A sigh of relief

Finally the HSC is over... even before it started, I knew it would all be over soon and now that day has come.... well technically it came 4 days ago, but I've been busy since then.

After Japanese Extension exam.... rushed to get my clearance form signed, got my reference before rushing home to record 'Yuki no Hana' for group cd and tried to organise all the files and everything.... while also trying to read Medentry's interview guide. A bad attempt at multi-tasking because I ended up putting some family photos in the files as well... and they ended up being burnt on the cd along with a text file which wasn't meant to burnt on.... anyway, I don't think anyone is going to understand what I'm going on about so enough about that. I'm already over it.

Then at 3pm, we drove to Newcastle... or technically Cessnock where a friend of a friend lives - which is where we stayed overnight. Cessnock is not really such a small town but still a country town and very quiet.... and well, I wouldn't want to live there. Anyway, at that friend's house, they had dial-up which was so incredibly slow that I gave up after a while. =_____=;;;;;;;;;  I'm too used to my lovely cable, I almost forgot the terror of dial-up. Didn't feel like preparing for the Newcastle interview at all.... I was feeling so lethargic after sitting for hours in the car.

Anyway, didn't sleep too well that night and ended up getting up many times through the night and finally got up at 6. Tried to read up on the Newcastle med program... but yeah, nothing really went into my head. It was freezing outside and started pouring after a while - wonderful omen for my interview. -.-;;;;

I didn't feel the interview went too well... but yeah, can't do anything about it now. Just hope I get into UNSW even though I'm not too happy with some of my HSC exams.... Again, something I can't do anything about. After the interview..... drove home and rushed to finish writing Xmas cards before 2:50pm. In the end I didn't manage to finish and I had to write some cards on the train. It was quite bad.... X______X  We were all meant to meet at 3:30pm and it turned out that I was the first one there. People slowly came and then we went to K.

Very fun, I got to sing some Ayumi songs~ But my friend cut me off right before the end of M... which was what I was waiting to sing. Stupid K machines can't fast forward through the song. We paid for 3 hours but we had to leave because we were meeting the others at 6:30pm at Fujiya..... meant to anyway, we got there at around 6:45pm. ^^;;;
Food was not bad but I wasn't feeling too well, so it didn't taste as nice to me. We received our packages, took photos and by the time we got to the station it was around 9pm.

Never caught a train that late before.. very interesting. It was dark outside and when someone asked what station it was, it didn't really click in my mind that it was nighttime and I thought we were still in the tunnel. >_____>;;;;;;

Moving on.... Friday morning, we had yum cha with Ms Shalvey~ ^____^ Haven't seen her in ages and it was great. Except Marigold is such a rip-off. *sigh* The food wasn't too bad but the service wasn't that great either. What's with the attitude of those dim sim ladies. -.-

Well.... I had to go home and practice piano for piano lesson so I left first. Turned out I was screwed anyway, I haven't practiced for months because I had to 'study' and now I can't play any of my pieces properly. Man, I don't want to fail...... -_______-

Had my first driving lesson yesterday... I was a bit nervous but today was much better. Very fun~  I even made a few right turns. Lol! ^____^ I want to go again tomorrow!

I had a dream yesterday that my copy of TxT album '2U4U' arrived..... but it still hasn't come. *cries* I've downloaded the album already (damn ppl for ripping it so quick) but I don't want to listen to it yet..... I WANT MY CD DAMNIT!!!! 

It's not doing so well on the charts... dropped to #7 already. ;_____; Ayaka's album is #1 - it's not a bad album but I am not fan enough to order the Jap version online... yet. Maybe if I find the overseas version in HK, I will buy it. I'm hoping to buy Ayumi's 'Secret' album in HK as well. =)

"and well, I wouldn't want to live there." HAHAH =D And dial up ... well, I think even though I don't have dial up, that my net is JUST AS SLOW. It sucks and yea, now u know the amount of pain i go thru as i wait and wait. tick tock.
And Marigold - DUH it's a rip off! I remember once we had a sweet and sour pork and it was teeny weeny XD. So yea, now we go to that one on top of haymarket/paddys? LOL yea!
I have no idea who Ayumi is. heheh XD

Haha, thankyou for being patient enough to read my rambles. =P

I know, I am used to city life already... can't imagine living in a rural place like that - one of the main reasons why I don't really want a bonded place. =____= I'm gonna die if they force me to work in rural places for 6 years, the prime time of my life = GONE!

Anyway, yeah.. Marigold sucks. When Ms Shalvey asked for recs, I said to go to the one in Market City.... but somehow we ended up going to Marigold. Well, doesn't really matter. XD

Ayumi... I've sung her songs to you before. :O But I guess you forgot... you know the song 'teddy bear'? 'seasons'? The singer I said who doesn't really write about love so much in her lyrics. =P Maybe I can refresh your memory sometime by singing her songs to you again. XD

I do that alot too. I do too much and end up messing it up somehow, but it's a nice feeling to know you got all that done. Then you want to just sit and smile while eating riceballs, at least that's what I feel...though I never do get the rice balls...I end up with Sushi and vinigared rice instead... You've been very busy lately, me? I've been bored, final exams and my manga I've got absolutely too much time. That's why I read you and my other friends journal entries, so that I can feel busy...oh well...all things come at a slow rate, perhaps I am simply going too fast for life...

Yeah... I still have quite a lot to do, but it's good to know that I have something to do. XD Or else I'd have too much time and then I'd be like my other friends... feeling empty and without purpose after finishing the HSC. It's like there's nothing to aim for anymore. Well, for me... I just need to focus on piano, and maybe driving. =)

I'm focusing on driving as well, I finished my finals today and now I have time to get back to my comic I'm entering the Tokyopop Manga competition this year. I put it on hold last week because I had to study for them so I was really bummed and had nothing to do but study. My friends sound alot like yours, they only get really busy for a little while and then their finished and have nothing to do but make bad jokes and be bored. I sit and draw alot so I'm one of those people who can keep themselves busy when there's nothing better to do. Do you ever get artists block? Just wondering...

I can't draw at all. XD I am limited to like.. stick figures. >____> Lol.
27th-Nov-2006 05:27 pm (UTC)
that's what alot of my friends say...me? I've been drawing all my life...alot of practice in there...
As for being limited to stick figures i think that if you really wanted to draw and you worked at it, you'd be good at it...what music do you like by the way, and do you like cartoons? I just want to get to know you and I realy don't know anything about you yet...
