I was randomly blog-hopping and ended up here. I don't really think of this place as active anymore, since I hardly blog anyways, and most of thoughts go onto my LJ. But as usual, the sentimental part of me decided to take an affectionate little trip down memory lane and look around at all the old entries. Maybe for a good laugh.
On the contrary, though, I found that this place was rather moving. Maybe to me only, but that doesn't matter. It's the personal bond I share with a single page on the internet, one amongst millions, billions of others. This is me! Me during my four years of secondary school. I think that after this year I might as well stop updating bubbleballoon. It's a pleasant little relic of four years of change, growth and happiness. Preteen sillyness, twit language at certain points in time, and general immaturity that I suppose as yet continues to pervade my thoughts and writing. I'd like to leave it this way. Whenever I take the time to read my old entries I feel like some part of me has managed to hold on to a little bit of my memories, which I can hold onto and savour even when the people and places around me have changed. I hope I don't seem like some hopeless sentimental person who feeds on yesterday's dreams and doesn't do much about the present; I'm merely saying, the past is something I want to look back and be proud of or at least, happy about.
Since it's not December yet, I won't do any closure things here for now. Just in case I want to add little relevant snippets in the future. I like to know there's a way back to everything, that nothing is ever truly gone or over. It's something small that's nice to believe in.

Hello from Melbourne!
It's really cold here, and really big, and really foreign, as of now. Have been having quite some trouble looking for a house/school (they have to come together. You can only get into a public school if your house is nearby. And houses near good public schools are hard to get). Oh well. And I've got the flu :(
Anyhow, I'm hoping that I can start school in Melb in Feb next year instead of obscurely popping into year 10 which I've finished anyways, and even worse somewhere in the middle of the second semester.
We bought internet for 24 hours, and there're only 32 minutes left (!!!!!) so I'll scram for now.
Ciao!

Got so horribly sunburnt today during Volunteer work at Earthfest. But surveying tourists with Fausty was fun. :) Spaced out now, too much sun I guess. XX
Pierced my ears yesterday~ If anyone's interested, piercing's less than half as painful as clip-ons.

Moved for awhile! Check it out:
http://theraintree.livejournal.comI love the elephants^^ And the name's less.. bouncy. But I think I'll still come back here, after I work on, you know, updating links and stuff =) I've had this little page for so long that I've become pretty attached to it!

I say, that hootenanny over there needs a name! Let's call it a.. teetotem! Or something.Some random (rather interesting to me at least) stuff:
1. When you don't sleep well it's more likely that you're a hyposomniac than an insomniac because you probably
do manage to doze off for a few seconds (or enter a state of semi-consciousness or something) during the long hours of the night. It's fun saying you're a hyposomniac, because it sounds so.. obscure! =D
2. What better hobby is there to have than
omphaloskepsis? Let's all contemplate our navels together! This is, though, a rather vertiginous and also demanding activity so please take care not to carry it out extemporaneously especially when lying supine..
3. And
the most important subject for study you could ever think of: balneology! Human society can't progress or even survive without the science of the therapeutic use of baths..!! Can you imagine the
horror,
chaos and/or
tohubohu?A fulsome jumble of arsy-varsy razzmatazz? Random words are fun. Don't pooh-pooh them, or I'll call you a pooh-bah. Or a boob (that word is just
so sophisticated).
Suffering from remote katzenjammer. Feelings in pell-mell, can't grok myself. Maybe this is chagrin. Ah, I'm maundering, aren't I. But no matter how incoherent I get I swear I'm not a misologist. =P
What am I trying to keep my mind off?
一日中待ってたけど。I won't pretend I don't care.

Haha! My mum just bought me the cutest socks.. they've got a stave with music notes on them ( i haven't found the clef/key etc yet). I showed the pair to my dad, and the first thing he said was- 'can you play that'? Imagine propping your sock/ socks on a music stand and sightreading it/them! Funny. Going to wear them tomorrow =D
So much homework.. Everyone else went out shopping and stuff, while I've been trying to drill my way through this mountain of stuff undone. Stress. 2 more things to do, and I'll be free for tonight!! Today i won't bother changing the time-thing for my post. Apparently, it doesn't help/ make a difference if i do. I'm still a random maniac who blogs at 2 or 3 in the morning. Ugh

もし、君を失ったとしたなら
星になって
君を照らすだろう
笑顔も涙に濡れてる夜も
いつもいつでもそばにいるよ
Living is easy with eyes closed.Hormone attack! I feel steeped in self pity and angst despite there being no obvious reason for this!! Maybe because I screwed a part of my part. A
part of my very unimportant part. AHH.
And there's that math test too. JLPT kept my mind off it yesterday and thursday, but now the thought of getting that stupid math test back is starting to haunt me again.......
今年、最初の雪の華を
ふたり寄り添って
眺めているこの瞬間(とき)に
幸せがあふれだす
Then and again, I notice with a certain bit of satisfaction that my Japanese has improved considerably since, like.. June last year. And even more since this time last year, when I was busing learning '私の名前はIRENE です' etc. And writing て wrongly. Well, my ふ still looks screwed though..
I'm depressed. I think I'm going to go find a nice corner and sit blasting myself with loud rude music or something. Bye.

But still they lead me back to the long winding road.Don't leave me waiting here-Math test today was so,
so screwed. I've never screwed a test so bad before. Or at least, not in a long while. My mom's been nagging me all afternoon about not being 'focused' enough. I guess she's right. Arhh. Must. Do. Something.
It's been raining since yesterday! Really cold. And the small hall was freezing as well, so all through singers I was chattering my teeth off. Even the chair was shaking..! Rather uncomfortable. Needless to say, I had trouble even opening my mouth. But still, I enjoyed it. (Note: It as in the singing part......)
Short disjointed paragraphs. Sorry. My brain's on holiday. Well at least I hope it is. Wouldn't like for it to have permanently deserted me.. Not an exciting prospect.
Tomorrow's 203 day! To anyone who remembers, at least. Well, this time last year I remember how hyped I was about the time capsule. And to think, it's been a year already! I wonder if the time capsule will actually survive another 23 years, and if it does, I wonder how many of us will still remember it then. You know, looking back I really think those sec 1/2 days were some of the happiest school days i've had so far! Back then I was emo and stuff almost half the time, and also excessively immature for one (I'm not saying anything about myself now though) but I guess after a while you forget all those little unpleasant details and just enjoy nice reminders of 'those days'. Which is cool. Memory changes things, doesn't it? Delusion in a sense.
Oh but Sai let's play heizhimabaizhima again soon! =)
Guess that's it for now. Concert on saturday, I'm screwed. But I don't think many people are coming (thankfully). A few days ago I heard that only 6 tickets were sold..! I guess people are just more into drama and movement than they are for music. Fine with me. Will have a better audience on the 18th I guess (Anyone interested in coming? orchestra, singers, band... yada yada)
