Back to old habits!
3 o'clock, Saturday afternoon - you know what that means. My net is back! I've officially banned my brother from excessive pod-cast downloading until I finish uni when I won't be needing the internet so much!
Sadly, I am back to procrastinating and sadder - I'm doing uni work while the world is out there having fun. The family has gone to the mall while I'm sitting here attempting to do some research for my assignment.
All the things I wanted to post about when I was gone has also gone from my memory - in other words I have forgotten all the things I wanted to add here. Let's face it, I don't have a brilliant memory so I guess I'm just going to have to leave this as is...
Oh, we got our car back! Instead of our insurance company fixing our severly damaged car, we got a really good mechanic and he re-did our entire car and it's really impressive. The damages were quoted "unreplaceable" from our insurance company but our mechanic and my dad argued their way and we fixed our car and our insurance company gave in. And my parents being my parents threw a party last night (I was couped up in my room, i'll explain in a sec) for the car being back and them defying all odds LOL. Our mechanic came and everyone got wasted, sung badly at karaoke and I became temporarily deaf.
In my room I had to 'outdo' the folks and blasted my music louder than theirs - so I didn't have to listen to their music. As an asian, I really don't understand asian music. When my parents throw these parties sometimes the guests bring things (fruit, a dessert etc...) but the best thing that came was last night's Beer Keg! 5L of Heineken!
As for being couped up in my room, the reason behind this is "Asian" talk. My parents and their friends have a wonderful thing going on where their children have to 'outdo' their other children. As a non-medical studying family member, my parents prefer if im not mentioned, unless I marry a doctor or something haha. But hey, better for me because I don't have to 'sell' myself to their friends anyway. I'd rather stay in my room. My brother imported loads of Coke-Zero and food to keep me going for the rest of the afternoon/night so it was all good.
Anyway, better get back to work but I'll be back!
Some Saturday Photos to share with you!

There are many families like that - it's just the way it is - families try to out-do each other. It is worse if there is pressure on you to do well (like SATs in the US or HSC in Australia) but I've passed that stage and they can't say much about it - and its good because I'm left alone, less pressure that way!
But that kind of family structure does exist and is prevalent in many Asian families - but as the next generation we understand how much that's bad and we're most likely going to change that :)
Anyway, glad you got the car back! Yay!
Haha! Saved!
