I feel so antsy right now because I don't have any video games to play LOL. What happened to Skyrim, you ask? Well my laptop happened. (Warning, nerdy computer jargon ahead). Basically , my puny little laptop doesn't meet the system requirements. This SUCKS because I've got the required 2GB (and more) of RAM, the dual core processor, Windows 7 and plenty of excess memory data. Unfortunately the only thing I'm missing is the video card with 512 MB of RAM. My one only goes up to 216 or something pathetic like that and that just has to be the most important component of the game's graphic quality. Pooface >:( I feel like time's running out for me. After these holidays, I'm never gonna be able to lose myself in a game like I've been doing when I was younger. Who hears about Year 12s gaming during their holidays? No one. They're too busy studying their ass off.

Computer issues aside, I had quite a nice day yesterday. I went to a city with a whole group of old friends from primary school and we basically just walked around shopping, eating Thai, getting smashed by bumper cars at Galaxy World and getting ripped off by dodgy, japanese claw games. (Seriously people, don't ever play those claw games at the caps place near Capitol Theatre - they are so rigged).

Oh and I shopped.
And spent lots of money.
Mostly on clothes and macarons.
And now I am even more broke.
And I feel so guilty.
And someone has to punch me in the face next time I'm about to spend lots of money.

What else did I do? Oh right, I looked through 4 asian drama stores trying to find City Hunter. This failed miserably.... it was sold out in every single shop I went to. No kidding. I knew it was popular but certainly not to that extent. Seriously Sydney, you'd think you'd have at least one shop which hadn't sold out of City Hunter. What is this? Are you telling me that a bijillion old ahjummas and noonas have managed to clean out every single drama store in the city in search of THE BEST drama of 2011 and that there is nothing left for little ol' me? Oh wait, don't answer that.

Despite that, it was still a great day. I had a great time with some old friends, catching up and reflecting on those blissfully ignorant days of primary school. The next time I see them will probably be after the HSC.... I feel sad just thinking about it.

Today, I went to the city with my family. Usually, I dont' like going places with them cuz they're so freakin' embarassing but today was alright :)

At Darling Harbour, the Hoopla festival was on, which was was basically a circus kinda thing spread out all over the harbour. There were fire jugglers, clowns, death-defying acts, etc. Some of it was pretty cool and some of it was like... For example, there was an old guy wearing a VERY TIGHT leotard and he was unicycling to "Love is in the Air". Yeh... that made ME feel uncomfortable and I wasn't even the one wearing a VERY TIGHT LEOTARD while unicycling.

I liked the breakdancing on the ladder. That was kinda cool. There were so many people there today though, everyone was taking advantage of the long weekend to go out to the city.

I went shopping for a bit as well. Bought a singlet-tee from valley girl and a stripy hoodie thing from ICE. God, my mum wouldn't stop talking to the shop assistant while I was in the change rooms. They talked about where they were from and my mum wouldn't stop chucking clothes over the door. But I couldn't complain since she was the one buying them.

After that, my aunty brought us to the most awesomest Japanese restaurant ever. It's called Mizuya, is located on George St. and is actually tucked underground so you have to go down some stairs to reach it. I liked it cuz you order on computer screens :D And plus its so pretty. They had glowing cherry blossom trees and lots of little, private tables.





I was so tempted to just press everything on the computer screen... but I resisted.

After that, my sister and I went to the new apple store to look for iPod earphones. We walked out again after 5 minutes. Seriously, $40 bucks for a pair of earphones? JEEEEEEZ.

Um, we also went JB Hi-Fi and I bought this:



LOL that expression is so freaky.

A friend once told me that "Amelie" was her favourite movie and that I should watch it. That was 5 years ago... LOL I think its about time I watched it.

There's so much else that I did but I don't have time to blog about it all. Gotta go tutoring in 5 minutes :( I bought ice cream at Darling Harbour and for once it wasn't mint choc chip. From now on, I'm going to try something different everytime. Otherwise how else will I know if I like it or not?

Yesterday night, Nancy, Tian, Amy, Yuan, Serena and I went to watch Avatar 3D at IMAX. Roxie's parents drove us there and paid for our tickets. That was our Xmas present :)




The movie started at 9:30pm and we got there at around 8:45. When we got to the city, Tian and I kept squealing over how pretty it was at night :L We kept pointing out different apartments that were going to be our future home. There was a really nice one near Chinatown but Tian didn't want to live near there. Why not?? We could grab chinese food in the middle of the night and Nancy could just walk to the nearest Korean store. Plus Chinatown is cheap. Isn't it?

Roxie's parents dropped us off near the Ferris Wheel place and told us to walk to IMAX ourselves. When the six of us got there, we sat on the benches near the harbour and tried not to stare at the couple that kept making out in front of us. I forgot how pretty Darling Harbour could be at night. The buildings are all lit up and there's people everywhere. We could hear music from the harbourside clubs and I suddenly had an image of myself spastic dancing at the Ice Lounge when I turn 18. Right Bonnie? ;)

We were stranded outside IMAX for like, 20 minutes because my aunt and uncle took forever to get there. They finally got here and then we went in. THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE. The movie was totally booked out and most of the people watching it were like 20-somethings so you can imagine how out of place six kids looked. Anyways, they opened the doors and we went in. Our seats were in row C which is like, near the front. God, my neck felt so cramped after 2 and a half hours of staring up at the screen.



It was an awesome movie though. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say "Epic", next up would be "blue". LOL. The visuals were STUNNING. I know the scenery and things were all computerized but still... I wouldn't mind living in Pandora. God, I wouldn't mind being blue if it meant that I could do all the cool things the characters did, such as flying, archery, etc. I think after a while, you kinda forget that being blue is abnormal and you start to see the characters as being normal people.

When the movie finished, Roxie's parents took us to a Chinese restaraunt in Chinatown and ate there. HAHHAHA. I was surprised that it was even open at 12:30am. I think some people were wondering why six, wet kids were even out at night in the city. We went home after that and I nearly fell asleep in the car. What a great start to the holidays :)

I don't know why but some people really seem to hate the holidays. What part of it don't you like? Is it the part where you don't get to do any school work? Is it because you just HATE sleeping in? Or do you just really really really want to go to school? I don't know man...

Anyways, I like 'em. Yesterday morning, before IMAX, I watched Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with Tian and CK. Call me geeky, but it's one of my favourite movies =3 Gollum... so sexy man. But we kinda ruined the movie by butting in with retarded quotes. Like when Sam was holding onto Frodo's hand as he nearly fell off the cliff, we would say, "Hold me Jack!". HAHAHA....ha... ha. Geddit? No? Pffff, fine >_>

After that I went on net and printed out music sheets for LOTR music. That's one of my goals these holidays: learn how to play more songs. I learnt some parts on the violin but it doesn't sound all that great without an ensemble.

Another goal would be to uh, clean my room. It's like a freakin' pigsty in here. Speaking of which, I should probably get started now...

Just came back from CT and I'm so tired. My feet are full on covered with blisters from walking in uncomfortable new shoes and I feel extrememly deprived of sleep. For the last few days, I haven't slept a lot cuz of going out and stuff... Must catch up on some tonight.

Anyways, I bought two dresses and two short sleeve jackets. I'm not sure if I should wear the dresses for the wedding though cuz they're not that formal... Oh wells, I've still got time. Anyways, most of the day was spent at Chinatown but I also went to Kinokuniya and Allan's Music Store - which is this really big two storey music store that has practically everything that a musician needs. At Kinokuniya, I spent quite a while just staring at the people that were down below because it looked so cool when a whole mob of them crossed the street. I also read half of Evernight :)

I also saw a dark-haired, guitar-playing, busking guy outside Paddy's Markets. I wanted to see if his eyes were green but got dragged away by parents. T_T'

I love/hate the city.

I love it because its so .. cityish y'know? There's cools shops and restaurants and all these people who hold briefcases and chat on their phone. Today, I saw this lady in a trench coat, talking on the phone and she had two bodyguards following her. I thought, I so wish I was her. I could get an office overlooking the city and get lots of money everyday $$$. But no, I have no interest in commerce or business or politics, even though those jobs earn lots of money :(

I love how the buildings are so pretty. There's ones that are new and have fancy foyers. Others are oldish and cosy. I think I'm just attracted to places where there's just lots of people...

I hate the city because it reminds me of how insignificant a person is. You can just tell that those people with the briefcases either had to work extremely hard or were born rich. A house in the city probably costs thousands... And then you see those kids in the blazers who go to the exclusive schools in the city. I mean seriously, they could go to Kinokuniya after school if they wanted!! I saw groups of them crowded in front of Easyway, etc, etc. You can't help but hate them even though they did nothing to you -.-'

But whatever, ignore my random ramblings... I'm just pissed that I live in a squashy little townhouse next to a train station.
