Queen

I overheard a science professor on the bus today talking to one of his students about research on the Drosophila fruit fly. The professor called it the Queen of Genetics.

Kind of made me miss biology, and chemistry a little. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing in Commerce. Granted, I do enjoy economics. Finance is just gag.

Anyway, I overheard 2 girls talking to each other, and one told the other how she teased her boyfriend about his dandruff once, and a year later he gave her a 200g bag of his dandruff.

He collected his effing dandruff.

She thought it was sweet. But super gross.

I just gagged.

The End...

!!! HSC IS OVER !!!

!!! HSC IS OVER !!!

!!! HSC IS OVER !!!

I know, it's a bit late, wtf, but I've been a bit lazy lately and I really didn't want to do this post. Maybe its one of those sentimental things. Anyway, I finished my LAST high-school exam of my LIFE yesterday, 3u maths. It is so weird never having to do a maths paper again! wOOt! Anyway, here's my calender, marking off the lastest day of my high-school life:


Yes, I really am that anal. Don't ask. Well I wrote up the timetable in like May or something. This year was quick and slow. Strange. I am really finished. ALL MY EXAMS! I swear! I'm not lying. LOOK! Here's more proof:


HAHAHA. I know LOL! CAKE isn't much of evidence but WHATEVER TREVOR. This is my official HSC-is-over-cake, tiramisu with overwhelming amounts of creaminess. I think I might just be over cream.

It is so strange though, this feeling of never having to go back to school ever again. It's especially weird for me since I've been going there for 12 years straight. It's SO STRANGE! No more guilt over wasting hours on Digg or chatting away into the early hours of the morning, or going out with your friends and not having to study......

Never again will I walk through those weird halls at MFIS wondering what people think about me and getting weird looks from people and annoying comments from the juniors (that make me wonder what they really think, but should I really care?) to walk in to the class worrying who will be in there because I can't deal with everyone in the class very well (on the inside anyway) and fake it if I see people I don't want to see (which are not the people you would think; I hated seeing people I most wanted to see. Life's complicated...) and sitting down at a table wondering what this day will be like. Never again will I be able to annoy teachers just for the heck of it (and get away with it most of the time XD) or have paper ball wars (not that I took part in most of them) or rubber band slinging paper thingy wars (which I totally took part in; adding sticky tape to the paper made them lethal) or listen intently to seriously pointless gossip (which I REALLY enjoyed and a lot of them time was the centre of LOLL). Never again will I stand be part of the barbaric canteen line (seriously horrible) or skip class (to feel cool even though it was so damn easy) or try to get teachers fired (it was only once! I'm not evil) or be part of something amazing like muck-up day (link) or just be so damn care-free.

Never again will I have so much fun. I hope I'm wrong!!

Au Revoir CHEMISTRÉ!

I had my final HSC chemistry exam last Wednesday. Yes. Tragedy. It went really well, 'cept I mixed up propanol and butanol. Totally lame. Ah well. Anyway, to rub some more salt into my sadistic wound, that (on LEFT) is what the enthalpy-thingy graph is for an exothermic reaction. Damn pricks. That's just plain evil.

Hope I get 98+.

First in the state would be nice. XD.

NOOOOO! No more chem!! *Cries*.

Here are my chemistry-related posts, for old-time's sake:

• My speech.
• My uber-lame jokes.
• Finishing my notes.

Sayonara ENGRISH!

Yesterday I sat the last English exam of my life! Goodbye, oh worthy adversary! The long hours I spent analysing banal texts, the tediousities of creating beautifully flowing paragraphs and the wristache and cramps your endurance-sports of exams gave me will be sorely missed.

In a strange way, that's half true.

Let's just say I hope it went ok, and that rhymed so I feel fine, and on the 19th of December, all Hell will be torn asunder and my life will either be, most glorious or deathly free and I give up trying to rhyme, it's much to hard you see!

Anyway. During the exam I had:

1. Tonsillitis
2. Major headache
3. Diarrhoea
   
4. Stomach cramps

Yet I struggled away for 2 hours to finish my damn essays, my body cursing me for putting it through such anguish. "FREE ME FROM THIS TORTURE!" I cried to myself, "Release my contents!" my bowels begged. Hopefully it all pays off. *Fingers crossed*.

Slowly, slowly, a few more days until BONFIRE NIGHT!

Goodbye Huckleberry Finn! Goodbye Ovid and Wordsworth! Goodbye Charles Foster Kane! Goodbye Antony, Cleopatra and Octavius Caesar!

P.S. I think I made up like 10 words in this post...

Graduation!!

I have officially graduated from High-School!

FINALLY, after 12 years in the same school, Malek Fahd Islamic School, it was graduation time. I cannot properly describe the emotions going through my mind on that day. I'm still a bit confused. I'm so happy, so sad, so nostalgic, so remorseful, excited, scared...

I'm gonna miss everyone so much!!

Graduation was SO awesome. Seriously this was the best graduation our school has EVER had. Usually they just hold them during the day and its quite uneventful, but this year it was at night, in the school hall. It was a completely official event, tickets handed out to parents, security, professional photography, the lot. It was SO awesome!!!

First I went to the school to pick up my robes. I put them on, and then I went with Hamjaneeh to get the professional photos done. And then, it was INSANITY time!! I went NUTS taking photos! I've never been much of a photogenic person, but I WAS NOT about to let my GRADUATION go unrecorded. Total cam-whore time!

I was so HAPPY! I was ecstatic, elated, drunk with joy, WHATEVER metaphor/saying you can think, I was just so excited. There's nothing quite like a high-school graduation with all your friends. It makes me slightly sad...

Well. At least I recorded it all HAHA. When we were waiting at the back, I was jumping on everyone and taking photos with EVERYONE MySpace style. I never knew it was so much fun!

Here's Ahmed and Ahmad, respectively. Yes, me on the right, and one of me bestest bestest friends on the left. I asked someone to take a photo but we weren't ready so it turned out funny. I love these candid shots! Watch for more of Ahmed's pics later. TOTAL natural cam-whore! He has the BEST poses!!

Here's me on the left with Kak. I LOVE this photo!! It's so cute. I look insanely happy. Like I'm on crack. LOL! Happy times are good. We have a such a strange history, but he's a super cool guy! Will miss him heaps!! Is it just me or does it look like we both have perfect teeth? He had braces!! I'm just naturally hot ;D

I'm totally creeping up on Wassim here. I look slightly disturbing, but I really like this pic! I can't put a finger on it. On maybe it's three fingers. Three fingers bent on Wassim's shoulder. In super creepy pedophile sort of way. Righto...

First photo I'm not in! Hamzah and Sayed doing CREEPO poses!! SCARY!

Dudeee. We're like totally too bored to even be here mannn. *Snort*.

Yay! A nice pic! Me and Fatih!

Haha, Karnib is SO tall and skinny it's SCARY. Gotta love that guy ;)

I was so busy cam-whoring outside that I didn't even realise that we were waiting for something to happen. The teachers opened the back door to the school hall, and then everyone started moving in. I was going WTF? and just followed the crowd. Turns out we were walking into the hall which was already full of parents, and this was like some kinda opening ceremony. ZOMG I had no idea!

IT WAS SO KEWL!!

We had the whole ceremony. First it started off with us being called up one by one onto the stage to receive our certificates and our gifts. It was so kewl. I was taking pictures of people (duh.) I got some good ones:

Here's Nahyan getting his certificate. WOOHOO GO NAHYAN!!

ZOMG. EVIL PRINCIPAL!!

Then the school captains did their speeches! I was a bit upset over that whole issue but I'm SO over it now. Go Kak! His speech was SO good!! I was so surprised that he did it so well! Hehe. It's a traditional thing where you say a little thing about everyone, and reminisce over the old times. It's really funny!

Then he got to the part when he said (in front of ALL the parents) that I (ME! Innocent 'ole ME!!) was a sneaky deceptive person who put all my intelligence to sneaky bad uses. HAHAHA. It was SO hilarious! And absolutely true mind you. Except that now all my friend's parents don't trust me anymore. Ah well. Schools out anyway. *Sob*.

Anyway after that we had food. It was really nice actually!! Heaps of chicken and pasta, creamy garlic sauce, beef; lots of Lebanese style food. It was SO good. And then they took out the cake!! YUM! Graduation cake! One bite and your shackles are BROKEN!

FREEDOM!!

Then I went and sucked on the helium tank and took more photos:

Here's my class, sitting down (quite a rare event) happily posing for my camera. I LOVE my class so much. We have very good dynamics with each other, most of the time anyway, and everyone's personalities are usually cancelled out. Harmony. NOT. Mind you, the girls outnumber us like 20 to 1.

LMFAO! Ahmed is such a POSER!! HAHAHA!

Looky look! Most of our class!!

Me and Sufyan!! My BFF!! *Dies at lame tween-girl reference*. Seriously though, total best friends forever, I've been his friend since Year One. That means TWELVE FRIKKIN' YEARS OK. DON'T MESS!!

Omar!! YAY! This is a really nice photo!

He wanted a personal photo with me and I very willingly obliged! All these photos turned out SO good! I discovered the secret!! Take at least 200 photos, and you'll get at least 100 good ones!!

Then Satan possessed Omar. I lost all hope.

Group photo with the Crew! Too bad my FREAKIN' EYES ARE CLOSED!!

Me and Rai!! Did I mention that she poured coke on me?

Dom and Anna!! Smirking at the camera AGAIN! Hehe :P

My music teacher, Mr Oblikov. He really doesn't fit into the school because he's such a nice guy. Really different. I wonder how he tolerates the insanity. Must be the music. He plays the cello beautifully. I used to come early in the mornings to hear him play.

Aha! Ms Mahmic!! English teacher who DOESN'T FRIGGIN' AGE. She looks exactly the same as 10 years ago, no joke!! Don't know how she does it...

I'd love to post more pictures but I REALLY can't be bothered. After we took all the photos, it was really late so we had to go home. I managed to convince my mum to let me go to Hamzah's place!! And Sufyan did too! So we all ended up at Hamzah's place at grad night. FUN!

I had a killer headache to I wasn't about to do anything insane, and it was really late too. Hamzah got out the beds and we stayed up till LATE attacking each other in his room LoL. That was one of the most fun days of my life!!

I can't believe it. I'm a high-school graduate!!

3 CHEERS FOR THE CLASS OF '07!

Harry Potter and The Corny Offspring!

Back again, after quite a while. Finally, some peace and quiet so I can rant about the final Harry Potter book. *Cries*. It's the LAST ONE!! Am I the only depressed one here?? I feel so sad that there isn't going to be another book after this one, nothing to look forward to anymore!!

Or is there?

Anyway, back to the last book. My sister pre-ordered it ages ago, and I had to go pick it up from Borders at Town Hall. When I went to the station OMFG THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS PASSED THROUGH!! Fake, duh, but it was SO magical, I can't explain it! The whole station was filled with steam as it passed through and the little kids on it were screaming "HARRY POTTER!!" and I got all excited and started running to see it. I felt like such a kid all over again. I guess nothing in the world except J. K. Rowling could make people at my age lose all our inhibitions and go nuts over a BOOK! That's why I'll miss it SO much...

God, I'm still having withdrawal symptoms. Anyway, I went to the city with Fatty, then I waited outside in the long queue going nuts, laughing like a loony. I was SO excited.

And then, FINALLY. It was in my hands. I ran all the way to the train and started reading it straight away. Intense stuff. Or so I thought....

!!! SPOILERS !!!

[If you haven't Book 7 stop reading now!]

I read it really fast, I didn't want anyone to spoil it for me, but I can't help that I felt kinda disappointed. Umm, not GREATLY, just a little twinge of "Err. Is that it?" I think it's because it's the last book, we all kinda expected JKR to pull out something amazing, but it was ok. This is after a single read mind you. I might change my mind after a second time...

Notable/Favourite Parts:

HEDWIG. Omfg. JKR! Why?? That was totally uncalled for! KILLING Hedwig just for the heck of it. I mean, you already proved how ebil Voldy was when you killed what's her name, Charity Cabbage, but not Hedwig! And THEN you went and killed DOBBY!! FAR OUT!! THAT IS SO MEAN! I was on the verge of tears at that one. Stuff the humans, no one cares about them! Lupin, Tonks, Fred, etc. Pfffft! Who gives? But Hedwig and Dobby?!

"Here Lies Dobby, A Free Elf." *Sniff*...

MS WEASLEY YOU BEAST! Woohoo!! All-time favourite moment in all the books! You cannot get a better duel than that. Just the thought of plump Ms Weasley duelling that ugly scary Bellatrix and killing her, it's so funny. Haha, that was the most satisfying thing i've ever read^*. I can't wait for the 7th movie!!

"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" - As she busts Bellatrix's ass.

Last, but definitely not least, Snape. *Gasps*. He is now, by far, my favourite character in the series. After all the seven books, all the hatred, mystery and WTF, it turns out he was the most enigmatic, selfless, romantic person out of them all. That Snape/Lily/Petunia flashback was so heart-wrentching! Snape's undying love for Lily, Petunia begging Dumbledore to let her into the wizarding world, it was so emotional! When Snape asked Harry to "Look at me!" so he could see Lily's eyes one more time before he died....*Cries*. That was just so sad!!

Ok, so those were my favourite parts in the book, now, here's my rant after I finished the book for the first time. I dunno, its a bit emotional...

Emotional Rant:

OMFG. Can I scream really loud now? Yes?? Argh. I mean, yeh kudos to Rowling for finishing it but for crying out loud ALBUS-SEVERUS?? SCORPIUS?? WTF that epilogue wud’ve killed Voldy and ALL his skanky horcruxes in BOOK ONE I TELL YOU!! FLAT OUT he wud’ve had an orgasm over the evil of the the forced Ron/Hermione thing (he gets off on teh evilness of it; I mean seriously, JK ROWLING! RON = dumb red-headed insecure dood who never gets over his insecurity in the WHOLE BLOODY SERIES, whereas Hermione is the genius feisty biatch who gets INTERNATIONAL QUIDDITCH PLAYERS DOTING ON HER perky ASS and yet she hooks up with him and has two kids called joe and stacy (insert your favourite bogan names). FAR OUT. I just realised what a bloody waste of time book 1 to 7 were. ARGH I am so pissed at how bad and PREDICTABLE THAT ENDING WAS >_> It seemed so rushed and I dunno WTF. ACCIO HAGRID? LAZY MUCH? The middle was SO damn boring. AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS? Had nothing to do with it!! ARGHH. And Malfoy didn't get to do much AGAIN. *sigh*.

/Rant.

For the record, I don't think it was that bad anymore. Snape/Lily was worth the whole series. I know, i'm such a hopeless romantic.

I'LL MISS YOU HARRY POTTER!!!

Eating: A thin slice of light-rye Vienna bread toasted to crispness and covered with a thin layer of butter and honey. Most delicious.

Mood: SO sad! And depressed and nostalgic and happy and emotional all at once!!

Back again!!

Back to Blogger! wOOts!! Such a weird feeling coming back here after deleting my old blog; very nostalgic indeed. It's nice to face the Big-B again. Ahead we go, signing-in with my Gmail account (I didn't wanna have to switch from my old blogger account dammit!!), to write about all the weird things that happen in my life that no-one really cares about.

[Actually I did manage to get about 80 hits a day on the old blog, with a total of hundreds of thousands of hits, but that's another story. Pretty cool, eh? Anyway it turned into a porn-site, MAJOR wtf. And don't expect a link anytime soon :P hehe...]

Anyway, being the OCD-freak I am, my blog HAD to be nice and pretty before I'd start blogging (not to mention PERSONAL; I'm a very bad non-conformist. Bite me.) Notice the lemons everywhere, including the favicon, me nice little HTML-work? Yes, there is a reason behind the citrus-fetish, albeit a rather lame one...

All this HTML deciphering is a pain in the butt. Well, at least you don't have to wait months for a Google Analytics account anymore! Now I can stalk all you people INSTANTLY!!

Joke, people! Joke.

Eating: Vili's Gourmet Chicken Pie. Gawd! These are so good!! For a frozen pie, that was tasty. It actually had chunks of chicken in it, not just the ground-up half-soy crap they give us at school. And it had potatoes and carrots in it too!! A bit anglo if you know what I mean, but still tasty.

Mood: Nostalgic, and tired. All this HTML work is giving me a headache...
