Happy New Year lovelys!

Well my Nye wasn't that bad I guess cos I spent it with my family and it was filled with heaps of laughter and happiness! We were cruising around Brighton and Double Bay, I found the nicest spot to have a picnic!! But I ended up sleeping after watching the fireworks on Tv hahaha what a joke!I was too tired anyways and I had such a great sleep after a while haha :)

I was just thinking that 2009 was such an amazing eventful year compared to 2010. But of course there were highlights for 2010! I just hope Inshallah 2011 is going to be a great, wonderful year! It's my last year of high school and I must enjoy every minute of being a school kiddo! Hehe :D I don't know what to expect but every year is always a suprise! I can't wait for 2011; graduating high school, formal, turning 18 and many more!!! But all I can say is, BRING IT ON 2011!!!!!

2010

Once again another blog entry about each year! Hmm what can I say about 2010? Well I started off with senior school with subjects that I was interested in and I don't even know why I did Art. That was a joke hahaha! But anyways thanks God I dropped that out!!
But 2010 definately made me become a stronger person and a capable young women. The main highlights of 2010 are appreciation, realisation, determination and being happy.

This year I learnt to appreciate what I've got and being thankful in life. By that I mean I am soo thankful to have a great family especially my parents, I really don't know what I'd do without them honestly. I love them soo much with all my heart and I've realised at the end of the day, it's all about being there for each other no matter what. I can definately say, we're just a one happy family! My parents have supported me throughout the year especially with school and those talks I would have with them about my goals in the future. I don't know how to express it but I am just soo thankful for having such wonderful parents that can understand me! Thank you Mum & Dad, whom I call you's my bestfriends and I love you! :)

Lastly friends are always a main highlight and this year I have made so many good friends! But one thing I learnt is, "Friends come and go". Especially during my 17th birthday BBQ, I realised who actually cared for me and those that came which I never expected, suprised me. But thank you everyone for coming, that day really meant alot to me!!

My most beautiful girl and almost leaning towards 11 years, Anna-Marie Venites <3
I don't think this year we had a fight at all and maybe because we're growing up we're becoming more mature as the years go by. All I can say is thank you soo much for always being there for me no matter what, our friendship is truly unique and never change because you are just one amazing girl!! I've had soo much fun with you this year especially our funny moments hehe :) May ching & chong last forever!!! Hhahaha ;) I love you soo much my bonga, I don't know what I'd do without you! I'll probably be a lostie as usual bwahahaa <3

And for those that I call my "bestfriends" you know who you are. I just want to say thank you soo much!! You all are amazing people and just never ever change! You are one of those that I can always rely on especially during my hardest times. Deep down from my heart, I love you all <3 I just wanted to remind you guys that you's all keep me happy and I thank you for that!

I guess since I'm growing up quickly I start to learn more things about being appreciated in life. I have learnt to be happy from what I have and it's really simple. Being loved by my wonderful family especially my beautiful parents, friends, amazing opportunities, living in Australia and living under a shelter. I am grateful! I can never ask for more and one thing which is truly meaningful to me, is being loved by your family and friends!

And why did I mention realisation? Because I have realised alot this year especially about 'friends'. Friends that actually cares for you when you need them during your hardest times and I'm sick of 'come and go' but that's just life!
I've realised that life is wonderful because it gives you all these amazing opportunities out there. Like what my Dad always tells me as usual "If there's an opportunity out there go for it!" And I included that for my Captain speech because I believe that is soo true! From that experience it determined me to do the best of my ability and I ended up getting Vice-Captain, even though I've always dreamed of getting Captain of the School. But hey there's always a reason behind why I got Vice-Captain and just never give up in life!! We all have the right to make the most of it in life and never be afraid to take risks because if we didn't, we might all regret it. At the end of the day, it's all about trying and being determined in life!

Being happy is soo important to me because it keeps me positive in life and I cannot stress enough about being thankful for having such a wonderful family and friends! I just want to thank Allah for everything and especially for all the opportunities! And for giving me such amazing parents. I've had such a great year!! And thank you to everyone who made it even more amazing and if it wasn't for you, it wouldn't be complete at all <3 May 2011 be a great year Inshallah, because it's our year!! BRING IT ON!!!

For the last time of 2010, love always Claudia xoxo

Young Leaders 2010!

I must say this has been the most inspirational conference I have ever been to and I'm thankful to take this opportunity with me, as I learnt so many valuable things that I will definately take on with me in life. One significant moment I will never forget was the talk from Anh Do! His journey from Vietnam to Australia was so inspiring and it actually gave me the tears because sometimes we all think we're the only one, but really we're not. His one person I can look upto through the hardships. I'd have to say one of the most unforgettable moments in my life.

Busy November!

So it's finally November, a very busy month for me! And I miss you my blogspot, so I decided to do a trial for Fb to not go online during school days and I'm doing fine so far hehe. Year 12 has been good I guess, I just basically need to be on top of everything and not long till I graduate! This month I'll be missing one day of school every week due to conferences & etc, that's why I titled this entry as 'Busy November' hahaha I'm loving my free periods when it's suppose to be a 'study period' hahaha! Anna, Lauren and I have been organising the jerseys and that's been going well too! But that was a stressful work! I've decided to get my nickname as "Mz INDONESSA" Hhahaha I just changed one letter from INDONESIA! Quite lame, but I just wanted 'Nessa' on my back LOL! I've already started to get my first hsc assessment tasks which is quite freaky, but Inshallah I'll get through it. I also got promoted to work at the new Supre store at the brand new Westfield Pitt St mall and my first shift there was heaps good! Closing there is soo much better! I do miss my George St people but I can visit them anytime hehe. I also have a formal to attend and YAY I got my dress already! Sometimes I hate being a girl LOL! These days it makes me think alot how I just want to do soo well for the hsc and try my best! I must say, I'm very lucky and fortunate to have my parents because they have been supporting me and their the ones that keep me positive and not to stress about year 12. At the end of the day, I just want to make them proud and show them that I am determined in everything I do. I believe life is beautiful for me, because there are soo many opportunities for all of us! Sometimes there is a reason why we're here. We're very fortunate to get educated because those kids that are starving would die, just to go to school. But realistically, WE can help them and we have it all in our own hands. I promised myself one day, when I get a really good job in the future, I would love to help those unfortunate kids and help them get education. It's pathetic how people can just throw those opportunities away and waste them. It's that precious because life is precious, and every opportunity is precious. Another lesson I learnt is that you don't need those material things to make you happy, cause for me it's all about me and my family being as one happy family. Because at the end of the day, we're always there together no matter what happens and I'd have to say, I am lucky. But as the days go by, I tend to realize more and I've learnt a few lessons here and there. The weird thing is that you only realize after it's gone and you just never know. You never know what to expect but that's life. I'm sick of running to people and caring about them, because maybe they don't even give a shit about me. But that's just me, I care too much for people and I don't like being ignorant. That's just not me. Sometimes the world is even ignorant and selfish, I hate all the bullshit they should just get over it! I hate it how they discriminate people because of their religion or culture and etc. When is this world going to be equal as one. We're all just a human being and where is the love? I know I'm constantly changing topics but cbf lol, and when are you ever going to change? Like fuck it, GET OVER IT MATE! Wish I could say that to your face! Haha I'm so slack, but it's true! Last of all, there is also that one person who's been there for me throughout the hard times, Anna-Marie Venites. I honestly wouldn't know what to do without you my bonga, your amazing girl and you really are beautiful inside and out. If you are reading this which I doubt it, I bet your thinking 'Eww lesbian' HAHAHAHAHAA! But really Anna, THANK YOU! I love you always and remember I'm here, I have your back no matter what xoxo

Damn that was a long post!! :P

On the subject of new start, tomorrow everything will change. I'm going to start year 12 meaning that I'll be starting the hsc and I really don't know what to expect. I'm scared but excited at the same time, I only have one more year of high school and I know I can do it! I do realize that I will have the responsibility of my studies and my other duty as Vice Captain, it hasn't kicked in yet but maybe soon. Inshallah I hope everything goes well in year 12 and that I'm able to handle everything smoothly. I have decided to deactivate my Facebook soon by end of this month, well firstly I wanted to delete my account but that doesn't exist! But I have this plan that I won't go on Facebook during year 12, but maybe only while the holidays are on but that's if I get all my assessments done! I have heard some of my friends saying "But you won't have a social life?" Well I don't need to have a social life over the internet do I? I rather text, call or whatever even though Facebook can be convenient. It seriously is a distraction so I'll just stay away from that haha! And I will try blog more so I can improve my writing!

But these holidays has been pretty good compared to the other ones since I've been productive I guess haha! Went to gym first week, chillin with friends, working, spending quality time with family and getting sick NOT! But I was hoping to loose my voice hahahaha!

Sometimes I feel like I need to be alone, I just want to go far away to a place that is peaceful.

I guess we all need to be aware to remind ourselves to set a good role model to others and for me especially to my little sister.

On our daily lives, I'm sure we all go through this. We treat others nicely to show that we care for them and in return we are treated like shit! But it makes us wonder should we treat them the same way they have treated us? I have learnt a lesson today, Belief after hardship there is always relief. If we do the good thing and in return we may not get what we want, Inshallah something way beyond better will come to us without knowing or expecting it to occur to us. We just never know.

17TH BIRTHDAY BBQ!

I would love to say thank you so much to everyone that came to my BBQ because it means alot to me and I appreciate it so much! I hope you all enjoyed the day and the yummy food there! Basically it was just a nice relaxing day and catching up with friends! I must say big thank you to my Mum and Dad because they made it happen and it was successful! I love you so much Mum and Dad, thank you! Alhamdulillah it was a great weather!




At the start I was quite disappointed though because many of my good friends told me in the last minute that they couldn't make it to my party and it made me upset because I expected them to be there. Especially for the ones who dogged it honestly, for a stupid unreasonable excuse and that just completely turned me down. But I guess I still learnt something from lesson number one that you realize who actually cares for you and who doesn't. But another positive lesson I learnt today is that I realize who I would hold on to my journey as a life time. Those friends that came today was enough for me as a birthday present, which defines the true term of carring. That's why I truly love you all!



Mum, Dad and Peggy (who always think I leave you out LOL!) It was just so nice and carring to have you's around especially and I wouldn't even ask for more! That's why I thank you's for making this happen successfully Alhamdulillah! I'm so proud and lucky to have you all, I truly do adore you oh so much!



And to my other family members, thank you so much for coming and helpinh importantly! Once again without the big help, it wouldn't be as productive haha! But truly thank you so much!



But Alhamdulillah thank you Allah I had a wonderful day spent with my loved ones! Best 17th birthday ever!! <3

Seventeenth birthday!

I had the best, exciting and the most amazing 17th birthday! Honestly my day was filled with happiness, dreams and wishes coming true on the day. Being 17 in Indo is considered as an official young women just like a sweet sixteen! But the main highlight on my birthday was firstly getting knighted as Vice Captain of RGHS! While getting our blazers exhanged with Chay, my friends in the crowd yelled out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA!" and in return I yell back "THANK YOU!" Hhahaha I really thought that was lovely and I looked over to my parents who are sitting down in the front.It was a really nice moment to have them there watching over me and at the same time it was my birthday. I really do thank my parents for everything and it's just unreal how 17 years ago I entered this world.It's unbelievable for me because I've always dreamed something like this to happen, to serve my school and make them proud. As I watch Angela and Chay say their farewell speech, it made me realize that I will be in the same boat as them in exactly one year! It's true how we need to make the most of it in high school and while listening to the girls, I started tearing at the same time. Imagine if I had to do a farewell speech! I would literally cry like a freak! No joke haha! But on the day of my birthday I literally spent my time at school with the SRC girls! We then had the Year 12 SRC farewell party which was organised by the lovely year 10's! They did a fantastic job and the decoration was absoutely creative! So I thank you girls for preparing and putting your effort into this. At the same time it was an emotional ride for me, seeing my favourite year 12 girls leaving the school well more like my big sisters to me. But I thank you girls for everything, you have made me proud and I hope to make you girls proud too! During the party, I had my own little ice cream cake with a candle which they all sang me a birthday song! I wouldn't trade to spend my birthday with anyone else but with these lovely ladies! Then after school I went to chill with the usuals at Maccas and it was also my asik's birthday!! Also along with Jake and Jeni! Hahaha it was even Keven Rudd's birthday too LOL! His cool cause we share the same birthday!I had to rush home and get ready for the Year 12's Graduation night since Izzy and I were mc-ing the event. I really do appreciate Izzy's help, without her I would be lost honestly haha! I really can't sit on the stage still for freaking 2 hours! I made a fool of myself because I couldn't pronounce Angela's surname, but hey I made the audience laugh hahaha! But yeah my birthday was also interesting because I learnt my first lesson, there are main two types of people. The good and the bad, the ones that care and the ones that doesn't give a shit. We shouldn't even care for those who don't even slighty care for us or we shouldn't even bother or waste our time for people like that! I'm sick and tired of this repetition, I wish you were just out of my life! I wish I could stuff some cake on your face haha! Anyways to the point, I would love to say thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and the people that I got to spend my birthday with! Which you made the most of it, I love you all and never change :)

Love always Claudia <3
