to english tomorrow...............paper 2.

i hope i can write well on one of the general questions....

"Man's love is a thing apart; 'tis a woman's whole existence.' Byron...though they dont say that...i mean what an awsome topic to write on

we have proctor brought to his knees by his adultery
abigail obsessed with proctor and dancing on graves apparantly...which i need to find
elizabeth if need be
nora!! yay...
and if need be dr. Rank/ torvald...
okay find quote time

Gosh, i miss gummy bears...

don't you? geez i remember having those tiny gummy bears...they were so small...but i still only ate one at a time...and they all tasted the same... but were so gummy!!^^

i was just watching mortal kombat...another childhood favourite...^^...yes i was a strange little girl...my grandfather like martial arts movies so i watched them too!!LOOLL when i was in prep in my old school, we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up (it went in the school year book -but i didn't know that then)so when everybody said firewoman, vet...or something...i said karate kid LOOLL...the true story of a VERY STRANGE CHILD!!!!!

i never thought i would grow up...and if i did i thought we would all be everything like...xena...who travels around doing good and being cool(in a campy way)!!...i was a nineties child!LOL It really never occured to me till...about a week ago...that we might not be able to do everything.

This thought makes me sad.

So the only logical thing to do...is to counter-act this foolish thought!!

Of course we can do everything that crosses our minds on a whimsy. We need to be positive!!!

Must be positive...and find a gummy bear...or two...^^

okay latin

so...i am blogging in hopes of motivating myself to learn the Aeneid in the three nights i have to get it done in...cause i skrewed up before im up to line 90...for all those that do not know ...i must get to line 400..........-.-.........will i get there........maybe...maybe not....gosh i hope so.

math exam on thursday good luck to all those that have chem/chinese tomorrow

we can pull it out of our asses can't we!?!...sure...thats why these exams are the only ones that count!...to give fools like me time to cram in 400 lines of the Aeneid and 26 chapters of Tacitus into a few days!!...i think i'll just learn half of Tacitus though...considering i'm only doing one Tacitus section.

I figure if i do as much as i can tonight then i will just have to do like..6 groups of 40 lines?...tomorrow and the next day...O.o??? LOOOLL..will this work!?!?LOOLL

Might as well try. ...if only that Aeneas could speak in my ear during the exam!! that would be cool.

Latin people and what i'd like to do to them:
1. Tacitus-tell him that he is somehow related to Nero, Piso and Tigellinus combined!
2. Sinon- Hand him over to Hector...heh heh heh, and cut out his tongue...way to verbose!!

okay Ying did a wonderful impersonation of Pliny after i told her how i would like to punch him in the nose for giving me grief in year 11.

YING'S IMPERSONATION:
"caesar, today i encountered a miraculous happening
(marvellous to tell)! a long-haired girl clad in
strange clothes sprang out of my wardrobe and attacked me!"

colubrae

so...i was doing an unseen and the word 'colubrae' was not in the dictionary...so i googled it...and lol.

i get a few returns on it.

One was 'avistrum academy of sorcery'...this was humourous due to the fact vivi and i were dicussing spells today...more specifically the spell of how to open something she said it was porto...and i was like...'i open'...LOOL and got this image of someone bursting...LOOL...any way so then we were trying to find the imperative...this was funny especially as vivi was dressed in a black cape and hogwarts printouts.

and then i thought how awsome we would be at casting spells since we study latin...LOL...we would say stuff...and random junk would happen cause we forgot to decline the noun...or conjugate the verb...LOOOLLL ^^

btw i think ill go a deep red for my nails tomorrow ^^ im getting adventurous

Don't you hate it when...

...you have to be nice?

GAH...it scares me...i mean...what if they don't believe it...or they think you have a few screws loose for smiling to wide? O.o...

Yes Steph i thought of you when he mentioned GAP years

btw if anyone is wondering the blue thing on the wall has fifty prints.

so i also dl the lost boys soundtrack. and am hoping to get the rocky horror picture show soundtrack. 'cause its awsome.

btw i think ill go for light blue nails. the colour is frost bite. its pretty.

Nail Polish

...i think i'll do my toes tomorrow...

so i chose this browny-bronze colour...i dont have really pale skin so im hoping for beetter contrast in the daylight. cause now it kinda blends with my skin which is ...disturbing...considering it is shiney..-.-...

also i wasn't sure if it looks too much like an old person's nail colour...i always get thwarted by my nail polish!! its soooo hard to chose!!!!

i usually go for blue or pink...i like red too but i dont have the really really red ..i have a crimson shade which i think would look okay if i was wearing crimson clothes but otherwise would look too old on me. also i like green, but i have no emerald shade. i have a light green but it has escaped to a safe corner of my desk so that i wouldn't see it. It's crafty i tell you.

I shall research this phenomenon of nail polish further. Oh and i like silver too!!! ^^

quo vadis

one of the highlights of my day was watching tv and seeing an advert for a really old period movie called quo vadis. why is this exciting you ask cause its about Nero <3 the lovable madman...okay well...it also had a scene of Rome burning which is what happens in Tacitus' Annals book XV...the one we study !!! i was so excited...sadly Nero isn't as good looking as the picture of his bust in our latin room so i don't think i'll watch it. he was kinda icky looking in the movie...oh well...i think it's generally agreed that caligula takes the cake though...poor nero ...so much to live up to.

anyway on my teeth. most of the swelling seems to have gone down there is a bit of brusing and i'm losing my double chin which is a thumbs up. and a nurse rang yesterday which i thought was really nice and said that it wasnt wierd that i more swollen on one side, again thumbs up.

but what i logged on here to say was that as i was getting the anethesia they were asking me what subjects i like and i said ummm.. english, latin, umm..history and they were like oh! latin! and im like O.O uh-oh. i know enough to know that when people go 'oh latin' they gonna ask you a question about it. thinking it was delightful that they were being so friendly i was also terrified about the question. and rightly so. 'whats a gerund?' O.O i felt my answer was less than decent 'umm..a verbal adjective..i think' ...

so i looked it up and found it was not as horrible an answer as i thought. simply put a gerund is a verbal noun, a gerundive is a verbal adjective. and now i kinda understand them. hopefully

wisdom teeth

i am still alive after getting four of my teeth removed. i like my teeth...i dont like stitches...blood is disgusting, i pity vampires.

so instead of being a normal person and having my whole face swell or none of my face swell it decided to swell on one side and not so much on the other so it looks like i have a permanent jaw breaker lodged in one side of my mouth. and did i mention my double chin ...on one side...i look a fright. lol...

so to keep this a happy post im gonna show you a piece of my artwork cause i cbf loading them on facebook atm.

this turned out really awsome photographed.









needs a few touchups but i like these.









This is one of my favourites. ^^












So is this. glass is awsome cause it washes.









This is on the wall at school(cause it basically can't be taken down and put up again for my exam)...but it looks cooler here









i hate these little books with a passion due to the face i made two identical mirror images of them...it took me hours...hours when i didn't have minutes to spare. and cbf printing them...who knew there was a right side. -.- oh and if you dont notice...there are other pages. five other pages. in each book.

Did my heart love 'til now?...

...romeo and juliet can kiss IB group four's ass.

Dong:
'my love for you has 14 electrons and a triple bond'
-SO N2

Me:
'My love for you is like Newton's Third Law-inevitable'

So..let me tell you about differentiation...

i am going to be positive about math from now.

So i finished my speech and drama exam. there were a few hiccups but nothing major. i think i need to look up more as i read and i must learn the art of conversation...seriously...i fail at conversing.sad. anyway i am pleased with it hopefully i pass with my usual b. ^^ okay i like creamy soda...i wonder if there is an old fashioned way to make it...btw ted hughes has some lovely poetry go look him up and i got to read moon-theatre for the exam. i even got to write my own scene which one day you'll probably never hear. ^^ wow i cant believe how happy its made me to have the exam done ...i feel...incredibly light. its like being back in yr ten LOL year ten LOLLOL year ten was hilarious if you dont remember for lack of presence LOL *ahem anyway yes soo... to calculus i am resolved to understand it now...now...now that the test is past LOOOLL i failed that test...OKAY gradient functions here i come!!

Math test tomorrow

Inspired by wensi's post on her blog which can be found here:

http://wowsosparkly.blogspot.com/

i have decided to tell you all my patchwork quote.
Now this was a difficult decision as i didnt want any bloody soppy quote or a 'meaningful' quote but something interesting. so i turned to one of the few books i have read - no not LOTR - but to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Controlling the urge to display 'DON'T PANIC' as the quote i began sifting through the entertaining pieces of advice found such as 'On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry to you' or 'A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have' i even refrained from using...

42
but Lo! this i said to myself was a keeper..

'There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.'

i thought it was a good idea i even recall trying something like it when i was younger though my aim wasnt to fly..more just...throw yourself at the ground and dont get hurt..then..watch others and laugh if they do get hurt LOOLL

so yes...honestly i just had an urge to footnote all my quotes...but i wont.

Hence.

so world lit 1,2 and 3 is finished and i still hate math and physics more that english...gosh...sad life.

to look at now speech and drama exam. i am preparing a part from hamlet ophelia speaking. and vobiscum est Iope by Thomas Campion and an original scene. among other stuff but the rest isnt memorised

okay this is a lazy post yeah....

world lit 3

...piss me off.

okay since i am just that peeved i shall write about it here.

1. world lit two (wl2) for eng HL is something we need to do for our final mark hense it must be good.

2. i wrote wl2 on running in the family by michael ondaatje and handed in a draft.

3. i finished the essay and was so content with it i posted about it [see previous posts]

4. i find out a week after i handed in my FINAL COPY TO BE SUBMITTED OFF IN RANDOM IB LAND that i had done the essay on the WRONG BOOK!!!!!

5. i go '...' '...' '...' due to being quite...peeved.

6. i think i took it quite well. there was no yelling/ swearing/ insulting even.

7. i find a new passage.

8. i do the 1500 word essay that night

9. i hand it to my idiot teacher and he gives me a shocked expression described by the words 'what...oh...you want a draft corrected'- he didnt say that. he didnt say much.

10. i get it back to review on the weekend. OH did i mention i have my eighth grade speech and drama exam? next week?..next week thursday...which i still have stuff to memorise for.

11. the essay goes in on monday hopefully it will be of a decent standard.

ps. i hate the leopard.

to finish.

BTW

so...drinking one and a half wine glasses of sherry being 'that time of the month' and splurging on chocolate dont mix well with physics...

so a valuable lesson to all...do not do physics.

im back from being distracted by internals

okay so cause i cant think what to post and i had another scare that i forgot my password i decided to post.

here is a sample of what i have been labouring over...sad but true...this is part of my commentary on the poem 'sweet like a crow' by Michael Ondaatje for world lit 2.

"The imagery of the poem collates to seemingly emphasise the author’s understanding of human nature. The emotionless relating of death as well as life shows an acceptance for the natural world with its cruelty and blessing. The ‘womb full of twins’ can be seen as quite a clinical statement void of emotion and personal bond. The use of the ‘womb’ emphasises the view of the subject not as a person but as a container for new life. This vague detachment felt by the use of the synecdoche in this phrase is enigmatic as the entire poem is about eclectic images drawn together by what seems to be personal experience. This general description of new life may be written to bring the reader into the poem as this symbol of new life and the unspecified ‘womb’ could relate to any human female. The imagery of death and this raw account of the natural food chain follows immediately seemingly to balance the life carried in the womb. The balance of the personal interpretation as well as the aspects of core human nature is displayed in the raw images of life portrayed in the poem."

im proud of the above paragraph cause i basically talk about one word for about a hundred and that i use the word synecdoche ^^

The poem Sweet Like a Crow seems to echo the journey of a human’s perception. Focusing on the great natural qualities of Ceylon, the poem delves into an eclectic array of images. As the poem seems to cast aside ordered scansion and revel in chaotic rhyme the natural world shows its dominant position through the cyclical and inevitable portrayal of life and death. The nature of our existence is key to this poem as it focuses on the diverse experiences one may obtain through a life, and the soft irony is displayed as these events in turn are able influence how we view a new experience.

As you can tell by the lack-lustre conclusion. i abhor conclusions!

and you have no idea how many times i used the word imagery alone!!!

okay this is enough.

words words words

LOL so this is random

i found this after a funny word so i decided to put it here..you see they called a girl 'delectable' LOOLL like a bowl of soup!!!LOL!

"Instead of treating females as non-entities as Confucian orthodoxy had prescribed, the posters not merely showed them, but presented them as gorgeously dressed, professional women that radiated an air of self-confidence. To many, these 'modeng [modern]' girls were a reflection of women's search for a separate identity"
http://www.iisg.nl/landsberger/vis.html

so does objectification give power to women or disempower them?


whatever your answer i bet it contains the phrase 'to an extent...'

...im so sick of the phrase 'to an extent...'

back to art all is almost done.

The sun will come out...tomorrow...its only a day away.

put on your ruby slippers IB friends and click your heels together. we only have four more months of school.

im sitting here doing tok and i have a problem. i dont know what it is but there is a problem.

so ive been told that there are different types of things we know
Known knowns= something we know and we know what it is.
known unknowns= something we know that we don't know <- of which this is one
unknown knowns= something we dont know of but we know
unknown unknowns= something we dont know about and we dont know that we dont know.

i dont really get it... i probably got it wrong and btw it really has nothing to do with tok.

tok depresses me...makes me feel stupid as probably with others too...i mean...gosh

Fascination with work

So I've been collecting data.
this data is about Disney Princesses.
I shall tally the scores now.


Jasmine Supported by: vivi and wensi
Belle Supported by: Me and half of Ying
Mulan Supported by: Danny, Wong, Katherine and half of Ying
Cinderella Supported by: Vincent
Ariel Supported by: Nadz, Steve and Emily Grace Shi
Aurora Supported by: Joanne

Congratulations Mulan (for those who don't know, the Asian one, big surprise there) but what is a surprise is that she won by half a person!!!

And thus Ying is featured in another odd predicament on my blog.

Due to world lit/art/math/school i cannot be bothered to go into more depth.
I was going to think about the princesses work and ours and bitch about that for a while...but LOL honestly cbf...

personal examples please...

so tok

because i am annoyed im writing this post
tok is silly

okay my topic as i have previously mentioned is ridiculous...

so i arrived at the idea that ....

" I believe that everything should be open to rational criticism when in the public forum however the individual should have a right to hold knowledge claims that are not proved by reason if there are no ill effects proven. Thus we should not have hold rational beliefs but for the harmony of society I think rational criticism must hold a solid station." -from my essay

Thus now i am looking at the way of knowing, faith. faith=fides which is the latin word for faith.

fides=trust, loyalty and faith

therefore how can it be trust if you can are able to rationalise the situation?
if someone can have knowledge in another way than just believing it how can you call that faith?

im sooo confused

okay so the idea now is that reason should be applied to the areas of knowledge rather than the ways of knowing ....maybe thats the thing and i just got side tracked ...debating a dead debate...crap okay tok...i hate thee.

plus
if anyone has personal examples that i can use -i have a snazzy one from transformers II- just please please comment and words i want interesting words to spice up my work!!! cool..so tok

The colour of twine is also an important factor...

in the depth and breadth of...tic tacs.... Once the squares were put together...integrating a close relationship between Seamus Heaney...et Punica Granatum.... The world's best-selling little dictionaries...disgraced by getting a girl pregnant...can be added or subtracted algebraically by...Life Education Centres. Branagh sets the timeless tale of...classic freeze dried....Newell Rubbermaid...in the college sick bay...to create naturally a smooth, glossy surface. Molybdenum, Fluorine and Chlorine...delicately caress...the windows to the soul.... Showing an informed, reflective judgement that...as changeable as the weather...meaning trust...Veronika decides to die. Law of Chance...coated in smooth milk chocolate...relates that Napoleon's egotism and...grip colour markers...do not drive a motor vehicle. In their figurative work...Large showy red flowers...made in Thailand...helping fund...the awful fate of Laocoon...made in Australia. Wear a shirt...post-it...and replace cap after use. NON TOXIC


well, get it? O.o

perception and reason

I decided i should blog or i would forget my password again. Now what to blog about well....good question...how about..hmm...well..im thoroughly bored. i know!!! tok...well you see tok is this thing we are subjected to biweekly and yes people i used the word biweekly or i could have used its synonym fortnightly wonderful eh?

anyway i get distracted by words oh gosh! actually i was reading this book online and it used the word 'boon' i mean how old fashioned!! it was so quaint i almost died. anyway i think to make tok interesting i shall throw in some strange words so if anybody has some good ones let me know!!

now our topic is no. 6 'All knowledge claims should be open to rational criticism. On what grounds and to what extent would you agree with this assertation?'

There are three of us doing this topic ying, wensi and i so you can imagine how productive we have been.
ying-caught finishing other work
wensi-caught attempting to find answers online to no avail
me-caught looking for a distraction
sav was there too but she was doing a different topic which i believe included reading emily grace shi's blog.

so a tok aliby: how do you know that we have not been productive??
answer: through perception and reason.
aliby: and i cant be bothered to point out limitations. sooo...

ill get back to physics now

So what do you do in math?

Okay so remember Mumma Mia well here is what math forces us to resort to

Kristen says:
does your mother know that your out!!

viviprawn says:
you're so hot !
teasing me !

Kristen says:
i can chat with you baby flirt a little maybe!!!
try to cool it down!!

viviprawn says:
whatever happened to our love
i wish you understood
it used to be so nice it used to be so good
SO WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME DARLING CAN YOU HEAR ME SOS

Kristen says:
our last summer memories that remain
i was so happy we had met
it was the age of no regret


And this is in addition to our wonderful Aeneid reprise in the style of a mathematical analysis question. it will be loaded someday hopefully soon as there is a diagram to help.

Main characters involved:

Aeneas aka. Dopey
Cruesa aka. Ghost
Dido aka. Die Dodo
and a donut called Yi-Ling and Wong is a cactus^_^ {dont ask me fiona added this}

1. What is the velocity of Aeneas' boat
2. Find the velocity vector of his ship and position
3. Please draw a diagram of the Fishy Boat <-yes 'fishy boat' not fishing boat
4. Find the magnitude of dido's body.[ying excerpt: how racy kristen!]
{kristen: realises the other meaning of the question and adds}
floating down the sea.
(omg. get your mind out of the gutter ying!!)
5. Find the distance between Aeneas and Cruesa using vectors
6. Find the time Dido died and Aeneas/Cruesa/Dido's intersection point

If anyone can suggest solutions...that would be awsome.

Yes people, i did accidentally miss the math exam

...you may now forget about the incident. it was quite embarrassing especially when everybody thought i was upset...but yeah...i advise against doing that.

so ee is now done...i would say yay but really its a load of crock. gah. I'm really annoyed at it and i accidentally tore the envelope that gets sent away with it. -.-' ...not a fun experience. and btw i hate writing in print...loathe it terribly. speaking of loathing...i read twilight while putting off my ee...which led to me getting four hours sleep the night before i was to hand it to my supervisor..i added one thousand words ...yay...and yes i confess i haven't read the damn book. instead i read one of Wilde's plays which was far more entertaining...again...i advise you to read the book you have to write four thousand words on...so apparently 'i heart boys that sparkle' thanks to wensi's initiative...i think it kinda beats the original 'i heart boys that shrivel in the sun' or the more generic 'i heart blood hungry dead guys'...but thats left to one's taste i guess.

i just remembered i did a geography project on vampires in ...a while ago...when i was younger...before...anyway i dont remember when. so i got an A on it as some might want to know. but more importantly i learnt all these creepy things...which one day will resurface in my memory.

so yes LOL twilight the girl is sooo funny...in some respects she is a complete bitch to her friends which is really hilarious considering how many times she ends up alone and mopey...and in some respects she is just like ying! that is if you've ever seen ying play sport LOL sorry ying you know i adore you and worship your 'entertaining-ness' how i miss english...to an extent.

so yes onto history internal.

I AM ME. LOL My tribute post to Katherine's quiz

above is from outlook 9 yes im stealing pics from facebook cause they remind me of 'good times' when it was still asians+2 rather than asians+1. LOL.

yes well i got me on katherine's quiz.

Katherine you are inspirational.

You are the one who is sadly added as an afterthought whenever the group's asian-ness is mentioned. You are a rebel but conduct yourself as a true lady should. You are the one to never be found doing anything "shameful" or "disgraceful". Your hair has almost gained a legendary status and any thoughts of you having short hair borders on sacrilege. Out of the whole group, you are one of the few people who seems to eat the least but always has the most exotic food. You almost never wear your jumper. This has become quite the mystery to some and theories surrounding your blazer have emerged. You have a strong opinion on matters and are not afraid to voice them. You are known to be practical and although you've been at PLC for almost all your life, you are down-to-earth. Your tenacity has inspired some. If we were beached on an island you would be: the one making a raft.

post math test...ee due...

well...this is the third friggin' time i've forgotten my password for this blog...but digging through pics on facebook i came up with a oldie goldie thus i had to share it with you. OUTLOOK 9. how good is it i mean...none of us realised someone was taking a pic LOL..so here's a running commentary of what is inside our heads at that moment

me: '...gold coke...huh...?'
steph:'...photo...is it? really?...*non-expression*'
helene: 'to get candy, or not to get candy'
fiona:'must be a conscientious PLC student;cross legs..check; hands in lap..check;superior expression...'

so..paying attention to shopping malls we had a great time at outlook aka wasting a week wandering around shopping centers and eating. to be honest i don't remember what our topic was.

the city one was awsome!!!we did cultural food as you can so obviously tell...we weren't slacking of randomly in the docklands....no of course not! Those are our manifest bags from our first ever manifest LOL wensi's haruhi haircut!...ying thankfully without a purple wig...me . helene bobbing down..fiona in the back and linh with an ever so similar pose to ying. So now that ive put off doing my ee that's due tomorrow ...i dont know...i dont wanna begin yet...hmm...how about no. to ee it must be done though the teacher doesnt understand my essay...i should have done something generic like LOL 'metamorphosis' wonderful topic eh?...gah i wanted to do comics!! is it that hard to do a literary analysis with comics! i think not! it has left a sour taste in my mouth for the entire essay.

now to finish on a positive note i shall tell you how useful my stanley knife is. i now have a stanley knife. the school has an abundance in the art rooms but...mine is purple and there's is red...well..you'll never know how useful it is!! i swear i needed something in a science prac and scissors dare i say it were inadequate!!what were we to do....we needed something sharp...with only one blade *gasp* i happened to have a school stanley knife in my pencil case thus the day was saved!!!! *cheer* this began my love affair with the ever convenient stanley knife.

OH gosh i must post about ophelia. im playing her for my speech and drama exam. and its the best bit!!!when she's mad...but more about that another day...ee looms...

'oh! Hamlet, Hamlet, wherefore art thou Hamlet.'

Upon finding my copy of the play i was talking to Vivi and we eventuated to applying IB to popular quotes...yes Hamlet IS popular OKAY!!!

what they should have told us:
'the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape'

Our good intentions are as daft as Ophelia:
'show me the steep and thorny way to 99.95'

this is the question we all ask ourselves at the beginning...for ib students we ask it everyday.
'to IB, or not to IB'

On the question of homework:
'now might i do it, pat'...pat is NOT a person...or...perhaps Ophelia has a rival...O.O

Period before homework is due:
'...that the Everlasting had fix'd his canon 'gainst self slaughter!'...said with disdain...

In the middle of IB:
'to sleep, perchance to dream' of 45!!!!...or just sleep..we're not that picky.

A last revival of 'action':
'O, from this time forth, my thoughts be study, or be nothing worth!'

End of IB:
'i am slain'

this will be the culmination of IB:
'words, words, words'


soooo....maths test on thursday....bye.

so i had basically forgotten about this blog until ying reminded me...so now what to post about...well to be honest initially i thought about my toe nails...but LOL ..so the formal is approaching. Vivi and i have been exchanging diet tips. she says eat. i say eat chocolate. she agrees. but to speak frankly im not one to exaggerate the amount of sweets i eat. chocolate, ice cream, lollies, rock candy, and basically anything i scrounge up. so my preparation for the formal has been most entertaining compared to others i imagine. what are you supposed to eat though i mean seriously i gained weight over the forty hour famine...So all these fantasy diets like 'self control' just don't work!! i like pomegranates and we bought a tree so i have the card of it on my desk ..i really want one...but i should tell you about feijoas ..the green things i have been bringing to school...and and and gwen said she liked the cake i made out of it!!^^ i dont have a photo ...its half eaten now. so all is well...i like feijoas they are related to guavas and are otherwise called pineapple guavas i looked it up on wikipedia...it took a while...i didn't know how to spell the word and mangled it so badly neither did google. back to the formal...i have been to the place before due to pipes and drums LOL i say that so often its funny. pipes and drums people!!! it takes you everywhere!!! but you do have to wear a kilt..and the shirts we buy are actually made for guys...so pro's and con's. LOL and have you ever tried walking up the street in a pipes and drums uniform that ...LOL. anyway . so i got this bag for formal-i keep getting distracted by things-and now i dont think my DS will fit. i mean its the cutest bag and it was a feat to match the colour with shoes as do you know how little range there is!! i saw like two pairs of green shoes! anyway i like the beige ones i got they are full toed so good^^ oh and i got these other shoes ...they have semi clear heels and like..yeah i should post them up and the lady was fully like its 120 dollars and im like....but turns out it was only half that. Oh shit i just realised i havent thought a whit about accessories but truthfully what am i gonna do during the formal O.O i can bring origami paper yes indeed i still have to make those cranes and im rambling again and i must do math...sequences and series...and binomial theorum..i believe due to pascals triangle..wait is it pascal ..isnt that a pencil brand? so whatever it somewhat makes sense now...O.O talk about falling asleep in class gosh. Math damn its like dimly lit and well math-y and gah...yr 12 has totally interrupted my lack of a work ethic!

i like these two pics because of the sun and its redness...this is taken from my window one night at sunset.

i always figure some hotels are planned meticulously ...i mean from this view it must look exactly like the plan the builders had...tiny tables..tiny chairs...tiny people...

My favourite Greek goddess Diana otherwise known as Luna and Artemis..Look look she has a deer!!!!^^
i have a horrible habit of dying to see the Merlion each time i go to Singapore!! this is the most recent pic of it ^^
a sunset in Scotland...i think this picture is awsome because that light looks like a moon!!!
this post is dedicated to a few pictures i have taken ...above are camels indeed!!!

a poem by a sweet friend!!!

On days like this,
I stare at you and wonder,
Why are you so pink?
I must taste what is under!

I thought that Ribena was purple,
It seems that I was wrong,
Whatever made you so delectable
It doesn’t matter – I’ve been thinking about you all day long!

People keep on trying to eat you,
But you cannot run away from me!
In the fridge you will stay,
Or i will grow into a fruit tree ......

Now there are only crumbs,
And I realize that it was a mistake.
To consume the existence,
Of my beautiful Ribena cake.

Pipes and Drums to be honest i think i've been really lucky to be involved. ^^ It is the best thing that fell into my path at PLC. So what happened at Geelong this time...well we came third as per usual but sadly we lost best dressed to Scotch grrr... ^^ i worked on my Extended Essay which now has the title 'if the character Dorian is classified as art, how does he suport the ideals of 'l'art pour l'art'?' and plus!! i got these earings. its like the same stalls everytime but ^^ there is always something to look at.

Ribena Cake

I made one. it has three tiers but it only looks like it has two ..this is because the second tier got burnt and i had to cut it off so it shrunk to the size of the top tier...and i didn't have any condensed milk so i couldn't make the filling...so its probably kinda bland on the inside...the cake turned out gray so 'bland' might be an understatement. then the icing looks soo cool and tastes really sweet...i put walnuts on the top.

The Firetruck

Soo....what is the most interesting thing that has happened this week? I saw a firetruck ...not only one but TWO!!!!

Well, we were at the linguistic olympiad thingo at Melbourne Uni. Happily arriving just as they began to dish out the papers we sat down and were totally psyched! We got to take a massive taxi there too at the expense of PLC! what can i say we felt special...so we sat and then heard a weird bell...eyes got wider and people started to look around confused. The basic gist of the silence was..is this a fire alarm? do we seriously need to leave?-.-' ...we did have to leave. but just before we left guess what popped infront of me...unless you know already...trust me..you won't guess...it was...Wong! yes i felt it was totally random but a familiar face is a nice surprise. So we all file out...on the basically the only wet day we've had in how long? but it was okay i had my blazer..shoulder pads and all. so we stand for a while and i see a firetruck pass by the gates in the distance...by the time i had pointed it out it had gone and Jen thought i was crazy...BUT NO I WASN'T!!!! Two firetrucks rolled in and the firemen were all suited up and ....we don't actually know what happened. so after a while we were about to go in again and just as we got to the door...the alarm went off again ...a general groan was heard from the crowd and we dragged our feet back to the grass. ... ... ... eventually we were let back in again. So skipping to the end of our session two odd things happened ...we finished the questions..Hurrah!..but we ran out of time to transfer our answers onto the booklet but all is okay the people were very nice to us...and then we realised 'no ..wait! we aren't group 19 which we had to write on each page of the answer booklet no!! we were group 29!!! whoops..' all was good we changed our number and yes.

this is a very long post ...you probably skipped to this line...-.-

Yr 12

what can i say...i guess the big question is..will i make it?...

but that is ages away so for now i'm looking forward to the next distraction...A Ribena Chiffon Cake...sounds fascinating doesn't it ...well i thought so.

However, here's the sting...i can't make it until i finish my homework ...thus i can't make it...dilemma indeed...

i dont really have much to say ...i just kinda wanted to log on so i wouldn't forget my password again...yes...so...'till another day...

hello everyone

hello...this is my first post on this new blog...im having second thoughts about the colour scheme but the site assured me i would be able to change it later...what am i doing now you might ask..im cutting my lino ^^ its in the shape of a sundial face. This has to be the hundreth time ive been over it..but..yes..school....
right now on my dest there is an array of stuff...no never junk...just marginally useful stuff..like my ink and fountain pen-fully sovereign hill style!...a shell necklace...a merlion clock-which i totally had to buy in singapore it was soo cute and it was staring at me...my grandmother's old phone-which has the whole circular dial and horn like mouth peice to speak and its metal...hair brush..hair ties...crocodial book end-note the singular...and feng-shui device-yes, i found out what it was a year after i had bought it...its kinda cool, entertaining, and you can never go wrong with a compass...but from my research i think the compasses are different to normal soo...anyway i absolutely had to buy it...if it's bargained for it's worth it.
Now my Extended Essay topic is...."the argument of l'art pour l'art in the picture of Dorian Gray pertaining to Dorian's existence as a form of art"...so if anyone has ANY knowlege of what happens in the book do tell...i'm kinda over it.^^
I think this post is long enough ...i'll post again ...hopefully...
