Oh, bloody hell. (This, of course, in a british accent, because it's cooler that way.)
I have just checked my results...
English - 82/100 (Band 5)
Legal Studies - 76/100 (Band 4)
General Mathematics - 81/100 (Band 5)
Modern History - 74/100 (Band 4)
Spanish Continuers - 86/100 (Band 5)
Now, these ARE good results, and my mother seemed quite happy with them. But I'm not, am i? Not really true. I am happy about the results, and in a way they're better I dared to hope. But I'm also dissapointed.
Spanish I'm quite happy with (and surprised that it's my best subject). I expected to go well in Spanish, and this has greatly helped get my mum in the comfort zone, so nothing more to say about Spanish.
Legals and History are better than I expected. Much better. My teachers will be quite happy about this. I really thought I would get in the 60s, late 60s if lucky. I wanted to get into the 70s, but I never really thought I would! It's not like I was doing 70s at school... but I won't argue. This favors me, and I must be a fool to complain about something going better than I hoped.
English and Maths are good. 80s is always a good place to be. But, I expected more of those, specially English. I think I wrote my very best in the exam. Truly, I don't think I ever wrote as well in the exam than in any other occassion. However, this only proves my fatal mistake in the past two years:
I understimated the HSC, maybe more than I thought I did. And I'm lucky to have gone well in that case. Not many people 'survive' after they have understimated their opponents, after all.
Now I must only wait for my UAI, tomorrow at 9am. At least I'm feeling better, no anxious anymore.

Judgement Day - Part 1
So I was lazy to talk about the books and movies I've watched. I promise I will talk about those in due time, but now I will tlak about two other things.
One, is about my first Pepper Lunch ever~
A pepper lunch, for those who don't know, is a japanese type of cooking (well, not really japanese I think, but I'm not going to get into this) where dishes are served on very hot plate, and the food is cooked in fron of the costumers, allowing them to choose how cook they want their meals. I had this lunch on last Friday, when I met with a friend for lunch. I had a hamburger with fried egg, and I must admit, I really liked it haha. I can't wait to come back there again. This was also the first time I've eaten a meal only using chopsticks. I'm really proud about that, as I don't consider myself really good with chopsticks.
The second tihng, and the one that relates to the title of this post, is about my HSC exams results as well as my UAI.
HSC (High School Certificate) it's the highest certificate in secondary education level that you can get in NSW, Australia. So it's very, very important. The HSC involves a preliminary (yr 11) and HSC course (yr 12) at school. Your final mark involves all the work you've done at school, both school exams and assessment tasks (50%) and the HSC final exams (50%). My final exams were between 18th of October and 4th of November.
The UAI (University Access Index) it's the 'mark' that you are given by UAC (a body that represents all universities in NSW and ACT) which determines whether you go to university at all, and which course you'll be able to do.
Both the HSC mark and UAI are very important, and I must admit, I'm dead nervous about this.
I'll be able to check my HSC results on December Wednesday 17th, at 6am; and my UAI on the 18th, at 9am. That means I only got less than 5 hours to go before I'm able to check my HSC results...
Well, some friends are planning to stay up until 6am, but I know I won't be able to do that, so I'm planning on grabbing some asleep before my deadly alarm wakes me up for my 'judgement'...
I shall blog once again tomorrow morning, after I've seen my marks =x

I'm back :o
yo~~~
It's been a while since I last posted hehe. My excuse is that first, I was tired (from exams, specially history, which i fear i dind't do so well, and writing) and felt like having a break; secondly because there wasn't much to blog about; and lastly, because I felt lazy ... Yeah we aussies are lazy...some of us anyway...
So, what have I've been up to? In the last few weeks Life has seen go out with people more often that I have in the last two or three years together... though still it isn't much compare to more 'sociable' people. I also have been reading many books, which I shall mention rather in this post, as well as movies and documentaries, all taken from my local library, which have replaced school as my second 'home'. And, as any other 18 year-old guy, I have been playing video games. Lol.
Early Novemember(that is, 4th of novemeber onwards as that was the day of my last HSC exam) was boring, as I started to get used to not having much purpose in life other than breathing and eating and sleeping and that kind of stuffs. It's been a real change, not having to go to school everyday, and do homework every night (which, I must be honest, didn't do EVERY night...) and study for exams or doing assignments due in a few weeks-time. However, the hardest part was not being able to see my friends on a constant basis, as well as (surprsingly) my teachers, who I must say these teachers and school have had the greatest impact on me than any other school. Even IEC (Intensive English Center, a place where newly arrived kids go to learn English as well as getting used to school-lifestyle here in Australia), which I always, and still do, consider as an important stage of my life.
Late Novemeber I started meeting with my school friends a bit more, maybe once a week though not always. Though we did started tlaking more on msn, which is quite good. Got involved in many group convos, and I realized I can be quite funny, making 'smart' comments on whatever we were talking about. Ah, fun times...
Now, I said earlier that I have been going out with people more often than before. By people, I mean everyone. That is, family and friends (but no strangers... lol). Three of these 'outings' are important to note, however. The first, was the concert of Andre Rieu here in Sydeny at Olympic Park. It was really good, and I'm glad I did go with my family there. It was on a Saturday and, well, it rained. And the concert was on open space... which means we got rain on us. Not much bother as we wore waterproof-coats, though I was worried I'd get sick as my socks got wet, and once when I was a kid I got fever for wearing wet socks for far too long. Luckly, I didn't get sick. Though I did told for the first time to my mother to 'shut up' as she really got annoying for something which wasn't my fault. Anyway I forgave her as this was very inportant to her, though I did promised myself if she ever did this again I wouldn't go out with her again. Which she'll understand ...
The day after, me and my friends were supposed to go for laser tag, which got cancelled due to overbooking. I ended up having breakfast with some of them before accompanying them for their license driver's test, which I'm glad to announced they passed. Hehe. After that I went to the city, hunting for a video game which I did not find out. I guess this is for the best, as this way I don't spend the little money I have. Had fun walking around CBD Sydney (known to us aussies as the 'City') though my legs protested loudly that night.
The third outing was yesterday. A very close friend's birthday was on friday, and she organized for a group of friends to meet and have dinner together at Darling Harbour. The food was good, all the more as were hungry haha. I ordered a hawaiian pizza and garlic break, and tried for the first time RedBull (which I shall talk about in the next paragraph). It was very fun, meeting new people and whatnot, though I felt nervous. I was the youngest, and the only one to have recently finished school, and I'm not used to being in the presence of people who are both older than me but at the same time far younger to what I would define as 'old'. Still, a nice experience to have, and one I better get used to. Uni next year...
RedBull. Most of you should know of it, and if you don't, please ask wikipedia as I'm not entirely sure how I should explain it. Anyway, as I said earlier, I tried it for the first time last night. A great mistake, though not really a bad one. It didn't give me the energy I expected, and neither did it keep me completely awake at night. But it did keep me somewhat awake. A friend told me that he doesn't get any energy, and doesn't feel like staying awake, but that it does help him think faster at times, as well as get more ideas than he would usually get. And that's what happened to me. It was obvious in my dream. It was weird, strange, and yet, very interesting, more so than my dreams in the last few weeks. I won't go into details, but I will say in the dream, I told a friend, who I was going to a party with, that we sould dressed up. As what, you ask? Well, as knights, I tihnk, because I said to him we should get a pair of white horses, golden armour, red capes, and black boots. I think that is crazy and weird, in a way.
Anyway, this is it for now, I'm tired and my head is sleepy. I shall talk about books soon enough, however, as well as movies, documentaries and video games. Cya!

A week of exams, sore arms and freaky dreams
Ah, this week has been hell as busy (and somewhat boring), which is why I haven't blogged since last saturday.
So on Monday I did my HSC English (ESL) Paper 2: Modules (yeah, full title =x) exam along with my listening. It was quite fun to write, though I would have wished my brain could think a little faster, as well as for my fingers to write faster. I'm still confident I'll get a good mark, however.
I had Tuesday and Wednesday free (to study) until Thursday, when I did my General Maths exam. This is the easiest Maths course you can do in Australia (the govt.'s thinking of abolishing it, heh), though no less challenging than normal Maths or Advance. The exam was structured into 22 multiple choice questions, with 6 extra mini-sections, composed of about 3-5 questions each. The multiple choice and Qs 23, 24 and 25 proved to be easy, but still hard enough to make me think. By the time I arrived to questions 26, things got far trickier. The questions weren't as easy, and I had to read each word carefully to know exactly what they were asking. Not only that, but with my weariness from doing the other questions, doing the final 3 sections proved to be far more challenging that I expected. Soon I got tired and, after writing down what I could in all the questions, left the exam room. I will pass, maybe even get a good mark (60s-70s out of 100) which I say it's a good result with the amount of study I did. I was so tired afterwards I went to rest at the school library with some friends before heading home and study for my next exam.
On Friday I did my Legals Study HSC exam. Unlike for my Trials two months ago, I was better prepared. And the exam gave me questions I was sort of prepared to as well. Section I and II i'm sure I did extremely well (Section I only took me 10 minutes, when, giving each section equal amount of time in relation to the marks, it's 45minutes). Section III, with two extended-response question, tunred out to be... boring. Yes, boring. I kept yawning and daydreaming every 10 minutes. I still managed to write what I could summon from my memories. I won't get 20/25 for those, but I will get a passing grade for those two questions.
Two not-so-easy exams, on two days straight didn't do me well. My arm was sore by the time i finished Legals, and by 10pm yesterday my mind was as heavy as an elephant. I feel better now, but I still feel weary nonetheless. At least, I got 3 days before my next, and possibly hardest exam I'll ever do in the HSC, if not my life.
Oh, but my dream last night was quite...nice. It revealed how much I yarn for someone to be happy with. The girl whom I "went out" with in my dream is a friend from my english class, with whom for the past two years been competing and trying to outbest in our exams, and writing in general. I'm sad to say that she has turned to be a better writer than me, as she has practiced much more than I ever did and so, she deserves to be ranked first in both english classes. It may be because I respect her so much that she was in my dream (though in real life I wouldn't think of ever asking her out ... for now anyway). In the dream I was also dragged onto the ''basketball'' team that seemed more like a mercenary group of sorts, and I wore something similar to Allen Walker's 3rd Exorcist Uniform in the manga (D.Gray-man), only blue isntead of red. I also found myself playing match of soccer against another school. Where have you seen a basketball team play a soccer match? Anyway, it was a good dream (except for the scenes set in my house) and I wouldn't mind going back some day (or rather, some night).

Interesting Friday
So many things happened on Friday (yesterday) that I dare say it was the most exciting day of my life (and soon you shall realize my life is rather dull because of it).
First of all, I did my HSC English Paper 1 exam (hour and a half) and it was actually pretty easy compared to other exams, both ours and years past. Section one question were the easiest actually, only dealing with journey-type stuff as well with what the text was about, and there weren't any language technique-type questions at all, which made it even easier (and that's what i fail at the most).
Section two was still challenging, asking us how effective were the prescribed and related texts in conveying the development of new understanding of the world around us one may gain while on a journey. Some friends used only three texts (writing almost two pages for each) while others used a bigger number of texts though they wrote less as well (after all, we can only write so much in a mere 50 minutes). As for me, I used 7 texts (I did told my friends I used 8, but that was because I confused myself). I used the poems "A drive in a country" and "Postcard" by Peter Skrzynecki, and "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost; the novels "Only The Heart" written by Brian Caswell and David Phu An Chiem, as well as "Eldest" by Christopher Piolini; the song "Message in a Bottle" by The Police (which for some reason i remembered the lyrics so well despite the fact I only read them 2-3 times) and the film "Eight Below" directed by Frank Marshall (whose name I did not remembered so I didn't bothered writing anything on that matter). Of course I didn't wrote more than a page for each text (though Only the Hear, Eldest and SKrzynecki's poems came close) but I believe I didn't bragged much about them, only saying what needed to be said.
I surprised myself by how confident I sounded on my writing, stating that "these texts do conveyed the idea of blah blah blah effectively". Normally I wouldn't do that because I wouldn't be sure if I could really support my argument (though I didn't know either when I wrote this) so I was, as I sad, surprised at myself. I'm not sure if I supported my statement well or whether if I supported it at all, but I believe I did, so that's something.
Moving on, after the exams we all went to our teacher to see what she thought of it, and to hear any consolences that would make us feel better in our chances of getting a good mark. After that, Jess* and I started walking together towards the exit as we talked about the exam we just did and the ones next week. Haruhi* joined us and then left us as soon as she joined us as she lived somewhere else. I was surprised that Jess kept wlaking with talking as we talked, as she would normally go with her friends (who were nearby). But the fact I felt absolutely NOTHING about her as she was next to me is what surprised me the most (and still giving trouble in finding peace). After talking with two friends I agreed to the fact that it may be that Jess just happens to be my type of girl personified that I feel attracted to her, and not because of who she really is. Which bugs me to no end...
At least I got her to deal her phone number in my mobile (she did it twice as the first time I closed the phone without saving it properly) and will be calling her tomorrow to see if she has foresee the exam questions on monday (she did for her previous exam).
After all of us went our separate ways, I realized that, due to the nervousness and excitement of the exam, I left my house keys INSIDE my house. Not knowing the time my parents would get home, I went to the Library. After a while (three hours) I went back home and still no one there. So I decided to do something I never thought I'd do in my life: to break the law (or rather, just break in into my own house). I won't go into details but after a 1.8m fall where I landed on my right leg and much thinking and headache (due to the heat) I managed to get inside to a well deserved glass of water and my beloved computer. Though I ended up realizing I did too much walking and, I being out of practice having stayed at home for two entire weeks, left me with sore legs for quite a while.

So I decided to do something I never thought I'd do in my life: to break the law (or rather, just break in into my own house). I won't go into details but after a 1.8m fall where I landed on my right leg and much thinking and headache (due to the heat) I managed to get inside to a well deserved glass of water and my beloved computer. Though I ended up realizing I did too much walking and, I being out of practice having stayed at home for two entire weeks, left me with sore legs for quite a while.

Between cats and booklets...
Stupid cat . . .
Last night my cat Melanie (female) came back from her usual outing outside the house. After she had her food (biscuits and dry fish) she showed signs of 'going to bed', which involves looking at you and then towards the bedrooms. So I took it to my room and soon enough she was sleeping on my bed, though the place she chose would not bother me when I'd decide to go to sleep.
But then ... my mother and step-father came back from their trip to Europe (they missed my bday \o/) and Melanie woke up. Then after spending two hours eating more food and going out, she came back and ... lay down on my PILLOW. And slept there until I myself decided to sleep and then (after spending efforts in finding another pillow around the house) she gets up and chose another spot in my room (my bag). Sometimes I think she's doing it on purpose...
Now I'm trying to study for my HSC Exam of English, Paper 1 that I'll be doing tomorrow, though I'm not having much success, (why do we have to do exams? couldn't they just give us free marks?) though at least I'm getting something done. Planning on doing theory now and after lunch I will start doing as many past papers I'm able to. If i finish all of them or get bored, I'll probably do another session of revision on the theory of Journeys.
For now, some pics...
Not long after she got on my pillow...
This I took after i moved the pillow to the other side of the bed...and she's still sleeping. You can see the other pillow to the left.
