Hiatus!?

I should have mentioned that I would be on a 2 month hiatus before going on it? Haha, too late now.

I better warn you that it’d be a long blog because I have nothing better to do.

Exams and uni are done for the year, which means Christmas is coming soon. Our family's hosting it so should be fun although I'm not in the festive spirit yet! Apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Grandma's going to Vietnam this Saturday and aunt suggested that I should go since I have nothing better to do in the break (haha, thanks!). I'd prefer going after I finish my degree but grandma can't wait that long but I've offered to take her to the airport. My uncles' would do the driving, of course! Speaking of which, I haven't driven in AGES -- at this rate, I doubt I'll get my P's but with the number of fatalities of P-platers by the time I do get them, there'd be all these rules and regulations in place! -_______________________-;;

We had dinner with the relatives because it was grandpa’s death anniversary. Prior, I spent the arvo speaking to grandma on the phone. I’ve never spoken to her for that long and I’m surprised that I could actually hold a conversation with her, especially with my broken Vietnamese. She mentioned grandpa a couple of times that I wondered whether it was painful to do so. It’s been 6 years since his passing and I must admit I’ve been guilty of not thinking about him daily. Looking back, I don’t have many memories of him (I don’t even remember the sound of his voice) -- all I remember is when they first came to Australia and were learning English. Toan and I would test them saying the word in Vietnamese and they’d have to say it in English. It was a bunch of laughs. But my point is: will we all become distant memories? You know those graves you see where they are old and dilapidated, would that be me one day?

On a more brighter note, Jenny and I watched The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift to kill the time and I gave her the first few episodes for Fruits Basket, which was stupid because I’m gonna wait till she’s in year 10 to watch the rest. And remember Bebo? Well, apparently it’s a hit with the Juniors but I think it’s a kiddie friendly version of Myspace.com! She told me to make one but I have one just can’t remember my username and password!

It’s only Week 1 of the holidays and like others, I’ve made a list -- haven't started but I’ve got another 3 months or what not to finish it all:

The MUST DO TO-TO list:
- file notes
- learn to cook
- clean my room
- rent a bunch of DVDs and veg out
- finish reading books started at the beginning of year
- buy new clothes
- play some pool
- get some driving lessons
- start an exercise regime but it's so hot outside!
- get out of the house some time this year! rofL!
- earn more than I spend

Hope everyone else is having better luck than me!
