NOTE TO SELF:
Never sign up for a knockout soccer match unless you are sure you are not going to:

- Get bruises from rebounding off super gunned year 11 and 12 brick walls
- have to trade with the reserve in the middle of the game due to overwhelming exhaustion (from running up and down the field TRYING (note the trying) to receive a pass without being tripped over by a giant foot and/or standing there looking stupid while Lauren Mahony kicks the ball at you and it rolls past between 2 certain players (glances sideways at george).
- lose shamefacedly. (dad: "aiyahh... what was the score?" Noor: "errr... i think we lost three one? or maybe it was four one.. can't really remember.. wasnt keeping track."

hmmmmmmmmmm

On the subject of our much loved asian relatives and the sufferings of us second generation australians, I would like to take the time to clarify a few things.

Asian parents are the most sensitive species on the planet. Take yesterday morning, as a perfect example.

-walks upstairs to have breakfast and unsuspectingly sits into car-

-enter mother-

"which one of you went to the toilet last the night before??"

"errrr... anita? (. . .)"

"then would you like to tell me WHICH ONE OF YOU used up all the toilet paper and DIDN'T put a new roll there? WHICH ONE??"

"ummmm..."

"WHICH ONE??"

"err... i think that was me..."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU?? WHY? How many times do i have to tell you? Don't you know that that is the most DISRESPECTFUL thing you can do to those around you? So WHICH ONE OF YOU went to the toilet without toilet paper then, ahh??"

=.='' see what I mean? Could this possibly be the same person who was aiyah-ing at whoever gave e that harry potter scar the day before? *shakes head*. And when Anglo-saxon friends of my sister come to visit, it's always:

"heloo Hannah!! Come in!"

-The poor unsuspecting kid walksinto the pristine clean house with her sneakers on-

"Err... can you... do you want to take your shoes off?"

"yep sure" -starts runnign upstairs-

"wait wait! Your feet must be so cold! Come back, wear some slippers! The tiles are so cold!"

"No i'm fine thanks... no really!"

"NO NO!! you will be cold! Come down!"

"ok...." -reluctantly slips into a pair of micky mouse slippers-


Oh god. On the other hand, asians can be so funny xD Like on monday, when we were all waiting in anticipation for ms Ydennek to stride in, who did but our wonderful music master!

"ocke! yes right.. ok, right, now... i goww tu get some wokk... Ocke! Now, class, who know what a whiite Australia Policy is? No? White, you know? White?" -tugs at his shirt-..."Right, BOOOOYYYSSS do yoo wokk!! NoW STOP TOKKING! IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR WOKK I'LL THROW YUU INTU DERR KONNA!!"

ROFLMAOOO!! But i guess now is the time to start respecting our heritage and their culture because once upon a time our parents came to australia in order to start new life and an easier living for their children away from the harsh conditions of Mainland china, with 10 dollars in their pocket, and desperately needing a job and so on and so forth. SO THAT'S WHY IM FREAKNGG DYING AT CHINESE SCHOOL TRYING TO PRESERVE MY DETERIORATING PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHINESE LANGUAGE X___X.

p.s. "Saying someone is ugly doesn't make you any prettier". I guess when you hear others dissing other people's appearance, it makes you realize the extent of which you tampered with someone else's self esteem. And I'm sorry If i have, and dissing someon'es lack of hair is not an exclusion >_____><____<
