First of all, Happy Early Chinese New Year! I'm Asian, yes. :)
Second of all, Happy February!!! Thank God January's gonna be over soon. There were four deaths during this month: first my friend, then my aunt, then my parakeet, and now my goldfish died today. (The parakeet died yesterday.) But I'm so happy the month is gonna end! Maybe all the deaths will end too. I hope so. *crosses fingers*

Cancer is mean.
You know how my last post mentioned my friend? Well, she died. My friends and I folded a thousand cranes for her, but we were too late (well, we did only have two to three days to fold EVERYTHING). I didn't go to the funeral because while...okay, I realized I didn't give you any background info. So here goes.
My friends and I were planning an event for her-you know, a party-ish thing. That's for friends. But a funeral? It should be more personal: relatives, family, and whatnot. At a funeral everybody goes; at a party, friends go. You know what I mean? So I refused to be polite, since I didn't know her very well, though I knew her sister and her close friends pretty well.
I thought that was it, and after a few days of trauma and grief, my friends and I got over it. But two weeks later, my aunt, who had cancer for years, started failing. I was like "OMG SERIOUSLY" when my mom took an airplane to my aunt's hospital with very short notice. She had two hours to shop, pack up, finish the laundry, washing all the dishes, preparing as much food as possible, and to top it off, she has to pick me up. We didn't even have time to say good-bye. Anyway, last night my aunt passed away. We didn't know it instantly; we knew it like, what, 20 hours later? She died at 12:30 AM last night. Don't ask me how I feel. I don't know her too well, and nor do I know the classmate who died, but let me tell you, having two deaths in a month from the same disease is not comfortable.
January, 2011. The month of cancer.
I'll never forget it.

Oh my god.
Okay. I had a classmate two years ago who was so freaking nice!!! God, she was like one of THE girls. You know, the cooperative ones that everyone liked and stuff. And she got cancer. That's not fair. Why does it have to be her?
I don't even know her that well, other than being in her class once. And now she's gone. I know her sister, and she's so happy and friendly. How must she feel?
My friend tells me today that it's unlikely she'll make it. I can't even cry. I'm just venting out all my frustration to this blog. She's crying and I'm trying to act happy, but who can act happy when this is happening?
I want to see her one more time. I hope I can.
Oh God, please let her get better.

Family Weekend
MY GOD, I'M TIRED.
Man, I spent half of Friday and my whole freaking weekend with my relatives! After school on Friday, I had to go to this pre-wedding party where I met people I never knew existed. Apparently they're now my cousins. Well, they're really nice, and I like them a lot, so it's all good, I guess. The pre-wedding party had all this Asian food (fried rice, BOOYAH) and it wasn't bad at all. (Of course it was raining outside.) But they had TWO 2-liter bottles of soda. I bet they want to fill us up first with the soda before giving us the food. That's actually sorta smart.
Then on Saturday came the real wedding, and I spent at least two hours just standing, snatching little snacks from waiters with my younger cousins, and conversing with my new relatives. At first it was awkward, but then it actually got sorta fun. The snacks were good too; too bad there weren't a lot of them. Then we went in for dinner, but of course we had to wait another hour before the food actually came. There were speeches, toasts, blah blah blah, one guy mixed my apple cider with champagne but I didn't get drunk, yay. (It tasted bad though, haha.) And then food! I ate lamb, my new cousin ate lamb, my dad and brother ate beef, and my mom ate-guess what?-lamb. It wasn't that bad, but my favorite was the rice that came with it. It was like, a mix of Asian and Indian food, I think. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Then people started dancing, and we got free ice cream (I ate two cones), and then my family left.
SUNDAY was a family reunion party. It was sorta special because my new cousins came for the first time! It was at the same old house with the same old cousins, though, and I had a great time running around and playing random games. In the end I had to leave early because of ANOTHER family dinner (immediate members only), which sucked a lot. I was down for a little bit, but then I got some chocolate and I cheered up.
And that brings us to now. I'm so tired, but at the same time I'm so happy that the big stuff is over. At the same time, again, I'm sad. I have to finish a social studies project and memorize a drama script by January whenever-school-starts. Still, I've got a whole two weeks ahead of me!
Merry X-mas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I know it's sort of late to say this now, though. Hahaha. It's Thanksgiving Break (finally!) and to celebrate, I went out with friends to badminton, I grabbed some sushi for dinner, I ate turkey at my grandmom's house, and I tried pumpkin pie for the first time in my LIFE (it's not bad). And tomorrow there's a traditional family party I'll be going to where I get to see my cousins for the first time in almost a year!!! I'm so excited.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!

Three Day Weekend/HALLOWEEN2010
It's another three day weekend. Monday is Furlough Day, but I don't really care about the HOLIDAY except for Christmas and stuff. So...I'm planning to go to badminton courts with my good friends on Monday. And...for Halloween, which is today? I'm gonna stay home, and at night I'll turn out the lights, not answer the door, and pretend that I'm not home. ^_^ I never trick-or-treated before in my life, and I never answered the door for trick-or-treaters either. I dunno why, I never have candy to give them, so...
P.S.: By the way, at 12 Am today, I was still awake and in the bathroom. I immediately realized it was 12 AM and I S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y freaked out. I was like "OH GAWD WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME!?!?!?" so I pelted out of the bathroom (I was just washing my hands) and stayed there until like five minutes later. LOL. Nothing happened, by the way.
Happy Halloween!

Wonderful Day
Today was a very good day. Good school day, no homework (well, there was some, but it's due next week [thur] and I only need like three days to finish it, so yeah), and my family went out to dinner. It's a very special day for me today! I won't say why though ;) But it was extremely fun. All my friends and family were around me (along with presents! LOL) and now I'm typing this with a little smile on my face.~
