New Year’s Eve (31.12.11):

9:00pm

I wasn’t sure what to do. Somehow i didn’t get the excitement i usually have. So we decided to go to Northbridge and see Pogo (perth dj) there, but we were late, he’s finished. and maan! it was packed! lots of families, kids, also weirdos. Police were everywhere though so it was well managed and controlled. The three of us decided to have dinner at a local Vietnamese restaurant, Jebun and her sister joined in later on that night. Jebun and Bombi wanted to go out to a bar or a club and stay there till countdown. i was already tired and as i said, i didn’t have the excitement and the drive, so i rejected.

New Year’s Day and Birthday,

12:00am

So we went back to my place at about 11.45. Bombi and Jebun were still on their way, so by 12:00am, it was only me and tasha. We said each other happy new year and she wished me happy birthday. Not long after, Jebun and Bombi came in and they brought me 3 Grand Chicken burgers from Maccas as my birthday cake, with candles on it, cute.

Adit, Meidira, Riki, and Dindom got here around 12.40 and then yenny got here a bit late cause she just finished work. we were sitting outside, drinking and talking. That’s the kind of new year and birthday i wanted! nothing fancy. it was so much better rather than in the club getting hammered. They went home at 3.30. I crashed as soon as they left, had a bit too much wine.

Kevin Walker:

He sent me a text at 9.30pm on the 31st, saying happy new year. thought he would had forgotten my birthday but he did not. Sent me another text at 11pm, saying he had planned to stay awake until my birthday but he’s so sleepy (understandable, it’s 2.30 in sydney). he said he’s looking forward to take to a special meal once he gets here. oh and Love you + xxx at the end.

He called me in the afternoon, we chatted for bout 10 minutes and he said he had to back to work. but 30 mins after that, he called me again for about 20 minutes. He’s at the park, running.

02.01.12:

So yeah, that was it. nothing much. pretty ordinary. Where are my presents? (just a little disappointed, a little bit, hehe)

Today is my big sist’s birthday, wishing all of her dreams will come true and a bright bright future for her.

omg! i can’t believe that my birthday is only one day away now. 23 hours to go to be exact. i didn’t actually realise it until my housemate brought this into conversation today. not sure why, but i don’t have any excitement whatsoever. i don’t even know what i want to get for my birthday presents from my friends. haven’t thought what i’ll be doing for NYE as well. but anyhow, i feel good turning 22, one year older. chance to get more serious towards serious things in my life. here comes the time to reflect back again on all the things i’ve done or should’ve done this year. here comes the time with all the new year resolutions. but overall, i think i did good this year. 2011 was a good year. i had fun.

not being cocky, but i’ll be having my master degree at the age of 22! how cool is that. though i know lots of challenging things are waiting for me soon. but i’ve considered myself as avery lucky person since i was in my mom’s stomach! she almost decided not to have me born fyi, because the doctor told her that she’s having a baby girl again. OUCH! and TADA i was born as a boy, but you know, gay boy, SNAP! #ironic

everything has been so easy for me. life has been so easy for me. God has alway been so kind to me.

Thoughts of The Night

ok, still continuing my previous topic about being grateful. At this current stage of my life right now, i feel happy, like real happy. Sure there are some things that i wished to be better but overall, it’s all somehow beautifully combined together, making it so fun to live on.

My boss just offered me to become a manager at their store. I respectfully denied. Stating all of my reasons, basically telling them that i should find myself a job that is related to my study and have the company sponsored me later on. Who would’ve thought today, she went up and told me that they could be my sponsor if i wanted to, though i’m not sure if that’s possible. i thought it should be coming from a real business company, and at a worst case, they are willing to find me some connections in marketing or finance, to have me hired and maybe be my sponsor.

Right now i just have to focus on applying jobs, and gotta be super patient with that. And also applying for my temporary residence visa. I’m telling you there are millions of docs i need to sort out!

Mom, Dad and Pieh are all coming over here for my graduation. How exciting is that. Though, worries have not gotten away from me when it comes to my dad asking me why haven’t i had a girlfriend yet.

Kevin Walker is coming back here on the Jan 9, morning at 8. Excited? of course i am, but also worried big time. I’m gonna have to prepare to have a very long and serious conversation with him and i know that i have to be ready for whatever the consequences are going to be. It’s a fucking complicated thing between me and him right now and i just don’t wanna talk about it over the phone. And right now, i don’t like people asking me about anything relating to that subject. i gotta figure this thing out by myself.

and oh btw, this blog is supposed to be Barehanded part two. Cavin Tondeo is the only one allowed to read this blog.

Lesson of the day

When you know deep down inside your heart that you have family who love you. Friends who care for you. And you have enough amount of money that allow you to have an acceptable way of living, you should not put aside all of them and make your own world miserable.

There are other things in life you need to worry about. There are plenty of other people whose situations are way worse than yours.

It’s ok to feel down and be ‘ungratefull’ sometimes, that’s very human-like. But do not let it change the way you act to other people or might as well to yourself. Think about the positive things you have rather than all the negative reasons why you should be miserable. And two words for you childish people out there. GROW UP!
