Losing my virginity

I lost my virginity last friday. It was really exciting but also painful at the same time. It was exciting because it was the first time I bought a kpop album but it was painful because it emptied my wallet.

Hehee. Yes, I meant my 'kpop album virginity' not the one that you are thinking about. There are still some years to come before that one is lost, hopefully. After school my kpop-lover friend Sheree and I went to the kpop store because she wanted to get Shinee's new album 'Sherlock'. And i just tagged along because i like the kpop store. There are posters everywhere of all my favourite bands and I love looking through all the albums and stuff. It's just awesome :)

Sheree was the one who introduced me to kpop. To be honest, at first I really did not like it. Everyone looked the same and I found the music strange. But then I got into it through watching reality shows. The first one I watched was Super Junior's Full House. I really liked Hankyung because he was Chinese (like me) and so I became obsessed and watched everything to do with him. So everything Super Junior and Super Junior M.

So I really liked SJ for a while. After that the obsession moved on to
DBSK - esp. Jaejoong who left :'(
UKISS - esp. Kibum who also left :( I keep liking people who have already left the group
SHINee - esp. Jonghyun - awesome singing skills
MBLAQ - esp. Joon - hot abs much :)
JYJ - really like it because Jaejoong's there :)
Infinite - esp. Woohyun
BIG BANG - esp. T.O.P - a very funny person

Some of my favourite boys. From left - Hangeng, Lee Joon & Jaejoong

Shere bought me my first ever Kpop album - Super Junior M's Super Girl. At that time I really liked Super Girl because of Hankyung so she got me it for Christmas :) It was such a nice surprise because i didn't know she was my Kriss Kringle and i didn't know she was gonna get it.

For my birthday this year she also got me another album - JYJ'S In Heaven. I think I like getting albums as gifts rather than buying them. Because they are actually do add up if you buy a few since normal ones usually cost around $15-$40.

Late birthday present. Very worth the wait!!

On Friday I bought Big Bang's new album Alive. It was kind of an impulse purchase because usually I would watch unboxing videos on Youtube and compare all the albums on my wishlist in terms of price and appearance before i buy them. But I had no idea what Alive looked like on the inside. But since I really love all the songs and also think the metal case the album comes in looks cool, I just bought it. I had to buy the poster as well because it was only $4 more, and i'm a cheapo like that :)

Had to buy the Big Bang version because TOP'S one sold out :( oh well still love it :)

I lost my 'virginity' to these bad boys. Pretty cool? :)

Food adventure

Yesterday was language festival. The day for me was very simple and involved only four steps.

1) Look for food
2) Look at food
3) Eat
4) Repeat

I am indeed a eataholic. Seriously i couldn't even believe how much i ate. Here's my food adventure for the day.


Korean marinated beef and rice Got a half serve and it was delicious!!!

2 quiches Should have tried the meat one too :(

Chocolate puff yumm

3 Vietnamese skewers. Was being cheapo and decided to buy 3 because it was cheaper for each


A can. It wasn't coke. But i can't remember what it was :s

Chicken and mushroom pizza Shared one piece with my friend on the way back home because believe it or not I was still hungry

Korean stew lunchbox. Really chilly!! Good thing i shared with a friend. The rice cakes were nice~

The first time I tried an olive. The taste was unbelievable, and I don't mean that in a good way

Easyway The most disgusting thing i've ever tasted. i don't know if it's just the flavour or because it wasn't cold anymore. The tea was bitter and my friend and i had to have a competition in order to finish it together.

Happy Hunger Games

HELLO!!!

Recently my posts have been depressingly long so let's keep this one short and sweet!

Let's KISS!!

Keep
It
Short
Sweet

My english tutor taught me that :)

Anyways yesterday I went and watch 'The Hunger Games'. Apparently it's like the new Twilight or something but I only went because it was for a friend's birthday party. Happy birthday my dear Sheree!

My movie ticket :)

It was really funny because my friend threw my half-finished EasyWay in the bin because she thought you couldn't bring it into the cinemas. But really you could. That was really sad but oh well.

The movie was really good in my opinion, only because I haven't seen a movie in the cinemas for a long long time. In fact I can't even remember the last time I did. So for me it was really good, with just the right amount of action, sadness and romance. I think Katniss and Peeta are so cute together! Gale's really hot as well but he didn't appear enough for me to like him.

Look at her look at him! :)

Afterwards I had some yummy spicy chicken and rice cake kebab. My friend didn't like it much but I thought it was delicious. As long as it's meat i will like it.

Here are some more pictures if you don't like words :)

Outfit of the day from a weird angle

A rainbow on my shoe and my shadow on the ground

When I came home I actually read the entire Hunger Games book online.Yes it took me just one whole night. My friend JG said I should definitely read it so i did. But i skipped some parts and only read the beginning and end because I just wanted to see if Katniss actually liked Peeta or not because that didn't really show in the movie. The book confused me even more. Maybe I should read the other books too. Mmm...

Happy Hunger Games and may the odds ever be in your favour
Ciao

Home Sweet Home

Day 3 of Camp

Woke up at 7 in the morning at considering we slept at 2 only 5 hours earlier, everyone looked like walking zombies trying to grab their bras and undies off the ground. Somehow we managed to get the place looking like there wasn't an invasion of crazy teenage girls.

Kayaking in the morning was really tiring. I really wanted to go with a friend but apparently it's harder so everyone had to go individually. I was always one of the last in the queue following the teacher because I was so slow and my arms were dying. But a lot of my friends were encouraging me from the front so I kept going and made it back alive.

Lunch was delicious. Apparently it's called 'burritoes' as I read on my friend's blog. It's basically a wrap with tomatoey meat, lettuce, tomatoes and other stuff I can't remember. We got to self-serve which is always nice. But i accidentally took too much so the wrap couldn't close and it leaked which i ate it from the plate.

On the bus trip back to school I sat with JL. We were going to finish the Lion King but her computer ran out of battery so we started listening to music. Since JG sang me a lot of the Disney songs I'm really obsessed with them now, especially 'The Morning Report' by Zazu. The tune's really addiciting. We listened to 'Can you feel the Love Tonight' which I also really liked.

When we passed through a tunnel, JL remembered that's it's the same tunnel we passed through in year 7 on an excursion and back then we took a really funny photo which we still laugh at to this day. So we decided to take another one, which led to another two, and another three. Then we started imitating characters from 'The Shining'. We laughed so hard and probably disturbed the entire bus but whatever. The pictures are in my phone but for safety reasons I will not be showing them. By that I mean your safety, not our safety :)

My mum drove me and my friend Vicki back home and we were both really tired by then. Plus it's always awkward with a mum around so we didn't talk much. After arriving home I basically collapsed on my bed after a shower and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

And that marked the end of my 2012 camp. It wasn't the funnest but I feel like I got a lot closer to some people I thought had no interest in being my friend.

Don't think, just do it

Day 2 of Camp

Day 2 was when the fun began. Actually, I wouldn't call it fun. It was more like excitement and adrenaline rushing through my veins the whole day. After an ok toast and not ok cereal breakfast, my class headed to the rope course. It's like ropes hanging in the sky and you have to walk on it. My partner JG and I had to wait a long time for the gear to come around. When it did, she went first. She's very adventurous and told me to challenge her so she wouldn't regret it. But when I shouted my head off and told her to walk backwards or at least let go of one of the ropes she was holding onto, she did not listen. It was really funny cos she said "when I come down I'm gonna kill you because you're not persuasive enough!"

When I did it I finally understood her inability to challenge herself. It was so scary!! When you're up there you just shouldn't think. That's what I did. I just kept on going. I wasn't going to go on the highest level but my classmates convinced me and I did. When it was time for my turn on the flying fox, I ran off the take-off area. That way there wasn't time for my brain to react and command my body to stop.

Next up was archery. It was fun the moment I grasped the trick, which was pull your hardest. From then on I had a lot of fun hearing 'ooh's and 'ahh's whenever our team hit the target. We then went winning the competition, do which we were rewarded dinner kitchen duty and a palm-sized ice cream. Kitchen work was actually really fun!! The dish-washing machine was so cool but so hot so it kept 'fogging' my glasses up, which when someone heard they thought I said a rude word.

The night wasn't very fun. Abseiling gave me a big purple bruise on the knee and the teacher was so intimidating. The only fun part of it was i got to dress up in their gear and I felt like my motherly side came out. Night activity that the camp place organized was pretty lame. We basically just ran around hysterically like monkeys.

After that we went back to the cabins and celebrated a friend's birthday. When she was just about the open her perfume present, someone said to her, "Apparently it stinks." It was a statement said with a smile and responded with a laugh but it stung my heart. I don't think I want to organise another birthday because I don't want to keep spending a lot of time and brainpower picking presents that 'stink'.

We slept at 2 in order to play strip poker and watch a 'classic' horror movie called 'the Shining'. I don't recommend it unless if you like really slow movies with super long conversations. But what did make me happy was I finally watched Lion King. JL has been obsessed with it for ages and I have been meaning to watch it again since the last time I saw it was back in 1st grade and it was dubbed in Chinese. It was really good! I thought Nala really looked like JL and Zazu's voice sounded like JG's.

The funniest bird in the whole wide world

Has the same 'W' mouth as JL

Everyone agrees that I'm exactly like Ed, a sidekick hyena who has some kind of mental problem. He keeps laughing non-stop and eats his own arm. Ok maybe don't bite my arm but I do laugh for no reasons and make ridiculous faces.

There he is on the left!

The Truth

Camp is over. This is the morning after the last day and i'm watching a drama while telling you my favourite (and less favourite) memories.

Day 1

• Chatted with JG on the bus. Swapped some embarrasing moments. Talked about how boobs (and the brown blob on top of it) changes colour and shape according to surroundings. Now that I think about it, boobs are kinda like chameleons.
• Wasted the whole morning dramatically sorted out camp groups. Many people in the grade cried :( It was hard to do cabins so that everyone got what they wanted.
• Sport science was actually really fun because we played a lot of games. There was this one where you had to meet eyes with someone in a circle in 5 seconds. I got out the first round.
• Fitness tests = 0 in flexibility. I'm very unflexible. When I was young I did ballet and that's the first thing the teacher told me. It was also the last thing she told me because i quit 1 week later.
• Food wasn't very good on the first day :(
• Night activity was pretty fun. Everyone went in their friendship groups and played games together like catwalking as twins, duo dancing and complimenting the teachers. Felt really sorry for my friend Vicki because she did two of the most embarrasing things. But she was really good at it.
• After that we went back to the cabins and got ready 'for bed'. But actually we just made the place as messy as my garage and started playing games and two of my friends started singing Disney songs and I was pretty sad I couldn't join in. But I found it so cool they knew every single word.
• Afterwards me and two friends had a deep and meaningful conversation while the others continued playing 'Twister'.We slept a little later than we were supposed to. Actually, a lot later than we were supposed to.

The first day was alright. If you ask me 'was it fun?' I wouldn't know what to reply. It wasn't as fun as I expected it to be and the day was filled with drama and the night filled with confessions. Some of my friends got hurt from misunderstandings and though I apologised, I still don't know if they understand. With a group of 10 people, it is unavoidable that someone gets left out and that caused some problems.When I thought about those problems while listening to some really sad songs, a few tears dropped but I had to wipe them away quickly so no one would notice.

But overall it was ok. At night when we had a 'truth talk', I said some things I have been meaning to say for a while and it felt good to let people know what you really think. I also learnt some things i could change to make myself a better person. I like it when people tell me what's wrong with me. That way I know they want me to be better which means they care about me. I agree with JL that JG is really wise. She knows a lot of things but doesn't blab anything out like me. I think I should be more like that.

Will write about Day 2 and 3 later. They were much funner :) But now I have to head out for a friend's birthday party. We are watching the Hunger Games!

It's FUNtime!

Let's discuss fun stuff!!

Today I went into Townhall with my lovely friend Vicki, in order to accompanish a secret mission which I will give you a hint - birthday. Ok that's it. Let's move on.

Right now I'm eating my favourite food in the whole entire world. Or maybe not. More like my favourite food in the whole entire world that I actually get to eat.

i quite like the design of the box :)

Half eaten pizza...

Also yesterday when I went shopping for my friend, I picked up a pair of earrings but figured it's too little to make a haul on it. Here's what they look like:

They're really pretty but the tablecloth ruins it...

Anyhow I have to pack for camp. The note told us to bring 5 pairs of undies. But seriously, am I really gonna use up 5 undies? I mean i would if i were super horny and had like womanly erections but I'm not (even if I may seem like the type). So I'm gonna ignore the note and be a JG type of person who listens to her own heart over how many pairs of undies I wanna bring.

P.S. JG's a friend

Surprise!

Today I received 4 tests back. Wow right? Math, Science, History and Chinese. Actually why am i even talking about this if I'm not gonna tell u the complete truth? Fine. I have decided that I shall reveal the complete truth to my loyal blog viewers.

So this is about math. The math test we did yestersday was finished in marking in less than 24 hours and given back to us. Amazing right? But what's more amazing is my math teacher, Mr H. Now before you read on, I would like you to understand that I am NOT in love with him. Some of friends think I am. Or maybe they're joking... But he is really nice and probably the best teacher I've ever had because he is so funny and easy-going, apart from the rare explosions over our noise-level.

Basically, this time for math test, only one person got full marks. I personally think everyone got really high but Mr H gave us a serious talk about how we should "pull our socks up" and study harder. But I just sat there completely relaxed as he gave out the papers. Why? Because I already knew my mark. Let's go back to this morning...

I went into the math stuff room wanting to store a friend's birthday present there until later so it doesn't get wrecked. The first thing Mr H said when he saw me was "There's Mary! She's the only one who got full marks in the math test!" My friends didn't hear it because they were busy running away because they think I'm embarrasing. Yes you see, I already knew what I got...

So then at recess i was walking in the corridor with my friend JL when Mr Harbridge came past us again and said "100%! Wow! I'm so proud of you!" Yes. I get it Mr. I'm dumb and you are surprised.

Ok back to the classroom. People started guessing who got the 100%. Heaps of names popped out but none of them were mine. I'm not surprised. I am, after all, one of the dumbest in my math class. But at that moment I realised I didn't want anyone to know. So I started panicking and kept mouthing, "LOOK AT ME, MR H. LOOK AT ME!" And guess what? He did! It was so magical. Anyways i shook my head at him and he understood and told the class he couldn't tell because the person didn't want it to be known.

So YAH!!! I'm so happy now and I think I like him even more (as a teacher). I don't like teachers who invade your privacy by going 'I shall be reading your marks out"

Yah it's kinda ridiculous that I was more happy over the fact that the teacher understood me than the fact that I got pretty good for once in my life in a math test.

I care

I had a really full day today. Do you know what I mean by a 'full day'? Like one of those days where you feel like you've done so many things. Your legs are tired, your arms are tired and basically your body's tired. This is why i have finally collapsed on my bed really late in the night, trying to write a blog post with my IPod.

The reason I'm so tired is because I went shopping. Not for myself though, this time it's for my friend Sheree's birthday. It's coming up on Saturday but since we have camp later on this week we needed to have everything organized beforehand. And Omgosh let me just say I really admire those people who organise b'day presents now. They're pro. I went in circles in Westfield today about 5 times carrying 100 bags. It was an enjoyful process but I can hardly move now. So I really hope she likes the prezzies we (my group) got her. Can't tell u what it is yet ;)

So the point of this post today is I discovered some things about myself recently that I would like to share with the world:

- can't stand secrets. Just can't.
- confess too much unnecessary stuff. I swear people are going to start hating me soon after they realise how evil I am as a human being.
- I am compassionate

So you may be thinking, what do you mean? Actually, I'm not even sure I'm using the right word. I strongly believe that I'm a selfish creature. Most people are. I am also very emotional, and a lot of my (wrong) decisions are based on my emotions. But I never knew I was compassionate.

Last year when someone from an older grade died in my school, many people were really sad and crying. But I felt no emotions. Maybe because I didn't know her. My friends and I started setting up situations like 'would you cry if I die?'. Of course I said yes, but deep down inside I wasn't sure. I think I will just be sad, but wouldn't cry. I felt like such heartless person. But today, after hearing the news of one of my friends being in hospital because she is severely ill made me depressed. I surprise myself, because I care so much. I want to know how she's doing and if she's alright. I'm so worried about her I'm not in the mood to do anything but to lie down and hope that its nothing serious. So yeah. It really made me think.

How are you doing, my dear Vivian?

I never knew I would care about my friends as much as I do and it makes wonder if I'm caring too much and it's a waste of emotions. Would they ever care about me as much as I care about them? Probably not. I always tend to love others more than they love me... This is a fact and not an opinion.

My life is a hairytale

Just finished my dinner and I'm really full. Like so full I can't even sit down. So here I am doing gymnastics just to write a post on my blog. It looks kinda like mid-air asian squatting if you know what I mean.

Today is hot. And it's not because of me. My mum's room is really hot, it's like a fridge but of hotness instead of coolness.

Camp is fastly approaching and I should probably pack everything this weekend. Thinking about doing a 'what I'm bringing to school camp' video but would anyone be interested? :S Probably not. Why would anyone be interested in me? At school, no one talks to me unless if i talk to them first, and I'm not exaggerating. Once I tried to count the number of times people said hello to me first before I said it to them and the statistics left me heart-broken.

I was in a really bad mood today because my zipper went wrong. And I'm not talking about my fly zipper :) I'm talking about my costume I'm making for school textiles. It's a clown costume. It was perfectly fine until the end bit where the needle decided to do a dance and make squiggly lines on my fabric.

I'm still in the process of doing my cushion. Actually I kinda gave up. I would have done it if it were chosen to go into the Easter Show but now I'm really not bothered. But my friend Alice got in. Her one was so good! Like so detailed. Took her ages. Mine took me ages too but I watched movies and ate chips while doing it. Here's what it looks like now:
 

I like owls

So one of friends has this blog and she hasn't told anyone except for me. And I wish I could link it for you guys because I find it so interesting and funny, but I can't :( Anyways I have come to the conclusion that blogs are only fun when you know the person writing it. Unless if it was a fashion blog or if the person had a extremely interesting life like an asian-drama-type of life.

I wish i lived in a drama, even if I'm not the main character. I will probably be that character who everyone hates and no one cares about. Sometimes I feel really sorry for them, especially if they are really pretty. I wish I could make a drama that makes those kind of characters the main character and give the audience a take of what their life is like.

MWAHAHA
bye

Uploading... 71%

In the middle of uploading a video for my YT channel :) It's a birthday haul for my sweet sixteen (i nearly wrote 'sexteen'! ....... :O)

HELLO if you came from my Youtube video, since I did link my blog there.

It's done!

My Youtube channel is hungry... for you ;)

MWHAHAHA

It's the outside that counts

Today i realised something I realised ages ago. Your face determines YOU. What I mean by that is your face IS you. If you were a very pretty person but talks really show-offish then no one really cares. But if you didn't have so much of a pretty face and still talks like that, the opposite will happen.

All my friends have really pretty faces and (most) have really pretty hearts. So take Vicki for example. She has the face of an angel (I'm serious). Really adorable and it's impossible to hate her when you look into her sparkly big eyes with the amazingly long lashes. So when she starts ranting or goes into her 'oh my god' mood, I don't mind because it's super cute. But if I do what she does, people will freak out. It's simple. I'm not pretty nor cute, and I come with the bonus of  a voice that sounds like a man when I go hyper, as told by my friend JL today.

Speaking of JL, she's so pretty too. So when she points out all my faults, like sounding like a man, I love her for it. But if her face was replaced with someone else's, I wouldn't be able to stand it.

I don't know if you know what I mean but hopefully you do. People say 'it's what's on the inside that counts' but is it really? If one could choose, who would choose to be ugly unless if you were in ancient China where all pretty girls are in danger of rape.

So that's that. Something to think about when you are bored.

FOOD HOLY FOOD

I really should be doing my work but I give myself until 8 to do another post. You see I'm always really excited for something when i first start it but the hype slowly dies down as time passes...

Anyways! Did I mention I really love food? Like LOVE not like. It's my life. Well I guess it's everyone's life because we all need it to survive. But some people may not mind not having food if they could survive without it if you know what I mean. But me no. I NEED food. Yummm. Too yummy to describe. That feeling when I see something I like and I know it's mine. YUM!!!!!

I dunno when this addiction started. Maybe when I was around 12. I was having a growth spurt back then and my mum was like eat, eat, EAT! I was forced to eat so I could grow taller and prettier so I did but it didn't work. I'm pretty short in my grade. Like I'm in the middle row when we take school photos. I guess that's alright but I really still want to grow taller but I doubt I will. I've never measured myself but I think I'm around 1.65m.
If you really love food too let us explore the world of food together!! Have you heard of food porn? Apparently it's like porn with food. Kind of cool. I mean I don't watch real porn because it's kind of gross but food porn is fun! Except it makes me hungry half the time, especially if dinner wasn't all that yummy.

How cute!! Almost too adorable to eat :)

YUM!!! i love kebabs

PIZZA! i dream of you every day... and night.

There's no word to describe my feeling...

I love food. But it comes with side-effects. If you can insert your head into your computer screen and pop out of mine and look down you will see.... BELLY FAT. A lot of belly fat. I can't help it you see because the belly controls the mind. If I'm hungry I eat. If I'm not hungry I still eat if there's yummy food. Sigh.

I'm not going to reveal my weight to the world because i feel it is inappropriate. Although I think I am exaggerating a little. Ok here's the truth. I'm not fat compared to the standard fat people, just fat compared to my friends. They are all gorgeous and really skinny. Except for JL who claims she is fatter and heavier than me. I believe her but she's really tall so the fat is all spread out and you can hardly tell.

So you get the point. I love food. But my mum's not that of a great cook. My dad is, but he works so he rarely whips up a yummy meal anymore. So in the holidays I decided to cook for myself using recipes found on the internet. It was actually really yummy! I surprised myself :) But now school's started I really don't have time to cook. But i have time to blog. Kind of weird :S I'm just lazy and hate moving around.

It's really goodbye now!

BYE

P.S. hope you enjoyed this all my food-loving friends out there in the world!

Wanna know my secret?

So blogging is trending. Well at least amongst my friends.

MMM maybe I should try it too~

Well that's why you're here :)

Hello you. The person sitting in front the screen. Yes. YOU! Why are you here? You shouldn't be here. Go outside and play. Enjoy the fresh air!

Or not.

Anyways. The blog title is 'Confessions of a Eataholic'. So you might be thinking...
"Oh this person's gonna blog about food. How boring... bye!~"

No. Actually it's gonna be about my life. And fashion. And anything I like. *yah!*
Let's start with something personal. Hello, I'm Mary. Old-fashioned name but not old-fashioned mind. I have a brilliant mind. Yes. One that can think of the most extreme things. Just ask my friends. They have to deal with it everyday.

BTW, you might want to check this out if you are interested in fashion and shopping:

I do videos on Youtube you see. Hauls and stuff. Pretty interesting to watch what other people buy but don't get addicted like me.


My latest video:

Today was an interesting day. Well you see my biggest guilty pleasure is to dig up other people's interests. Only people I'm interested in though. I'm been pretty good at it recently. I just go 'wanna swap secrets?' and they have no choice but to let their curiosity take over them. Yes I'm evil. But I'm always truthful when it comes to sharing secrets. So it's pretty fair I guess.

One of my best friends to share secrets with is Vicki. She's an adorable little creature who got me addicted with reading blogs. She has the face of an angel and the mind of a genius. She has this BIG BIG secret she wouldn't tell me about. But I understand because I have one too that i wouldn't tell anyone. Maybe in 50 years time I would, but definitely not now.

I'm gonna go. I have many tests coming up so should definitely study.

BYE~~

P.S. hello if you know me :)
