Day 06 — Whatever tickles your fancy
Thursday, June 24, 2010
Even though they won the game today againt Serbia, the Socceroos still don't qualify in the top 16, and Julia Gillard made Kevin Rudd cry and is now the new PM of Australia? What else will this day bring?
So here I am on blogger again, instead of studying for my last exam. Whenever an exam or a due date draws nearer, my goals start to depreciate.
1 week before bio: One week is a lot of time. Must get a HD. Must, must, must. I will read through my notes and do the sample questions multiple times.
3 days before bio: Why aim so high? A D is good enough. I'll just go through my notes a couple of times and do the sample questions once.
1 day before bio: Who cares about HDs and Ds? I just need to pass. Must cram notes and do at least half the sample questions.
...And this exam is worth 80%.
I am so screwed.

Day 04 — Your favourite book
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Okay, this is gonna be a bookwormish kind of post. Read at your own risk :]
I use to go through periods where I would read several books written by a particular author and when I get bored of their style, I would jump to another author.
In primary, the main 'author phases' I went through were Roald Dahl (=D!!), Andy Griffiths (Just __ books), Mel Odom (Sabrina + Mack Bolan series), Paul Jennings, Michael Hoeye, Morris Gleitzman, Emily Rodda (Deltora Quest ahaha + Rowan series + Teen Power Inc.) and J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings yo). I really liked Michael Hoeye's children's mystery novel series The Hermux Tantamoq Adventures, particularly the first novel Time Stops for No Mouse.
At some point during those phases, my cousin introduced me to the first Harry Potter book and I was hooked. The first movie then came out, leading me to read all the other written HP books at that time. Yet until now, I still haven't read the last HP book LOL (*shame*).
Some stage in year 7/8, I started reading Jane Austen novels ahahaha. I have three copies of Pride and Prejudice at home and have read it at least four times rofl. Saaddd. There was also the Witch novel & comic series, though I gave up on that because I grew out of it (it's still on going). After that, there was also a Lemony Snicket stage where I read and bought all the Series of Unfortunate Events books, and I remember lending it to so many people right before the release of it's final book ahahah. Emily introduced me to manga sometime in yr 7/8 as well, so I started reading all these manga books online or whenever I went to Kino. Then it was John Marsden (Tomorrow series), Robin Wasserman (Seven Deadly Sins series), Dan Brown novels. I can't think of another other author phases I had, on the top of my head lol. Then there were also the miscellaneous novels in between all of this.
When senior years started, I just read anything that was recommended or sounded interesting, regardless of the author.
Anyway, back to the point of this post.
I actually don't know what my favourite book of all time is cos I like too many ahaha.
So in the end, this post was pointless and didn't even address the challenge.
The end~
On a side note, all my bio notes are done! :D
Now, memorising time.

Day 03 — Your favourite television program
Monday, June 21, 2010
Okay, so I seriously cannot pick just one favourite tv show. So here are my first 8 favourite tv shows that came to mind, not including asian/tvb shows.
Grey's Anatomy
Bones
Scrubs
Glee
How I met your mother
Veronica Mars
Gossip Girl
Heroes
I'm not very good at this challenge thing lolol =D
Day 02 — Your favourite movie
Sunday, June 20, 2010
For those who know me well, you would know that I'm a massive movie freak. I watch, download, rent, buy, re-watch, borrow, burn, re-rent, and tape movies whenever I can. I watch and re-watch them when they air on TV. On YouTube. At the cinemas on a weekly basis during holidays. On planes. On TV displays at Big W, JB Hi Fi, etc. I'll be one of those crazy people raiding the shelves of DVD stores during any their sales.
I basically love movie watching.
So it's pretty hard for me to pick my absolute favourite film of all time, since there are sooo so many that I love. I think I'll have to go with Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, starring Hugh Jackman (love), Christian Bale (doublelove) and Scarlett Johansson, for now.
I'm pretty sure when I look at this tomorrow, I'm gonna change my mind ahahah.
On a side note, the previews for season 2 of Glee looks very promising :D Can't wait.

Day 01 — Your favourite song
Saturday, June 19, 2010
I've noticed that alot of the tumblrs I'm following are doing/have done the 30 day tumblr challenge so I've decided to join the bandwagon :DAnd I'll start today.
I don't have an utmost favourite song because there are way too many to pick from. And my song obsession changes every day depending on my mood, the weather, life's daily occurrences, etc.
Anyway, today's songs of the moment are Lenny Kravitz's I wanna get away, Steppenwolf's Born to be wild, Tom Dice's Me and my guitar and Lisa Mitchell's Coin Laundry.
First challenge completed :)
