Korean Dinner on a School Night with the Fam.

well, it's a first going out for dinner eating korean food.

bro didn't go cause he has "exams" tomorrow, as in he has yr 11 geo, except he's still on fb and 9gag and etcetc...

sooooo spicy. and apparently it was hardly spicy to my uncle/cousin.
out of house food is not helping my face.

i feel really fat
BUT
i got my retainers today. they don't look very appealing to wear ))): the thing which will motivate me to wear them is this:
when i have them one=i won't be able to eat= i am too lazy to take them off every time i eat something= i will eat less= hopefully loose some weight...
i have a feeling that one of my teeth moved. the retainers look like perfect teeth, except on of my teeth doesn't feel perfect. how can one tooth move in 4 days...maybe i'm just feeling it wrong (hopefully that didn't sound wrong...)

so much to do D=

Food when relatives come

yummmm.

had yum cha today, and there was a huge traffic jam and we had to wait 30mins before going in ): like, it was only a normal place (as in not in city), must be because of mother's day...

yesterday i had: mud crab, lamb cutlets, scotch fillet steak, oyster, baked chicken, buffalo chicken and other stuff. i feel so fat right now.
every dinner so far is gooooood (:

four relatives already left this morning. didn't even say bye...they only stayed for 4.5 nights...

and my uncle just told us about how for $80 US last year in like june/july, he and other people went on a 4day 3night tour to america and its popular places with everything included. how cheappppp! it's like the beijing cheapness as well....

rahhh, how to cut stuff down?

i kind of wanted to go to the fashion weekend.

BUT, this morning, i was forced by my aunt to look at clothes, and she just went on explaining how to wear each piece and what it should go with etcetc....as much as i love clothes, i really don't need an explanation, so my mum had to interfere to let me go back to do work....

will look at the massive stack sometime...some are kind of fobby, so i'll just give those to my mum...

google mother's day is so cute (:

happy mother's day mum!
i think i've explained this before, but i don't get my parents anything, since its their money so they're technically buying themselves a present...so i give them my love (:

Day Early Mother's Day Dinner

17 people all together eating dinner. so hectic. but foood was sahhhhhhhh gooood.

like my mum's friend can really really nicely cook lamb cutlets.

one of my manymanymanymany cousins (still haven't seen all my cousin yet...)

they went blue mountains today, and she got this face paint. it's realllly well done, like there's glitter and stuff. 

she's really smart. first time i heard this, it's kind of hard to translate from chinese but it was like: use should eat more of the sour cherries (below) since you would have more good grandchildren. actually in canto, it sounds like this: "mama, se dao di 'soon' che le ji, nei hui yao dao di gwai 'soon'" and she can translate all the canto words i don't know into english (i actually can't translate all my english words in canto) and she knows like the same level mando as me =/

they also went to costco (so i missed out) and bought a massive cake, and tons of food. tis massive-2.4kg. afternoon tea for the rest of the week

so much left overs from today. they're still here.

Late Night Icecream

gave up my precious study time (approx three hours) to go to double bay to have this ice cream. it used to be there, then moved to the city, then moved back to a smaller shop in double bay.

yum. everytime my relatives come, it's tradition to go and have this icecream. even my grandma has had this over 5 times now...

took a wrong turn on the way home, and well, went through so many toll roads which means a lot of money wasted...

decided to go since it isn't everyday you can go out with relatives and have icecream in the city (:

Braceless =D

finally, after a painful 2 years and 1 month:

first thing i ate were nuts. not supposed to eat the, except during the 2 years, i still ate a few...

it was quite painful getting them off. well, the glue part was. ahhh, was it worth it? losing four teeth and get so much pain? idk.

my teeth look different (well of course!) but as in, the shape of my teeth look bigger than i remembered them to be. now i have to learn to smile again...if that makes sense...

they do feel different. but i'm kind of dreading wearing retainers...

and i'm so glad the m60 guy asked me where i was going, because he saw me running franctically from the hornsby to parra stand. that bus was going to hornsby, luckily i didn't go on it...it's sometimes quite frustrating going on a bus when you know you can drive...

it was my cousin's graduation today. 85% of why relatives came was for her graduation. everyone was super nice, like one uncle bought her a burberry handbag, another a LV handbag, another a real expensive watch and other stuff + flowers. it's cause her mum passed away when she was like 5, and when her younge brother was a few months, so even though everyone hates her dad's attitudes/thinking, they still love children, and came allll the way from hk to take pics with her. and my uncle got an extra two tics by asking (: 

thank you dear friends for helping me with my maths! i felt like crying today because i couldn't do 2U motion. idk, i felt really bad in maths. even looking at people's working is really helpful (: i kind of hate it when my maths teaching does her marking during class, it's like us doing english in maths, and then she goes off on a tangent about sharing files, and then there's like 3 mins to ask her questions. i'm so glad i can ask smart people, who sometimes, can explain faster than the teacher.

and Happy Apple is so compassionate (:

my cousin says such innocent things in canto which cannot be translated into english, i think she's quite smart, she can communicate with me in english (and when i was in primary, i thought 

ooft, falling behind in assessment work...

yay for 12 other people in the house being kind enough to not talk and let me get some work done (:

face exploding more, that pork crackling, but twas nice...

Last Zone Cross Country

came 23 out of 23. consecutively last for two in years in a row at zone cross country!
yeah, i only ran when people saw me, and even then, i was kind of huffing. i. am. so. unfit. so i decided to walk the whole thing. (so sad, i lost my little 23 ticket when i was walking back to my car)

i was paranoid after the race that i dropped my car keys, except i just left them in my bag, phew...it was kind of lol, since the people at the finish line took forever to find the 18 girls ticket book...

NO ONE WALKS LIKE MY PACE WHEN I WALK CROSS COUNTRY. when i walk x-country, i snail pace walk, slower than how i walk in school shoes with school bag. it's really weird. i think i wore my bad socks. but when people say they walk, they still run a bit. yeah, i was observing people....

annnd, i asked the sports teacher do i still get points for coming last. she didn't answer directly, but said that the whole school looses 80 POINTS if someone doesn't participate. and she said that ruse only 2 people that didn't turn up. other schools had a whole team (almost) who don't turn up.

but with zone, there's so much to come with it, that i would rather walk it for these things: goes on your report, can get half a stamp, award at recognition assembly...oh, as well as exercise (:

and didn't have to pay for parking, cause the machine was out of order....totally winged it there....gps didn't work so i just drove on all the main roads/ follow cars, since most cars go to the main roads. and the occasional signs, and just follow my instincts (: soooooo much road contruction everywhere, and driving at 80 feels very good. usually i only drive at 60 ))): that i why i love going on big roads, and when big roads slope down.....and, people are so nice :') this person flashed their lights at me like three times. so i thoguht police, but i kept driving for a minute and couldn't see any, but finally, turning out onto main road, a whole carpark of police cars who caught another carpark of people, wow, they are dedicated to catching people in the middle of the day. the thing with unfamiliar roads is that you also don't know where all the cameras are...

one things now that i think back on today is that i should have tried to run it and see how i would do. but i was just too ceeeebs, i guess....

they're backkk!
my parents ditched me for....80 hours.
actually, i kind of feel good since kids always get to go on hols, but not parents. you really truly realise how much they do for you.

they brought back a lot of the food that they didn't eat.

sahhh hectic. haven't done anything all night. have to help out and arghh, the noise....

so sick of using the microwave. my face is exploding due to the lack of vegetables...

Food from teachers

first time using the study room microwave!
i really should use them more to my advantage.

yesterday, we got a cheese toasted sandwich in Jap because we said we were hungry and it was cold. that was like a period gone, i'm pretty sure i know why i'm failing jap....
today i got two lollipops in ext 1 to keeps us going through the double/day.

yayayay! free food from teachers! totes not awks...i'm on a roll guys!
i kind of missed those days back at girra where we helped pack away teacher's friday morning tea. i susally got picked, which meant freeeee fooooood!!!! from teachers...

can't believe that in top 50, people are already going to places. in season 3 it was like top 24, season 2 top 12, and season 1 top 8 (where they went hk, to this yum cha place i went to, except i have to go back there again since they ran out of their hand made bbq pork bus when i went last time. i'm still sad. i actually don't really like those buns, but they appeared in masterchef 4 years ago, and i do intend to have them in the future)
oh, and i found my list of places to eat again! yay.
and, i believe, this season has been the most multicultural season. like compared with season 1, there was like only 3 non-white people...

hoping i don't get lost tomorrow.

so veggie deprived. tis what happens when there are no parents for 3 days and you ceebs to go out just to buy some veggies. i have fruit, at least....
