life is a long journey much better travelled wiht a companion by our side. but sometimes we lose our companions along the way. and then our journeys become unbearable.


so the exams are over.. it doesnt even feel any different which just goes to show how little i studied. we graduated yesterday after our physics exam. our first graduation since kindergarten since jo and i missed the mg one. there was an after party at this place called the vattican which is an old church that was converted into a club which i find a little strange. i wasnt gonna go at first but i didnt feel like going home and wallowing in my end of year depression so i went and i'm really glad i did cos umang and nhi were there! so even though the first part had a little horrible bit i still got to spend time with them and it was really nice. we're going out together tomorrow but i'm not really looking forward to it cos i'm going to have to say another goodbye- umang is leaving for auckland on tuesday and i'm going to miss him so much. :( definitely one of the best friends i've made here he's like my de-stressor and he's so sweet you know guys. ahh what will i do without his umanga nonsense and phone calls to check up on me and how safe i feel around him. no i wont be negative i wont be negative! if i can wait six months to see you guys i can wait six months till i next see him. yes i can!

the adverts here are so amazingly creative. and some are so nice. there's one that goes like this:
at 1 success is having one step follow another.
at 10 success is having friends.
at 16 success is having a drivers license.
at 20 success is having sex.
at 35 success is having money.
at 50 success is having money.
at 60 success is having sex.
at 70 success is having a drivers license.
at 75 success is having friends.
and at 80, success is having one step follow another.
what is success? success is a life lived to the full.
so lets start now.
it looks better with the pictures and music but it still sounds preedy good to me here.

i got out of bed at three today! i'd better catch up on my sleep soon cos my disorientation is still apparent in that i spent about ten minutes trying to send an email to jojoGlamingo. and then after jo gave up and told me to mail her other account i proceeded to diligently type strongo.jo@gmail.com.
we're leaving for sydney on monday and i'm slowly trying to psych myself up to carol's level of shopping stamina. hahah i share my dad's disregard of this activity. but i will do you proud careroll!!
hahaha jo's mum has me on probation. cos and i was a little woozy after dinner once during the exams and aunty dot told me to go rest. and i tried to protest that i would help dry the dishes first. hahaha i was like "no no dont worry i'm fine". and, naturally, my body chose that exact moment for a blackout. and she looked at me with an almost bored who are you trying to kid face and said 'i just saw your eyes unfocus.' hahah she almost got up but i was already running for the door.
then the other evening after dinner she wanted everyone to eat one orange each. and i was so full from dinner so i tried asking whether i could have it later on. and whenever i'm asking one of them for something against what they just said or a favour or anything ESPECIALLY when i have to ask aunty dot i get all stuttery hahaha so i was jerking out "aunty um er i can i have it i'll eat it er later i eat..." and carol was laughing and said chess you need to assert yourself dont ask you SAY! and hahaha i dont know what happened i put my hands on my hips and stood like wonderwoman and half yelled AUNTY I WILL EAT IT LATER. hahaha the whole kitchen exploded it was so funny.

i had this hilarious conversation with fang awhile back.
