100 days
saturday; i had tutor during the day. my parents asked me to think about choosing a restaurant to go to for my birthday dinner. it took me ages.. actually i took the whole day to figure out where to eat. i had this sudden craving in the afternoon so i searched up restuarants with creme brulee :) i didn't find anything great that was available, there were some awesome places where you have to book weeks or even months in advance ): i ended up going through the entertainment book restaurant menus and found out that trellini's in towers had creme brulee and i loved it there when i last went.. 3 years ago x) so ye, my dad booked and we got there just before the massive line formed outside! dinner was awesome and it was a night out with the family :)
creme brulee and strawberry compote 8D
it was 10 minutes before midnight and i was pretty excited over the whole 'being 18' thing..
sunday; my phone died cos of the messages coming in at midnight, thanks guys xD! and then 3 minutes past midnight i got upset cos i realised i'll never be a child ever again sigh. i was pretty depressed after that LOL. yep, i went to bed..
.. woke up at 9, my parents went out to a party and my sister left to larry's 15th birthday party lol :) i was home alone most of the day. ended up having an awesome day with music extension =_=.. gah i'm so stuck on it. oh and i was allowed facebook back for the day, thanks berni! i replied every single birthday message on fb cos i never did in previous years and i felt so guilty. thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone :3 ray came over at 4.30ish.. he introduced me to this stupid but funny game.. UNICORN ROBOT ATTACK! and i intoduced him to the impossible quiz.. you all gta try it sometime! ..but maybe after trials or something xD
yeah just a quiet day at home, but the evening made up for the study during the day :) masterchef was so exciting! even though it was kind of obvious who was gna win it was all so fun to watch. totally made my birthday xD
today; school. little surprise at recess o: woah guys! thanks for the present! i really appreciate it :)! i didn't get to thank everyone in the group properly gah.. i must thank you guys tmr :) humdedum.. tk came to jap. i like it when he teaches. he's really helpful, not stupid and annoying like that stupid sub we have for the rest of the week asdlkjdhf. lunchtime - sat with jac, berni and lisa for a little while and headed to D8 for the RALP thingy xD it so good to see ex-students come back to help us out. really nice of them. unfortunately i went late and they were all a bit busy or talking but they said i can go next week and they'd go over some maths revision with me which should be good seeing as the maths trial is the next day (Y)!
after school we all headed to chatime - buy one, get on free! man the line was soo long.. tara is supposed to start maths tutor in north rocks at 4 but i got my drink at 4.02.. == ended up getting to tutors place by 4.23 i think.. but kenny (maths tutor) is cool! i have awesome conversations with him during my lessons.. don't think he minded tara rocking up late so that was nice :) oh yeah and i got a grapefruit green tea with pearls for myself - it's quite nice! ..if you like sour drinks haha :D
i got the letter today! jap oral exam to be in gordon, yay a day out in the northern suburbs. oh man i cannot wait for the first exam to be over!
cyous all later!

rewind please?
i wish i had more time now... i remember steph wong telling me that i'd wish i had more time for school in the last term. i told her that wouldn't happen cos i dislike school haha. mm i was wrong :) i know i will miss it next year..
hmm so yes, first week back. it was good! and bad.. =_=
i was pretty dead this week due to the english assessment. we had all holiday to work on it but i decided to start properly 2 days before the due date. you'd think that after 13 years of schooling i'd learn to not work last minute now gah! and i also had to work on textiles folio... so ye, i was up late (past 12) every night this week oh jooy. it's a crappy feeling, being able to have 12 hours of sleep each day for 2 weeks and you go back to school and get 4 or less hours each day ):
i also heard about some stuff that made me feel a bit bummed all week. i guess i just should understand that people are under stress right now so they complain and say silly things that arent necessary.. i should just ignore it. or maybe if they were being true to what they said then.. i dno.. maybe they're not such a great friend.. gahh i dno... T.T
besides a couple of small things i guess the week was quite alright! i got to see everyone :) i think i only caught up with bev in the holiday? 8) tk's birthday was on wednesday but seeing as he was away doing his jap trial we celebrated with a cake yesterday. omgsh green tea breadtop cakes are sooo nice! Px i recieved my textiles and english results back and they were both good *victory dance*, maybe i still have hope for the HSC!
assembly today was soo long.. my mum gave me a cool lunch xD.. oh and apparently someone plagarised in english o_o nyeh so many people trying to guess who it is lol =_=.. went to towers today and tara bought me part of my birthday present lool x) oh and spring collections for stores are coming out now yess! so it's formal dress season woooo! the thing is i already have my dress (but now i'm considering selling it o.o). IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN BUYING A FLOOR LENGTH SILK CHIFFON WHITE AND GRADUAL PINK DRESS, please let me know! hasn't been worn and i'm willing to sell it alot cheaper than the price i actually paid for it haha. i've been excited over getting the perfect formal dress for tara. we actually found this super cute chiffon layered dress and it looked great on tara so if we don't find anything better were gna get it :)
hmm what else has happened.. oh yeah, i didn't deactivate facebook but i did get berni to change my password! i'll get it back on the 3rd of november haha O: it feels so odd, coming home - i log online and then there are three sites i automatically go to - facebook, hotmail and blogger. now that facebook is gone i only have one main distraction - blogger! BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, I NEED BLOGS LOL! i need you guys to stay too and blog to keep me sane and alive haha :D!
mm yesss! i have so much more to say but i gta go shower and sleep cus i gta get up early tmr and study!
good luck guys, here's a picture to make you laugh x) tenzin showed me this arvo ehe!

~~
oh and callum or adam? i don't really mind who wins now, they're both nice guys. i'm just glad that claire is gone. can't wait for the final :3

HOLIDAYS
saturday; went to paddington with mum, auntie lucy, elsa and tara. my mum got me this leather backpack that i've wanted for my birthday yay :3 just walked around the markets and browsed stores most of the day. oh and i went to william street to go say hi to valerie :) i really like one of her new dresses with the lacey-like frill sleeve, ahh i wish i had money haha ):! on william street there were also a whole string of jeans strung up from nudie jeans to valerie's store O:! i don't have a picture atm but i'll post it up when i can get it off elsa haha x)
sunday; studied.
monday; seeing as i wasn't allowed to go out with my friends last week T.T i saw toy story 3 with tara bahaha X) i think i expected too much cos everyone was fully raving about the movie. but it was still pretty good, the tortilla part was to best omgsh XD!!!
tuesday; i had to go to the medical centre to have a blood test and breath test s: mm i've had problems for years and i've just put up with it but my dad really wanted me to get things fixed up mhm. my mum went with me cos she needed to be tested aswell. i've never complained about pain from needles but 5 days later my arm still has a massive bruise and internal bleeding from the needle.. nyeh my dad said he'll take me to the doctor if it's still like this next week. mm met up with tara and dad after the tests and had yum cha eheheh :)
wednesday; blue mountains! my dad made me drive there.. and back =_= i guess the first 15 minutes of driving in unknown area freaked me out a bit but the motorway is actually alright to drive on. the only thing reaally annoying was having to drive at 80 in a 110 zone and you'd see all these cars zoom past bahaha.
the night before the weather report said that it would be 10 degrees. the funny thing was we didn't think of checking the wind chill factor so we were in -2 degrees temperatures all day loool! thank goodness we were indoors 99% of the time.
we went to..
a chocolate factory/cafe :) and we ordered real hot chocolate where you have hot milk under a candle and you just put in the amount of chocolate pieces you want :3! we wanted to buy a couple of sets but the were $60 each urgh ):!
another chocolate factory! we bought like.. 2 chocolates each cos each piece was $2 @_@! but yee, they were sooooooo deliciouss P:
we went to a candy store, i swear i found like every single kind of candy here, even asian candies! it was actually run by jap people and heaps of the candy had like the english and jap explanation.. i think a lot of jap tourists must go there (:? but yeah, i found mini peach o's :D! and tara bought blueberry clouds and other candy ehehehe x)
another chocolate factory/store! this place was the most expensive @_@ some single pieces of chocolate were around $7-8, i bet they were nice O:! mummy bought a couple of blocks from there and we ate them last night.. so creamy x3!
oh, and the whole point of going to the blue mountains was to go visit my auntie who moved from epping and just settled in the blue mountains. she lives right around the corner from echo point! tara and i wanted to go see the three sisters seeing as we were so close :) my dad tried to get a picture of our hair flying cos of the crazy -2 degree winds but that failed and my camera died hahaha xD
thursday; doctor, piano lesson.. WORST PIANO LESSON EVER COS MY MUM CAME.. and i will not talk about it T.T and then i went home for a little while and then i left for the periodontist to take out my stitches gah there was so much blood D: .. and when i got back i had to practise piano but i got distracted a bit cos bev and tara were having fun playing pokemon xD mmm and then ray scared me while i was playing piano, i didn't even know he was at my place.. he said the door was open so he just came in O:
anyways i went upstairs to change into warm clothes for the evening and then i found glowy stars on my ceiling o.o it took me aroune 15 minutes to ask tara why there were random clusters of stars on my ceiling and she was like 'you're looking at them upsidedown you nooong' so yeah i got on my bed and saw this :)

we headed off for towers at 5.30ish and we just walked around for 20 minutes then headed back to gpk. ahh my mum stayed until everyone but jackie and alfred had arrived cos we ordered pizzas and she paid o.o.. she was happy cos she said the bill was only $130.. and for 10 people i guess that's pretty good for gourmet pizzas haha :)

skdjhfbjsfdhbkjhsdbkfh.. i had never been to gpk but ray told me to book there so i did haha :) THE PIZZA'S THERE ARE SOOO FRKN NIIIICE! i'm going there again.. but maybe not so soon :/ hsc, please go away baahaha xD
we went next door to max brenner after we were finished with dinner. gaah i fought with berny and chan about buying the food but they insisted they buy me dessert seeing as mummy shouted the pizzas loool =_=! i decided on a banana choc frappe and a chocolate souffle 8) when the orders came out i saw the chocolate souffle come out with a sparkler bahahaah XD! ahh chan and berny you guys are funny :)

i think i tried to blow it out at one stage.. and someone laughed ._.

but yes, thursday evening there were only a few of us but it was fun :) thanks guys for coming and enjoying some good pizza and chocolate with me and celebrating my birthday wooo x)

and this is what i saw just before i went to sleep. i never had glow stickers in my room before, my dad never allowed it haha. thanks guys for making my day :D
hmm and for the past three days i've been 'studying'. no actually i have been studying haha but i i've also been distracted by..

POKEMON!
gaaah tara said that the one on the left was a different colour rare one but i ignored her and just said to print screen and we'll compare the next onix we find and it'll be the same colour. turns out i was wrong ):! i should've listened to tara gah, apparently that was a special gold onix that gets rare moves boooooo hahahaa!
dumdedumm.. oh yeah and check out this video, the embed was taken off so just click on it to watch, so funny heheheh xD!

#63
on tuesday and wednesday i went to japanese school in kirrawee. i forgot how long the trip is to kirrawee gaah. it took us one and a half hours each way, good thing we left at 8.10 in the morning :) the first day was not good, but also not bad. i think i was pretty freaked out because pretty much all the students were speaking pretty fluent japanese and i was still answering in small answers like 'hai' or 'sou desu neeee' and just repeating the start of sentences. jess and i were put into different groups so i socialised a bit, made new friends yay :D
wednesday was alooot better than tuesday. i think it was knowing what to expect in the lessons and the level of difficulty of the exams.. oh and also kind of knowing who the people you were working with.. mm made me and i'm sure everyone feel more relaxed 8) ahh and also a few kids (i think it was 6) didn't show up on the second day, they were the antisocial ones who weren't really happy when i talked to them too so that's.. okay ahaha. oh yeah and the food they provided both days was awesome! unfortunately i did not take a photo but yeah, it was two bento boxes but there were different things in the boxes for both days yumm x) oh and tuesday i was driven to and from school by my friend nicole :) the second day jess' grandma drove us there but we caught the train back. i ended up getting home at 6.45 so yeah, if you ever wna go to kirrawee, travel by car unless you want to be on a train for 3 hours lool!
hmm what else happened.. oh yeah i must say my japanese has improved greatly in just 2 days! really happy i attended the course ahh :) jess and i really didn't want to walk to the station as it was a 20 minute walk so dominic (one of the students) dropped us off yaaay. we just missed the train when we got there so we waited 30 minutes and pretty much everyone who walked to the station was there by the time the next train came. mm this drunk ignorant aussie guy came up and talked to the teachers when we were on the train trying to impress his friends =_= one of my classmates ended up telling our teachers in jap to get off the train carriage and move on and it was so cool cos i could understand :D.. yeahhh x).. anyway here's some photos bahaha
me and jess on the train, oh yeah this is mateja's girlfriend LOL XD
my teachers! : まりな先生 と のりこ先生 :3
電車。。日本語クラスメート!
certificate yeee ;D
bababaa.. thursday i went to a family frnds house for a lunch party :) and i had the best zuchini slice i had ever tasted there omnomnommm 8) and then i left after about an hour for my mini operation ._. it actually didn't hurt during the procedure and for pretty much for a whole day.. it hasn't hurt o.o and then all of a sudden about 3 hours ago blood started seeping through my plasticine dressing and the pain just kicked in T.T i have to deal with this for another week, oh joooy haha.
hmm aren't my sister's cupcakes cute? she made them for the lunch party yesterday but i couldn't eat them after the operation *cries*
~~
EDIT: i left to shower then i realised i forgot to mention stuff :)
today my dad and i were talking about graphics tablets :D and we were watching info videos about them on the computer and then he decides to go looking at them in store. he wanted me to come and we had to leave straightaway cos tara had to be dropped off to towers to go watch eclipse with ling. the thing is i was only wearing a singlet and trackies with my awesome sneaker socks my mum got me (i'll get a picture of them later for you all eeh xD) and my hair was seriously messy with bobby pins sticking everywhere to hold annoying strays wooo. my dad didn't let me do anything except grab a jacket to keep warm so i walked around towers and the homemaker centre looking like a hobo with a cool jacket, mmmm o_o!
i was planning to have friends over for dinner sometime next week as a small *birthday celebration* but my mum won't let me and now that i think about it, i don't think many people would come cos everyones working so hard.. preparing for upcoming exams ahh ._.
gaah i had more to say but i forgot..
OH YEAH and replying back to my cbox comment 8) hello jasmine! this is mateja's girlfriend, her name is jess, isn't she cute bahahaha xD

holiday update
i won't be blogging as much now due to trials, hsc prep courses and other entrance exams. i hope you guys enjoy your holidays, good luck with the studying ahaha.. !!
so what have i done lately? i've become a hermit :) family goes out, i stay home to study woo. mm was supposed to go out on saturday with rsc group to watch toy story 3but instead of waking up at 8, i woke up at 12. this resulted in me having to stay home and clean the house instead of going out. i guess the upside to all this is the fact that i have actually done A LOT of work in just a couple of days.
and what's in store for the next 2 weeks? study. OH YEAH and a bit more study :) i have a two day japanese workshop in kirrawee that starts tmr, i'm not really looking forward to it. i'm also going to the periodontist on thursday to get my gum reduction.. (FINALLY!) argh, i'm actually a bit scared. going to be a mouthful of stitches, fuuuun!
i'm going out with my mum and auntie lucy on saturday.. that should be fun. and that's probably the only time i'll go out these holidays. oh and i MIGHT have a birthday dinner? the only thing is i'd have to start planning it now and i have no idea what to do. any ideas anyone? :)
and yeeaaah, that's about it for now!
good luck with the study everyone!

my dad fixed my camera for me :3
