Food for thought

When you are poor you can’t afford to buy cooked food…
 
…when you are rich, you pay to cook your food.
 
Just something that I’ve realised whilst eating out.

I’ll trade my happiness for your sadness any day.

I’ve been lazy these days, cannot be bothered blogging. I also haven’t been bothered with anybody else’s blogs. The flashy star just doesn’t appeal anymore.
 
So now I’m just sitting here, pondering on my thoughts of how difficult things are. I mean it’s never suppose to be simple but you sorta wonder what it’ll be like if things were easier. When you don’t have to worry what will happen next.
 
Maybe it’s just the way I am because I think differently to other people or perhaps its just my personality.
 
Really is sorta depresing how almost everybody is doing commerce at UNSW, I can only think of Francis who isn’t doing Commerce and even then he’s going to UNSW.
 
Well here I come USYD.

Helloooo

Well, we had a SEC reunion last Sunday.
 
It was extremely fun, if it wasn’t as hot it might have been even better. I had hot/cold transitions, makes me have a minor headache. Anyway, we went iceskating in which I got violated twice. I shoved ice down Michael’s pants and in retaliation he gave me a wedgie, which actually didn’t do much, at least nothing ripped. Haily on the other hand skated past me whilst giving me a smack on the behind. Quite gay. Haily is a guy by the way.
 
We had Yumcha, and in order to MW I ate "Phoenix Claws". Also had half a shot of Vodka+OJ but it didn’t do anything.
 
Afterwards we went to some "Playtime" or something and played Daytona, I was coming 1st/2nd before Henry did something causing me to ram into the wall on the last lap. We played a game of DDR (ahaha). Played some other random games before heading off to bowling.
 
I think I speak for all when I say "Michael has a big ego" actually that might be an understatement, he’s literally begging for somebody to crush it :P
 
Hehe, didn’t do too well at bowling as I did at GC. Ahaha, during my second last bowl I realised that my ball was actually chipped, it wasn’t a small chip either, it was a huge chip, I guess I didn’t realise it since it was a large flat chip so you can’t see it visibly. :S I guess I can use that as my excuse but meh.
 
The train ride back was somewhat hilarious, but I think Henry sorta lost himself and gone all crazy in front of the girls. Sorta thing I would do but never really expecting anybody else to match. And seriously you can’t blame my GA, since at the time I swear I had it turned off or down…one can never be too sure.
 
First I did the "sinking boat" quiz like thing. (If you want to know, I’m sorry but I CBB writing it out). After that we began talking about SEX IQ, and making sexual innuendos that I got.
 
Me: It just means that amount of yourself you’re willing to give.
Henry: I just give the…
Me: *shakes head in disgust*
Everybody: Double you tee eff
 
And…
 
…stuff like "All guys have two head but we think with the one without the brain".
 
Here’s another one.
 
"Meeting people can cause headaches"
 
Try and guess what that means.
 
But yeah, rather fun outing. Thanks goes to Sally for organising it.

VERY VERY productive day :)
 
I guess I caught on for some much needed sleep.

Gone.

Gone. All gone. I’ve deleted it all sometime this morning.
 
 
Today, I unpacked PCs, set up windows, formatted pcs, packed pcs. The packing of the PCs were a total bitch. Apparently, AMEX is getting rid of all their old pcs and giving them to Charity. Their business ethic is somehow conflicting. On one hand they provide FREE ONSITE MASSAGE to their employees (they did it on this one day, not sure if they have it on anymore) and on the other they’re giving away free PCs. Though we did a really half arsed job of packing. We simply got the machine, stuffed it into the box, stuffed all the other random packaging with it and then sealed it. All the un/packing made my hands all sore. But damn, it was sorta cool seeing 72 boxes of PCs and monitors stacked up in a room.
 
Meh, I forgot what I was to say…
 
Okay I lost another fucking bid on Ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time by 90cents. So damn pissed. The thing is, I could have won by bidding on these other two items at the time which were exactly the same, it just happened that my item came out on top in terms of prices. I was trying to bid for 2GB Corsair Value Select Ram. I was out at Olympic Park watching "Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest". Meh, it was okay…but I have seen it before.
 
Okay I’m outie for some Dota :P
 
Edit:
You know, it’s sort of nice to have conversations regarding aspects of computing that I wouldn’t normally have with people. Nice to have a discussion rather than a fanboyed, stuckup, ignorant opinions on whatever is being said. I guess I can only have these convos working at an IT related company. Well we talked about bittorrent, home servers, media center, downloading illegal stuff, buying a PC off AMEX (the guy said no)  and other random computer related stuff.

Short term memory…

Sometimes it gives me the edge when people comment, cause the thing is I can’t remember what I’ve written so like I get into this state where I’m worried about what I’ve written. Meh. Fuck it.
 
Anyway, I got my dancemat yesterday. I downloaded 500 megs worth of songs and now I have like 310 songs. The only problem is that there is a joy axes problem meaning that I cannot hit left and right or top and bottom at the same time. This is due to the playstation to usb adapter and the driver as well in some aspects. So I can do two things, 1 buy my own off ebay which will cost around 18 for a compatible one OR I can borrow one off Robin. I got some good news yesterday. I’ll be working 5 days, 9 hours each day starting from 15th to 19th. 9am to 6pm. My New Year’s resolution is to pay off my first year of UNI fees. I guess I’m halfway there, with the help of th 20% discount ofcourse.
 
I also went to USYD open day by myself. I figured nobody is gonna be doing what I’m doing so why bother going in a group. Probably easier that way and I can get to know the uni better myself. I went to the IT building, the NEW IT building. OH man, it’s like completely made out of glass. It looks awesome from the back but at the front it just looks like SEX. Seriously, go along Cleveland Street and you won’t miss it. So yes, I changed my mind again and am doing Bachelor or Information Technology and then do my masters of Commerce after. Yes it’s possible as long as I get a credit average which is 65% in my exams. Aolifu, Yimin, George and Evans were also at my IT lecture.
 
I accidentally sat through a Molecular Biotechnology lecture. I arrived 45 mintues early to my lecture so I just went into the lecture hall. I was like "hmmm…there’s an aweful lot of girls here…" and then "OMG, I’m an idiot". the IT lecture was hilarious. There were only 3 girls there, 2 of which were with guys so I’m assuming they were just tagged a long. So out of everybody there were only 1 girl there.
 
I hope to dominate my course.
 
Today, I took my bro and his best friend to watch Flushed Away. Man my bro is annoying. Whenever he’s around a friend he gets all crazy. Runs around, jumps up and down, doesn’t watch where he’s going and I have to be the one watching his every move and apologise whenever he bumps into somebody since he just runs away a second later. The two of them shared popcorn and drinks. They finished their drinks like 2/3 throughout the movie and my bro wanted to go to the toilet. 5 minutes later after we came back his friend wanted to go as well. So I had to take them to the toilet just in case something happens. Yes I’m being paranoid but yeah…shit happens. And my bro was fidgeting throughout the movie, every time there was a "corny" scene he would cover his face or put his shirt over his eyes. But I also got a bit of dirt out of his friend. And I sorta felt cut at the point since I sorta always pictured him being open and telling me these things. Basically he likes a girl called Joy or supposedly anyway, maybe its a rumour but my bro didn’t deny it that hard so I guess it must be true. I also got Diana to come and when my bro saw her he was like "Aw my God", goes into that embarrassed phase and turns away.
 
That’s all that happened today. I need a damn PS to USB adapter!!!!!!!!!!!! and also a Wii component cable.
