Okay-blogger isn't actually stuffed up like I thought it was o.O So after musical rehearsal today, I went to eat at a chinese restaurant and what really gets me is when an odd couple starts staring at you. Like you have something on your face. I reach out to grab where I think my phone is but it wasn't there so I asked mum if there was something wrong with my face and she says no. At this point, anger starts to swell because the couple start whispering and looking at me at the same time and basically giving me the dirty. I am on the verge of losing it and think maybe I should say 'MY FACE AIN'T YOUR FOOD SO STOP LOOKING AT ME!" but I contain myself- I calmed my farm. So I then picked up some will power and stared back. I didn't give the dirty, just stared back. I tell you- it was hard. In fact, very hard. You think they're trying to intimidate you but in all honesty, there reaches a point where this intimidation reverses and you become in control of the staring competition. I picked up my chopsticks and ate a piece of chicken while still staring at them. Just keep staring and I tell you, they eventually stop :)
I also saw the most abnormal thing ever- there was a dare I say, about 6 year old kid playing with an ipad. I'm sorry but I think that is just weird, abnormal. Not healthy for a six year old. And he was taking luvos D: Kids are growing up too quickly.

Compare the Pair?
AOINDSIFISNOIFDIS I find my maths teacher quite the scary. So we talk a bit in class right and all of a sudden he gives you this glare and moves his ears as well as his eyebrows !!! I SCREAMED INSIDE OF ME AT THAT! I swear I was about to make a dash for the door. I'm coming to like Mr. Alder's SHUT UP's a lot more...
Oh I forgot to say- I bought this marvellous satchel from Forever New last sunday. So I was walking in the store in the hope of finding a coat which my mother sorta wanted me to buy :D because I've been getting sick too often, and out of the corner of my eye, I spot a beautiful brown satchel. It was the last one left and the first bag hanging off the racks so it was practically screaming BUY ME. And so I bought it.
SO had athletics today and our awesome Jones Relay team - Alex, Annie, Yun and I are disappointed at not coming first (came 2nd) but you gotta:
Anyway, this Saturday is the dress rehearsal for musical and I thought today that I should probably go out and find some pair of T-Strap shoes. I went Target in Carlo court cos it was the closest thing to school and I figured I'd probably never wear the pair again. So my dad picks me up at say 3.15ish and I go buy the shoes and get home at 4pm. THATS 45 MINS TO BUY SHOES AND GET HOME!!!! See my question here is: was I just not putting enough effort into choosing the shoe, or was I just being an efficient shopper? Usually I'd spend way longer choosing the shoe then going around several stores to 'compare the pair' but I guess Target's limited range left me with only one option. I was so close to going Chatswood today to find the shoes but I'd probably end up not finding a decent/cheap pair and getting a haircut instead.
OHH and you know how I had this saying- OIOIOI TOUCHY TOUCHY!! Well people told me that guys don't actually say that, but in phys the other day Richard was talking to Mr Khoury and all of a sudden, Mr Khoury goes 'TOUCHY TOUCHY!!'. See, told ya it was a common saying ^^

All loss of innocence
Since exams have finished, I've had a lot of time to think about myself. And I really think it's important to have this chance once in a while to just chill the heck out. You know what I'm scared of? I'm scared of becoming someone different and I'm shizzing myself at the fact I may be wrongly influenced. At the moment, I do like who I am but it's scary to know it's easy to take a bad path. Remember those innocent kids in primary, whose facebook photos you recently stumbled upon and you thought 'how did I know this person?' It's quite like that :S
Alright, D&M session over. I freaking LOVE making words with my maths angles. So basically heres what I mean. When theres an angle called SBA, I'd look at the letters I have and try make words, so instead of saying angle SBA WHY NOT CALL IT ANGLE ABS!!!! I dont only do this for the fun of it all but I find it actually helps me memorise which angles to use in the question. Whenever I'm doing geometry, I usually say the angle without pronouncing the letters. Eg Angle NAO- usually people say N. A.O but I say "ANGLE NOW!!" So I noticed a few other words that usually can be made like D.A.R. or "DUH" as I like to call it or angle L.J.K which I've come to say as 'LOL JOKES". OH and the best one of them all would have to be angle A.W.K which I call THE AWKWARD ANGLE :D
Wow I totally don't waste time in my maths exams. OH you know what I hate?? When questions have a lot of 't's in them because I often get mixed up with + and t . AND X and Y's!!! OMG don't you find it such a big timewaster when you write angle XYZ and when you're about to write the Y, you have to stop yourself continuing straight through (so it doesnt become an X) ??? Please maths teachers, stick with the A's and the B's and the O's.

Its your future. Do the Maths
That was the tag line at UNSW today. So we arrived at the centre after about half an hour of being lost and received a goodie bag with a few pens, one of those huge plain pencilcases, a fold up cube and a cup which said 'it's your future. do the maths'. And then I took a look inside the cup, and there was a stressball. LOLLOL. Anyways, I'm not sure if it's ever happened to you, but have you ever found your finger randomly bleeding? Cos mine did today and I didn't notice until there was a drop of blood on my sleeve and I looked at my finger then... "OMG THIS ACTUALLY HURTS". I couldn't stop it bleeding either..
So I was in chem class right and I see Crystal outside my room waving to me. She looked so damn cute standing there with her sniffles so I gave her a cute smile and waved back. And then all of a sudden LISA WANG comes running past screaming something along the lines of 'LJ IS HOT?" and she doesnt realise there's a wall right in front of her in the direction she's running SO SHE CRASHES INTO IT. Bahahaha it was so funny ..and loud I thought she crashed right through.
OH NOES I think new Mr Alder is once again going at lightning speed D: NEVER MIND. I'll turn into Flash for tonight and finish all those trig/auxilary angle/circle geo sheets within a matter of seconds. And those 40 pages of phys dot point. Watch me do it. OH WAIT you can't. I'm just too fast.
Wow

Dumped On
So the reason I haven't posted lately is because I wanted to see how the results of my fringe dilemma turned out and I figured, it's probably gonna stay at 10:9 so now I'll have to make the decision myself. After musical. Most likely I will keep the side fringe because I love that feeling of swishing your hair to the right to get it out of your face, when secretly, you want it to keep doing that so the swishing never stops :) I also realise, I quite like tilting my head to the right side (where my fringe is) when I walk around- it's that whole 'how you carry yourself' thing.
So I wake up this morning and I walk into the kitchen. And I see an empty dumplings bag on the bench, and a massive steamer left on the stove, so I naturally think OH YAY MUMMEH COOKED ME A BOX OF DUMPLINGS!!! In my moment of excitement, I skip to the fridge and open it, only to be greeted with a half filled container of exactly FIVE FREAKEN DUMPLINGS!! WHAAAT!!! I COULD DOWN THAT THING AS A PRE-SNACK! So that's where this whole competition thing started. So I asked Chris, Adrian and Yip how many dumplings/won tons they could eat. They said FORTY o.O And then somewhere popped this idea of having a competition to see who can eat the most number of wontons. And the person who could eat the least, i.e. LOST, would have to firstly drink all the soup in their bowl then do as many pushups as dumplings they ate. MUHAHAHHA EVIL CANEVIL! Woah that is like death if you lose.
Oh and we lost in basketball today =( Quite the sad. But we got our english marks back and I'm pleasantly surprised by what I got- because usually I bomb essays and do good in creatives but my results say I'm better at essays. And this goes after I didn't know what paradoxical meant. And I realised a few days ago that my hand has become a bit funky when I write-guess it's cos I haven't picked up a pen since halfies.
My lesson learnt this week is that boys represent the human condition more than I thought: complicated and paradoxical =D

BROMEY
It's really awesome when you have a new saying, and I've picked up the "OI OI OI" that boys say when punchups break out. It caught on to me as Rach and I were on the train on Friday and we tried being real bro's shouting it pretty much the whole journey. And to make it believable, you gotta be straight with it-like fully point at something and SAY IT WITH CONVICTION. The other sub saying we caught hold of was 'touchy touchy' meaning 'hey you've crossed the line. you've entered sensitive territory' or basically, 'this is a sensitive topic'. We thought that guys meant just that when they said it but apparently it's meaning is rather physical LOL. So the new saying here is 'OI OI OI, touchy touchy' meaning 'woah woah woah, sensitive topic bro'
Alright, gangster moment over. I really want a haircut. But just the fringe-at the moment I have a side fringe but I don't think it suits my face so I want to change it to this:
In the reactions bar below, give me a :) for this haircut or a :D to keep my current side fringe. OR any other suggestions just go to comments. THANKS!

Crossroads Camp!
Year 11 camp was by far the best and funnest camp ever (: And of course I say that being completely biased, since I'm still on post-camp euphoria but seriously it was amazing. And I don't use that word lightly.
OKAY quick recap mainly because I want to be able to look back on this day and remember it in stark clarity, all the funny moments, the smiles, embarrassment, DSLR pics and singing at the very (very) top of our lungs (:
Warning: largely ramble-y of camp - this blog is kind of a memory-of-my-year-recorder so its in excruciating detailll!
When We First Got There:
and we got sorted into groups and whatnot. Group11 (:::! By far the bestest and most favourite group: Me, Joy, Shazz, Lea, Eileen, Alex, Marco, Marcus, Adrian, Saj (Peter?), Suraj, Royce, the completely wonderful and stunningly spectacular Kiran Kancherla :), and the seriously cool and totally amazing Richard Kim (: Went to this seminar / talk thing about perception - and while people thought the talks were lame I actually quite liked this one. Especially the sheet that gave you an emotion, why you are feeling it, and a way to resolve it --when feeling frustrated, be reminded of your purpose and direction, your decision to do what you are doing that is making you so frustrated. At one point you chose to take on this challenge so the frustration will eventually be worth it and that is what gets you through - well thats how I interpreted it anyways (:
After Some Challenges:
THEN, and I say this then in a significant and important manner because it is significant - we met Jake. Who was this cute instructor who I had this conversation to about my DSLR (leen noticed that he had really nice legs - && he was cute LOL) And he was telling me how to use the functions and he NAMED my baby! [clarification: MY DSLR camera - Lenny :) ]
Significantly Embarrassing Moment 1# :
Burgess and St Louis walk into our cabin whilst singing and Leen is changing her tops, and give us the strangest stare. Not mortifying but was relatively unexpected and disconcerting, and embarrassing as heck! Bloody hell :(
The Only Bad Camp11 Moment:
This woman speaker on drugs, I swear to god klzdjfslkdxfjd. Bloody hell! She spent the entire time . . . talking to one side of the room. And whilst this may seem small, somewhat unnoticeable, it made paying attention almost impossible. I mean we sat there, for about 2 hours (felt like it anyways) and she wouldn't even look our way! I was completely fuming at her lack of public speaking skills - And was literally begging in in my mind to get one of those annoying ''evaluation-of-the-speech'' forms so I could write ''Shame your intentions were good because only half the hall heard them. Please try not to ignore an entire right half of the audience next time, its called public speaking?''
ERGH. Pissed me off massively, most irritating thing ever >(
THANKFULLY, we met JAKE AGAIN :D He was our instructor for our funnest activity along with this other guy Tom, who was so talkative! Both CUTE :) And Tom really easy to talk to and fun , whilst Jake was more of a silent but cute type :) And both with slight ( kinda noticeable) accents! Went up to flying fox and Jake was there and went 'Okay 3,2,1 close your eyes' and I was staring STRAIGHT into his eyes because seriously, they were really nice and he stared back :D Lol okies stop fangirl-ing haha :) Then we took photo's of everyone, mainly Adrian and Saj and their 'candid' photo's. Posers :P But hey apparently its natural? You judge:v
ANDDD:
Embarassing Moment 1#: Bloody hell, Marcus Gold. You are insane.
Okay, so we'd been trying (all the girls) to get subtle photo's of the two REALLY cute instructors and taking stalker pretend-photo's of other people whilst zooming in on them really. And apparently half way Jake noticed, (how embarrassing!) because he kept avoiding the camera! And apparently we were completely unobvious because the guys noticed. Since Tom was easy to talk to I got one before (with his permission!) but Jake was quiet so it was impossible to ask him for one (Though in hindsight - I probably just could've asked). But we didn't get our shot with the instructors when our 'Group 11 shot/zoom in on the two cute guys' plan failed. So Marcus, being the genius he is, goes to them and decides to open his big fat mouth and mortify us all, by saying:
''Okay so here it is. These girls have been trying to get photo's of you for like 2 days, and they really want one so seriously we need one of you. They've been taking stalker photo's for ever (At this point we were cringing in embarrassment - Lea actually stumbled!). So yeah, can we just have one? ''
SO. EMBARRASSING. I don't know whether to kill him or hug him - because we ofc got the photo after they went ''alrighttt..?' But AW I felt so bad - Jake was the one who was telling me how to USE the DSLR! And now he knows I was using it to take pictures of him! Us five were fkjsdfkldsj !
I was mortified! Was blushing through most of lunch at the thought of what happened! But I haveee to admit it . . .THANK YOU MARCUS GOLD :) Did the stupidest and nicest thing ever right there. Thankfully, Adrian and Saj started admitting how much they wanted a photo of the instructors too in an attempt to save the complete shipwreck so it was less awkward but they knew why, and we knew why,and we knew that they knew that we knew so sooo . . .kfjdlkfjs! Most embarrassing situation ever I swear D:
Heres the result of Marcus's meddingss:
We then got on thebus and went home, haha.
So, all in all it was one of the best camps ever :D Funfunfun!
Night all!
If you stayed with me this long, I am officially impressed :)
PS: the 600 DSLR photo's have been uploaded on facebook, and some are here. IF you want the rest, do soe massive fb stalking or just ask me!
vaish

They've been taking stalker photo's for ever (At this point we were cringing in embarrassment - Lea actually stumbled!). So yeah, can we just have one? ''
SO. EMBARRASSING. I don't know whether to kill him or hug him - because we ofc got the photo after they went ''alrighttt..?' But AW I felt so bad - Jake was the one who was telling me how to USE the DSLR! And now he knows I was using it to take pictures of him! Us five were fkjsdfkldsj !
I was mortified! Was blushing through most of lunch at the thought of what happened! But I haveee to admit it . . .THANK YOU MARCUS GOLD :) Did the stupidest and nicest thing ever right there. Thankfully, Adrian and Saj started admitting how much they wanted a photo of the instructors too in an attempt to save the complete shipwreck so it was less awkward but they knew why, and we knew why,and we knew that they knew that we knew so sooo . . .kfjdlkfjs! Most embarrassing situation ever I swear D:
Heres the result of Marcus's meddingss:
We then got on thebus and went home, haha.
So, all in all it was one of the best camps ever :D Funfunfun!
Night all!
If you stayed with me this long, I am officially impressed :)
PS: the 600 DSLR photo's have been uploaded on facebook, and some are here. IF you want the rest, do soe massive fb stalking or just ask me!

Believe in it
There's this theory of things being true unless proved otherwise. Is it right to believe that? This image inspired me. And it pretty much tells it all.
Lost all sense of direction
So I had coffee today. A caffe mocha. A mocha caffe. Whatever you like, it has coffee and chocolate in it. Damn I'm so high. It's not funny. My mind is racing and I'm feeling so happy. Is this another episode of this weird mood disorder I'm having at the moment? Even my dad thinks I've gone crazy and he's one of those stoner dads who don't seem to notice a whole lot. I started singing in the car on the way home to his weird chinese music I'd never be caught alive listening to. This is what caffeine does to you, does it not? Ellejai, have you not learnt anything from camp? I don't know if this is a good feeling or not but it's certainly interesting.
Okay, off to see who's in the final two for America's Next Top Model and find out who's prom king and queen in Glee. OH this night is off to a great start.
Oh man, I really wish our english exams used tumblr images as some of the options for creative writing.

Open Up
Okay I've got something to admit. Now I would prefer it if you commended me on my bravery for admitting this rather than judging me on how crazy it was but anyhow, here goes:
In Peer Support Camp in year 7, I brought my maths book and a few past papers.
Hmm yes, call me crazy but I actually thought I'd use that 'extra' cabin time to do maths papers. I didn't end up doing any, but I do remember opening the book up at least XD Ahh okay now that's off my shoulders, it's come to my realisation that what I post about is quite concrete, sometimes sort of deep and usually a bit weird. And I like it like that. But I've always found myself reading other people's more emotion ridden blogs and I thought I should probably open myself up a little bit. So here's a few things you probably didn't know about me :)
1. I sleep on two pillows- not one on top of another, one behind and one half ontop half off the first pillow. Alright I don't think that made any sense. You know that 'Z' piece in tetris? KINDA LIKE THAT 8D
2. I pick sultanas out of my cereal because I think they're too sweet.
3. I have a memories box where I keep sentimental things and birthday cards.
4. I sleep next to a stuffed bear and a stuffed dog. One on either side. For protection ^^
5. I smell my food before eating it. Hey, you know, what you taste is directly related to what you smell so basically if you're not smelling anything then you ain't eating very tasty food.
6. My lips go red quite easily!
7. I hate the feeling of hating that you like someone TT It plays with your head too much.
8. I laugh when there are awkward silences :D
9. I love it when people openly express how they feel. It doesn't make you weird, only human.
10. I have moments where I'm in the middle of a situation and I suddenly think of some heroic feat I pull out and I save the day. Oh wait, there' s a word for that, daydream.
Hmm there'll be more to come ;)
Ohman I gotta talk about masterchef. I think those judges are biased. So theres a guy called John ( he has a unique voice) but I think he's one of the best cooks there. And theres another guy called Alex ( the dude with black earrings). I think they're both amazing but they didn't make it to the top 24. And yet, the judges put the Rib Eye Steak guy through-who cooked a rib eye lump of steak one and a half times the size of my face on a plate and it was raw. So raw the judges couldn't eat it-it was like carnage on a plate. And he says it was how he usually ate it (awkward silence, cricket noises). Oh and the girl Sun-she got in too. I cant remember her cooking ability but she always looks kinda worried..and dull. OH THE IRONY! This season I want drama on the show. Something 'SCANADLOUS'.
OMG WHO REMEMBERS 'RECESS' -the show on disney channel!!!! And the Ashley's who always chimed SCANDALOUS AHAHAHAHA". Oh wow I think I just found a new tv series to watch

Dear Gravity
See, I told you this would take another post at least. OHH THE PHYSICA EXAM! Okay so I was in the car on the way to school in the morning. For those that live around north rocks/carlo, you know that street off Pennant Hills Road, opposite the Carlo High street, with all the roundabouts and hills? Well at the top of the hill with the traffic lights, yes I know this is very specific here, there was a tarago van and the lights were red. All the cars were waiting for the lights to go green and the tarago infront of us decides to hit the reverse instead of just keeping the brakes on. Now we're halfway up the hill here and she's a comin' down the hill with absolutely no idea she's reversing, or shall I say falling, and I reach out to horn her (repeatedly) yet she still comes a rollin down the hill and bangs into our car. I wasn't really scared at that moment but I was angry. I mean a car comes rolling down, the driver unaware, and just smashes into your car. My dad steps out of the car and goes WHAT THE HELL and the driver just says 'I dunno'. It really got my blood pumping.
And then comes our physics half yearly and the third question and about a million other ones talk about cars rolling down the hill or cars smashing into each other. This isn't a good sign. At all. However, I did have a good answer for explaining the usefulness of crumple zones :D
And in the wise words of Sheldon Cooper:

Flight of Fantasy
Let's put it straight down-I haven't blogged in a very long time. I think I'll need several posts for all the word vomit in my head. And I must say-it's been playing with my head a bit. As you may like to know, I have made some progress with becoming a superhero :D I was watching an episode of Americas Next Top Model and one of the girls had this awesome crystal attached to a chain - sorta like a long necklace. Now this is no ordinary crystal-it's a special type of crystal that if you hold it still over a living person's body, it will begin to rotate continuously in a perfect circle. It's supposed to detect those heat/shock waves from you're body, which in turn make it move. Awesome. Now I shall track down one of those crystals and hold it over the villain's body (once slain) to see if they're really dead.
Anyway, I think the real progress I've made, is how observant I've become. I was at epping on friday after exams, and I noticed this guy in a cap walk strangely down the escalator. He walked towards a girl sitting on the ground and started talking to her before sitting next to her. By her body language, it was obvious that she didn't know him and I spotted his dodgyness before he even made contact with her. First thing with superhero's; be observant and aware of your surroundings. Don't fall into traps but keep your cool-remember they aren't people that cause unnecessary harm. They ain't trolls :)
Well let's see what's happened in the week of our exams: The Royal Wedding, Death of Osama Bin Laden, and Arresting the murderer (uncle) of the Lin family. But I wont talk about that. Closer to home, it is apparent and I say apparent at this stage, that Mr Alder is leaving =\ I'm sure a lot of us would be very sad to see him go but he has been threatening to go for ages now and I'm thinking whether this is the final straw :(
Now my summary of exam week ( and this is my attempt at one of those picture board things XD )
So I walked into english thinking let's own this and when I saw the question, I'm like 'WHAT'S PARADOXICAL??' I actually didn't know what it meant. But you know how the english language goes-break down a few words, do a bit of association and you've kinda got the right idea flowin'. And so I did talk about the irony of this humanly disease we have and how it's just so complex. Then came chemistry and I thought it was pretty okay.
But then came to tuesday with physics and economics. OH how I underestimate the power of PHYSONOMICS! I shall now talk about eco since it seems to have a bit more drama to it. So I looked at the paper and I'm like:
And that question on 'how do governments employ a price ceiling?' And I thought;
AND then it came to maths. OH de matematica. That parallelogram question in 3U made me:
But then I worked from the answer, backwards. OOFT THE GENIUS INSIDE ME CAME ALIVE. And I was like:
And at the thought of learning how to differentiate 3 to the power of x that very morning, I thought:
And by the end of exams, I was galloping down the street pulling moves to my favourite musical numbers like I didn't give a thought to how weird I must've looked 8D And went off to the city with eileen rach will daniel chris and kaichen to eat k bbq YAY :D while unlucky mod people kranked out their history. Exams are over and see those sunnies in the above picture? They're ray bans and I found them on my shelf just then.
Let's have the best time at our last school camp. Continue the tradition and don't sleep. If you have any truths you haven't told then now's the time to tell. It's gonna be one hectic camp, I hope.

HBD
Happy (late) birthday Alex, Saj, Shelley and happy really early birthday to Has lol :)
Sooo was bored and decided to look around and read about the USYD vs UNSW debateee:
USYD seemed to rely on its prestige a lot of attract students, and whilst more social, apparently UNSW is better for education and learning. UNSW however is regionally linked, whereas USYD has links internationally - great for getting a job after university apparently? USYD also has competitions, extracurricular activities whereas UNSW seems a lot more isolated (from what I read / found)
However, for med kids UNSW is the only option sooooo fingers crossed I make it (:
HALFIES ARE OVER :D
We technically haven't been to school for a month.
Happy birthday Saj and Shelley for the 5th (:
Have a cupcake (::::
Hope you love your Prouds necklaces Alex and Has (:!
