Stars

Today, I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and it was just really really lovely to read.
I'd express it with a number, but I'd worry if the infinity I said was too small or too large, because some infinities are larger than others.

K-Pop Music Fest in Sydney

These past few days have been, like, wow :')
I was lucky enough to win a competition that gave me entry to the K-Pop Music Festival in Sydney Rehearsal on Friday, so I took my friend there. We all lined up, and suddenly heard SHINee's Lucifer and Hello. Which was good, because we could hear them singing LIVE, but bad because they'd already started to practice.
FINALLY during Goodbye Baby by Miss A, we were let into the stadium. We took our seats and enjoyed a few hours of rehearsing, and the artists waved and greeted us in their microphones and it was like WOWOWOWOW.

The next day arrived. Saturday. Potentially the best day of my life.
My friends and I arrived at Olympic Park at midday and enjoyed the games and activities and entertainment and Chonny from YouTube until we began to line up at 4:30-ish. The line was sooo long, but at 5:20 we were all let in. Security was tight- our bags were searched and drinks were taken away, but it was totally understandable.

As the start of the concert neared, the MBC advertisements on the screens disappeared and we were entertained by shots of the crowd, which was really funny. There was one middle aged man holding up his iPhone that had SNSD's 'Gee' lyrics scrolling across the screen. Then the countdown. We all went totally crazy.

The concert kicked off with the hosts, Tiffany and Yuri. Then Taemin danced really well. SHINee performed Lucifer, Hello and Ring Ding Dong and Minho looked even better than he does on the computer (I know, I didn't think that was possible either!).

The night went on and CN Blue was amazing (when are they not!?) and EVERY SINGLE group was so so so terrific and TVXQ did the final performance and I just felt so happy, to know I was watching the real life Changmin and Yunho.

At the end of the concert, all the artists came on stage to say goodbye so my friend and I rushed as close to the front as we could, and I held up my Minho sign as high as I could, and he waved! I totally melted. BTW, I cried when SHINee was performing. They were just spectacular.

Babbling + Aesthetics

After next Wednesday, I will actually smile so hard that my cheeks go red. AAAAHH! Exciting! But really, I would like to say a few things.
Not really, because I don't know what to say... How about my personal taste in fashion- what I think is awesome and people should try! Just because I have spare time.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
I absolutely love wearing dresses, and seeing people wear dresses- they're fun to wear, colourful, and are so great at expressing moods and feelings.
What I like in not just fashion but also decorating houses and things is to relate colours- pinpoint colours and accent them. In this photo on the left, I've designed a simple yet absolutely adorable dress outfit. I accented the colour of the ribbon onto the shoes and the purse.
The Jungle Book

This is actually an outfit that I have at home, although since I don't have khaki converses, I wear sailor shoes instead. It's comfy and youthful. I'm a big fan of stripes, since stripy tops pretty much get thrown on top of everything in my wardrobe. Denim jeans, use stripes. Black jeans, use stripes. Denim shorts, use stripes. It's really convenient actually. But maybe not on top of even more patterns.

One Winter
This is an outfit I wear SO often during winter. Half of it is made up of things I've 'inherited' from my mum. I have a really lovely holey cardigan in the dark navy colour, and I usually wear a simply shirt underneath it. Then I wear black slim jeans underneath with black Converses, and an old brown leather bag- the kind that goes across the body with the long strap.

So that's the kind of thing I like. And the last two outfits I actually wear. Unfortunately, I don't have such a cool retro A-line dress like the one in the top outfit I designed, but it's the kind of thing I would wear if I could.

And yes. That's that.



Growing Up

I bought my senior uniform last week (or maybe the week before that) for school, and I was quite surprised that I was going into Year 11. It feels like a few months ago that I was in Year 7 thinking, 'I don't get to wear the senior uniform for AGES!' but now here I am three years later thinking, 'I'm going to be wearing the senior uniform next term'.
Quite scary.

And to think that in about 2 years I'll be in University! And then I'll have a job! And next I'll move out of home and flat with some friends! Overload? I think so.

For now though, let me just say this. Hopefully in 3 days time I will be sitting the RTA test that will let me get my L Plates to drive.
Yeah, I should study for that.
And study for Yearly exams.
And shop.
And get ready for the Formal.

I'm not busy at all...

Pitiful

So I'm listening to some lovely Bach Preludes and Fugues, and I hear a very nice interpretation, so I look at who I'm listening to, and there we go.
Konstantin Lifschitz.

Does anyone else think he has possibly one of the most coolest names out!?
I think it's absolutely awesome. Personally. In my opinion.

If that was my name, I would totally put my surname on my Year 12 Jersey. Life would be great.

Lookin' Good

So.
Can I just say a few loverly things that might interest you, and might not?

(1) I have another blog- visit it at http://speaking-simlish.blogspot.com/ 
This blog is all about the Sims 2. Because that is one of the best computer games EVER invented. In fact, the whole Sims franchise is totally brilliant. Speaking Simlish only has 2 blog posts as of today, but hey. If you're interested in random things about me playing the Sims 2, check it out ;)

(2) I will squeal and hop around and smile like a 12 year old JB fan at 3:21pm on the 11th of November. Why? BECAUSE by then, I would have finished both my School Yearlies, AND School Certificate exams, AND the next day is the Kpop Festival in Sydney Concert (omgomgomg) AND on the 18th I have an excursion and Formal. What a moment to capture in time.

(3) I'm learning some really cool pieces on the piano: Bach Prelude and Fugue in C# Major (from Book 1), Beethoven Sonata in... let me get back to you with that one... it's The Hunt, and two Chopin etudes- Black Keys, and the Revolutionary Etude. Oh yeah. Muso's are going crazy right now.

(4) Only 7 more school days until the holidays! I have to study in the holidays... but still! Holidays!

And yes. Let's hope I do well in everything :)

One Day of Many

So you might have realised that I haven't touched this blog for a little while.
You know. Same as usual. I've had things to do, places to go, people to meet.
What can I say? I'm a sought-after kind of girl.
Within the last 3 or so months, what's been happening? WELL!


I had my AmusA piano exam. And passed. Wooh!
I've had my 8th grade violin exam. And passed. With a C+. But a pass none the less.
I bought my senior school uniform because I'm a big girl now. :)
I've gotten a heck of a lot of work to do for school :(
I've entered my initial subject choices for next year, although they're still to be confirmed. Shall I tell you what I chose?
Advanced English
Extension Maths
Music 2
Society and Culture
Business Studies
Biology


So you'll see that I have quite a variety of subjects.
Mainly because if I could, I'd do every subject because they're all so good, and secondly because I have no idea what I want to be when I'm older.


What else I did recently was, I had a shared 16th birthday party with my best friend Christine Morgan. It was at night and we had dinner and decorated pillows and danced and things. It was really fun, and I got really awesome presents, which is in all honesty, what we all look forward to.


Speak to you all later, and let's hope it's not another 3 months until the next post!
