"What did you learn today?" my daddy asked.


Well.. today I learnt what date rape is, and how 95% of sexual assaults are performed by guys WHO YOU KNOW AND TRUST, and how do DEFEND YOURSELF against tough situations such as "getting pinned to the wall by some guy and he's reaching for your Levis" or "while you guys are getting all lovey and cuddly in a car outside your house and he.." eh yes. That CIA sex agent (ok that sounds really bad but anyways) had a habit of repeating these scenarios over and over again so after like the 9340934th time it's just drilled into your brain.

Afterwards we got some booklet about definitions of sexual assault, indecent assault, sexual harrassment, and then HEY! *turns to the back*


DEFENSIVE STRIKES

EYES
- Outstretched fingers
- Grip face with thumb and little finger
- Three remaining fingers gouge eyes (yuck the thought of sticking my fingers into something relaly goo-ey isn't exactly an ideal start to my day)

NOSE
- Strike direct from shoulder -Hand like "Cat's Paw"
- Contact tip of nose with "heel" of palm THROAT
- Make correct fist: thumb folded over index finger
- Keep wrist straight
- Punch through target area (Adams Apple)

GROIN
- Strike with thigh
- Pull offender toward you as you project weight up and slightly forward

FEET
- Drive leg down from "Groin Strike" position
- Strike bridge of offender's foot with your heel


FINISH COMBINATION IN STRONG DEFENSIVE STANCE ON COMMAND OF "NO"

--

Well apparently you have to repeat this routine for 21 days everyday, once in the morning and once at night while standing infront of a mirror if possible. And execute sequence as you name each strike - EYES, NOSE, THROAT, GROIN, FEET, NO! 10-12 times.

..

Yup that's my Taichi routine for you.

We then went to the OXYGEN FACTORY spoken by Glen who was so good ! It was such an inspirational presentation, and at the end I told him so and shook his hand. =))

The sausage sizzzzzle was nice too and I went back for extra bread. Well I took the bread for the crust but then I didn't want to throw away the rest of the bread since there are millions of kids in Africa who are dying of starvation, so I ate it instead of feeding it to the ant colony.


AND I GOT OFFERED WORK EXPERIENCE! By my asian sketching teacher.. but it's a work exp nevertheless so if I don't find anywhere then I'll prolly end up going there.

Nothing more to say now than .. GEO CAMP GEO CAMP GEO CAMP!!!!!

betty!
You know what i hate?

yes i know theres quite a long list of things i hate.

but what i absolutely hate are people who think that hong kong and china are two totally different countries and how hong kong people are much much more superior to mainland china.

Dude thats like racial discrimination to your own race.

Today i was at Carlingford Village, and i was in the asian supermarket, and a couple of hardcore asian teenyboppers plus a white guy were there in the pocky section (haha how surprising ==) talking about their holidays or something.

TB1: I went to HK last holidays
White guy: HK? you mean China?
TB2: HK AND CHINA ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES!
TB3: YEA WE'RE TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO MAINLAND CHINA

ashdjhasjkdhsjkadh

And i just walked past and screamed out BITCH to her face

I seem to do that a lot nowadays but anyways.

Today was welfare day and the best part of the day was LUNCH <3

no im only joking, just wont expand on the rest of the day =D
Hey I feel like blogging for some reason ! Like I dno why but I'm in a pretty good mood for a change. =D Maybe it's because there's one more day - ie. one more VD lesson until GEO CAMP!

Went dance practice this morning, which was pretty fun. Softball against Ruse was alright. Thought they were REALLY TANK when they arrived but then we won 8-1 in the end yay. =) and then one of the year 8 girls in our team were like " WHOA THEY'RE ALL ASIANS!" when they first saw Ruse.

And then went English Enrichment afterwards .. for the aircon. Nah I'm kidding I like English alot. Stayed till the end with Jenny and it was very.. English enriching..

Welfare thing on Friday ! Plus free food. And dance in PE 2mrw.

AND THEN GEO CAMPPPPPPPP.

I'm scared that I'll get all hyped about camp and then after it ends it's back to studying. ==



meh GEO CAMP!

God, some days I think that I, myself am the epitome of racist. I don't know why but sometimes I just invountarily start to feel a distinct sense of hostility towards certain people, NOT SAYING this about people that I know and talk to, but no-named randoms I see on the street or in shops, etcetc, at first sight. I know this is really slack and you're all thinking "don't judge others when you don't know them" etcetc, but I'm trying to highlight the fact that everybody is secretly racist to some degree, as we learnt in history in relation to Pauline Hanson and One Nation. Whatever, I'll carry on, you don't have to read this if you don't want to. Wtf, you're all going to read this anyway.

So yesterday, I got off at Eastwood station to go to Morning Glory. First of all, All of Eastwood station and the entrance to Morning Glory were blocked by a swarm of asians jabbering in an unknown dialect. Call me racist, but I find it extremely rude when people communicate voluntarily in foreign dialects in public places. The shop was so filled that I was stuck in one corner for literally 5 minutes with no way of escapeing down the isle, and while they were busily shouting/exclaiming "unyaaa this unyaa that" I tried to push myself gently through, whilst receiving several dirties and yet more "unyaas"

You know how people smile at one another when they pass eachother? Yeah well people who just glare at you and walk past without aknowledging you go automatically into my bad books. The look that some of them gave me was extremely demeaning. Ok, I'm sure that in person they are actually quite nice people, but the first impression counts a lot.

This is all really wierd of me, considering that I, myself am asian. It's funny how Pauline Hanson appeals to everyone's darker nature (refers to the article "Why Hanson Appeals To Our Darker Nature" we got in history).

This all leads to the controversial policy of assimilation. What do you all think? You can call me racist (again), but I think that while foreign community members who migrate from other countries take advantage of the relative lowness of this country's academic level and better opportunities, living conditions and quality of life for their own gain, they should also show a bit of appreciation for the life the country has provided them with.

Another thing: While I was in Perth, I noticed that it was TRULY multicultural there. Ie, I witnessed asians and white people being the best of friends, waving to eachother, going out together and just having fun together. I think there's a difference between true multiculturalism, and just segregated cultural groups who possess a sense of ignorance towards the country they live in.
I DRANK BOOST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS TODAY!

I was almost as excited as some loser taking their first ecstasy pill before getting a stroke. Okay maybe not. But I've been wanting to drink some of that stuff for aaaaaaages now but never been able to have the courage to extract $5 from my featherweight wallet just for 30 seconds of ultimate refreshment, before madly sucking air through my straw like I'm suffering from an asthma attack.

My longing for Boost finally got the better of me and whilst my parents were lining up amidst the sea of asians, I opposed my "Extreme Asian" ways .. defined by Facebook as ..

--

You're a straight up Communist. You believe you'll get what you want when you want it, you're forceful, you're incessant, you want to take over the world, and you think China's government is wonderful. Calm down, Asian, you're Asian-ness is scaring people.

--

Totally. Anyways I lined up and realised that, just like Easyway, Boost has decided to cut out it's small size drink in order to further rip off customers in the financial downturn.

DO YOU REALISE THE SEVERITY OF SUCH A DISGUSTING AND APPALLING ACT?

That means I have to pay $5.40 FOR A STUPID DRINK! But just like what Fred's parents said, people need to eat and drink even in the harsh economic times, and so I paid for my drink and watched on in horror as I came to realise just what that melon smoothie consisted of.

I thought I paid $5.40 for " watermelon juice with strawberries blueberries rasberries every-effing-berry-imaginable mango banana passionfruit" etc etc but instead..

2mLs of diluted watermelon juice with seeds mixed with 1 scoop of strawberry icecream and 1 scoop of banana icecream (flavours assumed due to its food colouring), all blended with a BIG SCOOPFUL of ice.

WTF BIGGEST RIP EVER! And when I drank it I couldn't taste anything besides diluted watermelon juice. If I wanted to drink watermelon juice, I would've bought a big watermelon for 99c from Harris Farm Markets and place it under the enormous stack of VD sheets we've received. The juice will come out for sure.

And this goes on to show that asians truly make the most cost-effective decision, as I watch enviously as my parents drink their coconut milk tea with pearls for $4.50 whilst I suck on my wannabe summer juice which robbed me of my $5.40.

As a follow up to my last post, I asked everyone else what gets them up in the morning. Sorry everyone if I just randomly asked you !

A few days ago, while I was trying to cheer up a friend of mine who was abit down, he asked me something that really made me think.

" What gets you up in the morning?"

And then I realised I find joy in simplest of things. Why complicate things so much? I get up, knowing that there's rice and strawberry milk which awaits for me in my fridge. I get up, knowing that I'll see all these people at school who I care about. I get up because I know that today's a new day and I smile for it. I get up because EVERYDAY'S A GREAT DAY AT BAULKO hah nah just kidding. ;) I get up because I know there's only like 2 FREAKING WEEKS TILL CAMP YAY!

This somehow reminds me of that song "Must Have Done Something Right" by Relient K.

" And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday I spend with you is the new best day of my life.."

--

Hmm.. So what gets you up in the morning?

xx.
When your mum waits in the 50 metre long queue at the butchers in Eastwood Village you sit at one of those tables outside right??

Well it was during this time that I happened to spot a cute little boy and his mum kneeling beside him just outside the shop, and to my horror, she looked like she was putting her hands down his pants or something D===

(ok, well that's what it looked like considering that his back was towards me)

So then I came to the conclusion that she was taking a quick inspection at whatever was smeared allover his undies (ie, that he'd pooed/weeed in his pants), but then she stayed in the same position for like, a whole minute. And then FINALLY, she removes her hands from his crotch, and then:

BEHOLD!

A plastic sandwich bag filled with yellow liquid almost up to the brim!

GROOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! ><""

What was even more gross than the concept of emptying the contents of your bladder into a sandwich bag held by your mother is how (since it was filled almost to the brim) she tried to twist-tie the bag whilst spilling urine allover her hands. Euurrghhhh ==. I hope she didn't proceed to buy raw meat, thus contaminating everyone else's dinner.

Ewood is the dirtiest place ever.


I would be screwed to write about scuba camp, but there isn't really much to say besides SCUUUBBBBAAAAA CAAAAMPPPPP!!!!!

Yeah and we saw octopi in the water!
EDIT: VD is apparently due in wk 11, but I SWEAR SHE SAID WEDNESDAY 11TH MARCH.
neverthelesss. nikae is a bitch and deserves to die.

I was flipping through my wonderful school diary just then and something caught my eye.

VD- VD WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT DUE- WEDNESDAY 11TH MARCH.

So i was thinking, okay, gta start on that, and wasn't really worried about it until now cos i thought i had another 2 wks to do it.

Until i turned on the comp and the date said it was 8th of march

SONOFABITCH @*(#&(*#&

Now i gta finish a huge vd ass. and make it all nice and pretty and visually attractive because even though "this is a written assignment, it needs to be presented in a visually interesting and inventive way," and i gta "use colour, typograthy (i just realised that spelling mistake) and other methods of display to express your research."

Just cos she can't read through 3 pages of writing without having to consult the dictionary every 2 words. D=

God i hate VD.
Hah *looks down at Tom's post after mine* it looks like everyone's not enjoying life-without-scuba-camp.

School today was so faggyy! It was so deserted and when the bell rang, me and Bella strolled out the classroom and wondered if the bell had gone off in the first place since it was so quiet.

Hah oh well. And then at recess, the "toilet group" hangout consisted of less than 10 people.

O_O

Lunch, went to the hall to watch people audition for Contemporary dance. Me and Bella were trying to "learn" the dance by copying other people - ie. doing peculiar movements with our arms and 360 degree turns with our heads, with our food still clutched in our hands. AWESOME FUN xD

Ooh yeah, and in Scripture today we splitted into groups and that asian dude was telling us some gospel about 3 guys walking up a mountain with Jesus and walking down again..




Azn dude: so what.. so how.. what.. what do you .. err.. think .. what are your thoughts.. on this?

- awkward silence with everyone glancing at each other -

Azn dude: err.. what.. do you.. err.. think is the message in.. err.. this ?

- silence with more sideglances -



and then FINALLY..

Yr 9 girl next to me: well it's saying that Jesus is better than them.

And then he started asking her to elaborate etc..

Azn dude: so I think.. er.. what you're trying to get across is err.. that.. those three are all the same in status ..

Girl: - in a TRES irritated tone - not really. Jesus is God's son.

and etc etc etc etc... until ...

Girl: WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ALL THIS? WHY DON'T YOU ASK THEM?


LOL PSYCHO AGRO GIRL STRIKES ! LOLOLOLOL!

From BAULKO (and not scuba camp) with love,

BUT ON A HAPPIER NOTE,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE.

dear freddie is growing up *Tears of joy* ahahahah!!!

Happy 15th birthday Fred, you poo, you're awesome ahaha =D

Okay i shall stop rambling on about stuff.
I WANT TO FUCKING GO TO SCUBA CAMP.

Besides sitting here ranting and raging about not choosing PASS.
I swear, when we were choosing electives I must've had a mental blank. Or must've had teenage Parkinsons and was going to tick PASS but accidently shook my hand and ticked VD or Commerce instead.

GOOD LORD.




and and I miss .. someone.
