Worship is more than a song
As we enter a year where we'll screw up our priorities & forget what's important.

Yesterday & Today
Okay so Sunday was super fun because, after church, the year 11s & most of the year 11s came to Eastwood [oh also Jay visited for a few seconds which was like woahh, he hasn't changed a bit] & we went to Prauss. It was so embarrassing because it opened at 2 so we were waiting like desperate hobos for 10 minutes because Samuel insisted he would stay loyal to it, far out. It was Esther, Tiff, Yadha, Bang & Joo Hwan & I'm pretty sure we did nothing but eat. Later, we met up with the year 12s at the playground & played heaps & heaps on the see saw & the giant swing, so much immaturity & so much fun for the ingoing & outgoing year 12s. I think it'll be the last for at least a year :( That was my very vague recount & today was full day of Matrix & eating dinner with family at Won San Eastwood- that delicious cold meat & warm bread buns. Sarah was super depressed because the cafe was so closed so she couldn't get the waffles she'd been so desperately craving. Anyways, got to go. Can everyone please blog ? I'm unbelievably bored.

a one-liner
Good bye year 11 but I'm not dreading year 12 at all. Super excited, in fact.

I have no idea what to do anymore. A mixture of guilt, soft spots which equate to vulnerability, slight annoyance at that person for ruining any progress I'd made & a lot of confusion. These low self-esteem days where I look at myself & wonder why anyone would want to know me, feeling sorry for my parents & sister for having no choice on the matter & myself because I enjoy wallowing in self-pity & am stuck being me. I think it would be only fair for everyone to trade lives regularly & yes, that includes Obama. Ignoring the fact that it wouldn't work out at all & the world would be destroyed, it's a beautiful idea theoretically & we would actually all be a lot more empathetic rather than talking about it all the time.

Now, to walk in my shoes for today in a disjointed, bimbo recount as per usual?

Today was a fantastic day. Double chem was a distillation prac that we'd done before so most of us just sat around while Michelle the mosquito did it for us [with a little help from Joseph & Jimmy those noobs] & I spent a good five minutes listening to Dobsies & Sumedh argue over what the aggregate for 99.95 is- what the ridiculousness. Byun & I were so annoying for the whole double & kept whipping everyone with the tube thing & putting it around people's necks. It was fun. WE HAD FLOOD FOR MATHS. YES CHILDREN, FLOOD. Haha but Woodhouse had left us a test so that was kind of saddening but, yeah, it was alright. Bio speech was super flustering & embarrassing. We got owned in netball but that was to be expected & not the fault of our lovely coach, Ding the horse, at all (: We had many long & meaningful discussions.. LOL jk, about maths. I don't see the appeal of it anymore tbh, I can't see myself doing well in it or enjoying it but I do it because it's just the Ruse mindset that if you do it, it means you're good or something along those lines. I really can't be bothered to really slow down & think about it.

Year 12 will be leaving soon & I know I'll miss them soon but it doesn't seem like the biggest deal at the moment. Maybe after seeing so many grades leave, we've gotten used to the cycle & I didn't have any life-changing friends in that grade although all of them are super funny & cool & it will be sad when they're gone. With that being said..

Never have I been more proud/ashamed to be Korean & proud/ashamed to be a Rusian.

"Certainly. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you get an idea before anyone else, you take a patent on it: it is yours. So with me: I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."

Chocolates in angels
My sister made us chocolates [technically just melted & moulded] while Mum & I went to info night. I guess some parts were helpful in terms of rank & scaling but nothing really affects our subject selections at this point. Today was seriously the funniest day ever, maybe it was because of the rain or the general highness after exams are over but everything was just so good & so unproductive.

Rae & Suren's Farewell @ CityExtra

Today was a good day, except for the awards assembly- standing for a full 2 hours is never a pleasant experience & I felt dead/paralysed afterwards. But the long lunch compensated for it quite a bit & basically, we just sunbaked whilst eating the delicious cake that Byun baked for Suren/Rae/fun- a bit sweet but full peanut butter & chocolate & diabetes but still very talented, that girl. I'm jealous. I swear we just kind of rolled around doing nothing & luvoed a lot with Suren & Byun, calling Ted & Eddy girls. I honestly think that was it until I got trapped in soccer nets thanks to Nachan & Kerry haha. We then died in maths when we got 2u back & then came back to life only to die again when we got phys back. That is all I'm saying on the matter.

So, as a farewell to Suren & Rae because they're dogs & going to China [where I'm fairly sure they will be eaten as they are dogs, or is that only Korea?].. whatever, regardless, all the girls [Michelle b, Rae, Suren, Do & Angela] took the bus, the guys + a couple girls [Jimmy, Jono, Albert, Eddy & Ted] went by car &.. Sarah & Terence walked trololol to Parramatta but the bus got there first so we just window shopped & was in awe of this super clean mirror that was so clean that all us retards tried to walk into it. We were so in awe that we started stroking it & woah, it was just an amazing mirror :L No one bought anything I think. We met up with the rest & went to City Extra where we took an eternity to order. Sarah & Terence eventually made it despite walking- I don't know why they'd willingly do that but anyways & then it was strange because Angela left & we just thought she was at the bathroom but she disappeared. Then Eddy disappeared. & I concluded that it was like a horror movie where people disappear one by one & it was actually pretty scary for a bit until the two returned with gorgeous bamboo..vases? for Rae & Suren. It was really sweet.

& THEN WE ATE FINALLY. Most of us had steak burgers except like Jono/Jimmy/Eddy who were pov so they split a breakfast meal & had kids menus & stuff. It was pretty funny. Later, took a couple of group photos [MICHELLE, I WANT YOUR POLAROID] & left.

Okay, I got a bit lazy with the recounting at the end but you get the gist of it, it was a lovely day.


---

Dearest Rae & Suren,

if you can't get me a Chinese taxi driver, a Chinese dragon [yes, a real one.. a costume will not suffice] & an endless supply of food. Consider any remnants we had of a friendship over.

Love, your boss ((:

BUT REALLY, stay safe, happy & beautiful. HAVE FUN UGLIES PRETTIES; much love.

ALSO, a series I've been addicted to recently.

It's an.. appropriation [gosh, 3u] of Pride & Prejudice. It's pretty funny at times.



Post exams & Russian numbers

So, due to popular demand [heh, hi Catherine], here is a blog post about pretty much anything that pops into my mind. But just for organization sakes, I shall dotpoint them. & to retain a degree of uniqueness [or so I feel special], I shall use Russian numbers. Far out, have to google them now. Okay here we go.

Adeen- a bit outdated, but Daffodil Day was lovely. Really happy & proud to have been a part of such brightness. -insert corny cheese & cheesy corn-

Dva- PRELIMS. Well, they were just exams, what can I say ? I feel they were the most chillax set of exams I've gone through despite how important the maths one is this time but maybe I was just over it & completely accepting of how screwed  I was. That being said, none were too bad; I hated how arrogant some friends got over them at times but that's expected I guess. The worst for me was probably physics/2u maths & best.. chem/3u maths ? Haha, ridiculous. Oh wait 3u eng was terrible but it was a complete joke to most of the grade.

Tri- POST-PRELIMS. This might be a bit long & pointless. So after that last 3u maths, we had a little Go Green meeting where we basically just sat around & brainstormed projects, eventually only coming up with one idea & then being like "ceebs, it's after exams, let's go do something". So Liz, Shobhana & I went to Yogurberry which I didn't eat, went with Liz to buy her mum a birthday day cake & my phone case. We really had nothing to do so parted there & I went to Strathfield, freaking 4 hours early to Matrix. Haha, it was okay though. I sat in a cafe, ate Tiramisu & read something I didn't understand before Angela, Tang, Jono, Jimmy & Vincent came &.. we played King of Opera. I don't know, I think  was pretty out of it after all the stress, I was just tired & wanted to sleep but Mum didn't let me come home because that would mean she'd have to drive out to Stra again but still, so tired. & Matrix was so.. I felt like I was going to faint but it ended & just the fact that exams were over was so.. :'). Came home & pretty much grumbled about how tired & dead I was before rummaging the fridge & watching Miss Congeniality with my sister hahaha.

Chyetirye- THE WEEKEND. Went to Eastwood on Saturday morning like a good little Korean & got my hair cut, now I actually look identical to my sister. Mum, Sarah & I ate at Jonga Jip then rushed to a house auction which we lost yet again but it's okay, we got to see David Choy [the Mary Poppins of real estate agents, as my sister likes to call him]. Dw, in joke. The highlight of the day was Dad taking us all out for Chinese at Liu Rose, Concord. Peking duck & really nice moments [not all because of the food]. They gave us fortune cookies at the end which we, as Koreans aren't used to, so Dad just ate the cookie & read out the wrong side of the fortune [the numbers instead of the actual fortune] & Mum proceeded to stuff the cookie in her mouth before we had to stop her. Hehe my parents are such noobs. It was pretty funny also because the fortunes genuinely suited each of us in current situations [oh except Sarah's because it told her she was creative & sharp-minded or something which totally isn't true]. Anyways, got home, just lazed about for ages & watched Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging. Fine, our taste in movies is ridiculous but it was really because we needed something extremely dumb to watch. Today, church; there was a new guy straight from Korea & we were all trying to introduce ourselves in Korean & failed miserably. In fact, it was so bad that is got video taped. Also, watched A Walk to Remember which wasn't as soppy & bad as I expected & had a nice nap today.

Pyat- I really want to read lots of books but now have no time for them. If there's one thing I regret not doing when I had the time, it's seriously just reading everything when I had the chance. Oh well.. after hsc :( Was telling someone this but it's that point in our schooling life where we say that sadly now.

Sorry, I was going to write a lot more but too tired now. I hope this made up for the drought of nothingness.

BYE NOW.

Exams exams exams
Hi, so I know this is a terrible time to post but someone broke down in front of me today because of exams & I had no idea what to do or say to make them feel better except that it doesn't count for anything but even that doesn't feel like a good enough excuse for me or them or anybody. Also, MY SISTER'S BACK FROM RAP CAMP. I know technically, she was only gone for a night but the house was so quiet & I couldn't mock everything or make retarded jokes with anyone for 24 hours that means. IT WAS TERRIBLE; SO HAPPY SHE'S BACK. All in all, exams are pretty mediocre. I don't feel satisfied once I've finished which is probably an indication I failed. Oh well, as I pathetically murmured today, "it doesn't count".
