3 men December 06, 2005 jo and carol left for singapore tonight. i'm spending another night here at their grand aunty grace's apartment before flying off to perth to meet my dad and lara and zarya. oh how the squeals of excitement fill the air :D :D and i get to see all of you so soon! i am in shock as to how brisk time is being. hahah i know, something new and interesting that i've never said before! it has been almost two years since we started out in sec four. all nervous about THE O LEVELS and still in our little mg cocoons. and now? our juniors have finished their o's, i've spent almost a year in new zealand and jo and i will be entering uni next year. WHAT THE?!??! plus! za is starting at mg next year! yes charm i second your HUH of disbelief. she's six?! today i was telling jo's aunt how old my younger sisters were and i said ten and six. and then i was like wait that cant be right i have a baby sister she's only three and i actually doubled back in my head before i realised that that baby sister really is six now! the past 9 days have seemed pretty long though not in a bad way. i feel quite far away from everything that happened in nz now. and before jo and carol left tonight we all realised that it marked the real and final end of this year as we've known it. i'm scared of next year. but when is that ever gonna change right. stuff it man! i think way too much. we've done alot in this stay in sydney.. we saw a show at the opera house, watched harry potter at Fox Studios, went on a ferry, went waxing hahahhaha got tattoos and charicatures done, shopped and shopped AND SHOPPED, went to the museum, and today we got a private tour round government house by jo's aunt! we got to see the rooms upstairs where the queen and the governor's families stayed and grew up and it's amazing there! carol it's quite like eusmere house where i used to stay in england. carol and jo, thanks for this vairy girly week, it was a really great experience. we will meet up soon and have loads of yum cha and movies at lido!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!!!!! i absolutely cannot believe that you are 17. have a wonderful day sweets!! i am so excited i am so excited i am so SO SO excited ooooeerrrrrr miaomix galore i am less than a day away from seeing (3/8 of) my family after monthssss. it's so weird looking back now on how young i was before i left singapore. everything seems smaller? like.. i used to go on holiday and think oh my goodness i'm gonna miss my friends how am i gonna make two weeks in another country. and now it's like i've just spent the better part of 10 months on the other side of the world from my sisters, and halfway across the world from everyone else. that's a really minor example of experience but still it has shown me.. it's pretty extraordinary how much further you can go, how much more you can push yourself than you think you can when you are faced with a situation where there is no other alternative. when there is nothing else you can do but adapt and be strong. you know what i mean guys? as bad as things seem at times.. we do have whatever tools we need to get through. we know we're gonna make it. we know that we've been through worse. and if we haven't, then once we get through this tough time, we will have! try not to flop and be depressed or think that life sucks just because something hasnt gone your way. because life is going to challenge us. and we can sit around and hate it and wait for someone to come along and fix that little irritation or that broken heart, but in the end we have to know that we can pull through and stand up on our own. cos sometimes, you have to rescue yourself. Wait 'till the sun gets here and you will wait too long, he will be gone. Wait, wait 'till the sun shines through Wait 'till the sky is blue and you will wait too long, he will be gone. He will be gone. Wait, wait 'till the signs are right Wait 'till the perfect time and you will wait too long, he will be gone. He will be gone. Wait, wait 'till you doubt no more Wait 'till you know you're sure and you will wait too long, he will be gone. |
