it's a cold cold day ...

omg . today has been a really really cold day , and there didn't seem to be any sunshine at all . to tell you the truth , i don't actually mind this cold weather cos i prefer being cold . i guess my only complaint is that i tend to eat a lot when it's cold ! today , i sat in my room for half an hour eating . my pre-study snack ? lol .

anywayy , now my tummy hurts . o gosh . and it's dinner time soon too ! wonder what we're having for dinner ... i think i saw mash potatoes and i heard lynne mention mushroom soup . mmm mmm , sounds good . -sigh- really should stop eating so much . but then again , maybe it's my body's way of telling me to grow . ha ha . roiiitee .

whatever lynda ...

every saturday evening , before gilmore girls comes on , we have to endure an entire hour of 'Australia's Funniest Home Videos' . and yes you guessed it , it's NOT that funny and some of the videos sent in are so stupid . okae so not the entire show is lame , but the host is really annoying and she tries too hard to be funny (she fails miserably btw) .

anyway , gilmore girls was funny . as usual . : ) today was such an unproductive day . didn't do ANY work at all ! hmm . but i did go for a walk with lynne and samson , and then i gave samson a bath . so now he's all nice-smelling and fluffy . i'm sure you would have guessed by now : i'm talking about our little doggie , not my (non-existent) brother .

ook well i'm just going to go take my contacts off , cos my eyes are getting dry and uncomfortable .

*p.s. TMR'S SUNDAY !! *yippeee* i've never had so much enthusiasm about sundays . lol .

the city ... finally

it's been quite a while (a few weeks maybe) since we last had a city trip and so tonite was good : ) except that tina couldn't come . it's a little strange , seeing as how she was the one who suggested that we go out anyway . well grace and i had a great time nonethless . the best part of it all was going to il gelato - there's one in northbridge !! *yay* the best ice cream ever . so now we're feeling a little sick . but it's okae , cos it's a satisfied kind of sick . *grin*

today was a pretty alrite day . 'whaa happen ?' had our concert on the balcony and it was exciting stuff . was really cool cos lots of people turned up this time ! so yes , we had a rather large audience and it was really nice day today as well .

hmm . i think i'm falling sick again . *noooo* not good . i'm a little annoyed too , cos the laptop i'm currently using doesn't have msn . everything seems to have started to screw up . grr . annoying though , cos i really want to use msn !! can't use the other comp cos nette's using it to do work . sooo yeah . ahh well . perhaps i will use the phone later or something . something that will cure my boredom . if not , i'll just go sleep !

can't wait till the exams are over . grace and i have decided that we will have fun this coming holidays cos that will make up for all the times we're not going to be able to go out - once term 3 starts that is . so there'll be sleepovers cum movie marathons , many city trips , subiaco trip(s) and ... ice skating ! unfortunately , tina won't be here ... as usual . -sigh- haven't actually been out with her in aaaages ! which is weird , since i see her in school every day . but still , going out is different . and so , we (grace , tina and i) MUST go out as much as possible before next year , cos that's when she's leaving and probably not coming back here . (cue: sappy , cross-roads music)

anywayyyy , i think i shall go now . going to find something to amuse myself with . have a good weekend you guys !

bahh . okae , our internet connection is really really slow now . apparently we've exceeded our limit of uploads and downloads or something , so that means bye bye to kazaa cos that was the main culprit . thought lynne saved the songs but she didn't save all of them , so we've kind of lost most of them . ahhh well .

hmm . today was the first tuesday in a very long time that i was actually home early . which meant that i had time to practice some trumpet , laze around and ... blog ! so here i am ! : ) got applic (math) tuition soon and my head really hurts . it's been hurting these past few days and i think it's cos i need more sleep or something . but i have been trying to sleep earlier , actually slept before midnight last nite .

ahh it's only tuesday ... !! can't wait till sunday again (shush all of you . i can hear you going : *tsk* lynda , *tsk*) . but before that i have more studying to do , an applic test to prepare for and some lovely reading of david suzuki's 'the sacred balance' to do ! grr . i just feeel like hitting him on the head . him being david suzuki . yes okae , you have some interesting things to say , but do we honestly have to analyse all of that ?! and you put diagrams and tables in your book as well . why ?!

don't mind me . i'm just being whiney , as usual . but at least i caught up on some reading last nite and i even made notes . english is really boring at the moment , wish we were doing a more interesting text or something .

o yes and i'm soo happy !! we're doing some Queen songs in 'whaa happen?' !! *grin* going to have a concert on the balcony during lunch time on friday , so you guys (tina and grace) better watch and drag the rest along with you ! haha . but i think we'll be doing more of the blues brothers stuff . not sure yet though . you'll just have to come watch to find out okae !

anyway , my head's still hurting so i'm just gonna go now and rest before tuition starts .

regret .
that's all i'm feeling now .
argghh .
just sooo bloody annoyed with myself . i'm not going to get over this .

just watched 'sweet november' again . hmm . it's put me into one of those sappy moods , and i'm not liking it .

i've got an english essay tmr . -sigh- really not in the mood to do any school-related work , even more so than usual . buuut i have to . soo i shall go to my room and try and be a good little girl and do my work .

feeling rather melancholy at the moment , and i don't really know why . didn't do ANY work today at all , which means i will have a shitload to do tmr ! but ah well , that's what sundays are for aren't they ? silly david suzuki book . really not in the mood to read it and find out what he has to say about humans and the environment . don't even understand HOW we're meant to be analyze the text anyway .

hmm well . finally went to watch Troy today ! lol . it's an alrite movie , enjoyed some bits of it . just thought orlando was rather wimpy and that helen wasn't that pretty . she was only pretty sometimes . liked the cousin better - persius ? however you spell it . missed the first 10 minutes of the movie , but i won't go into explaining why ... too . much . effort .

ah yes . made it home quite early and in time for dinner - which was yummy btw . watched gilmore girls ! i love that show soo much . *smiles* would be even better if jesse were there . ahhaha . hmmm ... let's not get into that shall we ? lol .

watched the movie 'maybe baby' as well , since it was on tv tonight . funny , yet sad . i liked it though : ) ben elton is very talented , and i still want to watch 'we will rock you' but tickets are expensive . besides , i have absolutely NO money . which brings me to my next point ...

i want a job . this morning , mum told me about pure & natural in garden city needing part-time staff . i thought that was a hint about getting a job . so i decided to photocopy my resume and while i was doing that , she said , "are you sure you can handle having a job right now?" which translates to : i don't think you should get a job da . maybe you should wait till your TEE is over .

so there go my chances of getting a job right now . really want to get some sort of income so that i can start saving some actual money for the end of the year . grr .

it's almost 1am and i should probably start making my way to bed . hmm . my sleeping pattern is still all screwed up . really don't feel sleepy until like 1 or 2 am now , but i want to sleep more ! lol . just a tad hard getting myself into the habit of sleeping early . usually end up staying up doing nothing . this is odd , especially since most ppl would die to be able to sleep early but they just have sooo much to do .

anyway , i'd better get going . *yay* tmr's sunday ! happy happy joy joy . ahhah . yes , it IS for that silly reason . but hey , it makes church more interesting and it's such a lovely way to end a sunday !

so it's been a while since i've blogged huh . hahah . yes , and i'm finally updating !

well . nothing exciting has really happened this past week . hmm . lemme see ... no . nothing exciting . lol . okae well , except that i'm probably going back to s'pore in january !! *jumps for joy* and i think dad said okae to letting me go to jakarta to stay with tina as well . *yay* so i'm reallyyyy looking forward to that . can't wait till november . wish it wwould just come now ... then we'll all be freee ! no more school !

anyway , until then , there is still plenty of work to be done . but i have started studying though - exams are 2 weeks away . *eeks* really have to do well these , and i want to .

ah yes . finally going to see Troy tmr ! i think i've waited long enough . lol . we've decided to wait till 'van hellsing' comes out in picadilly since it's cheaper to watch it there ... we're such cheapos . i know .

hahah . it's taken me like aaages to finish typing this entry cos i'm quite distracted right now . argh . this is quite a pointless entry , but o well . i'll update again tmr or something ...

brought to you by Quizilla

yes i would say that most of it is true ...
(except the 'logical' part . haha . logic ? i have none .)

i thought the entry i typed in school didn't turn out . anyway , yes . it WAS such a painful day today in RE (religious ed.) , having to tolerate uber nerd's constant giggling and whining ...

how could you guys desert me like that ?! not nice at all . lol . but o well , i'm still in an extremely good mood ! *grin* (if you would like to know why , ask me personally . that is , if you don't already know the reason . hahaha .)

alrite well i'm in school now and i'm really quite bored . it's RE ! and we have to plan our weddings ! *geez* really don't feel like doing this ... hmm . i don't even see the point .

anyhoo , jo and marsia and amy aren't here today . sooo ... i'm stuck with some ppl who are really getting on my nerves and in particular - uber nerd . gawd , she won't shut up . laughing ... continuously . *arghh* (mutters to self : i need a sharp object , i need a sharp object . )

i guess i'd better get back to this silly wedding plan .

hahah . i finally know how to post pictures . okae fine , so i'm slow . but hey , i figured it out on my own ! *huzzah* to me .

oo ah . blogger has a new look ! lol . it's really quite odd and i don't know if i like it . ANYHOO , that's not the point of my blog tonight .

well . there have been many things going on lately , but mostly hw-related . just a million and one (or two) things to do , and as usual , my time management skills are extremely terrible . so yes . i actually panicked on sunday night and ended up doing my english oral presentation all night , didn't even get to do much research and preparation for my econs essay (which went pretty alrite i would say) . -sigh-

exams are in about what , 2 weeks maybe ? shiiiite . i'm really quite screwed . feel sooo ... unprepared/scared/stressed . whatever .

BUT today was a good day in school . went to watch the WASO (WA symphony orchestra) today . we (the music in society girls) just tagged along anyway , but i enjoyed the performance though . the orchestra is really good and yes , we also noticed the hot trumpet player - he was probably the youngest guy there . lol . but he WAS cute .

bahhh . anyhoo , i should get going . have more work to do - a human bio test to study for , applic (math) questions ... besides , the space bar is kind of screwing up and my thumb is getting tired .

OKAE ! NEW PICTURES ARE UP !
link is ... production : opening night

go see !! go see !!

I'M GOING TO BED NOW . NO NEED TO POP PILLS !
(heh . typing in caps is fun . isn't it , amanda ?)

my wonderful weekend so far ...
well let's see .

friday:
the day actually passed by quite quickly and i must say , the entire school day was pretty enjoyable . it was really quite strange , cos everybody seemed to be in a rather weird mood . i think it must have been the weather or something , cos it was the first time in a ages that it was sort of rainy and cloudy . i actually like this sort of weather , at least it will be cold enough for us to wear our winter uniform .

well we stayed back after school for 'manal's study session' as per usual . but friday just wasn't a productive day at all , everybody didn't feel like doing work . we did do some though . had some odd conversations during that time too . hahah . ah yes , sarem and sam were doing their french hw . so we were very amused at them reading the french passage which they were supposed to translate into english .

after that grace and i headed to tina's house so bum around before going back to school to see the year 12 production . had fun taking some stupid pictures , eating dinner while watching ugly and/or weird-looking people on tv . o and going online and being kpo (busybody) on friendster , which also means we were laughing at weird looking people . lol .

then finally we went back to school to watch the production . enjoyed it thoroughly ! the year 12 drama girls are really really talented , and i liked how the characters they played really suited their personalities and all . hehe . was a very good play - with some excellent lines ( "daaaaaarling ... " ) and witty remarks .

took MORE pictures back at tina's house before my dad came to pick grace and myself up (our lovely mementos!!) . was unpacking stuff when i got a call from Aza . he said he didn't feel like going home , and since i wasn't feeling tired either , i said he could come over . so he did . sat in his car out on the driveway and had a nice long chat . after a while it got kind of cold so we went inside the house and i made him watch an episode of gilmore girls with me ! lol . well , he watched bits of it and i had to explain what was going on and stuff . so it wasn't too bad , except he fell asleeep at some parts . but it IS a girls show anyway . lol . guys don't usually watch it unless they find lorelai hot .

saturday (today):
nothing eventful really . was supposed to go to the city to meet siao fui cos she's going off to japan tmr . but noo , got kind of lazy and i realised how much work i had to do this weekend . so yes , tried to do as much as possible and i got some done . now that i think about it , it probably even wasn't that much . i'll probably end up doing it all tmr ... -sigh-
o wait . there was something eventful !! we all went out to mother's day dinner at salathai (this thai restaurant) . was a very yummy meal . mmm mmm . so now i'm really full . but also satisfied . *grin*

o my , wonderful weekend indeed . hahaha . o gawd , i still have work to complete . assesments , tests and hw . AND the exams are in about 2 weeks time . i think . shiiiiite . well they're coming real soon anyway .

excuse me while i go tear my hair out ...

REALLY long entry ... read on if you want

i'm in one of those weird moods at the moment (so what's new eh?) , so please excuse any mean/bitchy/offensive comments that i do make . ah yes , and i apologise if i get sappy as well . like i said , i'm in a weird mood .
*note: you can choose to stop reading at any point . i just felt like being long-winded .

(1) - i'm doing my documentary proposal for english , and i've decided that my topic will be that of obesity . it will also be focused on how people are suing fast-food companies like McDonald's because they claim that they only became severely overweight after eating the food. i suspect that this is the reason why McDonald's has included a 'new taste menu' , providing healthier choices for those wanting to eat at their restaurants. i saw an ad for McDonald's and they said that they were giving their restaurants a new look ; that they were going to have their food fried in canola oil ; and that they were going to use low-fat buns for burgers . or something to that effect . i would just like to know whether those obesed people who sue McDonald's have any brains or common sense . they should know that fast-food chains like McDonald's ARE unhealthy and yes , eating large amounts of such food CAN and WILL make you extremely fat and give you heart diseases . well they should know , but they don't .

(2) - immature people bug me . i know it's not anyones fault that they are immature , but it still annoys me .

(3) - i have never experienced such jealousy and envy till last night . don't ask me how/why it happened , but i was just jealous and envious of certain people .

(4) - this is going to make me sound needy (and probably desperate) , but i feel as though i don't belong to anyone anymore and i don't like this feeling . i miss having someone whom i can say is mine and vice-versa . the word 'single' just somehow doesn't appeal to me . but maybe it's just because i haven't been single in such a long time , so there you go . that's probably it .

(5) - because of (4) , i was feeling quite depressed and sappy last night and i guess i haven't actually felt the effects of the break up . until now . empty and lonely - even more so now . and yet i don't really want someone else to come and replace him , cos i can't really see myself with any other person .

(6) - i'm sappy and i hate it .

(7) - i've been procrastinating all weekend . barely started on my documentary proposal even though it's due tmr . somehow i don't seem to feel stressed about the fact that it's due tmr and yet i haven't done anything about it .

(8) - there are all kinds of people in this world and i've probably met a few kinds of weirdos on friendster and zorpia recently . i especially detest the kind who can't for the life of me, speak proper english . i really wonder how they got through secondary school and jc/poly with such bad grasp of the language . when they talk to me on msn , they type like they're still in lower secondary and going through the phase of tAlkinGg liKeEe tHiSh and ending every single sentence with 'lor' . *hiEeXxxXx* *heeEex*

(9) - o yes , and in another point relating to (8) ... i would also like to know why some people bother to type like that . it makes me want to barf . another thing that makes me want to barf - gfs and bfs who write disgustingly mushy testimonials for each other . and no , i'm not being bitter here . i'm just saying that it's pretty gross for other people to read them . but then again , who am i to say that ? maybe i should stop reading other people's testimonials , but isn't that what they're there for ?

(10) - lastly , why do people see britney spears as a role model ? i really do want to know why . they showed her 'live in miami' concert on tv the other night and i watched it . it was quite entertaining because it was so cliched and lame , but at the same time , i really don't see why anyone would look up to her . she's become quite slutty and she seems to enjoy showing people that she's all grown-up and that it's ok for her to explore her sexuality so openly . i didn't really have a problem with that , but i saw children and their parents in the audience . those parents are certainly going to have to tell their children about the birds and bees since britney probably helped with some of that .

o yes . and i would also like to say that britney loooked rather fat in that concert . i know i shouldn't be criticising other people about their bodies or appearances , but she was wearing the ugliest clothes that revealed her chunky thighs and huge calves . i also thought it was funny when she gave the impression that she was going to play the piano for one of her songs . there was a nice grand piano on stage . she actually went and sat down in front of it and put her hands on the keys , making it look like she was actually playing when the music started . then after a musical interlude , she gets up from the piano and the piano music is still playing in the background .

well then . i think i'm pretty much done rambling . see ? i told you it was a long entry . congrateloootions for making it to the end ! lol .

great , juuuuuuuuuuust great .
there's something wrong with msn explorer . none of the pictures on ANY website will load and now blogger is being all weird . hmm . silly thing .

anyhoo . felt like typing something ... so here i am . typing something . really quite bored so i guess i should go sleep after this . really got to try to get my body clock back to normal - well close to normal at least .

the weekend does not look good . i see lots of homework waiting to be done , a few tests to study for and some assesments that require preparation and/or research . o boy . i just can't wait till november ! i'll be free then !! i just can't wait . i really feel like starting a countdown till my freedom , but then again , maybe i shouldn't . cos i might just end up scaring myself seeing the number of days till the TEEs .

hmm well . everyone seems to be going offline now and this thing seems to be screwing up . can't even bold or use italics or anything ! geez .

night night all . da is going to bed .
