Secrets.. Phil.. & Outbursts

in the reid atm
and well
supposedly doing phil..
have declared today as non-lecture day
except for econs coz my econs mid-sem is next week
so yep
supposedly typing away at my phil
and what do i get.
remembering what i wanted to blog yesterday

===============================================
yep so "yesterday's" thing i wanted to blog about
has sorta become the day before
but you know.. that's actually a plus
it means that i probs got some work done
and at the same point

================================================
i left it to another week
*sigh*
so easy to procrat things these days :P
esp when there's so many alternative things
that you could be doing

midsems are over
mm i only had one.. :P
and my mass assessment day (mon)
is over..
now its just constant assessment
but spread out a bit more
like before..
thank goodness

mm i had a phil post before
but it got deleted :(
so all gone-y gone..

now we're basically on to Sartre
and thank god..
lecturer change!
yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i never thought i'd ever complain about
one single person talking so much..
well actually i may have complained that much
esp in the case of forma
but that's besides the point.
phil is like the only lecture i fall asleep in
funny huh ?
i find the stuff interesting
i just keep falling asleep in them :P
tho lecturer change
conditions are gettting better
and Sartre is interesting
cept for the fact that
you know for our first phil tute
discussing Sartre.
it reminded me too much of this one yr 11 GnT lesson
where fate vs. free will
was argued..

So Sartre:
"We are condemned to be free"
and from his play No Exit
Garcin: Hell is other people!

two suggested topics already
*sigh*
with freewill its something that i guess
thinking about it just makes your head run in circles

think i'll leave it at that
my brain isnt thinking atm

nite nite
*hugs*

Belated 2006 recap

Post-typing Note:
for some of the things
they are actually shorter
than i intended them to be
its basically cos of the fact
i just want this over with
not that reflecting is such a bad thing
but its always stuck as a draft
so yep.
not done in as much detail
as i'd like it to have been.

2006
Yr 12
The Year:



- of the Dog -
Woof!!


- of Balls -
Yep something that i never got round to recap
but now thinking back
i wonder what the supposed hype was really all about?
just something new?
i guess that it's nearing a year since
the actual ball
lol this time last year it was what?
20 DAYS till BALL
and looking for limos and thinking bout afters
as well as the whole big deal
seems like nothing now..

from the deal that "no foreigners"
were going to the year afters
to the questions of parters to bring
to the question of what to eat.
held at the hyatt
from photography
to the dvd recording
you just think and you didnt realise
how much supposed effort went into the organisation

with event after event in our lives
milestone after milestone (Lee, Stephen 2006)
hehe.. couldnt help it..
and well not entirely done properly
but you get the point..
since well cbb with a bibliography at the end :P
you just realise that the time passes
and there's nothing you cna do about it
but enjoy the moment
work hard for what's coming

from the night
i guess despite the differences
from the stereotpyes of a ball
and whatever may have happened
the basic idea was still present
looking at the pictures the memories
of the smiles and happiness is caught
in the flash of a smile to the sound triggers of music
every little bit that created
the string of emotions of such an enchanted night
(hmm what i seem to be saying seems
like an over romanticised view but oh well :P
it makes it sound so much prettier)
everything's what you make of it
and for the first ball
well all you can say is its special
its another passing of a rite
and well all got through it

and love you guys..
everyone was just as beautiful
if not more
both on the inside and the out :D

- The Odessy -
the first play i guess i saw in this home town of mine
i'd probs have a pic off this from gar
BUT.. well due to the whole
"no pix allowed at all and delete the one you just took"
we sorta have no pix
really just watched this for lit
part of the international arts festival
yep..
interesting..


- Interhouse Swimming Carival -
once again..
not exactly a troy victory
but we were well along on our way..




- IGGSA Swimming Carnival -
Sometimes you question
why the heck would i give up my fri night
that i coulda spent doing something
other than attending a swimming carnival
that i didnt have to go to.. cheerleading?
school spirit?
mm well
thinking back
i think it was worth it
sorta miss the school spirit..


- Interhouse Singing, Drama and Mime Day -
the last interhouse singin drama n mime..
too bad we didnt get into the finals
but for me..
the actual day was one that was pretty enjoyable
memorable.. im not quite sure
i can barely remember it
but with a victory this year (as my sister told me)
im pretty proud of it
go troy!


- Buddha's B'day Festival -
this year
was luckily excempt from
the annual buddha's bday performance
this would be because there were two people
willing to perform alternatively to me doing anything
so in a way i was happy
didnt have to perform
or get people to perform
i dont mind performing
i still love to sing
and well dance..
as long as there's a choreographer
thats not me
but..
like altho they asked em to sing the song
i guess in the end i chose against it
coz no offence to their performance
the actual content i personally felt
was just inappropriate for the actual event
for them..
congrats on their dance
im just pretty glad
i wasnt part of it for this one

- Exams -
Exams were exams
stressful.. or lack there of

- Promeathians -
promeathians.
a special year 12 thing
that's available for students of scotch and mlc
where each fornight
a guest speaker is invited to talk
and issues are dicussed
overall i went to a number of these
they were somethign i really enjoyed
until well
i realised h bio tests
had a tendency to be on thurs
and promeathians were on wed nites -.-
ah well
an enjoyable experience all the same

- Bonding Night -
yr 12 bonding night
a night of fun n games just to enhance the bonds
a reminder of what everyone's been through
a last chance to get to know new people from the year
a night i cant remember much from...


- Charity Dinner -
well last year woulda been the year
i got the most volunteer work done EVER
starting with this first one.
or the earliest memory i have of volunteer work
that was fully official..
a fully vegetarian dinner
and auctioning of items
where the money was all donated
to performing eye surgery in nepal
in the end 10,000 was raised..
for the sale of the auction items alone
i was so proud ^^
tho all that me n my sister did was do the whole
parade around the resto with the auction items


- Panda's Visit -
PANDA, PANDA, PANDA!!!
miss panda soooo much ^.^
and so panda came to visit
well for like a weekend
but a visit none the less
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
too bad couldnt stay longer :(
but im happy that he came
and was able to look at the supposed hole of our town
wasnt that bad now was it?
ok..
aside from the lack of things to do
but SUSHI!! :P
food food n more food
and you gotta come eat at our place too
so that's a plus
come again some time soon yeah?

- Getting a Job -
yep
this would go under volunteer
but not the whole useful type
not that it wasnt useful
just not directly helpful
sorta was working in sir charlies gift shop
once a month
so not much work
tho the profits went back to the hospital
so its a good thing
they didnt have to pay for the staff-ing


- Lit Conference -
nothing speccy
conference at uni
supposedly helpful to lit
but in the end not really
i dont remember actually learning much
ah well too bad..


- K & Albie come to Visit -
Another major event of the year..
well panda coming over was one ..
this was another
highly anticipated as was the previous one^^
but K was staying at my place
so all the more reason to be happy
both staying for a week
it was one intense week of outings
and well for me..
a new movement out of my at the time current boundaries
so what was this that was coming?
a new parential leniencey developing
which was a new and a great plus :D

Going from bowling, bumming around to iceskating
AND MASSES of singing K :P
it was seriously a series of last min.. lets go there!

Basically recapped under the video below
created by lina in her spare time..



- City to Surf -
A whole 12km of jogging/running
i basically put back under
"things i did in my last year of highschool"
an acheivement i guess..
well for someone who doesnt do
sport outside of house acts n PE




- Geog Camp -
Ah..
good ol' geog camp
the last camp i'll be going to anytime soon
and well
living in lil chalets
i guess it wasnt exactly camping.
but it was still just as DAMNED COLD
housed up by groups of 8 (i thinketh?)
we basically lived bout a weekend
up in wellington mills
where we travelled from hamlets to cities
learning demographic details
as well as morphologies and functions of the places
and well
im proud to say i was one of the few
who assisted in the population boom
of a small hamlet from 2 to 45 in the time frame of a few mins
tho then the bus left
and the population returned once again to 2.

pictures above?
we managed to visit GNOMESVILLE!!
yay!!
i swear i've never seen so many gnomes
all at once


- Multifaith Fest -
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarmonise!
mm.. well yet another chinese class oriented activity
mind you i travelled so far
- Last Stocking Day -

- Exams -
Exams Exams and more Exams..
what can i say?


- The Show -
The continuance of the tradition
yep..
5 years of going to the show with scar
and guess what?
FIRST time we've won something :P
all by our ownselves


- Moon Cake Fest -
FKS activity...
performance once again
thank god i had an english part..
minimal rehersing needed..
problem?
i only found out about it ON THAT NIGHT
-.-
major stress..
esp after a whole day worth of TEE total

- Grandma -
R.I.P. Grandma.
A big thing i learnt
cherish the moments you have with everyone
for all you know it could be
the last memories you make with them
someone i hadnt seen in two years
of the chances that i could have
i didnt.
from one reason to another
two years...


- Beach Day -
Yep.
the day that MLC made it
onto BBC online world pictures :P
well fun and traditional event
the beginning of the series of leavers activities
all in leavers week...


- Class PARTIES -
I swear we had the highest possible number
of consecutive class parties in one day..


*Geog - Note: Twas the day before the last day*



*Tute Breaky*


*Physics*


*H Bio*


*Lit*


*House Farewell*


*Chem*


*Applic/Calc*







- "Fun Day" -
As it was no longer viable to have a muck up day
as it was claimed that it mentally affected some
our day of terrorising the school
got deminished to our dear "fun morning" of "fun day"
ranging from the dunking thingy
where mr lee got dunked
to the slide thing
and the mad cow
i swear.. mr lee on the mad cow is an image
that is permanently stained into my mind..
not a good thing might i add.

the satirical was something that was much enjoyed
and our dear head of year, dear lawson
left the school with us
*tear*

and finally
the much awaited formal assembly
where..
we despite the prior instructions
to leave gracefully
continued the tradition
SCREAMING AND RUNNING OUT OF HADLEY!
woot!




- Valedictory -
Not even sure if that's how its spelt
but anyways
the end of highshool.
A Delightful evening..
from a formal assembly for graduation
tho there were a number of laughs over photography
(they decided to hire a photographer)
and well troubles was with coordination
of picture taking and receiving stuffs
and then dinner
held on ccgs oval with a tent and as you see
in the pic above.. the school emblem
projected onto the top of the dinner tent.

- TEE -
Oh.. the.. stress...












- Singapore -
our leavers
held in singapore
many thanks to nat
who provided the lovely host
as well as her friends tab, kenneth n elson

a weeks worth of time spending and bonding
and well attempts at forgetting about the week before

- Albie's Second Visit -
Yep.
Albie's second trip over
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
tho this time i think he stayed for a shorter time..
i think?
my memory's going but check earlier posts
would be more accurate
see day distinctions begin to blend together
esp in the times when you have fun
the separations between the days sorta disappear
and time just FLIES!

tho if memory serves correct
Albie came over on business trip
so yep less time for fun
but got to see Albie was the main point!


- Last Ever Speech Nite -
Back from leavers and a lil rest after
it was speech night
the last ever
tho truthfully i never went to my first one till yr9
and that was coz i was in the choir
so i guess
first and last yrs of highschool?
not in choir
and despite what we thought when we left
we stood corrected..
THIS was the very last time we wore uniform
ah.. the dear uniform
truthfully i actually miss it
the yr 12 uniform that is
i actually liked that uniform


*Connor me n Kim*


*James n Ben*


*ED!*


*Kim Loves Josh*


*Ants and Tash*


*Connor n BUBBLES~!*


*Liss Angel n Tash*


- Hale Sony -
Four days worth..
well five including the meet up the day before
of volunteer work as a form of respite to the parents

- Down South -
A whole 24+ hours in the car..
over a total of 2 days

Albany
Albany
Denmark
Walpole
Pemberton
Manjimup

Bunbury
Mandurah

2006.
The last yr of highschool.
Pictures speak louder than words
so i hope.. with those included
it may say something
tho from the pictures its nothing but interpretation
so i hope it is the correct message being sent across.
For a lovely and memorable year
thank you.
Missing everyone
and with the new year
that we are currently
livign away second by second
being cast into our memories
i hope for the best
