I WILL NOT BUY SHOES
FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.
NO I WILL NOT.
I said this a month ago and I broke my self promise. Now I’m 100% sure I will keep this promise……. this is my 4th pair since September. GAH I HATE MYSELF. I’m just like my dad… he’s a shoe addict. He has many many unworn pairs of shoes. But I wear mine so I’m only half as bad.
0
In my defense they were on sale(like everything I buy!). $128 > $100 but now that I think of it 100 is too much for rain boots. BUT AREN’T THEY CUTE?
These have been on display since…… December BUT I told myself even though they are awesome it’s the end of winter or w/e and I won’t need boots until next year, thus I never bought it.
Which reminds me.. I want to buy a tokidoki shirt.
MOm had her canada day day off today so we went to Van to see a family doctor who would write my sis a recommendation note to see a specialist because of the bumps on her arms(that everyone has, come on). We went to 4 doctors…… 3 were on vacation(AT THE SAME TIME RIGHT!!!) and 1 had soooooo many people waiting for him because he was probably the only viet doctor not on vaca.
We gave up and went to oakridge to check outz hats. Plush called me and said they got new hats. I didn’t like them D=<. I RAELLY NEED A HATTTTTTTTTT OMGZ I think I’ll just get the smet one at BTB in guildford for 90$ though it is 20$ more than I’d like to spend. I give myself too much grief by being too picky.
Aritzia’s having a sale…. the adidas jacket I want is 55$, 5$ off only

Not a shopper at all!
Lately whenever I decide to go to the mall my mindset is “I need to buy clothes” because when I look at my closet.. it’s lacking HAHA.
Everything, except for ~2 things I got before I started to work—-which means my parents hvae bought for me. Before working, when I did want something my mom didn’t like I would NEVER be able to get it. It was all her. If it’s a “No” then my hopes of getting it were dashed, stepped on, and thrown away. This drove me to find a job.. I didn’t agree with my mother and I would again and again I’ll buy whatever I want when I get a job.
Ever since then…. 9 or 10 months of working I have bought 2 piece of clothing for myself, 3 pairs of shoes and clothes for my sis. I can’t BRING myself to buy anything. Too often I find myself picking at little details on clothing convincing myself otherwise. I’m picky and I can’t decide.
Next is nothing is really “nice” enough for me to buy.
On the rare occasion where I do like something, the price is too high for me . ie. Tokidoki shirt… 45$! The max I would spend on a tee is 30 or.. g star jacket… $250! Then I tell myself I’ll buy it if it ever goes on sale.
WHICH LEADS ME TO ANOTHER POINT which angela pointed out. Here, malls are everywhere and it’s easy to come back. If I were shopping in LA I wouldn’t have a choice, buy it or never see it again. Then I would buy it. *HERE’S TO HOPING I GO THIS SUMMER!*
I can easily spend on anyone else but myself and it kind of sucks.

Avg: 91.75%
(w/o provs)… TOO LOW! I’m going to have to work super hard next year… plus forte si je veux reussir.
These are my final marks:
Socials10 – 86
Eng10 – 87
Sc10 – 96 (w.o prov)
PE10 – 82
Fr10 – 98
Fr11 – 98
Math12 – 98 (w/o prov)
Planning10 -89
THe bolded are the marks that really matter on this rc. The math most importantly… at least it’s not LOW y’know. I need my 12 marks to be HIGHIGHIGH!
In my rc envelope I also got… Cayley math contest top 25%(I have the gauss too.. from grade 7 LOLS).. and the ad solem achievement thing which I also got last year. Sis got a 5$ tim hortons card for volunteer at the FHCF LOL!
Awards ceremony was 2 nights ago. I borrowed AL’s cardigan and wore a blue talula shirt and dress pants. Dad and I were soooooo bored at home for 8 hours waiting for it. WE had nothing to do. Dad busied himself watching tv, doing some garden work and picking cherries while I did nothing.
The ceremony itself was supposed to be 1 hour but it ended up being 2 hours. What amazes me is that some people can get multiple awards in such big subjects. One guy got like 8 awards………….. shit. As guessed I got the fr 11 award. Everyone who was standing in my row were good language students so yes. I think I might’ve been able to get top overal (M said hers was 92%??) IF I didn’t get a B. The requirements were “4.0 throughout the year” so I was immediately omitted from that. JP too.
After it all mom insisted we take pictures. We took like 7 family pictures(first inside.. then outside because it’s “better”).. and a couple pics of me and sis. We learned that mom SUCKS at taking pictures and using the camera. Instead of zooming in for the shot she moved closer. Our pictures were slanted and there was event a shot of the floor.
Mom’s always up her friend’s asses’ because she has an iphone thus she is oh so much more technologically advanced than them, yet she fails to use a simple camera. (ANYONE can use any camera at any given time because they’re all the same……) When dad tells her what to do cause she’s hopeless she yells at him because she can’t stand to be wrong. When we got home, mom was still pissed and dad was pissed because mom’s irrationally stubborn and they started to yell at each other…. very loudly.
I wish I’d gotten another award though. Try again next time.
P.S. mom said “You better at at least 3 awards next year, (to my sis) you at least 1″
My mom doesn’t get it.. it’s for TOp students who excel at certain subjects. For ex.. socials, math, english, the subjects that everyone HAS to take are even harder to get it in. ‘Cause 200-300 kids are taking those classes and you have to EXCEL way past them to even be considered for it. Mom doesn’t get it. She just wants bragging rights.
Sis filled me in on mom’s behaviour during the ceremony. “WHY DIDN’T JENNY GET THE MATH AWARD?? WHY IS HE GETTING IT? WHY DIDN’T JENNY GET ANY INFO-TECH AWARDS? she didn’t take it. SHE SHOULD’VE AND GOTTEN AN AWARD SO SHE CAN BE THE ONLY GIRL. WHY DIDN’T SHE GET THE SCIENCE AWARD” THis was how it was throughout 2 hours. I pity my sis and my dad, who, on the otherhand was watching attentively because he was actually interested, unlike my mother who just wants ME ME ME ME to get ALL ALL ALL ALL.
WOW to the only 3 people who got 4.0 throughout the entire year in my grade. WOW! only 3 I can’t believe it.

YESSSSSSSSSS
I looked at my schedule for this week and it says friday + saturday “TR FR”
O. M.G…………. IM TRAINING TO BE A FOOD RUNNER OMG OMGOMGOMGOGGGGGGGGGGGG YESYESYES I AM SO HAPPY YAYAYA.
^^^ this was the draft I saved sat. night 
HAHAH As you can see I was happy. I can only remember being this happy on two other occasions:
- finding out I’m getting in award ^_____^
- when W gave me “100 words to make u sound smart”
W, isn’t that great? Your book made me as happy as moving up at work or getting an award :$
Ma sis got the job for the PF/TH warehouse sale. I didn’t because of my limited avaliability. Of course she was super excited because a) it’s her first real job b)she got it and I didn’t…. but the joke’s on HER because she has to work 9 hours on her first day HAHAHA ouch. I remember working at AWS.. my shift was not short and my legs almost gave out. I don’t look back on those days too fondly.
Yesterday after work I was SUPPOSED to go rent a tv series dvd and watch it as I have nothing else to do, while mom and dad went to VAn to see the psychic lady + go to their friend’s house to help fix their marriage. Big stuff I tell ya’ (will elaborate later).
Anywho, instead of my relaxing evening lying on the couch, I had to go to richmond (by bus, POOOOOO) with my sis to show her the way there. It took ~1 hour to get to and we went to richmond centre to pass the time until my parents finished their business. We went in, went to the bathroom and the mall closed. Then we decided to walk to aberdeen…… walked, got lazy and believed the mall closed too so we waited for the bus. M + B.D picked us up later…….. went to eat at this chinese restaurant at fraser & 43rd or 46th. The rest is history.
PSYCHIC:
At work mom heard that there’s a lady that does some ritual thing so your house will be sold for the tender price of $600-700 depending on your situation. I later found out that she only takes 6-7 bills if your house has an unattractive factor that makes it unsellable. Ex. unfixable leaky condo. Apparently she told the owners that a viet couple with 2 children will buy it and they did. She only charged my parents $50 because there was nothing “unsellable” about it. She wrote this letter that my mom had to read in front of the house(she stood in front of the hosue w/o our tenants knowledge at midnight. A tad creepy isn’t it?), asking the owner of the land (spiritual stuff) to let them sell the house because “the owner of the land likes my dad and wants him to keep owning the house”. And she says the house will be sold this summer. I’m kind of skeptical………but not so much because it isn’t 600.
She also said if my dad decides to work “on water”, such as boating or fishing or something, he should be extremely careful or he will die. That’s a little……unsettling……….
Then my mom wrote down me and my sis’s bdays and she said: I will be successful/rich if I go into business. I asked my mom “what about being a doctor? will I not be sucessful?” and she said the lady said it won’t be bad, but I won’t have “loc” which is luck or something, meaning: I’d have to apply mutiple times to get into med school or into a residency program at the hospital, etc., which in turn will waste my time. All this becuz = Because I am “bold, outspoken, not shy” (lol……….uh huh)
Sis: should go into the medical field, because she is patient, compassionate, people person, etc. (everything that I’m not sadly LOL)”Y” in vietnamese. “even though she might not be keu tay (skillful? good with hands?), her medicine will cure people faster than others”.
Upon hearing this my sis and I looked at each other and said “WTF that’s so opposite!!” I planend to go into medical… and my sis business. I guess some of the tihngs she said were true though, my sis is more…caring and I’m more outspoken than my sis. Now we’re both considering the possbilities. What if we do follow what she says and………. not become successful then we’re screwed.
Oh here’s the kicker: neither of us will be famous.
NOOOOO my life is ruined
/sarcasm
Another note……….
Busiest day: 245 — Sunday, June 21, 2009
COOL!! Yesterday was my business day, and actually twice the # of ppl from the day before. Huh.

Can’t believe it
I wrote my math prov today. We had a limit of 180 mins and I took 170, though it only took me ~ 20 mins/prov during the practices. I finished pretty quick but it was obligatory.
After finishing the exam I went to centre court, where I found 4 people who finished writing it before me. They were discussing questions that they were stuck/unsure of. One guy was pretty confident. All his “maybes” were correct, as deemed by this other kid.
I got the logging question wrong. I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing it that way.
Q: There are 20 larch logs and 16 pine ones. 18 are chosen, what are the chances of having 10 or 11 larch logs?
My answer: binompdf(18,20/36,10) + binompdf(18,20/36,11) but none of the choices were right. I could NOT think of another way… but nick told me after it was:
(20 C 10)(16 C 
+ (20 C 11)(16 C 7) / (36 C 18)
At which point I wanted to kick myself in the ass for not thinking of it………..
Next I got the asymptote of y = 3cotx . I read my cue cards a billion times but each time I failed to look at the cotx graph properly. I *guessed* it was the same as the tanx graph but reflected over the y axis. So it was pi. I was outraged at my own stupidity.
That’s 2 wrong for sure *crosses fingers* here’s to hoping that those two are it.
I wasn’t too pleased with myself so I watched 4 episodes of HIMYM when I got home……… and ate…….. a lot……. *sigh* it’s too depressing to even think about. One more episode until I’m done season 1! Yay!
Sc prov on tues, awards ceremony on tues(which dad will get off work for! wooooooot!)…. work sat & sun. Apparently I only work fri next week. No sat *falls off chair* I haven’t “not” worked sat in…….. too long to even count.
I wonder how I did on my french + math exams (not prov)?

I don’t know why
girls have to take pictures with everyone in every class during or close to the last day of school. Why? I’m going to miss you so much during the summer! I have a remedy! ….. wait for it……….wait for it…………………makes plans to see them during the summer! *falls off chair*
It’s just an excuse to cam-whore.
I’m going to miss grade __ It feels the same as the next year NO JOKE!!.*
*does not apply to grade 12s
Question of the day:
Why is tae yang so hot?
Going solo was one of the best decisions of his(or his label’s) life. He has gained 92837592837589237589 girl fans and his fan base is almost as big as big bang’s (purely my speculation).
I never did notice him in big bang *guilty!*
**here’s a plus. his mini album’s name is “hot”

IF YOU AIN’T GOT NO MONEY TAKE YOUR BROKE ASS HOME
I’m kidding *scroll down to last bit if you wanna see*
The grad commencement at my school was last week? I looked at pictures and I saw ~10 kids got to wear a yellow sash thing. That was my conclusion because there were only TOP students with it. Those kids standing next to the non-sash just looked lame. When I grad I WANT a sash. I will work hard hard hard and to try to be one of them. Check back here in 2 years time!
Paris by night 98 is in September @ las vegas. I’m hoping mom and dad will go……….. the tickets aren’t officially on sale yet, but there are hotel packages already with discounts by thuy nga. I don’t know why you’d book tickets and other shii before you buy your tickets if the show is your sole reason for going. Thus, I am waiting for ticket information so the folks can go and have fun. (sans enfants!) I told dad and he seems like he wants to go. It’s on a weekend… sat and sun. Sat they’re doing the filming for the DVD et al. I think mom and dad won’t go alone.. they’d ask their couple friends to come along too and it’s going to be a big mess becaues then they’d all scramble to buy tix ensemble and it’s hard bevause the headquarters are in LA. Tix don’t come out 2 months before show apparently so I’m waiting till the end of july. $150 tickets weeeeeee it better be legendary HA.
Speaking of legendary…… I was home alone and bored ergo I watched 5 consecutive episodes of HOw I met your mother =’(. It was half awesome/pathetic (AND FUNNY LOL). I have to mention this… if you don’t want to watch every episode of every season, you HAVE to watch Ep. 15 season 1. It’s the story of how Barney became such a pimp. I don’t think I LOL’d this much for any show. Yea, believe it.
Sis and I are going to try hot yoga………. hopefully next week. The first week, introductory week is the cheapest so it hooks you in. $20 for 3 sessions in 5 consecutive days. Other times it’s 17$ for DROP IN. Crazy expensive.. hope it’s any good, then I’d try to do it weekly hehe.
I don’t understand the need for kids my age to be buying jeans(or any piece of clothing) from $200-400. That’s ridiculous………. people shouldn’t buy crazy expensive clothing unless
- your parents are BALLLINNNNNNNN
- you work for you own moola. > which means you can buy whatever they want.
- The exception to this is kids under 18. You can’t really get ANY job besides the typical fast food working min. wage…. and then you save and save until you make 400 to blow on jeans which will be out of style next year, and then you’d have to buy new ones.
- 100-150 is a decent amount for a good pair of jeans BUT on the higher end.
- ask any kid anywhere else and they’d say you’re mad. If you went back in time and ask your *current aged self* living in the 80s they’d say the same.
- it’s mostly asian people. *points finger*
- WHERE IS VALUE?
