2007 was awesome but 2008 is going to be much better!

Hmm due to my lack of blogging on the looop i've decided it's about time i actually wrote a proper blog.. which is funny because i'm writting one when exams are just around the corner hehe, but am i worried nope? because i have so many more hours left until my exams and i'm sure i'll get a chance to study somehow.....

okok that was just me trying to reason to myself why i don't have to feel guilty blogging hehe.

Hmmm after reading blogs, i've decided it's given my inspiration to blog once again, ahha, i mean i used to blog almost every day in a month and then go wow... i've written 29 entrys in one month yay go tim! haha but now not so much the case more like 2 a month, well if u check my personal blog not so much writting there. haha.

Anyways now that schools over and i'm sure we all had those sad moments where we go 'aww im going to miss everything!' I think it's about time we look at the brighter picture =). Well actually i'm still kinda sad but let me rant on about one of my stories hehe. You know back in primary school i was really sad when i graduated from mount waverley north primary, because my best friend wasn't going to the same school as me and in fact my whole primary school wasn't going to glenny except for alex and natasha and sam, soo yeh i was SOOO sad i was like thinking 'oh my gosh i don't want to leave primary school!! i mean i have friends!! i was a house captian, i was a sports leader, i was in production!! rah rah rah rah' yeh.. i had so many childish useless credentials in primary school and therefore a lot of people knew me and stuff. And yeh i actually remember thinking to myself 'it's not fair! send me to mount waverley!!' because i was angry at my parents for not letting me go where all my other friends were going =(, but not anymore because i'm so thankful i went to glenny because seriously i've met so many awsome friends and yeh all happy and all good =). I mean... now in retrospect when i think about it, who would of thought if i didn't end up going to glenny i wouldn't of met all you guys and yeh thats a really sad thought. HOWEVER, it can also be said, that... if u think about it, if i went to mount waverley i'm sure i would of met some awesome people there too and make friends with them and if i was in mount waverley i would probably be saying all the same things about my glenny friends except with them.. funny ey? Anyways what i'm trying to write here is that you know when we all go our seperate ways, to different unis and stuff and it doesn't really matter where we end up because at the final destination (which is just uni ^^V) there are going to be so many potential best friends there just waiting to be discovered. i mean, a stranger can potentially end up being your best man at ur wedding!! LOL, u just got to let yourself befriend them =).

Yeahh i know it's going to be really hard to get out of our comfort zone and friendship group but hey guys it's going to be okay i just know it =). We're still all going to keep in touch!! and yeh emails and telephone calls and BLOGS hahah! Just look at 2008 as a brighter year, i mean it's really a year of so much opportunities! I mean i know i'm delighted 2007 is over come on guys it was our vce! 2008 is going to much better =) And how much freedom are we going to have after exams, like a good few months, we can all chill and hang out everydayy hehee.

Anyways to everyone,
you guys are my best friends
through every situation
you've been my inspiration,
and all i can do is thankyou!

keep in touch all,
timmy.

Stay on target...stay on target!

The scene from Star Wars: New Hope, comes to mind when thinking about the coming weeks of exams. Red Leader's flight dives into the Death Star trench, approaching the thermal vent that they need to torpedo to save the day. Darth Vader and his fighters fly in after them and practically have easy targets, since the trench is so small. Regardless of this danger, Red Leader constantly encourages his wing mates to stay with him and to..."Stay on target!" "I can't hold it!" "Stay on target!" "We gotta move!" "Stay on target!"

Boom. They all get shot, save the leader, who misses his shot and also dies.
Inspiring isn't it?


My study room. Cupboard has little notes covered in things I need to do and things I need to learn etc. etc.

Anyhow, I know have a little piece of paper tacked onto the cupboard next to me with the days counting down. Today marks 10 days til my first exam, and 17 days til I'M FREE. But until then, I must 'stay on target.'
I have come to the conclusion that celebrating before exams is not a good idea. It was good fun mind you. But it's so hard to slip back into hard studying habits. Before this week, I was doing a solid 4 hours every night after school. Now it's so hard to study straight through the day. This evident in me posting here in this blog when I should be STUDYING.

Stress is getting to me as I watch the numbers tick down. I'm usually quite good when it comes to accounting, but the past two papers I've done show that I'm really slipping up. Ditto for chem. Physics is the only exam I'm really prepared for at this moment. Hopefully hard studying will bring up the others.

I'd like to take this time to say: I'LL NEVER. N.E.V.E.R. NEVER EVER. UNTIL THE SUN DIES. JOIN FACEBOOK *shakes fist in the air

Ok, inspiration for blogging gone. I blame matt for making me try to blog something.

So...

...this is how it feels after a bad exam?

No, it was bad, I recognise 'good' and 'alright', this was neither.

edit:

While I was sitting in the exam room, mumbling away in chinese, I immediately had the feeling that I didn't get the best set of examiners, how objectively I took this stance was another question at hand.
But then I came out and Elisa's out there yapping away about how bad room 2 was. And then I'm like ('hey, that's my room'), and then I start yapping away about how sour the one sitting on the left was and etc. and Elisa is like "YEAH!" to every disagreeable aspect of the examiner that I was able to point out.
AND THEN I'm talking to James about it at church that night, and he reckons he knows the sour examiner after I was prompted for a short description. She's the wife of his chinese tutor from last year (or something like that).
[How many people are chinese second language oral examiners, female, have short hair, sound like they're from beijing, and have a consistently sour disposition?]
'Cause that's as descriptive I could have made it, and it correlated apparently.

So, if circumstance begs for truth, then it turns out that she's typically unfriendly and 'such an ass', as Elisa would put it. Maybe I didn't do so bad(?)

No - I probably did bad.
No lies please, Sub-Conscience.

Muck Up Day!

And so I get the honor of posting up about Muck Up Day first! Feel free to edit guys, and add your own choice of photos and comments.

Man, what a day. I was dead tired by the time we got to lunch. All this camera/photo craze drove me...well crazy. It's like, pressure to get everyone's photo! But it's so much fun at the same time. It was great to see everyone come as something. People came up with some great ideas. All the girls were really cute/beautiful/hot =] Some of the guys came as disturbing things. Highlights of my day:

-> Seeing the usually anti-social Marco take part and dress up fantastically!
-> Hahaha my cute penguin friends =]
-> I love Fi's dog! They brought it to complement Where's Wally, and it's so cute!
-> Hardcore 'spies' (you can't fool me under-cover anti-terrorists! NAM SO GANGSTA)
-> ISAAC LOLROFLLMAOWTF...just so wrong. (Ling, stop looking!)
-> Finally having attained my dream of living as a Jedi. Reality is such a pain =[

I also discovered that my camera isn't that dodgey. Turns out that I took 271 photos within the 2 hours that we went around, so no wonder why my battery died. Sorry camera.

Anyway, I'll sign off with a few selected photos. We took a 'photo shoot' at my house the day before, props to my bro for taking them quite professionally. I'll upload them all hopefully...."sometime after VCE" ?

P.S Shout out to my year 11 friends =] Hi guys!

May I just add that Isaac isn't your regular scantily clad muck-up-day-er. He's not the smug popular guy dressed in a size zero female costume, and he's not doing it in a show of confidence, he's doing it cause he's Isaac.

Me(after he put his clothes back on): Omg, Isaac, why?
Isaac: Haven't you seen Futurama? ...You know how - like - Fry's always walking around on the ship in his underwear?...
Me: (right :p)

What? You're done?

Well that's it, guys. No more proper school days remaining.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm melting.. MEELLL-LLLTING... WHATAWORLDWHATAWORLD...........

Off to hong kong, please. I want to skip the mumbo-jumbo-what's-that?-exams? part of school ending :(

This week was entirely composed of writing sincerely heartfelt messages in other people's yearbooks. The inspiration: brewed from dew(?) dribbled off of our heart-strings, much past the tugging-at stage and already torn and left dangling like spaghetti from the rim of a very 'bloody' bowl.... (wth lol)

Not that I've been emotional this week, to the contrary, it's been pretty quick and painless, much like being innoculated, but for Life. Kind of(?).



for my friends

What is there to say after 13 years of being schooled is over? Can't sum it up here, really. My metatarsals(carsals?) would retire early if I did. Friendships were made, hopefully for life, and moments were etched in a very unreliable format, our memory. ...wait! HERE COMES MATTHEW FOONG WITH HIS YEARBOOK-EDITORING.

Matt^: "Never fear, my friends, I have a leather-bound solution to all of your problems*!"
*problems of 20 pages or less :p

^creative liberties taken

Gee, Matt, you really made the end of the year special for all of us :)
The hordes of future-carpel-tunnel-sufferers, furiously writing down their life stories in 300 other yearbooks, they thank you.

And what's that? Graduation on Tuesday? The worldly way of saying, you pass Unit3&4 of Life.



And for year 11s reading:

YOU'RE NEXT!!


end.

Alright alright!



Cheesh, it's like a mob in here. "Post more post more!" "We demand more blagging!" "Down with the Looop!" Call in the troop patrol, and bring out the riot gear please. Set for stun! Roger roger

Anyhow! There's not much to update. Can you believe it, only 4 more days of proper school left. It's such a relief and so sad at the same time. I find myself clinging to every moment that goes by... (i.e not doing any work and just mucking around with friends in classes) Speaking of which, we all got our year book last week! It's pretty snazzy, kudos to Matt Fonginator (Is that how you spell it? I've never called you that before) for putting it all together. I have only one complaint, and that is my book seems to be falling apart at the beginning =[ ah well! pros out weigh the con.

Umm, been studying abit. Probably more than my friend below me at least! I haven't (proudly) touched a game in like...holidays I guess. I've practically used my daily forum board, Yoda's Yarn (a Star Wars RP board), as a break from studying every now and then. Papers every day now, especially the EVIL MATHS METHODS. Which I suck at. 12 RAW ftw.

Err...that's about it I suppose. Muck up day and grad dinner around the corner..fun fun fun! Can't wait...but then again, I can =[

teohsulfate,

p.s Thank you both Johnny H and K.Ruddy for dropping by to say hello! Check out their websites ;D

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry.
I'm scared to speak
And I don't know why.
I don't know what to do.
I tried to keep on going,
but I lost it.
Hope I did not hurt you in anyway.
I'm sorry.


*forgive this moment of emotion. Needed to write this somewhere.

Quick

Well I just thought to myself: 'Hey, just post about how you're totally getting statics and dynamics,' which is entirely reasonable if your complete neglect of english, accounting, and methods is observed.
R=m.a
I have no idea how many times I have written that these holidays. Resolving forces is actually pretty interesting and not that difficult, no lie!

Onto something slightly more interesting, I've finally started my chinese detailed study!!
...And that's where it stops. On a particular day during the first week of holidays, I drew up a mindmap detailing the general history and info. concerning The Great Wall, and haven't gone back to work on it since.

And onto something else that is a little further up the i (for interesting) axis, recently, I've been looking up vintage Sesame Street clips on youtube. And let me tell you this:

Sesame Street epitomises my early childhood.

Sure, I remember the first season of Power Rangers, back when they didn't have all that crap they have now, and later there was Pokemon, but surely, Sesame Street was the "best of all". (...Selena Khoo! Stop arguing! I am your mother! This may be your room, but don't forget-huh: this is my house!)
(I also watched "I Not Stupid" for the umpteenth time recently.)

Ahem. I don't know if any of you share this nostalgia, but there are some things that are just priceless memories:
