Just felt so bludgy...

Felt so bludgy today. Barely did anywork. Watched This Means War (Which i really loved, i personally would have made a different choice, but then again, i do have a sort of bias.)

Also I have recently fallen in love with this british singer who does a duet with this rapper who's also british. I think it's the only rap i'll be willing to listen to. Might be because he's so sweet and his accent is delicious.

The singer's name is Sid Bowden, and the rapper's name is Joe Turone.

I think I love them. They're beautiful. :)

This song is the first one i listened to, i nearly cried, immediately followed them and liked the facebook page.

I'm gone. New favourite non-record-holding band. :D

But the song was so beautiful, really, makes me want to cover it. :)

Ever woken up late? I do every day! (Guess that's not really late anymore, if its everyday haha.)

Anyway, here's how to manage that awful bed head regardless of how you appear.

---

Also my Church was on masterchef as the guest audience in the Yum Cha challenge.

It was kinda funny hearing all the white people who were interviewed saying it was really tasty because my mum kept screaming "NO IT WASN'T IT WAS SO BAD!"

But yeah, my sister was on alot, she got a least a minute worth of filming? So cool. :)

And the entire episode my family kept standing up and screaming "OMG IT'S ________!!! LOOK LOOK THERE BEHIND THE GWEILO!!!!" in canto haha.

and my mum kept calling up my grandma and screaming in chinese "did you see my daughter? My daughter was on television! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME I TOLD YOU TO WATCH IT!!!"

haha.

Apparently my grandma was cooking instead. :) She doesn't like Masterchef, she thinks its silly.

---

My mum says the coolest things. We were talking about gowgee because i really wanted soup noodles, and then we were talking about lord of the rings and my mum was like "yea, frodo and sam gowgee."

i nearly died laughing.

Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gowgee. (Y)

We ended up discussing an entire line of Lord of the Rings yumcha, with silly names that made no sense, because the only one that had anything remotely to do with it was SAMWISE GOWGEE.

---

Also, Tri-schools is coming! Am excite. :)

B-A-U-L-K-O YEAH!

School today was cool.

Double free today. Studied English in the grass. I think there's nothing nicer than just sitting in the grass and reading, feeling the sun and the breeze. The sun is so nice. I guess vitamin D is good for you after all, so it's all right. As long I don't burn. I burn quite easily.

I like the smell of grass. Grass smells nice. Especially grass that's been slightly crushed from my elbow as I lean on it. Although commenting on the nice smell of grass makes me think of Tangled when Rapunzel when she gets out of her tower for the first time.

"just smell the grass, the dirt, just liked I dreamed they'd be..."

I love disney :D

I really am happy we only have to do two speeches for essay. Now I can do Atwood and Suu Kyi's speeches without having to find another link with another speech. :) love their speeches, such powerful speeches on women. Although Atwoods is the best. :D

But sedat isn't too bad. I admire his push for peace. I could relate that and Suu Kyi.

... The problem I find with English essays is that i have too much to wirte and I have nowhere to start.

---

So in Drama we had to hand in a 300+ word piece about why we want to perform the piece we want to perform. 

Basically you have to crap about stuff.

Just thought I'd show you what I wrote and what I mean.  

-----

Student: Alysha Mah

Individual project type: Monologue

Title of project: Edith Piaf from Songs for Nobodies

1.      Whyyou choose this particular project?

On Sheet Answer: I chose to perform a monologue because I really like performing. I find that performing allows me to express personal thoughts and emotions. Performing is alsoa great outlet for my creativity and stress, a real benefit to any HSC student. 

I took along time to decide on any particular piece, as I was struggling to find a piece I really identified with. When I went to watch Songs for nobodies I was really moved by the Piaf section, as I havealways held a great admiration for Piaf as a vocalist. 

The monologueI chose is particularly unique as it involves singing as part of the performance.I have a great love for musical performance. Thus I felt that by finding apiece that combines both dramatic and musical performance was something that I greatly desired to perform.

What I was actually thinking: Originally, I wanted to not perfom at all. I wanted to send in written work on a costume design concept. I was really excited about it. But I couldn’t get my costume design concept right. I kept getting shut down. Then I got so fed up with it I burnt it all and went to do monologue. I chose a monologue with song in it because I would stand out. That’s it.

2.      Whatare your strengths in that field?

On Sheet Answer: In terms of the musical aspect of my individual project, I have studied music ever since I was six years old. I have performed music in concerts, including in bands, piano recitals, and vocal performances since I was seven. In terms of vocal performances, I also have experience in the area, composing my own pieces and performing at school concerts, church services, and gigs. I have also won singing competitions. 

In terms ofthe monologue itself, I have a reasonable ability to maintain a British accent,which is what is called for in the monologue. It also requires transformational acting, which I have experience in due to previous performances.

What i was actually thinking: I think I can sing. Gigs basically mean performing at relative's weddings and birthday parties. Singing competition was in 4th grade where i came first in a talent contest. And the British accent is the only one I can maintain for long enough, other than “stupid bitchy American girl” accent. 

3.      Howyou are preparing that project?

On Sheet Answer:I am preparing for the project by watching English television shows to studydifferent English accents. I am also going to a vocal tutor to attempt to trainmy voice as to properly imitate Edith Piaf’s singing style.

What I was actually thinking: LOL WHAT PREPARATION? I've read the script once, talked to a friend who teaches music who randomly meets up with at church, and watch a lot of Doctor Who. 

DOCTOR WHO IS TEH GREATEST!!!!!

GET IT? CAUSE THE DOCTOR HAS TWO HEARTS???? HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Quote of the day

My brother: "You know an advantage of having two older sisters? I know what girls like."

My brother the lady killer.

packed weekend

Relay for life and Red shield appeal door knocking. :D

Although i didn't stay for the whole of relay for life, the time i was there was really cool.

I hope i can do the whole 24 hours next year.

I wonder i KF told people about my fangirl moment.

Door knocking made me think about how stingy some people can be. I made eye contact with this guy as he was hanging up his clothes and he went back inside his house. I thought he was going to meet me at the front door, so i went to the door step to meet him.

And he never came out.

Really, how stingy can you be?

Also i passed by a hoarders house today. It was weird. There was stuff everywhere, and it smelled funny. WH (the troll in my math class. male.) was reluctant to approach. I was too tbh.

anyway here's a meme i couldn't resist about superheroes.

Who's your favourite?
Male Against Male

1. Conan or Superman?
Superman

2. Spiderman or Silver Surfer?
Spiderman, spiderman, he can swing, from a web, look out!!!!!! here comes spiderman!

3. Captain America or Batman?
OOOOOOH hard choice. 
Movie wise, Captain America was hot. Batman was only good cause of The Joker. But since we're talking comic book, I have to choose The Bat.

4. Wolverine or Cyclops?
Wolverine

5. Daredevil or The Phantom?
Daredevil. He's a blind lawyer. (Y)

6. Hellboy or Hulk?
Hulk

7. The Flash or Green Lantern?
If we're talking silver age, i prefer The Flash. Barry Allen is nicer than Hal Jordon. But out of all of the Flashes and Lanterns, John Stewart, Green Lantern is my choice.

8. The Punisher or Blade?
Blade. Obviously.

9. Zorro or Thor?
Thor. :3 that hunk of Norse god. Zorro has no chance against mjolnir.

10. Blade or Spawn?
Blade. Spawn is interesting. But Blade is nuts.

Female Against Female

1. Batgirl or Supergirl?
Supergirl

2. Elektra or Catwoman?
Catwoman.

3. Wonder Woman or Phoenix (Jean Grey)?
Phoenix. Unbeatable. I love Jean Grey. She held the whole world of the X men in her hand. Whoever possesses Jean is a winner. Wonder Woman can't do that much...

4. She-Hulk or She-Ra?
She-Hulk. Isn't She-Ra some kind of Barbie character?

5. Ultra-Violet or Wildstorm?
Ultra-Violet

6. Wonder Woman or Elektra?
Electra. I respect her. Even though she's a villain, she had a hard life and is making the most of what she has. Besides, she only takes on mercenary cases she agrees with. She doesn't just do any random case. She has morals (sort of.) if you read her comic and not just her appearances in other comics then your opinion of her gets better. Diana (Wonder Woman) was an Amazonian Princess who pretty much got whatever she wanted, until she decided to compete (though the queen, her mother, forbade her) to win the title of Wonderr Woman and be the ambassador of the Amazons to the rest of the world.

7. Leeloo or Buffy?
Buffy would win in a fight and down for pure hard coreness, but Leelo, the fifth element, is unforgettable. She's a unique character who gave her life up for earth.

8. Queen of Swords or Xena?
Xena

9. Red Sonja or Nikita?
Red Sonja

10. Storm or Wonder Woman?
STORM IS THE BEST. SHE HAS SILVER HAIR AND IS BLACK AND CAN CONTROL WEATHER. AND FLIES. although she appears pretty useless in the movie. BUT IN THE COMICS SHE'S AMAZING.

Female Against Male

1. Buffy or Blade?
Blade

2. She-Hulk or Hellboy?
She hulk

3. Red Sonja or Conan?
Red sonja. I HATE CONAN.

4. Supergirl or Superman?
Superman would win due to sheer power. But i prefer supergirl. (call me a feminist, whatever.)

5. Xena or Spiderman?
SPIDERMAN. He could just web her sword up and she's gone.

6. UltraViolet or The Punisher?
Ultra-Violet

7. Queen of Swords or Zorro?
Queen of swords. She is like an angrier, more vengeful, less whiny, female ass kicking zorro.

8. Catwoman or Cyclops?
Catwoman. Cyclops only has his lazer eyes that can't do much since he doesn't believe in killing people. Catwoman is sexbomb thief acrobat crazy awesome hot burglar that can fight Batman. Whcih means she's cool.

9. Nikita or Batman?
Batman. Nikita is lame compared to Batman with his ultra gadgets and endless monies AND ALFRED.

10. Phoenix or Silver Surfer?
PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALSO no post is complete without some Doctor Who.

Saw this online and laughed. Because I do. :D 

Apparently it's a collection of short stories. Now I really want it. :O

On another note, hi to all ruse nerds who may be reading this. I love you guys.

At times like this I think of how I rant a lot about geeky stuff. Like that time, when I was at KF's house, and he was like "Alysha, you're such a geek." And I was like "No I'm... Yes. Yes I am." 

I just wanted to talk about Rory Williams, as currently in who culture he seems to hold a position of undefeatable bad assery. And he'll be leaving this season. :(

RORY WILLIAMS IS THE NEW CHUCK NORRIS JOKES

   CLOSING NOW.

i love doctor who :3

woof.

So I've been in bed sick for the past few days. I'll be back at school tomorrow. But I feel bad because I missed my ext1 tutorial work. Shame on you Alysha.

On Friday we went to the Ruse prefect afternoon tea thing, which was really cool. :) They did an amazing job of organising everything. Was pretty cool. Congrats to the Ruse prefects for the organising that amazing stuff.

OH AND I GOT MY PHONE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I think it was Miss Sweeney. She's always been a hero to me, such a passionate and brilliant teacher of english, but now I think she's actually a hero.

---

Started cram reading The Mosquito Coast while in bed sick, so I've been thinking a lot about it. It's really way more of an interesting ext1 text than The Island in my opinion. You can fight me if you want.

But really, the personality of Allie, I dunno whether he annoys me or inspires me.

He's stubborn, a hard worker, MASSIVELY opinionated, cynical, smart, talks well, and positively full of himself.

I guess he's a bit like me, which says a lot.

But then again, he hates religion, is massively close minded, willing to kill for his cause, and really show-offy to the point of insufferablilty.

I really hope I'm not like that.

Maybe I am and I refuse to see it.

Haha.

At any rate, back to school tomorrow.

---

Oh.

Also, I FINALLY DROPPED CHEM!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO HAPPY. IT'S GONE! GONE!!! NO MORE CHEM! 11 UNITS!

I honestly feel so much freer. AND SO EXCITED ABOUT FREE PERIODS.

They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I love free periods. They're like cats. Or warm chocoate chip cookies. Or hugs from miss mac. Or reading Harry Potter. Or watching Disney Movies. Or love letters from anons. Not that I've had many of those. Or any of those. But that's what I'd imagine they'd feel like. Although fuzzy wuzzys/gradelove is kinda similar.

Actually, I'm imagining what free periods will feel like. I haven't exactly had one yet.

I guess thinking of free periods is like all of the above.

I look forward to free periods. Although all I probably will be doing is sleeping throughout. Or working on english. Or math. Or talking. Or eating. haha.

---

My mum is really starting to not want me to go to Relay for Life. I dunno how to convince her otherwise. I'm worried. I really wanted to go.

---



Also, shout out to Shelley. I don't think you're a creepy person at all. In fact, I think you're quite awesome. Thank you for taking time out of your precious study time to bother reading this. haha.

Here's some Doctor Who just for you.

This is pretty much how I've been, sick at home.

BYE GUYS.

I lost my phone.

I dunno what happenned. Looking back at my steps the last place i was 100% sure i had it was math class.

I'm in deep trauma, i'm really scared that someone took it.

But i don't want to accuse people.

Sigh.

I miss my phone

Day one of bruise progression.

So today in drama I rolled off JM incorrectly and landed on my knee. (feels like skyrim. "I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow [injury] to the knee.")

It's starting to bruise quite beautifully. It's currently a pale purple bluey green. I'll see what colour it turns into when it starts to form a larger bruise.

Here's a photo, if you can see anything.

What colour do you actually call bruise colour? Or is it just bruise colour? It's actually quite a pretty colour. 

Today I went to KF's house to make oreo cheesecake. But he didn't have half the baking equipment i expected and use at home, so I pretty much used experience to guesstimate how much was 50g icing sugar and fractions in cartons to assume how much was mls and such. And that is how a 15minute prep cake turned into like 3 hour prep cake. lol. So any LTEC members reading, I apologise if the cakes tastes/tasted bad. 

And then after went to library to study until my dad could pick me up. And I drank Korean canned coffee, because I was really tired and I've always wanted to try canned coffee. It actually doesn't taste too bad. Plan on bringing it to next camp I go to, so probably yr12 camp coming up, because I always need a little pick me up after camp nights lol. And it only cost $1.20! Though that might be because I spoke in Korean lol.

Looks like this. The side says "don't worry, be happy." Which made me feel like singing Guy Sebastian's song :)

And I was hungry so bought  $1 turkish bread from the outdoor display at the Epping kebab place. The store keeper was so nice, he saw me walking down past the window and he smiled at me, and when I stopped looking at the break he came out of the counter and was like "how was your day at school?" and when i asked him if it was hard, he was like "no! no! Very fresh, very soft, it'll heat it up for you!" and he put it in the microwave and smiled and I told him he didn't have to and he was like "course, it's my job, always do the best for you. :)"

He's such a nice guy, I went to buy chips there with my sister once, and we were so indecisive about using tomato sauce (she hates it, i love it) or chicken salt (i'm neutral, she loves it) so that he gave us the bottle and the shaker and a plate of chips and sat us down and told us to do whatever we want. And he gave us HEAPS of chips too. Such a nice guy.

ISN'T MY SISTER SO PRETTY????

Also English Extension excursion is on the same day as Doorknock appeal, which is the day after Relay for Life (NO SLEEP ACCORDING TO CAPITAIN NA) so dunno what to do for that lol.

Oh. closing off with some Whovian fangirling.

Although they don't have Matt Smith, the 11th doctor, they have 1-8 doctors from the original tv series, the 3 special edition doctors from the comic book series (argh never read, only heard of.), and the 2 doctors from the lastest series. Such cool art.

There is yet to be a red headed doctor.


Also, here Rowan Atkinson is Doctor Who. It was a bloody good mini special, i was rolling around laughing. And it has young Hugh Grant and young Jim Broadbent (Slughorn in HP) starring as the Doctor as well as Mr Bean. And young Jonathan Pryce (Weatherby Swann in Pirates) plays the Master.

It pokes fun at Doctor Who, but it's so funny i don't mind. :)
