Less than 7 hours left.

yeah well, no. i don't like birthdays anymore cause it makes me feel old. ;__;
hmm... i had tiramisu cake yesterday. ;)
i wanted one from the cheesecake shop (cause its really yummy there), but my mum was like....

so yeah... oh well.
i'm meant to be studying jap test which is tomorrow...
but... i don't know how ._.
and.... I'm hungry. >:(

2011-09-09T19:28:00.000+08:00

my blog is dead.

not like anyone cares or actually reads but...
yeah, you know, im totally talking to myself. :|
hmmmm. oh my god. my life is so freakin boring. honestly.
nothing exciting is happening... T__________T
well, one thing exciting is on Tiny Towers when the buildings finish building... and waiting for stock to finish stocking. yeah, you know how sad this is.

SCHOOL is just.... ehh.
assessments, test, assignments due, blah.
normal.
english = romeo + juliet zzz....
math b = just finished both math test. i really. do. NOT. want. the. results. back. Like seriously, just... NO.
for once i didn't study for the tests. because:
study = fail ; don't study = fail
therefore, study = don't study
:D LOL. that's mahh motto.
art = art was so much funner last sem. right now it's just a bludge... ._. but better than doing math. so... :|
accounting = i actually understand what we're doing. it's really a bludge in class though. lawl, we get to eat and listen to music. our accounting teacher is pretty cool >:D
ipt = ehh. its ok. finally finished stooopid roboant. now on gamemaker > YAY.
jap = another subject which i understand :') haha. i think jap is actually the best subject this semester.
teacher = cool; classmates = cool. therefore, teachers + classmates = cool; therefore jap = cool. ok that doesnt even make sense. esodkfnjkdfg D:

speaking bout subjects there were like subject information nights and interviews last week and everyones just been like stressing out and debating which subjects they should choose in senior. LOL

im so bored im gonna count down till my birthday ._.

It is 2 days, 2 hours, 40 minutes, 00 seconds
until Monday, 12 September 2011 (Brisbane time)

LAWL. YES. I AM THAT BORED.
OMG. IM GETTING OLD. D:<
i hate feeling old.
oh damn i feel so old now.

ARGHHH NO IM GETTIN' OLD.

happenings so far :D

2011-08-09T20:36:00.001+08:00

Hrmmm.
haven't blog for a super long time.
I better blog now before it's dead, or shall i say, get dead-er.
soooo. lets see. anything exciting since i last blogged. :/
actually there was a lot.
well, recently there was our QGSSSA rhythmic gymnastics competition. :)
we didn't win, but, you know its not all about winning. 8D
it's about having FUNNNNNNN. well, kinda.

Which reminds me, somethin funny happened on the bus on the way to the competition venue.
See, we got our Tetanus shots 2 days ago, and my friend was complaining that it hurts and that she can't lift her arm.
Friend - Aww my arm hurts! We got vaccinations.....
Coach - When?
Friend - 2 days ago...
Coach - I had to train after my injection. You won't even feel it when you're on the floor.
Friend - But i can't lift my arm. -attempts to lift her arm- OOOOUCH!
Coach - SUCK IT UP!

AND, LATER that day, we went to a shopping centre and they had these huge advertisements that said SUCK IT UP! It was a BOOST AD! What a coincidence, seriously 8D. So then we took photos and sent it to our coach. and she loved it. ;)

OH I ALSO took part in this Japanese Dance for our schools 90th anniversary some weeks ago with my friends!
at first i was really reluctant to do it. but the teacher was begging people to participate and even bribed us with buying as pastries. ;) so, me and two other friends, well, i was just tagging along. but anyways, this is the convo-

Teacher, Friend, Me
Who's interested in doing the Japanese Dance?
- Both my friends raise up their hands-
awkward silence.
Jo-Ann's doing it too!
I am?????
Yeahh!
Well, you're doing it now!
..............
and that's how i was 'forced' to participate. but in the end it was actually really fun and i wanna do it again. 8D

Oh and I got addicted to this game called TINY TOWERS on ipod/iphone/ipad. :)
But yeahhhhhhhhh i gotta run now and do my stupid maths hw and english assignment D:<
even though its like 10.40pm.
BOOOOO-HOOOO.

2011-06-20T19:49:00.000+08:00

life is as usual, gym, blahblahblah.
this week of school is a bludge.
we do NOTHING at all. im not joking. serious.
either we watch movies, or do NOTHING.

last friday was our school's visual art exhibition.
it was awesome. i didn't expect all the work to go up :)
it was super awkward cause parents kept taking so many pics. X_X
SIGH, YOU KNOW, PARENTS........ sometimes get too excited.
I feel so unfit cause i haven't did gym in a week. like seven days.
but it's okay, i'm sure the next three hardcore days i.e. tomorrow, weds and thursday will pay off and will balance it out. haha ;)

anyways i've actually watched some good shows lately cause all my exams are over!
i'm falling in love with all the STUDIO GHIBLI shows! they're sooo awesome :D
i've watched my neighbour totoro, ponyo, and spirited away :) and i lurve them all.
that hayao mizayaki is a genius 8D
and i started watching this really sad japanese drama １リットルの涙 aka ONE LITRE OF TEARS.
there;s a movie version which summarizes all the episodes, and of course, the episodes version.
i watched the movie first, and i cried, seriously.. D':
a lot of my friends who watched it did. :(
IT WAS SOOO SADDD.
it makes me think, life is so short and precious sometimes. never take it for granted.
and it made me realize that if you're alive you should be happy. :')
wow. it was a good idea choosing to do japanese. at least i can understand like 1/1000 of what they're saying XD
man, japanese sure are good in making shows. :)

2011-05-23T18:40:00.002+08:00

oh my.
i've ditched my blog for 2 months.
TWO WHOLE MONTHS.
it's just that when no one reads it it's like blogging to yourself.
which is good in a way, but you don't have the motivation to blog ;)
ANYWAYS did i mention gym started already? like last month.
don't think so.
OH YEAH! A GRADE TEAM!! > <
i feel............. accomplished.
wasn't expecting to get into A Grade so quick, cause the other group did it for the past 3 years and NOW they're in A grade and we just did it last year. Sooo. Guess all those waking-up-at-five-thirty-in-winter-three-times-a-week-for-four-months paid off! it really did. we even got an award --- commitment award. :)
omg.
last Tuesday the coach got pissed at us cause one person in our group was a few minutes late.
and she's like oh you missed your opportunities girls.... blah blah blah.... D:
i think she's still mad at us. and she obviously doesn't like us as much as she used to anymore
ooh, in friday in gym we had to do all those strengthening exercises which we really hate.
and we had to play like the game we always played in primary school. like the wolf , the mother chicken and the baby chicks. omg. i swear sometimes the coaches just make us play REALLY RETARDED GAMES that make us scream and look like failures to laugh at us. T.T
Haha, not really. I don't know. and when we do stretching it just shows our unflexibleness... and fail-ness.

Nuff' bout gym. ART! I got an A for my first assessment which is ayee painting piece. I HONESTLY DID NOT LIKE IT AT ALL (I MEAN MY PAINTING) but for some reason it got an A. and my friend's painting WHO IS LIKE UBER PROO got a A MINUS so IDK whats going on.
But.......... oh and i submitted my drawing to the school magazine/ newspaper thing.
i don't know if it'll actually be published.
because i don't know if my work deserves to be wasted money on to print on high quality paper to be distributed to the WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL, with more than 2100 students and like hundreds of teachers and the principle and :OOOOOOOOO or if it deserves to be put online on the school website :O
holy crap. i just realized that. please don't put my name on it
> < "

ARHJAHSJHD.
I GOT MY FIRST EVER B,
yes B for my japanese listening test D:
FIRST EVER B for Japanese.
im so....... sad. D:

I NEED TO DO MY BEE ASSIGNMENT WHICH IS MAKING A SURF CLUB
and i need to RENDER IT, PUT LIGHTING FIXTURES ON IT, DO THE ELEVATIONS, PUT THE MEASUREMENTS, DRAW THE FLOOR PLAN TO SCALE, MAKE A LIFT AND STAIRS ON IT AND....AND........ OH JUST KILL ME NOW!

2011-03-11T20:49:00.000+08:00

sigh.

i know i have been ditching my blog. But, really, i don't know why to blog if no one reads it.

except me.

so... yeah. im blogging to myself. anyways.

OMG I GOT AN A- for Japanese! =D

i thought i was gonna fail. like, HONESTLY.

anyway. i finally started my finish sketching my drawing on canvas!

now i've to outline it in permanent marker.

then paint in acrylics in the style of pop art/ comic. :D

hahaha, i suck at painting....

but at least comic style means SOLID colours and NO NEED TO BLEND. *evil laugh*

i like to blend but its so freakin annoying when you can't get the same exact colour again!

bleh. ;D

I have a maths test next week and im gonna fail! okay whatever, yeah i know, you don't care if i fail. ooooooohhhkay bai bai for now.

2011-02-15T16:33:00.004+08:00

Hmm, okay, well life's pretty boring now.
now every saturday i have to go to chinese class (or, we call it "chinese school") for THREE WHOLE HOURS.
SIGH. this takes up my whole saturday afternoon.. less time to do assignments, homework... which means less free time. :(

Less internet time.
Less TV time.
Less facebook time.
Less blog time.
Less youtube time.
okay. fine, i know, i think i'm exaggerating too.

Lately i've been thinking for my subjects for senior years (years 11 & 12).
well, i guess a lot of people are as well.
cause year 10 is a time where we start making important decisions. ;)
sort of... cause in year 10 you trial the subjects you wanna do in senior, which eventually leads to university..
so i've been thinking of uni as well. and my future career. (yes.. already.)
i sort of know what I wanna do in the future.. Well, i know the kind of industry i wanna work in.
i wanna work in the creative industries.:) but im not sure which field yet.
i'm thinking, maybe graphic design, illustration, advertising, film & tv, ... i don't know.
well, those are my options. kind of.... i think.

i wanna go to ART SCHOOL. (basically it's a college/uni that only teaches & specializes in art/ design/ film)
but it's SO freaking expensive. PLUS, they are all in america and canada.
some of the famous prestigious ones are Savannah academy of art and design, academy of art university, ringling college of art and design, california college of the arts, california institute of the arts, Parsons, art centre college of design, pratt institute, rhode island school of design....... yeah, you get it now.
some of them are more than 100k!
My parents want me to stay in australia, preferably even around brisbane. :O
well, i think i'll go on the exchange program to canada in uni. ;) they have some good art schools there.

hmm.. i feel like doing work experience week next semester.
it's basically KINDA like an internship/ traineeship. it's this program where you get work experience for 1 week. you choose a job/ company, then you observe how the people work and how it's like in the office, what kind of things they do and stuff. i think it'll be a great experience. :)

Week 2 of school :)

2011-02-06T10:00:00.001+08:00

this week of school is alright, getting so busy, no time to blog! BUT i will anyway (;

my maths teacher is freakily weird. haha. i have no idea how to explain him.

he is really funny though i don't think he is a fantastic teacher.

haha, he asked everyone where they came from, which makes me wonder, do all maths teachers do that?

last year my maths teacher asked that too, hmmmm is it a maths teachers' thing? :P

anyway, a lot of people in my class come from china. :)

i said malaysia. then he started talking in malay. he said his ancestors come from there.

then he started talking about where pisang (banana, not the other meaning) came from..

then he asked my if i can speak malay, i said yes, he said thats very good, must know how to speak. :/

anyway, schools just normal :)

in art, we have to do a modern version of Mona Lisa. so thats fun :)

and yeah. I REALLY WANT AN IPOD TOUCH.

i miss my ipod touch so much! D:

*cries* (haha, no, i didn't cry)

sighhhh.

my mum found an iphone in the toilet.

but returning it to the owner is obviously the right thing to do.

so... :(

ttyl. gotta finish my mona lisa.

second day of school... or the hundredth day.

2011-01-27T20:44:00.001+08:00

omg.
second day of school, and i'm already bored of it.
it feels like i've been going for months, years!

walking to the bus stop every single day, catching the bus which takes 40 minutes to get to the busway, walking to school from the busway, which takes 10 mins, then school, crossing the bridge between top campus and bottom campus, walking from school to busway, take a bus back home, walk back home, which takes 15 minutes.

sighhh~
and i have to do this for another three years.

anyways, second day of school, but feels like the hundredth day, honestly.
FIRST, I had Japanese. It was good, I guess, kinda boring but not too bad.
I almost knew everyone in the class, so thats good. :)
but my teachers kinda boring, and messy, and goes too fast.
i really really really miss my old jap teacher, why did she have to leave. :(
she was the awesomest japanese teacher EVERR. (and I really do mean it!)
i miss her! <3

SECOND, we had our weekly SEL lesson.
"Social and Emotional Learning"
yeah, don't ask about the name.
okay, well that wasn't too bad i guess, we played games the whole lesson.
we sat outside in the courtyard and played "wink murder", chinese whispers etc.
it was hilarious, it ended up with something hilariously ridiculous, cause someone changed it.

THIRD, I had English.
I thought I wouldn't know anyone, but I knew a couple of people, so it wasn't that bad.
The teacher seemed like a good teacher, unlike my previous teachers who i think marks too easy on me.. :P
Year ten english is apparently gonna be way harder than it was last year, cause its considered the start of senior, and they wanted to prepare us for it. Sooo, sigh.

LASTLY, I had BEE.
It was good, well i reckon it was the best subject of the day.
I was so freaking out cause i didn't know how to use REVIT or AutoCAD.
but turns out half the class didn't know how to use it as well.
That was a HUGE relieve. *pheww*
I didn't know they had DUAL SCREEN MONITORS, seriously, i did not know.
its so cool, u can just drag stuff between the monitors. ;)
the teacher was nice, well not AS nice as i thought, but still nice.
and i have two of my friends beside me, and they're smart, so yeah, haha.
its always good to have some help, ya know! ;)

So, all my subjects are alright so far, except for MATHS which I don't know yet.
At this point, I DO NOT KNOW ANYONE IN MY MATHS CLASS.
and apparently my teacher is bad. i am so failing maths now.
sigh.adding the fact that, I'm gonna be a loner in the class.
with no one to discuss questions with.
well, i think. but, i'll see TOMORROW, last period.

the moment of truth, is tomorrow 2.10PM.

FIRST DAY OF YEAR TEN!!

2011-01-25T15:21:00.001+08:00

First day of year 10...
It is pretty good so far, doing the subjects you wanna do. :)
except English and math.
Cause' I don't think I know anyone in those classes.
Sighhh. I don't wanna be a loner.

Anyway, today I only had two classes since it's the first day of school.
I had Art first, and it's the best class ever! It's so fun, and you get to sit with your friends on the tables and you're allowed to talk and stuff. Today, we got this design homework where we had to sign our signature on a paper, tear it out and rearrange it, and we had to create a title page for our art diary, including the word metamorphosis and the definition of it, with weird designs and stuff. :D

Next, I had Accounting. It is not bad as well! You learn pretty useful stuff.
Today we basically learned about the definitions/meanings of the different words in Accounting.
Pretty normal, I guess.. Hmm, now I still have to find out about English, Maths, Japanese and BEE.

WELL. ANYWAY.
Tomorrow is AUSTRALIA DAY, so what does that mean?

NO SCHOOL!!

It's funny going to school on the first day, then having a holiday, then going back to school for 2 days, and having the weekend. :)

Some pics of AUSSIE DAY. (from the internet)
Look at the aussie spirit! :)

fresh as new :)

2011-01-21T16:06:00.002+08:00

OKAYY!
I'm starting my blog fresh as new. :)
(uhh, fresh as new? does that even make sense?)
well, you see, i made a new year resolution to keep this blog alive for a whole year.
cause every time i start, i stop for a few months..
so hopefully this wouldn't fail.
cause it took me forever to delete all the old posts, there were like more than 60.
and i had to delete them ONE by ONE.
but, it should be worth it...
i think... hopefully.
