Oh yes, the aptly titled, "Happiest Olympic Worker 2012" is definitely worth watching. Especially if you've been studying for 6 hours straight and your desk is covered in yellow post-it notes full of quotes for english (which you most likely will not end up using anyway). I don't even know why I bother. I feel like I cram all these techniques and lines into my head but when the test comes, they all just escape out my ears or something.
Last post ever - until after trials, I swear. I don't even know why I've blogged so much recently when my time would be better spent studying or something. I think I blog the most when I'm stressed. Yeah, that's probably why. Most people eat ice cream or listen to Taylor Swift songs on full blast. I blog.
Anyway, just wanted to share a gif from that popular tumblr site. Good luck for trials tomorrow everyone!! And be prepared to watch me crash and burn during the creative section! If anyone hears angry sobbing in the hall tomorrow, you can assume that'd be me... after having read the creative stimulus. fml.
Hey guys, you know that post down there - the one beneath this one? That was my 666th post.
I'm not a very superstitious person but seeing as trials are coming up and I don't want to jinx myself, I felt like I had to do something. So here is post number 667. It makes me antsy to see the words "666 posts" everytime I log onto blogger.
Okay, that is all. Y'all may go back to your studying.
No seriously, stop procrastinating.
I mean it!
GET YO ASS OFF THIS BLOG RIGHT NOW AND GO STUDY!
Fine.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Out of those 8 predictions, I only got about 2 right. And these were only partly right. There was no Harry Potter parade - HOWEVER, there was a giant Voldermort air pupppet thing. Close enough I guess. JK Rowling also read out something in the stadium and I can't help but feel mildly sorry for her since everyone knows she hates attention LOL.
The Queen of England!.... didn't come out of a TARDIS, unfortunately. BUT she did parachute down into the stadium with James Bond from a helicopter. The Queen provided much unintended humour. I never knew it was possible for someone to look so unamused.
Other parts that I liked included: Mr Bean + Chariots of Fire, the awesome petal torch, the villain parade & the industrial revolution.
britain, david tennant, doctor who, harry potter, london, matt smith, olympics
The Doctor and the Torch
Was going to say that I would have been sorely disappointed if David Tennant didn't end up being the one to light up the stadium at the opening ceremony. After watching that episode of Doctor Who last year (was it really last year or did I get the dates wrong??), I felt that it wouldn't have been right if he wasn't the one to do it.
Then I saw this:
And this:
And this:
My life is now complete.
So is anyone else going to wake up early to watch the ceremony? I'm going to, even though I have this little thing called The Trials coming up and I'm supposed to be getting enough sleep. What do you think they're gonna do? Personally, I'm hoping for a Harry Potter float. Come to think of it, I've got a few ideas of what they should do. How bout I write a list and tomorrow, I'll come back and see if any of my predictions were right.
The 2012 Olympic Ceremony will consist of:
- A Harry Potter Float - consisting of four giant floats to represent each of the houses. Then Daniel, Emma and Rupert will come out on plastic brooms suspended above the stadium (safely harnessed of course). For added effect, they may even attempt to project a Dark Mark onto one of the screens.
- A Doctor Who Parade - complete with Daleks, Weeping Angels and Oods. OMG, they should also wheel in a TARDIS and set it in the middle of the stadium. And guess who steps out of the TARDIS?
- The Queen of England! Now wouldn't that be dramatic? I can already picture it happening. Fog machines will turn on and the lights will be dimmed. It will be a glorious moment.
- Susan Boyle. They should get her to sing "I Dreamed a Dream" but if that's not possible, she could always do the National Anthem.
- Charlieissocoollike. I'm not sure what he could do but it would be nice if YouTube had a representative. Perhaps he would be willing to paint himself purple again.
- A performance from The Spice Girls. They could put them on one of those stages that seem to rise out of the centre of the stadium. I'm sorry but I can't really think of any other British bands at the moment. Oh right, One Direction! They could pair each of them up since each band has 5 members each. Maybe we would get a One Thing/ Wannabe mashup?
- A Shakespeare performance. Oh come on, it wouldn't be an opening ceremony if you didn't feel like falling asleep at least once.
- Performances from Ed Sheeran and Adele. Whooooo!!!! British music represent!!!
And that's about all I can think of.... if anyone knows how they might manage to work in Jamie Oliver, William and Kate, please tell me. I have a good feeling about my predictions, guys. Let's see how many I get right.

So I was watching random Voice videos on YouTube and somehow managed to stumble upon this one. It's pretty good. Y'all should watch it - if only for that exquisitely cute moment at around 2:13... or maybe you just want some good ol' Danny from The Script. Admit it. You do. It's okay - I won't judge. He is quite fit, isn't he?
Does anyone else do this:
- Pump themselves up to study
- Sit down at computer/desk
- Think about what needs to be done
- Get depressed whilst thinking about what needs to be done
- Figure that it's too much work
- Give up
?????
There's so much to do, I don't even know where to start.
Don't mind me - just make sure to step around my body as you walk past. I'm just gonna lie here and wallow a little... You're welcome to join me if you want. We could have a bit of a cry over school tomorrow - and bemoan the fact that the majority of us don't live in San Diego, California, United States of America.
Advertising genius.
Huh. So they are making a movie.
I don't really remember much from The Mortal Instruments trilogy besides the fact that there was this hot guy called Jace who liked to walk around shirtless, showing off his epic tattoos - kind of like Jacob from Twilight I guess. (Nancy had a thing for this hot guy, if I remember correctly.) There was also a girl - Clary? She had powers (duh) and she and the hot guy I mentioned before had unresolved issues. Issues that had something to do with falling in love and then realizing that they may, or may not have inadvertently committed INCEST. Wait am I talking about the right book? This sounds awfully like Cersei and Jaime in Game of Thrones. Anyway, they're making a movie with:
Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace. And because I can't resist, I have to post this picture as well:
Isn't he beautiful, Nancy?
Lily Collins as Clary.
Jemima West as Isabella,
and it is rumoured that some guy called Shannon Kook may be cast as Magnus Bane.
I can barely remember anything from the books (read them about 6 years ago) so all this casting news isn't doing much for me. But hey, I always find book to movie adaptations quite interesting to follow. I guess I just like to see how they manage to transform words on a page into an actual film with real people and stuff. At this point, I'm not going to judge or offer an opinion on anything. I don't think they even have a trailer yet so there's not point saying stuff like, "THIS MOVIE'S GONNA SUCK SHIT," which I think a lot of people already started thinking when they cast JCB into the role of Jace in place of the much beloved Alex Pettyfer.
There are no spoilers in this post, jsyk.
I am happy to say that out of those 9 predictions I made about Game of Thrones Season 1, I got 3 and a half of them correct. HOORAY! You can now go and guess which ones.
Screenshot spam anyone?
As much as I would love to recap my experience of Season 1 via a gif explosion, I can't do that because I don't want to risk seeing the spoilers of Season 2. Seriously, I can't even watch anything on Youtube because for some reason, everyone likes to upvote the comments with the spoilers. INTERNET, Y U NO LYK ME???
Gif dilemma aside, I can still talk about my reactions without posting anything spoilery. Short version: Game of Thrones was SO FUCKING EPIC LIKE OMGZ BROS I DON'T EVEN.
Long version: Well, there is no long version. There is so much to say, so much to react to - just thinking of typing it all out is giving me a headache. Plus it would sound something like: "That scene in episode ____ with _____ and ______ was so awesome. I hate how the writers _________________________ but at the same time I ___________________. And omg, I feel so sorry for _____________ 'cause ______________.
I have so much respect for HBO right now. I've always wanted to watch True Blood but if Game of Thrones is any indication of the quality of TV they make, then I really have been missing out. And you know what's the best bit? I reckon, even if you're not that much of a fantasy fan, you could still like this show. It's that awesome. I also love how all the sets/costumes/scripts were given so much thought. You can tell that everything in the show is of the highest quality - not that a good budget automatically = a great show but it does make the experience that much more enjoyable.
Lastly, I LOVE YOU DAENERYS TARGARYEN PLEASE HAVE MA BABIES. Oh wait that wouldn't work because we're both female.
To sum up, I have a gif. It's not that great but at least it expresses my respect for the show producers/writers/actors/etc/etc.
After watching episode 9 of Game of Thrones. I want to do this. Repeatedly:
I knew it was coming though. Damn those spoilery youtube comments.
And Joffrey, you may be pretty, have beautiful eyes and remind me of Draco Malfoy before he turned ugly, but dude you seriously need to get your head blendered after what you did. I hope your guts get ripped out by direwolves and your body gets poked full of holes by Arya's sword.
Good luck trying to win Sansa back now, bitch.
Good luck trying to win Sansa back now, bitch.
I love my major work about as much as I love Chinese mushrooms, racist people, the flu, bananas and that stupid game where they make you draw a given shape with only one line (and without lifting your pen).
I don't even know how to fix it lol. Cause fixing it entails rewriting the whole thing. Le sigh.

It's not really a song.... more like a THEME song. But who cares about the song? No one's gonna notice the song - not with an opening as awesome as this.
As I watch this, I wonder, for the 7th billion time, how much money they actually had in their budget. Srsly. Season 1 was like one big, giant, 10-hour movie.
I have a lot of questions after watching the first episode of Game of Thrones. Mainly:
WHY IS EVERYONE SO HORNY IN THIS SHOW?!?!?!
Is it something in the water? Is it something in the air? Is like, beheading people an aphrodisiac? I don't know.... but it definitely doesn't stop all the characters from going at it like dogs.
So I finally caved and watched Game of Thrones. I am a sucky person - I have zero willpower. You hear that? That's my HSC going down the drain. Okay, not really. But I figured: Season 1 has 10 episodes. If I watch an episode a day, I should be finished by the end of the holidays. That's good, cause I can put it all out of my mind by the time school starts. Logic!
So anyways, here are some thoughts I have on the first episode. All in all it was an epic starter. Everything was so beautiful - like Skyrim turned into real life. I read on wiki that they filmed on location in Ireland and Morroco so I guess that explains it. I'm also wondering how much it costs to film a single episode. Probably a bijillion dollars or something like that. ANYWAY, here are my thoughts (in no particular order)
- I don't care about nudity. Doesn't mean the boob/bum shots aren't distracting. Just sayin'.
- Daenerys' brother is a BUMHOLE. I want to snap his scrawny little spine in half.
- The little boy from the Stark house was cute - I hope he doesn't die.
- Why does that buff, man-warrior guy wear so much make-up?
- Speaking of the buff, man-warrior guy I refuse to believe that this guy:
is the same as this guy:
- Why is everything so prett - oh wait, I said that already.
- BOROMIR!!!! WHOOOO. I can't take him seriously when he's not trying to steal the ring from Frodo.
- That opening was like, THE BEST OPENING EVERRRRRR.
- That boy prince (I have no idea what his name is - seriously, have you seen the size of the cast?) looks like Draco Malfoy. He also looks kind of sinister. I think he's evil.
- Actually, I think everyone's evil - except for the little boy who nearly dies (or does die)
- Should I have read the books first before I watched the series?
- WHY IS EVERYONE SO HORNY??.
Now that you've seen my thoughts for Game of Thrones, I am going to make some utterly inaccurate predictions about the series, based on what I already know so far (aka nothing).
- Daenerys has a dragon inside her which she's afraid of releasing. When she does release it, it will go on a scary rampage killing everything and anything. (You've always got to watch out for the innocent-looking ones.)
- Someone will have sex in episode 2 - pfffff, duh.
- The little boy will die... for DRAMATIC IMPACT.
- The show will end in democracy
- At least 12 people will die from White Walkers attacks - one of them a significant character
- Daenery's brother will get chucked off a cliff (hopefully)
- There will be mermaids. Okay, probably not. But there will be dragons.
- Daenerys will learn to love buff, man-warrior guy. But it will be a doomed love because he will probably die.
- I'm out of ideas already.....
I hope no-one confirms or denies these predictions. Just so you guys know, I am extremely spoiler-phobic. So no spoilers please! And I'll try to do the same for those who haven't watched it yet.
So after working 4 hours on The-Project-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, I wanted to do something fun. But for me fun = computer games. And computer games = addiction = failed HSC. I'd deliberately not asked for any TV shows before school ended either cause I wanted to be a good girl and focus on my studies. Pffffffffff. Anyway, that left one other thing I could do.... draw fairies!!
She's not exactly a fairy... more like a cross between angel and demon. Close enough. I was going for seelie half versus unseelie half anyway. Oh, and uh, she wasn't supposed to look so Asian; I just kind of suck at drawing faces. No matter! Cultural diversity is always good, even if it is unintentional.
BTW, my shading does not usually look that good. Instagram just makes everything look fifty times better. Instead of one shade of grey, there are fifty shades of grey. (ESHAYS!! SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?!) Don't read Fifty Shades of Grey by the way - unless you're into BDSM - at which point I still wouldn't recommend it because the writing is shit.
I don't know about you guys but when I'm sick, I get absolutely no pity from my parents. Instead, my mum goes on this crazy rant screaming, "I TOLD YOU SO! YOU SHOULD'VE WORN MORE LAYERS, EXERCISED MORE, ETC. ETC." Unfortunately, today I woke up with a blocked nose and stuffed up throat which meant I had to spend the whole day avoiding my mum. I had to stick to one syllable answers like "yes" and "no" when she asked me questions and everytime I wanted to blow my nose, I had to do it upstairs with the doors closed. So far, she hasn't noticed. I think I should be fine though, as long as she doesn't ask me anything that requires a sentence-long response. Le sigh. I am such an oppressed child.
I think my aversion to photos came from having taken too many as a child. My dad was Snap Happy to the extreme - still is I guess. It got to the point where my sister and I would run away whenever he tried to take family photos. One Chinese New Year, we sabotaged all the photos by blinking in them. The adults only noticed about 4 hours later and man were they angry. We still have a code name for that sabotage. It's called "Operation Eye". This year, we sabotaged the photos by doing jump shots behind the parents as they took their group photos. They still haven't noticed.
If you're wondering what's with all the photos, it's because I recently found a folder on my dad's laptop with a whole bunch of old shots. There are some really embarassing ones in there but I think I'll refrain from posting them.
Now, let me introduce you guys to my new favourite thing in the world:
No, they're not little poops. They're Cream Puffs - aka the most deliciously sweet things you have ever tasted. Seriously guys, I'm not even joking. These things are addictive to the extreme - which is really bad because during these holidays, I've rarely ever gone out to exercise. I thought they were profiteroles at first but the box says "cream puffs" so... cream puffs it is. My auntie had some out on a plate during our townhouse breakfast and when my sister told her she liked them, she gave us the whole box. O_O I wasn't about to argue with her.

My cousin's girlfriend, who's from Chile, also brought over some sort of Chilean sweet. I think it's called Cuchufli? They were really nice too. They're basically waffles sticks (but with a much more papery texture) filled with caramel.
So um yeah. Maybe I should be exercising...
