much too tired too blog about it now but basically celebrated end of yearlies properly in joint with mum's late birthday dinner.
we came home, i had like 2 chicken wraps LOL & soon dad came home so we all went out to darling harbour, stunning amazing place that never fails to impress me even if i've lived in sydney all my life haha. i'm pretty sure everyone's used to it by now but i'm always like on a high & so happy once i see the water & the lights, fresh air & the food. yeah, so 'i am angus' restaurant, fully steak & prawns yummm, then sarah got obsessed with a chocolate cafe on the way [i don't think it can compare to max brenners] but yeah, it's called the 'chocolate room' & it had like 15 different types of hot chocolate & cake. so many koreans there, yeah it wasn't that much of a cute cafe like pishon but it was nice & simple & dude, it's chocolate. what more could you ask for ?
anyway, it was a fantastic day with me & sarah yelling, chewing gum & fighting in the car ride back. i love the city & i love my family. then came home, half watched enchanted while formspringing. i feel so free after yearlies.
i hope everyone has a great day tomorrow at the outing, i'm half-lazy & half-tired to go but sarah, i promise you a bday present, much love & happy birthday for next week ! x3
will elaborate on ALL of this tomorrow, just writing this so i won't forget.

mum- it's a family obligation...
sarah- no mum it's not, i don't have to eat it
mum- but your great great great grandparents, all your ancestors...they sacrificed their lives to eat watermelon
sarah- MUM !
mum- okay okay

-five minutes later mum shouts from upstairs-

mum- sarah you can escape your hw but you can't escape family obligation !

LOL LOL

now sarah's singing song "oh no you can't make me eat it ohh nooo" & mum's singing "watermelon, watermelon"

ahahaha & mum's still asking how much i like the watermelon in front of sarah to make her eat

ohh now they're screaming at each other

strange moments, must go study now byebye

watemelons are delishhhh (:

i know it's in the middle of exam period but it's only yr9 & i'm going to try & everything, i'm just not going to go overboard.

on the weekends, i did nonstop maths. i'm trying really hard after my huge deproving in halfyearlies so i hope it really pays off

so yesterday [monday] was my mum's birthday & even though she won't read this;

happy birthday mum ! i love you very much (: hope you had an amazing birthday, you mean the world to me ...i really meant what i said in the card & i couldn't be more lucky to have you as my mum.


x3

so as mentioned in one of my previous posts, my sister & i made a surprise myergift card present, bought flowers & sneaked them in. I FOUND MY POLAROID CAMERA lfajhpjapedjhfaphyj;dfhj;
I WAS SO HAPPY. so we snapped a luvo of ourselves, decorated it with a message & put it in the flowers for mum to find tomorrow. it was the tiny break from studying & it felt good that yearlies hadn't taken away my whole life, i still spent a few hours with my family at least. dad got her books on love and the four seasons of marriage & cd which none of us were expecting LOL

so after the big morning, i decided to be sneaky & get to the library early to get a little more maths in but it turns out like 15 people had the same idea (: so me, jo, sarah, maddie, celia, & brittany revised loudly/hyperventilated/stressed like crazy. but when i did it, i was surprisingly calm & i thought i did really well which is extremely douchy & conceited of me but wait for it, after i found out i got at least 6 marks off. but at least i could do all the questions ! haha whatever, i've learnt that it's not the end of the world [even though i literally can't stop talking about it].

ohh & a few friends were stressed about it after- so a message to you; don't worry about it, it's nothing to cry over, trust me. i said this already but i really bet you did better than you think you did & if you didn't, remember do your best & God will do the rest !

i mean, there'll be times when all of us need to be told this & i'm definitely not blaming her because i think i'd feel like that too but really, yr9, hsc, anything really, this whole life is for only one purpose. & that purpose isn't for ourselves & definitely not to beat everyone in maths. ruse people live for success, live for ambition, live to prove people wrong, way too much & they do what they do for sometimes the wrong reasons. i do that often.

LET'S GET OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT; & i know we'll all learn that the hard way.

i still have to learn it. but we'll get through it *encouraging nod*

after maths exam, & after school for that matter, i followed sarah to her swimming lesson where mum & i just talked & she said the card we wrote her made her smile all day. it made me realise how small messages once in a while can keep a person going. even those anonymous "you are beautiful" notes can get to someone. i know when i was frantically mathing away, i wrote like million notes for myself like "you can do it" & "don't let anything get you down". LOL like those diet things only i was eating heaps & trying to get fit in like,, maths. gross, i never knew i could get this nerdy..

finished 4 exams [maths, commerce, french speaking & geo] so far & feeling ok about all of them. i really can't wait until this week is over. FREEDOM (:

HAVE FUN EVERYONE;

ahh, cramming time ~

this blog post is dedicated to ruse; LOL because you guys make my day nearly everyday. but it's not like a lovesong dedication thing, just here to talk about it because it is kind of interesting.
before i got in, i was seriously prepared to go to baulko/tara & to me, ruse was distant like rumours of people suiciding because of the stress and loserish nerds and cows, cows, cows. BUT IT'S NOT. trust me, you'd already know if you went to ruse & if you don't, i'm not sure why you're here but yeah keep reading (:
ruse is full of the brightest [not the brains way], coolest [maybe not so much,,], dorkiest & cheesiest asians ever. like seriously, imagine a place without the drugs, alcohol and all the stuff you kind of wished our generation was smart enough to avoid & imagine a high school without all those cliche groups.
oh goshh i sound like a corny teacher DD: but yeah baulko & ruse are kind of similar, only ruse has less people = more closeness, more inside jokes etc. like there are jokes the whole school is in on but other schools would find retarded- hehe just look up prefect news on youtube & you'd get it.
ever since yr7, my love for ruse has grown like a billion times more, the people are incredible & even though they've got their own personalities [musicobsessed, sportfreak, blonde; ahaha], it all kind of works. it's so funny at exam times when everyone's going psycho. you literally see people walk into poles, reading their notes, getting too distracted.
so yeah another aspect of ruse is the reaction you get from other schools. like when we verse nonasian/nonselective schools in netball; it's always the same half racist, half joking stuff like pulling out our calculators & scaring them, i don't know if it's right to mention bogans here.

all netballers get this but., this was what a real life convo was like during a netball game//

goal keeper- hey what are, chinese or japanese ?
me- i'm korean
goal keeper- ohh,, so like in your school, what other religons are there ?
me- religions,, ? are you serious ?? do you mean backgrounds ?

-silence-

goal keeper- ohh, um yeah

but with less extreme cases, like usually i don't want to say what school i go to because people always have the same reaction. if i haven't already informed them or let them known i was a loser, it's usually confirmed when i say i'm a rusian. LOL

it's like when you introduce yourself
other person- "hi i'm blahblah, i go to blahblah h.s."
me- "hi i'm grace, i like chocolate !" (:
other person- "& what school ?"
me- mumble mumble -walk away-
other person- ,,what the,,

or if you tell them they either have a mixture of total "she's a freak/snob" or total silence. how awkward & you always have to tell them what they believe about the school isn't true. it's hard without sounding like you're lying, even if you're telling the truth, you know ? it's hard to sound like you're not showing off when you're genuinely not. because seriously, even if we put focus on our studies too much to the point it's unhealthy, we still are a pretty awesome bunch of people; no jerks or anything . so yeah., the point of this was that i love my school, it's really is a place where everyone belongs, despite what other schools think. & we don't spend our lives studying. omgosh, rumours.

anyways, gotta go study x.

LOL I'M JOKING, CALM YOUR FARMMMM xP

,, it just gets worse & worse.

got a couple; i'll just post a few. LOL don't think i'm a loser, these are just some i just enjoyed/were brilliant (:






 LOL LOL





hahah i should stop although i got like 35812858104 more to go; where would we be without movies ?
some of them aren't even my faves; i just remember them more for some reason.

(:

i actually got a few hours of maths done today; & finished a whole excercise book over the holidays so i feel accomplished (: LOL even though it probably didn't really amount to much
going to start pastpapers tomorrow; got this planned strategically ; not really but you know what i mean
oks recount, today was uneventful apart from the fact i watched DESPICABLE ME !
yes it was awesome & cute but after so many brilliant animated movies [i.e. finding nemo, toy story, UP!], it kind of just blends but it was great still.
so yeah spent majority of the day bludging/studying, same thing to me now. & at about 5, we went out to castle towers where mum, sarah & i ate at taste cafe. my second time at that place. i don't know, all cafes are tasty [hehe see what i did there ? ;D] & just nice. i ordered a steak sandwich which turned out to be this massive burger & mum ordered club sandwiches [mm] which turned out to be like a double decker sandwich which was expected because we eat them at beauty&thebeast at strathfield. anyways, sarah had spaghetti as usual. mum & i shared each other's meals as usual but sarah was still sick.
ohh & we bought mum's present without her knowing. we were totally sneaky, we told her we were going to potts avenue to get a present [even though we had everything planned out], then we walked like we were on an important mission & fully ran because from taste cafe, we thought she could see us heading into myers [which she couldn't]. yeah so we ran like retards, ducking & sneaking until we reached myers. ahah it felt good to plan a surprise & organize it ourselves. we bought a $100 giftcard [not the one joined with coles & kmart & stuff because we didn't want her to blow it all on groceries]. because mum never ever buys anything for herself & she usually has to pretend to like the homemade presents we give her [LOL LIKE THE BEST MUM TROPHY WE MADE HER LAST YEAR] that was freaking epic (:
sarah & i were literally breathless by the time we reached the cafe & we had to lie that we couldn't find her anything we wanted. so we're going to keep on convincing her that we haven't got around to buying a present yet x3 yeah then we ate the food i mentioned before. funner than i imagined because sarah came with me. she kept telling me to slow down because she was sick & coughing but i just kept looking around like i was a spy & mum knew about her surprise present LOL.
we got mango passion boost & WATCHED THE MOVIE finally, cute, brilliant animation . hehe & i love the dorky 3D glasses, even though it gave me a headache.
it got stuck in the middle & the kids at the back, even though they were young, used sarcasm incredibly, like "ohh *clap* that was a FANTASTIC movie". ahaha sarah's such a loser, even though she happens to be entering highschool next year, she kept trying to reach out to touch the 3D . hehe.
anyways we got free movie tickets because it got stuck; i thought that was awesome because i would've been totally fine without them but i suppose some people get a bit mad/impatient if they don't get some sort of apology. ohh i saw patty [yr8] as well, hello ! then we came home where we told dad our adventure [not really but yeah] of our free movie tickets. ofc, we didn't spill about the myer giftcard, won't. did you know my mum's birthday marks the beginning of my yearlies ? how inconvenient, we won't be able to celebrate freely, i feel so bad but i'll make it up to her after they're done. then i just did about 30min of maths. ahh must start studying other subjects soon . bye, going to spend time with ma famille

! laterss [when something interesting may possibly happen]


i know there've been many dedications to her but she's impossibly cute



how have your holidays been ? are they good ? bad ? why ? there are many questions that must be answered. like, who am i talking to for example. whatever, i guess i'm just unhealthily bored.
so yeah my holidays have been revolving around maths, food and family. just going with the food more though (: ohh & YOUTUBE, what would i do without youuu ? [LOL get it ? ;D]
i am a severe loser. anyways, seeing how as i summed up my day in bullet points & i cbb doing a detailed recount of my lovely day. ohh & i'm still raving on about grey's anatomy. wait that was random. sorry,, so yeah. i remember there was a topic i wanted to talk about but i realise half the stuff that comes out of my mouth either doesn't make sense or is based on what i want to be ? [i.e. i want to be more focused, i want to be smarter, prettier, kinder blahblahblah] so you know what i really want ? for my brain to shut up & focus on what's more important. which is a lot of things by the way, much to much to sum up in a blog post. i truly believe i am the type of person that annoy the majority of people [including me; imagine that huh ?] & so typing all my thoughts on a blog wouldn't be very wise seeing as whoever's reading this might want to bash me.
seriously, i've got nothing to talk about. i'm rambling,

i literally can't post a bunch of luvoes or photography & write a bunch of quotes or deep epiphanies that is supposed to mean so much because there are so few words & so much space. i just can't. i can't blog how normal people blog. i have ocd, & probably a wide range of other uncoolness-related disorders.

so to stay on track. i went to castle towers to eat thai food mmmmm & to eastwood & bought pastries yummm. it's been a while since i've had seafood though [LOL if you don't count takeaway sushi in the parking lot] so i've still got cravings. i've been trying to focus on maths more though but i don't know how i'll go, i desperately want to be in R. i mean, U i won't mind at all but i think i'll just be the taddest bit disappointed. ok goodnights [you know, since i said hellos, i must end with the s as well]

i will leave you with this picture to stare out. work out what it is, i'll give you money (:



# wokeup
# slammed alarm clock
# went back to sleep
# woke up again & immdiately started doing maths
# gave up after about an hour
# became hungry & watched grey's anatomy while eating breakfast
# lets mum & sister watch grey's anatomy while i go down to computer
# went up, did a little more maths
# went to castle towers to eat thai food at the piazza with family
# mum & i buy dress at SES while waiting for food
# come back, pig out on pad thai, pad see iw, peanut beef, softshell crab
# go to eastwood & buys all the useless stuff at korean grocery
# goes to pishon & buys yummy bread with sister & dad (:
# gets involved in random, useless & hilarious car ride conversations
# comes home
# does hour of maths
# is back on computer doing nothing, procrastinating

i hope that was enough x;

may i just say i love grey's anatomy ? i suppose if i wasn't hooked & realised half the diseases involved aren't even real, it would seem stupid & corny. & that's what it seems to my dad who's a doctor but i find it,, in one word, compelling. so real, funny in their own extreme personalities but there's a lot of passion in their acting, everything's a metaphor in surgery, it dramaticises everything, raw, truthful, amazing speeches.
ahh becoming one of my favourites because i don't actually watch that tv honestly.




Christian but sometimes i don't know who i am. absolute dork, LOL, korean, no taste in music whatsoever, i need people to survive, i can't be alone for 5 minutes without getting depressed. innocent i suppose [all the strings attached with being asian], unemotional apparently, i avoid drama & sometimes won't say what i mean. i open up easily but it's hard to really know me. my family & friends happen to be my world (: don't know anything about video games or foblike styles. i love colour, sugar, cool evenings, laughter, adorable shops, everything that's free & easy, love going out. personally though, easily stressed, germaphobic, perfectionist even though you wouldn't think so. i'm not always fair, normal selfish materialistic girl who doesn't know anything yet. i want to be a doctor one day, no idea how i'm going to get there. DONE. I'M SURE I MISSED A LOT but that's enough.

PICK A PICTURE< ANY PICTURE (:





today was great , it's supposed to be 10:30 but daylight savings so now i'm going into midnight technically
so yeah in the morning, i did some maths [like not a lot at all] & then went out with my family, i think the highlight of my day were definitely the car rides. my family are probably the only people who can make me angry or cry but they're the ones who matter the most. i just don't get that personal with friends, even though ily guys too (:
so we were planning on going to that thai resturant in the piazza but somewhere along the way, they were like "ohh maybe yum cha would be better".
& then mum & dad got into this massive arguement about whether there was too much traffic near castle towers. my dad was aruging that all the cars around us, all the traffic, were all going to towers & there wasn't going to be any parking spaces left. mum was like 'are you serious...'. & me & sarah were facepalming. so dad got pissed & drove to towers just to prove to us. ofc, not all the cars were going to towers so we all started laughing for no reason, & dad was like 'humphh fine', but yeah we had to go to castle towers piazza. but we had to go to church afterwards because of some meeting so we got in & sat down & i love thai so i wanted to eat but then we decided there wouldn't be enough time so we had to leave.
so we got takeaway sushi instead, & tried to eat it in the parking lot, in the car. it got messy. LOL like mum dropped a sushi between a car seat so dad had to spend 15min getting it out. it was hilarious, he got it out piece by piece, glaring at my mum who was looking all innocently/apologetically at him, eating her sushi contently. ahahah, eventually, we went to church, on the way with many conversations involving ruse, & how our grade would scare sarah when she comes next year & i swear sarah has a brilliant sense of humour. i'm so proud of her sometimes. ohh but when we got to church, we found out the meeting was cancelled so we sacrificed thai food & had the whole sushi drama for no reason. we found at from this family at church who was making lunch for the church tomorrow. their daughter [grace] is like 5 or something & so cute.
this is basically how it went
grace: i'm a pretty princess. -to me- you're a pretty princess too. -to sarah- & you're a ninja !
me- aww,,
sarah [shocked look of indignance]- & i'm the ninja ?? :OO

then back in the car she was kidding ofc but she kept going 'why am i the ninja huh ?! she only calls people she doesn't like a ninja'. i think it scarred her deeply.

dad was annoyed because he'd brought up the idea of the meeting apparently but they postponed it to a day he had work. so, naturally, to cheer him up, his darling daughters made a song for him

me: if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm so sad
me: if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm depressed
me: if you're happy & you know, you really ought to show it, if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm depressed

we always do random songs in the car that never really make any sense, yeah.. then to cheer dad up [really], i suggested going to the library so getting out of the house wasn't a total waste. LOL that ended in another minor arguement between mum & dad whether the library was open or not. they were fully about to make a bet with $500 stakes but then mum realised dad gives her all the money anyway. ahh anyways, it was open [so technically mum won] but there was no parking space so we had to go home anyway.
but i didn't think it was a waste. it was a hilarious family drive with a billion you-had-to-be-there moments. i love them so much.
when we got home, sarah sang 'just the way you are' again by computer kareoke then i tutored her a few questions on maths [just easy algebra problem solving] but she just started dr lee & is getting the hang of it,
i went early to doctorlee because sarah was there & got about 1.5 hrs of maths in before catherine came. then we did a little more with catherine failing [xP] at the few yearly questions so we both got frustrated & went out to eat potato scallops. thank you, will pay you back.
then 3 hour lesson. i think we went psycho. like dr lee was giving examples on conditional probability & was asking us all the reasons why harry [this yr10 guy in our class] didn't bring his umbrella. i don't know why it was funny but drlee went all random, like all the reaosns why he didn't bring his umbrella & we were just bursting out laughing. i didn't know why he was rambling, ahh lame but funny. especially rena, she couldn't stop laughing. ahh anyways, the last hour was spent half paying attention to circle geo & half dedicated to drawing frogs. MINE WAS THE BEST (:
but rena drew an ugly wife frog for him & ruined it :(

ohh what else then we had to wait 30 min for simon to finish so me & catherine had an arm wrestle. i still can't beat her with 2 hands [even when she's using left] but i can beat her with body weight (: whatever, i'll be buffer than miss africa one day [according to catherine, she's really buff].
then got home, ate dinner [mum & dad packed it as take away from the soondooboojighe place in epping] & watched rugrats to paris, I RECKON IT IS A FREAKING GENIUS MOVIE. so for kids but also really entertaining & funny, like adults wouldn't get bored. i love it, so cute.

well got to sleep now, just a recount of an ordinary epic day. almost midnight, due to daylight savings, good night <3

rather tired, didn't get much work done, feeling useless

but cleaned the house [some of it because i was forced xP], went out to baulko mall to eat at little rock cafe & woolworths (:
also watched 'he's just not that into you', 'rugrats', 'shanghai kiss'. oh gosh no wonder i feel so useless :L
anyways, that's definitely the end of all my bludging, will get in 500 hours of work

much too tired too blog about it now but basically celebrated end of yearlies properly in joint with mum's late birthday dinner.
we came home, i had like 2 chicken wraps LOL & soon dad came home so we all went out to darling harbour, stunning amazing place that never fails to impress me even if i've lived in sydney all my life haha. i'm pretty sure everyone's used to it by now but i'm always like on a high & so happy once i see the water & the lights, fresh air & the food. yeah, so 'i am angus' restaurant, fully steak & prawns yummm, then sarah got obsessed with a chocolate cafe on the way [i don't think it can compare to max brenners] but yeah, it's called the 'chocolate room' & it had like 15 different types of hot chocolate & cake. so many koreans there, yeah it wasn't that much of a cute cafe like pishon but it was nice & simple & dude, it's chocolate. what more could you ask for ?
anyway, it was a fantastic day with me & sarah yelling, chewing gum & fighting in the car ride back. i love the city & i love my family. then came home, half watched enchanted while formspringing. i feel so free after yearlies.
i hope everyone has a great day tomorrow at the outing, i'm half-lazy & half-tired to go but sarah, i promise you a bday present, much love & happy birthday for next week ! x3

or if you tell them they either have a mixture of total "she's a freak/snob" or total silence. how awkward & you always have to tell them what they believe about the school isn't true. it's hard without sounding like you're lying, even if you're telling the truth, you know ? it's hard to sound like you're not showing off when you're genuinely not. because seriously, even if we put focus on our studies too much to the point it's unhealthy, we still are a pretty awesome bunch of people; no jerks or anything . so yeah., the point of this was that i love my school, it's really is a place where everyone belongs, despite what other schools think. & we don't spend our lives studying. omgosh, rumours.

anyways, gotta go study x.

LOL I'M JOKING, CALM YOUR FARMMMM xP

,, it just gets worse & worse.

got a couple; i'll just post a few. LOL don't think i'm a loser, these are just some i just enjoyed/were brilliant (:






 LOL LOL





hahah i should stop although i got like 35812858104 more to go; where would we be without movies ?
some of them aren't even my faves; i just remember them more for some reason.

(:

i actually got a few hours of maths done today; & finished a whole excercise book over the holidays so i feel accomplished (: LOL even though it probably didn't really amount to much
going to start pastpapers tomorrow; got this planned strategically ; not really but you know what i mean
oks recount, today was uneventful apart from the fact i watched DESPICABLE ME !
yes it was awesome & cute but after so many brilliant animated movies [i.e. finding nemo, toy story, UP!], it kind of just blends but it was great still.
so yeah spent majority of the day bludging/studying, same thing to me now. & at about 5, we went out to castle towers where mum, sarah & i ate at taste cafe. my second time at that place. i don't know, all cafes are tasty [hehe see what i did there ? ;D] & just nice. i ordered a steak sandwich which turned out to be this massive burger & mum ordered club sandwiches [mm] which turned out to be like a double decker sandwich which was expected because we eat them at beauty&thebeast at strathfield. anyways, sarah had spaghetti as usual. mum & i shared each other's meals as usual but sarah was still sick.
ohh & we bought mum's present without her knowing. we were totally sneaky, we told her we were going to potts avenue to get a present [even though we had everything planned out], then we walked like we were on an important mission & fully ran because from taste cafe, we thought she could see us heading into myers [which she couldn't]. yeah so we ran like retards, ducking & sneaking until we reached myers. ahah it felt good to plan a surprise & organize it ourselves. we bought a $100 giftcard [not the one joined with coles & kmart & stuff because we didn't want her to blow it all on groceries]. because mum never ever buys anything for herself & she usually has to pretend to like the homemade presents we give her [LOL LIKE THE BEST MUM TROPHY WE MADE HER LAST YEAR] that was freaking epic (:
sarah & i were literally breathless by the time we reached the cafe & we had to lie that we couldn't find her anything we wanted. so we're going to keep on convincing her that we haven't got around to buying a present yet x3 yeah then we ate the food i mentioned before. funner than i imagined because sarah came with me. she kept telling me to slow down because she was sick & coughing but i just kept looking around like i was a spy & mum knew about her surprise present LOL.
we got mango passion boost & WATCHED THE MOVIE finally, cute, brilliant animation . hehe & i love the dorky 3D glasses, even though it gave me a headache.
it got stuck in the middle & the kids at the back, even though they were young, used sarcasm incredibly, like "ohh *clap* that was a FANTASTIC movie". ahaha sarah's such a loser, even though she happens to be entering highschool next year, she kept trying to reach out to touch the 3D . hehe.
anyways we got free movie tickets because it got stuck; i thought that was awesome because i would've been totally fine without them but i suppose some people get a bit mad/impatient if they don't get some sort of apology. ohh i saw patty [yr8] as well, hello ! then we came home where we told dad our adventure [not really but yeah] of our free movie tickets. ofc, we didn't spill about the myer giftcard, won't. did you know my mum's birthday marks the beginning of my yearlies ? how inconvenient, we won't be able to celebrate freely, i feel so bad but i'll make it up to her after they're done. then i just did about 30min of maths. ahh must start studying other subjects soon . bye, going to spend time with ma famille

! laterss [when something interesting may possibly happen]


i know there've been many dedications to her but she's impossibly cute



how have your holidays been ? are they good ? bad ? why ? there are many questions that must be answered. like, who am i talking to for example. whatever, i guess i'm just unhealthily bored.
so yeah my holidays have been revolving around maths, food and family. just going with the food more though (: ohh & YOUTUBE, what would i do without youuu ? [LOL get it ? ;D]
i am a severe loser. anyways, seeing how as i summed up my day in bullet points & i cbb doing a detailed recount of my lovely day. ohh & i'm still raving on about grey's anatomy. wait that was random. sorry,, so yeah. i remember there was a topic i wanted to talk about but i realise half the stuff that comes out of my mouth either doesn't make sense or is based on what i want to be ? [i.e. i want to be more focused, i want to be smarter, prettier, kinder blahblahblah] so you know what i really want ? for my brain to shut up & focus on what's more important. which is a lot of things by the way, much to much to sum up in a blog post. i truly believe i am the type of person that annoy the majority of people [including me; imagine that huh ?] & so typing all my thoughts on a blog wouldn't be very wise seeing as whoever's reading this might want to bash me.
seriously, i've got nothing to talk about. i'm rambling,

i literally can't post a bunch of luvoes or photography & write a bunch of quotes or deep epiphanies that is supposed to mean so much because there are so few words & so much space. i just can't. i can't blog how normal people blog. i have ocd, & probably a wide range of other uncoolness-related disorders.

so to stay on track. i went to castle towers to eat thai food mmmmm & to eastwood & bought pastries yummm. it's been a while since i've had seafood though [LOL if you don't count takeaway sushi in the parking lot] so i've still got cravings. i've been trying to focus on maths more though but i don't know how i'll go, i desperately want to be in R. i mean, U i won't mind at all but i think i'll just be the taddest bit disappointed. ok goodnights [you know, since i said hellos, i must end with the s as well]

i will leave you with this picture to stare out. work out what it is, i'll give you money (:



# wokeup
# slammed alarm clock
# went back to sleep
# woke up again & immdiately started doing maths
# gave up after about an hour
# became hungry & watched grey's anatomy while eating breakfast
# lets mum & sister watch grey's anatomy while i go down to computer
# went up, did a little more maths
# went to castle towers to eat thai food at the piazza with family
# mum & i buy dress at SES while waiting for food
# come back, pig out on pad thai, pad see iw, peanut beef, softshell crab
# go to eastwood & buys all the useless stuff at korean grocery
# goes to pishon & buys yummy bread with sister & dad (:
# gets involved in random, useless & hilarious car ride conversations
# comes home
# does hour of maths
# is back on computer doing nothing, procrastinating

i hope that was enough x;

may i just say i love grey's anatomy ? i suppose if i wasn't hooked & realised half the diseases involved aren't even real, it would seem stupid & corny. & that's what it seems to my dad who's a doctor but i find it,, in one word, compelling. so real, funny in their own extreme personalities but there's a lot of passion in their acting, everything's a metaphor in surgery, it dramaticises everything, raw, truthful, amazing speeches.
ahh becoming one of my favourites because i don't actually watch that tv honestly.




Christian but sometimes i don't know who i am. absolute dork, LOL, korean, no taste in music whatsoever, i need people to survive, i can't be alone for 5 minutes without getting depressed. innocent i suppose [all the strings attached with being asian], unemotional apparently, i avoid drama & sometimes won't say what i mean. i open up easily but it's hard to really know me. my family & friends happen to be my world (: don't know anything about video games or foblike styles. i love colour, sugar, cool evenings, laughter, adorable shops, everything that's free & easy, love going out. personally though, easily stressed, germaphobic, perfectionist even though you wouldn't think so. i'm not always fair, normal selfish materialistic girl who doesn't know anything yet. i want to be a doctor one day, no idea how i'm going to get there. DONE. I'M SURE I MISSED A LOT but that's enough.

PICK A PICTURE< ANY PICTURE (:





today was great , it's supposed to be 10:30 but daylight savings so now i'm going into midnight technically
so yeah in the morning, i did some maths [like not a lot at all] & then went out with my family, i think the highlight of my day were definitely the car rides. my family are probably the only people who can make me angry or cry but they're the ones who matter the most. i just don't get that personal with friends, even though ily guys too (:
so we were planning on going to that thai resturant in the piazza but somewhere along the way, they were like "ohh maybe yum cha would be better".
& then mum & dad got into this massive arguement about whether there was too much traffic near castle towers. my dad was aruging that all the cars around us, all the traffic, were all going to towers & there wasn't going to be any parking spaces left. mum was like 'are you serious...'. & me & sarah were facepalming. so dad got pissed & drove to towers just to prove to us. ofc, not all the cars were going to towers so we all started laughing for no reason, & dad was like 'humphh fine', but yeah we had to go to castle towers piazza. but we had to go to church afterwards because of some meeting so we got in & sat down & i love thai so i wanted to eat but then we decided there wouldn't be enough time so we had to leave.
so we got takeaway sushi instead, & tried to eat it in the parking lot, in the car. it got messy. LOL like mum dropped a sushi between a car seat so dad had to spend 15min getting it out. it was hilarious, he got it out piece by piece, glaring at my mum who was looking all innocently/apologetically at him, eating her sushi contently. ahahah, eventually, we went to church, on the way with many conversations involving ruse, & how our grade would scare sarah when she comes next year & i swear sarah has a brilliant sense of humour. i'm so proud of her sometimes. ohh but when we got to church, we found out the meeting was cancelled so we sacrificed thai food & had the whole sushi drama for no reason. we found at from this family at church who was making lunch for the church tomorrow. their daughter [grace] is like 5 or something & so cute.
this is basically how it went
grace: i'm a pretty princess. -to me- you're a pretty princess too. -to sarah- & you're a ninja !
me- aww,,
sarah [shocked look of indignance]- & i'm the ninja ?? :OO

then back in the car she was kidding ofc but she kept going 'why am i the ninja huh ?! she only calls people she doesn't like a ninja'. i think it scarred her deeply.

dad was annoyed because he'd brought up the idea of the meeting apparently but they postponed it to a day he had work. so, naturally, to cheer him up, his darling daughters made a song for him

me: if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm so sad
me: if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm depressed
me: if you're happy & you know, you really ought to show it, if you're happy & you know it clap your hands
sarah: i'm depressed

we always do random songs in the car that never really make any sense, yeah.. then to cheer dad up [really], i suggested going to the library so getting out of the house wasn't a total waste. LOL that ended in another minor arguement between mum & dad whether the library was open or not. they were fully about to make a bet with $500 stakes but then mum realised dad gives her all the money anyway. ahh anyways, it was open [so technically mum won] but there was no parking space so we had to go home anyway.
but i didn't think it was a waste. it was a hilarious family drive with a billion you-had-to-be-there moments. i love them so much.
when we got home, sarah sang 'just the way you are' again by computer kareoke then i tutored her a few questions on maths [just easy algebra problem solving] but she just started dr lee & is getting the hang of it,
i went early to doctorlee because sarah was there & got about 1.5 hrs of maths in before catherine came. then we did a little more with catherine failing [xP] at the few yearly questions so we both got frustrated & went out to eat potato scallops. thank you, will pay you back.
then 3 hour lesson. i think we went psycho. like dr lee was giving examples on conditional probability & was asking us all the reasons why harry [this yr10 guy in our class] didn't bring his umbrella. i don't know why it was funny but drlee went all random, like all the reaosns why he didn't bring his umbrella & we were just bursting out laughing. i didn't know why he was rambling, ahh lame but funny. especially rena, she couldn't stop laughing. ahh anyways, the last hour was spent half paying attention to circle geo & half dedicated to drawing frogs. MINE WAS THE BEST (:
but rena drew an ugly wife frog for him & ruined it :(

ohh what else then we had to wait 30 min for simon to finish so me & catherine had an arm wrestle. i still can't beat her with 2 hands [even when she's using left] but i can beat her with body weight (: whatever, i'll be buffer than miss africa one day [according to catherine, she's really buff].
then got home, ate dinner [mum & dad packed it as take away from the soondooboojighe place in epping] & watched rugrats to paris, I RECKON IT IS A FREAKING GENIUS MOVIE. so for kids but also really entertaining & funny, like adults wouldn't get bored. i love it, so cute.

well got to sleep now, just a recount of an ordinary epic day. almost midnight, due to daylight savings, good night <3

rather tired, didn't get much work done, feeling useless

but cleaned the house [some of it because i was forced xP], went out to baulko mall to eat at little rock cafe & woolworths (:
also watched 'he's just not that into you', 'rugrats', 'shanghai kiss'. oh gosh no wonder i feel so useless :L
anyways, that's definitely the end of all my bludging, will get in 500 hours of work
