Now I can rest assured, that I will not be pressured in a greater deal with rules of conduct and a Year 12 life-long service to the school's community in a public way.
Goodnight :)
*continues to type out Biology notes*
It's 7.20pm and I know it's over.
More than a week ago, I submitted my application form to nominate myself as prefect. It didn't take me much time to think about whether I was doing the right thing, and whether applying really was what I wanted. I decided at the very last minute, that if I didn't nominate myself, I'd never know if I would be elected as prefect. I'd regret it for the rest of what's left of my school years (year and a few months, to be more exact) if I didn't put it in. I'd be constantly wondering, "What happened if I did put my form in, and I did get prefectship?" All those what ifs would haunt me for a very long time. So I did - I handed the form in. On time. At the right place. Filled the spaces up. The end. Now that wasn't too difficult.
Yesterday, we voted. My name stood out amongst the 50+ nominations on the election form. Of course, I nominated myself. Every vote counts, does it not? I voted for my two girls from my House, and then 8 others from elsewhere. And then, it was all over. I wondered off to class, absentmindedly while everyone was talking about who voted for who.
Today, the verdict. Between 6-8pm tonight, Mrs Stone, our headmistress will call every girl who was elected as prefect. Am I worrying? Um, a bit. I mean, who wouldn't be? I'm more anxious to know. However, I won't start to break down crying if I don't get elected.
'Sides, even if I don't get elected, I will continue to be the good person that I am at school and in the boarding house. Why should it?
Cheersssss.
(Maybe I should stop using "Cheers". It's sounds so... cheesy when I end an entry such as this. Don't you think so?)
(But, I've been using "Cheers" as my endnote for years! ... Ahh, confused.)

About bloody time I got onto Blogger!!!
I really believed that Blogger had screwed up bigtime and lost blog information, including mine. But no. I'm smarter than that. I'm back.
Exams are in two weeks and I really want to nail them.
(Ok, maybe just get the nail in and I'll be happy.)
i shouldn't be here i should be studying so off i go goodbye.
Cheers.
PS. Any Blogger issues? It'd help if you clicked here!

I always look forward to the long weekend. My chance to get out of the boarding house for an extended weekend. My chance to catch up on some good sleep. My chance to drink softdrinks and dine at different restaurants, experiencing different or old favourite tastes. My chance to get out of the study atmosphere.
I spent the day with my Year 12 friend also from the boarding house, Mint in the city. I joined her and her health advisor in a few games of badminton, and some strange health milkshake. Mint and I walked around the city for about an hour after that. This is what my social life should be like. x)
Mum's friend from Canberra arrived in Sydney today and will be staying a night with us. They both went out for dinner, after picking me up from the city. "And what about my dinner?" I asked them. Mum pulled out some uncooked lamb chops from last night and the scanpan grill thing. "You can cook," mum replied. Right, 15 minutes to heat up the grill/pan-thing, 30 minutes for lamb to defreeze off the stove, 6 minutes on both sides of the lamb chop... Mum suggested I cook some pasta too, and pulled out some pasta and sauce. Ok let's see, boil water and put in pasta, check pasta if cooked by tasting, put sauce in pot and heat, add some water, stir every once in a while to prevent burning, check sauce is cooked/well-heated by tasting...
My very first home cooked meal. Boy, am I proud of myself! [I'd have some pictures here, but my mum's laptop doesn't have Bluetooth or Infrared. Guh!]
I'm off to do the dishes now. After that, I'll have a shower and hop into my peejays, pop in a DVD and snuggle up on the couch with a hot chocolate. Quiet weekends, I suppose, can be quite therapeutical :)
Have a good weekend everyone.
Cheers.

I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updates at Raeville. I've been much too busy to spare time for a good entry about my day, week and I just haven't found any time to finish writing the Italy series.
Boarders weekend has finally arrived. After school tomorrow mum is picking me up (oh by the way, mum's down in Sydney for a few weeks! Hurray!) to home. I'm in much need for a break.
I went to watch the school production of The Wizard of Oz, and I was absolutely amazed at how well the drama students have presented their rendition of Oz. The play took the audience all around the school grounds, which was an excellent idea. It sure beats sitting in a crammed up theatre for 3 hours, if you ask me.
Our sister school from Osaka came down to Sydney last week too, if I haven't mentioned about them yet. Pictures posted up on my flickr here.
Anyhow, I'm off -
off to see the wizard!
The wonderful wizard of Oz!
No. Off to start my maths homework. Bah.
Cheers.

Alamak.
I really miss my kawan-kawan* :(((
(from left) Su, Ivan Chaiiii, me, Ri and Dhivdhiv
Ivan Chai, the big guy and I were both in the same batch of new students of AISM in 2002, along with his cousin who also started at AISM in the same year. We've known Dhivdhiv since forever, our previous neighbour when we had our house who used to go cycling around the neighbourhood with Ri when we were younger.
Su-Yi and I. I've known Su for almost 8 years and counting. I met her in Year/Std 4 at SKBD, when Pokemon was the in-thing. I remember selling Su a very very rare First Edition *holographic* DRAGONITE card for one ringgit. I was totally ripped off, but after that we really hit it off as great friends X)
This wasn't taken during the last break, but I just had to say something about Cassey Koid, aka Muffz ;). This little miss is all the way in Lahore studying her ass off, and I haven't seen her since last year. An old schoolmate from AISM, I remember she never stopped talking. She still doesn't :) 
This too, wasn't taken during the winter break. I've known Shaz for too long now. I've known her all my life, although I had hated her with great passion during my primary years, I learnt to really appreciate her for who she was during AISM days. We went through SKBD and AISM together, and now she studies in Singapore. We have HALO parties and love to slaughter :)Other people...
Nurie, whom I've known since Year 8 at AISM, now resides in Canberra. We'd have the most random conversations back in AISM, about tables, spoons and forks. Those were fun days :))
Chris, who never fails to annoy me, I've known since the day I started at AISM. I think he might've come in a little later, but nevertheless, a priceless friend till today. :)
*sigh*
I miss them all so much :((
Cheers :]
*kawan-kawan = friends.
PS. If I haven't mentioned you, I'm so sorry!
