I've been trying to not drink coffee, so i decided to drink chai lattes instead.

And then, cause i felt like it, i put a heart on it.

And then, cause i felt like it, i put it on my blog.



























(my room is messy)

anyway, some lols while i go finish ext2.

I saw this and all i thought was "NAVIGATING THE GLOBAL !@#%&#^%(*!u)!(@#"

AND OF COURSE. SOME DOCTOR WHO.

Inception dreams and tummy talks.

So last night i went to sleep at like 10pm, cause i'm so tired nowadays.

Anyway, i remember having this weird dream about some of the prefects being wizards at hogwarts, and then we worke up and were discussing having the same dream about being wizards in hogwarts, which was silly.

And then i woke up, again, and i was telling KF about my weird inception dream.

AND THEN I ACTUALLY WOKE UP.

Weirdest dream EVER.

Also today, i woke up at 6 something, and so i was ridiculously hungry at 4, having been awake for 10 hours and eating the same amount of food i would usually eat in 7.

So when i went to my cousin's, we were doing maths. Then suddenly his stomach growled, and i laughed at him. Then about 5 minutes later, mine growled too. This proceeded for about 10 minutes, when the stomachs would growl in turn.

Then, my stomach decided it wasn't being loud enough, so it decided to have a competition with it's rival loud stomach.

I think it's record was like 30 seconds, really loud.

By the end all you could hear was my cousin's laughter and my stomach.

Was quite sad.

ok. i should go back to ext2. lol.

Hot date.

I wanted to write a long response on crysbea chicken's cat call post, but that will have to wait till i am less busy.

 EL is so sweet, i think i was quite slack to her unawares today... But i thought our movie date watching The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was nice :) Although she was writing notes on her laptop and the only other people in the cinema were elderly couples, i felt that we had amazing chemistry and are meant for each other. I apologise Sweeney hates me, but i am sure it will not effect your mark at all.
(EL, you da one.)

oh, here's the trailer if you are interest.

i actually thought it was a really interesting movie, even if only old people watched it. I cried like 4 times though haha. But that's probably because i cry in all movies. Even the action ones. :P

----

 I have recently got call me maybe stuck in numerous peoples heads who all hate me now. :D

So when i saw this online i died a little.

Kind of how i feel whenever i do legal. WOW THIS TEXTBOOK IS GOOD LOL.

Speaking of funny, trivia night is on friday! But i will not allow myself to library on thursday since i need to finish ext2 lol.

going to do that now.

bye kids.

Here's some funnies for you, since i'm too lazy to write a real post.

You're in for it now...

that awkward moment...

So today i spent most of the day, instead of writing ext2 edits, playing the legend of zelda: ocarina of time.

really quite sad. though it is a revisit to my childhood :)

something hilarious today.

[bethany turns on music.]
[alysha starts to bop and move arms, 'dancing']
bethany: careful.
[alysha looks at her blankly]
alysha: wha?
bethany: you almost tripped.
alysha: ... i was dancing...
bethany: ... LOL.
alysha: i shall just leave now. and die in a hole.

BYE GUYS.

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.
