I'm A Rockateer

Remember how Vaish and I went to Women In Science day at Macquarie Uni? Well there was something we were gonna present at assembly but the next one is term 2 week 10 so I'll just let you guys in about it. Theres this condition called Synesthesia. Its motherfreaking cool and I'm not sure if I'd like to have it because you'd seem a freak of a genius to everyone else but just the different way of thinking is amazing. Anyway, it's a condition where you don't see things the way they are, for example; the words SYNESTHESIA may be in different colours or in numbers and that is how you read, perceive and remember it. You know those extraordinary people who can multiply 384655191 X 395756288 , and get the number out in a few seconds? I BELIEVE THEY HAVE SYNESTHESIA!! All the numbers are in colours and just make a formation in their brain, and all they have to do is read off it. Well, that's my prediction.

This week hasn't been such a good one and I haven't been feeling my best, but that's not because I'm sick- (btw Im almost better!) So I was on the train yesterday and took a few wrong turns, literally, because we took the train going to central instead of epping, but when we got to epping, had to wait for 15 mins in the underground platform where the silence is deathly. I had a bit of time to think that every emotional journey is like taking trains- you can always go back to where you want to be, it just wont be too soon :D So I'm sorry if I've been a bit scratchy lately, you definitely be seeing a more cheerful me tomorrow.

Avril Lavigne was performing on sunrise this morning and I thought 'Oh it'll probably be What the Hell cos that was her most recent hit'. But it turns out she's promoting her new album by performing a song that was a hit 3 years ago. So she performs Girlfriend. Seriously, What. The. Hell. Anyway after her performance, there's an ad break and Hungry Jacks has a stunner? deal for $4.95 and the ad features a guy pretending to be on 'Who Wants to be A Millionaire?' and instead of taking the 1 million, he takes the $5. Then the narrator goes 'you never thought $5 could mean so much blah blah blah..' And I thought, wouldn't you WANT the million dollars cos then you could get exactly 200 000 stunner deals, instead of ONE? IS THAT IMPLYING THAT JUST ONE STUNNER DEAL IS ENOUGH? What the hell man.

You know what song I have on replay? Rockateer by Far East Movement.

Thirsty

HOORAY I GOT A NEW BLAZER TODAY!! Its a size 14 ( 85)  and second hand but whatever, it was only FIFTY BUCKS! I decided on keeping my old one cos the lady said it probably wouldn't run that much because of all the badge holes LOL. So now at home, I have four, yes FOUR blazers including this new one cos my brother had 2 of those furry ones which are yucky. And since it's so old, it looks quite like Hogwarts Robes D:  Yes, you can tell me that I'm a noob cos now I have another problem, my jumper is a size 18 and its a bit tight under the size 14 blazer ==

Oh and I'm really psyched for musical because it means I have a reason to buy make up products! DID YOU KNOW there are special brushes for your eyebrows? And theres also some kind of 'glue' to set them? Totally gonna experiment with that ^^ I was watching bubzbeauty channel on youtube and one of her tutorials reminded me of women who draw in their eyebrows. So being a little crazy, I took one of my mums pencils and filled in mine ( cos I hardly have eyebrows) and..umm..drag queen much =S

My dad is having an endoscopy tomorrow and he can't eat for a day and a half, and has to drink 2L of this yellow cordial looking thing. I remembered that he had this done a few years ago, and I came home from school UBER thirsty, so I looked in the fridge and found a 2L jug of this stuff and started drinking it myself. And I drank A LOT of it-practically a quarter of the jug in one go. Little did I know that this was STOMACH CLEANSING BOWEL EMPTYING fluid and OMG ASDFK.
A similar incident happened like last year when I was in my mum's surgery. The receptionist was a diabetic and she had to keep one of those poppa juices in the fridge in case she went hypoglycaemic. And I was thirsty after school, so I boldly took that poppa, thinking THAT'S MINE and drank it. I don't know what would have happened if she fainted or something. I'm a bad child aren't I?
Anyway, point is: if you see something that looks irregular or just out of whack, DONT FRIGGEN TOUCH IT. IT'S NOT YOURS! Even though I was so bloody innocent, I could've caused something so unforgivable.
Cool experiences to learn from.

Anyway, I think its time for some shut-eye. I don't think I'll be playing sport tomorrow =( but I'm sure us cricketers are zone champs WOOT. And Vaish can you get rid of the sparkly trail mouse thingy?

Life Is 'Totally Awesome'

^A totally awesome reference to a totally awesome youtube series.

And wow, but -  don't judge - its hilarious!:P

EDIT: Don't read below if you've just had a crappy day. (and I hope it gets better?)

On the internet because I totally felt like blogging  and because I am on a post high from stuff in life not-sucking (:
1) My lost phone has been found and identified (: I HAVE A PHONE. And I dont even have to go pick it up, my dad volunteered to :D

2) My teeth arent screwed for all eternity :D Long story. But this is goood (Y)

3) Something cool happened. Thankyou thankyou thankyou amazingly nice parents! Was completely expecting a no, and I wouldve agreed if it was a no, but they said YES which is amazing (: (I realise I'm being fairly vague here . . )  Love those random moments when your parents are WAY-too nice.
4) After Wednesday, I'll have a life! Yes, this brightens my day.

5) I ran today. You have no idea how good running feels. And stretching.

No downers - well there probably are but Im too estatic to be thinking about them :D

Gods, I love that feeling of having a good day.



^ Wow, I am so full of it :L

hummm- sorry D:

Rewarded

OMG I was watching Ice Age and all of a sudden 'Send me on my way' by Rusted Root ( its a song) came on in a scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuV2agQPgps. HOLY WHO REMEMBERS THIS SONG? Anyway, I tried doing Earth Hour- I really did. I was in the kitchen watching Get Smart on my laptop and all the lights were off. All of a sudden my mother storms in and rages WHY ARE THE LIGHTS ALL OFF? Before proceeding to turn them all back on again. As I said, I tried.

Anyway, today I stayed at home to do all the work from school and I did work the entire day surprisingly ;D But my day just got better when my mummy came home with a little present for me ^^ She bought me a pack of pentel metallic pens and pentel pastel pens. For those who don't know, THOSE BEAUTIFUL GEL PENS IN TWO DIFFERENT THEMES! And like a little girl I took them out of the pack, only one at at time, tested them with my signature then put it back, in its exact place- because you know, you wouldn't want the order to go out of whack. Wow, I really haven't been acquainted with Gel Pens for a long time..nor with receiving a present from the rents o.O

At musical, I notice that the chorus isn't loud enough at times, but just before the 'can can' bit with the big arm wave, every one goes 'da na na na na na..et.c' and if I am correct, it's not even supposed to be sung ;)

Good Luck to all the AG people, DO US PROUD!

Stomache

I am sick. I hate being sick. I friggen friggen hate being sick. As Emily Blunt says in the devil wears prada, 'it's like death warmed up'. I hate waking up to that disgusting feeling in your throat, then sitting upright only to readjust that throbbing in your head from the side you lay on for the last 7 hours, to the centre. You then begin to blow your nose. Not just once but several times it takes you to be able to remotely breathe again.I notice that I always take 2 tissues when blowing my nose - it's a habit I've always done because I feel that one is just too penetrable.  Eating breakfast aint that bad, but brushing your teeth is. Because I can't bloody breathe. Ever so often you stop brushing to open your mouth as wide as you can to gasp for air and your throat feels all hot because you're taking in all that minty freshness of the toothpaste. And after a few minutes of brushing, you're almost breathless. And your morning has just begun.

I pack what's left in the tissue box in the car and try to run to rollcall, but my neck and back is all stiff so it seems as though I have some sort of limp. First period I managed to do some chem work and make a trip to the canteen for eucalyptus drops. By the end, it feels like the end of the day. In maths, particularly, I go out to blow my nose and I realise that I really can't blow my nose in front of someone else. I find it awkward and difficult, and must always walk out of the room. When people greet me, they can tell I'm sick from the look of my face. I feel feverish, lazy and have no ability to concentrate. I develop a stomach ache throughout the day and all I want to do is go lie in the sick bay. But I can't because I know I'll definately fall asleep and its not good for wearing contacts. Besides, I get headaches after sleeping in the day time-not worth it at all. You know what I find really gay? When one of your nostrils is blocked and the other isn't. Then, when it comes to blowing your nose you need to press the unblocked side.

I sit at eastwood station in the sun. This is not convenient when you don't have a tissue with you, for the heat of the sun causes your nose to run once more. Sniffle sniffle sniffle.  I manage to get a tissue about an hour later and yet again 2 tissues ain't enough. But then again, you don't want to blow too much because your nose will go all red and dry up like a prune. Screw the prune and forget the redness, you need to blow your nose. When I get home, I have a hot shower so the steam will clear my sinuses. That, my friend, is one of the most invigorating experiences I've had all day.

Pruned

OOFT PEER SUPPORT CAMP was wonderfluous! Let me cut the long story short: We got there all pumped and instant nostalgic memories flooded back to me as I revisited the place I had my first high school camp four years ago. Since we had to time to spare, it was off for a BUSHWALK D: For some reason, they kept stuffing us with cake in between main meals, which got my tongue feeling all weird. I was hoping for water to drown out all the sweetness and instead we got cordial, which made it worse =S. ANYWAY I jumped off this platform on a gum tree in vertical challenge which was quite the cool and I felt like I had set an example for my kiddies. The highlight was of course the WATER SLIDE. Dom and I originally didn't plan on going and what I found awkward was what to say to Yr 7 boys who don't understand a 'I can't' from us when they asked why we weren't swimming. In the end, we gave in to temptation and went on the waterslide IN OUR CLOTHES =D Our last activity was to build a raft from barrells and wooden planks cos this activity replaced the broken Giant Swing. It was pretty fun except for one argumentative kid and the fact that we capsized twice XD OH MAN I'm gonna be so sad there's no more sessions with them, I feel like their mother ^^ At night, we watched edward scissorhands and here and there I heard references to 'human condition' but the best part was staying up till 3.30AM chatting to my roomies teeheehee. Boy I hate that feeling of being dehydrated, I feel like a shrivelled up PRUNE =(

I find it ironic that I had this curious, perceptive moment when I was on the water slide. You know how acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of velocity, well, is there such a thing as the acceleration of the acceleration?? O_O Like is there this concept that measures the rate of change of the rate of change of the velocity? So basically can an object get faster, faster? Wow that just sounded so weird.

Rebecca Black, all I have to say is that you're an intelligent girl. I mean there's songs for the colours of the rainbow and the alphabet and of course a poem remembering the number of days in each month. But there doesn't seem to be any good old anthem for recalling the days of the week (or part thereof), until now :D


 You know what song I really like now? 'Coming Home' by Diddy ft Skylar Grey

Enlightenment

You know, I find it incredibly stupid and a bit annoying for a person on facebook to go 'Hey who's this?' when they've been added and don't personally know the adder. Their name is directly in front of you! If you've accepted them as a friend then you've obviously considered the fact that you probably know them. I think the correct terms would be 'hey where do I know you from?' ^^

Lately, I've been so caught up on work that I realise I haven't been shopping in a long time =( And you always know you need to buy something when you've spent 70 web pages looking through clothes! My favourite colour right now? KHAKI! Yes I know..why khaki? Well it's Autumn now and I think khaki just completely suits that theme of change, especially when it's teamed with brown :D
OHOH and my phone came back to life after a day, like the backlight of my screen flickered and stayed a light for a while, but now it's in darkness and looking through things is extremely hard. Referring to my previous post where I said that I couldn't stop my phone from turning on, and I had to leave it downstairs overnight so I wouldn't hear it. I realise that I could actually take the battery out T_T


Have I mentioned that this rain is wonderful?! And no this has not been instigated by all that romantic poetry, I've just always loved the rain. I love waking up to the sound of rain and it's just that pitter patter.. so invigorating..it tends to send me back to sleep! I'm that weird that when it pours, I walk outside with an umbrella and just stand there looking at the grass..the trees..and I have no idea why, but I actually like feeling cold to the point of shivering. The only thing missing is a yellow pair of gumboots, which will nicely complete the scene. Well, looks like that's going on my shopping list for tomorrow. And my dad's going back to malaysia on wednesday so I'm hoping we'll go out for dinner then too. 
Till then
xx

Very Alarmed

Oh gosh, I can't believe what a big noob I am. My phone broke, again. And it's my fault. The juice of my salad must have leaked out into my bag and spilt into the screen of my phone, so now the screen's just black and I can't read texts properly. The faintest epileptic glimmer of screen backlight completely amazes me as I attempt to read people's texts at lightning speed. When I got home, I used some logic and whacked out a hairdrier and blasting it at full fan speed, tried drying up the inside of the screen. I know, I'm a noob- how could that work? The screen's still black but the music still plays which means I can still receive calls :D But the on off button doesn't work =S Just getting a quote from the phone company is $30 and after that, I assume the total cost will be around $100.
And still, theres so much liquid in the phone mechanism that it keeps turning on and off even though the red button is completely damaged. And I'm getting quite sick of the nokia welcome ringtone. So I had to put it downstairs or I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. This is not looking good =/

Oh and speaking of noobs, that tiny kid who tried bullying the bigger kid and had it filmed.When I first saw the video the newsreader said 'the smaller boy's friends had it filmed for him' and my reaction was :D 'WHY DOES THIS SMALL KID HAVE FRIENDS?'. So it turns out that the small kid was actually the bully. Boy, you got owned beyond owned. 

By the way, my dad forgot to pick me up today. Yeah, I'm feeling a bit unloved at the moment because I was the only person by 3.45 =( And now that I have no alarm clock for tomorrow since my phone's dead, I'm gonna have to use a normal clock. My dad used to put the alarm clock right in my face, making sure the speakers were next to my ears just to get me awake. And they're one of those asian alarm clocks that are so loud you'd jump at the very sound of it. Then I'd hit the snooze button and pull out the batteries and hide them. But that's not gonna happen tomorrow. I'm gonna put the clock in my bathroom so I'd have to get out of bed and walk across those deathly cold tiles to wake up. How scchmart!

OOHOOH this weekend, Vaish and I are going to renovate the blog a bit. You should be excited ^^

Confusion

OMG I just found this awesome website with awesome clothes that I totally want to buy! Its asos.com and some of you may already know it but wow the clothes are beautiful :) Wow I need to shop more. 
So my goal this week was to sleep at a 'PM' time, not an 'AM' time and this is what happened.
Yesterday, I fell asleep at 7PM in front of the tv and that was quite ironic since I was watching a program about point blanc shootings and cold blood murders and woke up at around 7.30 pm. Naturally I went into bed and slept there for another 6 hours before waking up at 1.45AM. Being quite delirious about what the hell just happened within those few hours, I had this sudden realisation: I did not brush my teeth. I'm a bit OCD about not brushing/flossing teeth before I go to bed so woke up to do so and could not go bad to bed. Now I read an article a few days ago that you should never play with technology when you're trying to sleep ( mind that insomniacs!) and being the ignorant I am, completely disregarded its worth. What did I do? I started texting.
But suddenly, I had an epiphany for my 2U creative piece and leaped out of bed at the very thought of it. Yes I know I'm a bit of a retard but it's taken me ages to find inspiration for it and finally I found some. My story is about unrequited love and I know it may sound corny, but I'd like to think I filled it full of perplexity and deep thought :D

I ended up not going back to sleep because HOW THE HECK do you sleep when you've written a beautiful plan for your essay AND I needed to do my Garden paragraph. OH YEAH this is what got me annoyed. And I blame this on writing it at 3AM in the morning. I thought 'The Garden' was a romantic poem because of all that nature stuff but turns out ITS METAPHYSICAL! GARRH so after writing the most beautiful paragraph on how it's romantic, I had to write another one on how it's metaphysical!
I was already confused about the time of the day but this just made me even more confused. Right now, I've been awake for 23 hours and I don't plan on making the 24 mark just yet.
So when you see me walking around looking slightly quizzical, remind me of the time of day-for it's 12.03AM and I feel like taking eating breakfast.

Time is of the Essence

Hello my lovelies its been a while since my deep and meaningful posts and thats because the deep and meaningful part of me was on hiatus ;D And it still sort of is. Anyway, I was just going through my stationery drawer the other day and I found a bottle of 'Impulse Party'-the purple one, from Year 8. For those of you that don't know, it's deodorant. So I took the cap off and put my nose to the bottle and suddenly, I was brought back to the good old times of year 8. It reminded me of after school movies, staying up till 3am watching tv and chatting on msn for days on end. It's funny how certain smells bring back memories and now I'm scared to use it all up because in my brain, that would parallel with losing all those fun times =/ So ima keep it and one day, open that bottle as a reminder :) Oh the essence of time.

Today we went to the Women In Science Day at Macquarie Uni which was amazing, especially the guest speakers. One of the guest speakers went to these caves in Indonesia to dig up a skeleton of 'The Hobbit' which was one of those thousand year old half human half monkey looking things. Most of the panel there spent 12 years gaining a couple of degrees and Ph.D's and eventually became Uni lecturers and to be honest, I think I'd rather spend those 12 years to become a specialist.

Anyway I was desperate for a drink at the break so I bought a berry slushie. Now the girl who gave it to me said that the blender wasn't working properly and that would explain why I could only finish half of it in 40 minutes. By the end of the lunch break I was frustrated by how long it took me to drink the slushie so I tipped the cup upwards and out of the blue, THE WHOLE SLUSHIE COMES POURING DOWN MY FACE! Instant thought: Glee.
So after we went to macquarie for some girlie time and OMG Lovisa had a 2 for $10 sale!

Yesterday I tried making aloe vera cream. Yes I know you can buy it but I decided if I make it myself-theres a good chance there'll be a greater amount of aloe in it and at least I know I'm not putting any
funky chemicals on my face. So I did. I went out into the garden, cut off the best looking slice of aloe plant and mixed it with some nivea face cream. I must say, the result wasn't too pretty but what was pretty, was the feeling of my skin after. Wow I just used 'was' three times in the same sentence =S

And while I'm on the topic of time, I have so much work to do and so little time. Yes, Time is of the Essence :D

Saturday 5th, March, 2011

THIS IS VAISH :)
I think I've kinda decided to come back to blogging permanently x)
(this craze will probably die in a few weeks - i suck at sticking to these things. kinda like news years resolutions . . )

Todayyy was FUN. But Exhausting-with-a-capital-E

Woke up today and realised it was my brother's birthday. I swear, youre sibligs grow up so fast :( Was only yesterday he was an annoying 8 year old brat D: But anyways, even though you dont read this - HBD (:

After realising, did the customary happy birthday crap and then left for DANCE. I think I loathe having dance in the morning, even though 8:00isnt that bad a time to wake up - I miss my late saturday sleep-ins D:

Came back exhausted again, and then confirmed from Bea that we had MUSICAL REHEARSALS. Freaking Helll D: Saturdays are so tiring now :(

On the way driving, I was telling my dad about stoping distances - and then he started merging in front of this car, to see if it would pull backk D: so mortified ;__;. The person who owned the car was droping their kid off at MUSICAL D: Hope they didnt see me, my dad was laughing his head off when the car actually dropped back 25 m. Asked him why he didn't do the same - the answer was NOT comforting D: ''Well' I focus on the car three cars in front of me, so if they stop, I know the car in front of me will stop at a certain time''. Asked him what if the car infront decided to stop for no reason (not due to a slowing down in the roads etc).

''Then you hit them. And then you get out of your car and hit them again, for being stupid enough to stop for no reason.''

And now I'm more freaked than ever. I swear I'm going to fail the stupid DKT D:


* * *


So went musical, where Lena quickly taught me the Charleston . If you don't know what is it, ask anyone who does musical. And they'll all rage at you D: Its basically a jig / dance thing, where your legs are continuously moving and your arms are also moving, and its just a bunch of exhausting movement. And I rolled my ankle doing that, fmlll D:

After that, taught the girls the 'They Boyfriend' dance - its so flouncy. And we're so ditzy. And desperate :/

Couldnt escape the feeling people are going to hate us(choreo's) after the hand movements for the Charleston were put in ;____;



* * *


Going out the for little-bro's dinner thing for his birthday. The assholeeee, is getting so many presents - I swear my parents are so willing to buy him $200 headphones, and a b-ball hoop, and clothing, and whatever the hell he desires O:

The Poem ' The Garden' Is Not Marvell-ous At All. The Guy Shouldve Lived In A Freaking Apartment.


^this is so true
laters (:

An eye for an eye

Oh bummpity bump I am watching Forrest Gump! Seems like a really good film too :) Ok the following may seem like I'm overreacting but I hate the feeling of having a puffy eye.Damn I gotta sleep cos my eye is infected and mother bought this cream which makes my vision go blurry for a little while, so I'm literally like this =.= Anyway since I did believe in the miracle of sleep, I decided to go to bed earlier yesterday hoping that patch of redness around my left eye would disappear. This did not work out AT ALL. I woke up- and you know how you usually open both eyes when you wake up? YEAH? WELL ONLY ONE OF MINE OPENED! This happened at around 7 am, a time when I'm still dead to the world, but knowing that only one of my eyes is opening got me jumping out of bed.
I looked in the mirror and let out one of those stifling morning groans when I saw my eye looked even puffier and it appeared like somebody had punched me. Not only that, on the inside, there was some yellow pus thing hanging off the inner lids ( I KNOW YUCK!) and they were pretty small but I felt like an ogre just staring at it. So I checked it up online cos apparently its called a 'stye'. I google imaged it and realised that pictures of eyes staring at you is scary. Yesterday, it looked as if I had some nice pink eyeshadow around my left eye but today was the epitome of disgusting.I picked at the yellow thing and it hurt. Like hell. I wanted to scratch it off so badly but it wouldn't go away.

After this, you realise how much you dislike eye lashes. When you wake up in the morning and try to get the sleep out of your infected eye, the eye lashes do get in the way quite a fair bit. And since I'm always in a rush, I want to pick the sleep out but I'm scared ill remove one of my eyelashes along with it which is totally not worth it. Eyelashes, you can go die.

And now its 10.30 and I'm going to sleep. Please let this episode of shut-eye be effective.
OH and I just found out that Royce and I go to the same hairdresser in Chatswood. To the same person too o.O What a coincidence.

Note to self: Calm the heck down.

musicall2011'

putting this up cause i told people i wouldddd (:
THIS IS VAISH BTWS (:
im back ?
yeah :L


Choreo's this year are: Me, Mielz, Anu and Lena! (:
Congrats to everyone who got a part in the musical!
Our musical this year's called 'The Boyfriend'
Synopsis belowwww:


In the Villa Caprice, or Madame Dubonnet's School for Young Ladies, Maisie(Abbi) and the girls live with the maid, Hortense(Sandra), and Mme. Dubonnet(Emily). Hortense orders a costume for "a Miss Polly Browne" and Maisie and the other girls (Dulcie(Linly), Nancy(Jenny), and Fay(Kerry)) sing the sarcastic "Perfect Young Ladies" with Hortense. Polly arrives and tells everyone about her made-up boy friend who is "motoring down from Paris" to meet her for the upcoming carnival ball, and sings about "The Boy Friend".

Later, Bobby(Matt) surprises Maisie(his girlfriend) and they dance to "Won't You Charleston With Me?" Polly's widowed father, Percy(Sun), then arrives at the school to discover that the headmistress(Mme Dubonet - Emily) is an old flame of his. They sing "Fancy Forgetting" to rekindle the spark. Polly, though a millionaire's daughter, feels left out because she is the only one of her set who does not have a boyfriend, and she needs a partner for the fancy dress ball.

However, when the errand boy, Tony(Michael), arrives to deliver her Pierrette costume, they are immediately attracted to each other, and sing "I Could Be Happy With You." Later, they meet at the beach (after the chorus number "Sur La Plage") and sing about "A Room in Bloomsbury". they then kiss and decide to meet at the ball.

Meanwhile, meetings transpire between the comically flirtatious Lord Brockhurst(Ray) and the rigidly mannered Percival Browne, as well as Lord Brockhurst's pestilent wife Lady Brockhurst(Nana). Percival Browne and Dubonnet then sing "The 'You-Don't-Want-To-Play-With-Me' Blues". When Polly goes to meet her new boyfriend on the promenade, Tony's parents--Lord and Lady Brockhurst, who are passing by--recognize him; when he runs off, it is assumed that he is a thief. The act ends on a sad note.

At the ball, Bobby and the three boys propose to Maisie and the three girls, but the girls reply in unison that "we'll let you know at midnight" and everyone dances to "The Riviera". And with a catchy tune, Lord Brockhurst sings "It's Never Too Late To Fall In Love" with the flirty Dulcie, after which Lady Brockhurst catches him. Polly, still depressed, talks to Mme. Dubonnet, and they sing "Poor Little Pierrette".

Tony later arrives at the ball and takes Polly by surprise. He asks "May I have this dance, Pierrette?" to which Polly replies, "I'm afraid I can't dance with a stranger." He then kisses her to remind her. Polly and Tony forgive each other and find out that Percy and Mme. Dubonnet are getting married.

The clock strikes midnight, and the girls unanimously say yes to the boys' proposals! The last scene has everyone dancing as soon as Bobby, with the last spoken line in the play, asks "So how about that Charleston?" The show ends with a reprise of "The Boy Friend" and "I Could Be Happy With You.

SO EXCITED (:

Insatiable

Im desperate. No I mean I'm desperate to find a new blog skin. I wont sleep until I find one. It's that feeling that you need to complete something before you hit the sack or your shut eye will be disturbed by the thought of not accomplishing something important. Just look at the skin- its a freaking DEFAULT SKIN! GARRH! Anyway I was at Woolworths just two days ago, when I realised- what if the checkout person doesn't know what a particular fruit is? I mean say you want to buy a pomello and the person thinks its an orange because who the heck buys pomellos? And then oranges so happen to be a few dollars cheaper than pomellos? KA-CHING INSTANT SAVINGS! Supermarkets need to invent a machine that determines what kind of fruit/vegetable is scanned or money could be pouring out of their very pockets, quite literally, under their noses.

Maths was quite interesting today as we thought about curve sketching: you know how there's a horizontal point of inflexion? Who's to say that there's no VERTICAL point of inflexion? Imagine that and you'll see :) ALSO ALSO! You know how you find, say two turning points? I was thinking-instead of testing the concavity about each side, why cant you just say that the maximum occurs when the y-value is greater than the other y value, and the other y value is the minimum? Ill explain it better.
(x, y) and (x, y+a) are the two turning points. Wouldn't the co-ordinate with the y+a be the maximum since it's larger and the one with just y, be the minimum since its smaller? But just then, I figured you'd need to test the concavity because if the concavity is zero then its a possible point of inflexion ^^ I love it when you solve things out yourself-and how I saved myself asking Alder and of course the subsequent shame XD

All of a sudden, I had this memory come back to me. You know when you're a kid, people think you can't understand what they're talking about just because they're 'adults' but did most of you find that YOU WERE SMARTER THAN THEY THOUGHT? WELL I DID! I remember some of my mum's friends talking about me in, shall I say, more sophisticated terms, and all I wanted to yell was 'IM RIGHT HERE! IM IN YOUR FACE! YOU SEE ME RIGHT?!

OMG Beastly-starring alex pettyfer, vanessa hudgens, neil patrick harris, mary-kate olsen. Its a new movie reflecting Beauty and the Beast. I NEED TO WATCH IT! Hmm 'A text of your choice reflecting the human condition' Hmmm. Oh and Alex Pettyfer, you look amazing even though you play 'the beast'. OH IM DESPERATE TO WATCH THIS!
