There's no freedom in sight

My hair was stufffffed this morning, had to do something to make it look decent :S

Finished chinese essay woo :D

During dinner last night a winged ant was apparently harassing us, I however, did not see it.
Then once dinner was over, it flew into my face :)
A few moments later I hear this conversation
Mum: Hey, it's that flying ant that flew into Lisa's face
Dad: Kill it!
Mum: No, let's chilli sauce it to death
*silence*
Mum: It's having little spasms of a spicy fatality.

My bro borrowed them from his work..to play with them? They're $600 RRP o_o
Haha, they're pretty cool, you can watch tv, dvds, from your iphone or whatever, just plug it in. And what I like is that the screen looks distant but large, like as if you were in a cinema :O


Chronicles of Sony Ericssons I've owned.
They have been all returned to me, but a few are missing the batteries and the black k800i is completely dead :|


Another piece of technology brought home by Michael, it's a hi speed camera. Just digital, but it can take over 100 photos per second I believe...D: Yeah. Costs around 1k, so the same as an entry level slr.

Bardot Sale.



Just few of the things I bought. In the end I spent just over $50, and managed to find a playsuit, tank, jumper dress, semi formal dress, and a sequins high waisted skirt.

< rant>
Dinner tonight, my brother was discussing his options for the future. And mum started getting really agitated. The way she was talking and what she said, even now...I feel doomed, my brother is 24 and my mum is still clinging to her stranglehold on him. She really has no idea.
And arguments with her always end the same way, she says why do you keep arguing with me, I'm tired and I've been doing so much today.
When really, no one was arguing with her, she just has to refute anything that is remotely different to her opinion.
She needs to read my expository essay haha the 'Other people's viewpoints can stimulate and expand my thinking' one. If she could hear what she was saying, then I think she'd realise how ridiculous it all is. Not to dismiss everything that my mum says, but she needs to learn the fine line between caring and controlling.
Kudos to my brother, his shanghainese is way more advanced than mine. I wouldn't have been able to hold up against her for that long before I started mixing english and shangy together.
< /rant>

Love Lisa.

Okay Okay..Alright

Today felt productive, I wasn't in my, oh no I'm going to fail life mood (which I often am in these days)
However, I should still be doing even more work, since the work load has no definitive end.

Saturday went South Melb Beach with Martin :)
It got a little windy and not so warm later into the afternoon but it was good while it lasted.


During my webcam photo taking sesh I managed to take like 3 non blurry pictures out of 123097235, the rest turned out like:

I'm so smart :)

Er now to do something, homework, read..ANYTHING :D
Love Lisa.

PS. There is a shit load of photos that I need to import off my baby (don't misinterpret, i am referring to my D60, speaking of which i want a macro lens so bad, but maybe a polarising filter should come first, since it only costs a fraction of the price), but the whole process is..irksome, especially when a have a plethora of other things to do, but i promise they'll be up by the end of the week, not that they're are of any particular importance. BUT WHATEVER :DD

Excuse my inconsistency

I'm just being lazy, and I loathe when I'm lazy. Truly, I feel a little disgusted by myself, wasting precious time in, what I've come to realise, an ephemeral life.
Mmm melodramatic perhaps but I believe it to be more than true.
But it's just too easy to sit idly by (for me at least), and to whittle away the minutes and hours staring into space.

I'll try to curb this habit, but I'm currently trapped in a vicious cycle :S

I'm already wearing what I plan on sleeping in, if you're wondering what's with the camo print...and after this i realised my arm looked oddly disproportionate...

But see^ it's normal..kinda (I'm holding the blind down, it kept blowing outwards and making the lighting even brighter :|)


Now reading the girl with the pearl earring. This is my prime reading position, feet up on the wall my desk is against.
(no wonder my posture is so terrible)


Had our chinese listening SAC, overall it was alright, there were 2 or 3 things I kept missing both times it played eurgh, oh well *fingers crossed.

What I realised, I like my hair right after it's dried, it's softer at that stage. And it also seems more voluminous :D

I guess I'll sleep early tonight.
Double spare tomorrow morning, might go to school normal time though to finish all my homework..fun :\

Love Lisa.

Spesh Test

Darn this mid afternoon lighting throws weird shadows.

Yeah yeah it's only a test whatever. So I don't care that much, but our SAC is an analysis task, so if I can't do a basic test in spesh then I'm fuucked for the SAC.
It was alright I guess, I think I lost about 6 marks though..OUT OF 26 :| yeahh, if it manages to stay at 20/26 I'll be happy enough..considering I just passed both of the exams last year.

Also, we got our new school ID's :) Which meant we got to see how our school photo turned out. I don't mind mine, but I never do, then I hate it, then I like it, then I don't care again.


There's just ONE thing that is pissing me off, you'll all be like wtf is wrong with her it's no big deal, but i have this bit of my fringe, that separated with the rest of the fringe and it's just aggravates me to notice. I could have so simply brushed it to the side, but no, no.


New favourite writing implement.


That badge we got (the year 12 one, the other one we got in year 7) at this assembly:

Can you spot which one I am :P

Recent but belated:
Our Retreat. Why yes, we do all have drawn on moles and one eye with makeup...




Chinese New Year



My cactus won't stop spawning

Massssss spiderweb woo :D


My bro's back from Sydney in a couple of hours. The moth that previously flew into my face is back to haunt me.

Time for sleep,
Love Lisa.

PS. I miss you.

Pomegranate [10/02/10]

In case you didn't realise in the title, that's the date I was MEANT to post this. I think I hit save post instead of publish a few times.


I'm so sorry dad that I doubted you when you told me how good pomegranates were.
I am a believer now.

My bro got me a new card reader..that is a combo with a card reader :D
I can't believe I haven't had one til now, I mean I've never had enough usb ports on my cpu and i constantly have to swap out the card reader for other usbs and what not.




ALSO. I found my D60 manual.


I'm not surprised I haven't seen it for half a year, because you know what I found sitting on top of it, my nintendo DS, the original one (thankyou very much), which I haven't given a thought to it since god knows when.
Oops.



Aww and seeing the r4 card made me remember how many games i used to play on my DS LOL, far out I loved the Trauma Centre surgery one.
And don't judge it because it's not a DS lite.

Love Lisa.
PS. nothing interesting happens often enough for me to write daily...unless you want to hear me complain about everything, but I'll spare you that

Beijing Noodle No. 9

Located in Las Vegas. I want in.

V-Day & Chinese New Year

Happy Valentine's.

Nothing interesting to report, though my brother left for sydney at 4am. I actually don't know why he went, something to do with uni/research/engineering haha.

It just got really windy.

And alternatively if you're asian (...or not asian i guess, don't want to discriminate), happy chinese new year 新年快乐！
Hope you all had a more exciting day than me ;)

Love Lisa.

Early Celebrations

Hello chipmunk.


It was Cath's birthday today and bread day woo. That means cake and bread.

Saw Valentines Day with Martin. It was alright, very cute movie, not much of a storyline but it was interesting how they all the characters were interwoven into each others lives. The happy ending with the kid was unexpected but aww ;D

Martin gave me this cushion/plushie thaaaang ;D

It's so soft and squishy, but it's fairly fat, so it took up all the space in my bag and made it awkward to carry on my shoulder but who cares ;)
Yay now I have two things to hug to sleep hahaha.

and more amazing this:

Holy shit, yes it's the picture storybook I've had on my wishlist since i was 10 years old.
The storyline is just so ridiculously endearing.
One of the most perfect things I could receive.

Still not quite feeling in tip top shape but this temporary illness is definitely passing, wooo :D

Oh had a chem volumetric prac and i kept spilling sulphuric acid on my fingers :( it made them kinda sting and itch.

Promise I'll write more on the weekend, goodnight lovelies and happy weekend.
Love Lisa.

Sticky Weather

Close up in case you're wondering what in the world is going on with my hair.


Now reading Triage by Scott Anderson (YES finally got the books off Martin but not Animal Farm as of yet).

It was so humid and sticky today. School was a drainer, I couldn't concentrate on anything anyone was saying.
Mum packed a really good rice based lunch though LOL.


From our 'Retreat', sorry if you can't view it, you're not cool enough ;)

Oh and it was the VCE info night tonight and Dad insisted on going. At least he didn't insist on me going with him. Though I feel kind of bad leaving him to navigate our school alone. Oh well, I told him it would be pointless going.

I just got out of the shower and never have I felt so squeaky clean :O
I should really be getting to some more homework.

Love Lisa.
ps. 11th monthage ;D

Induction of School Leaders

Yes we had that assembly today. As expected it was long and fairly uninteresting besides from when Cath and Naomi(?) bumped into something/tripped when their form was standing up and waiting to get their badges.

Sunday Morning Hesistate

Yeah and this morning I was really bored, and avoiding homework at all costs therefore packed on the makeup..and had fun doing whatever, no harm in experimenting no?
Perhaps pictures of that at a later date (I call it the drag queen series) ;P



^From saturday night..I'm actually loving the usb man so much, look at him, he's so cute with stumpy arms and a printed on tie! ahahah no but really.

Anywhoo sleep time so I can wake up early for our school 'induction of leaders' assembly...mm sounds exciting doesn't it.
Love Lisa.
