city noobs

Thank you to my anatomy lecturer who was too busy to lecture us today *two thumbs up* And since my lecture was cancelled I figured itd be a good day to go dress shopping with ness for Pen's wedding. NAAAWWWTTT!! Do we girls ever buy what we're meant to buy when we go shoppin?

But i'll tell u what i did buy.... a swimming cap. Yeah. It goes with my wedding outfit. anyways you know how labels normally say "ONE SIZE FITS ALL". Well this swimming cap company must have been Christian cuz they were pretty honest.



lol. It's like "errrr guys... maybe this cap really doesnt fit everyone... Like think about it... what if a few ppl on this earth have extraordinarily large heads." (not naming any names... sime.)

Happy birthday to sime btw *thumbs up*
What is with me and thumbs up now?

Me and ness shouldnt go to the city alone when we both have no clue where we're goin.

Me: I need to go to that place... and its like at the end... and its like... got buildings and shops and stuff.
Ness: *mental sigh* Broadway? Queens square? Winter Garden?
Me: Yeah.

after half an hour of walk back and forth aimlessly tryin to look for sumfin familiar we finally found our destination.... Macathur Central

Ness: macathur central sounds nothing like Winter Garden.
Me: Meh. Sounds the same to me.
*exchange unimpressed looks*

one day my friends... one day i will know my way around the city... and my own neighbourhood...

i got bored

the awesomest handshake

Day with Vances Tong and Franessa Day

im poooooped guys, pooped. Lifting heaps of boxes that weigh 18kg each and carring them over great distances and stacking them up is noooo picnic. OH YEAH. thats right. this prissy sissy may not be as prissy and sissy as you think. i really should stop using words more than once in the same sentence. k. when i say "heaps of boxes" i mean 7. and when i say "great distances" i mean ten metres away. but still... they were heavy. ive got schwarzenegger arms. bui knows what im talkin bout.

u know, as a reggie chick at crazy clarks u experience things that dont happen to u very regularly outside work. where else do a guy and girl approach you... stop infront of you... and make out.

*couple making out at register*
Me: *hands credit reciept* Could I get you to sign here please? *still going* Umm. Guys? Guys? Sign here please? Guys? bahhh k whenever you guys are good and ready.
Chick: Oh sorry. Everyone can see hey.
Me: Hey you just read my mind :D thats kool.

k it didnt happen quite like that. anyway my passionate argument that im gettin at is that reggie chicks arent actually invisible and our registers arent a pitstops. i mean, our register is our office. nobody wants to be turned off in their own office.... this is the worst argument ive ever made.

more stuff on crazy's. crazy clarks sells the most promising products ever. My favourite is the packaging of this huge easter egg we sell. it is called... the AWESOME EGG. oh yeah.. its awesome. the box has a picture of kool lookin cartoon bunny wearing sunglasses and its pointing to a car. Its speech bubble says "THIS EGG IS MORE AWESOME THAN MY CAR!!"
whhhhhhhat. where did these people learn how to advertise? Griffith? Just kidding Ness :P
But yeah awesomest egg ever.

There's also this liquid hi-lighter that says - Will "never dry" even with cap off.
What do the inverted commas even mean??? so when they say "never dry" what they really mean is "will dry very quickly indeed".

have i ever told u guys bout this voice over thing that happens at work every hour or so? hmm why am i asking questions on a blog?
darn it.
sigh anyways every crazy clarks store has to play this excruciatingly annoying elevator music along with this dudes voice that promotes the store to our existing customers. his lines are the cheesiest thing you'll ever hear.

Cheesy dude: Here at crazy clarks, we work together as a team and that team spirit shines through in making a difference in people lives, by making great products affordable!
Me: Yes cheesy dude. We ARE saving lives by selling cheap products. The logic... is simple.

see, what cheesy dude is tryin to say is... "You customers are poor people, and we are so glad to be helping you who are needy. Please buy our stuff"

mmmm im gunna go... i feel sick from eating too many easter eggs and jelly beans today.

helleeeew

i finished my anatomy exam today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont confuse that excitement with me thinkin i did well. i just hope i passed lol. i think i guessed most of it.

OT chick: I hope you guys picked up on that trick question.
Me: What trick question???
OT chick: What muscles in the arm are innervated by the ulnar muscle.
Me: OH that.... i put 'none'.
OT chick: Yeah your right. And the reason for that is (hmmm i think i tuned out after that...)
Me: *blank look full of blankness* oooooh... yeah i put 'none' cuz i couldnt think of any muscles.
OT chick: Good effort.

anyways... now presenting more of the random blog bout random thoughts.

Random thought no. 1 - k this crazy thing happened a few weeks ago. i was walking from the bus station on the way home and i saw a bunch of asian dudes........ no no u don't understand the significance of this event and no no im not talkin bout *twirling hair and goin up to these asian dudes to ask for the time* im talking bout asians. in. springwood. there are noooo asians in springwood. k im exaggerating... theres supposed to be ONE asian in springwood. and these guys looked like asian-gangster-wannabes wannabe gangstering (its fun to repeat words in the same sentence). when the asian gangsters reach a suburb u KNOW asians are on the verge of conquering that land.

Random thought no. 2 - i discovered today something bout myself that i never really take notice of. I always like to shop after something stressful like an exam. but i dont mean spending $100 on socks. i find the best bargains after exams. i was swimming in $5 tops *pictures self dancing and twirling in slow motion with $5 signs everywhere*. chyeah. i am ze bargain queen.

Random thought no. 3 - The Lolly shop at UQ should be called the "Candy Store".

Random thought no. 4 - I have to get a first aid certificate. Right now im depending on this little wallet-sized instruction manual on CPR. As you guys may know... im a slow reader... so if you happened to have a heart attack at this age... you better hope and pray that im not the only person around. BUT im sure i'll be good at saving people after this course.

mmmmmm im gunna rest my thoughts now. Have a happy easter everyone. Hope we remember what its really bout :)

Uni vs. Highskool

kk i gotta admit uni life is a degree better than highskool. i survived the second week and there are a few differences between uni and highskool that I've picked up on.

No. 1 - People are extremely polite. No guys telling u to "shake that ass" and no cat fights where girls nearly die from getting punched in the temporal (so far).

No. 2 - Walking to the next class is like a loooooooong venture across the surface of the sun. I mean even though I had to walk to seperate buildings for each class in high... at least we had a few covered pathways. Each step at uni brings me closer to skin cancer. They wanted to have a little more fun by making all the buildings and pavements white so that we can be blind too.

No. 3 - Tutors tell you to wear skimpier clothing. Ok I lie. ONE tutor told us to wear skimpier clothes. Not saying that highskool girls wore nun costumes every free-dress day (the 'day of opportuny') but you see, in anatomy we must learn more about the body and we must be able to see the body and be able to touch the body. Apparently t-shirts are not appropiate as it is difficult to touch body parts through clothing. Singlets and shorts are preferred (not too sure by who). And yeah... there is a lucky handful of guys in OT.

No. 4 - Alot more asians. I used to feel special.

No. 5 - Academic people dominate. Remember highskool toilets? I dunno bout everyone else but springwood toilets were dark, dirty and 4 out of 5 toilets were in no condition to be used. The toilet doors were covered with graffiti, rude comments, random swearing and confessions of a teenage 'emo'. And if not that then a fresh coat of paint (usually a colour which resembles vomit). But at UQ... omg. This is what I found on the toilet door of the Psychology building.

It's like a violent brawl in Nerd Land.

Nerd 1 : Students - be a conscious contributer to socialism, liberalism - ANARCHY. Think for yourselves!

Nerd 2: Why would you want anarchy? Without the government, you hippies wouldn't get your centrelink payments.

Nerd 3: You're so foolish. (lol foolish... that must be the closest thing to a swear word) Socialism and Liberalism aren't about thinkin for yourself. Do us all a favour and read up on your political science.

(I dunno how they managed to bring an insult back to study)

Nerd 4: You obviously don't know ANYTHING about the history of social welfare in Australia... one of the best welfare systems in the world.

Yes..... The toilet doors at UQ are the hot spots of political debates.

Tea etc... the EMP youth hang out

here's a few things that happened bout 30 mins ago...

Vonnie: Oh look... they have chairs over there.
Me: *stares at chairs* I want the tall one...
Everyone: *turns around* Which guy are u talkin bout? Are you talkin bout Simon?

a while after that...

Ness: *stares at the light in the shape of a light bulb on the wall* You know... that thing looks like a miniature version of what guys pee in....
Everyone: oh. my. gosh...
Ness: urinal urinal URINAL UARNIAL AURIALL

*silence*

Ness: *looks at lightbulb* I want the white one...
Everyone: You mean Colin?

minute later...

Ness: I want the chocolate one...
Everyone: That's bui
Ness: oh.

Sandra: I want the asian one...
Everyone: bahh... GREEDY!!
Heidi: "I love boys *mwah*"

Another one...

Ness: *Points to tiny speck on the table* What's that??
Emily: Your brain.

OH! this one.

Rev Ling: So Tim... it's your birthday?
Timmeh: Yeah.
Rev Ling: mmm I have to push you into a pool with these two beautiful ladies *points to me and audrey*
Timmeh: ........... but why??
Rev Ling: Because it's your birthday!
Timmeh: .............. I don't... understand...
Frances: But we don't have a pool.
Rev Ling: Well we must find one!!

Soooooo random.

uni noob

k so as u all may know (or should know since i told every breathing being) i am now a uni student. before u guys start picturing me being lost in the middle of a pond or sumfin... i should tell u that i didn't get as lost as i imagined. all thanx to my trusty "asian-tourist" map. two guys actually came up to me and asked if i knew where the law library was. so TAKE THAT! they've actually mistaken me for someone who knows things. hence i didnt look too nooby either

but if u were the lecturer then ud see a very different look on my face. the "shifty-lookin-at-other-ppls-notes" look.



ok it didnt exactly go like that... but when i saw the girl next to me scribble away.. i did think i was clueless.. only to find out she was half way through colouring her square.

breaking the ice with uni ppl is so easy. just make them laugh... theyre a crowd thats easy to please. in my first tutorial the teacher dude made us introduce ourselves to the rest of the class by saying our name (including last name so he could mark us off) where we're from and if weve been to uni before. since i was last i thought id just make fun of myself being a noob, a bogan and having the last name dong.

after the tut this girl actually came up to me to compliment my jokes.

random chick: i really liked the way u said "ding dong" *smiles as if we should talk bout this for another ten minutes*
me: lol yeah...
*awkward silence*
me: *thinks* would u like an autograph?

friendly ppl at uq :) shall be looking forward to meeting more complimenting-square-drawing-library-searching ppl.

a post

ok so it's been a while since i blogged anything. so here it is. today i went to meet up with Gloria (my little primary skool bestie).



awwwww its always good to bum around the city with an old friend :)

and we went window shoppin (aka shoppin-for-the-broke-students-who-get-four-hours-a-week-at-povey-crazy-clarks *sigh* the story of my life).

we came across a bunch of asian tourists being lead around the city by a guide. typical... short pants, cap, sneakers and huuuuge backpack. sooo kool it hurts.


so i wanted to join in. we took a few photos with random things we found.

i saw this chick on a sale sign. my gosh she looks bout ready to jump off a cliff to end her misery.




what's that over there? a sale? why? *gets on hands and knees* WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?

man.. when the emo epidemic has reached the girly shoppin community... u know its gone waaaaay too far ppl.


glors got a bit of tourist action too.





Glors: It's like an eclipse!!
Me: No, it's not.
Glors: oh yeah... it's like an anti-eclipse!!

if u kinda squint a little... its like shes posing with a comet thats heading towards earth and about to end life as we know it.















if u squinted at the screen... bahahahaahahahahhahahahahah ahh. anyways!



we also walked past this guy who was tryin to convince us to be greenies. once i made eye contact, i knew it was all over.

Greenie dude: Hey would u be interested in our environmental..
Me: (NOOOO PLEASE NOOOO) ah no thanx :) *keeps walking*
Glors: *stops right in front of him to say hi to a friend*
Me: (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
Greenie dude: Well now i can talk to u :D
Me: *dies a little inside*

Greenie dude: So ah where u from?
Me: ... Brisbane?
Greenie dude: lol no i mean where are u originally from? like korea?
Me: ... Melbourne?
Greenie dude: oh... multiculturalism all the way!

ok STRIKE ONE greenie dude... if ur tryin to get money from ppl... dont assume every asian is a fob.

then he starts goin on bout cutting down trees and the debate bout carbon.

STRIKE TWO MR. don't assume every teen understands chemistry.

then he started gettin really passionate and swore during his speech. STRIKE THREE! dude, dont think that swearing bout carbon to an australian-asian is gunna get empathy. man i think he would have done alot better if he just showed me a picture of a baby tree with puppy dog eyes being murdered by the evil paper-making-company Reflex... then asked me for change.

but he seemed like a nice guy :)

met up with maxie poo too so its been an awesome day today :)

k im done.

lol ness

Dreamworld

Well since tim did a pretty good report of dreamworld, sime put photos up and ness made a play... i got nothin but a cartoon strip.. of timmeh of course. lol life of the party that guy.

photo album photos

so i was going through my one and only photo album of pictures from when i was born till now (its not even full yet) and i found some interesting peices.

k u know how asian parents protect valuable items like the TV remote in clear plastic so that it doesnt get dirty but the plastic gets dirty anyway? and it gets to the point where the plastic is so cloudy that u cant even see the numbers on the remote anymore. well this photo demonstrates the precautions my mum took when i was such a troublesome little baby.


























i gotta say.. in my younger years... i was the most fashionable dresser ever. i mean... i dunno why ppl didnt ask me to take up modeling...


























does everyone know my 'seductive wink'? u would be so lucky to see me at my sexiest.






















but did u know that it wasnt in my late teens that i developed this look of seduction.... i was doing it way back in the day....like... the DAY I WAS BORN!!!

Formal

Springwood buddies, here are some pro photos i got printed. You may steal them now. luv frances

I'M BAAAAAAAACK

Melbourne was awesome. It's all a blur now but yeah it was sooo much fun. but first things first... ANYTHING BUI AND EMILY SAY ABOUT ME AND MELBOURNE CAMP IS A LIEEEEE. ok now that that's done.. let me share with u kids what REALLY happened at camp.

well yeah the camp was like a collaboration of all Chinese Methodist Youths around Australia. 4 ppl from our youth went - me, Em, Janet and Janet. There was an english side and Chinese (fobs) side. it was pretty much like EMP youth camp except.. I like knew no-one. Except the 3 other girls. So yeah... u end up repeating ur conversations as soon as u talk to someone else. gets tiring though. this is an example of my conversations on the first day of camp.

Someone: What's your name?
Me: Frances. But u can call me France or Francey or Fran or Franny or Frank or Frankie or Frankus or Francine or Francesca or Fanny Dong.
Someone: *blank stare* So Frances, where are you from?
Me: Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane.
Someone: What nationality are u?
Me: Well I was born in Australia, Melbourne actually, but my mum is Cambodian and my Dad is Chinese.
Someone: So what do u do?
Me: Umm..
Someone: Like do u work?
Me: Bahahaha
Someone: ok... so ur studying?
Me: Well no.
Someone: *Thinks 'so ur a bum?'
Me: I just graduated from highskool
Someone: NO WAYYYY...
Me: How old did u think I was?
Someone: 20 or 21
Me: Why is it that whenever I'm in a group of asian strangers they think im older than I am?
Someone: So...what do u want to study?
Me: Bachelor of Business Management at the University of Queensland dual with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology.

ok. now these are my answers to the same questions by the end of camp.

Name? Frances.
From? Bris
Nationality? It's confusing
Work? I'm 17. dun worry, everyone else thinks im old.
Study? Business (topic will end there... dunno why...)

oh and i've been told this camp is like a dating service... married couples met at these camps. but let me tell u.. it's no dating service... everyone already had boyfriends and girlfriends. not that i was lookin or anything. shut up bui.

oh and it's tru that when u dont have something u appriciate it more. never have i wanted to taste the taste of tasteless water so badly. the camp water was yellow and tasted like fish and algae.

oh and i was always hungry at camp. ive finished all my meals *slaps self in face* and they were reasonable meals too. today i got home and my mums like "You havent been sleping have u. ur so skinny!" I have been eating! i tells the tarooth.

oh and my alter ego 'crazy asian photo taker' was unleeshed once again. (refer to myspace)

oh!!! i have to show u this. ok one the very first day i noticed that some ppl at camp look like ppl from EMP.



Sven's twin


Nathan's twin


Joshua Ting in 13 years


Sime L's twin (He did that pose himself)


Brian and Alex's third brother

but anyways lol it was fun and all but what i loved bout camp was seeing so many ppl have a passion for God. made me realise i few things. shall blog bout it later. for now i must go. hope to see my EMP buddies tomorrow!!
luv francey

springWOOD formal

they said it's not possible... but with God... i achieved the impossible...

bahaha ok serious now. i have achieved what asians has dreamed of doing... not spending a dime on their formal outfit.
dress - bec's
shoes, handbag - max's
makeup - viki
hair - myself
jewellery - viv's

ahh the beauty of having asian friends who understood my ambitious goal.

FORMAL WAS AWESOME!!! (or is was just better than what people expected... which was crap) so ok let me take u through what happened on "my big day". why do ppl make it sound like my wedding? anyways so we went to skool that day.. yeah crazy... but its springwood... logic just doesnt come into it. and we got our skool magazine (or year book) and i open it up to see... most photos were taken by myself. i will now forever be remembered as the crazy-asian-photo-taker.

so anyways i got home. and did my hair (in about 15mins). pay-50bucks-for-a-hairdresser-to-do-unnecessary-things-to-my-hair-for-90mins my ass. and then i headed off to meet viki to get my makeup done. the 2 hours sitting in a chair is all a blur to me. but one thing i do remember. viki is wonderful at makeup but there was one incident where she put black eyebrow liner on my eyebrows. but the thing is.. my eyebrows are already black.. so it just kinda 'enhanced' the blackness.

viki: Do you like it??
Me: yeah.......
*stares at mirror*
Me: but um.. do u know charlie chaplain?
Viki: yeah i know charlie chaplain.
*pause*
Viki: *gasp* oooooh my gosh! err let me get that off for u.

but yeah lol everyone loved her work so claps to viki :D omgshhhh seeing everyone all dressed up and adult-like was freaky as! and skool ppl saying i look nice is just as freaky. well come on.. i really dont care what i look like at skool.. u wear the same uniform everyday.. and when u look like u work at McDonald's.. u just give up on all hope of lookin good. JOKES. but anyways everyone looked sooo celebrity. formals show that anyone can look beautiful.. just depends if u could be stuffed.

so back to it. we took photos at underwood park. then the limo came. and we took photos in that. then we go to the hilton. and took photos there. then we went in the room to eat. but where oh where was the food? why did they have to make us wait? were they worried that ppl wouldnt take advantage of a buffet? hello.. most ppl didnt have time for lunch that day.. i think we were more than capable. i looked at the menu and it said "Beginners, Main, Dessert" i got my first plate.. ate thinking "ok go easy... save room for the main... abuse the buffet". by the time i finished.. the guy goes "ok now its time for DESSERT!"
WHATTTT WEB OF LIES!!! apparently i already ate my main meal. so thats how the buffet tricked me.

and we danced the nite away. and my feet will never forgive me for what i put them through... curse you high heels.. *gets down on knees* CURSE YOU!!!!

but the nite was soooo much fun. music was awesome and the enthusiasm... never have i seen so much skool pride in a springwood event... and it happened in the last week of highskool.. nice work guys.

ok so i went to an after party... but u see.. everyone was dead tired from formal... we just ended up sitting around drinking (but not me.. if i did i would have been pissing like a pregnant race horse). we couldnt even be bothered to make conversation. ahh but a good nite anyway!

so hope u guys had fun too. will miss everyone. graduation around the corner. bring on the kleenexs. luv yas.
God bless.

m physics buddies

u ever have those moments where ur so close to finishing skool that u start to realise how much u'll miss it and how much u love ur skool friends? i had one of those moments. i was sitting out on the veranda at mickee's and sean's, studying for physics with the dudes. i could never have so much fun studying physics for the exam the next day without my physics buddies.

why i love my physics buddies...?

ok well let's start with pharan. crazy but hilarious guy. when u get him calmed down hes such a nice guy. known him since grade 4 and wow.. we've changed since then. i think we used to hate eachother in primary skool. ahhh good times. lol he's kinda protective too. i love it how he drives me home and KNOWS i have my keys in my hand but has to wait till im physically inside the house before he leaves. i mean... u never know when those crazy geckos will come out to get me :P



then there's mickee. he makes me laugh. and now ur prolly thinkin "gee frances... anyone can make u laugh". but i mean head on desk, running-out-of-air laughter. lol whether its his random swearing outbursts, random sean-hating and random hair-stroking. he also makes me feel at home anywhere. i could have the daggiest hair and wear my PJs to his house and not give a care (which i did last nite).



finally there's sean. one of the nicest guys i know. can't get over how courteous he is. like ok, ud think that in year 12 physics ud be competing with ppl and all... but this guy... prolly one place above me on the ranking ladder... happily explains stuff to me until i get it... and if u didnt figure.. thats a long time. its like that beer ad... "would u give up ur window seat so she can see the view... or would u be like sean? now that gallantry."


dont have an apple photo of sean :(

so yeah there they are. and even though we finished our last physics test and will longer embrace the beauty of hardcore studying together... i know i'll be seeing u guys around after skool, or as pharan calls it - LIFE. i thank God for friends like u guys :) have an awesome week.
peace out.

pop punk rock emo... thing

i slapped sam in the face today. 5 times. lol and it got harder each time.

a bunch of us went to nina's to film a video clip to no doubt's 'bathwater' song. i played the role of a girl whos boyfriend is a man slut. i get mad at him alot, push him around and slap him. i can see my future as an abusive girlfriend. lol jokin! i couldnt even slap sam right. hence we had to do it five times. i think he got a tiny bit annoyed. lol sorry dude! poor guy was bored out of his brains waiting for us to shot the bloody scenes.


oh yeah and i dressed up like a... well.. there are no words to describe it. hmm a sad attempt at a punk rock chick... a 'veronicas'? it has its benefits though... no need to brush ur hair since u gotta tease it every now and then. u can have no clue how to put on accessories like suspendors and it'll look like u 'meant to do that'.


the suspendors are hanging off my ass at the back.

downside is having to reapply the lipstick three times today. hehe ashleigh u so cute.


but a fun day before the cram study week.

aww

Telemarketers

I had three telemarketers call me within 30 minutes. I don't wanna be rude and just hang up so I just kinda stand there and pretend to listen for a minute or two before saying, “I'm not Mrs Dong.” and Ellen shares this frustration. So together we made a list of what to say the next time we get the much anticipated call.

1.My English is not sufficient for this conversation. I do apoligise.

2.I'm sorry, I have selective hearing. Could you please repeat each word five times?

3.My mummy and daddy aren't home. I like peanuts.

4.JESUS LOVES YOU!!! *arms flailing madly*

5.*leave the phone on the table and let the darlings talk their arses off*

6.Umm... I don't know what that word means... could you please spell that? D.E. SLOWER DARN IT!!! D.E.A.L... ok now let me go get the dictionary *hang up*

7.'How are you today, Mrs Dong?' 'oh well now that you've asked... I have these horrible pimples coming up in places you don't wanna know about. Oh but what the hell... I'll tell you.

8.Yes yes that's all good and interesting. But what I wanna know is... did the chicken come before the egg? Yeah betchu don't have that answer on ur script hey!

9.So, what are you wearing?

10.'You should hear about our special offers!' 'Oh I really wish I could but the problem is: I don't want to.'

sackcloth Vs bikini

modesty. now there's a word u don't hear very often these days.
integrity. there's another one.
self-value. dun think that's even a word.. but it is for now.

so i just finished a book called 'Do you think I'm beautiful?' and i've been thinking... what are my own standards when it comes to how i present myself? i mean, i don't exactly want to walk around in a sack-cloth with hair that has never known the purpose of a brush. but i definately don't want to skip around in a skirt that could be used as a belt and enough mascara to pave a car park.

most girls wanna be noticed, adored and loved. but how do they go about it? sure, i could wear more expensive clothes that are skimpier. but let me explain a little something bout myself.

1. i'm asian. therefore i will pay for my money's worth. to pay more for less material is just not logical to me.

2. i don't want to be slutty. now u can wear skimpy clothes and not be 'slutty' but i guess i prefer not to get myself in the situation where i'll be tempted to sell myself short.

3. i want a guy to see me how God sees me. God sees me for who i am on the inside. cliche but true. i believe God finds me beautiful...even in my dorky penguin PJs. id like to believe that i can find a guy who would find me adorable even if im 50 kg heavier and a thousand wrinkles wrinklier.

4. i have God. i don't need guys to whistle at me to feel noticed, adored or loved cuz i get that from God. and its so much purer, more powerful and perfect in every way.

i was shopping with ness on sunday afternoon. we were walking along and this large white figure came our way. what was it? an angel? pop 'n fresh? a chick wearing a white top? yeah. it was the last one. and oooooooh my gosh. did she get attention or what. she was wearing a white top thinner than tissue paper - tight enough to give the support of a bra. i guess that's why she didn't wear one. and for an asian... u just know those things aren't real.

now don't get me wrong. she could have been a really nice girl. but at first site... that's not the kinda message i wanna send about myself. it wasn't appealing. and if its appealing to most guys... then i guess i wouldn't date most guys.

but my point is, i wanna be respected as a girl with integrity. someone who values who she is and doesn't give a care if ppl think she's too 'christian'. it is possible for a girl to have God and have style.

Mr Graham. Physics genius.

the confetti was matt's request.

today

i handed in my last english extension assignment. WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! *dances* i recorded me and Lj doing a victory dance on my camera when we handed in our assignment... then Mr McCarron came in and told us we needed to fix a few things. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. lol that was painful.


i'll tell u what else is painful. Blood knuckles. What's blood knuckles? it's an extraordinary display of pure stupidity. Irrational male ego. and mild entertainment for the audience.

basically ur aim is to keep a 20c coin spinning. if u stuff it up, you put ur knuckles on the desk and wait in anticipation of the other person who flicks the coin into ur knuckles. hard.

if u flick the coin off the desk three times, you get hit by a 50c coin. many other rules, cant be bothered.




phileep's excitement of having the chance to slaughter fairlie's kunckles.

why do we find violence so hilarious. i nearly cried from laughter after watching mickee and sam take turns in slugging eachother. i mean what's so funny bout a fist travelling at a great velocity and colliding with a stationary object (e.g. mickee). i do not know.

but its moments like these that i'll miss once i leave skool.
luv u guys lots.

the attack of the flies

my house is being attacked by flies. dunno where they came from... but they are flooding the house. i must have killed like 20 of them with my trusty fluro pink fly swatter.

i thought i was the best. fly. killer. everrr.. i mean the only person who can kill 20 flies is someone who has so much concentration, so much precision and so much positive chi. lord of the flies my ass... queen fly killer right here.

then my mum had to kill my little moment of victory by killing another 22 flies.

mum: wow. flies in australia are so easy to kill.
me: that's becuz asian flies have alot of kum pow. (my asian word for 'win')
mum: maybe it's becuz aussie flies are too fat... so they can't fly.
me: they can fly... they're just slower and stupider.

yeah didn't realise how racist that sounded till after i said it. was pretty funny though. but yeah apparently asian flies know how to get away from a giant coming at them with a plastic-fan-thing. and apparently you gotta hit them harder. i could give the flies in my house a little friendly pat on the back and they'd roll over and die. maybe it wasn't my kum pow after all.

brb... i c another one... *grabs trusty fluro pink fly swatter*

OMGSH!!! these flies are such fakers! i like swatted one just then and it laid dead for like two minutes and then just got up again all fine and dandy! WEB OF LIES!!! these flies are tricky as... i bet the 20 flies have always been the same fly!


look i even took photos for u guys. see, theres the little guy playing dead...


and there's the little guy two mins later! TRICKEHHH

my kum pow is so non-existant right now.

missing the hols

2 week holidays = 15 fast food meals
= a little more giggle in the arms
= aimless bumming in the city
= 6 consecutive days of the Lims
= 11 consecutive days of going out (achievement for me)
= countless visits to the Lim's house
= watching full grown men grab eachothers thighs and their interesting thrusting action while being pinned to the ground by other men (actually understood the footy)
= teaming up with bui to give steph a pep talk (sorry if we corrupted ur little sis ems)
= $200 dollars missing from account (and by missing, i mean spent)
= 14 days of avoiding anything related to school work
= 10 - 12 hours sleep each nite (oooooooh yeah.)
= no internet (how did i survive? refer to the above)

it's the first day of term 4. and i'm missing the holidays so much. but... just wanna thank God for just an awesome holiday of spending time with friends and having a good time. 5 more weeks of highskool, people!!! *victory dance* we shall party and it will be grand.

oh and most of you may know... that i dressed up like an asian for a costume party at youth. i was the best. asian. EVERRRR.





p.s. ness, you click the pictures... click... like with the mouse lol.
