shaking and spazing in the corner) and the normal people (about 5%, no I'm joking idk).
Some proud Blacktown statistics:
-  One of the highest crime rates in sydney
- One of the lowest employment rates
- One of the highest school dropout rates
(SMH statistics)

Once my mum was in the pharmacy buying panadol and what not, when she heard yelling next door (the dollar shop) so she goes to investigate and theres this brawl against the shopkeepers and bogans trying to steal sandals (seriously) and this was really serious stuff the shopkeeper was bleeding and had a really black eye and same with the bogans. (now you may think, so what? its a pair of sandals, but actually the shopkeepers were pissed because they get things stolen DAILY so it was more of a rage fight than to protect sandals). So after the asian shopkeeper had successfully defended the sandals the bogans came back and smashed a screwdriver into the back of the shopkeepers head (:O) and he was really bleeding heavily. Eventually the ambulance and police came, but you get the point serious stuff there.

And I highly suggest you not wander about Blacktown at night alone. I was once at this party and I had to take the train back to blacktown at night, and this sus looking thin dude with a blackcoat came up to me with a brown paper bag and asked if I how many 'grams' I wanted to buy, and I was like "UHHH I left my wallet at home" *runs away*.

Well Blacktown isn't actually THAT bad, I hope I haven't given you the wrong impression of my homeland (:

Hi, half the holidays are already gone...And my productivity levels are still 0% all i've done these holidays is look for work experience, and i've failed at that. I'll blog in more detail when i'm in a happier mood.

THREE museums turned me down :( Energy Australia have no more positions and now my only hope is with blacktown, holroyd and parra councils.

You know I was able to control myself in my own dreams once upon a time. It was cool I remember running into woolworths and eating chips, it was so reallll i could ALMOST taste it. When I had nightmares I could make myself turn around and fight those axe wielding blood dripping murderers, it's cool because you're like invincible in your own dreams. I hypothesis it's because I was in a half sleeping half awake state of mind and thus I was able to control myself, oh and I could also make myself wakeup from a dream.

I'm one weird person.

Work experience

Work experienc-ing adventures :O

Daniel is in -stress mode- and spent many hours looking for work experience. I just realised that I've left it wayyyy too late all places like sydney morning herald, ABC, Channel 10, Channel 7 and Nova 96.9 have been taken or don't offer work experience. So at around 3pm I was having a massive low, but then someone helped me gain a massive morale boost :D and when I couldn't think of any places to call, I had a lightbulb moment and ended up calling powerhouse museum and various other museums. So today I didn't get any acceptances but I got 3 'call back later' s from museums. If worse comes to worse my last options are either blacktown library or blacktown council. Blacktown sun (local newspaper) didn't accept me, what meanies =(.

Is it just me or are the operators for media companies (channel 10, channel 7, radio stations) extra slack. I ring and before I can finish my sentence a monotoned much practiced "no we don't offer work experience here sorry" is blurted out followed by a *hang up* T_T I'm off to watch survivor China.

Enjoy your night.

Holiday mood

Sleeping at 1am and getting up at 1pm is not a good idea. It seems like the more I sleep the more tired I feel when I actually get up, and because I get up so late I just have one HUGE breakfast and miss lunch, meaning I only have 2 meals a day! that can't be good for my body =/. I swear I sleep half the day away, the concept of 'morning' doesn't exist for me and before I know it, it's night time again and I get like nothing done during the day. On the plus side, I don't have to fix my wild hair in the morning because I don't have to go to school =D

Seriously. WORK EXPERIENCE.

Pencil

What's with the crappy stationary quality these day. Okay like yesterday i bought these two pacers (with rubbers and lead refills) for $3 on special (last one on the rack) and had a -YES! daniel got lucky- moment. Only to take them home and find that they are non functioning. From the outside they looked really pro/new/whizzbang/shiny/complicated/high tech, you get the idea but when i eagerly took them home to try out, the lead wouldn't even come out. It had THREE ways to eject lead- pressing the button, shaking it and some automatic function, yet none of them worked. So after much examination and head scratching moments I deduced that the tip of the pacer from which the lead is meant to come out was too small for the 0.7mm lead and instead the sweatshop $1 a day labourers in china (it actually was made in china) had accidentally placed the 0.5mm tip in the 0.7mm pacer. Just what I think. Stupid Bic quality, so tomorrow I might go get a refund (even though the box is now mangled since i suck at opening stationary boxes)

I seem to be talking about a lot of strange and random things these days.

Bad news...my sister is moving out soon :O Ok I am happy for her since she can be more independent, have more freedom and have no parents to nag about her messy and untidy behavior. However this means that I'll be losing a friend, a mentor, a teacher, an older sibling and an asian snack provider :( This means for the whole of the critical high school years (year 11 and 12) I'll be alooonne, but I guess I'll just have to work seriously hard and believe in my own abilities. Oh well if I was her, I certainly wouldn't let a scrawny, small eyed asian brother hinder my aspirations.

Daniel is saying goodbye to frozen asses while sitting on an ice cold toilet seat in winter, because today my mum bought one of these: =))) 

Yep thats right its a woolen toilet seat cover =) However my one is blue without the suspicious darker 'water' patches on it (if you look closely), this was just a random image on google that resembled the one my mum bought. It feels nice, soft and warm on my bum (: Okay why am I talking about this.

Tomorrow I'm going to legend's house (or million dollar mansion i should say) to play some table tennis and film the last scenes of our ist video. Legend's a cheapass so he won't be providing lunch >.<

I'm wearing my grey sweater. 

Today I got a haircut refer to previous posts for a description of what it looks like. On the way I noticed something intriguing, you know how donated clothes go to St vinnie's? and they sell it for a couple of bucks to give to charity. Well I noticed that in westpoint there are stores that sell clothes for JUST as cheap $3 or $4 for an item of clothing. How they make profit I have no idea (you have to pay the employees, rent and electricity costs), even though they do look pretty shabby, the point here is that Vinnies, a non profit charity organisation has to compete with a retail store and obviously the retail store would have better things. So vinnie's would be going downhill (it was virtually empty whereas the store in westpoint was overflowing), meaning that somewhere out there a homeless man would have nothing to eat for the night :( How are the clothes so cheap? they HAVE to have been made in China then transported all the way to Australia, the FUEL alone would cost heaps more. 

Today I played 4 hours of tennis in my first tennis comp, (won 2 lost 2 =D) and now my legs are ultra tired and my feet hurt. And the friction of the tennis racket grip on my thumb has caused the skin to rub away leaving a red painful area. I also chugged down 3 bottles of water. 

Currently making a list and researching work experience areas. I'm thinking something food related since I like food =D But i don't want to go chopping vegetables for a restaurant D= , my friend did that...thats not work experience thats free labour!!

Last day

Today was the last day of the term!!! we kinda had a bludge day. We missed maths because of year assembly, (I suck because I got no awards =( so not much was done in the last ten minutes, played volleyball in PE and watched a video in English. AND yayyyyy today i got my assignment that was on my laptop back =DDD. I had to wait for almost the whole of lunch just for mr vaughn to go into his office and get my laptop. 

On the way home I was looking for a new folder, because the zipper on my current folder broke. However much to my dismay I could not find a folder with a zipper!! Do they not stock them anymore? They only had folders with those metal rings inside and no zipper. And yes I DO need a folder because if I put my books in my bag  my back is ultra strained and it kills by the end of the day. 

Tell me where to find zipper folders!!!

Reflection on term 2 time. (since I feel the paragraphs above are not sufficient for a 'last day of term 2' post).

Term 2 has been one of the busiest yet. During the few weeks in the middle of the term there were AT LEAST 2 tests/ assignments due in a day. I remember one week were only Tuesday was free of tests and assignments. And I do admit I did struggle quite a bit (clearly in maths, but i won't go into that since I want this to be a kind of cheerful post). However I did excel in some things, this term I got full marks for my history assignment the first time I had EVER gotten a 100%. Assignments were done scarily close to dead lines and study periods for subjects were reduced (because of the lack of time and my failing ability to multi task). I was EXTREMELY disappointed in my end of year history elective mark, but there is no one else to blame. I just have to try harder next term. However on the other hand I'm happy with my 6% above averages for history and geo. I do feel guilty now because in the last few weeks when assignments and tests are decreasing I did not use that time wisely at all. I really have to pick up my game because I'm sure next term will be even more hectic.

What would a blog be without plans for the holidays?
Here are mine:
- Go over to friends' houses.
- Organise a tennis day.
- Meet up with primary school friends in the city.
- Go laser-tagging and imax-ing with girra friends.
- Shoot more scenes for IST video.
- Look for work experience.
- Maths study and catchup.
- Complete mando homework.

Hope everyone enjoys their holidays!

Laptops

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. 

Hi, today I handed in my gov laptop for imaging. One week ago I had backed up everything my anime, dramas and work. So in math (period before I was about to hand in my laptop) I thought it was all good since I had everything backed up on my home comp. THis was a BAD mistake, during the last period of today I realised that my history elective assignment was on it (I had only completed it a few days ago) and since I backed everthing up 1 week ago my assignment was left on it!!! So i stayed back after school for half an hour or so, but I was told to come back tomorrow. I just need ONE file damnittt. I just hope I can get it tomorrow or I'll have to do it ALLLL over again. Stupid government laptops I swear it just creates problems and provides distractions in class. 

Sorry for this rather boring rant post.
