i have decided to give up ballet.

When I’m with you,

2009-02-28T13:54:00.000+10:00

I forget everything.
Life,
Death,
Greif,
Silence,
Music,
Hunger,
Heaven,
Hell,
Emptiness,
Anguish.

It came,
A wordless winter
That choked
The white flesh
Of old memories.

But sleep now,
I see ahead of us
A seamless spring
Sewn with resurrected blossoms
And our cloudless emotion.

I miss you.

red umbrella cat

2009-02-18T19:44:00.000+10:00

today it was raining. lucky i remembered to bring my umbrella. it's red ^_^

first up was physics. we did an experiment to find the focal length of a biconvex lens. it was fun, until mr campbell started playing his billy joel music T_T omg it sucks TT____TT

anyway, min was late, but only a little late this time.
he hijacked my umbrella at morning tea on the way to chinese
then he was teasing me like 'Ryuji called me last night and told me that he found a really hot girl in sydney and she is japanese and she's really sexy!' or something.
then i kicked him, effectively evicting him from my umbrella ^^
of course even thought he was here, he slept most of the day....

at lunch time, me and bonnie were bored. we thought and thought what to do......
me: i know, why don't we hide behind a bush and jump out at people???
bonnie: ZZMMMZMM yeah! thats a great idea!!! cat!!!! *does something random*

we decided to wait in the garden around the corner from the toilets at S-block near the iron maiden (the iron maiden is the name for the scaffolding bridge thing that connects the s-block to the rest of the campus while the science labs are being built) and we were all ready to jump out at somebody. Lucky we didn't have the guts to actually do it, because the first person that walked around the corner was Miss Fazzani LOL she was like 'why do you guys look like you're up to something?' we must've looked like complete idiots standing in the garden giggling and looking sideways at eachother.

bonnie: ummm,,,, we're just going to the bathroom, yeah!
we made our escape...

we went straight to the library where, i'd like to point out, you can soak up some good literature such as:
- thesaurus
- bad girls of the bible (?!)
- cats
- toilet
- fruits basket - engrish .... !
- complete book of herbs (my personal favourite)

we stalked some year 10 girl up the book aisle. we are so stealth. actually, no we're not, she totally saw us. but anyway.... it was fun.

in chemistry, we are doing hydroponics (growing tomato plants with water and no soil).
we had to make a fertiliser mix.
everyone had yellow fertiliser
mine
was

BLUE!!!

wtf

then i figured it out. i put too much copper chloride in there hehe oops

in fact

i added TEN TIMES too much (i misread the decimel places T_T)

now my experiment is 'how does fatal levels of copper affect plant growth?'
i hope it doesn't die!

b i t t e r r e f l e c t i o n ~ my poetry

2008-12-23T15:05:00.000+10:00

The way that she slowly drops
All her petals like a crying blossom
That dies in muted summer breezes
Makes me sick in my stomach.

The way that she forcefully swallows
Thin slivers of a sour reality
And her own bitter reflection
Makes me sick in my stomach.

The way she casts so many self-centred pebbles
And sits behind a mask
That unconsciously drips a shadow
Makes me sick in my stomach.

The way that he gapes
At the narrow promises
And the gorgeous possibilities
Makes me sick
In my big,
Fat
Stomach.

only three weeks school left! not much to doo anymore except dream of xyz camp. its gonna be so much fun!
year 12s leaving on friday, im so gonna cry !!

the complete opposite to what i am thinking ~

2008-11-09T18:15:00.000+10:00

Me and my friend Izzy. We are the coolest people ever. Us rangas have many ranga powahhz which include burning fire, straightening/ironing/crimping/curling powahhz, and also giant scissor powahhz. i have eyeliner powahz also. Izzy doesn't though.
If you get too close to us, we'll either freak you out by yelling RANGAAAAAAA or burn you with our ranga powahhz. water makes our fire powahh stronger. blue fire is hotter than red fire.
We have a ranga symbol that all rangas should proudly wear. it is a small black heart about 1cm long with a red pen outline, worn on the index finger knuckle of the left hand.
wannabe rangas are "wrangas"
rangas that are failures (eg. fat, not proud of their ranganess, normal) are called retard failures. Yes, its very original.
Rangas should stay with their own kind and then mate so we can make ranga a true race.

*random multiple choice question on board*
one choice is "fire"
Izzy: FIREE!!!!
Marli: YEAH, FIRE! RANGA POWAHHH!!!!!
Teacher:the answer is fire
Marli: yeaaaaaaah! RANGAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Izzy: RANGAAAAAAAA!
Everyone else: WTF? ROFLCOPTER!
*Marli and Izzy are now rolling on the floor laughing at their ranga powahhz and everyone else is laughing at them*
Marli: heh heh we'll burn everyone with our fire powahh!

Irrational Fear

2008-09-26T23:29:00.000+10:00

Why do people fear things that are so crazy? Today, I will delve deeply into the issue of unnecessary or irrational fears. I beleive it has something to do with past traumatic events and that everytime you see that certain object, it triggers bad memories. So, I was thinking, maybe if I shared with you my fears, I wouldn't feel so bad anymore.

Some of you have known me for many years now. You may also know that I have many of these strange fears, as demonstrated by my behavior while watching the movie Finding Nemo, walking underneath the giant whale at the museum, looking at the sky for a long period of time, flushing the toilet on an airplane being in the presence of Bum Face (his name has been changed to protect his identity), a clown, a dinosaur, a piece of rock melon, a fire engine or a talking tree. Although this may seem strange, there is a reason behind it all.

My Top 10 Irrational Fears - and the stories behind them.
oh yeah and sorry there's actually only eight but top eight sounds crap, not as good as top ten.

Fear #8 ~ Talking Trees
My Aunty is a pupeteer. She does kids parties. In one of her gigs, she dressed up as a tree. If a tree talked to you, would you be scared??

Fear #7 ~ All Forms of Aquatic Life, But Mostly Whales
When I was young, my father took me to watch a harmless little movie called Pinocchio. It was alllll fun and games until Giuseppe got swallowed by the whale. That part really freaked me out. So now every time I watch a movie that involves whales (i.e. Finding Nemo), or hear some sort of whale song, or walk under the giant whale in Brisbane, I get a little shakey.

I think dolphins are evil. THEY ARE NO NO CUTE. They have sharp teeth, and they're really smart. One day they will take over the world and force all of mankind to be slaves. This thought probably just sneaked into my mind from reading too many Douglas Adams novels (it's a trilogy of five! ^_^) and past memories of Mrs Tremellon soothing dolphin noise music in year sev that she used to play during class. I HATE THAT MUSIC SO MUCH it follows me everywhere!!! Even when I fall asleep I can still hear the soft EHHH EHHRRHHs of the dolphins. Don't like fish either.

Fear #6 ~ Dinosaurs and Fire Engines
When I was still a little toddler, Mum used to take me on frequent trips to Dream World, the local theme park. For some reason they had life-sized dinosaurs that moved and made loud noises on display.It would scare any child! I was also scared several times by tsimilar displys in nearby museums. I was so scared of dinosaurs that Mum says when I saw a picture of a dinosaur I would start crying. She had to check the next page of the picture books she read to me so that I wouldn't get a suprise attack. She also had to check for pictures of fire engines because I thought that everytime there was a fire engine, it meant there was a fire so...

Fear #5 ~ Clowns
It's so cliché, but I have to admit, I really do not like clowns. My first bad clown experience was again at Dream World when I was around two or three. Goldie the clown seemed to be where ever I was at the time. Mum knew Goldie made me upset, so she tried to get him off her tail. Sadly it didn't work and I was left scared for life. My most recent bad clown experience was in China, you can check it out in my previous China blogs.

Fear #4 ~ The Sky
No reason, I just get nervous at the thought of all that unlimited space! If I stare at the sky too much, will I fall in it?

Fear #3 ~ Rock Melon
It smells like vomit and its the most disgusting fruit ever.

Fear #2 ~ 'Bum Face' and Possibly You
Oh, I really don't like him. I'm not going to tell you why either. And the reason I dont like you is because well... why don't you go look in the mirror and tell me JKS love youuu

Fear #1 ~ Flushing the Toilet in the Airplane
It makes a loud noise zmm

MY COMPLAINT LETTER ABOUT WEI EE ...

Dear Sir/Madam

Parts of what follows below were actually painful to write. However, because of the ongoing misinformation campaigns launched by Mr. Wei Ee Ying and his cat's-paws, I feel it is my duty to write this. Let us note first of all that if I didn't sincerely believe that Wei Ee should just exercise some common sense and some common decency, then I wouldn't be writing this letter. Let me end by saying that I know that what I have written in this letter will send many readers (especially any who are big fans of Mr. Wei Ee Ying) into a tizzy or a tantrum. I am sorry, but I remind them that thanks to Wei Ee, I'm now suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Yours Sincerly

first of all, i would like to ask a question. what is it with malaylays and that stupid xD face thing?! its on everything!!

anyways ...
this week i went on my year 11 camp. actually, it was more like an eating convention since we had breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and suppper. oh man, so full already! it was heaps of fun and full of excitement, even from right at the start...when the bus broke down on a cattle grid and we had to carry all our luggage to the accommodation. lolio

it was beautiful ! tyalgum camp was full of wonderful nature and animals such as llamas, emus, goats, cows, horses and ...birds (i hate birds they scare the crap out of me)

no seriously, there was this bird that lived in the stair case and flew out at people's faces. i didn't get the opportunity to get a pic of it, so here! i drew it in the back of my note book:
its true, it really did look exactly like that

i got to hang out with my old besties like bonnie and lauren

as well as make new friends like (left to right and not includding me) jakie, aicha, tongyu/adela and...

we made a tower of cards out of straws (you see, leadership is like a tower of cards, if one card is taken away, the whole thing falls down) omg we're so smart

i found out i was a 'T' person, a person who is soft,compassionate, kind, indecisive and apparently has qualities of both hitler and marcia hines ..

we had our own pool table and ping pong setup ! haha nathan lost ...

i got to stay up all night talking to the girls about boys, clothes, etc.
haha me and adela are worms xD

so all in all, i had a really fun time. i hope to see all my malaylays in a few months time for an awesome experience at xyz !! im so excited zolv

A Boy Named Fat Kid - a strong sadlib

2008-08-29T21:53:00.000+10:00

wow i am pretty bored right now. i went on this sight called home star runner its hilarious. i typed in random words and it came out with this >>

There once was a boy called Fat Kid. Nobody at Rolf Harris Elementary School like him. They hated him and smelt on him and called him cat. Once they even put a smelly cat in his underpants. He told the teachers, but they just made fun of yo face. There was a girl named Martha Stuart that thought he was cute, but she smelt cats. Fat Kid was very smelly that day. Then one day he got smelly and everybody like him. But then he found out they were only kidding and really making a cat out of him. He smelt some more. He is still a cat today.

MIKADO

2008-08-29T19:40:00.000+10:00

i had a music excursion
we went in a cab to the train station and then we caught the train (duh) up to brisbane.
yay i love brisbane it makes me happy
i think the highlight of this trip was when some dude got arrested on the train yay
a chinese dude stole ciggarettes and money off some fifteen-year-old girl with herpies on her face. the police stopped the train and everything ! it was awesome
anyways ... this is me and my pal lucas. lucas is pretty cool and he is christian just like me!^^

(left to right - micheal the guitar, ally the singeth, me the awesome, lucas... being all weird?)

we are the best the mikado, incase you didn't know, but you should because everybody knows that *cough* bonnie *cough*, is a musical. it is set in japan and its kinda racist lol. "we are the gentlemen of japan, we all look the same" - chorus

the story starts when a young man called titipoo falls in love with a young girl called yum yum. but they tots can't hook up cuz poobah (the authorities, note authorities is a plural) is gonna get him executed by the lord high executioner. he is saved because the lord high executioner doens't actually know how to execute people. well, nobody ever told him!

the dangers of global warming zam zam

2008-07-31T17:20:00.000+10:00

this is my physics assignment, and yes, i got an A sweet!

* Introduction *
People use electricity everyday all around the world. In fact, Australia alone generates approximately 191 313GW per hour (see Appendix 3). But what is behind all the power points, wires and cords that have now become the basis in our society, how does it work and how much does it cost? *Methods * There are many ways in which to get electricity. Some are good for the environment, and some are bad for the environment, but most people use the unclean ways and damage the atmosphere severely (see contribution to pollution). i). Nonrenewable methods... The main sources for electricity in Australia and most other countries come from unrenewable fossil fuels such as:

Coal
Oil or petroleum, and
Natural gas and propane

They are formed from the rotting remains of old plants and animals millions of years ago and are finite; once they have been used up, there is nothing left. To make electricity, the fuel is burnt underneath a vat of water to make steam. This steam turns giant turbines and this creates energy which is then turned into electricity. Nuclear power is another source of electricity and although it isn’t classified as a fossil fuel and doesn’t give of greenhouse gases, it is still nonrenewable because there is only a set amount. To get power from it, the same concept of the power station is used, but except for burning fuel, a small quantity of radioactive uranium is used to make the steam. This might sound clean, but nuclear power stations produce massive amounts of lethal toxic waste that is non-biodegradable. In fact, the radio-active waste produced from places like this stay radio-active for over 100 years. It is hard to find places to dump this waste and if we continue to use nuclear power, the earth will become a giant dump. There is also the potential to have a major disaster like a nuclear melt down, such as Chernobyl in 1986 (see appendix 5) and cause complete chaos. ii). Renewable and green methods... Renewable energy is becoming increasingly popular as time goes on. This is because they are good for the environment, and the nonrenewable sources are quickly running out. Some green methods include:

Hydro energy (water energy)
Wind energy
Biomass energy
Geothermal energy and
Solar energy.

But if there are so many types of clean energy, why does only less than 1% of all of the world’s electricity come from it? The problem with the clean energy is that it is much too expensive and far too inefficient to supply enough power for us, or is it us with the problem? As I sit here typing on the computer, listening to the radio and talking to somebody on myspace with lots of lights on, I wonder what would happen if everyone just cut down on their electricity consumption (see Recommendations). Could we rely of green power methods then? * Contribution to pollution * Global warming is a dilemma that has started to alarm Australia and the whole world alike. If we continue down the road of creating excessive amounts of greenhouses gases and carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels at a shocking rate, then there will be no ozone layer to protect the earth from the strong rays of the sun. Pretty soon, all the ice in the North and South Poles will melt from overheating and flood the world.

Other side effects include acid rain from the carbon dioxide releasing sulphur into the atmosphere and joining onto rain droplets and creating sulphuric acid.
Also, the extremely hot temperatures will cause many species to die out, and if it gets too hot, maybe even humans will die. This could potentially wipe out all existence as we know it, an apocalypse.
If we use green power and save electricity (see Recommendations), then we can save the world from its fate.

*Electrical devices in my home *

Device Usage/hour
Convection Oven 1500W
Dishwasher 1500W
Oven 4000W
Toaster 1100W
Phone 16W
Kettle 2200W
Iron 1200W Fridge
Freezer 508kW
Stovetop 1200W
Fluorescent Light 15W

Slow Cooker 750W
Ghetto Blaster 22W

* Cost of electricity *
The price of electricity changes everyday at a very fast pace (see Appendix 4), so it is hard to say what the exact price of electricity is. On the 29th of August, electricity cost an average of $35.88/MWh off peak hours, and cost $38.62/MWh on peak hours (7am - 10pm).

* Conclusion and recommendations *
We can’t make the problem of global warming go away forever because of all the damage we have already done, but we can make a difference (see appendix 9). There are alternatives to using most electrical appliances in the home. For example, I have a hair straightener that I use everyday. Every year, it cost around $12 of electricity a year because it is 42watts and my mum and I use it for about 2 hours per day (see appendix 7). If we don’t use it, we both look really ugly (see appendix 6), but if we just tie our hair up and wear lots of make up instead (see appendix 8), then we can be stylish and save approximately 0.6% of the $2052 annual bill at the same time. We could also save by preventing the use of unnecessary light, turning off the television when it isn’t being used, get insulation so that we stop using the heater so much and sing to ourselves instead of listening to the stereo.
My household’s bill isn’t very high because only two people live in there and we don’t own a clothes-dryer, games console or an air conditioner. More people should be like my family because although sometimes we are horribly bored or have sopping wet clothes, we are well on the way to making the world a better place for future generations.

*Appendix 1*
One alternative is ...

"Yelling releases excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Anger will be demonstrated via sign language and harsh glaring"

(Ways Jack Bauer Will Fight Global Warming, http://www.kxmb.com/News/Nation/150735.asp)

*Appendix 2*

me with un-straight hair = yuk

*Appendix 3*
me with straight hair = yum, but not good for the environment *tear*

*Appendix 4*

if i just tie my hair up and wear lots of make-up, i am an environmental babe!

this is my last weekend of not going to school.

so what better way to end it then going to brisbane (so close to siu fai, yet so far away *tear*) on the train to see my two best friends abby and bonnie!!!? abby gave me a travel passport for my birthday and omg its pink. bonnie gave me derek I LOVE DEREK. us three are gonna make a blog about derek soon, so keep your eyes peeled!! we were walking around near streets beach and i even bumped into my cousins from melbourne. it was freakishly spontaneous.

bonnie and abby slept over at my place. we had some good fun watching old episodes of medium and playing the china game 'feilong'. awesome.

on caturday i had my birthday party at timezone. i invited...

>luke (the one who cant use chopsticks even though he lived in hong kong for 9 years, actually he cant even use a fork)

>wei ee (the one who smells like toilet paper) yea, he couldn't make it either...

we did dance dance revolution, laser skirmish, bumper cars, cake (lol), and crazy japanese photo machine thing. (see below)

Culinary Delights

2008-06-26T13:43:00.000+10:00

~f o o d . c u l t u r e ~

I had so many different experiences with different types of food while I was on holiday in Malaysia. Some experiences were good and other, well, ermm not so good. One thing I did enjoy in malaysia for the first time was Korean Barbecue. With me and Kim-chi (spell check??!) it was love at first sight.

Well, since it kind of looks like vomit it wasn’t exactly love at first sight, it was more like love at first bite.

The thing that freaked me out most was at dim sum, but I took the necessary risks.

Frog saliva pudding!!! This is so gross for Aussie people! Do you know how weird that is??? We are very boring and simple in our taste; we like things to stay the same forever, for example:

‘Four X Gold, for a good Aussie taste’
They probably call it XXXX because aussies can’t spell beer LOL

Alcohol plays a big part in Australian everyday life, but not only in drinking. As you know, we have a big problem with flies, they’re so annoying. They fly around your food and your face and up your nose and in your armpit, that’s why we have swagman hats with wine corks dangling off them. You might be thinking, ‘So where does all the wine go?’ The answer is

Homemade fly trap.

So in conclusion, although I absolutely love Malaysian food, Aussie’s have the better sweets. We have cakes with Barbies in them.

They are very enjoyable to infant children on their first birthday can only be enjoyed when eaten like this:

Also, everyone in malaysia tells me that aussie icecream is better.

Here is your proof.

2008-06-06T00:50:00.000+10:00

This year, i was elected to go on a GLC (global leadership conference) for worldvision about important world issues such as world poverty and child labour. its really amazing to know what is going on in the world. did you know that there are 218 million child labourers?? thats one in six children! so sad!!! thats why you should raise money by doing the forty hour famine. this year the money goes to places like india where child labour is a big problem.

ok enough of the serious stuff. even though i dont have any photos from this years GLC, i have last years and they are pretty funny so...

~ L A S T Y E A R ' s G L C ~

me and bonnie and abby had so much fun!

(abby and bonnie)

ok, so first abby tried taking a photo of us...

but i kept on closing my eyesagain and again, like this:

so bonnie came up with a solution...

afterwards, me and bonnie choreographed a dance while abby filmed..

time flies...

2008-03-15T13:31:00.000+10:00

me and ash broke up now yay

2008-02-02T18:25:00.000+10:00

Hey guys! This is my first blog so I’d like to tell everyone a bit about myself, ok? So… I guess my life is pretty unusual. My parents divorced when I was two years old so my dad went to work abroad. First he went to Hong Kong, then USA, then back to Hong Kong again, then Malaysia (yayayayay!) Anyways, everywhere he went I would go to on a holiday or something. I am so lucky to have the privilege of frequent travel. I’ve been to:
- Hong Kong five times,
- This one time I went to Macau (is that even a country?),
- America once,
- China once,
- Singapore four or five times and
- Malaysia … erm … I lost count already lahh … maybe six or seven times ?_?

Even though I’ve traveled so much, I’ve never meet such nice people. I love you guys! DUMC is like naphhh!!! Oh, btw if you’re still reading this then well done I haven’t made you commit suicide from boredom or something.

Also some other random stuff u should know:
- I dance ballet
- I play piano
- I like to say spastic a lot, even though that’s politically incorrect and I could get in trouble. But what else can I say instead of spastic? Retarded? I know! I got a good one. From now on my word is ‘whizzer bum hole.’ Like it? Cool, eh? Oo sorry, continuing on…
- I play volleyball
- I can’t sing. In fact I’m so bad that I make people relentlessly vomit.
- My grades in school are pretty mediocre. I’m so-so at physics, chemistry, history, geography and computer science, but I really suck at mathamatics and physical education. My best subject is Chinese (I’m the #1 my class, imagine how much the others suck lol), but I also do kind of ok in English and religion.. Haha lol I’m better at Chinese then my own language…
- I’m one the four reps for our school’s student council. I’m not sure what portfolio I’ll get but I shotty community service! I’m already the World Vision (a Christian relief organization) leader for my school which is tots awesome since I get to go to youth conferences and stuff.
- My best friends in the whole wide world are Abby [she pretty much dedicates her life to fighting poverty], Eri [she’s kind of like a bizzaro-world Japanese version of me because we have the same hobbies and likes etc], Miki [she is sooo smart man!! Her brains put me to shame >_<] and then there’s Bonnie [she’s crazy like me times ten to the power of crazy].
- Oh! And one last thing… I HAVE A BOYFRIEND tehehe ^_^

His name is Ash like that kid off pokèmon and he is turning 17 in March sometime. He is very hao hao kan, blond hair, blue eyes, very tall, and even though he is completely mcdreamy, he still has a great personality. He’s so chat chat ! zolv zolv

Oh dear look at the time! I better stop ranting on about my bf.

Thanks for tuning in! I’ll keep you up to date with lots of stuff.

(singing)
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!
Goodbye, put a smile on your dial dananannaaaa

*relentlessly vomit*

days 9 ---- 14

2007-05-13T23:39:00.000+10:00

day 8

2007-05-12T23:23:00.000+10:00

DAY 8, Friday, 13th of April, ooo spooky -Not by the Hairs of my Qinny Qin Qin- The terracotta warriors are amazing. Words cannot describe them, so I just take picture.

its inside this little stadium thing
omg we are so adorable (left to right: bonnie, abby, me)

they even have horse thing lol i flashed bonnie in the face

-Some Random Chick-
We went to these hot springs in the mountain where the old emperor hung out with some concubine chick while the whole of China was being attacked by some randos until some communist dude jumped out the window and did stuff to save them or something and it was pretty cool. The water there naturally comes out the ground at 43 degrees Celsius so its nice and warmmm. You had to pay a fee to feel the water but me and Abby and Chris found a free one out the back. Haha sucked in to all the people who payed 1 yuan! I’mso stingy lol. So anyways, us three went out the back, but we forgot to get back to the bus in time so it turns out that the whole group is freaking and thinking that we got kidnapped by psychopath-stalker-rapist-murderers. We got in so much trouble … oops

my school at hot springs

Well, its back to the train again. Hey, you know we checked the toilet on there. When you flush, there’s no water, it just opens a hole to the train track. Seriously! You press the button, you see the tracks moving past!!! Eww

Ahh nightie night!

P.S. sorry I haven’t written much, I’ve got some weird cold and fever thing blehhh

day 7

2007-05-12T23:19:00.000+10:00

DAY 7, Thursday 12th April
-Chugga Chugga Woot Woot-
I’m finally of that stupid train. We’re now in Xi’an yay!

Our first place to visit was the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It’s this huge building that leans on one side, kind of like a Chinese leaning tower of Pisa. Some emperor dude built it or something.

-Qiche-
We went bike riding around the city walls. It was cool, but I just happened to wear a mini-skirt that day, so … yea, I was kinda paranoid.

We went to this really cool show about the Tang dynasty. It was funny because Luke fell asleep and we put food on his face and took pictures of him lol. Ben was a big rebel and got in trouble. We thought he was cool, but it turns out he only stepped in the garden. I think we are driving the teachers crazy.

Sleep time now ^o^”

day 6

2007-05-12T19:44:00.000+10:00

DAY 6 Wednesday, 11th April
-On the Train-
A lot of good looking Chinese boys told us we were beautiful… I really like this place, I could live here.

We played handball after more classes. I never knew that our teacher was so good! She’s like a machine. Miss ‘The Machine’ Robinson.

Well now we’re on the train back to Shanghai. LOL bonnie fell asleep so i took a photo of her. I’m so tired. Go away.

day 5

2007-05-12T13:46:00.000+10:00

DAY 5 Tuesday, 10th April
-School Days-
We got woken up by a rooster. How civilised. Well I guess it’s only a small town of 1 million people *in case you can’t tell I’m being sarcastic*. I’m so tired right now. The beds in China are like rocks! No seriously! My friend jumped on it and now he has a bruise!!!

Even though our time at home wasn’t so great, school today was a lot of fun, especially the senior school. I got like a gazillion emails. They taught us some cool kung fu moves… better watch out hoo haa!

After senior school, there was primary school. Everybody rushed out of their classes and waved and screamed at us. There were more fireworks!

this kid kept on jumping in my photos LOL

-Macazzzzz-
For dinner, our host family took us to Macdonald’s because they thought that we love it. I hate Maca’s. It’s horrible and greasy and even thinking about it makes my heart hurt. Yet again I find another thing that is generally associated with westerners. It seems as if the rest of the world thinks we are fat, drunk people who drink too much. Actually, we pretty much are…

Later that evening, we went for a walk in the local park. Of course their car had broken down earlier that day, so to get there, they put us in a taxi by ourselves. It was totally freaky! We got there before them and some rando guy on a motorbike was asking us if we wanted a lift. A lift to where? We just got out of a taxi! What a jerk. That park was seriously weird. We also ran into a bunch of drunks and one of them fell in a bush haha.

-China People have Bad Music Taste-
We didn’t go to bed until late because we stayed up watching the Chinese music channel. It sucked. There was this song called ‘Marry Me Tonight.’ Like seriously, who even does that? I probably should go and ask Jolene and DT since they’re the ones who wrote it. Apparently they’re ‘in the house.’ Watevs good night

day 4

2007-05-11T17:45:00.000+10:00

what a realistic mannequin!

DAY 4 Monday, 9th April
-DAnananananananananaaa MTV nanada NEWS REPORT nananananananana YOU KNOW FIRST dadaaaadanananaa-
I’m so bored right now. It’s been three hours of torture with Bonnie and Abby singing bus songs on the bus obviously. Here is the top five countdown:

5. The peanut song, possibly the most annoying of them all.

Lyrics…
Found a peanut, (x3)
Just now.
Found a peanut, (x3)
Just now.

(repeat the same pattern but change the ‘found a peanut’ line with each of the following:)

In the gutter,
Ate it anyway,
Went to hospital,
Cut me open,
Found the peanut,
Sew me up again,
Where’s the scissors?
In my stomach!
Cut me open again,
Found the scissors,
Sew me up again,
I died anyway,
Went to heaven,
Reincarnated,
Back on earth,
Went to school,
I flunked out,
Found a job,
Shovelling coal,
I looked down,
Found a peanut,
In the gutter… (and so on)

So the vicious circle just goes around and around for eternity.

4. That dumb Chinese song ‘Yue liang dai biao wo de xin’

3. I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that will get on nerves and it goes like this …
YAYAYAYAYAY

2. ‘Sweet Escape’ – Gwen Stefani
You know that song that goes weeeeeeeeeeeooooooo woooooohooooooo? Well, it’s been stuck in my head ever since I left Brisbane airport…

1. ‘Backpack’ – Dora the Explorer

Backpack! Backpack!
Backpack! Backpack!
Something something something something
Something something something
Something something something something
Something something something
Backpack! Backpack!
Backpack! Backpack!

(we didn’t actually no the words so we filled it in with erm… something)

Kill me now

-Crazy Man Climbs up Stick-
We finally got to our stopover in Wuzhen. Some crazy man climbed up a big long pole that leaned over a lake and did a roly-poly. I think he was trying to impress us. Maybe this is some sort of ancient Chinese art of pole-dancing. But yeah, that was pretty much the towns highlight. Other then that it had some more weird mannequins and a pet bird, oh, and some guy that sang old opera songs.

-I Don’t Think They Let Turtles through Australian Customs-
We arrived at Cixi this afternoon. When we got to the Cixi Yucai Middle School, they came out and started to cheer and stare and set off illegal fireworks. How awesome!

If you don’t mind me saying, I didn’t really mind the constant attention because, well, some of the guys were incredibly hot (there are so many you know)! They were so nice to us. The Chinese boys were telling us girls we were beautiful and giving us presents like silkworms and even a pet turtle! But I must admit, sometimes I felt like saying MY FACE IS UP HERE if you know what I mean. They sometimes got too close. Some of them even made jokes of us. Somebody would say something then they would stare at us and laugh. Being famous has its ups and downs. ^_^ >_< -Cesuo Zai Narrrrrrrrrrr?-

After school, we back with our home-stay family which consisted of Kelly, Kelly’s mum and Alice who is Kelly’s friend. Their English is about the same level as our Chinese so we met half way. The only phrases you really need to survive with are ‘Cesuo zainar?’ [Where is the toilet?] - For obvious reasons, ‘Zhe shi shenme?’ [What is that?] – In case there’s something really strange on the dinner table and you want to make sure it’s not a dog or something, but the most important and useful phrase is ‘Wo duzi teng’ [I have a stomach]. Why, you may ask? Well it’s a back up plan in case they really do serve you dog. It’s the perfect excuse to leave the table hehehe… Dinner was interesting. They served us Coke in bowls. Who even does that? Do you know anybody that drinks coke out of a bowl??? Kelly and Alice kept on bugging us to sing a song for them. We finally gave in and sang ‘Yueliang daibiao wo de xin.’ Zomg it was so embarrassing, they got out a video camera and started filming us. I just thought, oh great! So now we’re probably going to end up on some weird Chinese version of funniest home videos.

oh man, im so tall lol

day 3

2007-05-11T17:41:00.000+10:00

DAY 3 Sunday, 8th April
-Easter Time at a Buddhist Temple Zolv-
Yay! It’s Easter time!!! Oh dear, I miss my fam fam…

We went to some Buddhist temple. It was weird because all those freaky evil god things were everywhere. Blebleble!
Afterwards, we went to a tea ceremony. It was pretty cool so I bought some tea that gives you lots of energy as a present for my grandparents. It smells like coconut^^ I hope I don’t drink it all by the time we get back, then my grandma would look up at me (she’s kind of short) and be all like, ‘How come everyone else has a present except me?’ and she will be all teary-eyed and disappointed and I’ll never forgive myself and maybe I would become an emo and cut cut and read depressing poetry and join a emo club full of other emo kids that didn’t give their grandma a present when they came back from China and mope around all day and dress all black and try to be anti-conformist while copying all the things that my cool new emo friends are doing simultaneously while feeling sorry for myself.

-Acrobat Dudes-
Zomg I’m like totally cereal you guys, we saw the greatest acrobat people like EVER. They did cool stuff like balance 10 chairs on their face while some chick like climbed to the top and did stuff. Cool?

day 2

2007-05-11T17:31:00.000+10:00

DAY 2 Saturday, 7th April
-Ponds can be Deceiving-
I just got back from Yu gardens. Such a cute one! Except I was kind of scared since it was like packed full of Japanese people going lala and the bridge we had to walk on was thin and there was no fence and it was over a pond and since I’ve actually fallen into a pond before… what?!? It looked like grass ok?

-I Hate Flight Centre Man and Whales-
Oh thrill. We went to the communist party museum. Zomg it was really freaky. There were all these wax figures and mannequins of Mao Zedong and some other rando communist dudes everywhere. When I first saw them, I wasn’t quite sure if they were real. I got in trouble for screaming. I swear one of them was moving! And what’s with all the security guards? They’re so tight ars. When they do that martial arts stance, they look constipated. Actually, now that I think about it, they look like that flight centre pilot mannequin at the shop that holds flyers about cheap airfares.

Can I tell you a secret? Ok. I have a morbid fear of flight centre man, oh, and the giant whale at the museum in Brisbane that hangs off the roof and goes weeeeeeeohhoooooooooooooyyyy, but no time to explain that.

-Nathan Licked Abby’s Boob-
At lunch time, we had some really nice (but totally freaky) food. For dessert, they served us jelly, but not just any old jelly, this jelly was special. It was boob-shaped jelly. It was funny because Nathan stole Abby’s boob and licked it. Everyone was like ‘Eww! Nathan licked Abby’s boob! Gross!’

-Learning is Fun-
So afterwards, we went to this other rando museum about Chinese culture or some crap and it was really boring until we found a man wearing a skirt. bahaha

-Clowns are Ghey-
For dinner, we went to Jinmao Tower. It’s the tallest tower of something or whatever. To tell you the truth, I don’t know. To get there we had the choice of taking a plain normal everyday train, or like a fully sick pimped out train. We took the pimped out one. It was like an amusement ride or something. We went through a tunnel with all these flashing lights but then suddenly, from nowhere in particular, clowns jumped out. Oh the trauma! Clowns are now officially added to my list of totally irrational fears.

day 1

2007-05-11T17:26:00.000+10:00

DAY 1 Friday, 6th April
-Plane trip-
We just got on the plane and what luck I have! I’m sitting in between the two most annoying boys in school! Nathan twitches in his sleep and I’m being flooded by Luke’s dribble. I was considering buying a raincoat, but maybe that’s too harsh. Oh well, only !7 HOURS! of annoying-ness to go.

Now we are at our stop over in Singapore. They have travelators and cool thingies that massage your feet and stuff. What the hell do Singapore people have a thing for fake flowers? They’re everywhere I go! Maybe there are hidden cameras in them and they’re making sure we don’t smuggle in illegal drugs or chewing gum. Got to go now and fill out immigration cards now. Omg this card is weird. One of the questions is ‘Do you have a snivel?’ wtf

-Tanya is a Bumface-
Now we’re in China. Wow man! =.= It’s so big, it’s like the whole of Australia in one city!!! Yay. Shanghai is pretty but there are a lot of pick-pockets. We went walking along Nianjing street (spell check?!?). Our tour guide, Tanya, told us that on this street alone, she had had her phone and/or her wallet stolen fives times in one year. Yeah thanks a bunch Tanya, that made me feel a lot more safer then I already was.

mao mao

2007-05-11T17:19:00.000+10:00

On the Easter holidays of 2007, my Chinese class and I set out on a wicked awesome fully super turbo charged study tour to China. I kept a journal, but I want to keep an electronic version. It might take a while to put this together so bear with me!

Zomg I’ve got fake nails on I’m typing like such a spastic…if;ghofnlgk;sogkns;ggghg; owww

CHINA TRIP ‘07
I heart chine-chine <33>

Kaya – she flirts with a boy, but when they ask her out she says no and they’re like wtf

Daniel – his favourite sport is wrestling and one of his shirts has a picture of a half naked wrestler dude on it. Gross?

Ben – also known as Grandpa Ben. Don’t ask. He thinks he’s a rebel. One time, we were getting back on the bus and the teacher made him sit up the front for being naughty. We thought he did something really bad like take drugs or buy flavoured water (we weren’t allowed to buy any sugary drinks) but it just turned out that he stepped over a plant.

Nathan – Esther loves him even though he’s vain and looks at himself in everything that reflects his own image e.g. mirrors, cars, windows, my sunglasses, MY PUPILS, and sometimes even MacDonald’s hamburger because there is so much grease in them. Did I mention Esther LOVES him?

(left picture - nathan[right] getting scolded by nathalie[left])

Brayden – freak

Luke – he’s English, but he came from Hong Kong so he has this really annoying English accent like, ‘ooooooohhhhh woooood yeeeoooooo laaaiiik a cap o teeeeeeeeee?’ (That’s Luke for ‘oh would you like a cup of tea?’).

Stay tuned! Day 1 of the China trip is coming soon.

oh btw, i only made up to day 8 because i got sick and i cant remember (Y-Y)
