Puzzle Buzzle

Hello lovelys!

It's been a long time since any of us have posted hasn't it? If i recall correctly, i think i was the last to post. Hm...hopefully this blog won't be ditched already!

Anyways, as i'm sure you guys can see, I finally finished the puzzle, with the help of Jay. I actually finished it quite a while ago, but i just haven't had the chance (more like couldn't be bothered :P) to post it up. But I just finished my tutoring homework and thought I should post it up.

It's a lovely picture, props to Jackie who helped choose it. It's actually sitting on the floor in the study where it has been since the cousin outing. I would frame it, but it actually cost quite a bit to buy a frame, money which i really can't afford. But i don't wanna kill it yet coz it's taken a lot of hard work to put it together. I don't exactly know what to do with it, but it'll probably end up back in its boz like the other puzzle i made :D If you guys have any suggestions, please do tell because it would really be a shame to break it after all the hard work put into putting it together.

Anyways, i better go now, i wanna sleep early today :)

Night night lovely people

Our sleepover

Hey lovelys,

I know i know! It's nearly been a week since our sleepover, but you know, a girl has a lot of things to do :D But the day has finally arrived for some of our photos of the night to be posted online for you guys all to see :)

The night was a most memorable one. It started off with a little family get together with us and our grandmas at hot pot. It was very tasty and we had lots of fun laughing, chatting and joking around. That night, we paid for the meal too! How proud we are to finally be able to pay for a meal dedicated to our lovely grandmas. Of course, they tried to resist too, nagging about the amount of food we were ordering and trying to pay for the meal themselves (I saw my grandma counting money in the car -_-) grr...but we kept our eyes out and managed to pay for the meal!

We also bought junk food for the night ahead, heads up to Jackie who did the honours and bought a lot of stuff...which we still have at our house...

But yeah, after buying our final touch of junk food (hot chocolate, coz you can't have a sleepover without it), we managed to arrive safely back to our house...after a little bit of trouble in finding transport.

Our first event was, of course, MONOPOLY! Sadly, we did not get to see the highly praised Pokemon Monopoly, but the monopoly we bought ourselves was good enough for us. It started off with a lot of energy, lots of swearing and yelling at each other. But soon...the energy started to fizz out and by the end of it, everyone seemed out of it and a little out of the mood.

Sooo...the brighten things up a little, we decided to drink some hot chocolate. Mmmm...the delicious smell of the caramel hot chocolate was to die for! Queenie drank nearly all of her hot chocolate before i even finished making mine! Haha...it was divine!

We then marched upstairs and into the study where we worked steadily on a 500 piece puzzle that we all chipped in to buy. While we were working on the puzzle, each of us took turns to post on this blog...as you would have noticed from the previous blog. We also opened a bag of lollies...the only junk food we ate that night...hence, the leftovers that are still at my house...not that i really mind. I've just been pigging out on it..hehe

Of course, we didn't end up finishing the puzzle...i suppose we got a little under halfway. But I present to you guys.....

Drum roll please!

Our puzzle! (Shot in different angles, curteously to me and jackie)

Oh...and featuring Jackie's Ipod :D

Yep yep....of course, we soon grew tired of that and retired to our bedroom. Which after much moving and changing, turned into a sleepover area, with a queen bed mattress on the floor, moved from my room.

We decided to get changed and ready for bed *cough cough*

And ended up taking some luvos, which I now present to you after much waiting and anticipation :D

Ahh...this is the first time we are meeting you guys...visually. So i suppose i should introduce us so you guys can tell who we are. It's not exactly the best first impression of us but it'll do :)

So...at the back, making a failed heart due to someone's head, is me, Viv :)
The one holding the photo and sticking her tongue out is Jay
The one in blue, who is also sticking her tongue out, on Jay's left is Jackie.
Which leaves Queenie, who is the one on Jay's right smiling cutely at the camera.

Nice to meet you :D

After this, we ended up fooling around for a bit before drifting off into lala land...at around...4 in the morning, to get re-energised for the next day...

But..that's a story for another day as it is rather late and I am getting very tired. Phew...who knew uploading photos on this blog would be so tiring.

That's it from me for today :)

There Once Was A Girl Named... CAITLYN?

Ok!!! Here we are~ Starting 12:20am here in Jay and Viv's house!! After our almost 3 hour long Monopoly and our mouth watering hot caramel chocolate, I'm sitting right here in front on the computer screen typing my life away while the 3 seksi ladies are on the floor beside me trying to complete our 500 pieced puzzle~ Yea.. Queenie just groaned because she's absolutely hopeless at it!!! At least she doesn't have her head in her school work == Oh.. Bad call.. She just complained about not doing her homework.. Geesh!! She totally thinks she's gonna fail like what the freak?! Ahh she's being modest xD Yup!! So they don't know I'm eavesdropping on them and their little bitching-sesh of a certain girl in her school~ Hehe

Ok so lets start from today!! Omg I was at work and it was pouring!!! But Thank God by the time I finished at 7pm and needed to head over to the hot pot restaurant it stopped... We were having to much fun with our food haha forcing each other to eat the "last" meat and "last" fish and stupid queenie going on her diet?! Like Fk The What?! She's a skinny ass bitch!! Ok.. Anyway I bought soo much junk food which I highly doubt we'll even get near finishing!!

Next off we came back to Jay and Viv's house where half of us took the taxi and the other half getting driven we popped up into the bed and played that awesome game of monopoly, we started off swearing and raging at each other for all the properties each of us bought and fighting over which street colour we wanted~ The swear words flew over the board whereas the money we're soaring through the air.. yea.. a mini war xP So.. as it were heading to the end I think due to all the energy we used up earlier on in the game we pretty much died x.x But yea.. despite the fact queenie had the most properties she ended up bankrupted since she landed on all of Jay's house filled properties... Ok thats the end of that..

But yea.. I'm getting a little sidetracked.. The main idea of this blog is for us to finally gather up our info and thoughts on Caitlyn~ The girl we have been previously mentioning in our other blogs... Now where should we start? Hm.. *thinks* I think it was a November.. the end of 2008 when we first met her, at first we were reluctant to approach since we've never had anyone new joining our family and calling someone new.. our "cousin" since the rest of us grew up together and we're pretty much inseparable yea.. she was someone.. different.. But that wasn't the problem we still treated her nicely, taught her english, helped her with her school work and assessments.. and any other thing she needed.. then! She decided to turn her back on us!! She started writing a diary.. [ok!! I know we're not supposed to look through other peoples privacy~ But hey!! not our fault if she wrote crap about us right? *nudge nudge* right?] About us!! And how bad we were to her and everything like Fk The What?! Who gave you the opportunity to come here and obtain a better possibility?! US!! Who went through all the trouble to pay thousands a year to let you come here?! US!! Who paid for your daily expenses?! US!! Who gave you a place to stay and gave you food and clothes?! US!! Don't even let me continue.. Geesh this is soo not my style firing up.. but dude that girl has ISSUES!!

Did I mention we talked crap about us?! eg. Our grandmas are bitches?! That she will have a better life than us?! We're spoiled bitches?! Like HEY!!! Let's go back a few knotches!! We welcomed you here bitch!! Ok *puff puff* I'm just going to stop her.. and let my girls do the bitching man.. This is simply OUTRAGEOUS!! *wink wink*~

Bebe.x

heyhey~ its queenie here! and thanks jackiee...loving all the bitchy comments you are writing about me ><>
like jackie said...we had hot pot!! fishballs *yummm
I'm not exactly on a diet like jackie says..i just cant eat too much...cos i feel VERY sick afterwards =(...AND i still ate heaps
its currently 1.14AM and i really want to sleep but i have to stay up with my lovely cousins to complete a puzzle which has 500 freaken piecessss!! fml....
haha i'm also eavesdropping on them atm and i hear jay moaning about her fail essay..omfg she soo did not fail!!! we all know shes smart ;)

Okay! back to caitlyn~ one word..BITCH. like wtf bro shes such a fken ungrateful bitch. shes come to aus with open loving hands and she repays them by bitching about them in her diary about how everyone looks down on her. WHICH is soo not true!!...anywayss talking about her is such a waste of time!

Timeee to continue with the puzzle..-signing off-

anywaysss tomorrow we are only to have a hardcore city outing which is why we need to seriously go to sleep cos alot of vigorous activites will be happening tomorrow ;) omggg all the yummy food we are going to eat tomorrow *drools! haha and go K...sing jay sean songs which is jackies fav. artist *smirk.. thinking he was a non-curry LOL!!

<3>

ok it's jay here now. it's now 1.30 am and i'm feeling so dead. bleh. i slept at 4 am yesterday but i woke up feeling so awake!! anyhow, talking about caitlyn doesn't make me feel anything because even though she's my cousin...she never treated us like we were, and now I don't want to treat her like one anymore.

anyway there are a lot of things that she did that were really horrible, and she caused us all a lot of grief. she was never able to see all of the things that we sacrificed for her while she was here. bringing her here from vietnam and paying for her school expenses and her intensive english courses cost over $10000. And even after going to all those lessons, she still wasn't able to take anything in. After going for ten weeks, she still didn't know what a table was.. and so we had to pay for another ten weeks otherwise she wouldn't have been able to go to high school.

she caused grandma and my aunts a lot of grief, and she threw massive temper tantrums for no apparent reasons. my aunty got her a job working with a friend about a month or two before she left, working with jewellery. but she was ungrateful...and she stole a lot of jewelery from the place and sold it...and my aunty was humiliated and was forced to pay her friend back.

but caitlyn was still acting up. sigh. it was hard to act like there was nothing wrong, even though we knew that she'd written such horrible things about us. on one hand we felt extremely annoyed and pissed at her for daring to write something like that about us, but on the otherhand, we didn't want to completely alienate her because after all, she was our cousin.

anyway in her diary, she wrote that she was going to become even better than all of us here, and that she was going to be smarter and better, and when she was at the top, she could look back and laugh at us all.. and i remember feeling that it was extremely arrogant of her to say so, because after all..no offence, but she was extremely dumb..and there wasn't much chance of her becoming successful in a place like vietnam.

anyway i dunno..i don't want to think about her anymore. the other three have moved the puzzle to the side and haha they thought they lost a piece. hilarious. now we're trying to decide on a time to leave. haha anyway i'm going to sit down and talk now. time for viv.

love, jay

hey hey!

Vivy's here! It's currently 1:54 am. Man...i'm so tired it's not funny. But, you know, i have been anticipating this outing for a very long time. And although the day hasn't exactly gone the way i imagined it, it's still great because i'm with my closest people in the whole wide world and i would rather be here than anywhere else.

But onto Caitlyn. I totally agree with everything that my three lovely ladies have said above. But i have to admit, before i knew what Caitlyn did, i did feel sorry for her. To have to leave Vietnam and come to australia all by herself and live with people that she hasn't even met for a very long time seems like such a daunting task and it's really courageous of her to do so. And i felt so bad that she had to look after all the babies while all the other children were having fun together and laughing happily. And yeah, i sorta understand the way she feels towards us, considering all the luck and fortune (we are not rich, but we are fortunate enough to live a comfortable life) that we have. But she seriously went too far with what she did, regardless of what we have.

Yes, sometimes we can be a little bitchy. But most of the time, we are really kind and nice. We allowed Caitlyn to stay in australia, under a roof with food, clothing and shelter. We provided her with education and a place to work so that she can earn money to take back home with her. But she doesn't really appreciate it.

She says that we boast about all the things we have that she doesn't but she doesn't understand that that was not our intentions. Like, one time, she wanted to buy a bracelet and jackie's mum said that it was the same one that jackie had, but caitlyn didn't care and got it anyways. I mean, gosh....it's totally not right to get something even though she knows that someone else has it. And the same thing happened again when jackie and caitlyn and her mum went shopping and jackie wanted to buy this dress. And caitlyn saw it and said she wanted to get it too, even though she knew that jackie wanted to get it. I mean, come on, she was right in front of her and she still wanted to get it. that is just not on!

And then, there was also the incident when jackie's mum was kind enough to buy caitlyn a moblie phone for her birthday. And like, later on, caitlyn said she wanted to buy a phone for her dad but it turns out, she kept the phone that jackie gave to her for her dad and used the phone that she bought for herself. I mean, how selfish can she get! We try to giver her affection and treat her as family and she doesn't even return the favour.

I just don't understand her. She is so inconsiderate and doesn't care about others when we all try to make her feel a part of the family. I understand that she is away from her family and she must feel so foreign in Australia, but what she did is totally not appropriate.

It turns out, near the end of her year. She tried to go to the principal and beg him/her to let her stay for another year, asking her/him not to tell our auntie about it. But it still got to them. It's not that we don't want to let her stay. But there is a lot of money involved in letting her stay for another year and she doesn't seem to appreciate it and put it in good use to pursue her education, so there is really no point in letting her stay in the first place.

Her actions turned so bad towards the end that our grandmas and aunties wouldn't pay for her aeroplace ticket home. Which she ended up paying for herself! Ha! Serves her right. I'm sorry, i'm not usually this bitchy and i really did try to see the good to what she did, tried to reason with her actions, but she just pushed passed the boundaries time and time again, making it harder and harder for me to try to understand and let it pass by. So yeah. This is the end of my bit now. We are going to prepare for bed and then lie in bed, maybe play some cards, have some heart to hearts and then bedtime! So that tomorrow we can be awake and fresh to start the new day and the new adventure! :D

Okay! Bedtime kiddys!

Hehe~ Signing off time: 2:24am
Love Love Love Love from Us~

TOMORROW!

Tomorrow is the big day!! Ahh I'm so excited! There were a few hiccups today though..

Dad was going to force Wendy to come to hot pot with us, but I said no because it would have been awkward with her there. And then he said he'd come to some sort of 'deal', pft, yeah in his own mind, apparently he'd talked to Wendy and made a deal, but in reality, the only deal he made was in his mind. He said that Wendy didn't need to come to hot pot with us tomorrow, but she had to go to the city with us on Friday which was even worse, and then he was like, if you don't take her, I'm not going to give you any monet. So..WHAT A DICKHEAD!

Argh, and then I heard that he'd tried calling Jackie's mum to get some support or something, and telling her that Queenie should bring her brother to the city as well. Argh. How annoying.

But anyway, it's been sorted out. Wendy never wanted to go in the first place.

I hope tomorrow will be fun!

Anyway going to watch dramas now, hooked on 'You're Beautiful'. Hehehe.

Signing out now.

Jay XD

Hello hello!

Hey my dears!

Vivy's in the house!

Haha...hey guys. Gosh..i'm in such a good mood for some unknown reason. I was rather annoyed before but now i'm happy? I'm so strange.

Meh...I was just listening to a very bouncy song that made me dancer crazily into my room. It made me think of our cousin outing just recently at Star City. Our parents rented an apartment and we were par~taying while our parents were downstairs gambling or watching a concert. :P

It was sooo fun! We were inside the master bedroom, with our little cousin (who really shouldn't have been there) dancing to songs on Jackie's ipod, which was attached to a loud speaker. Now, i must say. I'm not exactly one of those people who usually dance. I find it rather awkward and would rather not coz i don't like embarrassing myself. When I'm around friends, i would just stand on the sidelines, shaking my head and feigning an excuse that i didn't know how to dance when someone tried to get me to join in. Yeah...i'm a boring person, so what!

The only times i dance are in the confines of my bedroom, with no one but myself, dancing in front of the mirror :D But I found that I was able to dance comfortably that night with my sister and cousins. And I had so much fun and didn't feel like digging a hole for myself because i was dying of embarrassment. I just belted out moves and didn't give a damn of what others thought of me. Something that i usually don't do. And for that reason, I have another reason to be so grateful to this tight bond that we share.

To be able to do something that is outside of my comfort zone is rare as I am a coward. So to be able to do that without shame, is a really big achievement, thanks to my sister and cousins.

We also sang to our auntie that night, who had to stay back to look after her two young children. I hope that she had as much fun as we had despite not being able to go with all the other adults. I hope that our little number to her was able to cheer her up and was able to let her have a little fun.

It's seriously no joke to be a mother. I'm sure we all agree that just trying to look after a child for a few hours is really tiring, let alone a few years. And to top that off, our auntie has to look after two children, both at young ages. That is crazy! I really take me hat off to her.

And i hope that our two little adorable cousins will get well soon as they are both not feeling well right now. They both get sick a lot, especially the little one. So I hope that they get well soon and become little energetic buggers again :)

Oh oh oh! It's nearly time for our cousin outing! The days counting down to the eventful evening are just sooo long! I just want it to hurry up and arrive so we can have lots and lots of fun together! I just can't wait!

Hehe...tomorrow is our prep day. We have to vacuum and change the bedsheets in prep for the night. It's gonna be very tiring, but very very worth it :)

Aiya...i'm itching for the day to come already!

I better go off and get some work done now. Cya lovelys

~Viv

Our birthdays :)

Hey lovelys,

It's been a while since you've heard from me, hasn't it? Hehe...it's not that i don't love you guys, it's more of the fact that I don't know what to write. But i thought since it is now the holidays, i should pop in and say something :)

Term 1 of year 11 has been really hectic for me. Now, i know i shouldn't be complaining because my sister and cousins have got it worse, but i am seriously struggling. There is just loads and loads of hw, causing me to fall behind in 3 or more of my subjects :D That's more than half! To top it off, I've been having problems with my group...so it hasn't exactly been fun outside of school either. That's why i am really really really glad it is the holidays. In some ways, i don't really wanna meet up with my friends in the holidays because i am scared i won't have a good time. I'd much rather stay at home dramaing or hanging out with my lovely lovely sister and cousins.

Ahh..what would i do without them? Now...i must admit, i don't talk to them as much as i would like to...because i am a year younger than them but mostly because I don't really take the time to talk to them :D But you know, I know that they are here for me and I'm really happy about that.

Though...i do seem very different from them. I'm more of a quiet, shy person, while they are more outgoing, as you guys can tell from the posts that they put up. But they are still so nice to me and include me in the things that they do, so I'm really grateful to them :)

Anyways, enough of that sappy stuff. Onto the reason for my title.

In just over 2 weeks, it will be.....drum roll please!

It will be me and Queenie's birthday!!!

Haha....for the first time in a really long time, our birthday's will be on a school day! How cool is that! But yeah, I can't wait for that. Hm....i wonder what i should get Queenie...hehe...you didn't see this Queenie ;)

Our birthday's aren't on the same day, but it is close enough, with only one day apart.

But you know what is even weirder? We have a cousin in Vietnam, someone guy that i haven't had a chance to meet yet, who was born on the same day, the same month and the same year as ME! It would have been cool if he was born around the same time but I was born at like around 10 at night i think while he was born at around noon. But yeah, it's so weird aye?

Haha...anyways, I don't really have much to say now.

Oh! I'm really excited about the cousin sleepover! I have been talking about it all throughout school, anticipating it! We are going to have so much fun :):)

Okay, i'm gonna go watch some videos because i go to tutoring :(

Love you guys
~Viv

Hey guys.

Haven't posted in a while. I haven't been feeling that great. All of my half yearly results came back, and they weren't that great. Nothing that you would really boast about. The things that I thought I'd done well on, I didn't do so great. So basically...the only thing that I did well on was maths, and that was barely good enough.

Sigh, these exams were so stressful, and I didn't really do that well. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything at all.

Ahh well, school is over for one more term. So two more to go. It doesn't feel as if half my HSC year is over...but it is!! I can't believe it!

I'm hoping that these holidays will be stress-free, but at the same time I want to get a lot of work done. But yeah, definitely looking forward to the cousin sleepover!

Sigh, I'm so tired of school. *pouts*

Jess.
