HALF-WAY THROUGH YEAR 12
kid :" Hey dad, when i grow up, i wanna be a hairdresser"
- normal parents " well good on ya son, do wat u wanna do"
- asian parents "......get the fuck outta my house!"
well i just finished half yearlies and goddamn were they long. seemed to drag on for years. and u get those people who dont bother to do anything during the tests, instead they just do anything to annoy everyone else. like clicking pens! that was so annoying! iwas trying to think man. i was like " an exchange rate is ...*pens clicking a gazillion times*". well anyway, all thats over. got holidays now. woohoo! well i gess thats half way thru year 12. anther 6 months and school will be finished. for good! that shood sound like a good thing to hear but thats kinda scary man. i probably hafta get a job! nooooooo!!! haha well yeah. so who has strict asian parents nowadays? i think most people do, but mine are quite casual about it. they only got 3 rules:
- dont become a drug dealer
- dont become gay
- when ur 20, u get the fuck outta my house!
haha, i was jokin about that last one. theyre kickin me out when i turn 19.
well i gess most parents got expectations about their kids, like they shood do really really well in school and become doctors or a brain surgeon or whateva. but there are some people that jsut shoodnt go school. im not trying to sound mean, but some people shood just find a job early. like work at woolies, or telstra...or become a gay drug dealer. who knows. lolz. well next year, school will be gone. wat the hell do i do from 9-3 everyday? oprah is only on for an hour, 5 hours to spare. lolz well there'll be no more skool, if u get into trouble then u'd most likely go to jail, hafta go get a fulltime job, then ya hafta go get fired. so i gess a whole lotta shit is gonna change, maybe im thinkin too far ahead.i shood just think about what im havin for breakfast tomoro morning. well i gess ill just hafta hang on to these last 6 months of talkin about nonsense at lunch time, callin people sluts just so they cood call u a hairy bitch back, impersonating import teachers, and laughing nonstop about absolutely nothing in eco with that gaybo. u know who u are! lolz well anyway, i just wrote alot about nothing really. i dont know if i was trying to be funny, or trying to be serious..but it did make u read right? if u like it, then good for u. and if u hated it, then i respect that too....wait, no i dont..go to hell!! haha well thats all from me. catch y'all around!

CLASS OF 2007
I just finished my last HSC exam today and also the last test that i will ever sit for within Bonnyrigg High School. 6 years of high school for 3 weeks of "all-important" tests. Just where did all those years go. I still remember the first day of bonnyrigg high, back in year 7, when i saw all those new classmates for the first time and thought, "Man, these people sure are ugly!". It seems not much has changed since year 7. Back in year 7, i use to look at the year 12s and thought that they were gangsters (well we did go to bonnyrigg, so this was probably true), but most of all, i thought they were really big. Now that im in year 12 (actually...i finished year 12...FUCK ME DEAD!), i feel like I have grown and that theres this warm fuzzy feeling inside of me thats also grown (i hope its not cancer...). Knowing what i know now, if i was givin the chance to go back in time and choose any school i wanted, i would still choose bonnyrigg high (its closer to KFC). I mean, bonnyrigg might be a crappy, run-down, out-dated, really ugly, super-mega-ultra-shitty school. But it was OUR crappy, run-down, out-dated, really ugly, super-mega-ultra-shitty school. Its not the school itself (which was probably designed by a drunken architecture who got his inspiration from a disorganised pile of lego blocks that an epileptic 4-year old decided to build) but the people in it that make it an okay place to be. I would like this oppurtunity to thank all the teachers for being really fantastyic teachers...but i won't, as they wern't. LOLZ!. It was the guys and girls of bonnyrigg that made it a bearable place to be. The first person that i probably remember back in year 7 is John. Remember how he used to be in the canteen and take our orders (i'd ask for a meat pie, then he'd give me the meat pie and yell out "YOU GOT SERVED!")..who'd of thought he would turn out to be our school captain (i sure as hell didn't). From serving meat pies, to serving the school. It seems whatever John's been serving has been full of shit. LOLZ!. John is one of the coolest guys to be around, he'd laugh at anything you say. You could ask him about his thoughts on exploitation of child labour and he'd just start to histerically laugh, then you, too, would start to laugh at disfigured children in africa. Other guys who have stayed in at school are Bandoll and Vince...since our days of the original 8 to the dwindling 3 that was left, Vince has never gone one day without eatting/stealing half my meat pies...those were the days. Our group had so many name changes: SKC, soul rendition, 5 gigs, 4 gigs, Trung and his Homies. Those were the days. Ever since year 10 in those volleyball days, ive had a great friendship with Winnie (aka Queen of Skankville.lolz, im only kidding...your not a queen). She's a cool girl, easy to talk to but unbearable to listen to (maybe i should stop with these insults). She's one of the coolest friends to have. She's like a cousin from melbourne who you would love to hang around with, but wouldnt want to stay over for the weekend (Yo coz...please go home now). There are probably many other people that i will remember but dont have time to write about (mostly because they won't pay the "Your name is on Trung's Blog" fee). The shuttlecock crew...who seem to always do push-ups for every single thing they do ("you dropped the shuttle-cock, 20 push ups!...you look like a girl, 20 push ups!...you have hepatitis B, 20 push ups!"), the people in my maths ext. 1 class who i seem to gamble with almost every day of the week (i had to re-mortgage my house to repay my debt), the fobs (WHAT THE FUCK YOU LOOKIN AT!?), the asians who havnt stabbed me (yet) and various other people who i can't be bothered making fun of. I will always remember every year 12 in my year (except the ugly ones), from the smallest (which is of course, lil Kenny) to the biggest person ( which is Alex...or if you're measuring horizontally, Crystal). I can see now that our year will have all kinds of people doin all kinds of things, from doctors, to accountants (ther'd probably be alot of these since most of bonnyrigg is asian) to engineers to funny ass comedians...but mostly i see future welfare recipients.
Looking back on all you people, i can honestly say that i will not miss you people. Because i know, even if school finishes, i will see you again. There's no way im gonna let bonnyrigg people outta my life. What i will miss tho is the school experiences and the days where we could have fun and call ouselves Bonnyrigg students. We've been through so much together, expecially in year 12. We saw many teachers leave, had an unforgettable time doing our year 12 concert (i reckon that swedish nerd guy was the coolest...i wonder who he was...), and even had a scare when someone died but turned out to be just one big prank (you know who im talking about....no, not Mr.Brady). But i gotta say, the most memorable, craziest and funnest experience was the year 12 camp. The guys in my cabin are one of the funniest guys i have ever been with. Even though a cabin full of guys might sound homosexual, it was the funniest (and fucken scariest!!) memorable night of my high school night. As year 12 comes to a close, i will remember year 12. I remember us as the class that had more suspensions than awards, the class that seemed to be overun by asian immigrants, the class that had the funniest people on Earth, the class that will always be in my memories even when i become a withered old man...the class of 2007.

PRESENT - 2010
Hmm, strange how much has changed in a little over 2 years. I write so differently now then how I use to. Such a jovial tone with an upbeat vibe, constantly writing "LOLZ!" to emphasise the punchline of a joke which adds to the energetic posts. Compared to my now very sarcastic and dry humor, brought upon by the very cold world that has gradually beaten every once of joy and hope out of life....LOLZ!
Hmm, "there's no way im gonna let bonnyrigg people outta my life". It is nice catching up with old friends every now and then: random meetings on the train, getting drunk together at parties, seeing their faces on Australia's Most Wanted. There's like an unintentional mini Bonnyrigg Renunion that happens every friday night at mounties. The same old familiar faces every week. And that's why I don't go to mounties on fridays anymore. Haha. Like I said, it is nice catching up with old friends, but I wouldn't want to make it a regularly thing though, aside from the few who I do see almost all the time.
As much as I reminisce, and no matter how nice they are, memories are just memories. I genuinely did want things to stay comfortably the same back in 2007. But isn't that what progress is all about? Not staying put in comfortable routine and daring to venture on to something new. Eh, what do I know, I'm not that old and wise. But because I'm young, I believe I'm right haha.
I remember moments with people that make me laugh and smile more than any joke that I could ever possibly think up of, and also the times that made me think "man...what a social failure that was...". I think the most important thing I've learnt over the years is that if you're too worried about what you're doing, you'll most likely be in danger of doing nothing. I know that I did follow that lesson, though I know that I still could've done things better and maybe the outcome would've turned out a bit more to what I wanted. Still, I don't have any regrets. Looking back, I know that all the laughs, smiles, failures and internal defeats has led me to become this imperfect, yet best version of myself so far. And for that, I wouldn't have changed a thing.
