watermelon.

that is all.

summer, come already

i wish exams will be done with already
i'm so excited for the summer
mission & NTE will be awesome :)
plus roadtrip with meine lieblings
and then ASIA!
the only thing that would make it even more fantastically exciting
would be if i'm going to a summer music festival
which i'm not
because lineups are ok, but nothing i'm really excited about
plus i was mostly hedging my bets on laneway fest
i really do like the antlers and all
and some of the others
but not enough
plus noone wanted to come with me anyway.
i think i'd go if ladyhawke would be playing melb laneway
but apparently she's only playing NZ laneway.
sigh.
BUT aside from that i'm hoping the bands do side shows
so i can go to them instead.
can't wait :)

asian family gathering awkwardness take 2

yes sorry.

i figure i'm just going to restart doing the everyday posts once i completely finish exams

which is on the 5th

and i'll aim to reach 300 posts in the year instead

though the thing is i do have quite a few blogs posts that have been started

but i never bothered to finished them

so i'll finish those and post those up too

but anyway so today i had to attend another family gathering

though this time it was awkward because i didn't know who the people were

that just visited from hong kong

apparently the guy and his wife is meant to be my cousin

but he's like 16 years older than me.

so yes.

its also awkward because asian adults make a fuss about everything

and i had to sit next to my mum.

i had my own dish but the rest of them shared

by rest of them, i mean adults

(my 8 y.o. and 10 y.o. cousins didn't share either)

and my mum kept offering some of my food for them (as in the visitors from hk) to try

because they don't really eat vietnamese food

not that i minded

but its just weird that she was offering my food for them to try

plus it was pork chop and i didn't have a knife

so it would have meant me trying to try and cut pieces of meat using a spoon.

another thing i HATE about having asian parents

having to say hi to people

not that i'm a snob or anything

but like my mum expects me to say

"hi aunty" or "hi uncle" to like everyone

or today "hi cousin"

and when i don't

(and i usually don't) she usually says i have no manners

and i witnessed the same thing today with my kid cousins

my aunty was like to them "did you say hi to your second aunty?"

its quite annoying

its not like i HAVE to say something verbally to acknowledge them

i usually smile at them anyway.

but no,

my mother is quite insistent.

sigh.

yes, i'm not quite sure why my mum made me go today

i didnt exactly talk much

plus i was being antisocial

and was doing the sudoku in the mx.

haha

lightning

it was weird weather today

even though i was indoors the whole day

and it didn't really affect me anyway

(side note: i really like when it rains and i'm indoors and i can hear the rain falling outside, its a very comforting sound)

but there was thunder and lightning

and even though my blinds are closed

i could see the lightning seeping in through them

whenever it struck.

also, slightly off topic

why is it that when you get struck by lightning once, you are more likely to get struck again?

compared to someone who has never been struck

i find it really odd.

anyone else find the 'places' app on facebook, and any other app like it, super stalkerish?

(yeah yeah, i'm massively behind. hopefully if i'm not struggling with time, i'll update. sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrry.)

sorry for the lack of posts

its been quite stressful and busy weeks

and probably will be for the next month.

i'll hopefully be back on track by next week,

but yes. sorry.
