I think my wisdom tooth is coming out. And. It really hurts like crap. =.= Open or close mouth oso pain. Yeesh. Its a completely redundant tooth that serves no purpose and causes you pain. Sigh.

The left side of my gums is swollen at the back.
I feel like a bad luck charm. =.=

On a side note, family day was fun.

I fell asleep in my chair while studying science. I keep feeling tired lately. (or rather more tired than usual)

Uh. I guess I'll get back to studying now. =]

The Clone Wars

Star Wars The Clone Wars sucked big time. It should've stayed a cartoon! The guys at Lucasfilm really know how to mess things up. Clap clap clap. The motions were robotic (save for the droids) and the talking seemed kinda fake. The fight scenes were okay. And the clones were ... well. The ARCs were the only redeemable things amongst them. Nuff said.

Star Cruise

I was looking through my old photos. (Okay. Not that old.) and I found these. Lol

My mom in the cruise lobby during the evening. Did I mention I love sunlight?

Like the name says, The Lido. I can't remember what this was exactly. I never went in.

That's my bro. Looking extremely glad to be posing with a pretty woman. (Even if she isn't real)



Okay I have no idea what this stuff is. I think its called Salmon Pate? Not too sure. I've only eaten this twice before. Both of them on Star Cruises. I kind of . . took a bite before remembering I had to take a picture of it. BUT! This stuff is GODLY!!!

Okay, inside that pastry encrusted dome, is a juicy, tender, steak. Yummm.

This is called Bomb Alaska. Basically ice cream cake with raspberry syrup. Or something. I'm not too sure. Lol


My aunt at the wheel. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEE!

FF 4

Once I got back I began playing FF4. My goodness. I think my remaining holiday has been wasted on this game! Haha. I even stopped chasing Skye (Harvest Moon) to slice monsters in half. (Which is proving to be a pretty fulfilling substitute.)

I like Kain. Rydia is starting to grow on me, which is a good thing =D

Cecil is just weird =.= after the whole paladin thing.

I've only been listening to the Goo Goo Dolls thus far. Ohh man. Something tells me I might get sick of this band soon. Noooooo

It seems

that I cannot draw symmetrical eyebrows or eyes. . .. okay or anything. =D haha. . okay. I shouldn't be laughing. Its a bad thing.

OOH And now! I have toe socks! Whohoo! =D Just one pair. Cos they're so expensive =.=

Goo Goo Dolls

Yaaay! I have a new favourite band! The Goo Goo Dolls. . . . Honestly their name is just . . scary. But I like their sound. Whoo =D Hmm. . So now I have two favourite bands.

One inch tall

I found this poem. I thought it was nice so yeah =D

If you were only one inch tall, you’d ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you’d walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You’d swing upon a spider’s thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

You’d surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum.
You couldn’t hug your mama, you’d just have to hug her thumb.
You’d run from people’s feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night,
(This poem took fourteen years to write –
‘Cause I’m just one inch tall).

Shel Silverstein

J--o-y

There's that lottery that nobody wants to win. And. I've just won it. Sigh.

I've just realized today that I'm quite the pessimist. I mean. . . well yeah. =.= I am a pessimist. To a degree. I guess that can be remedied.

On a side note. It seems like my dad has moved the blue sofa from the attic to the living room. So. It looks really empty right now. So odd.

And! I passed math 909 today! Whoo! with 90 marks! Lol HAHAHA great job boss! muaha.

Ouch

I realized why my knee wasn't healing as fast. It was because I kept bumping it against the table and some other piece of furniture. Sigh. Whatever man.

OOh! And the barbeque was tons of fun! THANK YOU JO! It was a success!

Hmm. Two camps coming up. Man. I'm not sure I look forward to it. Since I conned Karl into going for youth camp, I have to go. And also my mom wants me to. =.= Last year was kind of. Lonely. Which is sad. And school camp is also coming up. I'm part of the camp comm (a.k.a glorified slaves. But I tell you now. There is no glory to being a slave. If there is, I'm not feeling it!) (and I didn't do much so far anyhow har har)

So ah well. Uh. . . math went by pretty bad today. I was being completely blur. Yipes. Its tuition day in day out. Thank you mom and dad for robbing me of my childhood.

Peace.

muahahahah. Guess who??

Muahahaha.
Guess who forgot to sign out from her blog?
I guess everybody doesn't sign out.
It's just Mishie's unfortunate luck that I am such a leech and is parasiting off her comp to watch...
NAGASARETE ARIANTOU (my previous anime addiction).
Muahahaha.
I have only 6 more episodes left.
I need to de-stress and laugh to burn off the nervous energy I bundled together today. Man that Uncle Chris dude was scary!!
Rach is meant to be here, and if she was, she would be making funny comments here too. Unfortunately, she can only make it here in spirit - maybe tomorrow in body - so this post is credited (and blamed) from BOTH rach and I.
kakakakaka.
Whoo!! It loaded!!
BB!

Lessons

Okay. The group thing is just one day from over. But throughout the entire 4 months. . or shall I say two. I learnt alot, and I meant quite a fair bit of lessons. (in random order =D)

I got a glimpse of what the adult world was like. Just a little bit. To have to worry about how the money is gonna come in. And having to put up with others mistakes and accept it as well as my own.

And. I realized. I hated going for sponsors. Because. It was like literally near begging them. Please. Support us. My gosh. You can really tell alot about the heart of a person on how far they're willing to go. I mean. Actions speak so much louder than words. And it really shows.

Family just supports you all the way. (I mean this towards more on the first side of my family) =]

I learned to let go and trust God when I just couldn't handle it anymore. And I did. And alot of the burden was lifted. I contemplated fasting. But concluded it was a silly idea because I would end up fainting. =] I don't do diets! . . Okay. . I do ice cream diets. there. More accurate. Anyway yeah! God helps

I learned how to lead abit more and when to push and shove. Lol especially on the administrative bit. And my gosh. Taking charge is fun and stressful at the same time. I mean. How often to you get to order people around and have them listen to you?

And, I really learned how to appreciate my team. Man. All of this wouldn't be possible if it weren't for you guys. Just lucky for great members I guess =D Hope I wasn't too rough on ya. lol

I guess I learned most of all to just accept mistakes as they come by and learn from them. I think this was the hardest. Because. Before this group project. I had absolutely no idea on how to use photoshop. (just ask jaryl. he has the horror stories) lol. The day the magazines got printed, I realized my complete illiteracy at the program. And i kept beating myself up over it. I had a pretty bad night then. Lol. I probably stayed awake for an hour just thinking about it. It was like, "Why didn't I do better?"
"How on earth could I make those mistakes?"
"It looks like crap! It looks horrible!"
I kept saying that it was okay for a first. But I couldn't really convince myself.

And put those thoughts on loop. Yeah.

So the next day while everyone was rushing to see the magazines. I was hanging back. Really just afraid to look. Then. A few members came up to me, and said it looked great! You deserve a monument!

So. I looked.

And inside I kind of went. Oh. Just like that. Just 'oh' and started flipping through it. Man. What I saw were mistakes. My mistakes. Text too large. Color not right. etc etc
And pretty much proceeded to be depressed the whole day.

Then Sher gave us a pep talk. And I didn't feel quite so bad after that.
Look how far we've come. From just plain schoolkids to more mature schoolkids that know how to manage and run a mag. Its something. It made me realize I was comparing myself to something completely out of my league. From a complete noob at photoshop to a somebody who's beginning to get a handle on it. I mean its not perfect. It might not be good. Heck! It sure might be lousy.

But. It was a great first try.

And. Mom and dad said great effort. So that made me happier abit. I mean. It came from dad.

Pushing Daisies

Sher and Karl were both raving about wanting to watch Pushing Daisies. I didn't pay much attention to it back then, I mean. Interesting storyline. But I kind of had it in my head now and then. But never got around to really check it out. Then I found out. Even Garrett watches it.

Now.

That's something. So. Now I want to watch it. I'm gonna download it. If anyone has it. Could ya please pass it to me! I don't wanna wait. .. too long.


On a side note. I cut my hair. Dad says i look like a boy ( again) and said, "You want to look like me is it?"

Well. I doubt anyone would want to have a big bald spot smack center of their cranium. Hah. HAH! If I am glad of anything I inherited. It would be the sarcasm from him. That is all.

Man. Now I know how House feels.

Hmm. For a Monday, today was pretty good. The day went by real fast =]

Basketball at blazing aces today was well. Interesting. Imagine this. You push a button on the percolator for coffee. Now. Imagine it was God. And the button you pushed was for rain. Well that's what happened. Push the button. Stop. Let everybody clean up the mess. And then push the button again! Lol it was funny. Anyway, the court was semi dry. So the thing was called off and some of us played.

In short. I tripped over Karl's leg and landed flat on the ground. My left knee took the brunt of it. When I turned over, there was a dent in it! A dent! . .. (and I then proceeded to cry like a baby)

Okay. So now its rather swollen. And when you push it, you can feel the dent inside. ..Okay. I tried. =.=

and my darling of a mother whacked me hard on the knee for some reason I can't even recall right now! I whacked her back only to make my hand sting. eesh =.= and before that she was telling me that she shouldn't scold kristy so much. Then she said, "next time I should just keep quiet." in one of those questioning yet stating kind of tones.

So I said, yeah you probably should.

Then! "OH! So you say you want me to be mute is it?! See la! Your sister so horrible (to my brother)

My gosh! how on earth does your mind just jump the track that way?! Sigh. THIS! is why single men are happier.

Sigh. This inability to pick up on social cues is . . uhhhghh =.= I. Have a one track mind. Straight and forward! Nuff said. If you want praises. Don't come to me. My density at social graces might well. . . frustrate you to say the least.

Just another label?

Okay a friend of mine a while back asked me to go to this church. So I did. And if I didn't know some people there already, I would've been completely ostracized. Nobody came up to say hi. Except the people I knew. Which is rather sad. Still feel abit of an outsider.

Is Christianity just another label? Some people who claim they're Christian certainly don't live that way. And its rather. Well. Frustrating to say the least. Like c'mon. Imagine this.

"YOU'RE Christian?! My gosh. I had no idea."

Sure says alot doesn't it. I know non-Christians who have way better attitudes than some people I know.


But then again. When it comes right down to it. I suppose. Its just about you and God right? Nobody else matters. Right?
I could be wrong (which I usually am)

Sigh. Religion is a touchy subject. =.= Whatever man.

The watermelon

Told Karl a joke yesterday. She was laughing her head off.

Here it is.

A small town pastor grew his own watermelon patch. However, some neighborhood kids would come by occasionally and steal a few.
Fed up and exasperated the pastor resorted to this. He placed a note in the watermelon patch which said, "One of these watermelons is injected with cyanide."

The next day, he found a note which read. "NOW THERE ARE TWO! =]"

Gotta love those kids.

Thank you

Thank you Uncle Leslie for the lunch. It was really nice of you =D

On a side note. I passed that Maths lifepac with flying colors! Yess! Take that! Although I'm not good at math. I can't hate it. Because its somehow fulfilling getting the answers right. Ah well.

I slept at 12.30 last night. And 12 the night before, and the night before that too. As a result. I have come down with a cold. Gah! I'll be so glad when this mag thing is over! Other people can sleep at odd hours of the morning. But apparently my body isn't geared towards that.

Lemonade drives me. That can be alternately replaced with San Francisco coffee.
