Tastes like magic
There I go again, trying one of those Facebook tricks. This one's pretty cool,actually:
Google search this: (I'm using Rockmelt as my browser so it didn't work initially but I switched over to Internet Explorer and it worked. Goes to show how lifeless I am)
(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
Type the above "equation" into the google search box and you'll get a blue heart graph! Kinda a spoiler though, considering I'm telling you the end result but I just wanna prove that I ain't trolling and it's not like some stupid virus link or butt scanner ad. (:
Anyway, so on the 1st of Dec, the senior class graduated and I'm well, to me, I'm closer to them compared to the others, considering closer age and all. I'm gonna miss them but I'll just make this a short one. And since I'm one who LOVES pictures, let's just let the pictures do all the talking. I made a video for them earlier and these photos are in the video and I took a LOT of time editting this, opening paint, editting fonts,etc. So what the heck, I'll just post it here too so all my hard work won't go to waste. :p
All the best guys. (: Labels: graduation, personal, rant Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas
.........................
I seriously struggle with post titles so what I'm going to do is..my titles from now on would be the name of the song I'm currently listening while I'm writing this post! :) Solves my problem..at least I hope. :) And, as you can see, that photo above is a really old photo of me. Heh, looks better than my present ones. I'm stuck with this Mount Everest of a pimple so there's no way I'm going to snap a shot of myself now. If you're the only thing I get for Christmas, then
everything I wished for has come true. You're the
single item on my list, you're my one and only
Christmas wish.
With a title like that, I'm obliged to do a Christmas post, with the month being December and all. Plus, this song hit on replay is having a huge effect on my mood now. I've gone a little sentimental, and in my mind right now, I'm just whizzing past all the Christmas-es I've ever spent and how I felt back then. Call me weird but there's always a different feeling especially during the year-end season. And yes, I'm in a waaay better mood now that it's already the end of the year. 
I was talking to one of my friends yesterday and I was ALSO listening to this same song by Bieber and he asked me ( no, not Bieber. ) about my Christmas wish (-es) this for this year. Made me think. Hmms. I guess, first of all. To go to heaven. Say whatever you want I think I've been through enough and well, I know life's just full of landmines and lemons. I can't wait for it to end. What breaks us makes us stronger but one of my friends said this : " Do we even have enough bones to break?" Hahah. Anyway, that's the pretty much the best Christmas wish ever. That and having the power to return to a certain time and re-live it. But that's pretty much impossible so I guess I'll stick to going to heaven. Father, take me home. Quickly. Other than that, I'm also wishing for all my friends to come back home. They're all scattered! Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai..COME BACK HOME PEOPLE! (: I miss you guys heaps. It's frustrating to not be able to text you guys. My phone's been lonely and the only one who actually texts me is my phone service carrier. -_- And really, killjoy. At the end of the day, this wish is pretty bogus and impossible. Most of them are coming back during the Chinese New Year and really, that's not nice at all. CHRISTMAS BEATS EVERY OTHER FESTIVAL OR SEASON IN THE YEAR. I'm a bona fide Christmas fanatic/believer. I'm all out for it. I just HATE HATE HATE it when video shops here are already starting to play Chinese New Year music videos with horrible singing, fake actions and tacky makeup. Helloo..Christmas is even here yet! Geez people, missing the greatest event of the year? I'm alsoo wishing for...geez..the more I think about this, the more I'm spouting out more wishes. As if they'd all come true. I wish I could go back in time. Change some things, live differently, improve my actions, take back some words, give a few more hugs, shed a few more tears (wait no, I've cried enough.). But unless I have some kind of Tinkerbell or Genie, this wouldn't happen so I guess I just gotta make sure I have less regret-worthy actions. Did that make sense? Yet again, it's hard to avoid things like these anyway. If I could bring back someone for Christmas, from the dead or anything, maybe I'd like to bring my old self back. People change over time. I'm just scared the better part of me died back then. Maybe my more cheerful careless happy go lucky me. If I could bring that part of me back. Kinda selfish but I don't care..it's for the greater good. AHAH. Sure. It'd be great. I probably also would want to bring back my cousin. Passed away a few years back. In an accident. Friend who was driving the car swerved and hit into a container truck ish thing? I couldn't go for her funeral either. One day, just like that. Gone.  Christmas, really, makes me think. It's always at this time that I start my deep thinking. Too deep at times actually. But yeah, I take this time to really look back on this year, learn from the things I shouldn't have done and regret about the things I didn't do and maybe start on my new year's resolutions. Reflect and go through all the times I've spent with the people around me, remember the people I've met this year, bid farewell to some, but allow the memories I've collected so far to live on and on. I guess I'll just take this time to generally thank everyone for (although this year hasn't been extraordinarily great, it's still good) sticking with me, bearing with me, and well..just being my friend. And to my readers and followers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! *I know it's like only the..what 8th of Dec, I'm just gonna wish you now because well..I just feel like it :) If I could I would make everyday Christmas. teehees. *
"My gift to you is all my heart.
Make my holiday, and hear me when I say
If you're the only thing I ever get for Christmas
Then everything I wished for has come true
You're the single item on my list,you're my one
and only christmas wish. " Labels: christmas, rant Why, hullo there!
Okay I tell you this looked better on my camera. Now that it's really on Blogger, I'm starting to doubt my eyes. I look, like a retard. ...... Okay, geez. I've been totally wiped out these days. Gurhh. Just ended Math tuition. Sorry teacher, my mind isn't working well today! Plus, I've no more lessons in school, so my brain's gone a little rusty. I really dont know why I went to school today. On a Phineas and Ferb scale, I ACHIEVED 0/10. P & F would be VERY, VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ME IF THEY ACTUALLY EXISTED AND WAS THERE WITH ME THIS MORNING. I'm TIRED and right now, I just can't be bothered to do anything else but type. 'Cause I like to hear the awesome speed-typing sound my fingers make when they hit the keyboard. Oh shucks, do I have any English homework?? :O I'm just too lazy to get up and check. SIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
Reading Xiaxue's, QiuQiu's and Cheesie's blog now. HMM. They are really influential bloggers man and so pretty too! :O I'm still struggling to get readers aah! Maybe it's because I talk so little here on Blogger. Geeeez. Anyway, check em out!
Qiuqiu: www.bongqiuqiu.blogspot.com Cheesie's Blog: www.cheeserland.com
On another note, I've got this considerably big bruise and thing is, aren't bruises supposed to be like, what blue-black-purplish..? Why's this one PINKISH RED? Heh, it still kinda makes sense, it's a freaking bruise. And it's on my kneeeeee! Now it hurts everytime I kneel. Least you don't have a red bruise, Rex.
YES THATS MY KNEE AND IM HAIRY OKAY. I know, I know.
GOSH WHAT IS UP WITH MY UNIFI?! My Rockmelt keeps connecting and disconnecting! Now I gotta wait, wait, WAAAAIT for my Rockmelt to connect back again for me to upload another photo or/and post this random post.
I checked out my blog today and MAN MY BACKGROUND SURE IS WHITE. I desperately need to change my layout and design! My current layout and blog design is desperately pathetic! Still trying to find Blogger templates, though the ones being offered on Blogger is just...LAME.
Went for Awards Night dance practice today. I ACTUALLY went for the auditions for the contemporary-ballet dance performance thingy :O And I've not danced in what, a gazillion years. And I don't recall being good at it. I learned two things today. Wait, more like I was reminded of two HORRIBLE things today. One, I am probably the blur-est person out there when it comes to dancing. Like, the ultimate ding dong when it comes to coordinating my hands and feet. Second, for a girl and yknow the presumption..(whaddoyoucall it..the stereotypical idea of a girl being all graceful and ladylike and whatnot)....I'M A DOWNRIGHT STIFF AND SO NOT GRACEFUL. URGH.
So conclusion of the day and one more life lesson for me. STAY.AWAY.FROM.DANCING.FOREVER. UNLESS.I.INTEND.TO.TARNISH.MY.IMAGE.AND.REPUTATION.AND.EMBARRASS.MYSELF.NEVER.EVER.EVER.EVER.JOIN.OR.EVEN.TRY.TO.DANCE.ANY.KIND.OF.DANCE. IF.EVER.CAUGHT.IN.A.SITUATION.WHERE.I.HAVE.TO.DANCE.IN.FRONT.OF.PEOPLE.OR. EVEN.MYSELF.I.SHOULD.JUST.GO.HIDE.IN.A.BOX.
Firstly,the only reason why I wanted to go for the tryouts was because, well, compared to singing, least dancing's a form of exercise..and knowing how lazy I can be to even move from my sofa, least it'll do me some good. EPIC. FAIL. I, honestly, regret going to try out. LOL. Made a complete fool outta myself. But it's okay, you gotta have a thicker skin to make it in life. Let's just hope the others don't remember how horribly I danced and how I screwed up. Let's not remind them about that either. Heheheh.
Anyway, somehow I made it for the second audition and you may say, "Aww, Rach, see? You made it for the callbacks. You shouldn't be THAT bad." Trust me, I'm THAT bad. I prolly made it in for the second audition 'cos I've a ballet background. Heh. It's like, everyone's pointing on their right leg/foot and I'm like doing the exact opposite, I'm one beat slower than everyone else and the twirls and whatnots..ohmygosh!
On another higher random note, I want a personalised name necklace! It's pretty pricey though. I've never spent $100 over on a necklace! :/ Sighs. Labels: rant Hello hello! (:
So I've been gone for pretty long now. Currently on one week of school hols (; Many things happened this week, honestly. Last month, Hazelle from Nail de Royale contacted me and on Wednesday, I received a few products that they've sent me. Will do a review soon. Thanks again! Do check out their store. I've attached their banner/logo at the right sidebar.
Went to PFD today. Yes, it IS a Saturday and well, it's the parent-facilitator-dialogue thing to discuss our mid-term exam results. AAAANNND I GOT STRAIGHT As! (: If I worked harder, I would've gotten like straight A-pluses, most of my As were like, ALMOST NINETY. For my Biology, I had like EIGHTY-NINE. EIGHTY-NINE! THAT'S ONE MARK AWAY FROM AN A PLUS! AARGH. The agony. Only got an A+ for Add Math. And it's only NINETY-ONE. Yes, yes, many people would say, "Pft, nonsense. You should be glad that you got all As. Why fret over not getting A pluses?" Trust me, if you're in my shoes, you'd try to bargain with the teacher for an A+. 'Cos you're THIS CLOSE to getting one. JUST ONE MARK AWAY! AARGH. An extra A+ in my results paper wouldn't hurt anyoneeee. :P Well, that's just me. I'm kind of..particular about my report cards. Not trying to be "kiasu" (uhm..it's..Hokkien for..afraid of losing) or what not.
 Next, it's the *dread* Chinese Hungry Ghost season. Argh. For those of you who do not know
what the Hungry Ghost season is all about, Wikipedia says:
"The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar, the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).
In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is calledGhost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities. " 
I'm not a Buddhist so I don't take part in this Festival. During this festival, mini-concerts are held in residential areas and the one in my area happens to be just right behind my house. AAAAAH. So my family and I are now, in a hotel, far away from the city (TROLOL) because the we haven't been able to sleep these days. It starts like, at around 4 (the rehearsals and what not) and ends till like, 11-12 am..? Yeah, so it's like boom boom boom-ing . It's like so loud that you can't really hear yourself think. Heh. And well, the singers they hire..aren't the best vocalists. lol. And I think they played like Justin Bieber's Baby a few times. Anyway, listening to techno-ish club music and out-of-tune singing doesn't really help you go to sleep. So, yeah. x) We're far away from that now, enjoying the peace and quietness..of..the..hotel. HAHAH. (; 
So that's about it for this week! (: Thanks for dropping by!
