HAPPY B'DAY chris! =D we all went to extremem leisure afta ypg.. i gotta admit that at first i wasn't too sure abt going.. seeing that it's not really up my alley.. nor is it really my thing to run arnd with a laser gun shooting ppl. loll. but.. i went anyway.. and it was pretty fun! i think i'd hafta think twice abt goin agen.. (i think i'd rather shop... lolll). but still.. it was pretty gd. lol. the greens won the first.. but then the reds kicked butt (with the help of da pro/psycho army dudes).. lol. they were fully psycho eyyyy! u shoot one - u gotta deal with da whole pack. loll. but yehhhhhh. i was a happy camper. "defending" our base. hahaha. kept dying. wahaha. yeeppp. i sux.. lol. =p but annywayyyyyy.. i'm still sore now ey.. can't walk up the stairs (nor down) at skl.. hurtsss... *sob*sob* but meh. it'll pass..

ooh. meant to go for that wisdom tooth surgery thingo on wednesday. but it got pushed to friday. still dunno if i'm gonna do it by IV tho. i'm fully freaked at the fact that i won't be 100% out wen they cut into my gums. lol. i'm just scared tt i'll feel it.. or see blood. or see anything for that matter. it's pretty daunting.

thennnn. i got my p&l test bak. the one that i thought i did gd on? grrrrrrr. moral of the story for today: NEVER count the chickens b4 they hatch.. soooo stooooopiiidddddddd.. that stupid one question. was worth 8 marks. only got 2. so it totally brought down my percentage. after 15/15 in the multi choice.. then losing a couple of marks for careless errors, i ended up with a rank of 4 and a percentage of 76%. so the teach printed out the ranking sheets and stuff... turns out i'm a B so far. that's... seriously under expectations. p&l is meant to be my best subject too!! i'm so peeved. but gotta work hard for the next assessment. i hafta get over 85%. need to. grrrrrrrrrrrr. still angry at myself for that really.

ohh. i'm still workin on gettn the photos from the cny dinner. shutterfly is beinga poo bum. and webshots is all full. grrr.

annywayyy. the tsunami fundraising dinner was on tuesday.. success! heheh. the practices really did pay off.. and government house ballroom is really really nice. heheh.. i really like the lift! the food was great too. although, din really get to eat much. gotta admit i wasn't feeling great on the day.. but now that i look back on it.. it's seems really gd. lol. weird huh? but oh! the kids were wikidddd.. hehehe. they did so well! their actions were flawless! i'm so proud of them. very very talented bunch of kids.. well done guys! =D ypg was gd too. altho the back up music could have been louder.. but oh well.. we sang well... quartet went good too! even tho john din step down and i did.. so it looked a tad bit unbalanced.. but the singing was gd.. heheh. and finally.. main choir.. it rocked!! hahaha.. the aunties din make it eep at all! there was heaps of energy coming from it all.. definately a gd idea to put main choir last. hahah.. at least our voices lasted longer. hehehe...

annnywayyyyy.. skl is gd. lots of work to catch up on.. coz i missed mon and tues and a bit of wed... but hey. just for the record.. it was NOT wagging.. aiyoh. quite annoyed at that.

[mood]: |angry|depressed|

so much has happened.

i dun think i've ever felt more stressed before. i just feel like i can't cope with everything. i'm way too over committed, but there's nothing that i can cut back on. wat i don't get is how ppl be in the same year as me, and yet can be so stress-free, still have time to vege out and relax as if they don't have anything to do, while i'm here working my ass off to meet deadlines and to do everything right for EVERYTHING?? it's just NOT FAIR.

after a completely stressful first week at skl, and an even more stressful weekend, which was basically staying at church till 4 (yes. in the morning) on friday recording and practice the stoopid ass quartet song, then not being able to wake up on time on sat to study (which pissed me off completely.. and got me off to a REALLY bad start), then choir in the arvo (which actually went alright this time round..), then lioney's b'day gathering (which i REALLY shouldn't have gone to.. coz i had WAY too much stuff to be doing..), then back to church again to record the ypg song.. until bout 12, then church again on sunday morning (not being able to wake up early to study again), then children's choir (where i competely lost it at them. i felt really guilty, but they were just being freeeeeakkiinnn-ly *#!@#$!^.) thenn church choir (being way too stressed to concentrate wen i played.. buggered it up..), then feeling really numb (bcoz of my hyper-stress-levels) wen i half led ypg choir... then finally wen i got home, i worked and worked and worked and worked. then finally got everything done.. realllllllyyyyyy.. it SUX being stressed. i turn into such a bitch ey. and i really feel bad for how i am to the ppl arnd me. my patience just turns to vapour. and i lose all form of self control. i hate that feeling. REALLY.

so after all that stress.. today still din go that well. woke up late. din go to skl for half the day. went for an appt, then went to skl for the last 3 periods. anyway. the day was going okay... up until lunch time. that's wen everything started going wrong. stoopid yr 11 guys fighting us for the crappy ass bench. had mr. francis AND ms. hedley come over trying to sort it out. mr. francis's solution was to share. and ms. hedley's was for us yr 12 gals to leave. stoopid ass. anyway. so after push here and push there. and after being provoked, jas bit one of the boys. to cut it all short, the boy dobbed. and so it turned into a 'skl-conflict', and thus it was dealt like one. jas got the worst of it tho. got the S for 3 days. it's way bad hey. it should never have happened. anyway. now it's all majorly depressing. my emotions are all numb now. n i dunno wat to do nemore.

everything is slowly spinning out of control.. one by one, i'm losing my grip on the things in life... all the things i was comfortable with... i find myself getting really easily agitated and annoyed.. at everyone. including my closest friends. i really could cry. just break down. things are just going from bad to worse. and there just really seems like there's nothing that i can do. slowly, it seems that i'm gonna be the only one left. and i'll still be crying.

gtg. bye.
soo. first day of yr 12 today.. i think it's gonna turn out to be one heck of a lot more stress than wat i'm used to. i can just sorta feel the amount of stress that this year is gonna entail. hmmm.. i really dunno how i'm gonna survive. the stress of acheieving the grades that i want to achieve is just really overwhelming. hmmm. i guess i just gotta remember that i've gotta take things bit by bit..

anyway! so i felt super dumb today once i sat in discrete.. just the one thing that my teacher said realllllyy made me re-think whether i should be duin discrete.. then after doing the first exercise of the book.. man!! it's super easy! anyway, the teach was talking about how discrete is one heck of a lot easier than applic.. he said, "between the question and the answer, there's all sorts of things - relationships, formulas and much understanding - it's something that the applic students have... but you don't."! i was honestly appalled. it made me feel SO dumb u noe? like.. dumb that i chose to do discrete. mehhhhhhh.

today's quote: "inch by inch, life's a cinch. yard by yard life is hard." - jiminy cricket
okay. so feeling two extreme emotions. first happiness - bcoz safin won. then second - frustration and anger: which is dominating the first.

safin won!! knew he could do it! he really really really deserves it.. serena williams did too... bit sad that davenport lost, as it was tt hewitt lost.. but mehhhh.. the victors are well-deserving of the title... =)))

he looks super tired.. he got caned in the first set tho. hewitt got that one 6-1.. then safin came bak.. 6-3,6-4,6-4... =)) they won each game fair and square. quite funny how both of them had behaviour/conduct warnings.. tho i do wonder.. wat exactly is a point penalty? they lose a point in the game or something? hmmm.. wanna find out..

annnnnywwwaaayyyyyy..... second emotion, how is it that i'm gettin really annoyed really easily at everything?? it's so damn stupid. i'm just so frustrated abt everything. i dun get y ppl can't just do things straight. like if u can't do something then just say it? or if u don't want to, then just say that? grrrrr.. beating arnd the bush is just... time-wasting and frustrating too. grrrr. i just wanna scream. or cry. crying always works. but i'm beyond the anger of crying. this is just. STOOPID. there's no other words to describe it. it's indescribably wrong and stoopid. i wish it would just stop. i wish i could hold it against ppl for being that way. but i can't. i just wish it would blow over. i don't think i kn go to skl feeling this way. i feel too angry and frustrated. argggghh.


today's question: WHYYYY???
ai-yai-yai-yai-yai..............

annywayyyy... i just read steph's site.. u can click here to see. it just reminded me of my absolutely shocking behaviour... lol.. i can live to testify that busting for the toilets makes u do reaaaalllyy weird and sometimes not so gd things.. lol.. we were busting after the skyworks, and were shoving throught the crowd till we got to a merging section.. on the right side of steph n me there was a dude, his wife [? - based upon assumption] and him pushing a pram... i was like.. busting so bad that i was like pulling steph.. but she stopped to give way for them [being the nice one that she is ;)].. i was like... "stepphhh! now is NOT the time to be nice!" lol.. i must've sed it really loud coz the guy looked at me, kept walking in front of me and was like.. "see? it IS the time to be nice..."
i felt sooo badd!!! lol... after i sed it i meann... i din realize u noe?? sillly me.. annnywayyy.. after getting past that.. and the total embarresment of it all, we searched for a toilet everywhere.. from the city busport, to the convention centre, to some crappy hotel who wouldn't let us - to no avail.. until we went into hiltons.. hahah. we din ask. just went straight to the 'events hall' where steph din noe whether we were allowed into... lol. but i honestly din care. i HAD to go. lol. heck i RAN up a freaking hill just to get there.. lol. was hot and busting. definately not a gd combination (but yet better than being COLD and busting.. hahah.. memory relapses from tree camp... lol.. MELL!!!! hahahahah. ;))

orriteeee.. so this next pic was taken at nads place... after the skyworks and hanging a bit wif e pplz from church, went to meet up with nads n trish.. i felt super bad ey. coz i made everyone walk me to tea fusion just for me to but bt. i mean, i din MAKE them make them.. but.. they sorta just followed.. then straight after i bought (they were just standing arnd outside), i split from them to go with nads and trish... i felt so... aiyoh. just bad. although, thanx guys! u're da best!! =D

after bt, went bak to where nads n trish's butts were planted (gelare, nthbridge)... sat for quite a while.. hahaha. got nads almost hooked onto green apple green tea bt.. hehe. tea fusion makes it best ey. not so artificial. haha. annywayyy.. then nads mum n sis picked us up.. went bak to nads place just to hang for a couple of hours... lying down (trish almost sleeping).. laughing at yearbk photos (one in particular... a baby pic of J.S) hahahahah. that was a gd laugh. annywaayyyyy.. trish discovered nads boxing gloves. hahaha.. photo-time!


trish_boxing


so at bout 1 am, rach picked me n trish up.. went home.. cleaned a bit.. then crashedd... the next day [thursday] went to ikea... found a really really really nice table!! gonna go buy. hahah. it's cheap! only $125, which is real gd for a table of its size... 150cm:75cm .. it's a peanut shape one... very funky.. best thing is that it's white.. so it'll look real gd in my room. =) cn't wait. hehehe. annnywayyyyy.. looked round for rach's rugs... looked everywhere! ooh! bumped into sam at freedom lookin for a loft bed... oohhh.. i also saw a lovely fondue set.. but din look quite gd enuff to spend 20 bucks on it... the fork thingos had colours on them.. totally degraded the look. i reckon i could find the same set (just diff box) from thingz or something.. lol... for like, half the price hopefully. hahah. will keep a look out. =))

annywayyyy... cleaned a bit more on thursday after i got home... helped mum type a real long thing. took me like.. 40 mins.. it turned out to be 6 A4 pages long! my fingers were soooo sore... lol. but it totally tired me out, so i got to sleep real easy. =) even tho i got to sleep real quick, i kept waking up through the nite... so din slp so gd after all... worse, i had to get up early! meetin doogz, trish, nads and lassie in da ct at 10:30 in the morning!! loll... so had to wake up at 9 to get ready n stufff... even on the train/bus i was sleepy.. lol.

so went to the ct today.. just hung.. had lunch, looked at ball dresses.. trish found another nice one... looked reaaaallllyy elegant.. very "special" and very suitable for the ball.. more so than her other one. =p not fair. how cum she can find so many nice ones?? n i still can't find the PERFECT one? grrrrrr. i took a while in strangelove trying to come up with a solution to my ball dress dilema. hahah. i like that whole split design thing... but now i'm favouring going for a halter or a one shoulder strap thing... hmmmmmm.. but i dunno whether it would go with the black/white split thing.. coz that's the one thing that i wanna keeeeeep. it's all so troublesome!! lol.

anyywaayyy! so thennn... after strangelove, lassie had to leave, the remaining 4 of us [doogs, trish, nads n me] went to tea fusion (agen) hah. sat there for yet quite a while.. many laughs.. ooh saw alicia molik and kunetsova win the doubles (the ceremony anyway), thenn...went karaoke at utopia.. haha.. attempted to sing tension. buttttt.. we finally sang *all by myself*! wahahahaha... was hilarriousssss... heheheheh. we were fully yelling at the top of our voices... funnnyyyyyy.... oh yehh.. alan, dom n muhua stopped by... before going to get a room of their own.. chatted for a while.. thennn... we left coz doogs had to go, so trish and i went home too. nads stayed on n hung with other frenzzz...

then yeahh.. got home.. was tired.. hahah. so watched tv. i can't even remember wat i watched ey. terrrible memory!! all i remember is that i was eating grapes. lol. =p then yeahhhh.. started writing doogz frenship bk thingo.. i'm still duin it! aiyoh.. it's been like.. 5 hours... lol... =p that pretty much sums up my entire... 3 days? hahah.

it's so depressing. after meeting everyone today, we had to say "see ya on monday"... noooooo!! *falls on knees*.. skl's resuming already! nooooo...!!

meh. must go.. cyerrrzzz. *nitez*
wow..! the past few days have gone by super quick ey. i think back to the past couple of weeks, and it feels like i've just wasted my time away! i could've done sooo much stuff.. yet.. i haven't. lol.

oh! so saturday, it was the ypg outing! it was at matilda bay, nedlands.. lol.. fun fun fun! hehee.. water games, relays, bbq - basically the works. lol. worse tho, i've still got aches from it! lol. the committee was sooooo meann! made us play this watermelon eating relay game. it was sorta an adaptation of the 3-legged-race. lol. basically, the teams had to go up and down eating a watermelon which sat at the end, each time adding one team member.. lol... i swear eh, by the end of it, my team was sooo bashed. lol. we din even go back to get enoch (hu was the last one)! lol.. was heaps funny tho. jj and shelley kept stackin it. and kat was hurting real bad. i think their legs were tied too tight (oops! my bad! lol. =p) but yeahhh.. the grass was heaps prickly too. lol. annnywayyy.. so after that one, there was.. leader-egg. lol. like leaderball, just with an egg. that was okay.. our egg was indestructible.. hahah. altho nad's team broke an egg.. lol. by the end of the day, it was so hot that it looked fried on the pavement. lol. =p hmmm... after thatt... there was.. oh! dog and bone.. cept with waterbombs in the middle.. lol.. nads and i crashed heads on the last one (where it was a BUCKET of water instead of waterbombs).. loll.. it hurt!! haha.. luckily for me i dun bruise.. but my head still hurts. lol. it was quite funny coz mel, nads and i were all numbered 2.. we got called out twice on our own.. the first time, it ended up in sudden death.. i can't remember who hit who tho.. loll... the second time was the bucket one.. lol. quite funnnnyyy - and painful. hehe. anyway! the last game.. capture the flag.. lol. now that one was tiring.. so much running.. the aim of the game was basically to collect as many flags by stealing from other bases... u could throw waterbombs to make people drop the flag (if u hit them of course.. lol.).. my team was so unfortunate.. lol. our bombs kept rebounding instead of bursting!! lol.. i hit nick twice.. lol and both times they din pop! loll.. we lost miserably... hahaha... but nevertheless, it was still really fun.. hehe.. oh! i've uploaded the photos.. so u can click here to check out the pics. =D anyway. the day ended with a bbq.. gd food. hehe. oh and a piece of "general" knowledge from trish.. did u noe that one burnt chicken wing adds up to 60 cigarettes? hah. quite fun... but yeaahhh.. then there was the medal ceremony and... then the last photo-taking, then clean up!

here's a pic.. =)

ypg_outing_2005

annywayyy.. so afterwards we got to church to clean up and all.. i was practicing the piano, coz i was playing for service the next day (first time!!) i was soooooooo nervous eyyy.. lol. annywayy.. to make things worse, ken told me that the organist couldn't play.. so i would've had to play by myself.. i was super freakeedd!! lol... i mean, playing for service for the first time is bad enough, but without and organist to cover my mistakes?? that's like.. suicide?? lol. okay.. that's pretty dramatic i noe.. but still! it's bad! sooooo... we finally convinced daryl to play.. so i ended up playing organ (which.. i dun even noe how i knew how to play it...) turned out to be pretty simple tho.. just gotta hold all the notes.. lol. which is pretty hard.. but still easier than playing piano.. and one heck of a less-stress matter than playing piano by myself..! lol. so the service ran 'smoothly' (until the last hymn.. where absolutely NO ONE knew the hymn.. so the singing (which ain't too flash to begin with) was like.. super super super eep.. lol.) yeahh! thennnn... choir practice.. thank gdness my practice throughout the week paid off.. i finally could play the whole thing straight through... with MINIMAL mistakes.. hahaha. i felt sooooo accomplished ey! i was so happy! =D until it got to ypg choir.. we were abt to start, but daryl had an urgent matter to attend to.. so, instead of just standing round waiting.. we started choir.. with ME leading. grrrrrrr... i haatteee it ey. i feel so damn uncomfortable up there. i mean, playing is one thing. but telling people what to sing? and like, just leading the choir in general? gosh, i'd rather go and die. for my 3rd time, i still haven't got accustomed to it yet... and i dun think i did it very well - even tho/if ppl tell me otherwise. it's just really weird. i hate the feeling. i never want to do it again. service is one thing u noe, but like.. i dun think i can serve in a good enough manner to make serving worthwhile. i guess, i just figure that if i know that i can't serve well, then i'd better leave the job to someone else who i noe can do it right.. i dun wanna go screw the choir into the ground, i.e by teaching them the wrong rhythms, melody or something like that. tt'd just make things heaps more difficult. =( let's just say, there's gonna be a whole long way till i'll be ready to do it right.

annnywayyy. that's my.. "venting" for today. lol. i've gtg. got a tonne of housework to catch up on. catcha laterzzz.. dun forget to check out the pics either! =) ciao!
haha. so i just read trish's blog. gosh she writes things 10 times more in detail than i do.. haha. mehh... i always end up saying that things make such good 'blogging material'.. lol. and then as soon as i get home, i forget everything. lol.. gosh i wish that i had a better memory. lol. things just fly out of my mind..

anyway! so there's not much else going on these holidays.. school is due to start pretty soon. part of me wants to go back, but another part of me doesn't. i just keep thinking that i won't be able to cope with the whole pressure thing of year 12. i dunno eh. all of the big exams, then the big events and just the whole package u noe? it's all quite scary and daunting. hmmm.

okay! so the movie list for today:
a) last samurai
b) finding nemo
c) princess diaries 2
