ADRIAN: DOROTHY you are almost as old as DAD!

Thanks Adrian.

So. Um. Today celebrates the day where the world became a little bit less wonderful.

Thats right, the day I was born.

Thank you to those who wished me happy birthday, and thanks to those who gave me amazing gifts which I did not deserve at all :]

I had a normal day I suppose, but I loved it all the same. My family and a good dinner at home, where we ALL ate around the HOME DINING TABLE *gasp* It is rare that we all eat at the same time. It was wonderful ♥ And the photos were heaps funny too.

so.

So, on Friday I opened up my first bank account.
Pretty intimidating.

Youth started again yesterday, *yaay ^_^ * and somehow my two.. friends... invited themselves and came quite late. Embarrassing. But nice all the same.

Hair cut ._. Even though many people have *forbidded* me to get a straight, asian, fringe, I did so.

Jessica: OH. EM. GEE. You look so ugly, man, like, I can't even believe you could get this ugly, gosh, ew, why'd you do that? Urg, I can't look at you. So ugly. Gah.

I love you, Jessica ~ <3 You get to look at me every single day :D

Well. I lost my mobile phone. [It was going to happen one day] I got my mum's old one, and mum's old number. I went around telling everyone my new number and getting everyones number again. Then. Dad tells me that he got my old number back. Great timing Dad. No, I am not going back to my old one again. Too much hassle.

~

As I am sitting on the bedroom floor, lying on my stomach, I feel very happy that I have somehow managed to clean my room in such a way that allows me to walk and sit and lie down on the CARPET. Oh. And. Why is the carpet the same colour as the walls O.o [thinks] Because its the creativity, right?

today was a fairytale - taylor swift.

Today was a fairytale

You were the prince

I used to be a damsel in distress

You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

I wore a dress

You wore a dark grey t-shirt

You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You've got a smile that takes me to another planet

Every move you make, everything you say is right

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

All that I can say is it's getting so much clearer

Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around

Yeah yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around

I can feel my heart

It's beating in my chest

Did you feel it?

I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

[another photo in tomorrow's exhibition]

But DADDY-KINs said I wasn't allowed to go! [heart-breaking] This is probably the only opportunity EVER to see my own work in an exhibition in the city, something that is so so cool.
*sigh*

paper bags and plastic hearts x]

Lots has been happening during the first two weeks of school. I've learnt about what real fear of teachers is like, I've learnt why they invented the stressball, I've learnt how hard a sponge's life must be, I've learnt the pain of being a punching bag, but also the thrill of being the punching gloves.

MYSTERIOUS RASH:

I think it was yesterday. I was studying in the library [yeah. ha ha. laugh] when suddenly my arm became furiously itchy ._. So. Um. I. Scratched it? [like any other person would do in this situation] And it wasn't long before many many little red dots were visible ._. Or maybe its an allergic reaction to studying in the library without a distraction ...

debut project

During the last week of Year 9, my photography teacher showed the class a flyer about the untitled[youth] debut project for arts XD After persuasion from Karen, I entered a few of my photos. And the most unexpected thing happened. Some of my photos were actually selected XD Since I got the e-mail, I was totally overwhelmed =] I was heaps excited to tell my sister but she was like, "...Whuh? *looks at me stupidly*" >_<" Ah well...

Cookie Crumbs x_x

First Day of School Was Not Infact As Good As I Wished It Was To Be.

WHY ISN'T JELLY AND STEFFI IN MY FORM? *hyperventilates*

MY MUSIC CLASS DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE I'M FRIENDS WITH *hyperventilates*

HOW COME VICARY'S SMILE IS SCARIER THAN HER SCOLD? *shudders*

WHY DO I ONLY HAVE ONE THREE CLASSES WITH GWEN? *screams*

SO MANY PEOPLE WHOM I HAVE NO CLASSES WITH! *cries* *sobs* Jia Yi... *falls*

school tomorrow

*quote from spongebob*

I'M READY, I'M READY, I'M READY, I'M READY...

*gets dirty looks from everyone*
*sweats*

.

HICCUP.

Hey, you'd never guess what I have right now. Oh? You do? I wonder how you knew that I had the hiccups. *suss* Well I have had the hiccups the whole day and its really really getting on my nerves. My solution? WIKIPEDIA.

A hiccup or hiccough (pronounced /ˈhɪkʌp/ HICK-up)
is an esophageal contraction of the diaphragm
that repeats several times per minute. In humans, the abrupt rush of air into
the lungs causes the epiglottis to
close, creating a "hic" sound.

Oh I get it now. Wait. What? That didn't help me at all. *continues to read* OH MY GOODNESS there was a 15 year old girl who hiccuped 5 weeks straight o_o" But hey, apparently they will go away simply by forgetting them. Hehe. [DO NOT THINK OF HICCUPS DO NOT THINK OF HICCUPS.....wait that doesnt work]

How do I sleep if I have the hiccups? What if my dreams get rudely interuppted by a hiccup? Imagine this:

I am a ...toothfairy.. flying in the night time
and I am carefully opening a window in order to take the tooth[in a non-burgular
type of way]. But just as I slide underneath the window pane, I hiccup and it
squishes me.

Disaster waiting to happen, isn't it? GAH.
..WAIT. I THINK MY HICCUPS ARE FINALLY GONE :] I feel strangely happy at the moment. Hahah. Wow. They finally stopped... *hic*

Fudge.

THE SEWING MACHINE IS GOING TO EAT MY HAND OFF D:

OKAY so the sewing machine DIDN'T eat my hand off. [everyone seems upset] .....gosh >_>

Yesterday I took a step forward to fighting my fear of sewing machines. I made a little bag which is completely useless to me, but hey, its cute :] in an un-cute kind of way. This small step made me so much more confident to make new things. I now have a goal to start making my own shirts [like my dad does.. except.. not in lots of 100] and sell them :D Although I don't know who would wanna buy them, I still want to try. And maybe like.. sell them over facebook kind of. But hey I don't wanan dream about climbing a mountain before I can climb up stairs.

I just searched up what the dictionary meaning is of "maybe".

*slaps myself*

A Story | The Broken Bucket

I found this story on the internet, and I like it very much. Please read it! [I take no credit for it]

~

A long time ago, there was a small village. In that village lived a serving man. His job was to fetch the water.Every day, he would carry two empty buckets down the long path to the river, fill the buckets, and carry the full buckets back to his master's house.

One of the buckets was perfect and would carry all the water it held all the way back to the master's house. Naturally, it was very proud of its daily accomplishments.

The other bucket was imperfect. It had a crack. And every day, the serving man would fill it to the top with water, and every day, the bucket would slowly leak on the way back up the path and would arrive at the master's house only half full.

This went on for two years. Finally, the bucket with the crack in it couldn't take it any more. When the serving man reached the river, the bucket said to him, "I want to apologize to you."
The serving man was surprised. "Why would you want to apologize to me?"
"Because," said the bucket. "Every day you have to walk all the way down to the river to fetch the water and walk all the way back, and every day, I am only able to bring half the water you put in me back to the master's house. I am ashamed."

The serving man felt sorry for the bucket. He said, "I'll tell you what. As we make our way back up the long path to the master's house, look around you. There are beautiful wild flowers growing along the path that will cheer you up."

The bucket agreed; and as they walked back up the long path to the master's house, he did look around and the beautiful wild flowers did cheer him up. But when they reached the master's house, the bucket still only had half of the water it began with.

"I was still only able to do half the work," said the bucket. "I still failed. I am sorry!"

The serving man smiled, and said, "Did you notice that the beautiful wild flowers were only growing on your side of the path? I knew about your crack all along, and I took advantage of it.
Two years ago, I dropped flower seeds along the path, and for two years, you have been watering those flowers. It's thanks to you and your leak that those flowers were able to grow and make the path to the river more beautiful, making everyone's work more pleasant."

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

BED BUGS ARE REAL O_O"

http://www.medicinenet.com/bed_bugs/article.htm

*cries*
I thought it was just something that rhymed D:

"Good night; don't let the bed bugs bite!"

THEY BETTER NOT BITE >: (
They apparently suck your blood :S

*quick inhale of air* WELL...its 2010 now...

But what happened in 2009? Not many big events happened, I suppose, but I am so thankful for every moment I experienced. The "up" times, and the "down" times too - because I always had those special people to bring a smile to my face again.

I lost many friends.. I know that very well.. But this year I am going to have the better attitude and make sure that I truly cherish everything I have, because I realise now how fortunate I am to have people who some-what care about me.

It is very awkward to go up to a friend and say "Thanks... You are a good friend..." .. because in my opinion it sounds like its a farewell goodbye as if you were to die soon o_o" But you know.. why not say it? We don't know when its going to happen... may it be tomorrow or in 60 years time.. wouldn't you want those who you love to know that you love them?

But . hey. i love you :)

Where do cows like to go?
The MOOvies.

[sarcastic laugh and very very slow clapping]

Today, I went to the movies with Sheridan, to watch NEW MOON. I promised myself that I wouldn't waste money going to watch that film, but =_= I suppose it was alright... o_o"

I'm surprised that we weren't the only people watching - I thought that everyone that wanted to see it had already seen it. But anyways, before the movie started, Sheridan entered and exited the theatre like, 3 times >_> Everyone thought we were crazy. And if they hadn't thought we were crazy yet, we were having straw fights. Halfway through the movie, that fight kind of resumed, followed by a bit of popcorn throwing.

OH and there was someone else that I knew there, so ._. LOL I'll be expecting weird looks from David the next time we meet haha ^^

After the movie, we wandered around the shops for a bit x) Gotta love "The Reject Shop" ;)

And mmm.. I can't remember anything else right now, because I am kinda sleepy ><" heh...

HUEY DOROTHY'S COOKING ADVENTURES

Today, I did the most outrageous thing...
I cooked something that was not, infact, sweet.

*gasp*

>_>"

After looking around youtube absent-mindedly, I came across a guy called "foodwishes", and I looked through a few of his videos. I noticed one about mashed potatoes. OKAY so I adore potatoes, no matter what form they are in. "The Apple of the Land" as the French would say. But I think I am getting a little off topic here... where was I...

OH so YES I made mashed potato. I didn't fail that much. Except it was kind of lumpy. MEH I'll do it better next time ;)

My mother then insisted that I cook spaghetti >_> That was really freaky. She like just EXPECTED me to know. Well, I expected that I would know too. Pasta and sauce - how hard can it get? Well, only as hard and dicing onions without crying ><"

It wasn't such a disaster, because my mum was constantly looking over my shoulder shouting directions as to what to do. Thank goodness. :)

There was some chicken stock left over, so my mum decided to make chicken and sweetcorn soup :3 omnomnom..

But you know what is really weird?! Who in their right mind would suddenly decide to put corn and chicken together into a soup >_> Crazy.

Almost as crazy as apple and pork.

And bread with chocolate.

And banana and rice.

And pineapple on pizza.

And tomato and cheese.

And coconut jam.

And tomato sauce with chips.

And pancakes with beansprouts, and fish sauce.

All of which seem normal now, or if not normal, still tastes amazingly good. But seriously, whichever person first tried to combine those foods.... =_="

OH. And also. THE NAMES OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. SO STRANGE.

PAPAYA. paw paw. [??]
POMEGRANTE.
CUSTARD APPLE [not to be confused with apple custard]
GUAVA.
ZUCHINNI.

/rant on food over

DAY 7 OF STRAWBERRY-WITHDRAWAL

I'm doing lots of things to try and keep myself busy so I don't start missing strawberry again. Its not so bad... =] Just three and a bit more weeks left :]

having lunch/dinner with family

ADULT: Do you want any fish casserole?
YOU: Um.. no thanks ^^
ADULT: I spent all of today cooking it. It's delicious (:
YOU: I'm sure it is :D But I really don't feel.....
ADULT: *puts onto your plate*
YOU: ..Thanks.


ADULT: Are you still hungry?
YOU: Ah, no, I'm really full!
ADULT: WAH, you are so skinny >_> EAT MORE.
YOU: ............................no no I really don't wanna eat any.....
ADULT: *puts more fish casserole onto your plate*
YOU: Thanks..


ADULT: Do you want any ice cream?
YOU: Um no... I actually ate a lot..
ADULT: HA! YOU'RE FAULT FOR EATING SO MUCH? WHO TOLD YOU TO OVER EAT?
YOU: >_________> you..?

Well, my first day of holidays was also my first day of work - how exciting XD! At my dad's factory, that is. It is pretty facinating how all the ladies sewing and make each and every shirt seem so exactly like the next. Whereas I find it difficult to thread string through hoodies and keep both sides the same length. See the clear difference? HAHA :)

Anyways, I actually quite like working at dad's factory. I suppose its easier since the boss can't actually fire me since he is my dad. But it is great because my mind won't slack off and it still has a reason to function.

Today is DAY 3 of STRAWBERRY-WITHDRAWAL. I think I am holding together better than expected. I have no one to stalker-ish-ly stare at during class, but thats okay, because now I am actually seeking to talk to OTHER PEOPLE. *gasp* haha ><" The last three lunch-times seemed very different without being with strawberry, but I lived, and had a good time as well. His absense made me realise that I did not have a proper social life =_= so, now that he's gone for another month, hopefully I can catch up with my friends a bit more.

But I still miss him, anyways.
