ONE DAY TO GO

so urban FINALLY begins tomorrow!!!

SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! today was pretty much our last day of year 9

we did a clean up...ie, take EVERYTHING outta the locker and dump it in my very empty bag :P

we had a church service which was meh, shelby's reflection was hilarious, viv and i are gonna be all "like tots defs biffles" on urban hahahha. mr hall is awesome, hes so good at music O__O maybe thats why hes a music teacher lmfao

THEN WE HAD A BBQ LUNCH :D which was great, free food. wrote in a few trek diaries, got our maths tests back (I PASSED MATHS THIS YEAR!!! METHODS ALL THE WAY BABY *spews*) and got our lockeroom stink-bombed :D ROFL. bec and anna shouldve saved them bombs for the next years year 9's...gosh. hahaha

afterwards, viv and i went to chaddy to check out the new retail loop, which was pretty crap. we got all hyped up over nothing :[ i bought "herbalism" and "breath of fresh air" from lush (hope they work okay) HERBALISM STINKS LIKE SHIT!!!!! but its a nice cleanser i guess. also got a sample moisturiser and stuff...bought deltas album and a dress for like $7.50! viv bought summer heights high which i shall scab off her later, and a choc chip icecream which i ate the cookie haha. it hurt my teeth :[

tomorrow's urban thing is "arcades, lanes and cafes" which is a mini treasure hunt thing, the other group are doing an amaing race kinda thing!! we get that next week. ohhh and on wednesday we get to spend the day with refugees (i bought smiggle coloured pencils for them <3)...i bet i'll cry hahaha. apparently they think its christmas when we give them pressies, mum's complaining that my gift is too expensive. i mean COME ON, $10 isnt that much and it'd be nice to make the kids smile.

HOUSE ARTS '07

WELL DONE TO EVERYONE WHO WAS IN HOUSE ARTS THIS YEAR!!!!

1st place went to jamie, 2nd to akey and clarke and wilky came equal 3rd/last. honestly i thought akey should have won and clarke and wilky shouldn't have been equal. our dance and choir were the best out of everyones (trying to be unbiased here) and our overall thing was just a lot different to the other houses.

akey's was really good, perfect transitions and VIV WAS SO CUTE!!! it was about an author who fell into her story about these little munchkin people (tintonians LOL) who want to kill the evil guy who lives in the castle. the author can't go back to the real world unless she gets the key from him, so she helps the tintonians to kill him by poisoning his milk. their backdrops and arty things were AMAZING (go viv!!), their band (phantom of the opera) was pretty good and their dance was just slutty :] aaand they sang "high" and "we're all in this together" LOL.

jamie's was a rip-off version of the devil wears prada :P the acting and stuff was really good though, the band was freaking amazing as usual. their dance was also pretty creative, they came out of a spaceship and did roboty things :P sarah flipped around, yee.

wilky's was...about a glowing girl O__o theres this geeky girl and her friends vs a bitchy girl and her gang (way too cliche), the bitchy girls give her some stuff and she starts to glow. then she becomes a bitch, but loses her glow one day and goes back to her old friends and realises who her true friends are. their instrumental was monty python stuff which suited the scene really well :]

in short ours was about an aboriginal girl who lived with a white family, and she meets an aboriginal boy who takes her to the nevernever tribe, where she finds out who her real family and mother are. our dance was the confusion going on in her brain which was SO GOOD!!! the strobe lights were awesome hahaha. our instrumental sucked, but i tried =__= at least the singing and tap dance made it interesting (i hope) our choir was amazing, so proud of everyone <3 AND SO WAS OUR BACKDROP!! GO STEPHHHHH!!!! except, she didnt get a bunch of flowers as a thankyou from the presentgiving people :[

wilky and clarke cheered and chanted the most, we were so enthusiastic about it lmfao, but we still lost :] ah well, it was fun running around the oval with sam/min/aidan/erika/kienan afterwards ahhahaaha

...PHOTOS FROM BEFORE AND AFTER....

lmao viv :P


SOPHIE :D its sideways O__o


NICOLAA


anna not loving her hairs. haha


viv my munchkin.


GAY RAAPE


spastic snap :]


letting go of the balloon O__O!


AND JUST FOR LAUGHS....


thankyou and goodbye :D

job skills training

today was awesome, probably gonna be the best day of careers week. so yesterday we watched some boring clips about work experience and today we met the guy who was in the video HAHA! his name's alf, and he took our group/house for a bit of job skills training...we started off the day with a mock interview which was pretty good. had to wear appropriate clothes and stuff, and i got 42 out of 50 :D got marked down for missing eye contact for a second =__= which is pretty lame. oh well, i'll stare the hell out of the interviewer the next time i get the chance *nods*

afterwards, we wrote up a resume and letter sample...not the most interesting. did a panel elimination interview ish thing (CLOTHING 4 KAGS FAGS LOL) which was strange and hard. but me, steph and aleesha were left at the end :D then! we played/did the 3 minute test. go grab a piece of paper and do this now (shall edit it a bit):

1. Read everything before doing anything
2. Print your full name in block letters in the upper right-hand corner of this paper
3. White your birth date under your name
4. Draw five small squares in the upper left-hand corner of this paper
5. Circle the word "name" in question 2
6. Put your left hand in the air for 3 seconds
7. Put an X in the lower left-hand corner of this paper
8. If you are enjoying this test say "Yes" out loud", if not say "No"
9. On the right margin of this paper, multiply 66 by 2
10. Write your phone number under your birth date
11. If you think you have followed directions carefully to this point, call out "I have"
12. On the left margin of this paper add 69 and 98
13. Underline your name at the top of the page
14. Stand up, turn around once and sit down
15. If you currently have a job, write "Yes" under your phone number, if not write "No"
16. Now that you have finished reading carefully, as instructed in sentence 1, do only sentence number 2. Then turn your paper over and wait quietly until the test is finished.

...............done it?....LOL AT QUESTION 16!!! well, pretty much the whole class fell for it except like 3 people. I was the first person to talk out loud haha, i feel pretty stupid :] after that, we filled out and application form and signed it....nobody read the contract we signed (except sally, but she signed it anyway) and it said "by signing this contract you agree that you will be paid one dollar per hour"...WOOPS :D hahahah. alf told us stories about how he became a job skills trainer and stuff, hes hilarious. we role played out sexual harrassment and what an employee can do about it AND HIS WIFE WALKED IN HAHA :P the whole day was really fun, wish we could've done more yesterday instead of waste it on watching videos =__=

oh and go youtube charlotte nicdao, his daughter's an amazing singer :O

careers week

so boring O__O we watched random videos about work experience and did the occupational health and safety test. looked through the job guide, only the creative section looks fun. at this rate, i'm choosing out of doing: photography, makeup artist, cooking, musician, music teaching, psychology or something at the CSIRO. tomorrow we gotta dress as if we were going to a job interview, psh. i dunno what i'll wear actually O__o shall figure that out later :]

period 5 & 6 was awesome, just house arts rehearsing. we ran it through in front of mr hall (the closest person you can get to mr g from summer heights high :D) who said it was the best performance out of the 4 houses he'd seen so far!!! we added a keychange for a final chorus to "my island home" and claves, a drum and a cabasa (the shakey thing...finally worked out the name of it :P) the dance looked awesome to me, and the acting is great as well...dont even TALK to me about our instrumental =_______= jamie sounds SO GOOD and we're SHITHOUSE at the moment. hopefully tomorrow morning's rehearsal will be better or i'll CRY >=|

silly.

can't believe i just downloaded firefox especially for blogger. for some reason safari won't load the login box, so i thought i'd try out firefox :] it works, all is good. i like safari better though...not sure why.

things are going good, had speech night & rehearsal on friday. the rehearsal was fun...not the rehearsing part, but the afterwards part :P laser wars with 13 people + 4 randoms :D and our group lost. hahahah, but i came 2nd to min this time <____< wasted 40 minutes waiting for andi & stuff from scotch afterwards...and hardly stayed with them, we were all complaining like crazy ahahah. bought a diary from urban (9 DAYS TO GO!!) which was a rip-off ($15.40) but it's cute and lockable :D haha

saturday was actually fun, we had our chinese school concert :D viv's group were SO GOOD, i reckon everyone was close to tears when it was done (tamara was :P)...our group were prolly 2nd best :P i hated how the teachers had to hold up a microphone the whole time, it ruined the part where johnson hit brian on the head with a book =__= he had a mic in one hand and a broken arm on the other, so how the hell was he meant to hit him...LOL. i felt like an idiot though. gotta wear shorts under skirts all the time or i feel naked...ahahah

went for a bike ride after that...i wanted to ride to the city with dad but he uses my bike and he doesnt have a spare helmet for his oooold bike. i rode around the park 120938120398 times after he got home, the park is SO BORING. i think i rode for about half an hour, then i just sat down and watched people playing cricket.

i seriously have nothing to do. so serious that i might go to the library and park again and its freaking 31 degrees :D ...sunburn and skin cancer, yay =__=

first day back =/

last day of hols was great, i got a new pair of shoes :D black keds with a rainbow at the top and at the back *loves* new shoes always hurt though, i hate that...and theres a little strand of something poking out on the inside that spikes my foot, but oh well *lovesloves* also bought a fossil watch for my piano teacher as a thankyouforteachingmefor10years present, its pretty much a jumble of brown circles joined together. i love it and would have bought it for myself if i hadn't already got myself a watch :P also got steph a swarovski necklace, its a pink heart with a tiny yellow butterfly dangling from a brown ropey thing :D she was so eager to open it she dropped the whole thing on the floor LOL. but it was all good, and steph completely deserves it. WE SHALL BE GRADUATES TOGETHER YAAY

so today was the first day back at school. i got excited about having no maths, but my day was ruined when i found out it was day 7 and not day 2 =/ DIANA'S BACK!!! which is AWESOME. and we've got a new korean international student called Irene i think :] we have a new song for house arts which should hopefully be okay...it's called "My Island Home" by Christine Anu...no acompaniment though..i hope it sounds good =/ orchestra was a shithole, we played the mozart symphony for a WHOLE FREAKING HOUR. and ms barnes was confused why we still accented the 4th beat or whatever...WELL WE'RE FREAKING TIRED. 10 minutes on the queen medley, no fair. plus my teeth are SO retarded cause the elastics have pulled my overbite into an underbite. grr

erika's back from japan, she has a macbook too :D hers was only AU$1300, and her memory is twice the size of mine. gah, australias so expensive. and she has some board game thing on hers that i dont have? but i love mine to bits :] go chess! rofl

LOVE IS ALL AROUND MUSIC VIDEO FILMING

(copying this straight from RLCL/RLF)

wellll, aiden and i got there at 11:30 ish, raining on and off and destroying his hair :P ricki was in a rug under a tent, wearing a yellow dress and gold wedges...we got to watch them shoot the first 10 seconds or whatever (the slow intro part) and then they went off (probably shooting the rest) for....3 hours? LOL

then came the part with all the extras where they picked out some of us to walk around and look happy :D the woman was like "would you like to be in the clip?" and i got excited....but she was only talking to aiden...AND she said "do you mind if we use her instead of you?" but oh well, i'll get over it next millenium :P hao got to walk with a random girl and hold hands with her 120938120983 times LOL

they spent ages shooting that part, we had to wait around for another hour or so until they got out the "crane" (which isn't very big) to get a shot of ALL of us dancing around badly and embarrassingly...the guy next to me danced so hard he fell over lmfao...then they picked out a couple and they got to run after each other doing cute things while ricki sat on the grass singing (with socks on ahhaha). i was pretty much ready to leave, when they got us out again for some more bad and embarrassing dancing =/

overall, it was less exciting than i expected, but it was really cool to watch how they film a vidclip
.........a highlight was when a bird shat on me =__=

holiday updaaate :]

2nd time round (2 days ago), i went with juls & min to see superbad. we're all old enough but the problem this time was that min didn't have an ID. she tried buying concession, but no. the hilarious part was that i almost got her to use her passport :] juls brought her concession card, which doesnt have her DOB on it, so we yet again failed at watching superbad. but that's okay cause im seeing it with lisa on thursday which means 1) SHES OLD ENOUGH and 2) SHE HAS AN ID. graahh

we ended up watching ratatouille in halfpipe, which was AWESOME. a room with beanbags in it, 3 people to a bag. we just zonked out and watched the cutest and one of the best animated movies i've ever seen. soooo comfy, really didn't want to get up after it finished :] afterwards we just went around central doing the usual girly things. when juls left, we went to myer to look at electronics and stuff :] people kept hogging the wii/guitarhero (THE GUY WAS THERE FOR LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF O__O)/playstation. went to the cosmetics place to play with mac and look for mariahs new fragrance, but i couldnt find it...stupid daisy by marc jacobs was everywhere though.

and yesterday i went with susan and steph to bridge rd for more shopping :] bought cheap things (shorts and a top, $15 for the two :P), and finally found a plain ring...err, three rings :] thick, medium and thin. the thick looks crap with the other two, so i don't wear it...hopefully i can get away with it at school?



love.
