TODAY.. september 30th 2006, saturday.
is the turning point of my life.
its time to welcome the new jeannie.
and throw the old one away.
maybe i'll just leave her at home.
but..the point is..
PLEASE WELCOME JEANNIE THE INDEPENDENT GIRL!
wooohoooo!!!!
i took bus to ballet then to the city then back home safely!
YAY YAY YAY!
and guess what??
I REACHED HOME IN ONE PIECE! haa
i feel so refreshed.. i feel like a whole new person.
ahahhaha. okok
it doesnt seem a very big deal but it actually is..
for the past million months in perth,
i've been driven around. if i took the bus or train,
it must be cuz bodyguard kristi was with me.
BUT TODAY! I DID IT MYSELF!!!
but u should have seen last night..
daddy: (searching the bus websites) JEANNIE COME HERE!
jeannie: wait wait... ok what
daddy: see ah.. first u walk to this place then take the bus then stop at ...
looks at map
jeannie: where's our house?
daddy: here..
jeannie: oh.. where's video ezy?
daddy: hmm here...hmm. oh! our house is here not there!

hah so u get what i mean...
so much work had to be done just so i could take the bus safely
hhaaha.
BUT! now i know how to go to so many places k.
and i met so many pppl in harbourtown..
ok la. 2 only. sarocha and dee. with their mums
I STEPPED ON AN ORANGE!
not orange peel. its ORANGE!
gross k. and i had thongs on so when i stepped, i felt liquid on my feet.
i was like. AAH! *looks* AAAH! EEW.
and my feet got sticky. yuck.
dont worry i washed it. =D
now i know how to get to the..
city, floreat forum, harbourtown, my ballet place..
i think thats it. haha but still...
ITS A BIG DEAL OK! =D

Thursday
Finally I can say.. IT’S THE HOLIDAYS TOMORROW!!!!
Haha. Gosh. This week has passed sooooo slowly!
Anyway.. I learnt so much today…
During pe we went for ice skating.
On the bus ride to the rink, I was trying hard to sleep but I couldn’t..
Shona, who was sitting next to me started talking to *lisa

I’ve always had an impression that *lisa was really stuck up since the first time I saw her.
I think its because she seems quite negative and straightforward,
And maybe because she’s different from what I see as normal.
She was talking about her family ( she’s the only child)
She refuses to call her cousins and aunts “family” because they are quite indecent so yeah. Carrying on, she was talking about how her mum got pregnant with her when she was only 16.. and they used to be really poor that they lived in a caravan… for her to get into a private school was kind of a blessing when her dad found a good job and got rather successful in comparison to how they used to live back then. So things started to get busy with work and stuff and one day while driving home feeling stressed up and all, *lisa’s dad sort of broke down and his car crashed. *lisa’s mum was apparently clinically dead, but came back alive again. And *lisa used to work a lot to pay for stuff and all too. Now they’re all living happily and own 2 houses.

I feel really happy for her that she’s living a smooth, peaceful life now
I feel guilty for judging her
I really respect her for being so strong after going through so much
I feel guilty that while she’s so thankful for being in st marys, im not cherishing every single second I spend here.. and I even procrastinate at times.

So yeah. But I’ve never like been cold to her or anything. I talk to her but I think she’s different. Well she is different but it doesn’t matter anymore. SHE IS MY FRIEND =D.

Next… its been a challenge surviving as a Christian here. Well not that bad actually. But its been a challenge having to get into the Aussie lifestyle and mix with them well while setting a good example as a Christian over here. Yeah that’s what I mean. Ahhaha. I’ve worked out the reason as to why have I been so silent the whole year. Well.. people enjoy bitching about everyone and anyone… not everyone does that though… but yeah.. their good friends, ppl they dislike, ppl that are different, ppl they don’t even know personally.. they are all the victims of bitchism. I don’t know if I’ve been bitched about but that’s beside the point. The point here is, there’s no way as a Christian trying to set a good example that I join in and add fuel to the fire. Maybe I can try to stop them by changing the subject or try to change their thinking and point of view of the person. But what have I been doing? Well guess what.. jeannie the scaredy cat decided she shall remain silent as she always has instead of speaking up for others. I always get so pissed with myself. What difference does it make if I just shut up and stare? No difference at all! But im scared to cut in… firstly, since I’ve always been silent, I don’t see myself to be involved in the conversation. Secondly, I’m not close to those ppl.. and im scared of them to a certain extent. Hehe yes I am very timid.. thirdly, I am too self conscious. I am afraid I will be disliked by the ppl and be the next victim of their bitching if I open my mouth to speak. Well well… that’s wonderful<-sarcastic tone!

HOWEVER, I believe that as long as I keep on praying and asking for courage, one fine day, when the sun shines brightly on the mountain tops, I WILL BE BRAVE! Yes I will! xD then I’ll be able to speak up for those innocent victims subjected to the ruthless bitching of their so-called friends. If I put in a good word or two, it might be able to alter their viewpoint on that person and might even start to like them.. and soon enough, bitching will extinct and everyone will live lovingly in peace and harmony. =) that’s awesome. Although it seems impossible, every action done will help towards that utopian environment! And it is worth it!

Ok on to the holidays. Yayness.
Im staying in perth this holiday and I plan to…
shop: buy bathers
buy deodorant
buy shades
buy shorts

work: redo my media studies assignment
do my media studies photo assignment
revise the year’s math

So I have one week of proper holiday… not too bad…OKAY! PRAY THAT I’LL STICK TO MY PLAN! Oh I will be cooking too. U might want to pray for my dad, who’s gonna eat most of it. Hehe. Till then! This post has been really long compared to what I’ve been posting recently. Okok I will stop! GOOD BYE! GOD LOVES YOU!

FRIDAY
ooh i am dead tired. kristi's going to singapore tmr..
I'LL MISS YOU OKAY! x)
she bought me a nice.. jacket?
it looks too girly to be called jacket...
haha i know! a woolly jacket. hahhaa
v nice k! i'll put the pic on some time.
k im goin to take bus to ballet.
PRAY HARD THAT I'LL EVEN REACH THERE!

<--(sleeping beauty!)
HELLO SQUATTIE!xD
haha its sunday. =((
back to the boarding hse day.
back to school day.<-feeling blue
sigh. dad's out buying dinner.
im supposed to be studying..
im taking a rest. ahahah
its amazing how time flies...
it feels like yesterday when i had all the farewell parties..
crying face, red runny nose, swollen eyes. EWW.
but its so nice to read the farewell letters now..
i always laugh at valval's letter. she's so cute!
she gave me a birthday card (3 mths before my bday)
with chinese writing inside. so i will not forget chinese!
how sweet. x)
of course i enjoy reading everyone else's too..=D
after 2 million donkey years,
i finally decided to put some stuff on my board a few days ago.
i was reading all the letters again.
some actually..
and i was like..I MISS SINGAPORE!!!

come to think of it,
my life here has IMPROVED(not really a good word to use but i cant think of the right one)
hahahha... i think i talked bout this before..ohwell.
coming here has been quite an exciting experience.
it has opened many new opportunities for me..
i get to do stuff i dont get to do in singapore..
i have time for myself. relax, do sports music dance and still have time..
yeah.
meeting more people.
I FEEL SO BLESSED!
i think im a person who dislikes changes.
i can adapt quite quickly.
once i've settled and adapted, i feel all comfy and dont wanna change the routine.
im stubborn in that way.
so now im adapting to the life here.
of course there's stuff that i miss in singapore..
my family, friends, shopping, FOOD!, school, transport..
but this place has its pros too..
my family(daddy), friends, nice weather, friendly ppl, school..
i think its just a matter of getting used to stuff..
speaking about that..
after having kristi out with me for the past few.. i mean past MANY weekends,
it does feel kinda weird not having her around.
(she's in the boarding hse studying for mocks)
i cant imagine nxt yr!
half the time i spend in the boarding hse is in her room!
talktalktalktalk.
sigh.
i hope she stays in perth for uni. =D
anyway, im quite excited for nxt yr tho.
geraldine goh rhui min is coming! (my cousin la)
yay yay. so exciting.
and kristi's brother is coming too.
so funny.. kristi and i were talking about guy best friends.
then kristi was joking that when her bro comes he can be my guy best friend
then everytime we mention him,
i'll be like..YEAH HE'S GOING TO BE MY GUY BEST FRIEND!
when i dont even know him.
then she told him that he's going to be my best friend, he was so scared!
haha..i was laughing so much i had stomachache.
continuing with my list..
i heard a girl from rgs will be coming too.
how exciting..YAY!
im going to make friends with all of the newcomers nxt yr..=D
so they wont have to feel helpless and shy and lonely like me when i first came.
i'll punch ppl who bully them (in my dreams.. u noe.. im quite timid when im not dreaming)
but u get what i mean..
so that they'll be able to adapt as fast as possible to enjoy the life here!
its such a waste of time to be sad and moody when there's so many nice things around you to admire.
oh anth thing i like bout this place..
they have nice pretty flowers everywhere..
the egg flower, the purple egg flower...
and the pretty skies with nice puffy clouds.
the super sunsets (i used the word 'super' to show that its nicer than just 'NICE')
they have pretty sceneries..
haha.. ooh. i feel so close to nature.. haha
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE LIKE POCAHONTAS!
(i used to be so proud of myself when i could spell POCAHONTAS. i was 5 or 6 ok!)

kristi's been reading so much lately its so scary..
just looking at her blog scares me.
her chim chim big words splattered here there everywhere makes me feel so lousy.
maybe i should start reading chim books like her soon.
THEN I WILL COME AND SCARE YOU!
i've been reading mangas u see.. ( ''anime is the cartoon. manga is the book''kristi)
it helps me become animated and energetic. hahha.
since i've got that animated and energetic side of me established,
i've got to sprinkle some chimmy chimchims in my brain.
off for dinner!
GOD LOVES YOU!

thinking back about my first days in perth..
it surely has improved heaps now..

a bit more balanced i guess..
i used to be SUPER SILENT

at least now my good friend is my silly roommate!
a few days back her wardrobe door collapsed! hahha
it was detached from the hinges!
and she had to use my mirror. GOSH

oh ya! i forgot to bring my school shoe for tomorrow's choir performance. haha
so funny..
then i asked someone to bring it for me cuz i left it in the boarding hse.

OH WELLS. i'll get to know her/

WHAT I LEARNT FROM FRIDAY BIBLE STUDY:
exodus3-4
God heard the Israelites' cries and asked Moses to go talk to Pharoah.
BURNING BUSH THAT DID NOT BURN!
haha
anyway..IMPORTANT POINT: dont think you are not good enough to do some stuff God wants you to do. ok.. you may have your inadequacies. BUT GOD IS IN CONTROL! HE WILL EQUIP YOU! so dont worry!
lets see moses..he was apprehensive,doubtful of his ability, incompetent,just like you and me!
BUT GOD SAID:"who gave man his mouth?who makes him deaf or mute? who gives him sight or makes him blind? is it not I, the Lord?"

INDEED IT IS! xD
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEE!YAY!

today.
ballet:
carried on with pointe and choreography..
i was so happy i could think of steps to do.
we're doing alice in wonderland as a class item..
its so cute! hahah. and funny too.
as usual, my toes are crying out in pain!
I AM CRYING OUT IN PAIN!

driving:
yeap i learnt to drive today.
daddy was so annoying..
i was like.. umm.. whr's the hole for the key?
he pointed to some place on the left of the steering wheel..
i touched about and couldnt find a keyhole!
AND I REALISED IT WAS ON MY RIGHT!
grr. how annoying.. then i have this habit on stepping on things with a lot of strength..
hahah. i did that to the brakes and accelerator.
when i did that on the brakes, my dad nearly flew out of the car.. at 10km/hr
(it was goin so slow i thot it was 1km/hr)
that's when we realised we dont have our seatbelts on!
when i did the same thing on the accelerator, nth happened cuz it was on parked mode..
so there was just a VROOOOMM sound. which was rili cool. haha.
my dad's car sounds like a motorbike!
anyway.. it was a stressful hour for me.
it was an EMPTY carpark. that was good tho.
cuz i forgot that when carparks have cars you dont have much space to move about.
bleah.

dinner,
to vicky's home:
had coffee made by their funky coffee machine.
listened to victoria's funny story..
its actually a sentence long but she took forever to say it..
cuz she would start 'one day i was rollerblading in singapore and then this indian girl on her bicycle..HAHAHHAHAHHA!!'
and then she starts over again and does exactly the same thing over and over again.
so her dad asked her to start from indian girl instead..
so she was like 'the indian girl..HAHAHHAHA!'
so what wassit??
'one day i was rollerblading in singapore and this indian girl on her bicycle behind me banged into my arse.'
i could imagine.. haha

my life plan..(sort of)
im going to get married in my early twenties [20/22]
have my first child at ard 24
i think i want to have a son first then after that a daughter.
haha.
then i should date that person as long as possible so.. 3-4 yrs.
THAT MEANS..i only have 1-2yrs to find a husband!
oh no!
haha.
i'll go make another plan then.

helo squattie! =D
yesterday was a horrible day which turned out to be great! =))
horrible:sports day.
well.. just some parts of it..
cuz my close friends are all in other houses so i was lonely.="(
and i was irritated cuz i think i was one of those who cheered the most and the irritating person gave other ppl sweets but didnt offer me any! wad kinda leader!
who would wanna join the house if she's so irritating.grrr.
ok she is not irritating. but what she did (or did not do) WAS VERY UPSETTING!
x(
but there were fun times.. like when i played LEADERBALL (funfunfun!)
when hannah and i tried to run the hurdles for fun
and had chinese singing competitions with kristi and her chinese friends
even sitting on mei and squashing her into a roti prata was fun

then when the event was ending i realised my bag was wet and my jacket had brown stains as if it was stepped on!
WHAT ARE EYES FOR! cant stand it when ppl trample their way around with their eyes in their pocket..grrr
so that spoiled my mood for the rest of the day.. or so i thought.
i wasnt excited for the boarders' ball cuz i was so pissed that morning
but after that i had no time to rmbr to be moody or pissed
we hardly had much time to prepare for the ball!
showered, fetched stuff frm my dad, dried my hair, dried nicole's hair, dried melyse's hair,
did my makeup, did nicole's hair,a little of nicole's makeup

sentence of the day:"living in the boarding hse has certainly improved my makeup skills!"(hannah thornton the silly nutty roommate)

then i hopped into my dress, jumped into my shoes, grabbed my bag and flew down the stairs.
we were all in such a rush! and we actually were thinking of watching E Zuo Ju Zhi Wen while preparing! haha.
when we were there we helped get food to the boat. i mean CRUISE..small cruise.TINY CRUISE.
then we waited.. kristi and i were starving! we didnt have dinner!
anyway, we sat on a bench and studied the different dresses and gowns.
come to think of it.. the pictures i took only had heads.. no dresses no shoes.. haha..
OOPS.
then hannah went to meet her date, MATT
nicole met her date, SAM
i met my date,KRISTI
and she met hers, JEANNIE.
HAHA. reasons i didnt bring a date: i dont rili know anyone, i prefer hanging out with my female friends(HAHA), im too selfish to pay for someone i dont know.HEEHEE
but it was lotsa fun..
better than the past 2 dinnerdances.
cuz i think i know more ppl and im more comfy with them so yeah.
we ATE the moment we stepped into the boat.
haha. kristi, patricia and me.
our fav hangout place was the table of food la DUH!
while everyone danced away we were busy pigging out. haha.
i think we really looked like some dateless losers eating our night away.
and patricia said i made it more obvious that im eating a lot when i try to be secretive.
HOW CAN! but the chips and sushi were so irresistable..
panita walked pass..'wow! the sushi's almost finished!'
us three: (turns around, back facing her) 'cant be us..'
hahaha. no dinner wad.. eat more la.
then sat and talked, danced, took pictures of heads.. haha.
part of the reason y i felt more comfy was cuz there were more asians.
HAAH. oh no im racist! haha im not la!
i just know how to talk to asians better.
hmm.. loved it other than the fact that my feet ached after so much dancing.heeheee.
