mooooooon

tonight was a lunar eclipse! the total eclipse was at 7:59pm but i forgot about it, so looked at it at around 8 something pm, but you can still see it a bit, though it was no longer red like the newspaper said it was supposed to be. At first i didn't think there was anything different, except that the moon is especially bright, but after 4 seconds or so, it kinda glowed this blue light around the moon's edges... and being a person who just got a new pentax camera ( :D ) i got it out cos the newspaper said that using a digital camera on zoom was a good way to see it (yes i trust the sydney morning herald) and so i did, but the picture turned out pretty crap, so i decided to record it, and the blue light/rays of the sun which i guess was 'coming out' from behind the moon, became more obvious, and the moon seemed kinda black... it was really weird when i watched the movie playback cos the area surrounding the moon was glowing sorta alien-like! or should i say ghost-like! because incidentally mum said that today is the hungry ghost festival thing when apparently all the ghosts come out..

for those that's not used to chinese superstition - lots of weird things happen at this time (even made into this singaporean -or is it malaysian- movie called 'the maid', where the maid accidentally swept the ashes of the burnt offerings or something, then weird things started happening to her) yes anyways... mum even said 'don't go out' when i said i wanna look at the moon, but then she went out to see herself anyways... and somebody else also said that when you're walking on the streets at night, don't look back or something, cos you might see some... spectral being... yes ok getting off topic to a topic which i'm actually afraid of.

ok my first attempt at putting a video on this blog! it's the clip of the (partial) lunar eclipse :D whoa~ (apparently the next time you can see it in sydney is 2011 o_o)

*note: i'll put the video up when the internet is fast again, because it's uploading around 5kb per second, and there's 49 mb so.... if i was to wait, it'll take about.... 163 minutes!!!

ok. so wait until the first of next month when the speedy internet is revived.

miaow

i let biscotti sleep on the couch last night! since it was raining and i don't want to get the usual *nyeh!* of annoyance from her, which i get when i try to squeeze my hand between her neatly curled body to lift her and take her outside.
and this morning, i heard mama waking up at around 6 something, and saying "kok biscotti di dalem!?" (why is biscotti inside?!) hahahhaha but i was too tired to get up from my bed, so continued to sleep... until i woke up and it was 8:20am already!!! only 15 minutes till school starts! so rush rush rush and of course since i'm rushing, got no time for mama to question me about why the cat is inside the house hehe

amazingly, left the house at 8:28, arrived 8:38. just 2 minutes away from being marked late :D *yea!*


getting jap visa tomorrow! yay leave school early!

btw, it's science week at school! and there are three very science-y events going on:
guess the scientists - 12 pictures of scientists and have to figure out who they are. only have four to go! but someone else will probably finish it before us.
murder mystery - a girl died and a teacher killed her. clues (one released every day until friday) so far:
killed 4:30 pm on monday
murderer left a wet shoe print (high heels, size 5-6)
lipstick mark on tissue
blood and hair samples
shopping list
50c coin
so.... it's a female teacher who wears lipstick... (or a male teacher who pretended to be a girl?)
science show - in the main quad with liquid nitrogen (again) but not sure, cos it's been raining and plus might not be able to get the liquid nitrogen.

jaa mata

i hate englishhhhhh (still) Q-POT!!

as usual, escaping english task again... this time have to do an interview on "breaking away: is it worth the pain?"
i read an interview transcript i wrote last year, and was surprised by how relaxed it felt! i think the fact that i liked my english teacher last year and actually enjoyed the english classes helped me to do better... this year the teacher is good... but her presence just stresses you out! and her lavender scent doesn't help either.

anyhoo~
found this jap jewellery brand called "Q-POT" and i read that the designer started out selling in harajuku, but now has gone ultra famous! i would put up some pictures, but there's soo many and i can't pick (actually, here's some hehe), so here's the websites where u can see them:



www.q-pot.jp

http://www.viaalley.com.au/productlist/artists/231/Q-pot-by-Tadaaki-Wakamatsu/
http://www2.enekoshop.jp/shop/q-pot/Top

now thank me for giving you a reason to waste time online. it's ok.

waaaaaa i just realised the third website sells stuff in aussie dollars!!!!!! which means......it delivers *oh no.*
stupid me, it's an aussie shop!! and here's the address *gya~*:

Shop 2, 289 Liverpool St
Darlinghurst, NSW 2010
Australia

ok calm down.

a frustrating dialogue:

after somebody telling me that this schoolkid tore down our street sign, looking all pissed like he was venting:

"there's no sign on W------ St again"
"there's been a time before when there was no sign?"
"just then"
"but you said again"
"..."
"again means it's happened before"
"i don't get you."
"nvmind!"

*a shortened and summarised version.

anyways, learnt about imaginary numbers today. i i i i i !




*update - just realised that typing my address on the internet is really stupid so i bleeped the name out now hehe :D

and i just watched 200 pounds beauty - the korean movie about this girl who worked as the voice for this super popular singer but lip syncer ami. den bla bla bla she has operation etc and ends up being a singer herself
not as gay as it sounds. so good! one of the best korean movies since a long time (i think).
