NYE 2008!!!

first things first, HAPPY NEW YEARS FOR 2009!!!! *hugs*
Several things to get through, seeing as it's been a month since my last post but while I count down the last few hours of 2008, I'll write about them.
New Year's Resolution: to be neat and tidy and clean my room at least once a month...and to go to the gym regularly. xD
Exciting News No. 1: My house is nearly finished!!! I now have a dark-purple-and-lilac-and cream coloured room. hence the new layout and colours of the blog
Exciting News No. 2: I didn't fail the HSC and my UAI should be enough to get into Pharmacy...unless UAI cutoff jumps up to like 98...bugger it, now I'm paranoid *grumbles*
Hopes for 2009: To get into Pharmacy, to move into my purple room, to bet and win on the Melbourne Cup, Sydney Swans premiership, to keep my New Year's Resolutions, to stay in touch with EVERYBODY, to have an 18th bday party, to go overseas (my mum wants to go to China and Hong Kong (me: HK=DISNEYLAND), my dad wants to go to America) and um...yeah, that's it so far.
Past Events:
Christmas Eve: went to Jaetea's house to make Sarby's card (hope you liked it Sarby!! sorry I couldn't go to your party =[ )
Christmas Day: Carried boxes of tiles and wooden planks around the new house- somehow strained my right arm - it kills to raise it above shoulder height =(
then went to a xmas party hosted by some of parent's friends. Knew pretty much nobody there (as everyone else at the party was related- they were all cousins or something) the people our age were either playing Elastics (me: wtf?) or playing Wii Sports with the little people. I looked like a loser and took out my mp3 and listened to the comfort of the Beatles, while having a convo with Vicky via sms (the joy of technology)- we talked about sand dunes, bogged mercedes and uni choices. then one of the oldies (okay, not the oldies as in the parents who were doing karaoke, but old as in mid to late 20s) invited me to join them. Someone had been given a SPICKS AND SPECKS board game and they were short one player (cos someone went home drunk) and thus I became the last player to join. Needless to say, my endless viewings of my recorded eps of Spicks and Specks and RockWiz paid off, as I won the whole thing =D I was dubbed "Myf Warhurst". Then went in to watch my brother be thrashed in Wii Baseball by a six year old girl half his height. Went home at about 12.30am
Boxing Day: absolutely nothing done except went to YumCha with the rellies

so yes, that's pretty much everything that has happened over Christmas. One last thing- Twilight the movie is hilarious- trust me, if you've read the book first, you will find it hilarious.

so Happy New Year Minna! see ya next year! off to newcastle/tuggerah tomorrow...oh the Joy -.-''

Post Trials Bludging

okay, I'm blogging because somebody complained (awhile ago) that I never blog *coughjennycoughcough* and now that trials are over I have been absolutely bored out of my mind- which is why I'm blogging. I don't think anybody even checks my blog anyways, but this is keeping me preoccupied.



So, I finished on Monday, and the only worthwhile thing I've achieved is that I finished Chicken Invaders in one go. I told myself that I was going to study and revise for Chem, but obviously that hasn't happened- evidently due to the fact that I will most definitely develop RSI and arthritis in my fingers considering the amount of time I've been playing games on the computer, on my ds and on my wii. Even as I type this now, my fingers are cramping up slightly. -.-



On Friday I went to the city. I got there at 10am, went to market city (smiggle, gloria jeans), walked to town hall then went to jbhifi, then to borders in pitt st (where I bought Breaking Dawn), then to Kino where I bought my beloved manga. I met up with Amanda in Kino at about 11.30, then we went back to pitt st, saw a man in a sumo suit running on a treadmill then we went to pitt st markets where I succumbed to impulse buying (star making stuff). Then we went to QVB and looked at dresses, and I went to missha cos they were having a sale on nail polish (ib bought 3 - more impulse buying). By then I had spent about $80 in 2 hours. Then we met up with Vicky, Sarah, Jenny and Lisa and got lunch then ran into Catharine. Then we went to Myer to look at dresses then me, sarby, vicky and manda went to meet Nivi to watch The Dark Knight.



The Dark Knight wasn't all that bad- it was actually quite good (but not as good as everyone seems to be hyping it up to be in my opinion) and Heath Ledger was quite intimidating and frankly psychotic. Then we all went home I ended getting back to Cabra at around 7pm and had cold pizza for dinner.

anywho, today was the USyd open day. Me, vicky, nivi, amanda, jenny and may met up at central/railway square then we caught the bus to USyd. There were some UTS people there as well, and they were wearing these awesome hats in the shape of theUTS building. We got to USyd, met up with sarby and I went to the Med Science talk with Nivi and Amanda, then me and Amanda got balloons but I ended up losing mine in the Great Hall where it kind of floated up to the ceiling. AManda lost her balloon as well because it deflated while we were on the pharmacy tour/talk. We got lunch (ripoff!!) and then we ran into Jenny, Lisa, Catharine and Weijun- as well as pretty much half the grade.

The rest of the day was spent randomly wandering around the campus, until we left at about 1pm-ish. Me and Sarah then went to Capitol where we sought our fortune in stuff toys (translation: we gambled and lost money on the giant claw machines).There was this really cute toy that Sarah was trying to get- this giant piece of toast that had a weird hand thing sticking out its back side. I ended up getting three small toys. ^.^

So, all in all, in the last 6 days, I have manage to achieve the following:
  1. Finished Chicken Invaders
  2. Finsihed Fab Fashion (computer game- think Cakemania, except you make clothes)
  3. Finished Mario Party on DS (twice)
  4. Learn 15 new French Words (Qu'est-ce que ca veut dire?= What does that mean?)
  5. Spend over a hundred dollars, mainly on impulse buying
  6. DIscovered the evils of impulse buying
  7. Watch the Dark Knight
  8. Read 500 pages of Breaking Dawn
  9. Not study at all for CHemistry
  10. Prepare myself for the imminent failure of the upcoming results from trials

So, yeah, sorry if you had to read through that. But I'm really really really bored- my brother used up all our download while I was on trials so I havent been able to go on Youtube or anything *angry* So this was just ot pass time.
