KYCK day 3

KYCK was so much fun :)

i was really challenged throughout this series, and im really happy i ended up going :)

The bus ride back was super fun :D Singing the entire way :D hehe.

went home and played tekken and black ops with my siblings :)

talking to jin makes me realise i have a lot of embarrassing stuff on the internet i have to remove.... ehehe...

Summer falls, and so does the rain. Non stop.

hehe i have officially converted a friend to the great Dr Who series. :3

He's watching all the episodes frantically haha.

Also I have barely studied this mid sem break D: where did all my time go? (i know where it went: divided equally between sleeping, cooking, dr who and manga ==")

...

I have a massive dilemma.

My house has no dryer. But i washed my clothes 3 days ago, but i didn't take it down from the clothesline.

Now they're sitting in the rain.

What should i do?!? If i leave it out for too long they'll go mouldy, but if i take it down i have no where to put it. *cries*

Ah dilemma!!

...

Cooking for the household is kinda fun. I'll start be deciding what to make, and then about 15 minutes in (after I've done all the prep and the smell of food starts floating) the girls will come in and watch haha.

Also, we talk about retarded things and sing songs :)

I've realised it's a very 'girls' house. Like, we leave stuff lying around we can't leave lying around if there were guys here, but because we're all girls no one cares. ^^

...

I said i would steal it, and so i did.

WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WHIMEY MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---
Figured I might as well do a survey, since it's not much on this post lol

1: What eye color do you find sexiest?
Green? Or like those mix colours of blue/green

2: White, milk, dark chocolate or mocha?
Just give me actual coffee! Erm probably just normal milk chocolate haha. 

3: If you could get a Sharpie tattoo on your back, what would it be?
Erm probably a bird of some kind? Not sure lol. Or a cool sentence. Like "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there to hear it you can bet I bought the vinyl HAHAHAHA" 

4: Did you grow up in a small or big town? Did you like it?
"Grew up in a small town...." - Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Don't know why that's the first thing that came to my head. Erm big town? Technically we're all in the Sydney area.

5: Your favorite adult as a child? (and not your parents, if they were your favorite)
Erm my grandma? haha. If not counting family, I guess my favourite adult as a little kid was my family friend's mum. We call her Aunty K. She's cool.

6: What kind of smoothie sounds really good right now?
Boost's Green Tea Mango Mantra. Mhmmmmm.  

7: Most embarrassing moment from your elementary school years?
Hrm probably when I climbed a tree to pick cicada shells and my skirt ripped. I had to wear the jumper tied around my waist for the rest of the day, even though it was really cold lol.

8: Most embarrassing moment from your middle school years?
Middle school is yr7-9 right? Erm have to say it was when I was walking out of a train and almost fell into the gap, so i grabbed this really skinny asian guy from Normo next to me to stop me from falling in. He nearly did a flip from the sudden movement. I felt really bad afterwards... awks.

9: Most embarrassing moment from your high school years?
ah 10-12. lesse, I think it might have been when I was caught in the band lockers and someone walked in. awks.  

10: Pirates or ninjas? Why?
I think ninjas, because ninjas are ninjas. They can jump around through trees and stuff. It's cool. Kunoichi powers! I don't think they let women even be pirates. Ninjas seem more of a gender equal skill group.

11: Have you ever climbed a tree more than twenty feet off the ground?
20ft = 6m. So no. The highest tree I went up was like 3metres.  

12: Did you like swinging as a child? Do you still get excited when you see a swing set?
Yes, and hell yes. I love swings :3

13: If you could have any pet in the world, illegal or not, what would you get?

Erm, if I could have any pet, I'd like an elephant. Then I could ride it. Or a white tiger. I like tigers.

14: What's your most favorite part of your body?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..... I don't really have one. Erm, my neck? lol. It's pretty long, I guess. My sister nicknamed me giraffe because of it. 

  
15: What's your most favorite part of your personality?
Erm well, I think I'm fairly laid back. I like being laid back? (This is a weird question)

16: Madonna or Lady Gaga? Neither? Both? Who cares?
Who cares.

17: Have you ever watched the Superbowl all the way through?
The only reason I know what the Superbowl is, is due to How I Met Your Mother.  

18: Have you ever watched any major sporting event drunk?
I have never gotten drunk. And I've never watched any major sporting event. The two together is slightly ridiculous for me.  

19: What's the most delicious food you've ever eaten in your life?
That is a good question. To which I answer, I have no idea. It's hard to decide with food. I like food too much. Though it might be that macaroon I bought in Paris.  

20: Margarine or butter? Which did you grow up with?
Butter. I grew up with butter as well.  

21: Whole, skim, 1%, or 2% milk? (Did you know they make 1 1/2% milk?)
I don't event know what 1% milk is. Or 2% for that matter. Is that like mostly water? I dunno. We drink lite.
  
22: Which continents have you been on?
Australian, North America, Europe.   

23: Do you get motion sickness? Any horror stories?
Not really, I can get a bit dizzy in the car if I'm not feeling well that day, but other than that nope.
And I hate horror stories. 

24: Backpacks or satchels?
Both? My dream bag is a satchel shaped backpack.

Kind of like this:
 

25: Would you wear a rainbow jacket? A neon yellow sweater? Checkered pants?
No, Maybe, HELL YES.  

26: What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
I loved all disney cartoons. I think my absolute favourite is Kim Possible. :) 

27: If you had to have a cow or a pig, which would you take? Why?
Cow, cause I like milk. haha.  

28: If you had to look at one city skyline for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Erm New York? Or Kyoto. For very different reasons. But probably New York.  

29: Longest plane ride you've ever been on?
France to Korea. 12 hours. 1 hour break. Korea to Australia. 11 hours.
That was exhausting. 

30: The latest you've ever slept?
I've done all nighters. So I think it would be like 12am the following day. 

31: Would you buy a sweater covered in kitten pictures? Would you wear it if someone gave it you for free?
Probably wouldn't buy it. I might wear it at home if it was warm.  

32: Do you pick at scabs?
Yes. It's a huge annoyance for my mum.

33: Favorite kind of bean? Kidney? Black? Pinto?
Probably Soybean? lol. But if you want a white bean I like butterbeans and chickpeas.

Not that far. Maybe 2 meters, 2.5 if i'm lucky.

erm, about 32% says France, 28% Japan, 15% England, 15% America.
Probably France.  

36: Have you ever eaten Ethiopian food? Vietnamese? Korean? Nepalese? How was it?
Nope, Yes, Yes, Nope. I love Viet and Korean food! So yummy :3
  
37: Small, liberal arts school or public university? Why?
Liberal Arts at a Public University. Whoot. Why? Cause it's cheaper.  

38: A relationship with love or one with sex?
Wouldn't there be both? But sex without love is wrong, so has to be love.   

39: Do you eat enough vegetables?
Yes. My mum makes sure of that.

40: Do you like horror movies? How about thrillers?
Hell no, no way.  

41: Would you scratch a crotch itch in public?
Nope. Go to a bathroom.

42: Do you swear in front of your parents?
Nope.  

43: Coolest thing you've ever been for Halloween?
I've only done Halloween once, and that was for Baulko. I was a weird goth person lol. (I just wanted to wear that shirt. It's been sitting in my closet waiting for an opportunity to be worn, and it finally came.)  

44: If you could change your natural hair color, would you? To what?
Yes, to dark dark dark midnight blue, so dark it looks black but has flashes of blue. Or burgandy.

45: Do you want to get married? Have kids?
Eventually? But that's so far away. I don't need to worry about it.  

46: Do you use a reusable water bottle? If not, you should.
Yes. :p  

47: City or nature person?
City! I like my supermarkets and stoves and blankets lol.  

48: Have you ever used something other than "makeup" as makeup? (Like paint? Markers?)
Erm i used highlighters to pain my nails. Does that count.
  
49: Can you walk well in high heels? Even if you're a guy?
Not really very well, I'm quite awkward.  

50: Post 5 awesome things about yourself. BRAG AWAY!
erm, I don't really know. I'm reluctant to say anything because people might be like "no, you suck at that" and then I'll be all sad lol.

So NO.

2,691 words right now. Hopefully will get to 3,500 by the end of the night :p

How are all your nanos? (if you are doing it lol) if not, how are all your exams/freedom from exams?

NANO!

OMG NANO STARTS SOON.

I'm actually reaaaaaaaaaallly excited, and very much considering writing at 12:00 instead of studying for legal.

And then I hear MH saying "take Legal as seriously as you take adv!" and I think I shouldn't.

BUT I WANT TO!

I've managed to find some people by stalking around. What a creeper.

I'm so excited gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think it's probably because I never tried to do it properly, so now I'm really really really excited.

Also, did you see that crazy woman who nano-ed for every month of the year? That's dedication! Although she said she's so excited for this month because it feels like the real thing.

I just realised something ridiculous.

Nano is more than 5 times longer than ext2.

I took a whole year to finish ext2.

whut.

kahahahahahahahahahaha

oh wow.

Just tyed up my synopsis. It's kinda lame and clearly highly ambigous now that I see it actually typed up.

For the previous nano-ers, do you know how to use the word count thing?
----

 Just then, my sister asked me what I wanna do after legal.

I was like "nano."

She then informed my parents wanted to celebrate by going out to dinner.

I was like "i gotta nano."

She then hit me.

Love dat family relationship.

---

hehe restorative justice is white people circle sentencing. :P

I should study.

I downloaded this ep by the Baron Sisters, found them on noisetrade, which is a free music site that's ENTIRELY LEGAL lol. It's mainly for not well known artists trying to get their albums out. I've actually found heaps of people i really liked there.

Anyway The Baron sisters are really cute, they kinda remind me of me and my sister. haha.

I shall leave you to your cramming/freedom for you lucky children.

Memory lane

We found a bunch of our old home videos the other day, ones from when I was just a baby and older, like 6 and so.

They made me think about when I was much. much younger. and all these werid random memories i have of when I was just a kid. Isn't it weird how some things can really stand out and others just sort of fade into history? There are some moments I can recall with total clarity and and others I can't remember at all, even when people tell me about it. I'm just like "no, I swear that never happenned to me, you must have the wrong person."

Surprisingly there were some moments that no one in our family had seen before, because we left the camera on the tripod and were doing other things. Like there was this video where my brother was just a baby, and he was trying to break out. My mum catches him, and she pushes the fence back in place and moves a chair on wheels to secure it. Suddenly, the keyboard on the chair falls and the keys come off, so she rushes over to pick it up. And then my brother, while she's picking the keys and putting them back together, pushes the chair and pulls the gate. He then looks at my mum, makes a noise, and realises she isn't turning around. He squeezes past the gate and makes a run for freedom. Luckily my mum notices and jumps the fence, grabs him and then stands in front of the gate for the rest of the day.

My brother is really cheeky.

There also was this video of my kindy christmas performance. I distinctly recall i was asked by my teacher to play Mary, so I was the only kid in the grade to get a solo.

I think I got the performing bug since then :p

But it was a really big moment, when she asked me. I still remember it haha.

Do you guys have any significant moments from your childhood you can really distinctly remember? Most of mine are weird moments, like when i was 4 and i told my mum i really liked celery when i saw it at the shops, so she bought it for me and i hated it. haha.
---

We got a bunch of vinyl records the other day, and my dad bought a vinyl/cassette to mp3 convertor online for $100. It's really cool, we've been playing the records all day. :) Currently my sister is in love with Andy Williams. I have to say, his voice is super seductive. The lyrics are all really beautiful :)You might have heard of him anyway. Moon River is his most famous song, but i personally love "It might as well be spring." But i can't find it on the internet at all.

Which is slightly annoying.

So I can only link Moon River, which is nice, but "It might as well be spring" is beautiful.

Hrm I can find another version though. But his version is the best.

(just searched youtube and couldn't find another male singer version. Female version is nice, but it doesn't have the same 'melt' atmosphere. There is this modern jazz version i found here, which is almost as good, in a completely different way. It starts at about 1 minute in.)

I think i love the lyrics the most.

We actually went out and bought his "greatest all times hits" at JB on sunday when we went shopping, just because it was on sale. We were listening to it in the car.


Listening to them, I really kind of wish I was born in the 1950s, so I could be a teen in the 1960s. :)

I was born in the wrong generation.

Then I could be one of those crazy 60's rockers in the a-line dresses doing crazy twist dances like in those Cliff Richard and Elvis movies I watched as a kid.


---

Do you own a bike? – Yes, although i don't ride it much. haha.

Ok.

Bye guys!

Good luck for 3u tomorrow (if you do it)

Oh DM, my nano is just alyshamah. Also, i'm super jealous of your coffee machine! We should totally have a write in at your house and i can use it :p

November begins in two days!

prefect assissant advert

Dunno if you go to Baulko or not, but if you do, this is the reason why you should buy me as your Prefect Assisstant at the auction! (lol this is the full version that got cut down.)

Btw the fulll video of everyone (dudes, buy me, i'm way cooler)  is here.

LOOK NO DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES!!!!!!!!

Song star moment

So i'm going crazy with ext2 english.

anywhere, here's an awesome, relaxing song to listen to if you feel crazy.

I kind of love it, am listening to on repeat now.

Who knows, i might just cover it :p

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!
