- This song is majorly cute. Andrew recommended it so I found the high-quality version (y)
     - This is going to be a long ass blog with heaps of pictures and videos! :)
Sunday 04/10/09
     - I really didn't do much today. I did however, manage to study for 2 hours thanks to Andrew. Andrew told me if I studied he would talk to me tonight and if I didn't then he wouldn't. I nearly died but I did it. Haha I realise 2 hours isn't much seeing as the HSC is only around 2 weeks away, but for me, who doesn't study on a regular basis, it's alot.
     - Talkin' Bout Your Generation and Rove were both really good. It was nice to watch TV w/o guilt for once. Haha Rove and Tasma's interview was especially funny/good. Check it out:

     - I was also talking to Andrew over MSN and he drew me some super cute/awesome pictures but I've just realised that I don't have them! My messengerplus wasn't installed so my chat logs didn't save and now I'm so bloody cut. I hope he has them! ><"
     - I also managed to catch Scrubs on TV. I realised it must be pretty cool to be an actor in that show. You get to dress up as so many different things!
Saturday 03/10/09
     - I watched The Incredibles and I, Robot. That is all.
Friday 02/10/09
     - I was late to meet up with Andrew in the City. Sorry for making you wait.
     - We walked to World Square to have breakfast/brunch but changed our minds about eating there so we left and went to the food courts near Chinatown. He was really sweet and went to get the food and brought me a drink too.
     - He then took me home (yes, you were right about the 308 bus) and left with Tuyen back to the City.
     - I got ready for Josh's birthday party and Mum drove me to Central. Met up with Andrew and walked to Harbourside Warf and up to Hurricane. Besides Josh and his girlfriend, me and Andrew were the first to arrive and waited for their friends to come.
     - The food was good. I ordered a 350g rump steak with creamy mushroom sauce. Too bad I couldn't finish it all, but I would honestly go back there again. Thankyou Andrew for paying for dinner <3
     - I had a nice conversation with a random man in the bathroom (it was unisex) and was secretly happy when he called me a 'gorgeous girl'. LOL
     - The bathroom was the best place to take luvos because the entire wall was a mirror (y)
     - After dinner we trekked it back to capital. I gave up half-way and changed into my flats, as did Josh's girlfriend. Passionflower was however full and was expensive to just cut the cake so we went to MC.
     - My flats were still killing me because they were rubbing against my blisters :(
     - Sang happy birthday, cut the cake and then me and Andrew Taxi'ed it home because I did not want to walk up to George St just for Easyway.

To my dearest friends, have you ever wondered how compatible me and you really are? Well don't fret! I have recently downloaded an application called the 'Love Calculator' which will accurately depict (percentage wise) how... well actually I'm not sure what it measures but rest assured! The higher the percentage, the better we would assume. And the results are:


Needless to say, I'll probably never touch this application again. Time well spent *dusts hands*

     - Happy 2 years and 9 months babe <3
 
He was sleeping, I was bored.                               Please excuse my freaky smile.
     - My hair looked so funny after I took it down. It was all boofy and curly! Haha. I looked like I decided to never change my hair from the 80's or something! Bonus: I got heaps of free bobby pins ;)
     - I tutored my cousin and a while ago my aunty came over and brought me some dermalogica products. I haven't started using them yet but thanks a lot!
Wednesday 30/09/09
     - I went to school just for the Year 12 Farewell assembly which wasn't as pleasant as it should have been considering we were steaming in the sun.
     - I was late for my hair appointment at Wink! Hair but managed to find the place. Thanks Minh for dropping me off! My hairdresser was super nice. He took his time, cared about what he did and also made small talk with me.
     - It took longer than expected and $95 later, my hair was done and I was happy with it.
     - Walked down to Pitt St mall and up to MAC to get my makeup done. The girl was nice too and I left with my makeup done and some fake, natural looking lashes,  Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and Select Moisturecover Concealer:



     - I really wasn't sure if my makeup looked any good seeing as I had to take my glasses off whilst see was applying my makeup. I was freaking out as my sister picked me up. I was also running late so I had to rush to get out of the house. I then forgot the invitations (which I didn't even end up needing) so we had to head back and pick those up. I missed out on taking photos at May's house so I met up with everyone at the venue.
     - It was a long walk up to the room and everyone was basically seated already. It was so nice to see everyone dressed up and gorgeous <3
     - The food was OH SO CRAP. Man I can't stress that enough! The music was so so, some good tracks every now and then. It was the people that made the night great. The dancing was fun, taking photos was fun and I enjoyed myself.
     - After the formal, my group headed to Pancakes on the Rocks. Thank you Kevin for driving me and Andrew! I had some wedges. And then me, Linda and Shirley plus dates went out to Pyrmont park to 'enjoy the view'. Lol Thanks again Kevin for dropping me and Andrew off.
     - I'm kind of cut seeing as basically all the photos of me I think I look pretty bad in and what's worse is that they are plastered all over Facebook. Jesus. Well here are some where I don't look so bad:

Tuesday 29/09/09
I jigged double Business to buy my formal shoes and got KFC for breakfast. lol boy am I healthy. Headed to school to watch the Mock assembly and IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD! I need to get the videos off May to show everyone but there were many memorable lines:


Our 'charming' principle

Mr. James: What's that? The sound of no-one caring?

Mr. James: OFF TO PERIOD ONE!

Mr. Rascal: THIS IS WHY I DON'T WEAR A WIG!

The daily struggle of the canteen line

Mrs. Vu: BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE!! (ps. May you are smiling in all of the photos I have of you when you're not meant to be)

A fight breaking out between girls over Lady Gaga. True story.

Boys singing: DAMN she's a sexy chick! A sexy chick!

The school song... revamped

The end dance-off

There were more memorable moments than this but I don't have the photo to go with the line so oh well. We had a small year 12 meeting and then after that, Shirley and I went to hand out invitations for the last goddamn time! We were chasing up these 3 girls and wasted our time seeing as when we were leaving school, we bumped into them. Anyways, we headed home to get ready for our GRADUATION tonight. I had to rush to get out of the house in time and I was panicking seeing as my shirt wasn't ironed, I burned my carpet trying to iron it, then I stained my shirt with the carpet stuck on my iron and I didn't have a jumper to cover it up! My younger sister didn't come home until we were about to leave, but I got her to get me a jumper from her friend on the block... whose sleeve happened to be ripped :| Just my luck. We drove to Randwick Boys and I was so happy to see everyone. I was really reluctant to take photos though seeing as I didn't wear any makeup and my skin was really bad. I didn't want to wear any makeup since my skin has a tendancy to react with even more pimples and formal was the next day! Looking back now, I regret not taking more photos but I couldn't really help it. It took a while for us to actually line up and head into the boy's hall and the night was slowwww. Highlight of my night was getting my graduation certificate (or w/e it was) then Andrew suddenly yells "YEAHH!" and Ms. Poser commented that I had a fan. Haha Graduation night was soon all over and I didn't want to keep my family waiting so I left. As a celebration, we went around to get fast food from Maccas, KFC and Dominos and my mum even picked Andrew up to come back to our house.

Monday 28/09/09
It still hasn't really hit me that I'm graduating tomorrow and that I'm finishing school. It also hasn't hit me that my formal is in two days and my HSC in 3 weeks. Gosh! Today I skipped roll call with Amanda to head up to the Spot and buy food for my Business Studies party. I went to English because I had nothing better to do, and Business was good because for once we were not doing work. I didn't bother going to the rest of the periods. Helped making some extra invitations for the formal, played cards with friends and went with Shirley to the City to buy stuff for the formal. Yes, I am that last minute. Met up with May and we walked around looking for gold heels but I got no luck. Thanks guys for coming with me :) Luckily, the 308 came so I didn't have to walk so much. I am excited for everything!

Sunday 27/09/09
I did nothing today. The James Bond movie was bloody awesome though!

Saturday 28/09/09
Andrew came to see me after he finished work. Tis all I remember :)

"Now we've been through some problems. Trust me we can solve this. We got too much in it to lose, too much in it to prove..."

I really should blog more on a constant basis. When I don't blog for a while, I keep putting it off knowing the massive recapping I will be doing. But if I don't blog I feel like my memories are slipping from my hands and I'm not doing anything about it. So here I am :)

I am extremely happy it is a Friday. Funnily enough though, I also feel quite discontent. I keep jumping from being happy to being discontent so don't mind me if this blog does the same. Today I bussed it to Hyde Park and waited for Andrew. He was late again and I didn't receive it too well. Is it really that hard for you to be there on time/early for once? We walked to Pitt street mall whilst arguing but it eventually died down when he apologized and I couldn't find Diva. Decided to find M.A.C to pay to get my make-up done and I never realised you had to pay before the actual appointment. I got some KFC to eat and we ran out of time so we trekked it down to Eddy Avenue to catch a bus to my school. I kinda missed sitting next to him on a bus. We are closer than in a car and he can concentrate on me rather than driving :) Got off at the Spot and brought some Doritos for the English party. Andrew walked me to school and then left for work. I walked out to the oval to find the year 12'ers jigging maths. We played tips, took photos and it was fun to hang out and rebel (we are banned from sitting on the oval). After that my English class had a party which was good fun. Ms. Livesey gave everyone cards which I thought was very sweet. I spent lunch talking to Ray and it was just a good conversation. I told her that my lack of confidence was really due to my bad skin and she just told me that I doubt myself too much and I have nothing to worry about. Thanks, it means alot. I was so into the conversation, Shirley comes out and tells me the lunch bell had already rung and we had Chinese. Lol, I didn't even notice! Chinese was bludgey and Business was spent doing the 2004 paper. Waited with Shirley at the busstop but the bus never came, so we had to public bus it and my mum made yummy pho for me :) Step up is also on tonight. The only thing I'm not that happy about is the fact that Andrew won't be finished work till late late late. SIGH! I just miss him and I just want to talk to him. I'm trying to finalise my UAC application tonight. Yes Shirley, I'm taking your advice ;) There's no point waiting till later thinking that time will help me sort out my preferences... cause it won't!

And because I am bloody lazy now ...
     - I don't have high cholesterol and I am B + for blood type. In your face my optometrist!
     - How was I meant pick if I wanted my own father in my life or not? What kind of question is that to force on a child? I'm not sure why I am so hurt when I think about the moment my sister pushed him out the door, telling him to never come back. I've lived so many years of my life w/o him, can't remember ever having a real connection with him, so why does it still hurt so bad?
     - Think my mum is surprised I was able to speak so much Vietnamese. I guess she can thank my inner drama-queen.
     - There's drama everywhere I look and you are no exception. I started doubting you and we just ended up having an epic argument. Everything is okay now, but I wonder for how long? How long until we start arguing and fighting again because nothings really changed? Nonetheless, I miss you like crazy.
     - I am disappointed in my English mark. My rank has dropped three ranks and I'm not happy that I ended the year with such a flop.
     - People are so damn ungrateful. Why are you complaining about the decisions we make when you had the chance to join and be apart of the democracy? Everyone had a chance to join, yet you decided to be lazy and now criticize what we do as we try to do it to the best of our ability. Rarely does anyone say thanks for all the lunch hours and effort we put in into making our formal night a good night. Rather people just complain and put the blame solely on us when things go wrong.
     - I wasted money on formal shoes I regret buying. Now I have to go out and get a new pair because the old ones don't fit properly. Wish me luck! Only 5 days to the formal now so I'll probably settle for whatever I can get :)
     - Janette's lyrical poem is Biology was awesome! Good on you for having the guts! If she posts up the poem on Facebook, I'll get it for you to read :)
     - I saw Andrew on Wednesday. Felt like I hadn't seen him since forever. He only added to my crappy day at first; making me wait an hour plus, but this eventually picked up. We had dinner at Poporos and he took me home and spent time with me till late.
     - The dust storm on Wednesday was horrible... but cool. I hear there will be another on Staurday, but not so bad?
     - I did my Chinese Oral for the HSC last Saturday and have felt shit since the examination. I could have done better. There were two questions I had never even heard of before and I lost all composure as soon as I entered the room. Goodbye band 6 and band 5! I realise it's over and done with now and I can't do anything about it, so why can't I just get over it? I'm quite obviously going to go mad when the HSC really rolls around.
     - Only a couple days of school left!! I'm happy yet scared at the same time. I need to get a grip on my study so if I have any questions I can ask my teachers now and not be freaking out over the stu-vac!
     - I really want to learn how to drive! I want to be able to take myself to places and pick Andrew up and freak him out with my crappy driving skills!
     - I quite like the new Dalesford ad. I read some forums where people disliked the ad, but I think it's cool :)

I'm assuming this song is a demo for a female artist since he sings it from a woman's perspective :)

Finding a self-selected for History and Memory is so damn hard. I think I'm just going to settle for anything and get this crap over and done with! Last assessment before my HSC. YAY! I've been procrastinating for the whole day so I must cram my English tomorrow. I have given up today.

In my procrastination adventures I came across this: "UAI Aim: Who needs University? All I need is a prehensile tail so that I can grab onto things like a monkey." ROFL.

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I usually never have this much drama in one day. I woke up early in the morning even though I had a double free to go get a blood test with my mum. It didn't actually hurt but I was just scared of the idea. I don't really like my family doctor because I think he's dodge. He still has like an 80's haircut which highlights the fact he is old-fashioned. I went to have breakfast with my mum which was a nice change. She then drove me to school and because I couldn't eat all of my food, I got to have it for lunch ;) At lunch the formal committee were setting things up for the formal, and I was simply in charge of handing people their invitations. It's so funny how we have some dodgey-ass ones because well, they are hand-made after all. After the rush, the formal committee got our invitations and I think they are pretty as haha. After school, family drama carried on up until around 2 in the morning. My cousin also came over so I could help her with her tutor work. The things they learn are so hard for primary school.

Sigh...

"I see the twinkle in your eye, yeah.
& I start thinking that it might, not hurt to let you in.
Let you touch me again and feel what I've been missing..."

I figured since I listen to Lil Wayne, I might as well listen to Lil Brod because they sound pretty similar (the raspy voice part).

Thursday 10/09/09
School was jammed packed with things today. Had double Chinese in the morning and I got my trial back. I did pretty bad seeing as I only got into the 60's but on the bright side I came 8th in my class!... so what if there's only 11 people in my class? Haha. In the second period of Chinese me, Shirley, Natalia and Meike went down to the art room to help make the formal invitations. We got all of them done pretty quickly but it was quite evident some people can't stick paper on straight. We stayed in the art room to discuss the formal at recess and then I had Business. For assembly, me, Shirley, Natalia and Meike went down to room 101 to finish off the invitations by sticking on the bows and that was also done quite quickly. The formal committee + Annie came down to 101 at lunch and we just had a nice chit chat, chose some music and Shirley explained how the menu worked out. Then I had Maths and Biology. The video in Biology killed me and thankgod Mrs. Jones gave us an early mark! I walked down to my busstop w/ Janette and got driven home by my mum (y) When I turned on my computer, this note popped up:

"hey just remember i really love you yea?

 cuz i do and hope to see you after * *****...?
 even you being in the shower atm..?
 well i miss you already sighs.

 <33 i love you ^______^ MWAH big kiss"

Poor grammer but it definately made my day <3 :):):)

Wednesday 09/09/09
I had English first period and found out my rank: 10th out of the entire year and I'm pretty estactic about it ;) At reccess, I showed the formal committee my drafts for the formal invitations and everyone decided on the same one. Thankgod there was no argument with this decision! After school I met up with Andrew and we bussed it to Central. I was very happy that he was bothered to come see me and we headed to MC to eat at the sushi train. We were cheap and went to get a fire engine before heading into eat haha. I dragged him around to look at some stores and then we went into Galaxy and we blew $15 gambling on this machine. Haha sorry I wasted your money but you knew it made me happy :) We then bussed it back to my place and simply just spent some time together because he had to leave around 7. I watched TV for the rest of the night until Andrew called. I went to sleep pretty early, around 10:30 (y)

Tuesday 08/09/09
School was pretty average today. Sorry that I had to back out on you Shirley! I came home and my sister had to drive me and my sister to my Aunty's house straight away. I was kinda pissed that I wasn't even allowed time to wipe the sweat off my forehead but I got over it quickly. I haven't seen my relatives in a long time and it was good to bond and spend time with them. I've learnt to treat my cousins with more respect and not to treat them like 'little kiddies' because they are smarter than that. I went over to my other cousins house which was a couple blocks down and then back to have some dinner. My mum eventually called and said we were going home but I had finished elping my cousin with her homework and was just watching TV by then. Also just wanted to mention my Aunty is super nice and I'm glad she's more 'hip' than my mum ;)

Monday 07/09/09
After school I went with Shirley to Bondi so we could both look around and she could buy her formal dress. Unfortunately for her, the store didn't stock her dress but I'm happy for her as she found her dress in a different store and she currently has it. Anyways, wer walked around all of Westfields but I didn't end up finding any shoes I liked. We then headed to QVB in the City and had a look around there. Also found nothing there and we decided to head home. It was dark out and once we got onto the bus it started pouring. Andrew picked me up from my busstop and came over to use my printer... which he fixed which was great :) GNW was awesome like per usual.

Sunday 06/09/09
I absolutely love Rove: "She's gonna have his balls... then she'll have four!" I also just wanted to mention that Kate Miller-Heidke was so damn pretty and she was great live. I appreciate singers which can sing live and wish I could sing like them <3

I absolutely love the melody in the beginning of the song... even if I can't relate to the lyrics :)
So here I am on Sunday at 6:58pm and I still have a bunch of homework and studying which needs to be completed. I haven't exactly got back into the studying mode since trials and I am wasting valuable time! Yes, I am trying to pep myself up ;) Anyways, I've been spending some of my time on MLIA and I thought I would share one with you guys:Today at a stop light I noticed the car in front of me had a "Honk if you think Pluto is a planet". I honked. MLIA

Upon reading this MLIA, I wondered if it really was true if Pluto was no longer a planet and if so, why? So I decided to research about Pluto and found this article from the Herald Sun:

PLUTO was stripped of its status as a planet overnight when scientists from around the world redefined it as a "dwarf planet", leaving just eight classical planets in the solar system.

With one vote, toys and models of the solar system became instantly obsolete, forcing teachers and publishers to scramble to update textbooks and lessons used in classrooms for decades. "Pluto is dead," Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology bluntly said on a teleconference. Discovered in 1930 by the American Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto has traditionally been considered the ninth planet, farthest from the sun in the solar system.

However, the definition of a planet approved after a heated debate among 2500 scientists from the International Astronomical Union (IAU) meeting in Prague drew a clear distinction between Pluto and the other eight planets. The need to define what is a planet was driven by technological advances enabling astronomers to look farther into space and to measure more precisely the size of celestial bodies.

Mr Brown added impetus to the decades-old debate on the definition of a planet when he discovered UB313 in 2003. Xena, as it is nicknamed, is larger than Pluto, instantly creating a buzz over whether a new planet had been discovered.

The scientists agreed that, to be called a planet, a celestial body must be in orbit around a star while not itself being a star. It must be large enough in mass for its own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape and have cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit. Pluto was disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's. Xena also does not make the grade of being a planet, and will also be known as a dwarf planet...

For the full article, go here. i certainly didn't know that and I felt quite satisfied after reading this article and a few other sites which mimicked this articles contents. Poor Pluto <3

Today I literally spent my day downloading music. I also with food shopping with my sister at Broadway and I'm pretty happy with my yummy food and my nice pastel coloured Paper Mate pens! I can't wait to use them! <3 I also drove around my block once with my sister. It was scary encountering cars, trolleys and children but she's a much better teacher than my mum. I've only realised recently that my mum herself is a pretty bad driver. My sister gives up alot for my family and I just wanted to thank her for that.

Bloody miss him! <33333333
