would you like a kick in the groin with that?

started taekwondo today :] reallyreally like it, though my right butt cheek is sore right now...cause you had to know and all =/

my right arm is so much stronger than my left, i feel weird and out of balance when i punch...damn tennis. min's a slacker, wanting to skip to black belt straightaway. ahahha. i want the uniform, i feel strange in normal clothes around people who are all uniformed up. this is all part of PE, but i still really wanna keep doing taekwondo, its a good way to take out emotions ahahha.

it sucks how we have to write out so many training sessions for PE. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN SUBJECT, WE SHOULDNT NEED TO GET HOMEWORK >:[

in other news I SERIOUSLY WANT A MACBOOK!!!! REALLY BAD!!! AGFHALSKDJHASLJDKH it's likely i'll get one, so that's okay. BUT HOW LONGGGG DO I HAVE TO WAIITTTT...next year =__+ at least i'll finally be able to move all my pictures, music and videos and all that junk OFF this laptop to free up space for school. plus, it'd make graphics and stuff a lot easier (or so they say)

hm, no chinese school this week and ITS MY BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY :D :D :D thanks lisa for the pressie *loves it*....school people are planning something...wait, sorry i mean BITCHING about me :P and i really wanna know what they're planning...err, i mean...saying :] GAHHHHHH!

got the braces done up again today, new elastics (no more penguins...RAMS O__o) and the guy bent the wire around to do something funky to my mouth. it canes right now, but i'll get over it in a few..days or weeks x__X

BIG DAY IN IS ON WEDNESDAY!!! YAAAAAY. totally can't wait, mostly for the fact that we dont have to wear school uniform. ugh, i really need to study for my theory exam, especially the set work (schubert unfinished symphony) i gotta know stuff about =/

anyhow, hope i won't be sore tomorrow :]

xo

UNO.

gotta love and hate fridays

i woke up and i thought it was saturday, so naturally i felt like punching mum when she said it was friday =__= plus, i forgot my diary and pencil case, which is basically everything. but i borrowed amanda's FATFAT pencil ahaha

our card game lunchtimes have morphed into this massive uno craze :D by massive, i mean it literally. 2 decks of uno cards and 12 people (i think), one game lasting for almost half an hour. record number of draw*insertcardnumberhere* is fourteen HAHA, and it was on viv, i believe. NERDS MUCH :D?? you love it. and i got a chance to take more macro shots of people's eyes, but the lighting sucked in most of them :[

julia's eye looks raddd, i love it...viv's looks really unasian O__o

yes, that's enough about eyes. haha

downloaded the annual concert recordings off the share drive, we sounded really crap to be honest. it sounds good when you're performing, but not when you hear it back. or maybe i just have really high expectations.

filled out my subject selection form, stuffed it up along the way but it should be okay :]

i've decided to do (in preference order):
- Japanese
- VCE Music Units 1 & 2
- Art2: 20th Century Styles
- Business Studies
- Visual Communication Skills

hope i get them. i'll be MAJORLY pissed if i dont do those subjects next year, none of the others appeal to me at all to be honest...

xo

just a tad silly

is it not silly for your friends to plan you a "surprise" birthday when you're right next to them? they kicked me out 3 times so they could plan it O__o oh well, i wanna know what they've planned.

annoyed that i can't go to taekwondo on monday cause of the orthodontist. i'll get my way round that. vic got her braces, i can't wait til that baby tooth thing just drops out of her mouth LOL. WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE PERFECT SMILES YAY :D <-- like that :]

had a double piano lesson ish thing, i was pretty much practicing during the lesson :P then megan came, we rehearsed our concert things, but it was mainly my shoddy piece...david came in (with a funkylooking haircut O__o) and i thought it was his dad. he said it was sounding good LOL *COUGHCOUGH*, megan's doing an awesome job THANKYOU :D

xo

AHHHH FINALLY!

I KNOW HOW TO WORK THE STUPID MACRO SHOT FUNCTION ON MY CAMERA!! YESS!

ah shut up, just cause i'm slow.

science and jap test tomorrow, so screwed.

just had information night, and more d&m with dad lmao :P it was all "i don't care what you want me to be or do, i'm doing it my way"

i think i'll end up being a psychologist/psychiatrist (STILL CAN'T WORK OUT WHICH ONE'S WHICH) or, on the other end of a stick, a top end designer or photographer :] DREAM ON SOPH, DREAM ON SAYS CONCIENCE, FATHER AND MOTHER.

chinese whispers

HAHA LUNCHTIMES ROCK HAHAHAHAHA

so for some reason we decided to play chinese whispers at lunch, IT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVERR. in our circle of people we used mandarin, shanghai dialect, cantonese, japanese, korean, vietnamese, german and italian...so we tested them out in chinese whispers :] things came out as NO MANS DICK and all this crap....ahahha.

that triggered this massive yelling match between erika and min (jap and mando) which totally didn't work, cause they didnt know what they were yelling at each other :]

julia became an egg (white on the outside, yellow on the inside) i became a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) min was a melon (...err, brainless? i dunno) and erika was a coconut (black on the outside, white on the inside. lmao) min made up a story that went like this:

one beautiful day a girl climbed up a coconut tree and picked a coconut. she went home and CHOPPED THE COCONUT AND IT DIED etcetc.

oh, all this was also happening while playing cards too. haha

xo

I LOVE SUNDAY

...BECAUSE SUNDAY'S ARE FOR DOING NOTHING :D

i'd rolled out of bed for barely 10 minutes when min called me though, asking me to lie for her (again) and say that i was going to the footy with her and hao and tan. i was pretty much saying NO I WILL NOT LIE FOR YOU AGAIN BECAUSE IF THEY FIND OUT THEY WILL LOSE MY TRUST AND YOU CANNOT GO OUT EVER AGAIN. and i was about to change my mind, but i think someone unplugged her phone line =/

but yeah, an hour something later, hao and i were texting and calling trying to get to min and see if she was going or not (i'm her favourite messenger) and it was all screwed up until she called me and told me she was running to flinders st lmfao.

that was drama number one, and it had nothing to DO with me LMAO.

had a theory lesson since i cancelled yesterdays...my god the questions i had to do were a BITCH, i finished them 20 minutes before my lesson haha. i have 3 lessons til my exam, i am so very screwed.

i washed my hair and parted it a bit more across than usual, my fringe is soooo soft right now :D

random. kbye

ricki-lee at highpoint

so after nagging viv for about a week, we got to go to highpoint today :D and we got lost so many times ON THE WAY there. we were on the right road all along, but vivs mum was reading the wrong page of the melway, so we went back...then we turned and went towards the city, went back and then ended up where we started...which was the right place :] wasted about half an hour, but it was no big deal since we got there on time

highpoint is so overrated, its not that massive...just cause it has more parking space than chaddy, gosh. it's pretty narrow and when you walk in it's...level 3 O__o so we found the escalators (which look pretty awesome from the stage) and found where we were meant to be

we bought a single for $3 (cheap much?) and a random lady came up to us and said she wanted to take a photo for a newspaper/magazine for high schools O__o so we did our cheesy posing with out CDs...if anyone sees this, let me know?

we told the security guard viv was hao's brother LMAO, cut the queue and waited for 10-15 minutes ish (for ricki to put her eyelashes on ahaha) and she came out, sang sunshine, BRAND NEW DAY (SOUNDS AWESOME) and can't touch it (click here for the vid)

went up to get the CD signed, got my photo...err, taken



that is so not attractive :D and not just me either. ahahah

wandered around, came back for no reason...talked to amy for a bit and wanted to retake my shoddy photo (NOT SILLY ENOUGH >:[) but decided against that, the security guard wouldve thought it was suss that hao was gone...

so yeah, that was basically it. took us only half an hour to get home, uncluding picking up eric from notsure :P and including losing my house. ahahha

so that's all the fun bits, im just gonna rant about the uneccessary chinese school because i can...well i got there this morning and walked past a guy wearing BRIGHT ORANGE BOARDIES LOLMOAKDJ?DHSLKJ. so i held in my laughter (kinda) and squeaked. haha. it made the 2 new guys turn around, they were twins and it was obvious, but i had no idea until the teacher said so O__o they're uber good at chinese, it makes me look even stupider. MAKING OUR POSTERS WERE HEAPS FUN THOUGH, WE HAD TO MAKE A POSTER ABOUT SMOKING. and viv, cc and i made one that said "SMOKING IS SUICIDE" in chinese, with a hangman holding a cigarette and a hangmanslover who died from 2nd hand smoke. and down the bottome it said something like "smoking kills you, and the ones you love." it looked pretty shit, but meh. oh and something amusing happened about putting boobs in a jar...

SOYEAH :D rant over

xo

subject selections

it's kinda hard to believe next year is year 10...the year before VCE. we had a subject selection briefing thing after lunch (MISSED OUT ON MOST OF MAATTTHHS :D) and it's all sounding really serious...i have a good idea of what i want to do, but i'll wait til after the information night before i pick :] next year we can choose out of:

LOTE:
- French

- German

- Japanese

VCE Units:
- Biology Unit 1 and 2
- Drama Unit 1 and 2
- Literature Unit 1 and 2
- Music Performance Unit 1 and 2

Other Electives
- America in the 20th Century
- Art 1: Exploration of 20th Century Styles

- Asia, Our Closest Neighbour
- Body In Action
- Business Studies
- Cities and Other Places
- Liberty and Authority
- Systems and Lifestyles

i'm definately continuing jap, its easier than chinese anyway, and dad actually said yes to doing jap for VCE O__o which shocked me a bit, but hey :] i'm also doing music performance for sure, i've never really done bio properly before and i might as well get music out of the way.

i like art2, business studies and viscomm design skills, but dad thinks i should kick one of the art subjects and do body in action, which to me is a mix of science and PE...so naturally i'm not listening to dad :] the history and geography ones kinda bore me (why are we doing american history anyway O__o) but i remember mrs mullins saying: "the most important thing is the world and the people who live in the world"...so yeah. i dunno :]

i really wanna to pschology in year 11, it looks like fun picking at people's brains :] and it seems a bit arty to me, even though its...medical ish.

i wish i was 12 again.

xo

hairy disasters...

HAHA *SHOUTS TO THE WORLD* I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT MIN SOMEHOW WAS PERSUADED BY HER GRAMPS TO CUT HER FRINGE AND NOW SHE LOOKS LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD KID STUCK A BOWL ON HER HEAD AND DECIDED TO PLAY WITH SCISSORS :D

to be honest, i think it looks fine, but part of the fun is just annoying her :] and the fact that she cares SOO much makes it so much more fun. its just HAIR it GROWS BACK you moron *rolls eyes* did you see me complaining when mum chopped my fringe too short? noo, it just grew back. and while you're waiting for it to grow, just clip it or experiment...it's not the end of the world dear, even though you say it is. i remember min screaming that the world was coming to an end because she had a zit on her nose. AND SHE DECIDES TO SCREAM THAT TO ME, IE THE QUEEN OF ZITS :D so smart and stupid at the same time.

YAH so the annual concert!!! nothing really major happened, the junior school were cute as always with their innocent and off-tune music making. we watched the first half, and had our interval cut short again cause we were on straight up afterwards. got my solos in tune for the 2nd time ever :D i think anyway.

the really major pissy thing that happened was that ms barnes cut the finale 2 BARS EARLY >:[ i was so angry, after all the drum BASHING i never actually did my FINAL BASH OF THE YEAR GRRAAAAHHHHHH. the cymbal was rolling and everything, the final CRASH never happened. ASDF!!!!!!! the thing is, i would never actually go up to ms barnes and vent it on her, because 1) it's like poking a tiger and 2)...it's like poking a tiger.

ele went straight up to her afterwards saying: "you finished it two bars early!!" and from what i've heard, ms barnes started crying. which is hard/weird to imagine. but after all the pressure, she cracked it =/ i feel sorry for her i guess, but im real pissed off that i never got to break the drum.

OH and i actually did my maths homework today :D and FINISHED IT. ARE YOU PROUD OF ME!? YES YOU ARE. and i bought 2 new pacers, my 3 year old pacer from japan finally cracked it (literally) and i got sick of sharpening my pencil 28371 times a day. plus, i know i'm gonna lose/break/lend to someone forever/kill one of the two pacers so i bought two :D

that is all

xo

annual concert tonight

had the all day rehearsal. it was fun until we actually started rehearsing :] i am never playing the bass drum again. i got yelled at repeatedly to play it as loud as i could AND I ALREADY WAS. seriously, me and steph just wanted to break our drums and say "IS IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW??!?!?!". but the possibility of actually breaking the drum is pretty small.

it got pretty funny though, we started imagining ms barnes yelling and jumping up and down on the actual performance night. and after the finale rehearsal, she goes SOPHIE COME HERE. HIT IT. and i WHACKED the thing. and then she takes the stick and whacks it too, no louder than mine :] and shes like.....err mr v, is that how you do it =/? i was holding back my laughter til mr v hit it, i think he blew my eardrums off x__X not just with the drum, with the crash cymbal too. if you've ever sat near either one of those instruments, i feel for you.

anyhoodle, this morning on classic fm the radio guy goes: one of our listeners dropped in an email saying "i am an avid listener of classical music and i listen to your radio station on the way to school. i play the piano and i would love it if you played some theme songs from movies such as harry potter or lord of the rings" (something like that)

....it was from a michael in year 9 O__o IS THIS YOU MICHAEL (YOU KNOW WHO YOU AREE) IF YOU EVER READ THIS? BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU :]

so thats it. shall update on how the concert goes, i bet you anything no matter how shit we are, it'll be all smiles and compliments :P
