In The Summertime

Maths tutoring is like in 20 minutes - and so far i've wasted my whole morning watching Youtube (Ellen Degeneres' show is so addictive!! - watch the George Clooney vids hehe). I promised myself I'd work extremely hard these holidays so I wouldn't do so badly in maths and hopefully get a higher UAI - increasing my chances to get into Music/Med.

GARR.

read belle's blog and decided to check out Threadless myself and damn the shirts are creative. The designs are so wonderfully colourful and each one looks rather similar but at a closer look, the themes are different and just so interesting to check out the catalog.
























I really like the Darth Vader making the moon, Jesus holding the Cross like a sword, the Panda one, which kinda looks like Drew's shirt, bleeding heart - seen a lot, and the "whoa, it's like I'm in a comic book" made me smile.

Damn these photos are so small :( more incentive to move to wordpress. If not, need to work out the html configurations to change the margin size blah blah - too technical >=(

Then, I stumbled on Lil' Soap, which I thought was hilarious. It made me giggle :)



















woah, this one is quite big. =D reminds me of the little teeth cartoon things Belle had on her blog. Forgot what they were called ==" but you know what I mean :)

























I then checked out my other t-shirts from the Threadless sight and found a whole catalog with these funny shirt messages. This one cracked me up :)

























For those kitten/baby joke lovers haha it made me D: I don't get how people can make jokes like, how long does it take babies to paint a wall? Depends how hard you throw them. I think that's awful, but obviously some people find it amusing (yoonface XD)
























This one absolutely cracked me up. I still smile everytime I see it haha I really would get this one. It's just soo good =D

Anyway, gotta start packing for tutoring :( he's gna kill me haha I've done like 5 pages of hw :P

Title of Blog dedicated to Thirsty Merc's In the Summertime - great song. Lyrics reflect my personal desire to finish stupid HSC and go to beach/party!! =D

Wake Me Up

Today must have been one of the most tiring days this week.

If anyone finds Shaun and my Mario and Luigi Karts, please return to us, it's very very precious to us and we really want them back.

Last found: in Senior Common Room (with a few wheels missing :P)
Reward: one of the wheels xD

speaking of which, I think I left my jumper and burberry scarf in the Hall yesterday when I was taking photo for Jazz Ensemble, I really hope I haven't lost it, I tried looking for it today, but the Hall was locked :(

A shout to Richard for teaching me the piano/violin part in the introduction of I Want You Back (Jackson 5) It was indeed-idly quite tricky and my sense of rhythm is quite terrible, so thank you very much, Grubsy

So after Jap Ext, my dad has a talk with Lowcock sensei, I go outside and take a peep @ the prefects practicing, not much I could see though haha apart from Cheryl, Connie and others dancing. people were playing basketball ! D:

Anyways, I go home, watch Communitychannel's new video (quite good :P) and I limp off to bed. I hear my father call out for dinner, but I pretend to be asleep as I usually do. I hate it how whenever I try to get some sleep, it's always around dinner time or someone calls and totally disrupts my sleepiness.

So I fall asleep and I suddenly hear this hissing sound, saying the most random random thing ever: at first I could not hear what it was saying, but then I hear "50 Messages, 50 Messages" being hissed like by a snake or something! I tried to move around but I found that I couldn't, and then I think I experienced something like a coma; cos I keep telling myself to move, but nothing would happen, wake up!! but I wouldn't. Finally, something within me clicks and i finally awaken.

Scary isn't it? It made me thought of all the people in comas. Can they actually hear and sense most things, but just can't react properly with the outside world? Doctors tell the patients' visitors to talk to the patients, try to get them to wake up, they say. They say their brain is somewhat active, but their body is not connecting with it or something. Body fatigue? I'm not sure, I don't do Biology. I heard that a woman was in a coma and they started playing some of her favourite songs on a CD player and within days, she woke up!

Yes i know I promised Jay Chou blog :P but I need to practice for tomorrow's Prefect's Assembly (yay! i get a VnR XD) and I need to memorise Jap, finish Logbook for composition.

Mayb next time :P

At Death's Door

















I've never thought about myself dying much. As a child, I was devastated at the thought of others dying. I remember watching a movie about a just married couple, where the wife suddenly found out she had cancer and the plot was mainly about her journey to death and how she began to accept it as well as how her husband began to accept her death. That movie made such a impression on me, I was scared of the people around me dying, and I would pray that everyone in my family would have good health and not die. Then, my grandfather and my auntie died recently; surprisingly, I couldn't summon the tears to cry - maybe I'd grown up from then, maybe I just knew they were @ a better place.

Speaking of which, Michael Jackson's death hasn't really hit me yet either. I still remember during exam time, I was a bored and decided to procrastinate - by watching MJ's The Way you Make Me Feel and I was wondering to myself - what would happen if MJ did die, I never thought it would actually occur a few days later. I'm still in denial - as if he died!

However, the real point of this mini post would be regarding last night. I was terribly sick, very feverish - spluttering, coughing and blowing my nose every few seconds. My head was throbbing and I was in a generally bad condition. ( Jazz ensemble- bad condition :P). It suddenly occured to me that I could die! It sounds ludicrous but at that time, when I was in bed, I came to this realisation that maybe I could die - maybe this was my last night here.

So I quickly went to my phone and unlocked my Inbox and texted up a draft highlighting like my goodbyes to my family and friends. Of course, I've deleted it now, and my inbox is locked with a password hehe, however, that thought really got me quite hard - it seemed like an impossibility - bubbles dead ?! but anything could happen.

Anyway, since I'm still in this particular mindset, I'd like to thank all my friends and family for every every moment we have spent together - you guys have brought joy into my lives and I hope I have done so in return. (wow, that sounded pretty corny :P)
