following the post the day before formal:
1 didn't happen
2 definitely happened. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO A PHOTO WITH THE LIMO. and it was just gay that it rained.
3 didn't happen
it was nice dressing up. only had to pay for my dress, earrings, formal itself, photographer, hair and make-up, limo
shoes, clutch, bracelet, ring all from home.
it was nice apart from the rain. actually, the venue wasn't that great. at least the dj was better than camp, but i didn't "dance" much since i didn't want to ruin my hair, and get my dress ripped by fist pumping guys.
took 2gb worth of photos, 400+ photos.
food wasn't that great. didn't get to see everyone's dresses since we were all just packed into a verandah, and couldn't move around much.
was so surprised that tess's dad came after formal to give us all a cd. still have yet to look at it...but thanks!
went on a bus, taxi, limo, car that day.
go on fb for photos. ceebs uploading here.

Wedding and Dad's Work Dinner
my first wedding where the bride had FIVE bridesmaid. usually asian people have less than white people, since one bridesmaid cost a lot in terms of dress, hair, make-up etc.
on average, people have 2. she has three sisters, plus 2 friends = 5 bridesmaid.
her dress is by far the most sparkly dress i've seen for a wedding. it was just so glittery. not bling/jewelled, but just glitter, meshy, puffy wedding dress material. and they kissed for so long it was just lol. but they did their vows in canto =/ 1st time i've seen a young couple saying their vows in canto.
and it was an after lunch wedding (to obviously save money on food). but they had a "candy bar" to represent how their love is super sweet. it was super cute, first time seeing a "candy bar" where they had bags, and you could "take away". i remember in 2010, i went to an arvo wedding, and all they had was one cupcake and one drink each. at least today you had free reign of the snacks.
i wear a different dress to each wedding. and i still haven't repeated! yay! still have heaps of other unworn dresses to go to weddings in my wardrobe (: and i collect wedding invites + programs. the talk was pretty good. apparently he was my first ever maths tutor which i went to in primary for a month then stopped =/ don't remember
the work dinner was about three weeks earlier than normal since everyone is going overseas.
i finally satisfied my shark fin soup craving, but it had crab in it, so it was a bit different. and yes, i know what happens to the shark. my rich uncle explained to me once for half an hour, but he didn't convert me into stop eating it.
14 course meal.
received 1/7 of an hk iphone 5. go figure.
I SAW FIREWORKS ON THE HARBOUR BRDIGE IN THE CAR COMING BACK HOME. it was really cool, cause they were literally next to you, and the loud sounds it makes, esp when you open the window (:
i still haven't told my mum why i secretly don't want to go hk.
don't have time to even blog about formal/schoolies, yet even put photos up.
it seems the mail didn't fail me.
too scared to ask other people. because people will always secretly judge you/hate you/love you

apple once a year sale
i have to double post, no idea how i will get this all out.
thanks ophelia for the party and food! it was really nice.
good seeing girra peeps.
anyways,
so i managed to fit in some time to go to the apple store beforehand for their once a year sale. mind you, apple stores itself never has sales. I WAS FULL HOPING IPHONE 5 WOULD GO ON SALE. but ofc it wouldn't be since it was new. guess i'll have to wait for hk, if i ever get there...
I FINALLY TOUCHED AN IPAD MINI. i actually quite like it since my hands are small, so it fits better than normal ipad, and it's lighter. the ipad w/retina display is wow, it is really ever so clear. and the new macbook pro is sooooo thin. and i thought my mac was already thin. then you have retina display and it's amazing. EVERYONE GET A MAC! they are so user friendly, and really good. like, my laptop still can shut off in 2-3 secs, and load in 10secs. and it's almost 2 years old. not going to get another laptop until after uni, don't want to waste my money.
but my "heart melted" when i touched the new ipod touch. that was the most surprising. it is sooooooooo light, like paper, and so thin. the photos of it make it seem fatter than it actually is. maybe because in photos it's a close up so it seems bigger. and i finally tried the beats by dr dre headphones today. hey they are pretty good, except isn't is really bulky to carry around? and the new nano is also thinner than my nano (which i haven't touched for almost 2 years...)
i actually like this new set of colours, my pastelly, compared to the bright "chromatic" ipods.
retina display is truly amazing. lol, my dad wants to buy an ipad, but i', not sure if he even knows how to use one. there was so many old people buying ipads and touches. some for their wives and they were persuading their wives to let them buy one, other bought 2/3 touches, probs for their gran kids.
yay apple!

Life Changing Decisions
ok, first of all before my formal and schoolies post.
i only told 6 people, but then somehow 20+ other people found out as well.
i still can't help thinking about it. at the briefing on wed, i already knew i had no chance. even if i spoke well, there will ALWAYS be someone better. i guess i'm just disappointed that i didn't try harder. my interview was actually really bad and awkward.
it was supposed to be 20mins, but mine was 15. i just didn't know what to say. THEY ARE NEVER SUPPOSED TO GO UNDER TIME. ALWAYS OVERTIME IS BETTER. you could see from their faces they were bored of me and wanted to sleep.
i wanted to sleep as well ever since monday night/tuesday morning almost all nighter.
so result? not going to even bother checking on 13th december since i am 100% sure i'm unsuccessful. my first ever interview, i guess i was nervous, but that's natural right? will learn from this experience. nts: don't sleep at 12 before an interview, and don't have an almost all nighter 2 nights before. i was really, really sleepy whilst waiting.
and then this arvo i had my first afternoon nap ever since 2010 trip from hk where i had jet lag.
more life changing decisions which actually doesn't really affect me, but everyone else...just going to pray.

1/15
gg.
i have no chance of getting in. like that girl who kept on talking and asking, i bet she can ramble for 20mins, and thus get in. at least i'm not doing elec, which so far has 0/10 since they have no sponsors.
why gfc!? there used to bet] 5/15, and now there's 1/15, and possibly 2/15. apparently arnotts was so close to signing up, but backed out. it's not like the business side like actuarial which has 10/~45 and they have countless supply of money/sponsors.
it really isn't about the money. it's about the work opportunities, connections and jobs at the end. and the i think i finally found a course i would really like, except if i just do it normally, then after i finish, it would be hard to find jobs etc.
i don't get why they advertise the whole thing so much when hardly anyone gets in.
still kind of surprised i passed through. i hardly put in any effort into it, and was finishing it the night before =/
approx 8 baulko kids for both eng and business. apparently that's quite a lot.
just doing it for the experience.

Sign Out Day
finished signing everything quite quickly.
made 1 dollar today. wasn't planning on selling anything. the things i didn't sell, i just chucked them in the recycling since i don't have room. i've touched the recycling bin in the past 2 days more than i have for the past 2 years.
and i'm so stupid. why did i not pretend i didn't have my bus pass? it's dejavu, like this year when we had to return our yr11 id cards, i should have learnt to pretend. now i have to pay for my bus tomorrow.
yr 11's are so different this year. last year i had to search everywhere for fitspatrick. this year no one wants anything, and our year has heaps more resources than last year. oh well, not really my problem since i had no textbooks to sell.
it's sooooo awkward seeing/talking to my teachers. it just is. luckily none of them asked my how i went, or else i would've said i just failed. they just said "hi, how are you" still awkward.
i have seen this short black lace and white bottom skirt at least three times. so at curzon hall this week so far was, tues-tangara, wed-cheltenham, thurs-girra.
whenever i say my formal is at homebush, it feels like we're going on a picnic. but one of my ex-mlc friends had her val dinner there, and said it was nice.
my face is so bad. even worse then during trials/hsc. must be the weather. hence, i hate summer hot weather.
I REALLY HOPE WHEN THEY GIVE OUT ALTERNATE FOOD, I GET THE ONE I REALLY, REALLY WANT. i will somehow beg everyone at my table =/
corsages are really pretty, but i'll never get the chance to have one unless i'm really sad and rich, and just randomly buy one when i'm 50+
three things i'm praying won't happen:
1. this would ruin my whole formal mood, and potentially schoolies, but more formal
2. no rain. that would ruin everyone's effort.
3. ruin's my formal mood, and possibly other people.
dilemma: to buy qantas w/ food, or jet star w/ bad service, no food but cheaper. and then there's different carry on weights. 2 of 7kg for qantas, or 1of 10kg. if i bring more there than i can't bring anything back since return flight is jet star. i'll figure this out after schoolies.
this is totally me (bottom pic):

HSC Clean Up
ever since i finished last week, i did not touch anything, so all my sheets were just stuffed into a folder, which looked deceivingly neat, but inside was full messed up.
photo time:
photo time:
after paper 1 and after paper 2. it was a full pen before paper 1. my poor $2.50 inkjoy.
end of trials and end of hsc. there was actually time to be "neat" during hsc.
middle of hsc. felt slightly happy.
end of trials and end of hsc. received even more resources after trials.
pile 1: over 100 sheets of hand-written essays/some phys/some jap
circus!
butterfly confetti!
this morning. yes, didn't touch it and floor got messier after hsc.
starting to file.
sorting out English.
english done. sorting out the sciences and maths.
almost done! well it's stacked in piles, and now i just need to find a place in the house to store it.
pile 2: taking forever in deciding what to chuck. it's actually bigger than it looks, as it contains other thick uni info booklets.
i felt like i formed my own fortress with my own books. and my piles felt like "stepping stones" so i was just stepping on everything for fun (: and also to flatten things...I ACTUALLY CANNOT THROW ANYTHING AWAY. i have kept all my books since year 7. so those above english sheets took me a long time to sort out. and that pink book above will be the first book i will ever chuck.
also, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN HAVE OVER 7 TEXTBOOKS FOR ONE SUBJECT. like reading what people have, they have over 60 textbooks for both yr 11 and 12. first thoughts: how do you even finish them all and all that money!? i didn't buy any textbooks for yr 11, and only bought 7 textbooks for all my subjects in total for yr12. and i didn't even finish my fitzpatrick 2/3U. people literally have 10 times more textbooks than me, then there's also the school textbooks. i hardly touched school ones. then people have tutoring resources and online stuff. SO HOW DO PEOPLE FINISH THEIR STUFF? i didn't even have time to finish my minimal 7 textbooks for all my subjects. (which is probs why i failed my hsc)
oh, just to show how much food we have. this is a shell in our hallway with food. yes our hallway. because our four fridges, 2 massive cupboards in the garage, pantry, other cupboards in the kitchen, and living room. in the above, i counted there are 8 packets of tim tams, 5 of arnotts assorted biscuits, 8 cans of tuna, 15x cup of soups, 3 packets of other biscuits, 9 blocks of lindt chocolate (i found out there was strawberry flavour), other muesli bars and biscuits. that's only 2 shelves in this shelf.
