A thousand broken hearts: tragedy of teen campers

The deaths of two teenagers run over by a ute as they camped out after a party had "broke 1000 hearts", says one of their grief-stricken mothers.

Early on Tuesday morning, 19-year-olds Will Dalton-Brown and Eliza Wannan were sleeping beside a ute on a farm near Molong, in central west NSW, after celebrating Australia Day at a gathering of friends.

Police allege a 17-year-old boy reversed over them in his ute as he prepared to leave the Belgravia Road property about 5am.

The injured pair, whose long-time friendship had recently taken a romantic turn, was rushed to hospital, where they died within hours of each other on Wednesday.

Lee Dalton said her son was on the "cusp of life" but now her worst nightmare has been realised.

"The deaths of Will and Eliza broke 1000 hearts on Wednesday - four of them being their parents," she told AAP.

"It's every parent's worst nightmare. For us it has become a reality.

"Will was, and will remain, 19 years and two days old."

Ms Dalton said her son had recently returned to Australia after a gap year in which he spent three months travelling around southern African by himself.

He financed his trip by chopping and selling firewood.

He and Eliza, former students of Orange's Kinross Wolaroi School, were both about to start university courses.

Nedra Burns, a friend of the Wannan family, said Eliza's parents were "absolutely devastated".

Eliza's MySpace page said she was "supposed to be born in the 60s" and loved to laugh at her own jokes and find the good in everyone.

Police took statements from everyone in the area at the time of the tragedy.

The 17-year-old driver was questioned and released pending further inquiries.

Love...

What is Love??

Love is patient

Love is kind

It does not envy

It does not boast

It is not proud

It is not rude

It is not self-seeking

It is not easily angered

It keeps no record of wrongs

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

Love never fails

The Best Job in 2010...

Today, the Specialist Mathematics class was canceled again by our beautiful lecturer, Dr Ng. Perhaps she cant speak because she was not feeling well in our last lesson. Ya.... So, i went to library to do my usual work, read newspaper. I was pretty unlucky today. When i entered the newspaper reading room, my favourite newspaper, Sin Chew Daily was taken by other. While waiting for the newspaper, i read The Star. When i was reading, i found a very interesting article, entitled 'Have a sense of belonging and you'll love your job'. I was shocked to know that the best job in 2010 is actuary, that's what i'm studying now.

Is it really? Therefore, i searched it online. Ya... it's alright. They rated the jobs based on few categories. There are physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook.

The 10 Best job of 2010 is shown:

1. Actuary

2. Software Engineer

3. Computer System Analyst

4. Biologist

5. Historian

6. Mathematician

7. Paralegal Assistant

8. Statistician

9. Accountant

10. Dental Hygienist

Ho... Actuary is the best job. In their survey, It has few physical demands, little stress, a good work environment, high income about RM 287,427 per year and a positive outlook for employment. Actuary, that's my ambition since i was in Form 4. It was not because the income is relatively high and considerable. I'm really interested in mathematics (Not very good of course). I still remember that my mum used my fingers to teach me mathematics during my Year 1. haha... I was quite stupid at that moment.

Ok. Come back to my topic, how to choose an appropriate job for us? Is it based on the salary? No, i don't think so. If you really choose like that, you will very happy at first of course but after few years or even few months, you will realize that it is very bored to you. In my opinion, you must interested in that job. I'm very disagree with somebody said that your interest is not your job. If you are not interested in the job, how can u pay more effort on it? How can you do your job happily and satisfying? Ya... It is not very easy for everyone to find their interested work. However, you should try it first at least. Everybody get the chance. Nobody is able to choose for you. The life is yours. Don't depend on others.

Death 2

I think I like this topic more. Ya… Death again… I’m really interested in this topic. Sometimes, I did think about where will we go after death? Heaven? Hell? Of course, everybody hope to go to heaven. But nobody know where wil we go. Even nobody can confirm the existences of Heaven and Hell. Heaven, is it a very good and wonderful place? Hell, is it the terrorists and a horrible place? You will not know about that until you die.

Today, we attended our very first English lesson for my second semester. Miss Dil introduced the course structure of our second semester to us. One of the important course works is the investigate project. We have to choose a topic for it and search some articles before write the proposal. I felt headache at first to choose topic. After Miss Dil showed us some example, I chose the topic ‘Mercy Killing’. Somebody call it as ‘Euthanasia’. Actually, I feel this topic is quite interesting but I’m afraid that I can’t find the information.

Mercy Killing… Should it legalized? In my opinion, I do agree that mercy killing should be legalized but is under specific conditions. This is because it can reduce the patients’ pain as well as the patients’ family burden.

Sorry, it is very late now. I have to stop here. I have a class at 8.00 a.m. tomorrow. Anyway, I will share some more information about this topic again after I done my proposal.

2010

Well... Today is the fifth day of the year 2010. But do you know how to pronounce 2010 exactly?

2010...

Twenty-ten?

Two thousand and ten?

Ya... Everybody still blur about it. Even the CNN is now finding a standard name for 2010. They want to find a specific name for 2010 so that they can use it in news reports.

But for me, I like twenty-ten. It is easier to pronounce. However, it is not very important to find out the exact pronunciation for 2010. Either 'Twenty-ten' or 'Two thousand and ten' doesn't matter. Language is used to communicate. It is not necessarily to use every exact words for communication. The most important thing is

the understanding of others!

Death

Death...

Death is one of the process in the life. It is the end of the life. Everybody have to pass through it.Nobody can escape it. It is scared for somebody. But for me, it is nothing to scare. Our life is determined when we were born. When are we going to die??? This is not our job, but the God's job.... We do not have the rights to manage it. Ya!!! You can do it so... But not to postpone. You just can make it earlier like commit suicide. If the time is not for you, you are not allowed to enter it.

Let's me prove it:-

In the year 2008, a very surprised and upset thing happened around me. One of my friends was dead in an accident. He was a very clever and hardworking student. He rides motorcycle to school everyday. One day, he felt sick after school. He went to hospital to seek treatment. After that, he rode motorcycle to home himself. In the journey, he met an accident. He was sent to hospital. The doctor declared that his brain was dead but his life still can last for several day. I was very sad. So, i went to the hospital to see his 'last face'. I looked at his whole body. One thing i found that there is nothing happened on his body even a small wound. The only injured was his brain, the most important part of the body. The only cause of his death was the brain. At that moment , i thought that why his brain was injured but not the other part. Perhaps he will not die if his brain does not injured. Luckily, he didn't fetching his cousin at that moment as he usually fetches his cousin back from school everyday.

However, in the July of year 2009, my cousin met an accident at highway. His car was overturned. Surprisingly, he didn't injured at all. I thought that it is a miracle once i saw the car. It is ready for reclamation. But how comes he didn't injured at all? Ya... Everything is depending on luck. It is not the time for him. He can't die at that time. Everything is set up before.

From above, we can know that we can't do anything for death. But one thing and the only thing that we can do is that .......

Enjoy every minutes and seconds in our life.

My mood at this moment

Although my lectures will be start tomorrow, i still at my hometown now. This is because i have to go to see specialist tomorrow morning. Therefore, perhaps i will miss the first 2 lessons of my second semester. Now, i feel very confused. I'm really curious to meet all my friend tomorrow. Actually i started to miss you all since the second day after the holiday started. In contrast, i'm very scared. I'm afraid the feelings we have established before are all gone. Everything have to start again.

Hope everything will run normal tomorrow (-.-)
