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!

Mid-sem break!

FINALLY, here comes a good break. It is definitely well needed.
After such a big hassle in studying for the law mid-term, ooooh it is so good to be lazy for just a moment.

I have so many things planned for this holiday, and i am diving right in.
Time to catch up on series, but also it's no excuse to throw away all the efforts.
I am on a mission, and it will be goood.

Currently listening: In Sleep by Lissie

Thoughts: The simplicities of life.

The world is not a complicated and horrible are we perceive it to be. There is always a light towards the dark. Despite all problems we face, eventually we stand up and think, ‘hey, it wasn’t so bad after all’. We meet people, we loose people and we learn from those people.

Every mistake we make is just another step into growing.

DRUGS.

I'm sure at any point of life, you have been offered a joint, or something heavier.

It's a teenage cycle.

But were you able to say no? Or did you just go with it?

As a teenager, the thought of drugs is FUN... SATISFYING...RELAXING?

I guess to some people it is, but i mean, did you know that if you have 800 joints in your entire lifetime, you could die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

And now i bet your thinking.. "pfffft, as if it's possible to smoke 800 joints ever!"

But, if you have a joint a day, for about 2 years, that's about 800 joints.. so it's not that impossible.

Majaruna speeds your heart up by 50% in the process of being 'high'. That's about equivalent to running for about an hour on the treadmill. Tell me, which is healthier?

Yeah, blah blah blah.. facts facts.. But you know, these facts are important when it comes to the future. Nobody ever thinks of the future when they pop a pill, or smoke a joint.
The only thought is.. FUN.

Some say drugs are a form of 'happiness'. But, maybe this is because your not open to seeking things that make you happy sans drugs.

Drugs are not the escape for happy things, it's the escape for a sad soul in search of something they can't find in a clear state of mind.

I have been brought down for saying no to smoking joints with friends. I have been called lame.. a looser. Anything you want to say. Sure, the beat down makes it tempting to smoke a joint and please everyone around me, so that the teasing would stop. I did this once, and i am not proud of it. But i learnt from it, and i know how to say NO.

NO - it's the hardest word a teenager could learn to say.

Don't let the people around you, cave you in to doing something you don't want to do.

People may read this and think i'm wrong, and some might agree with me. But this is my thoughts, my own way of life.

Lions Roar!

HELLO!

I keep running in and out of my blog. Never really stay scheduled with my posts. Then again, i don't have things to talk about EVERYDAY. Well, i probably do, but i choose not to.

Things have been running good. From work, my relationships, and myself.

I think i'm finally growing up.. (in a sense) and it is not so bad.

I mean yes, there are a lot of big obstacles that need to be faced, but there are also alot of ways to overcome them.

It's crazy thinking about the future, but it is bright.

And, i finally know what i want to do... And i'm going to do it bigger then i imagined.

Thanks to my friend/boss Joy, i've learnt a whole new side of things in just a few hours of chit chat. Life IS about taking chances. I've been overly cautious, and calculative on risks, but with every risk there is a way.

I guess that's all for now, i have decided to make this blog less personal ( in a sense) and going to start focusing on a new concept. Just hold on, i still have a few things to sort.

Also, deleting past posts for that i am not that comfortable that people go through my past, and well.. the past is the past. It's moving out now.
