seeking greener grass

part of my history

it's funny looking on the discussion of the graduation theme today. i think my year group is a really a split up group beside we have a suck-up student president, we just can't get into one agreement. half of the group wanted that all of us dress as an typical oz (yes, that shorts and that weird looking hat, and of course the oz - oi oi oi stuff. somehow i prefer to come as an aboriginal:P, probs it will be fun having body paint and stuff) while the other group (sambil ngacung) wanted to go as individual. what i notice is that the half that wanted being the oz thang mostly came from australian background while the other group is more multicultural background (most of them are 2nd generation in australia). though our group won the vote, 43 againts 38. somehow i feel this represent the changing in australian society as i'm studying the australian history in history now. even the suggestion that instead of singing waltzing matilda we should rather sing the federation song.



our graduation will be held 31st of october, exact day of hallowen. i'm doing the decoration with jesse and all. i guess with the hallowen theme and different clothes/costume, we'll look like a bunch of party people then some graduating high school kids.
