Frozen Poop

My playlist's got even more songs now cuz I just updated it with more Demi Lovato songs ^^ I can't seem to stop listening to her songs, they're so addictive.

I'll also take to chance to say that I feel very high and happy all of a sudden. Tomorrow's Friday and in english and science, I'll be watching videos. There's violin tomorrow and HA is gonna be a bludge (like always). The only bad thing is PE :( I don't want to run around in the cold...

Anita's blog had something about poop from the plane. I think I watched something about this lady's house being destroyed by poop. Apparently a plane was flying past and it dropped a poop. The poop became frozen, like a meteorite, as it dropped down to earth and when it hit the lady's house, it was hard enough to put a hole through her roof. Interesting, right?

Ok, I'm sorry, I don't know why I told you that.

The Hunger Games


Yesterday, I finished reading a really really REALLY good book called the Hunger Games (by Suzanne Collins). It was seriously one of the coolest books I've read in ages - like, since City of Bones and even Twilight. It has romance, action, adventure and every other cool thing you can think of. Like all the other good stuff that I've read or watched before, I'm gonna blog about it :) Don't worry, I won't give out any spoilers.

The Hunger Games is about a girl called Katniss Everdeen who lives in a place in North America called the Capitol. The Capitol is surrounded by 12 districts, and each district specialises in something (e.g agriculture, mining, luxury items, etc.).

Each year, one boy and one girl is picked from each district to participate in "the Hunger Games". The 24 contestants are put into a giant arena (or landscape) to fight to the death and only one winner is allowed. This is the Capitol's way of showing that they have power over the 12 districts.

Katniss and a boy called Peeta are this year's tributes from district 12. They're brought to the Capitol to be presented to the public and also to train for the Hunger Games. To Katniss, survival is second nature, she grew up hunting to feed her family everyday but the Games are far more dangerous than anything she's ever done and Katniss finds herself in the most terrifying situation of her life. To win she must weigh survival against humanity, life against love.


Well, that's my review which was a bit of the blurb + things that I could remember from the top of my head. Again, it doesn't really do the book justice but point is, its a really really good, engrossing, brilliant book which I think EVERYONE should read :)

Dip Dip Dog Shit

I just got back from a really stressful piano lesson. Not only did I forget most of what I learnt 4 weeks ago but I spent most of the lesson hoping she wouldn't notice that I had dog shit on the bottom of my shoe T_T.

Damn her stupid great dane and its stupid giant poops on the stupid sidewalk. As I walked up the steps to her door I kept scraping my shoe on the steps but I think that made it worse. I also spent 2 minutes cleaning my shoe on her door mat before I knocked on the door. I guess I was lucky though. I'm pretty sure she would have noticed if I'd used the pedals... hehe.

Anyway, my mum made me give my piano teacher a keyring. It was seriously ugly and chunky but my teacher was nice enough to pretend she liked it. She told me she'd never been to America and had no interest going there either but she had been to Europe a few times. Since her childhood was spent in Malta, her father used to bring her whole family of 5 to Italy by boat and they would usually spend 6 weeks there.

See? You do learn something new everyday.

Ooooh, I also found out that Selena Gomez has a youtube account and she's got lots of videos on it as well. Yay! Now I can continue stalking my favourite disney stars without having to go to America. Disney Channel, I still miss you :(

I should really get back to work now. I've gotta do the gayass geo hw and then 1 chapter review & exercise before I'm caught up. Shhhh.. don't tell Juliana I haven't been doing my maths hw =3

P.S. if you're bothered (which I'm sure you're not), look up dueling banjos on youtube. Its so freaky- and I'm not just talking about the banjo playing.

New Playlist

I finally finally FINALLY changed the songs on my playlist =D About time, right?

My taste in music is completely random (& strange) but basically I like stuff that sounds nice. You don't normally see me listening to stuff that doesn't sound good - unless its from a drama or movie that I really really like.

Anyway, on this playlist I've got a lot of Taylor Swift, reason being: country music goes with my template. LOL. I've also got stuff that normal people don't listen to like Casker and "Slow Me Down". These songs will probably take a while to get used to... You can also see how much Disney channel has brainwashed me from the songs by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. Fair Disney channel! O how I misseth thee.

& I thought I wouldn't be able to resist putting POTO songs on but I did resist. Probably cuz no one would ever go on my blog again if I did :(
Oh wells, maybe next time.

Home Sweet Home

Or in my case - Home Sour Home. lolz.

Wow, I still can't believe that I'm back in Australia. Nothing seems to have changed since I've left. Well, except for that 60 x 30 cm wide spider web hanging in the corner of my room. Jesus, someone bring a broom please ><'

Let me backtrack. 12pm Los Angeles time yesterday, I was boarding the plane to Sydney. You know how I said the flight to LA was the worst flight ever? Well this one was probably the BEST flight ever cuz it was the new QANTAS airbus. Everything was like, fully high tech and pretty :) The bad part was, I sat next to this Mexican dude who kept coughing and sneezing in my face every minute.

LOL I'm joking, I'm joking. Seriousl, you can take off those latex gloves and mask that you've just put on...

Again, I got my own TV and I watched a few movies during the flight. I watched Memoirs of a Geisha (which was really good btw) and then some of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Atonement". I think I fell asleep after that and when I woke up, there was only 3 hours left of the flight. I spent 2 hours of that time watching Peter Pan :L That boy that plays Peter Pan is so cuuute.. I just want to give him a thimble XD

Tian's dad was at the airport to pick us up after we went through the luggage check. It was funny cuz the bag-checking dude kept looking at our dodgy asian products. He was like, "What is this?" and "Where did you get it?" the whole time. Funny shit man XD. Guess how many luggage bags we had? There were SEVEN big luggage bags + FIVE carry-on bags. My dad took a photo of all our luggage - I might upload that later.

It was nice to see familiar roads and streets again. The streets looked really tiny and squashy compared to LA's freeways. I never noticed that before. Oh, and it was nice to see the driver sitting on the right side of the car again.

Yeh, I got home at 8:35am and right now, its 10:30am. I missed my house, well, to be more specific, I missed the smell of my house :) There's a big gathering of adults and neighbours downstairs in my garage so I don't really want to go down there. & did I mention the SEVEN bags of luggage + FIVE carry on bags that's crowding my living room? Ewww one thing I hate more than packing is unpacking.

It's so strange. All that happened in America now feels like a very vivid dream. Now that I'm sitting in my room, I'm wondering: Did I really go to New York and stand on the top floor of the Empire State Building? Did I really go to Disneyland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Hollywood AND Manhattan? It sure doesn't feel like it.... Was I dreaming?

Oh yeh, I nearly lost all my photos of America. My dad's laptop crashed at the airport and it wouldn't turn on during the whole flight. He tried taking the hard disk out and putting it in my sister's laptop but it still wouldn't work. Lucky, he fixed it when we got home though. Phew.

Anyway, to round it all up, America was fun. There were so many cool things such as 1000 types of fast food restaurants, fire hydrants, freeways and pretty streets. It was an escape from the real world and was great while it lasted but now, its time to put it all behind. I have to go to school on Monday :( -sigh- isn't that depressing?

Now on to a different topic. While we were in America, something strange happened in my aunt's flat. A man died in one of the rooms and his body was discovered a few days later. The man's neighbours noticed that he wasn't collecting his mail and they called the police who broke into his flat. Isn't that scary?...

Also, I finally got my report and Mr E's comment made me laugh. He wrote, "It is very pleasing to see the quality grade you gained in your elective classes, keep up the enthusiasm."

1. To put it bluntly, music was the worst result out of my entire report.
2. High achievers? Well, no one gets a mark or ranking for that subject.
3. Chyeah, like you totally see me jumping up and down with enthusiasm whenever Ms. H talks in music...

Mr E, you are soooo attentive aren't you? Out of curiosity, did anyone else get this comment cuz I have a feeling he might've just copied and pasted.

Another issue, who is this "Edward" I keep hearing about in people's blogs? >_> Is he a vampire? LOLs. Meh, I don't care anyway, I have a new love. His name is Peter Pan and he wears tights covered in leaves. Sexyyy ;)

Love Cynthia aka Beetroot LOL

Universal Studios - Kind Of...

Today I went to Universal Studios. It was alright but not even close to how fun Disneyland was. Ermm I took photos for the first hour or so and then I kind of thought "what the hell. I'm here to have fun not take photos" LOL. So if you want to see them, tell me in a comment and I'll post my videos and photos. Otherwise, I'll just sit back and be lazy :)

Most people are at school right now so there's no one to talk to. Maybe I'll wait for a few hours until people come back from school. In the meantime, I'll just sit here and meditate. HUMMMM...
Nah I'm joking, I'll just sit here, watch disney channel and maybe read the two books I bought from Borders recently: Wings by Aprilynne Pike and Hunger Games by someone-who-I-forgot-the-name-of.

Wings is an interesting book about faeries ^^ Except these faeries are different from traditional faeries because they are actually plant people-ish. Laurel finds that she's got a pair of giant flowers that look like wings growing out of her back and then all this stuff happens like her falling in love with two guys. Its not like traditional faeries - similar to how twilight doesn't have "traditional" vampires.Ooooh yeh, even more interesting is how faeries reproduce- its got something to do with the males getting pollen on their hands and then putting it into a female's "flower-wings". LOL. yes, I know I buy strange books....

*sigh* I'm going back to Australia in two days. Noooo, I don't wanna return to the real world where there's projects, school and no more disney channel :( How am I going to survive without being able to watch any more Hannah Montana, The Suite Life and Wizards of Waverly Place 24/7? What am I going to do if I can't record squirrels climbing up trees anymore? How will I spend my time if I don't have any more fire hydrants to photograph? HUH?! TELL ME!
O' the horror of it all.

But I guess its all worth it if I get to see everyone again :)

P.S. Juliana, you've got two more days to watch POTO, otherwise I'll... err... I'll... POKE YOU. DUN DUN DUN DUNNNN!

The Strangest Bus Ride Ever

For once, I'm not feeling rushed to blog. I'm at a random person's house and all there is to do is use the laptop anyway + wait for people to go on msn - stupid time difference.

So, a few days ago, I watched Harry Potter at a cinema. It wasn't all that different from Australia except for them calling the counter a "box office" instead of ticket-buying-place. The movie was alright, not much action. I felt so sad and nearly cried when Hermione was feeling sad about Ron. Stupid Ron & Lavender :( But when Dumbledore died, I didn't really care. I mean, he was old anyways.

Hmm, I don't think I'm going anywhere else in America. Tomorrow, we're visiting mum's friends and the day after that, Universal Studios. I'm getting on the plane on Wednesday and because of the time difference, I'm arriving on Friday. Uggh I don't wanna go back to school. I'll miss the feeling of having no stress and I'll also miss Disney Channel :'(

Damn Ms S. is also gonna start chasing me again about typequick. bleh. & I'm also gonna get my crappy maths tutor results. double BLEH. & did I mention catching up on work? T_T I just want to stay near Disneyland. Maybe i can get a job there, like selling cotton candy or churros or something? LOL.

Did you know that people get fined in America if their lawn is too green? You also get fined if you don't cross the street at a pedestrian crossing.

On the way back from the San Francisco tour, a fight nearly happened on the coach. The tour guide was collecting tips from everyone (cuz you need to pay tips in America) and when he got to a particular man, they started arguing. Here's how the convo went:

Guide: Tips please.

Man: Can I pay when we get off?

Guide: What do you mean?

Man: Well, I just want to pay when we get off.

*
just so you know, the tour guide and this particular man had had a
previous argument before and they already sort of hated each other*


Guide: *points finger at the other man's face* NOW YOU LISTEN TO
ME-

Man: HOW DARE YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME! DON'T POINT AT ME!

Guide: *puts his finger even closer to the man's face* YOU
RUDE-

Man: NO, YOU DIDN'T LET ME EXPLAIN! GET YOUR FINGER AWAY! *
swipes the
man's finger away*


Guide: You, You. are. in. big. trouble. Bastard!

Man: PUCK YOU! (yes, the "p" is intentional)

*
the tour guide continues down the aisle collecting tips and then he
returns to the front of the coach. Ten minutes later, he goes back down to the
man and says
:*

Guide: At the next stop, you will grab your luggage and get off this bus. I
rang the police and they will come pick you up. I told them that you are a
threat to the people here. They are coming to take you away.

Man: NO! NO! please no! You didn't let me explain!

* the guide ignores him and walks away*


Haha, that was the most interesting bus ride ever.

Anyways, I'm getting bored so I'll just go off now... Hope everyone's enjoying the rest of their holidays and yeh, cyas :)
