June Holidays Part 1 of many

This is an update for the second week of the holidays. On Sunday, I took the plane to Perth, excited and at the same time praying we would not get quarantined when we got back. We arrived at about 3:00 p.m. , got our rental car from Hertz. The Hertz staff asked my father whether he wanted to buy complete insurance to take away the excess (3k Australian$) if there was an accident. The price was too high, so my father said no. We got into the Camry, I installed the GPS and we drove to Seashells Mandurah. When we were getting there, the GPS went wonky, 'cause there were road works, so we got to Seashells only 20 minutes before the reception closed.( 1st day )

The next day, we went on a cruise in a private boat, organised by BMW. It was really cool. We cruised from Perth to Roddnest island, seeing all sorts of marine life along the way. We stopped at Roddnest island, had lunch, and went to see the seals. There was a whole pack of them! Before long, the 6hr cruise ended, and we returned to Mandurah. ( 2nd Day )

My Favourite Place

My favourite place is at home, as there is everything I need is there. I can use the computer, play XBox, do basically whatever I want.

Creativity

Creativity is inborn, but everyone has a certain measure of it and it can be nurtured. There is no such thing as a person with no creativity, just that they do not realise it. And they may have creativity in other aspects, other than art, for example, music. HOWEVER, some people cannot bring out their creativity without the help of someone and a good opportunity , and need special people to bring out the creativity in them.

Courtesy

Well, I agree with Mrs Tay, courtesy is seriously lacking in society. The truth is, where courtesy is emphasised on the most, there is the least amount of courtesy. I am talking about the schools. Think about it. The teachers keep telling us to greet the cleaners, greet teachers and visitors, but nobody seems to do it! But why? It's because people are not bothered. Again: Why? It's just like dangling a large carrot in front of the donkey to get it to move. You don't put the carrot there, it doesn't move. It's the same thing in life. Humans are motivated to do things when they are rewarded for doing it. Real courtesy, to me, means that the action comes from the heart, not the brain! Why do we have to be taught to be courteous? Greeting the cleaner just shows respect and that you treat him or her as an equal! Weren't humans created as equals? I think that courtesy begins at home, and that we should all think clearly about how we treat others. Then we realise that courtesy should go without saying, it should be natural.

March Holidays

The March holidays were enjoyable but WAY TOO short. First few days were the only chance I had to play computer games. Then on Wednesday, I played 18 hole golf at Keppel, the the next day left for Malaysia, then on Friday I played 18 hole golf again at Legends. Very tiring. Overall, the BEST day was when Derek, Jazli and Trevor came over to my house to do the English project. It was 2hrs of work, 3hrs of play. That rocked!

Is It Possible To Love An Object more than your family?

No, I do not think so. Even if a person THINKS he loves an object more than his family, if it is a life-and-death situation, the person would probably choose his family. (Notice the word probably) The pressure of having a situation like that either makes you do something blatantly worng or right. I said probably, as there is still a chance that the person is pure evil, born fundamentally evil or hates his family, then they choose the object.
For example, take the character Gollum from the Lord Of The Rings. The ring "possesed" him and he loved it so much, that in the end, he murdred his friend to get it.
Then comes the question, "Are people born fundamentally good, neutral or bad?" In my opinion, people are born mostly fundamentally neutral. It depends on who they associate with. If they associate with evil people, they become evil. If they associate with good people, they become good.
However,in my opinion, a small number of people are born fundamentally good, or fundamentally evil. These people will remain good or bad for the rest of their lives, and nobody can influence them. That is what I think. Share your thoughts on whether people are born fundamentally good, bad or neutral.
Actually, I have been thinking: "We all say that most people will choose the person" but that is because we are well loved and taken care of by our family, but what happens if the person was not well loved and taken care of? THEN the person might choose the item. Or take a drug addict. The drugs or his family? He would probably choose the drugs. He is an addict. He "needs" the drugs.(or so he thinks)

The Current Thoughts In My Mind

The March Holidays have started! I always wish that the holidays are longer. How about term time becoming holiday time and vice-versa? Then we would only have 12 weeks of term and 40 weeks of holiday! During that long period of time, I would like to visit many countries and re-visit the countries I have visited. I would like to visit Alaska to view at the ice-caps before they melt, visit the Maldives(again) and steer the speedboat, which I was allowed to do once, when I was very young, visit Spain and Germany for the Black Forest, visit Switzerland for skiing and sledding, visit Nigara Falls and the Rocky Mountains, re-visit the U.K., re-visit Australia,re-visit Japan and have a shopping spree, re-visit America and eat ice-cream during winter(which makes me sound crazy but I have done it before), ski, sled..... there is an uncountable number of things I want to do.
I want to have time to soak in the bath for an ultra long time, play computer games, read WITHOUT disturbance, blog...... I wish that people could live in peace and be immortal...
However, WHY, oh WHY, do we always have to go back to reality???
