What does it mean to be a good person?

THOUGHT MASH
You know what i like? How Yr 7 orientation is on tuesday = Yr 7's buy Ruse uniform = time to buy senior uniform! Is there a chance I can quickly nip away and buy mine when they get theirs? Or is it a bit rude? I had this dream last night where Edward Scissorhands, our school gardener died. I was very sad and I woke up half in tears. I need a nail clipper in my pencilcase. Oh Edward Scissorhands where are you when i need you! Bet you could give me perfectly shaped nails. HAHA today Brian's umbrella broke and I went high playing with it cos it was black and looked like a dementor and i said RIDICULUS! Then i went to the bathroom and laughed like moaning myrtle hehe. Oh i love the rain! Today my dad put my yogurt in the freezer cos he didnt know what it was

Ok time to change moods. This is more serious. 

There are some people that continually do charity work for most of their life because they feel the need to. Some of these people do it out of the good of their own heart. But a very small percentage, or i hope so, do it because it makes them feel better. Is that really what charity work is all about? I mean, sure, go for it if you think you're gonna feel good after it, but isnt the real meaning of charity work to help others? You see, some people do it because it makes up for the bad-ness within themselves, cos they've done something wrong.

Many people judge others for not doing charity work, or becoming fully involved. But to me, a good person is one that treats others fairly and with respect and knows right from wrong. Take religion. I hardly go to church. In fact i think the last time i went on my own will was Christmas. But I do pray each night and I know that God is always with me so don't give me the huge gasp or call me a sinner for not going to church regularly. You can still be a good person and not have to do the things deemed neccessary by everyone. You're not a sinner because you dont go to church. You're not a ignoramus for not doing charity work. If you're kind, loving and a believer, then you're good. Has anyone ever thought about it that way?
We do make mistakes here and there everyday, but God did create a certain species and it's called
'HUMAN'. Everybody is one.

footsteps

wooo mysterious title ;) will probably make sense if you relate it to the blog hopefullyyy but . .yes :)

havent blogged in a whileee and SO MUCH important life markers seem to have gone by since thenn. camp, formal, harrypotter7(part one)- which so counts as importantt! - birthday outings etc etc. crazy stuff :)

so many time markers have passed, important moments in our life, all compacted in two hectic weeks of fun and craziness :)! and its been EASY to forget about the fact we'll be sixteen-and-mature soon, and stuDying for the HSC - the HSC which has always seemed so far away, so foreign and out-of-this-world. the HSC as in the HSC - not just any old exam.

feeling like times running fast away from us - after the years of the HSC we'll all be old and graduating and applying for universities and crazy adult things begin :(

am in one of those sickeningly posItive moods where 'anything is possible' and you should 'take chances' and 'hope, dream, laugh and love'. ifff youre a cynic - youd hate me :/


hmm. i think im going to miss 2010 :')


feeling like we've got until the end of the holidays to be a kid - senior years means serious HSC studying for all of us. the competition's gonna get crazy :(.

if you're bored: youtube rucka rucka ali - we're all asian. SO CATCHY :D lol, laughed so hard :D to the tune of bruno mars - just the way you are! :)

hmm - this totally explains me ;)

live live live. im feeling completely motivational today. maybe its because of SLP yesterday? - PSSH NAAH ;D. though teresa dinh was AMAZING - she was so cute and bubbly! you can really SEE how she've been an ideal school captain - and she was approachable as well! amazing :)

in a total mood for doing somethinggg craaaaazy :D
*every time i remember, ill try wish on a star for you, okay? :) x.*
ciaoo :)
x.

EDIT: forgot to mentionn! was talking to amy - this teacher? uni student? student teacher? who has been at our school for a while doing Amnesty stuff etc - andd apparently word has it the teachers reckon our year 10 formal was better than the year 12's !:D

CHYEAH. THANKYOUUU :D nice job formal committee year 10 2010' :D!

that be how we rollll :O)

Toast

How the heck have I changed since year 7? Quite a LOT actually. In year 7 no one from my school came to Ruse so I was quite quiet and felt really really awkward sitting next to guys for 2 main reasons:
1) Some were so bloody tall. Like Will who stood next to me in roll call. what a giant.
2) Their voices were so low D= haha i look back at that in laughter.
Every single math test I studied for and I limited my msn days to friday afternoons ONLY.

Year 8 was my outgoing year. I errupted in this burst of conversation and the most memorable moment was when were discussing what we had for breakfast :
Emery: I have toast.
(few seconds later)
Emery: What's toast? 
LJ: MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAA (i was physically on the floor laughing non-stop for 10 minutes)
And then another time i was explaining to emery what stockings were ( the girl ones). Took me friggen ages but in the end he was like 'ohh the things you hang on christmas trees' HAHAHHAHA But year 8 was quite a dramatic year for me

It's funny how i don't have many memories of year 9, but the best thing was making new friends ( and keeping my old ones!). I probably would've never known some people had i not been in their classes. I discovered that you gotta believe what is there, not what you want to believe which is the best hurdle I have overcome, by far.

Year 10 has been a freaking awesome year- formal, camp, having longer hair, a new love for jewellery and flowers and perfume. I've experimented more this year and if people are gonna judge me then I really don't care.
.................................................................................
LUNA PARK was awesomesauce. I broke my upside down ride virginity on the Pirate Ship. OMGSH it was so scary when you went upside down cos i could feel myself slipping out of the seat D= The thrill of it all was so worth it and i'm definitely gonna take more chances next time.

LJ's theory
1) If a guy likes a girl, they like them forever, even if its 'not that much'. =D

FACE THE MUSIC

SG formal on Thursday was so motherfreaking awesome. I swear about 100 people were cramped into this little square dancing and I was suffocating in the middle, but it was worth it cos the DJ was THE BEST. One girl actually went in a tux and im like 'hey he's cute' but turns out its a girl! D= photos on fb.

Just came back from Peer Support camp and I must say I really enjoyed walking on the beach in pouring weather. Omgsh at night, there was this humunculus moth on the wall and I took one of the spare pillowcases to whack it but when I was staring up at it, it DIVED (dove?) down at fulli tabouli collision speed and went smack BANG in my face. D+ Slept in Rach's bed the rest of the night due to CORNER trauma. Our skit at night was so fun to prepare cos ours was based on a metaphorical interpretation of music P(ARRR)RACY. I was Captain Papa and he had a choice to either "face the music" or leave the group and his PAPERBAG FACE haha. We went high on funny jokes ( tune-ttes!) and the funniest thing was when Mr Wilson was mentioning something about drawing attention to yourself and he goes to the whiteboard and writes 'ATTENTION',  draws an arrow to the side of the board and stands next to it. LMAO Also i got the 17 minutes bridge crossing question so I'm happy that I'll probably be employed by Microsoft . The mood badge scenario was quite funny cos if you had bipolar, the badge would be epileptic! Thanks Tom for bringing up the idea C:

While I was in one of my acts of randomness ie dancing and singing along the corridoor, I bashed my hand real  hard into the brick wall and got a line of cuts across my fingers. It looks pretty cool =) And I have board shorts rash. You know what I realise? I have acquired 90210 Silver's voice! Listen to it and then listen to me, see if you notice any similarity. Report back =)


Can you believe that Napoleon Dynamite won 2005 Golden trailer award for best comedy? Check out the list of awards on wikipedia; its so hard to believe people actually found it funny/understandable.

HAHAHA THE AWKWARD COW TEATS IS FUNNY!!

Im not a genius

Just a quick post about something I fully WTH'd about:
I have an IQ of 138 the last time I got tested, which was in year 3. 
An IQ of 138 does not classify you as a genius =(  although I am at the 99.4 percentile of people.
I simply have 'very superior intelligence'. An IQ of 150 and above is classified as genius. I'm actually quite happy not to be at the 99.99 percentile because I think you'd just act abnormal and I don't think any job would actually employ you, just cos you're probably smarter than the damn computer.
Sydney Girls formal tomorrow, Food Fair Saturday, Shopping Sunday, Camp Monday, Volley Finals Wednesday, Formal Friday, Luna Monday =D

 I burnt 25 calories on beryl's bike machine and felt dizzy for 10 minutes after.wth...

I had this sudden feeling today, that i was in Malaysia. Its that crazy feeling of being somewhere you're not. It's the whole climate, smell and atmosphere. A freaking wonderful experience.

Game Plan

Wednesday; Alder raged (?) at us about, never being in math because we're "OFF ON A PICNIC" ie High Resolves. Apparently those who aren't in HR got better marks in the yearly than us resolvers. O.O And that M1 next year is very different to J =( . Then Alder went on to ask us the sum of root 3 and root 2 to 4 dp. D= Oh yeah and those Maths SC papers- they're TRICKY. They got hidden tricks boy! And then came the most epic game of volleyball EVER. I must say, it really wasn't my day but I'm glad I did one good dig which was in by the minimalist amount. We lost for the first time but had interesting convos with Yun, Annie, Mozzie, Leen, Yip and Crystal. How enjoyable.

I think the coolest thing I did all week was eat a mango in the car on Saturday, peeling it and eating it like an apple. It ain't that hard but your face does get a little sticky =P

QUIDDITCH WAS MEGA EPIC TODAY ESPECIALLY AT RECESS!!!
Lahoud and Matt ran around the oval like twice then around the school and disappeared for like 5 minutes then the snitch rested ( sat down) then got up as Lahoud was coming to grab it then up the bus bay area and down and Lahoud slipped and matt caught it!!! I lost count on how many times they fell and slightly gave up  but it was something like 7 .I think people were staring at me jumping around like a lunatic.

OK plan for the school cert:
1) Be a little stupid. Don't overthink the freaking answers and just write the most basic answer you can think of. Don't drink V or get drunk cos that would just ruin the whole point.
2) Read the freaking question and look out for things like 'closest to' or "which statement is INCORRECT'. If you can't choose an answer cos you don't get the question, look for the odd one out
3) Check the first question - people always get it wrong!
4) Make writing smaller but not so small that your page of writing looks empty.
5) If an english question asks, which is most humorous, test each answer and conduct a little 'laugh' in your brain. IF any actually make you LOL then thats 1 mark in the bag :) Or else your sense of humour is just screwed up. Like mine is !
6) Check to see if any bubbles are misaligned like the 1st question in  our science yearly.
they are actually SHIFTY
7) Stretch neck and arms every half an hour.
GOOD LUCK EVERY BUDDY!

OH and i was reading crystal's blog, is it:
easy-peasy-jap-and-easy OR
easy-peasy-japan-easy.
I SWEAR IT IS JAPANESEY!! or have i been living under one of those misconceptions for 16 years? Like how I thought your bellybutton was sacred so i didnt touch it for 10 years. ..


i hate it when people say "LOL" and laugh at the same time. for goodness sakes i can hear and see you laughing out loud ==;

What would you do?

They say that one's pride is one's downfall. Sometimes, I don't think that's the case. I'm not sure if you would classify the following case as one's pride but just think about what you would do if it applied to you. The question is basically asking you, are you willing to give up your sanity for something you know is true? And are you willing to live the rest of your life knowing that to everyone, you were a criminal?

I was watching 60 minutes about a few months ago and I clearly remember this man who was accused of sexual assault on a few women around Western Australia. Imagine you are the 20 year old man. You have been sentenced to a minimum of 30 years imprisonment and after you have completed 15 years, your case may be reviewed. However, you are innocent.

It has now come to that stage where you have spent those 15 years of your life in jail. You have wasted 15 years of your life in prison. You've missed out on so much of life's adventures and experiences. The court offers a deal: you confess your guilt and you are free. If you proclaim your innocence, you're in for another 15 years minimum. But you know you are innocent. What would you do?
