applic - ahh , sweet memories .


me , portia and jo with mr "woefully" yeang (that's loon yeang to you , girls)


leah .


"woohooo ! no more applic classes!" - says jo


i'm sure you get the idea by now . lol .


but hey , we did do work alrite .


see ! i told you !

end . many more pictures to come ! watch this space .

finally finished watching the other half of 'the 4400' . and yes nette , i know you told me it was a letdown but i just had to see for myself . (you were right , it was a dumb and weird ending)

anyhoo , today was full of mixed emotions . on the one hand , it was the last time we'd all be sitting in those classes for lessons and that made us all very happy . but then seeing all the teachers get all sappy with their thank-you-and-don't-worry-you-guys-will-do-fine speeches was quite sad . especially with mrs. chapple (our homeroom teacher) cos she looked like she was about to cry .

jo and i took some stupid pictures in applic today . i'll put them up here asap . but they're hilarious though , what a great way to remember the class eh . ooh yes , we also gave mr k and ms. oram their presents and that was the saddest part . i think i'm going to miss the music department the most , it seems that i've grown rather attached to all the people who are part of it . wonder what it'll be like next year , with the present year 11s running everything . it's really mean to say , but i hope they surprise everyone by doing a good job .

it still hasn't really hit us all yet - that the last day of school is approaching . and we all thought that tuesday , nov 2nd , was so far away . well , apparently not . i really don't want to be all emotional on tuesday , but i'm afraid i might be . haha . i'm so excited about finally leaving high school but i'm sure going to miss all the people who have been part of it .

hmm . still have to think of what to dress up as on tuesday ... a few ideas i've had : cuban drug lord (that includes the hairy chest and moustache , and possibly the accent) , go-go (the jap assasin in kill bill) , the cat in the hat ...

well if anyone has any ideas at all , please share . i'm open to any suggestions . i mean hey , cuban drug lord ?? (that was my own idea alrite)

happy birthday to my mummy !! ok , so she won't read this , but happy birthday to her anyway .

school was good today . we had our final house assembly and it was nicely planned and everything . mrs. chapple made a slideshow with our pictures and there were speeches and stuff . *aww* then we went to the figure eight and released our yellow ballooons . the only cheesy part was when the rest of the house was told to make a circle around us , link their arms and then say an irish blessing for us . (the phrase "link arms to link love" came to mind)

skipped the period after lunch to take whaa hapen photos . hahah a. they're so funny , i should really get a copy of them and upload them here .

today might have also been my last trumpet lesson in school . *sniff* but mr kelly said that i can still call him to get lessons or help whenever i want . how sweet of him . haha , yes he's sweet (and also cute) .

ooh ah , my head kind of hurts . feeling dizzy from reading in the car - we got our leavers' books today you see . aww , i just love the year 12s . the year of the legends , indeed . not being biased or anything , but i think our year is the best year ever . last year's year 12s weren't exactly very bright or great leaders . i don't recall having that much fun in school last year , and i actually don't remember who the head girl was . hmm .

i'm convinced that the rest of the week will pass by really quickly , and before we know it , it'll be the last day of school . till then , i'm just going to enjoy the days of school we have left .

*p.s. i'm fine with graduation , as long as they don't play that stupid vitamin c song .

ok . i just typed a really mean entry and i've decided to delete it . but whatever it is , please make it stop !! it's driving me up the fucking wall . it's just like australian idol auditions all over again , except when they play the really bad ones . YES , just like that . help . AHHHHHHH !!! *stab and twist*

-sigh- tmr's monday . which means we have school ! nooo .. but it's ok , only 7 more days of school . that's so soon though . the year is almost over ! this time last year , we were all excited about being in year 12 and all . and now , we're going to be in uni soon !

well , back to reality - the tee is in about 2 weeks time . eeks .

ahh ! i've been lied to about my height all along ! lol . the school keeps telling me that i'm 154cm , but mum just measured us and i'm only 151cm .

grace got her passport today and the photo is huuuuge . so that means our photos will be big too ! and so i've come to the conclusion that in light of Australia's recent paranoia about terrorism , the government doesn't mind that all their citizens look extremely weird and horrible in their pictures . we're not even allowed to smile with our teeth showing ! oh and our ears must also be seen . lol . say it with me : paranoia .

anyhooo , ever after's on tv and i think i'm going to go watch :)
goodbye all .

temporary euphoria

who would've thought that a romantic movie could make me cry so much . lol . i don't believe i've cried so much watching a movie since 'the passion of the christ' . but yes , it's a good movie ! i never thought i'd be saying that about a sappy movie ... alrite , go ahead all of you , laugh . i must say though , ryan gosling has really grown out of his ugliness . he's really quite hot now . and of course , james marsden was in it ... being a bastard . as usual . can't stand him . lol .

so on the whole , i would say that today has been a great day - good food , good company . went off to freo right after the applic exam (which went alrite i guess , don't really want to talk about it) . sarem and chantelle came to pick us up from school and off we went . the drive to freo was scary cos chantelle drives like a psycho - 4 people in the backseat screaming , "geez chantelle ! are you trying to kill us all ?!"

pizza for lunch and the waiter (his name was rohit) was checking sarem out ... commented on how nice her braids looked and then gave us a large pizza when we asked for a medium one . haha . walked around freo after that . ahh ! i really need money dammit . want . to . shop . badly .

oooh and garbo sure is dodgy on thursday nites ... 2 fights broke out and we're still not sure if they were connected to each other . but yeah , these guys punching and shoving each other .

and btw , why does nobody remember ryan gosling when he acted as young hercules ?! i swear he used to be on that tv show ages ago ! will somebody please tell me that they remember ... cos whenever i say that people look at me strange and go , "ooook ..." shame on all you teenyboppers who don't remember ! lol . well anyway , he was blonde and skinny with a centre parting - fresh out of the mickey mouse club .

so anyhoo . i think i might go now . try to sleep early ... going to orchestra tmr morning at 7.30 . ahhhhh . leah better make me some of those yummy biscuits for breakfast !

i was in a really good mood , but now i'm not .
can't concentrate on studying ...
the stupid 2nd valve on my trumpet keeps sticking ...
i've put on weight ...
my throat feels sore and my nose keeps dripping ...
all the good shows are on tv tonight , which means i will probably end up watching them (and trying to absorb information during the commercial breaks) ...
my least favourite exams are tmr ...

aaaaaaaaaaaaargh .
kill me now , please .
(remember : i prefer the bathtub - i quite like the water)

i feel like taking some stupid quizzes right now .

almost halfway through the mocks ...
econs wasn't too bad today . this is the first time i've walked out of the exam hall feeling quite good about the exam . i hope i do ok , cos i actually prepared for this one .

mmm . macca's for lunch - big mac . i love . something nice and not-so-healthy !

hmm . anywayyy , i think i might go now .
2 exams tmr - human bio and accounting .
stupid . both on the same day .

why hello there .
the english mocks are over !
not exactly rejoicing , but hey , at least that's ONE down . i just thought the first passage for comprehension was a little morbit - what with the woman burning herself to death so she could be with her deceased husband . ok sweet , but a little disturbing .

hmm . thought i might add a bit of colour to this (whee , look it's yellow!) , there are two reasons for this :
1) i'm bored
2) i'm procrastinating (i don't wanna go stuuuuuddyyyy...)

well it seems that i have nothing more to say and i shall now channel this boredom (and not to mention procrastination) into playing some random online games . oh miniclip.com , i love you .
(ooh lookie , attilio just walked past!)

today was a good day .
we studied , i bought new undies (sale at target ! wooohoo!) and we bitched . no wait , we discussed people as jo would say . except i think manal's entire neighbourhood heard us because her bedroom window was open and we talk very loudly . lol . i'm thinking that her neighbours were saying , "my god . those girls talk a lot ." oh did i mention that we also ate ? (but hey , what's new eh)

anyway . twas a good day today and i'm feeling rather awake .
but i think i'll probably go off to bed now cos i have to wake up early yet again for study tmr . i can' t believe i'm actually saying that . what a revelation , lynda is studying .

oh and in other breaking news , RICKI LEE GOT VOTED OUT OF IDOL !! i cannot believe it . i'm quite upset and i thought she was going to win . vote dammit , vote . this is what happens when everyone thinks that the good ones are safe from being voted out .

ok ok , i should go . for real . i just realised how freakin' long it takes for me to go offline . i can't stop talking (or typing) dammit .

fucking rain

i have NEVER been so fucking pissed off at the rain before . and i do realise how crazy i sound right now , because who in the world is EVER angry at the rain ?!

my entire morning was ruined , and i'm sure whoever's reading this right now would like to know what happened :

got up early enough to get ready and everything - i even had time to change my outfits a few times before deciding on one . everything was going fine : my hair wasn't frizzing up and the outfit i finally chose was pink . while getting my cup of tea , dad offers to give me a lift to church (cos i had to sell raffle tickets) but i declined because i thought i'd be healthy and walk there instead . as i was leaving , i said to my dad , "ahh . it's raining." and he said , "no larh. it's not raining . i was just out there ." so i walked .

as i walked , it started to drizzle and i thought nothing of it . AND THEN after a while , it starts to fucking pour . i continue walking for a while more , until i realise that it's actually raining very heavily and the wind is blowing . so what do i do ? i run down this little path leading to someone's home and take shelter under their garage .

called my dad and asked him if he could pick me up from there , but he says to just wait till the rain dies down because he has a client waiting for him for home viewing . so i wait . and then the rain does sort of die down , so i decided to start making my way home . because after all , i'm ALREADY drenched and so why not ( and no way was i going to church in that state) . thanks to my dumb luck , it starts pouring again and so this time i had to hide under someone else's garage and i call my dad - he reluctantly comes to pick me up , lecturing me i might add .
"next time when i offer you a lift , just graciously accept the offer."
"well how the hell was i supposed to know that it would rain so heavily . and i DID say it was raining before i left , but you told me it wasn't raining . so i just walked ."
-silence-
we arrive home .
dad : "and you also don't have the key."
he throws his keys at me so i can open the door and then drives off .

how suay can a person get ? VERY apparently . argh .
so now after a hot shower (yes my 2nd for the day) , i'm sitting here venting my anger on my blog . decided i'd wear my happy boxers in the hope that their happiness could rub off on me . oh yes , and i never made it back to church in case any of you dumb fucks reading this didn't realise . tina and louis : you're spared from buying raffle tickets from me , but i hope you bought some from the ppl there anyway !! tom (i don't know if you read my blog) : sorry i never made it ! you can pass the stuff to me tonight . because i WILL make it to church tonight .

it's times like these i wish i could drive . geez . which brings me to my next rant : if i had learnt how to drive earlier on , then i wouldn't have to constantly ask my parents to drive me to parties or friends' houses or to murdoch uni to study . and i also wouldn't have to endure my dad always saying , "dont' stay out too late ah . i want to sleep early and i'm so tired . aiyah , i'm so tired now - so busy , running around all day . so many things to do ."

anyway , like i said before , fucking rain .
(the song "why does it always rain on me" comes to mind)

"eat the sound of bamboo shoots"
- some friendly advice from chairman kaga . haha . i just love 'iron chef' .

hmm . i feel like changing my blogskin , although i really like this present one . in a weird but happy mood at the moment . once again had another productive study day ! i simply love our study group . so even though they (jo and manal) won't read this : i love you guys and thanks so much for making it enjoyable (as weird as that sounds) .

anyhoo .
feeling kind of tired so i might have an early night .
tmr will be yet another good sunday (we all know why) . plus , i get my pop tarts and incubus cds - heeheehee .

some people are just so fucking selfish and irritating .

flash ! ah ah .

ok don't ask . was just listening to Queen and so the song is stuck in my head . "what do you mean , Flash Gordon approaching ?"

hmm anyyyyyway . here's something funny that was found in our applic text book by Sadler :


hahaha . how random is that . sadler is strange , thank you for confirming that .

everybody now !
*how would you like to live beside the seaside , how would you like to live beside the sea ... *

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yet another random note :
i don't exist on friendster ! lol . if you type in Lynda , about 4 Lyndas pop up . but i am none of the four that pop up . and if you type Lynda Loo , it says "your search returned zero results" . hmm . like what the ...

ahh . wonder what my hair will be like tmr ! going to wash it and it will be all wavey again . hope it still looks nice . oh well , i've taken all the pictures i need to remember it anyway . lol .

off to bed i go , night all .

my haircut ! ah ! i love it . hehe .
(bearing in mind that it will not remain straight for long)

shall blog more later .
got to go help with the dishes .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(updated!)
ok i'm back , just like i promised .

been extremely productive these past few days . in other words , i have been studying. it is for this reason that i am in very high spirits ! there are other reasons , of course .
1) i crave pop tarts and i will be getting some soon (sunday maybe)
2) a kind friend of mine is going to burn a whole bunch of incubus cds for me
3) food and music - mmm . i like .
4) i got a haircut today . finally .
5) it's (the hair) is straight , smooth and shiney . for now , anyway .

apart from studying , i've also been eating lots - mostly thanks to jo . we seem to eat a lot whenever we're together . hmm . this will make me feel extremely guilty and fat , but what the hey :

monday - hungry jacks
tuesday - nachos and potato with sour cream , cheese and other good stuff .
- a packet of chips (salt and vinegar , i might add)
wed (today) - a packet of doritos (nacho cheese !)
- a latte
- a milo bar
- choc. milk

ahhh . so you see , at the rate i'm going ... i might end up grossly overweight . eeks - which is why i'm aiming to eat less tmr . yes definitely , less .

i'm quite surprised that i'm actually enjoying those holiday revision courses at murdoch uni . except my accounting class is so damn quiet , it's strange . the first day there , the teacher was an hour late and so all 10 of us were sitting in the room - in complete silence . so much so that it was driving me nuts . but ppl started talking after a while , so it was all good .

the applic teacher , mrs. law , is wonderful . i love her already . ha ha . if only we had her as our teacher , then perhaps i would have been able to know what's going on in class . funny how she makes things less complicated than they seem (very unlike mr yeang) .

anyway . merrick and rosso are on tv and i want to go watch , so goodbye for now .

new link !
and i keep getting blood noses . grr .

the last day of term 3 has finally arrived ... and it's been a day full of ups and downs.
it started off pretty horrible , felt so shitty all morning . took some stupid pictures and movies during recess , cos leah was being silly with the digi cam .

the rest of the day got better though , after the bottled up anger and frustration all got let out . so i had lunch with ms. oram , just talking and stuff - she's a champ . and then got to english , only to have ms. perera confiscate my earrings ! the funny thing is that i've had all (7) earrings on since the first time i came to santa - which is about 2 yrs ago . and then suddenly on the last day of term 3 in year 12 she decides to confiscate it . seemed as if elise and leah were more upset about it then i was . lol . but ahh well , i should get them next term - i hope i do . i'd better . i love those earrings .

the day finished off nicely with our music class skipping last period to go watch the camp video . lol . saw bits of our year 11 snow white rock musical as well ... quiiiiite embarrasssing . and then we watched our performance of 'amy & the amettes' and charlie . good times .

anyhoo . i think i might go take a nap now ... kind of sleepy cos i didn't end up having an early night . hmm . will probably be going to tina's for dinner tonight , just as a little end-of-term thing . then the serious studying begins sunday ... hopefully .
