Awkwardness and No-homo

Man, being awkward sucks. It's like I can be the weirdest piece of shit with my friends but with her my vocabulary range just whips down to, i dunno, it's like being asked unseen questions in a French Speaking exam but...much less clinical. Yeah. That's how my day kinda was.

Yeah so I downloaded "This Means War" last night. MAN, I need to learn how to make gifs. I watched the movie on the plane from Korea, I like the whole kind of story-line and, y'know, no-homo but Chris Pine is kinda, well, good-looking. My bad. Not gay, honest. The whole brotherhood thing is really cool too. I dunno, I just like the whole two best friends and one girl situation. It's a situation I might've been in. Maybe. Well yeah. No. Actually I don't remember when I've ever been in that situation. Maybe I've thought about what might happen if I was in that situation.

Nevermind.

I'm just gonna go eat now.

Old Themes and Old Songs

Oh man, I really need to get me a new blog theme. This one is starting to get pretty old. 

So I figured that the last few posts have been a bit long and tedious to read so I'll try to make this one a little shorter.

For a start: I had this strange and sudden obsession with Jay Chou. Well, seeing as we're in this kind of weather, it was (what I was sure was) the last time I would see someone, I was tired, and that I'm that kind of person it was pretty typical to listen to some kind of sad and nostalgic music with the aid of RainyMood. Jay Chou seemed like a pretty good choice. 

Eventually, I got to one song and it just sent me back into...I dunno, my vision went blurry but I wasn't crying or anything, everything went out of focus and I just kinda froze. It's just one of those typical, clichéd moments were the main character listens to a song and gets kicked into a flashback moment except I don't close my eyes like a retard I just stare at the screen and a wave of memories come flooding back. Smell, sounds, the feeling of a slight breeze and a pair of hands. 

And now I've got a whole playlist of songs that I listened to about 3 years back.

So much for not looking back. 

Oh well, that's a pretty short post. 

I had something else to blog but I forgot. I'll post it next time.

"real quick heads up" my arse

so as a real quick heads up, they actually read the names wrong that day and switched my name for someone else's. In a nutshell, I won. Two gold medals: one for patterns and the other one for choreographed sparring routines. I don't know how we won that one. The first time, we got to about just after half way and I forgot. Just a stupid mind blank. It was embarrassing to just stand there and sheepishly ask the judges if we could try again. Second time through, we get to about 5 cuts in and everyone's watching really intensely and they're all wondering if I'll get another blank then SNAP the sword I'm using just breaks and the whole stadium just goes dead silent. Well fvck. I can't really sheathe it now, can I?

I sit down thinking nothing could get any worse than this. I've forgotten it once halfway through and now I've just broken a sword, I'm prettty sure I'm disqualified. Third time through, everything works and flows through and the next thing we know, they're calling up names for the next round and our pair wasn't called. Huh :/

About an hour and a half later, everyone is called down to prepare for the medals and awards. Everyone's sitting down and we're all tired and we all want to go home. Took them a while to get to sparring though. "Red and Cho-Dan-Bo aged 14 to 17 males Round one bronze goes to _____and_____" applause. blahblahblah. "Final Round Gold goes to EDWARD AND MICHAEL." And our team is just jaksld;fjaklfjdkla;jfdklsajf;dlsajfdklsa;jlfldk;sjflk;dsa;kd fjaskldfa
That was the most unlikely thing to have happened to me over the course of Nationals. Patterns was even more intense. This has a bit of context to it. In Korea, Round one I was winning, I was up top and it was all good. Second Round it was mainly me and a certain Callum. Come the results, he won by 0.1 points. I mentioned that before. Come the departure for Australia, we called a re-match at Nationals.

So waiting for the results in this situation was pretty intense so when they said "Silver Medal goes to" they knew about our situation, and duly made an even longer pause.

"Male Red and Cho-dan-bo 14 to 17 Final Rounds silver medal goes to...

-silence-

Callum ___."

That took a while to sink in. And when they finally called out my name it was absolutely jkals;djfkal;jfkld;ajgfklda;sjfdkl;asjfkdl;sajfdkls;ajfkldsa;jfklds;ajfkld;sajfkldsajfl;dsajfkdlsa;jfdkls;ajfkdl;ajfldk;fjkldsa;fjkdls;afjklds;afjklsd;ajfk;ldsa

One tear. That was the first time I had ever cried from happiness. Manly tear, no judging.

Anyway. That's all well. No more school music rehearsals, no more assessment until exam block and life is good.

I've been listening to this opera song called Don Giovanni. You know that piece in Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows where they're in Paris and Moriarty watches an Opera? That's the one. Here's a link to it and it's...well I think it's pretty intense.

Well, I'm gonna go sleep because sleep. If you read this whole thing then...well I'm pretty amazed that you bothered so thank you and I'm glad someone cares enough~

A la Prochaine.

Disappointed.

 Disappointed. That's how I felt this afternoon. It was really awful. I dunno, having everyone expect me to get a gold medal was tough in the first place but not even making the finals was just horrible. ugh.

It was crap. It was so crap. It was just. Yeah. 

Dinner was nice. I actually had a really decent meal for once. 

So I've been listening to songs released around 2007 and 2008 like "Black and Gold" and "Just Haven't Met You Yet"

Kay. I'm done here.

Keyboards, Insults and Nothing

Writing up my French speech for Tuesday makes me feel a lot like a stereotypical English teacher, going into so much depth and getting emotionally involved with the characters in a three minute song as well as their situation but I guess that's already implied. 

In terms of writing the actual speech, it gets annoying every now and then. Say, for example, you're talking to someone in English on msn or facebook or some kind of social communication instant messaging shit whatever, and you're typing french at the same time and you're really getting the gist of the French keyboard and suddenly a message pops up saying: "Hey man what's up? How've you been?" and you go to say: "Yeah, nothing much just a bunch of assignments that's all. What about you?"

Unfortunately, the keyboard hasn't switched over the keyboard regional functions when I went to reply so what I typed looked like this: "Yeqh nothing ,uch just q bunch of qssign,ents thqtùs qll : Zhqt qbout you§"

Not even kidding. A is where Q is and vice versa; W is where Z is and vice versa; M is comma; dot is either colon and shift-/ becomes the Sims Currency. Just you wait till you hear about the row of numbers. There's a lot more to the French keyboard than that but I'll leave that up to you to learn. I learnt the hard way and went through typing articles in French until I got good at it. 

I guess you can always go for the OSK (On-Screen Keyboard) or the Google Translate Keyboard (that's how I learnt the Korean Keyboard).

someone caption this. please. I can't come up with something cute, it's just like dog was napping and he heard Jack, the owner come back with a tennis ball and in his head he's just like BALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALLBALL shit, where'd he go. Then he sees it and he's so happy that when he runs past the cat, he nips a little cheeky kiss and runs off, leaving the cat stunned. What.

I dunno, it's a Friday afternoon and I'm sick of doing assignments. 

I've figured that the best insults come from the most intelligent people. Like from John Bright: "He is a self-made man and worships his creator" and Mark Twain: "Why do sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?" Or perhaps Mae West: "His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." 

Ok well, I think that's through and my thirst for that bit of leisure has been quenched so I'm gonna go back to my French assignment. 

Less than a day till Championships ajkl;dfjsakl;fjdksla Come to Logan Metro Indoor Sports Centre tomorrow at like 10 if you want to come along and watch. Completely pumped.

Just thought I'd pop this in:

The word "nothing" meant vagina in Elizabethan slang so pretty much the Shakespearean play "Much ado about Nothing" was a shameless, dirty pun

Something like that. Learning every day, huh?

Heads up: this post is just...yeah.

This is what happens when my brain explodes and a billion things skip and trip over and make a doggypile run through my brain in a split second.

Except for this joke.

So Jane asks Tarzan if he knows what sex is...

He asks, "what sex?". So she explains the mechanics and asks if he's ever done that. Tarzan says, "yes, with hole in tree".

Jane says, "no, no, no, this is where you're supposed to do it", and lays down on the ground with her legs spread open, gesturing Tarzan to mount her.

So Tarzan approaches, raises his right foot, and smashes down on her crotch as hard as he can. After several minutes of Jane rolling around and writhing in pain, she finally asks, "Dear god, why in the world did you do that?" To which Tarzan replies, "Check for squirrels."


Life is a bitch. If it was a slut, it would be easy.

Getting $#it done.

Finally, I'm managing to do some work but on one subject and one subject only. ITS is being a real bitch so I have to get that out of the way first. It took me at least half an hour to find out how to make a drag and drop game and another hour to actually do it. Now I'm halfway through and I've just started procrastinating. That's not going to end well. Oh, and it's due this Thursday TT^TT

wanted these shoes. I reckon I could've gotten them for about 100RMB each (which comes to around 16 or 17 AUD). I only got the Superman one down the end. asdjkl; it had COMICS inside the shoe. like inside, on the tongue and on the sole.

Post pictures later~

anyway, I'm gonna have to get back to my assignment.

oh, and if anyone knows how to get a music player for blogger up and running, please let me know. I've got a playlist with some 10 - 15 songs on it. so yeah. Thanks in advance~

~Food~

So I found this song on someone's blog and I kinda really liked it. Hope you do too~

Anyway, I've been sick for the last week or so, so I took yesterday and today off of school, both of which were spent practicing excerpts for QYO and looking up food on Reddit. I'm not quite sure if that's good for me.

THIS is one hell of a sandwich

anyway. Food = the best way to get me happy :3

I can't really find anything interesting to blog about right about now aside from the fact that school started low and got lower; and that China is one of those places that you have to have been there to judge.

China

Just as a quick update, the Internet here is just as bad as it is at home in terms of restrictions. YouTube, blogger, twitter, Facebook, and probably a heap of others are blocked. So yeah, we're about to leave for a three hour trip to Xi'An where we're going straight to a school which means my buddies here are gonna become superstars of the sort. Hopefully me too :3

Clazziquai - Lazy Sunday Morning
Found it on this blog. New favourite chill song~

I think that dreaming every night for the last 6 months is finally taking its toll. Headaches, dizziness, constant fatigue and whatnot. As interesting as these dreams have been, I don't think it's doing me too well. I don't think that helps with the fact that I'm leaving for China soon nor the fact that I'll be having dinner at 1 in the morning while thinking about all the things I could be doing for the next two weeks.













For some odd reason, I can't actually follow people on twitter anymore. It just doesn't work :/ If anyone's got a solution, go ahead and comment or something.

Welp, I'm just gonna leave this here and be on my way.

Last day of work experience D':

Last day of work experience was unforgettable. Seriously, I think this whole "experience" thing was amazing. It started off pretty bland with photocopying and book-moving but it ended with a full scale professional concert.

Today started off with a half-day in the office. It seemed a little boring but we got through it. Putting stickers on envelopes and putting stuff in the envelopes doesn't seem to hard until you realise that half the "stickers" are actually stickers. I ended up writing names and addresses onto the envelopes. After that was done, we finished at around 12:15 and left with a bit of chocolate from our supervisor.

What sucked was that I forgot my Go Card so I walked around West End for a bit until my bus came along and I got charged around twice as much as I should've because I didn't have my ID card. -sigh-

Having gone to Garden City to buy a CD, I bumped into Cyrus and Ray at their work experience place :D They happened to be working at eCosway which was funny because I didn't think that either of their accents were going to help them sell anything. Mum ended up buying something from the shop so I had a lot of time to talk to the boys.

ROMA STREET. Oh god, the place is beautiful. I took a few pictures and yeah, I can't get them up, but I'll try. I spent the first 15 minutes doing a stage-check and the next two hours were spent handing out flyers. In other words, talking to strangers. I dunno about you, but I find that a lot of fun. I came across a French couple who were talking and looking at a laptop they brought along. I had a bit of a chat with them and told them I was studying French at school. The girl turned the laptop so that it was facing me and it turns out, she was skyping with her parents overseas. That's pretty sweet. So yeah, it was fun.

To be honest, I think I'll actually miss my work place. The people there are so nice and I can even use the kitchen whenever I want to make some tea with biscuits. From the cute girl in marketing to the Stage setup Manager, they've made my work experience awesome so a big shoutout to them.
Even though they'll never see it anyway. Oh well. 

So yeah, I don't know what to do now. I'll be leaving for China in about 20-something hours from now. I'll just post this thing from the Oatmeal about dogs:

You can find the original post here.

Well have a good holiday for those who are on holidays and for those who aren't, well, I dunno, good luck in  trying to get laid or sumthin', loljk, I dunno. 

How about just,

A la Prochaine~

I think that works.

So every time you go to deactivate your facebook, if you ever do, it asks you if you're sure if you want to then tells you that 5 specific people will miss you. My reactions to each:
Probably not, maybe, nope (unfortunately), nope and I'm not sure. Oh well, looks like I'll just spend more time on tumblr and twitter.

Fourth day of work experience started off with a whole lot of nothing then a whole lot of everything. Since I didn't pack any food nor did I have the chance to buy anything, I pretty much starved for a day. I think we spent an hour packing up the rehearsal and another hour packing it all into trucks. When we got to Roma Street Parklands, we spent about 2.5 hours setting up the stage. Never. Again. Gettin' real tired of your shit, double basses.

What I like about the stage crew is that we can swear at each other even though we've only known each other for about 5 hours in total. Like: "OI STEVE, CAN YOU GET ME SOME PEGS, THIS FUCKING MUSIC WON'T STAY RIGHT." So yeah, it's pretty casual.

The couple next door had a baby.

Oh my fuck, she's cute. Melodie (or Melody, I'm not sure) she's not even a month old but she's gonna be one hell of a kid. I got to hold her and I'm so ajsdkfl;ajskgdl;ajfdkl;sajfkdl;ajgklad;fj kdlsa;kjfkla right now.

It's so beautiful how life can be brought to the world in such a small package. It's so... I dunno, inexplicably amazing.

Well, looks like I've found my soft spot.

Made a new personal blog which can be found here.

Well, I guess, for now,

A la Prochaine~

i am so done.

Holy crap. QSO is way too good. You hear them play some fairly simple piece and you think, yeah, well, that was pretty hard and they did it well so good for them. But then you hear them play Flight of the Bumblebee as if it's the easiest thing they've ever done and Mitch and I were like

Thing is with these guys, it's just that they walk in on their first rehearsal and when they start, they do a whole piece in one go. And the end, I just wanted to clap but apparently everyone else thought it was crap. well, y'know, they thought there were heaps of flaws. 

I still can't get over how amazing the auditorium is. The acoustics are amazing and with the music, it's just magical. If I had a camera if only I had a camera, I'd take a billion pictures of it but then again, there's this sign on the door prohibiting unauthorised photography TT^TT STILL, it's probably gonna be knocked down in the next year because they're moving to the new ABC building in Southbank. I don't even know how many steinway grands they have. Maybe before they abandon the building, I'll ask if I can take a few pictures. 

But for now, I'm just trying to find a way to describe my situation about a specific person as subtly as possible. Without giving away who or what it's about. 

While I'm trying to figure that out, I'll just go and watch Alfie.

As always,

A la Prochaine.

Macaroons and Sadness.

So my brother bough macaroons which are these beautiful little things. For those of you who don't know, I'm allergic to eggs and macaroons just happened to contain egg yolk. Which sucks. because. yeah. No, well I mean, guess I can just have their Oreos for them :D sounds good.

Day 2 of work experience was better than the first. A lot more active work going around with the bass auditions happening. Opening doors, closing doors, taking stools in, taking stools out and whatnot. Pretty easy stuff. I'll just say now, there are some freaking awesome double bass players. One of the basses had square edges on a part of it which was unique to the maker. Bloody amazing.

That being said, though, I still had to do some library work = =" at least 100 pages of photocopying and 2 hours of staple/binder removal. At least we got a lot done. And as the description says, it's an experience after all.

asdfjkl;

I think I'm gonna go visit the coffee shop down the road from QSO. Apparently, they make the best coffee.

Oh and if you have any blogger themes to suggest, go ahead. I'm getting sick of mine.

Work Experience

So since a bunch of my friends were blogging about work experience, I thought, hell why not.

So I go to QSO (Queensland Symphony Orchestra) for my Work Experience week. At first, it just seemed like we'd be sitting on rehearsals and perhaps joining in at times but it turned out to be much more than that.

I got there a little earlier since Eric had orchestra in the morning so I had nothing to do but listen in conversations that the receptionists were having. Best thing I heard all day: "The first five days after the weekend are the hardest". I kinda chuckled but just so they wouldn't notice.

kay, I can't be bothered going through the whole day so generally, it was pretty boring. The building was pretty dull but the auditoriums are amazing. Acoustically and aesthetically, they're amazing. If I had a camera then, well, that'd be awesome but no. Oh well. We're doing double bass auditions tomorrow so that'll be exciting hectic. That sounds about right. It'll be an evident contrast between the two days. I'm not sure about Wednesday though.

Being on the bus just after school with a bunch of 13 years olds isn't that fun. I mean, what kind of high school student doesn't yet know the difference between north and south Korea? She asked the Korean student "so are you from North Korea or South Korea?" I dunno man, she probably ended up like the North Korean who got so drunk that he floated down from North to South Korea. Welp. That's the iGeneration for you.

Oh well I'll keep you guys posted.

As always,

A la Prochaine.

Bit of nothing.

guys. It's pretty much summer weather now. Which means it's swimsuit season o_O
and this is probably what I'll be doing:




awww yeah. well no. actually, I'll be in China next week for two weeks TT^TT man I hope tumblr works there.

I really have to go to dreamworld/surfers paradise with a bunch of friends sometime. just as long as it's the Gold Coast and it's summer. and it's sunny, preferably.

QYO performance the other night was pretty crap, to be honest. I think something just didn't click with the orchestra. Oh well, at least we got to tie a piece of string around the entire studio while eating a slamburger. GET IT. like: Serious and the Lamb then the Burger. so it goes S.LamBurger. Slamburger.

I'm sorry, I'm tired so I'll just shut up now.

A la prochaine.

fail ALL the exams

Not sure if any of you have heard of her. Perhaps you have but for those who haven't, she's amazing. Her real name is Jasmine van den Bogaerde but her stage name is Birdy which is cool because we're studying Edith Piaf who was born Édith Giovanna Gassion and Piaf just means sparrow. Birdy & Sparrow, both with somewhat confusing names. Huh. I hope Jasmine doesn't go down the same path.

So English Exam is tomorrow and I've accidentally written 1041 words when the word limit was 600-800 words. I'm expected to regurgitate all of it in 2 and a half hours. Easier said than done. Since I've been focusing so much on this exam, I've pretty much forgotten everything about maths so I'm screwed for that. Drama's on Friday and although I have a lot of time to prepare for that, I have a) no idea what to wear b) no clue as to what I'm going to improv and c) I don't even know how my group is going to react on-stage.

In other words, this is how I'm feeling:

Those Moments

7 September 2012
3:00pm
Have you ever been in a moment where you're alone somewhere but it's not like a sad kind of alone but more of a calm, tranquil alone. The moment where everything in the room just "sits". When your eyes feel like closing but you're not sleepy. When you just look around and think "hey, I this is nice" and you want that moment to freeze and never change. Like the peace after the storm, the eye of the hurricane. Peaceful. These moment are so bittersweet because as nice as these moments are, they won't last so remember these moments, cherish them. You mightn't be a photographer but take a picture anyway. You mightn't be a writer but write down how you feel anyway. You don't have to be an artist to draw how you feel.

A rendition of this afternoon's diary entry. Thought you guys might like it.

But I found another folder when I was just checking out my folders labelled "Just Little Things" named after the blog. As it turns out, I used to save their posts just so I could read them later and y'know, just smile :P Here are a couple of them

Not anymore. I used to wish that I'd end up with some girl or that things would get better. Now I don't even stay up that late but when I do, I just reflect back on some things that I could've fixed up, things I should have relied on myself to do rather than depending on a wish to do something. Despite it all, I still believe in wishes.

Day29.
Picture of yourse-- nope

Day30.
Anything I want to post about. Which leads me to the post.

Seeing as QYO auditions are coming up in October, I've had to start up on cello lessons. Though I've had an excessively long break from lessons, I'm actually in pretty good shape.

SO. I watched Batman on Wednesday and I've gotta say that...Anne Hathaway definitely suits the role of Catwoman. Oh GOD she's hot. Just saying. But still, the plot is brilliant, casting is amazing and the music really gives it the edge. As predictable the ending is, it's still an amazing movie and I'll probably not go watch it again until it comes out on DVD. 

Speaking of movies to watch, here's my list of what I'm planning on watching: Bournce Legacy, Total Recall and Looper.

That'll be it for now.

Day15 16.
Confess everything to everyone and probably trash my room for the fun of it. Get drunk and have a massive party so that when the world ends, I'll be hungover and all that I'll feel is the blinding pain behind my eyes. Maybe.

Day17.
Initially, I wanted to be a speech pathologist because I knew a few people who were speech impaired. Now, I've thought about being a teacher but speech pathologist keeps coming up since I think of different ways to go about it.

Day18.
Name of tv show that I've become addicted to: stuck between House and Whose Line is It Anyway.

So I'm two days away from disaster. My english is due and I'm still procrastinating.

Well shit.

After having read my sister's blog, I found out two things:
a) she owns huskies

and b) I might not be most likely not in the list for Leadership camp

So I'm meant to be doing my English Assignment but I guess there are a lot of better thing I could do...right? Damn, I wish. Unfortunately, that's not the case and I should also be doing my IT assignment which is supposedly due today.

Well, shit.

Oh well.

Day13.
Three confessions: 1. I catch myself thinking really far/deep, 2. yeah, I used to be self-harming and 3. I reblog/like pictures of guys on tumblr. No homo.

Favourite quote: Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked courage(...)and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane. - Looking for Alaska.
Day12
Screenshot my desktop:

I think two a day should cut it.

I'm starting to get really, really nervous for my English review speech: for one thing, I haven't even finished it and the powerpoint hasn't nearly been completed. I've got a pretty good idea as to what I'm going to say in terms of improvising unfamiliar parts but still, yeah.

DRAMA. OH GOD THE DRAMA. Right. so in yesterday's post, I mentioned how I was writing my drama essay, right? I wrote up to around 500 words in 2 hours which is...pretty good in my standards. Come this morning, I set off to do my assignment where I did another 200 words. *Pats on the back*. Fast forward to my first subject of the day: Drama and, again we have laptops and I plug my USB in and BAM

gone. a whole assessment item gone as well as half my music.

Which is why I ended re-writing the whole thing from scratch 2 hours ago. It's a lot easier, now that I knew what I was writing about but still. Stupid me for not backing it up.

tl;dr always remember to back up your work.

Oh, the things I find on Reddit.

So I found this thing on my friend's blog came up with this 30 day challenge thing and here it is:

I won't do one everyday but just, every time I blog, I'll do a day until I'm done so if I forget, just remind me in the cbox thing on the left.

Speaking of which. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BLOG WALKERS.

I think I'll go up to day 10 today, just to catch up.

Day1.
Write some basic things about yourself.
16, Asian, Australian, likes drawing and stuff.
Day2.
Likes: tumblr, reddit, blogging, drawing, exercise XD, HdGd, music, SNSD, magic and drama(s)
Dislikes: being sick, arguments, being behind on stuff, people who lip-sync, injustice, being interrupted, flaws in plans, bitches (ain't shit but hoes 'n' tricks :P) and slow internet
Day3.
Woke up at 7:35 and got up at 8:47 and stumbled down the stairs to greet mum good morning. Meandered a little until 9 and switched on the tv just to see SBSPopAsia. Watched for half an hour until I realised the music they were playing was...average. Aside from a few. Switched to channel nine and cursed it for replaying swimming again until they turned to diving. Walked over to cupboard to bring out cereal and then the fridge to get out the milk.
Holy shit, do I have to keep going? It's like 3 now.
skip forward a few hours.
Worked on Drama for 2 hours and had bacon strips with rice ._____.
had a shower
came down stairs and started blogging.
DONE. Up to this point, anyway. I'll just put it here that I'm having a haircut, maybe.
Day4.
Meaning behind my tumblr name: just another in the whereistheother series
Day5.
Five places I want to visit: Seoul, Tokyo, Paris, New York and London. Typical places but in no specific order.
Day6.
SNSD ummmmmmm I'm not sure but Katei has a pretty big influence on me to go and study different style of modern music. In his case, he went to Japan for a few years and did music there and came back with neo-classical music. pretty impressive stuff. But still, I do have a thing for SNSD. just sayin'
Day7.
What do I read? Sherlock Holmes and a few factual books. Next stop: biographies. Boring, I know.
Day8.
Three things I want to say to different people? I'm not sure, actually. Could be along the lines of "Can't wait for you guys to come up to Queensland in October." "Fast Eddie's pretty fast at Gumbups" and "Your grammar, your taste in music and your self-depreciation doesn't really help you get far. Just sayin'"
Day9.
Pet Peeves. People eating loudly, people cutting into people talking, and grammatically incorrect people like "Don't you wish you're girlfriend was grammatically incorrect like me?"
Day10.
If I had to pick one food or beverage to live off for the rest of my life? omgomgomgomgomgomg. i don't know DDD: Water for drink and probably fried rice or something.

Well that took longer than I expected. Maybe that's because I was writing this and writing my drama assignment at the same time.

Before I finish, watch this: http://youtu.be/PJnERje97jw

Update~

HOKAY so. It's been a while. what, like a week? i don't really care to know. so. i don't even-- it's 9:15pm and I'm already tired and my fitness levels are diminishing. which is pretty unfortunate :/ especially with leadership camp coming up. As I said last time, don't miss out on school in your senior years. Well, it can be ok sometimes especially when you manage to get yourself an extension for two subjects.

I've been listening to an awful lot of Epik High and F.T Island recently. I didn't realise how atrociously depressing it was until I looked up the lyrics and what kind of things they sung about: discrimination, sexual crimes, war, religion, education. The kind of things that the Korean Culture and Tourism tried to silence on air (Korean Times News). One song I've been listening to is Airbag by Tablo, the main rapper of the group.

F.T. Island, for me, is kind of a new found interest and it's growing as well. A 5-member boy band singing pop and rock. I'm still getting around to listening to more of their songs. 애인이 돼 주길 바래요 is one of the songs that I've been listening to lately. Their debut album "Cheerful Sensibility" isn't too bad either. Just looking here, their debut song, 사랑앓이 (Love Sick) topped the K-pop charts for eight consecutive weeks.

K. enough of the reviews. Haidong Gumdo Nationals are coming up and I need some good training. 

I might go for a run tomorrow morning.

HIANUS HIATUS

I'm sorry, I forgot to say I'm on hiatus because of a shitload of work.

It ain't even funny.

Few words: Silver medal. What happens in Korea stays in Korea. Try not to miss out on two weeks of school because shit happens.

kthxbye.

A la Prochaine.

I'm sorry about this post, I was kinda half asleep

0.1

That was how close I was to winning. Or tying at least. Zero point fucking one. After all those training sessions. The intense heat, the pain, the never-ending outlet of sweat got me a silver medal. First days are always the hardest. 

The last 10 days have passed way too quickly. I don't like the way things ended. What was meant to be a hug and a few words turned out to be nothing at all. Things happened too quickly. She became too attached too quickly. Things went awkward for two days then she thought it was all good but I was still trying to figure things out.

Two years difference, a thousand kilometers distance and a different taste in a lot of things. It was never going to work out. In addition, I wasn't even ready for a relationship, let alone a long distance one. At least the last three days made for a painless ending only it takes a little while for the scratch marks to fade. 

Korea Update~

so. I'm in Korea. Not bad huh? Not bad my arse. It's only been a day and we've been swearing sweating our heads off. It's really humid. Like, it's cloudy, it rains every now and then but there's always that...that, umm, what's the word, it's not exactly suffocating but like...i dunno, if you find out, tell me but it's just that ___something___ heat. The food here's pretty awesome. Just a buffet for every meal of the day. We had sausages, bacon, bread and heaps more for breakfast and for lunch we had rice with some pork and veggies i think? and dinner was the best: marinated beef and kimchi with rice and some spinach. To help it down, there was an unlimited supply of icy cold water.

Since I'm not the kind of Asian who takes a photo of all the food he sees, you won't be seeing any pictures. Just use your imagination~

With this kind of heat, I'm pretty sure that everyone has to drink at least 6 litres of water a day to keep hydrated. By everyone, I just mean the people involved in the Championships.

So yeah, that's the update. For now anyway.

Dude this place is massive.

"Look I got a lif-- aaaand it's gone."

I find it a little weird that the first thing I do after actually getting a life is hop right back to tumblogging and wasting my life all over again. Not surprising though.

FINALLY something to blog about. I'll have to admit that Susan's party wasn't bad but definitely and interesting one. From half raw lamb and licking people's noses, it was pretty, well, yeah, interesting. We went down to the local park to play hide 'n' go seek. Now this was at around 6:00 at night so it was pretty dark. Everyone was paired up with someone drawn out of a container. I got matched up with Maro who happened to have brought this cap gun that he bought for $5. Every pair got linked up by a pair of cardboard chains which didn't exactly provide us with much "connectivity". Our chain pretty much snapped right when we got on the grass so we went our own ways.

After about 10 minutes pretty much everyone was back at the shelter except for two pairs: Anny/Tony and Eileen/Andrea. Tristan, Charlie and I ended up looking for Eileen/Andrea while Jesse and Maxine went looking for Anny/Tony. As it turns out, Anny and Tony were already back at the shelter for a while but Eileen/Andrea were missing for a while. Tristan gave up but eventually, Eileen and Andrea showed themselves and me 'n' Charlie kinda, half chased them around until they walked up to the shelter.

This was...a bit...long. I think I'll just...i dunno stop there.

tl;dr the party was pretty interesting.

Breakfast with a view of the crystal clear sea and the golden beaches while eating perfectly baked croissants with the perfect cup of coffee. Perfect.

That was this morning. We were staying at a resort. More on that later~ I'm gonna, like, sleep now.

A la Prochaine.

Seriously ._.

When someone posts something from tumblr/reddit and take credit for it:

But yeah, it's worse when they say "lol" or something. No offence. "lol" ain't the answer to everything. 

Overall more productive than usual. Only spent half as much time on the computer than usual which is still....about 3 hours. I managed to get about 5 hundred or so wallpapers so I guess it was worth it XD

Forgot to mention that THE SUN CAME OUT TODAY. It's good to see some blue sky again after these depressing, sullen, sulky, boring, greyish, dull, bitter, dismal, downcast, forlorn, glum, gloomy, despondent, bereav-- I think you get the point. 

Epitome. of. Awesome. right here. Damn, I should've kept going with parkour. Even the basics would've been good but I guess: coulda woulda shoulda. :/

Hamish and Andy are...well. they're just. awesome. I think.

Pointless Post .__.

I seriously need to get out of this house a LOT more often than I am already. 2 hours battlefield a day and 3 hours of computer on top of that plus an hour or two on maths as well. that's pretty much a school day wasted inside. I guess Mum just means to be protective so that we "don't talk to strangers" and get kidnapped 'n' stuff but I think 2 outings over two weeks is stretching it a bit. tumblr, facebook, blogger, 8tracks, hotmail as well as a whole lot of other sites are restricted until 4:30 in the afternoon. The weather really isn't helping. See, if I was alone at home (or if I had my own house), I'd probably be doing something productive right about now. With music blasting in the background.

SO. ICESKATING. Was pretty awesome. I'm assuming. Huh.

I need to find something to do. Other than computer. But nothing too productive. and since I'm limited to...5 kms of my house, something within my neighbourhood.

Oh wait, today's chin-up day.

That'll do, I guess.

Someone give me something to blog about. PLEASE.

INTERNET <3

YES. FINALLY. AFTER ONE EXCRUCIATING DAY WITHOUT INTERNET. IT'S BACK XD

I guess it was kinda #FirstWorldProblem yesterday but still, it was pretty bad. Or maybe that's just me.

So, quick post today.

- Radio is a lot of fun to listen to 93.3 from 11 till 1 is SBS PopAsia. EXO-M was on yesterday XD and so was SHINee and GG and TTS and some Taiwanese guy. 

- I should probably stop eating these double chocolate chip cookies. 

So SMTown had this concert in Tokyo sometime in April. I managed to find it. A concert involving my two favourite Asian countries, not bad :P It goes for an hour and a half. Video can be found here. 

I must've wasted about half my life doing this but here's the list and times for each band. 

0:00:43 f(x)

0:03:55 SHINee

0:08:10 Super Junior, KRY

0:12:54 SNSD

0:20:04 Super Junior, KRY

0:24:18 SNSD

0:29:11 SHINee

0:37:55 Super Junior

0:47:14 SNSD

0:51:51 BoA

0:55:09 DBSK

1:02:57 BoA

1:06:11 f(x)

1:09:30 SHINee

1:14:48 SNSD

1:18:08 Super Junior

1:21:49 DBSK

1:26:30 All In

If there's something wrong in there, tell me and I'll fix it up :P Umm, not much to say about it, just watch it :D

Y'know what, screw this, I'm gonna go play Battlefield and...not have a life. :P

A la Prochaine~

I think I can honestly say that this is the most excruciatingly slow internet that I have experienced in the last 16 and a half years. Even Internet Explorer at the airports were faster. Nevertheless, I'll probably get to the point. 

It's only been a day and a half, and our family is already bored to shits. The internet is practically dead and Mum limited me to 2 outings throughout the whole holidays. That'll undoubtedly change, but in the meantime, I'm stuck to: playing cello, playing piano, watching movies for the billionth time, drawing (on my wall, mainly), watching daytime tv, and probably trying to do something productive. 

You know what, I think I'm just gonna run around. Y'know, like run to different places rather than just driving, catching a bus or something. If I had a bike, then that would be heaps better but for now, I think my own legs will do. 

So while I'm waiting for my email to open, I'm gonna play three games of solitaire, three games of Hearts, run a lap around the world three times, become world famous, write a biography, come back and keep waiting for it to load.

Guys

Guys. Guys. GUYS. Like guuuiissee. I'm thinking about writing a book review on Reading for Alaska because, well-- for the hell of it (not to mention I've been looking for something productive to do), just so that my blog has some kind of review and that it's not completely about me and all about me and me being awesome. In other words, to be less narcissistic, put it that way.

Since it's holidays, I'm going to 1. Find something productive (like above) and perhaps more, 2. watch a couple of movies, 3. go rock climbing and 4. busk. 'Cause I'm a poor f***er like that. On the subject of busking, does anyone have any ideas for songs that I can play on cello? Something slow and (preferably) calming, since I don't want to end up making customers rush their Sunday Morning Shopping. If you happen to come up with some good ideas, pop them into the cbox on the right and I'll check 'em.

Moving on, I think my blog posts are either too wordy or other blogs have too many pictures on them. I think it's me. So. I'm gonna leave you with a shy cotton ball of "aww"

Oh and The Boat That Rocked is f***ing awesome.

So, the last week of school which means actually attending classes which consequently leads to receiving marks. To. Be. Honest. This hasn't been the best semester/term for me and I'm quite sure that the same could be said for a lot of people in one - if not multiple - subjects. Take Maths, for example. A handful of people aced that exam. A few more did considerably well. A lot more did average and a few more died in a metaphorical sense. I'm not sure how other people went but I'm sure feeling pretty shit about my mark. If it makes anyone feel any smarter, I got a D for Knowledge and Procedures. Yeah, I told my parents about it. Yeah, they gave a lecture about it and yeah, I don't feel so good about it nor am I glorifying the fact that I got a shitty mark (who would?). 

Just because you fucked up this exam or screwed this assignment real bad doesn't make you a bad person. You failed once, but that doesn't mean you failed your life. This is one tiny thing in a big ass life. We're 16, some 15 or 17. Hell, we have 80 - 90 years to live, so this is gonna be one minute mistake in your life. If your parents are gonna get pissed, let them get pissed. Take a little pain. After all, pain is temporary. It might last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but it will eventually subside and something else will take its place. If anything, call it experience. Call it conditioning. Give that thing you call pain a name so that you can take it rather than avoiding it. 

For anything that you do, no matter how embarrassing, no matter how terrible, 99.9999999% of the world's population really don't give a crap. You just happened to know that 0.0000001%.

And if you're ever feeling like you're the tiniest, most insignificant piece of s***, read this and remember it. Maybe you could tell this to someone next time they're feeling down: 

You're not small. You're not merely a microscopic mote floating around in space. You exist in a magnitude of size where you can simultaneously appreciate the vastness of the universe and the minuteness of molecules.

An accepted estimate for the number of stars in the observable universe falls on the order of 1022. There are around 1027 atoms in your body. You are 100,000 universes of atoms, shaped by hundreds of millions of years of evolution, who can marvel at your own consciousness. You are awesome.

Overall marks:

Maths: C/D (expected)

English: B 

French Extension: A

IT: B

Music: A

Drama: A/High B (expected)

So that's my report. Feel free to post some of your epic achievements in the Cbox. It's being taken over by a bunch of Anons...

Oh. And. Remember. There is no angry way to say bubbles. Try it.

Three weeks.

You have no idea how insanely happy I am to have finished off ALL my exams. I pretty much went to school, nervous as shit, and started practicing. Fast-forward a couple of hours and I'm on my way home :D Thing is, I forgot my keys so I spent 2 hours in my backyard trying to figure out how to pitch a curveball. No progress.

Three weeks. Three weeks from now, I'll be on my way to the airport. Three weeks and one day from now, I'll be watching a movie (maybe). Three weeks and two days, there's gonna be, like, a shitload of training 'cause, man, we are gonna need that.

Time really flies so I'm gonna need some rest.

Lately, there hasn't been much going on. Last week the school orchestra performed at a regional fanfare. I'm really not surprised that we didn't make it through. I mean, we kinda stood up at the wrong time and looked really awkward while trying really hard not to burst out laughing. Camerata was good though. Bitch, we aced it.

Have I talked about Looking for Alaska? Probably not, but it's a good book. I'm really not much for writing reviews but it's a big step up from the book that we had to read for English.

I managed to clean up my room. Big time. I changed around a few things, put my clothes back in the closet and got rid of everything but a lamp from my desk.

TBH, I'm not getting much thrill out of the internet anymore. Or as much as I used to be anyway. I think...I might've gotten a life :O no. No, that's unheard of.

OH. I managed to order myself a limited edition SNSD  Album with a bonus poster :3 but it takes about 12 weeks or so...but until then, I'm pretty happy about it :D

For now, I'm just gonna go draw on my bedroom wall~

oh and someone remind me to buy some spray paint. I need some of that stuff.

"Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked courage(...)and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that :

"If people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane."

Right in the feelings

So I've been reading up about fan theories and there were a few that really jumped out at me. One in particular was about Garfield. Here it is (edited for grammar):

How Garfield is actually dying of starvation, and just imagining Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween themed comic. Garfield woke up in a condemned and abandoned house. He calls out for Odie and Jon, but there is no answer. He then wills the illusion back on himself and continues his delusions about his 'family'.

I found this incredibly creepy and sad. In fact, I'm down stairs alone the only sounds I can hear is the computer whirring and me tapping the keyboard. Having just walked around the house once, I'm feeling incredibly alone. As if no one ever actually lived in your house at all. Sure, being home alone has its advantages but if you think about it in Garfield's perspective, it's quite...sad really. Yeah, eat all the food you want. Sleep as long as you want. Play games for as long as you want. Hell, watch porn as much as you want but eventually, you'll find that you're so, so alone. Since I've been with Garfield from the start, it actually brought a manly tear to my eye.

Imagine that. Waking up tomorrow on a cold and rainy morning and not finding anyone there. Calling out to your parents or your siblings. Going to the kitchen to find that the chairs have grown old, dust covered the tables and the paint had begun to crack.

There are some things that we take for granted. Even if it's just an everyday thing: Mum or Dad taking you to school. Mum cooking for you. Your brother or sister trying to annoy you. The simple comfort of having someone to be there for you. We spend every day expecting things.

Learn from it. Cherish it. By all means, you can hate it but at the end of the day you have a house, you have a home. You are the 1%. I actually spend nights thinking about how lucky we actually are. That we have a a stable environment, that I live in a safe neighbourhood.

All I'm trying to say is: don't take stuff for granted. Say thank you, say your sorry's and move on. No matter what, everyone will disappoint you. They won't mean to, but they will. Get over what ever you're mulling over about. Go out there and do it. Go to that person and say what you need to. Their reaction might not be what you expected but you all know that feeling of getting something off your chest.

I think I steered a little off somewhere there but I'll leave you guys with a quote:

Never regret something that once made you happy.

look it's a blog, right? you just blog whatever you feel like blogging. i...can't really put that in a metaphor but if you find one, just feel free to tell me :P

So here goes: a list of gifs that i happen to have~






Yeah. I've had this...thing for the last week or so. Pretty much while I was sick. Most of the pictures were either too big or didn't work D:

Right, so. How would I put this? I am insanely happy that I've got my Maths B assignment away, my english review is due in a week (plenty of time, I'm sure) and exams are sounding like a breeze at the moment. They probably won't in about a week's time but still, I'll enjoy while I can. For now, I'll just stock up on my Girl's Generation shit and be on my way. Otherwise, I'll be blogging. or something.

I'm actually kinda glad that my dad cuts my internet:

5 minutes of work, better check facebo--

what about 8tra--

Can I just check my ema--

YOUR WHAT?

WELL-- wait wut ._.

SO. about my GG obsession that someone requested me to blog about.

So pretty much, I started listening to "Mr Taxi" a lot more than usual. Then I continued on to tumblring them, then more music, then researching then HOPEFULLY thinking that they might, at some point, decide to come to Brisbane. Which - obviously - isn't happening any time soon. Since they're in LA doing SMTown stuff. D:

So that's my state thrown into about 3 sentences. Since I'm still polishing up my maths, I'm gonna throw on some GG and keep working.

Pretty much nothing to see here.

So right now, I'm partying my f***ing arse off having just finished my Maths B assignment. Pretty much all I did was have myself pretend that it was due the next day so that at the end of it, I could tell myself: Assignment you can't do the night before? Bitch Please, I just did that. Doesn't in any way mean that I'm actually gonna get myself an A for it.

So I've been sick for the past week and I only just realised the up-side to it: I have this freakin awesome Thor voice XD it's pretty, like, awesome :3 Just thought I should put that here.

I pretty much forgot what I was gonna blog about today...

Well that's awkward.

should i just
