Freddie. A less overwhelming and less controlling Tony, actually sort of like Maxxie in terms of character sometimes. The actor (Luke Pasqualino) was hot btw :P
Cook. Supposed to be Chris, well combined with Anwar's homophobia and lechery. Messing up with gangsters are like Sid messing up with that PHD thing? Not so sure... So far the craziest role in this season.
JJ. Sid obviously. Same geeks.
Effy is still Effy and Pandora is still Pandora, nothing much to say here...
Katie. Abby? Almost same slutty.
Emily. Michelle? Almost same miserable.
Can't really find much of the connections other than these so far with characters in the previous skins.
We've yet to meet Thomas but I have a gut feeling that he represents Jal...
So, who's Naomi? I don't see such an isolated person in the previous skins... Wait Sketch? She should not be that hated cos she's done nothing wrong...
And where's Maxxie? Cassie? Anwar anyone?

Choir
Been back to my middle school choir the other day for an event of the departure of the graduating members. it was 8 years since my departure and I know no one in the current choir obviously cos they change members completely every 6 years along with the school. Luckily some of the old members which I know had attended that as well so that I could have someone to talk to.
I am pretty glad to see that I was not the oldest one there. One of the leading voices in my time had gone back to the school as a teacher and to assist the director with the choir. I've seen that the style of the choir have some what changed after seeing the DVD they gave me, from more general and international works into more remote and aboriginal style, especially the addition of Tibetan elements. And I don't see a single Mandarin work through the DVD.
I saw one thing from their performance. The director kept telling the choir to sing with their deepest emotion, well they did seem like they did. Yet I don't think that it was their true emotions cos I don't think I understand all those songs all that good by the time I was like 14. I don't even understand them quite well now when I'm 23. The conclusion is easily drawn here: they act. There is nothing wrong with acting, thing is, you better call an acting an acting instead of 'the truest emotion' as the director do. Of course this does no harm to the choir, on the contrary it adds to the reputation of it, what it does is the harm to the soul of the students. In a simple word, the school teach students to pretend and to lie, for the good of the reputation of the school itself. What will the students do when they grow up? Pretend and lie for the good of the company or country or whatever? They have a decent excuse for wrongdoing.
It was a shame though that some of the old members which I were longing to see didn't come along, but I think we'll make it another time, better before I go back to Australia this time.

Leaving etc.
Not actually that willing, it is always good seeing family back home I know. And I understand it would be a long time after this time I go back that would happen again. Not actually know how long. I can't stop eating in my first dinner home, mum always is the best cook in the world.
Yes the year 2009 is my year of the Ox. And it is a crucial year to China of course. Looking back, from when the Communist party had controlled mainland China from 1949, every ten years there will be some big disaster taking place in China. And the year of 2008 had already set a fantastic background for all that to happen. I was actually bit of worried that I might be blocked out of the border but I got in without a problem which means I'm not actually nasty enough for them to consider arresting me. But there are plenty of examples that China jails democracy fighters and people speak of bad towards the Communist Party.
Another thing to do before leaving an empty house behind would be to clear up the fridge, I actually did this one pretty badly, getting myself an ingestion that I could not sleep the night before departure past midnight while I had to get up at 5AM the next morning to catch the flight, and I still had to get rid of some of the remaining stuff at the last minute.
Well anyway I was tired after such a long day and I really should go to sleep, now.

Looking Back on the Year 2008
The year 2008 slipped away, before I realize it (just like every other year actually, and it usually takes a few days for me to recognize it was another year). The rising sun doesn't seem any different to me on my way back on early in the morning of New Year's Day, every day the sun is new anyway.
During this remarkable year, my rent's been rising for three times and I'm surprised that I still bear to live in the same place... Well if I got the chance in that Homeshare program I will definitely leave here, crap as hell for that sort of rent. But otherwise I don't see myself leaving, mainly due to the trouble of moving all my stuff... (consider the day I step on the earth of Australia with a suitcase, a shoulder bag and a backpack, I think my stuff could well fill up a van now)
During this remarkable year, heaps of new people enter my life, only two important ones though. I would like to thank them, for, everything. I can't imagine a 2008 without you two (doesn't necessarily mean it would be difficult, but obviously the two of you changed me a lot). There are other guys though, people comes and goes, and the best stays. I would always treasure all the friends that kept me in touch for long time.
During this remarkable year, I sort of ended the chaos of my intimate life thanks to you. A distant relationship is hard to sustain as far as I experienced. I didn't hesitate to jump into another one with you though, still hoping that it would work out at last, and last. At least it was not an international one this time.
There are lots of other things happened in the year 2008 outside of me as well, which makes me more aware of the existence of evilness. There will definitely be more of such events taking place in the year 2009 though. And I wish that the devil will be punished soon, we'll see. I signed the Charter 08 on the first day of the year 09 after a bit of struggling, but it's obviously not regretting it.
