Shoutouts to the Grandparents
I finished the entire season of the OC in a week. And I told myself I would spread it out. You know, like have little OC treats every week. Sigh.
Well, at least I got it out of my system. Now I get to study without Seth's voice in the back of my mind.
Anyway.
So what have I been up to?
Oh right. Nothing. I don't even know why I blog.
Kathy Ly, on the other hand, has her boy problems. Yet again. And guess who's on the receiving end?
Dear oh dear, that girl is a boy magnet.
Hmm. I watched Chocolat. It was a good movie, but not as good as I expected it to be. Well, I guess it helped me find my inner desire - to own a Chocolaterie and eat chocolate all day and make out with a pirate. No, seriously.
Well I had tutor today. I thought I wasn't gonna make it because my parents were a bit late in coming home from their shopping. They bought new beds and mattresses for them and my sister. They promised to buy me one later.
Yeah, so it was about 4:13 and tutor starts at 4:15. And I was worried because Dad never forgets when I have tutor. I thought they were in a car accident or something (I know right, they value my education so highly that I believe that there is a higher probability of them getting into a serious accident than simply forgetting). So I called Dad's mobile and there wasn't any answer. I told my grandma about it and I suggested me walking to tutor (it isn't that far away) and, well, the conversation went down like this;
Grandma: Are you going to school tonight?
Me: Yes, I'm supposed to be there now.
Grandma: Where's your Dad?
Me: I don't know.
Grandma: My Gosh! You poor child. Don't they know you have class? What are you going to do?
Me: I think I might just walk to tutor.
Grandma: My Gosh, no! You know how far tutor is away from here? Once you get there, you won't even have the energy to learn! Here, I'll call your Aunty (Kathy's mum) and she'll drive you!
Me: But Kathy lives right next to tutor. It's okay Grandma, I'll walk.
Grandpa: Listen to your Grandma!
Dad came home just when I opened the door. I love my Grandma and Grandpa. Ah, they're so cute. My Grandpa's deaf in one ear so my Grandma kinda gets annoyed when he doesn't hear her. Like, she'll be making him lunch or something and she'd scream for him to go downstairs to eat it, but he wouldn't hear. And then she'd be all cranky when she comes upstairs to get him. She'd be yelling at him and he'd take it, and at the end he'd be like "ha, what d'you say?" Then she'd threaten to take away his lunch and then he'd say that he was only joking.
Haha, that must've been kinda boring to read. I just love them so much.

The Seth, Summer and Helene love triangle
Yeah, I bought Season 2 of the OC. I'm sorry Chemistry, I know I've been putting you off quite a bit lately. But that's only because Ryan and Marissa keep taking my attention away from you. And damn Seth Cohen. Why does he have to be so...Seth Cohen?
Argh, I know. How teenage girl of me to be obsessed. But it's just one of those shows. What Dawson's Creek was to the 90's, the OC is to the early 2000's (Gossip Girl seems to be defining the new era). Ah, I stayed up till 2 last night because I said that I would "not stop watching until Seth and Summer got back together". It took about 4 episodes of suspenseful goodness until the result came. And I think it was worth it. Well, for a start, I can eat again.
So I haven't done much in my holidays. I went shopping with Kathy the other day. We went to Parramatta on the day of the Nader's robbery. We're alright, if you were asking. Haha, yeah, well Kathy bought some boots and I bought little bits and pieces. Nothing too interesting.
Umm yeah, should start on the study. I've been talking to other people and I feel pretty behind. I'll blog more later.

Happy Easter ya'll.
Happy Easter. I hope all of you guys got as many easter eggs as I got hot pot.
The Asia way of celebrating Easter.
Haha, nah, it was actually just a thing that we had for my dad's side of the family that I can't really explain in English. Tre exclusive for the v to the i to the e to the t to the namese.
So yeah, haven't been up to much lately. Ever since holidays started, I've just been cruising. Done a bit of homework, but not much. Just hanging out and attending tutor classes. I think I've turned into a youtube junkie. Seriously, check this video out; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUbjwIimy5M
cracks me up EVERY time, without fail.
Hmm, so yeah, went to Kathy's house on Saturday to attend that tre exclusive family meeting thingo. Did not do much. There are some photos on Kathy's blog of me and my little niece Annabell. I look like I got slapped in the face with a tuna fish though.
Ooo, linkage - kathy's blog; http://life-as-a-ly.blogspot.com
yeah i typed that out from memory so sorry if it doesn't work.
Umm, yeah. Planning to go shopping on Wednesday. It will be the first time in a long while. Might buy some clothes. Maybe force Kathy to watch Dragon Ball Evolution with me. I so want to see that movie. Hmm...yeah, I also want to grab a few books. Feeling a bit teenage girly today so I might buy some romance novels (though, not twilight. I don't know, I just don't like that sort of stuff. When the twilight craze first started and everybody was like, "OMG, LIKE, EDWARD CULLEN FTW," and I asked, "who's Edward Cullen?" about 10 girls, all at once, gave me the evil eye.)
Hmm yeah. Oh and on the subject of youtube, Kathy introduced me to Natalie Tran or, in the world of youtube, 'communitychannel'. I reckon she's hilarious. Check her up the next time you're youtubing. I think she's funnier than happyslip, if you're familiar with the youtube.
Haha, yeah, so I don't really have anything to say about my life. It's not like I have this overly dramatic, "oh my god, i love him, he used to love me but now he likes her" bold and the beautiful sort of love life. The HSC is my boyfriend. It's official. I even joined the facebook group. That's right, I kiss and tell.
No crazy parties. No drunkeness and passing out (I've never been drunk in my entire life, does that surprise you? I mean, I do seem pretty hardcore, aye?) Haha, and not that much getting into trouble. I haven't even gotten my license yet (don't give me that patronising look).
Oh yes, on the subject of patronising looks. I really dislike people who patronise others. Who patronise me, to be precise. I mean, even if they're good at what they do, they don't have to make it clear to absolutely everybody. I extremely dislike how people comment on your life and pick out little things about it and go "Oh, I'm better at this than you. I'm much more knowledgeable, here, I'll give you some advice, pro bono." Who criticise you for things that you really didn't think were that important, but are what they think are important as those things are what makes them better than you. I mean, it's hard to explain. Well, I try to help people. Okay, I sound like a complete up-myself jackass, but I don't go around putting others down for not knowing how to do what I do. And when I'm helping them out, I don't show off what I have. You know what I mean? Argh, too hard to explain. Oh, and those people who judge you without even knowing you. It's like, "oh, you're a nerd. you study all the time. I guess you don't have any friends or participate in any extra-curricular activities." (I wonder who this 'nerd' is?) and think they're better than you because of that. Because they're more 'social' and apparently will have a 'brighter future' because of it. I know, you're probably picturing me as some asian girl with framed glasses being all emo about everything. Sigh. At least not that many people read this blog. Please don't judge me. I hate being judged.
It's late at night. I have to get my sleep, or I look like the Grinch in the morning.
Night-o's.

She teases me for not being able to take a pretty picture. I showed her.
Oh hey you can add videos to this thing.
So yeah, that pretty much outlines my everyday life living at home with my sister.
So what else has been happening in my life I hear you ask. Well, nothing spesh, not planning anything big in the holidays. Maybe a bit of chillaxing, a bit of baking (an activity which carries more significance than you think) and mathematics. Ooo there's this line from Common's song, 'universal mind control' where he says, 'charismatic, Asiatic, I hustle for mathetmatics'. I need to form a gang of Asian calculator yielding mathematics machines and then have that as our theme song. Big plans, big plans.
I haven't been listening to that much music lately. I've been straying away from the cool indie crew and have been trying to fit in with the hip hoppers. I stand out like a lone white kid. But hey, we cool, we chill, we down with it.
Doing nothing is a great thing to do. Ever since I got home, I've been doing nothing. I haven't even changed yet. I'm still in my uniform. My hair is also pretty funky at the moment. And I'm actually kinda sleepy.
I'm typing out worthless dizzle while the video uploads. Is it supposed to be taking this long? Ah, the internet and its mysteries. Oh yeah there's that internet supervirus going around. Hope my laptop isn't sick. That would suck. I just got this thing. What is that internet supervirus thing anyway? Is it really called that internet supervirus thing? Or does it have some street name, like the Y2K bug? What does Y2K even mean? I need to read up on computers.
My mum says that I've been getting pimples on my skin - "the only thing which you had that was good". I have to admit, the skin on my face was pretty sweet. I guess the exam stress got to me. More sweat came from my head. I don't know. Oh gosh this must be boring to read.
Oh wait, I've been listening to a lot of James Brown lately. He is just how Eddie Murphy describes him. "Get up offa that thing" and "Get on up" are two of my favourite songs. He really makes you want to get up and do things.
I should stop rambling. Enjoy the vid.
Homie Helene.

I have a laptop.


Yeah, I have these really good ones but I can't be bothered to post them up now. Maybe later.
Yes, this is how I deal with exam stress.
