Tomorrow is Christmas eve. I can't believe time passes by so fast, I'm not done shopping! But it should do for the time being, late presents are okay right?

My aunt Hidi and her family are here and it makes me happy. I've been shopping with Hidi a lot, and her son Alessio was pretending to be N'Sync yesterday. Hehe! It's cute.

It's a shame that Christmas isn't really *magical*. No matter what, I feel that there will not be peace for absolutely everyone on the planet. I wish that could happen for just one day. We should all at least be polite around people. Like my friend says, "no excuse for not being pleasant, it just makes everyone uncomfortable if they are always in pissing contests" ...anyway, we're getting off the subject.

I GOT TIGHT JEANS. LoL... not my style at all but I'm gonna wear it. Chui Ar!? Hidi likes it.

I'll check back later.

It's been a while since I've written. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, so there's not much to tell. Christmas is coming soon, and I'm proud to announce that I've already given out some presents! Yay! Others I still have to get, but I WILL get them. No worries.

Last weekend I went to OCAD for an industrial design workshop. I came out of it with a better impression of the place than last time. Actually, I know for sure now that I like design! The instructor there was scottish. He was funny and kinda cute. :p He was pleasant and sort of wicked in a sense. Enjoyable. There's something about guys with cool accents, like Darren Hayes. Heehee. I wonder what he's doing right now.

I've watched Lilo and Stitch at least 8 times by now and still I'm not sick of it. It's so real and so cute and so funny, highly recommended.

I got lucky today! Last night I didn't want to do hwk or study for the Calc quiz today. It turned out that the quiz was easy and I got perfect, *and* it didn't count. Lucky duck as Acca would say :) Hey she forgot there was a quiz too!

3.12.02

If I got a dog, I'd name it breadcrust and build it a red house just like snoopy's.
It's over it's over it's over!

Yes! Physics ISU is o v e r ! That means, my whole schedule was a... success! I did'nt have to sacrifice any marks to get good. Woohoo! Now, before another wave of work comes my way I better start catching up on daily homework.

Aside from school, my dad got Lilo & Stitch! Of course I watched it already and it was just as good as in the theatre. Oh I love Lilo's 'Leave me alone to die...' and that old lady with the THICK glasses who couldn't hear well. And David! I wish David was real...

2.12.02

Woh that was intense! But once again I have met up to the challenge and completed my task on time and fairly well done. Chemistry is over! ...for now. Thermaldynamics coming up, woohoo I'm so excited.

Yesterday (Sunday) I had Ramen instant noodles for breakfast --- BAD IDEA. It made me feel so gross afterwards, maybe my stomach can't take it since I might have a tiny little flu. So i felt sick and didn't do any work until 5pm. Formal lab came first and it was done by 11 or so. Afterwards I took a break and went on ICQ and MSN, and took a nap too. At 1am, after a little midnight snack (hehe it was good!) I began to write study notes. From 2:20-3:00am I took a nap, a very conscious one actually to make sure I wasn't going to sleep through the night. Fortunately I didn't. Study notes continued til 5:30 in the morning, half an hour before my mom would wake up. I think I recall hearing her come in to check on my sister and I shortly after I fell asleep. At 7:15 I woke up from a deep sleep and went straight to the shower. Sadly my slow sleepy shower made me (and my sister) late. It was okay though, ah Beek doesn't penalize me for it. I stayed wide awake for the day, even now. It's the sleepless high, I'm telling you. I need to keep it up all the way til the end of tomorrow. Yes, Physics ISU coming up!
I'm actually kind of excited about it, as long as I have time to properly prep up tonight.

Skipping art club again. It's so bad but it must be sacrificed. It's physics!!!

As you might have guessed I'm in the school library. My friends have left for demitris, I think. Either way I couldn't find them. It's okay. HEY! Mo's in the next room for Co-op! I didn't know that!

Yeah, that test was quite intense. It was so thick and my answers were so long. I ran out of time to fix a shape question. It didn't make sense, I tried it in a number of ways. Oh well, I'm still hoping for a 90%.

Which reminds me, I GOT A 90% IN TRIG TEST! My average right now is 93%, woohoo!!! I'm so happy, espcially happy that this is only my first and only Calc trial.

So now, my brain must be washed clean of any Chemistry, and will soon be stuffed with info on X Rays. The presentation should be good if all runs smoothly. We're even doing a skit! It'll be fun. Jacki and Josie ISU partnership never fails, this time we got King Eric too! The 3 Kings (of the orient? Merry Christmas everybody!)

Have I told the story of the Kings yet? Well...
Once upon a time there was a country called JoTse, instead of having one queen and one king, it had two Kings. They are King Joe and King Eric. Despite their love for eachother they have somehow gotten out to each have four children: King Joe with four daughters and King Eric with sons. And it just so happens to work out that all of King Joe's daughters are married to King Eric's sons! (yes, I know.) Not long later, from the land of Hawaii (how un-creative), King Jack is planning an attack to invade JoTse. But of course, the power of King Joe and King Eric will always prevail... (to be continued)

Wow this post is so long, makes up for all the days I didn't write eh?! Maybe no one will have time to read this. ...it's the OT high... wooooh!!!

[Matt: I think the (m)(m)(m)(m)(m) are after your doggie, watch out!]

Hey Hey! Would you look at that? I'm relatively on task! I've gone past the first challenge which was thursday, which turned out to be not bad at all. I had extra time to watch TV and other things too.

Thursday afterschool I went to the ROM with KING ERIC (aka Erica) and the astonomy club. Quite an adventure as Ms Samji left us behind at the subway station and only came to look for us two hours later!! We made it to the exhibit nonetheless, and it didn't disappoint at all. It was a short exhibit but the sets were amazing. I recommend it to even non-fans, me being one. However, because of this trip I've missed another event. Unfortunate, but hey what can you do?

Since that trip I've been on my 'Monday/Tuesday due date challenge'. I can't say it's going well, but maybe its optimal that I've only been doing Physics, since it is the prerequisite.

I shall get back to work with my King now. Tee hee hee! I'll let you know how this challenge goes.

16.11.02

Oh yes, it snowed today! Normally I'd say I hate winter (I still do), but the first heavy snow is pretty cool. There's some personal sentiment that goes with it too, so this part of winter's not so bad. Tomorrow there will be even more snow. This had better not ruin my mood later on. Winter also reminds me that it's summer in Australia. The tribesmen must be happy. Brisbane should be well too.

I watched the video of Crimson Earth performing last night, and it wasn't as bad as expected. It was actually pretty good! Hahaha, that's funny. But I'm glad I enjoyed it. 'Crimson Earth's gonna make it this time!' Haha.

Think that's about it for now. Everyone enjoy your weekends!
It's been a while since I last posted and I must admit that not much as changed. All is 'fine'. As usual, time seems to be going faster and faster all the time (?), more work comes along as you get some done, etc, etc, etc... etc... etc, etc, etc.

Something I hadn't thought about in quite a while: CD's. 98º is apparently taking a break (NOT breaking up as rumours tell) and have a 'collection' out. Maybe I'll check it out. Another one that I'm even more interested in is the new Coldplay album. (How unshamefuly unloyal to 98º.) I think I want it. Also! I just might start a hunt for any and all Savage Garden singles (imported B side albums wouldn't hurt either!) and Darren Hayes singles (B sides). B sides are wonderful... :)

I'm listening to the funked up jazzy acoustic (maybe live) I Want You and it feels so good. I enjoy. I'd like to live like that. I'm talking about the feel.

'Why do you talk that way | Why you so stuck on money | Now it's the top of the world | But it's beneath the girl I love | You used to speak my name | And you filled it up | And you filled my name up | Filled it up with your spirit | Did you raise a fire | Did you roll up in flames | Turn all black and yellow | Did you think of me at all | And how we cut ourselves | On all the sharp tongues in town | When you thought that I | could never let you down ||| Everyone'll let you down | Everyone'll let you down | Everyone'll let you down | Everyone'll let you down' --Philosopher Kings

I love music ¦ )

11.11.02

If you're gonna worry, complain, count, and recount all your workload and not do any while you ramble on, why not just shut the hell up and go to sleep?

Goodnight everyone.

6.11.02

quote of the day:
'Nothing is easy. Everything sucks.' Pok See
My nap went turbo. Now I have to 'hoy OT'.
Physics quiz tomorrow, on homework content that I have NOT learnt, yet. The prices of procrastination.

Today I ate. And that's pretty much all I did. Second period I went to eat dim sum with some friends, and at fourth I went out again to eat. Then, when I came home I ate a little bit of noodles. That can't be good. But, what's done is done. One should always look forward in life. So I'm going to take a nap now, once I finish posting. Then hopefully I will study turbo-oosh, and get the urgent things done tonight. Yay, I'm so horrible. (urgent things)

Again I considered dropping chemistry today. I don't get it. I don't.

Alright, no more time wasted. Off to bed! Nite!

5.11.02

Hmm. So I didn't fail today.

...

...

4.11.02

Ooh! PK-lu!! New instructor (because my usual one crashed her car and has no car to teach with for now) basically told me I suck big time and don't know how to drive at all. Damn!!! I'm gonna be wasting over $200 tomorrow morning, plus come home and cry. Boo.

Alright, better not to think of it now. I'll come back tomorrow to cry some more. I know it, I know it, DAMN I KNOW IT!!!
Here I am at the library again! It's 4th spare and Acca and friends are to my left doing work.

There's this balance theory that I sort of believe in, where good and bad things eventually even out. Well, it's in effect today. The good part was the perr in calculus, and the bad... I just found out that my current Chem average is only 88.8%. That's... undesirable, for an elective. So my plan remains that if I don't get over 90% by midterm, I'll drop the course and concentrate on admin instead. In a way I want to stay in chem but then again there's no telling in how torturous it would be later on. One thing about admin is that it would interfere with my three prerequisites next semester if I let it drag on that long.

Another thing about chem: there's catch up to be done on the electron configuration and periodic trends taught in grade 11 which I dropped out of. Everytime there's a slight challenge like this I'm tempted to drop the course. Heh heh. Whatever, I'll keep running with it for now. At the least, I want to do that multi-coloured fire experiment that's happening soon.

Tomorrow is driving exam! Omg... My prediction is that I won't pass. There are a million things that I do wrong. ie, not covering the brake when approaching unknown or possible danger; not checking mirrors often enough; staring at things for too long; slowing at lane change; not checking blindspot for pedestrians when turning; generally not observant and not careful enough. Parking skills are acceptable. I hope the streets won't be busy tomorrow morning. Ah! I'm so scared!!! And I'll have to carry so much shame if I fail, not to mention all the lecturing and even more distrust from my dad. Ohhh, what to do... what to do...!
Wah!! Per Jor Lah!! ¦ )

I perred my calc curve sketching test. Wee!

3.11.02

Paranoia. I love it, apparently. There are about five to ten health issues that I'm regularly over-worried about (some I'd rather not share), and other little things in my life that I'm annoyingly and pointlessly concerned about. Congrats brain, congrats. But really, today I can't take deep breaths! The left side of my upper chest hurts. Maybe I have asthma...

Here's something I'm concerned about with good reason: my road test. My instructor crashed her car so I have to get another instructor for the last few lessons. Last time I drove this Corolla and hated it, damn horsepower... (No offense to those who drive them but I'm just not used to it.) So now there's another guy with a different car, I'm trying it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll like both car and instructor. Another thing is that my test is moved up to 9:30am, at Laurence. It's gonna be rush hour isn't it?! Oh no!! Aah! I'm thinking of reschedueling, but then I might run into snow. DAMIT!

Anyway... I've never been so good at procrastinating in my life! This is my friggin OAC year for cryin out loud. No, I haven't forgotten about all the rambling that went on in the summer about OOSH and CLUTCH and so on and so forth. Sorry, Terence. I'll try to keep up the 'bing geen jok tzeen' plan. But you go! Everyone go! Some of us are really ooshing up the extra curriculars (ie. Pokium), while some others like me just go to anime club.

Anime club is wicked, though. There's this 'karekano' anime that's super funny. I put my favourite 'vipcaps' of it on the front of Savage Waters, but it won't be that funny unless you've watched it or know the story.

Guess what I got today? Winamp 3! I didn't expect it to be anything special but damn, there's this super wicked skin called MMD3. It's got colour themes and the system's got cross fading and ooooooh so sexy! I got the 'silver2 | darkblue' setting up. So Jiang.

Oh another thing! Marble pop! Won-Jeh and I went to get some today, wee! Why? Because I'm keeping a bottle for Erica and it's been tempting me to try it all weekend. So I got it. It's quite exciting although the pop doesn't actually taste that good. The bottle is too cool. Wee! Marble pop!

31.10.02

I bet you nobody reads this blog.
Happy Halloween, boys and girls! Tonight I'll be dressing up as 'the chem nerd'. Yes, there is a quest tomorrow that I must study for. How evil of Ms. Samji... Maybe it was an attempt for a compensation when she gave out chocolates today in class. Either that, or she's just always generous like this, and does not give a damn about making us study tonight. I don't know which one is better. ...Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't have anything against Samji.

I did my Calculus test today and I *almost* *almost* P.K-ed. It was this one big curve sketching question worth 17 marks. All was going well, and I had 15 minutes to spare when I began drawing the curve. Then I realized, crap! It doesn't connect! That '15 minutes to spare' didn't seem so long anymore and I freaked out, trying to find what went wrong. I went through everything until I got to the second last line of the second derivative... then i found out I copied a sign wrong. Aaaah!!! All that for a stupid sign! ...So i fixed it and it was fine. Wee!

Guess where I am now, in the library. New Langstaff library, oooh. It is pretty nice, much better than the old one. Next period instead of going to physics, I'm going to the Central Library to research for physics ISU. Funky, eh?

Oh, and Mr. Mathews dressed up in a tux today and looks like a penguin.

30.10.02

Procrasination seems to be getting worse, now that I've discovered the sheer joy of total relaxation and the abundance of sleep. There is a quiz tomorrow and I don't seem to have plans to study at all. Good luck to me then.

This week has already been long and it's only tuesday night.

I've been writing much less frequently here, due to a number of reasons. One being my addiction to a computer game, Pharaoh; another being my bed overtaking the number one priority when I enter this room. Sleep is good. Sleep is very good.

Winter is coming and I hate it. No more walks to Second Cup during forth period spare, no more chilling at the park across the street afterschool, no more getting out of bed comfy, no more lightweight clothes, no more long days, no nothing. Nothing but cold. Nothing but cold that is too cold for anything good. No good. I hate it. Long Live Summer!

23.10.02

Ugh, I hate going driving with my dad. It's hard to explain. It's just... bad vibe, and everyone gets upset. EEEGH. Sad that I'm gonna have to live with it for at least another year or two. Especially after I (hopefully) get my G2 in a couple weeks, my dad's not gonna care what my instructor taught me anymore. (He's very dissatisfied with her by the way) It's gonna be his way and I'm not gonna be driving his way and I'm not gonna want to drive because it's just not worth my energy. EEEEEGH. Nasty.

Not that my dad's ways are wrong, he's super careful actually. But, EEEEEGH. Bad vibe. Bad vibe. I'm off, no more thinking about this.

21.10.02

Twenty to one a.m. and I'm proud to say I'm finished studying for Chemistry. I wasn't sure if I would actually do it. Actually, I'm considering dropping the course. Why? ...That's a good thing for me to think about. There are many reasons to drop and many reasons not to. We'll see what happens. But for now, as long as I'm in the course, there's no half-assing anything. I want to get over 90% on tomorrow's quest.

Half-assing things frustrate me. You never know how far you should go. Like Ziploc's reusable/disposable plastic containers for example, are you supposed to reuse them or dispose them? How many times are you supposed to reuse it before you start to feel cheap, because you still haven't thrown it out? If you throw it out after using it just once or twice, would you be considered unenvironmentally friendly? Don't get me wrong, I like those containers. In fact, I use them, and without frustration too because it's been decided that I should reuse them until they break. The blue on the cover is nice. :)

Come to think of it, a 'quest' is a half-assed test, isn't it?

16.10.02

Omg. Ah-Yee (from 8:30), it hurts to see her cry. She's just this pure girl who's done absolutely nothing wrong. During this difficult time, she is the only one to stay strong despite her share of pain, to take care of everyone in need. Look what happens. Her two closest friends go and betray her. To add to that, they indulge in their own troubles and almost completely neglect her feelings. Yet Ah-Yee's love and support for them both stays unconditional. Just because she is capable of taking care of herself and doesn't mind sacrificing, it doesn't mean people can take advantage of it. And no matter how sorry those two are or how much they regret it, they can never make this up to Ah-Yee. Seeing her cry, I realize that she is the loneliest of them all, the one with most loss, and the most innocent.

And yes, like Ah-Yee said herself (about the betrayal): their honesty is appreciated but it's just too cruel.
The older you get, the more important time becomes--because you're running out of it. The less time you have, the more things you have to do. It's just a fact of life. However, the more things you do, the less significant they seem. What ends up happening, is that you're doing more and more increasingly petty things, in less and less time. The pressure builds because now you have even less time, and you do things even faster. The faster you do things, the more things you do, the less signficant these things seem. ...vicious cycle.

14.10.02

In less than twenty four hours later, here I am again. My work, of course, still undone. It's come to my attention that whenever I attempt to study (learn) physics, I tend to always start from the very beginning of the unit. Question #43 on page 201 has been done at least six times now, ever since it was first assigned--and most other questions, not even once. But I suppose it doesn't matter that I'm doing this, since #43 is still wrong. I ought to ask someone for help, or at least look at the correct solution that i might have copied off the board some time ago. It's almost 4pm. I wonder if I'll fail this test.

Now I wonder why I'm writing like this. I wonder if I'll keep it up. The style is to fit the packaging of this page, a so-called 'vibe' if you will, although I must admit I don't thoroughly enjoy this template. It entertains me well enough though, for sure. There must be a reason why I'm here. But writing about nothing in this Gus-Van-Sant-'Pink'-Chowse-interpretation style feels genuinely... funky.

'The wacked is wicked; the wicked gets whacked. Savage.' I came up with this while thinking of a name. Apparently it was too long for a title, so I put it in the description not knowing what to expect. It turned out pretty wicked, i enjoy! And I do believe there is some truth in it. Ha ha, this cracks me up, 'the wicked gets whacked'. I wanna whack somebody, somebody EViL... besides my evil self of course. As for 'bread crust for the birds', I honestly don't know what came over me. It was either that or 'bread crust isn't crusty.' Yes, I was thinking of the word crust, despite my servere crustiphobia. Okay this talk is beginning to crustify me.

Thank you very much to Terence again, who just popped up on ICQ to kick my ass knowing I'm on here. Damn, do I really procrasinate that much? Alright I'm off. Got to OOSH.
Wow! See that at the bottom left, "Comment"? Tech dude Te-len-see did it! Kicks ass doesn't it? So I wanna say Thank you thank you thank you Terence! You so very most gooder man.

13.10.02

So this is where procrastination from evil physics has taken me--a blogger site! This is where I'll hopefully write every once in a while, following in Darren Hayes' footsteps, keeping an online journal of some sort for the fans. Oh, that's right, Crimson Earth doesn't have fans. (Crimson Earth is an a capella duo consisting of Acca and I, if you haven't been informed already) Oh well! Who knows, maybe we will have fans someday. ...Or maybe we won't. Anyway, I hope we're all gonna enjoy this. I'll be posting again soon.

ps. Actually, if one hadn't procrastinated so much, physics wouldn't be so evil
