Simplicity at its finest is NOT what i would depict how my life was, nor would i suggest the continuation of my naivety however, as my life escalates into complexity, i hope to keep my optimistic hindsight on life in order to live. Just live. My personal ordeal is to live with no regrets, as though i will die tomorrow. I follow the path that will lead me to who I want to be: someone who people can confide in, to go to when they are in their deepest hour; that's who I want to be. That is my aim in life. Hobbies and interests make my path more flamboyant and enticing, while my family, pet, and friends are the reasons for my existence; the reasons why i try and improve myself. My lack of self motivation for change may be quite obvious, but it doesn't mean that improvement did not occur. It may be so petite, so small, that it's practically invisible, but i guarantee you, i do try. Indefinitely.

安息吧,第四阿姨

我想我已经能够访问你搭腔我希望访问在今年年底你左右对不起没有跟你有更多的
是一个不错的阿姨给我。我听说你死了一个和平的死亡。请继续看在你的家人。我们将永远想着你。如果可以,妈妈和我会尽量来尽快访问你的坟墓。

我觉得不好的行为,因为我觉得这是我的错,妈妈部分是不能去你的葬礼。如果我不认为我们开车到我的校园我的任务在手,妈妈不会晚回家打电话给在使签证费用的家伙。然后,她就一直要与你的葬礼本周二姑姑那里。

我知道你对我妈妈很多的照顾。我会照顾她,你不要担心。你可以走了,但我还是希望你能快乐在那里。

making out with ox tongue

Or so Eric said =).

On Wednesday night, a small group of us (most UNSW students) went to celebrate Eric's birthday at Yummy Chinese BBQ at Central. Thanh and I were late. I thought it was fortunate that I waited for him at Lidcombe station because I was low on credit and travel with a friend is better than travelling by yourself =).

For $30 per person, with the exception of Eric since it was his birthday, we spent 2 hours eating our hearts out. Mimi and I were quite happy because there were quail eggs =D ! Though quail eggs are higher in cholestral than chicken eggs ... Apparently, Jenifer wasn't really a meat eater so I felt a bit bad for her since there weren't many vegetable side dishes =/. I also think I ate chicken since I'm hopeless at distinguishing one meat from another ahaha... well, like Vicky said 'what you don't know won't hurt you,' =D. Anyways, from what I remembered, we tried pork belly, pork intestine, ox tongue, crab meat, chicken gizzard (I really don't know what it is, nor do I remember eating it), ox back, prawns, chicken wings, frankfurt kebab sticks and many more. LOL there were a lot of insinuations about the ox tongue, eg. the title of my blog post.

Derek, Kenny and Stanley came by when we were about to cut the cake. I was quite content that most of the desserts were mango flavoured =D though, I must say that the pudding didn't really taste like mango. Anyways, the cake was a Michel's Patisserie cheesecake. I think it was some sort of berry flavour. It was funny watching Eric blow out the candle again after Thanh relit them, saying that the wish didn't come true. I'm assuming that they were implying that Vicky was still there LOL that was mean of them. I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake and in all honesty, I don't think I should eat anything dairy when I'm extremely full, and I was getting quite full =S. Either, I managed to finish my piece of the cake. 



They going to karaoke after dinner but I couldn't join them seeing that I had an assignment due soon and I had no ride back. Derek and Sarah joined me. Although Sarah took another line from us, fortunately Derek took the same line as me so I wasn't as lonely. My mum was extremely annoyed with me when I got back *sigh* I just kept quite for the rest of the ride back. Oh wells, like she said, either I find a ride home with I was go to home late or go home early if I wanted her to pick me up *sigh*.

PS. It was funny that Thanh was the only one who noticed the half naked portrait of a lady on the while, and after he pointed it out, we all automatically turn to look at it LOL.
PSS. Thanks Sarah for the photos =).
PSSS. I heard Jenifer was as good as Taylor Swift *gasps* !!! Whoa =D !!! I wish I was there to hear it =D.

rain another year

O2O411 - Jeffrey's 19th & Raymond D.'s 20th Birthday.
O7O411 - 爸爸's Birthday.
O8O411 - Jack's 20th Birthday. 

Last Sunday, I went to the Bring It On Festival, at the Fairfield Show ground, with Karen. It wasn't as crowded as last year, but it was nice to see how strongly they were advocating health amongst the community =); I, myself, managed to bring home half a bag full of them... well, kind of since I ate half of it before I brought it home ^_^'. I did the skipping rope challenge and only made it to 3 minutes and 21 seconds =(. If I made it to 5 minutes, i would've gotten a basket ball or a soccer ball. I was able to take home a skipping rope or a handball, but I already have both, so I just took extra peaches instead =D (which were free to begin with). By the way, I actually skipped barefooted because I was wearing platforms, and I don't think wearing platforms while skipping would've been very comfortable. Apparently, Karen said that I kept on moving up and down the place instead of staying in one spot hahaha I guess I unintentionally did that when I avoided stopping my skipping routine. 

I also had American churros (which is kind of like a stick version of a cinnamon donut, with filling inside), mango flavoured snow cone and hot dog. I kind of regretted ordering the hot dot after I saw all that oil on the frying pan =S. We went around collecting freebies as well, and even had a free hand massage =D it was like heaven *sigh*. Seeing that we couldn't decide what to get for our mothers for Mothers' Day, we decided to make them this smelling bath soap ourselves; they were giving free lessons in the Women's section. We also met and talked to Adrian a couple of times. I didn't see many ex-volunteers from the years before =/ I guess they didn't bother this year.

We went home at around 2:30 PM because it started raining. Unfortunately, my mum was busy at home so Karen's mum was nice enough to give me a lift home =). Maybe I should've said to drop me off at Stocklands instead so I could use my $20 voucher straight away =D. But it would've been lonely shopping by myself ... eh, it doesn't matter anymore =).

Later that night, at around 5:30 PM, we went to SuperDish, at Cabramatta to celebrate my uncle's birthday. Coincidentally, Vicky was working on that day. Well, actually, I half expected that, seeing that it was a weekend and all lol =). My cousin, Marina, and mum also noticed she was working that night too =). I thought I would feel awkward, eating with my family and having a friend working there, but it didn't feel awkward at all. Maybe it was because she was too busy, and I was just minding my own business with my family. I did kept a look out for her every now and then though =) and she did talk to me a bit when she got to our table =). The food wasn't bad, but the pipis/clams disappointed me =( half of them were just shells, and I'm sure we're supposed to have more than the amount that they gave us... well, in comparison to the bowl I saw another table had the last time I ate there >.> ... Ah, it didn't matter, I and an enjoyable night =). 

I joined my cousins to Woolworth after dinner and saw Carina =D. I wonder how long she's been working there already. I wish I worked there =(. Strangely enough, Marina asked me that I must not really like my mum because I followed them instead of my mum. Initially, I thought it was because I felt more comfortable, seeing that I was closer to their ages than my mum and my relatives' ages. Or am I just turning a blind eye to the distance between my mum and I? I thought it was decreasing, but now I don't know anymore. I'll just think about it another night.
