Interviews

Got my physio interview tomorrow. 
Pretty nervous about it as I feel semi prepared for it. 
I'm just hoping for the best. 
Wish me luck

Are you the type who gets really stressed out and nervous for interviews?

Driving Part 2

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, been on a family trip which I will blog about soon...
Anyways I drove on Friday and today which takes my driving hour total to about 5 hours....which means I still have 115 hours to go before the end of summer. Friday was the first time I drove on a highway kinda road and it was alright but when you're going so fast you really do feel like you might lose control and fly off the road. And today I drove on the main road when there were quite a few cars around. I am sincerely sorry for all those who got stuck behind me and had to put up with my slow acceleration and random braking.

Last goodbyes

Today I stepped into and out of the school for probably the last time. Had my last rehearsal with the orchestra.
The sunset was epic today

Driving

Drove for the first time in 10 months today. I don't really like driving, maybe its a fear thing or maybe I'm just weird. But I gotta clock up the 120 hours this summer...if I get into Monash...PENINSULA...why did they build the campus there??

Bus Language

What is with people who use a swear word in every sentence? Especially those talking to people on the crowded buses. I think it's really rude and offensive. I admit I swear sometimes but not every sentence and not on the bus.

On a different topic...
I was down at Docklands the other day and...
witnessed something you don't see very often

Ever seen some mind boggling things?

How to make kids quiet

You know how teachers raise their hand straight up when they want kids to be silent and essentially shut up. Except it half works because kids just raise their hands and talk simultaneously. And theres the clap the rhythm method which is more effective than the raising your hand method but yet again kids just start talking after clapping the rhythm.

I don't know if this method would work but why don't they get kids to put both hands over their mouths instead? That way you'll get their attention and anything they say will be a muffled sound. Except kids find that kind of thing funny and you'll get a massive burst of laughter instead, depending on the age group of the kids.

So what is the best method to make a large group of kids shut up and stay that way?

Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes. I make an abnormally large amount of them. Today I decided to carry my viola around the city instead of just leaving it at school. Why? Because my teacher told me to practice and I did for about 15 mins. But I then gave up and decided to watch Gossip Girl instead.
The art centre in Melbourne.

Did you make a mistake today?

Deserted School

The school feels so empty with only the years 7-9 there. The library is almost empty and deathly quiet. It was fun lying on the reading seats and just chatting away with friends with no one telling us off. Scary librarian lady was no where to be seen, thank god. Who came up with the idea of a library?

Sorry no pic today. Nothing special happened.

Do you like going to the library?
I do because there are lots of cookbooks =]

Viola drives me insane

This week I will spend probably over 15 hours playing viola. Not because I have an exam. Not because I want to. It is because the school's presentation night is coming up and I'm in the orchestra. Can someone tell me why I chose to learn this instrument? 6 years and I still suck at it.


Music can bring you happiness, relieve, comfort, enjoyment and the list goes on and on. But I think all those who play and instrument also know that it can bring frustration, hate, anger and whatever else.

After this week I don't know if I'll continue to play the viola, it is really a love hate relationship with it being hate 80% of the time.

Do you play a musical instrument?

Drammaaaaaa

All year I managed to keep away from TVB (Hong Kong)dramas. Now there is a lot to catch up on. Today I started watching Gun Metal Grey and it's alright but a little slow. It seems a lot like Last One Standing. Also in the past few days I've watched half a season of Gossip Girl, it is very very addictive and repetitive.

Just a picture I took with my digital camera a few weeks back.
Capturing water in motion is fun.

Are you a drama addict?

Beds

Yesterday it was hot and 32 degrees, today it was pouring and 16 degrees. This is Melbourne.

Today family went to Harvey Norman to get some much needed new beds. It was fun sleeping on all the beds but my favourite one was this one made from special foam, except the name has escaped my mind. Pretty much when you sit/lie on it, it moulds your body shape. It felt like was getting sucked into the bed.

Hard bed or soft bed?
Soft ftw

Welcome =]

Hello

I'm teenagefoodie and this is my 2nd blog. My other blog is a food blog and I created this 2nd one because some things don't really belong on a food blog. I guess I will post everything non food related which I want to share with the world...or whoever maybe be interested.

I guess I should write a little intro about myself
  • I'm fresh out of highschool, finished exams yesterday.
  • I'm asian....and I love asian drama and music. LEEHOM! <3
  • I love food
  • I want to be a physio and a chef...except I have no idea how to do that
  • I like photography except I'm a total noob at it.
  • I once had a passion for inline skating, I don't know whether the passion is still there, I haven't skated all year.
  • I play badminton but I'm pretty bad at it
  • I secretly love playing AFL...(for overseas people, that Australian Football League, youtube it if you have seen it because it's a pretty weird sport)
  • I have a dream to play frisbee for Australia....I don't even know if Australia has a team...and I don't even play frisbee...
  • I love sunsets and bare trees
I think that's enough for now. 
A picture I took yesterday whilst walking home. The clouds looked amazing.

Why do people love sunsets and sunrises?
