so i finally turned 18.
How does it feel? feels like a few days after being 17.
Has anything changed? No, i still have to think for a while before i answer the question "how old are you?" except maybe now asians won't be surprised to hear my age.
Did i do anything wildly crazily insane on my 18th? Well, I wanted to have my first legal drink but everyone thought i would pass out after my first sip. they're prolly right.
Did i get any presents? Yep!
so what happened on my birfday? well it was prolly the best birfday ive ever had, simply becuz i spent the day surrounded by the friends i love and cherish. it didnt really matter what i did, just who i was with.
plus, i dont think ive ever been reminded it was my birthday so many times in one day. i mean, i forgot my own birthday once.... once. but yeah with all the humiliating happy birthday singing in public, i remembered just fine :P don't think ive ever had a whole food court of ppl stare at me before... good times... lol
so in the morning we had the interfellowship sports day with Sherwood (our sister church). that was awesome fun... felt like a mini camp. and who's group won? oh yeah thats right, 'GROUP NUMBER ONE! ...WE'RE NUMBER ONE!'
and i got a HUGE surpirse. SIMON BELL (hot n spicy) showed up at the sports day. he hid behind B and i was about 40 meters away, but all i had to see was the rim of his hair and i knew it was him. it was just *thinks* there's a white dude over there...cant see his face... wait... i know those curls ANYWHERE!!! lol thanx for the surpise sime. cant spell surprise
after that we went to buffet garden... same spot as last time. and ppls mixed heaps of things to make a horrible creation for bui to drink for 7 bucks, just like last time. oh! and the dodgy birthday tape played for me. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO mmmMMMM... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU" i DO feel special. especially since that song played every two minutes for someone else. everyones born in august... and no.. i dont wanna know what they meant for the parents.
then we went to have dinner at Little tai pei. what can i remember from it... oh
"HE WORE AN ITSY BITSY... TEENY WEENY... YELLOW... POKA DOT... BIKINI"
max trying to wear her napkin as fashionably as she could.
watching mickey chew his food, the man can bite like the wind but when it comes to chewing... lol
went to tea etc., like old times, and went to Fun House, like... those few times we did before.
but the day was exactly how i planned. everyone together having a good time just doing what we used to do, talking, laughing and enjoying eachother's company.
thanx everyone for the awesomest birfday ever :D
18...
Ching chong cha Timeless
So here's the song you've all been hearing so much about. I think the song was english and then they made this asian version. i just love how asian songs have random lines of english. i just sit there anticipating for that word... the only part i can sing along too... but then again... my asian is quite competent.
i just love the dude singer's hair
Everything comes down to Sven
You guys remember the poo song right (just scroll down) Well Ness and I couldn't stop thinkin bout sven the other day (as we all know) so we thought we'd make a song about him based on the Poo song (the awesomest song ever)
btw this took me forever, so you better sing to these lyrics.
Ness: You see...
Everything comes down to Sven!
He'll be stuck in your head, till who knows when
Who's the most memorable of all the men? We all know it is Sven!
Frank: Do you want to come to camp? You better state your case
If he doesn't like the look of you, he'll stump you in the face!
Ness: It doesn't really matter if your rich or if you're kool
He'll pack your bags and send you out and tell you you're a fool
Yes!
Everything comes down to Sven!
All: Everything comes down to Sven!
Ness: His ideas for youth camp send us into a frenz!
All across the nation, we trust in his dictation
Everything comes down to Sven!
Frank: If you're feeling down and blue, don't sit and wait for fate
Just think of him and you'll be fine, he'll send you to a trance-like state
Heidi: My cat died
Ness: Think of Sven
Random 2: I failed my exam
Frank: Think of Sven
Random 3: I won the lottery!
Ness: Think of Sven
Random 4: I can't stop thinking about Sven!
Frank: Think of Sven!
Random 4: But I already am...
Ness: Well... you're obviously not doing it enough.
Ness: It may sound nuts, you may say “No!”
Ness and Frank: But if you vote him chairperson, you will have to go!
Because...
All: Everything comes down to Sven!
Frank: He'll make next year's curfew not a minute past ten
Ness and Frank: You better move on over Zef, Em and Pen!
Frank: If you guys object, you'll be sent to the den
All: If he's on your mind, that means you'll soon find
Everything comes down to
Ness: Ren Yen!
Frank: Ben Jen!
Ness: Hen Ken!
Frank: Sen Len?
All: Everything comes down to... SVEN!
ahh scrubs
so ok i need to explain this to the non-scrubs kind of ppl out there. these guys are doctors. there's a lady that has something wrong with her and she hears ppl singing all the time. theyre tryin to find out what's wrong with her. i'll let the video speak for itself.
i dunno who wrote this song... but they're brilliant.
what is it bout this guy?
was surfing youtube (since i have an amazinf rush of freedom.. whats the first thing to do) and i found this clip. watch this dude... now there's sumfin bout him that reminds me of bui... what is it??
ooooooooooooooooh mannnnnn
bah!!! it went from summer to winter in a span of two days!! and since i think the British or American post is gettin out of hand... im gunna talk bout sumthing more relevant... like how freakin cold it is. There is a reason why autumn was invented... it's so winter doesnt seem to bad. but thanx to global warming and our screwed weather pattern.. we dont have that luxury this year.
k now im gunna elaborate on this point in a list of points.
What winter means to me:
Number one - Showers turn from a leisure activity to a dreaded task. And those "sudding" periods due to water restriction become a little more invigorating.
Number two - Avoiding physical contact with the toilet seat.. either that or brace yourself.
Number three - Ugly jumpers. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU FASHION QUEENS SAY (or bui) (...not paying him out, just saying he knows what looks good lol) if a girl is cold, she has the God given right to wear what only makes her look fat and hoboish.
Number four - Jeans. ahhhh yes... glorious jeans... and u know what that means? not shaving my legs... i know i know... i'm so glamorous. and it also means dry cracked skin. "tis the season to be fugly, falalala lalalala.."
Number five - Tucking my pants into my socks and my shirt into my pants... i look like a hilarious multicoloured snow beast in my home clothes. i would show u guys a photo but my camera died. or i just dont want u show u guys.
British or American?
Sorry Em, but u know this is "blog material".
so like 3 weeks ago, at bible study, i heard em say the word "learned" and i was like "WHAT DID U JUST SAY????" and i made a big deal bout em saying the word "learned" cuz i thought it sounded.. well... not right. but anyways tonite deary em left a message on msn while i was offline :P lol
ems *komen sent 30/05/2007 10:01 PM:
franky poo
if you remember
one day i used the word "learned" and you asked me "isnt' it 'learnt'"
well both forms exist
and it's not that one's american and one's british
though some people say that
it's cos they dont know grammar
the two differnt forms actually have slightly differnt meanings
and are constructed differently in speech
same goes for burned/burnt
dreamed / dreamt
ahhh thank you SeiSei Emily hehe u have enlightened me ^^
lol.... British or American... will never forget it.
Camp Karios Vid
In recent days, a seemingly random group of individuals have developed random abilities in random ways. After randomly finding each other they discovered that their “special” abilities were all linked for one purpose... to get “mindreader” Tim to the EMP Youth Camp and fulfil his destiny.
Every journey has a beginning. Tim's journey begins now...
Frances Dong
Frances Dong. This name has an extensive history of nicknames.... let's go through it shall we? *does excited dance*
k lets start with the basics.
France - As in the country yes.
Francey - Well i guess now its the country in a slightly more affectionate manner
Frank - suddenly everyone identified my name with a male's name, i know i know, these guns do fool u all. I'm pretty sure bui started up that one.
Frankus - Shannon from highskool/primary started this one. Shes a creative one :)
Frankie - I think thats pretty straight forward.
Frankenstein - Definately done by Zef. He flatters me. This was the stage where he'd think of 5 nicknames in a day. I think he resorted to Frankfurt Sausage. Yeah. He flatters me.
Fooces - Yeah it sounds a bit random hey. Well thats cuz it is. Actually it was started by Em. My dad wanted to make me a signature so he wrote frances so fast that it looks like fooces. Emily found that hil-aaarious. She also came up with Secnarf (name backwards). Yeah... we were a bunch of odd children.
Fran - Like the Nanny. I still can't imitate her.
Franny - Mainly used by my crazy highskool/primary friend Pharan.
And now we come to Fanny Dong. Mainly used by... u guessed it. Zef.
Well this all started when we were in choir and the song of the day was written by Frances Something. Now Frances Something decided to include her nickname, Fanny, in brackets, cuz u know... that might help ppl know who she is and all. And sime actually started the nickname Fanny Dong. He can make any nickname stick (Vances Tong and Franessa Day?). Zef made a few alteration to come up with Digger Dong.
Digger Dong came from his other creation... Gold Digger. Mmmm he knows me well. lol jokes... i think it was from the Logan Diggers scholarship i got last year. I remember the last time zef used my real name, during a prayer for praise and worship.
Zef: Dear God, i just wanna pray for everyone here, sven, em, umm (pause, thinks - whats her real name again?) frances.
Me: bahaha u called me frances!! u never call me that!
Zef: Yeah, well, at least God knows who i'm talking bout.
In primary ppl used to call be Daria (the depressed teenage girl cartoon) and Eeyore (the depressed donkey cartoon). I wasnt depressed at a young age, I just didnt express happiness lol. Plus my voice was a lot more mainly.
In my early years my mum used to call me "Eight Times the Ugly" in chinese. Cuz, calling me ugly wasnt enough to describe me, so it had to be multiplied by eight to give the full capacity. lol ahhhh asian parents.
anyways, just curious, if u have stories behind ur nicknames, please do share *thumbs up*
winter time
ahhhh winter is around the corner and it is gooooood. nothin better than snuggling in my pink fluffy robe. and that's not the only benefit when it comes to colder whether. It means that the guys will have to cover up. YEAH thats right... i'm afraid some guys have been revealing a little too much for my likin during the summer.
there should be an unwritten law of what guys should not wear.
Law 1. Guys should not wear short shorts. I mean ok ok if ur playing footy and u have a note.. I'll let u off... but if ur at uni and those pants just happen to ride higher than ur knees... uve crossed the line. Let's keep those muscular thighs on a no show
Law 2. Guys should avoid the tight tank tops. Yes i know i know... they accent the arms and all but it's just weird when i see guys wearing tops that i like... as in... something i would wear.
Law 3. actually thats pretty much it but u cant have a list of only two laws can u.
on an irrelevant topic... i'm gettin a little sick of crazy clarks. Everything is pretty repetative now... even the customer jokes. its gotten so bad that i can predict what the customers will say. 
city noobs
Thank you to my anatomy lecturer who was too busy to lecture us today *two thumbs up* And since my lecture was cancelled I figured itd be a good day to go dress shopping with ness for Pen's wedding. NAAAWWWTTT!! Do we girls ever buy what we're meant to buy when we go shoppin?
But i'll tell u what i did buy.... a swimming cap. Yeah. It goes with my wedding outfit. anyways you know how labels normally say "ONE SIZE FITS ALL". Well this swimming cap company must have been Christian cuz they were pretty honest. 
lol. It's like "errrr guys... maybe this cap really doesnt fit everyone... Like think about it... what if a few ppl on this earth have extraordinarily large heads." (not naming any names... sime.)
Happy birthday to sime btw *thumbs up*
What is with me and thumbs up now?
Me and ness shouldnt go to the city alone when we both have no clue where we're goin.
Me: I need to go to that place... and its like at the end... and its like... got buildings and shops and stuff.
Ness: *mental sigh* Broadway? Queens square? Winter Garden?
Me: Yeah.
after half an hour of walk back and forth aimlessly tryin to look for sumfin familiar we finally found our destination.... Macathur Central
Ness: macathur central sounds nothing like Winter Garden.
Me: Meh. Sounds the same to me.
*exchange unimpressed looks*
one day my friends... one day i will know my way around the city... and my own neighbourhood...
im poooooped guys, pooped. Lifting heaps of boxes that weigh 18kg each and carring them over great distances and stacking them up is noooo picnic. OH YEAH. thats right. this prissy sissy may not be as prissy and sissy as you think. i really should stop using words more than once in the same sentence. k. when i say "heaps of boxes" i mean 7. and when i say "great distances" i mean ten metres away. but still... they were heavy. ive got schwarzenegger arms. bui knows what im talkin bout.
u know, as a reggie chick at crazy clarks u experience things that dont happen to u very regularly outside work. where else do a guy and girl approach you... stop infront of you... and make out.
*couple making out at register*
Me: *hands credit reciept* Could I get you to sign here please? *still going* Umm. Guys? Guys? Sign here please? Guys? bahhh k whenever you guys are good and ready.
Chick: Oh sorry. Everyone can see hey.
Me: Hey you just read my mind :D thats kool.
k it didnt happen quite like that. anyway my passionate argument that im gettin at is that reggie chicks arent actually invisible and our registers arent a pitstops. i mean, our register is our office. nobody wants to be turned off in their own office.... this is the worst argument ive ever made.
more stuff on crazy's. crazy clarks sells the most promising products ever. My favourite is the packaging of this huge easter egg we sell. it is called... the AWESOME EGG. oh yeah.. its awesome. the box has a picture of kool lookin cartoon bunny wearing sunglasses and its pointing to a car. Its speech bubble says "THIS EGG IS MORE AWESOME THAN MY CAR!!"
whhhhhhhat. where did these people learn how to advertise? Griffith? Just kidding Ness :P
But yeah awesomest egg ever.
There's also this liquid hi-lighter that says - Will "never dry" even with cap off.
What do the inverted commas even mean??? so when they say "never dry" what they really mean is "will dry very quickly indeed".
have i ever told u guys bout this voice over thing that happens at work every hour or so? hmm why am i asking questions on a blog?
darn it.
sigh anyways every crazy clarks store has to play this excruciatingly annoying elevator music along with this dudes voice that promotes the store to our existing customers. his lines are the cheesiest thing you'll ever hear.
Cheesy dude: Here at crazy clarks, we work together as a team and that team spirit shines through in making a difference in people lives, by making great products affordable!
Me: Yes cheesy dude. We ARE saving lives by selling cheap products. The logic... is simple.
see, what cheesy dude is tryin to say is... "You customers are poor people, and we are so glad to be helping you who are needy. Please buy our stuff"
mmmm im gunna go... i feel sick from eating too many easter eggs and jelly beans today.
helleeeew
i finished my anatomy exam today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont confuse that excitement with me thinkin i did well. i just hope i passed lol. i think i guessed most of it.
OT chick: I hope you guys picked up on that trick question.
Me: What trick question???
OT chick: What muscles in the arm are innervated by the ulnar muscle.
Me: OH that.... i put 'none'.
OT chick: Yeah your right. And the reason for that is (hmmm i think i tuned out after that...)
Me: *blank look full of blankness* oooooh... yeah i put 'none' cuz i couldnt think of any muscles.
OT chick: Good effort.
anyways... now presenting more of the random blog bout random thoughts.
Random thought no. 1 - k this crazy thing happened a few weeks ago. i was walking from the bus station on the way home and i saw a bunch of asian dudes........ no no u don't understand the significance of this event and no no im not talkin bout *twirling hair and goin up to these asian dudes to ask for the time* im talking bout asians. in. springwood. there are noooo asians in springwood. k im exaggerating... theres supposed to be ONE asian in springwood. and these guys looked like asian-gangster-wannabes wannabe gangstering (its fun to repeat words in the same sentence). when the asian gangsters reach a suburb u KNOW asians are on the verge of conquering that land.
Random thought no. 2 - i discovered today something bout myself that i never really take notice of. I always like to shop after something stressful like an exam. but i dont mean spending $100 on socks. i find the best bargains after exams. i was swimming in $5 tops *pictures self dancing and twirling in slow motion with $5 signs everywhere*. chyeah. i am ze bargain queen.
Random thought no. 3 - The Lolly shop at UQ should be called the "Candy Store".
Random thought no. 4 - I have to get a first aid certificate. Right now im depending on this little wallet-sized instruction manual on CPR. As you guys may know... im a slow reader... so if you happened to have a heart attack at this age... you better hope and pray that im not the only person around. BUT im sure i'll be good at saving people after this course.
mmmmmm im gunna rest my thoughts now. Have a happy easter everyone. Hope we remember what its really bout :)
Uni vs. Highskool
kk i gotta admit uni life is a degree better than highskool. i survived the second week and there are a few differences between uni and highskool that I've picked up on.
It's like a violent brawl in Nerd Land.
Nerd 1 : Students - be a conscious contributer to socialism, liberalism - ANARCHY. Think for yourselves!
Nerd 2: Why would you want anarchy? Without the government, you hippies wouldn't get your centrelink payments.
Nerd 3: You're so foolish. (lol foolish... that must be the closest thing to a swear word) Socialism and Liberalism aren't about thinkin for yourself. Do us all a favour and read up on your political science.
(I dunno how they managed to bring an insult back to study)
Nerd 4: You obviously don't know ANYTHING about the history of social welfare in Australia... one of the best welfare systems in the world.
Yes..... The toilet doors at UQ are the hot spots of political debates.
Tea etc... the EMP youth hang out
here's a few things that happened bout 30 mins ago...
Vonnie: Oh look... they have chairs over there.
Me: *stares at chairs* I want the tall one...
Everyone: *turns around* Which guy are u talkin bout? Are you talkin bout Simon?
a while after that...
Ness: *stares at the light in the shape of a light bulb on the wall* You know... that thing looks like a miniature version of what guys pee in....
Everyone: oh. my. gosh...
Ness: urinal urinal URINAL UARNIAL AURIALL
*silence*
Ness: *looks at lightbulb* I want the white one...
Everyone: You mean Colin?
minute later...
Ness: I want the chocolate one...
Everyone: That's bui
Ness: oh.
Sandra: I want the asian one...
Everyone: bahh... GREEDY!!
Heidi: "I love boys *mwah*"
Another one...
Ness: *Points to tiny speck on the table* What's that??
Emily: Your brain.
OH! this one.
Rev Ling: So Tim... it's your birthday?
Timmeh: Yeah.
Rev Ling: mmm I have to push you into a pool with these two beautiful ladies *points to me and audrey*
Timmeh: ........... but why??
Rev Ling: Because it's your birthday!
Timmeh: .............. I don't... understand...
Frances: But we don't have a pool.
Rev Ling: Well we must find one!!
Soooooo random.
