High Tea with Mum (:

it was soooooooo good (:  i've never been inside the Tea Room, except it was sooo pretty (: one of my dreams of having high tea at the QVB has come true!!! ((((((:

you can't share, which sucks, so each person has to pay for something, and they put two person's food on one stand. the stand itself didn't look like much, but after we finished, we were soooo full. if you go with three people, they put it all on one stand, except the stand is fatter, so it isn't as pretty...

i had chai tea. it smelt soooo nice. i love their tea because it isn't bitter. i don't like tea bags since they are really bitter. my mum had rose tea and it smelt lovely (they didn't have cherry tea so mum was ): ) yum.....i can still taste the tea and spice in my mouth....

and i had my first professional macaron. it was pistachio flavoured and you get bursts of the nut in tiny bites. yumyumyumyumyum. that was my fifth macaron. the four before were all homemade.

everyone sits there for more than 1.5 hours, so that is a reason why high tea is expensive, because it's slow, and money comes in closer. there were quite a lot of people though. actually, mainly women, and occasionally an old husband. i saw 2 young husbands, and only 1 boy, and 1 uni guy. yeah, everyone else there was female lolololol.

people who don't finish their food-it's such a waste. i would totes grab it off their stand, but obviously it's not right to.....had soo much tea.

the cheese smelt so nice, and everything was good. yeah, it was worth the money, it didn't look like it at first, but when you think about it, a macaron is $2.50, a scone is $3.50, tea is $6.5, yeah it all adds up (: the scone is deceiving. it looks really light, but when you pick it up, it's quite

i wanted a window table, but then we realised the tables there were smaller and couldn't spread stuff out, and were sunnier....

yumyumyum

my camera was sticky after =/

and seriously, i went towers this morning and yesterday and city today, and over 20 stores in total, and formal dresses are sooooooo expensive. i couldn't even find lisa ho today in the city. and myer's dresses aren't even that nice. there are so little discounts compared to last year and stocktake sale....and they weren't even nice.

and i bought my formal dress today, and it was a bit over budget. i'm really picky. i usually buy branded formal dresses, but branded dresses don't look that nice/ are 1000$, and you can't even see the brand....it's quite plain though.....and then i went to another store and found a dress that i would have bought since it was cheaper, even though that dress wasn't on sale....it was peach though, i don't even know if peach matches me...i have to get over the fact the not all branded dresses are nice...

so mixed feelings...maybe i should have just gotten the cheaper dress even though it wasn't on discount...except i have seen 5+ people on fb with that dress, just in different colours.. but if i gain weight during HSC period, then i am really screwed. so i should start losing weight after January....

i wanted a unique dress, except i've been looking for 2 days straight, over 20 stores, so i guess i just bought it since i know i won't have any other time.....

unique dresses are expensive. like bridesmaid dresses are nice and for formals, but it's enough for me to go hk....

but i'm happy

except i haven't done any work for three days...

this year has passed soooooooo fast (i think i am abusing "so") as in, the fastest year of my life, so far...

good year though (i think...)

i'm soo glad i don't watch trailers before the movie, because it spoils it. like mission:impossible, when the explosion happens, it's better not to know than watch the trailer and know.
2 nights, 2 movies

Puss in Boots was really good as well (: he's so ngawwwww (: and i liked their story line (: with other childhood characters. it was a tad awkward watching with little kids and their parents

looked at soo many dresses today. some weren't even nice and were expensive =/
there was this one dress that fit nicely and was ok, except it was hot pink =/

and i bought a ghd case today!!! it was cheaper in store than online, for once....
and what happened to Lisa Ho at towers? i think it closed down...
and i bought a formal dress today, which was more than 50% discounted (: i'm soo glad i didn't buy much yesterday so i could use that money to buy a dress (:
yayay, dresses, i shall keep looking out for them...

and i have done no work in the last 2 days, and also i know no work will be done in the coming 3 days. and 4 days next week.

had KFC again today, soo fat ):
i'm soo sad that the boost outside Event computer didn't work ): i didn't get my point )))))))))))))):

and just realised something bad about having 3G...fuarrr, why didn't 3 tell me it needed internet, i thought it was free...
i am 100% glad i have free internet now since if i accidentally used something, it won't cost my parents $2/mb....
first time going over in a phone cap, and it wasn't even talking on the phone adfghjkl. yes, and i am glad i didn't buy much yesterday, so i could use my shopping money to pay the phone bills :'((((((((( oh wells, i guess having a 19cap is good, because everyone else is on a 29cap and each month they pay 10 more than me, so in the three months, they pay 30 more than me, so it kind of makes up for my accidentally used data.......?

so that's why they changed the movie from 6.50 to 7 and changed it from cinema 6 to vmax.

because Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol was SOOOOOOO GOOOOD =D like sherlock holmes good (: and there were quite a lot of people, but it wasn't noisy (: Benjit is soo funny (:
and they ALL HAVE IPHONES/IPADS!!!! yayayayay

i remember when vmax first came out, is was only a dollar extra, now it's 3, but it was worth it since they did the sounds pretty good and the movie had good sounds.

i love good intense movies with humour and cool gadgets (:

and i wish i was taller so i can buy pretty, long, cheap, branded formal dresses.....
everything i saw today at DFO either didn't fit me/ none of my size, so i didn't buy much...

why do guys like Skyrim soooo much..?

unproductive day ):

mental-writing block...

i really should stop eating junk food/ outside house food/ bbq food eteetc because my face is going to explode... ):

and my mum was cleaning out stuff and now i have a stack of scrap paper to use =D

and google was the coolest this year during xmas (:

also, i'm kind of glad we re-gifted one can of our "Poppycock" since we have been eating our can for a week, and haven't even gone half way...

didn't go boxing day sales this year, because i woke up past 11....
i remember last year i went, it was super duper crowded, with people fighting over stuff. like in Guess, people were literally fighting over handbags, and Guess isn't on of those "more expensive" branded stuff...
and last year, the day after boxing day, i saw at towers that they had the same stuff on sale, just not as much...

so i didn't do anything today except eat. and i had KFC! haven't had it in soooo long....

and the part just under my shoulders hurt, must be the impact from hitting the water yday...

and we have enough chocolate to last us the whole year, which means, if we don't share it to other people, then we have to chuck some out since we get heapsss of chocolate during easter as well...

and ayayayay! new plan starts today. free facebook and internet! my iPhone can actually act like an iPhone now. as well as news and weather (which is not on voda, so i am still sticking with 3 because i like my news, even though we order the newspaper....)

and a few days ago, i realised that Maps on doesn't need internet, how convenient (: and also, i was just introduced to Viber, i am so slow, EVERYONE GET IT SO I CAN CALL/TEXT YOU FOR FREE (:
but i have heaps of credit (well for me its plenty...) so you don't really need to get viber....

and i just saw photos of relatives in hk and their xmas party.....their ham was MASSIVE. like the guy had a special wooden structure to help him cut the ham. it looked like...10 textbooks piled on top of each other...i don't know....

Merry Christmas (: + Mosman Beach

Christmas service was nice (: i love singing xmas carols. the sermon was really good/cute since it was suited for primary kids. the pastor had a pass the parcel with envelopes inside with verses (:

last year they had eng and chinese congregation at the same time but in different halls, this year they separated the times...

and when i came back, my family friend was like, do you want to go to the beach, and we were like ok (:

i don't think i got tanned too much. except my right arm kind of hurts.... :S haven't been to a sydney beach for a while..
Mosman beach: you can actually swim, since there's no waves. so we brought out boogie board for nothing, except just to float on....i like riding waves (:
luckly, they had platforms which we could jump off, about 3m. it was soooooo ridiculously fun, except when you climb up the ladder, it's filled with moss oceany stuff. except it's safe. the adrenaline on your first jump (: except i can't stand salt water, so i didn't jump as much as i would have in pool water.

and the boys played cod and nerf guns all afternoon and night, so i didn't do any work, not even read ):

bbq was nice (: no turkey this year ):
i really miss my uncle's xmas parties in hk, he has a real christmas tree, xmas stocking filled with yummy yummy goodies, swapping presents with family, ham, turkey, custard, xmas pudding, fruit mince pies, gingerbread, etcetc, aka THE LOT. i shall experience that again next year

my dad forgot to zoom in.....):

it's almost 12 and they still haven't left, and they live in the city....

Jesus is a small package, great gift (:

and also, i missed seeing the cherrybrook christmas firetruck this year
i only heard it ):

and yday was the first time i was a passenger in the car looking at christmas lights in the car.

and our family friend gave us a hugggge ham

i didn't really get Howl's moving castle....

triple posting in one day, that's a first....
i have a busy schedule next week =/

have to wake up early tomorrow...

just dance 3 is soooo fun (: and the songs are really good. i spent 3hours playing that yday at friends house (: and i interacted with 3 dogs yday (:

and i "fasted" for 24hours today. just didn't feel like anything, so i had dinner today. it must have been from all the junk food i had yday......

and i made macarons today =D donnay hay packet mix, i shall attempt proper ones after the HSC, and i really need to invest in a proper sieve and piping bags. like i was sieving the packet for half an hour(no joke)through thus tiny sieve i have...it said to sieve, so i followed the instructions....normally i don't sieve cos it's too time consuming ):


and yay! my mum and my favourite dancer won on sytycd!! yayay for Melanie, she is sooo good <3

and howls moving castle is on, i don't think i've seen the whole movie before...and my dad found it on sbs2, so i am starting to watch half way...

and the Outdoor wedding i went to last month:

 steps going down and comfy seats (:

and i have nothing today, not good. woke up soooo late today ):
i'm in a tv watching mood.

Busy/ fun / tiring day today.
Soooo full right now

I'll post properly when I'm on my laptop. The font looks so wierd on phone... And I played with Siri today (:

i have found 2 places to look for formal dresses

i wanted to start doing english stuff today but i ended up playing words with friends. if only people thought faster....it's such a slow game, except it's the next best thing when no one wants to play Scrabble with you....my poor board games sitting abandoned on the shelf...

and i just had a sudden urge to go towers just then since it closes at midnight...

and one of my english text is essays complied into a book and it just rambles on and on and on....soooo boring, even shakespeare is more interesting, no joke

and i somehow decided to read the iPhone manual, i actually learnt stuff that i didn't know (:

any yay for free movie tickets from milk (: now i just have to get a credit card....

nooooooooooooooo accidently clicked on timeline on fb, and now it's sooooooooo ugggggggggggly and everyone will see the ugliness in 7days )))))))))))))))))))))))))))):

and i haven't started ext2, not good, not good.

and i can't believe my mum is letting me buy a ghd case. they are not worth what they look like.....but it's kind of a cheap xmas prezzie, i guess, since all my other xmas prezzies and bday gifts from yr7-10 have been $100+.....

finally put batteries for our xmas lights (: i have hardly seen any lights up this year, only the house around the corner does it full it year after year....

i really love this weather. i don't have to waste electricity on air-con and my skin doesn't go as dark as it usually does during summer....not too cold and not too hot (:

oh woops, i told my mum that roadtrip as 2nights instead of 3 nights....i'll tell her after i pay for it (:

AND I FINALLY FIGURED HOW TO CALL INTERNATIONALLY!!!! yayayay, i could have just asked my mum how, except i resorted to google which was harder to find how.... but now when i go overseas i have credit to use and i don't have to waste the monthly credit (: but that is for next year....
i called my grandma's house to see if it worked, but ended the call before anyone could pick up....

i have been sooo busy these paast 2 days, and it did not involve any school work D=
today: went to someone's house, then chiropractor, then dentist. and pennant hills library has free wifi!!! castle hill does except you have to do something before you can connect with phones on it...
yday: optometrist, movie, prefume smelling

hopefully tomorrow i can get started on some work....

breaking dawn was better than i expected, because i have low expectations for it, and i think the baby part was done quite well.
except, nothing happened in the movie, i just watched the trailer, it tells you what you need to know: wedding, honeymoon, pregnant, fight, becomes a vampire

and i finally bought Tripview (: it's sooooooo good (: i can now finally save trips unlike the lite version (((: it's the first app i've wanted to buy. ally the apps my bro buys are all games...

and this is sooooooo cool: santa with Siri
Siri is soo cool, except whenever i use it (which has only been twice), it's always noisy and doesn't work properly.

only one thing done on my 20+things to do on my to-do list ):

i love getting branded paper and using/trying different perfumes. now my wallet is going to smell nice (: must watch more movies before december or else money is going to be wasted....

and i want to have high tea (: just a sudden craving before dinner....and i had one of those christmas boosts today, it wasn't that sweet which was good (:

ahhhh, still don't have a physical to-do list, only a mental one ):

i spent 1 hour going through the boxes of clothes today....

and 3 WHOLE HOURS cleaning and filing my sheets ): but now i know where everything is (:

why don't people respond to texts?

i have taken going to Jambaroo off my to-do list, and maybe go to Harry Potter exbo.

should i go on a road trip with people? 3days two nights of no study....

and i finished Inheritance (: the part before the end is really good, then i don't like the ending...he takes 3 years to write a book, so when he starts on the new series, i would have hopefully finished my HSC, so i can read for fun.
the trilogy i bought a few months back won't probably be read until this time next year....

the sacrifices i have to make way for my study which i need to start....

four days of intense reading, 70 pages to go. not worth it, only 30 pages is actually good, but must finish...

and i'm happy (: free news/weather finally works on my phone, after consulting with curries over the phone for half an hour, and changed to the new 19cap (: it's a bit more expensive in terms of calling rates, but i never use all my money so i don't care.

and no, i don't want to accept your "Christmas offer" of having 4s or galaxy 2 for 19 bucks. it's probs with an addition $50 each month...
and no, i don't want to pay 20cap a month and get more benefits, since they probs will be like, pay an extra amount on top of the cap...

went carlo today, haven't been for a while....

and boxes of clothes from cos (: and she has only wore them a few times, and some are new (:

no time to write to do list ): must finish book....

Actual Last Day of Year 11

this year has passed sooooooooooooooooooo quickly. i still remember the beginning of the year, so much has happened....

of course i went to the last day of school, i haven't missed any days this year, except for study leave, so my attendance is still 100%, just like last year (:

actually did stuff in phys and maths, but the rest of the day was just sitting and talking (:

it's nice to see people, even for a little while (:
and first time having Criniti's today (: i don't think i'll go for a long time, now when i think about it, the only special thing is it is 1m. it tasted all right, but i have had better pizza....

so i think thanks to 3 state ranks for chem, i got scaled up (:  .......i still don't really get scaling....

i shall post a to do list tmr (if i remember....it is sooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooooooong)

but have a good break everyone (: it's technically our last school summer holidays :')

i wonder if there will ever be another school which beats ruse....

nsb really fluctuates, two year ago they weren't in the top ten and three years ago they were, and now this yr they're 2nd....
their success rate for maths is close-ish with ruse, surprisingly....

i love looking for people's name in the newspaper, which is like size 2 or maybe size 1 font.

it is really amazing how smart some people are, so i think they are my role models, so are super duper smart white people (:

christmas prefect concert was quite nice (:

and i didn't have any class today, and left early during period 8 because apparently there wasn't any scripture :S

maybe i should do another subject at talent next yr since the two of the six 99.95 at my school went there....

content.
not proud/sad/angry but content.
my heart kind of jumped when i was logging in this morning. and i avoided my chem teacher today so he didn't have to ask how i went, he can just find out himself without talking to me...does that make sense?
i really expected band 4 since i didn't do the calculation questions properly and didn't do some of the option properly.
i think, maybe for these two units, scaling worked to my favour...or else i may have gotten under band 4.....
i've spent over an hour today on the board of studies website, it's actually quite fun (:
it's amaaaaazing how smart people are. like the white private school guy who topped 4U and another language which mainly private schools offer. apparently he didn't get tutored in maths according to the newspaper...i would have totes done latin if i was offered the chance in y7.

and today was results overload. for once in my life i did better in 3U than 2U, except 2U should be better since it's technically easier....

lost a mark for writing "This enhances...." in phys. it's the equivalent to my ): when i wrote sin I instead of sin i.

and viva voce, expecting 5/10. she was staring at me boredly because i was babbling to myself in a round circle.....?

phys hw ))): due tomorrow but i'll still be doing it tomorrow and during my frees... there is sooo much....

and secret santa. i'm just happy i didn't get chocolates/pencil cases. a chick got me for grade, and for group, i shall attempt those cupcakes after HSC (:

don't want tomorrow to come.

i am soooo scared i am going to get band 3, and then when i bump into my teacher tomorrow he'll be like "how did you go" and i'll be like.....awks...
i say to myself i will do better in other subjects, but what if i don't?! then my atar....
wow, no Ruse first places this year. and the people who topped maths seem to have non-asian last names....impressed.

and the girl who topped chem, i kind of know her, friend of a friend... she is sooo smart. she did accelerated 4U maths. so she did her 4U hsc in yr 11 :O well that's what i heard.... and i'm surprised chem was tied first. which means chem was easy to other people.....? and the person who came first in geo is also a friend of a friend except i haven't seen her in real life...

maths is already hard....but accelerated maths is like super wowow....

mainly most of the people who are first placed come from private schools.
baulko has two first places (:
except first places doesn't mean that school is good, cos i bet ruse is still ranked first since everyone is supppper smart there. it's kind of sad how some superr smart people can't do 4U maths....
it would be a miracle if i ever got a state rank.
i want to read and see the first places for ext2 and va.

also, viva voce tomorrow ):
concept is still not clear. :'( probs cos i've only done minimal amounts of research...

i wasn't alone in any of my classes today. only ext 1 with my friend and i, kind of felt like...private tutoring...?

but i hope to have present tomorrow (:

and my bro's report came in the mail today. should have opened it when i had the chance since he won't let me look at it...
they come in the mail because the boys apparently photoshop/burn/destroy their reports so their prents can't see...

time to clear up my concept in less than 3 hours...

i can clearly see why half our class has dropped ext 2.
THE RESEARCH!!!  ):  it is quite troublesome, actually it's very time consuming which makes it troublesome because i could be reading right now....and then to actually make your thoughts into words is hard as well....

i am going to get a bogan Jap mark, no jokes....
it's really depressing....
maybe i should have watched anima back in those days....i really can't hear... ):
and the teacher is all like "don't worry, it's only 7.5 of your HSC" of course she tells me not to worry, it's not her HSC
i don't get how people survive and how people can top all their subjects....

and chem...):

i can forsee my atar already... and people say it's hard to get under 95....

i feel so anti-social these days....but if become more social, then my atar would go under....90 (?) well, i could just get a life in uni

this sounds so sad.

Dad's Annual Work Dinner

happened to be on the same day as Happy Apple's Party, so i couldn't go to both ): i hate missing out on parties....

well, my dad was like, it's a jap restaurant in North Sydney, and when we got there i was like "hey, iv'e been here before, went int yr 9 or 10 for jap excursion and this girls' chicken was raw.

i think it's coz we were school kids so they care less about us back then.

but the food was really good today (: had all the traditional jap type of beef and meat etcetc.
and i had so many mocktails <3
and then the Christmas present aka money from the boss is always good.

so many people from my school go to my church's youth group....

another unproductive day....should have started to re-do eng ext 2...

i still haven't decided if i should check my results on wed morning or at night after tutoring.... i know i won't be happy with my result, fully failed....waste of tutoring money.... ):

which may result in a bogan atar....

wow, i haven't done anything today ): i wanted to re-do my viva voce...

except my mum came with me to get a coke can with my name on it (((: finally something with my name (:

and i read Inheritance for the whole day today. i'm such a slow reader... ):

and polar express and Mao's Last Dancer <3

#300. Unhappy

i don't know where to start.
i did crap, bad, horrible.

well 3U: it's quite intimidating with the maths head teacher over your desk looking at your stopwatch. he was probably secretly shaking his head since he saw i couldn't do the induction. both of them!!!! ))))))))))))))))): i did over 20+ inductions like the night before, and i still couldn't do it. ):

my brain doesn't work in exam conditions. maybe i should start doing hw in exam conditions. like, my brain literally just blanks.

during 2U reading time, i was like: oh, this is actually do-able, maybe i can get 90%. reading time=false hope. fully screwed it. i got all these random fractions for my a's and d's and all my answers were wrong ): know i am going to get a bogan maths mark and my rank is going to be more horrible than what it was...

and i am the type of person who falls into the trap of trick questions. physics: time wasn't an issue, except i didn't know answers to some of them )))))))): and question 4. afbhdfdskahfdkja can't frikken believe i got tricked/didn't read the questions properly. and then, i think i forgot all the key words in my answers ):

and English. the question wasn't hard so that means everyone is going to do good and average will be high and i have a higher chance of being under average....my hand dies after one essay. in about 7 months time, i will have to write 3 essays non-stop, annnd memorise them.....it takes me like a day to memorise an essay....

Jap: can someone please tell me how to study for it? everytime before some jap thing, i only look at stuff the night before. i wish i could improve my listening. maybe i should have watched jap dramas back in yr9/10 to improve listening....

so, my mum was talking to someone else's mum, and he said his son, who was smart but had 2 fish oils everyday and now is supppppper smart. i think i should start having fish oils to improve my veryveryvery slow brain.
i can't stop thinking that i am going to get a bogan atar and a bogan chem mark and that all the tutoring money will go to waste ))))):

i am going to study super hard in the hols (well i will try)

also, supppppper said that Happy Apple's party is on the same day as dad's work dinner )))): i wish i could go to both....but it's kind of impossible....

and i watched the whole episode of sytycd today. wow, i want to try and walk in Gaga's shoes......now i actually have time to read Inheritance before i read eng ext which i was supposed to finish a month ago and before i do my viva voce which is on wed...actually i think i should properly re-do it since i did my first draft just for the sake of handing something in.....now time to read and think of something substantial....

still super upset. i don't fell relief these days after exams.....i think i study hard, but obviously my marks tell me otherwise. maybe i should swap fb pw with my bro. i did that last year for sc.... but not for yr11/12 :/

)))))): i think i should go re-study for what i have studied this week. i need to study a month before for my exams, i think.

oh, and this girl from ruse said the guy whose coming first in jap at ruse carries a grammer dictionary wherever he goes lololol....which makes me think, do ruse people carry maths textbooks whereever they are?
maybe i should do that to somehow absorb the textbook knowledge...

but i know i will have to study hard. oh, also, i didn't even need to charge my phone the whole week since i'm so anti-social and i don't have to call my mum to pick me up from places. the convenience of having your P's

and congrats for reading up to here. this is the place where i rant about my ))))))))))))))))))))): hopefully half-yearly, term 2 assessments and trials will have a bit of (: and hsc will be (((((((((((((:
i think that will be my goal.
and also to be above average for everything. i know i am not the type 99.95, actually i knew even when i started high school that i wouldn't have a 100UAI because i have a slow brain....

kind of glad dancing finished last week so i wouldn't have to miss dancing this week...

so, when i was procrastinating yesterday, i decided to try the "amazing race" game on our church website.
basically you click on an icon which leads you to another web page and you have to answer to ques.
so i thought, I HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING THIS! since last year's comp was taking a photo, and i don't like editing photos so i was like ceebs....

i was clicking around and one of the questions was: how many bookshelves does the library have?
so they want me to go counting bookshelves in the library :S

and also, what does the church library key tag look like?
how am i supposed to know? i don't even know whose in charge of the library keys ):

so my chances of winning kind of fell.....i think....

and i hope (this is kind of impossible) to have no loan when i buy my first house so i don't have to worry about loan repayments etcetc
(or i could just hire an accountant to do the maths for me)
I HATE MONEY MATHS!!!!!!!!!!
i get it and then don't. hoping the hard questions tomorrow don't involve hard finance ques...

jeans and jacket in summer, this is a first.
but i much prefer this weather than 30+ degree heat, as it means we can save electricity from not using air-cons.

i think my essay sucks more each time i read it ):

this morning i was lol-ing because the guy across the road spends two hours each week cleaning 2 cars, and then ten minutes later it was pouring rain.
the things i notice when doing phys....
so the two cars we park outside our house got a free car wash (:

i don't get why people spend so much time on their gardens/ washing cars....

the house that's on the corner near my house, sold their house in 2.5 weeks.

that is suppppppppper fast. like our neighbours tried selling their house for like 8 months and failed. i think they will try again, since they renovated their bathroom....

well, i think it's cheap (if i had the money) since it's like 850m square for 780 000 $ while the house at the top of my hill is approx 450m square for 650 000. well, obviously i would buy the bigger house, except the bigger house is split level and has 3 bedrooms while the smaller house is single level with 4 bedrooms.

go figure.

acutally, it's coz the bigger house has quite a large front yard (which is quite pointless unless you like gardening like the house opposite who the man gardens for min an hour a day.

yes, the things i notice during pre-exam week....
