things are definitely gettin better around here.
i've got my internet connection now, and on fri night, i earned my first buck while babysitting this kid of my dad's colleague.
jamie and i went together.babysat for abt 3 hrs, then spent 1hr watchin telly after he fell asleep.his mum paid us both 15bucks each, which was like whoa to us. coz imagine us not havin any pocket money or part time income. so ytd was really thrilling for us.jamie suggested we put our money together and get mum something. i think it's a brilliant idea. except i dunno how to get to the malls. transport is not so convenient around here.
suki is turning 10wks old on tues. his appetite is growing and so is his size. but anyway,have to start teacing him manners soon. he likes to play chasing, which drives the family nuts, coz we cant exactly pounce on him in case we crush him.
had a gathering ytd aftnn for with our neighbours. mum made a huge production out of everything - fat sausages, roasted chicken wings, salad, chips, potato wedges, smiley faces. but yea, we had good fun. i got to know Hannah,went over to her hse after the party and talked to her for abit. she graduated from burnside five yrs ago. it's pretty cool talkin to someone so into music and art. she does pencil sketching and sells them. im so inspired. now im even more sure i want to start drawing managa characters. i tried abit, and joyce says they're good. but you know kids. everything is good to them.
so anw,tmr is xmas. hmm. dont really feel anything. i mean,i know the true meaning of xmas and everything (i just came back from church), but still, shldnt we celebrate the birth of jesus everyday instead of just on xmas? so you'll probably understand why im not unusually hyped abt tmr, apart from giving joyce and dad their surprise gifts.
how many ppl actually love xmas becoz it's the day that marks the birth of jesus? some christians probably get that buzzy, loving feeling whenever it's xmas. but it only comes once a yr. so that makes it pointless. i'd rather feel the value of Christ the whole yr round, and treat xmas like any other day, than go through the yr feeling spiritually drained and then jump up and yell Hallelujah only when it's xmas.
hmm. i dont know. anyone can challenge my p.o.v? seems abit wrong to me, but i cant exactly put a finger on it...
so, yfers, did you guys have fun UBing? i heard abt the papaya game. sounds messy. but im sure everyone had a good time. the UB buzz will probably last a mth after it's over, but i hope the bond you guys have forged will remain for a long time. especially coco, i hope you've found some good frens who you can trust and confide in(:
SIXERS!!i didnt hear a single thing from those who went to china.hmm.does graduation equate to seperation?i guess so.i mean,no matter how bonded a class is,after we graduate,it's only possible to keep in touch with a small circle of frens. so im thankful i still have my Corner Friends.yes,TP,you and the other five.
blessed xmas everybody(:
