Well, ONE of us has to blog!!!!

So HERE'S what I said I'd do, and I thought I'd keep you uptodate!!!

1) Lose the 6 kilos before college so I can fit into all my pretty old kurtas that now make my back flab look like I'm trying to smuggle in cocaine packets under my bra.

WELL! It turns out that our weighing scale at home is 3 OR 4 KILOS HEAVIER than other ones! I checked it at the Doctor's office and I'm much lighter than I thought I was :) WHICH brings my weight loss target to just 3 kilos :) Until I'm a healthy weight. I ALSO bought pants in a size 8.

I'm a size 10 and I wear black pants everywhere.

They are my ONLY PAIR.

So wish me luck :D So far, been adjusting me eating habits n what not...I'm TRYING to put off exercise for as LONG as possible! :)

2) READ. Make good on the Borders Deal. (The Borders Deal with my rents is that after the HSC, as a late bday present, I can walk into the enormous, 2-storey Borders Bookstore and buy whatever I want, on them.)

:) I. Freaking. Love. Books.

Borders is like, Mecca, Jerusalem, heaven......all of it rolled into one. Seriously, people, I've bought SO many books over the last 3 weeks!!!!! *goes all squeeful inside* including:

- Russian classics by Dostoyevsky, Gogol and Tolstoy
- Contemporary award winners like Salman Rushdie and Lionel Shriver
- Cult classics like Jeffrey Eugenides (The Virgin Suicides) and Joseph Heller's Catch 22.
- Recommendeds like Ken Follet's The Pillars of the Earth.
- AND my usual selection of sob stories: the Dave Pelzer books :)
- OH AND GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ. Heard TONS about him, can't wait to read those :)

3) Watch every movie I missed and wanted badly to catch: Borat, Knocked Up, Superbad, THE MATRIX AND LOTR TRILOGIES SO I AM A LOSER NO MORE....and basically everything else I can rent from VideoEzy.

Okay, maybe not yetttt......But I DID buy Scrubs Season 5 and Arrested Development (all 3 seasons). Seriously, people, WATCH ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. It is THE smartest, snarkiest, most intelligent comedy out there.

4) Go to Sydney. Shop. Repeat.

:) Meehee! I DID! Before the Formal and bought really expensive shoes. What. I NEEDED to match my dress and they were GORGEOUS!!! I PROMISE I'll post photos up: I've got a couple of pics from the formal but I look like a whale, so I'll post up indiv. shots of my shoes and dress with ME NOT IN THEM.

Also went with 2 awesome friends, Izzy and Elyse, and we market hunted! Pity Paddy's was closed....oh well.

5) Start making miniatures again....god, I miss that stuff. Such an awesome hobby.

I haven't! I should!!!!

6) Watch Scrubs S5 and 6.

S5 DONE! S6 NOT ON DVD. DUMBASSIDIOTSLAH!

7) Oh, and on the LAST day of the HSC, I'm going to tell That Guy that I like him. It'll be fun, because hopefully by then, I'd have lost a couple of kilos ergo looking AWESOME in my Formal Dress (it's gorgeous, I shall pictorialize it for you as soon as my camera comes back to life) and so, when I see him again after that, I'll just look hot, as opposed to desperate and slightly chubby.

.................

How many of you knew I'd bail?

Sigh.

It makes me a little sad that EVEN THOUGH I'll never see him again, I couldn't find the courage to just come OUT with it......it's such crap, guys.

I wanted to.....but I didn't see him after the exam, just online, and then at the Formal, and I was too happy at the formal to risk screwing it up.

My pride would have hurt too much, I guess.


ANYWAY! NOW THAT LYN AND FEL ARE EXAMLESS, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. BLOG BEFORE I BITCHSLAP THE PAIR OF YOU!

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
1) Dress was a SUCCESS, I still thought I was fat....but it turns out, when your classmates only EVER see you in school uni and conservative Indian clothes, no one realizes you have a rather huge rack. Which apparently, I do.......?

Amilyn says:
Lol

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
2) Jarrod was there......and while he DIDN'T ask me to marry him, I have a PICTURE WITH HIM!!!!!! YESs! FINALLY!!!!! It MAY also be with Shaun, but that's OK :)

3) I won an award :) Got the Citizenship Award medal and the second highest in class (in terms of academic awards), meehee.
` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
4) My favourite teacher was sitting at my table, and her son is REALLY cute :) Her other son's autistic and an awesome friend, and he ALSO won the Citizenship award (double recipients), but Casey (the older son) is REALLY REALLY cute.

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
Meehee!

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
AND 5) My shoes, makeup and hair were awesome....seriously, my friend did my makeup really really well and it looked all natch n schmizz......and my HAIR WAS A CREATION!

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
It WAS! I got it done in a salon and my neighbour did it.

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
AND it looked so PRETTY and FEMININE.

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
And I'm slightly verbal overloading here, but love me nonetheless?

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:
:)

Amilyn says:
Of course!

Amilyn says:
Hahaa

` "the thirteen year old in me is flabbergasted." izzah says:

AND THAT, was my formal in one really breathless, shameless online conversation :D Photos as SOON as I get my friends to SEND them to me (my parents conveniently forgot.)

And The Award For The World's Nerdiest Statement Goes To........

"And after the HSC, I'm gonna wake up at a NORMAL time!!!! Like...8! Or maybe even 9!"

Ya know, as opposed to the 4 and 5 am study capers I put myself through now.

So here's my Post-HSC List, feel free to add some :D

1) Lose the 6 kilos before college so I can fit into all my pretty old kurtas that now make my back flab look like I'm trying to smuggle in cocaine packets under my bra.

2) READ. Make good on the Borders Deal. (The Borders Deal with my rents is that after the HSC, as a late bday present, I can walk into the enormous, 2-storey Borders Bookstore and buy whatever I want, on them.)

4) Go to Sydney. Shop. Repeat.

5) Start making miniatures again....god, I miss that stuff. Such an awesome hobby.

Shut up, I'm not a loser.

6) Watch Scrubs S5 and 6.

7) Oh, and on the LAST day of the HSC, I'm going to tell That Guy that I like him. It'll be fun, because hopefully by then, I'd have lost a couple of kilos ergo looking AWESOME in my Formal Dress (it's gorgeous, I shall pictorialize it for you as soon as my camera comes back to life) and so, when I see him again after that, I'll just look hot, as opposed to desperate and slightly chubby.

TOODLES!

take my quiz!

because i was bored

HERE!

going to JP

i have only been to JP twice since it started charging for entrance and rides, and both times were for bringing relatives that came from abroad to visit. yesterday, i did otherwise - going there just to have fun.

WHAT FUN? 98% of the park is closed. it's a pretty sad sight, i remember its glorious days once upon a time when it was every child's dream. and most importantly ALL RIDES ARE WERE FREE!! in my opinion i think it would've been even better than Disneyland, if it had been famous enough (publicity!!).

ANYWAY! clint decided to go for kart racing.






(allow me to digress a bit here.)
I WANT TO CRY ALREADY!! something BAD happened to my camera! all the pictures came out stripy! i dont know why! THIS IS AWFUL!! i am so upset!! no fel, it's not because i took the camera on the water log ride, the pictures we took before that were already stripy!! why!!! someone please tell me why??? sob.

-end of digression-

YUP it was quite fun really, driving around the circuit and racing one another. best part? OVERTAKING SOMEONE! mwaaahhahahahaa. it's $2 per go, so quite cheap for a thrill...i guess? i only brought $6 but thrice is more than enough. and because we're using a public helmet..we had to use (recycled) hairnets/shower caps or something like that. as disgusted as we all were (except clint coz he brought a SWIMMING CAP!) we just put it on and try not to think about it.

we also went to the mountain splash log rides which i really dont know what it's official name is. took a video for the whole circuit too risking the potential splash and soaking of the camera (AGAIN, it was not ruined because of the soaking im sure!). the video was surprisingly clear and bright despite the insufficient lighting esp in the caves! upload it some other time when i have broadband connection, it's more than 7MB put together.



and of course, we went for the bumper cars! what a great way to unleash your inner child by violent crashing and running into pile-ups with maximum impact and transfer of momentum omg stop talking physics. i think i hurt my neck when i experienced 4 crashes one after another with no time for recovery. it was like "WOW CRAP OMG DAMN!" head turn left right up down left up down right etc. OUCH! i think i had enough bumper car for one year. or maybe i'm too old for it already. or maybe as you grow older, the crashes get more violent. EEEEEEEEE!! no pictures, everyone was in the ride. amir, denise, fel, clint, afandi, hanif, brandon, teo, some other people i dont remember their names (oops).

after all the exhaustion, we took kiddy rides!!




it was all breezy and relaxing swung in the air..until afandi decided to get out of his coach and attempt a jump to clinton's coach behind him!! crazy nut. i really dont know if the operator noticed, he seemed so sleepy (no business wah) but the ride stopped before afandi could make his jump.

among other things,


afandi needs a swim


and they all look constipated


not long after this shot was taken, denise gave afandi a wedgie. he was practically asking for it!! haha.

it was already past 12 before we knew it. wow. 4 hours flew by just like that.

JP is still fun.
