*plays some awesome dramatic music*

I, Andrew, have finally turned 18~! so bring on all the hard liqueur and  hard core porn!!!

no, i’m kidding, i’m not like that, even if i’m 18.

What can I say, 18 years have passed, just like that. Through out the 18 years, there were tears, laughter, and a whole lot of other emotions which i can’t put a word to (yea man, i’m ESL, live with it).  Yes, i’ve changed dramatically through out the years, for good or bad? who knows.

Appearance wise, I’ve changed from a nerdy looking chubby kid, to a nerdy looking chubby kid with long dyed hair.

Knowledge wise, I’ve changed from thinking babies fall from the sky to knowing a lot more than I should.

Name wise, I’ve changed from Ruoyu to Andrew to An-Da-ru to Andu, and somewhere in there fits Darkprawn and Darkshrimp.

Relationship wise, I’ve made so much new friends whom will stay with me for ever and ever.

Something happened that I remember clearly to make me realize I’ve changed is when I met this primary school friend from china, whom I haven’t seen for 6 years. The first thing she said, when she realised i am one of her old class mate was:”你不是很老实吗?”

Looking back on the 18 years of my life (of which 6 years spent sleeping). What have I accomplished? Truthfully? Nothing much haha. But hey, I’m not a super hardworking genius, so I guess there’s nothing much I can accomplish…

I was born a baby with a lot of sicknesses, not because I’m a mutant, but somehow I get sick really easily when I was young. So medicine and needles were like second nature to me. (well, maybe that often, but yea)

At age of 3, started to go to pri-primary, and I can remember clearly, I was such a bright and good kid I was always top of the class for most things, and the teachers loved me! *well i don’t remember this, but I heard from my parents* haha. That three years of my life was great, a little kid without troubles or worries, go to this place everyday where you don’t learn much and all you do is play, sleep and get fed.

At the age of 6.5, I started primary school, I was suppose to go to this school for 1 year before primary, but my parents thought it was a waste of time, and shoved me into a class of 80+ people whom all older than me by one year. It was quite weird, as all my pri-primary friends went to this other school together, and I was alone in a strange place. I stil remember my first day of primary school clearly, it was my mum sending me to school early in the morning, and before going into the class, she asked me repeatly if I wanted to go to the toilet haha.

6 Years of primary school was great too, had heaps of friends, most of which i still keep in contact with now.

And by year 5, I realised i need to move to a place that doesn’t speak chinese…Australia.

That is an adventure, going to a place, speaking a whole new language, something I never thought about in my life at all. Before I know it, I was going to an all English school not even knowing the alphabet… (It was bentley primary). Many people have asked me, how did i survive, how could I do such thing? Truthfully? I have no idea, I guess the environment just forced me to learn the language and the culture. (and i remember there was this guy, who also came from China, whom help me quite a bit).

Time passes, primary school goes on. And again, before I know it, I was apart of the aussie culture, apart of this community.

School life goes on, the 5 years at rossmoyne was the best years of school life i’ve spent in Australia.

Another flash, and i’m sitting in the lecture room of University of Western Australia. Time does go fast, when your having fun. *i just skiped a whole bit, as I thought it’s quite boring, and i shouldn’t be ranting on about my life story on my birthday*

18 whole years. I don’t know what to think, all of these things have happened, in such a short (long?) time. When I finally reach this stage, crossed the line from teenager to adulthood. Should I feel any different? Should I act any different? well, do I feel any different? no I don’t. I just feel like the same old me, with a lot of alcohol in my stomach that’s all. haha.

The celebration for my birthday start on Friday(28th of April) night. It was at irene’s place It wasn’t anything big, irene kinda called a few of us over, and just chilled out for the night, with a cake hehe.

On Sunday Night, went to the CS committee party, and when they found out it was my birthday in a few hours, all the guys started buying me drinks in effort to get me drunk. Since I’m a good boy, I’ve never drink much before, most I’ve had in my life before last night was two shots of barleys…and compare to last night, that’s just water.. >.< But I guess it was fun to experience such feeling, well, last night was fun, the day after is quite bad

And today, went to uni, where I was flooded with happy birthdays and songs. Great to see there’s people who remember great feeling.

On This great day, I would like to thank a few people.

Firstly, to my parents. For bringing me to this interesting world, for taking care of me, and for being the best parents I’ve ever had, honest! (well, the only parents I’ve ever had, but I’m sure I won’t find anyone better)

Thanks to Ken for buying me the cake, and having it at irene’s place

Thanks to Irene for cooking me roti prata! It’s thoughtful of you to catch the time when I told you I loved that thing. I guess you do actually listen to me, that’s good

Thanks to Shan for buying me that awesome t-shirt, I love it!

Thanks to Liyin and Lisan for buying me my first drink (Squashed frog), which started the whole getting me drunk thing, but hey thanks.

Thanks to Liyin for singing me that funky Happy Birthday Song which I’ve never heard of.

Thanks to Dee for making me such an awesome present, and sending it over! too bad it was 2 days too early, but it’s all good. It’s greatly appreciated to see that someone actually spent time on me

Thanks to Andy, Kevin, Jesse, Chung and James for buying me all the funky drinks which made my night fun, but nxt day horrible, but hey.
Thanks to Peanut, Julie and Elizabeth for buying me that awesome girly bracelet.

Thanks to Frank for giving me that awesome Olympics Pen!

And Thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday, it all mean heaps to me! thanks all!

Right now, I need to go check out the casino

I’m no longer a boy, becoming a man that I want to be.

This Chinese poem i learnt, dunno why I like it, but prob because of the fact that i can memorise it

无言独上西楼.

月如钩, 寂寞梧桐深院锁清秋.

剪不断, 理还乱,  是离愁.

别是一番滋味在心头.

What do you do? When you have the Jellyfish, em3, em4, math1010, etc due in the next few days, what do you do?

you…

Spit a whole mouth full of water onto a stranger two rows in front of you

*damn i wish i had photos*

This new single of SHE was released yesterday (16/04/2007) and the full album with the same name (I think…) will be released on may 11 2007. I can’t wait

倫敦瑪莉蓮　買了件旗袍送媽媽
莫斯科的夫司基　愛上牛肉麵疙瘩
各種顏色的皮膚　各種顏色的頭髮
嘴裡唸的說的開始流行中國話

多少年我們苦練英文發音和文法
這幾年換他們捲著舌頭學平上去入的變化
平平仄仄平平仄　 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
好聰明的中國人　好優美的中國話

扁擔寬　板凳長
扁擔想綁在板凳上
板凳不讓扁擔綁在板凳上
扁擔偏要綁在板凳上
板凳偏偏不讓扁擔綁在那板凳上
到底扁擔寬還是板凳長

哥哥弟弟坡前坐
坡上臥著一隻鵝
坡下流著一條河
哥哥說　寬寬的河
弟弟說　白白的鵝
鵝要過河　河要渡鵝
不知是那鵝過河
還是河渡鵝

全世界都在學中國話
孔夫子的話　越來越國際化
全世界都在講中國話
我們說的話　讓世界都認真聽話

紐約蘇珊娜　開了間禪風Lounge Bar
柏林來的沃夫岡　拿胡琴配著電吉他
各種顏色的皮膚　各種顏色的頭髮
嘴裡唸的說的開始流行中國話

有個小孩叫小杜
上街打醋又買布
買了布　打了醋
回頭看見鷹抓兔
放下布　擱下醋
上前去追鷹和兔
飛了鷹　跑了兔
灑了醋　濕了布

嘴說腿　腿說嘴
嘴說腿　愛跑腿
腿說嘴　愛賣嘴
光動嘴　不動腿
光動腿　不動嘴
不如不長腿和嘴
到底是那嘴說腿　還是腿說嘴

Thanks

At this time and age, this is all we talk about.

“Is she hot?”

“Do you like her?”

“His so bloody hot”

“what did you think of him?”

these are the lines we use millions of times a day. It’s nearly as common as Hello and goodbye, sometimes even more.

Before a normal conversation went like this..

Person A: Hello
Person B: How you doing on this fine morning
Person A: oh, just appreciating the sun light
Person B: I like that, well I have to run
Person A: Alright, good day to you
Person B: Good day to you too

But now, it goes something like this…

Person A: Did you see her?
Person B: who
Person A: that girl that just went past
Person B: Was she hot?
Person A: oh well you know
Person B: you gonna go for her?
Person A: er..nah
Person B: meh.

see….what has the world comming to?

Few days ago, on the bus back home, sitting beside me, was this two separate couple. One was aged early twenty girl friends, and second was just this girl and a guy whos also in their early twenties, and both of them were talking about relationships. What are the odds of dat

Anyway, this is what our life is all about now. But then again, maybe a girl doesn’t always need a guy, but a guy will always need a girl *a wise friend (a girl) told me that * unless their gay.

well, peace

To like is to disappoint, to disappoint is to hurt. For not to hurt, thy shall not to like….

My own life philosophy… how do you like it?

All great words come with experience, and what I’ve experienced is sufficient for me to say such lines.

haha, all sounds so grey but it sounds mysterious and cool doesn’t it

人生的道路是不好走的. 人们往往撞到墙, 这导致还没有撞到墙的我afraid to move the next step, the little voice inside me keep asking what if 我也撞到同一座墙. But one shouldn’t be afraid of what’s ahead of them, 因为每一座墙都会给你带来很多无价的经验.

我们应该怎么办? 站在原地不懂, 呆呆的看着自己的同伴一次一次的撞墙, 然后又一次又一次的站起来, 还是拉着他们的手,一起走下这个刺激的人生道路. … What ever your choice on life is, it will definitely get you to the end, doesn’t matter if your end is the same place as your start, or it’s on the other side of the world. *metaphorically* 不管怎样, 好好过,向前看, 永远不要回头再看那座墙,也不要让别人的意外把你吓倒.

so, although “To like is to disappoint to disappoint is to hurt”, to hurt is to experience, to experience is to like better, and to like better is to live happier. For happier life, thy must like.

但如果你的那座墙一直不离开, you can just tell it to F off…

You wonder don’t you…well here’s why:

There are some truth in that.

每个人都说过, 现实是, 我们不能做这个,那个. 但任何事都可以成为现实. 因为我们是现实的创造者.

Create Reality, instead of it creating you.
