a post
ok so it's been a while since i blogged anything. so here it is. today i went to meet up with Gloria (my little primary skool bestie). 
awwwww its always good to bum around the city with an old friend :)
and we went window shoppin (aka shoppin-for-the-broke-students-who-get-four-hours-a-week-at-povey-crazy-clarks *sigh* the story of my life).
we came across a bunch of asian tourists being lead around the city by a guide. typical... short pants, cap, sneakers and huuuuge backpack. sooo kool it hurts.
so i wanted to join in. we took a few photos with random things we found.
i saw this chick on a sale sign. my gosh she looks bout ready to jump off a cliff to end her misery. 
what's that over there? a sale? why? *gets on hands and knees* WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?
man.. when the emo epidemic has reached the girly shoppin community... u know its gone waaaaay too far ppl.
glors got a bit of tourist action too. 
Glors: It's like an eclipse!!
Me: No, it's not.
Glors: oh yeah... it's like an anti-eclipse!!
if u kinda squint a little... its like shes posing with a comet thats heading towards earth and about to end life as we know it.
if u squinted at the screen... bahahahaahahahahhahahahahah ahh. anyways!
we also walked past this guy who was tryin to convince us to be greenies. once i made eye contact, i knew it was all over.
Greenie dude: Hey would u be interested in our environmental..
Me: (NOOOO PLEASE NOOOO) ah no thanx :) *keeps walking*
Glors: *stops right in front of him to say hi to a friend*
Me: (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
Greenie dude: Well now i can talk to u :D
Me: *dies a little inside*
Greenie dude: So ah where u from?
Me: ... Brisbane?
Greenie dude: lol no i mean where are u originally from? like korea?
Me: ... Melbourne?
Greenie dude: oh... multiculturalism all the way!
ok STRIKE ONE greenie dude... if ur tryin to get money from ppl... dont assume every asian is a fob.
then he starts goin on bout cutting down trees and the debate bout carbon.
STRIKE TWO MR. don't assume every teen understands chemistry.
then he started gettin really passionate and swore during his speech. STRIKE THREE! dude, dont think that swearing bout carbon to an australian-asian is gunna get empathy. man i think he would have done alot better if he just showed me a picture of a baby tree with puppy dog eyes being murdered by the evil paper-making-company Reflex... then asked me for change.
but he seemed like a nice guy :)
met up with maxie poo too so its been an awesome day today :)
k im done.
Dreamworld
Well since tim did a pretty good report of dreamworld, sime put photos up and ness made a play... i got nothin but a cartoon strip.. of timmeh of course. lol life of the party that guy.
photo album photos
so i was going through my one and only photo album of pictures from when i was born till now (its not even full yet) and i found some interesting peices.
k u know how asian parents protect valuable items like the TV remote in clear plastic so that it doesnt get dirty but the plastic gets dirty anyway? and it gets to the point where the plastic is so cloudy that u cant even see the numbers on the remote anymore. well this photo demonstrates the precautions my mum took when i was such a troublesome little baby. 
i gotta say.. in my younger years... i was the most fashionable dresser ever. i mean... i dunno why ppl didnt ask me to take up modeling...
does everyone know my 'seductive wink'? u would be so lucky to see me at my sexiest. 
but did u know that it wasnt in my late teens that i developed this look of seduction.... i was doing it way back in the day....like... the DAY I WAS BORN!!!
Formal
Springwood buddies, here are some pro photos i got printed. You may steal them now. luv frances
I'M BAAAAAAAACK
Melbourne was awesome. It's all a blur now but yeah it was sooo much fun. but first things first... ANYTHING BUI AND EMILY SAY ABOUT ME AND MELBOURNE CAMP IS A LIEEEEE. ok now that that's done.. let me share with u kids what REALLY happened at camp.
well yeah the camp was like a collaboration of all Chinese Methodist Youths around Australia. 4 ppl from our youth went - me, Em, Janet and Janet. There was an english side and Chinese (fobs) side. it was pretty much like EMP youth camp except.. I like knew no-one. Except the 3 other girls. So yeah... u end up repeating ur conversations as soon as u talk to someone else. gets tiring though. this is an example of my conversations on the first day of camp.
Someone: What's your name?
Me: Frances. But u can call me France or Francey or Fran or Franny or Frank or Frankie or Frankus or Francine or Francesca or Fanny Dong.
Someone: *blank stare* So Frances, where are you from?
Me: Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane.
Someone: What nationality are u?
Me: Well I was born in Australia, Melbourne actually, but my mum is Cambodian and my Dad is Chinese.
Someone: So what do u do?
Me: Umm..
Someone: Like do u work?
Me: Bahahaha
Someone: ok... so ur studying?
Me: Well no.
Someone: *Thinks 'so ur a bum?'
Me: I just graduated from highskool
Someone: NO WAYYYY...
Me: How old did u think I was?
Someone: 20 or 21
Me: Why is it that whenever I'm in a group of asian strangers they think im older than I am?
Someone: So...what do u want to study?
Me: Bachelor of Business Management at the University of Queensland dual with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology.
ok. now these are my answers to the same questions by the end of camp.
Name? Frances.
From? Bris
Nationality? It's confusing
Work? I'm 17. dun worry, everyone else thinks im old.
Study? Business (topic will end there... dunno why...)
oh and i've been told this camp is like a dating service... married couples met at these camps. but let me tell u.. it's no dating service... everyone already had boyfriends and girlfriends. not that i was lookin or anything. shut up bui.
oh and it's tru that when u dont have something u appriciate it more. never have i wanted to taste the taste of tasteless water so badly. the camp water was yellow and tasted like fish and algae.
oh and i was always hungry at camp. ive finished all my meals *slaps self in face* and they were reasonable meals too. today i got home and my mums like "You havent been sleping have u. ur so skinny!" I have been eating! i tells the tarooth.
oh and my alter ego 'crazy asian photo taker' was unleeshed once again. (refer to myspace)
oh!!! i have to show u this. ok one the very first day i noticed that some ppl at camp look like ppl from EMP.
Sven's twin
Nathan's twin
Joshua Ting in 13 years
Sime L's twin (He did that pose himself)
Brian and Alex's third brother
but anyways lol it was fun and all but what i loved bout camp was seeing so many ppl have a passion for God. made me realise i few things. shall blog bout it later. for now i must go. hope to see my EMP buddies tomorrow!!
luv francey

springWOOD formal
they said it's not possible... but with God... i achieved the impossible...
bahaha ok serious now. i have achieved what asians has dreamed of doing... not spending a dime on their formal outfit.
dress - bec's
shoes, handbag - max's
makeup - viki
hair - myself
jewellery - viv's
ahh the beauty of having asian friends who understood my ambitious goal.
FORMAL WAS AWESOME!!! (or is was just better than what people expected... which was crap) so ok let me take u through what happened on "my big day". why do ppl make it sound like my wedding? anyways so we went to skool that day.. yeah crazy... but its springwood... logic just doesnt come into it. and we got our skool magazine (or year book) and i open it up to see... most photos were taken by myself. i will now forever be remembered as the crazy-asian-photo-taker.
so anyways i got home. and did my hair (in about 15mins). pay-50bucks-for-a-hairdresser-to-do-unnecessary-things-to-my-hair-for-90mins my ass. and then i headed off to meet viki to get my makeup done. the 2 hours sitting in a chair is all a blur to me. but one thing i do remember. viki is wonderful at makeup but there was one incident where she put black eyebrow liner on my eyebrows. but the thing is.. my eyebrows are already black.. so it just kinda 'enhanced' the blackness.
viki: Do you like it??
Me: yeah.......
*stares at mirror*
Me: but um.. do u know charlie chaplain?
Viki: yeah i know charlie chaplain.
*pause*
Viki: *gasp* oooooh my gosh! err let me get that off for u.
but yeah lol everyone loved her work so claps to viki :D omgshhhh seeing everyone all dressed up and adult-like was freaky as! and skool ppl saying i look nice is just as freaky. well come on.. i really dont care what i look like at skool.. u wear the same uniform everyday.. and when u look like u work at McDonald's.. u just give up on all hope of lookin good. JOKES. but anyways everyone looked sooo celebrity. formals show that anyone can look beautiful.. just depends if u could be stuffed.
so back to it. we took photos at underwood park. then the limo came. and we took photos in that. then we go to the hilton. and took photos there. then we went in the room to eat. but where oh where was the food? why did they have to make us wait? were they worried that ppl wouldnt take advantage of a buffet? hello.. most ppl didnt have time for lunch that day.. i think we were more than capable. i looked at the menu and it said "Beginners, Main, Dessert" i got my first plate.. ate thinking "ok go easy... save room for the main... abuse the buffet". by the time i finished.. the guy goes "ok now its time for DESSERT!"
WHATTTT WEB OF LIES!!! apparently i already ate my main meal. so thats how the buffet tricked me.
and we danced the nite away. and my feet will never forgive me for what i put them through... curse you high heels.. *gets down on knees* CURSE YOU!!!!
but the nite was soooo much fun. music was awesome and the enthusiasm... never have i seen so much skool pride in a springwood event... and it happened in the last week of highskool.. nice work guys.
ok so i went to an after party... but u see.. everyone was dead tired from formal... we just ended up sitting around drinking (but not me.. if i did i would have been pissing like a pregnant race horse). we couldnt even be bothered to make conversation. ahh but a good nite anyway!
so hope u guys had fun too. will miss everyone. graduation around the corner. bring on the kleenexs. luv yas.
God bless.
m physics buddies
u ever have those moments where ur so close to finishing skool that u start to realise how much u'll miss it and how much u love ur skool friends? i had one of those moments. i was sitting out on the veranda at mickee's and sean's, studying for physics with the dudes. i could never have so much fun studying physics for the exam the next day without my physics buddies.
why i love my physics buddies...?
ok well let's start with pharan. crazy but hilarious guy. when u get him calmed down hes such a nice guy. known him since grade 4 and wow.. we've changed since then. i think we used to hate eachother in primary skool. ahhh good times. lol he's kinda protective too. i love it how he drives me home and KNOWS i have my keys in my hand but has to wait till im physically inside the house before he leaves. i mean... u never know when those crazy geckos will come out to get me :P 
then there's mickee. he makes me laugh. and now ur prolly thinkin "gee frances... anyone can make u laugh". but i mean head on desk, running-out-of-air laughter. lol whether its his random swearing outbursts, random sean-hating and random hair-stroking. he also makes me feel at home anywhere. i could have the daggiest hair and wear my PJs to his house and not give a care (which i did last nite).
finally there's sean. one of the nicest guys i know. can't get over how courteous he is. like ok, ud think that in year 12 physics ud be competing with ppl and all... but this guy... prolly one place above me on the ranking ladder... happily explains stuff to me until i get it... and if u didnt figure.. thats a long time. its like that beer ad... "would u give up ur window seat so she can see the view... or would u be like sean? now that gallantry."
dont have an apple photo of sean :(
so yeah there they are. and even though we finished our last physics test and will longer embrace the beauty of hardcore studying together... i know i'll be seeing u guys around after skool, or as pharan calls it - LIFE. i thank God for friends like u guys :) have an awesome week.
peace out.
