In the mountains
Jul 15th
So a lot has happened over the past two weeks or so, I was meaning to blog about it but it turned into a long-winded piece of crap that I don’t think anybody would appreciate to read. Hopefully this post doesn’t end up in the trash like the previous two.
To start off the break I went to watch Transformers 2, worst movie I’ve seen in a while. Some movies are just plain stupid so I don’t bother complaining about it, but this movie was a 200 million dollar blockbuster which made no sense and to be honest was just a bunch of senseless explosions whilst you have some hot chick in tight white pants running across the arid Sahara, she doesn’t get a single scratch on her whilst her boyfriend ends up having half his face ripped to shreds.
It was followed by Jase’s 20th Surprise Bday Party. Highlights include being pecked on the cheek by Jase, gossiping like a bunch of 12 year old school girls (no shame) and getting a 5-shot Long Island Ice Tea. Yes, kids, 5 shots…not the standard 5 half-shots, 5 full-shots. The bartender, instead of making 4 drinks, made 2 drinks which had the alcohol content of 4. Normally, after you put in the coke the drink turns into a slightly cokey colour…ours remained white. It was great though! It was a pretty good hit and made everything more entertaining.
I then had a Jay Chou concert. Half the Asian population was there along with 2 white chicks, 1 white guy and an Indian. Sam reckons they were lost. Okay…yes…the fans are loyal, gave Jay Chou lots of “face”, but people can you please be more active? They handed out these blow up sticks which you’re meant to hit together to create noise. I guess Asians aren’t loud enough so they need assistance? Come on guys. Nobody was moving, nobody was jumping. Look. The concert was great but I wasn’t tired from the concert, I was tired from standing. Experience from standing is probably not different to sitting. I originally was in the second row but I had to go pick up Diana so we ended up in the back. My original plan was to push in-front but that failed…horribly. Nobody was moving! It’s like as if they all decided to do some firm Kung Fu stance. I eventually crawled to the back and stood next to some white chicks. I don’t know why they were there but they seemed interested in the concert. Overall, it was pretty good concert, just wished that people moved a bit more. I mean god…this one guy was voice recording the concert on his iphone. The quality would be horrendously crap and in any other concert the crowd would have pushed him so hard he would have dropped his beloved iphone.
I also went to Perisher from 5th to 8th. It’s actually colder in Sydney than it was “in the mountains” mainly due to the fact that I wore a lot more. On our way there we were playing “I spy”, twas awesome. We had words such as telegraph post, sky, blue and weed. We also played 20 questions which was slightly more amusing. Poor Kelvin was sick for majority of the stay and only went boarding on the second last day. God snowboarding was hard. I had two major stacks. One going down Village 8 and just face-palmed the snow. I spent a good two minutes on the snow going “Fuck…fuck…holy fuck that hurts…fuck”. I also knocked my head on the snow after trying to turn from the edge to my heel, had problem lifting my head out of bed the next day. Honestly, I don’t think I would have survived another day of boarding. It was just too ownage. Having said that, it was a great experience and I won’t mind doing it again.
The next day after getting back from snows a package arrived! My new iphone 3g s! Excellent. However, since it was delivered the box was quite owned and I later found out that the iphone itself is dented. The screen dents into the phone. I scheduled a genuisbar appointment and managed to get the phone replaced, thus bringing the number of iphones owned by me to 5. I also listed my iphone up for sale. Today it was finally sold for $561.97 + $20 p/h. Subtracting ebay and paypal charges it ends up being $549.38.
Lets do some calculations:
Postage for new iphone: $9
Contract termination: $438
Remaining iPhone payments: $144
Total: $591
Difference: $41.62
I paid $41.62 for the new iphone 3g s. Pro Asian skills I must say. Pro Asian skills.
There’s also some other nitty gritty stuff that I want to touch on but I think I should just leave it here and save it for the next post, stay tuned I guess…although whenever I say that I don’t end up posting a follow up >.>
