SRC dinner and moar curly fries

Yesterday night was the last SRC dinner (at the Thai House North Parramatta) I could ever have had the opportunity to go to :3 Feels so sentimental. Me, MP and NA affectionally refer to ourselves as 'original 3' becausw we were the original 3 SRCs in year 8 and we stayed togetherzz throughout the years until we graduated from that safe haven of the C6 and Miss K and now we're in B11 hanging with Mr U.

I took my Polaroid along and snapped up my 3rd picture of me, VS, OL and Miss K to officially farewell me and VS's reign as SRC Presidents. Ah the timez we have shared.

Oh SRC how I will miss you. You were my everything in high school for 4 years and I put so much effort and pride into you :)

We also all got such wondetrful farewell presents and cards from everyone in the SRC. How sweet :')

(I LOVE THE CAT HAHAHA)

I love you guys, for everyone who was the 'old' SRC I've literally grown up with you and for all the 'new' ones I can't think of any people more deserving (and for the juniors, I can't think of people more cute! hehe)

I remember the first dinner I went to when I was a wee lass and we all clapped as we farewelled the old Presidents and I remember I was in awe of them, thinking about how inspirational and amazing they were. I would have NEVER imagined it would be me that would be farewelled one day.

This sounds like a thank you speech.....basically I can't believe I'm so blessed with such great opportunities in life :)

I got this AWESOME clutch as a goodbye pressie :) I LOVE IT !



Had an awesome time last night with awesome company, haha sorry for OW for putting up with all the nicknames I make for you (OKPCW^2, Big O etc) and OM for your stories about being in Peru for 2 months! Thank you to VS for being the best co president anybody could ever wish for <3

Wow. As I'm writing this I can't believe I'm so old. I still remember when I was in Year 8, all young and shy..

Today I went to library after chem tutor and SS, CL and I got to have a catch up sesh over curly fries and bagels! Yummy yummy :) Dat curly fries obsession is still not cured....

Love: Michelle

P.S. Today my sis bought me a pressie!!

BT sometimes has these for recess and they are the most delicious things ever.

P.P.S. We had this awesomely nice waiter who looks like Joseph Vincent yesterday serving us at the Thai place and he told us he was in Year 12 too in Castle Hill High!!! How exciting! Wish I'd gotten his name then we could be buds and all hehe :) He called HH 'mate' when we were leaving :D

Franky and Blades + Leap Year

Woo yesterday was the 29th which certainly isn't a day we see often (once every 4 years to be exact) :) How did you guys spend it?

I got sick on Tuesday so I stayed in my comfy bed on Wednesday and drank hot chocolate :)

Everyone around is concentrating on their Frankenstein and Blade Runner comparative essay

Franky (best book ever)

Blades

Been going to library so much this week. Castle Hill library = new home

SRC dinner tomorrow night!! I was hoping to wear the new blue wedges my sis bought but itf it's raining maybe not

I'm going to bring my Polaroid and take one last pic of me and VS with Miss K for the last day we can say we are SRC Presidents :)

Love: Michelle

I'm 17!!

NOTE: this was written on the 22nd of February 2012, I didn't want to post it then cos I didn't take any of the pictures yet :P

Wow. 1-7.

Today was one of the best, if not the best birthday of my life (only I think 16th can be a real contender).

It differed from my 16th though; it was low-key, relaxed, but full of laughter and good weather and smiles and memories :')

Firstly, at recess I recieved a polaroid and film from AM, BT, RH, MQ, GZ, KT, RC and RL. Thank you so so so so so so so much guys; I love it so so so so incredibly much :') Not sure how many 'so's' I can fit there but honestly I nearly burst into tears :) Thanks for the burnt sienna hat too!

ROFL MY REACTION FACE WHEN I GOT IT:

Thank you to EL for the AWESOME DELICIOUS COOKIE and the super cute piggy lunch box :) I love love love cute lunch boxes :)

Thank you to LL for the awesome earrings! Too cute :) Haha I've already worn them twice :)

Thank you to MQ again for the use of your camera practically all night when we went out for dinner :D The lighting is soo cool (I call this photo cruise ship cos the background looks like a cruise :D )

Thank you to everyone who wrote me a card, texted, wrote on my wall, wished me hbd in person etc :) It all meant so much to me and made me feel so special :D

Thank you MP my Vice-captain male counterpart; who initiated everyone in Prefects roll call singing me Happy Birthday and tried to get everyone in my chem class to do the same ROFL. I couldn't ask for a better partner :) Woo secret handshake time!! :)

Thank you RH for the chocolate cake!

Thank you to JP for the super cute bag :) I LOVE the colour!!

  Thank you to GZ for the super fancy cupcakes! I've never seen such nice ones! Sorry sorry that I ruined them when I accidentally dropped the box :(

Thank you to BT for my first ever mix-cd! Listening to it as I'm typing this :')

Thank you to my Mummy for paying for the dinner!

Thank you Daddy for the blowtorch! Now I can make creme brulee hehe :)

Thank you to my sister (who has currently been away from home all week cos she's an O Week leader or something for UNSW) for the new pyjamas! I would take a photo but you hid them from me haha and you said you'd show me when you came back home :P

Anyway I know this is a lot of thanks but basically I want to thank EVERYONE that made this day such a spectacular and special one. My last birthday as a high school student was so magical and honestly I wouldn't have changed a single thing about today. Even math tutoring was super fun today lol :)

I'm taking all my cards to bed and reading them all again before I fall asleep. I love you all so so much and I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family :3

Chinese New Year and that back to school season

Hey guys! Hope you all had a prosperous and wonderful Chinese New Year!! On Sunday night I went out for dinner with my family, my cousins family, my family friend Issie's family and her cousin's family. Phew that's a lot of people!

We went to the restaurant in Parramatta, Prince and it was crowded! We had lobster and fish and so much nice food :)

                                                         Such nice lobster!!!!!!

We all got red pockets to tie onto red strings into holes in the ceilings so when the dragons came around they would come by our tables and 'eat' the red pockets :)

When the dragons came around everyone got so excited in the restaurant and there were cameras everywhere and people standing on chairs etc and the noise from the drums and cymbals following the dragons were deafening! It was such an exciting atmosphere! :D

                                                           Blurry pic of the dragons
 I remember one time when I was younger maybe 2or 3 years ago I went out to Yum Cha for Chinese New Year that year and when the dragon came around it came towards me and then the guys inside the dragon costume leaned over me do I was inside the costume and I saw one of them grab my tea and drink it LOL. He must have been really thirsty. My mum was really excited cos she said that meant extra good luck :) touching the dragons tail is also considered good luck so everyone in the restaurant was touching the dragons tail :D

ALSO this was sooo exciting!! The restaurant had this prize giveaway and they were randomly pulling out numbers out of a hat and the table that had that number got a prize eg if you were sitting on table 22 and they called out 22 you got a prize. I was talking to my sister like omg wouldnt it be cool if we won a prize??? And then they were calling out the last number and the host was like the last number is forty..... FIVE and WE WERE TABLE NUMBER 45!!!!!

He was calling out the numbers in mandarin and I can't understand mandarin so at first I didn't know what he said then everyone at my table started screaming and I was like WE WON??????? OMG WE WON!!! And we started jumping up and down and my sister started laughing cos apparently I was so happy there were tears in my eyes LOL.

The prize was a red empty suitcase and my aunt got to keep it :) haha our whole table was just going crazy and the tables next to us we're like....haha they were were probably jealous hehe :3

Okay but after a while I was less excited cos we realized they rigged the prize giving ROFL so we're not actually particularly lucky, it's cos we're really good friends with the manager and we had given him a red pocket before we started eating and after we won he came around to our table and took photos with us and gave us all conspiratorial winks like ;) and he kept saying stuff like 'My favorite customers' and when he was saying 'Forty....' I realised all our parents has been shouting FIVE!!! And putting up five fingers like they were giving high fives and we were right in his line of sight ROFL so yeah not luck just connections. Like the triads LOL.

Oh well still exciting stuff :)

On actual Chinese new year I went out with my family to eat and it was nice family time :)

How did you guys spend yours? Also I have been wanting to write this post since 2 days ago but as you can see there are no pictures today in my post which is unusual for me and this is cos my computer hasn't been working for a while so I'm writing this only my iPad at the moment. I'll probably add in cool pics later :)

Also my SCUMBAG POOL! Lol it was soooo dirty and green on Friday when friends came over and 3 days later on Monday it turned completely blue and clear. It looks sooo clean and nice :) pool party before school starts? Lol.

Comparison: THEN

NOW



Love: Michelle

P.S. Recently I've been getting into Polaroid cameras. I've always really liked them so I've tried doing so research online about how they work, cost, film etc but I'm quite noobish at it so I called on my pal JJ, the most informed and best photographer I know, for some advice. I await his knowledge, and any you readers might have :D I'd quite like to have one for 2012 and the last 3 terms of HIGH SCHOOL LIFE! :) starting off with a new camera would be lovely to capture those memories :')

EDIT: Hallelujah my computer is working again!! Pics are up now to accompany blog posts :) Personally I love the addition of photographs to posts, it adds a break to the text and adds atmosphere :D

Summer weather has finally caught up!

And by that, I mean it's very hot here in Australia (as opposed to the constant raining we had in December). Perfect weather for swimming, which is incidentally what I will be looking forward to be doing tomorrow at RC's birthday party :) Ah summer days...
Yesterday my cousin and his fiance came over for dinner :) My mum made really nice food:

This is nice steamed fish :)

My mum makes the BEST steamed oysters :) She puts vermicelli on top

An up close of my oyster. There's a soy sauce-sauce my mum makes to garnish them it tastes really nice :)

Ooh Biscuit got a new toy recently

HAHA it's the starry unicorn thing from Neopets :) She LOVES it. When she want to play fetch she will hold the unicorn in her teeth and brush it against your leg then drop it on your foot HAHA :3

This is Biscuit enjoying her new toy :)

I also rewatched 'Grease'

Remember this movie? I LOVE IT! It's my favourite musical  :D My favourite songs are 'Summer Nights', 'Beauty School Dropout' and 'We Go Together' :) You should watch it if you haven't already!



Hmm what did I do today....Well I decided to study UMAT (well do some practice papers) and since it's so HOT I went to the library :) Nice air-con there. I procrastinated a bit by reading an It-Girl novel (BT remember that time I borrowed one on your dad's library card haha and we were joking about how his card borrow history is just full of It-Girl books?)

It-Girl makes me want to go to a boarding school :( Waverly Owls!!

OH on the subject of Dad's I'd like to do a shoutout to my Dad: HELLO DADDY! I know you read this blog HAHA :)

Ooh I also saw HH, BT and RH at towers tioday and we shopped by RC's present which I hope he will like :) Just casually standing in the can aisle in Coles trying to decide which flavour he would like best and constantly changing our minds haha

OH ANOTHER EXCITING THING: Biscuit's mother Tia had another litter of puppies!! They were vorn on Boxing Day so they're only 9 days old :)

Here are some PHOTOS:

Love: Michelle :)
