breaking point
There are times in your life when you can only hold in and bottle so much. Tonight i reached my breaking point. Being who i am, i tend to hold in and bottle a lot of things and only a week since the stress of exams and then going straight to work every night plus lack of needed sleep, i did something that i haven't done since my mate crashed his car. I broke down. After being totally raped at work again it got to the point when i just couldn't hold it in any longer. No matter how hard i tried not to let it out, it just made it worse.
It wasn't the yelling that made me break, i've been getting yelled at for the past 2 years at work so its pretty much a norm for me. But i guess it was a matter of all the things that i bottled up inside of me that just needed to get out. I don't think crying is a bad thing, but to be totally honest i was pretty ashamed. Its not something i do regularly, its been like just over a year. But yeah, not my finest of moments. However, like my mate ly said,"tomorrow is another day" and luckily i don't have work :)

what a night
How can i describe the last few hours of my night, a night different and special to all other nights, a night that i'll never forget and most likely dream of for awhile. A night that will be talked about for weeks maybe months ahead. I guess one word can describe this night of all nights........ it was a FUN night. I am pretty much left speechless after tonight.
It all started after a long night at work. We were standing in the carpark and decided to go for a cruise. Long story short we were cruising to the airport in 4 different cars;the mean elegant evo 8, the sexy rx 8, the boy toy integra and the family car accord that packs punch. First highlight of the night, we got jammed by some truck drivers on commonwealth land and were told to get lost. Then we drove all the way behind the airport and back all the way to port of brisbane and along the way there was plenty of fun :D. Nothing makes me smile more than the adrenaline pumping throughout your whole body as you launch off the line, the smell of burnt fuel and rubber, the sound of 80000rpm roaring every so loudly above the whistling thunder of the evo 8 next to you........ this feeling made me feel like i was 10 years old.
We tried to defy the law of physics and go faster, pushing the limits of the cars. But in the back of my mind i will never forget that night that changed my whole view and attitude towards driving. As you read this, you probably thinking what stupid hoons. But ever since that night just a little over a year ago, i basically lost all interest in cars. It changed me, i thought i would be totally over cars and racing. That night is what limits me from pushing that little more when i drive. But cars is like a part of me, driving is what i do when i just want to relax when im angry or sad. There's a time and a place where we choose to push the limits. Stupid hoons do it basically everywhere just to show off. I guess what we do is stupid, but we don't do it for show.
We do it cause we have that passion to just drive and on that note i think its time to say good night.

another day gone by
Its 3am in the morning, just got back from ly's watching iron man. Would have to say it was a pretty good movie. In reply to ly's post, i would like to confirm that janice did not actually fart and i do not have smelly feet. The fart smell mixed with the refreshing smell of soury exotic moist feet is a common fragance called LY TRUONG. I must say that his fragrance is very appealing.
The rain this evening/morning has been pretty dramatic, as we were watching iron man i took a glance outside the window and saw rain radically blowing horizontally. However the morning started off with lots of sunshine, and with lots of sunshine came heat and humidity :(. This morning, well yesterday morning i should say, my cousin gave me a call. The other day i was just thinking about giving him a call and catching up with him. We had a good long talk about everything, the convo lasted atleast 2hrs. But its been 2 years since i've properly talked to him, so i guess 2hrs of talking wasn't really anything. We usually see each other every christmas as the family gets together. Its been like that since we were born, but for the last 2 years i guess we've been pretty busy. We lost sight of what was more important than just work. I remember the last time i saw my cousin, as we were saying our goodbyes.........he started to cry. What a girl hey :P. However, i must admit i started to get teary too. Can you imagine two 17 year olds saying goodbye to each other and crying, kinda a homo moment you would think (i bet ly right now is giggling like a girl lol). But memories like those i'll never forget, just like the memories of ly's alluring natural organic fragrance.
But right now, I think its time for another movie before bed...

rain rain go away
Its early hours of the morning, i can't seem to sleep so thought i might as well blog a little. As much as i love the rain and knowing how badly we need it, i kinda wish it would stop raining. This weather has made me feeling under the weather, or maybe emo you could say lol. Don't know why, but i've been reflecting a lot about my past. How much things have changed. So many important decisions to make in the next few months of my life, some of these decisions maybe complicated and life altering, to something as simple as choosing what to cook for dinner. I guess time will tell what will happen.
What i've learnt over the past year is that, sometimes life hands you something amazing. Something that makes you feel like nothing before. But like all good things, they usually dont last. You let it go cause you're afraid. You try to erase those memories, but in doing so they make those memories more clear, those feelings more defined. You try to make the right decisions, the decisions you make you strongly believe that they were for the best. However, letting something go, but not wanting to is hard. You can't force something, no matter how badly you want it. You just have to get back on your feet and keep moving.
For now, i have a few things to do over the next 3 months of my holidays; get another job, fix my car, sand and repaint the deck, clean my room and study room, catch up with my cousin and grandpa, go on some more fishing trips with my mates, gym with ly and i'm pretty sure there were heaps of other things to do. But for now, i think i'll get some needed rest.

First post
Ahhhh first blog ever in my entire life. Let the blog wars begin! I guess this is just another reason to put off the more important things that need attending to like the two piles of clothes in my room and the mess of papers all over the floor in my study room.
Today is the first day of my holidays and it started off fairly good/crap depending how you look at it. But i'll start my story at the end of work last night. A few hours before work we had planned to go on the greatest fishing adventure ever after work. So after ly and I had finish work, we called up the crew. Me and ly headed out to the city to pick up a half drunk vietnamese guy called Phuc. We ended up waiting for like an hour to which we thought would be a 10 minute wait lol. Then we went to pick up a vietnamese stooge called Ricky, a very reliable guy i must say and this is when the greatest fishing adventure begun.
First stop, we had was at a much loved classy restaurant, where the food is reasonably price and healthy and the service is close to a 5 star restaurant......... this stylish world renowned restaurant is much known as McDonald's. We had our feed and continued our journey. The vibe in the air at this time was electrifying. The boys were excited and determined to have the catch of a liftime. The thought of catching something big and staying till dawn fueled our excitment. In our minds we believed that this night was the night of all fishing nights and that dream catch would soon be ours. Our journey had led us to a place recommended by Ly, a keen fishman with immense fishing knowledge that only personal experience could have been taught. Not long after we arrived to our destination, our excitment and expectations high, we were ready for that perfect catch. As the boys threw in their lines, I had to decided to to wait to see if the boys were having any nibbles. Having the luck i have, i was most likely to catch nothing but seed weed and snag. But the fact was, there was just no fish. We had miss the 11 o'clock tide by atleast 2hrs. The only bites the we were getting were from the viscous blood draining mosquitos. We were destined to have another uneventful fishing trip again. After a while we tried our luck at a few other places, but we were only lead to further disappointment. We then decided to head home, broken hearted. Once we were the cheerful, excited, enthusiastic keen fishing men, by the end of our journey we were all tired and grumpy old men.
But in the end it wasn't entirely about the perfect catch, it was the quality time of chilling with your mates early in the morning and toughing it out through the harsh winds and annoying mossies. Spending that time, making those memories is what makes it worth while. Even though a big nice fish would make us more than happy once and awhile. Maybe one day, hopefully soon during one of our adventures, we'll come back with that big catch.........
