Starlight, Star Bright, First Star I See Tonight...
Went to a Starlight function today. The theme was dress up as a big kid. So i just put on an outfit and told people i was a doll. well it seemed to work. There were the incredibles, alot of princesses and school kids, mr squiggle, shrek, santa on his day off, beat up kids, and little bo peep. It was rather amusing. They gave out certificates to the volunteers. I'm sure mine was there somewhere, but they couldn't be bothered finding it, so i'll just assume that they will send it to me. There was a DJ and a live band "jet lag". Played pass the parcel, i won a lollie pop, a pen, a stress ball and a mug. Go ME!! hahahahahha.
DOOM
Went to see Doom. It was kinda scary, the movie itself wasn't that scary, but they did the whole silence and then something jumps out of the screen. all that suspence!!!!! i wanted to turn the lights on, but then realised that I was in a cinema, and couldn't. I need stress balls watching scary movies. its much better to watch it at home, on a small screen with the lights on, and no surround sound.
$100 000 Wedding!
I had to wake up at 5am in the morning to get ready!!!!! Ahhhhhh so sleepy!
Went through my first car wash! It wasn’t really that exciting, you go in stop and the thing washes your car.
Went to the brides house, near Grace’s old house, but it was BIGGER than graces house!
Had the traditional Vietnamese tea wedding, with the Vietnamese long dresses and the bride cried, and the mom cried, and all the girls in room were crying…. Ohhhh
Then went to the church for a churchy wedding, but it was all in viet, and I couldn’t understand it, all I remember is something about Benedict the XVI.
Then the bridal party went to the grooms house to do another tea ceremony at the grooms house. BUT we were hungry so we ditched that and went to eat dim sum.
Went home, for a touch up
Went to the dinner reception. It was really nicely decorated, beautiful cake. Again all in Vietnamese, so I didn’t understand much. All old people, which was slightly disappointing. I think these types of things should really only be attended with a partner huh? *sigh*
Met and re - met some people who were interesting.
An Old acquaintance who I’ve known since I was a little girl. Quite cute, unfortunately he told me my sister was hot *sigh* and his mom is a cow.
Ann from choir, who I didn’t really know but saw around a lot.
Jenny a girl who I just met, very nice girl, quite easy to get along with.
Chi Anh Thu and her husband (didn’t get his name) but they were nice, but the husband did give my self esteem a good boost, “I can’t believe you don’t have a bf yet, you’re so fun to be around!” and “I think you’ll be married within 5 years” and “guys are stupid”.
Francis – only had a 5 min chat at the end with him and he introduced me to his gf, who was very pretty.
We left at 11:40 and the bride was still hyperactive. My sister took the flowers on the table for my mom. Apparently the bride had shipped the flowers from Singapore ( what a waste of money). Pretty fun…
Excessive Happiness
Up and Down and Up and Down and UP and DOWN! I should really get a grip!!!!! toeing the line of insanity. Getting sick of being sad, so past few days have been excessivly happy.
I'm sick of Hi 5 "welcome to the heart club, one and all, we got lots of hugs, big and small, and if you need a hug, i'll give it to you, coz no one needs a hug, more than i do!"
I'm sick of lieing "Wow your drawing is so pretty"
Such annoying children. took them to the park today, i don't know if they've ever been on a swing before, but they loved it! and my youngest neice calls me Aunty J. i suppose thats good enough. i would be prefered to called di ut (pronounced y-e oo-p). But she follows her older sis, who calls me Aunty J just to annoy me. and she cries when i go to the bathroom without telling her... whats with that?
my dad ghosted the computer! and i've lost limewire!!!!!! ahhhhh have to go and download it again or something........so troublesome...
Reciprocity
rec·i·proc·i·ty (rs-prs-t)n. pl. rec·i·proc·i·ties
A reciprocal condition or relationship.
See the new word i learnt today. Been thinking about this all week and had alot of disscussions with people all week. Still can't really reach a conclusion. I think perhaps its better to just let these things mellow out on thier own.
Alot of people were depressed today and the atmosphere was so thick u could cut right through it. *sigh*
My neices are still here and its 11:16pm and i can still here thier mom yell at them because they don't want to sleep yet. I blame grandma who let them nap for 2-4 hours today. That is just way to long for a nap! and then they just don't want to sleep later!
I have exams in two and a half weeks... i really should start studying for them some time soon....

Also my sister and her daughters came to Perth. My sister has stolen my car. And my younger neice doesn't like me much. She hates "strangers", she was actually depressed. It was very interesting, the 2 year old was depressed!!!!! I'm actually sick of playing with them already, it's just one game after the next! I tried to teach the 4 year old how to play scrabble, she sought of got the idea of the game, but couldn't really spell any words excetp "up" and could sound out words i made
Spring Cleaning
Spent the hole day cleaning the house in prepartion for my little neices to come to Perth tommorow. So now the house is reasonably clean, everything below 1m at least i hope they arn't taller than that and they can't climb.
Went to choir rehersal, we did a run through of all the songs and it was very very good. We actually sound decent! promise! You should all come to the concert tommorow!!!!!!!!!!!!
And since it was friday night, i really didn't want to go home straight away. So i rang up a whole group of people to beg them to come out. unfortunatly most of them didn't want to go out, or just didn't answer thier fone, so antisocial....... Ended up going to oriels and eating chocoalte cake... yummy.......
Should I Cut My Losses?
I'm quite distressed, I've finally discovered that i "invest" too much of my time in people, when there is no reciprication. People who i consider my "friends" but now that i really think about it, are they? Do they really consider me as important as I consider them? People who i like, but probably don't like me. Isn't this the equivollant on giving up in life? what else is there if not at least your friends? Am i wasting my energy? Have i been dulluded all this time? Should i cut my losses? Does anyone care?
So then what am i to do? Just ignore these people altogether? Isn't that rude? I don't want to be rude, I just never want to talk to them ever again...
Sing, Sing a Song!
PLUG: Come to my concert!!!!!!! its on this saturday 7:30pm Perth Modern SHS! $15 a ticket...

Annoying Sister
Currently sitting in a Trust Class, i love having wirless!
Printed some Photos today, and there is a lovley photo with my sister in singapore, but at the same time i hate it! My sister is 30 and she doesn't look it! She looks my age! So, this means that i can never grow old right. i have to stay 20 for the rest of my life! so depressing hay, i can't even grow old normally. And then Gen said "oh your sister is so pretty, you can't be realted to her!". Obviously i'm not pretty enough to be related to her! So offended...
Also had Jim MacDonald again today, and he called australia a benign dictatorship again. some people never learn their lesson...
Tears, Tears.
Ohhh dear, I made my tutoring kid cry today. She always cries! Actually its a goal of mine, "What can I do today to make her cry?" anyway. It took awhile to make her cry, but i got there on the end. I'm truly evil....
Spring Feast
Lots of asians gathered in one spot. quite a scary sight. lots of food. lots of music. lots of fun. good atmosphere. At the end of it all everyone was so desperate to get rid of all thier food. and then Dan came along... ooooooohhhh he's so asian! hahahaha he bargined with everyone and bought all thier food. $25 for about 15 Bao, 2 Sieu mai, 4 sticky rice things, 8 miscelanious pastries, 2 sweet desserts. hahahah and then after he bought all that the ppl who were running the stall, sold about 8 pastries that Dan had already purchased for $4 to other customers. NEMO DAT!!! Latin for "you can't give what you don't own". So Dan demanded compensation, ie the $4 which he got. so really it cost him $21 for all that food. hahahha how amusing.
Fotos from the last few weeks ....
I feel like crap
I woke up with such confidence this morning... in 20 min all gone, dissapated into nothingness.. i feel like crap... :(
Benign Dictators
So then, today I had a lecture by Jim MacDonald and he spent the first 15 min appologising to the class. He had given a lecture before and he Dissed Australia because we don't have a bill of rights and he said that the Australian parliament was a benign dictatorship, and the only reason we had a decent system was because the politicians were nice and didn't want to be like that. So some random person with too much free time sent in an email complaining and said that he was belittling out values and beliefs and our system and that he acted as if he came from a more supieror place (USA). So he appologised and said it might be because he said that the education system was different and in the US they were expected to do thier reading before class and participate in a class discussion. BUT THAT WASN"T IT. he said his critisism should be considreed more of a differences thing, not a hirachy thing. BUT HE CALLED THE AUSTRLIAN GOVERNMETN A DICTATORSHIP! how is that not a hirachey thing!!!!!!!! He just didn't get it...
Eating Cheese
