Still alive.
Thank goodness I it made out of the UMAT exam alive.
3 hours of intensive brainwork surely made me knackered.
Here goes to another 2 weeks of brainwork.
Paradise. I can see it...in the distant.

two more years so hold on.
2010: A year characterised with the domination of Justin Bieber's so called music (more like whining though I must admit One Time is so fking ridiculously catchy...I don't even like it but I listen to it cause its an earworm) and other synth driven pop tunes. Where has all the indie rock gone? In particular bands like Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Interpol and all the like - all the bands which I fell in love with in 2007... I understand bands constantly progress and once an incredible album is made they can hardly go back and recreate such a gem again. That's with Bloc Party. As much as I actually love all their music, I can't help but get a little nostalgic whenever I listen to Silent Alarm. It is just the perfect album. I really bloody miss that type of music and there hasn't been any band recently that can exactly replicate what Bloc Party produced with their first album. Yeah yeah, I bloody love dance music, electronic and synth...but where did indie rock disappear to?

Bossing around juniors
I have thought you all ought to know what the highlight of my day really was: telling off a bunch of naive and stupid year 9s.
Basically, I was in the toilets and doing my usual business and after I come out of the toilets, I see a bunch of year 9 girls standing by the sinks and pressing ALL THE TAPS. They were wasting water, what a stupid and immature thing to do. Being all annoyed about it...the conversation basically went like this (with some year 12 arrogance on my part..lol!)
Katie: Excuse me, why are you wasting water?
Year 9s: Haha! We're practising for the SRC Talent quest. (they were laughing and thinking they were smartarses by this stage)
Katie: Oh, so your talent is wasting water yeah? (I said it really bluntly and PWNED them all)
Year 9s: Well, we're bored. And we have nothing to do
Katie: WELL RATHER THAN WASTING WATER, WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO CLASS AND LEARN? GOSH. *Katie scoffs and goes off*
I think those year 9 girls don't like me very much. And as I told my maths teacher this anecdote she asked me with a laugh, 'Do you care they don't like you?'.
Not at all. I felt rather invincible and rejuvenated as I told them off. Props to power over silly and dumb juniors.
Win for Katie
Loss for Year 9s

Sometimes I hate myself when I have too good of a memory.
I always seem to remember events that have happened long ago.
And nobody else does.
It makes me sad.
All I want to do right now is bury my head in Jonathan Safran Foer's 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'
Every time I read that book, I don't feel as alone.
Everyone who reads my blog must think I am an emo...or depressed a lot.
Not emo nor depressed..just sad.
i remember posting this . oh how i wish i could rewind time. i would've done what i did differently...instead of just sitting there.
fire fire fire
burn.

crushed like a bug in the ground
as i walked out of maths tutor, i couldn't help but feel exasperated and overwhelmed. im surprised and shocked, time passes by so fast...i cannot comprehend it. i walk into the car and greet my dad with half a smile. i don't even want to talk. i dig out the cd i burnt months ago containing all the songs that i felt were the saddest and most beautiful. i place the cd into the player immediately and skip to 'let down' by radiohead. my dad drives off away from tutor and back home. i sit there, with my head against the icy window, rubbing the condensation away with my bare hands. i look up the sky, all i see are big rain clouds and the blinding lights from all the other cars on the highway. the music in the background drowns out every word my dad utters and the song fuels my sadness as we drive off. all i want to ask is why?
12.7.10
I never thought about love when I thought about home.
I've not updated my blog properly for a while. All that I've posted have been music videos and pictures.
The holidays are whizzing by so very quickly and I haven't exactly done anything that has left me feeling rejuvenated nor inspired. I can clearly remember last year's July holidays, boy they were fun and perhaps the most fun I had during 2009. Everyday was a new day, a new adventure (literally) and I'd go out and do whatever I pleased. Though in 2010, here I am, stuck at home and trying in vain to finish all that I've planned to complete these holidays.
Hello life (and people I've not talked to for a while), I miss you.

The Rain
"THESE ARE THE GOOD TIMES IN YOUR LIFE
SO PUT ON A SMILE IT WILL BE ALRIGHT."
Some wise wisdom from Calvin Harris. Put on a smile, it will be alright.

the bittersweet between my teeth, trying to fight the in betweens.
We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky
I must say, this is one of the most visually enthralling videos I have ever stumbled upon. However, this song/video makes me rather annoyed with how I am studying/wasting my life away at the moment. I wish I could do everything those people in the video are doing right now. It's what youth do, right? A life wasted in dwelling introspectively, moping upon past regrets and mistakes is not a life well lived. I know I do that myself...I'm going to try not to. Youth doesn't last forever.

Nothing lasts forever.
soon i'll be gone.....
it all felt like a dream didn't it?
i sure think it did. it happened all of a sudden, like a flash. and now that flash is still lingering inside my eyes and obscuring my vision to see correctly.
i don't know how to articulate this. im sorry.
but i don't want to leave yet. no.
im afraid.
