i want to reconcile the violence in your heart.

Undisclosed Desires by Muse

After an intense 2 weeks of exams, it's now post-exam time i.e. receiving the tests back. I got many of my exams back today and can I honestly say, that I am very thoroughly disappointed in myself? I knew I should have committed myself more to my studies, stopped wasting time and just tried harder.

Thing is, I don't know how to improve for English. I tried so hard for Emma/Clueless and I end up getting the same shitass mark I got for Othello. No, it's not an Asian fail, but a fucking terrible mark that won't get me anywhere. I feel so terrible.

I'm chasing down a highway

To Get to You by Damien Leith

Out of all the Australian Idols, Damien Leith is my favourite out of the whole bunch. This man just screams pure talent and he also has a genuinely lovely voice to listen to. I used to be a very big fan of his, especially that period after he won idol. However, I kinda stopped being a fan of his when he released too many albums. But now, I won't stop being a fan of Damien's anymore. His new song, 'To Get to You', is amazing. I absolutely love it. Screw what other people say about Damien Leith, he will always have a special place in my heart and remain as a singer songwriter with incredible talent.

And oh, notice the setting of the video? Indeed, it's Sydney and I seriously did underestimate the beauty of this city. I live in it yet I put it down so much all the time. Sydney is beautiful.

It's late right now, precisely 1:04. I should sleep soon. And if the above paragraph/rant above about Damien Leith didn't make sense then bleh!

Running with believers, no time for fever and I haven't got time for you either

Sticks 'n' Stones by Jamie T

This is a bloody good song. It's been stuck in my head for the last few days...even when I was completing my Ext 1 Maths paper. I so wanted to write those catchy lyrics on my paper instead of numbers. Gosh, Jamie T, you king! :)

I may be paranoid but no android

Paranoid Android by Radiohead

As always, I should be studying for physics, maths ext 1 and legal studies. However, being a champion procrastinator, blogging is the way to go for me (Y).

Facebook has lost its appeal now. Seriously, there's no point logging onto it when there's absolutely nothing to do. I feel as though facebook is becoming increasingly like a quiz + gaming site and slightly reminiscent of twitter at the very same time. I have twitter, so I guess I shall use that instead now.

I'm slightly nervous for physics tomorrow...since it is in no way, my strongest subject. I suck at it. I only chose it as a subject this year because I found so much interest in it last year, when we were studying galaxies and waves... It sucks to realise how much it doesn't interest me anymore and how different it is to the year 10 course. Oh wells, I shall endure physics until the end of year 12....and hopefully, physics will scale my ATAR and push it up to something sexy. :P Yup, I want a sexy, hot and pretty ATAR score. :D

Better get off now. And btw, Paranoid Android is so long that this it is just finishing right now. Wowww. But nevertheless, its an amazing kickass song. Yay for Radiohead! :)

Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love

Sick Muse- Metric



I should be studying and not blogging..however blogging is much more luring than studying for..well, legal studies. I dunno why I chose it honestly, maybe it's because I thought I might like it...or what not. How weird. I honestly don't know what prompted me to make such a decision though! Nevertheless, I've completed three exams out of the six I'm due to do. Halfway through ey? Nearly there, not yet though. It feels so much like a Saturday today, it's not even funny. Maybe it's because I've been at home for the past two days that my body feels as though its the weekend permanently.

Spring has gotten the better of me. I am now living on Telfast, a rather effective hayfever control medicine. Gosh, I keep on sneezing and my eyes are so damn watery. I hate this weather so much. It's unsettling and it makes me feel TERRIBLE. I wasn't even half bad in winter. I only had episodes of sneezing and feeling chilly at times. I also recovered from these minor colds relatively quickly. However, with hayfever, it seems as though I cannot do anything to suppress these symptoms BUT by taking Telfast. Great, exactly what I need ey? Anyway, for the first time in two months or so, I bought.....2 items of which are:
1. Muse's album, 'The Resistance'
2. A $20 shirt from General Pants Co.
So in total, I spent $40 on two items. :D

I'm getting rushed back on a whim

Bluish by Animal Collective

You know what I absolutely hate? Being the only one (whom I know) who likes some bands. It's so annoying, nobody would be willing to accompany you to go to concerts etc. For example, Animal Collective. I think I was the only one who went crazy over their latest album in my circle of friends... Maybe Vivien Fang went crazy as well, but she's never allowed to go to gigs. :(

Need. to. meet. people. at. gigs. and. thus. go. to. gigs. with. them.
UNFAIR >=(

But the clouds are clearing up

Moth Wings by Passion Pit

Summer is finally here in the city. The weather is so warm and I'm able to start wearing tshirts all over again. Winter, this time round, wasn't as cold as it was last year or the year before. I remember those days when I would literally be shaking. However, this year, I have been shivering but not the point of shaking. There is a difference there.

I've been trying to edit my layout and make it look aesthetically pleasing. However, this is the best I can do, since I am a HTML noob. So whatevs. I tried jazzing it up with pictures and the alteration of the fonts + colours. Not helping much perhaps? Nevertheless, I tried.

My exams start tomorrow...Honestly speaking, I feel a tad nervous but I feel prepared as well. I studied + wrote a practice essay for Emma...so I hope that that is enough preparation. Funnily enough, I feel 50% ready for Chemistry, 80% ready for maths and 0% ready for physics and legal studies (only because I haven't started committing those subjects to memory yet). However, by the end of tonight, I'm going to bump them all up to 100% ready xept phy and legal. I have the next few days to intensely study for them! Go go go! :)

We live in a beautiful world

All images from the Cherry Blossom Girl

American dreams, an American road trip. These images are triggering my wanderlust and the inner adventurer within me. I want to go on a roadtrip, preferably in America, exploring the 50 states that make up the United States of America. I want to see for myself the distinctly different cities that make America so intruiging. I want to lose myself in New York City, gamble in Las Vegas, cross the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fran...I just want to feel it all. After my exams, I want to do something special. I don't know what, but I want to feel alive and feel inspired.

And all the elves say 'falala'

All I Want for Christmas! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs



I realised that my blog looks somewhat boring without the feature of graphics...So I guess, with my new posts, I'll try to squeeze in a pic or what...to jazz it up a little I guess? Anyhow, it's a Sunday today. Sundays mean study. However, after doing...heaps of mathematics exercises, I decided to give myself a break from all of that and have a little rest.

It's been it's been such a long time

Bargain of a Century by Albert Hammond Jr.

Yearlies are creeping slowly and steadily by. I've started studying for maths and it astounds me how silly my mistakes can be. Argh. My diagrams are always so misleading, so I guess I should draw everything a little clearer and hopefully by the time exams come by, I shall be a master at it.

My eyes feel so dry. That ain't good.
And the song I'm listening to write now, Bargain of a Century, is a lovely tune. I love the melodic sequence at the beginning and the great guitar solo. Utterly blissful. Now it's changed to Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie. That song manages to always and I mean always, put me into a very mellow mood. All I wanna do is graffiti a wall with the beautiful lyrics of this song...
'The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how,
the clouds above opened up and let it out.

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
when the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
making islands where no island should go.
oh no.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh no.

I need you so much closer"
