Hey I'm Andrew, your average feather-in-his-cap, spring-in-his-step, sneaker-wearing, tongue-twisting, ecstacy-inducing, mind-bending, never-ending, trend-setting, floppy-fringed whatsisname. Lovable at first sight if you see me in the right light. Always willing to give second chances. And a third if you ask nicely enough. Hopelessly romantic and tragically retarded. Such a combination yields unpredictable results. Initially shy, softspoken and quiet. Unabashed, witty and loud after the ice has broken. Proud ympacter, God-seeker, salvation-finder, redemption-searcher. I'm not a WANNABE, I'm a GONNABE. Optimist with a pessimistic edge, like a lollipop coated with glass. Always strive to be perfect, very seldom am. Dreams enough to grow a pair of wings. Realistic enough to tear them up. Swings his moods like a monkey on a rope, but you seldom see the emotions fly. No tears in my eyes don't mean I'm not crying, no red in my eyes don't mean I ain't mad, no smile on my face don't mean I'm not happy, no frown on my brow don't mean I'm not thinking. Music is my drug and art my choice of poison. Performs well under pressure, but won't break under the peer kind. Don't offer me your cash or flash me a badge, your friendship's good enough for me. Break my trust, watch the sparks fly. Not without forgiveness, but definitely human. Instantaneously horrific, gradually unbearable. Wait for the sky to clear up. It'll happen. Self-testimony doesn't bring out the best in anyone, especially me. See other's for THEIR impression.
Toodles.
PLEASE DON'T:
Ask me too many questions.
Try to draw out my personal thoughts. Unless invited.
NEVER try to tell me who or what I am. How the hell would you know better than me?
NEVER EVER insult my religion. Please. It's just something you don't do.
NEVER EVER insult my family. People HAVE gotten hurt for making that mistake.
No racism. It tears this world apart and it hurts people.
Ok can everyone please keep any 'emo' comments to themselves. It's not that I care that I'm being labelled as one but gosh I've heard it so many times and frankly, it's getting quite tiresome
Call me Paul Twohill and I break your face. Grr.

YES! INTERNET!
Expect a really long post people.
A week's worth of it.
First off, I'm just gonna reflect on what I've gained form my stay in the UK.
I think the most obvious change it made was that it tamed me.
Tamed, silenced, humbled... Whatever you wanna call it.
I've learned to lay low and shut up.
Perhaps I've learned this too well.
Someone once asked me what happened to the loud, animated andrew of the past.
I never answered that question.
I suppose...
He's not dead.
That's one thing I'm sure of.
He has not been designated to the past tense yet.
I know that cause I can feel him inside me some times.
He really really wants to get out but something's holding him back.
I want him to surface as well but I can't figure out what's in his way..
Hmm. Maybe one day.
Yeah, I'll make a promise to myself.
That Andrew is gonna make an appearance one day.
Yeah.
I guess I've gotten stronger as well.
Being Chinese in an English community is not easy.
Especially in a boarding school with a few hundred people in it.
You're made to feel inferior.
You face racism.
But you cannot let it get to you.
Just plaster on whatever is hurled at you to create your own little shell.
The more they pile it on, the stronger it becomes.
Sigh.
Well those are the two main things I guess.
Obviously there's the knowledge gained about their culture and all that.
But all that's pretty boring.
Moving onto happier subjects, I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows about a week and a half back.
Finished it the day after I bought it.
And I really liked it!
It's made me see Snape in a completely new light.
I like him more than I did before!
And that means that a certain Ms Chee out there must've been ecstatic when she read it.
Haha.
I'm not sure I liked the ending though.
It seemed just ever so slightly rushed.
Hrum.
Oh, I watched The Order of the Phoenix as well.
To be completely honest, I was slightly disappointed by it.
Especially when they decided to cut out Dumbledore's explanation to Harry.
Hrum.
But I liked what they did with Tonks and Bellatrix.
Looking forward to seeing them in the next film.
Oh and the battle in the Dept. of Mysteries.
Liked the idea of the black/white, ethereal, flying battle thing.
Thought it was quite cool.
Yeah so the Harry Potter front was pretty good.
Then of course meeting up with everyone!
Seeing faces I hadn't seen in a long time.
And going to church!
Gosh I miss PMC so much when I'm away...
Yeah ok I'm gonna end now cause my computers going funny.
Toodles.

Speak up!
Haha just kidding
Anyway here are the rules, actually let's just call 'em guidelines. Rules sound too strict for this space. So here are your GUIDLELINES:
1) Numero uno - Please do respect whatever I've written here. Whatever I post on this blog has a reason behind it and does actually mean something to me. So I just ask that you show a little respect.
2) Mind your manners please! This really actually applies to your LIFE as well. Be polite :)
3) Leading on from point 2, I do not tolerate any forms of discrimination; be it racial, sexual, whatever it is. It is definitely NOT appreciated here. Take it somewhere else.
4) Maturity is a MUST. Please keep all comments mature! Name-calling goes under 'immature' so if you were planning on doing that, please change your mind right now.
5) In the same way that prejudice and discrimination are absolute no-no's. I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding insults directed towards my friends, family and religion. Please do refrain from making offensive remarks about those subjects.
6) SH! It would be nice if you didn't spread whatever I've posted on here hahaha ;D
That aside, enjoy this blog, no matter how frequently, or rather INfrequently I update it. (I am known to go on unannounced 'breaks') Take care, God bless :)
Yours, ever so sincerely, Andyrooroo
