KFC livo rejected me HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Watched star wars ep IV and V - they were pretty good. excited for VI because everyone says that is the best one. Yoda is so much weirder in the old movies than the new ones.

Starting watching Daredevil - good but not as good as Jessica Jones.

Want to watch AHS but have to wait for Tina who has a life.

mixed signals

Went to Coogee for Ivy's birthday party today!! Met up with fd the egg at Central then took half an hour bus to the beach. We thought everyone was going to be there already because we were already late but no. We arrived after applying sunscreen and hiding in the shade to find that Ivy was not even there yet.

There was so much food it was great. We ate some roll things and they were really filling. Ivy's dad was so nice and cooked all the meat for us.

FD, Jusmin, Innie and I went down to the beach pretty early because we were sitting around waiting for meat. We went to the actual beach first and no one wanted to go in because no one brought swimwear except for me. But eventually the 36 degree weather forced them to get into the water. Jks they probably were just soooooooooooo envious of all the fun I was having. The waves were so craxy. If they broke right where you were, you got pummelled to the ground. So you had to go deeper for it to be safer and hurt less??? Idk it was just a giant salty wave pool that was at times slightly life threatening. IT WAS SO FUN.

We also swam in the little "pool" area that isnt a pool but there were no waves so it was all good. The floor was covered in seaweed and it took so long to get used to.

Had to leave early to go to Peak poo poo. left coogee at 3 and arrived at peak at 4:51 HAHAHAAHHA what a trek. I marked some year 12 phys exams and laughed because I would not even know how to answer some of them. But I have marking criteria so it is ok. Also I think marking actually helps you learn so much :O

Update: receptionist lady was not mean to me today. she didn't give me any withering looks and I think she asked me in a normal tone what I was going to do today instead of sighing and just pointing at things. also she offered me a donut at the end of my shift which I said no to.

I think I've made it.

I asked a guy in fourth year uni whether he just finished his hsc lol. hopefully he took it as a compliment.

Failed Scholarship Interview

soooooooooooooooooooooooo yeh

My buddy was super nice and took me on a uni tour. There's so much food and stuff at unsw. Kind of excited for uni because of all the food LOL. BUT SUCH A TREK. she gave me advice about uni timetables and stuff SO HOPEFULLY I WILL SURVIVE. also, I want to move out but have no money and don't want to leave my parents.

Apparently you can get free eye checks on campus from optom students. You're their guinea pigs and they do all these tests on you that you normally wouldn't get at a legit optom. They're supervised by more senior people so its totes safe.

Actual interview was a disaster. I was so flustered the whole time and I did not sound genuine in any of my responses because I was so damn flustered HAHAHAHAHA I was actually sweating in my chair. The committee people were staring into my soul. Also it was kind of a repeat of my KFC job interview because they asked me if I had any questions and I didn't so I asked something so so so so so so so so so so so so stupid the guy was kinda looking at me like???????????

Also I missed a call from a private number yesterday. It could've been a prospective employer. SO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH unemployed and without scholarship rn.

Life is great. Fd is being a poo and telling me to do Melbourne vid but I'm so ceebs.

WATCH JESSICA JONES

Jessica Jones

Watched season 1 of Jessica Jones in 2 days (honestly could've finished it in one if I didn't have peak). Its so good. Jessica Jones is basically a super badass alcoholic who has super strength. She spends the whole season trying to take down David Tennant who can tell anyone to do anything. I love it. Its pretty refreshing compared to the campy cw/abc superhero shows. There are so many gruesome deaths (INVOLVING BLENDERS AND WINE GLASSES). WATCH IT. The lawyer in it sucks tho I kept thinking if Annalise was in this show no one would have legal problems.

Also caught up with How To Get Away With Murder and TSUNEICKSKSK EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED. The cliffhangers are so good like I could not stop watching. Please come out faster. Also can everyone stop lying????

I missed a call from a private number today. They never called back. What if it was a potential employee. Fml.

Shitting myself about interview tmr hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

Jan's Bday

I took no photos so just going to recap.

We went to Holy Basil and ate shitloads of food. It was all gr8. Then we had some fried ice cream for dessert miam miam. We helped carry Jan's exercise equipment around the city lol. The 2kg dumbells were so friggen heavy omg.

Then we watched Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2 and it was pretty good. I liked it. Idk. The cinema was so cold tho I couldn't concentrate on the movie because it was that cold. It was pretty true to the book and yah it was just pretty good.

I hate it when old asian people talk about you when you are standing RIGHT THERE. The old peeps were like "wow shes so bulky shes got such big bones wowwwwwwwwwwwwww. She takes after her auntie. mhmmmm yehhh i see it."

Still practically unemployed. Found out that my lil cousins go Peak for primary tutoring. Compulsively refreshing my email hoping that someone will hire me.

I just applied to 3 dominos locations, top juice, a random receptionist job and tried to advertise tutoring to my noisy 8-12 year old cousins.

Totally going to get hired. Watch me.

Short Term 12

Does anyone else say to themselves, "wow I'm such an attention seeker," then keep attention seeking? Because that is me.

SHORT TERM 12 IS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Its one of those movies that makes u feel sad then happy then sad again then happy. Also I need to remember that I do not have legitimate struggles. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND SERIOUSLY WATCH IT.

FD IS CHOOSING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL OVER ME OMG

WE ARE PLAYING TETRIS NOW WTF IS THIS ARE WE WASTING OUR HOLIDAYS AWAY LOL

Still editing melbourne vid its taking 5eva. #stopcomplaining. dIS iZ my HECTIC tIMeLINe. #nobodycares.

still partly unemployed

Got an interview for a scholarship but going to fail because I feel the nerves and awkwardness coming along already. After all do I really have a passion for engineering??? The interviewers will know better than me.

I watched Particle Fever yesterday and would highly recommend for everyone - not just people who like physics. I kinda dislike physics and I liked it. Its a documentary about the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva and how thousands of scientists from around the world somehow collaborated to build the "largest single machine in the world". The purpose of the machine was to bash particles together to observe whether the Higgs Boson existed or not. It kinda gets emotional at the end which is so weird because people are crying over physics but yeh some of them have dedicated 30+ years of their life to theories which may or may not be true. One of the physicists reminded me of Ms Mccrossin.

Got back to work on Melbourne video because I finally googled how to make my video editor stop lagging -.-

Watched Saving Private Ryan and tbh it was kinda boring...I liked the story and everything but it was really slow paced. Maybe that's just me.

compiling year 12 videos

Justin Bieber's Purpose is so good. I was too ceebs to do anything today so made a video. Prepare for shaky camera work, vertical filming and lots of candid laughing.

I talk lots of shit. Like "I need to get a job omg" but not being bothered to get out and find one.

I had the most fucked up dream. It was Halloween and everyone I had ever known were seated in a hall. Jason from GHPS let me inside the hall. They were all dressed up with face paint and errything. Then we started to play this game where you had to kill everyone you saw. Feng and I were initially working together and we looked around to find weapons but all we could find were metallic chopsticks so we grabbed them anyway. Then we faced off with Fip, Tammy and Lulu and we killed them by stabbing them with the chopsticks. I remember there was lots of resistance in their flesh. Now I think about it was kinda like chicken textured. After that Feng disappeared and I had somehow acquired a knife. I was so pro everyone tried to chop me but I was so fast and killed all my opponents. I distinctly remember rushing into one of the science rooms and Ms Mahmic was laughing at all of us trying to kill each other. My dream ended with me about to stab a little kid in the eyeball after I had killed all his friends. I remember I had some humanity though because I was about to decapitate one but I feared he would have a difficult recovery so I just sliced his stomach.

What my dream is telling me:

• I am very violent and want to kill everyone I know
• Feng will always be my accomplice
• I have hesitations about decapitating children
• I have a preference for metallic chopsticks (or Korean food you can take this both ways)
• Jason and Ms Mahmic have both had a great impact on my life??????
• I am destined to reside in science labs 
• Everyone in my life is fake / hiding behind a mask

I was so happy for 1 sec and then I was like wait I'm not supposed to be this happy, Then I remembered I haven't found another job and now I am sad again. I feel like Chuck in that ep where he was unemployed and just sat at home eating cheeseballs all day.

I'd die for Riley

Finally watched Inside Out and it was so funny.

Finally wrote a resume. Need to find another job because Peak doesn't schedule me that much. I think the receptionist lady at Peak hates me. I was thinking of Kmart except none are near me by train except for Bankstown...

Also can't make friends.

Why is life so struggle. Give me some monies so I don't have to work.

It dawned on me today that I have no connections.

I've been peeling the scab on my forehead from paintball.

Money $truggles

I am running out of money to fuel my post-hsc adventures.

Also Peak only pays at the end of the month so I am running on very limited money until then :( I also don't want to ask my dad for money since I have a job now. Sooooooooo lol. And I can't actually work everyday it just depends on how many people there are on one day.

I skipped Spectre yesterday. So much to do but no money to do it with. Went shopping with sister today but didn't buy anything and she shouted me dinner so yay.

Was going to edit a video together for Melbourne Casey Neistat style but gave up because my computer is too laggy. Maybe after I get a new laptop I will try again. Darren Taing's SBHS video was sooooooooo Casey Neistat complete with white font. Or maybe I've just been watching too many of his videos and everything with a timelapse looks like his stuff.

If you don't watch his videos you should start because they are really cool. He uses all these funky filming and editing techniques when he makes "movies" or vlogs. And he rides boosted boards which is next level cool. I want one so bad :(

This is so weird but I feel like youtubers are so much more likeable when they have families. Otherwise their vlogs are so boring. Post-hsc has made me crazy I am watching 20 minute vlogs of Roman Atwood playing with his little kids or driving to random stores to find fans.

Going to finally finish signing off tomorrow (travelling using school pass lol) and then maybe picnic later on.

Made this gif for Melbourne post but just going to post it now LOL.

Going to play a game of lol because thats how much of a life I have now

Formal + GHPS Reunion @ Paintball

Formal was on Monday night.

Kylie, Fiona, Feng and I went to a place in Cabra to get our hair and makeup done. The woman did it so quickly and it was ok. Except we all kinda looked the same at the end HAHAHAHA Feng kept complaining she looked so Chinese whilst Kylie was like omg I'm so Korean. But they all looked like princesses.

 WHEN YOUR MUM TELLS U TO POSE FOR PHOTOS. The hand would usually be a rude finger but you can't exactly flip off your parents.

 Father was kinda nice and didn't complain that much about driving us to formal

 Squad on point except for Fd whose eyes are on slit. 

 Pres at the Star

 MELBOURNE CREW. Feng pls put ur foot away/

Nancy Z

The actual formal was way better than yr10. The music was gr8 and my heels weren't that uncomfortable. Innie got stabbed in the foot by a needle :( The food was ok ~~~

 Shumo

inatay

the cooler table

Feng and I won class clowns but we haven't even had a class together since year 10. Waiting for the official photographer to post pics before I can post them here.

We went for a late night maccas run to darling harbour maccas. It was such a trek and when we got there it was fucking closed. Sign said it closed at 1am and we got there at 1:17am. sad lyf.

We went back to the hotel but super lame over 18s wouldn't buy us alcohol whilst everyone else was partying and getting drunk we were just chilling on our phones.

Me finding out I couldn't get drunk.

Some people were playing cards against humanity but I've played it too many times so its not really fun anymore. Melbourne crew slept in the living room "bcus we were used to the slum conditions". Joyce made a makeshift bed from chairs and it was so strange. She insisted it was comfortable tho. Meanwhile FD and I had a shitty sleep bcus the only blankets we had were towels so our legs were so cold throughout the entire night.

I couldn't sleep because I drank tea so I ended up watching Youtube videos until 4am. Sometime in the night I walked out the hotel room to look down the hallway then the door closed behind me and I was locked out. I had to call Lulu to open it HAHAHA oops.

The next day (Tuesday) everyone except for innie got up at 8ish. I was so tired. We left to get some Maccas for brek + starbucks then  decided to go to Brighton Beach. It was really nice beach weather. We waded around in the shallow water because no one had clothes to change into. Then we had a bitch session.

Feng taking photos of me fixing my bra???

Sharon da model

Burnt like bacon

finding hermit crabs

At this point I still had not showered. Had remnants of formal makeup and hairspray in my hair. After the beach I had sand up my nostrils and my ears. I was so nasty.

Then I went to Die Hard Paintball in Turrella for the Georges Hall reunion lmao. I only had a strapless bra so I told Amy to bring me one. This is what she brought. I was wearing a pretty thin white shirt as well far out.

I was so excited to play paintball. I had always wanted to do it because it sounded so fun. NEK MINNIT.

The first time I got shot I was like FUCK. I held my thigh and hobbled back to my respawn point swearing the whole way back. It was so painful. Then I got shot 3 more times in the same fucking round because I was so noob. The one that hurt the most was the one on my hairline/forehead. When the person shot me my head recoiled and I thought I was going to get a concussion. After the first round I was more careful because I never wanted to be shot ever again. So I mostly stayed in the same spot, hid and shot occasionally. 

Madison was so good at tactics and stuff I think our team won almost every single game. Even though I didn't help. 

Our instructor was so crude. He was telling the boys to buy crotch protection because the last time he was shot there his penis was bruised for 3 weeks and he couldn't cum. He was also so crazy like a totalitarian dictator. Clintoris broke a rule by taking his mask off on the field so the instructor shot him in the same butt cheek 5 times. Then Andrew did the same thing except he was just a few metres out from the safe zone. The instructor made us each shoot him once in the back/butt which was a total of 10 times. Poor child. His bruises kinda look like nipples. 

Amy was like "OMG IT WAS SO FUN" and I was like "NEVER  DOING THAT EVER AGAIN".

Anto got shot in the eyebrow and it looked so horrifying. He has his formal today HAHAHAHA. We played mafia afterwards and it took us about half an hour to even get started. It was so fail everyone kept getting the roles mixed up. 

No one has changed.

The year 6s of 5/6L minus a couple of people. Eric came but he left early. 

RIP if you read this post using data. I have wasted so much money over the past few weeks its time to stop going out and work.

First Day Working at PEAK

Went back to school to return half of my books and get my stuff signed. It was such a struggle omg had to run around everywhere and get angry teachers (Ms Surbey) to sign off. Also found the few hundred dollars we raised from Imagizine and finally gave it into the office. We donated the last few copies to the library. I cleaned out my locker and now the only thing left in it is Jan's sport shoes which I borrowed last term lol.

Then trekked to Livo to find KK stuff and I didn't even find everything they wanted so so so so struggle have to go look in Melbourne.

Anyway getting to the real point of this post:

FIRST DAY WORKING AT PEAK!!!

Went to Peak at 4:30 wearing some super casual clothes. I had no idea what to expect. I was ushered into room 2 by some super friendly uni students where I met other uni students + people who just finished HSC. They were mostly Hurlstoners and Seftoners and I didn't know anyone so yippee time for socially struggled Serena to pop out. Jk it wasn't too bad. Everyone was so friendly. The older ones showed us around and taught us how to collect the homework booklets and what order to mark them in etc. 

We have to write our name on a post it note on whatever we mark so if we make lots of mistakes we are fucked LOL. 

But the atmosphere is so chill. We literally sit there marking and talking. And we get unlimited lollies and chips while we do it. Mel was so nice and she was complaining about how girls are so much bitchier than guys from her experiences as a school teacher.

We can come in any day the centre is open we don't even need to let them know we are coming in HAHAHAH. There is no roster or anything just come whenever you feel like it. And you can stay for as long as you like. If you can only come in for 1 hr that is all goods. I will probably do that actually and the good thing is its mostly open at around 4-8:30 so I can go out in the day and then come back at night to work. 

Mel told us if you want to be chill, don't come in on Tues-Thurs because that is when the big Sir is there and he grills you about your marks and ranks. No thanks. 

Also I was complaining to some of the markers that I was bad at English. They asked me what school I was from and I said Sydney Girls and then they were just like "you're probably not even bad at English. You're going to band 6 right?" I was so surprised that Sydney Girls was known for being good at English lol. 

Oh and I don't really know why I was hired because I feel like I ain't even qualified. This guy was taking marks off people for saying that Conservation of Momentum was "momentum is conserved in collisions" because he argued that it wasn't only conserved in collisions, it's just a general thing. I was just eavesdropping into the convo then discretely changed what I previously marked because I totally thought the definition had collisions in it. Hopefully I don't get fired because it is a really good job. 

Every time I came back from KFC I felt like I took a bath in oil and my feet always ached. And it was so inflexible. 

Some of the markers also applied for teaching and they will start interviewing for that in March. I would totally do it but I'm very deficient in confidence and a terrible public speaker. Also I would probably teach them the wrong thing.

On the bright side I did not do anything deathly embarrassing today. 

Need to wake up at 4:30am tmr for Melbourne goodbye world I am going to be dead tmr. Worse than badminton mornings.

formal dress

Today I went to parra to buy my formal dress. I bumped into Lulu, Yvette and Tracy Luc and we were all with our mothers tryna buy formal dress 1 week before the actual thing. I bought one that I 90% like but fucking ceebs to find one that I 100% like. It was $129 so idk w/e.

Also sad lyf Lulu and I were discussing dress lengths then my mum and her mum started being like "OOOOH YOUNG PEOPLE ALWAYS TRYNA GO FOR THE LONG DRESSES BLAH BLAH LOOK SO OLD". Why are all asian parents the same. ITS A FORMAL DO U UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS.

I also started playing LoL again. JUDGE ME. I'm still as shitty as I was when I played in Year 10.

YAYYYYY GOING MELBOURNE SOON. GONNA BE SO FUN.

Also applied to Peak as a marker yesterday and got a text from Mel telling me to come in tomorrow. Idk why but my brain did a fart and thought the text meant today so I showed up but all the Peak shutters were closed LOL.

Going to go back to school tmr to return some of my books...

Zombie Walk 2015

Finally got to fulfil my lifelong dream as dressing up as a zombie and being a Walking dead extra. Ok maybe I was not a Walking Dead extra but still. I dressed up as a zombie and walked with many other zombies so that is almost the same thing.

Me as a zombie:

Look at that evil smile

Carrie looked so terrifying because of the amount of blood on her face

It was so embarrassing to roam around the streets of Hurstville looking like this. People kept staring and pointing. I felt like a circus freak. 

 When we got to Hyde park we were with our kindred zombies and suddenly we did not feel left out anymore.

We saw a few zombie doctors!!

And this thing that was very terrifying. We had no idea what it was tho. 

Oh I think that I've found myself a zombie cheerleader.

These people were so cool. Zombie princesses complete with Elsa and Anna. 

 Before:

After:

Tbh I look more like a derp in the second one. 

Then we went to eat dinner at Gia Hoi and I think the Canley one is better because the soup at the city one tasted like water. It was so dilute and flavourless.

 Then we bought matching Auf Wiedersehen sweaters from cotton on. We were judged for those too.

"So long, farewell auf wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you."

I'm so tired fo reals goodnight. I still have not found a formal dress. Although I haven't really been looking :/

Also I just applied to Peak as a marker. For the 200 word sections I wrote 60, Such effort.
