CUATROS SEMANAS

Aloha honeybunches! :) How are we all? Golly, it has been a while. Almost 4 weeks actually. That's one entire month! Sorry about that, just wasn't feeling the blogging vibes recently. There's actually so much I have to blog about and I don't know if I'm going to be bothered writing about ALL of it. Oh well, I'll try my best and if you get bored out of your wits, feel free to press that x button on the right hand side of your screen anytime or use any other method to close ya browser. :)

Righto! First event: FRAYNEY FRAYNE SPEECH FESTIVAL :D

Frayne was heaps of fun despite the fact it took us 8 hours on the bus to get there. We shared the bus with another girls school and they were lovely, a little bit loud but very lovely. We got to our accommodation at around 6 or so in the evening and the cabins were so cute. I unfortunately didn't get people I liked in my cabin. hahah, just kidding, love you Tash, Michelle and Kimberley :) The cabin had the own little kitchen and bathroom and bunk beds and couches and tvs and everything. I don't think I'd mind living there for a while. :) We then went to meet the other schools to eat dinner and mingle and stuff and ya know ;D I met a couple of the people I saw at Seeds which was AWEEESHUM because they also remembered me! (awww) But the best part was when my so called friends locked me outside the cabin so I was left banging on the door like a very sad person while they ignored me. :( YOU FEMALE CANINES. HOW DARE YOU?! No, really, it was not a good experience. So they are no longer my friends. hmph. Just kidding, I actually found myself laughing along since Kimberley fell off her chair so ya know, THAT IS KARMA FOR YOU GURLLFREN.

 After that, we all hopped on a bus to FOOOOOODD! :D We ate our food and then went back to our cabins and chilled out for a bit, just doing silly stuff like making and taking photos and stealing freebies. (I have a organic facial bar thing which I haven't used yet, in fact I don't even know where I placed it. :S :D

After lots of mucking around (Cindy walking in with her cat onesie) (pictures below ;D), it was finally sleepy sleep time. There was a room with a double bed and so we all decided to sleep in the same bed with Tash sleeping on the mattress on the floor and had a heart to heart to heart to heart (geddit)? till about 2 or 3 am when we were supposed to get up at around 7 or so. Not such a good idea.

We woke up to Kimberley's loud ass alarm and groggily got ready and loaded all our stuff onto ze bus. "We're off to see the Wizard of Frayne!" Nope, that wasn't funny in my head and it's not funny in text. Anywho, we were on a bus with the other lovely girls school who were oh so nice though a little random so the bus trips were never boring. HAHAH  We arrived at the school where the competition was taking place and ate breakfast. I think the orange juice was a little bit weird because there were about 15 girls waiting outside the toilet after drinking it. :S (Me included)

The verse choirs were then led to the hall and the debating and public speaking competitions were held elsewhere. We met lots of really nice people because everyone in the country is so goddamn lovely. Besides a select few but the nice outweighed the mean so all was good in the 'hood/country. The school captain then began the competition with an extremely elaborate speech (I'm kidding, it was more like, "Welcome welcome. Let's begin this as quickly as possible so I can limit my time here." Though he was supposedly very good looking as evidenced by the many girls from the schools crowding around him like some sort of superstar. I personally didn't really see it. WELP.

 On to ze performance. There were a couple of really really amazing performances and you could tell that they took these things super seriously because their performances were basically perfect. Ours on the other hand, weren't so much. I think quite a lot of people stuffed up (including me) due to nerves and  intimidation I guess? But oh well, we got up there, performed our piece which was a nice tribute to J. K Rowling. I was secretly hoping that the judges would be crazy closet Harry Potter fans but I guess not since we didn't place. :( Despite the not so successful result, I think everyone had heaps of fun and that's all that matters. :) I laughed so much when one of the girls from the school that won the competition because I didn't realise anyone took it THAT seriously. We're just reciting and dramatising a couple of poems, it's fun and all, but it's not like a life or death situation where I would think anyone would actually burst into tears.
After our performance, it was lunch which I actually can't remember what we ate. HAHAHA, hey, it's been four weeks, cut me some slack here. You probably shouldn't, I deserve this. Cindy, Tash and I also went to watch the public speaking finals after that which was AWESOME because they were all soooooooo bloody good and passionate and just really really really brilliant. They all performed wonderfully and they had really professional cue cards and it was just fantastico! The girl who won the public speaking competition was absolutely fantastic; her topic was about preserving language. She delivered her speech with such ease and she didn't sound like a know-it-all which was refreshing. It was just really nice, succinct, witty and winner material (which of course she did)! :)

It was then the end of the day. :( So we all hopped on the bus for the 8 hour bus ride home. Most of us slept, read or told each other scary stories as it was getting dark which was VERY VERY FUN. :D We also stopped for pizza in which I basically inhaled about 4 slices because I was so hungry. I know, I'm a fatty, leaf me be. EHHEHEH tasted soooo good though. And the rest of the ride home was pretty quiet until we finally got back to school at around 10 - 10:30pm. The school we were on the bus with were so lovely and one of them said they couldn't have asked for better busmates. NGAWWWWWW :') So we're all friends on facebook now so weeeee yay!

Anywho, I'm tired as heck now and I did not realise blogging about Frayne would be that much. I really need to work on limiting my words. Sorry about that honeypies. I will see you tomorrow when I blog about the Winter Sleepout and hopefully the rest of these four weeks that you've missed out on my ever so important news. HAHAHAHAH NO.

Goodnight you lovely people! :D SLEEP TIGHT! AND WAKE UP ALL LOOSE AND READY FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIVES. :D I'm bloody puking rainbows now. I will leave before I embarrass myself any further. Toodaloo! holy shite, I jsut realised that could be misheard as "to the loo" as in "to the toilet." well. ummm.  G'NIGHT!

MAARY.

Pulling me socks up

Good evening to you there. Yes you. Your bored little bugger. :D Only 51 minutes until morning! weeeee! I know, I'm surprised too; two days in a row?! SAY WHAT? You're wondering about the title aren't you, I can see you, pondering away thinking "What's gotten into Mary this time?" or if you're Ellen then it'll probably go along the lines of "You're whack, why do I even bother to read this?"
I'd like to announce to the world that my homework ethic is finally back. It's taken around 4 or 5 weeks but it's finally here. This little brain of mine has finally realised that it's not holidays anymore and I need to "pull my socks up" if I want to even pass this year. I actually did my maths homework! (CUE THE GASPS OF THE AUDIENCE)

Oh, you guys remember the book I blogged about last time right "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer, well I got Ellen to read and I'm so glad she finished it today and liked it. Though she didn't cry and bawl and scream and howl at the end like I did, at least she liked it. Today I borrowed the two sequels "The Lost Boy" and "A Man Called Dave" and I'm going to take them to the six hour long bus ride to where we're staying for Frayne along with my "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" wooo!

Masterchef has ended and I forgot to watch Big Brother today and no youtube videos of the people I subscribe to on youtube have been posted so I actually don't have anything to rant about. Oh right, I'm going to have to perform a monologue about a psycho who strangles his date after scaring her and I did a practice bit of it today so my drama class could help me out and I found out all my Mary-isms which are Mary mannerisms. I didn't even know they were so obvious because our mannerisms just come so naturally. And so I walked around school today just looking at everyone's mannerisms which was kind of cool. There's the hair flicking, thumb twidding, lip biting, feet tapping, feet dangling, finger scratching and it was just really exciting to watch. God, maybe I'm getting too into this psycho character. I feel sort of stalkerish now...welp.

With that lovely note, I will leave you. SAYONARA BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!! :D


MAARY.

sorted. but not. but sorted.

HUJAMBO! I'm from Swahili! Did you forget?! Hahah, no I'm just kidding. Though I do love languages though as you may have noticed. Okay, time to get straight to it because a lot of things have happened these past two days that I have found necessary to blog about. :)

Okeydoke, yesterday I went to the Melbourne Uni Open Day which was really really fun and helpful and now I know what degree I want to take, what subjects I might enjoy and my way around Melbourne Uni. :) I was planning to go by myself so I wouldn't get distracted but I met the lovely Kimmo (yes, the glitter and wanderlust one) and Nina, our friend from school and we decided to explore the uni together. I was very grateful to be able to meet up with them though because I don't think I would've enjoyed my day as much if they hadn't been there. :) (Thanks guys)! We walked around heaps and the most exciting things included getting a free mocha (they were amazing), free coffee samples, getting a photo taken with a bear (as shown below), looking at the reptile van, taking our photo with the 'grape with the orange guitar' (don't ask) and attending a creative writing lecture in which I was thinking "Tash should really be here right now." So I think I'm going to do a Science and Arts double degree so I can keep my options open and have my studies catered towards my interests and my hobbies. :)wooo I'm so glad I finally worked that out because now all I have to do is get the marks which means I finally have motivation to do well in school now. yay! :)

After a very helpful day at Melbourne Uni, Kimmo, Nina and I randomly met our friend, Van, and it turned out they were going to the same party. So after the girls did all their getting ready girly stuff for this party I wasn't invited to (i hate you hillary, just kidding, HOPE YOU HAD A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PARTY HILLARY AND I HELPED PICK OUT YOUR PRESENT SO I HOPE YOU LIKE THAT TOO! :)) On my way home, I bumped in to a guy setting up the soup van and asked him how I could get involved and so he told me that I can help him prepare the food next Sunday! WEEEEEE WOOOO I'M SO EXCITED. I'M FINALLY GETTING A JOB!! But not really since it's volunteer work but I couldn't be happier to help out! :)

MASTERCHEF ALL STARS:
I'M SO ECSTATIC, OVERJOYED, HAPPY JUST PROUD THAT CALLUM WON BECAUSE HE DESERVED IT SO MUCH AND HE'S SUCH AN ADORABLE PERSON AND AMAZING CHEF AND HE'S SO HUMBLE AND GENEROUS AND KIND AND CONSIDERATE BECAUSE HE BASICALLY GAVE HALF THE PRIZE MONEY TO CHRIS' CHARITY AND OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS CALLUM HANN!!! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF AUSTRALIA'S YOUTH BECAUSE YOU HAVE SHOWN US THAT YOUNG PEOPLE CAN ACCOMPLISH BIG THINGS TOO! CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATS CONGRATULATIONSIIESSSS!!!!!!!! :D :D

That was yesterday so now on to today! :)I had a really fun, relaxing, nice day out today as well. A couple of my friends and I were going to go to the city and explore little shops that we'd seen before but never had the chance to go in today but sadly, half of them couldn't make it. :( Instead, Ellen and Tash and I went to Readings to use our book vouchers we had received from school last year. We spent probably around an hour or so in Readings and Tash eventually bought three Greek Mythology books (no one saw that coming), Ellen bought a book about making chocolate (again, surprise surprise) and I bought 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I finished the Sherlock TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch a while back and I loved it so I decided to give the books a try. :) I'm quite excited to read it actually. After our nerdy book-buying session, we went to Brunetti's and drank mochas like sophisticated ladies. (HAHAHHA, NO NOT REALLY) We then walked all the way home and stopped at the McDonald's in the hospital and looked at meerkats and ate stuff and chatted as Natasha was engrossed in her book. It actually does sound really awesome so far going off what she's told me about it. :D She'll probably blog about it later to(night/day). We then go to my house and we were going to watch "Nightmare Before Christmas" but Tash was still engrossed in her book, Ellen wanted to play piano and I was yelling at Michelle for the reason I will blog about a little bit later so we decided we'd watch it another time. :)

Today I had a mental breakdown. I'm actually not even exaggerating, I know I do that a lot but this time I'm not. Rightio, so here's how it all went. We got home and then I checked my twitter and realised ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IS GOING TO BE LEAVING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE YEAR. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO NOOOODFJDJFHSDFNDKJFHBADSHFBDSJFBDS. I was basically swearing at the world and spammed her on every social network site she had access too and called her and yelled at her like some crazy person. But to be completely honest, I'm really really really happy for her because I remember when she didn't get into this school in year 8 when she tried out for it, she came to school crying her poor little eyes and she was devastated for about a week. And now she's finally done it! She got in! And as a friend, I have to be supportive and caring and considerate and I have to let her go because I love her to bits. OH god, I'm going to be a mess at the end of the year. An absolute sobbing, weeping, crying, howling mess. But Michelle, if you read this, I'M SERIOUSLY OVERJOYED THAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GO TO YOUR DREAM SCHOOL AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU! :) <3 :=":" p="p">
Okay, so now all that is done, I have to go and wash the dishes and I might blog later about whatever I can think about. :) Bye, you gorgeous examples of homosapiens!

MAARY.

MAARY.

Sveiki!

AHOY THERE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! :D How are we all? I hope you're doing great because it's great to feel great! :D I'm in quite a happy mood since I've just finished part of the 40 hour famine but more about that later. I'd like to firstly apologise for not blogging for a while, every time I tried to blog something, my mind went completely and then I would proceed to watch Dan and Phil. ;D Even though I haven't blogged in a while, a lot of things have happened since then and I'll try to make up for lost time.

The music teacher made us these cute little frames
as a present! (Sorry I don't
know how to rotate the photo)!

Alritey, so the performance! The performance was actually a pre-open day for our school at the shopping centre and I must say it worked quite well. There were so many amazing talented people at our school that I didn't realise were so amazing! The choir sang beautifully with "The Sound of Music" and it was just so nice to see little old ladies enjoying it. :) The concert band was really cool too, they played a medley of 'Eye of the Tiger' and the Celtic Lullaby or something like that. My performance didn't go too well since I got massice stage fright and couldn't breathe properly during my performance but the support from friends and family made me realise that I really do go to a special school with so many special, beautiful, caring people. And then the performance didn't matter as much.

When we were walking around the shopping centre, a lady came up to us and said "You girls sand beautifully. Well done!" I almost started tearing up because that was such a sweet gesture and :') Also, on the same day, my friends and I helped a lost little girl return to her family. It was just the sweetest thing. Seriously, we felt like we were in some kind of reality tv show called "find my lost daughter" or something. Here's how it went down. Latasha and I were just siting on the bench eating lunch during our break and we saw a couple of kids just playing around. The little girl went with her mum somewhere but when the mum came back, her daughter had gone somewhere. The mum was frantically looking for her daughter, standing on tables and screaming her name and everything because she was only about 6 or 7 and anything could've happened to her. Latasha and I were extremely worried for this little girl but we had to go back to the stage as our break time was over. As we walked towards the escalator, we suddenly saw the little girl standing there and a security guard trying to help her. As I tried to comfort her and walked with her to where her mum was, Latasha, Natasha and a couple other friends ran to tell the mum that we found her daughter. When we got there, the little girl's mum was all "WHERE WERE YOU? I WAS SO WORRIED!" and they did the whole run up and hug thing and we were all standing there in awe of this beautiful moment. It was really a day to remember.

Subject Selection! I finally figured out what subjects I'll be studying for next year! YAYAAAYYY, FINALLY! I'll be studying Biology, Chemistry, Literature (if there's a class running due to the small number of people who want to do it, and if it doesn't run then I'll be doing Drama which isn't so bad), Methods 3&4, Vietnamese 3&4 (hopefully, need to see if I can pass this exam thing) and the compulsory English and Religion. I'm quite happy with that because I'll be doing Vietnamese out of school anyway only one day a week, so I won't have as many subjects as other people. :) I dropped Psychology for Literature because I haven't had the chance to do Literature since Methods 1&2 clashed with EVERYTHING and I know, somehow my gut feeling says I will love it. :D

More ballroom dancing! We had our second ballroom dancing class with our brother school on Thursday and every one was still just as nice and sweet. :) Some of them even remembered my name which was lovely! :) No one is taking it seriously though, we're all just mucking around and having fun which is all that matters because I really couldn't careless if we get marked on 'participation and effort' or not. I'm looking forward to the next class because it's nice properly dance and not just pull out the 'sprinkler move' and the 'Disco Stu move' any time someone mentions the word 'dance.' LOL

40 HOUR FAMINE! Woooooo, I should've done this more often, it's so fun! For the 40 Hour Famine, I decided to give up food, furniture and technology. I started giving up food at 12am Friday and was rewarded with a McDonalds lamb burger from my brother when I finished at 4pm today. I gave up technology at 3am Friday and was able to use technology about 2 hours ago! YAYYAYAYA I still have the furniture one to go though hence I'm sitting on my bedroom floor with lotsa blankets which is actually really comfortable and cosy and I might do this more often. :D I stopped using furniture at 9am Friday when I accidentally slipped up and sat in one of the chairs in homeroom and so I can use furniture again at 1am Sunday. So far, it has been a great experience, I didn't even feel all that hungry despite the fact I had to starve during doomsday. I've probably complained about doomsday enough on this blog so you probably know what I mean. It was fun sitting on the floor during classes and for some weird reason, it even helped me concentrate better as I had no one to distract me. Some of my friends were even nice enough to sit on the floor with me at tutor when we were playing cards. :') And major major props to Anna for sitting on the floor with me for every single class on Friday. If you're reading this, I love you mummy. I'm so proud of you too! And Kimmo, if you're reading this, keep going, do it for the kids! :D We believe in you even if your dad shoves chocolate cake in your face! :D

FRAYNEY FRAYNE FRAYNE! So, the Frayne Speech Festival is next Friday and our school's verse choir is no where near ready but we always pull through eventually. :) I'm very excited for it and I'll tell you more about it when I come back from it. I'm scared if I put anything up here, someone from another school might google Frayne Speech Festival and see all our school's ideas and even though they're not fantastic, we do still have pride for our ideas and it would suck so bad if anyone stole them. :( So, more about that soon! ;D

'Such a story cannot fail to move' Mail on Sunday

BOOKS! LOS LIBROS! SACH! I have to tell you about this book called "A Child Called It." I borrowed this book so I could finish it during the 40 Hour Famine but I basically finished it in one afternoon and bawled until my mother asked what was wrong and so I told her a summary of the book and watched her reactions switch from anger to sympathy to anger to sympathy to ANGER ANGER ANGER and sympathy. The book is part of Dave Pelzers autobiography and he recalls how he was abused by his mother as a young child and it is so disturbing and horrifying that anyone could do that. He was emotionally, psychologically physically abused by his mother and his father is too scared to do anything to stop it from happening. He gets abused so much as his mother says that he is the reason for all their family's problems until he is not even considered a person anymore, he was an 'it.' I won't spoil any more for you because you really need to read it to feel the despair and inspiration and the naivety of a young child. It it actually the third-worst case of child abuse ever in the state of California.There are two other books to Dave Pelzer's autobiography which I am going to borrow immediately from the library when school starts because I know these book will be ones I will remember for a very long time.

More books. This one I haven't finished yet but it's definitely a lot more happier than the one above. It's called 'The Book of (Even More) Awesome' and it just lists and explains the little things in life that make us happy like 'when your hiccups stop' or 'when you go out of your way to step on a crunchy looking leaf and feel the satisfaction of that crunch.' Little awesome things like that. The Ultimate Optimist's book. Which I like to think I am. :) I haven't finished it just yet because I only read it when I'm feeling a little down about the day and it immediately makes me grateful and chirpy again which is AWESOME! I only got the book for $5 too so it was a real bargain. :)

The cover ( I couldn't decide which was prettier)!

The inside

I thought I'd leave you with a baby photo of myself
with Harry Styles hair before it was cool. :D
Ever the trendsetter.

So that was basically everything I was going to talk about today! I hope I made up for a lot of lost time. I'll try my best to blog a little more often and with more pictures too, I'm sure you're getting sick of these lengthy uninteresting posts. So don't worry, I'll try to show you things with various mediums so woo! Anywho, I'm going to go and watch Skins now because it's a teensy bit inappropriate to watch when my parents are home! LOL

Bye! Stay warm, beautiful and AWESOME! :D

MAARY.

P.S: The title means Hello in Lithuanian! :) SUDIE!

Rambly Bambly

Why hello there! It's been a while hasn't it? I'd like to say I have an excuse for not blogging, but to be perfectly honest, I've just been lazy (well, no surprises there). A couple eventful things have happened over the past week so I thought I'd let you know about them.

1. Ballroom Dancing
So I don't know if you've read Tashie's blog about her experience of learning Ballroom Dancing with our brother school but I wasn't in her group so we couldn't be awkward potatoes together. :( The entire experience was actually quite fun though! All the boys were really nice and sweet and tried really hard not be awkward (as were we) and there were a couple problems here and there, one being the teacher couldn't teach properly, I mean, if you're going to teach someone how to dance, you'd think which foot to use would be specified, but no. She didn't tell us whether we were going left or right or clockwise or anticlockwise or anything-wise until we stuffed it up so badly. LOL Aside from that, I also had some nice moments with some of the primary school guys that usually revolved around the words "holy shit, Mary, why you so short for?" and "Shut up, (insert name here), why are you so tall for?" Overall, I'd have to say, first Ballroom Dancing class = fun! :D

2. Subject Selection
Okay, on Thursday is was subject selection evening and after that, I'm feeling conflicted about whether to accelerate in Maths or Vietnamese. :( But more about this when I actually decide and ya. :)

3.Masterchef: ANDY WON WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! You can read about how obsessed I was with Masterchef on my Twitter feed during the final. Warning: I was not in a stable mindset at that time. Just sayin'. BUT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANDDDDYYYYYY!!!! I WAS SO SO HAPPY WHEN HE WON I JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR AND STARTED RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE ANNOUNCING TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY "ANDY WON!!" EVEN THOUGH THEY WATCHED IT WITH ME.

4.Big
This is the name of a Korean drama, one of the only ones that I've watched and haven't particularly liked. SPOILER ALERT. I REPEAT, SPOILER ALERT. SPOILERS INCLUDED/PRESENT/STOP READING IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH THIS DRAMA. POILERS-SAY. (I even said it in pig-latin so you can't blame me anymore). I'm extremely disappointed with the ending of this drama because to be frank, it didn't make any sense. The happy ending was way too forced and there were way too many plotholes everywhere. I mean you have no idea what happens to Kyung Joon's body or Seo Yoon Jae's soul, what happened to their parents, if the miracle worked out, whether Kyung Joon seriously gets him memory back, I mean what the hell? I know you have no idea what I'm ranting about at the moment but if you do ever watch, which I highly recommend you don't even though I'm a big fan or Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung because she's actually quite adorable in the drama, still, don't watch. It basically sets you up for disappointment. Mary no happy.

4.Performance
I have to do a performance at a shopping centre in two weeks to promote my school and  I think I've picked out what songs I'm singing but I need to make sure before I announce it to the webbynet. :) Hint: I think I'm doing a song from Pocahontas :D Anywho, if you haven't realised or are a part of a different part of the world, it's actually almost 4am where I live so I should probably get my ass to sleep so I can study for my Maths test on Monday. Ughhh, why did I even remind myself. :(

Bye sweeties! I'll try my best to blog soon! :)

MAARY.

Aloha!

Ciao bellas! How are we all? I'm pretty great actually. Just finished the first week of term 3 and school homework hasn't piled up that much. Well, before I go into detail about all the things you MOST DEFINITELY need to know about me, I must apologise for not blogging for about 3 weeks. I was just so lazy and out of it on the holidays, I seriously was basically hibernating and watching old Disney movies and Korean dramas. Alright, fine, so a couple eventful things happened to me on the holidays and I will not proceed to blog about them all because I know you care. HAHAHAHHAHHANO.

Experience Days

So I signed up for a couple of Experience Days at a Uni to see what it was like. I already told you about he first one which was the hospital visit where I got to touch organs. The second one I went to was a Marketing, Advertising and PR Experience day which was quite fun and I learnt a lot. For marketing, we had to identify the target market of a certain product that will be coming out next year in Australia. (Yeah, that's right, we go to see it first cos we special kids). In our Advertising workshop, we had to come up with a slogan for that very same product and in our PR workshop, we had to create an event using as much money and facilities as we wanted to promote that product. It was really fun to try and think outside the box and our teachers were old hilarious men! One was even Scottish which gave me huge Brave feels. :D

The third one I went to was a Community Justice Day which was quite good. We had a few workshops: Youth Work, Social Work, Legal Department and something else I can't remember. :( Well, I really loved the Social Work activity which was really getting into this character named Sandy who was troubled in every single way and learning the psychological techniques to try and help her and support her in her situation. It was really interesting and I'm considering it as something I'd like to do in the future. I also loved the Legal Department activity because it was a nice little play of Sleeping Beauty Vs. Prince Charming in court which was awesome. The Prince was charged with assault for kissing Sleeping Beauty without her permission. Even though, Prince Charming saved his kingdom and obviously didn't mean to hurt Sleeping Beauty, he was still charged with assault because whether Prince charming saved the kingdom or not, Sleeping Beauty was still kissed without her permission. It was hilarious and they gave us lollies in the end so that's always fantastic! :D

The fourth experience day I went to was a Health and Medical Sciences day which was quite fun but probably not something I'd end up doing in life. We had about seven workshops and I'm way too lazy to list them all but I met lots of really nice people but forgot to get their emails. Oh well! Even our dearest Kimmo came! :D

TASHIEEEEE DEAREST'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to 'Lunga' (only she will get this, sorry) for not posting a happy birthday NATASHA post sooner. So, for Tashie's birthday, she took us out for burritos which we ate with all the grace of the Queen. (Only Ellen did, actually). Tash and I, on the other hand had stuff raining from our burritos on to our table and everything. We also went to see The Amazing Spiderman 4 which had Tashie fangirling all the way home, that crazy girl. Anywho, thank you for a wonderful day, Tashie and I hope you had an even better day even though we were all feeling a little down in the dumps that week and I hope you enjoy your present! ;) That I swear will eventually be coming. I swear. I promise. :D LOVE YOU!

First week of school:

My first week of school has been pretty fun actually. Not too much homework piling up so far so that's good. My electives this semester are Drama (FUDGE YESSSS) and Multimedia which isn't too bad because the teacher is very chill and calls me "Specs" because I have white specs. LOLOL Isn't he just hilarious? Anywho, it's the dreaded doomsday for me tomorrow so that means tutor, viet school and piano tomorrow. :( WAAAHHHHH! Alright, I'm going to go work on my English powerpoint and practise piano. Bye dearests!

It's great to be back! Hope to blog soon! :D love you guys, stay safe and well, and keep warm this shite ass winter!

MAARY.

Happy Birthday Kimberley!

Good evening pastry puffs! How are we all? I've been extremely lazy for the entire day basically just reading Wattpad and doing a couple of chores here and there. In fact, in this very moment of time, I'm watching my brother exercise and suffer as I watch Gary make beautiful meat pies on Masterchef. hehehe Well, anywho, it was my friend, Kimberley's birthday party which was very fun and exciting since I got to see most of my school friends again. :) We went to a buffet and the food was absolutely yummmmmmmmmo yumm yum! The dessert, especially, was fantastic. OH MY GOD, THE CHEESECAKE WAS TO DIE FOR. I wish I wrapped that shit up in a napkin, Asian mum style. I also reunited with a friend I met way back in grade three at a piano concert and I met her yesterday so that was very nice! :) We also played laser skirmish which was lotsa fun and I came 2nd in my team which is some sort of achievement, I guess. Another lovely thing that happened was that Kimberley liked the present I gave her so woop! :)

I'm actually way too lazy to blog right now, I'm watching Leap Year, which is one of my favourite movies even though I've seen it about two or three times now. :)

Stay classy beautiful people! ;D

MAARY.
