Learners

I'm at Adam's house right now and there's no water!

I mean, no water coming out of the taps or anything.

And he says the bill's not even due yet.

How weird.

Good news!

I got my Learners licence yesterday.

Like, finally right?

I don't even know why I was so nervous.

It was easy peasy lemon squeezy lol.

I haven't gone for a drive yet though.

My dad's gonna let me practice at a big parking lot for the first few drives.

How exciting.

My dad made me go out to buy bathrobes for me and my sister for the cold nights.

Adam rarely says yes to shopping so I ended up going by myself. But I didn't mind.

I ended up buying a few other things as well.

But I still don't have an adapter to charge my camera battery so I'll have to post them up later.

Anyway, I'm off to play Animal Crossing!

MasterChef

Sigh.
Poh lost MasterChef.
Dammit, why did she not follow the freaking recipe?!
Well, I can't say that was the reason why she lost 'cause there were three challenges, but it is a contributing factor.
Very big sigh.
But I guess I'm glad Julie won. She's k :).
Did you see when Poh's family walked in?
And the wee lil children came running? They were so cute!
I just can't wait for the next season of MasterChef. I loved it :).

Anyway, I must say that the shopping trip I went on yesterday was satisfactory.
I managed to buy a few things but not enough.
Stocklands just doesn't have enough stores.
My camera died on me before I could take pictures and I can't charge it because my camera is from Canada, therefore it needs an adapter but my dumb sister has it -_-.
So I'll update this post when I get the chance.

Tomorrow will be a huge step in my life-stage of adolescence.
I can't say what it is just yet.
Because I know if the outcome is unsuccessful, I will be hugely embarrassed and devastated.
So wish me luck :).

Ohh, I just realised it's my friend's birthday today.
Happy 17th birthday, BK!~
Here ya go.

It's pink!

By the way, what do you guys think of these shoes?

Siren Geisha

When I tried these on I almost slipped on the carpet.
My boyfriend said it was "Eww".
I don't know if I'd be able to walk in these but they're so funky!
And they were on sale too, and nothing beats a sale!

Harry Potter

I went to watch Harry Potter yesterday with my beloved boyfriend.
I didn't love it nor did I hate it.
I just liked it.
It felt rushed and there was a lot of things that were taken out.
But what could one expect? Who would want to sit through a 7 hour movie?
Yeah, I admit I would.
I mean, it's Harry Potter!
I just love the brilliance of it all. It's so mind boggling.
Everything just fits together! It's amazing.
It's funny to compare the whole cast in the first HP to this one.
They're just so grown up. Rupert Grint (Ron) is so big D:

I have to give the movie some credit though for managing to frighten me several times.
But then again, I get scared quite easily.
Seriously, it really annoys the hell outta the people I sit next to.
When I jump, they jump at my reaction and it pisses them off. It's funny.
That's why I have a love-hate relationship with scary movies.
It's interesting, but at the same time, the scary music could even trigger me.

Have you guys heard of that new horror movie "Drag Me To Hell"?
When I first saw the preview on tv, I was shaking my head in ridicule.
The movie industry are slowly running out of ideas.
But I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up watching it -_-".
I know, it's ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous, my boyfriend has been saying that word continuously over the past few days.
Most of the time, it's not even necessary!
I was really annoyed at first and I kept telling him to shut up but like all boys, he didn't listen.
Now I've grown immune to it and what's worst is, I'm starting to say it!
It's ridiculous.

My boyfriend is attending this fighting game event at UTS today and tomorrow.
It's like Supernova, except you don't dress up and it's all about fighting games.
Like Streetfighter, Tekken, etc.
You just compete with other players and watch.
I know, he's such a nerd. A cool one though :D.
He was unsure of competing 'cause his ass would get kicked and I agreed on that.
But I hope he does. Compete I mean.

I went shopping yesterday and it was unsuccessful.
It really annoyed me 'cause I could find nothing that screamed "buy me!"
So I'm going again today and hopefully I'll come home with something.

Oh, and I'll leave you with this.

These are some questions on the practice driver knowledge test.
When I first saw this, it looked like it was both asking the exact the same thing but had different answers due to a RTA screw up. Those bastards.
Boy, was I wrong.
And blind.
My boyfriend had to tell me the difference and I am still shocked.
If you can spot the difference, then congratulations.
This proves you're not as stupid as me.

Oh, and if you're wondering why I have a lot of Vietnamese bookmarks, weird programs and other useless junk going on, it's just how the Phans roll.

Test

I'm doing the practice driver's test online for my L's, and I must say it's a pain in the ass.
I've been doing it repeatedly non-stop and all I can see is a flurry of words now.
The "intersections" and "traffic lanes" sections are the most annoying.

You can only be hopeful in getting the ones you know.
The questions you're not so familiar with can come at you one after the other.
That's when you know you're screwed.
And must pay another $35 to experience it all over again.

But others tell me otherwise.
"It's really easy! I got 100% and I didn't even study".
Just put more pressure on me, why don't yous?

But maybe I'm just being a worry wart (worry wart? hah) and it really is just a breeze.
We'll just have to see.

Oh yes, it's my 22 month anniversary with my boyfriend today.
I just know we're not going to do anything.
He has to raid. He has more dedication in his stupid gameplaying than in me.
Isn't he just great?
No, I'm just kidding. I still love him (I know you're reading this).

Oh, and it's also my friends' anniversary too! Yeah, we share the same date number.
Isn't that just cool?

Yeah, I didn't get to finish the post on the 15th so I'm posting it today (17th) just in case people are confused.

Obsession

I never thought it would come to this, but I think I'm obsessing over Korean singers.
I spent all of yesterday downloading Korean songs and looking up pictures of Korean bands.
It's the end of the world, I know.
Okay, well, maybe it can't be all THAT bad.
I mean, there comes a point in our lives where we can't help but become obsessed over something we can't resist, right?
So don't be surprised to see a bombardment of Korean music in the playlist in days to come.
Don't worry, I won't be posting any Korean pictures in here (you sigh in relief).
... 'Cause there are just TOO many pictures, so I'll have to make multiple posts.
It's okay, you don't have to thank me :).

Tutor

I'm thinking of going back to tutor.
I'm struggling in maths.
It's the teachers. They're so shit.
I mean, I've only ever had one or two good maths teacher in my high school years.
I got 52% in my half yearly report this year.
More than half didn't even pass.
And the Vietnamese international students are really damn smart.

I'm learning permutations and combinations in school right now, and I don't get shit all.
When I learnt it last year, I understood it with no problems.
That's only because I had a really good maths teacher.
But she went on maternity leave. Well, permanently.
And unfortunately, like all young people, I forgot the entire topic.

So now I am stuck with two math teachers who are both hopeless.
One of them leaves the class all time.
I think he is a good teacher, but only if he actually stayed in class.
And the other is always saying, "Don't ask me 3 unit questions, I only know how to do 2 unit."
What the hell?!
We're in a 3 unit maths class for pete's sakes.

At the same time, I don't want to go to tutor.
There's that process of looking for a good one.
And when I went to tutor a few years ago, I absolutely positively hated it.
I had to wake up at 9 on Saturdays.
And the place always seemed so cold and lonely.
No one spoke. There was only ever 5 people max at a time.
And I had a fobby tutor teacher as well.
Argh. Why are all math teachers fob?

I think parents throw their children in a tutor because they think it will make them 120% smarter.
That may be true, but really, people wouldn't have to go to tutor if their school just did the job.

Black skirt

My dad woke me up this morning to tell me I got a package.
I saw the fuzzy outline of it on my desk and thought, "finally".

I love getting things in the mail.
Even letters from Centrelink, lol.
It makes you feel special.

It came in a cute plastic bag.

Excuse the Asian blanket.

I tried it on and it was a bit longer than I thought, so I may have to alter them.
And I have to iron the creases out too.
Overall, I think it's a decent skirt for $16 :)

Oh, and I found out who dies in the tv soapie "Neighbours" this week. I hope it's not true.

Raving & Ranting

I need to go shopping these holidays

But I just can't seem to move my lazy ass.
I need to find a shopping buddy.
My sister, well, we can never seem to find time to get together which is weird.
My boyfriend... must I say more?
And I don't have many girl friends. Which is so annoying.
Like, I just realised I don't have any close girlfriends these past few years.
I miss that.
And the ones I do usually talk to, they're not allowed out most of the time and other factors which are in the way.
I feel so disconnected.

Anyways, on a lighter note, my friend's 18th birthday's today.
Happy birthday, Kim!
I was suppose to go to her party today.
But I didn't, and people were expecting me to be there.
I feel bad.
I don't get why I don't make an effort either.
I feel so anti-social.
Which is not good, especially when peers are one of the most important socialising agents in this life stage of adolescence (thanks society & culture).

What is wrong with me?! D:

Anyways, how do you guys like this watch?

It comes in different colours but I think black can go with anything.
I dunno, I think it's okay for a watch that's under $10.
But I'm afraid it may look "cheap".

Prophecy was today, well technically, last night at 9PM.
And I didn't go! D:
Well, I didn't mind really.
It kinda got boring, going to raves.
The guys I go with, well they're just sitting there, getting high.
So I'd be dancing by my lonesome self.
And half the time, I'm forcing myself to dance because the music being played is so boring.
I don't even know why I bother going.
When I tell people that, they say, "Cause you don't take anything".
And I'm happy I don't!
I'm not gonna cave into peer pressure and be devoured by the foolishness. No, siree!
Okay, I admit I may be over-dramatizing the issue.
If you don't understand what I'm saying then you should be glad you don't because it really is foolish.
But maybe one day I'll decide to be foolish on my own account :D.

There's Defqon coming up in September.
Look how huge it looks.
It's on an island on the outskirts of the Blue Mountains :O
It's a daytime rave from 11 AM - 10 PM, and I think that's better than having it at nighttime.
I just know it's gonna go off :D
But it's for 18's and over, and I am unfortunately a youngster.
There's always next time though.

Help

Does anyone know the code for getting rid of the borders around images?
It's so ugly.

Peeptoe

I love looking at shoes... from sport shoes to slippers to boots.
PeepToe has really nice shoes.
I wish I had these.


These booties are $299.










These heels range from $249-$279.





These one's are 50% off, at $124.90.

I asked my boyfriend which ones he liked the best and he chose the white and black high heels, just as I suspected.
Yeah, they're pretty much out of my price range right now.
But I'm pretty sure I can find dupes for most of 'em, lol.
I don't even think I'd be able to walk in 12 cm heels though.
I guess they'd be good for sitting and looking pretty in.
Ah, one step at a time, Soph, one step at a time.

Tifa

There something very "anime" about this picture.
The hair, the porcelain skin, the darkness of it all...
It kinda reminds me of Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy.

Yay

I keep coughing.
It's a wet cough too.
But there's no phlegm.
It's annoying.

Ooh, I'm so glad Roger Federer won :)
I missed out on the last 10 minutes of the game though, which was the crucial part!

I have no more exams or assessments!
And there's only less than one more week left of school!
I'm so happy DDDDDDDD:

Contemplating

What do you's think of the dress?
I think it's pretty.
But where exactly would I wear it to?
And I'd probably ever wear it once if I get to.
And I don't know about the scrunchiness at the back (click to enlarge).
It looks a bit funny and cheap looking.
I don't want to be an impulse buyer.
Well, then again I can't say that since I've been thinking about it for a quite some time.

Fan club

Thrilling! Is This Love?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Hey now, here is my song.
For you, yeah, that's right.
I wish that I was yours
but I'm too shy, I suppose.
If only I could just conjure a spell.
Kapow! Hocus, hocus, hocus!
Then you and I would be together
for all time, I suppose.
Is it love that makes my heart go
boom, boom, boom?
Yeah, I suppose!
Love you, love you, love you!
More than yesterday...
I suppose!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

This song cracks me up all the time I hear it.
It's cheesy and it doesn't make sense, but I love it :)
It's from a Nintendo DS game, Rhythm Heaven.


So catchy.
