The Weekend

Hey there all.
I haven't written in a while because blogger was being mean to me. Don't you just hate that!
Well on saturday I went to a kitchen tea. They are such fun things... I feel sorry for boys cuz they miss out on them... but then I'm sure they aren't that interested in opening lots of presents and playing games which involve kitchen utensils. One thing we had to do was make up advice for the girl getting married... my favourite piece of advice was:
"In the kitchen, you can't go wrong with Canton."
Thats something for all of us to remember. kekeke.
I also had my orchestra concert on Sunday. That was fun. The wind ensemble played the theme from Austin Powers. Our school band should play that. It sounds really good on the brass. Auditions for the orchestras is on 1st Dec for strings and 8th for woodwinds and brass. So if you are interested ask me about it. It's a kick orchestra (western youth orchestra).
I worked today. It's getting hotter and hotter. But I think I finally have the hang of it. But I'm not quite sure about the family feasts and 21 piece bucket (it's hard cuz you have to count and pick special pieces at the same time).
Tomorrow it's supposed to be 42°C. I hope I'm not working... I don't think I am. I want to go to the shops to buy last minute schoolies stuff... like swimmers and face wash. OOOO it's exciting! Can't wait!

p.s: try KFC's new dessert... it's yummy!

Ulcers, salt, beauty, pain and cumquats

WOW! Over 300 people have visited this blog. Thanks for all coming and posting comments.
Did my audition today. He said it was good enough. So that's good. Just have to wait on my UAI now.
What else interesting has been happening? OOOO I know now...
Has anyone every put salt on an ulcer before? I just got an ulcer from not drinking enough water so I put some salt on it cuz ulcers heal quicker when you put salt on them. EXCRUCIATING PAIN! But it was ok because after about 10 seconds your mouth goes into shock and you can't feel the pain anymore. Beauty is pain (even though the inside of your mouth is never really that pretty... like the underside of your tongue looks really gross).
Well I think I've blabbed on for a bit now. As soon as anything good happens I'll let you know.

p.s: cumquat with salt tastes good

ooo I just thought of something interesting! Casey won idol! That was cool-ish. Poor Anthony looked devastated... but we didn't need another boy band singer so it was cool. But do you think that Casey is going to be that popular???

p.s: that red dress looked really bad on Casey as she walked up the Opera house dress.

Happy Happy Blow Hole

Went to kiama on sunday and monday... gee that was fun... NOT. The highlight of the trip was getting 5 more hours of driving done. I only need 7 more hours till I can go for my P's. yippee!!! Getting back to the holiday... who goes on a holiday to sleep on the couch? Me apparently. And who goes on holiday with 6 people 20-40 years older than you?
Yes well... what else do you wanna hear?
Got my audition on thursday... what song should I sing? I was just going to sing a carol but that would seem corny.
Bored...
from Car-O-Line
p.s: the Blowhole is a funny name for a natural monument don't you think?

Stuff that happened today... ooo the Apprentice

I'm busy busy now.
Worked today. That was ok. Getting to know the people now. One problem is that I don't really eat at KFC so I'm trying to remember how many pieces of chicken to put in what box and what type of chicken to use. It's quite confusing.
Then when I got home I was stinking hot and had a headache cuz it was hot. Then mum got all pissy at me because I hadn't organised the music for my accompanist (I got an accompanist!). So I quickly called my contacts and got the music. So mum just kept quiet after that.
Then I taught violin and it was so damn hot! So we had to move to under the fan. Once that was over I watched Kath and Kim... very funny (as usual) and now I'm watching the apprentice.
So I'm a lil preoccupied at the moment. Cya!

p.s: hmmm can't think of anything... too preoccupied

Aims and (opposite of aims)

Today I had my first shift in KFC. It was different... in that I have never scooped potato and gravy and I've never put corn in plastic bags. I have used one of those squirty water things before though (no it wasn't just a hose... it's like high pressure). I smell/taste potato and gravy now.
I got home and started to download the episodes of The OC that I missed... which reminds me... it's on in 30 mins! So I have to type quickly.
I tutored reading today. My girl was reading this book to me and it was like a poem... I had no idea what they were going on about. So after she read it I asked her if she had any problems with it. She said she didn't so I was like "Ok, onto the next one." Kekeke. I'm such a good teacher. Which leads to...
I got past the questionaire and I'm going to do my audition for UNSW on 25th Nov. I should really ring my teacher and ask him what I should play and who should accompany me. I'm so unorganised at the moment! :: runs around aimlessly, then decided to run around aim-ly but doesn't have aims ::
Sadness... It's going to take me 2 days to download The OC. Grrr to it not being on dvd in Australia... I could always buy it on ebay... But can't be bothered yet.
Well I'm off to prepare the tape for taping The OC. Talk to you on msn later!

Bumming and GAHing

Haven't written here in a while. Here's what has been going on:
Silvia's party - it was kinda weird going to a 17th birthday party when everyone has been turning 18. It was fun though. We danced alot. Silvy has a very comfortable desk chair. And her room is pink! Jen would be jealous. The food was very nice as well. Some amusing things were the music that some of the guys listened to which sounded like the landing on the moon. Also funny was everyone bagging out Maddie about falling into Deborah's pool drunk. We also played chinese whispers for about an hour. Lots of comments about Alistair and Bob. Also amusing was Alistair, Bob and Sanura pushing the air up (you get me?).
I got home at 12.35 so that was ok-ish. Fell asleep straight away.... geez that was a long day (violin lesson at 8am, tutoring at 9.30, picnic from 11-5 and then Silvy's party.) Oh well... I'M ALIVE!
Who watched Singapore idol? That's right... Singapore idol (on the net). I watched at my friends house. It was the one where there were 4 people were left. Guess what the theme was... chinese pop! Yes it was funny... one of the judges names is dick lee.
Today I bummed at home. Sent off my questionaire for BmusBEd at UNSW. I got a big feeling that I'm not going to get in since my audition is not this thursday but next thursday. So I have to practice heaps and heaps. GAH!

p.s: I don't even have an accompanist yet... does anyone know a good one?

Blah blah stuff

There is a big chance that I wont be writing here that much now. Yesterday I went out with Hazel and I bought this really cool diary. It was only 15 bucks! And it was like my dream diary: Hard cover with padding, handmade, bamboo paper. Oooo it's so exciting. I have to finish my other diary now so I can write in my new one.
I signed out of school today. Kinda weird.... still don't know what to do now hahahaha. Hmmm how do I explain the feeling.... it was..... weird. Lol! (I just repeated myself... opps!)
I had KFC orientation today. It was very boring... and the pants are so high! argh! Meh I don't wanna write. Tomorrow I have a bbq with the family and then going to silvia's 17th. It's weird going to a 17th when everyone is having 18ths. Geez lil silvy is so young.
From Car-O-Line
p.s: we aren't going to have a proper bbq... its more like a picnic with asian food.... so much asian food!

Please! No more food!

I went out today with my aunty and uncle who have come over for a visit from Malaysia. Asian relatives are so funny. In the true Malaysian spirit, we went out to a restaurant for lunch (Very Nice Chinese Restaurant.... yes that was it's name!). It was quite nice. We ate a lot of course and I was very full. On the way home I was stuck between my mum, my aunty, my cousin and my uncle. They were very loud... I wished I had ear-plugs (did you know that people from Hornsby Girls wear ear-plugs during their tests???). Then I got the lecture:
Aunty: "You are going to start uni now, start looking for a boyfriend. Make sure he is clean. Make sure he can cook and do the laundry. Start eating asian food otherwise you will never find a nice asain boy. You should also try and learn cantonese and mandarine...." etc etc etc.
Yes it was funny... My mum is like "he should be christian too"
My aunty was like "oh yeah that too."
Then we ate again at a restaurant for dinner. So once again I'm really full! And very proud of myself that I ate almost everything at the restaurant except for the scallops and red bean soup. I even tasted crab! It wasn't that bad.

p.s: who's up for ice-cream???

Fun at the Barker residence

Woke up at 12 today, had breaky and then had lunch at 4 and then had dinner at 7. So I'm quite full now.
I went through my wardrobe today and found all this really cool material so I made some new boxes for summer (nice pink and white) and then looked at all my other material and discussed all the different things I can make. Making stuff is fun.
I also got out my cross stitch which I think I will start doing again too. I started it in February 2001... so as you can see I always start things and don't finish them (unless it's sewing... sewing is good).
We had a guest for dinner. She is chinese and has really bad english so she doesn't talk much. So she just basically came, ate and left. I was pondering going to bowling late but I don't think my parents would let me. Another reason why I should get my P's. So I watched Aussie Idol and Queer Eye. Watching tv is fun.
So it's all fun and games at the Barker residence... I should organise a party. With a theme. I tried to get Silvia to have a party with a theme but she didn't want to. Parties with themes are fun (especially if people dress up properly to the theme). I've already got a costume to wear for the theme I want to do. It's exciting!
Everyone is going out... at night. Why don't they go out during the day? We all just bum around at home during the day so we should make use of the time! Plus there is good tv on at night so why would you wanna go out so late? Grr... I'm getting a job so I need to go out like now! During the day! I should call people.

p.s: I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to earth, I know not where.

Talking about...

Went to the beach today. It was much nicer than last week. Very very sunny and a lil warmer water. Also more people went so it was more fun (the more the merrier).
Still on the water theme... I have sunk low (and let me tell you it's very cold in the deep end). I got a job at KFC. How unusual is that?! I didn't think I ever would but I think my mum was getting desperate to get me out of the house during the day so she asked her friend (who is a manager at KFC) to get me a job. So I have one now. So now everyone has to go shopping with me.
Talking about going out... I'm pissed off!!! I can't go bowling tomorrow *tear* cuz we are having people over to dinner. How boring for me and how fun for my friends. I need my P's! I need to get out of the house and drive places! But I need a cd player in the ute.
Talking about cds, I just got Jet - Get Born. It's a really awesome cd. They have good music. All the songs on the cd are good. Better than the music at Alistair's party.
Talking about Alistairs party, I heard that a lot of the guys got seriously pissed (Adam throwing up!). Silly guys, except for Bob, who was smart enough to stay sober and video drunk people! I wanna see! (btw Alistair didn't get drunk either... but you all knew he wouldn't)
Talking about things I wanna see, who wants to go to the movies to see The Notebook, Bridget Jones Diary 2, Anchorman, Dodgeball, or anything else that's on that's supposed to be good. Take me out!
Talking about going out... I'm out of here!

p.s: the word panties came into American English in 1845 and for a long time signified undershorts for males. They weren't regarded as a woman's article of clothing until 1908

events...

Last night I went to Alistair's surprise party at Bob's house. It was pretty good. Soccer was fun... just wished that I wore jeans and proper shoes! hahaha.... I have this phobia of splitting my toenails kicking a soccer ball. Luckily that didn't happen!
So what else happened? Well there were like 40 packets of chips to start off with (large packets of chips) and I was like... "we are just eating chips?" So I ate quite a lot of chips. I also got major sugar boost from the soft drinks which is why I played soccer in thongs. Then later on in the night.... 20 pizzas arrived... I was like "I'm stuffed already!" But there was still a lil room. Kekeke.
Highlights was seeing Sarah do air guitar to bad music and Silvia miming the bad music (visual image stuck in my head... SO FUNNY!!!). I also enjoyed stealing the camera off Bob and videoing people... Seeing Gordon drunk and dancing.... kinda scary actually.
I had to leave early tho... violin lesson... so I missed out on other eventful things... but Bob spilled, so it's all good.
I gtg now

The Beach Kicks!

(Hey Jen... The beach kicks... get it??? hahahahaha)
Hello everyone
I've decided that I'm turning into a beachie. People from my church to to the beach every sunday and I also went to the beach today.
I went to sculptures by the sea. An arty-farty thing that has been going on since 1997. It is very nice. The sculptures are cool and interesting and pretty. I really liked the elephant, the thong bottle and the postcard from Tamarama. If you are wondering what on earth I'm going on about... Go to Tamarama and Bondi Beach! It's worth it. And don't forget your sunscreen. The sun is very powerful!
Hopefully next time when you see me I will have a nice even tan.
I think that a nice walk was just what I needed to get back into the free from HSC/celebrating feeling. Just looking at all those nice houses along the beach and the pretty waters, now I can't wait till Schoolies!
In an attempt to not lose my mind and go completely crazy I have started to read a book called "Made in America" written by Bill Bryson and basically it's all about how the Americans got their language and their accents and why they have weird spellings (their leaders couldn't spell so they just stuck with those spellings). So now I don't feel so stupid (Only in America).

p.s: $12 for fish and chips is way too much!
