Addiction alert?!
No, seriously. I am never going to get any exam revision done because of the one thing I cannot resist: Facebook. Yes, the stupidly addictive social networking site. Joining Groups, commenting on Photos, tagging people in Photos, writing Notes; where do the temptations stop?!
On a completely unrelated note, I got a pack of 12 (9B to H) Derwent graphic sketching pencils.
Deodorant
Okay, so imagine me at Coles: innocently shopping in the Medicine/Cosmetics/Personal Care aisle for hair removal cream for me and Herbal Essences shampoo for my mother. Then, bam! This guy appears out of nowhere and picks a bottle of deodorant from the shelf, proceeding to shove it in my face for me to smell. “Smells nice,” he convinces me. “Yup,” I say. (Well, what else is there to say?)
As if that wasn’t weird enough! After this incident, he follows me to the corner of the dairy aisle and the confectionery aisle, and he picks off a bag full of lollies and shoves this in my face as well. “Yummy!” he exclaims. “Yup,” I say…
If I’m full, I’m full!
It has occurred to me that my parents think I have an eating disorder, because I do not enjoy eating particular Indonesian foods that they cook for me. I also follow quite a different eating pattern to them; for example, I eat lunch at 12pm to 1pm, while my parents can still hold out until 3pm or perhaps even as late as 4pm.
So I eat earlier than them – they don’t find anything wrong with that – but when it’s time for them to eat, they ask me why I’m not eating with them. “I’m full, I reply,” refusing the plate chock full of food they place in my face. “What did you eat that made you full?!” they ask, “A foccacia does not fill you up!” They then proceed to try and force feed me, despite my honest to heaven claims that I am full.
If I tell you I’m full, people, I’m full! I don’t need you hackin’ asking me if I’m hungry every two minutes! Stupid control freaks…
Lord of relationships
I don’t know what Guitar Hero has to do with relationships, but apparently it is supposed to educate us Year Nines in that area of expertise, as well watching Mean Girls, Gossip Girl, and Freaky Friday. Interesting, huh?!

“Of course! Who doesn’t?!”

Devoirs…
Back to school again, and back to the hustle and bustle that are classes, homework, extra-curricular activities and studies… And, as usual, the most homework I get comes from my elective subjects. It is actually a very sad fact that I have been bombarded with Japanese and French homework, first lesson back.
“Since we don’t have a map–”
“Oh, we have a map. *takes out map from giant bag*”
“That’s amazing! This girl delivers!”
