I’m really bored…not as in bored bored but as in really bored. Maybe I’m exaggerating but it doesn’t really matter…point is, I’m just bored. So I decided, what the heck might as well write a blog huh?

Today has been pretty interesting, last day of school well for the people who didn’t jig or the people who had tests. My holidays started yesterday so I’m pretty happy about that. So I went to the City today with my mum to buy me a sling bag. Well I actually told her to get me one when she’s in China but she thought might as well get it here considering I might not like the one she buys for me in China. Anyways, the bags were in storage so the person behind the counter told me to come back at around three to pick it up. Didn’t really matter considering I was planning to hang out in the city in the first place.

I had to wait for Kev outside Great Union for him to take me to City Hunter (I’m a City Hunter Virgin). Man I always get this insecure feeling by myself around Galaxy World, cause there’s always these retarded Asians hanging around acting all that, I find it pathetic. Anyways, nothing much to say from here, went to City Hunter and played 2 hours of stuff, namely CS and Warcraft. But man City Hunter was so sophisticated…though I’m sure the net cafe’s in other countries are way better but man this is pretty good for Sydney.

After the two hours of gaming, we went to buy tickets to watch movies. In the end we decided to watch Wedding Crashers which surprisingly I had suggested. Kev and I went to subway for lunch whilst Peter and Dennis (like usual) spent 6 bucks on corn seeds and 4 bucks on syrup, in other words Coke and Popcorn. The prices inside the cinemas are murder, $4.20 for a SMALL frozen coke. It’s so stupid.

Wedding Crashers was an awesome movie. It’s rare these days to walk out of a cinema feeling positive after watching a movie that wasn’t lame or which the trailer wasn’t better than the actual movie itself. Yeah it was great, had everything you could ask for. It sure did get Kelvin excepted. Oh yeah, Kelvin and Jason caught up with us in the cinemas.

So afterwards, I had to walk back to Central to pick up my newly bought bag. By the time I got to Central Station I was able to catch the Hurstville. I had actually planned to catch the Cronulla and hopefully catch up with some people, but considering my chances, I just caught the Hurstville. I didn’t bring my mp3 player however the train ride wasn’t that bad, had great fun listening to an overtly loud conversation occuring behind me.

So that was my day and it has taken me 26 minutes to write up to here.

Anyways, I was chatting to Kev and he brought up a good point.

Everybody has an opinion. Whether you like it or not, everybody has an opinion. When you think nobody will care, someone will care. I find it that the "it’s only my opinion" comeback to be extremely common these days. People express their opinions through blogging too openly and simply some people may not want to read their opinion. Sometimes people may rather prefer to live a life of ignorance and simply not bother with what other people thinks. Its really funny you know, like those people who go around shouting "I don’t care what other people think or say" may be the ones screaming and shouting out their own opinions not knowing that others simply do not give a crap. Everybody wants to speak and be heard and when they can’t be heard they try even harder, scream that much louder, act that much more arrogant and grow that much more stubborn.

Interestingly, this is the case in most cases. Some people only read blogs where others have included their names in it. I mean, I don’t see the point in it. I find it stupid to simply read blogs of which they have included your name. I guess it makes people feel better in a sense, and that’s the magic of blogs too. It can do the exact opposite as well. It can make people feel like shit.

Some people may have a bad day and simply look for an outlet, bitching about whatever whomever they want not considering the consequences of their actions. It feels good at first, releasing all that negative energy for everybody to view on the internet (or those select few) but when somebody who you never expect to read reads it and you find out…it makes you and them feel like shit. They take action and write a counter blog or simply start bitching to others that you bitched about them and, you know how it works, the cycle continues. The winner is simply the one with the most supporters, the thing about bitching is that it doesn’t matter who has the most logical statements, it about the number of supporters standing next to you. What’s the point of believing that Jesus married a "whore" when the people you’re trying to prove it to are all devoted Catholics?! But let’s not go there. I couldn’t think of a better example.

I mean, if you wouldn’t say it to a person’s face, why would you write it down? I don’t know, I might have done it, but who knows, the internet is weird, you can be anyone and everyone but it doesn’t change the real you.

I don’t like changing people’s decisions or opinions these days. If someone doesn’t want to do something don’t force them…no use pining (wrong word here but meh) over someone against their will. It just makes me feel bad forcing someone to do something which they did not want to in the first place. Especially when somebody makes a habit of it…say your friend gives you a punch on the arm everytime you meet, you tell them you don’t like it and then they stop. You might eventually miss it to some extent. That’s just another effort of thinking up an example, may not be the best but who cares right? Anyways, that example may not actually fit in to the main point but you get my drift…I hope. I would rather get a friendly punch simply because it’s never really comfortable living inside your comfort zone.

I’m simply doing this to pass the time. I took like a 2 hour nap so I prob wouldn’t fall asleep if I were to go to sleep now. Might as well write a blog. So yeah, I’m listening to D12′s first album "Devil’s Night" and to tell you the truth its really good. "How Come" was probably the only good song in "D12 World", their second album. I’m also feeling hungry too.

On the topic of food, I don’t think I will ever be the one cooking. Perhaps only things which didn’t contain meat. I don’t know why I just find raw meet naesous. Though the strange thing is, you know those Cooking Shows? I find them boring and something for housewives. However, I can’t help myself watching Jamie Oliver. Perhaps its his background, I think I have a thing for English accent’s, it just sounds so casual yet formal. Anyways, I think it’s he’s casualness that makes his cooking show appealing. At one time I was watching his show everyday and my Dad had actually thought I was into cooking. Food is messy, I rather eat it and not worry about the troubles the chef went into cooking it or the troubles cleaning it after.

This is getting into another one of those critical blogs in which I am again expressing my own opinion hoping it WOULDN’T change another’s opinion, thought, suggestion, idea and whatever other synonymous words you can think of. This is turning into another long blog isn’t it? I can’t help myself. Oh and another thing, I don’t like digging up information. Like when someone doesn’t want to tell you something, that’s fine, you don’t push it any further. Though some people never to take the hint, they simply keep on asking questions after receiving rather vague responses. Though I really can’t control the actions of my blogs can I? I mean it’s going to effect people, despite my intentions. People can’t just read something and not think about it.

Tomorrow is Saturday, sorry if I’m stating the obvious, but sometimes stating the obvious just fills up space and time. On Sunday its the last week of the term of SEC. Next term hopefully everything is going to start afresh. Unfortunately, you know as much as I do, things never happen the way we want it to, that just adds to the mystery and suspense of life doesn’t it? Though it would be good if things actually occurred the way we wanted it to, it’d make life allot easier.

So I’ve been at it for 1hour and 20 minutes. Funny how I can write for so long considering I don’t even like English.

So catch you later.

My mum and bro will be going to China next Sunday. Which means, just my dad, grandma and I. That means I get to have my room all to myself for 3 whole weeks! Wow, wouldn’t that be nice huh? But anyways, my dad is a pretty good cook…when he tries…by that I mean when we have guests over he makes several really nice dishes. However, most of the time, he’s dishes aren’t that spectacular. I guess it gives me more freedom in a sense, though I would like to see what happens if I’m left bymyself of one whole week. Not happening anytime soon.

I don’t really like buying stuff I don’t need. If I can live my life without it, then what’s the point in buying it? I wouldn’t mind another harddrive, to keep my various movies and music, but the negative aspects of it just overrides the positive. It will tend to overheat, requires a power supply, expensive (varies) and other crap…The only positive it that it keeps all my data in one location instead of me having to insert and swap DVDs around. It just saves time off burning stuff, when I can simply drag and drop it onto my harddrive. My current harddrive is only 40 gigs and its running low on space…around 4 gigs left.

I would also like a harddrive walkman (I’m getting obssessive with harrdrives huh?) simply for one reason also. To keep all my music in one location. My current mp3 player is only 512 megs and uses a triple A battary. I would like to have one that runs on lithium ion so I can simply recharge it and not constantly buying battaries or my dad to for that matter. Doesn’t matter, I can live without both of em, I’ve been quiet lucky really, getting stuff without actually demanding for them. So what should I ask for from China? I probably wouldn’t ask for anything technological, perhaps something trivial. Man whatever, year 12 is less than a month away…quiet the scary thought.

Oh I wet to galaxy world with Michael and Hayley (spelling) to Galaxy World today. I played pool with Michael and I lost…can’t believe it. I sunk three of his balls in which is pretty pathetic, of only 1 was accidental. Comeon…who would of thought yeah I had two balls left while he had 4, the odds were for me. I tried getting one of my balls around his ball into the hole but instead it hit his and went in. Another time, I hit the cue at my ball, my ball sunk into the hole but the cue rebounded hit his ball and that also went in. Jesus, it was so unexpected, and considering it was his time playing pool I felt even more humiliated. I’ve only played against three different people…Kelvin, Jack and Michael. I won agast Jack but it was also a close game…I always  have a good start but eventually it comes collapsing down in the end. Doesn’t matter, at least I gain experience. What I found extremely funny is the fact that these two girls on another table finished before us…

I didn’t go to Gu’s today, switched to Fridays with Kev but not sure if I should go this Friday considering I’ve already learnt the stuff they’re going to teach. *sigh* Yeah, I paid for SEC today. Saturday it is…9-12. As long as we’re on the second level, in a natural light inhibited room, I’ll be happy. That and I don’t get this pathetic feeling…Saturday is going to be huge! Wonder if they’re going to have two seperate classes. Probably not, let’s hope the class size is kept to a reasonable level

I watched PayCheck again and it’s pretty interesting one of the topics it brought up which reminded me of a scene in the Matrix. Just to be offtopic for a second, you know what? I feel so special, everybody when they think of Matrix thinks of me…I mean there are others like Linkin Park, rap, fetish (though I’m pretty sure that’s just Sally who has hair fetish )…but still Matrix is the one thing… Haha, I love the Matrix. Okay on topic…the scene where Neo first walks into the Oracle’s kitchen:

What else has been going on? I paid for semi-formal. Let’s hope it’s more interesting than last time. Don’t think anybody is going to invite anybody Too bad Dennis isn’t going…It’s on the second day of school next term and I need some pants…Man I’m so bad with shopping for clothes. How people do it I have no idea.
