I'm talking to Derryn about eating Snails - a conversation continued from last night - and although it's a French delicacy, I've eaten sea snails thanks to my dad - and i can dare say i really did not enjoy it. I'll probably be more willing to try frog legs, but still eurghhhh.
What one culture classifies as normal/a delicacy is obviously not universal. I was watching No Regrets and they were talking about eating dog meat as celebratory food @___@". This by the way, is in China. And I've heard about people eating dog meat in China too, but i don't think I can ever eat something that's a pet - apart from well, Fish.
Talking about all these plans I had hoped to have, mentioned, and now they're planned with others.
Post-first year uni :)
So. I'm wondering if there's a point of blogging anymore, but I guess I might as well.
so as of
18th Novermber 2010 I had officially finished my first year in BHS @ Usyd. How fast this year flew past and so much has happened. Honestly, I haven't really let everything that's happened in this year sink in yet and much of the year has already flown.
So on that very day, after (in my opinion) the
hardest HSBH exam I've ever done - probably because it was twisted with psychology, we bummed around uni for a bit - as Derryn and Daniel Sit had me convinced we were going Star City because Isabel of all people wanted to "buy" something there, and we were eating at pancakes.. Turns out the actual plan was Wagaya.So anyway, walked to broadway and met up with Tim, where they all watched Harry Potter and I waited for Victor.
Arrived at Wagaya at 7.15 (to be kicked out at 8) - though we stayed till 9 :) ate a lot and took a lot of photos and presented Derryn with part 1 of his birthday present :)
had chatime and went home, hoping to sleep early since i had to get up early. But my msn deprivation had stopped me from doing so otherwise
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

on another note, i LOVE jeansbeans. her doodles are so awesome. i'm deeply addicted :)
it's in my small and short breaks where i really wish things hadn't changed.
last night, i read a blog post that kept me staring for ages.. and reading over again.
despite the fact that i was supposed to be cramming for an exam..
but they have something that i really want/admire.. something that will probably lead me into believing I will achieve something that don't believe I WILL be able to - because I want to - and not just do it, or it so happens as a stage of life - some people will know what i'm talking about...
sometimes, I wish I was convinced that I would want it to happen, but yet, It's sort of just a 'want', it's still something that I still think that I will watch and admire happen to those around me, and yet, it just doesn't happen to me - at least the way I will want it to.
In life, we take too many things for granted.
i came across this in emma's blog.
it's so true :)
i suppose, it's reality, and what despite all those facebook " 100 ways to make a girl smile.. blah blah". this. is really what comes from the heart?
I don’t expect you to text me 24/7.
I don’t expect you to call me everyday.
I don’t expect you to ditch all your girl friends for me.
I don’t expect you to surprise me with roses.
I don’t expect you to always agree with what I say.
I don’t expect you to pay for everything.
I don’t expect you to go out of your way and buy all the things that I mention I wanted.
I don’t expect you to put me over your family.
I don’t expect you to brag about me to all your friends.
I don’t expect you to stop checking out other girls.
I don’t expect you to never mention a hot girl in front of me.
I don’t expect you to already know what I want.
I don’t expect you to never be mad at me.
I just expect you to know your boundaries,
to trust me,
to give me my space
to never take me for granted,
& to always be real with me.
