hey jonna
i saw your blog
but i'm not even sure i'm the best person answering you this question
what do you do with your life..
its hard to answer

in terms of the THINGS you wanna do
there are just too many of them,
and you sort of pick them up on your way
through the journey, like I wouldn't even think about traveling Europe back in 2 years ago, and I wouldn't even learn Swedish without meeting you guys
it's not just like ...ok i sit here and focus on thinking what i wanna do ......

the answer doesnt really come out in that way , i personally think .......
i would say the best way is to get out there and grab any oppotunities of learning new things ,and meet new, different people
you will learn a lot from doing all these things, it just gives you a lot of information about the world, everything,
and it might even change the way you see things ..

and....in term of what you wanna do as you JOB,of how you're getting the money from..
its different,

some people just wanna do what they're into as their job, like those musicians, painters, those jobs dont always earn the most money out of all professions

some people decided to do some jobs earning
money as quick as possible,
so they can make use of them to do other things ..

and sometimes you dont always get to decide what you wanna do as your job.. that is true for some people, like my mom, my dad screwed up the money that my mom probably has saved for 10 years... back then we were just little, she had no option but open an restaurant....
does she enjoy doing it ? no..

but yeh ...i suppose you will a lot of times to find out about what you really wanna do, it takes times.....

my sister took 4 years of Uni studying business before she started working at some banks and stuffs back in Taiwan ,
then she just found out she couldn't do it
she's now back in here studying some else , like start over again

i met a guy during the trip, he spent 3 years doing some course competely different from what he's doing now, and now he's doing some sea resource research ....

there are too many stories like this kinds

anyway .................
i hope this helps ......
if you wanna talk more about it
im more than happy to help

i know how all these might sound like a pressure to you
but life is good, trust me :)
just enjoy your ride you know ..xD
no matter how it might be

coz i personally reckon all these are pretty SHIT hahahahaha
all these wont matter if you cant love, cant share
dont matter if you dont have your friends around , right ?

take care

xx
ray


ps. and...just some other things about the trips if you're going to Spain
it is good that you book your ticket as early as possible, it'd be cheaper and sometimes some travel agents have special deals for the flight and hotel packs

and either book it online or through the travel agent, it'd be cheaper too ..
there are some really good website for Europe doemstic flights

and...June and July is a really high season for traveller, just watch out each others if you're traveling with your friends
coz there will be lots of different people around ..

jsut to make sure everyone is safe xD


good luck with it ..

:)

Justin will show up at the end
he's playing the piano ...xD
"she sings my song better than me" lol





she's a youtube singer from Switzerland :)
became famous by posting numberous of videos of
her doing cover, she was signed by the record company
own by Justin Timberlake, debut album will be coming
out in 2009

I started watching her video quite long time
before she was signed, and i jsut found she's so amazing
she's not probably as good as those super diva like
alicia keys or leona lewis yet, but she's got
deeply Good potential :D

she got her style, plays piano
and she has the ability to rewriting a song
you can tell by her serveral cover song she did :)

im so looking forward to her new album


Crystal by New Order
I'm seriously addicted to this songs xD
we're like crystal ... HEY- we break easy HOO--- xDDDD




alfie by burt bacharach
i think one of the best song of all times
love the lyrics

keep it going , keep it going

I started to do some extra works than
I usually do for training this week
I've made my training harder

so mostly if I'm not toot sour
nor feel pain in my muscle
I go running after the karate class
5 laps is the standard, catch a breathe
another 5 laps

I only did 3 last night tho
coz somehow I felt like I was
gonna pass out or something ..
probably was becasue I sort of
only had one meal yesterday
or I did too much photoshop ..

after the running, 2 arounds of
20 push-up, 30 sit-ups, and then strenching
yep, so that's the new routine for now

this is a clip when Jet Li is young
and the stuffs he did ...I only could think
of crazy" this word while watching it
it is bloody quick ...............
and see the one he swings he leg around
the bottle stuck in tree, you guys should
try that sometimes, coz we do that for the
kicking stregth practice as well,
IT IS REALLY HARD to do that well xD



it is amazing how well it gets you sleep so well
at night after a nice training, i've been sleeping
so deeply well hahaha

my mom called me last night speaking about
the Homestay i'm moving in, she probably was
tired or got fed up with somehting else
she kept arguing with me about how bad
my new homestay is, coz i told her i don't
really have a closet in my room,

i told her that's ok, i could figure something out
she kept saying it is ridicurlous, she's not
paying rent for that kind of lousy place or such
said if they don't buy the closet for me
she's not paying the rent for it
and just hung up on me

she's been ridicurlous, sometimes i just wondered
so much what she's doing with all these
even i'm now fucking 20 years old ...
she just could be so difficult at times

i hate to write about the bad things,
so forget it

i have so much stuffs have to do lately
i feel a little bit overloaded
sometimes make me so confused
but yeh i will figure it out ..

i guess not much more for now
for the things i wanna share ..
maybe it isnt really the right time
to type this, i don't feel really
good now ... hahah

anyway take care guys :D !!!!
keep it real

Bars, Clubs

so last Saturday
i just felt so bored
so i decided to hang out
in the city all night long

i never done this kind of
things before, yeh i sort
of did, but with my sister
and that was we went to karaoke
and no it wasnt fun ....

i dont know, i never really
enjoy hanging out with my sister
she could be a bit boring
my mom is much better
she's so cool

anyway, yeh,
i got out around 9
and went the Exford Hotel
which is the place they have
jukebox and 2 floor bars
it was a good place !
i love that jukebox haha
i put one buck in and played
"crystal" by New Order

a group of people were
singing along while that
song is on the screen
haha i was psyched, because i
didn't expect any people would
love that song like i do !

so i grabed a beer and went to them
then i sang along the song with them
hahahahahahah SOoooo random
but it was FUN

they told me they're from Spain
and looking for a karaoke to sing
so i said 'Oh man ok, i know some places'
so we went out the bar and to the closest
karaoke in china Town .. but it wasn't open

but after all, they weren't really after
the karaoke at all, because what they did
after finding out karaoke was close was
cruised around the street and hit on
random girls on the street, kept asking
me if i know any bars have hot girls XD

so i left LOL

anyway, it was only around 1 O'clock
so i headed to the other bar where
Cassette Kids had their after party at
but i ran into some other people asking
the police where 'The Croft' is
yeh there are cops everywhere on
Saturday night in inner Melbourne city
i guess there are lot of unexpected shit
could happen without them

i followed that group of guys to the bar
called 'The Croft' , ahoh interesting
it's in a really grungy, dark alley
in China Town, charges 8 on the door
i went in with the group and the other couple

but it was a pretty small 3 floors venue
and was really quite ........
so i sat on the chair just at the entrance
a corridor has doors on the side to the toilet
felt kind of bored because no much fun in here XD

then the group i was following came in
and seemed to be wondering where that place was
coz it really looks like some sort of office
despite the function of it ...

so i told them 'it's toilet'
they said 'oh lol i thought it was
some private room or ...'
so the other two girls went in for toilet
and the last girl and the other guy
sat on chair around me , waiting

i forgot how we started talking
seriously can't remember
but yeh its a 4 people group
they met each other in the hostel
2 girls from Switzerland, one from
Scotland, the guy's from Texas, USA
i always like the Scotland accent
but the her accent wasn't so strong

they were going downstairs
and i wasn't really in intention
of hanging out with them, but they asked
me if i wanna come down as well
so i did

down there i had a really nice beer
which i forgot its name, it tastes
a bit like a kind of blend of vanillina
and honey, pretty cool and pretty cheap as well
we didn't talk anything serious down there
i mostly talked with the Scottish girl
she's probably older than me around 25
or so , anyhoo, she seems really well-traveled
she's done some places around Asia, Europe
which is cool, coz most of them don't bother
going Asia first, they seem to
be more keen on Europe,

so a bit later
the guy asked me if i know
anywhere to get weed ...YES
as known as Marijuana, dope

WHAT ?! do i look like i KNOW ?! XD

well, i know this thing happens every
now and then, it does as well in Taiwan
" The Drug-Using " in bars and clubs
it wasn't no biggies for me, coz i heard
it about it a lot ... but yeh i will never take it

but yeh i kind of understand why people
wanna take it, they're curious, and sometimes
it is a kind of release when you feel so shit
but have you read anything about these drugs
before using them ?? i have , and it sounds
so freaking damn bad,

let me spell it out for you
drugs increase your heart-beat and
get your whole body work a lot more faster
than it should, that's why you feel so pumped
after taking it and staying so awake,
in some rare cases .... peoples' bodies
couldn't handle that effect it cause and
die after few uses or first use

in some cases, drugs shorten your memories
, decrease your body function, some reports
show that people start losing their ability
of focusing or thinking properly

some drugs could relatively increase the
chances of getting your cancer as well

ok does that sound funny at all ?
the worst of all is you might get
addicted to this thing !!!!!
became a junkie and your whole
life would feel apart .......

of course i didn't start lecturing
them after hearing these people use
drugs, but if i see them again in
other places , i think i will
if that could save a life -

we did exchanged number after they left
we should do some healthy stuffs next time
rather than hanging around in a bar
and talking about drugs .... XDDD
the people who're reading this
if you're taking it ...Stop it
like right now ! there are just
so much other ways you can enjoy your life ..

I told my mom this stories
after the night, she just so freak
out about like it's her first time
ever heard people taking drugs
and told me not to call those people
again, coz they're bad or some shit
hahahahha NO !! i'm not doing the same
thing like those people did to me
in high school :
don't get close to the bad people
coz you'll get bad as well

have you thought about maybe
these people are those who really
need someone's help in their life ??
when a person did something the general
society considers a WRONG thing
everyone else just judge and abandon them
who are you to judge the others ?

i was a student never studied in high school
my grade totally sucked back then
and i can see how some teachers and students
just look down on me because of it
none of them ever asked about what
really went wrong with my life
cause something did went wrong
in my life in high shcool

but fucking no one asked
just thought i'm a bad student
i was so lost man , i needed help
until i won the 1st place of a karaoke
competition in school, then lot of them
started like kissing my ass after it
started saying things like
"wow i didn't think you could sing ! "
"wow you're great ! "
yeh fuck you all

anyway ,
my mom just totally freak out
and so worried about it ,
told me not to go there again
i understand .
but i wont do as she asked me to do
she always wants to keep me safe ..
but life is not safe if you really
wanna go ahead and do things ! mommy !
you could stay in a circle which you're
totally safe as long as standing inside it
BUT that's not me mommy, i love you
but this is not who i am
i love doing things
i never done before
stepping into the unknown



anyhoo, i went to the other club
Eurotrash, and back to Exford Hotel
untill 5 am ,

the train only came in at 7:45am
the next morning, i was waiting at
the station, chilling, finally
got back home from the big late-night-out
after catching first train .............

well, i don't think
i will do this that often
it is fun, and it was good
just it is not always so good
hanging around there, unless you're
having some mates around and
getting some good moments

or i wouldn't stay there at night
and yeh i will never take drugs
for my mom and for my friends ...
i don't want you guys to worry about me

take care guys .
and don't take pills
when someone gives you
it could be a trick

fuck just don't take it ok ?

right

so i decided to do a blog
it is good because i can get into a lot more
details about all the things considering in my mind
or the stuffs that is happening in my life
if you're sick of reading englihs
i'm sorry it's all probably all
gonna be some blogs with quite
a bit length ...

so man, it's 2009
i would really say 2008
was a good year , ended with
a trip to party up with Magic Dirt was sick.

I feel amazing, this kind of feeling
never really emerged ever before
lile " it was a good year "
I've always felt nothing when
another year is gone ....

so i guess some inside me
really has changed compared to
the one who i used to be ...
i feel i'm always changing
i hate to be staying the same for
too long, that's just boring .....

anyway, i'm really looking forward to
traveling more this year, either times
around June or July, and YEH MAN
it is gonna be something big you know
something i have never done before
i really feel like it and excited about it ....

and it is going to be my last year of Uni
i feel bad about that i havent really been
puttig myself up to works of school, and
everything in my life , i hate it

but it is gonna be different
because i wanna go out there and do
what i do !! just straight ahead to
the end you know .........
i've realised that we're all just living
and waiting to die ...
i really think about life in that way

so what are we gonna do inbetween our Birth and Death ?

i feel like i cant wait any more sec to waste
everytime this thought comes out
even so much stronger after the trip
to lake entrance, i was speaking with Adalita
about the doing music thing

she said to me " just do it
dont listen to anyone telling you
you can not do it "

i was shaked and hooked
i really feel that i have to
and must get up to THINGS ,
i'm not sure yet what those THINGS are
but I just gotta DO THINGS !! in life
though i never really just stayed all the same
in the past 2 years , but i wasnt that much of
living every minute to my maxium ...
and now somehow i feel im ought to do this

anyway, too much of serious stuffs
i watched YES MAN 2 days ago
LOVE IT
i wanna watch it again now

the karate class today was tough
we did like 300 kicks or whatsoever ..
but its good to be sour - you feel the difference

i'm moving out on 31th Jan. from this aparment
because i hate it, my housing agent is a jackass XD
and i do not enjoy living alone ..... not AT all
SO , where am i gonna go .....
the answer is gonna be .......

with a family that the couple are jazz musicians ..
how cool is that :D i dont listen to jazz that much
but music is one and all the same dont you think

they have a little dude around 1 year old hahahha
i am GOING TO CRUSH him !!!!!!
jk we'll be good buddy : )

and another baby on its way : )
well, i really hope its gonna be good

hmmm what else ...
