Took Bae Kee 2, Vivid City + Sims 3

I went to the city today with my friend, Faith as we haven't been together in such a long time. In my case, I haven't been to the city for months as I have stopped working at Hungry Jacks!

We met up at the train station, and I was running really late and felt bad because I had already pushed the meeting time to 10:30 instead of 10. All was well though.

When we stepped onto the train, all the seats were filled up or only single seats were available so we decided to sit in the Prority seats. Then we reached a couple more stations and there were two old ladies who entered and so I quickly moved out of the way and sat elsewhere. Elsewhere meaning a single seat next to some foreigner who was speaking in a different language.

Then we set off to our friend Emily's store because Faith has never been there and apparently there is a new store in the back of Emily's family's store. So we went to visit Vivid City which is the name of the store and is similar to Morning Glory. They sell a lot of Korean Pop merchandise like albums, posters, cups and keyrings. They also sell cosmetics, stationary, accessories, phone cases and bags. Me and Faith bought matching hair clips. Mine was pink and hers was a mint blue colour.

Then we went to Took Bae Kee 2 which is a Korean lunch BBQ restaurant where we had lunch, actually my first meal, and we ordered three dishes. We actually managed to finish them all - all three of us! 



~~Our Meal~~

Taking pictures of Emily's disgusting/messy eating area

We ordered two plates of meat - one with bones and the other without bones. They were really good! We also ordered this hot and spicy soup with egg, tofu and beef. It was OK, it tasted really bland but I couldn't really taste it until it cooled down since it was really hot and spicy. It was really bland compared to my beloved kimchi chigae. We also had Aloe Vera as our drink.

It was really funny because we saw the drinks menu and all of us ordered for an aloe vera drink but then the waitress told us that it was actually just a really large bottle. Imagine that! All three of us having three 1L of Aloe Vera! We couldn't even finish that one large bottle between the three of us. It was really nice though! 

Emily had to leave after lunch to help her mum with their shop. So it was just me and Faith wandering around the shops. We went to various of different places to look at the clothes but everything was so expensive. That's when we wandered into EB GAMES!!!!! This was the best part of our whole day! Me and Faith are like the best of Sims 3 fans. So when we saw that Sims 3 EPs and Stuff packs were on sale - we immediately bought them. The EPs were all only $19!!!!!  The stuff packs (excluding Katy Perry's Sweet Treats) were only $9. That's a really low price compared to what they usually are priced at!

The things I bought today



The next stop was at Utopia where Faith bought us 'Winter Love Milk Tea with Chocolate Sago' which she has never tried before but I have so I recommended it to her. She doesn't like it though :( 

We did take lots of photos though! We tested out the functions on my camera! 

Faith on her iPhone, the guy behind her tried to photobomb

SIMS 3 #YOLO

Trying out the sparkle feature on my camera

Trying out the vignette feature on my camera
And then we went to other shops to browse around but didn't find anything worthy of buying or interesting enough. We decided to have sushi after but Faith's mum, who was taking us home, told us that she would be coming to Greenwood station to pick us up. So we quickly caught the train without even finishing our sushi. I feel really bad now, Faith paid for the majority of my lunches today. :(

Back at home, I tried to install Sims 3 Showtime but then my computer stuffed up the original Sims 3 game and now everything is LOOOSSTTTT?!?!!?!! Yeah, so I decided to blog about my day. I don't know whether today has been a bad day or a good day but I can't play Sims 3 :<




The Perks of Being a Wallflower


One of those rare blogger moments where you post two posts in one day for your favourite book. (One of my favourite books)

So after half a year of waiting for the movie to come out - the trailer is finally getting released tomorrow at the MTV pre show!!!!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is about a wallflower named Charlie and his friends, family and school experiences as a teenager. I won't spoil too much in case you want to read it but I will leave you with few of my favourite quotes from the book. Which is lying right beside me on my bed! I am re-reading it before I watch the trailer and plan to re-read it before I watch the movie!

Charlie, Patrick and Sam
 It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book We accept the love we think we deserve.I feel infinite.'He's a wallflower.'...And in that moment, I swear we were infinite. I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other. I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica. Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend. Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I've been watching cable television and eating jello.


I wasn't sure of the cast at first but then I saw the trailer and was all excited about it and though they suited the characters perfectly. Stephen Chbosky, who is the author of the book, is directing and wrote the screenplay for it so if he interpreted his book this way then I'll accept it! 

I love the book because I can relate to Charlie. I am a wallflower. I also love the characters, the mystery behind it, the humour that I laugh out loud to and just the plot in general. I also love how it makes me feel like I'm actually receiving letters and being brought along with the ride. I just love it and I can't wait to watch the movie. Hopefully it comes to Australia and even if it doesn't, I hope to watch it one way or another. 

The novel is definitely not for everyone, it's a little dark and shows a lot of teenager's lives. People will either love it or hate it - I'm just one of those who love it. 

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

Skin Products ~ Acne Journey

Recently, my friends have been telling me that my skin has actually gotten better since the last time they saw me. Which was 3 weeks ago. My family has also told me that my skin has gotten better as well. I think it's because of my new skincare routine and the products I've been using that have made my skin a lot better. So I'm going to share these Australian products with you. I'm sure you can pretty much find these products anywhere.

Birdy


Birdy's album cover named Birdy
Just this morning, my sister inserted this Birdy CD into the car. It was 12 in the afternoon when we were driving to Northbridge to have lunch. My trip to the city was a pleasant one as I was listening to Birdy and reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I think this month is going to be all about birds or something (even my blog head is of birds!)

I was immediately mesmerized by Birdy's voice. She is absolutely amazing and has a beautiful voice. Even though all the songs on the album are just song covers such as Skinny Love and Young Blood - she gives them a touch of 'Birdy-ness' (?) to them and makes them hers.



I feel really pedophile - ish when I say this but she has an absolutely amazing voice and she's super pretty! I can honestly say that she's one of my favourite singers along with Florence + The Machine and Lana Del Rey! They're all super pretty and they all have unique voices and a certain style.

#Thatawkwardmomentwhenyou'reobsessedwitha15yearoldsvoice

Rating: 3.5/5
Because none of these songs are originals but very beautiful covers.

Recommended songs: Skinny Love, People help the people, White Winter Hymnal, The District sleeps alone tonight, Terrible Love

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami


This is my first Haruki Murakami book ever! I just happened to find it in a bookstore one day, I was like so happy because I have been look for Haruki Murakami books everywhere! I particularly wanted to read Norwegian Wood but I am quite liking The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle even though I've been researching on my information on what it might be about but so far it remains a mystery. Guess I'll just have to read to find out but it has 3 books in one so it's a 600 page novel. 


I haven't finished reading the book actually, in fact, I'm only up to chapter 5,(i know! I'm sorry!) I only just bought the book the day before; so you can't really blame me as I only just started properly reading it yesterday while me and my family were out shopping. I really don't know what to say about this novel but it's sort of philosophical and makes you think of the world around you. Which is actually quite appropriate for me since I'm doing Philosophy & Ethics as a subject in school. I like the characters so far, I like May - the teenage girl - she's quite quirky and weird. I like it, I do.



I think the reason why so many people like Haruki Murakami's works, is that it covers so many themes and issues in real life. The way he presents it and the style of writing is just phenomenal, once you start reading, you feel as if you're there with the main character but it's a sort of very vivid and beautiful sort of way. He just describes everything beautifully and with continuity. He also challenges you with the issues the main character has to face as well. That's what I've picked up from the 5 chapters I've read. Ha.

Didn't like the HUNGER GAMES! [spoilers]



It might come across as a shock to everyone, since I usually like every movie I watch except for some...But personally, I didn't really like the Hunger Games. Honestly, I would prefer Breaking Dawn part 1 (only breaking dawn out of the twilight saga) over the Hunger games. I know many of my friends love it so much and think it's even better than Harry Potter. Seriously?! This movie gave me a migraine and I couldn't even see what was happening. The worst part is, is that it was so unrealistic and it was like they were trying to put everything into the book! Some people might complain that it didn't stay true to the book and what not, but I believe that the most important part of making a movie based on a novel, is just to pick out the important events and place it in the movie. You don't need to put every single detail into the movie unless you want it to be like 10 hours long.


Got my laptop back! Woo! + Year 12 Ball details

Just like the title says, I have my laptop back and I feel ever so professional! Though I do wish that I had a larger laptop and not a small mini notebook. This laptop is quite small and so you can't really do many things on it, except browse the net but not watch videos because the screen is too small. You also can't play sims 3 as it doesn't have a CD ROM thingo. Which also means that I don't have Microsoft word and everything because I can't install it ! Also, the reason why I have not updated on my sims 3 is because my computer's CD rom broke and so I can't/don't even have the time to play it!

Anyhoo, our year 12 ball is coming up soon (9th of March), and everyone is fair bit excited about it. I'm only excited because I get to be all prettied up and have an excuse to go shopping for clothes and everything. I don't have pictures of everything I have bought and I wouldn't want to because I want it to be a surprise until the day. I don't know who might be reading this but I don't want any classmates to be reading this and just so happen to see what I bought (even though the possibility of that happening is like 5 in a million.)

That is all!

P.S I quit my job at Hungry Jacks lol. I don't really miss it though, but the manager told me to work again once holiday begins but I don't know if I should. I really do need the money but I could get an even better job with a better salary at some other place?! But I don't know if they would be so lenient.....Oh wells! Better a job than nothing! I'll just find a better one when I've finished year 12!

Hungry Jacks customers {rant}

I have actually not blogged on here since last year, I really should do that more this year! :) That shall be one of my resolutions though I don't think I will be able to achieve it as I would like it to because of year 12! Eeek!

Anyways, in November 2011 - I went for an interview for Hungry Jacks since I had already finished my year 11 exams and I had like 3 months of holidays. My dad's friend is actually a manager at Hungry Jacks so she called me for an interview and just come for an small interview and they actually hired me...Oh my gosh, what a laugh - I came back home that day after the interview and realised that my school socks (which I wore to the interview had holes in them.. how embarassing!)



Hungry Jacks wasn't what I was hoping for my first job to be and I hated it at first - especially since I had to do the washing up and putting meat down the broiler. I had no idea what to expect and thought it would be an easy job (NOPE!)  I remember discussing with my friends what sort of jobs we wanted to work at but that was when I realised, if I can't handle simple jobs like this, then why in the world would other places like Easyway and coffee shops want to hire someone unexperienced like me?! The first couple weeks were deadly and exhausting mainly because I had no idea what was going on and most of the time people were telling me things I had no idea what they were talking about. So yeah, after like 3 weeks of putting meat in the broiler and washing up, I finally learnt how to do the fries and how to make burgers (though I only made burgers for like one day lol)...Then they moved me to front counter the day after I learnt how to make burgers.

The front counter is definitely better than the kitchen, and it's especially convenient for me since I've experienced what's in the burgers and what's happening in the back and like break times and everything. The only thing I really dislike about the front counter are the customers. 


OH MY GOSH! I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I HATE SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS AT HUNGRY JACKS! Okay, I obviously don't hate all of the customers and there are some that I do really respect and like especially the ones that say 'thank you' and say 'you too' when I tell them to have a nice day. I especially respect the ones that have been waiting for a long time for their order and they don't have a scrunched or mad face on and don't even complain and even when I apologize to them, they say it's alright and give a smile and hurry off to their next destination.

Some of the customers that I have encountered that I really dislike are mostly teenagers (mind you, I'm a teenager myself) and seniors.

So at Hungry Jacks, we have this senior policy that they get a free drink if they've bought a burger or breakfast muffin. Most of the seniors are so damn picky about this! They obviously need to show the cashier their senior's card, and sometimes I can tell that they're a senior because of their appearance and everything...they just look like it. Then there are others that don't look that old and I can't tell if they're a senior or in their late 40's or something. So this one time, I'm taking an order and they want a flat white and a kids meal for the child and so I tell them the amount. Then they go all psycho on me and everything say that they're a senior and they don't need to pay for the coffee and constantly repeat it over and over again like I'm the one whose deaf. Well, the least they could have done is show me their senior's card or start dressing their age and stop getting botox to make yourself younger than you look. Other seniors are like this too, especially the ones that want you to mix the sugar in for them. Look, there is like 10 other people waiting in line after you and you can't even mix the sugar for yourself?!

Today, it was very busy and since I work at a Hungry Jacks which is in a food court, it gets really noisy. So, it is so annoying, and most of the time I just guess the order and repeat it back to them. Now the teenagers...so they walk up to the counter and start ordering like the speed of a train...

'Iwantawhopperinamealandinsteadofthesoftdrinkiwantabubblegumslushieohandinthewhoppercantherebenopicklesonionsandtomatoesandcanigetsomespicysaucewiththat'

...So, I put in whatever I've heard and I ask 'would you like that in a meal?' (this is like a habit, cause I say it like every single time). Then they reply like 'THAT'S WHAT I SAID! I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT!' with their eyes rolling and everything and their face is like 'omg i can so do a better job than you.' and I'm just like 'bitch please (not really), what size meal do you want with that? There's a small, regular or large.' I can't exactly mind read! Not my fault when I put down a regular meal and you get your order and you're like 'I didn't order a regular! I asked for a large!' The same goes for drinks as well 'I ASKED FOR A FANTA!' Wow, calm down. It just takes 10 seconds for me to get you a drink so you don't exactly need to wait. And then there's like 'And what drink would you like to have with that?' 'OMG I ALREADY TOLD YOU I WANT A COKE ZERO!' Well, I'm sorry, just making sure, in case I accidentally give you a coke instead. It really bothers me how I give them a receipt with the change and instead of checking if I have everything down, they just leave it on the counter and just take the change then go chat with their friends and stand right in front of the counter while there's 10 other people behind them waiting in line.

There's also the people with eftpos...For our eftpos machine, we need to press the button so the eftpos will start working and goes to credit/debit. So after I've told the microphone what burgers they need to make. I repeat the order for the customer and tell them the total and then they start swiping the card. So I need to press the EFTPOS button on the machine and they're just like 'Why isn't it working?' and start swiping it again and again. 'Am I swiping it the right way?' No, you're not sorry.

There's also the people who ask for vegie burgers!!!!!! Vegie patties need to be cooked for like 2 minutes!!! If you're ordering a vegie burger, expect it to take a while or don't order it at all if you're in a hurry. The customers that order a vegie burger always get so impatient. Don't they understand that they didn't order a whopper (whopper meat is kept in a heat chute) but a vegie burger which needs the vegie patty to be cooked and the burger to be made?!

There are also customers who just stare at you while waiting for your order like, or stare at you while waiting in line, or stare at you while you're finishing up an order and you need to get the drinks for the customer first before taking another order. They expect you to take their order first before anything else and start ordering even though you need to hand another customer's order first. It is so annoying when they start ordering even though you're not ready to take an order! Don't they have any patience? I especially dislike those people who just push in line and start ordering even though they just pushed in front of 7 other people.

Meh, that's all I can think of for now - I shall think of more the next time I rant!

Strobe Edge

This is a short post but - after 4 years of reading and waiting for STROBE EDGE by Sakisaka Io, I have finally finished the whole series!! 36 chapters and 10 volumes.I don't even know what to feel inside but I feel so happy and totally going >,< all through the couple last chapters. Definitely top in my manga list!!! And Ren is sooo hot!!!!!

It has made my heart flutter, beat and always manages to pull on my heartstrings and always, ALWAYS makes me go 'AWWWWWW' I loved the ending and it has taught me so many things and guided me along with Ninako's (which is such a cute name btw) first love and the challenges she (and many other teenage girls) face with love and relationships! I don't know what manga to read now, I just feel like I've reached my goal and achieved something and now I feel all good inside, especially since the last chapter was filled with 'nawww~~~' moments!

School and Sleepovers

So, now it's currently term 2 holidays and that means we would have already received our semester 1 reports already! I thought I would have done so much better, I was so disappointed in myself. I guess I'm just so used to getting A's or B's for my report and only like 1 C...

But this year, I received only 2 A's!!!! My parents were extremely disappointed in me and I was so embarrassed with myself. I knew that I wasn't working to the best of my ability, since I was procrastinating so much and compared my my friends in my classes - I wasn't working properly and putting the best effort I could of. I'm going to try to at least push my C's to a B, and my B's to an A and try to improve my A's even more. I need all of these scores to add up together so I can go to university.



I've always dreamed of going into university (Sims 2 had a big influence XD ), but many people say that university is very fun and everything. And since, I've been at the same school since I was 5 years old, I've never really made new friends (well I have, but not at a new school), and been the new girl? at a new school. It's just going to be super fun, and I don't want to miss out on all the fun just because I couldn't graduate and go to university just because I wasn't working well enough in school.

UWA

Also, even though when my parents ask me what I want to be when I grow up - I have no idea. I know that I want to study social psychology in university, but honestly, I have no idea what to be when I grow up. I'm thinking of business, with like a full on desk and writing reports and everything but that seems like a really boring job and I'm more of an art person...but at the same time psychology is just so interesting and intriguing... I just hope, somehow, God can guide me to the right directions and lead me to whatever path he has planned out for me. I'm sure he has a future for me and somehow in my future, he would want me to help spread the word about Him but at the same time, survive through this sinful world. (Sorry if I seem like a pessimist)

Anyways, end of rant.

Danae's 16th Birthday Party

So, on saturday [18/06/11] It was Danae's 16th birthday party and it was semi-formal styled and it was a progressive dinner so we didn't know what was going to happen. Danae didn't really give out many clues or anything so we all guessed :)

I didn't bring my camera with me since it didn't fit into my bag, so there aren't many photos of the FOOD <3 and most of it are self shots. OH WELLS!

When we arrived there, Danae was still getting dressed and her church friends and Mel had already arrived. So we sat down to watch TV, and introduced ourselves. It was a wee bit awkward but it was alright when Danae came out! She unwrapped the presents and cards and we waited for the rest of the people to turn up. Jenna arrived, then Kendra, then Natalie then Chelsea.

We walked outside and we found a hot pink HUMMER!!! For anyone who doesn't have an idea as to what a hummer is, it looks like this:

Pink Hummer! (Similar to the one we had)
So yeah, we were all like super duper excited as we didn't expect it and the inside was amazing! It was like all bright and had heaps of speakers and the coolest hot pink seats.

Similar to our one except not as pink inside

We all had dresses on, so it was bit difficulty to get it since we had to bend over and cover up our bottoms!

Athletics Carnival and Other Bits

Greetings to you all! :) Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been finishing exams and then we had an athletics carnival our first week back after exams! It was pretty hectic as it was so cold and we had to come back from our holiday mood and go straight back into school. I can finally focus on playing Sims 3 and writing my fanfiction! (which still doesn't have a proper name yet D:)

We had our athletics carnival on Thursday and it was pouring in the morning but after the host/speaker on the microphone prayed for us, the rest of the day was all sunny and bright! :D

I didn't go in any of the events except for novelties and those were fun :) We took heaps of photos but these two are the only good ones!

High school Musical! :D
Posing in front of a billboard

Winter Pajamas

It's the week before Exam Week(s), *le sigh* ... I really don't know how I should be feeling right now, but damn - it's cold. I haven't even been that efficient studying for exams. I have like 5 exams! I know some people have 6, but I am so stressed!

Psychology, Economics, Ethics and Philosophy, English and Maths. (No, I don't do any science subjects luckily) Economics and maths, I'm extremely worried about. For English, Ethics and Philosophy and Psychology I'm either getting A's or B's....Maths is so darn easy if I just had more time to do the work. If I didn't have most of my time after school consumed by those English assignments, I might be getting at least a B for Maths and Economics.

I really should stop wasting time and continue studying! Hmph, it's so cold right now. So glad I have an electric blanket. I don't know what I'll do without one. It's like your own personal comfortable heater. And PAJAMAS! Mumsies bought me two new pajamas early in the month. One is red with owls on it and one is hot pink with penguins on them! I also have a new dressing gown and they're sky blue with pink and white hearts on them. They're so nice and warm! >< Even my dog, Chocolate, has this jacket for winter and it's extremely warm. He keeps on shivering in the morning since it's so cold.

SCREAM 4 Outing



So today me and my friends went to the cinemas to watch...


Yup, still can't believe I watched through the whole movie. It was scary, gore-y and amusing all at the same time. I think I screamed a lot during the movies -- disturbing the rest of the people =__= oh no!

I won't really say much since it's definitely not a movie where you should find out who the murderer is in this case since I think that was the clever bit about the movie. It was also very funny thanks to COURTNEY COX! Oh my, she is gorgeous despite her age! Me and my friends kept on thinking the murderer was either this guy or that girl but it was none of them in the end o.O So that was really clever of the movie.


I thought the beginning of the movie was very cleverly done! I would have never guessed. The blood is also very disgusting and gore-y. It's like the whole HEAPS AND HEAPS of blood flowing out of the body kind of bleeding. STAB STAB STAB! Heaps and heaps of stabbing.

The cast were all a pretty bunch and they were all pretty good though I do have to say that they weren't as good as Neve Ampbell (Sidney), David Arquette and Courtney Cox. I will never view Emma Roberts the same after watching the movie...you'll find out when you watch the movie. Also, Hayden Panettiere's hair D: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? I like how they connected the old cast and set a new cast together.

Very well done, Scream 4 - you are the cause of all the spilled popcorn on my cinema seat. Literally hugging my box of popcorn from all the suspense and my friend next to me was hiding under her shirt. XD



River Cruise Year 11

I am extremely sorry for not updating this blog, but I
have been very busy because of school work. Another reason is because I have no idea what to write and so sometimes I just can't be bothered. ;~;

Anyhoo, we had our year 11 river cruise two weeks ago. It was so much fun! :D As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words so here are some photos:


Left to right: Me and Sarah
Dance floor.....So packed ><

Left to right: Nicole, Becca, Sarah

The food we had :) It was very nice! Buffet!
We arrived on Barrack Street, near the Bell Tower and there was this humungous cruise ship just waiting for us! Everyone was like taking photos and saying 'ooh, I love your dress!' and 'You look so pretty!' It was dreadfully awkward and I didn't even know what to do. 

Then we boarded the ship and it was so big inside. The dance floor was tiny though and I was expecting some cool DJ with headphones and everything but har-har NOPE...just an old man. It was cold outside and some people re-enacted the whole 'Jack and Rose' scene from Titanic outside of the ship. It didn't seem  like the ship was moving but it was actually going at a fast speed. 

We all sat down and had like entree. Which were these mini spring rolls and curry puffs! They were soooo amazingly good! I'm so sad I didn't take that much photos. They were tres bien! We also had glasses of soda. We originally had coca cola at our table but then after we finished it, the waitresses refilled it. We also had a mini buffet. Heaps and heaps of food! It was so nice! I'm actually craving for it right this instant. Potatoes, potato salad, coleslaw, roast beef, bread and butter and garden salad! Oh yumboe, scrumboes!

We had like dessert too but I didn't eat that much because I had stitches from dancing and was very full from the main meal already. The dessert was like passionfruit cake, rocky road cake, fruits and thats all I can remember but they were delicious!

Then the rest of the night I danced while stopping to go outside because it was very hot from the dancing. You could literally see the windows steaming up and everything!

The cruise went on for three and a half hours and by the end of it, by feet were very sore. The next day, my legs and thighs were throbbing in pain from all the dancing (jumping up and down in this case).

Big Bang - Love Song TRANSLATION




Lyrics in English :-

(TOP) One woman is becoming disaster
Even though a man is still singing
I'm tearing up at the thought of break up

(Daesung) I can't touch you, I know yeah eh
I'm falling, catch me (hello)

(GD) I hate this love song...I hate this love song..
I hate this love song... I hate this love song.. x2

(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I'll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you


(Seungri) I hate this love song, I'm going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I'm going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo

(GD) I'm scared, this world is meaningless
Take me to where you are, a place with the moon and stars

(Daesung) We were so beautiful, you know
You taught me what love was, hello

(Taeyang) I hate this love song...I hate this love song..
I hate this love song... I hate this love song..

(GD) I hate this love song... I hate this love song..
I hate this love song... I hate this love song..

(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I'll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you

(GD) I hate this love song, I'm going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I'm going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo

(TOP) The warm rays of the sun are of another world
The field of reeds are dancing all alone
I remain paused at a green hill, holding a conversation I've yet to finish with her
The sky is of an expressionless face that holds no answers
You're probably hiding behind the clouds, you're probably a star

(GD) I close my eyes and feel your breath, I dream of you
A smile spreads across my lips, you're breathing with me now
Time, please stop, don't divide her and I
Wind, stop blowing, this is my last letter to you

(Taeyang) I hate this love song, I'll never sing it again
So I can stop thinking of you, so I can finally forget you

(Seungri) I hate this love song, I'm going to sing it with a smile
In order to cure your loneliness, I'm going to you now
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo

Japan


I'm pretty sure everyone knows about the Japan tsunami by now...
So...wow, if you've watched the news - you'd know about how LARGE the disaster was.
It was honestly...horrible and heartbreaking.
Even though I'm glad that the japanese exchange students we had last year are completely safe -
but it's still really saddening that thousands and thousands of people are confirmed dead or missing.
And a lot of the japanese exchange students had friends and family in Tokyo so I hope they won't be worried and that their friends and family will all be safe.


I hope everyone can help support Japan and hopefully they can rebuild again,
hopefully the people who have lost family and friends will regain their strength,
hopefully everyone can help contribute and continue to pray for Japan.

I know this is really late but it's just been really sad,
and here I am just looking around and nothing ever happens here
and I'm just so glad - it's good the way it is.

Thank you to everyone who donated~~!!!!




February Photos

It was my birthday on the 8th so I wanted to share some photos from my surprise party! :D



Kimi ni Todoke ED Kimi ni Todoke - May's Lyrics / Translation



douka ima dake wa furimukanaide
please don't look at me right now

yuugare sawagu kaze
the sun's set, the wind's blowing

furesouna kyouri
and we're so close that we can almost touch

kimi wo mitsumeteru zutto
my gaze has always been fixed on you

kimi ga suki de
i like you

kimi ga suki de
i've always liked you

kono omoi koi demo ii
i don't mind if this emotion is what they call is love

kizu tsuitero ii
and i don't care if i get hurt by it

nando demo tsutaetai
i just want to tell you, over and over again

kimi ni todoke
i want to reach you



Oh ... Wow...Year 11...Lovely!

Year 11 started off with a BANG! Not one of the teachers I had, had a discussion of 'how the holidays went' or 'let's introduce yourself' No siree, they immediately started handing out course outlines and telling you that year 11 is going to be much more stricter because of the new principal.

Yes...that totally makes us feel so much better indeed. It just feels as if we didn't even have the holidays and totally just get into school work because on the first day I was handed...an assignment. Third day? Assignment and 2 worksheets and 7 pages of homework which totally stressed me out so much.

This year will probably be exactly the same as last year - the usual...boring, unexciting, misery-filled and stressful year. My life is so boring sometimes I wonder if I should just totally lie on this blog and talk about this new made up life I have in my mind. You know...like it's filled with exciting dramas and funny teachers and girls who fall in love but then something exciting happens that stops them. Then people can quote it like it's in the movies so it'll be like totally AMAZING.

But no, sadly...no.
Life is just boring as.

Goodbye Holidays

So, school is tomorrow. First year of YEAR 11! That's right, two more years until I graduate and finally become an adult and go to university/college and start life. I can finally experience the life my Sims had that I never got to have!!!


Yeah, so, holidays were really quite boring and the only exciting thing that happened was sleeping. Oh and I forgot to mention the exciting dreams I had whilst dreaming. The saying 'Dreams are better than reality.' Oh yeah - I couldn't even wake up until 6pm some days (during the holidays) because my dreams were so fascinating.


This morning I was dreaming of Skins...I really don't know if that was a good or bad thing o.O because it's like R rated and everything but it was definitely generation 1 of Skins. I'm really beginning to like generation 2 of Skins though :) Everyone finds Pandora annoying and they hate her but she's okay for me. I like her. She's useless.

We also have a river cruise in March. Everyone's already found their dresses and everything ~ well except me of course. Or else I would have already put it on my blog instead of moping around wondering what to blog about today. I went around Whitfords where they have like Sportsgirl, Dotti, THE FOREVER NEW! Ugh yeah, no luck cause everything is not 'river cruise' enough except for Forever New except everythings SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!! It's like you're looking for something formal but not too formal. Everything here is like way too formal or way too casual!! It's really hard :/ But I don't know, I've only been window shopping at Whitfords. I still need to go to the city to check it out.

... Anyhoo, school tomorrow so I better go to sleep. Though I have my alarm clock so I don't know why everyones worried. :)
