pumpkin & chuck

remember the debate? a looooong time ago? about whether to get a cat. or a dog.

it has been resolved. :)

we got a kitten! ahhhhhhhhhhh yes. her name is pumpkin and she is by farr the most adorable thing in this whole universe. she has a weird habit though, of sucking clothes. doesn't that sound gross? it is. whatever. shes 3 weeks old, a domestic shorthair, and tricolour! apparently only females can be tricolour. interestingg..

ahhaha i was reading the kittens for dummies book, and guess how you tell if a cat is a girl or guy? you look at their anus. the girls anus resembles the letter 'i' and the guys' looks like a colon ':'

is it immature for me to find that amusing?? oh wells. so thats the 'pumpkin' bit. the CHUCK bit, im coming to that ;)

you know chuck norris right. the guy who does the roundhouse kick? well because of his tough guy image, people have been making 'facts' about him since 2005. they are pretty hilarious. eg:

“Chuck Norris does not read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.”
“If you have 5 dollars and Chuck Norris has 5 dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.”
“If you spell ‘Chuck Norris’ in scrabble, you win. Forever.”

those are some of my favourites. (: if you want to read the rest? type 'chuck norris facts' on google web search then press the i'm feeling lucky button. haha today really is the festival of immaturity.

backward bound!

i am back. from the monstrosity that is outward bound. well, maybe i'm exaggerating. it wasn't so much a monstrosity as a.....small discomfort. it was s worse than i expected, but better than i thought. does that make sense? :) let me recount the days.

day one.
we got onto the bus and started travelling towards the outward bound base camp in sai kung. then, we picked up our bags and walked down to the main hall. blahblah lecture on the values of OBHK and stuff then we found out, oh! we are KAYAKING FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK! at first i was life, omg sexy, no hiking. then we got into the water and had to practice capsizing. :O im so scared of drowning! it all started when i saw casino royale and vesper died in that lifty thing. then the counselors told us to pack 1 set of clothes and one spare shirt and change into our swim gear and put on our water shoes. we then set off in the kayaks towards a nearby beach. upon reaching the beach, we were appalled. it wasn't so much a BEACH as a small carpark like pathetic piece of concrete. with some cow dung charmingly strewn across. after we pitched our tents, we then started cooking. i know. ME? COOK? inconcievable! so yes. i concocted a tomato cucumber thingy and mel cooked some pork and wieners(hehe) and steph cooked some pasta! it was pretty good. :)

day two.
we had to learn how to pack up our stuff into the kayaks and we cooked BREAKFAST. then we kayaked to another island for lunch. this is where my glasses broke. tha's righ'. they BROKE. sucks. i had blurred vision for the rest of the day. i also got uber dupes homesick and wept. ): i couldn't even summon the energy to cook dinner. cried myself to sleep too. bummer.

day three.
we packed up early and got to our campsite 2 hours ahead of schedule. it was a pretty nice island. okay, VERY nice. the sand was cleeeean and soft and shells were everywhere! the counselors seemed to be in quite a good mood so they gave us the rest of the day off for free/personal time :) so me cel steph mel and nat sat on the beach for the whole day, laughing. it was like a TV theme song opening.

day four.
omg. today, we kayaked back to base. SHOWARHH. we have been in our swimsuits for the whole week. gross much. my sleeves were all stiff from the sea water. the mozzie bites on my feet turned into blisters that were rubbed by the water and sand in my shoes. my hair was stringy. i was not a happy camper. we touched ground and everyone wanted to dash to the showers but... STOP! we had to wash the damn kayaks. and unload the crap that we developed over the week. took TWO hours. then off we went to the holy grail, SHOWERS. we rinsed like 10 times and shampooed for ages. as a friend said"

this must be what sex is like.

honestly? i couldnt agree more ;)

day five.
WE WENT HOMEE!! lovelovelove.

so thats all for my OBHK journey. and really, i think i've matured a lot. i dealt with things and ATE things i would never have faced at home in the city. so yay.

what. the. hell!?

excuuuuuuuuusse me? we have so much homework!

1. Geography Essay on the changes of TKO (reminder: its a FORMAL ASSESSMENT)
2. Chinese Exam tomorrow about the stupid western district of HK and some other crappy text.

HOW WILL I FINISH? HMM? and to top it off, today was the open day of our year. that means my dear mother is/has meeting/met my teachers. oh i wonder what deep dark things they hath revealeth. because mommy says

horrors of horror! ): i hope its nothing too long. because like i have emphasized, i need to finish!

the teachers aren't organized at all. this assessment? due tomorrow, introduced today. what the eff? then the exam? told to us a while back, but the material we have to study? explained monday. how were we to study? who knows or cares, the teachers certainly don't.

oh and today, we had cross-country. you know, the thing i'm usually quite good at? hehehe well WHAT DO YOU KNOW? i suddenly can't run. for my life. i got 20th!?!??! thats 11 places slower than last year(8th)! the world has flipped. roar. whatever. gotta go write my ass off.
