Lately I have been a little confused about what was going on about the Ag presentations. You see, where it said 'date of issue', I thought that meant 'date to issue your assignment to the teacher' and the presentations to the class woudl start in week 3. For my last few weeks of ignorance, it struck me as very odd that we'd need to hand in our assignments two weeks before presentations began. I'd been turning this over in my head, wondering why this is, when about a couple minutes ago I re-read the notification for the tenth time, this time noting the 'term 1' next to the week 3. My HORRIBLE reading skills have tricked me into thinking that the date of issue was week 1, term 3, and presentation was W3 T3. I feel really shameful of myself, I mean, I bet there's a really smart kid out there who would want to go to Hurlstone, and one of the spots in the school has been taken up by an idiot like me. I wouoold like to think I have good common sense, but I really do the stupidest things sometimes. It's so humiliating! Especially when my sisters are around to see me blunder, they're always like, "Are you SURE you got into Hurlstone?" and "What do they teach you at that school?", sometimes even "You must be soaking up the asianerd effect from your friends." I don't blame them for saying those things though. As pointed as they are, I know I'd make fun of myself were I in their position.
A day and a half left of freedom before going back to the dilapidated cage that is our school XD. The holidays really have been a blur for me. I SWEAR they'd last longer. I can still clearly remember PE last period and thinking, "it's gonna be a long time before I see everyone again," and now here we are. Well, sleep in tomorrow guys, we're not gonna be able to do it extensively for more than 2 months after! I'll see you all there...right?

control yourself! take only what you need from it...
wow guys, thursday night and holidays are almost over! wow. just, wow. well, not wow, more like "OMFG WHAT DID I DO FOR THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF?!" i promised myself id start doing work, which i have, but a very minimal amount: i know i could do alot more. Like math for instance. I'm meant to be studying for that study T3 exam in second week, but lately I've been very loathing toward math. Not to any particular subject, just math in general. On the upside, I went to Livo library today and snagged some garden books. That's right, I'm doing potatoes! For all you know, I'm going to make reference to the science book a year or two ago that noted the potato that exploded when it came into contact with a virus! I might use that actually! I forgot about that until I started typing today's entry. WOW!
Boy, re-reading my first paragraph makes me sound real chipper huh? Well, I don't FEEL too chipper. I'm a bit tired, sad that I haven't gotten more out of my holidays. I imagine this is how a drug addict feels when they have a moment of lucidity and go into epiphany mode, just a thousand times worse seeing as how they would be in a much worse situation than I currently am. By the time I realised that I hadn't started to read Unseen Companion (class novel) again for the second time for analysis, the holidays were nearly half run through and I thought, "Hell, if it took me so long to read it the first time, how am I gonna finish it in a week?" Rationally, if I spent more time reading and less time goofing off, I probably would have read a good part of it. Now I'm just analysing key parts.
Well, enough about work, let's discuss some random stuff. remember that paper last year or so where there was an excerpt of an email from a teenager talking about body clocks? WELL, mine seems to be following the course of her predictions. I remember when 10pm was late and I was ready to fall dead asleep. Nowadays, even during school days, I tend to sleep close to midnight, and not always by choice; sometimes I just roll around in bed and wait for sleep to take me. But other times, I just don't tire so easily and when I look at the clock I think, "already?" kinda thing. I've slowly regressed from waking up at 7 in the morning for school to 7.30. The change was such a gradual process that it took me a while to realise that I was waking up later everyday, no matter what I tried to do. It's a bit sad when you think about it. I lack the willpower to get up out of bed...
I SWEAR that I WILL finish one of the maths summaries and start the Ag powerpoint!! I MUST. [insert war cry here]...well anyhow, good luck with the work guys! I know most, if not all of us haven't been that bothered to do a good portion of work. Ciao!

i can fit into REALLY skinny jeans. jealous?
Just about the title, me and some of my friend's friends went out to Livo Westfields today just to shop around, hang out and other from hijinks. While I was waiting for Sebastian and co. to try on clothes and chat with the shop assistant, I got fairly bored. At some point during that time in between, I thought to myself, "What's skinniest jeans I can fit into at this store (Just Jeans)?" Probably not the smartest idea of the day, but hey, I needed something to do. After trying some women's jeans (GOD they're hard to take off), I apparently can fit in to size 9. Let me remind you all that I had little to do except sit on the floor and have very bad conversation flow with one of Sebastian's friends whom I had never met before. This all happened before we went to lunch.
Rewinding back a little, me and Seb took the bus to Livo and headed straight to the ATMs in the food court. The time being around 10ish, it was practically empty, the 'busiest' shop being McDo at the time. As the two of us lined up to use the ATM, Tri seemed to pop out of nowhere and called out my name. He seemed to be heading to the movies with a friend. This REALLY surprised me. You see, it was still somewhat early for me, and unless its during school, I am not conditioned to think outside too far out of the square. I had not anticipated that I would bump into someone that I knew at the Westfields. Pretty stupid on my part.
After money withdrawals and meeting up with Chau, Joseph and Brad at the top level, we just went around the stores looking around at random stuff up till lunch. curry karma does good food, i suggest their mango chicken =D. after another walk around to digest the food (Joseph and Brad went to see HP6), the three of us ended up at JB, where Chau and I bought Seb an early BDAY pressie. Afterward, me and Seb went all out on the DDR machine at Timezone. Sadly, I was outperformed, seeing as how i still need to put extra pressure on freeze arrows (I don't weigh enough so that just stepping on the arrow and leaving my foot there isn't enough for the machine to recognise. I need to really press down, so it throws off my rhythm D<). That plus the fact that I decided to go suicide on some songs by doing them on Heavy when I shouldn't.
After some chatting (and a mango smoothie), it was time to go home. Very summarised, me and the other guys really goofed around, there were tonnes of jokes and laughing and I wish I could write them all down but I can't.
On the discussion side, did anyone notice that today was unusually warm for winter? I mean, really warm? It must have been mid 20s during the day! Then it rained in the afternoon O:...but that aside, an unusual day for weather, yes? I am currently addicted to Word Challenge, it's bad. While we were at Westfields, on several occasions I found words and played WC with them, its freaky. I challenge YOU to play! XD im not serious, but it is fun to get into. As my sister said, it makes one feel S-M-R-T.
I have been progressively been doing assigned work and maths study. VERY progressively. Livo Library tomorrow for potato books and Fri and Sat I will develop the Ag powerpoint and English speech...hopefully. UGH. I was gonna mention something really cool, but now I FORGOT. GRAAAGH. Damn my tenuous grasp of memory *RAGE*. gosh, i hate it when that happens! well...im not gonna remember at this rate. i will edit if i do. Word Challenge time!
EDIT - thats right! just as a footnote ive been playing tennis with my dad! makes me feel fit, even though i tire easily XD.

a formal complaint.
Why is it that EVERY ONE has nice blogs? I mean, when I go to them cause I'm just surfing and stuff, they have all of these photos and really nice backgrounds and toolbars that follow you going up and down the page and lists on the side, music players...what do i have? a random poll, an outdate about me page with a very expressive version of my face next to it, external links and the blog itself. It's REALLY plain. Then again, you guys put some sort of time into your layouts. I just do this to blog! XD but anyhow, that's just me complaining that mine is so unoriginal.
Don't you hate when there's something you want to say or ask but if you do, you think, "Crap, if I do that and they take the wrong way, I'll die!"? It really ticks me off. Kinda ties in with what I posted before.
Usually when I wake up, I think of the most out-there kinda topics and then I hear a voice say, "that wouldn't be half bad to blog about" and I agree with that and make a mental note to blog about those topic(s). Of course, unlike post-it notes, my mental notes are very ephemeral (ooh, a long word!). Probably made out of rice paper and written on with stones I bet. That's why 9/10 of my mental notes fail to remind when I need reminding. One day, I'll blog about those random things, but until then, I guess I'm just stuck blogging about...well this. I guess it's not half-bad.
Came back a bit over an hour ago from the movies, watched HP6. It was great to watch, it has its funny moments, but overall I think is a very intense movie. Not as much action as I would have hoped, and I wished they'd snuck in a couple minutes of the students trying to Apparate and failing, which would have been funny to watch. Watching the movie has prompted my Dite to read the last book again to answer questions about certain things seeing as how we have forgotten many things that we swore to remember.
Just as a footnote, I would like to encourage you guys to watch True Beauty on 7, its funny to watch the 'beauties' to talk so up about themselves and really conceited. Kinda. Ooh, my english is getting kinda bad now XD so i'll leave it at that.

over-paranoia, among other things.
just to start off, I would like to say to all my readers, "WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU GUYS BEEN COMMENTING?!" but I won't because that's being over-paranoid. I'm sure you're all not bothered to comment anymore or not reading full stop. I don't mind, since this is meant to be for memory preservation. In a few years time, I'll probably look back on this and think, "This is REALLY gaaay."
Anyway, I'd like to broach the fact that in today's society, many of us are over-paranoid. I am one example of a person being over-paranoid. People like me often think through the actions they will make and debate silently to themselves about whether or not to do it, what the consequences could be and, if they were to occur, how detrimental the consequences would be to the over-paranoid person. They would also think about the actions that they HAD taken and think how those actions could have been misinterpreted and think that they have been taken to the most offensive extreme possible by people around them...yes. That's something I don't like about myself. One could say that it is just being tactful, but hey, I don't interact too much around people I don't know that well or am uncomfortable to be around.
Then again, that's probably just me. Anyway, in other news, I haven't done any work yet during these holidays. None. At all. Really bad. If this keeps going, I'm gonna end up in Wednesday next week with no work done thinking, 'crap, I have to prepare English speech and Ag assignment and study for Math exam.' so I'm in a bind. I NEED to knuckle down tomorrow...yeah, I really shouldn't be blogging. I just have no idea where the day goes. to that effect, dont expect me to blog that often.
to finish, im going to write a sentence of thanks about people who are important me (other than family), that i care about especially. Some will be harder to figure out who is, so yeah!
- Thanks for saying that I was charismatic
- Thanks for being a total geek with me for so many years
- Thank you for being a good ear and dirty joke/profanity machine
- Thanks for putting up with all the crap I put you through, even today
- Thank you for being my very last friend at the end of so many school days
- Thank you for sticking with me even though I left you at this year's ccamp
- Thanks for sharing your iPod with me so many times
- Thanks for not inviting me to your house alone
- Thanks for introducing me to a bunch of new people last summer
- Thank you for talking with me after school even though you could have just said, "I'm gonna go library."
- Thanks for being my friend for over 10 years
- Thank you for the Christmas wrapping-card
- Thanks to all the people who have made an effort to catch the bus even though they didn't necessarily have to
- Thank you for singing random songs with me
I'll add to this when I can think of more people. Can you figure out who's who? Or can I after so many years? by the by, i'll see you all later (goes off and stalks other people's blogs).
