Confirmed, mum going back on Sunday, so camp is still on for me ^___^ actually getting a little lazy for the camp, lol now i have no more excuses.
Ooooooooooooooo Dad just ordered my new mp3 player for me, $2999 NT approx $140 NZ. Excited, now i dont' have to carry this huge CD player that takes up half the space in my bag, oh~ and i dont' have to burn new CDs (which involve a lot of transfering files between the computers) YEAH~~~ *excited*

Going shopping with mum soon, buying stuff like butter and cheese to take back to tw, i always wondered y butter?? it's not like they don't have butter in tw. Is our butter better?? *shrug*

Ooooo i was driving home this morning, and on the radio, they were foundraising for a single mum who just been diagnosed with cancer (she's only got 1 or 2 years left) and her 2 children to have a vacation in DreamWorld Auz. The radio ppl were saying that they were not going to leave the station till they got the fundings, they started at 6am. and by 10:30am, they already got the $9000+ they needed @____@ in less than 4 hours. Not to mention the amount of ppl who were donating tickets, and vacation houses for the family to stay. Ppl in this community are so... generous...i am really touched.... Inspired by this I took a drive down Bucklands Beach (which is not related to anything) and the beach was sooooooooooo pretty today, the colour sea sparkled in sky blue, with boats floating...... oh~~ it was pretty..... yeah..me happy ^^

Ooooo i was very happy at noon when i measure myself and found that i was 0.2kg lighter than morning... and soon after i found it's coz i taken off my jacket........ lol........ that's one heavy jacket =D

holiday.....hm...... getting slightly bored....... bought soul caliber2 yesterday, was sooooo addicted up till this morning, as ppl know i am a shocking action game player, keep gettgin killed. oh well~ =S

Kathy came today for make-up session with emily... Louis and David came too... I was on msn talking with Hsuan, when David came up and wanted to talk to Hsuan........ lol... ok... something from that chatroom tell me that they dont' like each other very much...... oh well~~ anyway... Kathy looks very pretty tonight ^^ hope she has fun at the ball.

Mum might go back on tuesday........ that means no camp for me..... oh well~~ maybe i am just not meant to be in that group........ what the heck.

Bored, goign to read about fatland now........ enjoy ur holidays everyone

I am in a weird mood, happy and sad. Last proper HSM concert for me, feel kind of sad..... I always liked HSM concerts, even tho concert schedule was always busy for me, playing bassoon in all the ensembles, accompaning this and that, and on top of that i have to help to set up stands and chairs in between each item. but i like it, always feel like i've contributed something to work.. like i was a worthy member of the team, like i am doing my job well...
On the way home i actually kind of regret quitting the job, but then again, i thought of the reasons y i choose to leave, i guess it's the smart choice. I sure am goign to miss work. ='(
Ooooo you know.... sometimes it's really nice to have guys in the team... really, in previous years, we (3 girls) have to lift things, carry drums, all the heavy work as if we were strong men. BUT NOT ANYMORE, omg~~ it's like today Anthony and Josephatt carried all the heavy stuff (most of them anyway) and i was left to carry little things, makes me feel girly.... oh well....

Oooo first time Josephatt was at the concert as assistant, heheh he was actually really sweet today, gave me a ride to concert. And for the first time every, when ever i needed a chair or a stand, he was there next to me with one @____@. Really, ok.... all the tutors are meant to help out and stuff, but no one ever noticed that bassoon isn't exactly a very 'mobile' instrument, and no one expected an assistant to need an assistance (hm... maybe i am not that good at my job afterall) ANyway, my point is.. i was very impressed and thankful by the way he helped me out today... ^^ heheh thank you "little drummer boy".

Alexandra Chan is having her bassoon recital on 11th of sept 2:30pm at Howick Intermediate, please come and support her. She is practicing for her diploma degree, she is good, i know ^^ if you ever wondered what a good bassoon sounds like, come and hear it, it's free. ^^

Holiday~~ YEAH~~~ ^_______^
got 3 tests back already, er...... slightly disappointed with physic, but then i knew i screwed it up, and considering that i was never that great at physic..... oh... i guess it's not too bad. ooooooo btw, dimension analysis worked... hehehe next time if i happen to see mr. roddy at his breakfast in bed hotel, i'll say a huge thank you. hehehe

Make mental note, have to study phil and do phy lab report during the holidays. =P
but not now coz IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.

Finished phy lab in 1 hr today, so while waiting for emily to pick me up, (since i promised to go to the chinese doctor place with her) i bought a book..... yup..... very unlike me, but i did. Ok... UBS is having a huge sale, and since it seems like no fiction books are on sale (at least i didnt' see any) so i thought, if it's goign to be a fiction, it's going to be food related...... yea ok... i am a geek.... lol. yea.... so bought it's book called, fatland, lol... it's a best seller book :O and er..... it's about y our generations is gettign obese and stuff.... thought it'll be interesting.. heheh if i foudn out any interesting parts, i'll post it up. ^^

Ooooo anne's b/d tuesday, i felt so bad coz i didn't have time to get her a present, and i even saw her on tuesday. I told her happy birthday, and she waved back happily holding 2 plastic bags (full of presents i assumed) FEeeeeeeeeel bad....... maybe we should do something for anne this holiday, like a late b/d party or something. Ok...... coz obviously she wouldn't had much of a celebration coz it was so close to tests. and besides if we told her that it's HER b/d party, surely she can't tell us that she can't come :P what do you ppl think? (who am i kidding, by the time you ppl read it it'll be too late ) better make some phone calls tomorrow.

EnJoY uR hOlIdAyS eVeRyOnE!!! ^^

tired, annoyed, frustrated. Uni is Sooooooo sssStressful this week. 3 tests, 15%, 7.5% and 40%. argh~~ ok, 2 down one to go, but the last one is the scaries =S 40... argh~~~
ok... chem test, wasn't really prepared for all the definitions, but i think i come through alrite... hopefully...
physic was a shocker... it was long, and a lot of the time i had no idea what i was calculating. @___@ i even use dimension analysis for one of the questions coz that was the only thing i could think of (dimension anaylsis is like workign out the equation by the units, so like if you know speed is m/s, and distance is in m and time is in s, you know you have to divide distance by time etc) Oh yeah, i didn't finish one of the question (which i left blank and came back to do) it was somethign about initial speed of rocket for it to leave the earth's gravitational field. =S crap, dont' care, it's only 7.5% tho i dreamt that i got like 55% for the test last nite, THAT BETTER NOT BE TRUE OR ELSE!!!!

So yea.... last one bio........ ok, the ppl in bio department who design the course are so unreasonable. do they really expect us to remember like... 8 processes?!?!?!?! each containing at least 10 steps, each step include 2 substance and an enzyme. mind you those 'enzymes' have shockingly long names. and we have to know where those enzymes are etc etc etc.. ok, i dont' think i'll have time to sleep tonight.

oh yeah. yesterday after my test even though i was suppose to study, i watched oprah interviewing brad pitt =P can't help it, he is too cute to miss. And then in the middle of it, mum was like (hey. come up now, ur grandma wants to talk to you) -__________- ok, note i have ntohign against talking to grandma, she is very nice, and it's really nice to talk to her since we haven' done that for a while, but not while during an interview with brad pitt ="( oh well~~ at least the first half which i watched was really good.

Have chem lab in 30mins, and yes it's 1:30pm not 2:30pm now so i do remember it starts at 2 not 3 this week. hahahah i walk around uni this week, on any subject related to lab, ppl were like, remember, chem lab.... 2 not 3 =P lol, still can't remember i missed 1 hour lab last time... so unlike me..... ok... just so that ppl get the idea of how skeptical i am about getting to places in time... say if someone is goign to pick me up at 3, i'll start gettgin chnaged and stuff at 2 (even tho it only takes me about 15mins) and i'll walk around, watch random tv until about 2:45, and then i'll go and wait to be pick up 15mins before 3 (coz i dont' like ppl to wait) etc............. and yet i missed 1 hr of lab........ important assessment that cannot be missed without a good reason.. =S hm.........

Oh yea. anyone wants to be emily's model, she is running really short. it's professional photos =O and she'll give you a hard copy of all the photos, tell me if you are interested ok? holiday is coming up, it'll be an......... er........ interesteing experience... yup if unsure just ask tina ^^

ok, i blahed enough, more bio........ bye~

Had a weird weird dream last night, i dreamt that I and a bunch of 'historians' went into this really old, haunted looking mansion, and i found a really expensive artwork (ok, i woudln't really know, but in the dream i could tell it was original piece or something) and i hide it and started running away, all the other historians wanted the art work too and they all started chasing me =S wow, i was very selfsih in the dream =P lol

i am soooooooooo tired, i am still 2 lecture notes behind for bio. is suppose to do that now, oh but what the heck, am goign to stay at uni till lik 8:30pm anyway (emily have test tonight and i htought i'll be nice to stay here till then coz she is always so nice to pick me up after tests). =S yup definately have time to do it then.... that is if i dont' fall asleep =P

SOoooo lookign forward to the holidays, only 1 week left, one busy scary week tho :S 3 tests, dotn' know how i am goign to cope. And the worst of all, i haven't started preparing yet =S

Oh yeah. goign to TC camp with Angel. But i dotn' know where to hand in my application form, =S they are suppose to call me about the events, but noooo my name is just forgotten among the 5 other new member's application..... yea.... suspician that they did it purposely. ><>

Random fact: apparently the biggest brain damage during a car accident happens when ur seatbelt held u back, and the force 'filp' ur brain, rotating it upwards and back, and causes 'shear' or something (not sure about that world)
isn't it weird, i learnt that in physic today, PHYSIC, not BIO, =S doign this biomechanis, which is sort of interesting, but when the lecturer started talkign about 'heart' and stuff, i actully felt sick. hahaha, now i know that not doign humanbio 142 was definately a good choice for me. ^^

Well, time for more bio note wriite =S

GoOd LuCk To EvErYoNe'S wHo HaVe TeStS/AsSiGnMeNt

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN HISTORY, I HAVE HEATER IN MY ROOM!!! yup, well, cna't help it, today is FREEZING cold, and this 'new' room is 'freezing'cold. Honestly, i think the window can't close properly, coz i can feel a light breeze coming through.... oh well~~ at least i have a HEATER IN MY ROOM. ^^

YEAH~~~ NEW COUNTER, hope this one will have longer life than all the previous ones.... Kind of funny, other ppl's counter are like on 3000 + at least, and mine's on...er... 2...... hahahaha oh well, hope the number will increase. =D

Anyway went to the orch festival yesterday and heard Macleans College orch played.. hehehe they played really really well, ^____^ MC orch rocks!! They played Farandole, dave brubeck's "it's about time" and gladiator. ^^ Farandole is a really easy piece, i remember playing it in 3rd form at intermediate orch (yea.... remember back those days when intermediate orch still exist?? gosh i am old) ^^. Dave brubeck is a song our orch has been trying to play for SOoooooooo many years, i remember given the music in 4th or 5th form, tried it, and left it, next year, tried it and left it... lol.. According to Alex, Ms Wallace said "alrite, it's about time that we play this" lol (and the title of the song is called "it's about time" get it?.. nvm =P ) Oooooo and GLADIATOR, i was SOooooooo looking forward to listening to them playing it, but...er... the drums and percussion was a little over powering, oh well~~ apparently they coudlnt' practice in auditorium for like a month.... =S But never the less they did really well.... way better than the other 2 schools that i heard. ^^ hope they get in the finale concert. ^____^

Ooooo while i was there, i saw lots of ex-macleans. Alan Keegan was there, remember he was on a big OE and came back, now working somewhere to save up for uni, also saw William, Jared, Jane and Brent (sry, if i forgot to mention anyone)... Ooooooooo i shoudl mention that i went to the concert with Angel ^^ heheh, it's nice to hang around with her, hehehe, hope she comes to city more often.

Ok.... enough 'blah' ta ta ^^

I am bored. lol. yea.. i am sitting in the math computer lab room er. supposely studyign for my philosophy test tonite. Honestly, i think i know all that i needed to know for the test. But then phil is one of those test that careless mistakes can be fatal, yes i mean FATAL. one little mistakes could screw up the whole thing, and i dont' think they take carried errors. Oh well~~Lack of sleep last night, now i am sleepy and tired =S and still have a 3 hr lab before the test. Honestly. i hate having night tests, i am always tired and just want to get things done with... See i do a lot better during the exams than the tests in last sem. and the exams are suppose to be harder. argh~~ oh well~

Random fact... if i get less than 75% in this test, that's goodbye to A+... PRESSURE!!! ok ok... i should be ok, just. check the test about 1000 times and make sure i don't have any mistakes. Ha as if that's goign to happen.

Hm... there's lots of demonstrators in this rooms wearing very brightly coloured banners, i wonder if they feel stupid wearing those, at least they seem nice enough, in fact one of them taught me how to do graph on minitab last sem.

Oh i am bored.... chem lab seems so boring, Oooo add this and this and lets see if it makes ppt
-_____________- oh well~~ at least i have a very ncie lab partner MARCY ^^ hehehe oh that's 1 thing to look forward to.

Random comment, i just had a super super over sweet white choc mocha from starbuck today @____@ got a headache after that, thank goodness it's gone now, lol can't expect me to do a logic test if i can't think =P

Wow, this is one of the longest post i have done for a long time, and i am just rambling on and on on nothing.
on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
and on and on.....
i feel sorry for the readers.
which at this point i still have doubt about how many ppl actually read my blog
maybe i shoudl put up a counter again, but they always seen to die on me, or in teh previous 2 cases, i accidnetly delete them =P

Ooooo parents back yesterday, seems like they had a really good time. They love the cruise ship and stuff, apparently they had like cooking and dancing classes on board @___@ wow, how educational for a VACATION. lol. at least it's somethign to do i guess. Better than spending days on a cruise ship with nothing to do. Hey~~ we shoudl go on a road trip sometime, once more of us have full license that is.

I am wasting my free internet time. oh well~~ look at the money goign down~~ hahahaha
Ooooo and i showed my mum that stupid cert stat department sent me... and her reply was "what? only one?" -________________- what's up with her high expectations, i didn't even expect to get one at all.
Which brings me to another point, y did i choose science... thinking back to school cert, science was my 2nd lowest mark... i coudlnt done accounting and do great, couldv'e done music and do great. And this time... doign really well in stats, but its' like, i'll never ever need it again... oh what the heck. i am happy with my marks last sem and that's all the matter rite???? still wish i had done better at chem tho... so close ><

Wow~~ long blog~ Oooo got a new NZ passport, mum said i looks like a malaysian or singaporian on the foto -_____- yes i know i am dark. Cant' help it, i used to love sitting outside and just soak up the sunlight, and of course that's goign to reflect on my skin colour. lol besides, the more tan i am the less chance of getting skin cancer rite??? tho i'll probably end up getting cancer anyway, family gene. oh well~~

random fact: y guys go bold and girls don't
boldness are caused by cumulated toxin in the body, and when the body can't and rid of it fast enough, it excrete it in other means, suck as throught eh skin, and in this case when it's in the head, it kills the hair or whatever (ok, i've forgot scientific reason, but it's somethign along this line) yea. and girls dont' go bold, coz every month when we have pms, we get ride of some toxin.
hahaha, so there u go girls, give us some reason to tolerate it every month huh~ yup, we wont' go bold, well, at least have less chance of goign bold.

I shodul do some studying. lab in 50mins ><>
ok.. going....... hope i haven't scared what's left of my readers bored to death.
bye bye~

Random fact: i have wasted 14 c to update this blog =P

Went to Queen street for soundtrack shopping yesterday during my 1hr break. hehehe, 2 cds for $50 at Sounds. So i was looking through all the soundtrack, and found "the hours", "van helsing" and "braveheart". I know that the hour cd is hard to come by, so it was between van helsing or braveheart.... and what does lucy choose??? yea.... the one with pretty Hugh Jackman CD cover -_________- kind of regretting it actually. Even tho it was on my wanted list, the songs are way too repetitive. Admittedly there's 3 really great themes, but the composer over repeated. Like the same theme is played again and again throughout all the songs, without much variation at all. And even worse when the nice theme isn't playing, it just sounds like loud percussive noise.

"the hour" soundtrack is great tho, everything i expected it to be. Very classical, a little sorrowful, the piano tune against the quartet is just amazing. Great music to listen to when studyign tho, not too dramatic. ^^

Experment, failed =S I DONT' GET IT!!! Why is it so hard for stupid google thingy to find my website?!?!?! I mean, ok i typed in my name in the search.... and the closest thign i got was Hsuan's blog @____@ ?????? ok... if i recall, he has mention my name... not more than twice. So could someone explain to me how does his blog came up on the search of my name, instead of this blog? do i have to write my name everywhere????
oh what the heck, not like this is important..... i guess i am always good at being invisible, and even the internet recognise my super ability
muwahahaha
Invisiblity rulz~

Hihi ppl` I had 106 lab yesterday, and it's so stupid, we suppose to do electrophorosis twice (on different pH levels), and each takes 30mins. So we did the first one (we as in everyone on my side of the bench who is sharing the same electorphorosis) and we waited for 30mins, then we were about to start the 2nd one and realized we shoudl've done both of them simultaneously so we didn' thad to spent 1hr in total waiting -____- good thing we did the first one really fast, so the tutor let us do our 2nd one. So we ended up being one of the very last groups to leave.. oh well.... Oooooo mike did come and visit me during the lab which i thought was very nice of him (thank goodness i had my delays, or else i woudl've left way before he came). Oooo and since he parked his car at New Market, we gave him a ride, while waiting for Emily, he showed me how i can find his postgrad profile page from googles just by typing his name. So out of curiousity we try the same thign with my name.... and....er... well....apparenlty i am "still just a 1st year nobody that no one knows about" -_________-

Ok... REally, I have TWO webpages, and i can't find any of it on the web... hm.. maybe i don't use my name enough. Hehehe so here it is. Hi~~ i am Lucy Chen from Auckland. =P this better work. Ooooo while experimenting with the whole google thing, i did find lots of extrordinary ppl with the same name as me, outstanding teachers, some engineer etc etc... hehehe maybe i'll be one of those 'extrordinary' ppl one day. ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know what's getting to me. 2 of my fav movies Shrek and X-men have msgs about not judging ppl by what they seem all over the place, and what do i do? judge ppl before knowing them... I really need more discipline in this area. Hm.... if i dont' want ppl to judge me before knowing me, i should expect myself to do the same to other ppl.

Ok I've been having vivid dreams recently. When i say 'vivid' it just means i can remember my dreams when i wake up (which normally doesn't happen). It must be because Emily and i have been sleeping on parent's bed since they've been out cruising... lol we do that all the time. Well parent's queen size bed is just too tempting, not to mention they just got a very nice new bed not too long ago. So yea, sharing a bed with someone, surely I would've been affected by it, and probabily resulting in not a very deep sleep, that's prob y can i remember my dreams and stuff.

Anyway, last night i actually dreamt about Honour, it's weird, i think I was lining up in a warehouse place for something, and suddently saw Honour lining too with her mum. Dont' really remember what happened after that, but i remember her hyperactiveness =P lol Oh~~ Honour I miss you *hugs*

I am on such a soundtrack craze atm @__@ want to buy so many CDs,
Let's see there's

• "A Beautiful mind", by James Horner( the best composer of course) ^^ I know Howard has sent me 3 songs out of the CD, but I love those songs so much that i decided to buy it. THo this CD is incredibly hard to find, so if anyone see it anyone. LET ME KNOW PLZ!!! ^^
• "The Hours" by Philip Glass, just watched the movie last night, and the piano music with the strings on the background is just amazing. Emily doens't like it tho, she thinks that the music make ppl go into a deep sad mood. Heheh but that's y i love soundtracks, I love how it sets u up in a particular mood. hehehe
• "THe last Samurai" by Hans Zimmer, another great composer and yet i haven't got any of his album, hm... i'll either get this one or the gladiator. have yet to decide
• "Van Helsing" Alan Silvestri, adventurous with heavy drum beats, many too 'noisy' for my liking, but I do like some of the music as i was watchign the film. Besides, there's a pic of Hugh Jackman on the CD cover =D
• "Pirates of the Carribean" by Klaus Badelt. Not so sure about this one since i have downloaded quite a few songs from it. but nevertheless I love the famous main theme.

Hm.... that's all for now.... my want to buy list =P yea... i knwo it's a lot, but just wait till i walk into a 'sound store' and start flipping all these soundtracks in the graps of my hands. muwahaha, after that, who knows how long the list is going to be. ^^

Random Quotes

This one is from x-men evo, the cartoon,

"Scott: Logan, have you ever...you know...really cared for someone? I mean, you felt it so strong you couldn't even get the words out? -

Logan: Yeah, once. Most beautiful bike I ever saw. I was so speechless someone else bought her.
Scott: The problem is, how's the guy supposed to know if the girl feels the same way?

Logan: Look, here's how I see it. I'd like to finish this job before New Year's, so if you don't tell her...I will! "

Hahaha, so typical of Logan ^^ x-men is cool~ it's on Cartoon Network at 10pm everyday, also at 12 noon, but i guess no one can see that one. Hope season 4 will be on soon.

Ok, this is the convo i had with hsuan referring to his msn name

There are actually nutcases out dere tat believe da matrix exists!!! :becoz.. i m Christian and the bible say it doesn't
Vivi Strikes Back~ :just becoz u r a christian doens't mean u can't accept the fact that there mite be other possibilities out there
There are actually nutcases out dere tat believe da matrix exists!!! :it is becoz i m christian, tat i no the truth, tat all other views r wrong
Vivi Strikes Back~ :so for someone who believes in matrix, all other views are wrong, including christian views! sometimes truth is just what you perceive is. i.e. everyone will have a different. doens't make everyone else's wrong
There are actually nutcases out dere tat believe da matrix exists!!! :sorri lucy, we call this post modernism...acceptin all views is wat we do to avoid but i m tryin to save ppl from hell here
Vivi Strikes Back~ :r u??? how do you know there is a hell for you to save ppl from??? i am not saying that u r wrong but dont' you think u shoudl be more open minded about ppl's beliefs?
There are actually nutcases out dere tat believe da matrix exists!!! :becoz i look at this world, and i no they r going to hell. i m sorri, i used to b like but i was told by my pastor... tat i should persists and force the truth to ppl

Ok i am not tryign to be anti-Christian or anything, but sometimes their ways are so aggressive. I know they meant no harm, trying to "save ppl from hell" But sometimes they should really have a more open mind about what ppl believe in. The world is a mystery, who knows exactly what is right and what is wrong. Every religion think their religion is the right one. What i am tryign to say is that some ppl really should just accept that there are many different religions that exists in this world and let them be. P.s. Hsuan this i not directed at you, or anyone for that matter ok, I know u r just doing what u are told. Just like a soldier can't be blames for wrong decision made by a general etc.
