Reminiscient

Hello!

Wow, its been an exciting couple of weeks.

School. School. School and.. oh SAC and then more school.

Enthralling.

On a brighter side, as a team effort of Alex, Shivani (sometimes), Michael, Jon uhhh and moral support of Kamal (NO wait he did get one or two words.. "macaroni"!!) completed TWO crosswords this week in The Age.

I've never completed crosswords before so yay to us!

Also got bestowed the honor of playing at the SchoolAerobics Hiphop and Aerobics Nationals on Sunday starring Beny's guitar (video'll be up soon)

Speaking of videos, I watched that Battle of the Bands clip from start of this year - quite enjoyed that performance =) voice went homo at some bits though weeee

Also, I get to organise the song for the Year 12 Review (photos of each person) and Graduation AND Valedictory! friggin sweet.

If anyone reads this and has any suggestions for a song that is reminiscient, reflective and just an overall good song (i spelt that first word wrong i think) perfect for a year 12 end of year type event, then the tag board is there so do post!

Radha pointed out to me that next week is the final week of proper school ever - cuz then after that its trials and examinations and revision and stuff .. scary because I don't want to leave school! urgh. Same story for everyone whos gone/going through year 12 hey?

Okay anyhow just thought I'd say something - I am slightly alive yes.

Cool bananas

You know what? I think I will! :)

Thanks Facebook Team!

Only got 4 minutes to save the world.

PS: title of this post is because it was started at ... yeah you can work it out.

So today, the 40 Hour Famine ended for me at 11:45.

I was joyous, and couldn't wait to eat a spring roll from the baptism lunch of Kenneth Han (congrats buddy.) and then eat a cheeseburger, go to this apparent lunch at the Wong's house to celebrate Uncle Luke's birthday then sleep and do my english essay this afternoon.

Boy was I in for a shock.

In short:
I'm very oblivious and tired since the famine made me... very tired and oblivious.
Also my parents are very good planners and even better liars.
I also have friends who must be used to lying to my face coz they did a damn good job of it today.

Surprise, its a day before Ashley's birthday and SURPRISE, a repeat of 2006, I got a surprise lunch.

Damn all I wanted was some sleep, sheesh.

NAH! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Brilliant job by Ruth who drove me to Kay-Nox and we bought 2 cheeseburgers and 20 pack of nuggets then mushrooms and Perinase sauce from Coles before "heading home to pick up a pot of food for lunch at Uncle Luke's house".

I even saved a chicken nugget for Pretzel cuz I thought he'd be so lonely at home whilst parents were at the Wong's house already. And then I walk downstairs and everyone yelled SURPRISE at Ruth with me following closely behind in which I thought to myself "Damnit they got me again." in the most LOVING way.

SCORE its 12 o'clock NOW. So I'm officially 18 now.

Chanchal Panwar = Number 1

Closely followed by Anu Kumar then Suzie Kim with the Bronze.

So yes, we proceeded all to have karaoke, eat Nando's, pizza and plenty of sushi and by 4 everyone got tired of it and left.

It wasn't over, next was a High Tea (no idea what it is. Must be sophisticated for dinner) with all my aunties and uncles that have seen me grow up. Which meant, (I hate to admit. And I hope they don't read this) seriously a lot of um.. gifts. We'll end that there.

But in a nutshell ? My plans of sleeping and studying were postponed until 12:00 which is now-ish. BUT ALL FOR AN AWESOME AWESOME REASON.





Three massive highlights:
1) Got the BEST card I think I've ever gotten? (Pictured)
2) Got pretty much the most practical and "I didn't think of that" gifts from the Godbrothers and Sister (Pictured)
3) Got to spend my afternoon with most of the people I love most dearly.

So yeah, sick day. I'm gonna start my homework now.
Gnights to you, thanks for reading

iCrave.

13 hours remain.

ITS HAS BEGAN.

Rumbling stomach. Craving food. Afraid of the next 36 or so hours. Writing errors (especially in the title of this post)

The annual 40 Hour Famine is upon us, this year its graced me with ending one day before my birthday. Thanks World Vision.


Greetings also to my audience of 2, possibly Jon and Marcus. If anyone else is reading, salutations and I do hope that you find me somewhat interesting and I can blog to fulfill your perverse needs of prying into others lives. Jokes. I do love you please come again.

So much has happened since my last surreptitious (mysterious?) post of: You frustrate me. Read on if you're interested. If not, gaze upon the photos of what has occurred. Pretty much sums it all up.

The 2 yearly, and final Tattoo ever:

a showcase of musical, acting, dancing and comedic (also under acting) talent from prep to year 12, spanning all campuses and over a whopping SIX nights!

was on.

Danced in the opening number of Hairspray's "You Can't Stop The Beat" singing the black lady's bit of "You can't stop today NO as it goes speeeding down the traack ooooo child YEAH".

Also did a .. 'duet' with Suzie Porrit - I was this dark figure in the background with a microphone. Light was shed upon me for about 10 seconds.

According to Mr Bell (Director of Arts at Hailey) the item is:
"Suzie Porrit and Chris Gassin.. et al. (and others) "
the only others is 2 names: Jesse and Ash. Really not hard.

The story is that in both the separate girls and guys assemblies, he advertised this item as Suzie Porrit. No mention of that Ash Chan kid. Bleh.

But I've had my blitch about it all ages ago and so just got over it.

Also sang in the finale song "Circle of Life"

The Tattoo is a joyous event in which all gather together and socialise, meet new people, dance and sing and its like life becomes a musical and rainbows pop out of everywhere with bunnies and hundreds and thousands.

Everyone also got sick too. So I guess ... rainbows with dark colours and bunnies with malaria with hundreds and thousands of uhhh bacteria particles. What am I on?

I too was unlucky to have be struck down and was out for 2 days of this week.



UM. What else is mildly interesting. its been cold? You know that psh.

OH I'm totally excited for High School Musical 3. What a homo. Check out the trailer and you might be too.

Tonight was J-Walk and it was an awesome program.
God is our shield and strength.
He keeps His promises.
He allows us to come Him despite us being scum.
We are filthy and unclean but he cleanses.

Pretty much motivated for the prayer group at school again. And possibly speaker/pastor/missionary.
But no way am I ready spiritually. Gotta give up more and commit more.

GOOD. Okay well, its now been 3 hours 35 minutes and I'm officially starving. I'll sleep to get my mind off stuff.

What do I want for my birthday?

That question has made me realise how blessed I am and I don't want much I guess.

Nintendo DS ?
Nintendo Wii?
PSP?
New Clothes?
Money?

Thats about it. and the first 5 aren't necessary. So yeah.

Okay photos, gnights.
