first time using the kettle in the study room! maybe i should use it more since the weather is getting cold. and maybe i should bring a mug, except i'm paranoid that someone else would use it then break it or not clean it up, but then i would have chocolate and don't have to buy from canteen...

sometimes, i really hate how english is very subjective, especially creative. from full marks last year to like no marks this year...yeah, it fully depends on whose marking it.

i only found out on sunrise today that the moon was the closest it's been to the earth in 18 years! damnnnnnnn, why did i miss it yesterday? or maybe when o was driving it was covered by clouds, and before i went to sleep it was also covered in clouds...well i saw it for a bit today, at least, but it's apparently not as "close" today ):

the stillness

i'm pretty sure, this is the first time in my 17 years that both my parents have gone away from bro and I. usually it's children who go away from parents, like sleepovers/camps etcetc.

it's sooooo quite compared to yday. hopefully i can do more now, and catch up on work missed. monopoly deal gets really addictive when if your brother keeps winning...

and now, you realise how much your parents do when they're not here.
had dinner at church tonight, so i could have at least one "fresh" dinner.

i just hope i don't sleep in tomorrow.

also, i'm 95% sure they did not show Masterchef auditions in season 2 and 3. season 4's auditions involved people with "stories" i think if you didn't have a story or you didn't have a plan for the future you're cut. (like i think they were more lenient in season 1) but i only watched 15mins today, so i restricted myself! mainly because i wasn't ay home to watch the first episode....so that's why the ad's have a different setting, because top 50 is in melb not syd...

Relatives (:

i could hear them from across the street when i came back from tutor. apparently they waited for my parents for over an hour...

yayayay-for gifts when i don't ask for any!!!
ahhhhhhh, shoeeeees, like really really nice shoes. i love my aunts fashion sense, wedges, heels etc etc, they were like 2 for 70 hk bucks, which is appox 4 aussie bucks a pair, and they are soooo nice. like in aus, it would be around $60 AU no brands. each shoe has a story, like how she goes to the stores everyday to see if they have specials, and where she buys clothes from. only she can't stop talking...
i shall look at the SUITCASES of clothes and accessories. this aunt knows fashion better than my mum. really happy. unfortunately, it's winter now ): but, she said it's a fashion trend to wear stockings and wedges out. at least she brought over a pair of boots as well (: yay, enough shoes to last me over 10 different events (:

and then other gifts-BUT NO FOOD ))): apparently they wanted to clear customs fast, so not a but of food, luckily i asked for food when my uncle came a month ago...

annd, monopoly deal!!! yay!

pork ribs and steak tonight and fresh raw salmon. yummmmmmmmm! i love when people come over, house food becomes really really good

won't be able to do much work tonight. my has pack boxes of food for their camping tomorrow. it's quite funny. i can't imagine hk people going camping, which is probs why only half of them in will sleep in tents. when they go for a few days, i shall catch up on work.

my little cousin doesn't remember me, but she's not "afraid" of me. she's quite smart, told her once what she could play and where everything was, and she returned everything back into their positions. she's really innocent and was like "i feel like a doll, my dad puts so much clothes on me and it's terrible" but in chinese. maybe i should teach her more english...she has grown so much since i saw her in '10.

13 people in da house! still haven't seen my grandparents yet...probs sleeping...

May the 4th be with you (:

haha, get it? i like random jokes from monday assembly (even though i'm sure i've heard it in previous years), and some guys also bothered to bring light sabers today

yday during english, a guy was like "get it" to the Eng teacher, and she's like "of course i get it, i'm an english teacher," i bet they can decipher all those jersey names (maybe even those inside jokes, since they are english teachers after all)

and alsoooo, yesterday i went on a new train, like a NEW NEW TRAIN. it had a ding-dong to announce what station it is, then another when it arrives. it doesn't have those foot rest bars of the newer trains, and it's defs cleaner (since it's new), also, the arm rest thing on the side changed a bit, but the pattern of the seats are the same.

i think my jersey is bigger than the one i ordered, oh well, better big than small, maybe i can wear more layers underneath since they aren't that thick.

talking to career advisor was soo helpful. cleared up some stuff. did you know, she has her own baulko business card? i find it funny, business card for school...

and, in the grade photos, everyone is so small, i thought the actual photo would be bigger. i found two bucks left in the envelop of the muck up photo, i'm quite sure i put in correct money, obviously they didn't care about my two dollars, the muck up one is disappointingly small as well, not worth the money, at least my face is visible...

relatives tomorrow. going to be hectic.
house is still flooding with food everywhere. =/

Jerseys!

they finally came today. yayayayayay. ((((((((((:

i actually like the green (: and there were no mis prints (which was really the most scary thing i thought could happen)
except, the collar is weird, and there should have been more yellow (i feel ripped off for having more black, since colours are more expensive)  i guess simple is nice too (: and i think it's thinner than last year, and more tighter down the bottom than i would have liked, as in the cuffs around our wrist should be at the bottom of it (i think)

so much english change. ext 1 ):
also, eng adv new announcement...i screwed up mod a ): my mark would have been better with only just reading task...
it's kind of cute of eng has ranks on little cards...i can/will/hope (to) improve! (positive thinking from today's talk) some was kind of repetitive, but i guess it's good to hear stuff from psychologists...

i can't believe my uncle is going to lady gaga AGAIN tonight. he went into the "monster pit" yday, no he's going to sit back and enjoy the show tonight. maybe i can persuade him to come back to aus in june (even though he came in april and will come this again this week). i could say aus will yet again have different stages and people around etc, except i have a hsc to do, i think going to concerts should be the last thing on my mind...

mentally thinking/planning my meals for four days next week (kind of like camping when we thought about what we should eat....)

i kind of feel sorry for rachel when she stuffed up her NYADA audition. i think it might feel like that when we don't get the marks we want sometimes, so i could relate to GLEE tonight (except for the part when they say songs about geography-lol)

uncle going to lady gaga's concert today. you know those little disco balls, he made a masquerade mask out of it, the time he has on his hands....

it's finally raining (for a bit)! half the side of my car was covered in grass....

everything is happening on the 20th may:

-relatives leave
-ext 1 "excursion"
-salvos doornock appeal
and also church

whyyyyyyyyyy can't they be split up.

also, $65 for english excursions in may =/

last year, my ext 1 class always had an average above grade average. this time, only 3 people got above average in my class. and i wasn't one of them ): they should give us some consideration since our teacher was away half the time ): this sucks.

when i straighten my hair, i don't do it properly, it like slightly bends towards the end. i think permanently straight hair is nice, except it won't be as special as straightening it once in a while.

my family has eaten quote a lot of jelly bellys already.

they shouldn't have trolled us with jerseys coming. i think it's more exciting when someone tells you something you haven's anticipated.
