hi, I was at an awesomly off the hook party/sleepover yesterday until today so i couldn't blog. I'm kinda out of it right now since i came home a few hours ago and I only managed to rack up at most 1hour of sleep last night. From 5am- 6am, but at least i got to see the sun rise! I also went to riverstone for the first time and found an uncanny ability for time prediction.

I'm all partied out so I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I could've gone to another party today but my mum didn't let me :/ and i'm really tired and my vision is kinda screwed.

Formal/other shizz

Yes i haven't blogged in a while and there has been an overload of events (formal and incursion) I was just mainly too tired and couldn't be bothered blogging these past few days.

Formal, didn't look all that great, but the party was rocking and so were the weeners (Y) awesome night. Partying with music on full blast, my ears were ringing well after the formal and everything sounded a tad muter. Even the people who i didn't expect to dance, danced (even if it did take a lot of convincing). Generally we acted all high for the whole night but it was kinda weird when you have the sterny gaze of the principals and deputy principals on you. You could tell they wanted to say something or have a go at us but they decided in letting us have our fun. And i think that night was the most pics i've taken in my life O.o Oh and i was surprised at certain peoples' shuffling, b boying, popping and cripping skills :) very impressive boys.

We spent 6hours at school learning some bullshit business skills, haha kinda funny though we spent like ages learning how to shake hands with an employer. Firm no wetfish no dominance, keep it neutral and 2 shakes is enough? O.o wow i actually got something out of that seminar.

PARTAYYY on saturday (Y)

Deathly hallows was an awesome movie. I only saw the first part today which was 2 and a half hours long so i thought it would drag on for agess because previous movies in total are only like 1 and a half hours. Not getting to see cho chang was a downer :( but overall the plot and acting and generally everything was great. But there was this chick behind me and zomg every 5 freaking minutes she would laugh hysterically at scenes that were no even remotely funny and sometimes even sad. So yea that pissed me off, it was sooo annoying. If you haven't seen it, get your ass at a cinema and watch it :D


PAY YOUR $40 TOMORROW I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE ONLY GRADE TO HAVE THEIR FORMAL CANCELED. ALONG WITH ALL THE MONEY LOST PURCHASING CLOTHING.

thank you :D

I've been wrapping a lot of presents lately (birthdays and christmas coming up) and i realise i really cannot wrap presents. I usually get 'help' from my sister (basically she does all of it) or i chip in for other presents and i still dont wrap. The front of my presents actually look alright but the back... is like a stickytape mess :( ahh well its the thought that counts right?

Back to school tomorrow, seems like ages but it's only been a week...

Day 4- the best day of the week!

Today is the second last day at holroyd and i had to say goodbye to some fellow council members (because they don't come in tomorrow) and it made me surprisingly kinda sad because they were really nice to me. I never thought i would feel this way about the council :O And i think I've talked to more old people these past 4 days than i have my whole life, like all the volunteers are retired old people. Okay so today i had Meals on Wheels service till 11am and after that i went to a council organised event to celebrate the services given by all their volunteers (I think the youngest one there was 3 times my age).

So let me ask you Girra attenders. Do you even know who our mayor is hmmmm? yea i didn't think so. Me neither, until today, I was able to not only see him i was able to meet him, shake his hand and speak with him :D So i asked him this in a joking but half serious way:
Me: soooo mr Perry, thinking of giving more funds to good old GIrraween high some time? *nudge nudge*
Mayor: hah hah hah
-continues chuckling-
Mayor: "maybe sometime son"
Me: =='

BUt wat seriously what made my day was the viva la samba performers who came :D. If you don't know what samba it's this Brazilian dance. And these yound 20 year old girls came in with frilly red headpieces and frilly bikinis :D and for 30? or so minutes (I lost track of time) they were 'shaking' everything ahahah including chest pumps LOL. SO yes it was very entertaining :D But when old people dance with hot young girls im kinda like =/

Oh and also I got a free christmas lunch, of turkey with baked vegetables gravy and cranberry sauce (: YUM! and i have concluded that I really don't like christmas pudding that much, first bite tastes alright but it's realllly reallly sweet annd filling.

Last day of work experience tomorrow guys!

Day 3

I got an all council floor tour today. And it's just strange seeing asians in a place full of white people. And i don't know why but whenever i see another asian in public and they see me it's like we have that special 'asian' connection.Also it's soo obvious what are stereotypically male and female jobs in the council. You find that whole departments are either male of female. Community services and child care- allll female. Engineering, technical, IT- like 100% male.

I put gum in paper and into my pocket because there were no bins around, unfortunately the paper did not cover the whole wad of gum. SO when i took my phone out it was like all sticky with gum pieces all over it :( it took me like 15minutes to wash and attempt to scrape it all off.

On the way home i had a lol moment on the train. A kid from rosebay was sleeping on the train (i don't know how people sleep on public transport) with his mouth wide open and his head lapping from side to side. Also there was constantly strands of drool running down the side of his mouth, and EVERy time he would wipe it off. :D:D

2 more days, finally

DAY 2

I'm out for so long and get up so early that i only really remember going to holroyd coming back eating dinner go on comp for a bit go back to sleep and its back to holroyd again. T_T I did everything i did yesterday, except a meal on wheels cook told me about all his veges and herbs and i got to try :D. But i went to a organisation inspection today with a holroyd member. The organisation wanted some money form the coucil for a project to run and we had to go over inspect their house and interview them. The lady was really trying to prove her cause to us. HAHA i felt kinda special :D

What i wear to work. okay i know its not mybest image but i was in a rush and this was early in the morning so i was still half asleep. But know you know that i have to wear these uncomfortable clothes :(

work experience day one

Okay i can safely say that work experience is definitely more tiring than school. I woke up at 6:30 =.=' i like NEVER wake up that early (only for like camp and other rare activities) and came back home at 5:30. So thats 11 WHOLE hours outside. Whereas archy got to finish at like 3pm wtf :/ It's the first time i went to merrylands and i didn't get lost (: Today I was an assistant, I: typed (with praise for fast typing speeds from the holroyd crew), read, printed, photocopied and got toured. Anddd i also can confidently say I know how the meals on wheels system works now (: i even helped cook, prepare, stack, get orders and transport cooked food. You'd be surprised at how many people rely on this service. The 'wheels' service is not by a young looking guy with an ordinary car you see in the television ads, but much rather by old retired men with rusty utes and shaky hands. It kinda feels good to 'give' to the community :D and I'm going to a community centre and a holroyd event to help outtt later in the week.

I also got a special "work experience student" and prox card, so I look kinda businessy. Without a prox card does that mean ms antony (my supervising teacher) won't be able to visit me :D There was also this dude who briefed me about the holroyd youth centre, and I couldn't keep myself from staring at his double chin because every time he spoke he looked like a frog XD.

I've never given/ received so many handshakes in my life :O
Everyone still seemed to have had a better day than me though :O

Work experience week.

It's work experience week for ussss.It sucks beacuse i have to buy a weekly train ticket costing $15 so not only do i not get paid i have to PAY to go to work. And the hours are longer than school 8:30- 4:30. And i have to wear 'business attire', so black pants and a formal shirt. And i dont know what bag to bring because i have no 'work' bag. I saw a mum at coles today 'stealing' lollies. She got lollies off the rack unwrapped them dropped the wrapping (WITH the barcode) and gave it to her sons. Also i realise it's so easy to steal fruit/nuts from fruits stalls in shopping areas i see quite a lot of people doing it, especially at blacktown. I also havent been to my work experience place, or even the suburb for that matter. But i should hopefully be fine..

Looking forwards to reading everyones' posts on their work experience experiences tomorrow :D

Happy peppero day! (the copycat korean version of pocky)

i forgo about remembrance day! and sc computing skills was harder than i expected..

I don't know whats happening in blacktown but helicopters have been noisily hovering around my area for hours now. I wonder who/what they're looking for. At blacktown station there were theese two camouflaged armly type looking helicopters hovering dangerously close to the ground.

My grandpa and dad have that typical old asian man type of running.

SCHOOL CERT IS (practically) OVER YAYYYY. 4 hours of head bent down eyes staring at words on paper can get quite tiring at times. I find it ironic that the board of studies made mistakes on the history/ geo papers, school certificate is such an "important" test so shouldn't it have been double, triple, quadruple checked?? APEC stands for uhmmm something but i know it definitely does not stand for Asia Pacific Economic Community!

The weather is deceivingly hot, it looks cold in the morning (cloudy etc) and even the day before it was pouring with rain and cracking with thunder. Which reminds me every time theres thunder my lights flicker and the electricity turns off for like a SECOND and then my computer completely turns of (which is annoying especially if you have unsaved assignments) and takes liike 1hr till it's able to be turned on again. DOing school cert in long grey pants in an unconditioned windowless hall can make one slightly uncomfortable. especially when your legs start sticking to your pants after a while in the same position.

Advantages of facebook: (for those anti-facebookers)
- keep in touch with friends
- know what others are wearing on days of tests so you don't look like an outsider.
- comment and view other peoples' pictures
- playing online facebook games when you're ultra bored
- not seem like an antisocial person
- and finally, stalking people from the comfort of your own home (:

I feel slightly bad when one is favoured over another, especially when the the bonds are longer and better.

7/11 day

School cert tomorrow, and i can probably say i don't think i've studied as much as i should. I also feel strangely calm and apparently we're the last year to do SC?

I didn't go out to celebrate 7/11 day because i couldn't be bothered going out. Slushies for $1 is pretty cool (ahahah) but i bet the stores are like packed and the machines are out (i don't think they refill)

GL guys

A bludgy teacher is all well and good, but you realise how bad he is when you actually want to learn something and try asking him a geography based question. I don't think he actually knows the correct answer and mumbles some random geography sounding jargon. Then searched for the rest of the period for answers to past geo school cert papers after I've told him they aren't there, after much (whats left of) hair scratching and pressing page up and page down at least 10 times he comes to the conclusion there are in fact no answers. Then the bell rings and my question remains unanswered.

THanks mr sharma.

I have the smallest eyes in my family, which is saying something considering I'm asian.

The boy's toilets really should be maintained better. There is no soap so after one goes to the toilet they can't wash their hands properly (it went from liquid soap, to foam soap, to nothing), and the toilet often smells like shit (literally) and vomit. Also it's really annoying because the 7/8 toilet cubicles are too low so its kinda weird when you can see people's heads at the corner of your eyes (even me at average height), so people who are slightly taller could technically look over and INTO someone elses cubicles if they really wanted to. It's never really happened to me personally, but the possibility is quite unnerving.

Year 10 formals are held in rented venues, or at least the school hall riiight?, but our school has hit an all time low of undercover basketball courts =.=' costing $40 not a very formal venue if you ask me.

MY CLASS NEVER DOES ANYTHING INTERESTING IN SEX ED its all just theory theory testbook, no practical or video stuff :( hehehe its still me favourite subject though (:
