10 adjectives to describe myself

I'm determined to start this serious of posts that I found really interesting to read on my friends' blogs. So here's the first one, 10 adjectives to describe myself from the top of my head, 5 good and 5 bad.

#10 Psychic
I know this may be hard to believe but seriously, I think I'm a little psychic. Except my psychicness comes in a different way. As in whatever I think is going to happen, it never happens. So e.g. when I think I'm gonna get really good for a test, I never do. When I think I'm gonna get really crap however, I get pretty good. Things never happen the way I imagine it to, so now I can kinda be psychic because I know if I think it's gonna happen, it probably won't.

#9 Un-filial
Not something I'm proud to admit but I'm not all lovey-dovey to my parents. I know that it is a tradition of Chinese people to be filial to their elders but I guess I am a not-so-good exception

#8 Helpful but unhelpful
I like to help people. That sounds so cheesy... But I do, esp at school. I always offer help when I think people need it. Like last time, the textiles room was dirty so I helped the teacher clean it up without being asked.
But I can also be unhelpful. According to my mum, apparently I 'don't have the eyes for things'. Basically it means that when I try to help, I make things worse. Last time I was told to push the bins back for my elderly neighbours after the rubbish truck came but i accidently pushed the wrong one that hasn't been emptied. So my neighbour had to live with a full and stinky bin for another week...

#7 Imaginative
I think I have a pretty good imagination. For instance, I can imagine all my friends naked. No joke.

#6 Million-timer
Can't seem to get my bias straight, it's always changing, esp when it comes to kpop stars. One thing I'm disappointed with myself now is my love for Yoochun is slowly disintegrating...

#5 Trustworthy
People say I'm untrustworthy but I say I'm trustworthy. Because I'm trustworthy when it comes to those very important things. Like if you have this deep deep secret and you tell me, I certainly won't blab it out.

#4 Tend to love others more than they love me
Enough said

#3 Talkative
I am VERY talkative. Sometimes I talk just for the sake of talking. What that means is I'm attention-seeking. I think everyone likes attention sometimes. Also when I don't talk to the other person, I feel like they would be very bored. So yeah, I keep talking.

#2 Curious
I'm a very curious person. I reckon my ancestor was the one who opened that Pandora's box. If you plan to tell me something and stop in the middle, I will probably die of curiousness. Sometimes things aren't even that interesting but I just feel like I need to know.

#1 Bipolar
This can be a good thing, but it can also be bad. I'm a very happy person at school and social events but alone, I'm very quiet. I've heard this saying that people who talk a lot at school are quiet at home and I think this is completely true. I mean after you spend all that energy you have to take a rest some time.

Next on the plate... Vicki

Some of my friends have been making posts on their blog dedicating songs to friends. I figured sinced my blog is supposed to be 'dedicated to food', I will dedicate food to them. So I will now attempt to describe my friends with different foods and post these as they come to my mind. Today I will begin with Vicki because it's the first one that came to mind.

Vicki = marshmallows

One word to describe Vicki would be 'cute'. Two words to describe her would be 'stress-ball'. Marshmallows are cute and squishy, and suits her very well. BUT. Yes, there is a but. She's not just cute and squishy, there is a deep and dark and twisted side within. Therefore, I hereby announce her to be...

Marshmallow with dark chocolate filling


Something like this but reversed. So the marshmallow should be on the outside and the dark chocolate inside. Cos you know, the cute is side is on the surface but the dark side is hidden inside ;)

Food Glorious Food

Recently my dad went to this food festival thing with his friend. Aiyah, should have been there...

First time I tried instant to go food.*licks lips*



Not a big fan of dark chocolate but have a feeling Sheree would like this



Thought it would taste nice but had absolutely no flavour... Aiyah, guess I could never become a fan of healthy food... 



Food glorious food!

My future

I don't know exactly what I want my future to be like, but I know what I don't want. I don't want the future me to live with boredom and looking forward to the weekend even if it's only monday. I don't want to have a job that only earns money but doesn't earn my interest. I don't want to look like the people I see on the train every morning.

I want my life to be a rollercoaster. I want it to be full of up's and down's, very exciting and each day lived to the maximum.

You know when people used to ask you 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' Well recently I've been getting a lot of that, but the only difference is they don't say 'when you grow up' anymore. Because I have already 'grown up'. Yes, without realising, 16 years have flew past, and I am already considered to be an 'adult' by my parents. It's already time to decide on my electives for year 11, my HSC subjects, and my future.

But the truth is, the future seems like a blur. I can't see it, can't touch it, can't even imagine it. Many of my friends have an idea of what they want to do, but I do not. There is no occupation which I really want to do, not the ones that can earn lots of money anyways.

I think I'm more interested in fun jobs. A typical smart Asian would go for doctor or lawyer, but here's what I want to try in life:

ACTRESS
Very unlikely... The most I've gotten so far is a minor doctor role in my friend's school movie project.

Ivy Chen is a great actress

VOICE ACTOR
My voice can be manipulated to create many different sounds and characters. But this job earns low income and is very tiring. Also it's hard to even get in since there aren't many needed.

Mandy Moore's voice is very attractive!

MANAGER OF A CELEBRITY
My mum actually approves of this. But i don't think i really want to do it, it's more like I just want to have a chance to mingle with the celebrities I like... Plus you need high organisation skills, which I lack in.

Aaaa Yoochun, I would love to manage you <3

TEACHER
Probably the most realistic one out of my dream jobs. It would be nice just to live a very simple but fun life teaching kids, having the holidays and spending it with my own family and earning wage that is enough to sustain my living. It's nice to earn money, but i don't really mind if i don't have that much money, I just need enough to look after my family and a little bit left over to spend on yummy food and shopping sprees.

Yeah, so as you can see, my dream jobs are all very unrealistic, except for the last one. By this age I suppose I am supposed to be mature enough to come up with realistic and practical career options such as dentist or lawyer, but I guess I'm just a child trapped inside an old body and a mature face. Aiyah...

A Clown at Heart

Since the beginning of the year, I've been working on a fancy dress costume for Textiles at school. When I was deciding over what pattern I wanted to use, I chose something that suited my personality and something I would have fun making. This is the pattern I ended up getting:

I decided to do that one in the top-left corner because i thought the colours were really nice and looked very fashionable. After 1 term, here is the result :)

Tried to copy the pose on the envelope..

Sadia made an awesome dragon costume!!

I think it's actually the best thing I've ever made so far. I've never really loved any of the things we made in Textiles before - summer dress: i don't like dresses - pyjamas: i don't wear proper pyjamas - bag: never will use in my life.

But this time the costume turned out very nicely and I had a lot of fun in the process of making it :) Which proves what I have always believed - you have to be passionate in order to do good.

Me with my pretty group - everyone's so talented!

Memories

I always take pictures when things happen thinking that I'll put them on my blog. But recently I've been sick so I couldn't blog. So I decided to combine all the pictures in one post to give me a update on what's been happening in my life :)

Strange Dreams

Me: Do your legs hurt?You: No
Me: From running through my dreams all night?
You: ...

Recently i've been having many strange strange dreams. I have plenty of strange dreams all the time actually, some are very gross so i will not be making them public. But recently all my dreams have been kpop-related. Some people say all dreams have a meaning. Mmm, i wonder what mine mean.

Dream 1

Some night last week i had a dream involving Donghae and Siwon from Super Junior. They were selling pancakes at a pancake store and many people went there to greet them and get their signatures. I was one of them.This is what happened.

Me runs to the counter

Me:   OMG SUPER JUNIOR! Can i please have a signature?
Siwon:     Sure
Donghae:     You must buy pancakes first
Me:       Ok i'll buy one
Donghae:    No you have to buy a box
Me:    Do i have to?
Donghae:    Yes

But the pancakes were so expensive! And if i buy a box i will be broke. But after much talking i decided to buy a box because i really wanted their signatures. All this time Siwon was giving me this sympathetic look while Donghae stood his ground and asked me money for the pancakes. So I ended up buying a box of pancakes, becoming broke but getting their signatures

Dream 2

I had this one last night. I was in the shopping centre i think and for some strange reasons in front of the dollar store there were celebrities sitting on chairs one behind another. They were all Chinese celebrities and they were all really famous. One of them was Hangeng!! He also used to be in Super Junior. He had his bleached blond hair going on and looked really hot! A crowd formed and some broadcaster person started introducing the celebrities. Everyone cheered so loudly for all the celebrities but when it came to Hangeng i was the only one... :S So i was very sad but so glad i got to meet him!

Then for some reasons we went somewhere so he could give me a signature.Then we started talking.

Me: Omg I'm so glad i got to meet you! I've always wanted to meet you. You are like my great inspiration.
Hangeng: I'm so glad we got to meet too! It's the first time I get to meet a fan i already know.

Mmm so in the dream it seems like me and Hangeng know each other already. That's so cool!! I wish it's real. But you know what's cooler is that today I just found out Hangeng dyed his hair to blond again for his upcoming album. Yay! Can't wait :)

The Most Disastrous Shopping Adventure

Let's start from the beginning. My friend Van was having a sweet sixteen party and it was a masquerade. Yay!! So excited because i've never been to a masquerade before. But i didn't have anything suitable to wear. If you know me, you know that i do not wear dresses. Therefore i do not have dresses. The only pretty dress i have is the white ruffled lace one i wore to the Junior Dance. But i can't exactly wear that again. So i decided to buy a pretty dress that suits me to wear to Van's party.

First i went shopping by myself. It was actually an accident because i was meant to go to my primary school to get back my work experience form but they lost it!! :( In sadness i decided to go shopping but my friends already left so i decided to go shopping solo. It's actually very efficient when you do that, even though it is not as fun. I walked around the shopping centre for many hours in my school uniform but couldn't find anything :( Finally i saw this one dress. It was orange, it had black lace details and it suited my figure and personality. I really liked it. Yah~ But me being the cheapo that i am decided to bargain with the shopkeeper. When she didn't budge on the price i left the shop thinking i will find something better. Yep, very smart choice Marie. On the train back home i sneezed three times.

I started planning out shopping trips with my friends. After much arrangement we decided on a date when everyone could go. But i got sick! NOOOOO.... But i still need to find a dress! So i went out to my local area and had a look at the stores there. I was able to find a $4 dollar dress - it fitted nicely! So on the same day while coughing and sneezing i decided to take a train to go to this shopping centre to get a mask there (the same shopping centre i went by myself before). So i got the mask that was silver and looked so grand and i went home feeling very happy.

But when i went home and tried on the dress with the mask, it didn't match! The mask was too overwhelming compared to the dress... :'( So i felt really sad and kept thinking about what to do. I finally made a decision.

The next day i went to my local area again and returned the dress. Shopkeeper was very nice and gave me a refund even though they don't usually give it. Then while coughing and sneezing i took a train to that shopping centre again and exchanged the silver mask for a less grand-looking one. But the lady wouldn't let me because the mask i wanted to exchange for was worth less than the silver one, and that wasn't allowed. So after much talking i managed to convince the next person in line to combine our purchases so i didn't have to buy something else. That was embarrasing... Then yay off i springed to buy the orange dress that stayed in my mind for almost a week. The shopkeeper must have thought 'Haha that girl again'.

That's the end of my series of unfortunate events. It happened with the intention of saving money, but it actually burnt my pocket even more. You see if i had bought the dress and the mask the first time i saw it, i would have saved 10 dollars of train fare and more than 4 hours of precious time i could have spent sleeping and recovering from my cold. Aiyah... I feel so stupid.

But everything turned out fine because yesterday at the party i received compliments for my dress. Yay! So nice having friends :)
