Macarons and Awkward Conversations

(Whole conversation was in Chinese)

Family Friend: Cynthia, you've finished your HSC?

Me: Yep.

Family Friend: Ah, okay. What university do you want to go to?

Me: If I get in, hopefully UTS.

Family Friend: Is that Roxie's one?

Me: Yeah, yeah it is.

Family Friend: Oh. So you don't want to go to a proper university?

Me: Er......

**********

LOL. Um okay. I'm just going to walk away awkwardly now 'cause I don't know how to properly answer that.

So I went to Zumbo's yesterday (the Rozelle store) and bought a lot of macarons.


 
 
Looks like someone ordered a croquembouche...

While we were there, we saw a guy coming out of the shop with one of those macaron towers from Masterchef. We asked him how much it cost and he said $400.

Rich people. I will never understand.

Speaking of rich, trendy people...

They are literally everywhere in the Rozelle/Balmain area, lounging out at the coffee shops at the corners and flocking to the second-hand markets. I can't wait till I have money. Then I can blow all my cash having breakfast quiches at Zumbo's every morning.

By the way. None of youse will ever understand the meaning of "embarrassment" until your dad tries to go out looking like this:

HAHA

Dad: Your sister got her Sydney Girls yearly maths results back today.

Me: Oh really? What'd she get?

Dad: Top one.

Me: WHAT? Really? Sydney Girls' maths must really suck... Oh well, she's been Jimmy-trained.

Nancy: Jimmy's like Hitler. He's raising an army.

Dad: You should call him Adolf Jimmy.

Me: HAHAHA Adolf Jimmy. What was Hitler's perfect race called again? I think it was the Aryans or something. What are we called then - "The Jimmys?"

Nancy: No, we should be called "THE JIMJIMS".

So there you go. From now on, if you go to Focus College, you are officially known as a "JimJim".

P.S. I wasn't taking a jab at Sydney Girls or anything. I'm sure their maths is WAY above average. I'm just trying to point out to everyone that my sister's maths can't be that good :)

Puh-lease

I'm in the middle of doing my PE assignment right now but my brain's turned to mush so I think I'll take a break.

I went downstairs five minutes ago to ask my mum, who works at a high school, if she had any brochures and stuff on teenage pregnancy (cause that's the topic I chose to research). And... she kind of gave me this look like O_O. LOOOL And then I realised what it must have sounded like cause I didn't tell her it was for my school assignment. How embarassing.

But seriously. Me? Teenage pregnancy? Puh-lease, I don't even live on the same planet as everyone else.

Ok, that break was long enough. Back to assignmenting :(

@jessica - ^^ why thank you. I'll dedicate my next cover to you... if you don't mind listening to me massacre another song :D

My Big Feet?

"Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow." - Swedish Proverb


When my piano teacher's not blowing my ear off with her lectures, she's remarking on my shoe size. Take today for example:

Her: Cynthia, what shoe size are you?

Me: Err.. 4 and a half or five. Depends on the shoe...

Her: Really? But, they're huge!

Me: ...


Chehh, if she thinks my feet are huge, how would she react to Nancys'?

Anyway, I was feeling too confused to be offended.

By the way, does anyone else ever wake up feeling depressed? I did today. But that's just cause I had the most awesomest dream. And because of that, I spent most of the day moping at school with Othilia telling me I was weird for prefering my dreams to real life. Seriously? Othilia's telling me I'M weird? Puh-leeeease.

Showers

After coming home from the library and dinner at Canley Heights, I really really wanted to take a shower.

Me: Mum, I'm gonna take a
shower.


Mum: No! Let your dad go first. He's tired
from work.


-1 minute later-

Sister: Mum, can I take a shower?

Mum: Yes of course. Do whatever you
want.

Like, wtf man? T_T

Like, OMG


This morning, Tian and I were talking about the latest chapter of Skip Beat:

Me: OMG Tian, skip beat!

Tian: I KNOW YEH! OMG!

Me: So shocking! OMG!

Tian: OMG! :O

Me: OMG!
