joyeux noel bitchessssssss

well, merry christmas my beautiful chickadees I hope you all had a great day full of joy and loveliness and laughter and all that great stuff that makes life worth living

in case you didn't have that much of a day, don't worry, because christmas is just a consumer holiday that comes along every year to devastate your bank account and cause endless hours of stress whilst buying presents

but yeah i had a good day

(sidenote i have no idea where i suddenly picked up using the word 'whilst' instead of 'while' but whenever i talk or blog or whatever i always seem to prefer using 'whilst' which makes me sound like i'm trying too hard to speak intellectually but oh my gOD I CAN NOT HELP IT WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME)

stayed up to 3am last night watching the lizzie bennet diaries on youtube oh man if you have no idea what i'm talking about you should go start watching it like, right now, it's great. seriously, especially if you love pride and prejudice, DO IT.

ok i got a little sidetracked there but as i was saying

got woken up at 9 to my brother knocking on my door so that we could "UNWRAP PRESENTS" and then proceeded to wait for him to take a goddamn shower before we all went downstairs to discover what wonders there were to behold once we got past the festive wrapping paper 

my family is pretty small and the only person from my family who i can really get a present from would be my brother, since my dad (and mum) just give us money (cha ching) however i make up for this by exchanging presents with sueyeon and, this year, amy (brother's longtime girlfriend) has also been added into the mix.

my brother got me black le specs sunglasses aw yuss i hope i don't lose them or break them though; sueyeon got me a gorgeous light creamy brown leather handbag from san michelle bags and the sweeeetest card; amy got me a notebook from typo and guylian chocolates; and dad gave me $100 that's basically going to have to last me till next christmas lol OH AND MUM GOT ME VANS IN AMURRICAH FUCK YES I HAVE SHOES

i got my parents a 3pc bathroom set and a "magican can opener" which was EXCESSIVELY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THOSE AUTOMATIC CAN OPENERS THEY ADVERTISE ON TV OH MY GOD I WAS *SCAMMED* the shame!!! no srsly i was so disappointed when we opened it and realised it was just a normal, overpriced can opener i just :'(

my bad for not even reading the labelling hahaha i just read "magican" and was like IT'S MAGIC OH MY GOD I MUST BUY IT

ah well i have learnt from my mistakes

i bought my brother a 4pack nivea for men face-care-products thingy cuz he needs to fix his face duh ha good one vicky bURN

and i bought amy a plastic smoothie cup thingy with the plastic straw idk what it's called but it was from typo and i wanted one so i got it for her instead haha

and i bought sueyeon those cool flippy clocks at typo and a disposable 'frame' camera that seemed endearing but im ngl i have no idea how the hell you're even supposed to use it but she likes sentimental things like that so eh

typo was having a sale, obviously.

on the same day as all my christmas shopping, i also bought swimwear yay and on that particular wednesday afternoon, i spent $138, not including bus fare.

oh joy to the festive season and all of its... festivities...

my brother got my dad a ralph lauren shirt, and got amy a new stereo for her car as well as new speakers and an ed sheeran cd. amy got my brother a ridiculously expensive shirt from somewhere i dont know as well as a calvin harris cd and something else i cant remember oops and she got my dad lindor chocolates because cmon what else could she have gotten my *dad*.

and then everyone went out for a couple hours, and for the rest of the day i watched the teen choice awards and pissed myself laughing at all the horrible embarrassing script writing and uncomfortable celebrities 

you just have to appreciate the little things in life ja feel

after that i made red velvet cupcakes and used the oven in my house FOR THE FIRST TIME

WE BUILT THIS HOUSE 4 YEARS AGO

THE OVEN HAS NEVER BEEN USED

NEVER

EVER

EVER

and i stole that poor oven's virginity like i was a varsity jock at a college frat party and it was the shy freshman, wide-eyed and innocent to the horny motherfuckers that surrounded it.

the cupcakes were a disaster by the way, i can't ice to save my life, and in case you missed my tweet: the icing bag i used was a lousy flaccid plastic bag that, after i had finished icing, looked incredibly (and disturbingly) like a used condom

which carries on my 'virginity' metaphor quite nicely don't you think

look at those ugly motherfuckers i have to deal with 12 of them

this is why i don't bake

then i caught the end of pride and prejudice on tv and once again it made me cry like a little bitch (seriously is that movie on every christmas day, every year?!) and i went upstairs onto my laptop to watch more lizzie bennett diaries and then i fell asleep for 2 hours, napping horizontally across my bed on a curled up position since i'm too lazy to clear the shit off my bed obviously

oh when i mean "napping horizontally" i mean, i was lying on the bed like... horizontally... instead of lengthways. obviously, everyone naps horizontally by lying down instead of vertically aka standing up i didnt mean that ok just go away

and then my brother woke me up to take us to the restaurant where we had the traditional christmas dinner of peking duck

wait, what do you mean people don't celebrate christmas traditionally with peking duck? yes you do! it's a pagan customary dish!!

hold up, no, what? turkey? who eats TURKEY on a holiday occasion ha wow dont be silly!!! you are so silly, you!!!!!!!!!!

wow this turned out to be a rather long post

hope y'all had swell days

i have to go do the dishes now oh mon dieu L'HORREUR!!!! (oh boy i watched an education the other day and i realised i do that pretentious thing that jenny does where she randomly speaks in french except i don't have a nice enough french accent to do it pretentiously and instead i just sound like a fucking idiot goodday)

family

the concept of family is this interesting and odd puzzle that is really quite hard to define. i think it's ambiguity really stems from the fact that no two families are the same, and sometimes (as bobby singer off supernatural famously said) "family don't end with blood".

For example, in my family, we're a pretty unapologetic bunch. We never really deliver heartfelt 'i'm sorry's or even talk about our past arguments where heated words were exchanged. Never. It's obviously rather unhealthy but I guess it works for us. I can have a huge falling out with my dad, and not talk to him for three days and completely avoid his existence, but things will inevitably be forgiven and forgotten after those couple of days and we'll return to normal. Is that a normal thing among families? I wouldn't know, since my family is the only family I have right now.

I guess that's not really true though, depending on your definition of the word 'family'. Your close friends can be your family, too. However, you can still be a part of a family even if the group of people involved are complete strangers to you. You don't have to like them, you don't have to trust them, but they may still be your relatives and thus, your family.

I just finished reading 'Room' by Emma Donoghue (I had read half of it earlier this term and had to return it since it was overdue, but got it out again) and in the novel, the theme of family (especially between mother and child) was pretty predominant, along with the themes of childhood and other existentialist shit like "what's really real" and whether our idea of 'normal' is only normal because it's what we've lived with and been exposed to for our whole lives etc etc but yeah, whatever, read the book and you'll get what I mean since I don't really want to explain the whole plotline tbh

omg

omg guys. guys i did it. I DID IT.

I GOT MY BROTHER ADDICTED TO HUNGER GAMES.

he is currently reading it while eating dinner (he got home late) and he's with Amy, his gf. and i saw him reading it and i was like, stoked because he was halfway through the book. And I was like, "oh, do you like it?" and he said "yeah it's actually really good" and I was like :D and asked him what part he was at and he's like "shh just let me read the book".

He made Amy read it to him in the car while he was driving. LMFAO

this post is really for my own benefit hahahaha

last night, i swear someone spiked my drink or something cuz i went soo so high when i was playing monopoly with my fambam. i literally started laughing so hard (for no reason) that i was crying and near-pissing myself and it lasted like, 2 minutes. and the i lied on the floor with my head under the xmas tree staring at the flashing lights. yeah.

pretty sure someone slipped me some weed.

also MY FUCKING BROTHER STOLE JERUSALEM FROM ME AND TRADED IT WITH MY MUM AND I DIDNT REALISE TILL THE END OF THE GAME AND THEN WE (JOKINGLY) YELLED AT EACH OTHER FOR A FULL 5 MINUTES UNTIL MY DAD YELLED AT US TO STOP. 

how were everyones boxing day sales? :)

santa

so, i got my grandma to wake me up at 10:30am, I got up, preparing to go open xmas presents, went downstairs, saw my mum watching tv on the couch, went to her and fell asleep on her.

finally got up properly at 1pm hahahaha. waited for my dad to come home and for my brother to get outta his room, and we opened our presents.

I got the whiteboard and badge from Sueyeon, and guess what i got from my brother....

I FUCKING HAD A REALLY STRONG FEELING HE WAS GONNA GIVE ME HUNGER GAMES LOLOLOLOL. It's cuz I keep telling him to read it so he probably  thinks I'm obsessed over it even though I'm not but whatever I'm quite happy he gave me hunger games hahahaha. Thing is, I got Meilin the Hunger games for half the price he got it, and I *JUST* gave her the book yesterday.

and I got money from my parents lol.

anyway, my mum really liked the scent diffusion thingy and I think she thinks it was really expensive but really, it was 12 dorra hahahahha. My dad really liked the crepe thingy too which was surprising. my grandma has no idea how to work the design cube I made her lol pretty sure she's gonna break it soon.



I see everyone getting like, shitttons of things for christmas and I'm like >>;; people are getting phones and presents that are like, hundreds of dollars and I feel shitty and unloved haha.

But then again, for some people, christmas is a big deal, whereas I kinda get these 'present' things whenever I want/need them, not just at christmas time. Like, if I legit want to get those black chucks, I can just go out shopping with my mum (albeit, at sale time) and she'd probably just get them for me. So I shouldn't really feel jealous.

Sorry, I'm just reflecting.


ALTHOUGH DAMMIT NO ONE IS EVER GONNA GET ME A FUCKING FROG SHOWER RADIO!!!!!!!






need to get a jobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Merry Christmas :)

tbh christmas isnt that big of a deal for my family lol.

previously today (or really, yesterday aka christmas eve) i went out at 8pm to get presents for my parents. yeah, i know i left it last minute, but i didn't really give it much thought. anyway, i was waiting for my bro to take me and i pretty much waited for 2 and something hours while he kept playing some fantasy football soccer game on his xbox with his friend. we finally went and i had planned to go to briscoes to buy one of those Sunbeam Eggo things AND THEY WERE FUCKING CLOSED AND I WAS SO SO SO UPSET :((((

and westfield was closed too. WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY?!?!

shouldnt they be open for last minute shoppers like me?!

anyway, we went to the warehouse which was thankfully still open, and i got for my parents a vanilla scent incense thingy idk what its called and instead of an Eggo, I got a Crepe maker hahahahhaa. 

Crepe maker? More like Crap maker.

i dont expect much from it rofl. it was $22 SCORE!

i got my brother a really pathetic present from pak n save. it was two bottles of powerade energy drink (not the sports drink) cuz he loves dat shit and i got him a lynx scrubby shower thing cuz there seems to be some kinda tradition between us getting each other shower/hygeine related presents YES THERE ARE SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES BEHIND THE PRESENTS.

before all that though, i went over to meilins house to give her back her shirt, give her her birthday present (which was on dec 4th.... what? i just got it from the mail!!) and get my makeup bag back from her. then i went to drop off sueyeons christmas card which looked like this:

im a fucking freak i know dont judge me i only have one picture of it okay

cathee left for china on friday so before she left i had to give her her bday present and her card and i dropped them off at her house.

i got her this journal...thing/notepad/sticknote god i dont even remember what it was. it was cute though. and i got her a Ravenclaw badge. and a pen which I kinda regret buying cuz it was inproportionally expensive and not even cute >B/

OKAY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! i wonder what presents i get tmrw hmmmm (the only present im really getting is from my brother and everyone else will probably only get me money lol)

aujourd'hui

So, it is 2am and my brother, mum, grandma and I have just gone to bed after playing Monopoly (which still isn't finished and will be continued on tomorrow morning). I WAS FUCKING WINNING AWW YEESS. It's funny though cuz at the start I was doing the worst, and I had barely any money all the time, and I kinda only just survived. But then I got the orange set by trading with my mum, and I got the dark blue set, and suddenly, it was a rags to riches story :) which is strange because monopoly is supposed to teach the player lessons of "the poor get poorer and the rich get richer". Before we ended for the night, my grandma insisted on finishing her turn, and landed on my dark blue Montreal (we have the 'world' version) which had a hotel, and she had to pay me $20 million. :DDDDDD

It was fucking hilarious omg. My brother landed on me, paid $11 million, and I'd go next and land on him and pay him $11 million. And I got free parking once which was like $12 million and I fucking did a loud victory circuit celebration thing around the lounge... at 1am.

I just realised no one cares but that monopoly game was friggin awesome.


anyway.





today, woke up at 10am, snoozed in bed until 10:45, took shower etc etc left for bus at 12:20 and met sueyeon at city at 12:50 (i was supposed to meet her at half past...)

it's nice to have a best friend like sueyeon. I think it might be a good thing that we don't go to the same school because honestly, it feels more special to see each other like, a couple times during the holidays so that we really make the most of it. And everytime we meet up it's like we never really parted, and I seem to have some of the funnest and funniest times with her, I can't explain it really. It's weird.


anyway, we went shopping for xmas presents for each other and eventually ended up in this shop called Iko Iko on K road and I dont really go on k road that often (except to visit your mum at work /wink/) so when we got there I was so lost and was like SUEEYEEONN WHEERE ARE WEEEE :(((((

so, we went on the city link bus to get there right and there were these two REALLY HOT FIREFIGHTER GUYS at the front of the bus and I think they might've been strippers even though they were wearing the legit firemen uniforms but OMG THEY WERE SO HOT akdf;alksdfsfd i tried to like, get a picture of them but 1. sueyeon kept restraining me from using my hands/taking my phone away and yelling/laughing "YOU'RE SO EMBARRASSSIIIINNGGGG", 2. my phone is dumb and has a loud beepy noise as well as a flash you cant turn off when you take the photo and 3. the firemen guys didn't turn around again for the whole duration of the trip :(

anyway, iko iko was SUCH AN ADORABLE SHOP. I got cathee's birthday present from there and also Sueyeons xmas present. Can't say what cathee's present is cuz she reads this blog, but Sueyeon's present (it's lame but she really really wanted it) was this mug that had a design on it like a scrabble letter piece with the number of points and stuff. like this one...

they have the friggin BEST badges in that shop but they were so expensive though! $3.40 for a small one i think and $6/7 for a big one. there were quite a few harry potter, big bang theory and doctor who ones. the harry potter ones were awesome. there were these"MAKE LOVE NOT HORCRUXES" and "save a broom, ride a weasley!" and "Dobby is a free elf" and house badges as well. there was a steve jobs one that said "iSad" with his face, and that one <-- with my fucking attractive face in it which i thought was pretty hilarious. Sueyeon got me a  "MAKE AWKWARD SEXUAL ADVANCES NOT WAR" badge that i fucking adore and will stick on my bag next year for school. 

Spent ages at whitcoulls before going to that shop as well buying Cathee's present and it ended up being this lame thing and i was like ugh vicky you suck but i like the stuff i bought her at iko iko.

Sueyeon needed to buy my present and she was planning on getting me a  frog shower radio thing (CUZ I REALLY REALLY WANT ONE) but it was different to the one we wanted and $30 :( but we went looking for it everywhere and ended up in the warehouse where we got distracted and started playing bop it (I FRIGGIN LOVE BOP IT).

BUT THEN WE WENT INTO THIS AISLE WHERE IT WAS LIKE ARTS AND CRAFTS AND THERE WERE FRIGGIN WHITEBOARDS FOR $15 AND I WAS LIKE *OMG* GET ME A FUCKING WHITEBOARD FOR MY ROOM AND SO SHE GOT ME A WHITEBOARD AND I AM VERY VERY STOKED WITH MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!!! it's pretty big (that's what she said) about 60cm x 40cm and i will put it in the centre of my poster wall so that i can draw shit and people can write shit WOOHOO!!!

omg that whiteboard was a bitch to take home on the bus hahahahha.

i'm not allowed to open the gift till xmas :(



oh yeah I'm desperately looking for a job right now, so if you guys know of any jobs in city/newmarket/st lukes or in mt roskill TELL ME CUZ I NEED SOME MONEY!!! I went around today at random shops just asking the shop attendants whether there were any job positions open and they were all like nup and i was like :(

if i get really even more desperado i think i'll just have to go work at the burger king near my house. although i dont even think they're hiring :( :( :(

my dad wont let me work at the restaurant. i asked him and he was like "uhhh why dont u go work at another restaurant" and i was like DAD I CAN SEE WHEN I'M NOT WANTED >:/








fuck i just realised im probably gonna have my period during the beach party thing next week and for new years UGHHHHHHHHHHH LIFE SUCKS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SWIM A;FJA;DKLFAJSDKLFJS'ODFSKLDFJS;AKDFJASKDF





my internets pretty much capped.









fuck.

Just walked into the living room where mum was curled up on the couch watching tv. I look at the screen and it's the chinese tele version of winnie the pooh, so thinking she was just watching it because there was nothing else on, I switch the channel, when she suddenly yells:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I WAS WATCHING THAT! I WANT TO KNOW WHY RABBIT'S CROPS ARENT GROWING!!!!"

2011

I think I can safely say that 2011 has been the best year I've had so far.

I guess there have been other good years - Year 6 and 5 hold lots of great memories for me. I can't really remember anything except for odd random memories from before Year 4. There were aspects in Year 7 that were kind of horrible for me: I didn't like MRIS at all and thought my time was being wasted at school everyday since I never actually learnt anything and the extracurriculars were shit, etc. The friends were alright, even though I'm not close to any of my old friends there anymore. Year 9 form class was pretty lame cuz we didn't even know each other. I got close with Jade and Maria and Maggie and stuff in Year 9 though, which was pretty good. I loved social studies and maths class in Year 9 - not the subjects, but the class environment, yknw?

Well, first reason why this year rocked: I've had a great class who I've gotten so close to, and I'm basically friends with everyone and a lot of them are just such awesome people who I think I'll continue being friends with even if we're in different classes next year. Sure, we won't be as close, but hopefully we'll still say hi in the corridors or something. It's been one of my favourite classes I've had. Year 9 was pretty shit because our class just didn't know each other and I can barely remember who was actually in my class. I guess I really don't want that to happen next year in Year 11 since our intake will be split up, but I really really wish we didn't have to change classes and destroy the friendships we made this year. This is basically the main reason I don't want this year to end. I've made so many new friends in a lot of my classes - not just my form class. But yeah, my form class is close and I genuinely think my form class is the best one in our year level. We've got the best people (no bitches or overly-socially retarded people) and we're really tight, unlike a couple of other intakes, so I think I was really lucky to get into Intake 1.

Second, my teachers this year have been the best. (In fact, I should be doing my xmas cards to them atm but I got distracted with checking my blogspot, then seeing winnie's post, then deciding to write a blog post cuz I am a emotional teenage motherfucker with a lot of feelings). My xmas cards are pretty much going to be the same for all of my teachers, even though everything I say for each of them would be completely genuine. I really have learnt so much and I've got pretty good relationships with my teachers this year, albeit a couple of them are still pretty intimidating (cough Mr Howe). I mean, I got really good marks in my end of year exams (all E's!!!) and everythings been going shitgood. I've enjoyed all my subjects and I wouldn't mind at all having the same bunch of teachers next year (yes, even maybe the certain science teacher if it meant I got to have the same teachers in all my other subjects). I really hope I get Mdme Morton again next year cuz French was so fun this year, and I learnt so so so much in English - more than I ever have in other years. Our Art class was so much chill than all the other Art classes and everyone just cracks lame jokes and we all talk about vampire diaries across the room while Mr Ball just does our artwork for us hahaha.

Then, I've got my 'asian' group at school, who (from my perspective) haven't had too much drama this year. I mean, for me, at least. Year 9 was kinda shit cuz me and Joanna were fighting and estranged from each other for the whole year and I had way too many caps lock arguments with a couple of people over facebook haahha. One aspect that sucked about this year was that so many people from our group changed schools (Reb, Rach, Ding....), and next year even more people are leaving (Aimee, possibly Meilin), but the people that left only left in Term 4 so it didn't impact on the year much. And plus I've been seeing them so much these couple of weeks cuz of all the birthday parties people have been having. I know that for some people they've been having a shit time this year regarding friendship drama, and I also know some people who hated last year cuz of friends excluding them/bullying them, and so this year has been waaay better for them.

I'm feeling really melancholic about this year ending. I'm really effing looking forward to holidays and just not going to school anymore, but I just wish that once holidays finish and Term 1 2012 starts nothing changes from this year so everything could just be as good as 2011. A lot of other things have contributed on 2011 being a good year (Kah*nui, Vampire diaries lol, etc) but I have a feeling that everything next year may change. It sucks cuz I'm not allowed to talk about it with anyone so I'm just in my little corner alone suffering the waiting process by myself.....

....yep I'm pregnant.

Here's hoping for a good  great 2012.

my whole family is mental

guess what time my 75year old grandma went to sleep last night?

or rather, this AFTERNOON.

1PM. PM!!! 1 PM IN THE AFTERNOON. all because she was watching a chinese tv series!! so, that is 13 HOURS OF WATCHING A TV SERIES. WITHOUT SLEEP. and she woke up at 4pm and now shes watching it again! 3 hours sleep!!! INSANE.

my mum gets really addicted to tv series' too. so does my other grandma and my aunties. NO WONDER MY BROTHER AND I TURNED OUT THIS WAY. ITS IN OUR GENES.

only person in our family that doesnt get hooked onto tv programs is my dad, but he's addicted to playing online bridge ahahhhah

i went to sleep at 4.30am last night hahahaha. my mum came in to my room at 1am and i had quickly shut my computer and was just like, chillin and moisterizing, and she knew something was suspicious so she took my computer and i was like :(

and after she left i was like LOL JKS I STILL HAVE MY MAC MWAHAHAHA. but then my mac wasnt connected to my new internet and the internet password is like AAKDFKJSDHF18239ADKF so i went to my brothers room and was like, "do you have the internet password?" and he's like "yeah lol why do u need it?" and im like "mum took my computer." and he's liek "oh then how-" and im like "....mac" and he's like "LOL OWNED" and im like "booom yes"

lol csv.

i ended up doing my french diary thing at 3am in the morning just cuz i felt like it ahahha. omg it takes me soo long to write it D:  AND WE SOUND SO LAME LOOLLOOL

"a la soiree pyjama nous avons regarde les films de disney..." OTL

OMG SERIOUSLY MUM AND DAD

I CAN HEAR YOU IN THE BATHROOM. OHMYGOD I DONT KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY RIGHT NOW FML GOD WHY DO I HAVE SUCH IRRITATING PARENTS!?!?!?!?!

my dad: did u see her powerpoint?
my mum: yeah it was like out of a movie
my dad: wow we have such a talented smart daughter. she's amazing
my mum: i know, how does she come up with these things. she was showing video clips and information and everything.
my dad: yeah she's like a businesswomen with getting loans from her brother and getting her friend to pay 20 dollars! ahhh. did u tell her she could go?
my mum: yeah. did u know the concerts in march next year? and she's gonna be doing housework till march as part of the deal? /laughs i asked qi'an and he said that lots of teenage girls like this singer.

FUUUUUUU PARENTS WHY ARE U SO HAPPY NOW OMG DO U ENJOY MY TEARS. WTF AND MY DAD WAS LISTENING TO ME DURING THE PRESENTATION WHAT THE FUCK C'MON GUYS.

i dont even
know
what i'm supposed to feel right now
wow
i'm not sure if they're the best parents ever
or the worst.

ugh i hope i'm adopted and aren't carrying their parenting genes.




wtf srsly guise give me a break!!!! I HAVE AN INTERNAL TOMORROW STOP MESSING WITH ME AND BEING ANGRY AND SERIOUS ONE MOMENT AND JOKING AROUND AND COMPLIMENTING ME THE NEXT!!!

they're bipolar, i swear.

[update] my dad just told me he wants a copy of my powerpoint. i bet he's gonna take it to work adn be like "hey, everybody, come and see waht my brilliant daughter did when she tried to convince me to let her go to a concert. oh, here's the slide where she started crying. oh, and here's where i interrupted her and started yelling, yknw, just for kicks, and she rationally tried to calm me down but ended up crying more. ahhh good times. isn't my daughter talented? "  ARGH.

t-swizzle you homewrecker.

so um, taylor swift causing drama in my house.

it all started with me, maria, cathee, and jo buying tickets to the concert. maria bought it so that we had to pay her back. and i had asked my mum about going a couple days before, and completely forgot about telling my dad cuz he wasnt home at that moment, and i didn't think we'd buy the tickets very soon, so i completely forgot about telling him.

anyway, the tickets went on sale on friday morning, and by the time friday night came, the first show had been sold out and the second show had no more allocated seats yet, so we had to buy a general admission ticket or nothing, cuz they were selling super duper fast.

and so, cuz my mum was already sweet with it, i told maria to buy it.

and here's where the shit blew up.

i told my dad later that night after he came home and he flipped his top at me cuz i was just like "um... can u write me a check for 150 to pay my friend back for a concert ticket?" and he was like WOAH SAY WUT BITCH?! well not really, but you get the idea. anyway, i got into a huge argument with him and he pretty much forbade me to go, and i was fucking pissed cuz i had asked mum and i really meant to ask him before buying but didnt have time, but he didn't listen to me at all even though i tried to convince him and tried to explain. He wouldnt give me any money to pay me back, so i decided i would just pay for myself, using the Chinese money my nans gave me for new years, which was quite a lot.

but then i worked out that i would have to cut a huge chunk out of my savings (aka, red pockets) in order to pay for the ticket, so i was like, um.... there has to be another way. especially with the fees for converting the money, i would pretty much be robbed.

so,on a whim, i texted my brother "can i borrow 70 or so dollars from you?" and he just replied "sure" and i was liek WOAH "r u being srs?" and he's like "yeah when do u need it?" and i was like omg my brother is rich wtf.

basically, if i borrowed money off my brother, i could pay back later when i had more money or when currency exchange rates went down or something. this also meant that, including the fact that maria offered to pay for $20 of my ticket as my birthday present (THANKS DING!)  my parents only had to pay $60 for me, which is only a little more than what my one of my old piano lessons cost.

i thought this was pretty reasonable, so, inspired by 'couple's retreat' i made a powerpoint presentation today after school, instead of going to the bank to exchange money.

in it, i explained why i wanted to go to taylor swift so bad; how it wasnt like, a metallica concert/drugfilled rave or anything; why her concert would be amazing; and i included a youtube clip (her sparks fly video) that included footage from her concerts to show how fucking amazing it looked. I also stated how I was going to pay them back (by doing chores - seriously, they'd appreciate that more than money.) and stuff like that.

Anyway, i practiced going thru the presentation a couple of times and i was pretty set and confidant, and felt really fucking mature and hoped that they would see it as mature adults as well.

Yeah, that didn't happen.

When my dad got home at around 10pm, I called my mum up telling her that i needed to show her something, and tried to get my dad too, who was already in bed on his laptop. He was too fucking lazy though and too fucking useless to actually give 5 minutes of his time to just LISTEN. and so i got really hurt and was really pissed and when i'm pissed, i cry, and so i tried to convince him to come but he wouldn't, so i got MORE pissed, and cried a shitton, and  ended up doing the presentation to my mum in a soft trying-not-to-cry-more voice and the presentaton didnt flow cuz i kept having to stop and compose myself, and UGH. not mature.

well, i guess she pitied me or saw how much it meant to me or whatever, cuz she complied and gave me permission and said she'd give me the money and shit, and i was bawling by that part so i didn't even feel that happy about it cuz i was exploding from tears trying to hold them in. IDK i thnk i'm pms'ing or something. or just really passionate about taylor swift.

anyway, my mum told me to show my dad the presentation, so i just put it on my laptop which is a much different effect than putting it on a big screen monitor/tv whatever. he got pissed in the middle of it and wasnt listening to my points anyway cuz he wasn't looking at the presentation and was just playing bridge on his computer. UGH.

seriously, why do parents expect you to respect them when they don't show the same respect to you? i mean, i was being fucking mature bout it kay? he started yelling and just repeating the same stupid points on why i shudnt go, even though i had already rebutted them in my presentation, and i was just like, calm, and a little teary, but calm and told him just to be open minded and listen to the rest of my points but he just goes back to his bridge and fucking doesnt listen to anything i say.

anyway, it doesnt really matter cuz my mum has agreed to it now and my dad knows about it, so i'm just let it be. my mum doesn't want me wasting money exchanging my yuan so she said that i shud just give her my yuan  and she'll give me money to pay back my brother. or something, idrk.




if the taylor swift show ends up sucking, i will be so so so utterly pissed. i'll start crying or some shit. i'm serious. all this would've been for nothing.

lmfao my dad and grandma were watching some kinda movie and laughing their asses off, and i go over and see what theyre watching, and it's a jackie chan film but with chinese dubbing. and then all of the fucking sudden, lucus till comes out of nowhere and i'm like WOAH I KNOW HIM. anyway, i wikied it and it's 'spy next door' and it got really bad reviews and has billy ray cyrus in it and george lopez lmfao. apparently 'it elicits more eyerolls than laughs'.

obviously not, according to MY family though.


lol i was just watching supernatural and it was about creepy fairies and it was a nice mixture of scary shit and hilarity. i've only started watching this season cuz its after vampire diaries/nikita. too bad its already finished season 6 and season 7 is coming out, so it would take me an eternity to catch up on it. :( why are CW shows all so good? hhaha.

next week i have:
- maths statistics internal
- speeches
- french speaking test
- end of unit french test
- science test (human body)

FMLFMLFMLFMLFMLFML!!!

a post with gifs because i can't even describe the emotions i'm feeling.

BEST DAY EVER GUISE. SRSLY. BEST DAY.

oh, why? you may ask.
mainly because... I GOT MY LEARNERS LICENSE YEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

basically, i woke up (at 2pm, cough) and i check my phone and i see i have two texts: one about having a voicemail, and one text message from an unknown number that started off with 'hi your new...'. and i was like OMG THIS IS THE TEXT ABOUT THE GLASSES OMGOMGOMG. so i opened the text message but my phone completely froze because its shit as, so i took out the battery, put it back in and restarted it. and it froze again when i tried to open the message and i had to take out the battery and restart it LITERALLY 4 times, but i tried to be patient about it because i had a feeling that it was about me getting my glasses, so i was in a good mood. ANYWAY, i finally open the meessage, and sure enough, it was about my glasses being ready and i seriously freaked and was like

and ran out of my room yelling out to my mum that my glasses were done. she thought i said 'my eyes are healed' because in chinese, glasses and eyes are the same word, and done and healed are the same word, so she was like WTF?! and im like, no no i mean, the glasses glasses. but she wasnt as excited as me....

ANYWAY, this meant that once i got my glasses, i could immediately go get my learners license. my glasses only took 2 working days to make and send here all the way from sydney!!! AHHHH BLESS THAT RECEPTIONIST. SHE IS SERIOUSLY THE SWEETEST 'STRANGER' I HAVE EVER MET. she marked it as 'urgent' which is why i got it so early. srsly. just ...

 she asked me to go back and show her my license after i got it, but when i got it, their store was closed already :( 

so, i bought my L's from a $2 shop and i pleaded with my mum to let my drive since i had waited so long and didnt want to wait any longer, so we went to this carpark area that was beside a park near my old house for my first time at the wheel ever!! i remembered that place cuz when i was really little and my brother would babysit me, he would take mums car down there and drive recklessly around the carpark with no hands and dragging and shit. hahaha.

my first time at the wheel. oh my friggin god. 

so, i start the engine and im just like, so fucking happy that i'm gonna drive (no one ever told me that tonnes of people learn how to drive before they get their licenses!! WTF GUYS!!!) and my mum tells me to put my foot on the brake while i change the PRNDL and im like, k whattevs, and after i do it, i let go of the brake AND THE CAR STARTS MOTHERFUCKING MOVING AND IM JUST FREAKING OUT CUZ I WASNT EVEN PRESSING THE GAS OR WHATEVER and i slammed the brakes really hard and my mum like, lurched right into the dashboard ahahahhaha. 

i kept trying out the brake but everytime i did it, no matter how softly it was done, we'd still lurch a little in our seats and i was like OMGGGGGGG I SUCK AT DRIVING I CANT EVEN BRAAAKEE, but at the same time i was laughing my fucking ass off. seriously, it was the funniest experience ever. especially cuz i wasnt even pressing the gas pedal, i was just doing circuits around the carpark and like, turning the steering wheel right to the end and my mum was doing a mixture of freaking the fuck out and laughing at me cuz i was turning so hard that my arms were crossing over and she was like WTF ARE U DOING VICKY, and i'm like MA I'M DRIVING LOOK IM DRIVING!!! and there were like, 2 cars in the carpark and i was so worried about crashing into them. AND FUCK YOU JADE i soooo could drive in a straight line!!! 

i dont think i went over 5km/h cuz everytime i wud use the gas pedal i wud freak out from how fast i was going hahahahaha.

oh yeah and my glasses make me look extremely nerdy haha. not even chic-geek, just geek, haha, nor is it like 'sexy librarian', it's more like, plain old librarian sans the sexy. i would take a photo but im using my computer in the dark right now cuz im sposed to be asleep and the webcam doesnt pick up ANYTHING. might post a pic another day though.

another reason today was the best day ever was cuz of the release of the BREAKING DAWN HONEYMOON CLIP THAT WAS AT COMIC CON OMG GUYS.

okay, if you've ever been a crazy fangirl like me, you'd understand this, even if you're fandom is harry potter or whatever. so, the days after the breaking dawn panel at comic con, other (more obsessed) fans like me were hunting down the honeymoon clip that they showed, but NO ONE COULD FIND THE BLOODY THING because NO ONE UPLOADED IT! there was only a stupid audio recording of it which was even more torturous cuz u cud hear music and stuff but u had no idea why the audience was screaming/wolf whistling/awwing. anyway, meilin tells me to go check out her link on facebook, and i put it off cuz im on the phone with sueyeon and meilin doesnt do a very good job on convincing me to see her link, but eventually i go onto her profile,click on the link AND REALISE ITS THE CLIP!!! 

and i freak. the fuck. out. 

....and sueyeons still on the phone wondering why i'm screaming and freaking out. and this continued for like, a minute, until i calmed down to explain that its the breaking dawn clip and yada yada and shes just like "oh. okay." and im like >>;; hold up for a minute, i must watch this.

and tbh it was kinda anticlimatic looool. i'd already heard and read about what happened in the clip and the clip was very bad quality, but I WAS STILL VERY VERY HAPPY!!

and then we had lobster for dinner :B

i got shit pieces BUT STILL!

and cruel intentions was on tv :D

guys seriously.

best fucking day ever.

on a shittier note, i havent actually done any holiday homework. at all. none. zero. 

i tried to start on my personal reading response and opened word and a new document and shit, but then i got distracted by, well, the internet. and then later that night i was going thru all my windows and saw that doc window open and was like 

and i was actually gonna do it tonight in bed, but i got distracted by your mum  this blog post.

nainai

My granny brought a couple of dvds of tv series from China, including Hannah Montana season 1-4.

ohmygod. why. omg. i lol'd.

she also got big bang theory season 1-4 which is pretty fail cuz we already have big bang theory. lol. but she got drop dead diva seasons 1-2 which is pretty good cuz i like drop dead diva! :)

i reallyreallyreally wished she got like, pretty little liars or how i met your mother or something. i really want to watch them!!! guess thats my fault for not telling her. :/

SHE (and my maternal granny who's still in china) GAVE ME SO MUCH MONEY OMG I LOVE THEMMMMMMMM!!!

ouchies

well, slap my arse and call me sally.

I finally did it. I crippled myself :(

After badminton today (which was hilarious, btw) i was just messing around with some other randoms and joanna with basketballs, and i like, fucking, collapsed on my ankle. there was a really gross crunch sound that i heard and it HURT SO FUCKING BAD. I don't think i broke/fractured it or whatever since i can move it, but it's definitely badly sprained. Actually, it might be fractured cuz it seriously is sooooo painful.

So, we were all the way at the sports center and my mum was at the chapel, waiting for me. Joanna piggy backed me all the way to the robertson circle place with all my bags and shit. such a trooper (I LOVE YOU!).

Anyway, got home, lay on bed, suffered and got to the point where i was holding back tears (i'm a pussy i know), and i was like MUMMMMMM HELLPP MEEEEEEEE. and of course, she thought a suitable solution was acupuncture. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
i mean, i guess it wasnt that bad. i just kinda got over the fact that there were little pins sticking out of my skin at various points in my body and the fact that i felt like a pincushion/voodoo doll and just dealt with it, lol. there were some ones that REALLY HURRTTT, but yknw, i'm tough. B| she also used like, this little electroshock thing, omg it was just... so.... naidfo;sdf.

so, today, i was totally expecting to get back like, all of the exams, and was really excited/nervous/anxious of them. turned out to be incredibly anticlimatic. only got back two: maths (Merit D:) and english (Ex, Ex). I was pretty surprised i got excellence in unfamiliar texts in eng, cuz i'm usually so shit at it, but this year i'm actually LEARNING stuff in english (SHOCK HORROR GASP!). crazy! who knew you go to school to LEARN and get an education? Pshaw. Ummm, pretty gutted about the maths result lol. only 7 people in our entire class got Excellences, so that makes me feel better haha. Algds though, I can work on it for end of year exams (NCEA OMG).

parents arent letting me go to school tmrw though (ohthankgod, can you imagine me hopping around the school like a big dick?) i think i might just email my subject teachers and ask for my exam results cuz i really want to know.  i want to go to the hospital tmrw to see if its broken or not :/

My brothers girlfriend called just before and i was like "Lol, hi?" cuz u knw, i'd think she'd want to talk to my bro. But she started talking about vampire diaries, and i was like :D cuz i lent her season 1 and pretty much forced her to watch it, and she diiiiddd, and SHE'S TEAM DAMON, SO SUCK IT MEI/other pple who are team stefan. but lol, she started watching it on saturday and now its only wednesday and she's finished it all, and she's liek "omg damons so hot!! andifjsdfsdf damon kissed elena but it was really katherine, etc.... do you have season 2?!?!?!?" and im like lol nup sorry. YES SHES OBSESSED WITH THE VAMPIRE DIARIIIEESSS!!! I'm pretty much this close from saying to her "... WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!!" and giving her a big hug.

speaking of 'this close'. this mornings choir rehearsal was a frickin' disaster. I came in five minutes late (as usual) but i actually did try really hard this morning not to, and woke up really early and i wudve got there at like, half past, except my dad wasnt awake yet so i had to wait for him and shit. and she was soooo pissed when i walked in and was all like "YOU'RE LATE" and sheepishly, i'm like "yeah... um, sorry :(". after me, FIVE people walked in late, including michelle who is ALSO ALWAYS LATE and she normally comes in at EIGHT which is twenty minutes late but our choir teacher never yells at her. and plus she's been at kahunui so she really shudnt be late since she needs all the practice she can get. anyway, michelle, if ur reading this, im just using you as an example, i'm not like, trying to hate on you or nuthin'. well, our choir was sounding pretty shit so ms director gave us a big lecture and walked out on us and we were just sitting there liek ".... what.". so, we rehearsed on our own and a couple of other music teachers including ms G came out and they gave us big lectures and told us that ms director was crying in the staffroom and we were liek D: omg what?!  I mean, every other year i've done choir, i've never heard of anyone practising outside of the rehearsals and we've always got like, silvers and gold awards. I don't want to blame the new director, but thats the only changed variable, yknw? Like, fuck, i've worked HARDER than other years and we still sound shit, like, i practice at home and stuff, but tbh, it seems to be having an opposite effect, yknw? But yeah, competitions in less than a weeks time, and our choir isnt sounding or feeling very confident. If she was so worried and upset about us that it resulted in her breaking down, i dont understand why she couldn't just suck up her pride after breaking down and come back out again, to show HER commitment, since obviously, we need her as a conductor to practice efficiently. I don't like quitters.

Well, my feet are cold after icing them for so long. apparently you're only supposed to ice them for 30 minutes but i iced them for .... 4 hours? hmmm.....

i guess i had quite a good day? lol, even though i'm complaining so much, i actually felt really positive and easy going today. like, the smile wasnt forced at all. i guess that's kind of a gift, the fact that its not necessary for me to force my smiles most of the time. it just comes naturally? IDK, even with all the shit that's happened today.... maybe thats why i wasnt as gutted about my M in maths?

We also did science ICAS today. it was alright. not expecting too much from it, although a high distinction would be VERY NICE.

here's what i drew for joanna describing her bad day. (i was bored )







The End.
