First impressions are false.

Woke up at 9 in the morning but stayed in bed for 2hrs, lazing around. Yep, 2 whole hours. What was I doing ? I have no idea. I guess I was half sleeping but still aware of what was going on around me. Oh well. So, got up at 11 and called rents to see if we were still going to shop for x-mas gifts. Got an answer and we were off to Parra.

Instead of catching the train or driving there, we caught the bus. Yep, on the T-way. It was pretty cool ,I guess. Sat next to strangers throughout the ride. But you know, i have to admit it was a fun ride. Every time the bus stopped to pick up passengers, I would look out the window and see who could sit next to me. Yeah, if the people that were getting picked up looked somewhat 'junky' then I would avoid eye-contact when they entered the bus. Funny, right ? Well, let me tell you this story about first impressions.

Alright so there were these 3 men that jumped on the bus, all of them looking somewhat 'junky'. When they entered and talked like they were gangsters, first impression ? Bad. But afterwards, my bad impression kinda faded. They stood up voluntarily for the elderly, even if they still looked healthy. Yeah, its a 'bus policy' to stand up for elderly but still. I applaud you. They signaled each other to get up and they smiled about it too. I thought they were careless, stupid, ignorant kids that walked around like a boss. I'm not sure why, but after that bus ride.. I felt different :S Weird,right ? HAHA. Yeah, its been told that judging a book by a cover isnt the right thing to do, but you know, actually experiencing it .. it's a whole new dimension that's been discovered.

Yeah, after that bus ride we went shopping. This time with my shopping partner being Kevin. When does this ever happen ? NEVER ! It was so weird at first cause he was drowsy and half asleep but it was better after. We both overspent on gifts for mum and dad and spoiled ourselves. And yes, you heard it ! We're actually buying presents for each other.

Overall, today was a fun day. Enuff said. LOL. Nights !

Omg.Hilarious.

I love how, with a click of a mouse, you can easily delete a comment on facebook. What it does is effectively makes a fool of the other person. Omg, hilarious. I was commenting on a picture with Tori in it and then afterwards, I deleted all my comments -making her look so idiotic and such a fool. HAHA, I couldn't help but laugh and laugh until I got dizzy ( I know right, how the heck does that happen ). So, I was in a call with her and I just couldnt stop laughing my friggin ass off. But yo know, i guess its kinda pissing to realise that you sound like an idiot but oh wells. Tori's awesome so she'd understand.

A lot of things happened in teh course of a night. So many hilarious thing. Careless typos and everything, omgggg. I currently have 2 inside jokes with the words 'bush' , 'toe' , 'totes' and.. something else which i cant remember. Oh well, its 12:01 now, and I should be asleep.

Goodnight everyone ! And Adrian, safe trip overseas ! :)

Loan's outing was da bomb.

The day after the Annual Christmas Party meant that it was Loan's party. Plans were decided that we met up at the previous ' Golden Star Restaurant' at 9:30 . Dead straight, no later than one minute 9:30 in the morning. Unfortunately me setting up the alarm at 8:10 did not work. It ended up with me snoozing it twice and then dismissing it at 8:30. After that, all i heard was the constant screaming of Mummy, ' Cindy ! Cindy ! It's 9:10. GO, GO, GO '. So, I got up at 9 :10, chucked on a dress and raced out to Cabramatta. When i got there, I was escorted by my brother but to my surprise, no one was here yet. Walked around Cabra for 30mins or so and then got left alone by my brother cause he had to catch some train to his outing.

There I was standing by myself, in the middle of Cabra. For some weird reason, I totally forgot where Morning Glory was, which meant that I was left lost. Instead I asked one of those cosmetic ladies were it was but to my surprise again, she led me to the wrong way. So, I called Donna ( which rarely picks up ) and got some directions. I bet I annoyed her cause I hung up one minute and called her the next.

Anyone that has been to Cabra should understand that there are truckloads of men sitting casually by the Viet Cafes, staring at Girls walk past. Ofc, when this does happen, you feel uncomfortable and just icky. I hate walking past them like omggg. All you see are men wearing baggy clothing, unshaved facial hair, musky breath that you can smell a mile away and beady eyes that glare at you like boom. So, I passed around 3 cafe men. All of them, assumingly looking at me . I could feel that tension of the glare which sucked the most. What did all-alone Cindy do ? Just walked straight ahead. Yep, avoided alleyways, isolated areas and pretty much acted roles. By roles I mean, pretending to be related to the person right in front of you.

Here are some top tips when walking alone :
1. ( According to Sally ) Leave your hair untied . Apparently, many men try am for pony tailed or bun haired girls because they can take advantage of you easily.
2. If you think someones following you, turn around and look at them in the eye. This is cause you can see how they look like. Even though it makes me uneasy.. i guess it could work ?
3. Pinching someone in the inner thigh hurts. True fact. Tested it out in Yum Cha next to Sally. HAHA
4. Try being related to someone nearby. this is the ultimate tip when walking alone.

Take this for an example. I was on my way to morning glory, approiamatly 10 metres to go. There were men sitting on the floor, a homeless man and a woman walking past. what did i do ? Instead of walking ahead and being all heroic, I stood as close to that woman as possible without her even realising it.. 1 metre ? I was behind her first, then i caught up with her and then i was by her side ( furthest from the men). Yeah, it makes me look stupid as but yu know, it kept me safe and it kept me away from feeling uneasy. I really hate those situations , I really do.

After walking up the Morning Glory Stairs, I saw Donna and Harley. Donna dressed in red, Harley looking like Guy Sebastian with da beanie. We had a little chat before the 5 lovelies came. Soon food was served and it went pretty smoothly. Some waiter kept smiling even after we complained about having a bug in one ice cube. It was one of those forced smiles that never look welcoming but i guess, I got used to it. Oh well. It was nice.

Next stop- trains. So, we went to granville or whatever, I'm not sure. I don;t know the stations very well nor do i know where's where. But i believe, we stopped at Granville ot change trains and that's when i saw this.


Omg, when i saw it i was like. 'MATTHEW ,BRO, LOOK ! ' Sally took a picture and sent it to him i think, im not sure. But I just found it cool. Even though I think its been there for like.. so long, I just noticed it today. Well, to matthew, WE'VE GOT TO RUN. THEY'RE GONNA GRAB NGO'. HAHAHAHA.

After that was Parra. We split up as a group with Karen, Leyla, Donna & Joyce as one, Harley and Loan as two and Sally and I as threee. Surprisely, I spent most of my money at Dymocks. Ikr, i dont buy books. HAHA, oh well. Nothing's too late for a change. Oh and we also saw Tori's bffl. I was walking with sally and I heard a ' HEY CINDY' and I turned around seeing Martin and Vo. Had some awkward seconds where there was nothing to talk about, but that's alright !

Next was getting back home. Well, we had to drop Harley off and then we went back to Cheso for a groupppie chattt . In teh process, there were so many men casually staring. Srsly. Our codename was ' seagulls' . We'd be saying, ' Seagulls at 9 o'clock' or ' 6 o'clock look. Seagull ! ' Alrights, enuff about this.

Went off the train and Donna said it was raining. Right before I could say ,' It's not bloody raining. Chill' , it poured heavily. Thanks to Karen, who brought her umbrella, shared it with me. In the midst of trying to stay dry, I stuffed her umbrella up which meant I was standing in the rain, all wet, trying to fix an umbrella. What joyyyyyyyy.

Got back, had some delicious dinner , had a D&M chat about everything and just enjoyed our time. To be completely honest, I love Deep and Meaningful Chats. They reveal almost everything and they help you bond even quicker. Too bad I left 4 hrs early which meant that I missed out on all the emotional bizz. But thats alright, I'll get updates real soon !

Well, that's about it. No more plans for the holidays . Day 2 of holidays and I'm out of ideas. HAHA. Well, i said i was sleeping before but now its 1. Yep, I take forever to blog. If you're reading this , up to this very line, I congratulate you. I wouldn't be able to read whatever i wrote up there because im super sure that it doesnt make any sense at all. Haha, goodnight and be safe ! :)

Last week of term.

It didn't really hit me today but it definitely did tonight. It's the last week of term !!#@#!@#$!#!#!!!#!@!!!! OH EM GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Usually, the last week of term is one of the to-die-for weeks of school. You can party as much, bludge as much, confess as much, and not give a crap about what's going to happen after. Ofc, it's a pretty bad thing in a way, in that you dont get to see your friends that enlighten your mood whenevs but c'mon this girl needs a break. A longggggg, 6 weeek break from schooling and its problems. All the gossip, all the rumours, all the fuss , all gone. dfvlskdfgkbvmfg, I. can. not. wait. until. holidays.

After this week, I have a Christmas Party to attend and then following that is Loan's outing. Omgggggg, to die for. HAHA. And after loans outing, there's a whole season of tennis to watch ( yesss, something on tv. omfg ) and then mkr ( my kitchen rules ) and all the other awesome movies. Oh, and how could i forget, New Years. More cash in my pocket, more socialising, more catching up to do. Ah, what joyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I have no homework tonight nor any assessment which means I'm going back to my normal sleeping habits. Say goodbye to 12am sleeping and say hello to 10:30pm sleeping. Woot, woot !

Alrights, I'm off to skype and msn and then off to bed. Nights all :)

There's nothing on Tv.

Just like my Tv bud, Donna, I too am complaining about there being no good shows on tv. No Xfactor, no masterched, no Australia's got talent, no this or that. And it sucks, horribly. I can't flick to a channel knwoing that something wicked it going to be on or knowing that I can sit there and stare at a box that displays millions of images. All i do now is sit front of my computer screen, youtubing and chatting and then chatting and then youtubing. Oh boy am I active.

Nah, today I went out shopping after waking up at 9 something. I seriously thought it was 1pm or something because i slept at 1 in the morning last night :S I went off skype at around an hour before, i think, not so sure and just watched movies. It's 12:02 right now and I haven't even finished the movie yet nor have i finished cleaning my room. Dammit. Procrastination is at it again.

Other than that, schools nearly out and I can't wait to help decorate Maria's house with green and red. Sigh, one more week guys, let's hope it'll be fun ! :)

How perpetual youtube is.

Went home today after a 2hr presentation day assembly. I guess it's actually quite nice seeing students of all grades achieving their awards for their high excellence in their schooling life but I don't know. What i got from it was being compared once again to my cousin which achieved some maths award. Yeah, congrats to him but death for me. Nah, jks, I don't get killed or lectured , just my expectation to succeed flies off the scale ==

Still on the topic of presentation day, the sport awards were the most unpredictable. Like srsly, who could it have been ? Oh wait, the Barlett family ofcourse == Congratulations to Joel Barlett.... Congratulations to Hayden Barlett... the sports person of the year goes to ... Barlett ! LOL, why the heck did i just do that. Omg.

Anywho, during the assembly, we heard the Music elective class sing and it was pretty good. Nice work guys ! HAHA

So, after that, I went home and started to youtube and yoou cannot believe what I actually watched. Nothing gross, of course. Unfortunately, my computer didn't let me download those youtube vids so i guess I'll have to link you all.

It started with me scrolling down my subscription videos and boom, Christina's hot new cover came out : Click herez.

And then, it led to some other youtube artist and then this..

I call this talent. Don't be wthecking me when you see the title, just watch.

Cindy.

Why do people like science ?

Period 1 today was science. We continued watching the 'in the womb' episode which taught us all about what happened in the mother's stomach, what the baby was doing, how it moved and what not. So, in other words, it was interesting but really gross as well. After all,i'm sure most girls in class wouldn't really want to give birth anymore. I guess its good for one thing that you're educating people but its another to frighten them . After watching a women give birth ( along with the groans from the class ) I really think pregnancy is .. such a hassle. I mean, who doesn't want children ? But in this stage of my life, especially after that video, I don't think I want to get pregnant.

So instead of talking about it to Joyce and giving her flashbacks of what she saw in the video, I asked my mum. I actually acknowledge her pain and effort into giving birth. Before that, all I imagined was one or two pushes and the baby was out .. but no guys, its not right. It involves contractions and what not. Alright, so here's a story that i learnt from my parents.

Apparently, I was on the verge of death. And as my dad loves to rephrase himself a thousand times ' Lucky we paid for that good doctor '. So, how was i about to die ? I was supposedly being strangled by my own umbilical cord, wrapped around my neck. As described by dad, I was blue when i came out and lucky for me, the doctor cut off the cord and immediately gave me an oxygen supply. Now, i'm alive. LOL. Well, after hearing that, all I wanted to do was knock on the door of that doctor and give him a thankyou and a priceless hug. I really owe him everything.

Despite the video that we finished, apparently, I'm going to be dissecting eyeballs tmrw in period 3. I don't know why but im terribly excited. However, I am terribly sure that i'd be grossed out before I even cut into the eye. LOLOL, but hey, I could cut a heart, kidney and .. i think that was it ? well, without hesistation. So, hopefully , I'll do fine.

Well, that's it guys. Goodnight :)

IRENE, IRENE, IRENE

Don't ask me how it started but it involved my lovely babe, Irene and her ability to teach me and catch me up with the lessons I missed on maths. In return, I had to write an 'essay' for her ,so here it is :

Dear My Lovely Irene,
Just then, when i needed desperate help, you held my hand and pulled me through what seemed like a disaster. I was clustered in a land filled with x intercepts,y intercepts and something called a slider or sliders. I was pinned down with confusion but as you entered the world of social networking, I had a chance. A chance of survival. You sent me messages that were long as, but still, you saved me. I know a friend that would help me whenever I need help - for that dodgy program Geogebra or for life's problems .I know that I can count on you and ... surprise, surprise .. you can count on me too. Love you heaps ! ♥

LOL, I sound so sweet :3 BAHAHA ♥

Irene's reply.

to the weirdest person in the world,
this post is probably not going to be as dramatic as yours but it'll be just as good, or even better. CINDY NGO, you are a beautiful person. you are beautiful on the outside and you have a personality to match. You always seem to think you're so funny, which is not true as we all know, i'm the funnier one. I may have "held your hand" through all the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, but you've been holding my hand since the beginning of this year. I want to thank you for everything you've done for me, which is like nothing...jokes, for being there when i don't ask you to, cause like Bruno Mars said, you can count on me like 1, 2 ,3 and i know i can count on you like 4, 3 ,2 cause that's what friends are supposed to do.
love you ♥

Omg, how swwwweeeeeet is she. aasdnfkjsdrgivktnfdhigjkbgnfibjknfgijkhbnmgdfjkhnbkjgfnmjkhgmvnbkgmnkjg, omg. Lovee that girl, love these posts, love everything . ajfdnvsjkfdg <3

haha, lesson to be learnt ? Your girls are always da best.

First post about my life.

Prank dismissed ! After staying up past 12, nothing really could go wrong. I mean , I printed the ads, put my book in my bag and what else could destroy this prank ? Well, two things actually.

1. I took out the ads in the morning boasting about this prank to my mum and forgot to put it back into my book and into my bag ==

2. Sally was away.

So the prank didn't unfold. I told Tori what I was going to do the period peroid before. Sigh, what fun it would be.I realised that i forgot the dodgy ads in the morning, when I was talkint to my mum again. Her reaction ? I can't remember thoroughly but something along the lines of ' I guess it's just a sign for you not to prank anymore' . No way. It can't be a sign. I mean, whats life without pranks ? Ngo Life. <- did you see what I did there? It's not funny when i do it >>

Well , today was pretty okay. Went to greet parents on Orientation day and came back, stuck in maths. Sat next to Katherine, talked a bit and did the truckloads of maths work. To be honest, I dont get a word Lawal's talking about . You see, I missed out on... 3 consecutive maths lessons ! Oh, the joy ! But now, I'm behind like cur-razy :( No idea how to use that dodgy program ' Geogebra'.

After maths was english. Watched a movie .. err... Nightmare before Christmas ? I think. Not so sure, but I reckon its not that good. Just like Edward Knivesfeet. For some reason, the first time i watched Edward I thought it was unrealistic and so boring. But the second time round, proved that it had some meaning or something like that. Oh wells.

History ? No dancing. Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. It's postponed to next week which would give me enough time to think of an excuse to be away ! Nah, jks. I guess when dancing day does come, you just got to go with the flow and realise that boys do not have germs and neither do girls. Maturity has hit me, yes.

Last period was commerce, it was pretty relaxing. Sally wasn't here so i sat with joanne and just gossipppeeeddd. Well, not really gossip .. it was just mainly about our past experiences and who we were close with back in the days and what has faded. so, yeah, pretty cool lesson.

Well guys, can you believe it ? Next weeks last week of school and I actually blogged about my whole day today. Ikr, weird. Well, I'm off to work on my department store for commerce and designing stuff for it ! Haha, bye !

This is going to be hilarious.

Its past midnight now and im still on my laptop. I said my goodbyes on skype at approximately sometime before 11. What have i been up to ? Well, I have this commerce project where we're in groups . I'm with Joanne, Sally, Tori, Danielle and Vivien. And no, this is not just an ordinary post. Never ever. Here's the catch.

I was meant to make two ads or as many for this department store that we named cinjosa danvito. Of course, im certain, that non of my group members would be reading this right now so its cool .So, basically I made 2 dodgy ads which i will show them . I'll ask for their honest opinion and I'lll see whos honest. Cause srsly, they look dodgy as . HAHA, cant wait to seeee . Despite the fact that I hate getting pranked on, its lovely to prank others.

Wish me luck !

Bye <3

Part 1.

Heeey ! It's been a long time, and i've said this so many times, but this time.. it really has been a while. In the meantime of my absence, I went on an American Cruise Ship, Had a Christmas Movie Day, went to a science excursion and just today, went to Taronga Zoo. Yeah, there are some other things but i reckon that the significant onces should be first.

Two weeks ago, I took off into an American Ship ( Radiance of the seas ) and lived on sea for 3 days, 2 nights. Omg, what fun . Not only did I make new Aussie friends or enjoyed the experience, I actually had a great time. There was rockclimbing, basketball /indoor soccer field, mini golf, swimming pools, Jacuzzi ( spa ) and buffets. Ofc, the new experiences that I earned from this trip were those like making new friends, leanring how to arcade in a game arcade, eating late at night, roaming around at night when its safe, staying in a hot spa for hours, swimming in salty water and many more. The most significant ? Me eating snails for the first time. Yes, green slimy things squirming on your plate . Nah jks, it was just these black chunks of so-called snail covered with sauce. As brave as i sound, i only ate one before regretting that i actually wasted a meal. I was in a formal restaurant on the cruise and they have the best food but yet again, there goes one lovely dish. Oh wells, rents and aunty ate the rest. HAHA.

Apart from making more daring to try new foods, Im actually into the habit of using hand sanitisers. You see, on the cruise, every metre you'd walk there would be an automatic hand sanitiser where you place your hand under and squirt, liquid comes out. OMGGG. So addictive. No joke. At first, I was completely hesistant in using them because my rents had an influence on me that they werent fulfilling their purpose of keeping your hands clean but actually just infecting it. Anywho, I-no,no- the whole extended family, ended up loving these things. Also, considering that I entered a notso formal buffet a thousand times, i had to sanitise my hands a thousand times before I enter. Ah, good times.

- - - - - - -

I was going to finish up writing about my vacay but it looks like youtubes stealing me away. I'm on youtbe and soon faceboook which alternatively means i willl never finish this post. So before I even forget about posting this later on in the night, I'll just do it now. For the end of this post and images, I'll be back later on. Have fun reading !

Cindy.
