ooh ah . six whole days since i've last updated !
it's thursday night and tmr is the last day of term 3 . the school was nice enough to organize a MOCKtail for the year 12s (not COCKtail , cos most of us are not legal) . so yes , i was kind of skeptical about it at first , but then the evening wasn't too bad actually . some of the mocktails were nice and there were also guest speakers (these two 4th year med students) , who came to talk to us about drugs and alcohol .

took lots of pictures - with and without our mocktails (okae , i feel silly typing that word) . soo i shall upload them soon ! went to dome for coffee after that and so now , i feel rather sick .

well . tmr's the last day of term 3 ... that means the mocks are fast approaching . going to be studying my butt off this coming weeek - doesn't that sound like absolute fun ? silly question , of course it does !

anyway . i think i shall go have an early night . my eyebags are getting worse ... -sigh-

everything's annoying me at the moment :
my mother and her mummy-laughter (i think she's irritating lynne) ,
people just asking me stupid questions in general ,
school ,
the fact that i'm so not prepared for the mocks (and they're about 2 weeks away) ,
people .

and i can't seem to scan stuff on this computer . hmph .
i have this one line of a tripod song stuck in my head - "her christian name is Ingrid , she lets me call her grid ."
it's a song about prefixes you see .
lol .

sunday's coming ! and that means there'll be baileys , cake , kfc , fun , friends , twister , church and christian .

the recital was a success and i must say , that everyone did really well tonight . :) just like courtney said , "i'm so proud of you guys" . lol .

anyhooo , here are some photos . sorry if they're unclear , lynne is an extremely bad photographer .


ta da ! my beloved music class . except kate got cut off (geez lynne , take photos properly would you?!)


and that's me and courtney . such a funny girl that one . oh and behind us is jill , being an ass . lol .

okie dokes . have to go do some work now .
toooooodles .

and in other exciting news ...

it's sunday and once again , i'm sitting in front of the computer trying to complete my econs research assignment . but this will be the last sunday where i will have to do that because it's the last econs assignment - ever .

went to bed fairly early (and by early , i mean before 12) last night and was just lying in bed thinking about stuff . i realised how much i can't wait to finish year 12 and get out of school . ok sure , i'm going to miss all those friends i made in santa . but then i wonder just how many i'm going to keep in contact with . it's just like after primary 6 , how everyone says "we'll be friends forever and keep in contact ok?" . i guess nobody really knows these things , and i still talk to the sacians . in fact , some are my closest friends .
it's not that i won't miss santa maria , of course . i will . many many good memories and lovely people .

speaking of friends , i found samm (pereira) on friendster ! was so happy . just when i was wondering how she was and all . hmm . really miss that girl .

oh and one more thing :
i'm short . get over it . cos i have , why can't you ? i really don't mind the occasional haha-you're-short jokes , but you get so carried away and after a while , it's just not funny anymore . ("god gave you those leg lengths so why don't you just accept it?") there's a reason why short people wear heels and sometimes it's nice when friends just humour you and not make dumb comments about your attempts at being taller . i mean i never make fun of your shortcomings (pun : fully intended) , do i ? unless you want me to , then i will . well anyway , you know who you are .

i'm feeling a little irritable and maybe petty/sensitive/bitchy , but i did mean every single word i said .

damn . my mother is cooking curry for dinner and it smells good . but i won't get to eat it cos tonight is heidy's birthday dinner at burswood - where the food is average and is rather angmoh-fied . i shan't complain anyway , since dinner's on heidy and it's her birthday . well at least i know the company will be good ^^ .

anyhoo , i shouldn't be here . got to try and finish as much of (the last) econs assignment (ever) . have to write an article on Australia's economy for 2003-2004 . riveting stuff , don't you think ?

we are officially aussie citizens ! had our swearing-in ceremony just now - along with 64 other people . recited the oath , received our certificates from the mayor, took pictures with her and then everyone else clapped . that was it . lol . after that we all sang the national anthem together .

managed to leave today's rehearsals early and ended up bumming around and tina's house (watching cable tv , of course !) . but this time she invited us over ok . went to garbo after that to buy stuff for heidy since her birthday dinner's on saturday night . was feeling hungry after that and so had crepes . mmm ... felt kind of sick after that though . seeing as how i had a whole crepe to myself . and no , i was NOT being a pig . grace didn't want to share .

anyway .
really have to get going .
stupid econs test tmr and my eyes can't fucking stay open .
-sigh-

huzzah ! i'm a happy girlie - finally finished my econs assignment .
please excuse me while i go shave my legs :)

oh , and breakfast at the secret garden was good . thanks , grace ! and happy birthday once again ! ^^

funny - as in ha ha ha .

my tagboard can't swear . haw haw . i typed damn and it came out *beep* .

today wasn't as bad i thought . after dinner , went out for coffee cos adrian came back to visit ! he's this pilot from singapore who used to sing in church . so yes , was nice to see him again . he's staying at the hilton and it's a nice hotel ... except we kind of lost on the way there . and we also went into this dodgy carpark where we encountered this creepy (and probably homeless) aboriginal woman . she was wearing a blanket and her arms were flailing for no reason at all . clare saw her too , except the woman knocked on her window and asked , "why are you all so rude?"

riiite .
ooh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to GRACE AND GILLIAN !! 17th for glace and 16th for gil . happy birthday you guys , have a good day yeah ?
*ohhhh , this is a birthday song . it isn't very long . hey!*
(courtesy of rick dees - and the weekly top 40)
speaking of which , i haven't listened to his show in ages . wonder if it's still on .

on that strange note , i'm going back to my econs . -sigh- stupid , freakin' assignments . die econs , die !!
oh and it's sunday tmr ... ! yay !

but before i go ... got this from crystal (who got it from dene)

You are a XSYG--Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver. This makes you a Sex Bomb.You are sexy sex sex sex! The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date -- relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. Your type probably has origins in something sad -- trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak -- and you'll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold! You lie effortlessly -- not necessarily a bad thing. You can have problems with fidelity. You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren't consistent with your general good judgment. In other words, don't cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you. You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. You don't *want* to cheat -- you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please. Your sex life will always be hot. You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever -- if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again.Of the 62300 people who have taken this quiz, 8.8 % are this type.

i have a song stuck in my head : fifty ways to leave your lover - paul simon .

just watched 'inside idol' and oh my , i feel so embarrassed for the rejects . i can't believe they're going to have a special on tuesday - showcasing all these rejects on the idol stage . all of them are just such retards and it's so sad that they don't realise how pathetic they are .

let's see . there's a struggling novelist who sang 'am i not pretty enough' by kasey chambers , and it was horrible because not only was she NOT pretty at all ... her voice really stank . and then there was this other white guy who was trying to be black , but of course , failing miserably . to top it all of , his idea of bling-bling was to walk around with this huge clock around his neck .

who could forget Georgee (whose idol is none other than madonna) . he's got posters , books , cds ... practically anything and everything that's related to her . he's this strange dancer (with very neatly plucked eyebrows , i might add) who thinks he's a really good singer . he even made his own cds and dvd .

the other girl who horrified me was the one who thought that her extremely high-pitched screeching was considered to be really good singing . she was even upset when dicko told her that it sounded as if she was being posessed , and her family and bf kept telling her to shut up .

with people like these , how can one not feel embarrassed and pained watching them on telly - making complete fools of themselves .
anyhow , i shall stop blogging about these sad souls because my hw is waiting to be done .
bahhh .

still in my head :
"she said it grieves me so to see you in such pain , i wish there was something i could do to make you smile again ... fifty ways to leave your lover ."

yay . at least i've sort of finished my econs speech for thursday , and so i don't feel as disorganized as grace .

anyhoo , been kind of grumpy all day and now i actually feel less irritated . all this being nice and alert at night makes me feel kind of nocturnal . hmmm . and in case you're wondering , no , i'm not going to be a girl and go on complaining about my period . i'll also spare you the gross details of my weird toilet habits during this time of the month .

okk soooo ... i think i should go now . got so much work waiting to be done . AHH dammit . when will this madness end ?!! (soon lynda , soon . nov 19 to be exact!)

*tra la la la ... *

i'm outraged ! can't believe angie got voted out of aussie idol . pffft . that stupid emelia can't sing for nuts , and she's ALWAYS crying ! but at least she left graciously by singing her last song really well .

i'm also annoyed cos there's FOUR (soon to be3) freakin' econs assignments due in about 2 weeks . -sigh- and september's the month for birthday parties and what not . ahhhh ...

oh and i'd also , my dad is absolutely obsessed with adaware . he seems to enjoy sitting there 'catching' all the unwanted ads , telling us about how many he 'caught' . "wahhh . today i caught over 30 you know ! and then i did it about 3 more times , just in case ."

that's just great dad . and now , i must go .

had a slight panic attack earlier on , but i'm feeling kind of alright now . just kind of ... dazed . hmm . but i did get work done today , quite a bit actually . go me .

anyhoo , was feeling bored and narcissistic . so i snapped

funny . i have swing music playing in my head right now . ba da dee dum .

it's the 3rd day of spring , and already the fickle weather is getting on my nerves . apparently some people vandalised our school grounds last night/this morning (with words that rhyme with duck , like fuck) and so when we all got to school , the smell of bleach was everywhere . i thought the funniest was that the vandals didn't manage to complete one of their sentences because they had no time . lol .

the entire day of school was pretty alrite until last period - applic . i was told by mr. yeang that i'm not trying hard enough and that my test scores or disappointing . well yes , they are disappointing but maybe it's just cos i suck at math ? anyhooo , at least i passed .

was watching this show on sbs after dinner about the royal family . it was about how all the european royalty are connected so it was quite interesting . the documentary was narrated by a few members of the royal family from greech , prussia , denmark , luxembourg . i vaguely remember something being mentioned about how little princes had to wear dresses till they were 6 . hahahah . but they did look very sweet and pretty .

oo ! oo ! and the name of one of the kings was christian .ha . i just thought i'd share . sorry , pardon my obsessive behaviour .
