Buck buck!

I would spend endless hours in starbucks chatting about life and the latest gossips of the people we know. With our signature Toffee Nut drink in hand, she has never failed to suprise me!

I miss you, Jen Khoo! Come back quick!

After coming across a sweet message from a dear friend, i just had to write a post about her.

I just have to spread the news about this amazing girl.

I have known for about 3 years or so, and to watch her grow from a girl to a woman is just breath taking. She really is such an inspiration.

This girl has taken a new stand in our generation, and is doing something about it.

Participating in community services such as the Penang Animal Sanctuary Society, and really pouring her heart into it, it's really great.

Especially in our generation and at our age, it is hard to find those who will put aside some time, and do what you do Jen! You are really growing to be such a beautiful woman with such a big heart!

She is currently selling handmade bracelets to raise funds for the homeless/abused animals! Please do contact her if you are interested! (click here)

This is just a preview of the bracelets she is selling! Pretty aren't they!

She is currently living in New Zealand, but doing all of this work from there.

Everyone should aspire to be as big hearted as this girl is!

Keep it up, you're doing so great!

POSTCROSSING!

It's been so long since i wrote my last postcard.. probably about 6 months ago?

But here i am, writing a few to send off tomorrow.

I was introduced to Postcrossing 700 days ago. (no, my memory isn't that good, the site is just that specific.) The concept is pretty simple - you send a postcard to a random address, which is given to you, and then you receive a postcard in return.

I have to say, there is a nice kind of thrill that comes when you open the mail box, and see a postcard lying on-top of all those bills.

So, if you've got some spare time, or if you're in need of a boost from all that stress. Postcross!

In a way, it's like the world travels to you, rather than you travel the world.

.. Let's talk about me!

So i've been itching to blog for the passed few days, but got distracted in other directions, and couldn't really think of anything to write about. And just now, i had an idea. Why not talk about ME. All i ever do is talk about things unrelated to me, complain, and brag about different things.

On the first day of school, whether it's in english class, or in homeroom, we're always told to write a short ABOUT ME. And i remember always starting with "My name is Simone, and i am half-french, half-thai" - i thought it was the most interesting thing about me, other then that i would freeze for over 10 minutes, thinking... what's there to say about me? Being a 10 year old, i would go on about my dad being a chef, my constant moving to different countries.. and into the teenage years, i would talk about my dream of working in a magazine company. (that, i still want to do). But here i am, at 20. Ready to write a complete ABOUT ME.
here goes;

ABOUT ME

My name is Simone Camy, yes, we know that.

I am your ordinary teenage(i still count being 20, a teenager) girl, i go through the same thing every girl goes through in life. I don't have a special power, or deep story.
Infact, in the eyes of most of my friends, i am the party-pooper, the 'mother' of the g

roups, or anything else that relates to not being as exciting as a teenager should be. There is a reason for it, and i am not proud of it, but i am proud to have become who i am now. I mean, yeah, i would love to throw my arms up, and be so carefree. But, i am have a blast in my life even being careful.

As for all girls, i have been through a best friend breakup, betrayal, and everything possible has probably been thrown at me, and a few years ago, the worst. But, that is when i woke up. I depended so much on people, i have always been the kind of person that wants to comfort of people around me. And, i was brought to a point, where i was left with no-one to turn to, nothing left, and i realized, it was time to depend on me, on myself. I am in control of my own choices, my own life.

When i picked myself up, i ran into so many opportunities, and my family was my biggest comfort group.
I am a high school failure, i flunked every subject except for French and English, and i was not able to get into any college until i did a crash course, in order to get to where i wanted to be. Man, high school, i was so confident, and so carefree, i didn't realize the opportunities i had crushed on my own. The pain i made my parents go through, having to see the look on their faces when i failed all my subjects. But, they still gave me a chance. And now, i am trying my best to make up for it. I will make the proud, and not take this chance for granted.

I wouldn't call myself the perfect person, i have so many flaws it's uncountable, but i do have a great family, a boyfriend who relates, has been through the same struggles and the support we have for each other is strong. I have been given the chance to do so many great things, somedays, i still take it for granted, but today i finally realized, I am lucky.

So, my name is Simone Camy, i am a striving college student, in dreams of working for a magazine company one day, i am you're average teenager addicted to the internet, music junkie and trying to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. ( at the rate i'm going, i might even be a gym junkie).

I don't know where i will be in 10 years, or even next year, but where ever i am, i know it'll all be for the best.

This is a little about me.

Now, i wonder what my 6th grade teacher would've thought of this as my ABOUT ME paragraph!
