My Life: November 2012

Hello Earthlings!

I come in peace :)

A few weeks ago, year 12's (2013) went on a little camp called retreat, where you leave everything behind.. so no more technology, work and hardships and just be stress-free spending some time to bond with your fellow classmates and teachers. It was a 3 day, 2 nights camping experience at Tallong, We had some fun times tricking each other, making friendship bracelets, talking about families, individuals point of views about certain topics.... it wasn't boring at all.. mostly entertainment and bonding activies and we even got a theme song :) (Live like we're dying- Kris Allen). Everyone seemed to have fun, and its funny because I asked my friend what he's retreat was like.. and he replied.. lectures, hymns and boring advice on what to expect after highschool >:D

Beautiful blue sky

Awesome looking tree! Really want to paint this... but i cant :(

I don't know about other dog owners.. but does your dog do this? I guess, my dog gets pretty bored and wants to see what's happening outside. So, she goes into my parents bedroom, leaps onto the bed and then steps onto the chair and the jumps up on the table and sticks her head over the curtains. One time, my dad and I were coming home... and we saw Sam across the street (almost got ran over a car!). We were freaking out.. turns out she jumped out the window.. with only a small crack open.

Before haircut.. like a lion.

Now! So bald... hahah

Last week?.. No Two weeks ago. I went to workplacement again.. this time at Bellevue Hill, Cranbrook School. The company.. catercare was really nice. Very multicultural kitchen, everyone had different unique personalities it was so funny and sometimes even creepy. Will tell you a little bit about my experience. So.. from monday to friday I was to come to Cranbrook at 9am till 5pm. So.. that meant waking up at 6am and catching the train to Edgecliff.. then catching a bus to Bellevue Hill which wasn't so bad. One time.. my bus at Edgecliff didn't come for 40mins! I was really late by that time. But I met a really nice phillipino lady :) Normally, I don't talk to stranger.. you know minding my own buissness. Somehow it started from 'i dont think the bus is coming' to ending it with how to get a citizenship. LOL! Interesting topic to talk about. She was really nice, and I hope she's doing well now.

Well, at workplacement. It was weird.. they gave me the weirdest jobs. I cut up so many pumpkins that I couldn't move my right hand (seriously, i couldn't put it into a fist.. thought my hand was paralysed) and my left hand stained yellow and didn't wash off till after a week of scrubbing (before I wouldn't even touch a pumpkin.. asked my dad to do it). Here's some weird jobs that I got to experience.. of course I did other stuff but this was just interesting.. I peeled lots of prawns (now i know how to peel them.. lol.. i named one small prawn 'junior' and my worker friend kept showing junior off to other workers..so funny), peeled boiled eggs (cut myself.. -.-), touched and cut big bloody lambs (got blood all over my apron and chefs jacket.. felt like a butcher), cracked hundreds of eggs (accidentally got one egg on my shoe.. and it smelt).. and loads of other stuff that I cant remember. I loved serving! That was the best thing. And making coffee (only made it once.. since the other lady wanted me to help her). It's funny because I was always scared to work as one of the subway workers.. because you need to have good customer service.. I didn't want anyone yelling at me. But it was really fun! Beats the other jobs. Every person, I had to ask whether to eat in or take away.. if they wanted vegetables.. give them a description of whats the dish was and say thank you, enjoy *insert biggest smile here. Some were really rude.. well not rude.. just ignorant even even look at me.. Some were very nice. It was so fun. I preferred working rather than school. Now I have so much to catch up.. :(

After the end of the last day of workplacement, took a photo of the city

Random picture of sky.. outside my house

Recently, I went to K-Mart :)
WOo!! Hooray for cheap shopping!!
And I got myself a few goodies. Which reminds me... Dont ever get the Olympus VG-140 digital camera. It sucks.. the quality is horrible.. and all my pictures are blurry (i take about 3 pictures in a row just to take a good steady picture.. its not like im running or anything.. ). I got it on sale for.. i think $90 as a birthday present last year?... or the year before that.

Awesome fake vans for $12

Big cup/ bowl/ mug for $2. Can't wait to cook shin ramen in it :)

Now its 5:30pm.. Well, Goodbye for now.. have to do my assignment.. but probs gonna be distracted by youtube hahaha :)

-.- Movie maker sucks.. I tried editing.. but the video wont even open.
I really want to learn this dance. I think its adorable :)
