B positive
Apr 28th
Well, my donar card arrived. Apparently I’m B positve. I actually laughed when I saw it. I guess I should be more positive, especially lately. Like usually, it weighs up pretty evenly, but with the assessments and stuff, I’m feeling the pressure. It’s not like it’s my first assessment ever but nobody can really get used to doing assessments.
Another thing I discovered was that my eyesight is still 50/50. I think it was 50/50 couple of years ago when I first checked them out.
If I were to get into any medical profession I’ll be an optometrist. Optometrists are probably my favourite area of medical related career type. On the bottom of the list is probably dentistry. I hate dentists. Okay fine, that’s a bit blunt. I don’t hate dentists. I hate going to the dentist. Haven’t been to one in ages and hopefully I won’t need to. I know I’m suppose to go twice a year but you know screw it. Haven’t been to one for like 2 years now I think. My teeth are still the same.
You know this sucks. Previous boycotting MSN periods were all during school terms so I could get to see and talk to friends during the day. Now it’s like no social interaction whatsoever. *sigh* It’s so easy to just give up you know. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
I’m gonna go on MSN on Sunday night probably just to let out some air.
My studies are all over the place. I think I’ve finally got my 4U maths settled. Physics is just lame. When I think that I’ve got everything covered, another area crops up. I still need to work on my Economics, memorise heaps of stuff. As for English, I need to write up the feature article and what not. I know it’s a bit late but seriously, when it comes to English I get sorta overconfident despite the fact that I’m not that good.
I always tell myself to study like a bitch before assessments but when it comes to the actual studying I slack off, when I get my shitty results, I question myself why I didn’t study as hard as I should have and promise to study harder next time. *sigh* Sooner or later I’ll run out of "next times".
I don’t bother hoping for anything these days. It’s better to be just spontaneous. "You wanna go out?" "Sure, let’s go". Done. Simple. Most of the time, it’s false hope anyways. But then again, what other hope are there? There’s only false hope. You hope for something to happen knowing that it won’t. If you knew it would happen then it wouldn’t be hope then would it?
*sigh*
Another one of my rants.
Cause sometimes you just feel tired.
You feel weak.
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you,
try ta find that inner strength and just pull that shit out of you,
and get that motivation to not give up,
and not be a quitter,
no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
You think you know but you don’t
Apr 25th
I was watching House the other day or more specifically episode 13, "Cursed". The bit which got my attention was when Chase began rambling on about not getting hurt as much if you just don’t care.
Chase: (Talking about his dad) You don’t expect him to turn up to your football match…no disappointments. Don’t expect him to call on your birthday, don’t expect to see him for month…no disappointments.
Maybe David Shore has been reading my blog
I remember something Kev told me a while ago regarding my blog.
[12:12:39 AM] kev: oh yea, I’ll be sure to read up on your encounter with that hooker when I floss
[12:12:53 AM] kev: good place for entertainment
[12:12:56 AM] John: hahahahaha
[12:12:57 AM] John: man…
[12:13:12 AM] kev: it really is quite interesting, your life
[12:13:23 AM] kev: you do tend to focus on the little things
[12:12:53 AM] kev: good place for entertainment
[12:12:56 AM] John: hahahahaha
[12:12:57 AM] John: man…
[12:13:12 AM] kev: it really is quite interesting, your life
[12:13:23 AM] kev: you do tend to focus on the little things
I would hardly call my life interesting. It’s not hard making your life SEEM interesting though that doesn’t mean I’ve been trying. I’m always surprised when people say that they’ve literally "rofled" when reading my blog. It’s good to know that I’m making some people laugh. I guess I get satisfaction from two main things. Fixing people’s computer related problems and making people laugh. I wouldn’t classify myself as the "funny man" but when I do make people laugh it feels good. Well I guess the grass is always greener. There will always be somebody better.
I’ve realised something lately. I’ve been rather paradoxical with my comments lately. Like you know how when somebody gives you a response and you laugh thinking its a joke but then when you think about it your like "wait…was he really joking or telling the truth?". Yeah, I’ve been giving a couple of those lately. And I tend to stop and ask myself "Wait…was I joking or was that the truth made to look like a joke?" I don’t know.
Well, I’ve been going to the library to study lately, I spent 3 hours straight yesterday. 1.5 hours the day before and what not.
The day before was interesting. Parents were suppose to be back but said that they can’t make it and would have to make a detour to Melbourne and arrive the next morning. Kelvin called me up to go to the city at like 12. I wasn’t planning to go the night before I don’t know, everything inside just went "Go". So I did and went off to city. Well inevitably we went to K. My first. Not sure about Kelvin but yeah. I looked for some Eminem Songs…and found two. One was Without Me and the other was some random song not even by Eminem! I was outraged.
Another thing I was pissed about was the fact that it was some random music video, the lyrics weren’t even right and the thing was the song wasn’t even sung by Eminem!!! But we did have fun nevertheless. Time went by extraordinarily fast. I sang "All Rise" and "Dilemma" that was about it. The other people…namely Kelvin and Diana were singing asian songs. For a small moment I was regretting not knowing any Chinese. After K, we dispersed and half the girls went to do their "stuff" whilst we headed for Darling Harbour. Got to Darling Harbour went to the toilet and left for Myer. Yes…how very unproductive. After Myer, another left…(I don’t really feel like naming any names…not in the mood) so the three of us went to Hyde Park and sat down and began talking. Well it was mostly Kelvin doing all the talking. I just sat there, making random comments every now and then. After a while we all headed back home. Got back at about 6.
Parents came back yesterday. Too bad my mum left for China today. Saw her for like 3 hours or so. I think she was talking to me this morning but I can’t remember. At least I have my bro to hug again
I also went to Physics tutoring today. To some primary school in Hurstville. We had to sit in those Primary School chairs and yeah…not very good. I was also surprised to see NON asians there. There were like 3 of them. In total there were 9 including me. 7 of which I think goes to tech. The other dude was new like me so I have no idea. It’s okay I guess. Though that’s what I say about everything. We’re actually working through the syllabus which is good so there’s that sense of coordination and what not. Oh yeah, no girls = no distractions.
Oh yeah…I’ve boycotted MSN (along with some other things *wink*) so I guess I won’t be seeing some people online for like 3 weeks? Probably 4 weeks for some.
Well it’s day two and I’m doing fine. I have House to get me through the boredoms. You can’t really expect me to study 8 hours a day do you? Well I’m gonna go polish up several English essays after I’m done with this.
I’d better go now. Grab myself something to eat and work on English and perhaps a bit of Economics.
My current favourite song is "The Hard Way" by Fort Minor. I can’t believe they cut the song from the original album. Well if you can be bothered download it and give it a listen. You probably won’t like it but meh since when did I care about you not liking my music?
The things you think about in the shower
Apr 21st
7:30 – Alarm rings…*snooze*
7:45 – Alarm rings again…*snooze*
8:00 – Alarm rings again
8:30 – I got up
9:00 – Finishes breakfast and brushing teeth
9-12 – Does 4U Maths *gets around 8 questions done* (those were questions with parts…not individual questions)
12:00 – Heads off to town for lunch
12-12:30 – Consumes a footlong chicken fillet sub and sees Fred walk past the window…we acknowledge each other
12:30 – Goes to Gloria Jeas to buy a large Creme Brulee (thanks to Henry, probably the only thing they have that I KNOW that I like…haven’t tried anything else and wasn’t planning to today)
12:48 – Arrives home
12:50 – 1:30 – Watches House
1:30 – 2:30 – I bummed around
(don’t know the order of the above two…just mix and match)
3:00 – Continues working on maths (gets around 4 questions done) [hehe...where did that 30 minutes go?]
5:00 – Foruming…googling…outposting…neowining…etc
6:10 – 6:50 – Housed…again
7:00 – Made myself dinner (instant noodles and two eggs)
7:10 – Ate food whilst watching house
8:10 – Shower
8:30 – Sitting here typing out this blog
In the shower you tend to think stuff (as you do) and I was thinking.
I was just thinking about the events that has occured lately…and I began going up the levels to see where it all started. Like I knew how it began and the present state but its the things in between which are all muddled up. Keeps reminding me of the butterfly effect.
I mean…do things happen for a reason? or do they happen because we want it to? But things happen which are pure chance and you don’t know its happening and only realise after its happened.
I don’t think I regret any of the things that has happened…I mean I’m still alive aren’t I? The only time when you should regret something is when your dead and by then its usually too late to change anything. You watch movies and you see people dying and saying how they got no regrets…I reckon it’s all bullshit.
I think I’m managing my time pretty well. Though I am sorta jealous of the fact that my parents and bro are having the time of their lives in Fiji. I was talking to my dad over MSN and yeah I asked him what there were doing and he lsited all these things like scuba diving, snorkelling, pedal boating, fishing, swimming etc etc. I guess all the things you would do on an island. Tomorrow they’re gonna go on a shopping thingo.
Anyways, I’ve always thought of myself to be independent. I can survive on my own. Though my cooking skills aren’t that great I still can survive on them. It’s better to know how to cook something than not knowing how to cook anything and simply relying on take away.
…I told you msn is distracting! I should have finsihed this blog ages ago but MSN has kept me away.
Argh well, I probably didn’t write down everything that I thought should be written down but I’m gonna publish this anway.
Laters
I feel lonely…
Apr 20th
This will be another recap blog. If you don’t want to read it…don’t. If you’re bored out of your wits…fell free to continue. (I’m listening to S.H.E. at the moment just so you should know)
Well let’s see, I woke up at 8am feeling all excited. Too excited to go back to sleep. So I got up and did my usual stuff. I then began packing everything…pumped up the basketball, got out my tennis racquet which has been sitting there collecting dust for the past 3 years. I also grabbed 4 cans of coke and threw em in my bag just in case nobody bruoght water. I was planning to do 2 hours of work before heading off but I just ended up sitting aruond waiting. My mum saw me and was like "Go do some work! Are you that excited for today?!"
Two reasons.
1. Parents are out to Fiji for 4 days taking James with them (mentioned previously)
2. Having my citizenship ceremony
3. Friends coming over to accompany me
Wait that’s three reasons. But I guess the third is the one I’m all hyped up about.
So anyways…I’ve been going through hell trying to get the things organised. I don’t want to sound stereotypical but girls just make things A LOT harder. I got Kevin, Kelvin, Jason and Richard to come. No problems there. It was all smooth sailing. But yeah…when getting girls into the equation it just goes off balance and I tried desperately to get the equation balanced. One of the easiest way of getting it to balance is take out everything so you end up having 0 = 0. Simple. Though I probably didn’t want it to turn out that way. Parental issues…location issues…time issues…when that all adds up it becomes one messy ass equation which is hard or impossible to satisfy. Though I’m sure it’ll be the same thing on the otherside…getting guys to join an outing will too complicate things in a different way. Just to get some things clear…my idea of rape is getting you to watch the Matrix Trilogy with me. Yep. Don’t be too afraid now.
Note: That analogy was created by Jason
I’ll see myself using that wisely in the future.
So yep…my parents and bro left at about 10:15. Said our goodbyes and off they went. I went inside and got on the comp. I left at like 10:25 cause I wanted to make some stops to various other places. I first went to the council building to make sure that its the right one.
I then proceded to King’s Chef (Chinese Restaraunt) to check if its open and if it is make a booking just incase there isn’t room that night. It was closed and doesn’t open until 11 so I thought "Argh well, we’ll see what happens".
I headed off to Video Ezy to check up on some new releases. Didn’t see any movies which were appealing but I thought they could pick out a movie later. It was around 10:40 by then and Kev and Diana both said that they were going to be there around that time. Yes…I too was shocked when she said she was coming.
So I walked up to the gates and saw those people-people. Like those guys you see on streets trying to promote something by talking to you. Inevitably one of them started a conversation. I was thining "Hmm…you have plenty of time…might as well get a bit more social and pass some time"
Philo looking chick: You going to play tennis?
Me: Yep
PLC: How good are you?
Me: Um…I don’t play tennis, just meeting up with some friends to have some fun.
PLC: So a beginner yeah?
Me: I don’t play tennis…just gonna hang with some friends.
PLC: A beginner
Me: Okay
PLC: So how old are you?
Me: 17
PLC: Enjoying your holidays?
Me: Yeah…been studying for assessments you know…
PLC: Oh I see
*rambles on a bit more*
Me: So what are you guys doing here?
PLC: Oh we’re just doing some promotion *holds out her identification below her chest which I picked up as ‘Save the childen’"
Me: I see
PLC: Well you have a nice day! Bye bye.
Me: Well…I’m just gonna be here waiting for friends…
PLC: *awkward laugh* Okay *walks away*
She was nice. Very nice.
Anyways…then I had the tedios job of wandering around. Aimlessly. And I can’t really wait any further since I’ll be seeing her around and it’ll be awkward. For the first time I didn’t mind talking to these people-people. It would be good to pass the time. Good to pass the time when you have someone to talk to.
So then I saw the opportunity to walk out and walk towards the balcony and wait there. Enjoy the view and yeah…
So then out of nowhere…I see Diana walking up to me. Said that she wanted to buy some fruit for breakfast so I led her to a fruit shop. On our way there we met Richard. Which was quiet coincidental. Went down to Eve’s Apple (grocery shop) and she took a look at the bananas and thought there were too crap. Then as we were about to go up we saw Kevin coming down the stairs. Rather coincidental as well. So then we went back up to wait for Jason with Diana at the same time whinging about not having eaten breakfast and suggesting that we go back to our place to get her breakfast…I suggested she go to Woolies to buy a banana and off she went. She came back complaining about the price of ONE banana costing 70cents. That’s karma for you…I guess the cyclone did affect us in some way or another. But who would’ve thought…a girl eating a banana…in public…infront of a bunch of guys.
After a while the Philo looking chick came up to us again.
PLC: So where are you guys going to play?
Me: Cook
PLC: Where?
Me: James Cook…it’s on princess Highway
PLC: *makes face* Isn’t that far away?
Me: Oh no…not really…it’s only over there *points*
*Rambles on*
PLC: I did blah blah blah and ballet…DON’T do ballet!!! It makes your thighs really *something* and it’ll ruin your legs so you can’t wear skirts. *begins making hand gestures at her thigh whilst all the guys are watching and girls
*
Diana: I thought it gives you good posture.
At that moment I’m just thinking "Damn…I wouldn’t mind seeing you in a skirt" *directed at the promotion chick*
Hehe…man it’s so early in the morning and I was having those thoughts. But yes eventually she went away again.
Richard called Jase and it turned out he’s at Redfern so we went to Video Ezy and decided to rent Flight Plan. Came back to the gates and coincidentally we saw Jason arriving. Awesome timing.
We then proceeded to Cook for some basketball and tennis.
Well, first off we just shot randomly but then it developed into having a game of around the world. Diana was actually leading for like half the time…then Jason overtook her and I overtook both of them. The behind the backboard shot was a breeze…only took two tries
After that we had a game…2 vs 3. Richard and I verse the rest. That was a tiring game. I haven’t exercised that vigorously ever and it just took everything out of me. Plus, since I missed one season of basketball I didn’t really know what to do or how to play. I always sucked at these sort of things and much prefer plain old shooting.
After that we took a rest and I got out my coke. Everybody elase brought water surprisingly except for Diana so I handed her a can of coke which she spilt on my head…intentionally. At first I thought it was water but when I lifted my head I saw her with her evil grin and a coke can above my head. WTF?! Seriously. I then had to get some water from Kev and cleaned myself up.
Up next…tennis. It looks so damn easy on television!!! I haven’t played tennis in like 4 years so I was a little rusty
Didn’t know how to hit the ball so I ended up smashing the ball over the fence and down the hill. Not good. Though I did have my moment…like missing a smash and the turning around to hit the ball again as it bounced winning the point. That was n00b skill to the max. Can’t get any better than that.
After a while of tennis we decided to head off to my place. Discovered that I had 5 miss calls from Kelvin and 1 message from my Dad telling me that the flight wad delayed.
As I was going through the message Kelvin called…coincidence again. I picked up and yeah explained why I couldn’t pick up and talked about stuff. Yes stuff. As we were walking back Jason made a rather hilarious comment which I think only Richard and I heard…he said "She’s like a 4 year old in a 12 year old’s body"
We headed over to my place and I grabbed some cokes for them and they got into more comfortable clothing and I grabbed a brush for Diana who couldn’t believe the fact that us guys did not carry a brush with us to brush our hair after we sweat.
Got into a game of poker which I played couple of hands before Kelvin began rining the bell to my house. I was surprised that he found his way to my place. I have pretty bad coordination skills and if I have somebody lead me somewhere I would have no idea how to get there by myself the next time unless I try extremely hard to remember. If I was by myself and had a map I can get anywhere and get there the second time by myself without a map.
So yes we decided to order pizza. We orderd Supersupreme with no olives, bbq meat, double bacon cheese burger and bbq chicken. After I ordered it I was thinking "Oh my god…soooo much meat!"
I had the tedious task of walking over to the store to pick it up as my parents were complaining that it would cost too much to have it delivered…plus I had coupons. I walked there and met a co-worker who is now assistant manager. I reckon she failed her HSC and now has a full time job at Pizza Hut. When i got there I was like…
Me: Hi
Vesna: Hi
*silence*
Me: John…do you remember me?
Vesna: Yes…
Me: um…I ordered pizza *points*
Vesna: Oh is that yours? So how are you?
Me: Good…since when did you change your name (Her badge had a random name)
Vesna: Oh I can’t find my badge so I’m using this one…that’ll be 23.50
Me: Ah i see *hands over money*
Vesna: Enjoy…cya
Me: Thanks
That was one awkward conversation. Lets hope I don’t experience it again.
So I got my pizza and walked back to my house.
When they opened the pizza box all I could here is disses regarding how the pizzas were made. Yes the pizzas were made pretty badly…I mean it’s lunchtime…they should be making awesome pizzas since nobody is there buying anything. Well in the end they left around 1 whole pizza. I refuse to eat pizza for the rest of my day by myself. I will throw them out one day. There’s just soo much pizza one could take.
During and after we just had this random conversations which were just random. I.E. discussing the poor nature of old Shanghai amongst other things which caused Diana to be bored out of her wits.
After that we went out to the backyard and began shooting random hoops. We did this until it was time for my ceremony. Kelvin took off his shirt which was rather disturbing and was constantly complaining about being itchy. One hilarious incident was this:
Kelvin: Mr Storey was like "I hate pussy…wait let me rephrase…I love pussy…I hate pussycats."
Diana: *innocently* What’s pussy?
I dunno, all I can remember is the fact that we constantly paid out Diana regarding her height. My red ball is also next door which nobody could be bothered to get. I guess it’ll be lost forever.
So at around 5:25 I began going to be room and began changing. We left the house and headed for the council…we were more than half way there until I realised that I left the invitation letter at home!!! I told them to go first as I ran back. I ran all the way home got my letter and ran all the way back. I was sweating like a pig…literally. I was rushing as I was afraid that they won’t accept anybody afet 5:45. When we got there the line was sooo long. We lined up as I guess we bagged out Diana’s height even more. We should stop but its just controllable.
As we got there I got my seat whilst they got the audience seating. I was left with nothing to do with 30 minutes so I went to sleep. I think I have mastered the ability to close my eyes and doze off in any position. I just closed my eyes and would have fallen asleep if given time. Anyways, the Mayor did his stuff…gave out certificates…and Kelvin was filiming me randomly and I need to get that off him!!! The ceremony was okay…wasn’t too boring only last 30 minutes so that was pretty good.
So yeah I became Australian citizen on 19th of April 2006.
When we left the place it was around 7:15? So we headed off to dinner at King’s Chef.
Got a table of 6 and we started ordering food. I as usual have no idea on what to order when it comes to food. Kelvin was the food guy so yeah. If I was there by myself or something I would’ve got pipis. Man I love pipis
Okay anyways, some table conversations involved "Chef’s surprise…bukkake style" and "how long was the record…in days" I’ll let you work out the latter. This was the first time I went to a proper restaraunt by myself without having any parents around. It felt pretty good. When I entered the place this kid was giving me the eye, I don’t know why.
So anyways guess what we were discussing when the first dish came up…yep…food. I was like "We have the food right in front of us…why do we need to discuss it?! Just eat the damn thing!"
But I guess its an asian habit to discuss food before consuming it…just to get it out of their system. Man I can smell the food right now…I’m feeling hungry. After a while when most of the dishes have been consumed…I suggested for Kelvin to get out his camera and take some pics…like an asian. And for the record I was not planning to take picstures of the dishes…that’s just taking it too far. So I had the trouble of working the camera, I’ve never had a digital camera for myself so it was rather difficult for me to get my hands around it. We took pics of everybody and I’ll post them up when I actually get them from Kelvin
We splitted the bill and went off to my place. Kev was in a rush to get home so we were ahead of the crowd…he soon got back home got all his stuff and left to catch a train. The others went into the living room where we decided to watch "The Longest Yard". Like damn it…why did we rent Flightplan in the first place?! Now I have to go and return it today!!! Plus I won’t have time to watch it…and since its out on DVD I could just download it…rage!!! Ah well, no matter.
Well Diana was the first to leave at 9. Ricarhd followed at 10 and the Jase and Kelvin left at 10:15(?). After they left I had the liberty of cleaning up all the stuff. By clean I mean putting away all the stuff. I didn’t bother wiping the table or anything or cleaning the glasses. The place was pretty clean so I’m pretty happy with that.
I went online…had a small chat…felt tired and itchy…due to all the sweat so I took a shower and again went online. Began writing this blog until like 12:30 until I realised it was going to take way too long so I drafted it and went to sleep. Don’t know how long it took me to fall asleep.
Woke up at 10 this morning. Wiped down the table…brushed my teeth and I was craving for an apple. So I grabbed a granny smith and began eating it. That was pretty much my breakfast. So now I’m just finishing off this damn long blog.
Remember…bukkake is Japanese bread soaked in pussy juice. But what on earth is pussy?!
After lunch I’ll go back to studying for English or something. Work work. Cannot screw up this assessments. Argh!!! Why can’t it just be all over!!!
Toodles.
Edit: Look like its pizza for lunch for me today -_-
I remember…
Apr 18th
Now what was I doing this time last year? Probably doing minimal work and talking to Siobhan. I remember the days, I guess she is one of the reasons I began blogging so frequently. This was a good time last year.
This year however…has been so hectic. Let’s see we’ve got assessments right after holidays. It doesn’t matter that much but still…just the fact that its right after the holidays sucks.
Parents are off to Fiji tomorrow taking James with them. So it’s pretty much me, myself and I for 3 days. They gave me some spending money for food etc…which I shall be spending responsibly.
This morning…I haven’t stopped doing stuff. So much for getting up at 8 everyday. I get up at 9 these days…and the fact that I’ve been going to sleep at 12:30 everyday doesn’t really help. I’ll try getting up at 8 tomorrow and get some work done.
So anyways, I got up at 9 and had a small breakfast. I then went into the laundry room to fetch the vacuum cleaner and vacuum cleaned the entire house. I have never vacuume cleaned so clean in my entire life. It took me 1 whole hour. Normally it takes half that time. So after vacuum cleaning…I got out a mop and a bucket of hot water and began mopping the house down. That took 30 minutes. I have never cleaned sooo much in my entire life.
Yesterday I also rearranged my desk for like the first time…ever. My desk has been the way it is for as long as I can remember…since Year 7 probably. The usual arrangement is lamp. wooden box, cd rack, piggy bank, stereo. A box of tissue is usually at either end of the table. Its funny how I actually use EVERYTHING that I made in DT back in Year 7 and 8. Rather amazing. Except for the door stop of course…don’t know where that went. So anyways…I was just staring at my incredibly messy desk and thinking "How on Earth did my desk get this messy? It used to be always neat and tidy!!!"
I looked at the CD rack and found that it just turned into a dust magnet. I never use it…the cds on it I never touch…so I decided to put it away in my draw. I opened my draw and got out all my DVDs and picked the one’s I like and moved the rest into the TV cabinet. So then my desk was missing a CD rack. It looked really empty so I got a book holder thingo attached it to one side and began alligning textbooks and notebooks. So now my desk is neat and tidy after like several years.
I feel happy now. I like it when things are neat and tidy.
So now I’ve just wasted around 5 minutes of your time rambling about something you don’t care about. Though it makes me wonder why people are reading something they don’t care about.
I like my minimalistic blog. No photoalbum, no random lists, no music list…nothing. Just my profile, my blog and the archive.
I actually found myself reading the archive a while ago…going through my older blogs. As I glance through them…they don’t seem that long ago. I guess that’s what happens when you write things down.
I think I’ll try not going on MSN until 10 tonight. If somebody has something important to say they can just call me. Yes. That’s it, I’ll live up to my word.
I’ll just go now.
Who wants some good old urea cream?
Apr 16th
I really wanted to blog about some things which happened this week but I just find it really lame and end up closing the window. Things to blog include…donating blood, Diana’s Birthday, jigging cross country, a quiet gu’s lesson and some other random rambles. But I’ll guess I’ll just focus on today for the moment.
Today was one of those moments where you’re not sure of the outcomes of the day. It could go bad…very bad or it could go good…very good. I was actually pretty worried at certain times…thinking up the numerous number of ways the day could go bad. I’m sorta pessimistic when it comes to these things. This thing being going out with friends and people who I have little clue is. Nobody in the group knew EVERYBODY. You’d think that the one who hosted this would know everybody but that proved to be false. I still have a hard time grasping the fact that everybody knew me in some way or form, good or bad, barbeque or no barbeque, whatever works you know?
So anyways basically here’s what happened in my perspective. Norla’s parents hosted a dinner party inviting 3 families along. Norla decided to invite the "kids" and some of her friends along to watch a movie and hang in the city. Kelvin and Jason came along as well (that’s another story).
So anways…I got to Townhall at 10am cause Kelvin said 10am who failed to alert me of the changes. I thought we were gonna meet at 10 and then meet Jason at 10:30. So yeah…I ended up having breaky by myself at Maccas…and then bummed around…went to Utopia and checked the times…didn’t feel bored at all. Met up with Kelvin, played three games of pool, one game of Time Crisis and one game of House of the Dead. I sucked at all three. I think I’ve long lost my gaming genes. I remember the days where I could grasp any game in like couple of minutes…but after being deprived for so long nothing works.
So yeah…Jason came so we went to QVB for reasons unknown apart to waste 20 minutes. Also went to Myer and pretty much just "window shopped". Arrived at the Cinema at 12:05 and expected them NOT to be there but surprisingly they were all united together in a small group bar a couple of people. So I’m proud to announce that I’ve remembered all the people’s names which were there. *feels proud*
Ended up watching V for Vendetta and oh my…that was an awesome movie. By awesome as in I could actually buy the dvd. I will buy the DVD! The wachowskis wrote the screenplay and they are legends. You can tell that it’s the work of Wachowskis through the first big speech of V. It wasn’t another of those loud dumb action movies but yeah, it was good and I recommend it. Any movie I recommend is worth watching at least once
I did something really really stupid. I had my ticket in my hand and I scrunched it up and threw it in the bin. They changed the admission place so the food thingo was outside. I ran to the one outside the second floor to buy frozen coke but they didn’t have any, I ran down to realise that my ticket is in the bin and wouldn’t want to risk exiting and not being able to come back in. So I ended up running back up stairs and going back to my seat…looking like a retard. What was even more stupid was the fact that William bought me popcorn (which I gave to girls behind me) and I drink which I didn’t know about. I thought it was his but then I think him and his bro shared a drink. So by the end of the movie I had a full large bottle of coke! Argh! Soo stupid. And Jason got jipped of his Italian BLT…didn’t have any salad in it
Man I really hate writing blogs which recap my day. I’ve stopped for a long time but today just feels like one of those times where writing is inevitable.
Anyways I as usual began mocking Diana regarding her size, I think everbody at one time during the outing was mocking her height
Haha, it’s hilarious seeing her trying to be angry but it just doesn’t work.
After the movie we were discussing on what to do. Ended up going to galaxy world. Jase and Kelv had a pool game going and I reckon the audience was as big as it’ll ever get. Everbody was watching until Diana say the opportunity to go play "racing cars".
I was awed by the fact that some guy signed up to compete with like 5 girls on beginner track. I was thinking "Man that guy must have an extremely big ego…let’s crush it!" and crushed it we did. Seriously who would take on a group of school girls at Daytona? It’s unheard of!!! So anyways, with the help of my turbo applying skills SOMEHOW Diana ended up coming first! As soon as she won everybody began squealling. Man I could always taste the dissappointment in the guy…he got up with his tail between his legs, licking his wounds and walked to his friends alerting them of his defeat. Too bad the guy was white…would be better if it was some "ganster" asian, now wouldn’t that have felt good. Damn, can only imagine it.
Afterwards I joined in in a game of Daytona with the guys and some girls on Advanced track. I was doing pretty good, coming first on an occassion. And GUESS what happened?! Henry comes along and pushes the turbo button as I was turning…I didn’t have time fast enough to react as I tried to get him away and I turned into the pit stop! I was leading! I was coming 4th as I left it. Though after a while I nearly caught up to Jase. I was actually able to see the Player 7 tag on the screen. If only I had one more lap…
What happened after we left G world was pretty…screwed. We went "shopping" only to have been notified that nobody wants to go "shopping" when we reached Market City. So then they bought two decks of cards…and headed off to Darling Harbour to hang out. We ended up playing pairs "bullshit" with two decks of cards. It was weird. Very weird. Whilst usually it took around 2 seconds each turn it turned out to be 30 seconds. A very slow game of bullshit. In the end two groups won…thanks to me and Jason respectively. We gave them a free turn pretty much allowing them to win. Nobody else bothered to keep on playing so we had to go through the job of going through the cards putting them in the respective packets. Had great fun.
Went back to central…said goodbyes to some people…caught train to Strathfield…sad goodbye to some more people and then went to Norla’s place for Dinner. Just Diana, William and his bro and I.
Okay I’ll say it once and once only. Tian Tian is the most annoying kid on this planet. Imagine the most annoying kid you know…times it by ten and then square it. EVERYTIME…and I mean EVERYTIME he gets invited to dinner he just FUCKS something up. I’m sorry I just can’t think of a better word at the moment. He spelt coke all over my desk…he banged the door on this other poor kid whose toenail flipped up…he hits my bro…he BIT me. Yes omg I can’t beleive I nearly forgot that. That little rascal bit me! He bit me on the leg! I have no idea why…but he bit me! Jesus, it was like reflex or something but I kicked him. I don’t kick 7 year olds ever but when he bit me my leg just contracted and then repelled into his chest. It obviously didn’t hurt but it got him stunned enough double back a step…but it still didn’t remove the evil smirk on this face. Who knew what he was thinking probably…"Mmmm…I wonder what his ass tastes like…" okay probably not that far or gross but damn that kid is annoying.
So yeah…he spelt sprite all over the coffee table so we had the pleasure of cleaning his mess up whilst he went around going crazy.
We found a tub of urea cream (whatever that is) and I have no idea why but William and Henry just started cracking up over it. Henry digged up Diana’s toothbrush (don’t even ask why he was looking through her stuff) and dipped it intot he urea cream. Well to sum it up…we spent the rest of the night paying out Diana…lowering Norla’s reputation, listening to S.H.E. and some other random artists.
Fun? Great fun. It was a different sort of fun though like throughout the day. More fun? Definately. I have to say…that was the longest time I’ve ever spent in the city. 8 whole hours! I spent 1/3 of my day hanging out in the city. *sigh* Too bad there won’t be much of this later on…considering the HSC and stuff.
So thanks Norla for a wonderful day
Appreciate it. We enjoyed the free movie ticket
Anyways, the reason I hate recapping my day is the fact that it can be really really boring. Nobody will care much but still…I do it nevertheless. This is one bloody long blog…the last time which I can remember writing a LONG blog was after Kev’s sleepover
Hehe…it’s like 1am now. Better go to sleep. *yawns* What a day its been…back to study…today.
You know what…f*ck it
Apr 8th
Screw society and their expectations. Scew people and their stereotypes. Screw you if you doubt me.
I don’t know…lately I’ve been doing a lot of things. Actually be bothered to do stuff, like the little things.
I’m no longer the guy that just sits there and thinks "Somebody else can go do it" nowadays it’s more along the lines of "I can be that somebody."
Though sometimes it’s not enough to get anything achieved. You don’t get any recognition. Nobody cares if you do it or not. Your respect ain’t going to grow any bigger and your dignity will remain as it is.
One thing I hate the most is the fact that there are sooo many fucking expectations these days. You are expected to do as much as possible in Year 12. Your expected not to screw around in Year 12. You are expected to have a date for the formal. You are expected to buy a jersey. You are expected to do whatever expectations imposed on you by society.
So much for choice.
Choice in my opinion is still an illusion or control created by those who have power over those without. Did we have a choice over the way we were raised? People often think they have a choice but did they really have a choice over the way they think?
Anyways, I’m just gonna stop altogether. I’m not gonna do anything just to meet an expectation. Just going to be myself. I mean in the end you just feel like shit. If the opportunity arises just take it. But then again an interesting quote I read in the High Notes (yes I actually read it for once) and it was like "Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognise it".
It’s funny how you can feel like shit over a period of time and then suddenly feel that much better. Well, I just got told that we’ve been invited to a friend’s place for Easter. The kids are gonna hang out in the city and then go back to have dinner. I’m plotting and planning already…movies…eat…galaxy world…bum around. Sounds like fun.
So now I’m feeling that much better. What a fucking hectic week. First nobody wants to go to trivia night. Then I got persuaded into persuading couple friends to go. Then the teams weren’t organised. I copped a "beating" and finally thanks to one person we managed to get everything worked out. Thank god for that.
If they only have a juggling competition involving a soccerball or a hacky sack instead of tennis balls then I would own! Wouldn’t mind being onstage and juggle away.
Trivia night turned out awesome, everything went smoothly, had great fun (many different reasons).
I swear to god. If MSN was a living breathing thing I would’ve shot it already. I would’ve shot it, cut off it’s head, shat down its mouth and piss on its face. MSN can get sooo bloody frustrating sometimes. Sorry for the graphic image, perhaps I’m exaggerating. Seriously though, MSN can be a good form of communication but when it comes to knowing people it can seriously get fucked. Maybe it’s just me, maybe its the other person but when I have to sit there infront of the screen and wait 5 minutes for a message it gets annoying. Also misunderstandings tend to occur quiet frequently. It’s not cool. Damn it.
On another note. I have to say…if somebody reads my blog and then talks to me in person they would probably think its two totally different people. I guess my blog can be seen as my alter-ego, my better half. Whatever.
Giving advice…taking advice…
Apr 3rd
I still can’t believe my blog has lasted this long. When I first began writing I was like thinking to myself "This thing ain’t gonna last one week" but now look at it…anyways, that’s beside the point.
Went through another PMS session on Saturday…took it out on a friend
Sorta. Not really. Perhaps. Who knows. Who cares?!
Alright alright. My current status on MSN is "(Working)(Busy)" well guess what…I lied. I guess it’s useful, simply ignore the people who I don’t feel like responding to. You know who you are
Well honestly…I’m busy…what can you do about it?
I guess I ignore too many people. I can think up of a dozen or so people who I ignore…freaky isn’t it? I don’t know why I do it…it makes no difference if I do or not but when I see that particular person my instincts kicks in and shouts out "Shit…do something now". Usually it’s either…walk faster, walk slower, walk in the opposite direction, walk a different route (I actually tried this once and it failed…) or perhaps just pretend you didn’t see them. I really hate it when I do it but heck I can’t help it.
Daylight saving is awesome. I usually sleep an extra hour but I took a different approach this time…I stayed up an extra hour late and got up an hour early. Went to sleep at 12AM/1AM and woke up at 6:30AM. So I had 6.5 hours of sleep. Got up and did work…seriously.
I probably give too much advice. I don’t think I’m the type that just listens to people and respond with "yep", "uh huh" or "Oh really?" etc etc. I tend to think up constructive responses. If I don’t it can mean two things:
1) I cbf with you
2) I can’t think of anything original to say (if anything I say is original…)
But anyways…this time I actually decided to take some advice. I rarely take advice…some things are more easily said than others. I guess the reason I give advice is the fact that I don’t have to do it myself. It’s always good to have things happen without doing anything but in reality…you never get something for nothing.
So yesterday I actually did some exercise. Played basketball and soccer for 1 hour.
I just realised that when I exercise there is absolutely nothing on my mind. There is no such thing as losing or winning, there’s only the objective of getting the damn ball into the damn hoop without having the ball go over the fence.
I mean like NOTHING was on my mind…no problems…nothing. It gets pretty frustrating when the ball falls short…three times in a row. I guess it’s my bad for not practicing. It just feels damn crap when the ball just air balls or hits the rim and bounces out though when you do get that swish it feels soooo damn good. Especially when you get it in three times in a row *whistles*. It’s like everything is made up by that one swish…or three
Also played a bit of soccer. And by play I mean juggle. I got 52 juggles in my first go. After that it just went downhill. I’m good at juggling. Makes me feel better about myself knowing that nobody comes close…at least not in my group of friends
Useless skill you say? Too true. It is a useless skill. When it comes to uses it’s not that useful except for one…showing off. "Look at me! I can juggle!" I don’t say it but I sure am thinking it. Thinking exactly that. I realise there may be those who are thinking "What a showoff/tryhard/wannabe etcetc" but it doesn’t concern me too much. I mean anybody can run, jump, kick a ball, bounce a ball but not everybody can juggle
I have a feeling that it might come in handy someday *smirks*
I also played a bit of basketball and juggled today for around 45 minutes today when I got home.
Well there you have it…I took some advice for once and decided to exercise to relieve some "stress". It’s good advice.
Nothing inspirational/motivational/helpful/insightful or any of that junk in this blog. Though sometimes I do wonder "Who am I writing this blog for?! Who am I trying to impress?!" Perhaps the day I close my blog is the day I find out.
I guess it’s back to work for me. Laters y’all.
@Jesse – I keep on forgetting!!! This week. I promise!
My leg hurts…
Apr 1st
You know what sucks? Waking up with a cramp!!!
I just got up from a nap…and had a cramp in my left leg. Man that is painful, usually when you get a cramp you just stretch it out and the pain instantly goes away this time it’s weird it just wouldn’t go away. I had to lie there in excruciating pain. It probably would be less than a minute but it seemed forever. Anyways, if I didn’t get the cramp I probably would still be napping and won’t be getting up to write this blog. I guess I missed my entry yesterday but it doesn’t really matter, nothing really happened. Except the fact that I lost myself twice.
During Software Design…(yesterday)
Michael: *begins slapping me on the arm*
Me: *ignores it*
Michael: *continues*
Me: I’m trying to do work bitch!!! *sudden realisation, looks around*
Dam: Who was that?!
Kelvin: *points at me*
Dam: Can he come up please?
Michael: *gets up to get book from Dam*
Dam: No not you…*thinkgs its Michael*…Mr Jiang.
Me: *oh shit!* *Gets up and walks over*
Dam: What happened?
Me: *with a smile* I was getting abused miss.
Dam: By who?
Me: Michael
Dam: So you called him a dog?
Me: Yes
Dam: A female dog?
Me: Yes
Dam: Did you feel it was the correct term at the time?
Me: *holy crap she’s being serious!* No…*silently* Not now…
Dam: Okay don’t let it happen again
Okay that was the first. Here’s the second…
Kelvin: *goes to buy pork roll*
Me: Holy crap he is going to buy a pork roll!
(I thought he was just kidding when he said it)
Jason: Yeah what did you think he was going to do? *suss look*
Me: You guys are shitcunts!!! *looks around*
Jason: What? We are shitcunts? John, your in public here.
Me: Man…that’s the second time I’ve done it.
Okay, enough nonesense.
We had Head of the River today. It was pretty good experience. Wearing school uniform just totally lost me. At one stage I was asking myself what day it was. Argh well, it didn’t really matter that we came last in every race except one, I don’t think anybody cares…we weren’t expecting anything better perhaps.
I don’t feel like recapping anything regarding Head of the River as the people who went there wouldn’t want to read about it and those who didn’t go probably won’t want to read about it either.
Though on my way back home something extremely weird happened. I seriously think NOBODY in my group of friends have every come across this situation in their life or perhaps never will. You see it in movies but you don’t expect it to happen to you. Though I guess it would happen if you were walking down Kings Cross but that’s a different matter. Can you guess it? That’s right. A hooker approached me!
Me: *walks down Belgrave Street listening to music*
Hooker: *in redneck aussie accent* Are you looking for someone tonight?
(I was expecting her to ask for money…)
Hooker: *walks up close to me until we’re like nose length away*
Me: *holy shit…why is she soo close?!* What?
Hooker: *in redneck aussie accent* Are you looking for someone tonight?
Me: *Holy shit!* No
Hooker: *exasperately* Too young… *walks away*
Me: *continues to walk…pondering over what happened*
God damn. Firstly, it was in broad daylight. Secondly, I was wearing school uniform. Thirdly, it’s Kogarah. Hurstville maybe, Kogarah…no. It just doesn’t happen…but it just did. *sigh*
Oh and for the record…it would probably take most guys at least 5 beers for the beer goggles to kick in…yeah that’s right think about it…it was that bad.
Whatever, I’m out.
