Good afternoon friends :)
Ahhhh it feels like its been awhile since I've posted on here, and to be honest, not much of great interest has happened. Uni has taken a surprising turn where I'm actually starting to enjoy it again, although I'm starting to sleep in more which is not good :( This week has been pretty busy. I did my chem quiz on Wednesday and got 7/10 which is pretty good, literally I thought I'd failed. I actually texted like 5 different people that I fucked it up so thank the lord my powers of guessing aren't too bad :P
I've also started a group assignment for human biology and it's actually starting to come together. While there may be some backseat action going on, I got told my work was 'awesome' so its official...I'm awesome. Speaking of my awesomeness, I actually think I'm peaking right now in terms of my intellectuality - which is actually quite sad because my peak is not that high. So basically it all started when I disproved Max (the smartest chemistry genius in the world...its not even an exaggeration). So basically it was a practice question for our chem quiz and I needed him to explain an answer to me and then he's like nono its *insert other chemistry concept*...3 hours later, my idea was right so BAM! I literally had never felt so good in my entire life. OH and I got 5/5 for my bio prework quiz...which I have never gotten before. I am a genius. I'm sure there were other times when I had felt smart...but in this moment I cannot remember for the life of me. But basically what you need to know is that my brain is finally getting back into the rhythm of knowing things.Thanks brain. I owe ya one.
On another note, the weather is getting freeeeeeezing! Winter is definitely coming and I've ordered my jumpers for this winter off ASOS. 20% off at the moment so I strongly suggest you go have a look as sizes are running out fast!
So back to uni, I was walking with Kieran the other day and happened to mention my Wombats phase (as in the band, not the marsupial) and he looked so surprised. Do I not look like an indie/alternative music listener? Maybe its because for the past month I've been raging about Backstreet Boys. Hahahaa. Anyway, basically the point of this story is to tell you I've found a new favourite band as recommended by K. Meet the Jungle Giants...

hey lovelies :)
hope schools treating you well! Personally, everyday feels like death. Today we had a chem prac exam...I think it's safe to say I am not ranked 1 anymore :( sadlyf. 8 & 1/2 minutes to go a gravimetric analysis is just not long enough, I mean when we did it in class we took like 2 periods...literally :( The only good thing about the prac exam is after. Me, Daniel, Karen, Kenneth, Janne, Tiffany and Sophie chill-banged in the senior learning centre and went off on many tangents hehe. The rest of the chem class was either in the library or doing their exam. I really want to know how everybody went but from what I hear they're on the same boat as me. :/

Okay travelling back in time, on Saturday night me and my sister - selina - had a movie night :) We were going to go watch The Dark Knight Rises ...or the batman movie but we don't really like batman...we're more of a marvel than a dc family. what can I say...thor > everyone AHHAHA ..or is it just Chris Hemsworth? (L)___(L). Instead we watched Crazy, Stupid Love and we binged in a whole crap load of junk. There was popcorn, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, lemon ice tea, chocolate milk, cheddar cheese rice crackers, chicken jumpys and choc chip tiny teddies :9 :9. It was such an awesome night we plan to do it once a month ehehe :)

As much as I hate to admit it, I am highly addicted to caffeine. Today we ran out of milk in the morning so I didn't have a cup of tea and I had a raging headache throughout the day. When I got home I couldn't take it anymore and I had tea without milk...and now its gone. Coincidence? I think not. :( :( It not funny how addicted I am. Hey, my names melanie, and I'm a caffeine addict.

I got my maths topic test for linear equations and got 30/36 YAYAYAYA :) That's so much better than what I expected...and Cindy only beat me by 3 marks so YAYERRR (A)

Anyway,
Stay addicted and remember read your questions in prac examssss zzzz.

ello friends :)
hope you're all surviving the freezing weather. personally I'm surprised I have lost my toes to frost bite. However, due to intense rain and wind, I've had to take refuge in the library- huddled up in front of a gas heater. Can I get gas poisoning from those?
Weather  - 1. Mel - 0. :(
Actually spending lunches at the library isn't so bad. On the first day I taught Mary some chem which made me feel really good! I'm finally starting to get the hang on calculating moles and mass-mass questions and all that other shiz so yay! :)

Well, I finally got my english half yearly back. 24/30. :) :) :) I'm so so so so happy that I didn't fail :D I was surprised when I saw my creative writing mark - 13/15. I was seriously about to cry. It was even marked by Menezes and Devlin :D :D Congrats to Denise and Youtry who aced it, 27 and 26 respectively. You guys did our class proud :)
I also got my extension mark back - 11/15 YAYAYAYYAYAYA :D I am so glad I didn't fail that as well! As far as I know, 2 other people have gotten 11, and its the highest. But I haven't asked anyone so as far as I know, I'm equal first. WEEEEW :) Congrats to Sarah and Jessica! You deserve it girls :)

So today I missed out on a double period of english and maths to do some music conference thing. It was such a waste of my time. Seriously just spent like 4 hours talking with Karen and Daniel. SOO FRUSTRATING! Mainly because I asked if I could not go but nooooooo; thwaites insisted it was the most amazing thing that couldn't be missed :@ *sighhh* now I have to spend my weekend catching up. yay me :(


But enough complaining! Much to look forward like...ITS THE WEEKEND! :)
I hope you all have a great one!
stay beautiful and remember when life gives you lemons, keep 'em, because hey, its free lemons!

DON'T WORRY! BE HAPPY!

ALOHA FRIENDS :)
I figured I should blog because I'm in such a fantastic mood. To say the least, this week has been pretty amazing :) Basically we've just been starting new topics; which basically means getting new syllabuses, and getting half yearly results back. So far the results are as follows:


Chem: 52/55
Maths: 41/45
Bio: Haven't gotten all of it back but 14/15 for multiple choice

I also got back my advanced essay on institutions which I got 16/20; not my best but she marked everybody really hard so I'm so grateful I scraped in a high B! :)

Can I just say, I am SOOO glad I got that mark for maths. Honestly, I walked out of that exam wanting to die :( Originally Nguyen wrote on my paper 38/45 and I was happy, but slightly disappointed. Thankfully I re-counted all my answers and found the missing 3! YEEEY :) I came 2nd in my class with Cindy beating me by two marks. Congrats girl!. I could not be more proud of her; if anybody deserves results like that, it's Cindy.

Actually its quite funny, because after we all got our marks, Nguyen decided to give us all a pep-talk about how our marks could improve. He opened with something along the lines of me and Cindy getting our marks because we work our asses off. This is not the exact truth. HAHA. Cindy does. I literally sit next to her and distract her ehehe (A) I'm preparing her for the future guys! I'm a representation of distractions that could occur during exams (: HEHE But yes. I'm so proud of her...and myself - I'm trying very hard not to sound up myself :( EHEHEH guys 91%! life is great right now. I would like to thank my brother right now :') thanks for your patience (L)

Okay chem. I think I must be the luckiest person alive. That exam was quite tricky and I am so glad I can bs short answers haha. The three marks that I lost were because I didn't know the answers so I'm quite happy to lose them because at least I can learn from them :). I know now :
a) Aluminium is the most abundant metal on earth
b) An allotrope is like graphite and diamond and thus would have different melting points.
c) How to properly draw Lewis Dot ; well Alex is going to teach me but lifes still good!

I swear, I wasn't even there to look at the sheet and see that I came first. HAHA I came back from debating and people were like oh congratulations...for whattt?! hahaha :) and then Janne told me my mark and I was like WHUT THE HELL?! I would like to thank Tommy now for helping me with Chem whenever I needed it!

Oh and we won debating :)

I'm kinda scared to get my bio and legal results back but heres to a great week!
stay happy and remember women aren't in moods, they are moods.

howdy guyssssss :D
OKAY soooo today is a much better day. My relationship with chemistry has healed a bit. We're on speaking terms now so its progress :) I spent lunch with tommy and he fully explained the redox equations to me and actually went through it...really slowly. :D I made the realisation that it was exactly a week ago we spent lunch together except I was helping him with english. the student has become the master?
Anyway, at any rate, Tommy has been an awesome friend and he's a great teacher..even if he is a bio-hater.
me: ngaw don't stress about it [3u hsc half yearly]
T: I'll try not to :)
M: good :) and if you ever need someone to laugh with tell me I'll tell you some grrreat biology jokes.
T: biology itself is a joke. JOKES. oh god. 
M: do you want to die?
-----
M: LOVE BIO (L), wish it wasn't on the same day as chem. FML
T: I feel sorry for B. Chem, Pd, Textiles all on the same day.
M: yeah I heard. I was like ngawww :( can you pity me as well please?
T: I feel sorry for you...doing bio.
M: RUDE.


Secretly he loves it. Or he will one day. The biggest smile was on his face when we found out chem and bio were on the same day.

Now that me and chem are better...music has decided to be annoying so now I have the shits with it. I love how I talk about them as if they're actual people HAHAHA. It's decided it wants to have all this theory I have to learn :(. Even though these last 2 weeks have been really cool - doing nothing but prac- I suppose it was time to buckle down and do some theory. but we have some dumb definitions task due next week; and here I was thinking this week I could just write notes. :( FML.

I found these photos on my phone today, I had totally forgotten Karen had taken them last...tuesday during music.

hey guys :)

Labels: Chemistry, half-yearlies, Tommy

Whoa its been almost a week since I've blogged last, man time has flown past :(
Well Miss Lim has finished all her assignments. I still have chem to hand in tomorrow but its printed and ready to go. I don't care if there isn't sufficient amount of information I DID IT! :@:@:@:@:@:@

Onto more happier news, I've been helping a few people with their english essays and its so refreshing to have people ask me for help (A) hellooooo self-esteem boost :)
Okay so I've only helped 2 people - Tommy and Ricky- but they actually understood what I was saying and they were answering my questions and asking questions and AHHH it just made me feel good :) So yeah, people don't believe me when I say I'll help them anytime they're just like oh yahh shes just being nice but I really do mean anytime. I gave up 2 of my lunchtimes to help these friends of mine and I'd do it again for them anytime..ANYTIME :D

ALSO thwaites has approved my film-song for my music assessment - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.  Yes it sounds creepy but its so pretty as well. Click it.
ANYWAY I gotta jet guys. sorry! I'll post soon updating everything!
Until next time, stay calm and remember everything is edible, the question is will it kill you?

HAIHAI :)

Well I think its safe to say its definitely the end of term because god knows everythings now due! :(
Firstly, english assignment. If I have to write the word 'institution' one more time I think my head will explode. I should clarify, its our AOS and its seriously the worst I've ever heard :( Our texts are even pretty shit. First, a play, that no one has heard about, thus I cannot find information on it via google -dammit- and secondly, a provided picture, which is a photograph, thus techniques such as symbolism, metaphors etc cannot be used...BECAUSE ITS NOT INTENTIONAL *cue stress.
I don't know, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic about it all. :(

Secondly, legal assignment. I've also finished this but it needs some work. I feel like I'm repeating myself so much :( Gonna fail it...and its worth 20% WTHH. so much weighting :(

I also had my music assessment this week. I couldn't have asked for a better group :') I'm seriously thankful to every person in my group for the amount of effort and resistance to complaining they put in. I'll admit I was a bit tyrannical but they're all such great people and I'm glad everything came together in the end. So a BIG thank you to Cindy, Daniel, Phillip and Minh for an awesome term of blues - even though we're sick of it. (L) Love you guys.
GUYS I want you to meet, Tommy :)

In chemistry
Me looking at Lam
Me: I miss you
Lam  O_O


Lam totally loves me (:
Thus I would like to dedicate this post to one of the loveliest people I know.
It seems like a long time ago when we used to go tutoring together. If only I actually paid attention, maybe I'd be as smart as him hahaha.

I would like to thank Lam for helping me in chem and also asking me for help in English, its such a self-esteem boost and that one time you did you sounded so grateful after.

Lam is one of the nicest, funniest and kindest people I know. He even makes a great girl when you shove make-up on him and put him in a dress ;). God knows you can pretty much talk to him about anything and everything. Even when you're crazy depressed, he can still make you smile.

There are two types of people in this world.
1) The people who should change.
2) The people who are just amazing and should not change.

Its safe to say that Lam comes under the second category.
Lam if you ever change I will personally hunt you own.
I will also hunt you down if you dont marry Theresa :) just kidding.


So thats Lam guys (L)
I miss you
xx

hihihihihihihihihihihihi :D
If you can't tell already I'm in a super duper grrrrreat mood :)
A letter from Miss Ky has arrived and I feel very loved :'). I miss this girl. Its funny. The fact I got it gave me an amazing sense of happiness, but also the fact that it came at a time where I didn't feel 100%. Where I felt like shit to put it bluntly. It all started after lunch...

Mr Nguyen decided to chuck us a maths test on basic arithmetic and for once I was feeling okay about it because for once I actually did my homework. yay me :). Except...when it got to the test, one question stumped me. It wasn't hard, it wasn't complex it was to prove something. Sounds simple enough right? WELL you know those days when your mind just cannot think in the way you need to when you need to prove something. You need to be creative and think of the easiest way to get to A to B right? Today just wasn't that day. And of course Mr Nguyen was all rah rah no tricks, if you can't do this rah rah rah which made me for frustrated D: ALSO this question was taken RIGHT out of the textbook...it was a question I knew I could do...I just didn't know how.

Suffice to say I got it wrong...completely wrong. But thats okay. I think. I've come to terms with it. Everything else was simple enough. But I guess I was just disappointed in myself because I had done it before...I just didn't know how to do it again; and the thing is, thats what maths is. :/

Onto happier news,
I'm finally getting things in chem now yay for me :). its all becoming slowly clearer and I'm copying off Jeremy less and less :D YAYAYAYYAYAYAYYAA. watch out chemistry peeps, Miss Lims catching up :)

Unfortunately I cannot say the same about extension :( The book is amazingly hard to read. I can't read it for more than 30 minutes which is a real bummer because I KNOW it has the potential to be amazing - much like Tolkiens stuff or George Orwell (nineteen eighty-four) , all amazing, all amazingly hard to read. :(

Oh let me tell you about my dream last night. I dreamt Lam and Theresa got married :D I don't think I've mentioned them before but they're both amazingly smart and amazingly cute...together eehehe :) and I was their priest/celebrant :) WOOH yay for me. It was so adorable. He was wearing a blue tie (thats what I remember weirdly) and Theresa looked amazing. She asked me if she was wearing Vera Wang (in real life) but I was too busy conducting the ceremony to ask dream theresa who she was wearing ehehe. But suffice to say it was an amazing wedding, much like how I would like mine. So Theresa and Lam - if you're reading this - if I dream this 2 more times you HAVE to get married. and even if I don't, you still have to get married. I'll even become a celebrant...just for you guys. :) ehehe

It was funny to see how much talk my dream sparked in chem. even our teacher was like whats this about marriage. she's very anti-relationship. but from what I heard, Karen's the maid of honour...and vy will be cock blocking EHEHEHHEHEH :D...as usual :)

I swear chemistry is the class where the randomest things get talked about. For example...
today:
scene: Lam and Daniel were talking about working out their asses...I think.
Daniel: Don't you use the ... *imitates rowing machine*
Lam: NOOO thats for quads.
Daniel: But its also for ass a bit.
To which I came into the scene with a O_O. And then they started tell me Lam has a "firm" ass. To which Vy confirmed. She knows because she's grabbed it. Only vy. Only in chem. ehehe :)

Well I guess thats the end of a ridiculously long and uneventful post. :)
See y'all later.

The Jungle Giants - I am what you want me to be

Click it.

While on the subject, you should check out the following JT songs if you haven't already. Michael Jackson (L). Although he looks psycho, his voice and music are actually the best things in this world. So enjoy lovelies!

Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake - Love Never Felt so Good

 Justin Timberlake - Not a Bad Thing

So besides new music and newfound intelligence, I also have new experiences! This morning me and my sisters took out our mum to high tea in QVB. For your reference its called The Tea Room and if you haven't been you must! The interior design was absolutely amazing - it actually felt like being on the Titanic - and the staff and food were faultless. I had the Jasmine Gold tea so if any if you happen to go it is highly recommended :) It was a lovely breakfast to share with the girls in my family and I think my mum really enjoyed it. By the end we were so full and we couldn't finish our cakes haha! I hope you all spoil your mum this weekend and remember its the little things that count! 

 

 

 

So that's all for now folks. I genuinely hope you all have an amazing weekend and that your mothers appreciate everything you do for them. 

Stay happy and remember be what your mum needs you to be.

Meet Daniel :)

Boi and Phillip :)

We're so productive yeah? Well, it's clear Boi and Phillip are :L Thats basically what we did for a triple period. Music was great...until it decided to be all gay :(

Anywhooos, this weekend is looking particularly exciting for me.

Saturday : Dancing & Movie Night 

Sunday : Hunger Games date with Karen (L)

Have an awesome weekend guys, stay lovely and remember when you know a song/movie through a wall, you know it too well.

xx

well basically if I could sum up my mood for today this week in one word it'd have to be UGHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm just so tired; but not that tired that you can sleep off, its that tired that comes from doing the same thing week in and week out. That kind of tired that doesn't really ever leave you. :(

Well today was terrible. Mainly because I'm terrible at chem :( Maybe it was just today but if I'm struggling now I'm scared how I'm going to be in year 12 :(. One word. Redox. Sad moment when I don't even know what to do. I sat there for a period and a half trying to get it. It was so stressful...I still don't know what to do. Something about half equations..or something of the rather. Anyway, it doesn't matter. What matters is I've come home and eaten half a tub of ice cream to swallow my feelings. My tongue is crazy numb and my throat is so dry but it doesn't matter. What matters is I don't want to kill myself as much now. Lifes great. My next move from here is to ask Tommy for help...but I don't want to scare him away; I get mean and difficult when I'm confused :(


I also got to see the half-yearly exam timetable. it not looking too bad...if you overlook the fact that I have chem and bio on the same freakin' day! cue stress. Today just isn't a good day for my relationship with chem is it? :( Basically this is what I remember...
First tuesday back : English (adv)
Wednesday : no exams - public holiday
Thursday : 2u Maths
Friday : Chem and Bio.
Monday : Legal
Tuesday (last day of examination period) : No exams

Somewhere in there I'll have to squeeze in my extension assessment but thats like a 10 minute interview and a submitted response so its all good :)

Well, that's all for today. I hope next weeks better..much better.
Gonna go get some more ice cream; stay cool (ahh get it? cool? ice creams cool? AHHH) and remember a dream is a wish your heart makes.

Dislike:

• english
• biology
• biology jokes
• morning classes.

Last night:

me: A red blood cell walks into a bar. The hostess comes and greets him and asks if he would like a seat. The red blood cell replies "no thanks, I think I'll just circulate"

tommy: LOL, I get that!
me: SEE biology is funny!

T: and where's the fun in funny?
M: at the beginning?

T: Exactly! Biology is only fun at the beginning...and horrible at the end.

LMAOOO. Secretly he loves it, I know he does. He also has said he'd help me in maths and chem which is awesome because I'm only mediocre in those subjects...and he's wayyy above mediocre!

Speaking of chem, I've finally started my assignment. WOO :) its not too bad. just finding the resources is long :( Oh wells, hoping to have it finished on Sunday.

ALSO I'm soo exciiiited to go watch The Hunger Games with Karen :D yes we're gonna go see it (L). Cannot wait. it'll be a nice reward for finishing all my assessments :D WEEEW. Plus it'll be me and karens first dinner/movie date (L)(L).

ALSO, this afternoon I got to walk home with the second newest addition to my friend list ALEX :) - drawing to be added HAHAHA. He also is so nice!
Me: So stressed, so many assignments, plus I'm so over english
A: yeah I've noticed you've been a bit down.
I should specify, he sits almost next to me in english. but ngawww :') He is really nice though. He's also reeeeallly easy to talk to. He also likes physics and maths :( HAHAHAHA. But yes we walked together for about 15 minutes and already I sense a wonderful friendship :) I love people that I can just so easily talk to. Which you know isn't hard for me because I just talk...and talk...and talk...but I don't know...he talks..and talks...and talks too so it evens out :)

Anyway, Gotta jet. These assignments won't fix themselves :(

Till anon , stay groovy and remember we all die. the point isn't to live forever. the point is to create something that will. - chuck palahniuk
