So, yesterday i went to my little cousins early 5th birthday party, and god it was boring, until~ this guy comes in, and im like dayum, and i realise this guy! i know this guy! and my assumptions were correct! We used to go to eachothers houses, and have a TONNE of fun together. When i went to his house, we used to sneak into his parents room and jump on their bed, mann, it was fun. He had a cute little dog too, which is STILL alive now? Shocking.
I used to have a little crush on him when we were little.. *blushes. I never told him that though.. and the last time we ever saw eachother was probably at the latest, 7 or 8 years old .. now we is 14, and he is hot. very hot. haha, maybe cute .. he looks like kim hyun joong, minus the dyed hair! >< And very rich.. i hit the jackpot right? LOL. I never see him now anymore though, that makes me sad ):

So, we just sit on the couch in the living room, in an awkward silence .. looking at eachother .. then looking away, i could feel the tension. You know the kind of tension you feel when you havent seen someone in agesssss, and you used to be great friends, and when you see them again, you have so much to say, but dont know how to open the conversation? Yeah well, poor me. So i text Laurence .. i know, laurence right? seriously .. Jokes! Then, i stop texting .. cos he seemed awkward. No-one wanted to break the ice first! We just sat there. UNTIL! my aunty comes up to us, and asks if we remember eachother, la di da.. that lightened it up .. kinda. Then we talked a bit, bout school and shit.
My aunty was eavesdropping, and here's how the awkward conversation that followed played out .. well sorta anyway.
Aunty: Sooo, do you have a girlfriend? (to my friend .. )
Friend: No.
Aunty: Whaaaat? But your so handsome, are you sure you dont have a girlfriend?
Friend: (obviously a bit embarassed at this stage, replies) No.
Aunty shoots me a cheeky look as if she were saying "here's your chance!" and i just .. go back to the weird game we were playing ... which was "Kaleidoscope" for those who care.
So we play cards, Ds, laptop, PS3, you know, the usual . and us being the two eldest, we decided to gang up on the little kids and tickle the hell outta them. It was so fun!!

He's different from other guys. He's nice. Not to a particular person, but to everyone. Even when kids are pissing the hell outta him, he just picks them up and runs around with them. He's so .. yeah. So, when it was time to go .. i didnt remember to get his number, nor email, and now, im not gonna see him until my cousin's birthday in April. that's if he comes. Oh well! :)

By the way, he's my cousin's, mum's, 2nd cousin.. (but we are not related blooodwise in anyway .. so that's all right, right? LOL)

Ok, so the "Nguyen's" have a Christmas party every year, as im sure so does every other big family, and we are a ridiculously ginormous group. Well, to me anyways.. my grandparents had 5 boys and 6 girls, all but 2 are married, with kids. Lots of kids ... anyway, that's beside my point.
So, it's like a lifelong tradition that EVERYONE must go, and well, we broke it this year, because i have this massive flu, and other reasons. Quite unfortunate, miss out on weird and awkward conversations with old people, miss out on catching up with the older cousins who have cool jobs and cool lives, miss out on christmas cake, miss the extensive amount of asian plates filled with asian food, and the bbq, oh and dare i say, i miss out on .. VIET KAROAKE!! I HATE SICKNESS!

Soooo, my 18/19 year old, tafe attending cousin shoots me a text saying god knows what, and he called me a SNOTBALL! a SNOTBALL! seriously, SNOTBALL? SNOTBALL? Maybe im just being melodramatic due to the amount of time i've spent inside, but SNOTBALL? That's so mean. and he's 18/19, seriously Albert, seriously???! Well, it is better than his brother, who doesnt talk to ANYONE and literally sits there saying and doing nothing. Like a dead fish. Why is he like this? cos his life is World of Warcraft. It's his life. HIS LIFE. He has a waterbottle at his computer, because he doesnt do anything but play that stupid game. HE'S IN YEAR 12, WDFFFF! And when he's away from it, it's like he's not even alive. If he ever read this, i think he would punch me. maybe even bash me.

so the moral of the day is, dont get sick around the festive season, and be careful what you say to your older scary cousins ... specifically male ...
*runnnnns

No, dont. Really. Dont. Please dont.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! :)

I realised today that i take everything in my life for granted, cliche i know, but its the truth. Today in art, a talk of "human trafficking" arose. The fact that young girls are sold, as a result of their family's financial state.. sometimes, the families are lead to believe that their daughter is being sold into "work", little do they know what kind of "work" their precious little girl is doing. But then again, she cant be too precious, if she is being sold .. but then again, they mightn't have a choice. Does anyone ever really have a choice?



It sickens me, and probably everyone, except for the people out there, actually doing these things. Kidnapping, raping, you know the drill, it's bloody ridiculous and it does NOT have to happen. Nothing even HAS to happen, people just WANT it to. America never HAD to go over to Afghanistan, they WANTED to. America never HAD to start the Vietnam War for no reason, they WANTED to. The Twin Towers never HAD to come down, Osama whats his face WANTED them to. I can go on and on, girls don't HAVE to be kidnapped. They don't HAVE to get raped on a daily basis. The stupid and evil people who are responsible WANT to inflict this pain upon them. It makes me wonder, don't they have lives to lead? Don't they have anything better to do but make other peoples lives a living hell? Sadists, enjoying the pain inflicted upon others, seriously, that's fucking sick.

That Austrian "father" (it's in quotations, because technically he is a father, but really, after what he has done, can you really call him a father?) .. Fritzel was his name? Locked his own daughter in the basement, and had children with her, HAVING CHILDREN WITH YOUR OWN CHILD, that is wrong in every freaking way.

Madeleine McCann, if she is alive, IF, she cant possibly be being treated right. She cant be happy .. if she is alive, and one day, ONE DAY, she is found, the sickest story is bound to arise, and i hope, that day wont come, as much as i feel for her disappearance, and the agony her parents must feel each day, i don't want to know what is happening/ what has happened to that innocent, poor little girl, i really don't. I know it will just churn my insides and make me feel sick.

So, we were talking about poverty stricken countries, and the killing of dogs came up. Man, that seems so sad, that dogs are killed in Vietnam, Korea, and God knows where else, for food. I guess it may seem sick, because we've grown up in a western environment, where they see dogs as domestic pets, but really, is killing and eating a dog any different from killing a chicken, cow or pig? Not really. Then, whale killing came to mind, and i remembered when i watched a video where a Japanese ship harpooned a whale, and all you see is this massive amount of blood, literally "GUSHING" out of the dead whale, the amount of ocean surrounding this creature has been dyed blood red, no kidding, it made me sick to my stomach, and i really hate to think about it. Now, killing a whale is different, because whales take a long time to become the size that they are, then it takes them a long time to breed, and give birth. They are not bred in farms, like chickens, therefore there aren't really that many, and FFS, they are freaking ENDANGERED. Don't get me wrong, i love the Japanese, they gave me sushi, HYD, and oguri shun, but SNAP OUT OF IT.

I can go on for longer, but i wont. Quote Miss Keaton, "Cant we all just be friends .. ? :)"
If only it were that simple Miss. So dont take your life for granted, love it. Because even though it is hard to believe, somewhere around the world, people like you are being kidnapped, assaulted, harrassed, and God knows what else, be grateful for what you have, and dont get greedy - another moral of the day :)

Labels: sad

dont you love this scene?!

something i find relevant, yet completely irrelevant at the same time..

lunch

a bus with a mo! how awesome ;D

the rest of the photos, i cant be bothered, 'cos it takes foreverrrrrrrr. let's say the day was awesome. except for when i was CHOKING on a mentos and just just just grasping onto life, and Sabrina was just sitting there, ds-ing? seriously! hmpf. and the fact that i came last in every round of Mario Kart. Andddd, the stupid security guard at the galary, i swear, if i had mafia, you'd be dead right now. ummmmm. yeah. i cant remember much, ohhhh! Me and Sabrina played "Guess the Skittles flavour" and we stopped after 2 goes, or something, and i had a whole lot in my hand, cos i thought we would be playing for a while. and like, the skittles made a rainbow print all over the palm of my hand, and stamped it onto hers. which freaked her out. and monsters inc was playing and tony wouldnt shut up. ==' anyway. yeah.
