Simplicity at its finest is NOT what i would depict how my life was, nor would i suggest the continuation of my naivety however, as my life escalates into complexity, i hope to keep my optimistic hindsight on life in order to live. Just live. My personal ordeal is to live with no regrets, as though i will die tomorrow. I follow the path that will lead me to who I want to be: someone who people can confide in, to go to when they are in their deepest hour; that's who I want to be. That is my aim in life. Hobbies and interests make my path more flamboyant and enticing, while my family, pet, and friends are the reasons for my existence; the reasons why i try and improve myself. My lack of self motivation for change may be quite obvious, but it doesn't mean that improvement did not occur. It may be so petite, so small, that it's practically invisible, but i guarantee you, i do try. Indefinitely.

whats the time Mr. Wolf ?

Well, accidents happen, some things are just inevitable. I guess you could call that coincidence? But I believe that there are no such things as coincidences in this world. Somet things are just meant to you. But that doesn't mean that it can't be changed. Isn't that's what the furure's all about? Changing your path, or what Lisa likes to call it 'fate.' I wonder, do you think that there are such things? Well, its up to you if you want to believe it or not. Anyways, that's not the point of this blog. This blog is actually about my day. Well, my blogs are usually about my day anyways.

ANYWAYS! I spent the beginning of my holidays mostly at TItan's house. Interesting. Anyways. On Saturday, Khanh, Kelly, Titan and I were just bumming at Titan's house, talking and stuff. Suddenly, Tri decided to be the next Calvin Klein and began talking about fashion ideas regarding to his oh-so-small clothes. We all suggested some stuff and pariticipated in his 'fashion frenzy' LOL! But it was fun and the outcome was pretty good as well. He said that he was going to wear them at camp. We even signed on one of his t-shirt so it looked like a brand ROFLS! How awesome is that?

On Sunday, Titan and I decided to get started on our first debute, just some hobby that we share together, however Khanh invited us to his house to eat phu =). Jason and George was there as well and we played with his wii games. A funny thing was that I bet Jason in tennis, George beat me, and Jason beat George. How strange is that huh? Anyways, the food was quite nice! I wonder if he made it himself hahaha =), but THANK YOU KHANH for the food anyways. They taught TItan and I how to play a game called 'signal,' and things got pretty heated up *coughcoughcough* EWWWW! Get your mind of ouf the gutter! Of course not that kind of heated up way, another heated up way. We were all in a competitive, friendly situation during the game. It was just crazy! It was like pig, bullshit and goldfish combined in the same game! We had to use signal to indicate to our partner/group that you have all of a the same suit. Ours was including a number in our sentences. We kind of stuffed one of the sentenes up so the boys kept on teasing about our signal is something girly or what the time was LOL! Anyways, our punishment was to drink a glass of water. Okay, don't think its a stupid punishment and all! Titan and I were amatuers in the game so I think it's fair to receive an easy punishment. Anyways, things bgean to even out during the games. We were on even grounds as game continued.

Since it was already getting dark, and I couldn't really find a safe way home, my mum allowed me to stay over at Titan's house. It wasn't bad. I spent half my night watching movies that Khanh lend to TItan ROFLS! I watched 'Don't Mess WIth The Zohan' and it was a pretty interesting movie. It didn't really make me laugh, and more like digusted in a way, but over all it was a pretty 'interesting' movie =).

PS. For a way of transport, I've been rollerblading the pass couple of days =) ! WOOT WOOT! I haven't roller blade in ages! I know I'm a bit wobbly on my feet but hey, practice makes perfect.

how to celebrate the last day of year 11

First step, organize a subject excursion on the last day of term, eg. Biology or Senior Science excursion on Friday 26th of September, 2008.

Second Step, dress in casual, comfortable clothes which you think is suitable for bush walking (not to mention that you've already had a major walk up a mountain 3 days ago). Remember to pee before you go, because there won't be toilets during the whole trip. Bring a bottle of water, Sunscreen, hat and possibly food. Play or talk during your wait for the tardy bus.

Step three, once there, slip, slop, slap sunscreen and protective gear and begin the walk through the national park. Watch out for rebounds, spiky leaves, water and uneven ground. Don't forget to be educated by your teacher and take in the view.

Step four, take a rest half way of your journey. Drink, snack, or just view the scenery, not to mention you're on the edge of a cliff so be careful to not freak your teacher out. Just playing loud music can also piss of the teacher, so if you don't want to lose your i-phone, don't play near him.

Step five, make your way down the hill. Be extra careful of where you're landing because the height between two steps can be quite huge. Slow down, take a res
t and wait for your oh-so-slow teacher to make his way to you. Don't get lost, or roll down the hill because it WILL hurt.

Step six, dip your aching feet into the waves of the beach. Relax on the sa
nd, play in the water, or just simply take pictures of the beautiful scenery. In short, enjoy yourself. You can push your friends into the water, and splash them, then they will splash you back so you all will get wet, and take a picture of the kodak moment for memories of the last day of being year 11, as well as the interesting excursion.


Us at the beach.

Step seven, clean yourself off at the toilets, then enter the bus again. Stop at McDonald and have a snack. Rest, eat, dry your clothes or play with your PSP for the rest of trip. Arrive at school and visit people. Wait for the school bell to ring and go home.

The End =) !

PS. I've taken the photos from Lisa G. so thank you Lisa for providing the pictures!
PSS. If you're wondering which one is me, I'm the one in the blue singlet =).

crossroad camp

22O9O8 - Lisa T.'s 17th Birthday.
23O9O8 - Mitchell's 17th Birthday.
24O9O8 - Vi's 17th Birthday.


Monday - We aboard one of the three buses for camp. I was sitting with Titan, while Sarina was sitting with Kelly, Jenny with Maylina, and Lisa, Katty and Cathleen together, etc. We had a stop at McDonald, then continued our trip.

Titan and I on the bus.

It was the afternoon once we arrived at our destination, Illaro Camp. The weather there was quite strange. First it was really hot, then sprinkles, then cloudy, then hot, then rainy. This temperamental cycle of weather was almost driving us nuts! However, it was quite a sight for sore eyes. It was something different to view, a different site to explore, a different smell to sniff.

Julie was picking up flowers =).

Of course, including the food and the activities, everything else was... not as satisfying. For example, there were plenty of spiders, whether dead or alive, in all our rooms. There were sudden black outs, waves of cold showers and things that go bump in the night. The taste of food varies at time, but overall it wasn't bad. In saying this, some people filled their stomachs with midnight snacks of instant noodles. Each activity we had were two hours each, and most of were kind of boring LOL! The manager and employees were Aboriginal people! How awesome is that? Anyways, they warned us about toads, snakes and spiders dwelling around the areas that we were staying in. Another negative matter about the camp was the amount of crap! Every 5 - 1o steps there were a pile of crap, whether dog crap, cow crap, chicken crap, or horse crap! My God xO! You can't really smell it though, so that's a good thing.

Our attempt of making a pyramid.

The first night, we ended with a Trivia Night, and everyone was so heated up from it! Sounds of screams, yells, thumping heart beats, and music was crashing into each other, like a chaotic circus act! There were the winners, and there were the last place people. The winners, you ask? Obvious, a group of intellectual people. I won't be able to name them all because it was a big group after all. It seemed like everyone had something to prove =). Good for them. We sang Happy Birthday to Lisa T. WOOT WOOT for her!

Anyways, our cabin played monopoly before we went to sleep. Our cabin contained of Lisa L., Bich, Kelly 1, Sarina, Titan, Julie, Anh, another Vietnamese person who I forgot their name is (when I find out I'll add it back in here) and I =)! Lisa seemed to be having bad luck during the game, and Titan was on a roll! Did I tell you how we found a frog in our toilet? Yeah, we did, and Kelly and I helped it get out of the toilet, and let it out near the muddy creak. I heard a lot of toads at night, I just hope that it wouldn't be eaten, or that it's a mother frog and that there's actually tadpoles in the toilet O_o.

The frog in our toilet.

Anyways, I didn't really sleep much but that's okay. Seemed like everyone had their habits exposed during camp =). All in all, one night gone.

Our choc-chip banana cupcakes =).

Tuesday - It was Mitchell's birthday that day, so we sang him Happy Birthday a couple of times during the day YAY! For a lesson, we cooked banana choc-chip cupcakes hahaha! I was stuck with Peter D1. I thought he was partnering up with Thi, so I'd be partnered up with Cathleen, but I guess not. Mitchell was partnered up with Jade, and Titan was partnered up with Kelly, so yeah. Oh yeah! We were split into 4 groups from the beginning in order to finish the activities. Anyways, back to the cooking. Neither Peter nor I were good cooks so we had some trouble getting started. We had trouble with the mixing and filling the small cups with the filling, but we managed to finish. We had a flour/mixture fight and hence, our top half was covered with flour LOL! We did the chores, and somehow I got stuck with Jackie G.'s chore O_o'. But I finished it anyways. I managed to ask my friends to help me save some for my mum, and she said they were yummy! WOOT WOOT!

Jenny, Maylina, Katty and Cathleen.

Anyways, back to camp. Mr. Donohue told us that we were all going for a walk up the mountain and boy was it steep! I'm not kidding. It was seriously steep as you got closer to the top. People were dragging their feet, sweating from head to toe, and complaining during the journey. How can they not? It's like every turn, you'd think it was the end but it was just another steep hill they had to complete! However, once we got up to the top, it was satisfying, in my opinion. The sense of accomplishment. We went there in there first place to receive reception because where we were camping, there weren't any reception. The sight was quite nice too. Maybe not the most beautiful site, but still just as good.

My accomplishment of finishing the Illaro fire trail =).

Titan, Kelly, Sarina, Julie and I.

We had Talent Quest that night. It was amazing! I really wished I've recorded it or have taken pictures! Oh wells, I'll just tax some from the others and I'll try to upload them on this blog, later on. Anyways, there was a mixture of talent from many different individuals! Whether it was dancing, singing, playing instruments or just acting, they were all fantastic! So the show was very good! Mr. Donohue was invited into some of the shows as well hahaha! Accidents happened. Unfortunately, my camera lens stopped working T__T! Now I have to repair them for $150 ZOMG!

Injuries occurred. Mistakes been revealed. Another ended. AS IF! ROFLS! But still, it was sad for accidents to happen =( , no predicted to happen. To liven up things, we played '
Truth Or Dare,' MWAHAHAHAHA! It sure was interesting. secrets were exposed, limits were tested, lines were crossed, and moments were broken. It was fun. It was wrong. Overall, it sure was interesting! We moved on from the game, and decided to tell ghost stories, but that didn't really turn out well. Just scary images popped up here and there, scaring ourselves to death. In the end, we just went to sleep. Sarina, Kelly and I thought of going out at night to pull pranks, but that didn't turn out as planned. Oh wells.

Wednesdsay - It sure was cold in the morning. Sarina and I went to play soccer to warm ourselves up. However, besides getting hot, we also got wet from diving for the ball before it fell into the mud. Of course, half the time it did enter the mud, but we managed to get out of it anyways. We changed a new outfit and then went to our last activities. We agreed that STI was the most interesting, education, and entertaining lesson out of all of them. We packed our stuff, said our goodbyes, took pictures and got ready to leave. Before that, we took a grade photo of CVHS.

Year 11's CVHS.

It was awesome! I think during this whole trip everyone got more co-operative, and closer in a way LOL! No, seriously =). Anyways, an Aboriginal performer sang for us as a farewell act. Before we entered our buses, we sang Happy Birthday to Vi hahaha! So many birthdays on camp! It was also Sophy's and Kevin's birthday during camp, but I wasn't sure which day it was. Anyways, we left and got home at different times. I believe it's safe to say that we were all tired.

PS. I'll add pictures in this blog when I'm not capped anymore =). Some pictures may be taken by other people as well, so thank you! I have more camp pictures on Facebook if you want to see more.

bargain shopping =)

Just yesterday, Titan, Vincent and I went bargain shopping for camp. Oh darn! We forgot to buy lollies >_< ! Oh wells. Anyways, you can seriously find really good bargains if you look closely enough hahaha! Anyways, I just wanted to comment about our shopping hahaha! Nothing much. I finally finished my packing after much thought between the clothes, the socks and the hygenic things I needed to bring for camp tomorrow. I can't believe we have to get to school by 6:OOAM OMG! That means I have to wake up at 5 o'clock T_T! No way! Anyways, when I come back from camp, I'll blog about it and provide pictures of the whole thing hahaha! I just hope I don't have something unlucky happen to me because everytime I go on camp, something unlucky seem to happen. For example, in year 5 I got sick on camp, and in year 10 I twisted my ankle =/ anyways wish me a safe trip and good luckies! And I'll definitely have fun =) ! BYE BYE!

OVER!

16O9O8 - Bich's 17th Birthday.

Boy am I happy that the prelims are over! Boy, it was just last week that everything was over... technically it was just last week... BUT THAT"S NOT THE POINT! I'm so happy that I don't have to worry that much anymore! I can finally sleep well without worrying about having a test in just a couple of hours, then again, lately it's been so hot that it's not that easy to sleep anyways.

You know, I can't believe that I went to school last Wednesday, thinking that I had my SLRS 1 unit test! I went there and all i saw was Extension Maths people there! I was wondering... where on EARTH were all the SLRS people went to! Then people started telling me that there wasn't a 1 unit SLRS exam! DAMN! Sarina accompanied me to Mr. Donohue to ask about it, and damn, I stand corrected. Then we went to the PE room in hope of asking Miss De-Carli herself, but she wasn't there, so Miss Vallak told me about it instead. Darn! I thought the only thing changed was chemistry, from Bich's information anyways. Okay, even if there was a test (when there isn't), it would've been at 12:30PM so I went to for no reason at all! I couldn't be bothered to go home again because the weather was kind of windy, so I stayed at school and watch Mitchell and Linda study for Modern History. Later on, I went walking to the station with Jenny, so it wasn't so lonely. I saw Brenda and Jessica G. at Cabramatta station. Both of them were preoccupied with something. Yes, I took the bus home and fell asleep straight away!

Okay, my exams were ... managable I guess? I managed to finished all the questions for the majority of my exams, so that's okay. The whole week passed so fast, and yet so slow. I don't know how to explain it but it's just at times you'd think the time had pass so quick, but at other times, you'd wish the time would slow down a bit more. Anyways, Friday! It was our very last day of exams. I had Biology and Extension English on the same day and neither of them had I seriously planned my exams out, if you know what I mean. BUT! I did study. Unlike my other exams, I really attempted studying, I really tried hard and study so I think I'll be okay what the marks would come out as. You know, I don't think Mr. Ward took it seriously with our test because most of us finished like about half an hour early and was just going over answers or doodling around. I attempted to entertain Cathleen and Lisa L. but they weren't impress. So much for my clown career... LOL! Extension English was next, and that was just ... yuck!

YAY! All exams finished! It's finally over! Everyone quickly grabbed their bags and went outside cheering and screaming and all pleased that it's finally over. We all just stood around for a bit before we left. I accidentally ripped my skirt (thank God it was on the sem) while I jumped over the fence *coughcough.* Titan, Sarina, Vincent and I waited for Kelly just outside the school area. We took turns playing with Titan's bike and I almost fell backwards on it when I attempted to ride uphill! Anyways, we walked and walked and blah blah blah. Let's just skip everything else and talk about the more exciting things. We met up with Katty; Titan had her first statement; Kelly, Sarina, Vincent and I went shopping for ingredients to cook at Titan's home, with Kelly and Vincent buying it all (Kelly paid the most xO!); as amateurs, we helped each other cook the food, Vincent did the frying and soup; we ate, content and satisfied; made fruit salad with vanilla icecream. The end.

So that's how we celebrated the finish of ours exams! I can't believe it but camp is just tomorrow! WOOT WOOT! =)

PS. Bich's birthday was on the same day as our 2 unit maths exam! Oh dear O_o'. Don't you just hate it when you have an exam on your birthday? However, I'm sure Bich will have really good marks for it! It was her birthday afterall! =)

12O9O8 - Boran's 17th Birthday.

LOLOL! I'm just saying it out loud here =.=. Wells, at least I've done one right ... out of seven =.=

ANYWAYS! GOOD LUCKIES EVERYONE! I don't know if I should wish them to not pass since there's a saying that goes:

"if you fail prelims, you'll pass for your hsc."

Okay I don't know if it's true or not, so I'll just say I hope you pass for BOTH! =) OH! And people say not to study for the test 1/2 hour before the test, then agains, our year adviser, Mr. Donohue, said to not study at all on the day. Wells, I'm trying not to panic like I did before so *relax relax relax* !!! Let's all do stretches, meditate, listen to music, run around, anything that'll calm yourself before the test!!!

Sunday 7 September 2008

drink to celebrate

O7O9O8 - Christopher's 17th Birthday.

Yesterday, Titan invited me to a friend's birthday, called Khan. When we got there, it was a bit awkward since I didn't know anyone. We offered to help with the cooking, so we helped cook spring rolls. Khan's female cousin is also called Khan. I guess it's a unisex name =).

Anyways, I actually ate a squid! Something with tentacles xO! It wasn't nice but at least I faced my fear of tentacles xO! Anyways, Kanh's friends came over at about 4 PM. There was George, Jason, Vinh, Alfred, Michael and Adam. I tried to lighten up the mood by telling lame jokes, but it didn't really work. Oh wells xD! Everyone was drinking beer, so I had a bottle myself =). It wasn't bad, but I think it's a bit too bitter for me, but I still drank most of it anyways because I didn't want to waste it. MWAHAHAHA I spiked Titan's drink with a little bit of beer ROFLS! But, at least was only beer, and that I spiked it and not other people spiked it xP. But it was stil bad of me. My breath smelt of beer and I started to panic because I was scared that my mum would find out. George was nice to give us chewing gum, so I don't smell like beer nymore. Michael was the most drunk out of all of us! Adam had to look after him. We had some cake and played different card games. George helped me with the game 'six.' He was good at bullshit as well!

Titan, Kanh and I walked back to Titan's house to give Titan's mum some of the BBQ food. THANK YOU TITAN for your jumper, because it kept me really warm xD. Oh yeah, they had a white maltese called Lucky =). It was so cute, but it got my clothes dirty. Well, it's my fault for holding the dog when it was wet from the rain.

Anyways, we went to the moon festival and watched the fireworks. We played a spinning ride and I saw David there lols. I threw my hands up and screamed xD hahaha! It was fun! For the first time, I didn't feel scared! Michael, Titan and Kanh (female) felt dizzy from the ride LOL! But they got better. Anyways, we went our separate ways, and went home. What a night!
