Canberra - a laugh

Canberra is a laugh. seriously. no, delete that,

THE Yr 6 Camp is a laugh.

A laugh. I'M GOING THERE TO SOCIALISE AND HAVE FUN, NOT GLANCE AT ALL THOSE STUPID SIGHTS THAT ARE 'WOOOONDERFUL'. Haha, what were the teachers doing splitting my closest friends up? I've got Shirley (that's a relief) ... BUT I WANT CODE AND BELLA TOO. (and tay and linday ... I WANT THE WHOLE CLASS ON ONE BUS) Oh, actually, i had hoped, and i thought the Yr 6 teachers would leave the OC class together in the coach AND at Canberra. I HATE THE TEACHERS. No, i can't really say that. they spent 6 hrs on it ... trying their best ... I HATE THE ORGANISATION.

How can this be? How can this be? (Hamlet coming up?)I actually nearly burst into tears, and when me, tay, lindy and shir went to beg Mrs. F to change, she wouldn't bat an eyelid. Actually, i'd even WANT Tay and Lindy on the Bus with Code, Bella and Shir .... and me obviously.

I WANTED CODE'S SARCASM, BELLA READING AND BEING ANNOYING, TALKING ABOUT THE BLACK JEWELS TRILOGY WITH SHIR AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICES SO EVERYBODY GROANS, TAY SO WE CAN HAVE A VERBAL FIGHT OR DO SOMETHING WITH THE FUNNY BUNNIES, AND LINDY ... COZ SHE'S LINDY. ALSO, I WANTED THE WHOLE CLASS SO MATT COULD SING THE BEER SONG, ME GET ANGRY AT JIMMY AND JASON, ROLL EYES AT SANJI AND DANIEL, GROAN WHEN AARON SINGS ... you get the point. I HATE THIS.

*sigh* canberra isn't going to be as good. But no one else seems crazed. Oh, and for the rooms, its exactly the same as everybody wanted, Mrs. F says ... EXCEPT FOR OUR ROOM. Shir, Code, Bella and I have to live with Nicole (actually, that isn't bad) ... and Jessica and .. what's her twin's name? No offence to them. Mrs. F chose us to accompany them coz we're 'nice.' I guess we are ... in a way. But sreiously, we won't be able to talk freely ... I HATE THE BUS/GROUP ALLOCATIONS. This means, other than Shir, i'll only see my friends at dinner and when we sleep, whatever Mrs. F says. He isn't on my bus. Fortunately. I can't stand anymore teasing. Except, as i have ranted, THEY HAVE GROWN MATURER

Oh, on a better note, Code n I are thinking of making a story, bit like Black Jewels Trilogy, but based on the five Japanese elements, i've forgotten but its something like Chi, Sui, Ka, Fuu and Kuu

Yeah ... i hope its gonna be a great story ... but CANBERRA DOESN'T SEEM AS BRIGHT ...

Another dragging post

Right now, I don't really understand why I rock ... but ... yeh.

Oh yeh, i rock coz i actually made a list for all the things i need for Canberra. Right down to the last hair tie. I am sooo organised ... not. I am rather pedantic (for all you unnerdy people, pedantic means fussy ... is you don't know what fussy is ... how did u keep up with my nerd as blog?) about camps tho ... no one else is hyped about Canberra! I mean, seriously.

IT'S THE CAMP IN YR 6!

It might not be AS fun than before, when all the boys were not mature (check other bloggys for my -rants-) and Jimmy and Jason and Matthew teased me with all their fibre, it'll still be cool.

Not because we're going to the Senate and National Gallery or something (i've been to canberra every year mate!) but for the Questacon which is ... like ... the best (don't venture further than the first lvl if you're not a scientist like Liang) and ... for the socialness!

It's not a word, but it is a word now, coz i made it up. socialness.

If 'Muggle' is in the newly updated dictionaries, socialness can go in too.

Yeah. we've got choir tomorrow. wke up at 7 -groan- that's too eeeeeaaaaarly for me. pssh. But, to get out of Italian Culture and Signora, anyhting will do .. but then, other than Lindy, who's a Pshycho Bitch but still cool, there's girly Shannon and ... otheres. the stupidheads. 멍텅구리. That means 'stupidhead' in Korean. So yeh ... *sigh*


OMG. My violin lesson sucked. I GOT ALL MY SCALES WRONG. OFF TUNE AND JUST ... NOT RIGHT. Seriously, piano kids are so lucky. They bang a note, it sounds true and clear ... unless you need to fix it. BUT VIOLINS ... THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 5 DEGREE ANGLE MAKES A TOTAL DIFFERENT NOTE. But, my pieces went okay i guess. Suzuki is waaaay harder than AMEB. which i am doing now, so my teacher gave me some 4th and 5th AMEB stuff to do ... go me! 4th grade is also waaaay easier than 5th. And you know, Suzuki, the positions might come out later, BUT THE SLOWEST PIECE IS ALLEGRETTO. ALLEGRETTO. ALLEGRETTO. allegretto. And the fastest is crochet-210. AAAARGH. And the day after tomorrow ... Canberra! (I hope we sing the 100's of bottles song. it's waaay cool)

Choir ... if you're not Dean, hate it.

*sigh* I again, have to say, i totally agree with you linday.

Choir sucks

There's no other word for it.

Seriously, as i have nicely mentioned befeore, we missed speeches, we miss a day of skool (the drama that happens ... ) and ... yeh. The songs we sing this year are ... just bleh. seriously. I mean, 'House at Pooh Corner,' 'Jesu Joy of My Desiring' and others. the only good songs are the bak

2. I HATE SINGING. No, that's not right, and mum would faint if i said that (just because she's got aaaaaaaalll the musical talent in the family .. she's completed all levels for piano, never getting below the best, an A plus, singing like an angel that people dearly want her to sing at weddings, her teachers wanted her to be worldwidely famous ... good for her mate!) I HATE CHOIR. No, that's not true either. Church choir is kool, if you take out that MY mum conducts it. and then again, mum IS a good conductor. She's good at everything. pssh. Aaaand, the SONGS are good in church choir. I HATE OPERA HOUSE CHOIR!!!!!!! That seems to sum everything up. I mean, it wouldn't be half as bad if i had Mrs. Owen as the choir teacher. Mrs Allan ... no comment. I mean, the best thing about choir these days, is for me and Lindy to gloat coz Soprano's are just waaaay better than altos.

Yay! Canberra in 3 days! (Just nicely forget the fact there's choir in 2) I've currently got my PJ's, gloves that are a tad too big for me coz i borrowed them off from my sister's friend who's 21 ... erm, i'm begging mum for lollies and ... yeh. OOOOoooooh, i NEARLY FINISHED MY SCARF!!!!!! Go me! And soo far, i've only got 3 holes!!!!!!!!! *doing*

And, also, just NICELY forget to mention the fact that we have to wake up eeeeeaaaarly for choir. no, it doesn't matter for camp, coz that's camp, but Choir, is a tooootally different matter. -_- I have a feeling i whinged alot today. And i had a fight with Jiwon. She told me i talked back too much, and was being a smart alec ... hah! that's the reason i live! I finished 4 books today!

-_-

I seriously am turning into code ... verbally anyway.

ever heard of me saying 'lah'? Oh woe is mee!!!!!!!!! Anywayz, i can currently hear two little kiddies, twins the age of 4 clanking (or playing) on the piano ... those little cute little ... kindys are currently holding a lesson with my mam.

great.

that means no one realises i'm on the computer! Cheer!!! 4 DAYZ TILL CANBERRAAAAA!!!!

I'm with lindy. Choir sucks these days.

We missed out on the stage 3 speeches, have to wake up eeeeearly like, as in about .. 7. and the next day we have to wake up at 5. greeeeeeeaaaaaat. Well, thurs and fri we have to wake up early at canberra (we eat breakfast at seven) but who cares, that's actually, when we ARE at camp.

Also, when we were seperating bunks, i asked code 'Who's Jimmy sleeping with?' (coz who ever in Jimmy's room is considered one of his mates, and if you don't agree with them ... jimmy hates you. except, i've already gone past that barrier) and, since we have such dirty minds, everybody shrieked. seriously. I didn't ask if jimmy was sleeping WITH anybody ... (well, i did, so wat!) wait, let's not go there. my mind's dirty enough.

Then on Friday, since Mrs. F was at Zone Carnival, and we wereeeeee sooo clever enough to finish all the work (well, i didn't finish all the signpost ... but ... ) Vickie n I in Class 5C kinda read, went to visit Nicole, Bayu, Sid, Jimmy and Dan ... then read ... and then visited them again ... and in the afternoon, we had a maths fight. No, not arguing over the right answer like Liang would, but having a 1cm block fight.

I currently remember that Nicole went under the table Vickie, Nicole and I were sitting at, and Nicole and I went under and laughed coz Dan and Jimmy were worried somthing upset her so i told them she was PMSing. Then Nicole shaking her head vibrantly said' I'm PMSing.' riiiiiiiiiiiiiite. at least the boys left us alone after tht. Coz of Friday, i read 5 books on that day tho.

muhbahahahahaha. (the b wrecked it!)

*doing* That seems to be my random favourite word these dayz.

Mrs Faulkner's bak and has no thought of us slacking off unfortunately for 6F... AND, there's around 2 months of skool dayz ... before ... i'll never see most of my class again.

and on top of that, we're getting maturer.

that might be why Jason and Jimmy don't tease me anymore, but don't talk to me either, Matt glares at me all the time and says a few brash words but doesn't dob to the teacher ...

Life is beautiful ... get one.

*doing* I'm currently sitting here supposed to be doing violin, so it shows one things okay even tho we're getting maturer ... i'm hard to manage. good.

when i finally do all my work before playing and don't talk too much, i'll realise i'm getting older. At least I'M not one of those getting too maturer ... I THOUGHT BOYS MATURING LEVEL WERE 4 YRS YOUNGER THAN GIRLS! Damn. I seriously don't have anyone to tease these days. Jason and Jimmy don't even think about teasing me anymore, so skool is boring. seriously, i stole jason's hat, and he doesn't even go after it. Jimmy just grabs it and gives it bak without saying a word to me ... SERIOUSLY. i want some fun ...

Tho Jiwon says its good that jimmy and jason don't tease me anmore, that we'll soon be friends with a distance, i dunno ... On a happier note, 6 dayz till canberra! Code, Shir, Bella and Nicole n i are gonna share a room. NOT A CABIN SHIR! (I am currently crazed about anime. bear with me, leh)

The unbelievable ...

OMFG.

I am like, happy. as in happy.

I don't care that Matt got angry at me, i don't care that i nearly got run over by a car ... (plz don't ask, its waaaaay embarassing) coz i was so happy!!! as in , haaaappyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

I WON THE DEBATE! Well, WE won the debate. I AM SO DAMN HAPPY. The topic was 'The future is bright for Australian children' ... eh. not exactly, but something like that. We got negative. Oh, we versed Jasper Rdbtw. OMG. WE WON JASPER ROAD. WHO HAS LIKE ...NOT LOST FOR LIKE ... AGES could you say? (A/N: I over reacted sooo badly there)

well, mainly coz natasha didn't speak but was only 4th speaker but .. hell, do i care???????? I have a feeling we woulda lost if she debated ... *sigh*

The 1st speaker - Dean (he spoke well ... i guess ... i guess ...)
2nd - Synthura (she was a bit of a let down should i say? she was very off topic and had loads of wrong info ... but she's okay)

3rd - should i say ... me? (*brags laughingly* it was like ... soooooo coz of me we won! ... yeh right)

Dean wasn't AS annoying as usual so that was ooooooooooookay.


After HAPPILY winning the debate everybody offered cograts. Tay and I hugged 2 times or something, Jimmy was cordial enough to say congrats but Zhu ... actually, i like what he said. it shows at least one person in our class still has to wait to be mateure. he said 'omg. that was such a fluke you won jiye' i just laughed. I like him ... or rather, don't hate him with a passion sometimes. WEll, seriously, i don't really reeeaaaaaaally hate any one ...

*cough cough*

Hard life

DEBATING SUCKS.
As in ... really really really sucks? (A/N ... I sound sooo lame)

I had felt okay about today's debate against Jason, Will and Matt with my teammates Shir and Code but ... meh. Shir and Code kicked butt. They were ... like GOOD. as in ... good. And then ... i came up as 3rd speaker and messed everything up ... *sigh* and just coz they're teamline was in the figurative sense, doesn't mean you can't take in literally! I mean, debaters are supposed to go against the teamline in any way possible ... right?

*doesn't look convinced*

and on top of that, when i'm feeling bleh about my debating skills, the DEBATING AGAINST JASPER ROAD IS TOMORROW! *freak everybody!* I mean, its obvious MPPS is gonna lose ... but we're gonna lose SOOOOOO badly. *sigh* I mean, i'd do anyhting to debate well against Jasper Road. Knock down some of the arguments that the 3rd speaker makes ... SHE'S STATE WINNER for god's sake.

-end debating ramble-

-start today's ramble-

At skool today ... erm, i dunno. Bayu was swearing about Mrs. Armstrong like usual, but ... MATTHEW. I mean, he's a great mate to his friends and everything, very loyal and full of laughter that guy is ... but you have that feeling he's not as nice to people ... who annoy him. LIKE ME. rather, ESPECIALLY ME. I mean, i know i talk alot, (i'm shushy!) but, he talks alot too, Matt does. And he tells me to shut up and gets all moody at me.

And when i say hi to him these days, i don't get anything other than a glare. Sorry Lindy, but it has to be. Matt is not nice to people he doesn't like. I trust this hatred doesn't go as deep as Jimmy and Jason. And then again ... Matt's like ... CLOSE friend of them.

THEN, after skool, mum and i went to the library (cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but my dear lovely mum told me to only borrow 5 fiction books and borrow some history and science book thingies. (*don't cheer*) 5 FICTION BOOKS. FIVE. FIVE. FIVE. FIVE. Me, Jiye Kim a.k.a. shushy-who-reads-too-much only allowed to borrow 5 books. BUT, i got my way in the end. Well, i got to borrow 7 books. MUHAHAHAHAHA. But still, ... 3 books were HISTORY BOOKS. Actually, that's not bad at all. I looooove History ... BUT TO SACRIFICE READING BOOKS! (as in, proper fiction books)

*add a few more rambling paragraphs*

Erm, then mum spent like ... 1 hr 15 min at Stockland, and in that time, i read 'Daughter of the Blood' for the 6th time. (And shir, who owns the books, have only read it twice) Shirley's adored 'Black Jewels Trilogy' book. i finished 300 pages while i was waiting for her ... *smiles gleefully* then ... tay came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was nice to have company for 10 min ...

she was great to talk to i guess ...

I guess ...

Life in the name of shushy

Signora Scarcella.
Italian.
Cartoon drawing.
Forgetting red books.
Debating in the way.
Reading Black Jewels Trilogy.
Class debate.

That kinda summarises my whole day i guess. I FORGOT MY ITALIAN BOOK FOR LIKE ... THE 12TH TIME THIS SEMESTER! oh man ... like, signora scarcella's a nice teacher and everything, but I DREAD ITALIAN THESE DAYS ... all coz i'm too forgetful.

I mean, she made everybody who didn't draw their cartoons for hw stay in for lunch, and then Signora had this really ... LOOK on her face that meant ... 'Jiye ... forgot your book again?' look. you know ... no, you don't know coz you're one of the nerdy-i-never-forget-my-book-or-homework-kinda-people. pssh. I soooo suck at Italian. And i hate reading in Korean. you know...reading??? -_-

BUT THEN, a school debate against a skool that team 2 thrashed helped me (and dean ...but who cares about Dean?) to get out of Italian! Seriously, debating rules ... until Wed when the JASPER ROAD DEBATE comes ... *sigh* and then ... we won, so i (and dean ...) had to troop bak into class and face her ... face. Then i escaped and read the Black Jewels Trilogy. for the 5th time.

I can hear you laughing.

What, just because i don't think you only read a book once when you buy it, doesn't mean i'm a freak ... does it? *looks all defensive* Then we studied ... HBF. Or HF. Or Huck. Ooooor, Huckleberry Finn. And while everybody's groaning, Bayu goes '*insert swearword* *insert another swearword* freak of a teacher'

JUST COZ MRS F MADE MRS. ARMSTRONG DO ALL THE HF AND CIVICS STUFF DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S A BAD TEACHER... OR A FREAK. SHE IS ONE OF THE ACTUAL TEACHERS WHO WANTS HER STUDENTS TO LEARN THE BEST THEY CAN. Isn't that the teacher's job? Or you'd hope anywayz. -concludes ramble- oh btw, don't you love my pic?

pps. I'm finally getting bored about fp ... until another story comes along ...

I hate this blasted time thing! It's always uploaded to 2:25 am. How nice. For people who stay up till 2:25am writing on blogs. Weeeeeeell, I've done that, and Xiaxue's done that, but that's completely, utterly beside the point ... what was the point?

The colours of the wind (came from thin air)

Eh. Lindy, it seems there WAS a bitchfight ... between tay and code. pssh. i wish i was there.

I'd like to have a fight once inawhile, even tho both end in tears or something at the end. *muses* I wonder what happened ... *sigh*

And Psycho Bitch Taylor, really, who cares what i call you, what code calls you, what linda calls you, what jason calls you what ... seriously mate, WHO FUCKING CARES!!!! (oh great. first time in my life i wrote that.)

So, you get name called ... you wanna cry over that? FINE. That means i would be in tears every second of my life. Eh. Mrs. A let us bring music in, but for some idiotic reason, she wouldn't let us listen to music that held the word 'shut up' in it. greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat. And then Andrew goes around the classroom voting for ... something or another. I hate you taylor ... sometimes.

See, she stood up for me yesterday when she was in tears about some cardboard dilemma (liang, stop trying to take charge) and then, she sticks up for me ... *sigh* i don't know what to think of you tay. I seriously just don't know . I hope you'll show your real colours soon. I want to like you, or hate you. Without anything in between.

Trebuchet. Rite. Seriously, trebuchet MS is like, the best. After Arial. But then arial is too small and ... oh man, i seem to be rambling ... again.

Today was crazy hair day, but eh, seriously, i coulda gone to skool like usual and everybody would agree i was crazy enough. pssh.

Code was wearing ... something or another. Tay was wearing a miniskirt (riiiiiite) and ... zhu was wearing white pants. seriously. WHITE WHITE pants. I'll settle with that it wasn't see-through. Let's just leave it to that. Oh, Dean was wearing a monster inc. hat. great, you know. One of those helmet thingys ... and after cutting some pieces of paper from one of the thousands of worksheets we had to do, (REMEMBER, CUT WITH METAL RULERS, NOT SCISSORS) Dean goes around in his metal helmet and trashes people's rubbish in it ... okay then. Oh, and he was waering ... a jester's hat. Or a christmas tree or wateva. Code said he looked like he was crying, but seriously, he mighta been downright sad, but no, not crying. It's too much to hope he's human. Like me.

Then at the end of skool, Mrs.A sits us together with (such) a grim face and talks about how name calling is bullying and hurts people's feelings lalalala. Then Tay goes up to Code and me (or is it Code and I? Or Code and Shushy? Or Codie and Shushy? Or Codie and Jiye?) and goes "name-calling is BAD. *hint hint*" And the day before, she's all 'Oh, Mrs.A is such a biatch." Psycho Bitch Taylor, if you seem to be in the same category of Matthew, crying coz of having a word said to you .... *sigh*

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Oh yeh, these days, Tay seems so ... peaceful. I dunno, but she seems ... too peaceful if you know what i mean?

I'm getting bored of skool. No-one to fight with. Are we growing more mature>

OH MY GOD. nO, THAT can NOT happen . It must just be coz of our substitute teacher ... okay. But I WANT TO HAVE A VERBAL FIGHT WITH SOMEONE!

(Then make them feel sad, and make myself cry) AND LINDY! I DO NOT READ ANNE OF GREEN GABLES ALL THE TIME! It's just a ... thing. I'll get over it. I might be burying my nose into another book later! (i've only got 1 more book to go in the series. So there!)

OMG!

I actually have a blog! *jumps up and down happily* also you can *insert evil laugh* if you wanted to you know, but i won't coz i'm ALWAYZ right ... or so i say.

Tay made this blog for me ... as in Tay not Psycho Bitch Taylor ... I'm happy to say Psycho Bitch Taylor hasn't appeared yet tonight. ha! if she had, i wouldn't be here writing a blog. Then of course there's Psycho Bitch Linda and Psycho Bitch Jimmy ... but that's a different matter. hmmm, i should probably add Zhu and Dean to that to.

Pssh.

6F is such a soap opera...seriously. We're SUCH a 'one big happy family' pfft. yeah right. delete the happy bit. IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HAPPY it's such a fun place to be in! If you can't stand my logic, quit the site. Then there's actual SCHOOL. you know ... school. should i define school for you? *you guyz that don't understand my logic haven't gone yet have you? I have almighty power*

Let me give you my version: THE place for teachers to slave-drive poor students ... oh how i feel sorry for them *cough cough* We seem to have Mrs. Armstrong. SHe's a good teacher ... i'll give her that. But teaching well doesn't equal having a fun time does it>?

Eh.

AND THAT STUPID DEMONCRACY OR RATHER 'CIVICS AND CITIZENSHIP' unit we have to do for HSIE at skool. GAWD. sure, its nice to have a democratic country (but is it actually free?) but really ... save it for later mate, save it for later.

THEN THERE'S HUCKLEBERRY FINN. another one of those a-classic-that-nobody-enjoys-but-makes-a-point-very-annoying-font-very-annoying-words kinda book. you know ... no, you don't know coz u don't read. hmph. then u suck. which would be the majority. And seriously, i don't understand *over-sensitive* boys that cry by having a sarcastic comment thrown out them (i'm sorry for that Lindy :P)
-_-

but seriously.

The idiocy of pop music...

On the countdown by Take40 Australia , is the list of the top 40 songs downloaded from Bigpond Music. These are graded weekly. These ones are as of today(6 August 2005). Here are my opinions:

1: We Belong Together (Mariah Carey)
Mariah Carey? Another young Western girl with perfect looking features and sexy (sic) looking album covers? Please, waiters, we've had enough of that soup, give us the main course. People (preferably pretty, of course, but not a requirement) that actually have a decent voice and will actually entertain audiences like the rock bands of the 60's and 70's used to do should go far. In my opinion, anyway.

2: Incomplete (Backstreet Boys)
Backstreet Boys, a male band (der) that has been around forever. At least, forever in the pop music industry. Incomplete is one of their newer songs, but I haven't heard it. No comment.

3: Bad Day (Daniel Powter)
Daniel Powter? Who on earth is he? There's so many celebrities anyway, a new one doesn't make much difference.

4: Voodoo Child (Rogue Traders)
Refer to number 3.

5: Lonely (Akon)
I've heard of this artist (mainly by sneaking onto my brother's MSN address and looking at what his friends are listening to) but no, I haven't heard anything from him/her. Too bothered to find out their gender.

6: Feel Good Inc. (Gorillaz)
Refer to number 3.

7: This Is How A Heart Breaks (Rob Thomas)
Again, refer to number 3.

8: Wake Me Up When September Ends (Green Day)
From the same band as Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and indeed the same album (American Idiot), Wake Me Up When September Ends is a pretty old (as in last year) song but still popular. Yay. A male band that is pretty famous.

9: Untitled (Simple Plan)
Untitled is a pretty good song, written by a pretty good band. Simple Plan is also a male band that wrote Welcome To My Life, which is one of my favourite songs ever (noticing that as I'm only 11, I haven't listened to many.

10: Don't Phunk With My Heart (Black Eyed Peas)
A very famous mixed band, Black Eyed Peas is touring Australia. But I am so deprived of music anyway, so I've never heard it. There are millions of songs anyway.

From now on I am only commenting on ones I feel like. There is another 30.

14: Crazy Frog Axel F
A really annoying sound, Crazy Frog was developed by a Scandinavian teenager who sent the sound via email to all his friends, who forwarded it to absolutely anyone at all. In 1997, an American designer designed a comical frog to go with the sound. An American company bought the rights to the frog and the sound, and from there teenagers started to download it as a ringtone. Why download it, when it's so irritating anyway?

15: Hollaback Girl (Gwen Stefani)
After tracking its progress on the charts, I was surprised to see it so far down the list. Hollaback Girl is a song with a nice lilt but LOTS of the word shit. Not suitable for young children. I always thought Gwen Stefani sounded like a squeaky record anyway.

16: Lose Control (Missy Elliot)
This was pretty far down too. Missy Elliot is not as squeaky as Gwen Stefani but still serves the same demographic.

22: Speed of Sound (Coldplay)
Definitely one of my favourite songs ever, Speed of Sound is a really good song from a really good album, X&Y. Coldplay is a British male band that is really good. Case closed.

24: A Little Too Late (Delta Goodrem)
The singer who grew up in our area and then, after reigning over the charts in Australia, suddenly moved to England to be with her boyfriend Brian McFadden, then became a whole lot famous here. Only 24 on this countdown.

27: Schnappi, Das Kleine Krokodil (Schnappi)
Written by a then four-year-old Scandinavian (isn't it funny how they all seem to come from America or Sweden somewhere?) girl, Schnappi was first hosted on the internet by the young girl's parents for fun. Then it all got commercial and wrecked the fun. Ah well.

29: Just A Lil Bit (50 Cent)
This band was really famous about a year ago until it sort of got not-famous anymore. The End.

31: Hurts So Bad (Anthony Callea)
The runner-up of last year's Australian Idol, he was meant to be not as successful as the slightly overweight winner, Casey Donovan. But inevitably he turned out to be more marketable
