for over a week and a half, i forgot my blog existed.

nah, not really D:

just didnt update much.

lol ,last post was on bridge church, *wow that was ages ago.

anyway, last week, our tap water turned yellow. i drank half a cup before mum was like: "WAIT! spit it out now!"
so i spat it out, and i could feel specs of dust in my mouth. yuk. so i got some 2 day old bottled water and rinsed my mouth with it. yuk again.

that disgusting supply of water lasted for 2 hours. D: before that time, i managed to cup a sample of it, (and glad wrapped it) and that sample is still sitting on the kitchen window sill right now. believe it or not, the water is clear! but there is a thin layer of dust that set at the bottom of the cup. eww, and i drank that!


i am happy to say, that Henry and I have made a [p]ledge, to tuck our shirts in and were ties for the rest of this year. :) if we dont, then we get cork-ied once in every limb. now i reckon thats just stoopid, cos who need violence and pain as motivation? lol i was happy just go along with that anyway.


YOU KNOW WHAT? yeh what? i have finally learnt how to kill a mockingbird. :) yes i have finally read the book. what a life time achievement that is :)


[for taekwondo] the stupid Scout group want[ed] their hall back. they tried to take over our wednesday night training session, but then they chickened out, and said, orright, next week, this hall is ours! now i have been wondering why our class wasnt canceled, but instead their meeting was canceled. overall, it is the scout's hall, we're just 'borrowing' it i guess. Daniel suggested that maybe it was the presence of hard-core martial artists that scared them away LOL


and last thing, we are on wikipedia! yepp. thats right. check this out;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakka_people

under the sub heading: '4.2 Hakka in East timor' section. it reads: 

[Hakka People] In East Timor

There was a relatively large and vibrant Hakka community in East Timor before the Indonesian invasion in 1975. According to the local Chinese Timorese association's estimation, the Hakka population in 1975 was estimated to be around 25,000 (including a small minority of other Chinese ethnicity from Macau). During the invasion, many Hakkas were killed. According to a book source, it was estimated that about 700 Hakkas were killed on the first week of invasion in Dili alone. No clear numbers had been recorded since many Hakkas evacuated and escaped to Australia. Recent re-establishment of Hakka associations registered approximately about 2,400 Hakkas remaining (400 families, including part Timorese families) in East Timor.

Now Hakka diaspora can be found in Darwin and spread-out in major cities such as Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne of Australia, Portugal, Macau and small numbers in other parts of the world. They often are highly-educated, and many continue their education in Taiwan or China, while a majority of the younger generation study in Australia. The Australian government took some years to assess their claims to political asylum in order to establish their credentials as genuine refugees and not illegal immigrants, as partially related to the political situation in East Timor during that time. As no Asian country was willing to accept them as residents, nor to grant political asylum to displaced Hakka and other Timorese, they were forced to live as stateless persons for a time. Despite this condition, many Hakkas had become successful, and established restaurant chains, shops, supermarkets, and import operations in Australia. Since the independence of East Timor in 2000, some Hakka families had returned and invested in businesses in the newborn nation.
