I'M BAAAAAAAACK

Melbourne was awesome. It's all a blur now but yeah it was sooo much fun. but first things first... ANYTHING BUI AND EMILY SAY ABOUT ME AND MELBOURNE CAMP IS A LIEEEEE. ok now that that's done.. let me share with u kids what REALLY happened at camp.

well yeah the camp was like a collaboration of all Chinese Methodist Youths around Australia. 4 ppl from our youth went - me, Em, Janet and Janet. There was an english side and Chinese (fobs) side. it was pretty much like EMP youth camp except.. I like knew no-one. Except the 3 other girls. So yeah... u end up repeating ur conversations as soon as u talk to someone else. gets tiring though. this is an example of my conversations on the first day of camp.

Someone: What's your name?
Me: Frances. But u can call me France or Francey or Fran or Franny or Frank or Frankie or Frankus or Francine or Francesca or Fanny Dong.
Someone: *blank stare* So Frances, where are you from?
Me: Eight Mile Plains, Brisbane.
Someone: What nationality are u?
Me: Well I was born in Australia, Melbourne actually, but my mum is Cambodian and my Dad is Chinese.
Someone: So what do u do?
Me: Umm..
Someone: Like do u work?
Me: Bahahaha
Someone: ok... so ur studying?
Me: Well no.
Someone: *Thinks 'so ur a bum?'
Me: I just graduated from highskool
Someone: NO WAYYYY...
Me: How old did u think I was?
Someone: 20 or 21
Me: Why is it that whenever I'm in a group of asian strangers they think im older than I am?
Someone: So...what do u want to study?
Me: Bachelor of Business Management at the University of Queensland dual with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology.

ok. now these are my answers to the same questions by the end of camp.

Name? Frances.
From? Bris
Nationality? It's confusing
Work? I'm 17. dun worry, everyone else thinks im old.
Study? Business (topic will end there... dunno why...)

oh and i've been told this camp is like a dating service... married couples met at these camps. but let me tell u.. it's no dating service... everyone already had boyfriends and girlfriends. not that i was lookin or anything. shut up bui.

oh and it's tru that when u dont have something u appriciate it more. never have i wanted to taste the taste of tasteless water so badly. the camp water was yellow and tasted like fish and algae.

oh and i was always hungry at camp. ive finished all my meals *slaps self in face* and they were reasonable meals too. today i got home and my mums like "You havent been sleping have u. ur so skinny!" I have been eating! i tells the tarooth.

oh and my alter ego 'crazy asian photo taker' was unleeshed once again. (refer to myspace)

oh!!! i have to show u this. ok one the very first day i noticed that some ppl at camp look like ppl from EMP.
