It's 7.49am on a rainy Sunday morning, and I'm up and blogging. 'Why the hell?' you ask?

YOU try sleeping any later, when at 6.30, you hear these noises, (ones that you recognise to be your dad chopping some sort of meat on a chopping board...VERY LOUDLY). Noises which you notice, but are still able to sleep through.

Then it gets worse. Around 7.20...these big 'DONG' sort of noises start...and at first you think youre just dreaming. But then they continue....and by 7.30 you're widdddddeeeeeee awake. It takes you another 10 minutes to work up the energy to get up out of bed - did i mention it was a RAINY SUNDAY MORNING?! - and find out what the hell is going on...you follow your ears over to your balcony door...and there you find the source. The source of all the racket, the your tiredness, and the source of what's sure to be irritability for the rest of the day...even though sundays are supposed to be are carefree and happy and what not.

So what did you find???! Your dad. What was he doing???! CLEANING THE BALCONY RAILS WITH A BROOMSTICK, WITH THE STICK PART REPEATEDLY HITTING THE METAL OF THE RAILS thus creating a loud 'DONG'. The kind of dong they use to signify the start of karate fights. except louder, and more echo-y. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So i try to tell him...it's too loud...but he can't hear me from inside. I'm not surprised, I could barely hear myself.

After a few minutes I cut my losses and just went downstairs to my trusty PC, deciding to blog about my morning experiences. But then I can still hear the noises above me, and it's driving me nuts. I went back up and told him that he'd wake up the whole neighbourhood. He replied with 'its Sunday morning'. I said, 'Precisely'. And he said 'who cares about the neighbours' LOL

My...god. If I was them I'd be pissed...perfect sleeping weather...on a perfect sleeping day...wrecked by some crazy person and his broomstick...heck, I'm pissed NOW, even though I'm his daughter I'm not ALLOWED to be pissed at him.

Now he's on the other balcony...hosing it down...even though its RAINING. Crazy runs for generations in this family. So you don't have to wonder where I got it from.

At least hosing's more quiet. Oh no...here comes the dust buster...

Oh bringer of pain,

Promoter of sadness,

Provoker of groans,

And creator of madness -

Oh how I long to be rid of thee -

Banish rate law, concentration, and Ksp,

No, no more, I say!

Thou doth maketh me melancholy,

And hath ruined mine day!

I hate thee, I hate thee, I hate thee, I do!

If it were not for thee,

I'd be ebaying for shoessssssss.

So SCREW(eth) YOU!  

I'd like to start off by saying HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My. god. it's been, what, a year? Wait, no, OVER a year! 

I'd forgotten I even had a blog until my buddie kristine baquang decided she'd further assist my already rather successful attempts at procrastination. Although I was aready quite the natural at that. It runs deep in my veins. And Arteries I suppose. Actually, replace veins with arteries. Veins are like the loser arteries that get beaten up and have their lunch money stolen by organs and various other body parts. You know, with oxygen being their metaphoric lunch money. Arteries are so much more ganster.

Much has happened since we last met. For a start, that big, long chapter of life known as highschool ended for us. I've only just started getting used to the fact that we're not school kids anymore - we've all grown up and been thrown into the big wide world and what not. I'm not gonna dwell to much on that - don't wanna be opening up old wounds now.

It's funny though, when school finishes you find out who your real friends are. After all the years, the laughter, the tears, the good times and bad, everything that everyone's held back for the sake of keeping the peace comes tumbling out. People who you thought were your friends; people who you tried so hard to...almost impress?...or gain approval from (yes, that's a better way to describe it), turn on you - and even though you spent so much time trying to keep that very situation from occuring, when it gets to it, you find that, honestly, you couldn't give a shit. And thats fucking liberating.

Onto lighter topics now...I started off this year at UTS doing a combined B. Medical Science / Law - a course in which I am still currently enrolled - only...I'm not doing the Law bit. It was icky and crampin' my style, (who ever heard of having to work/study more than just the day before an exam?!) so I ditched it after a few weeks, without tellling my dad, who I was sure was gonna kill me. Consequently, I spent the remainder of Autumn semester going to what became known to everyone but my dad as 'fake uni'. Funnilly (sp?) enough, he never once questioned the shopping bags that came as a result of hours spent roaming the city streets with nothing to do.

Eventually the semester ended and I finally came clean about the Law thing - it was rather anti-climatic, actually. No leg-hacking, or neck-breaking, or even grounding. No red, angry face, no steam shooting from his ears. Just a bit of a lecture about what a wasted opportunity it was. He did ban me from shopping though. That lasted a whole week. He's gone soft lol

Sowahh...now I'm just taking it easy - only doing part time (3 subjects) because I missed one of the prerequisite subjects last semester, which means I'll most likely be doing summer school. Joy. I've decided I'm gonna just scrape a pass for chemistry 2. I don't even know how the hell I passed chem 1.

Okay, I'm starting to droan on now, and the last thing I want is for this to become one of those blogs that starts off promisingly and winds up being filled with boring, unnecessarily intricate recaps of someone's day. That shit is just wack, yo.

Till next time, freaklings. Who know's when that'll be, eh?  

Well my darlings, alot has happened since the last blog! You know, ate a truckload , slept alot, got sick a few times (but then again, when arent I?), shopped a bit...and oh yes...there were those stupid trials...but lets not talk about those >.<

Anywhoots, I still can't believe I'm 18 now O.O I'm soooo olddddddddddddddd LOL. Thanks to everyone for everything...especially YOU! Yes, I'm talking to YOU! I think you're the BEST! & dont tell the others, but I've always thought you were the prettiest! AND the smartest!  AND I liked YOUR present the most too! ^_^

The party was such an awesome night! Everyone looked so damn hot (but of course, YOU outshined them all!) & everything went splendidly ^_^ Just wish it could've lasted longer!

A big thankyou to vien, zane & tivianh for all the help with the preparations, to all my girls for being so gorgeous, and to all you guys for being so damn gansta!  

Pictures are on kates space & on the link on my msn personal message if you haven't already seen them!

I'm too lazy to go into detail atm, so I will another time. In the meatime  I'd best go work on EE2 >.< I can't believe its due next week >.<   & art too! GarGhh!

Melbourne next week! Hoorayy!

Oh, the things you do when you're procrastinating, hey?

Mid-year 12 now, and it's safe to say I still havent switched into study mode. While others spend every spare minute frantically doing homework, making study notes, working on assessments, or tweaking their major works that have been finished and near-perfect for months now, I, like many of my fellow buddies, am bludging my way through classes, going home, taking outrageously long to eat my after-school snack, and ebaying it for the rest of the night. Homework? What homework? I don't even HAVE study notes - those are constructed the night before exams, and consist of an amalgamation of information highlighted directly in the textbook and bored of studies resources. Assessments are still being done the night before, and my two major works are nowhere near done. So all in all, schools been great LOL

Maths assessment tomorrow - logs, exponents & calculus...I am so fucked its not funny. Hahaha...man, I used to be good at maths *sighs*. Ohhhh wellll. I can see it now - Vinh Luong, UAI: 58.01  O.O

Got our exam timetable for trials today. Jeez, these holidays are sure to be foon *cough*

 Birthday officially booked ^_^ how EXCITINGG *dances*...ANDD trip to melbourne! HOORAY!!

Better get going, promised kate I'd study hard O.O LOL...no sleep tonight i suppose *sighs*

Till next time fellas

HI YOU GUYS!

*PEES HERSELF IN EXCITEMENT*

hahaha its been quite a while, hasn't it....yes it has. why am I blogging? as usual, because I'm procrastinating haha. Assessments can kiss my ass. especialy fooking King Lear. I think Kent said it best - "You useless bastard—you're like the letter “z,” a totally unnecessary addition to the alphabet"

Anywhoots, today was exciting! I had an appointment with the good people at novella function centres, to check out the space as a venue for my very own 18th birthday party! *dances*

It was sooo pretty! And the ppl are really nice! And I'm soo fooking excited! EEEEEEHEEEEEEEE! But its gonna make me broke *looks down*. I had to dip into my other savings account ( the one im not supposed to be able to touch - good ol' net bank) for the deposit. Gna be a few grand out of pocket after all this methinks. Selling stuff on ebay to help with the cause rofl.

Oh wells, its worth it! You only turn 18 once, so I rigure, may as well go all out haha. Plus the best thing is its on the night that our trials are finished so its like a double celebration. Unlimited drinks also come with the package LoL

In other news, a late happy birthday to smelina lim & miku nguyen! =)

School discos coming up too! HOW EXCITING! You guys HAVTA come & buy glowsticks too rofl! Theyre so cool!

Anywhoots i'd best be off. Early start @ the cemetery tomorro *sighs*

 Treat ur mums good this mothersday! You have no idea how much they do for you!

LOVE YOU GUYS! XOXOX

A HOY HOY//

Tis I, vinnie, blogging for the second time today hahaha...I'm so cool. Anyways, my conscience has been bugging me since last night...

Suntsov if ur reading (even though I doubt you are) this I'm really sorry about the movie/dinner thing. I didn't realise it meant so much to you. Hopefully we can do it another time.

What makes it worse is that I didnt end up going protesting, coz the thing we were supposed to be protesting was some viet cong dudes putting on a show at some place claiming that it was a part of viet culture, but we all know the story behind that...and the venue ended up cancelling & not letting them perform so there was no point in protesting (it got cancelled on account of we already won). I did go to the cemetery this morning/arvo though, and tivianh paid a visit to her grandma.

Also made up a poster/flyer for my cousin phuong's work - a centrelink contest called 'show us your flavour'. I think it looks pretty chat, but they like it.

Ended up at DFO, where i spent all the money I couldnt afford to spend = ( I have a problem. Don't EVER give me a credit card, or I'll never be able to dig myself out of debt. Spent $280, but I got quite a lot & saved heaps! (I look at it as saving, because it makes me feel better, ok?).

HOIII YOU GUYS!

Its been months since my last entry...& yonks since I've even been bothered to look at my blog. I don't think anyone bothers to check it anymore. My audience at this point probably consists of selina, and...well...the many personalities inside of her head LOL...but thats another tale for another time.

Atm we're on holidays, after one freaking KILLER of a term. At the risk of bringing up school again, I so failed all my exams. I don't think that sentence quite makes sense, but shuddup, I go to fairvale.

So much has happened over the last few months...and you know what that means? So much that I DONT remember haha.

A happy belated birthday to Lisa S, Minh & Cindy Ly =)

Baha....lets see...well... on wednesday I went over to Alexs to surprise him for our late anniversary celebrations (yes we are COOL). Lets just say it didn't quite go according to plan, but it worked out okay in the end. I was supposed to find a recipe for spinach & ricotta ravioli to make for him & surprise him by coming over to his place in the morning to cook so that by the time he woke up lunch was all ready for him. 

Most of the recipes that I found you needed a pasta maker thingo for, and I was aboutto give up hope wen I found one that didnt. So the night before I was supposed to go over I prepared the tomato stuffies for the bruscetta, baked 'I (heart) U' cookies and made the pasta dough from scratch. I felt soo proud of myself.

The next morning: wake up & make the filling for the ravioli. All's well until I roll out the dough and then put a tablespoon full of filling into each ravioli instead of the half teaspoon i was supposed to (i wasn't reading the recipe). Ended up with humungo raviolis that wouldnt seel. Stressed out & had to force my sister to go buy flour to make more dough. Took hours. My sister said my I (heart) U cookies looked like a poo, a heart, and a curly poo. Ended up being late to alexs...so when i got there HE opened the door. hahahhaa I'm so organised! The bruscetta had too much garlic, (& not enough basil), the ravioli was a bit undercooked & my cookies looked like poos apparently, but I had heaps of fun. It was sort of nice being nice to alex for a change.

We spent the day just chiling out...watching tv, movies and stuff. It was quite enjoyable =) At the end of the day he came out with this bag and handed it over to me, and in it there was a bear, some chocolate, a fake rose, and this beautiful bracelet, with a heart pendant with a tiny little diamond on it. He was like, 'they'l get bigger, I swear' hehehehe.

Anywhoots, I gtg now. I'll continue my ramblings some other time....but for the moment im off to the cemetery and then to protest something or other with my dad LOL

My shoes hurt.

1.05am : woken by a mobile ringing in my ear.
'wattt the fuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk'
'No! No sleeping'
'watttt the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk....I was sleeping'
'No...you can't just call me & fall asleep 10 mins later'
'It was not 10 mins...I stayed awake for like 25 mins at least! What dya want me to do?!'
'CALL ME EARLIER!'
'No! I don't want to! I don't wanna talk to you anyway! I don't even like you anymore!'
'Why are always such a BITCH?!'
'I'll show you bitch!'
*hangs up phone*

1.55pm: talking to lisa than.
'I think alex is pissed at me'
'aww no...how come?'
'I think i told him off & said  i didn't like him anymore last nite...but it was like 1am & i was sleepy!'
'ahaha!'
'I REFUSE TO CALL HIM'
'yeh thats rite! dw...he'll come around'

**that very instant**

Hello there my fine fellows & fellowettes =)
Tis drawing near the end of the holidays & I, like most of you, am dreading the return of school.

Its our last year you guys. Thats so scary hey? I still can't believe it...ergh...

12 years of schooling, and it all leads up to this...it all depends on this one year that can make or break or lives, our future.

So take it seriously. Study hard, make sacrifices, give it your all. But at the same time don't forget to enjoy yourself. Laugh more. Don't get so caught up in trying to impress/please everyone else. Do it for yourself. In this last year, create the memories that will last you your lifetime. Make an effort to get to know EVERYONE...after all we're all in it together... reinforce your already strong friendships & rekindle those that were lost.

Just make sure that when sit down to reminsce about 'the best years of your life' you actually HAVE something to smile about. You wanna have more to look back on than just countless days spent studying.

Spend time with friends. Take photos with kate (everyone has at least 10 with her already....but you can never have enough LOL). Eat watever the hell you want. Don't take shit from anyone. But don't get worked up & start crap over nothing. Ignore the losers who son't believe in you. Make friends with those who make you feel good about yourself.

Just. Have. Fun! =)

I'm so sleepy. hahaha.

Happy birthday to philip for last saturday btw. Just coz he doesn't even read this blog haha.Hope you guys like the new header. I was gna change everything but I got lazy & I'm technologically retarded as you already know HEHE.

That song makes me & kate sad =(

Kate kate kate.

I LOVE YOU GUYS! *cries* don't leave mee stayy FOREVER!!!!!

Im not crazy.
