Housemates

I came back with a new housemate, Raymond.

Well, I kinda agreed to come back to Perth earlier to help him. Truth be told, he is one lucky guy.

I not only came back to help him settle down, I also drive him to school at 8 am in the morning then come home to sleep. I also cook for him and help him with other stuffs such as getting a comforter, a heater, student concession and... planning his timetable.

I've always wanted a younger brother.. so.. lucky him!

Raymond's existence in Perth had a little positive impact on me. We get along. I finally met someone whom I feel I can communicate with and trust. A friend. A potential good friend maybe? Each time when we are bored, I would bugg him to play games with me, etc. In fact, we've done so much stupid things.. like creating our very own monopoly? I bought a monopoly from mac donalds for a dollar and we started to write names of places in perth that we think is equivalent to the value on monopoly. He taught me poker and stuffs. It was so much fun to have someone to entertain me. Well, we had to entertain one another because there was only two of us until my other housemates came back.

I can see Joe, my other housemate, likes him too. Recently, they are into this fishing thingy.. Boys will be boys and I guess Joe is happy that its a male housemate than a female one.

I also starting watching a lot of movies, because Raymond has quite a number of them. So when I am bored, I'd just get some from him..

I feel that I lack self discipline. At home, we either spent time cooking, playing mahjong or monopoly. We've got a new set of monopoly, we bought it at a toy sale. Sometimes Raymond and I play cards, Dai Dee, Poker, Black Jack, whatever. Plus the movies that I've just mentioned. I havent been studying much. I really need to start to put in more effort in my studies. Another reason is also because I have one module less, so I kinda have more time. I have so much time in the day, when everyone is having their lessons. So I've been applying for jobs but not much replies. Good Luck to me!

Trip Back Home..

Dear All,

First, I'd like to apologize. I havent been blogging because the internet takes ages to set up.

Oh well, I've not forgotten that I am in Australia.

A summary of my trip back home.

It was terrible. I just felt my parents' lives could have been better. I could have contributed or done a lot more for them. In fact, there was so much emphasis on things at home, that I often got tired as well. I do what I can and I always do my very best. But apparently, my dad seems a little disappointed in me. It's tiring to live up to people's expectations, even at this age. I wished I had spent more time with Amelia. I've got plenty of time, but she's so busy with her work, that I didnt even get to go shopping with her, not even once.

I feel.. I have given my mum quite a lot of emotional support this time round, though I would prefer to be there for my dad. It's harder for him than mum?

I had a fathers' day dinner with my grandfather. After that, he fell sick. His condition was on/off all the time. Unfortunately, he passed away on the day I went back to Perth. I felt really bad for not going home to attend the funeral. I believe I should at least pay respects or go through all the ceremony, even though we are not close. My grandfather doesnt even know who I am. But this particular dinner, he asked my mum who I am. They were happy to tell him I am Bobo. I have no idea why older generation seems to remember Bobo. I guess that gave him a little impression of me, or least, he knew I existed. Then he asked what I am doing. That broke my heart when he passed away. My other grandfather asked the same question before he left. I told my grandfather I am studying and I would graduate next year (2008). He didnt live to watch me graduate. But he's such a strong motivation to my studies. He passed away during my test week. I still miss him lots. I am a lot closer to my mum's side than dad's. Anyway, we gotta move on. I called back a couple of times.. My heart sank, all the way to the bottom each time I hear my dad's voice. I was very much crying in me. I cannot stand seeing, hearing, feeling how my loved ones are feeling. Worse of all, I am not even there for my dad, which I would really really want to. Let's hope things get better at home.

I really enjoyed watching tv with Amelia and Marvin. It just a feeling of belonging back home?

I didnt get to see a lot of people whom I want to. Everyone's busy. Next time maybe?

Semester 1 Results

I am still in a state of shock.

Primary School Best Friend

Introducing my primary school best friend.. Jasmine Ang. She is not only my primary school best friend, she is one of the few girlfriends that i have. Oops?

When I was looking at the pictures taken from her iphone, I thought it looked good because it looks like 'us'. You know how some pictures dont look like you, but I feel these pictures look like me. When she uploaded and sent it to me, I got very upset after opening the files. Look carefully, look at the expression in my eyes. It was a reflection of my sadness. I can't believe I have to personally spot this. Sigh.

Meeting Up with My Friends

A summary of my recent activities in Singapore..

Met up with Jasmine

Attended Xiaoqi's Birthday Party!

Everyone says I look chubbier than before. SEE? @_@

Tons of retarded pics as usual

Good to see the girls :)

I dont usually enjoy Secondary school gatherings because most of us take very different paths, like the extremes one. Maybe they didnt quite see a need to study so much, if they can still earn quite a bit without very high qualifications, etc. I mean if my friend is planning to have babies, we are at very different stages in our lives. Our perceptions are very very different and sometimes it is frustrating to get them to support my decisions. I have to admit that oxens are very stubborn people, so there's always a lot of clashes. But of course, everyone means well despite the strong arguments and disagreements. So this is one of the more enjoyable gatherings. I was slightly disappointed because Eileen didnt turn up and a few others as well. Eileen has an open mind, she has always been very different in her way of living and her styles. She doesnt follow the norm, like it's alright to drop what I am studying to do something different. I am passionate about a lot of things, but sometimes we hold back. We gotta be realistic, right? That's why I am a little disappointed that she couldnt make it, cause it would be interesting to hear what she have to say..

11 years of friendship. Time flies.

Lil' Bell

so cutee.. don't think I am even 1 year old with that pacifier.. tuutututututu

No idea where this is taken, there's a waterfall at the back?

No 2.

Kids will behave like kids.

I use to drink with a spoon. Maybe the cup was too heavy, or maybe I just like to drink with the spoon. hehe.

Kindergarten Bell

I can explain why I enjoy partying. It probably started when I was in Kindergarten where the teacher would select me for dance performances. I get it all the time, but I have no idea why? I wonder what the other kids were doing when we had to practice dancing..

I remember this dance, because I like the fluffy fans. lol.

Not so sure what this dance is all about?

This is hilarious. We had to pretend to pluck flowers or berries or something.

The outfit explains all, isnt it? Bleah.

Yup, was from Fairfield.

Graduation!

Hoorayyy!

Sometimes I wonder, what is graduation all about? It's definitely more than getting a piece of paper. A lot of people place so much importance, but seriously what does graduation means to you? I am going to miss mine in September this year because I'd be in Perth. I'd get someone to collect my certificate.

Kindergarten days. I was a troublesome kid, I love to sleep and my parents had to wake me up again and again. Hmm.. Actually, I still laze around every morning and refuse to wake up.. at this age. hehe. Mummy would shower for me, then she would tie my hair and I get to choose what earrings and shoes I want to wear to school. I am late for school every day? Because of my parents work timings, it was a little too rush and too troublesome to make it on time for school. Anyway, they sing all the christian songs in the morning, so it was alright for me to skip.

After school, my uncle or aunty will fetch us to our granny's place. Then one of my aunties will shower for us, one will bring us to get food, one will teach us how to read and write, etc etc. I have a lot of aunties, so they sort of have like different roles. We were the first few grandchildren, my mum's side.. so quite a lot of privilleges. The rest of the day, we'd just play all the old school games which I love..

My grandparents sell vegetables, so there's always the vegetable worms. We would catch them to feed the rooster. Old school right? Now, I will not catch any sort of worms. It's disgusting. We do tons of silly stuffs when we're young, don't we? I love hide-and-seek. Somehow I'd win. hehe. I like the hiding part, and the boo-ing part. You just have to react faster when the person catches you and you win! We play in those old houses in Chinatown, the really old ones during world war II, so we would run around the area and there's so many places to hide. >.<
