Massive update & food poisoning
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Okay, so this post turned out way longer than expected. And when I say long, I mean LONG. So you have been warned. So if you have some spare time or you're trying to procrastinate, but can't find anything to do, and you're feeling stalkerish or curious about whats been going on in my life, then enjoy reading this nonsensical rambling of gibberish.
Everyone is going to eventually hurt you in the end, whether it be some stupid, vengeful clown at a circus who 'accidentally' whacked you with his balloon pumper for not buying any of his animal balloons or the chef who cooked up your beef pho at Pho 76 in Green Valley yesterday and gave you food poisoning. I know that Bob Marley says you just have to find the ones worth suffering for, and the ones worth suffering for are usually the people you love. But sometimes suffering is just inevitable.
Take my food poisoning example, for example. The chef indirectly hurts you, but he isn't worth suffering for, right? Doesn't mean that you won't suffer though. You get abdominal pain, you lose your appetite, you sweat like crazy. You go to sleep early so that you won't feel the pain, but you keep waking up every 2 hours wanting to vomit and yet nothing comes out. Your stomach area keeps hurting and you're just so tired from being interrupted in your sleep.
Then at 4am in the morning, you wake up from the pain and feel like you need to vomit, like every other time. This time, it actually happens and next thing you know, you're leaning over the toilet bowl spewing your guts out. You see slimy, disgusting, mongulated forms of the meat and noodles you ate from pho the day before and at this point, you're thinking 'Fuck you, Mr. Chef-man-who-made-my-pho-and-gave-me-bad-meat'.
You finally get some good hours of sleep, only to wake up early for uni. You head to the bathroom, then everything starts spinning, and your head starts throbbing. You sit down on the floor, your mum asks you whats wrong, but you can barely hear her words. Everything looks blurry and your mum sounds like she's talking from afar. You're just about to lapse into unconsciousness, but then your mum starts to gently shake you and gives you water. But you're already deemed unfit to go to uni that day, especially since its 6 intense hours of tutorials and lectures non-stop. So now you have a lot of catching up to do, since it was your most important uni day of the week and waking up early was pointless. And now you're stinking like that green asian healing oil thing. All this suffering just because of a case of bad, bacterial-infected meat.
Moral of the story is that you cannot trust that some people will not hurt you, even if they have always been trusting and reliable. It's the people who you care about most who will disappoint you the most. Nah, the actual take home message from this story is that pho is dangerous.
Apologies for the negativeness- this nausea is getting to me. And I'm pretty sure I contradicted myself at the end of the story and changed the original point I was trying to make, but whatever. Nausea's fault.
While I was suffering through this, all I could think of was the day that I found out I made it to Hurlstone. It was one week into year 11, on a Monday and I had noodles for lunch. I felt really queesy on the way home and I remember coming home to my dad, smiling so widely at me that I thought his teeth were about to fall off. He then says "I have some news to tell you" right before I ran to the bathroom to throw up. Within moments, my brother ran to the other bathroom to throw up, so we concluded it was definity the noodles we brought from home to have for lunch that gave us the food poisoning. I then ask my dad what the good news was, then he tells me that he'll tell me later when I'm feeling better.
I immediately think that I got into Hurlstone because there was absoloutely no other reason why my dad would be so happy about me and know that it would make me distraughted that he had to tell me when I was in a better mood. I raided the area where our letters are kept and didn't find anything. Eventually, my dad told me that they called and told me to come in for the interview the next day and to sign out of my current school. That was a horrible day for me, mainly because I was feeling sick added to the fact that I never wanted to go to Hurlstone before and had to try out because of my parents.
Looking back now, I have no regrets (not like I had a choice anyway lol). It seemed like such a big deal at the time, but when you put it simply, I just moved schools. The atmosphere was lovely and it turned out to be a pretty good change of environment for me (even the cow poo smell that hits you when you enter the gates...loljk). What I was mainly worried about at the time was that I was going to lose the friendships I had from Macfields and that I would miss that school too much. Some friendships were lost and I did miss Macfields heaps, but I'm also glad that a lot were retained and it just goes to show you which friendships ended up being more important to you. Not that I'm saying the ones I lost weren't worth keeping. (Then what are you trying to say, Belinda?) But anyway, I guess you gotta sacrifice some things when there's a change in your life.
I met people at Hurlstone, some who have become my closest friends now, so I genuinely have to say that for me, the change was for the better. I kept old friends, plus I made more. And I didn't realise how sloppy and corny-like this post has turned out to be until now. Ahem..
Moving on, update on the daily happenings of my boring life. My uni timetable this semester is pretty good: 4 days a week with fridays off. Not as good as last semester, but my subjects are actually more relevant and practical now.
For anatomy pracs, we get to work with cadavers (dead human body parts and limbs) and although they reek of chemical odour for being preserved in some preserving liquid thing for so long, its way better than the pH testing pracs I had last semester in bio. I'm pretty desensitised to the cadevers cos its just muscle and bone bundled up together (the skin has worn off), but the fingernails and toenails still gross me out. They're long and yellow and zomg. I can't describe them; you'd have to see them to get what I mean.
Some of my other subjects aren't that pointless anymore as well. In one of my tutorials, we're learning how to make all these types of equipment, like hand/arm splints and orthotics. It may sound boring, but it's actually pretty fun. Lots of sketching, cutting, carving, molding, liquidfying. Reminds me of year 10 art.
Speaking of art, I haven't done anything artsy in a very long time, ever since I dropped art mid year 12. I promised myself that I would complete my half-completed major work by the end of this year. That's looking kind of bleak at the moment. I had also planned to get my Ps by the end of this year too. Hopefully, that will work out because not being able to drive is placing so many restrictions on me.
Anywho, I think I shall end it here before I bore you with more random thoughts. Kudos to those who made it this far. If you didn't get this far, then you wouldn't be reading this and you just saved yourselves a lot of time and I completely understand..... and go screw yourselves for disregarding my heartfelt ramble. I'm kidding.
Whew, that was long. I'm off to get me some food, if you can call congee real food.
Have a good night, guys!

Ladakh and Haircut
Thursday, May 13, 2010
So I've never actually used a razor before - until today
Dad asked me to shave the back part of his hair, cos he can't see that area and hence can't do it himself. It turns out he just wanted me to trim the bottom bit of it, above the nape of his neck.I found out he wanted this trim after I shaved off half a clump of hair behind his head.
*facepalm*
translated from cantodad: aren't you shaving a bit too high?
me: no, didn't you want me to shave everything off?
dad: WHAT?! *takes pocket mirror and puts it behind head and stares at wall mirror* what...have...you...done?! now i have to shave it all off! your mum hates it when im bold!!
He wanted me to do this:

But I was doing this:
So then I had to shave everything off his head. And now he looks like a monk.
And now my mum and brother and even my grandpa cannot stop laughing whenever they look at my dad.
I feel so bad LOL.
Anyway, yesterday was the Ladakh warehouse sale!!! They were trying to get rid of their 2009 summer collection so everything was $10, so that's saving at least $50 on each clothing item.
I got up at the ungodly hours of 4-5 so that I could catch the 530am train to the city/surry hills. Ahaha I'm crazy. I still can't believe I let the girls convince me to go LOL. We skipped a lecture for this ehehee.
The sale started at 7 but we didn't get in until 8 cos the line was so long. So glad I woke up early for it, or we would've waited way longer cos there we so many people behind us afterward. The actual place was on level 4 of the building, so the line stretched through the whole staircase and out on the streets rofl!
The sale itself wasn't as great as I expected, cos the room was really small and it was just filled with racks of repeated stuff. You had to really look for the nice things.
Females spotted: 129837284762976
Males spotted: 2
One being a worker of the shop/warehouse, the other being the boyfriend who carried all of his girlfriend's stuff AHAHHAA.
I spent $80, and that was after filtering out all the clothes I grabbed lol. That's pretty less compared to some crazy people ahaha, cos my friend heard someone counting '23...24...'.
I'm happy with all of my items ...except the jeans, which turned out to be too small for me. My ass is way too big for them LOL :'( I'm gonna ebay it and get some profit mwhahaha.
We all finished by 9.30 and trained it back to Lidcombe. Stopped at maccas before going back to uni. Did some assignmenting for a groupwork presentation and went to my tute.
Overall, it was totally worth hanging out with the MRS people and shopping.
I had heaps of fun, so thank you for making my day, girls ♥

Rolling down hills and spinning around repetitively, then chasing trees is all fun and games until you get a massive stitch from laughing and running too much, and accidentally body slam the ground. Even then, it's still all good LOL
Shall think of new ways to entertain ourselves during our 4 hour breaks mwhahaha.
Happy Birthday to Linda Chan and Sarah Waide!!1! :)

A much delayed post that I was suppose to put up 2 weeks ago.
Brother: Belindaaaa, why do you have to go to uni during half of my holidays? *makes a sad face*
Me: are you only complaining cos you have to do all the chores now?
Brother: yes.
Chello guys, uni mid-sem break is over.
What have I been doing? Nothing. It's all just a blur, which can only mean one thing- I wasted my week procrastinating yet again, when I should've at least attempted to open up a text book, let alone catch up with uni notes. Laaame
Well, one noted thing that wasn't a waste was the picnic on Friday with Hurlstone homies, going to the movies with Jo to see Alice in wonderland :D, and having dinner at MC's ...which I thought were the most productive things I've done ever since uni started, meaning I'm still on holiday mode eventhough the holidays were almost 2 months ago.
And speaking of uni, contrary to the popular belief, I actually quite like my course.
A couple of years ago, one of my closest friends sent me an email called "Instructions for life", and I remember reading "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." At the time, I thought this statement was quite ridiculous and contradictory. I mean, why would it be lucky if you didn't get something you wanted?
But now, I get it. I think this statement suits well with my current situation. (hopefully)
At this rate, I don't think I'll be considering (attempting) transferring into pharmacy next year at all.
That being said, it doesn't mean that I like uni. See, what I like about my course is actually just what I'm going to be doing when I graduate- the studying part of it is however, a major turn off. But I've always disliked studying in general anyways haha.
What I thought would have been good about uni is that it's a fresh change of environment, though it hasn't been particularly like that for me. I still feel like I'm entering a high school when I go into my campus, because it's so tiny. I somehow still manage to arrive late for my lectures though lol :P At least I wouldn't get bored during my long-winded 3-4 hour breaks, because I could always just walk right across the street and visit the cemetery. /sarcasm intended. Which reminds me, last week when it was really foggy in the morning, the cemetery was like a cut out scene from a thriller movie. It looked sooo spooky.
Something that has been somewhat positive about uni though, is the prospect of meeting new people. I don't know about you guys, but I usually feel excited yet daunted by the idea of making friends. I'm always afraid of rejection or that people will judge me based on first impressions. It sucks how prejudiced the world has become.
When you eventually do meet people who you can occasionally talk to, you get pulled into this feeling of accomplishment and kind of forget that there's going to be things you don't like about them, for me anyway. I almost think that they're perfect and that there won't be any conflicts in the friendship; and I almost always fall into this trap. I kind of temporarily put a blind eye to the annoying traits I see in the beginning, because it's not hard to brush off. After a while, when I become more attached to them, I start to see more good qualities about them and then the qualities I don't like and tried to ignore snap in.
And this is where the conflict begins. Recently, I realised that's where I'm at, with the people I've met at uni. I get annoyed, but I don't say anything, and it just continues. Maybe they're in the same position as well, I mean, obviously I have annoying traits too. After this, I guess the only way for me to overcome it is either for that person to change their ways, or for me to accept them for who they are and get pass my annoyance.
It makes me really miss high school and all the friends I've made before uni. It was so much... easier. And most of those friends already know me for me, and I can act more like myself around them. I'm hardly ever me at uni.
(I think I think too much ahaha)
It's okay. It usually doesn't take long for me to get pass this stage anyway.
Hope uni is treating you guys better than it has been treating me =)
Much love, Belly

today jamie, lei and i went to hogwarts! *insert harry potter music* [LAMMMMMMMME]
i thought the movie was overall, great :DD it was pretty funny and gave you the right reactions to the mood of different scenes and everything. The side story of the trio's love life was entertaining and pretty cute to watch, but the dark-magical-wizardry side of it was kinda a let down :(
I dont think there was enough of that stuff, considering the main theme is suppose to be 'adventure' and 'mystery'. yeah, just my opinion, but i still liked it. XD
and i now agree with jamie; Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley is sooo cute! lol i dont know, but you learn to like the actor if you liked the character they acted out. Luna Lovegood is cute too ahaha.. she's such a lostie.
Then after the movie, we had ramen~ it was yumilicious.
Going back to that store again next time i go city :)

extract from convo i had.
"I was planning to leave with only telling a couple of people.
and then like, next week, when we have theory, someone saying, "hey, belinda hasnt been in for a while" and THEN thats when they realised ive dropped.
but then ms ross called everyone in and said "BELINDA'S LEAVING US" *glares at me*
*gasps echo the classroom*
and then
WHATWHYTRAITORjhdfgzbcsjfdnk
and yeah
i dont know
i really miss it
and its just a subject. geez belinda, its not like youre leaving the school.
its everything about art i'll miss
the people, the carefree and relaxing environment during pracs, the lame jokes by sabby and spaz, the long talks/gossips.
drawing i can always do anytime outside of school.
but i kinda wanted to submit something in for art at the end so i can look back and say, oh i did this during my hsc year."
I've decided to drop art because it eats up too much of my time =(

Irvin and Hima's 17th birthday outing today!
The playgrounds were so fun.
I cant really recount my day chronologically right now since I'm so tired so this will be random.
- Bought stuff for the party in the morning, but I had to wait like half an hour for my dad cos he was at Dick Smith
- Trekked to sand and water with shell and hima and back. Did some grudge photos :D
- Played in the playground. the net thing was cool :)
- Black rope thing at the playgrounds didnt cooperate with me :( I couldn't get down for a while
- The food was nice... mmm
- Irvin was burning ice
- Tips was played on the rope net thing ahahhahaa
- A toddler started staring at jamie and talking to her LOL Jamie, you pedo :P
- Made a human =) and a human |=) on the grass ehehehe (monobrow)

- Played BS and uno
I got really lazy with my camera and didn't take that many pics, so I taxed jamie's :D
I'm so tired
Sleeptime.

Closeness
Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Just a random thought.
Talking to someone a lot doesn't necessarily mean that you're close to them. It's more about your level of trust for them. If you talk heaps with someone, but you don't really trust them, then how can you say they're a close friend? But then I guess if you *are* close to someone, you'd talk to them alot anyway. God, I am confusing myself.

Fast and Furious is purely and mighty awesome.
Fast cars, hot guys, what more can you ask for? :L
Well actually, there's no hot guys in the whole movie series imo, but Vin Diesel is just so cool he brings out the awesome and the mighty in the movies :D with the exception of 2 Fast 2 Furious.
And no Ryan, it's not because he's bald that he's cool :P
I'm satisfied with this movie :) I'm hoping they will make more sequels.
Anyway, I watched it with Helen & my bro + his friends today.
Then I crashed over Dona's all arvo doing random stuff like usual
and we had yummy migoreng and eggs

I stayed back after school today to print out 30 pages of notes :P
and Ash coincidently also stayed back to photocopy stuff. So I didn't end up catching the bus alone AGAIN ^^ We are so fated to be bus buddies :)
and thank you for being thoughtful of me yesterday, Ashley xD
By the time we finished doing our work in the library, the train that we ended up catching was the one that Macfielders were catching. So I saw them again today. Total juxtaposition to yesterday though. It was a like a blue m&m in a jar of red m&ms.
But I should've seen it coming though, since this is not the first time I felt like this. I guess yesterday kinda made me forget that.
yeah, I wont elaborate.
After confirming the BOS thing for our HSC at the careers office, I took the 2010 guide for studying at the university of sydney, and last year's cut off mark for pharmacy is actually 91.90! :O
It's so low now! this is gooooood, except, I cant really rely on that, since it might be a more popular choice this year, so the cut off mark might be raised again. Also, I will probably slack off at times now, since my aim isn't as high as before.
Formal notes today, but I'm not too hyped for it lols. The formal is the least of my worries right now ><
All I did when I came home was eat and sleep. I woke up at 8 and ate again and then did nothing productive. I really gotta finish notes this weekend! ooohh and I'm trying out tishler's tutor thing this sunday! kinda anxious though :/
Today I was in the vicinity of the food I want. I half ate it and it was kinda nice, not delicious, but nice. THANK YOU JOANNE FOR GIVING ME IT! <3 and my brother finally solved the rubiks cube today!! hooray for my teaching skills! (actually, he hadnt been able to solve it because I couldnt teach him properly, and had surrendered to youtube rubiks tutorials ==") There was something else I wanted to mention, but I've forgotten now and I just realised this sentence is pointless.
p.s. Yesterday, Davina and the others said I look like I've lost weight. SO I MUST GAIN!! This is what sleepless nights and the hsc does to you.
p.s.s. According to facebook, if I were a pokemon, I would be the turtle SQUIRTLE.

Study!
Thursday, March 19, 2009
We got our senior science results back today.
"Now after you guys get your papers back, don't drive yourself to the harbour bridge and drop yourself off it... yet" -Mr Coombes LOL
My results are okay, but not as great as I had hoped and I'm disappointed because I actually did try my best for that assessment :( At least its better than feeling regretful that I could've done better.
so I saw Macfielders today since I havent seen most of them in a while and I cos didn't go to Kim's saturday dinner.
While I was waiting at the station, I talked to Mr Robson and he's like one of the most easiest teachers to talk to, I swear. He even remembered that I talked to him once during term 1 last year at the station as well, also while waiting for Macfields. Deja vu much?
Although it was only for about 20 minutes, seeing some of them today felt pretty satisfying :]
I missed you guys <3
P.S. Sophie's little sister Rachel is so freaking adorable!!
She asked me "what your name?" (eventhough I've told her many times before rofl)
me: my name is belinda
her: belinda?
me: yup
her: you a girl!
me: yes I am
her: but belinda boy name
nawwwwww

Time

Happy Burpday Kimbro xD
It's kinda funny what time does to people.
It can make you feel productive or it can leave you feeling disappointed because you didn't use your time wisely.
It can cause change, or no change at all.
It can make you alter your perceptions about something, or do nothing to them.
It can cause you to increasingly miss someone or to gradually forget someone.
You forgot that we use to be really close friends and now you talk to me like I'm some stranger you just met out on the streets.
Jackass.

NG of Australia
Monday, March 9, 2009
So today art students went to the National Gallery of Australia to see the Degas "Master of French Art" Exhibition :]
It was Canberra Day today, so there were lots of bike riding going on and it was really crowded. I mainly slept on the bus on the 3 hour trip to Canberra, while Sian, Milly and the others kept on waking me up with their sin
ging.Anyways, the exhibition was cool =D I really liked a lot of the Degas' work, but I was moving quite slow through the exhibition since I was reading almost everything. Hence, I didn't end up doing the Treasure Hunt for artworks properly. LOL instead, Sukhi and I, and a few others bought the prize of the treasure hunt ourselves at the Souvenir shop, which was a poster of Degas' 'The Dance Class' oil painting.
Then, we went through the main exhibitions, and if there's great ones, there would also be the abstract WTFROG ones. E.g. there was this oil painting of an orange curve. We were just staring at it and tilting our heads, trying to figure out why it was so significant.
Afterwards, Sukhi, Rebeca, Xanthe and I went to the "sculpturegarden" t
o eat our lunchies, and take photos with the sculptures. The misty machine got me and sukhi so wet ==" and I couldn't hold my legs up in the first pic, without showing my shorts :(

It was mufti day today and the only reason I remembered this morning was because I couldn't find my uniform and then realised I already put my uniform in the laundry basket last night :)
There's gonna be another mufti day on tuesday, right? Kinda odd having two mufti days so close together.
Ugh, so much work these days. Or maybe it's because I've been leaving it pile all up to the last minute :S
When you are friends with someone and you guys become close, you get to this stage where conversation just flows and you don't have to think beforehand about the possible things to talk to them about, like you would do with someone you barely talk to.
I'm in a strange case where I seem to be close to this person since we talk a lot, but conversation doesn't really go naturally and I still have to think ahead of things to say.
This sucks ass :(
P.S. I can't believe Chris Brown actually did abuse Rihanna :(
What the hell is wrong with him? No matter whatever she did, he doesn't have the right to do this to her. Violence against women? AMERICA SHOULD SAY NO!
I hope Brown gets what he deserves and learns his lesson.

Posting this kinda late, but yesterday (Monday) had lots of LOL moments.
Well actually, now I can't remember any except that I laughed alot :D
At lunch today, Thang pretended to sackwack Daryl's brother HAHAHA WTH RIGHT? right after Daryl's brother did it to someone else :L and Irvin, Jamie and I were just watching it. He was so adorable, he hid behind his friends cos we kept staring at him ahaha :D
That was basically the highlight of the day.
And I had a whole tub of ice cream (the one litre one) cos English is fishing stressing me out.
