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.

temporarily gone

My dear friends,

GOOD LUCKIES for the HSC!

Thanks to Kelly, she has changed my password for both facebook and msn, and I for hers. I am sincerely sorry that I cannot converse with you guys, but this is for the greater good. This will be the last time of me logging onto my computer. Hence, this will be my last blog entry, for now, because it will be on hiatus due to my studies =). I'll be on again after the 5th of November, when I finish my last HSC exam. If you were to ever see me online on msn, please do not speak to me because that will NOT be me. My old msn signs me in automatically and unfortunately, since I supposedly deleted the program, I don't know where exactly can I sign off it from. My dear mum will be using the computer for her studies too, so do not assume that it is I who is on the computer, even if I am 'online' on msn. That is all. Farewell everyone!


Sincerely yours,
Fiona Woo =).

pizza party

This wasn't the usual parties I go to, but what the heck =D! Just a few minutes ago, I returned back from a pre-HSC party hosted by Peter D1. and boy was it enlightening and entertaining LOL! It was deja vu, just like the formal. This includes the hot dancing, the stripping and the carrying of people over our heads. Unlike last time, this time there was a bit more stripping and a bit more kissing ... talk about extreme LOL! I'm sure Jason S. knows what this mean =D. Unfortunately, I saw a bit too much skin than I wanted too, and had a bit too much alcohol too. THANK YOU PETER for shouting us the drinks and the food =D! It was a pretty awesome party, and I believe Vicky now supports Canley Vale more than her own school MWAHAHAHA! That's okay, it's not like we partied all day and night. At least we did some studying during the day =D. I just hope I don't get a hang over tomorrow morning because I'm planning to go to state library with Vicky and Kelly. Ciao!

PS. I had my first shot, of whatever it is, today! WOOT WOOT!

Starshots competition winner

The title says it all - I am the winner of the competition held by Starshots Glamour Photography studio. Last Saturday, at Moon Festival, Kelly, Minhky, Joes, Vicky and I all signed up for the competition and apparently, I won ROFLS! According to Kelly, the chances of one of us winning was quite high, seeing that she could still see the bottom of the barrel =). In 3 weeks time, I'll be receiving my 20 x 24 framed photo YAY! I have one phrase to describe the experience:

I felt like a STAR!

SEF-WHAT?

SEFTON!

So why am I celebrating their graduation with them, seeing that I am not a Seftoner? Simple - because they bothered to come to our formal, to visit us =).

Con-Graduation - Carina Guan.

Yes, she is so adorably lame xD! Anyways, it was my first time to Bicentennial Park yesterday, and boy was it big! I wish I could have taken some photos to show you how big the place was! Rather than me being bothered about giving a description of the place, why don't you have a look below:

Aerial shot of Bicentennial Park.

Some Seftoners played football, some walked around, some sat down to talk and some went biking. Eric gave me mini tour of the park hahaha! Thank you Eric! We found this pretty garden which we beleve is dedicated to lovers. We also saw a fountain, planet/star architectures and a large sundial! Seeing that I didn't want to eat their food because I'd feel guilty about eating and not paying, Eric, Vicky and Mimi were nice enough to give some food to me =D thank you!

Vicky, Carmen, Maxine and I.
Me, Jennifer, Mimi, Lily and friend.
Photo I took of Eric, sitting in the sundial.

Like what Eric always says 'Onwards!' Manly beach, here we come! Oh, please don't ride a ferry on a cold and windy day? If so, bring extra warm clothes! And a hat =). We made sand castles, played in the sand, etc. but I think people preferred Bondi instead =). Oh wells! There's always after the HSC! It'll be summer then! You know, I wished we stayed longer because it was said that the penguins were going to come out at night, to breed. Alas, our stomach disagreed. Back to the city!

Vicky and I at Manly.

Vicky, Eric and I were so hungry and tired that we went ahead and ate somewhere while the others were still deciding where to eat. We had kebabs =) and we even made our own kebab remix song >=D LOL! Thank you to Vicky and Eric again for shouting me food xO! I feel so bad! I owe you guys!

After eating, we met up with the other at a cafe and seeing that they were still eating, we started stacking glasses =) ROFLS! I guess were were noisy, because the waitress came and took it away from us LOL!

Then came the games! There was this game called the Taiko game and the game utilises those Asian drums we see in lion dances and at festivals. Eric, Andrew and Vicky got addicted to teh game hahaha! They even said they wanted to buy one xD!

You know, I haven't been to Capitols for a very long time, and when I did go I couldn't help but think how colourful the place was! The photo machines, the music and the grabbing toy machines *sigh* doesn't that bring back old memories? I remembered how I once spent almost $1O to get one toy from those machines. Am I hopeless or what?

Passion Flower sure is the best place to go for a sugar rush >=D Actually, ERIC is the best person to go to for a sugar rush ROFLS! Again, the waitress had to take the cup, containing bags of sugar, away from us because we were stacking it up, playing with it, and pouring it into everything we can find =). To hide the evidence, we placed the empty packets into one, making it look like there's something inside, and almost left the empty packets in the cup. Keyword: almost. Anyways, back to the shots of sugar >=). Vicky, Andrew, Jack, Vincent and I all had a go in sculling down shots of sugar concoctions, made by Eric. You do NOT want to know the consequences... All I can say is everyone got high at some point. Vincent and Vicky's duration of sugar rush seemed to be evenly spread out while Jack and mine sugar rush were more like an explosion. You know, why get drunk on alcohol when you can get high on sugar? LOL! You might want to drink lots of water afterward. I still have a slight head ache from the sugar rush last night xO! If you liked to see what happened at Passion Flower please go to this site and this site.


2OO9, Capital Square, 12 AM, 'EM PLEH!' - Vicky Fong.

PS. Vicky + Melissa + Vibrating phone = ROFLMAOS
PSS. I'm uploading pictures from other people. Thank you!

Thanks for the memories

The day had finally come - our graduation. What does that mean? Tears, photos, hugs, signing on t-shirts and books, tears, laughter, smiles, tears, screaming, clapping, singing, awards, antics, jokes, pranks and have I said tears yet? Since the main event was the formal, I'll just briefly talk about the highlights of our final formal assembly:
  • Confetti poppers are already awesome, but what made it even more awesome is that the boys bought like a KING-SIZE popper, which spread confetti across 1/3 of the hall =D WOOT! According to Kelly, this was the first time it has happened at our school=D! Is our grade awesome or are we just awesome?
  • Performances include: string accompaniments for Pachelbel's Cannon; Fianna and the violinist tutor for Merry People; the CVHS band for The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls; Kim and Bach for Scar by Missy Higgins; Kelly and Danny C. for La by Old Man River. Antony and Kim both started crying during their performances, which made some of the girls cry in our grade, which made other people cry, etc. CHAIN REACTION PEOPLE!
  • Mr. Donohue and Captains' (Mei and Patrick) speeches triggered the tears and laughter. Mei got teary during her captain's speech AWWW! "You make me want to be a better person" - Mr. Donohue AWWW!
  • It was funny how all the other teachers received boxes of gifts while Mr. S (deputy principal) received an envelope ROFLS! Don't worry, we gave him tickets =) It's not empty. We also gave Mr. M (principal) a photo ouf our grade LOL! I'm not sure how to spell their names, and I'm not bothered to learn them now since I'm an ex-student.
  • Congratulations to Aaron Tran and Linda Lu, for captains, and John Ly and Rosalyn Hoang, for vice captains, of 2O1O!
  • Me? I received a Perfect Attendance for 2OO9 award and a Faculty Award for General Maths =) WOOT WOOT for me!
Congratulations 2O1O captains and vice captains =D. SRC - except for Shirley =). String accompaniments. Graduation 1. Graduation 2. Graduation 3.
Graduation 4. Our last free period xO! Groupie 1. Groupie 2. Groupie 3.

FASTFOWARD

In Mrs. Kowalin's car - Jason, me, Sarina and Kelly.

Ladies and gentlemen, lets PAR-TAY! The ladies were just stunningly fabulous, the gentlemen were just absolutely impeccable and the teachers looked just lovely =D! Hummers and limousines were parading around near the venue, giving an essence of prosperity and opulence to the Dockside scene. Although DocksideI was slightly smaller than our year 1O formal, at Parravilla, overall it wasn't so bad... it had a nice view =)! Oh, Mrs. Diep even brought her daughter, Natalie, and husband to the formal YAY! However, the teachers weren't the only guests at our formal. The ex-captains 'O8, Kevin and Natalie, and the future captains '1O, Aaron and Linda, were invited as well =D! Hope you had fun guys!

Natalie, Kevin, Linda and Aaron - captains of CVHS.

Before I continue about the formal, let us give a round of applause for the Seftoners (Vicky, Eric, Shirley, Adnrew and Kenneth) for courageously crashing our formal >=D According to their side of the story, a female blonde teacher had somehow influenced their course of action *cough*.

Female blonde teacher: Why are you down here, the party's up there!
With confused/blank looks the seftoners followed the teacher up to the venue, passing the security guards.
Female blonde teacher: Why are you dressing to casually? *to Shirley*
Vicky: She's going for the casual look.
Female blonde teacher: Oh, the casual chick look.
Smiles all around.

They would have stayed longer during the second time round, except ...

Same female blod teacher: I think you should go back to your own formal now *to Kenneth*
Hence, the Seftoners were forced to leave.

Seftoners crashing our formal xD!

May I say how Minhky was more paranoid than the Seftoners? ROFLS! Anyways, firstly, Kelly accidentally left her camera in Mrs. Kowalin's car and hence, she had to come and give it to us. Thank you for the ride and camera Mrs. Kowalin! Yes, she drove Sarina, Kelly, Christina, Jason Q. and I to the formal. Christina wasn't going to our formal, but she wanted to go anyways =D hehehe! I seriously thought we wouldn't be able to enter because of our tardiness xO!

The food wasn't bad either, but I liked the desserts the best! For my entree, I had risotto, then steak for my main and this vanilla pudding for my dessert. The steak was kind of chewy... too chewy for my liking =/ and hence, I couldn't finish it. Actually, it's not that I didn't want to finish it, it's just I went to play tips with some girls before I finished my main course ... HAHAHA! Yes, I didn't believe it either. Fianna, Cindy H., Cindy V., Annie, Linda, Julie C. and I played tips in our heels around the venue HAHAHA! Although, after an hour of playing, Mrs. Wright told us off, after a half and hour rest, they went and play another game of tips again LOL! As for I, I hit the dance floor >=D. I do apologise to those who I accidentally stepped on while dancing ^___^" and I guess karma hit me back, because eventually I also got stepped on LOL!

The girls.
More girls.
The boys.
The stripping boys LOL!

There were no slow music for the lovers; there was only fast up-beat music. That's okay, I'm pretty sure we all liked it that way anyways LOL! There were conga lines, lifting people up and moving them around, stripping from the boys and even some pre-choreographed dance routines! Shain made a speech to the grade, while David C. and Philip did a beatbox duet =D. Eventually, the dancing was temporarily stopped because it was awards time WOOT! Here are the awards and winners:
  • Shocker of ther year: Jacky Hanh
  • Most Mature of the year: Minh Troung
  • Clumsiest of the year: Annie Praseuth
  • Prankster of the year: Thomas Tran
  • Blondest person of the year: Tiffany Tran
  • Drama Queen of the year: David Hu
  • Intelligent person of the year: Jenny Ky
  • Addict of the year: Peter Do 1.

Recipients for the awards.

I would like to point out the fact that Jenny won the same award for both year 10 and year 12 formal! Good for you Jenny! *sigh* Unfortunately, near the end of the night, Kelly's camera ran low on batteries xO! Again, silly of Kelly to bring only half of the charger (the wire, but not the plug - if you know what I mean) LOL! Hence, I went borrowing other people's camera for the remainder of the night ^_^'. Thank you Lisa L.!

Kelly and Philip (date).
Kim and Jonathan (date).
Jenny, you PIMP! xD
Victorian Period FTW =D!



Anna and Bach (date).
Katty and Peter (date).
Kelly and Robert (date).

There are also 4 things I want to point out about the formal: we started AND ended the night with Black Eye Peas's 'Good Night;' Loyee was smart enough to bring thongs along; Athena wore pants with pockets underneath her dress; everyone received an engraved CVHS O9 champagne glass, as a sorvenir, which is to be used at our reunion in 10 years time. ROFLMAOS! To view the formal photos we took that night, go to this site please =).

Teachers and students:

The clock strike 12. With aching feet, sweating bodies and tired eyes we dragged ourselves to Kelly's father, where him, and his car, waited for us with open arms. Thank you Mr. Huynh! After changing into my pjs, brushing my teeth and having me feet soaked in warm water for half an hour, I finally hit the hays. Goodnight, good luckies, and farewell everyone.

Our reunion class =).
Our table.
