Life and times.

Aside from a massive 15 cm in diameter bruise on my knee
and not being able to sneeze lest I strain my aching muscles any further,
I am well :D
Just started Year 13 two days ago, and its going so far so good.
But then again. it is only day two....
Procrastination only starts to kick in after the exciting shit
is over and done with.

Speaking of exciting shit,
our group is yet again going to Polyfest this year.
Hip Hoorah :)
And I have Miss Druitt's mobile number on my phone.
How.... odd. But she's fantastic and at least now I dont have
to go on a massive manhunt around the school for her anymore :)
And also, now I FINALLY am at that stage where I can have
a decent conversation with Racheal.
Always knew her as 'That girl who lives on my road and is my
good friend's friend but I have no guts to talk to her even though
she looks awesometastically cool and says Hi to me sometimes."
And cool she is.
I mean, DAYUM. This year was her 3rd at Parachute.
ugh jealous.

School. school. school.
My head is too consumed with these thoughts to blog
about anything else.
Dull I know, and Im sorry. haha
But my school is truly a wonderful place.
Especially if you have Mr Lloyd as your Calculus teacher,
and he still remembers you from Year10 because you still sit
in the same seat, but have changed your glasses, which he has also
noticed and pointed out.

And I would continue about our free periods and sheeeet
in which we are allowed to waste our valuable time
sipping tea out of porcelain mugs in a quaint little cafe along
Nuffield Street in..... ..
But my back is aching from doing 60 weight-thingama-blobbins
on the Swiss Ball, and from sitting here for too long.
So until next time. :)

And stay fit, people!

2010.

Hey so I think im getting the blogging bug again,
and I do so apologise for taking such a long break
from my blog, but it was time that I realised that I should just
like my life as it is, and not behind a 17 inch computer screen,
dwelling on the past.

It also gave me some well needed time to find myself,
and question whether I've/I am going down the right path
at this time of my life.
I've realised that I've been extremely reclusive these last few months,
and for those that know me, I've been extremely grumpy and distant.
Inside, all I felt was lost.
Again, I apologise.

Last year was one of the stages in my life in which I just thought
"Stop. Take a second and think. What the hell are you doing to yourself?"
I didnt like who I was becoming, I didnt like who I had become.
Being so critical of the change I knew I was undergoing also gave
me allowance to rethink some of the destructive relationships in that stage
of my life, and finally say "To hell with it, I can't always try to make
everyone else happy at my own expense."

Through this process, I may have lost a few friends, but this is exactly
what I needed to turn my life around.
And also on this journey, I think I've finally found the people
who really appreciate me for who I am, the people who truly care for me.
If you know me well, I'm one who bottles up my emotions, cause this is
what I've been taught to do my whole life:
Lock everyone out, and you will never be hurt.
But now I realise, that there are those out there that I can count on
for whatever, and you guys did help me pull through those dark periods.
You all know who you are, and for you I am extremely thankful.
Its nearly like I've found my purpose in life, and its all thanks to you.

2010 will hopefully be a year of fresh starts and better judgements.
2010 will also hopefully make me a better person.
Wish me luck. :)

Kaya Scodelario.

Hello Kaya.
You're extremely beautiful.
And British.
Whats new?

I once had a friend called Kaya.
But she was a redhead.
And not British.
Hence not as cool as you.

Hey guys, sorry for the hiatus.
I've been real busy/in a jumble of emotions lately.
Will be back soon, I promise.

A French travel tip : SHUT UP AND QUEUE UP OKAY?

Hello hello everbody :)
Thanks for staying tune for my whole
travel-blog concept-thing.. Haha..
I'm actually not very good at this..
But thanks for your support, guys. ;)

So, i've just returned from our three day stint in Paris :)
Lets say it was average, and not extremely omgroflwthstfulmao-mind blowing
as what I expected. (That's what you get when you have high expectations huh?)
Me, dad, Ryan and mum took the train to Paris on a Friday night with
3 of my dad's colleagues.

The next day, we journeyed down to Paris Disneyland..
And umm.. I know this will sound mean..
and contradict what i said in my last post..
but.. it was so.. UNENJOYABLE.
Gawd. Honestly couldn't wait to get out of there.
It was raining continuously for pretty much the whole morning,
dampening our moods for the day.
Spent most of the day in utter disagreement over EVERYTHING.
"NO DAD! I DONT WANT TO QUEUE UP FOR A PHOTO!'
WE DO THIS EVERYTIME WE'RE HERE!!!
WE WANT TO GO ON RIDESSSS!!! GRRR &@$#!"
yeah. That's pretty much how it went down. haha
Eventually, we parted company.. making everyone a LITTLE happier.
me and Ryan went around searching for rides etc. But all the queues were
over 2 hours long :/ sigh.

So we went to get a fastpass for Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster,
(looool. we play this game at EVERY disneyland! haha. its THE MAN.)
but we were only scheduled for 4.30.
Sigh. 3.5 hours to kill. What to do?
Upon my suggestion, we queued up for the Haunted House ride.
The line was like WOW THE WHOLE OF FRANCE TURNED UP FOR THIS RIDE!
lol. Im not even kidding.
Thank GOD the line moved extremely quickly, got into the house in under
30 minutes. Twas pretty cool. Except the overcrowding caused the ride to have to be
stopped several times :(
Then we went to get food, couldnt be F*cked with anything else.
Thing is, the little cafes we walked past were all shut down due to the
shitty weather. :(
So we walked ALL THE WAY to Adventureland,
finally found some decent place to have food..
but the queue was like OMG ALL THE PEOPLE FROM THE HAUNTED HOUSE DECIDED TO HAVE LUNCH HERE TOO?
Had to queue for like 45 mins till we got our food.
Sigh. at this point, me and ryry were just so miserable.
Seriously, FML.

yeah.
and that was just half of the day.
I wont elaborate. It's making me miserable by just looking back on it.
haha.
Basically for the rest of the day, this is what happened.
- Encountered the RUDEST people ever in our lives.
- had to queue up just to buy a TSHIRT.
- got chased away from the spot we saved for the parade.
- FCUKING LOST THE FCUKING FASTPASSES!

loooooool. I know right? hahahaha.
I think we've just grown out of Disneyland.
Sigh.
I used to think this place was heaven, its like I could just
reminisce on my childhood, make my childhood dreams come true
cause I couldn't then and can now.
But, hey. People change huh?
:( still rather devastated at how quickly I've outgrown this place.

We went to the Universal Studios though.
And that place was bloody awesome. haha
It was themed like Old Hollywood.
LOVELOVE!
So should have toured down there first. haha.



p.s. pictures soon..
Im currently using the hotel's computer. ;)
stay tune for part deux. haha
Yeah i didnt expect my Disneyland-rant to be so long. :P

Amsterdam part deux

Hello again peoples, so I've safely arrived in Amsterdam,
taken the train and lived with my daddy in his hotel
in The Hague.
Yes hague. Like Plague wihtout the pl. haha.
Ahhh. Lovely hotel that one,
theyve got a massive clear bowl of Pepernoten
on the recption's desk.
For all of you who dont know what this is, it's a rounded
cookie baked from flour and tastes like cinnamon/nutmeg.
Pepernoten are usually associated with Christmas, or
the Dutch version of this festive holiday.. with Saint Nikolas
as santa and the naughty black pete's as Santa's helpers.

man, this was such a massive part of my childhood in PDO.
Aileen, do you remember our stockings being filled to the brim
with pepernoten and those weird maeshmallow-ey sweets?
Haha. Life was gooood.

And in a bit, we shall be taking the train to Paris :)
We'll be there for the 3days.. i think.
have i mentioned we'll be going to DISNEYLAND?
Haha. I may be old as, but disneyland still is my absolute
favourite place. ever. ever ever.
But yes, stay safe guys!
Have an awesome holiday xox.

I shall be off to Amsterdam in a few hours!
Here in the hotel with the lovely HuiYen,
stealing the hotels internet :P
Whats new? haha.
So yeah. Just here to apologies for the possible (and probable)
hiatus that will be going on with the blog in the next three weeks.
Haha. Im going to immerse myself in the outdoors!
Just me and my Canon.

Goodbye for nooooow!
Have a great holiday, guys :)
