  • Completed yet uncompleted

    Finally finished mid year exams (don't' even want to think about how i went). It's been a long month, with everything being crammed for the last minute. Pity there's still the Chinese oral stuff to learn, there's just too much to do in too little time. I really don't like the idea of deciding our future in the last two years of high school, its stupid. Why couldn't it be based on our whole school life? Why couldn't they have educated us properly in primary school? Primary school, from my perspective, was a complete waste of time.

    What did I learn from primary school? Nothing....maybe just a few random facts...but that was about it. We didn't even learn our times tables until we were in grade 6, where we would take turns in saying something like "2 × 2 = 4" and the person next to you would say, "3 × 2 = 6"....even doing something that simple took the majority of the class ages. Grade 5 was the worst year. I had a teacher...that claimed the calculator could not do a simple multiplication sum with decimals. I remember, she told me I was wrong about saying 1.5 × 1.5 = 2.25...she said it should equal 22.5. Then we had a 'little discussion' about how to multiply with decimals...in the end, she checked with a calculator...which obviously gave the answer of 2.25. Too my surprise, she said something along the lines of "Hmm...that's strange. I'm not sure why the calculator is saying that. I guess it can't to multiplication with decimals. You know? Some calculators don't do what they're supposed to do."  I was so surprised she could say something like that. I wasted my whole year sitting in her class, listening to her tell stories about her pets...we had a few classroom pets...like a blue tongue lizard that excreted its faeces all over your work, a cat that kept doing diarrhoea. She was so smart that one day, she brought in a dog...and obviously the cat and dog went crazy when they saw each other. That 'intelligent' teacher of mine got scratched by the cat while trying to catch it... Then when you reach high school, its especially in the senior years...that they bombard you with homework. It's just too much to learn in the few years we have.

    Anyway, after my last exams, my parents and I went to New Quay Buffet in Docklands for lunch. It was great. Had a nice range of food...and desserts. And since exams are over for now...plans for the holidays have come. After watching VOH II, I really want to get that woodstock top that guy has...its sooo cute. They also have these really cool cushions...I'm going to make one over the holidays....hopefuilly.

    Yesterday, after psychology, I met up with Diane, Joyce, Michelle and Agnes....had lunch at Red Silk...i ordered tofu that wasn't what i expected it to be...the rice was not how I expected it to be...it was skillful the way they coooked it, each grain of rice was by itself...so instead of the grains of rice sticking together, the grains of rice got stuck in between my braces. So after lunch...we went to Galactic Circus...played stuff...i failed to pass Midnight Racer T.T....we played pink panther game thingy...very funny....didn't realise their were security cameras...and we were knocking the machine to try and get more tickets...oops. All was going well, until the stupid medication of mine made me feel gay....tired and out of breath....slight headache....and it doesn't even have great effects on me. And then everything went bad...when I got to the tram stop, the tram left without me, I got to the train station, the train was delayed...then about 6 or 7 stations from where i needed to get off, the train driver tells everyone to get off the train and wait for the next one because the train that we're all on is defective...so we all wait. We all wait in the bloody cold, no train, we continue to wait...still no train....the clock ticks....no train...more ticking...more waiting...still no train...continue to wait...then finally, train comes...everyone squashes on...nobody can breathe....my stupid medication, was still making me feel gay....so I was squashed onto a packed and stuffy train...while feeling slightly light headed, short of breathe and extremely tired...especially after waiting out in the cold for nearly half an hour. Then when I get to the bus stop...no bus. I waited...for about half an hour...as usual, because the stupid bus comes so 'frequently'. We pay so much to use the public transport system...and yet it is still so unreliable. Each year, the fees go up so quickly, but what are we paying for? Crappy services...and angry bus drivers who speed down the bus lane...and nearlly crash into cars because they're running late. I even had a bus driver who left early so he could stop at Bakers Delight to get something to eat. Then when I finally arrive home, thinking mum had coooked something nice for dinner...WRONG! She microwaved some canned food for me to eat with rice, my favourite. When you're feeling so annoyed, tired and kind of unwell, the best thing you can have is a canned meal. How exciting! Anyway, it wasn't her fault...she was busy for the whole day.

    Had lunch at Glen Waverely today...I got another To-Fu Oyako key cover today, now I'm only missing three of the until I have the whole set. Must go back some day to get the remaning three....

  • ~Bloated~

    The day finally came....and went so quickly.
    Yesterday, we went to some place to eat kickass jap food with Joanne and Michelle's family. The chef was apparently from iron chef, who knows? Main point was the food was awesome. I've never actually been that full after jap food. Last night was just crazy. At first, I was some what unsure about eating raw seafood, and after learning about all the worms and stuff that you can get from eating raw food, that made me even more unsure. But all went well, the sashimi wasn't as scary as i thought it'd be.
    The environment of that place was very nice. Although it was a bit squishy, and the chairs could have been more comfortable, it gave a really warm and welcoming feeling. Best of all, it had a massive plasma that accompanied our dinner. The people there were friendly, the food there was awesome....I'd love to go again.
    So first up, we had sashimi, and everything raw...there was raw beef....that was nice. There was also raw abalone, lobster, scallops...your usual raw tuna and salmon, raw oysters.....lots of stuff. They were all so good. The abalone, beef and scallops were the best in my opinion. The lobster and jellyfish unfortunately got stuck in between my braces, so I didn't eat much of that. Along with all this raw food, we were also served some egg thing....not sure what it was, but it was pretty good. Had a lot unexpected stuff in it, which was nice.

    (from left to right, top to bottom: raw beef (doesn't look very apetising, but it's delicious), sushi, the sashimi after half of it was eaten...should've taken a shot of it before it was eaten; the egg thingy; the lobster and the tempura; and last of all, the scallops baked with cheese.)
    I think the next thing we ate was fried gyoza...can't remember. They were nice as well. Or maybe the next thing we ate after all this raw food were the scallops baked with cheese. Anyhow, they were both delicious. Then we were served the tempura...lots of variety, all very nice. The way the food was served on the dishes was amazing. Then last of all game the fruit. The strawberries were a bit too sour, but otherwise, the whole thing was great.Watermelon was juicy, rockmelon was sweet, kiwi was kiwi...don't know how to describe it, strawberries were a bit sour, dragonfruit was not sweet enough....oh and there was pancakes with cream and strawberry on it, they were nice, and there was alos mochi. Overall, the whole meal was very filling and worth what we paid for...actually, I think it was worth more than what we paid for. The majority of what we ait was seafood, and you could taste that the seafood was all very fresh.
    I also tried, for the very first time, sake. I'm not sure how to describe the taste, but I really like the feeling of it in your mouth, and as it goes down the throat...

  • Why?

    I finally quit piano today, but why do I feel unhappy? Should I be feeling this way? I would've expected to feel relieved...or even slightly happy, but why am I feel unhappy about it? Have I grown to like it without knowing? I'm missing it already...

  • loving trexi :)

    It's been a while....i guess.
    VCE finally started, so tired already. Anyway, I went birthday shopping after school today...but instead, I found a shop that sells TREXI XD only $16.50 each....that's cheaper than the store in chadstone. They have so many cool things in there...lik the 1.5 inch trexis as well.
    Had to wait an hour for the bus to come today, it was cold and boring, but worth waiting. Today I saw Fiona at the station, or maybe she saw me...anyway, it was nice to see her again...been a while since I last talked to her.

    It's been cold the past few days, i hope this helps the bush fires...hopefully all goes well soon.

    Feel as if there's so much I want to write, but I don't know where to start from....feeling so confused.....screw this. Forget it.
