I have taken to reading since I got back. Not that I don't read before this, I just haven't done much reading for the past two years. My mom doesn't think so, though. Must be the pile of books I brought back. But then, I haven't fully absorb the plots at all, so I'm rereading them. :)
Raffy's Shapes is the book I am currently reading now. It's a story about Raphaella and the people around her, and how she has an impact on them in the past as well as in the present. The story has a surprisingly bloody ending - something I had not expected from the book. So yes, I have read this book before, and I am rereading it again.
The author, Tamar Hodes, is actually Mrs Nicholls. Another nice surprise. :) However, if I stop to think about it, perhaps not so surprising. I'm honored she read my stories at all, and find them fascinating. I can't say the same for my own stories though. I find writing them an outlet of my negative thoughts. I don't write much nowadays, and I suspect it's because Twitter has became that outlet of negative thoughts now. :)
The last time I write a story was...five months ago? I don't really have any fresh ideas at the moment. There will be those times when I thought, "Right, I've just got this fantastic idea," and I sat down at my table, but the idea leads nowhere. I think I need exam conditions to egg me on *laughs*
OK, this is lame. I've just Googled BGCE English O Level past papers. I think I'm wayyy past the curing stage now. Desperate, almost. I'll finish up Raffy's Shapes before I start writing, though.
I'm finally back on homeland and life is...good? BBQ with the others today which was eyjafjallajokull (which is what I used to describe EPIC-ness nowadays) and fun and everything. ^ ^
Then when I got home mom surprised me by being totally accepting and everything, and she surprised me further by bringing me and my siblings out for dinner...and the Mall afterwards. I know. WOW. She didn't even comment when I buy new books. She must really be in a good mood.
I know. I should enjoy her good mood and be grateful. So I am.
I'm loving Son Dambi's song nowadays. Especially 미쳤어 [Micheosseo] [Crazy]. Ahhh I've found this song too late. But I still love this song to bits anyway.
By the way. Daddy brought me a new laptop. It's Samsung R730, a 17" awesomeness and everything. Just Google it to see its awesomeness.
I know it's strange saying this, but I had no idea what made me start blogging on that fateful day in August 2006. It could be a number of things. I vaguely remembered fiddling around with HTML way before I officially started this blog.
I think QBasic sparked my interest in programming. Yes, I know QBasic is so damn easy even a seven year-old can fiddle around with it. But I didn't know about QBasic when I was seven, so that arguement's off :)
After QBasic, I want to try some other form of programming. So I sort of blindly stumbled upon BlogSkins, and I was hooked.
HTML is web-design programming, and I started making blog layouts. My initial attempts were...bad. Real bad. So bad I have no intention of showcasing them hahaha. I still make a lot of mistakes now, but I had improved much since then. Well, I like to think I had improved :)
Adding to that I started editing pictures for my layout using Photoshop too. I'm still very amateur-ish at Photoshop, though. Never mind, most of the pictures come out pro looking anyways :)
I feel like mentioning my senior, Jeslyn Hii. She's the one who got me hooked onto やおい and 鋼の錬金術師 and goodness-knows-what-else. Anyway. I just feel like giving her a massive hug. She is a great senior.
Which reminds me. I'm apparently a bad senior but a great cousin. Just sayin'.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Things had just been...crazy. First off, it was the crazy exams, then the crazy night outs afterwards (which left me barely sober enough to do anything - just kidding) and food shopping at Waitrose and crazy packing. Which left me sitting in an almost empty room now, typing away at my laptop at a very unsociable hour.
Daddy arrived yesterday after-noon and he was smiling like he had won the lottery. He was also hyper, telling me all the funny things he had encountered for the past three weeks. And. He was holding a box of Krispy Kreme. DO NOT WANT.
After getting him to the B&B, I somehow managed to smuggle the Krispy Kreme into the boarding house and inconspicuously placed it on the kitchen table. Three hours later, it was all gone ^ ^
Rushed to School Closing, and was nodding off when all of sudden my name was mentioned. I was awarded...something? O_O No idea what it was for, but I got onto the stage anyway. I was given a Waterstone's gift card. Love! Apparently it was for my "contribution to the Sixth Form". Oh, err!
Anyway, after that I went into town with daddy, and he wanted to eat at Pizza Hut. I originally did not plan to eat much, but I ended up feeling full -__- Oh well. While eating, daddy told me more of his adventures and most of them was so funny! Hehehe I just have to mention Caesar remind me of my father ^ ^
I took him back to the boarding house, introducing him to anyone I thought he should meet. I began to notice that everyone ask him the same two questions after a while: how was his journey? Oh, so where have he been? Does he ever get tired of answering the same questions over and over again? -__-
There was a BBQ and daddy was graciously invited (although he ate nothing - still full from Pizza Hut). Got to hang out with Hannah, Kate, Pip and especially Helena for the last time. Hannah found a huge beetle the size of my thumb's nail and named it Typhoid Typhus. It was great fun ^ ^
After that there was a gift giving for us boarders. I was given a trumpet for some reason. Erm.
I've finally gotten my Leavers' hoodie! It's in white, with the school logo in front and all of the upper sixth's name on the back. Me love!
I'm all ready for the big events later...I just have to catch some well-needed sleep! じゃ、お休みなさい!
