another day

well,today was just another day..plenty of homework and stress..tomorrow there's a chem SAC and then next week is really a scare.double physics...but for now let's look at the bright side of things..

at lunch, a bunch of us was just chatting when we got to the topic of names...what are your nicknames?-that was the question...Triya-sjane's fellow boarder is known as Tri Tri or Tri square...like in mathematics...she absolutely despises the nickname tho..hehehe

then another girl called Sherry...well she didn't have a nickname but one of the teacher's still tease her whenever they meet in school...she'd say, "hey sherry!how are you?how's your friend Brandy?" hehehe..it was so funny...the funnier thing is that...we were laughing about it and commenting on the teacher's lameness when atleast 2-3 minutes later,(i'm serious..) Carla who was listeing to us the whole time suddenly said "OH!!!now i get it!"..then there was a silent pause and everyone suddenly burst into peals of laughter!

then there was another girl in school called Wei Wei.Her friends call her wei times 2. then we start arguing that it should be wei square as well cause it wasn't MATHEMATICALLY correct...hehhehe..then suddenly we figured we should call her open-bracket-Wei-close-bracket-square....cause that is DEFINITELY mathematically correct...=p

during english today, we watched an interview between a tv personel and Tim Winton(a famous Western Australian writer and the author of our literature book-Minimum of two)...he mentioned one of his life changing experiences in life...this was roughly what he said...

"When i was younger i was sheltered, loved and protected from all the sufferings in reality...however, without my parents knowing, i use to stay up during the night and listen to my father and mother discuss issues and just gossip through my bedroom wall...You don't want to know how much i got to know my friends' parents!(laughs) then one night when my dad came home, he said he'd return from a fatality.He didn't tell me and my siblings what he meant but as a child, of course i was curious! so when my parents THOUGHT they'd tucked me in and went to their room i puckered up my ears not knowing what was in stall for me..

my father told my mum of one of the residents living in their town- a teenage boy- who just got his new car and he was just showing off his brand new attraction to the chicks.he decided to take a short cut through the woods and decided to drive out to the main road where he was knocked head on by a truck..My father who happened to be on his way home, immediately came out to help when he witnessed the terrible accident. before the boy could be taken to the hospital, he died in my father's arms..

It was since then that i realised how much suffering and pain existed out there.All the incidents i heard my parents talk about-father's flogging their kids,their mum's too dumbstruck and frightened to report or tell anyone...i grew interested in learning about life and i only told my parents about listening to them when i was older...my dad then revealed that he felt it was his duty to protect his family from all this by not exposing me and my siblings to such tragedies."

It's so sad right????yet so inspiring and educational...Well...his book-the one we are reading now- is actually really really good!!it's just misunderstood cause it's hard to understand when you read it the first time...it has hidden humour and unbelievable substance in such short short stories...HOWEVER, people who are suicidal and depressed should NOT read it ..i repeat...should NOT read it..lots of the stories kinda revolve around sad themes.But it is definitely a Grade A book...

Going for choir practice at Deepdene church tonight for Easter mass...looking forward to it...so i gotta sign off now...Hope u all had a great day!!
