18th Parties

2009-12-06T12:00:00.000-08:00

Its crazy man,just as we're approaching the end of the year,all things are just happening at once..Especially since its the end of term before the holidays there are just soo many things going on at school,but not only that,it also seems as if everyone's turning 18!!!! The number of 18th parties that i went to is just crazy! Dont get me wrong,it was great,but whoaa is it expensive to buy gifts for everyone and also get outfits and to go out for their parties.Christmas is also around the corner, which means MORE presants!! but *wicked laughter* i'll be having my birthday soon so now its MY turn to be receiving birthday presants AND also Christmas presants! wheeeeee..Dont you just LOVE the end of the year! I DO! :D

Where is the Love

2009-10-29T11:46:00.000-07:00

You hear alot about irresponsibility and violence by teenagers these days.Its sad really.Why would they do that?Why damage themself and their future?

Gang violence,thugs,drugs,drinking,bullying,vandalism, what else?Youngsters should understand how this affects other people and dont even benefit them in any way.A friend of my friends was recently warned by doctors that his lungs would collapse if he doesnt stop drinking alcohol.Imagine that,how much damage he must've done to his lungs,and he's still a teenager too!

A group of teenagers were inspired to produce this music video.listen to this..

Its nearly 2am in the morning and i have to wake up for school in about 5 hours but i just had to share this..A person introduced me to this video of a young boy reciting the Qur'an and i just cant get over it.Never have i heard it read out likethat.It gave me chills the first few times i listened to it and i think i can safely say its the most pure and beautiful thing i have EVER heard..I cant describe it in words and give credit to it so you'll just have to understand once u hear it..

Fox trot

2009-09-24T14:36:00.000-07:00

While people were celebrating Raya i was off off on a Quaker Pilgrimage in the lake district where Quakerism began..George Fox was the founder of quakerism and it's called Fox trot because we were trotting in Fox's footsteps.

Us just about to climb Pendle Hill,that big steep daunting hill there..Nearly did me in that hill did.

Stopped for a break

The view from the top of Pendle hill.It felt like it was the top of the world(exagerating much but it felt like it at the time! :P)

After George Fox climbed back down(after a 3 day hike without much food or water),he went to a pub and had a drink, and apparently had a 'vision' on quakerism.Hmmm i'm quite sceptical about that.If anyone had alcohol after not eating much for a while they'd be having visions too!! LOL

It was just so cold my fingers and ears were like ice!!So i used it as a head scarf to keep my ears warm.hahaha

The historical site where the first gathering of about 1000 people gathered to hear George Fox preach..

It was an intersting weekend altogether with 3 other quaker schools.

To everyone who celebrates raya 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri' from me.Have a great time..

Rising Star

2009-08-26T21:48:00.000-07:00

I just happened to be watching oprah last night and on the show there was this amazingly talented girl from the Phillipines called Charise Pempengco,who her producers told her about..Charise had lead a hard life but after being on oprah,all of her dreams has come true and she has been sought out by many..She has flown all over and sang duets with her idol Celine Dion,Andrea Bocelli,Gianluca and lots more and even sang the national anthem in America at the Dodgers!!

When i heard her sing i just got the chills,it was just breathtaking and touching..She has the voice of an angel and is similar to Celine Dion's(who is my all time favourite)

charise singing and NOT Celine Dion..Only in last part does Dion sing in..

ONLY GIRLS were invited!! hahah so we all dressed up to play the part..Man that was fun,i just love dressing up and all.i had such a hard time choosing what i want to be. A very nerdy boy or a pretty gangster look.I tried on my dads stuff but made it look so geeky by hiking up the shorts,tucking in the checked shirt and using knee high white socks with trainers.and had my hair put up and wore glasses.LOL i wish i took a pic of that.Farah and i justcracked up so hard we nearly pissed ourselves..but yeaaa in the end i decided to go with this.....

hehehe dont i just look like a pretty boy?even the B-day girl didnt recognise me at first..

Later on in the evening we decided to suprise the REAL boys and so went to c them..hahah that was soo funny..

2009-05-15T01:55:00.000-07:00

It was Foundation weekend for everyone but to me it was my appointment to a Deputy Head Girl day with us giving speeches and sitting at our special seat..i was nervous that day and i shouldnt be really cause i'm supposed to be used to giving speeches back in the days when i was head girl along with Nas who was the head boy..but i guess it was the new people and place who knows! memorised my speech and all and was hoping for it to be a good one but then while talking forgot that one word.was mortified and funny at that time but now thinking about it just makes me wana laugh..well at least they were entertained..LOL

from the right-Pip(former head girl),Tiss(new head girl) and Carmen,me and christa who r the deputy heads..

a drama all played out

2009-05-01T14:42:00.000-07:00

wow phew!!its never boring her at the Mount..theres always drama and something going on.

i was chuffed this week and really happy.i was just voted to be a deputy head girl and am just suprised really that i got it.its unusual how a new student who just came into college to be voted to be it since the people who've been here at the school for ages r always voted.and to get it when not only am i new here but also a foreigner is just humbling..

the funny thing was when the WHOLE school was apparently looking for me since the headmistress wanted to c me to give her congratulations and ask if i would accept the position.they couldnt find me and didnt know where i was.i had spanish then but was doing it in the english building across school since its thursday.the head girl went round to the language block and asked for me but the other teachers told her that there's no class on since we werent in the usual classroom..the school,my friends and my warden tried calling me but i didnt have my phone with me.they thought i must've gone out of school but i didnt sign out and so they started to get worried.after the first period teachers and college girls started to go round and ask where i was but after the second period and i still wasnt found they like did a search with most of the teachers calling around and looking 4 me.they thought i was KIDNAPPED or something since its just not like me to go out of school without getting permission and signing out.

it was soo funny really how everyone just pounced on me when i got back in the building.but everything was resolved in the end..phew!

recently there is a scandal going on at school and we're just in its tenterhooks.its crazy really what happened and just blows u away.not going to disclose the events but i'll tell u this,it will never die down and will probly have people talk about if for months to come,just as how the school is still talking about the kidnapping that happened a few years ago which took the media by storm.scary really but thats life....

givin it my all

2009-04-15T06:22:00.000-07:00

The beginning of easter i went to london and stayed there for 10 days.Twas GREAT!!i met up with friends,made new friends and had a wonderful time going round to explore the shops!*cough cough* ummm i mean London..heheheh

2009-03-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

went to scotland last weekend and so didnt get to do the laundry from that week.including this week's laundry i had to do 2 and a half basket full of laundry!and here we only have 2 washing machine and 2 tumble dryers for all of college boarders!that would be for about 25 of us??kept going to the basement to do it and still they were in use!took all day just to wait and do it and get them ironed and all.no wonder i got a headache.

5 more days to go before easterrrr!!!woohoo cant wait!

funky town

2009-03-09T15:34:00.000-07:00

i had the best weekend so far,for on Saturday Charlotte,Tom and i went into town to nearly ALL of the fancy dress shops!and i mean that literally!!we just went in and tried on loadss of stuff and looking for 'the' outfit that we liked.we tried on masks like darth vader,a cute lion mask,pirate girl.there was even loads of kinky outfit!hahah i would just love to try on the playboy bunny outfit! We're having this college social coming up just before we break off for easter and we've invited poeple from Bootham,Pocklington,Saint-Peters and etc.Its just going to be AWESOME!the theme of the party is CARNIVAL and RAVE.Well i love dressing up,who doesnt!and have a few image in my head on what i'm going to wear but i'm not sure yet.here is a peek on what i'm going to look like!

On saturday we went to birmingham to go to Cadbury world and it was just awesome!the scent of chocolate wafting in the air just makes u drool,free chocolates given out and it was very entertaining.we also had choices of sweets to mix into liquid chocolate at the end.yummy!we were then set afree and shopped like kids set loose in a candy store!apparently it was the biggest cadbury shop in the world..soo many choices!there were even cadbury soccer balls and rugby balls.now they were ginormous.those were verry popular with the guys.I felt like a fat chubba after all those chocolate!heavenly..sighh.haha

when we got back to college house i was bored so i put on the wig and went to suprise the girls.hahah they were stunned!!Nina called me Cotton Candy Lady cause she said that 'u look yummy i can just eat u!'
whats with the long faceee chia yi??she wants a wigg too!!heheh

nina me and zaf

wana and i

i quite like how i look with the hair style and colour..i dont know but lately i've been feeling slightly rebellious,and want change,like a funky new hair style o something.i've been thinking of myself with red/auburn hair.hmmmm the jury's still oout oon that one..

We've got so much rules and rutine as a border it feels like we're in the army!!we even have to plan ahead for our meals and holidays!i feel slightly suffocated at times.there's also gona be lots of changes since we have a new principal this sept and she's already making loads of changes that we dont like,like placing a new surly/haughty looking college housemistress nobody likes(they asked us our opinions but took no heed of it) and maybe sacking my econs teacher cause she want an econs/business teacher.the 3 new candidates for econs r to be put bluntly r not the ones u want teaching u and was just awful.one was too childish in her approach,i mean come onn we're 17/18s NOT kids!the other was too slow and read everything of her computer and the last one was muttering away in his own world,repeating over and OVER the word 'depends'..Depends on WHAT??!!

what the school doesnt realise is that business and economics r verryy different and to be good at economics the teacher must know what he/she is talking about,not just read of from the txtbook.its all about analising and evaluation.you can only go so far as getting maybe a grade D by reading and memorising the textbook and theory.i am not a happy bunny right now because of this and slightly worried about next year..my mood just deteriorated the whole day today.

sighh..

well apart from that things r good i guess.

half term

2009-03-04T14:55:00.000-08:00

During Half term i went down and stayed at my uncle andrew's place in Devon.Its near the coast so the beach is just 2 miles from where they live.I had a great time there with them and i shared a room with my cousin,Emily.When i was there we walked down to the beach and so i saw lots of the countryside,we went to watch Holiday On Ice-mystery(ice skating) in Exeter,went surfing on another beach(although i didnt go in the water as it was just TOO cold-i admit i was a coward*sighhh* while the rest did it.hahah,so will go surfing in may),went doughnutting at a ski centre(basically its where you sit in a doughnut shaped thing and someone pushes you down a slope-it was great!!i was even spinning down the slope!) and also went to the eden project which are the pictures below.
i will have pictures of the doughnutting soon when emily sends me them and will edit this post then.for the mean time enjoy!!

this is what doughnutting is to those who doesnt know what it is..
half of the eden project.there is another half to the other side with another dome.it was just too big and spread out so i couldnt get a whole picture of it. how Cool is this!!its electrical appliances put together into a robot!i loved it

hahahh Alicia and i posing for the camera.fierce huh! LOL

this was in the tropical dome.the rainforest like we have at home.its hot and humid in here that they even have emergency rooms!as some people faint,cannot standing the heat and humidity!hahaha

us standing next to a waterfall,although u cant see it.

This was in the mediteranean dome.i though it was paradise!with birds singing everywhere,scents of lavender and other stuff in the air and it was cool and beautiful..peaceful and calm..with structures and statues built into it to create and eden garden.absolutely lovely!

Paris day 4

2009-02-12T14:56:00.000-08:00

This i thought was the most tiring but great day..We got out of the hotel as usual and went to take the metro to Versailles to visit the Palace of Versailles.To those who dont know,The palace of Versailles is where the treaty of World War 1 was signed and where previous French Kings and Napoleon once lived..It was FREEZING cold on that day in Versailles.My fingers and feet were frozen stiff!The Palace was humongous and beautiful.It was lovely..

Me looking tired,just left the hotel and is on the metro to Versailles.verry atractive :/

at the cafe,which took us AN HOUR to find!!told you the place was big..but to be fair,we just kept going in circles and lost..there was this french guy,verryy cute,who we asked how to get to the cafe with limited french.he told us how to get there,in french with some hand gestures,how to get there..so we went out and round the building and 5 minutes later arrived from a different entranceAT THE EXACT SAME spot where we left with THE GUY STILL STANDING there..It was so funny and embarassing!hahahah he just smiled and laughed at us and pointed to us how to get there..

Me,Andrea and Luci The Versailles Palace,a tiny section of it anyway Would u look at the size and extravagance of that ballroom!beautiful!!

The chamber where the kings and Napoleon held court

The Notre Dame,famous for its gothic architecture which was dne with pecise detailings and took 200 years to build.This is the building in the disney movie 'the Hunchback of Notre Dame' with esmeralda and the big bell.got lots of gargoyle statues on this building.

The Eiffel Tower

In the lift to the second floor of the eiffel tower.I'm not good with heights and is scared of it.probly an understatement.Laura and i were like holding tightly to the railings and couldnt stand straight for a couple of minutes when we got to the second floor!!it was amusing..hahah.. we didnt go to the top because that night the temperature was -15deg C up there..Cold or What!!

pic from inside lift

underground on the way back to hotel

During the night we went to Chartier as well and i TRIED SNAILS!!I didnt really want to since it was gross but i was kinda like encouraged and dared into it,and felt really daring that night so what the heck!we're in paris so lets try something that they eat.Fiona and i were the only one to eat it.i'm quite fussy with food and me eating it was quite something.hahaha.i wouldn't even eat some of Brunei's traditional food yet now i'm eating snails!it was urrghh,ickk and ewww..its not so much the taste that was gross,since it actually taste like mushrooms and lobster,but the texture of it..it was leathery and hard to chew apart and abit slimy-ish..just thinking about it now turns my stomach.BUT I DID IT!!now i can add eating snails to my life experiences!hahaha.but i wouldnt do it agin though..Fiona actually liked it.my papa loves it..it just depends on people's taste for it.u might like it!try it if u have the chance!i got a video of me eating it and tried a couple of times uploading it here but the file was corrupted and it messed up my computer so i had to delete it..when i get it from a friend and the file is alright i'll try to download it again..hehehe

Paris day 3

2009-02-07T15:58:00.000-08:00

As usual we started this day early..We went to The Palais de congres again but this time to a bigger conference room since there was about nearly 1000 people all over the Uk and some from the EU countries.It was Future in Europe conference with Members of the British Parliament(MP) there to give a talk and some businessmen and economist.It was a great talk if i say so myself except for the one bit that was soo boring.The owner of Gu was promoting his product instead!!and it was so boring and repetitive.My favourite part was at the end where the questions and answers were on.Really good questions were conjured up and some of them were just hilarious..We were given a talk on EURASMUS as well and that was immensely informative.The guy was a german and multilingual and he was just so entertaining!

Bonjour Paris

2009-02-06T14:18:00.001-08:00

Bonjour Paris!

We had a school trip to Paris for 5 days and we stayed at the Hotel Ambassadeur which is smack bam in the centre of Paris.We took eurostar to Paris through the channel and went to the hotel to freshen up for a bit before leaving to go to La Fayette,which is THE place to shop and the biggest and most fashionable place(the centre of shopping in Paris)..We walked there and on the way we noticed the traffic was so bad!The french people are soo impatient!they drive haphazzardly as well and i thought KL was bad..Horns are beeped ALL the time.For crying out loud be patient!!
Police cars just kept passing us,sirens howling.We were wondering what it was about but just shruged it off.Well when we got to the La Fayette,we saw 20 or more police cars parked side to side and back to back to each other,blocking the entire road!the La Fayette was locked down.apparently it was in lock down mode because there was a protest going on,so the people inside is protected.It just closed down a few minutes before we got there.We were so bummed!walked all this way and it just shut.The police were just standing there looking at us.So we left..

Hours later we found out through the news that apparently the was a protest of 1 million people on the way to La Fayette and they arrived there just minutes AFTER we left! and the Tear gas went off barely minutes after that(tear gas makes you blind temporarily and eyes water)!one million!!bloody hell,can you imagine being lost in THAT crowd?it was chaotic apparently.We were stunned to hear that.we were so lucky we left.

well here are some pictures;

us in our hotel rooms right after i had a shower..

well as some of you know i'm abit of a novel geek..i just love reading novels(depends on the genre though).i cant really explain it but for some of you who likes reading then you'll understand.I went into town to get a book from a favourite author of mine since it was released yesterday but when i got to the bookstore and asked for it they told me that it will come out on the 15th of jan!! It was released yesterday in America not the Uk..shooot..that burst my bubble..but atleast it will come out AFTER my exams and not during it since i wont be able to resist myself..heheh

25 december 2008

I lovee presants!!hahah who doesn't rite?if u dont u come and c me and i'll put u straight!!hehe
but urrghhh i soo do NOT like wrapping them.too much hassle if u ask me..
On christmas morning,1.30am-ish i snuck down into the living room to put all of my presants that i got for them under the tree and wow!!i saw all of the presants ALREADY prepared..i was giddy!!hahaha
i was so excited i slept late..and was woken up in the morning by alicia at 6 something!i want to open the presants yes but i wana go to sleeeeeppp. she was like 'Elllaaaaaa we got presants!santa's been here..look at your stockings!' (our stockings are on the floor next to our beds and were full of chocolate,sweets and some presants) Bless her,she's still at the age where they still believe in santa.
Alicia(8) didnt want to use stockings since apparently it was small and wont get loads of presants from santa so she used a pillow case...hahahaha and it was full of goodies..

loads and loads of prezzies...i got 10 presants!hehehe

still loads more hiding next to the TV under the table there..aww look at papa and Alicia..

here i am with Emily(better known as Em,since Emily sounds too girly,since she's a bit of a tomboy) and Alicia..

Damnn..its soo unfair..I'm like what?5 years older than Em who is 13 and she already overshoots me!!i feel soo small..*sniff* and she's still growing!!Bloody hell she got a size 8 feet!!while i'm only a 3.5..she's probly gona be around 6 feet tall by the time she stops growing,just like her dad..

my lily style napkin

we had the whole christmas dinner with trimmings and all so i was doing the napkins and i chose to do the lily style..it took me a while and a few practises to get it to this perfect shape..hahaha

i was soo proud of it after i finished.. ;P

the dinner table that i helped set up..notice the cuttleries,all of it came out and were set out..

hahaha my Uncle Andrew on the right and papa on the left..Uncle Andrew looks like a marine like that..hahaha. shuushh he must never know that,or he'll have a big head..LOL

26 december 2008

BOXING DAY!!! for those who r a shopaholic like me boxing day r the best day to go shopping..you can get the best bargain of the whole year as all the prices are cut and most have up to 50% o 60% discounts..so basically the prices are halved..

Aunty Wendy and i went into town and shopped for half a day..it was GREAT!we went into loads of shops and tried on most everything that catches our eye..i even got an outfit for my friend's 80's party!!cant wait to use it and dress up,with big hair,fluorescent rainbow eyeshadow,fake lashes and blood red lipstick!!woohooo,80's baby..

27 december 2008

we went skating at the ICE BOWL..hahah i'm not a pro at skating but i'm alright..it's just like rollerblading but more slippery..here's Alicia and I,poor thing fell down loads of time,not from lack of knowing how to skate,she does,just some tumbles..

it was cold in there..our cheeks were pink..

huge place..thats cause this is where the Dumfries Ice hockey team plays and practises..there r stands as well at the sides for when they have tournaments here..Ryan(13),my cousin,is a Shark..thats the name of the team he plays in for ice hockey..He's one of the best players and is always named in the newspaper after they had a tournnament..i'm so proud of him..Thats his ambition,to be a professional ice hockey player..

The skating pro..hahaha..Em took this pic of me..

Me and Alicia..

yeaa we're cool..LOL

hahahah LOL uncle Andrew look so funny here..Such a poser!!hehe(i can talk*wink*)

all in all i would of got out there without a scratch but uncle Andrew here threw a snowball o a better name for it,iceball, at me when i was skating fast and it knocked me and i went tumbling down..hahaha.my hands were scraped..ouch..WAR!!

so Emily,Alicia and i declared war and went to scrach some ice with our skates to make iceballs,chased him before throwing it at him..poor Em she got some down her jeans..hahaha so funny how she jumped up and down trying to get it out..

my 18th

2008-12-14T11:41:00.001-08:00

this is us setting off from school in our 4 inch heels..andrea looks as if she was crying but she wasnt..haha just a bit flushed after perming her hair in her study,and without make up..thats a first for her probly as she ALWAYS wear makeup,ESPECIALLY if she's going out..but we didnt have time..i barely finished doing her hair and charlotte and the rest were a bit annoyed since we were supposed to set off then..

Its my 18th!!!!arrrghhhhhh.....

hahahah it was raining a bit when we walked into town and Andrea's hair didnt stand a chance against the rain..luckily my hood was large enought that it covered me..heheh.Nothing messes with my hair on my birthday!! grrrr

This is our table where i sat..we had two tables as they couldnt fit 20 girls in a row..awww rach and nessa looks lovely..My girls!!and baby jess sitting next to rach(she's only 15 bless her as she skipped a year)i'm like the oldest at our table and among us..

Nessa and Sophie trying to rape me!!arrggghhhh...hahaha overrr!! damn!!i'm like swallowed up in between them..

awww fiona just look pretty and sweet..

i had a great night then..was planning to go someplace else as well after that(wink) but didnt have much time as we had to be back to college house before 10.30pm as i had a concert to perform the next day and was told not to get wasted,not that i would.. :(

Pantomine

2008-12-14T10:46:00.001-08:00

At the Mount school we have a tradition whereby every year college 1 will do a whole pantomime production.This year we are doing Alladin(in was a close vote between Alladin or Cinderella)..i was chosen to be Jasmine as apparently my looks and personality fits the character Jasmine..i didnt want to do it at first but alas i just went ahead and never for a second did i regret it!! it was simply awesome!!

All hail princess Jasmine!! heheh. aint the dress lovely?! it was lucky Jess found it hiding in wardrobe..we had a dilemma of what i was going to wear but lo and behold its the same colour as my head band!

My handsome STRONG prince!!(megan)

Damn i must say we make a fine pair!!

the beautiful Fairy Godgenie(in case those of u dont know.'a fairy godgenie is created when a genie and a fairy-godmother loves each other very much and have a cuddle')hahahahah

these are the 2 handsome guards..the meanies who captured my Alladin!!you will pay for that!! i'm gona miss these 2..they went back to Germany after one term in The Mount School..love u guys..

The King(vanessa),Queen(katie),Jasmine(me) and Samirah(sophie) considering suitors for Jasmine to marry 'as since i am just a woman' i cant rule alone..Mr lingard(my physics teacher),regarded as prince Lingy the third suitor for my hand in marriage..hahahah

i jus LOVE the part where i get mad and say 'this is ridiculous!!i am not marrying a man i've never met before in my life!i want to marry a man for love NOT just so i can RULE and if i marry linggy here i'd never be able to wear high heels again!!' then i turn and point to the audience wink and point to them.

poor mr. lingard..we tease him for being short(he's 5ft 6in?)..he's cool about it though and a really great teacher(and i must say very cute)thats why he's a favourite in the school...we just drool over him in class.

Alladin here thrusting his hip to acompany what he is singing('Take u over,sideways and under')
to which i,Jasmine,reply 'Take me eh alladin'(wink)haha

this is where Alladin first met Jasmine(we r having our moment at the side there) and he doesnt know that i am a princess,right before the guards as ordered by Jafar captured Alladin..

damn!Jafar(Geri) look scary there..

'Please Mum and Dad can i marry Alladin?' as since he is not actually a prince,a fact that was confessed by him moments before(he only looked like a prince from his wish to the fairy godgenie)

Geri(jafar) look like a paedophile there!!hahahaha

the whole of college one..The directors and the people in charge of costumes standing on the floor while the casts and stage helpers on the stage..

i miss it!!just fun and great to do..it was crazy,fun,hillarious,frustrating and simply great to do..

this was held on my birthday(11 dec 08) and i can tell you it was the best 18th birthday EVER!! after the production the director told everyone there(basically the whole school an staff) that it was my 18th that day and so EVERYONE sang Happy Birthday to me..it was a bit embarrasing but i was soooo touched..That was the first time ever that i celebrated my birthday in school and everyone in school sang to me(usually in dec its already the hols)..they then clapped and stomped their feet..hahahahaha

hectic week

2008-12-09T13:36:00.000-08:00

its was crazy last week..and more so this week..crazy in a good way though as there was loadsss going on..

Tuesday(2 dec)
college went out ice skating at the ice factor here in york.i went skating before but wasnt good at it and fell down a couple of times before so was a bit nervous..hahah.after a while,it only took a few minutes,i relaxed and started to have a great time.but to our consternation,charlottte and i found out the hard way that we couldnt skate together as we lost balance with each other and fell TWICE while skating together..
it was a laugh though..

Wednesday(3 dec)
Charlotte's birthday today!!we went for a night out to Tuscany's and it was great till i started having pains in my left abdomen..it kind of ruined the whole night for me..

Sunday(6 dec)
soooo unfair!!while the girls went off to birmingham to watch the clothes show i had to sit in an old church(without electricity or heating,as it was THAT old) with olny candles all around and sing in the choir!they got to see some of the actors in holyoaks and watch the saturdays perform and loadss fashion clothes being strutted down the runway!!urrrghhhh...i am soo nt going to miss it next year no matter what happens..even soo,i must say that we did an awfully good job of singing and i did enjoy it alot..

Monday(7 dec)
we had rehearsal for the panto and it was great!!i cant wait till thursday!!my costume is sooo prettyyy..hehehe.hahahah at night we also had carols on the stairs for all boarder(it's a tradition for the mount school) and i read out a lovely christmas poem and everyone sang the carols.charlotte and vannessa was soo mean laughing at me.apparently they thought i sang a bit out of tune but hmmmfff i soo did not!

Tuesday(8 dec)
The school's rock concert was AWESOME!!wow i salute christa!she is such a music person..she can play basically all the instrument ,compose music and sing!!damnn her song was just,man i was speechless..and wats her name lucy or chloe?well i dono she was terrific!!not a lot of people can pull of alicia key's song and also beyonce 'If i were a boy'..we had a rock on nite..the teachers were soo funny doing their performance..hahahahh

Volunteering!!

2008-11-29T08:42:00.000-08:00

Vanessa,Charlotte.Gerry and i went intto town around 11.40am(we should've left at 11.30 but i was running a bit late but it not mY fault!!i woke up a bit late!!blame the alarm!heheh)

we got to the office collected the things(balloons,the bucket,and donation box)..vanessa and i then went to connery street? i dono..and stood at the intersection where people pass alot.

hahahah at first we were like 'uhhh,wat do we do?' it was kind of hard to give the ribbons out and get some donation,we were even shy and embarassed.

'Hello,we're giving out free ribbons to represent world aids day' and Some people were even mean!!ignoring us and just walking past when we were talking to them!!i mean COME ONNN they were FREE ribbons!!just take them for god's sake..

the balloons which were popular with the kids,they were so cute(bless them)

when it was 30mins left till we were done we then started to ignore our embarassment and just go for it!!we pulled guys who passed to the side and gave them the ribbons and when they donated we then gave them the condom packet!!LOL.the look on their faces!!priceless!!hahaha.

we started to enjoy it..talking to the groups of fit guys and giving them the condom packet if they donated,laughing all the time.there was this guy who wass sooo HOT and soo nice!!he went up to us and donated like 2/3 pounds to vanessa and i.it was so nice of him i could kiss him!!

The condom packet!!hahah(in it are plain condoms,flavoured condoms,lubricant,instuctions on safe sex and etc)

after 2 hours of standing in the cold our fingers and toes were numb with cold(despite wearing gloves and socks) and they were sore.we walked back complaining all the way('ouch ouch ouch').we finally finished up all the packets and got considerable amount of donations..

the girls even snatched a whole LOAD of different types and flavour of comdoms..hillarious!!it was a s if they were in a candy shop!

Ghost town......spooky....(3.45pm)

bitterly cold today and also spooky by the time it got dark.thick fog around the whole town..i was walking back to college house alone and was a bit scared(mind u i'm not a wuss but the fog around the place was thick and it was just spooky)..hahahah

finally glad to get backk..

Goodddd save us from people who snores..i am just so glad i dont snore.that would have been embarassing!although charlotte DID sayy that i snuffle a bit..hmmmm..hahaha

lets hope i'll have a peaceful sleep tonight....(fingers crossed)

Kinky song

2008-11-24T12:41:00.001-08:00

we were in morning meeting,and megan and charlotte was sitting on either side of me..we sat at the back so we whispered to each other about the fortcoming panto rehearsal.its going to be alladin this year and college 1(us) are the ones producing and directing it..

megan; have you read the script yet?(i'm the main actor in it,Jasmine,and she's Alladin)

we both hadn't read it so she showed us the script and so we went through it and had a hard time containing our giggles!!LOL

the script was hillarious and full of sexual inuendos.

here's an example..(this is the song,part of it anyway)

alladin; i can show u the world
shinning,shimmering,splendid
tell me princess,now when did u last let your...heart decide?(winks)
i can open your eyes,
take u wonder by wonder....

jasmine(me);take me ehh?(i nudge alladin flirtaciously)

alladin: over,sideways and under..

jasmine; ooooo kinkyy.

hahahah i love that part!!theres more yet but i wont spoil it now..
