Liesl: Long-Awaited Update

Ok, so Kine and I are planning to go apartment hunting soon. Stephanie may be sharing an apartment with us as well, so we'll be looking for a three bedroom apartment. That may be hard to find though, so Stephanie said if we can't it's alright.

My grades aren't fantastic this semester... no As for midterm. Just B+ for history class, B for sculpting class and I don't know what my grades for the other two classes are yet, but I have a feeling I'm getting a C+ for drawing class (I explained this before). I have no idea where I stand for Maya class because the teacher hasn't even given us our progress grades for the first quarter of the semester yet.

Anyway, it's a week of spring break now, and I'm planning to relax, have fun, and probably practice gesture/ head drawings and stuff. Yesterday I went to Ocean Beach with my friends. We didn't swim, cuz it was wayyyy too windy and cold. Haha! I did put my feet in the water, and it was really icy. We played ball games instead, like baseball, football and soccer, etc. I might have gotten a little bit of a tan. =P

By the way, daylight savings occurred last week, so now SF is back to being just 15 hours behind Singapore. =)

OPERATION

This operation was on my STY that was on my EYE, hey! That ryhmed! =D Anyways, it left a "scar" on top of my eye which I like, because it makes it unique! ^_^ My sunday school teachers, Aunty Sharon and Uncle Kester, were there too! Because Aunty Sharon once worked at that hospital, and she gave me a piggy!!! XD

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

Fire Drill!!!!!!!!!!

There was a fire drill in my school!!! Firstly, the Ambulance came... followed by the Civil Defence... and than the Police. There was this girl, who was pretending to cry and ran to the general office and told the principal that "there was a fire in the Science room!!"... I saw it because my ankle wasn't fully recovered yet... so I was left in the general office!!!!! With another girl who had recently vomitted... -_- later on, we were brought to the library to be "safe" so that we won't get "burned" by the fire... -_- they were trying to be all real and that... oh ya! There was this camera man who was video taping a "Mom" hugging her "Child" when it was actually a teacher hugging a pupil! O.O
Like as though the "Mom" was ssoooooooooo WORRIED for her "Child" until must be ssooooo dramatic! -_- Anyway, there was this other "Mom" who was looking for her "Child"... unfortunately her "Child could not be FOUND" so the "Mom" was like sssooooooooo worried and she said, "Where is she? Where is SHE??" until a teacher had to "calm" her downnnnnn... =.= they had to make it SSSOOOOOOOOO real until they had to put fake blood onto the pupil's to make them look like they were hurt and they make them lie down onto the floor... and alot of them said it was SO FUN sitting on the stretcher when the paramedic's came!! =P The other pupils were supposed to wait at the HOT courtyard for like 3 hours? But instead they got bored and the teacher ALLOWED them to watch Spongebob Squarepants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =_= Then the teacher got really angry and said, "You know that actually were're supposed to stay at the HOT courtyard for 3 hours??????? But we were kind enough to let you watch Spongebob Squarepants in the air-conditioned hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know if this was a REAL emergency, we could have evacuated to Tao Nan School!?"... and then it ended like THAT!! :P

global warming newsletter

There have been a number of instances over the past couple of weeks when i felt the urge to report significant and somewhat exciting events on this blog. For instance, a while ago i was riding the elevator up to my floor when it suddenly halted to a stop somewhere between the 18th and 19th storey, thus FINALLY giving me the opportunity to press the emergency call button from inside the lift. Another significant milestone would be the completion of my lit and psychology essays, which doesn't sound like much unless put within the context of the 6 other assignments i have to do by the end of the month.

I should also probably mention that elisabeth is in town with her parents till Sunday, and when she arrived on thursday she contacted me and we met for dinner yesterday. She also slept over in the apartment, which was awesome and fun.

But the only event that finally got me to sit my lazy ass at the computer and type out a proper blog entry is this last one. Which just happened 30 minutes ago and in fact, is STILL going on right now.

So at about 1 o'clock i'm at the computer talking to some friends on msn and the weather seems to be nice and warm today. In fact, it's actually almost hot. I look out the balcony and see billows of dark smoke coming from a building far away, and at first i think it's a stupid factory releasing its exhaust gases into the atmosphere, so i call the company a bunch of shitheads and roll my eyes at its environmental apathy. Then I realise there's a possibility it might be a building ON FIRE, because the weather is pretty hot, and these random fires are pretty common in melbourne during summer. The more i think about it, and the more i stare at the building from where i am, the more i begin to think this is a more likely explanation for the smoke. Plus i've never seen smoke coming from that building before, and it's situated in the melbourne university campus area, which means it probably isn't a factory.

Anyway, I kind of ignore it because hey, I'm sorry, but there really isn't much I can do about it, and i continue to do my own thing. Even though it's only about 2 in the afternoon, the sky starts to turn a little dark and cloudy. I'm not exactly caring at this point because the weather forecast did predict rain and/or thunderstorms today. So yeah.

Then my retarded neighbour who lives in the apartment directly under mine starts smoking at his balcony (in case i haven't mentioned this before, this is something i realised 2 weeks after moving in. That my neighbour is a smoker and ALWAYS goes out to his balcony for a smoke at some point during the day), so i slam the balcony door shut just to prove a point, and i continue working at the computer. Then it starts to get stuffy in the apartment, so I open up the balcony door a crack and sniff the air just to make sure he's stopped puffing. I immediately notice the temperature is like 10 degrees cooler, and it's getting really windy and cloudy. I'm like, whoa cool, if that building is still on fire, it would be freaking convenient if the rain came now.

So yes. I'm sitting at the computer and i hear what sounds like rocks falling against the top of the building next to mine. It's really really loud cos the roof of that building is made out of some kind of metal and crap. So i walk out to the balcony to see what the heck is going on, and notice that the rain is approaching. I don't know about you but i've always loved to watch rain advancing towards where i am. It's thrilling. ANYWAY i'm like oh yay let's watch the rain come. But the raindrops i can see from where i am look weird. The drops are not tiny and numerous. They're EXTREMELY visible. I'm squinting and staring and suddenly, freaking HAIL starts falling on the balcony floor.

I'm like freaking out at this point so I jump back into the room and shut the door and the hail just starts going and going outside. The sky turns totally foggy and white and i can't see anything, not even the buildings next door. and yeah i got so excited i ran to the room to get my camera and managed to snap some shots of the hail before it completely melted on the balcony. i'll upload those later.

Anyway needless to say that building isn't emitting weird smoke fumes anymore. haha plus i can't even see the darn thing from here anymore. whatev. It's just raining really heavily now, and i can hear ambulance sirens from here whoa. yeah. so.... that's all. i thought it was cool. i'm going to start doing my work now. photos LATER.

Broken Leg :-(

Hello everyone, bad news... I twisted my ANKLE!!!!!! =P

How did it happen?
I was walking down the stairs when it was time to go home and then suddenly, I felt like my left leg was floating in the air when I fell down and sat on it! =P
The bus uncle helped me go to the bus and I was practically LIMPING!!!!!

What happened after that?
The next day, I wore slippers to school. (We were allowed to wear slippers to school if our foot was hurt) So, I took the lift! (That was the only good thing about getting hurt... ._.) At home, I thought it was fine, so I was ~ walking and leaping ~ until my foot got hurt again! =P
So, tomorrow I'm going to school with a bandage on my leg! =P

Was it fun taking the lift? =P
Well... ya I guess? =P
But what really surprised me was the fact that SO MANY girls going into the lift was in the same condition as ME!! Somemore, there was a small girl with CRUTCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!! D=
