It's the year...

3112O8 - Cindy T.'s & Annie T.'s 17th Birthday.

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!

It's the year that we'll be finishing high school.
It's the year that we'll be doing our HSC.
It's the year of our formal.
It's the year before we finally move on to another chapter in our lives.
It's the year when we decide what path is right for us. It may be easy, it may be hard. Either way, what we choose is what we'll have to stick with the rest of our lives.

Now, I can just stay here for 1 1/2 hours typing about what if, could, might, maybe happen, but I won't. Now it's not the time anyways. I have 3/4 of a year left to think of something to write about before it truly ends for all of us. Oops. Excuse me, let me rephrase that: before it truly begins for all of us. All in all, I welcome you 2OO9. Enjoy last couple hours of 'O8 people, because it's going to end very, very soon! Be safe. Be careful. Be youthful. And, be smart =). It's really not the time to destroy yourself when you've got a whole life in front of you. Yeah, okay, so one year passed, but don't be sorrowful because one year's gone, be happy that a new year's about to begin! The bottom line is, be HAPPY!

17 for Cindy

Boy, wasn't it fun today?! Of course, I was pretty early, compared to everyone else, since I didn't read the time I was suppose to arrive. Anyways, thank God Cindy liked my present =D I was so scared she wouldn't like it. Jessica, Eric and Lawrence arrived later on and we played around with Pie. He couldn't help humping practically everyone that didn't live in the house! It was mostly the males he humped, which was odd since he is a male. De-sexed, but still a male =)! Gradually, the guests arrived and we began eating, singing, playing buzz, talking and etc. Mimi asked me to name everyone at the party. I only managed to name majority of them, or I just repeat myself. For example:

Mimi: Who's that one?
Fiona: That one's Rebecca.
Mimi: No, I mean the one next to Rebecca.
Fiona: Err... another Stephanie?
(Mimi & Stephanie laughs)
Mimi: That's Cecilia. That's funny. 'Another Stephanie.'

Cindy and I

And, you get the picture. The food was great! THANK YOU MR. AND MRS. TAN!!! It wasn't easy sitting on a children table, but Minh, Edim, Kenneth and I managed and surprisingly enough, I actually could stuff my legs under the table =). Afterward, We had an icecream cake and I remember what Winnie said, which I thought was interesting. I quote what Winnie said: "I never had blue icecream before." How cute is that?! Poor Cindy xD. She was trying to make a speech but we kept on singing Happy Birthday to her over and over again ROFLS! Fortunately, she managed to make her speech anyways =) HAHAHA! Oh another saying, that I distinctively remembered, was one made by Cindy: "Where's my dog? Oh!" Minh and I were laughing because we heard her say that, then realising that her dog was in her arms. LOL!

The Group, and Mr. Tan.

The whole house seemed to be filled with noise. Cindy's room for Singstar, the living room for Buzz, the kitchen for guitars and outside for the chit-chats. It was a really fun night. I think my cheeks were all red from laughing. I'm pretty sure everyone else felt just as happy and was having just as much fun. I know it's not your birthday yet Cindy, so I'll say it tomorrow, when I write a blog up about New Years Eve =).

Cindy, the 17 year old birthday girl!

PS. I especially wrote in green because I know you like green Cindy =D !
PSS. Sorry to Wendy and Celia! xO! LOL! I got the names wrong =D but thanks for letting me call you 'Winnie' Wendy =D!

MERRY.XMAS

2512O8 - Paul's 17th Birthday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
ENJOY IT AS LONG AS IT LASTS
THERE"S ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS LEFT TIL BOXING DAY
CHERISH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE PRESENTS
IT'S THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER

photo phetish?

(that's not really how you spell fetish LOL! Just felt like having a play on words =])

Yeah, Titan and I had 'greatness thrust upon us' (quoted by Shakespeares, in Julius Caesars... I think?) We had a sudden impulse to take 'meaningful, creative' photos. And we did just that. We couldn't help it. We were pretty bored out of our heads xD. Then we started on making our 2nd film LOL! We haven't finish, of course. So, til then, HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!

rabies infested homosapiens?

Yep. That's pretty much what Quarantine was about. (SPOILER: Mutation of rabies transfered from a dog to a human - similar to Resident Evil). Sorry if I've wrecked for you, but I DID bold the word spoiler. Jeffrey, Karen and I watched it at Burwood, went petting christmas deers and used Jeffrey as our makeup tester =). Bloody place! I took a train all the way to Croydon because it didn't stop at Burwood. Then I took the train back, thinking it would stop at Burwood... but it DIDN'T! Stopped at Straitfield, then waited for another train to take me to Burwood =.=. Damn, was I late! Fun day. Fun, FUN day. Oh, we had nachos afterwards. Well, Karen didn't want to have any... since it reminded her of the bloody parts in the movie. Oh yeah, we had some difficulties at the cinema because I forgot my ID card and Karen was underage, so we bought tickets for Madagascar 2 and attempted to sneak into the other movie. Alas, they didn't let us in until the correct time for our movie. Hence, we pretty much missed about 30 minutes of Quarantine, or so. While training back, I saw Katty =). I was glad I had someone to talk to!

ho ho holidays

2212O8 - Nathan's 17th Birthday.
3112O8 - Cindy T.'s + Annie T.'s 17th BIrthday.

Would you look at that, so many people's birthday in December! I wouldn't mind having MY birthday in December either xD. I mean, you get Christmas, New Year AND your birthday's presents all together =). Wouldn't that be awesome? Anyways, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! Since I can't really sleep early, I usually use that time to type of my blogs xP. Anyways, just last Friday, we (as in Titan, Sarina, Jenny, Joes, William, Phillip, Kelly and I) celebrated Christmas before Kelly left for her vacation in Vietnam, which is the day before Christmas Eve.

The day started late, since half of us was tardy to the rendezvous. Rather than leaving at 10:30, we left at about 11 instead ^_^". Poor Jenny, she waited the longest out of everyone. Anyways, we saw quite a lot of people, from our school, during the whole outing. And when I mean a lot, I mean a LOT! Since most of us skipped breakfast, we decided to have lunch at the food court in Market City. This was when I realise how generous Phillip was. I mean, I knew he is nice, but I never knew he was this nice! He bought us all a bottle of water =D. How nice is that?! Titan couldn't leave the food court without getting herself a sushi roll xD she was practically singing for sushi during the train. Then again, we were all not exactly 'talking' on the train either. Singing, screaming, laughing, giggling - you name it, we've done it. Thankfully, we didn't disturb anyone ... I hope?

We took a trip down to Paddy's Market and went window shopping. Jenny managed to find the pocket watch she's been looking for but ... it was $34. Compared to the $10 watches, boy was that expensive! OMG! There were people dressed up as a christmas tree and a present, walking around the market and singing! I had a huge urge to conform xD HAHAHA! Oh yeah, Kelly and William acted 'bumped out' when we saw people singing carols at Market City. We were going to do the same thing >xP! "They were professional," according to Kelly, but that didn't stop us! (You'll know what I mean later on)

Phillip and Titan and MI9

We walked to Darling Harbour, to play laser tag at MI9. The place was COOL! They had alcohol, pool tables, bowling, loud old pop/rock music. In the end, we decided to play 2 games of Laser tag. We were playing as guests. I quite enoughed myself and it was really fun. I was thinking that I hope the others thought it was worth their time and money, and guess what? They thought it was awesome! Although we lost, it was okay since it was the first time (2nd time for me and umpth time for Joes) for most of us. Our second game was at 4:15 so we rested up a bit and played some pool. HAHAHA! We tried to cheat by stuffing the holes with bottles so we can keep on playing! Alas, we got caught and are asked take the bottles out. We had a serious game then; William and Joes against Phillip, Sarina, Kelly, Jenny and I. The game was oh so close, but William and Joes won. We had some funny moments where Jenny and William were jinxing each other, Phillip giving us a taste of his skills in pool, and Kelly's strong attempts in getting the ball in. I didn't really dare to play much because ... I was hopeless at it. I can the hit the ball alright, just getting the wrong balls in was my problem ^_^'.

Our second game was one on one. You can tell how intense it was. Everyone was for themselves. A wide area to cover, with lots of hiding spots. Dark, smoking atmospheres and raving lights here and there. It was an intense 15 minute game =) and I liked it. We all liked it! Do you want to know how it went? Okay, this is the list, from first to eighth: Sarina, Titan, Joes, Phillip, Me, Jenny, William, Kelly. Sarina sure was sneaky and sly, like a fox! It's like she was a ghost or something, you barely notice until you get hit by her. Titan man, she was a mad cow, running everywhere, hitting everyone and all you can see was her flowing green dress! William man, every time I see William, he was already hit and was greeting me casually, like we were on the streets or something LOL! HAHAHA Jenny and I had a pact here and there during the game but in the end, we were both nailed down by the others xO. Joes and Phillip seemed to be a natural in the game. Hiding, and shooting, and running away. However, Titan and Sarina kicked their asses ROFLS! Kelly, she may not have the skills yet, but sure sure has the energy for it xD. What can I say? Everyone has their skills and flaws. I may have came 5th but I sure have really bad accuracy LOL!

Jenny at Lindt Cafe ROFLS!

Exhausted, we left the building and did a bit of sight seeing on the Pyrmont bridge. It got a bit cold. Luckily, I've brought my jumper with me, just in case. We did some ghostings, with Jenny videotaping us. William did most of it. Kelly and I did some too. One of them, I got too close and kept on stepping on their shoes, so they noticed straight away. Hence... ABORT SHIP! They kept on looking at me after a while x.x! Note to self: don't stand TOO close too the eer.. ghostee? We arrived to Lindt Cafe. You can imagine how Jenny would've reacted. That's all I'm saying. Seriously, the chocolate's so DELICIOUS yet so EXPENSIVE xO! WIlliam and Jenny left the store with an icecream cone =) (which bloody hell cost $5!!!).

William and Kelly advertising slushy and chocolates xD!

The group: Jenny, Sarina, Titan, Phillip, Joes, Kelly, Me and William

We had some fun at the sand park, near Darling Harbour, and once again, I made a fool out of myself damn it! That bloody thingy hates me! I swear, it hates me! We had fun climbing the eer... statues? We had fun down the slide and we had fun taking pictures here and there. Oh, and we had fun wetting each other too xD! You know, the water felt kind of warm... I wonder if someone actually peed in it O_O!

Kelly and William's Romeo and Juliet: Christmas style =D!

We made it to station and began our 2nd main activity (laser tag was 1st): SINGING CAROLS! That's right. Like I've said, we planned to sing carols; it was Kelly's notion =). And we did. Of course, since we didn't really know ALL the lyrics to a specific carol, we had to stop and swap to another one. We did this a couple of times before we found the one which we ALL knew how to sing. I'd like to tell you which carol it was, but I can't remember. Our trip back was just as fun as our trip to the city.

Dear Kelly, I just want to say that I hope you had a fun day and take care of yourself overseas and come back safely. Enjoy your holidays, enjoy Christmas and enjoy New year over there. We all love you =).

PS. Joes and Kelly swapped their t-shirts, for the sake of Kelly's request, so Joes end up wearing a girl's yellow, flowery singlet for the whole day! ROFLMAOS! How kind of him =).

HAPPY1MONTH

HAHAHA! Who would've thought? This is just a little note to my hubby ;) you know who you are ;) HAHAHA! Since I'm listening to Superhuman by Chris Brown ft. Keri Hilson, I'll dedicate this song to you ;) HAHAHA! So again, HAPPY1MONTH

Superman
Weak
I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat, On my knees

But that's the moment u came to me
I don't know what your love has done to me
Think I'm invincible
I see though the me I used to be

You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human (I feel so superhuman X2)
Super human

Strong
Since I've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like I've had it all along
And I can see tomorrow

Where every problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelievable to see how love can set me free

You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human (I feel so superhuman X2)
Super human

It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and it's going, gone away
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I can feel like I can do anything
Going going, I'm gone away in love

You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human

Super human

the $1MiLLiON question

Do you still believe in Santa Clause?

You got it, that's my $1MiLLiON question. I know that as we grow up, our faith in Santa will gradually falter, until we stop believing in him completely. However, I wonder, what if there's still people out there that still believes in Santa. If so, what do they have to support and encourage their faith in Santa. It would be nice, wouldn't it? I mean, to have something you believe in to inspire you and encourage you to be a good boy or girl so your hopes of getting that limited type of barbie doll or that awesome looking remote controlled car, on Christmas Day, will increase. It's not the same for teenagers plus. Children sure has it easy.

Santa Claus is like a religion, same with the tooth-fairy, the leprechaun, Easter bunny, Bigfoot, Lockness Monster, etc. The list is endless. It's strange how parents, or any adults, would encourage children to believe in highly impossible characters when they themselves don't believe in it. Makes them look like hypocrites, doesn't it? I don't know about that. I mean, there may be a Santa Claus out there. I mean, sometimes, believing is seeing right? Anyways, some people considered ghosts to be faux, however certain evidences and testimonies do prove that they can coexist with the human race. If so, then what's stopping them to say that Santa doesn't exist? Okay, so the 'said' conditions that he has elves, lives in the north poles, and travels around the world in approximately 12 hours to deliver presents to good, well behaved children is impossible, but I guess its up to the person to believe or not. Of course, a normal person, with some logic, would consider the possibilities shown before them and understand that fairy tales and myths will just stay as fairy tales and myths. This is the differences of a child's mind compared to an adult's mind. Is that why adults usually can't understand children? Is it because they predict them too much? Hms... like, because they are a child, they would be immature, that they'll believe anything an adult says, that they will think of the impossibles during their time spent in their own little worlds? *sigh*

I honestly believe that before babies could talk, they had their own special baby language, you know, like Baby Genuises, the movie. I'm not sure about the part where they have the knowledge of the universe, but I do think they have their own way of communication. xD I wonder if it's silly of me to think like that? Anyways, Christmas is coming. I love Christmas time. It's supposedly the most joyous occassion of them all because the whole family gets togther and celebrate and cherish the fact that they are still together. So, enjoy the season people! It only comes once a year.

PS. Do YOU believe in Santa Clause?
