Christmas Eve!

Few more hours to Christmas Day,
amidst all the parties and gifts, it's definitely a day of reflection.

Heading out for a Christmas dinner with Daniel, no idea what's he up to this year.
Can't wait for brunch with the family tomorrow.


My first Christmas without my dad....

stoned.

Something to lift my mood after 4 days of madness.
Been clocking long hours at work; staring at the computer screen has made my eyes really stoned.

Saddest thing is, I really need to speak to someone who can cheer me up.
I don't need to be doubted, I really miss you.
I just want to see and talk to you.
peacefully.

It's Broadway Beng!

Finally a great reward after the end of the term! Broadway Beng was truly entertaining from the beginning to the end. Check out Daniel's review here




I can't wait for this year to be over. Let the new year come, which means I'm ready to leave home. I'm not bragging, but I know I've worked hard the last few years for this- the ability to travel. It's the worse thing to accept, having to work, at the age of 18.

Maybe I'm expecting my family to be like me. My bad. I really didn't know I had to be considerate to people's feelings when I had to shoulder the burden of the family at 19. It amazes me how my sister can be so ignorant and self-absorbed with her issues. The idea of people actually hoping for good things to happen to them without making any effort never fails to leave me in awe.

If I could, I would really love to let go and leave. Mum has been telling me to leave the country when I'm done with school. Yet it still worries me that my siblings aren't mature enough to understand the situation and make things work.

Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations where we have to start maturing and become independent. We don't really have the luxury to grow up at a "normal" pace. It's really not something we can control. By maturing, it means to handle things like an adult.

Try googling what's it to "handle things like an adult".

Goodbye to T309

Somehow, I'm pretty happy with how everything fell into place eventually.
It was a great experience working with them (except the guy on the right).
((((:

School's out once again. The excitement sunk in promptly at 1045am sharp when the GMI paper ended. Bitter sweet it was because many are graduating and Shalini isn't gonna be with me next term. My final trimester's going to be tough without that Indian girl. :(

This whole week has been a whirlwind, stressful and hectic one. But there's this great sense of achievement knowing that I've lived through Campaign Management and GMI.

I shan't be greedy but who doesn't want to end their week perfectly? Work has been bugging me lately. My family is going through some hiccups. Sometimes, I wished I had an older sibling.

It really doesn't help to be the oldest in the family, without a dad, mum's being tied down by some financial issues, facing unpaid bills and having two ignorant adolescents who quite unfortunately are born to the same family but cry bloody murder at each other almost all the time.

Well, nothing irks me more than trying to solve silly teenage "domestic" hatred with a desperately concerned mother nagging at me to do so. It just doesn't end, does it?

bah!

Annoyance at it's maximum.

So to my dearest super immature and ignorant siblings Justin & Joey, I know that you guys are going through a phase (also known as "growing up") where you think you're so mature/rational/whatsoever, please stop hating each other for God's sake.

You will be entitled to do so when you actually start contributing to the family. Like when you stop taking allowance from mummy and start paying your own bills. So for now, STFU and make peace.

Thank you very much.

Is this why we need to have "child-like" minds?

The more you read, the more you know.

We treasure knowledge as much as we do with money.

We want to be sophisticated, but continue to fall back on primitive mindsets of religions.

So what do we do?

Nothing? Just because the truth is often impossible to obtain? Or is it that we've been told not to doubt, not to question, not to even think about it?

The world is so big out there. Yet we think of our miniscule lives as the whole damn universe.
*imagining the aliens laughing at us now*

Something interesting & something to ponder

Did you get the message?
Now I'm paranoid...

This is the end of week 10. 2 more weeks to go before school's out and then I'm done with my 3rd trimester at Murdoch. 1 more trimester to go.. It's getting scarier as it approaches.

I'm at a stage where I catch myself constantly exploring ideas on how to kick start my career amidst all the worrying about assignment submission. But the last 2 years have taught me good- plans do change; regardless of how much you try to stick to it. Then again, it's almost impossible to live without a rough plan. 'Cause you'll end up missing the opportunity when it appears.

This December is going to be great. I guess for me, it's going to be a time to loosen up my grip on school and start thinking about my first step to a long career journey..

Oh, how boring a person I am..

I've been having bouts of inspirations to blog. But they don't seem to last for more than a minute. Never mind, I'll go sleep then.

Annoying.

Maybe I'll blog more when I'm done with all the submissions; they're distracting from my play time. I shall blog about how pissannoying those people at the ICA are.

If you can't treat your fellow Asians with respect, don't expect the Westerners to respect us either. It's an embarrassment that people (I know in many other Asian countries) seem to prefer the Caucasians to those of the same colour. Then we start yakking about how the West seems to be "conquering" us. Bullshit.

Stupid people.
