11月6日 Just some thoughtsIf that's the way things have to be, then that's the way it will be.
I have done all that I can. I have given all that I have.
What more can I do if you choose to ignore me; if you choose to look away; if you choose to shut me out.
If you turned around and said things shouldn't be this way, let's try again; I would take that opportunity in an instant and rebuild things with you.
Nevertheless, I know you. You have too much pride, which people sometimes mistaken for arrogance; at times unsympathetic, which people sometimes mistaken for indifference. You will not bow down. You are uncompromising and unyielding.
I admire you for standing up for what you believe in and what you accept as true, however you have to understand that every so often your views are not always centre stage; only a sideline act in other people's world.
We are only human. We can't always be right. We aren't perfect. We aren't built that way. We're suppose to make mistakes. We're suppose to be wrong. That's how we learn.
I thought we could rise above this because we were both strong and wanted it as much as each other. But we couldn't. Not because I didn't want it. Not because I didn't try. But because you didn't.
Have you forgotten everything that we had? Have you forgotten everything that we've been through? Was I that insignificant to you that you would want to throw it away? I assume so, seeing as you have so unhesitatingly thrown me away.
If you didn't want to build this bridge to get over the problem, then you should have voiced that.
You should have stood your ground and said no to save us from this situation.
Instead you've become cold, distant and detached as we try to contruct it.
How can I keep building on something that has already disintegrated?
And you know what? I won't. I won't stand by and put in everything that I have and feel while you watch with lack of concern and a touch of scorn. I just won't. You made that choice for me.
I won't let myself persist at something that is utterly impossible to accomplish without your involvement.
I won't because its not fair.
11月1日 Wednesday, 1st November------I'm tired; tired from life in general------
------Why do things have to get complicated as we get older? Why can't things stay simple?------
------The pressure to make the right choices and decisions is so immense, intense; its a sentiment we'll be carrying with us for the rest of our lives, so get use to it------
------Insecurities which I thought I had triumphed over have again inundated my every being; I guess I never really conquered them------
------My confidence exhausted; running on empty------
------There is nothing left to give------
------I am tired------
------Leave me alone; let me be------ 10月31日 Back in the good ol' days of high schoolOMG...I was looking through my memory box (you know, the ones that girls keep all their letters and sentimental stuff in?) the other day and felt so fugging emotional! haha, but yea just reading the letters and cards I got from friends made me really appreciate my friends a lot more.
So I just wanted to let my friends know that I LOVE YOU, ADORE YOU and really appreciate your friendship. Words cannot express how must of a difference EACH and EVERY one of you have made to my life. You have been there for me through the tough and sad times, but also for the fun happy times. You guys have been amazing in every single way. You've made me the person that I am today. Thank you for being there; for being my friend; for accepting me the way I am (gayness and all). THANK YOU. Thank you. I hope you guys already knew how much I love you, just thought that I should just tell you just in case you didn't. Its always nice to know that you're loved.
Anyway, as I was browsing I found pages and pages of little quotes that I found funny/corny/cute/sweet when I was in high school! Hehe, I must admit some of them are bit .... hmmm...cringeworthy, AND I HATE corny and soppy stuff, but these are...hmm..sweet...well some of them anyways! ENJOY
"Each time I miss you, a star falls down from the sky. So, if you look up at the sky and found it dark with no stars, its all your fault! You made me miss you too much!"
"Last night I matched each star with a reason for loving you. I was doing great until I ran out of stars!"
"Guys are like stars; there are a million of them, but only one can make your dreams come true" HAHA how CORNY!!!
"I should tell you how I really feel, but I'm afraid of what you might say..."
"One night the moon said to me,'If he makes you cry, why don't you leave him?'. I looked at the moon and said, 'Moon, would you ever leave the sky?'
"Letting go of someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't feel the same is much harder. Giving up doesn't mean you're weak. It only means that you are strong enough to let go."
"A break up is like a broken mirror. It is better to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it."
"The most horrible thing that can happen to you in life is to be without love...toilet paper comes a close second!!!"
"One day you'll love me, the way I loved you. One day you'll think of me, the way I thought of you. One day you'll cry for me, they way I cried for you. One day you'll want me, but I won't want you."
"The worst thing a guy can do is let a girl fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall."
"The hardest thing to do is watch someone you love, love someone else"
"You said you didn't want to see me get hurt, so does that mean you closed your eyes when I cried?"
"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, I'd have the entire night sky in the palm of my hands."
"I must be wishing on the wrong star, because someone else is always getting what I want."
"I smiled to many people for more than a billion times; but when I first saw you, my heart took over and smiled for the first time."
"'Where's home for you?' a stranger asked a fellow traveller. 'Wherever she is' came the reply as the man pointed at his wife."
"Who says time heals?! You don't get OVER the pain, you just learn to get ALONG with the pain in time"
"I was finally getting over you and actually believing that I didn't need you. I was finally accepting you had another girl. Then you smiled at me and ruined it all!!!"
"Come live in my heart, and pay no rent"
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could, I'd build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow, fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there
And a love that will never disappear.

'Cause you give me something That makes me scared, alright, This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try, Please give me something 'Cause someday I might know my heart.
You already waited up for hours Just to spend a little time alone with me, And I can say I've never bought you flowers I can't work out what the mean, I never thought that I'd love someone, That was someone else's dream.
'Cause you give me something That makes me scared, alright, This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try, Please give me something, 'Cause someday I might call you from my heart, But it might me a second too late, And the words I could never say Gonna come out anyway.

10月22日 Bowling picshmmm...didn't bring my camera to our Bowling, Beer and Burger night, so I missed out on taking some photos for myself! BUT, thank God for Smelly Melly and her camera...SO here are the pics that I stole from her!
I'll probably steal some more off Charlene too! 10月6日 Rules men wished women knewHAHAHA...how funny :P 1. If you think you might be fat, you are. Don't ask us. Just get your fat arse in a gym. 10月1日 kids....pffft...so blardy funny1. A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat, but it was dead. 'How do you know that the cat was dead?' she asked her pupil. 'Because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move,'answered the child innocently. 'You did WHAT???' the teacher exclaimed in surprise. 'You know,' explained the boy, 'I leaned over and went 'Pssst!' and it didn't move.'
2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minuteslater..... 'Daad....' 'What?' 'I'm thirsty. Can you bring drink of water?' 'No, You had your chance. Lights out.' Five minutes later; 'Da-aaaad.....' 'WHAT?' 'I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??' I told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!' Five minutes later......'Daaaa-aaaad.....' 'WHAT!' 'When you come in to spank me,can you bring a drink of water?'
3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?' The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!''
4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, 'Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?' The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. 'I can't dear,' she said. 'I have to sleep in Daddy's room.' A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice; 'The big sissy.'
5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, 'That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?' The little girl replied, directly into the pastor's clip-on microphone, 'Yes, and my Mom says it's a b-tch to iron.'
6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, 'Mommy, you are getting fat!' I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy.' 'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your butt?'
7. FOR MY TEACHER FRIENDS.... A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, 'Two plus five, that son of a is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine....' His mother heard what he was saying and gasped,'What are you doing?' The little boy answered, 'I'm doing my math homework, Mom.' 'And is this how your teacher taught you to do it?' the mother asked. 'Yes,' he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, 'What are you teaching my son in math?' The teacher replied, 'Right now, we are learning addition.' The mother asked, 'And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?' After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, 'What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.'
8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, '..... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!' The teacher paused then asked the class, 'And what do you think that farmer said?' One little girl raised her hand and said, 'I think he said; 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'' The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, 'I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter.' Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, 'I'm Jane Sugarbrown.' The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School and said, 'Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?' She replied, 'I thought I was, but mother says I'm not.'
10. A little girl asked her mother, 'Can I go outside and play with the boys?' Her mother replied, 'No,you can't play with the boys, they're too rough.' The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, 'If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?'
11. A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair eating a snack cake while her dad gets his hair cut. The barber says to her, 'Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your Twinkie.' She says, 'Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too.'
Blardy kids...Kids say the DARNDEST things....topic: MARRIAGE
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? "You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming." "No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with." WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED? "Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER!!! by then." "No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married." HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? "You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? "Both don't want any more kids." WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? "Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough". "On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR? "I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns". WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? "When they're rich". "The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that." "The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do". IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? "It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them". HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?" "There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?" HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? "Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck."
Kids' views and thoughts Never trust a dog to watch your food.

Here I go out to sea again The sunshine fills my hair And dreams hang in the air Gulls in the sky and in my green eyes You know it feels unfair There's magic everywhere Look at me standing Here on my own again Up straight in the sunshine No need to run and hide It's a wonderful, wonderful life No need to lie and cry It's a wonderful, wonderful life Sun in your eyes The heat is in your hair They seem to hate you Because you're there And I need a friend Oh, I need a friend To make me happy Not stand here on my own Look at me standing Here on my own again Up straight in the sunshine No need to run and hide It's a wonderful, wonderful life No need to lie and cry It's a wonderful, wonderful life No need to run and hide it's a wonderful, wonderful life No need to lie and cry it's a wonderful, wonderful life 9月17日 hmmmmmm.....Aiz...so much has been going through my mind lately. So much so that I think my brain is going to explode any minute!
I am one of those people who analyse a situation obsessively in fine detail. I pick at it; I pull apart the situation; I go through all the 'What ifs'; I even pick at the different scenarios, as in, how will it all play out. I think I analyse things way too much. I can sit there and just stew. The hours will fly by, and I will STILL be there thinking about it. I THINK TOO MUCH...I think I waste too much of my time thinking about things instead of taking action. HAHA...the funny thing is, sometimes after ALL that thinking and analysing, I end up following my heart; following what I think feels right inside. I told you my thinking wastes a lot of time. HAHA!
I guess with this situation, I think I'm at a stage where I'm gonna say FUCK it. Just go for it. Just 'follow your heart'. (my gawd...how terribly cliche'd!) Just go with whatever makes you happy. But there are SOO many consequences. My 'fuck it' action would probably bring about some friendship casualties. If I go ahead with it, I'll hurt people; and I don't want to. Whatever action that I may take will mean that I lose. I am in a lose-lose situation. Either way, I am the loser. I bear the result.
I dunno, I guess I was just hoping that with any sort of friendship, there would be an endless supply of support. Where I am right now, I want to be able to be happy and let other people know I'm happy. But I can't. I have to suppress that feeling to accomodate others.
To make them happy, I can't be happy. 9月15日 Friday 15th SeptemberGod...I'm feeling so fugged up right now. Actually not even just right now; more like LATELY.
This whole thing with Sou is kinda scaring me abit. In a way I can feel myself being drawn back into her again, but I know that I shouldn't. Honestly it felt like old times when we have been talking. But I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it because nobody understands. Nobody.
People do listen when I talk about it, but from the sounds of things, I know they don't understand; don't want to and don't feel like it. Its all 'wutever you say, Tina. Wutever you say.' I hate it when people do that. Don't criticise me about it. Don't make judgements on me. It doesn't make me less of a person for feeling this way; it doesn't make me less of a person for being in this situation. Don't sit there and listen but already have a view or judgement already in your head then tell me that I'm wrong instead of helping me. I talk to you about the situation because I need a caring ear; not a judgemental one that looks down on me critically.
Be a friend. Be there for me. Just listen. Don't judge me. That's all I ask. Is that too much? 9月7日 Why is life so complicated? WHY!!!As you can tell, I am sooo consistent with my entries for my blog...hahaha...every few months eh? :)
Hmmm....*sigh*....its been quite weird and, at times, confusing lately. A lot of shit has been happening that I would not have thought possible. People are re-entering or are entering my life that I probably would not choose to associate with. I don't know WHY this is all happening in one go. I feel like its one big ass test that God wants me to complete.
For example, one person that has entered into my life again is Sou (or should i say Jorden haha). We had been childhood friends who had a FUCKING huge falling out during year 11 and hadn't spoken to each other for quite some time. To say the least, it has been 5 years. It was strange. I can still remember the night that she smsed me and asked to catch up. I couldn't comprehend the fact that here was my former best friend asking to catch up. Honestly, I thought wow, didn't see this coming! Then from that moment on, we talked and the first conversation felt so...so much like old times; before the falling out; before she went out with Lawson. It was awesome having that happy feeling again, but deep down inside, I felt like I had to be careful; I had to be cautious.
What I felt inside was just pure confusion. Why was she ringing? Why did she want to make contact now after all this time? Does she even remember what the falling out was about? I had so many questions and doubts running through my head. I didn't want to get hurt again.
I remember our friendship so clearly like it was yesterday. Sure we had our good times and our happy memories of being so spastically moronic, but what I also remember most were the times when I felt like our friendship meant nothing to her. I remember all the times when I was put down; criticised and just...plain neglected. I recall the misery; and I often thought why I would put up with shit like this, why was I just taking it. And the answer I think was that I didn't want to hurt her. How ridiculous is that? Here she was putting me through misery and pain and I was not doing anything back to her because I didn't want to 'hurt' her. FUG...
Then there was the falling out and I am sure it will be something that will still be a great source of disagreement for us both. Looking back, I felt so abandoned; so much pain. I felt like she had turned her back. There was no remorse. Nothing. She had no feelings towards the situation. The pain and anguish of that time is still raw. I am not a forgiving person, nor am I one to forget when someone has hurt me so. I know that it is not a trait/characteristic that I should be proud of, but I will not apologise for it. I will not apologize for protecting myself. Which has brought me to my current predicament. Sure we talk and I am, in a way, helping her get over her break up, but I can't bring myself to forgive and forget. If we ever got to a stage that saw our friendship blossom, I don't think in my heart that I will be able to let her get close enough. I'd be too scared: not of what people thought, but of the anguish and heart-wrenching pain that I would feel if we had another falling out and for me to lose a friendship that I have invested so emotionally to. Sure, you might all think that its ONLY a friendship. How can you be so devastated over that? You'll get over it! To tell you the truth, I don't know. Maybe I'm too trusting of my friends; place too much of my 'eggs' into the friendship; or maybe because I think that friendship is one of the most important things in my life.
I got through the whole situation with Sou with the help of my friends: Charlene, Lee-ean and Darren. I relied so much on them that sometimes I felt like such a burden for them. But they never complained. They didn't utter a word. Not once did they tell me to just 'get over it'. They shouldered everything that I put on them. For that I am forever grateful. I am the person that I am now because of their friendship. I hope they know how much they mean to me, each and everyone of them. I look back and I think, wow, they all played such a big part. Lee-ean and her family helping me get the money to pay back my parents; Charlene and her crazy gay humour that made me laugh so much and so hard; and Darren and his wonderfully caring nature.
A lot of people have been asking me why I have so easily allowed Sou back into my life; to just talk to her as though nothing has happened. Let me tell you, I am helping her with her break-up with Lawson, something I don't think you should ever go through alone no matter who the person is. I am being cautious. If she were to ever become a proper part of my life again, it would take a lot for that to happen. I don't mean that out of disrespect to her; it just means that I now have a stronger barrier in which that person needs to climb over to get my respect and loyalty. Sounds silly huh? But like I said before, if I don't protect myself from hurt, then who will? Who will care enough to not hurt you?
We talked and I found out that Lawson and her had broken up. Their 6-7 year relationship was gone. Sometimes I wonder whether she has only contacted me again because she's broken up with him and she just needs someone to be there. The thing is, no matter how much I don't want that to be the case, I think it is.
That's one thing that has been on my mind lately, but there has also been something else. Something I know is not gonna make a lot of people happy and its not just people people; its my close friends. I was talking to someone I probably shouldn't have been. Someone my close friends are against. Its been weighing on mind quite a bit. I don't want to not do something because someone's told me not to. I want to find out for myself. On the otherhand, I know that my friends would only be warning me because they care. The thing is, the more I found out about this person, the more I grew to like him as a person. He seems like a genuine person. He's nothing like the current perceptions of him, something that I held before I knew him haha. The thing is, my friends have that current perception of him and believe it with so much conviction that I would believe it if I didn't know the truth myself.
Aiz...there's too much shit going on lately. I don't know why everything is all happening at the one time. Its weird huh? Aiz...well that's life for you; full of mystery; full of misery and full of SHIT :) hahaha
8月9日 busy busy busy...Sheesh its been a while since i've written here...:) aiz...well i've been a busy little bumblebee as usual (HAHA...being a nerd).
Our Accounting Association held its first event for Semester two last week and boy was it a hell of a week.
I think it was the busiest week i've ever had. You should take a peek at my diary for that week. HAHA...Charlene and I looked at my diary and we looked at each other and laughed hysterically. Hmmm....that was not a pretty sight let me tell you! I feel sorry for the people who had to deal with our sudden bursts of hysterical and at times manic laughter, coupled with tears of frustration (or was that from the laughter? hmmm) Our union office is set between two tutorial rooms and poor Annie is always having to deal with complaints about people in the office being too loud (hmmm...that's not us! I swear!). HAHAHA! We try to keep quiet, but then I dunno, for some reason, we always seem to crack each other up and spur each other on to laugh louder. Aiz, its no good i tell you!
Anyways (I got a bit sidetracked there, didn't I?) last week Charlene and I were manically organizing the Vacation Employment Fair. It was so tough! I thought that it would be much easier and less stressful than the Graduate Employment Fair, as this is our second major event, but NO, it was so GODDAMN frigging crazy! Basically, Charlene and I were up to our necks in CRAP!!! But then, I guess it was quite crazy this time round because we also had to deal with Open Day which was also on in the same week.
Our committee members let us down once again. We had no help at all. We did the promotional work, we confirmed via email with the employers who would be coming down, we organised and booked the room in which it would be held in, we organised the catering and drinks, we got quotes for the promotional products then did a deal with the owner, we banked money, we had to CHASE up the Department of Accounting and Finance AND the Faculty of Business and Economics for their sponsorship money that they had promised to us AT THE BEGINNING of the blardy year (wahhh...that was a mouthful), we had to send out emails to members to let them know about the event, we also designed a certificate of appreciation for Krispy Kreme for helping us out with Jeans for Genes Day, we updated the membership list, we had meetings with our academic adviser....damnit....we did everything.><
On the day that the Vacation Employment Fair was on, Charlene and I were pretty much GO GO GO from the time we woke up. We were the first ones at Uni to setup the room. I missed our auditing tutorial that day because I knew that if Charlene and I left it to the other committee members to setup the room, it would be a total disaster. In the end, 6 of our committee members (including Charlene and I) set up the room for the employers and for morning tea. We also had Chris from ICAA attending and I think I was the most nervous about him. From the moment we had any contact with him, he had a standoffish and snobby manner about him. We had only JUST started the association mind you, yet he was so critical, so...harsh...so in-your-face. But I think as time went on, he started to SLOWLY warm up to us, however, I was still really nervous about him. Would he judge us harshly this time round?
The Vacation Employment Fair went off without a hitch. All the employers and recruiters attended and they were ALL really really nice. We also had a large number of students attending this time, but I think we could have gotten more people to attend, HAD we started promoting the event earlier, but OH wellz. See that was FINE...the event went well....that was fine....but THEN....HERE comes the 'OMG I think i'm gonna have a breakdown and kill someone' part; when the employers left at 1pm when the event finished, guess who else left? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR ALREADY LIMITED COMMITTEE MEMBERS...yup...that's right folks. DO you know what their excuse was???
'I have a lecture/tutorial on now'
'I have to go to work'
'I have to...BLAH BLAH BLAH'
Yea well I had a tutorial too, but i missed it. Its not like we're asking them to skip class EVERY single time AND I don't exactly see them attending ALL their classes anyway.
So, it was Charlene and I who would NOT only be the first to arrive to setup the room, but we would ALSO be the LAST to leave to clean up the room. When EVERYONE and I mean...EVERYONE left the room...it was just Charlene and I. We just looked at each other and sat down. I just looked around at the mess...and I swear I just wanted to cry...AND laugh...not the 'haha funny' laugh... but the 'OMG I'm going crazy' laugh. We had to move the tables (man...there were soooo many tables it wasnt funny) and two big MASSIVE HEAVY meeting tables back to their original spot, we had to throw away cups, napkins etc and we had to return the hot water urn to the staff room AND get all the cups, saucers, plates and spoons WASHED, DRIED then returned to the room. Man that SOUNDS easy, but it wasn't. There were heaps of cups and crockery so we had to load them up on a trolley and WHEEL IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUGGING UNI!!!!! I swear it took us forever to clean that room. We ended up putting the cups and crockery into the dishwasher and had a meeting with our academic advisor, Martin.
He is awesome. He has helped us in so many ways its not funny. He asked about the event etc. Then he asked about how our grad job hunting was going for next year. Charlene's working part time at the moment at an accounting firm in Dandenong, but she's not exactly loving it. And I haven't even got one lined up yet. So Martin suggested that we consider doing Honours. HAHA...how funny...Honours in Accounting. He started to get really excited about it when he was telling us in detail what it would entail. Then he introduced us to the Honours Supervisor and told him that we would be doing it next year. HAHAHA blardy hell, we haven't even decided and its not even set in concrete yet! So now when ever we bump into him and he's with someone, he tells them that we're gonna stay at uni next year and do Honours WHILST looking after MASA! BLARDY, I reckon he just wants us to stay so that the association will still be up and running. NAH...honestly I think he wants the best for us, I can tell in the way that he talks to us. He really cares which is why I'm seriously deliberating over whether to do Honours next year. Aiz...it would also mean teaching first year accounting students though. HAHA...can you see me as a tutor? cos I can't! HAHAHA...wut if they ask me a question and I dunno how to answer it? HAHAHA...aiz...it'll be so funny!
Anyways, after that meeting and after we dried off the just washed cups and crockery, we had to trolley it back to the other side of the Uni where the event was held to put them all back. Then we locked up the buffet table, packed all tea, coffee and biscuits and collateral that the employers had left us and went upstairs to the MUBS office. I got on the net to write all the employers a thank you email for their attendance. When I logged onto MASA's email account, we had an email from Chris from ICAA. He had written to thank us for inviting him down and to say that he thought we did a great job AND that it was very professional!!!!
In that instance that Charlene and I read that line of his email, we looked at each and screamed!!!! HAHAHA then laughed, then CRIED hahaha! We were being so stupid...we started saying stuff like 'ALRIGHT...this is what we live for! hahaha', 'Oh yea...we're so good we're so good!' you know...the usual gay ass stuff :) People in the office were like...what the? BUT I think they're getting used to it now! :P Nah there's a lot of love in that office. They just think the way that Charlene and I are is hilarious
When Chris complimented us, I honestly felt relieved and happy but most importantly, proud. I'm so proud of what our association has achieved in such a small amount of time. I'm so proud of our association's goals, how we're here to help everyone studying accounting. I'm proud of the dedication of our association (well...mine and Charlene's anyways :P). I'm proud of the work that our association has done through our events etc. But most of all, I'm proud of myself and Charlene. I know that may sound like we're being cocky or whatever, but I don't care. I don't care what other people I think. They don't know the amount of hard work and sweat we put into the association, the amount of TIME, the amount of effort, the amount of everthing. But I know. So i'm proud.
Honestly sitting back and thinking about it, I never thought that I could create and start something like this. Something that helps others through providing them with as much accounting information as possible whether it be jobs, CPA or ICAA events, discounted handbooks, great deals or through our accounting events.
And to think that it all started with a student ambassador role and a small yet crazy idea of an accounting association.
HAHA...makes you wonder doesn't it!
