Today, I did the stupidest thing in the world! ): I dropped my Nokia 7260 while walking home in the dark along Belmont Terrace. I couldn't see what I was doing; rumaging through my bag for my keys.. I didn't realize that my phone was on the verge of falling out of the bag. AND SO.. it actually happened - fell straight onto the ground and sort of made a loud noise too. For the moment I thought my phone had smashed to pieces and was broken for sure.. but thankfully, it was still working.

UNFORTUNATELY, it's like so fugly now.. all scratched up and dented and the white casing is ruined with grey lines and dots and yuck yuck yuck.. this is making me so sad.

I'm such a bimbo.

Anyway, so I was ranting about my misfortune for the day.


Me: SARYEE! I'm so sad la. I accidentally dropped my phone today. And now it's all scratched up. So ugly!

Aunt: How come there's no cover to it?

Me: Because I stopped using the leather cover. It got annoying.

Me: *cries*

Me: It's all my fault!

Aunt: Buy you a new phone, okay?

Me: *cries*

Me: No la. It's okay.

Aunt: What phone would you like?


OMG LA. I think I'm damn spoilt or something! ):

But I am going to refuse my aunt's offer. Because, you know, I am 18. Therefore, I should learn to buy stuff with my own money and not depend on the doting adults in my life.

No wonder Jason is always tsk-ing and tut-ting me.

BLARGH!

Anyway, if you must know! I'm already eyeing the Nokia 7390. It's so pretty in pink! And not only that.. the camera is like 3MP and the specs are so awesome. I must have it.. somehow.

Only problem is the price. NZ$600. What a yucky price!

Oh boy, it sucks being poor.

It's so sad that the two-week Easter break has finally come to an end. I love lazy days and nothing-to-do-moments. To me.. that is ultimate peace and tranquility! (:

SOME 10 WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE LAST 14 DAYS

1. Rekindled my love for music from the 60s. Such as Dionne Warwick's Walk On By!

2. Completed all set tasks for the holidays including revision, research, assignments etc.

3. Dad bought me a black-hooded paddington coat! Made in Italy; cashmere & wool. $169!

4. Watched a ton of anime. I've completed Karin & Futakoi. Still in the middle of Deathnote and Yamato though. But oh, I love Usuki Kenta!

5. Did alot of shopping in Takapuna, Dressmart, Fox Outlet Center & Sylvia Park! Made some decent purhcases too.

6. Celebrated Mom's birthday!

7. Met up with an old classmate of mine from WGC, Kellie Barley, who came to visit. Haven't seen her since I left Wellington!

8. Discovered Facebook. I blame it on Farrah Isaac!

9. Was reunited with Lode Runner; an old-school game which I used to play for hours and hours in my primary school days!

10. Made a collage full of all the sticky photos I've taken with family and friends in the last 2 years. It's so pretty and pink!

Anyway! These holidays have been anything but boring.
Can't wait for the next batch of holidays (late June to mid July) because I might be heading to Melbourne for a week or so to visit friends and do some Aussie shopping.

Am feeling so very happy with myself today.

I love my life! (:

It seems to me, that in the last decade, a series of unfortunate events have been taking place rather specifically (either) on American soil (or) something to do with America.. as in the US of A. And as the leading power and anchor country, the USA has influenced the rest of the world in many many ways. It started out with the 911; followed by the Iraq war and now, Virginia Tech.
The consequences of such catastrophes are humongous, in my opinion. And we're all very much affected by it.

Looking back now, I can't help but feel upset at the thought of how so many innocent people have lost their lives or love ones in the process. It just seems so meaningless and so stupid.

However, I reckon it's even more devastating to note the aftermath. That these terrible things are turning the whole world upside down; tearing people apart; creating more conflict than ever before.

People hate the the suicide bombers.
People hate the leaders of the war.
People hate the mass murderer.

And people transform into vendettas as a result of this, bearing this bitter grudge and because they believe that they should do something in revenge to satisfy their hearts. Hence, they decide go out and do even more damage; thinking that their actions are justified.

It's almost like a war, don't you think?

People find a way to blame someone else for that bad something that has happened in their lives..

SO..

They blame religion. The Muslims; the Jews; the Christians.

They blame race. Hence, the racial riots in Sydney, UK etc

They blame the government. Refer to the list of assassinated presidents in the USA in the past.

We sterotype and group people according to their differences and blame them; discrimminate against them; fight them.. maybe even kill them.

And it's a never-ending story!

The injustice grows.
The discrimmination becomes more apparent than ever.
And the conflict deepens between people of different races, religions and political views.

That instead of trying to get through these trials and tribulations together, helping each other out and comforting each other.. we turn against each other and hurt each other.

At the end of the way, we're really no better than those who did those terrible things to us.

Our hearts are just way too violent.

Shana's already got her learners driver's licence.

While.. I, on the other hand, have nothing of that sort.

And to think that she's three years younger than me.

I am ashamed of myself.

1. I make faces at myself in front of the bathroom mirror just to see what I'd look like with a distorted face.

2. I like to play with Jason's leg hair. It annoys the hell out of him.

3. If you're meeting me for the first time, it'll take me more or less 5 minutes to decide whether or not I like you.

4. I have to chew most food at least 30 times before I swallow it.
