i don't really know what this post is going to be about, so let's just see what happens whilst i am writing this thing..
so i was thinking before, while reading matt's stupid chain letter (the love one that we've ALL seen waaaayy too many times, you know, the one that says all that stuff about why guys love girls, and what a kiss wherever means and all? yeah that oneT__T)
and i was thinking
how do you actually know if someone really loves you or not?
i mean, yeah there are all sorts of love, and here's what i think. here's how you know if they love you
**note: this is about LOVE guys, not making inferences abuot whether someone likes you or not. this is LOVE. this is the real thing that is felt by every part of the person's body, not just lust..'kay?
so the way i see it is, if the person is showing almost all of these, then they really do love you:
-they'll give up what they are doing to talk to you when you need their support
-if they've arranged to do something for you, go to something with you, and something fairly important comes up, they'll compromise with you rather than just letting you down
-if they DO miss something because there's just no way they can be in two places at once, they'll try to make up for it in more ways than one
-their one weakness is you
-they've cried to you before, either just TO you, OVER you, or ...or because you said something sweet that touched them
-they're not scared to show you what they're feeling, whether it be depression, happiness or extreme hyperactivity =D
-they share all of their hopes and dreams (no matter how corny) with you
-they try using pick up lines on you, although they know that you're theirs already
-they chased you and had to actually put effort into winning you over
-they put effort into the relationship
-they spare the time and effort and whatever it takes to make you happy, even in times when others would be like pssh who cares i've already got them
-they make up ridiculously lame excuses to call/msg/see you, even when you've just spent the last three days together
-they listen you talk about nothing
-they let you vent and they'll help you out
-they'll hurt you for the better...ie, they'll make you see the truth even if it makes you cry
-they'll go out of their way to ensure your happiness and wellbeing
-they will defend you and protect you in any situation, even when you are at fault
-they accept you as you are and don't expect you to change for them
-they help you with work, and ask for your help
-they're confident around you
-they're natural around you, they can be a dick to you, but accept it beacuse that may be who they are and they're just showing you that they're not afraid to show their true colours around you. accept it or leave it.
-they're not ashamed of you
-they'll do anything to make your dreams come true (siiigh a walk to remember...)
-they don't compare you to other people
-they're willing to drive you all around adelaide just for you to be with them while they do what they have to around the place
-they RESPECT you
-they can make you laugh uncontrollably
-they help you to see sense when you're lost and confused
-they have singing/screaming contests with you
-they never give up in trying to win you over
-they never stop putting effort into the relationship
-they can be trusted with every little thing you tell them
guys that's a really long list
but just another note from me?
love is not materialistic
it's better (in my opinion) to have a bf who has never given you anything, or jsut something small, or a few little thinsg and have a really good relationshipw ith them
than to have a bf who buys you the world. who uses their power to give you whateve ryou want yet you are not as close to him as yo ushould be
think about it guys
love is not about lust
or about money
it's about
actual love and intimacy (NOT sexaully) and trust.
intimacy being closeness mentally and being able to talk to them about eveyrhting. not PHYSICALLY intimate >__>
but yeah
to me, that's hwo you tell if someone loves you.
=D
**note: everyon'es different, so not many can fill ALL of those criteria without twisting words or the truth ;)

young and naive
ha. i wish. don't we all wish we were still young and naive? because if we were, we'd never have to worry about stupid things like whether or not this guy likes us, or whether or not we're making the right decision by doing this, or that, o r whether or not we should be failing school or trying harder. seriously, don't you sometimes wish that you could wind the clock back to a time when the most complex problem at school was having a guy chasing you around the school at lunch time? And when that complex problem could be easily resolved just by walking up to themw ith confidence and giving them cooties? Because once you've got cooties, honey you're dead...so they ran away and never bothered you again.
ah. those were the days. those were the days when you could get away with doing things like that, and running around during church and not being yelled at, and not being compared to your friends BY YOUR MOTHER. yeah that's happened to me before.."Why aren't you a good quiet girl like thao? i'd like it so much better if you were a lot quieter and more of a good girl. Like thao." Well, little did mother know...thao really is not that innocent. she's a bad girl. well, maybe not quite as bad as me, and not quite as loud. but still. she's not the most innocent person in the world. i mean. seriously!?
but that's not what i wanted to blog about today
so i went to a wedding last night. it was awesome. people getting wasted me and nhu pulling drinks out of peter's hands, people dancing, trung thu and amanda having an awesome time. wow it was juts really really awesome. but the difference between this wedding and the others that i've been to? well, this was the first time that i was not sitting with my parents or another family member. in other words, i was out there in the big big world with just my friends. sure, my cousin chi huong was sitting right nearby, and i was sitting at the same table with nhu and julian and peter and trung and oanh, but they're all so old...well so much olDER than me. no offence guys =). but yeah and so i was actually not with parents and was pretty much free. but then again, i was expected to be completely and utterly mature. ok, not completely serious but i wouldn''t have been able to just run across the dancefloor throwing confetti everywhere without people looking at me and going..what a weirdo.
that's what i really miss about being young. being able to do crazy fun things and everyone saying naaww she's so cuuute. no. now i walk around and they say wow that's girl's hot. and they expect me to behave like the young adult that i am. seriously. last night i was wearing a pretty dress, my hair looked hot and well. and i wasn't allowed to run around. no. 1 because although i was sitting with people who woudn't judge me no matter what i did, i was in a place with LOTS of other people who didn't nkow me and who would be expecting me to be very very mature and completely...not runnign around like a child. no. 2 because SOMEONE had to watch over my drinking friends. i mean, nhu and julian just left to go outside at one point, leaving me at a table of almost completley wasted people. and i was sitting next to peter, making sure he didnt' drink too much...sure it was fun bceause we talked and we ate, but like...it would have been nice to talk to someone compeltely sober yet still able to go insane with them. know what i mean?
so while we were eating i was looking over at the dance floor and saw little children runnign across it. these little children were mainly the flower girls in the bridal party but the thing that really got me was that they were getting away with it. so easily. i remember the last time i did that...no wait. i actually DON"T because it was so damn long ago. so yeah yesterday i was at a wedding. i looked good. people were looking at me. hence i was not able to run around like i would like to. sure people say i'm still a little bit naive. but hey, i lost that excess naivity a LONG time ago, about the same time i lost the opportunity and the excuse to run around and throw confetti at people wihtout being yelled at and being todl that i'm being an irresponsible young lady. well i WAS being very responsible last night. trust me. i wa s. hey, if it weren't for me peter may not have even made it home safely. so THERE.
well i think this whole blog lost its meaning. i think. my message to you guys it this: if you still can, be as spastic a person as you can. don't wait until it's way too late and be thinking back saying..how i wish i'd made use of my time as a young and naive child. i wish eveyrone were still naive. i wish all of my friends were still naive and i wish i was more naive. then we could all just run around and give each other cooties, rather than talking about parties where people are getting laid by randoms. seriously. how sad is that? and in the time space of a mere 5 years or so. trust me, 5 years ago i wasn't evne thinknig about things like that, yet now, it's pretty uch something that goes on eveyrwhere in my life. all around me.
but yeah
wedding=awesome
me=wishing we were still young and naive
well i think that's all i have to say now.
but yeah
,...
i say yeah a LOT don't i?
but it just sums everything up...well that's all for now
more when i'm done pondering...

Music & Lyrics
well guys i DO have something valid to say and not just some more ramblings on about nothing
so here it is
i was reading Dani's blog and came across her latest post
about music
yeah guys i love music
it's the best thing to ever have come into my life...
well one of the best ;)
so yeah she was sa ying how lyrics aren't eveyrthing of a song
that the song, the music and chords within the piece can speak for themselves
but how i see it, is like this:
Music in itself is a language of its own
and those who undersatnd it
those who can see the lyrics and the emotions in it
are the really musically tuned people
wheras those who need to depend on what the lyrics are saying are those who struggle to understand the music itself. they only undersatnd the lyrics because lyrics are words, which are used all of the time.
quote from Music and Lyrics (one of my FAVOURITEST movies ever):
(this quote is NOt accurate, but only what i remember from multiple viewings at the end of '08..HAHA ms angley..)
"The music is what you see first, like love. it's the sex it's the physical attraction. But the lyrics, THAT'S what love is. it's the core of the song."
something like that
maybe that part's been rather twisted by my own mind
but you get what i mean
it's like
the music..the first glance
the lyrics..the thoughtful next few times you listen to it
back to the intimacy of the music...listen to it over and over, and pick out each individual instrument line.
that's how a song is critiqued by me
i listen
then i think
then i listen harder
and try to find every obscure instrument line in it
for instance
some bass lines
are more intricate than they seem at first
after listening closely to the bass line of a particular song
you'll realise that the bass isn't that simple
it's actually keeping the piece together
just like every other isntrument
and it also keeps up the beat etc etc
BUT NOT ONLY THAT
but it adds a shine to the song
the differnece between a bass player who's good enough to improvise (ie jack) and some crappy beginner who can barely play the basics of what's on the music (ie...other yr 10 bassists) is so great it's not funny
with a good bass player
the song just comes together so well
it's just about moudled together and perfectly polished
wow.
music
love it.
btw my favouritest movies atm:
1. The Sound of Music
2. My Girl
3. Music & Lyrics
4. A Walk to Remember
5. Raise Your Voice
6. A Cinderella Story
aaaah i love musicals...and Hilary Duff movies...and OTHEr chick flicks AAHAHA
and and i love HSM because..BECAUSE they have good songs. and dances and pretty people =)
i think that's all...for now
unless i can think of any more
those above movies
are like the perfect movies to watch with a significant other....
BTW "significant others" can include awesome friends too
SO let us all have a night
where we just watch movies
all night
and then
lke
stay up eating popcorn
or seomthing
adn throwing shit at danielle
and
and
and
LAUGHING at danielle

(duh..)
and friday night=sports night at church
yes. me and tu=awesome synchronised cartwheels
ooh yeah
they were pretty darn awesome
but that's not what i'm here to talk about
i actually don't think i know what i'm here to say
just that
i need tow rite this
because
...
i don't evne know that O_O
about the last post...down THERE *points at screen*
i don't know why i wrote that one eitehr
it just seemed to me that i was simply drowning in thoughts
and had no way of releasing them
see, when one is releasing a thought, one needs to find the loose end of it
and tug on it
but when you can't find the loose end, the thought can't be unravelled.
see what i meean?
yesterday i knew that i needed to be unwound
but then i just couldn't find the loose end of my thoughts to do the unwinding...
so yeah
hence i ended up with a practilaly blank and empty blog.
how. great.
ok this is ridiculous too
i'm gonna leave now before i embarrass myself even more
i'll come back when i have soething valid to say...

dudes, i think too much
i do.
i think waaayy too much
but i was just thinking about something that i heard Vivian say today. She and Jacqui were talking to Benson, presumably about relationships because Vivian said that she thinks that the 3-month mark in relationships is the mark of trust. if that makes sense...what she meant was that once a couple has passed their 3-months, they're fully trusting each other and they're relationship is pretty good. and she also said how some couples at our age these days are lasting about 2 weeks.
ha. so true. sorry to be bringing any tears to anyone's eyes but it's true. right? it's quite a pity too. but i think the cause of this is because people don't think things through before doing them. like...well sometimes you think you're ready for something, but once you've had a taste of it, you realise that you're just not ready yet. well, tip from me? guys, don't rush into things unless you're one hundred percent sure that you want to do it because once you've rushed into it, and said yes, then backed out, you've not only broken someone's heart, but made a potentially bad name for yourself. not to mention ruining your own mental health. so yeah. dunno why i just said all of that, but it seemed right and that's what i was thinking. for a bit.
thoughts then drifted off to something else. but i don't quite know.
oh that rings a bell
this is what i was thinking:
"I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough..
IF I LAY HERE
IF I JUST LAY HERE
WOULD YOU LIE WITH ME
AND JUST FORGET THE WORLD"
etc etc
well yeah that's what i was thinking. and this relates to me how?
well it relates to me because i can never find the right words to express what i want to say; what i really feel on the inside
like, words are just not enough to say what i want to say, and there's really nothing else that i do. for me, being ahuman, words are the easiest form of communication. i mean, yes actions do say more than words, and pictures do paint a thousand words, but it's hard to do what you really think, or draw for someone what you're htikning. because it's just so time-consuming! I mean, for someone who talks really fast (like me) it's a heck of a lot easier just to say it. and if you don't say what you need to in a few words, you can just say more. but i guess, when someone does something for you, you feel what they're trying to say, without needing them to say it. but sometimes the meaning just isn't conveyed very well. or sometimes i'm just mis-interpreting what someone's trying to say by what to do for me, or to me.
because soemtimes i just psycho-analyse things, and it seems to be so much worse than it really is. i think this is like a side effect of thinking way too much. i think way too much. seriously. if someone can find a way to stop those voices and all of those thoughts in my head, please do. it's driving me nuts. i mean, people around me can tell when i'm deep in thought, whether or not those thoughts are seemingly painful or distressing or not. like....whenever i'm spaced out and people are having conversations around me, most people would say something like...err hello?? and they'd wave in m yface or soemthing. guys this is NOT what you should do when someone is spaced out. NEVER do that. because they are in a moment of thought taht neeeds to be resolved before the brain puts that thuogth aside and it is brought up later and more htought is required. trust me. i woudl know from experience. so guys, if i ever space out in front of you again, try not to do anything rational to "get me back to earth". give me time. talk gently or say something that will catch my attention. then i'll willingly put that thought aside, and i will know to refer to it later on when i do have time. like, i save up happy and funny thoughts for when i'm completely bored out of my mind. these thoughts are there to cheer me up when i need to be happy or simply to entertain me to kill time. another thing is when i start thinking when talking on the phone. if i ever do that to you, do what certain people like peter and thien do: ask me what i'm thinking about. because if it's something i need to get out tehre, i'll start talking about it. it helps because it emtpies my brain of thought. so i don't have a gigantic headache becaus ei'm trying to expand my head to fit in more thoughts. and if i don't want to talk about it, well dont make me. trust me, if it's something i need to talk about but dont' want to at the time, i will eventually bring it up after a few minutes or after i've had some more time to mull over those thoughts and re-word a few things to make them easier to understand.
alright this is no longer a blog posting. it's a record of the ramblings on that go on in my head all of the time. except not quite as bad because i can think about more things that i can type. soo yeah. now it's just a bunch of words all smooshed (andy's word =)) together to form a somewhat long-winded rant about something or rather.
i dont' even know anymore (hahah dani ;))
so yeahh
i wish i could find a way
to say everything that i feel and everything that i want to say. for some reaosn, i find myself strugglnig to find a way to show people that i really care. eveyrone says to just be myself. yeah. i am myself. all of the time. but does anyone else get the feeling that it's just not enough? maybe i ought to do something special once in a while for some people....
ugh. i'm sick guys
my throat is like
icky
and my head
is terrible
and i've been sniffling all freaking day
and night
and all day yesterday too
and i think the debate killed my throat
ugh.
YUCK.
i hate being sick.
i think waaayy too much

I mean, for someone who talks really fast (like me) it's a heck of a lot easier just to say it. and if you don't say what you need to in a few words, you can just say more. but i guess, when someone does something for you, you feel what they're trying to say, without needing them to say it. but sometimes the meaning just isn't conveyed very well. or sometimes i'm just mis-interpreting what someone's trying to say by what to do for me, or to me.
because soemtimes i just psycho-analyse things, and it seems to be so much worse than it really is. i think this is like a side effect of thinking way too much. i think way too much. seriously. if someone can find a way to stop those voices and all of those thoughts in my head, please do. it's driving me nuts. i mean, people around me can tell when i'm deep in thought, whether or not those thoughts are seemingly painful or distressing or not. like....whenever i'm spaced out and people are having conversations around me, most people would say something like...err hello?? and they'd wave in m yface or soemthing. guys this is NOT what you should do when someone is spaced out. NEVER do that. because they are in a moment of thought taht neeeds to be resolved before the brain puts that thuogth aside and it is brought up later and more htought is required. trust me. i woudl know from experience. so guys, if i ever space out in front of you again, try not to do anything rational to "get me back to earth". give me time. talk gently or say something that will catch my attention. then i'll willingly put that thought aside, and i will know to refer to it later on when i do have time. like, i save up happy and funny thoughts for when i'm completely bored out of my mind. these thoughts are there to cheer me up when i need to be happy or simply to entertain me to kill time. another thing is when i start thinking when talking on the phone. if i ever do that to you, do what certain people like peter and thien do: ask me what i'm thinking about. because if it's something i need to get out tehre, i'll start talking about it. it helps because it emtpies my brain of thought. so i don't have a gigantic headache becaus ei'm trying to expand my head to fit in more thoughts. and if i don't want to talk about it, well dont make me. trust me, if it's something i need to talk about but dont' want to at the time, i will eventually bring it up after a few minutes or after i've had some more time to mull over those thoughts and re-word a few things to make them easier to understand.
alright this is no longer a blog posting. it's a record of the ramblings on that go on in my head all of the time. except not quite as bad because i can think about more things that i can type. soo yeah. now it's just a bunch of words all smooshed (andy's word =)) together to form a somewhat long-winded rant about something or rather.
i dont' even know anymore (hahah dani ;))
so yeahh
i wish i could find a way
to say everything that i feel and everything that i want to say. for some reaosn, i find myself strugglnig to find a way to show people that i really care. eveyrone says to just be myself. yeah. i am myself. all of the time. but does anyone else get the feeling that it's just not enough? maybe i ought to do something special once in a while for some people....
ugh. i'm sick guys
my throat is like
icky
and my head
is terrible
and i've been sniffling all freaking day
and night
and all day yesterday too
and i think the debate killed my throat
ugh.
YUCK.
i hate being sick.

julian? making me think? NO WAY
well julian made me thinka bout something just now
he was telling me about how his band pracitce is going for trung thu's wedding this satruday
when i said "heeeyy i'll get YOU AND NHU AND EVERYOEN to play for me at MY wedding!"
but then julian said "yeah, but i'm sure things will have changed by then"
WELL!
never really thought about it that way
i mean, i alwasy knew that my school life and my school friends will eventually change
because we all ahve to go through that phase
of leaving school and seemingly never seeing each other again.
well i never thought of it like that in conjunction with my church life
my church life seems to be here to stay
but clearly it's not
i mean, even just recently
van's left
i mean.
it's VAN!
van who i thought would be in adeladie for ever
and ever
and never leave because she had such a great life here!
but no.
even the most stable people
even those who seem to have stuck their roots in the deepest sometimes must uproot themselves
like i said
i never thought of people from church leaving
and things at rhuch changing
and all of my friends at church suddnely just barely seeing each other
ebcause work
and study
and other friends
and simply life
gets in the way once in a while
i mean, i seriously thought that this would never end
this whole
going to church
every week
at least twice every week
and seeing the people i love
i seriously never thought that it'd come to the day when all of this will change
hte day when
maybe it could be me?
or maybe it could be one that i love?
like
maybe one day i'll find myself moving to melbourne or somehwere way too far from church
the chruch that i grew up in
the church that is like my second home
no wait. it is my second home...
or maybe it'll be someone else i love
someone else who jsut uproots themselves and leaves
what if it's tuyen?
what if she's the next o go?
but she cant' be
right?
wrong.
julian made me see that today
just before
of all people. it's julian.
just by that simple remark, "i'm sure things will have changed by then, yen"
well
ouch
it really opened my eyes up to the possibility of change
even in the places where i thought wuold be the same forever
sure, i knew that some things would have to change over time,
like eveyrone getting older
me moving up in TN
eveyrone just getting older, changing slightly (as humans do over time)
and the churhc programs just improving
like this whole keeping fit and healthy campaign thing
well that was a big change
but
not as big
as
what julian made me think of
now, i'm feeling so lost
and unsure
julian. damn you for making me think about these things.
but i guess
i really can't doanything abuot it. well, not much
because all i can do is wait it out and hope that this change doenst' affect eveyrone too much
but i am determined
to bring eveyrone back
for my wedding
all of the "oldies" and the "newbies" (who by then will be oldies...) of the TN choir to come back and sing for me and then all of my other friends to just come togehter and sing for me
wow
that would be awesome, if i could get EVERYONE together
all of the people that i love
all the peoplew h ohave meant something to me
in my life
get them all back
wow
i love it.
but even with this feeling of change
when i'm thinking
wow i guess i'll get used to the idea, maybe even get ove rit
i think damn ij' ms till insecure and vulnerable until that day when
i finally adjust to it
well welcome to reality ms president
the world moves on
people change
and it takes a hell of a strong person to adjust to change very quickly
and that's not me
i may be strong
but just not strong enough
hey, it may be news to you, but even ms president cries herself to sleep every night
every night when it seems like the world's caving in
and that nothing seems to be getting better
sure, it seems good during the day
but at night. thats when it all sinks in, when i realise that that good feeling did not sink in to the very centre of me
it just didnt last long enough to have a big enough impact on me
i need a awy to make that happiness last
so that it touches me
and makes every part of me happy
for a LONG time
for ever, preferably
staying strong-well, trying to =)

my happy place
seems to me like i can only be really and truly happy, entirely, one hundred percent happy, where the happiness is felt by each and every ounce of me, in one place. in one world. in that fantasy world where brooms are the everyday flying, if not apparating. in that world where unicorn blood is one of the most powerful substances, one that can give you life, even when inches away from death. but you will live a curse, half-life. but life nonetheless. that one world where everything can change in order to make you happy, in that fantasy, fiction world where everything seems just right. when it doesn't seem right, there is always a way for it to be resolved. no matter what. sometimes it's the heroine who rushes in a the last moment and saves them all. other times, it's the big manly main character who has been keeping the evil guy in check for the whole book. then right at the end, he goes HA I KNEW IT WAS YO UALL ALONG, then he displays all of this evidence that even the most pedantic reader isn't able to pick up. yep. that's where i can be happy. with my nose in a book that can take me anywhere and everywhere. it takes me away to a place where i can be part of the audience, yet still feel what everyone is feeling. see? i don't need to be like edward cullen to know what eveyrone's thinking. i just need a good book...and some time. a LOT of time...
gimme some rein
guys i appreciate your concern, but give me some rein please
please.
gimme some room to breathe for a bit
i don't relaly need yo uguys hanging onto me all of the time
let me test my limits again
let me push my borders
or else i'll never know my full potential
don't need to worry
i won't drown immediately
you guys just need to give me a chance to find out what i'm capable of
so yeah let me go for a bit
and don't try stopping me
because you won't be able to
no matter what you say
.
please.

This is gonna be about us...
so this is gonna be about us
mine and dani's (and weetyr's) adventures
but mostly mine and dani;s
because
well
ebcause weetyr died on us
he just LEFT
on us
and abandoned me
to be alone
with
dani
O_O <--traumatised look
it's ok guys
dani's sitting right here
reading htis as i' writing it
so she's consenting to it all...(read: she hasn't hurt me yet)
YET
but it's ok
so
today dani invited herself to my place
because she had nothing on
and sadly
VERY sadly
she'd brought a change of clothes
in preparation
knowing that she'd just crash at someone's hosue
TEEEHEHEHE
and you knwo waht?
IT HAD TO BE MINE >__>
but yes
then
she invited weetyr over as well
but yeah it was ALL GOOD
and then yes
after school our usual mob plus dani and weetyr
walked home
and we stopped my place
stopped for a while whilst dani and katrina had their love affairs with the lamp post.
well you know guys, dani needs to feel loved SOMEHOW =)
love you dani! WE LOVE YO uno need to freaking stroke the lamp post
so anyway
um yeah
then we went swimming
and talked
in the pool
yumyy...
teeehee
and then we ate dinner
and dani used chopsticks for the first time in her life
IT WAS HILAIORUS
worse
than
andy
playing
piano
with
two
hands
now we can see how bad it REALLy was
see? i just gave you guys a way to think about how bad it was
soo yeah
a comparison usually helps =)
sorry andy for you using your piano prowess (or lack of)
THEN
weetyr went home

THE TALK
well today during recess
mr dama gave me THE TALK
alright, so it wasn't THE talk
not the birds and the bees one (LOL JACK and mitchell and me were t rying to figure out why it's called the BIRDS and the BEES, i mean IT MAKES NO SENSE! yeah we never came up with an answer....)
it was more about
um
well i shall tell the story, i guess
so during homegorup in the morning dama asked to talk to me during recess
and i said that i had to get my muffin first
because it is TUESDAY and i hate tuesdays and muffins make things a LOT better
so then he said, fine after yo uget your muffin
recess time (after freaking freakin MATHS...) he kicked some people out of GOLD1B and we talked in there
he basically told me how
he's noticed that i've just been so
i dunno
all over hte place
for the past few weeks
like i'ma ctually all over the place
he said he'd picked it up from "little comments that you drop, and the way you rush around all of the time tyring to get eveyrthing done"
well that's true
that's VERY true
i HAVE been running around everywhere trying to get things done
ie, today me and weetyr were late for the SRC meeting AGAIN T___T
president and vice
late
together LOL
yeah he was waiting for me
then i had to wait for him
because he forgot where he left his constitution and i'm like IT"S IN UR MATHS BOOK!
so anyway
i sprinted down to the library and we ran to the room together
except
he made it there first
damn his long legs
and i ended up crashing into the doorway. ouch. LOL
but yes
yeah like i said
i'm constantly runing around getting things DONE
ebcause things need to be done
because well
if they dont get done
how are they going to get done?
GAAHAHAHA LOL LOL at my last few lines. how lame T___T
so anyway
yeah mr dama told me to work hard
get things done
and he said this
"be humble on the outside and you can be vain on the inside as much as you want. appear to be humble because humility and pure talent and hard work equals success. with those, you are unstoppable no matter what you do in life."
he asked me what my goals are for this year
well here they are:
1. kick some IB ass
2. not...not...not get too wound up in little things
3. make the most of my time
and he told me not to worry about IB because well, it's only IB
>__> hmm
and he otld me that i needed to sort out my priorities in life and just slow down
because even he's noticed that i'm busy all of the time
and like
have no lunch times
EVER anymore T__T
I AM GOIGN TO CHANGE THAT
once this debate's over, i'll have more free time, yes? and then when the next debate comes up...err yeah it's this massive cycle LOL of hard work and debates
even michaela (SRC in year 9) has noticed that i'm really busy. see how hard it was to reschedule an SRC meeting today? yeah and i'm not even making the next one, so weetyr will get to run it. sigh
and mr dama also told me to atke up every opportunity to speak in front of a crowd because by the end of the year, all of my public speaking skills will be like DYNAMO
oooooh yeah
OOOH YEAH
BRING IT DUDES
yeah i guess that's pretyt much all that he told me
oh and he told me to make more time for the important stuff
like
READING
MATHS (>_________>)
etc etc
well
reading time?
yeah you all know that i have none atm
i'm MAKING some
don't you worry
yeah he told me to find out where all of my time's going
and he also asked if i'm very busy outside of school
and you know what i've realised guys?
well i have realised
that outside of school
all i have is church
love it
it's like
friday night=sports night at church (read, bludge meet friends night for me)
saturday night=choir practice at church
sunday morning=church

by going out all day
to buy her present...

dani
andy

so this is the story
we met at my house at 1.30 then played piano LOL and sang fora bit
then left the house at 2
dad dropped us off at burnside village
where we mucked around for a bit
and went book shopping first
then we went everywhere else
cbs naming eveyrthing
bu the idea is that we just bought anything random that had soemthing that reminded us of her
and we went with a MACKENZIE theme
especially since all the mackenzie stuff that we ofund was written and spelt correctly
this is what we got her:
1. an electric smiggle eraser
-come on, it's SMIGGLE it says katrina all over it
2. a copy of "A Walk to Remember"
-she loves this book, and recommended it to me and now i'm in love with it (in case you have not noticed)
-the note on it said "Forever by your side"..then it had a retarded heart drawn by dani
3. a copy of "Wicked"
-dani and katrina did a medley from the musical
-and she loves this musical too
4. a copy of "Always Mackenzie"
-well no idea what the story's about but it had her name and it was spelt correctly
5. a bag from "Mackenzie's shoes"
-the note said "If you were wondering where the shoes are, we didnt' get you any"
-yeah andy and weetyr went into the shop and asked them for a bag and we got one!
yes that's what we got her
so meaningful and tuochgin wasn't it?
and we were SO EXCITED whens he was opening the pressents
i'll bet we were MORE excited than she was =D
so then we watched "He's just not that into you"
then went home
yeah
cbs with details =D
sigh more later

it's mine guys
let me make my own mistakes

but don't stop me from doing something that i can learn from
My awesome and extended family
well, eveyrone knows that i have a massive family
asian=ridiculously huge families
you ought to knwo that
it's general knowledge for all who hang aorund with at least one asian friend
and if you're asian, SHAME ON YOU if you did not know that
so anyway
my support network stretches out pretty far
and those closest to me i treat as my family
they are like borthers and sisterst o me
and since i grew up ebing the eldest
i had no idea of what life is really like
and i had noone who i could ask advice and opinions from
if you hvae an older sibling
or were blessed with more than one
consider yourself very lucky
because growing up withuot anyone to talk to
without anyone who can show you the ropes is hard
it means finding things out for the first time by yourself
true, it's good to make your own mistakes
but still it woudl hav ebeen nice to have someone telling me what a guy likes in a girl
or how to do my hair in a way that would catch people's eyes
i have older cousins but they're mnostly about 10 years older than me (on my dad's side)
acutlaly more thant hat
and the cousins on my mum's side
well there's only one who i can really talk to
and he's phong
LOL phong's not the type to give advice about how love works or anything like that
he's one to lean on when i need
but not one to give advice
and my older female cousins
mai chi
lan chi
linh chi
they're just
well they dont seem to feel the need to bother with someone like me
i'm just so much younger than them
and perhaps so much more accomplished than they were at my age (quote by andy)
i know that this is the case with my cousins on my dads side
they jsut didnt' have the chances that i did
and with the chis well, i don't even know anymore. i don't care what they think anymore
i've broken away from them over the years
they can say that my dreams are shit
but i dont' give a crap
believe me, i've had all of that from them before "oh yen why do you want to study this? it's so..."
yeah
but anyway
because of my lack of older siblings
or older cousins who are able to act the part of an older sibling, (once again, besides phong)
[btw, my cousins on my dad's side ARE like my odler siblings. MUCH older siblings LOL like 15-20 years apart.]
i've learnt to seek whatever i need from an older sibling from my other friends
mainly church friends
atm i have a definite older "sister"
and a definite older "brother"
by "definite" i mean that they act the part
they fill in those holes in my life
for SURE
they'd never abandon me
and i know it
My definite older "sister" is Nhu
she looks out for me as if i were one of her longhairedverytallwithglasses REAL sisters
and trust me, she has enough maternal love for them to spare some for me
she teaches me stuff
she listens to the stories i have ot tell, when noone else would find interest in them
she can relate to me
she is plain awesome
love her =D
My definite older "brother" is Thien
hells yeah
he looks out for me too
he looks AFTER me
like seriously
at WYD YEN PUT ON ANOTHER JACKET yoU"RE GOING TO GET HYPOTHERMIA
or something like that
he asked me if i wascold
i said i wasn't
he looked at me and said yen your'e cold go put on another jacket
yes i WAS cold
but i didn't want him to wait
while i had to dig up another jacket
but he did wait anyway
and HE teaches me things too
he teaches me the stuff that he's learning at med school
it's quite interesting and time consuminga nd helps the time pass when we're going on stupidly ridiculously long walks
our awesome pilgrimage didnt' seem that long with thien by my side and talking ot me endlessly
anyways
i have other people who i consider broithers and sisters
Julian, my nooby older brother who's intelligence fails to beat mine (=D)
he's like the perfect older brother to me
he tries to make me ride a bike
i DO KNOW HOW JULIAN =D
yes i proved it to him ...that i can ride a bike, that is
and yes he was impressed =D
he knows me way too well
i know him too well
we're on the same page...most of the time
unless he's just too slow for me LOL
music. yes.
go us.
we rock the world when it comes to music ...and with nhu in the picture
we're done with this world
we're ready to take on the next world in terms of music
believe me, Jean Marie is incredibly lucky
i'd love to have a brother like Julian
nooby. incredibly hilarious. and a fool at times
but he cares for real
and we can talk for hours on end about anything. and everything
he may not be able to comprehend my mind at times
but yes. he's scared o f me when i'm mad, and he shuold be
Another older sister would have to be Van
Van. teaching me to play hide and seek like an expert
making me laugh all the time
about everything
me and her
we're on the same wavelength
yep
same frequency
we understand each other's lame jokes
and we drill Julian together
we're a team
and still unbeatable when it comes to paying out our loved ones =D
and i love it how we still get owned by each other
LOL
hope that never changes
it better not...>=
then there's Peter
and Tuyen
and Thao
and Tu
and Thy
Peter's more than a brother to me.
he plays the part of an older brother more than perfectly, but he's like the rowdy rebel brother of mine whilst Thien is the smart down ot earth one
both are perfect
Peter is like ...the one who makes me laugh at stupid things and the one who shows me the fun side of life, keeps me going through it all
he argues with everyone
but never fails to defend me
on my side all of the time
overprotective
perfect.
yep.
Tuyen, Thao, Tu and Thy are my dance buddies LOL
TTTTY....>__> yeah i noticed that too
and they keep paying me out about it
and they're all reallyspecial in their own way
i don't see them as family
just the awesomest friendsi could ask for at church
they keep me laughing
i'm closer to some than others, depending on what we're talking about, but i guess that's the same wtih every friendship group
i could go on forever about my loved ones
but i'll save that for later...

Fear
What is fear?
Fear can be defined in many ways
like my fear of snails...and sunflowers
ew
but this type of fear that keeps running throuhg my head for the last...few hours is different
it's fear of the unknown
it's fear of the future
it's fear of chance
fear of change
Okay so i was doing maths hw.
ew
i know
why waste time doing maths homework while i could be posting more blogs, you ask
well i agree
but i don't wanna fail maths
seriously. i'm asian
asian=good at maths
yeah i'm alright at it
i just hate it and i think it's completely pointless
who says i' goign to need quadratic functions in my future? (dont' anyone ansewr that...)
ah.
my future
it's uncertain
i have some short term goals
and then i have htose long-term goals
i don't even know if i'm going on the right track for an awesome and happy life
but these goals of mine
are just things that i would like to accomplish before...
well before i just can't anymore
my future
i'm actually terrified of change
i dont' like it one bit
it makes things so much more complicated
just when it seems like you've finally found your place
and you're sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the life you have
life throws you this bomb
and you can't do anything about it
you can try to dodge it
but it's like a homing missile and it just keeps following yo uareound until you pluck up the courage to face it head on
and then it blows
right in your face
yeah dudes it hurts
i'm sure that everyone out there has gone through change at least once in their lives before
but see, maybe you've learnt how to cope with change over the times
but me?
i like to think that i've leanrt how to deal with it
yet i still find myself just
...
seemingly breaking down inside
but noone can tell =D
but you know, now that i've told you this, maybe you will be able to spot it eveyr now andthen
it doesnt' happen all the time
in fact, nowadays, it rarely happens
but when it does
it's quite bad
it's the result of me overthinking everything
i DO overthink everything
ask anyone
they would know =D
but see, i've experienced change in many forms
and let me tell you you just can't hide from it
just like life, you can't hide
if it was meant to happen to you, it'll happen
example
i went to Melbourne in the last christmas holidays
and it was the most awesomest time that i had had in a LONG time
seriously, before i left home here in RADelaide, it seemed to me like my life was just a complete mess
there were only a few elements of my life that seemed remotely close to normal
and those were ...
err yeah let's not go there
but the rest of my life
my school friends were unstable
my church friends
were also kind of...
i just wans't so sure about anything anymore
and i was always so uptight about everything
and i was just telling Thien and Peter that the one thing that i needed right then was to get away
get away from everything that was crappy in life
but then again
i would be leaving behind (even if for just a few weeks) so many loved ones
loved ones i wished would stay the same
such as Peter. Thien. Tuyen was coming with me, so i needn't have worried about her. Thao. Vi. Tu. Thy. Julian (noooob), VAN, Nhu. and everyone else i had who i knew i could REALLY depend on at the time
this was before i found a nice awesome bunch of school friends, but that comes later in the story
so i took a chance
i took the chance of leaving home for a few weeks
go to melbourne by myself
spend quality bonding time with cousins
and just be FREE for those two weeks
tuyen was on the same flight as me, but we didn't see each other again until we were both back in adelaide (she came homebefore me)
yes. i took the chance
it was a big chance
i mean
think about it, i was leaving behind all of my friends
in the worst time possible
right smack BANG in the middle of my big change time
right when i was so unstable and my life seemed so uncertain
yeah i left it all behind to...settle while i was aw ay
yeah guys? it kinda didn't settle
my mistake there was thinking that if i didn't doanything about it, and just ran away from it
it would eventually fix itself
WELL IT DIDN'T
after the awesomest 2 weeks that i had had in a LONG time, i came home
back to RADelaide
bursting with stories to tell
bursting with so much to TELL, so much to talk about, so much to laugh about
and you know what?
whilst in melborne, the only RADelaidians whom i had contact with were Peter (every night on the phone for about 2 hours), Tuyen (but she doesnt really count because she wasn't at home at the time), Andrew (not much, but the teeniest bit), Thien (he gave me a webcam tour of his house at like 3 in the morning), Weetyr (noob), Julian (noob =D, kept me laughing at him all the time). those were the main ones
WELl what about eveyrone else, you ask?
well, i found out when i came home
that everyone had moved on with life
it seemed to me like they had gotten used to talkingabout me in the past tense
they seemed to have gotten used to me not being there with them all of the time
they had simply moved on without me
i came back to my first choir practice in like 4 weeks
my GOSH it was terrible
it was horrible.
absolute crap.
for starters i had SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT
and you know me
if i need to talk
i do
but i just couldn't
because noone else understood about what an awesome time i had had, sleeping late, wa king up late, gorging on junk all the time, drinking a litre of milk every day etc etc
and noone else seemed interested
they had all moved on
well that was a taste of change
that i did not like
and then after that?
well, after that schools tarted again
and well more change
change after change
friends changed
people changed
and now i'm here
with my new friends
well not new friends
we've known each other since year 8
but we we re never this close
and yes i lost lots of people in the process
people say they value me as a friend
i guess i just didn't realise how much they did value me unitl just recently
i was always under the impression that i was the only one who needed my friends as much as i did
but clearly i wasn't
so much change has occcured since...
since well, since my last birthday, even
new school life
new church life
new friends
van's gone now
and when she comes back
it'll be very different
it WILL
even htough everyone says no, she'll come back in the holidays and we'll all be good again
no. it just doens't work that way
because life's not that simple
before van left
it was that solid group
always
me, nhu, van, julian, vi, thy, sometimes phong.
but you know
now it's down to just
me, nhu, julian
vi and thy and phone sometimes
but solidly, me and nhu and julian
such a diverse group =D
seriously
i'm the youngets
nhu's the oldest
i'm only in year 10, i'm the baby
julian's in year 11 the noob
nhu's in her 3rd year of uni the big sister
she's like my big sister
julian's like the big brother i never had
van's like my big sister too =D
but the thing is
van's now MIA
she'll come back
she will
but when she does, her little baby sister wil have grown up
not to mentio her REAL sisters
and her friends
and our group will just not be the same anymore
yes we'll try
we will
but there willa lways be that something that has interfered
that's called time
time, and change
so now me, nhu and julian must fend for ourself whilst we w ait for van to come back and help us vanquish julian at hide and seek once and for all.
theres's so much to say
this is another reason against my going to japan in september
besides missing out on the TN concert for 09 (something i have NEVER done before)
and missing out on many other events happening in September/October, namely birthdays...etc
i don't change
if i went to Melbourne for 10 days and everything changed and it was all weird for about a week. it it took me a week to fix everything after only 10 days of being about 800kms away
imagine what it woul dbe like
after 2 weeks of a different language
a dfifernet culture
so far away...
i just don't want any more change
no more involuntary change
this is why i need to know who's really by my side
because those who really are by my side
would stick by me during all of this change crap
for instance
at school
change of everything, change of friends
who stuck by me?
who became incredibly distant?
it doesn't matter how close they were to me beofre, all that matters is who stuck by me thorugh the aftermath
and you know who did?
Nat, Susan, Kat.
Amber was lost
Jeni.
let's not even go there today, people
it's just
too .
hard.
change is not good
it's unevitable
everyone thinks so
i'm trying to work around this thing called changed
and keep everyone near and dear
but it's really hard
when so many elements are working against me
so stand by me please
Fear can be defined in many ways
like my fear of snails...and sunflowers
ew
but this type of fear that keeps running throuhg my head for the last...few hours is different
it's fear of the unknown
it's fear of the future
it's fear of chance
fear of change
Okay so i was doing maths hw.
ew
i know
why waste time doing maths homework while i could be posting more blogs, you ask
well i agree
but i don't wanna fail maths
seriously. i'm asian
asian=good at maths
yeah i'm alright at it
i just hate it and i think it's completely pointless
who says i' goign to need quadratic functions in my future? (dont' anyone ansewr that...)
ah.
my future
it's uncertain
i have some short term goals
and then i have htose long-term goals
i don't even know if i'm going on the right track for an awesome and happy life
but these goals of mine
are just things that i would like to accomplish before...
well before i just can't anymore
my future
i'm actually terrified of change
i dont' like it one bit
it makes things so much more complicated
just when it seems like you've finally found your place
and you're sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the life you have
life throws you this bomb
and you can't do anything about it
you can try to dodge it
but it's like a homing missile and it just keeps following yo uareound until you pluck up the courage to face it head on
and then it blows
right in your face
yeah dudes it hurts
i'm sure that everyone out there has gone through change at least once in their lives before
but see, maybe you've learnt how to cope with change over the times
but me?
i like to think that i've leanrt how to deal with it
yet i still find myself just
...
seemingly breaking down inside
but noone can tell =D
but you know, now that i've told you this, maybe you will be able to spot it eveyr now andthen
it doesnt' happen all the time
in fact, nowadays, it rarely happens
but when it does
it's quite bad
it's the result of me overthinking everything
i DO overthink everything
ask anyone
they would know =D
but see, i've experienced change in many forms
and let me tell you you just can't hide from it
just like life, you can't hide
if it was meant to happen to you, it'll happen
example
i went to Melbourne in the last christmas holidays
and it was the most awesomest time that i had had in a LONG time
seriously, before i left home here in RADelaide, it seemed to me like my life was just a complete mess
there were only a few elements of my life that seemed remotely close to normal
and those were ...
err yeah let's not go there
but the rest of my life
my school friends were unstable
my church friends
were also kind of...
i just wans't so sure about anything anymore
and i was always so uptight about everything
and i was just telling Thien and Peter that the one thing that i needed right then was to get away
get away from everything that was crappy in life
but then again
i would be leaving behind (even if for just a few weeks) so many loved ones
loved ones i wished would stay the same
such as Peter. Thien. Tuyen was coming with me, so i needn't have worried about her. Thao. Vi. Tu. Thy. Julian (noooob), VAN, Nhu. and everyone else i had who i knew i could REALLY depend on at the time
this was before i found a nice awesome bunch of school friends, but that comes later in the story
so i took a chance
i took the chance of leaving home for a few weeks
go to melbourne by myself
spend quality bonding time with cousins
and just be FREE for those two weeks
tuyen was on the same flight as me, but we didn't see each other again until we were both back in adelaide (she came homebefore me)
yes. i took the chance
it was a big chance
i mean
think about it, i was leaving behind all of my friends
in the worst time possible
right smack BANG in the middle of my big change time
right when i was so unstable and my life seemed so uncertain
yeah i left it all behind to...settle while i was aw ay
yeah guys? it kinda didn't settle
my mistake there was thinking that if i didn't doanything about it, and just ran away from it
it would eventually fix itself
WELL IT DIDN'T
after the awesomest 2 weeks that i had had in a LONG time, i came home
back to RADelaide
bursting with stories to tell
bursting with so much to TELL, so much to talk about, so much to laugh about
and you know what?
whilst in melborne, the only RADelaidians whom i had contact with were Peter (every night on the phone for about 2 hours), Tuyen (but she doesnt really count because she wasn't at home at the time), Andrew (not much, but the teeniest bit), Thien (he gave me a webcam tour of his house at like 3 in the morning), Weetyr (noob), Julian (noob =D, kept me laughing at him all the time). those were the main ones
WELl what about eveyrone else, you ask?
well, i found out when i came home
that everyone had moved on with life
it seemed to me like they had gotten used to talkingabout me in the past tense
they seemed to have gotten used to me not being there with them all of the time
they had simply moved on without me

waiting
you know what really sucks?
waiting
waiting really really sucks
whether it's waiting for someone to come over
or waiting for a day to come
it all just sucks
especailly when yo uhave nothing to DO!
so
don't you just wish you could speed up time when you have nothing to do?
but thenagain i guess it'd be a waste of such good time
when yo uCOUDL go do soemthing
but no
you just want that thing to come faster and earlier
hwo stupid
HOW STUPID
hmm what a tricky topic
oh well
still
my point still stands
WAITING SUCKS
waiting

it all just sucks
especailly when yo uhave nothing to DO!
so
don't you just wish you could speed up time when you have nothing to do?
but thenagain i guess it'd be a waste of such good time
when yo uCOUDL go do soemthing
but no
you just want that thing to come faster and earlier
hwo stupid
HOW STUPID
hmm what a tricky topic
oh well
still
my point still stands
WAITING SUCKS
so who's by my side?
how do you know?
like, how would i know who's by my side or not?
and who's REALLY there for me?
i guess the only way is to test that friendship
to see who really sticks by you when you're going through something crappy
that is breaking you
and you can see who your true friends really are, because those who only act like a true friend will turn away and leave you when you need them the most
i think that i woul dbe able to find out
if i were in Jamie Sullivan's position
if i were in her situation
i would find out who my REAL friends are
because eveyrone else simply would not care
they'd all just
lay off
and pretend like nothing's wrong
and they'll just avoid me
and not be able to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth anymore
that's all i want from a friend
someone to love and have around all the time
someone to depend on
someone i can trust with everything
someone i can tell things to, and know for certain that the next day noone else will know
someone i can just talk to about anything
i guess these are the qualifications for a bf too =D
a partner
well same story
how would you know that they're true to you?
my answer
they are completely comfortable around you
they make yo ufeel at ease all the time
they ahve that uncanny ability to make you smile no matter how crappy a mood you're in
they give you warm feelings inside
they make you HAPPY
they leave out time for you whenever you ask for it
they support you no matter what you do
so wait.
i'm still not sure
bceause someone who pretends to be a friend
or just ins't that true a friend
or someone who fakes their love then
well
they'd know to show all of these qualities, wouldnt theY?
i guess there's only one REAL way of determining who is true and who istn'
and that is
to test the relationship
now don't ask me how to do that
because i really don't know
do something crazy
cut all your hair off
dye it a very TB colour
and see if they stick by you even if they hate TBs and rate them as the WORST status you can get to
i'm sure i'm doing alright
but
i just hope that my inferences are right
i just hope that i'm not putting too much faith and trust into people who are just fooling me so well
that i just havne't noticed it yet.
ohw ell
i ugess we'll just see how things turn out
...

It all comes down to who's by your side...
A Walk to Remember
by Nicholas Sparks
read this guys. (if you haven't yet)
READ IT
i'm telling you guys
to read this book
it explained so much for me when i read it
i'm reading it again
for like the third time, and it seems to me like every time i read it, some other element of my life becomes clearer
something new makes more sense with each time that i read it
and my most favourite part
is when Landon goes to ask Jamie to the dance
when Jamie says that she'll go,
on one condition
here, let me extract from the book:
"Sure is a beautiful day," I said, stalling.
"Yes, it is."
"Warm, too."
"That's beacuse you're in the sun."
I looked around, feeling the pressure building. "Why, I'll bet there's not a single cloud in the whole sky."
This time Jamie didn't respond, and we sat in silence for a few moments.
"Landon," she finally said, "you didn't come to talk about the weather, did you?"
"Not really."
"Then why are you here?"
The moment of truth had arrived, and I cleared my throat.
"Well...I wanted to know if you were going to the homecoming dance."
"Oh," she said. Her tone made it seem as if she were unaware that such a thing existed. I fidgeted in my seat and waited for her answer.
"I really hadn't planned on going," she finally said.
"But if someone asked you to go, you might?"
It took a moment for her to answer.
"I'm not sure," she said, thinking carefully. "I suppose I might go, if I got the chance. I've never been to a homecoming dance before."
"They're fun," I said quickly. "Not too much fun, but fun."
Especially when compared to my other options, I didn't add.
She smiled at my turn of phrase. "I'd have to talk to my father, of course, but if he said it was okay, then I guess I could."
In the tree beside the porch, a bird started to chirp noisily, as if he knew I wasn't supposed to be here. I concentrated on the sound, tyring to calm my nerves. Just two days ago I couldn't have imagined myeslf even thinking about it, but suddenly there I was, listening to myself as I spoke the magic words.
"Well, would you like to go to the dance with me?"
I could tell she was surprised. I think she believed that the little lead-up to the question probably had to do with someone else asking her. Sometimes teenagers sent their friends out to "scout the terrain," so to speak, s oas not to face possible rejection. Even though Jamie wasn't much like other teenagers, I'm sure she was familiar with the concept, at least in theory.
Instead of answering right away, though, Jamie glanced away for a long moment. I got a sinking feeling in my stomach beacuse I assumed she was going to say no. Visions of my mother, puke, and Carey flooded through my mind, and all of a sudden I regretted the way I'd behaved towards her all these years. I kept remembering all the times I'd teased her or called her father a fornicator or simply made fun of her behind her back. Just when I was feeling awful about the whole thing and imagining how I would ever be able to avoid Carey for five hours, she turned and faced me again. She had a slight smile on her face.
"I'd love to," she finally said, "on one condition."
I steadied myself, hoping it wasn't somehting too awful.
"Yes?"
"you have to promie that you won't fall in love with me."
I knew she was kidding by the way she laughed, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sometimes, I had to admit, Jamie had a pretty good sense of humour.
I smiled and gave her my word."
I love it.
How sweet and cute and sentimental is it?
He was scared to ask her =D
even though she was his last resort
I shan't spoil the story for you BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO READ IT, right?
but i do have somehting else so say about this book
Katrina recommended this book to me, at the perfect time
right when i needed a reason, an explanation, a definition, she happened to come up to me with this book
and told me to read it
no wait, actually she told me to find it and read it, and it also just happened that Weetyr had this book on his phone
which i spent a whole day reading
Then katrina lent me a copy of the book
man. from the first line
i was hooked
and i kept on reading
laughing and crying along the way
and the time in my life that Katrina came to me with this book
was a time last year
when i was questioning
WHAT IS LOVE?
i mean, think about it
noone can acutally define it to me
i asked so many people
i asked everyone from people at school, to people at home
people at church
close friends to influential teachers
they each came up wtih their own ideas of what love is to them
and
wow, did the answers vary depending on how close they are to me
BUT
as soon as i read this part in A Walk to Remember
my answer was found.
guys, this is the definition that Nicholas Sparks (GREAT GREAT man) wrote in his book,
which i believe, is also found in the Bible
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love taks no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes."
-Corinthians
My definition is slightly different, to match my life, and my experiences, but this is the core of my definition of love.
love is everywhere
and love has its varied strengths, depending on different instances
but yes.
and btw
the title is taken from the front cover of the copy of A Walk to Remember that I have
It all comes down to who's by your side
so true.
and i just hope that i don't lose those who are closest to me
=D
so guys, stay by my side and i'll stay by yours
Always and FOREVER
by Nicholas Sparks

guys, this is the definition that Nicholas Sparks (GREAT GREAT man) wrote in his book,
which i believe, is also found in the Bible
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love taks no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes."
-Corinthians
My definition is slightly different, to match my life, and my experiences, but this is the core of my definition of love.
love is everywhere
and love has its varied strengths, depending on different instances
but yes.
and btw
the title is taken from the front cover of the copy of A Walk to Remember that I have
It all comes down to who's by your side
so true.
and i just hope that i don't lose those who are closest to me
=D
so guys, stay by my side and i'll stay by yours
Always and FOREVER

my list
my list of htings to research
in the future
when i'm a famous whateveriendupdoing
most likely, at the moment, psychologist
1. why people are oddly and extremely clumsy like Danielle. does it REALLY have anything to do with her neurotransmitters (or lack of)?
2. why people wake up in th emiddle of the night at the same time, continuously. how does the internal clock work? and what does it have to do with your brain and affecting the way you work?
shall be adding to this list as time goes by
shoudl be interesting, the end result

neurotransmitters
WELL
i may have said this before
but i may not have
but Science of the Mind is by far my most favourite subject this year
BY FAR
at the moment
we're studying the nervous system and how it links to the brain and everything
this is a psychology course..in case you hadn't figured that out yet but yes. it is a psychology course all about the BRAIN and the neurons and stuffs in your body. that relate to your brain and why people do things.
WELL GUYS!
NEWSFLASH!
DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY!
I HAVE JUST MADE THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY IN THE HISTORY OF THE NORWOOD MORIALTA HIGH SCHOOL!
or just our awesome posse AT the Norwood Morialta High School...
anyways
my discovery concerns our beloved friend, Danielle Greaves
note. it's grEaves. NOT GRAVES
LOL our substitute called her Danielle GRAVES today and she went SPASTIC. seriously. she had a nervous breakdown because the dude found it SO HARD to say her name right. LOL. and she was saying this to ME. of ALL people. she was complaining about ppl saying her name wrong. TO ME. pssh now she knows how i feel
ANYWAY
my discovery was made whilst i was filling in a worksheet for my favourite subject, Science of the Mind. And i came across this paragraph. No, i did NOT write this paragraph, i did NOT make it up, it was written by whoever it was who wrote up this worksheet. it's from some book, but CBS finding its bibliography.
BUT MY DISCOVERY is the link that i made between this one sentence and our beloved Danielle. Oh, we love her...don't we guys? =D
so here's the paragraph:
"Special chemicals called neurotransmitters pass messages between neurons. Neurotransmitters are used up during activity and are replaced when we sleep. When we lack neurotransmitters we can become clumsy. This helps to explain why we sometimes bump into or drop things when we are tired."
my special addition:
"In Danielle's case, she was born without neurotransmitters."
Yes i LOVE Science of the Mind. It clears everything up for me =D
and hence, i have solved the mystery.
never again shall anyone ask WHY to Danielle. Or HOW
because i know the answer
SHE HAS NO NEUROTRANSMITTERS!

I've seen better days
I have.
i've seen better days
and just after i posted my last blog
i heard this song
like, just by chance it started playing on my ipod
"Better Days" by Pete Murray
just thought i'd find some of the lyrics to show you
"I needed my friends there I just turned around
They were gone without a trace
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Now I have just started
And I won't be done till the end
There's nothing I have lost
That was once placed upon the palm of my hands
And all of these hard times
Have faded round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
Till I can help my friends"
last line
i can't wait till i can help my friends
the othe rline
i needed my friends
but they weren't there
WELL DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
well iguess it does a lil bit
...
but i
am
working towards
getting over it
and just moving on
because clearly the other person doesn't want me to hang around much longer
guess all i can do now is jsut give up
and do what phong's telling me to do
leave herbe
if she needs me
she'lll ask
otherwise
her loss.
