Back to School, Back from Camp

Back to school wasn't too bad. The beginning of class reminded me that it is time to start year 12, and end our high school life. With a new year, I got a new wallpaper for the fun of it, and this new wallpaper is nothing other than my personal favourite group of men, monkey, pig and horse... With their famous phrase from the most recent 2000 something version:

"我是如來佛祖玉皇大帝觀音菩薩指定取西經特派使者花果山水帘洞美猴王齊天大聖孫悟空!"

During the holidays, I went back to that yellow dvd shop (Eira and Grubs knows which one I'm talking about ;D ) and bought the following few TVB series:

Face to Fate

Monkey King Quest for the Sutra

Guts of Man

Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion

So let's hope that these TVB series will be as good as I remember they were back then, and I can't wait to get through them!! (I finished Face to Fate already, and it was pretty darn good! =D).

After getting back to school, the new timetable shows that I have a wopping 2-4 studies or free periods a day, making me have too much time on my hands now =D

A series of quick few days led to the first of two year 12 camps for 2010!

Camp was boring to start off with, with a 5-6 hours drive from GC to Portland. The days were spent doing five activities: Kayaking, Surfing, Fishing, Team building games, Bush Walking (my group didn't do the bush walking because it was raining the day that we were suppose to).

The food wasn't too bad during this camp, and well, there wasn't really anything bad during this camp. The only thing close to a "bad thing" that occurred during camp, would be that for some odd reason, the second night I just felt gloomy/depressed for some reason... That wasn't too good.

Kayaking was just GREAT!

Fishing was boring in the sense that I couldn't catch anything and well, i'm not the type of person to sit and be patient xD

These two activities happened on the same day, and cause me to to have the FIRST sunburn in my life! It hurted ><"

Surfing was also fun! We surfed in the rain (which actually made it more fun) and everyone in my group (including me) stood up on our board, riding a wave at least once! Which was definitely awesome!!

Team building activities was also extremely fun, mainly because its just something we don't usually do it with the people we did so with, and well, that actually made it more fun!

Finally, something that topped everything else on the list of activities that we participated in during camp would be the "Talent Night Show". It is a short 1-2 hour period of time when yr 12's got up in groups showing/performing a "talent" which made EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the room laugh!! Great night.. Great night...

The Past & the Present

We know the past events and incidents, we know what's happening in the present. But how about the future?

Lying on my bed the past few nights and not being able to sleep cause of the heat.. I just think. Thinking is usually a good thing, but I think that it was causing me to sleep less and stay awake more. Thinking about what the past was and how it became the present, it makes me think about how the future is and what it's filled with.

2010's year 12, such a big change from the other years we've been through before. Let's hope that it won't be worse compared to the past that I've enjoyed and liked...

Since the 8th till now the 12th, its just been boring or I had nothing much to do. Other than taking a two cousins and Lil_thang to watch "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2" and going to Tuk's bday laser tag game (where Mark ditched the bros... AGAIN!) there wasn't much that happened.

I found a website that's based on Chinese cookery and is similar to Grub's (click here).

Oh and I also finished the sudoku book that Broseph got me for my birthday last year!

Quote of the day:

" One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever."

NEW YEAR!

31st:

On the 31st (New Year's Eve), funnily I was ready to spend the day at home, but that wasn't what ended up happening. Bro-in-Law & Jie wanted to go to NZ for their holidays, so they brought Birre (aka Dumpling) over for me to look after. As my aunt drove those two off to the airport, she left her kids for me to look after.

My aunt's return resulted in my two cousins, her and me going to Brimbank Central and then St. Albans for dinner. I rushed home later as the rest of the family returned, and the celebration for the upcoming New Year began...

1st:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year to all!! It's great to enter this year of 2010!

18th birthdays begin... NOW! and on top of that, there's a whole list of hardcore studying waiting to begin (due to year 12).

2nd -> present day 7th:

Most of these days were spent at home watching Journey to the West 1&2 and King of Snooker (pictures shown below). Then there was a visit to Science works Museum and watched their fame Lightning Room show and Planetarium!

There was also a day where I had cousins sleeping over and resulted in a full day of cousins running around the house!

And finally there was fun in the outing with Grubs and Eira. Funnily, I haven't seen a post from them just yet, but I'm sure they'll put something up soon..

(i guess)
