my goal in life:

to be so rich that ever day activities have a very high opportunity cost. heres an example for you non economics people:

when the cars ashtray gets full, it would be cheaper to replace the car than for me to empty out the ashtray.

so SMH has changed its story, the first victim never knew the shooter.

turtistic loner they called him, and 'so close to her mother, she wud call her everyday' it reports.

the headlines yesterday was "one jealous boyfriend, 2 guns, 33 dead".

no that theres no more jealous boyfriend, does that mean he's cleared? wheres the motive anymore - "you caused me to do this" , how generic.

why are there still no pictures of any asians at all, 60 faces so far and stasticcally speaking that should be nearly 4 ppl. wouldn't you be asking the asians first?

are people even going to try and looking for a motive, or are people williing to accept crazy asian guy on rampage decides to kill innocent girl next door for no reason. what made her so innocent anyway?

what i would really like to see is some accounts from his friends or family.

and whats with this "grotesque story" theory?

when whithered old male, tarintino does it - its called a movie , some people even say its good.

but suddenly when some asian young dude does it, its all freaky n shit.

Asians fear backlash after shooting

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,21577508-1702,00.html?from=public_rss

Me too.

There seems to be major inconsistensies with the three major news sources that i read; Mx, news.com.au and SMH

Mx and news.com.au are apparently both controlled by news corp, but even within the own company things are very different, and smh just gives totallt different accounts.

Mx says that the first victim was never his girlfriend, and he was just stalking her. SMH and news.com.au both say it was his gf, but smh adds to say that she was cheating on him.

theres also varying counts of either 33 or 32 dead, depending on whether they want to include the killer in the toll or not.

and why does the first victim have to the the "innocent country girl" - Mx, yet the asian guy the "loner"

although news.com.au reports 6.2% asian students registered at the uni (their raw data from other reports suggest at least 6.4%) of the 25 or so visible pages in mx, 1.6 of them should be asian, i mean smh described a "large asian community" why are there no asians in the picture?

maybe it reminds me of this:

http://rememberdennys.blogspot.com/

i mean if you really read the news reports, ignore the shooting thing, the descriptions of the korean dude make him sound quiet and gentle - his roomate said she never thought "he could do something like this" - smh.

Theres hundreds of inconsitencies out there, infact it took them 12 hrs to find out who the killer was - but only 20min or so for columbine - what was the difference? if u find a girlfriend dead, don't you just find the bf first? noone seems to call her his girlfriend except for the news, i mean if he was such a loner would he have a girlfriend in the first place?

even the guy who sold him the gun said it wasn't suspicious, and the serial number was scratched off as well - if you're going to blow your own head off with a legally bought gun, why do u need to hide the serial number?

Mx says

"hilscher had never mentioned him to those closer to her, and family friend
john mccarthy said that if he was driven by love, it had never been
reciprocated"

am i meant to believe that this person

"In a several-page-long note found in his dorm room after the massacre, the
23-year-old student wrote: “You caused me to do this”, according to ABC
News.
The note included a rambling list of grievances, the Chicago Tribune
reported. "

can write so calmly:

"But among his English class peers, Cho was known for writing gory, morbid plays
that belied his silent presence in class, the campus newspaper has reported. "

about gore?

Perhaps the quote from those closest to him should actually mean something:

"He was, like, normal," Mr Grewal, a 21-year-old accounting major, told the
Tribune. He said he went back to sleep but, according to authorities, Cho stayed
awake. "He did not seem like a guy that's capable of anything like this,"
Mr Grewal said. "

and mx says "cho grew up in a comfortable two-storey house in centreville viginia, 32km from washington"

then why does news.com.au say this:

"According to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, the man came to the US
last year on a student visa issued in Shanghai. "

none of this really makes sense. the doors were locked.no actually saw him shoot anyone. how do we really know he did it?

conspiracy? boycott?

Contradictory Results

A few years ago, the New England Journal of Medicine published a study that
evaluated various types of professional education as if they were financial
investments.

The idea was to see if doctors were overpaid, by considering primary and
specialty medical education as investments and comparing them with investing in
education in business, law, and dentistry (but not university professors -- that
would have been too embarassing). Adjustments were made for differences
in average working hours. The authors found that primary medicine was the
poorest investment of all of these. Specialty medicine did better, but was
not out of line with the other professions.

In the results was this oddity: By the criterion of the net present
value of lifetime educational costs and income benefits, specialist physicians
tied for highest with attorneys. Both were ahead of business school
graduates.
However, by the criterion of the internal rate of return,
specialty physicians, with a 21% average return, were well behind the attorneys'
25% average return, while the business school graduates' 29% average return was
the highest of all. The present value and the internal rate of return
ranked the alternatives differently!

By the way, since this article's 1994 publication, managed care has forced
specialty physician incomes down by perhaps one-third. This has sharply
lowered the investment value of a specialty medical education.

Microsoft tightened up its validation last month, so i had to find new ways to work around that annoying windows genuine advantage.

So after i validated, windows kept on telling me about all the cool stuff i cud get if my windows was real. since i have a 'real' copy, i downloaded everything i cud, this included;

Calculator PLUS, yea - plus now. whats extra? nothing besides a convert tool and a new look. apart from that its just as ugly as before.

Save as PDF or XPS for Word and Excel 2007. It sounds pretty useless, you realise you need it more than you think you do.

Get started tab for Word and Excel 2007. This sounds pretty useless , and is - because it doesn't work.

and that was pretty much it. Apart from the the things like security updates, WMP11 and IE7 - theres not much advantage of being genuine, so you're not really missing out on much.

There are like 3000000 templates and tutorials for office users, but i doubt this would be much use for people.

So anyway, the moral of my story is that in microsofts attempt to try to deny me of software, i just download more so they lose more, considering i have never owned a legal peice of software since windows 1995.

Is you Windows software legal? i've uploaded the check here:

travelpass

2007-04-12T00:13:00.000+10:00

5 years ago when i lost my ~~travelpass~~railpass for the first time, i was like "oh shit a whole $20 to replace it, how am i ever going to afford that".

4 lost rail passes later, and now i used a travel pass every week that costs me more to replace the year-valid rail pass to let me travel for only a week.

and i totally agree with http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21542564-2,00.html

only the general public can so be self obsessed and niave that they think they can end the world. if the world does end, and if everyone dies, it will be at the hands of something bigger and smarter than us.

saloon

2007-03-29T21:48:00.000+10:00

although i catch a train thats probably carrying more people than is legally allowed, there are a few advantages;

being a train thats going towards the city, theres always tonnes of school kids, since the government decided that if kids were closer to the city, it would mean they were smarter, and therefore more important than the rest of us.

anyway, point is - when a schoolgirl, or some office receptionist is in the saloon of the train (the area as soon as you walk into the train) , she is most likely in the middle of the train or at least in the view of a majority of the people there.

when she whips out this months dolly, cleo or cosmo - perhaps only a few people look , and most likely one or two metro/gay/perverted guys will "just check out the artcles".

but as soon as you hear the tear of a perforated seal, in an instant most of the guys will all focus on that sealed section, and probably will focus on "50 sex tips to drive your man wild" for the rest of the crowded train. the fact that one person does it, justifies to every other person on the train that its pefectly normal to ogle and stare.

-so i guess thats an advantage for me, because i can now read sealed sections without having to look like a pervert, or buying a girls magazine, all on a train ride.

to make up for it.

2007-03-28T22:08:00.000+10:00

that chick on stevens blog was hotttttttttttt

so since he posted about his wednesday, i'll post my wednesday.

catching the 8.06 to central "slow" train, i get to central around 8.40. - this train takes twice as long as my regular train. some tennis freaks along with a gay coupl have booked the last remaining courts that aren't booked by some snobby primary school who gets to have their sports day at UNSW village green + the precious remaining tennis courts. underbooking means we've been kicked off at 11:ooam promplty.

alwyn was visiting today, so after our XL cokes at maccas, we left our 1hr warm seats to find food. alwyn eats sandwhiches in the library. i've realised most people at unsw , let alone any other uni with no proper food establishments around eat properly.

so we're off to honey wok, restraunt no5 in our campaign to eat everwhere in kensington. we get the beef cube steak in xo, curry beef hotpot, fish fillet in xo, crispy skin chicken and the favourite of the table, salt and pepper squid. (sorry no photos). we walked in around 12pm, and walk out around 2pm. We made a mess of the table , and were in there for a while, i decided to be generous and leave a $2 tip (WHOA rich unis student)

it was 52.80 and i didn't wanna give $60 - so i just gave $55, but now i felt it was more appropiate to leave $60, since it was a nice lunch.

then its 2 hrs of sitting at the oval, doing a bit of study/talk

why is that oval so empty? its full of couples i realised - why do more people flock to the library lawn? it looks disgusting when its overcrowded, and same for the quad lawn -its as if they were waiting for a live band to come out. it just violates the scarity principle.

we're also wondering, should usyd people visit unsw, or should unsw go off to usyd - so far most people from unis like uws, maq, uts etc have been visiting unsw, so therefore i think since unsw is better everyone should go to unsw to meet up =)

so its 4pm, which means i have a lecture to go to, my first lecture for the day. 1 hr of me eating tictacs to stay awake, and then i sit on the bus - trying to hold in my laughter that theres these ex-sefton girls bitching about sefton, unknown that we ex-seftoners are sitting directly under her amrpit (since she was holding onto a rail).

i miss my train, since i accidently grab the wrong ticket, so i have to wait a whole 3min for my next train.

out of all days, wednesday is my most tiring and thought intensive;

9am start;
2hrs of tennis,
1hr of drinking
2hrs of eating
2hrs of the uni lawn
1hr of lecture
1hr of standing on the train.

and who says commerce people "only" have 12 hrs?

i get anxious when shops are closed - and that means specifically christmas where shops are adamantly closed for two consecutive days.

i mean what are you sposed to do on a public holiday when the shops are closed, i mean sure u can stock up the day before - but what happens when u run out of sausages, or drinks??

needless to say i was pretty much stuck in shopping centers on thursday, friday, saturday and wednesday. probably the four most busiest days in the shopping calendar and consider that shops were open till midnight.

another thing that makes me freak is lack of tv. uno if u drive 2 hrs in any direction from sydney - eveyrthing changes. tv changes. i never knew tv was so specific to local cities. its so weird, another 2 hrs and theres no such thing as water restrictions.

my christmas hasn't been so dependent on food this year as it usually is - but moreso of travelling and family, which balances out - since they make me lose my apetite. i think i saw khaled at the entrance with his family.

i also stole from the national park =O

andd for the first time i spent some holidays with a complete set of strangers that i didn't know - which i wish i could do so much often. when one of the kids annoys you - you can yell at them without getting a dirty from their parents.

Here is my mandatory uai/end of hsc post:

in 2005, seftons rank was 30somthing? 40something? - something like thtat
2004 it was 50 something ( i think)

and in 2006 , it was 50 something as well.

Im thinking; my uai estimate calculated for 2004 that i would get a uai of 96. - if we performed the same we did in 2004, then shouldn't i get that calculated uai?

yea yeah im sure there will be people going "but doesnt mean you..." or "but that means..."

but just let me dream that i got ripped off instead of actually letting myself down =)

cynical again

2006-12-24T00:36:00.000+11:00

there is no such thing as last minute christmas shopping.

you can't call that christmas shopping.

Screaming kids, and badgered parents... at the end of each day - theres nothing left on the shelves. only rejected, broken and opened useless gifts that nobody wanted to give, not even to the worst of their relatives.

At the end of the day, with 10min to shop and hands full of bags you realise you need to cut your losses, and start again tomorrow. Yes, shopping for that one extra gift will mean that you endure another day of that

The day day after u walk in early and you're suprised - the floor is actually visible, theres no hundreds of shoes on the floor or ripped open bags of lollies and detached hampers. The shelves are restocked and last nights coke spill is gone - and the you realise that some poor bugger must have had to clean up that mess all nite.

i saw a mum who wouldn't get her kid some huge ass barbie, then the kid just started to scream out "i don't know you anymore" "i don't know you anymore". it was more between and shrill and a sob, but i couldn't tell properly because she was banging the floor with her hands.

now i know why rhodes never built target, or bigw or kmart - and only have boring specialty stores that ppl feel like are more specialised and therefore more refined and better (a la shaver shop - who really goes there to buy a shaver?). no kids, no muss no fuss. theres the occasional sticky seat from the icecream covered hands when corporate mummy and daddy can't find a baby sitter that can cook a foie gras steak for their bub.

except when daylight came...

7.30am... Tuesday morning, the morning after:

Andy dead and snorting money.

Stoned Hao.

Ray feeling like shit

Tj telling me to piss off.

And gone.. probably sleeping on the bus or partying again..

The clean up for me (they were really clean) and the hang out.

So basically after the formal i have no mental nor photographic recollection of exactly what happened

Windows Media Player 11: A bit less user friendly, but funky nonetheless.

Microsoft Office 2007: Looks a bit like a mac... Much more functional. Comes with 10 programs.

Photoshop CS2: for what else, but photoshopping.

The culinary world is one of the most susceptible to fashion and fads;; bread making, 70's recipe revivals

in the beginning of the year it was hand made pasta. every cook book, food magazine and food blogger had to have some dedication to pasta.

A few months ago, it was cupcakes.

Currently (and still to some) - the must have is panna cotta.

Id just thought id tell you this so when you see magzines polluted with 101 recipes for panna cotta, then you will be reminded of me

even though last night could be desribed as the shittest ever (for a myriad of reasons) this morning - or was it last nights? - sleep was the best i ever had. I slept at 1. then i woke up . It was bright and sunny, and i thought. OMFG i feel so awake.. and its so nice outside, not cold and dank - i must have over slept and failed my hsc - it was only 6am.

I feel like i've slept all week - so energised =)

and in hsc related bludging

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/students-late-for-exams-after-cityrail-problem/2006/10/23/1161455633574.html

The kids get an extra 30min for being late, and they also get driven.

Call me slack, but i thought this whole HSC thing was sposed to teach you
responsibility and all that stuff that people promise you when you "try your
best" - but when is anyone ever going to get you a taxi just because city rail
was late ? It always was late, and always will be. If you ask me, thats what you
get for going to a city school just so you can be "pretigious" or going to a
school in the middle of nowhere so you can become a docotor.

and this chick gets a car for over 80. I've heard a tonne of people will
get a car if they get over 80. sure 80 is hard so some people to get, but just
cause u did your best doesn't mean you should get a car. Since when did society
ever reward the guy who finished last, but tried his best?

Parents know it. In wanting more for our children, we lose our sense of
balance: "Sarah is very focused. She might go out occasionally on a Saturday
night but she's always home by 12. She even took her books with her on our
holiday." This is a good thing?

"I'm worried sick about Josh. He's hardly doing any work. Whenever
I ask him why, he tells me there is more to life than the HSC." This is a bad
thing?

Thats exellent =) although sarah sounds like a nerd, and josh sounds like a
hobo.

in typical me fashion, i've left everything till the last minute. i've screwed myself over.

nono im not talking about hsc etc crap.. actually yea i am, but someting different..

... if anyone reads this..

WHAT ARE WE SPOSED TO DO TOMORROW?
OMFG I FOGOT? UNIFORM? NON UNIFORM? CAUSE RICKNAMS' BLOG CONFUSED ME.

EXACTLY AT 9.25 OR A BIT EARLIER... 25MIN EARLY? 60MIN EARLY? AND IS THE FRONT OF THE ROOM COUNTED AS THE "EXAM ROOM" (AS IN CAN I LEAVE MY SHIT THERE AND NOT GET ZERO FOR IT) AND CAN I BRING MY JELLY BEANS? AND OFMGOFMGFDGADOF.......

OMFG

2006-10-15T19:59:00.000+10:00

I think i have overstudied

Now that i've said that, most of you are probably laughing. "you? studying?"

or "so what, was that twice as much as your usual 20min a week?"

Its times like these im lucky that you weren't sitting next to me, otherwise id shove a fist full of past papers up your belly button - because then id have to wash your blood off my hands a WHOLE FREAKING 4 DAYS BEFORE THE HSC OMFG.

All the year 11's are funny. I hope i didn't sound like that when i was in yr11.

I study one subject.. and im like OMFG IM GONNA SMASH THE EXAM. ALRIGHT NEXT SUBJECT!

then 2min after reading my notes... - WOOSH, all gone out the window, my brain makes way for the new subject. Teachers always tell me that your brain is like a sponge thats why you have to read every nite to soak in information so that it sticks. Well im sorry, but my brain is full . everytime i pour maths onto it, it squishes all my techniques on screw-a-necki out.

And mr green was right.. AGAIN. I will enjoy the exams, crossing it off and never having to study or look at that stuff again. EVER EVER EVER EVER again. not even for fun,.

i finally did it

2006-09-30T16:23:00.000+10:00

I've done it. I've cleaned my room for the last time before the HSC. I've stacked and stored all my notes. No need to ever oranise them again. They're all by subject, in the right order.

all my computerised notes in the world. 511mb. Nearly a CD's worth of notes. ONLY a CD's worth of notes. I'd expected for the 6 subjects that i do, and after 2 years, id have more than 1000 pages of notes, but thats all i have =S

And as for my paper notes.. three folders, bulging full of notes, past papers, diagrams, photocopies, tables, hints, sample answers...

Just alone for english i have a 200 page folder for it.

Theres about 60 maths past papers there.

And it only weighs 5kg.

It took me an entire 2 years to collect them all, but i did it. I collected them all. Every subject archived from 1997, with examiners comments, past papers and sample answers. And, not a single hand written note in sight, because they're either been replaced by more superior notes, or typed up.

about 200 pages per science.. about 200 pages for maths, for english -100 for religion..

and only 500 hours left.

2006-09-28T20:48:00.000+10:00

it took 2 years, but today made it all worthwhile.

It really did, i don't mean today as in just seeing our entire school blow all the past concerts into oblivion, and will make the rest of the yr12 concerts from now on look crap, but the whole idea of finishing it properly.

Maybe it was just cause it was our year that made it better, but it was mad.

I felt like instead of shaving, i painfully have been ripping out every single hair by hand. Painful, but the end result made it all worthwhile.

If anyone didn't realise....

...dihydrogen monoxide is water.

Are we all that gulible

2006-07-19T20:57:00.000+10:00

BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:
is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions! Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today.
But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer! The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

thats one interesting thing for today. Anyone willing to sign a petition to ban DHMO?

Monaco explains,

“The irony here is that we know very well that we must learn to read before we can attempt to enjoy or understand literature, but we tend to believe, mistakenly, that anyone can read a film. Anyone can see a film, even cats.
Like language, film can be analysed in detail to show how meaning is conveyed through the aggregation of discrete units. The author of a novel exploits not only the denotative meanings of the words, but also their connotations and the syntax of the sentences to suggest the meaning. The reader of the page creates a mental image based on the text to complete the process of communication. Meaning is the product of the interaction between author, text and reader. The director of a film, likewise, exploits not only the denotative meanings of the images but also their connotations and the syntax of the sequences of shots to show meaning. The viewer of the film draws on his/her understanding of filmic codes and conventions to complete the process of communication, uniting the director, film and viewer in the process of deriving meaning."

You Are 80% Boyish and 20% Girlish

You have a tough exterior - and usually a tough interior to match it.
You're no nonsense, logical, and very assertive.
Sometimes you can't understand women at all, even if you're a woman yourself.
You see things rationally, and don't like to let your emotions get the best of you.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

I realise most of the people who call me girly look more manly than Arnie, and wouldn't know what a girl is - nor even what a boy is. damm hermaphrodites...

I also REALLY want to add... Garden State, and the kitchen.

Why do people say my parents are old.

Like seriously, why have they got to point it out like its a disability.

They're not really "old" just "older"

People will say things like. "Oh you can stay up cause your parents are old"...

wtf.

Why do they say i can't talk to them because we have nothing to talk about since they're old.
Is it because you think old people can't talk? What, because we have an age gap? Eveyrone has an age gap. unless you're born on the same second.

I probably have more coverstaions with my parents than most. Most people just whine. Or bitch. or get told off. Or complain.

About school, about crap, or listening to their parents telling them off for being stupid or some crap like that.

Id doubt anyone actually has any coverstaions with their parents because they're too underdeveloped to think for themselves, thus always rely on their mothers and fathers to contiously monitor them while they feed off their mothers nipple.

I can cook. I can clean. I can live for myself. I can think for myself. I can speak for myself.

Ah. Maybe thats it - people point out that my parents are "old" because they wonder if i'll die without my mothers nipple in my mouth.

Just for intrest - i talk about food and wine, we talk about wars and politics, we teach each other things, and we share. Id like to see anyone do that.

Red Curtain

2006-04-30T21:51:00.000+10:00

I watched TV with my glasses today, i only use my glasses at school, or for K - but today i decided to watch big brother with my glasses, for which reasons shall be known later.

I've never realised how incredibily clear my TV is. Its a LG 42" HD Plasma. I could see every spot on michaels face. Every wrinkle one karens, and every detail of krystal's (theres your reason) face.

I also got the red curtain trilogy today. The collectors edition. =)

Thats a collectors edition of moulin rouge. A collectors edition of Romeo + juliet and a collectors edition of strictly ballroom.. and a collectors edition red curtain DVD.

^^

On a lovely TV ^^

2006-04-30T18:15:00.000+10:00

Krystal is a cancerian =)

She also said that the most naked she'd ever get is a G-string

And she says shes never had a one night stand.

maybe the inital impression of the whole "i-did-a-boob-job-with-my-hippie-mum" thing threw me off.

I'm gonna have two numbers now, both optus prepaid, my old one + one that changes every month ^^. I just have to get my 7600 to work. Seems the problem wasn't my sim card =S i got three new sim cards, and none of them work.

If my beloved 7600 finally sees its last days, i'll move onto my older 8210, which i actually like. If i can't use that, then i'll just stick with a 7210.

So far, the 7600 aint looking good, and neither is the 8210, so i'll end up having a 7210 and a 7250i =S

Elizabethtown

2006-04-25T15:32:00.000+10:00

Elizabeth town is good. =)

The voice behind elmo was on oprah today, he's a 45 year old black man with a voice deeper than me. He's the worlds richest puppeteer!

I love sesame street =) - after watching elmo i had an urge to have chicken nuggets and wedges.

The phone scene in Elizabethtown was the best ^^, and i can't remember the last time i watched a movie that good. It wasn't like blow my shirt off WOW, but there was everything a good movie needs. Eye candy, music, good cinematography - with a dash of humour and corniness.

And the eye candy has to be loveable eye candy, (unlike Gong Li in Memoirs of a Geisha) - and it was probably the first movie i've watched in years that had actual character development, then again i havn't watched anything lately...

I've still got
*Chicken little
*Just like heaven
*Garden state
to watch

I think fashion week started on anzac day today. I think thats just weird when they can change daylight savings a whole week earlier, but not a fete for one more day. Not that i actually care about the whole respect thing and all that, just its fun to bitch.

Since no one's gonna watch elizabethtown, or will probably stop watching it after the first 5min, most of the movies i watch (since theres no cars blowing up, to keep the goldfish occupied) the phone scene is the best, and what happens is that they talk on the phone all night (mobile i might add) they go to the toilet on the phone (while muting the phone when flushing), they clean out the kitty litter on the phone, they go to sleep on the phone, and then they wake up, and drive and meet each other at 6am in the morning without a single moment of sleep.

Sounds boring, but i just felt like typing it here so i don't forget.

Oh, i've just downloaded death cab for cuties songs + elizabethtown sound track =)

2006-04-23T23:38:00.000+10:00

You're only the best at what you do because everyone else is shit at it =)

i don't get why fashion designers and fashion "experts" are so ugly and dress so gay.

And i watched Hitch and Stepford Wives. And i don't know why, but i think the clip for "stupid girls" is mega shit.

2006-04-22T15:21:00.000+10:00

i just made wonton noodles.

from SCRATCH

Except for the prawns.. and the mince and the soup, everything else pretty much was handmade.

The noodles, the wonton wrappers, the pepper grown from my garden, the herbs etc.

Sure it took an extra hour or two, but was it worth it?

nop.

Oh. one of my catfish died, and im watching the other fish eat it...

HITCH

2006-04-22T03:39:00.000+10:00

HITCH was a good movie.

could have used some more eye candy tho. and "i love you" was said a bit too much for someone who's watching it aone at 3.30am alone.

Im sick of porkchops. I've had them everyday for the last 4 days.

one day i should blog like a snooty yr11 girl/hard yr 11 guy and talk about every irrelevant and insignificant detail like how i was on the phone with blah. then met up with blah. then i went on net. then i got asked to this. then i went to my sisters house. then i won this then i did that n this n that

idiom for isolation

2006-04-19T00:55:00.000+10:00

a watered down conception of the fustrastion within my life.

i come home at 4.30

I preheat the oven.

I chop and marinade the vegetables

I prepare the steaks and sausages

I preheat the oven to 180

I put the spinach and cheese chicken roll in the makeshift-bbq-turned-oven.

And then it begins.

6.30 my mother walks into the backyard. She opens my perfectly heated makeshift-bbq-turned-oven, and while releasing all the heat i've perfectly sealed in, she murmurs various things.

"why'd u buy this, its so expensive"
"aww how come u used this tin? its still new (yea, 10 years new)"
"Are you sure its gonna cook like this? You need to keep it covered"

just to name a few

Then i almost snap at her and say "i did this so u didn't hafta cook tonight and your still here messing around" - the kitchen is my mothers territory. I dare enter it, and cook upon it, but she'll try to shoot down anyone who enters. But this was the BBQ. My BBQ, i've suffered many smoke burns and cinged hairs form it. I'm a verteran of the BBQ.

Then i try to get all the vegetables roasted in 30min, in a 80degree open hood "oven"

Then i take everything inside. within the first 30seconds of eating, my mum says ,

"we shud have some rice and bread incase theres not enough to eat."

translation: "i need some bread so i don't go hungry tonight, since i can't eat anthing anyone else makes."

I've cooked over 6kg of meat here. theres even another 3kg worth of vegetables.

Then, immediately after that, my dad sniffs the chicken.

"its got no flavour. wheres the soy sauce"

then he prods my lamb forequarters

"why did we have to get this cut of meat" (as if he knows the difference)"

so while he's there drowning his plate in soysauce, i have the best meal i've had in weeks. my sister thinks so too, and the other one, so eats suasages with her hands, and my sisters boyfriend, who for some reason, i think he hates meat, since he aint touching his plate all that much - or he hates it.

Either way, 6kg meat is nearly gone..

I pack up the table, and my sister smiles to me

"I'm so full, i can't remember when i ate that good"

MENU

Lamb forequarters

Roast Lamb and Baby Colbain potatoes

Sauted Onions with Crispy Grilled Sausages

Country vegetables

Roast Spinach and Cheese Chicken Roll

This is the food that i would die for. Keep your Caviar and Foie Gras, your truffles and belgium chocolate.

Simple, Hearty - and something to cook for fun.

2006-04-13T13:17:00.000+10:00

Finally started FF-X2

after having it on my shelf for... 8 months.. and after being on the market for 12..

aahahah today i'll attempt to clean up the mess i call my room. I can't see carpet anymore, its simply a layer of papers scattered sporadically. They're a result from trying to do as much work as i can, by minimising the effort to put them in the bin, acheived by simply tossing them onto the ground.

Everyones been telling me how well they've been doing in their exams. Running out screaming "IT WAS SO EASY" or "I SMASHED IT" or "I DIDN"T EVEN STUDY AND I GOT FULL MARKS". Even people who flunked found a learning experience - "thats it after this im gonna rip the hsc". Of course, i hear that every time we have exams, and with no exception - myself also.

On one hand i have me - the nonchalant me, characteristic of a hobo. and then theres evil ambition within, characteristic of a mummy's boy from a school-which-shall-not-be-mentioned.

It makes me realise that i don't take enough risks. I think its these two sides that conflict each other. One wants to sit at home and play wc3 all day, but is scared of eating baked beans for the rest of his life.

The other wants to make billions so that he can rub it in peopels faces by eliminating poverty with only a few million, and also to make people shrivel up when they've heard i've become something. But this person is scared of being a slut to society, and undoubtly at the age of 40, run screaming out of his CBD office naked screaming "I"VE WASTED MY LIFE!"

I think this makes me plan too much ahead. Not planning things like .. "WHAT DO I WANT TO GROW UP TO BE: um i want to be.. an astronaut" no, not that. Planning things on how to avoid planning. Things like making sure i can maximise my centerlink payments in the future. Mayb i should take a risk and fix myself to something. actually commit. and actually stay with it when i fail, and jump for joy when i succeed.

Well. theres the philosophical me that hasn't blogged for 3 weeks. But behind that, i think all i wanted to say is that maybe i should take more risks.

study

2006-04-12T21:48:00.000+10:00

No more exams. Here are some study tips that got me through.

If you think one pen will suffice in the exam, it'll run out. If you think two is enough, they both will run out. The only way to ensure u have enough pens is to bring more than you can carry.

All teachers say the more you read something, the more you learn it. Thats why you should stay up the night before until 6am reading your excel over and over again.

The time in textbooks is always wrong. If they say it takes a year to learn the entire maths syllabus, they mean a month. If excel say it takes a month to revise, they mean a night.

On the other hand, during ur exam time is an entirely different thing. Sometimes if they say "leave 40mins for this section" you either only need 10min or an hour.

cramming never works, but neither does studying.

Everything you study for won't be in the exam, and vice versa. In general, everything that can go wrong in an exam, will.

Finally, don't worry about your end result. It will never be good enough. Even if you come first in your school, someone in another school is better than you. If your the best in the state, someone in the country is better than you. And if you're the best in the world, your obviously wasting your time in school, or you've repeated one too many times.

i did it my way

2006-04-10T23:26:00.000+10:00

theres this scene in evangelion, where shinji, this annoying teenage boy who whines about everything from why cornflakes are so ugly, to why he has to save the world - tries to run away because the whole world is immensly ugly, and slowly kills us all.

Anyway, while hes running away because he feels like everyone wants him to be something, all he wants to do is sit at home, play his ps2, and occasionally go out for food, and he keeps on wonder why the world is so slack, because simply, hes so useless because everyone else is so good because they've become sluts to society

anyway. so he runs away. then this "angel" comes. It blows one of his friends to peieces. Like full into peices, she actually gets turned into vapor, after being in 50 tonnes of steel. Then this "angel" tries to kill the whole world, and while doin so, it cuts of his other friends arms, this chick that he has the hots for. Then this "angel" cuts off her freakin head.

so shinji finally goes "sigh. i guess i'll just go and save the world then". so he gets in this enourmous hunk of junk, and then tries to kill this thing. The thing sorta stops him, and beats the living shit out of him, hes on the floor, having his face and insides ripped apart, and then he gets his arms fucking ripped off his body.

what to do? he's basically unconcious, but then out of no where, his robot goes fucking beserk. It gets up, rips the arm off the "angel" and replaces it with his own. Then what does it do? it fucking eats the thing. It rips it apart, then opens ups its insides, and eats and eats and eats, and theres bits of freak hanging off his mouth, and it just eats and eats and eats while having half his body ripped apart.

Anyway. thats how i feel. I feel like the crazy person who eats freaky angels, and the one being decappitated, or blown up. Also the people watching people eat people. and also the person having his insides being torn apart and laid out like dinner for four.

Your type is the girl next door

Cute, fun, and sweet, your ideal girl is just a stone's throw away - she's the girl next door. She's Sandra Bullock, Billie Piper, and Meg Ryan all rolled up into one. Naturally pretty rather than glamorous, she's unpretentious and generous. She loves animals and children, and is great with both. You're attracted to her strong values and traditional ways. Although she demands great respect, she's not particularly high-maintenance. Her ideal date is more likely to be dinner and a film than heading out for a night on the town. She's careful yet spontaneous - a bit of the guy's girl, a bit of a cover girl (the nice kind), and just a hint of the hippie chick. But she's got an appeal that's all her own, which is why you can't stay away. Her winning smile, bright eyes, and loving nature make you want to hold on tight and never let go.

BRRR - ITS COLD IN HERE. THERE MUST BE SOME EXAMS IN THE ATMOSPHERE O-E-O-E-O-E ice...ice...ice...

Its a rollercoaster of "OMFG IM FUCKING FUCKED" and "at least i've tried my best" in terms of exams. Of course, i only say both of those things because im scared - which never has happened before.

I say OMFG IM FUCKING FUCKED, because i feel like i am. I regret being a lazy ass.

and i say "at least i've tried my best" to justify the end result.

Regardless, im tripping.

At least when i finish these exams, i get to do my favourite thing ^^ =))

Gill Rot

2006-03-26T21:11:00.000+11:00

On friday night, i quarrantined pinky into a seperate tank where i could get lots of oxygen to it.

I figured out that it was on the bottom of the tank, due to oxygen depravation, and in two days time, i woke up and found pinky swimming around happily ^^

I let it swim for a couple hours, and returned it into the normal tank. On closer examination, i think i've found out what the cause is. Gill Rot.

I still can't believe i paid $40 for a FX-82AU.

I've got a sore throat from nem noung and chao tom - and i've got lotsa work to do =
And i feel really crook, the whole headache, tired, stuffy feeling. That Gill rot looks pretty bad.. apart from that, pinky's fine. Still don't know how there can be a lack of oxygen in that tank.. i'm using twice as many pumps as i should, and if i wasn't worried about extra oxygen creating extra bateria, id put more.

Pinky

2006-03-23T19:57:00.000+11:00

Pinky... one of the first three shubunkins in my tank.. recently got sick.

It wasn't because i was neglegent or anything- pinky was just born sick.

It was the cutest one, its see through - so it appears pink with the normal eye. - and its got two googly black eyes.

It usually never ate. It was always the smallest, and the slowest. - and recently i noticed it was looking weird, its body was bent all out of shape, and bloated in some areas, while bone thin n others.

Even if its just deformed... It can't eat properly =( now it just lies on the bottom gasping for air... skwed to one side =(

Occasionally it has a burst of energy and swims to the surface, but like and candle in the wind - i think its goodbye for pinky =((

HSCUAI

2006-03-21T20:54:00.000+11:00

I just HAVE to say it.

HSC and UAI are COMPLETELY different.

There. i said it. I'll probably regret it when i have a billion asians screaming at me " BUT THEY ARE THE SAME. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU DO THE HSC. BUT THEY ARE THE SAME. YOU'RE STUPID. YOU'RE CYNICAL. YOU'RE DEPRESSING. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS."

They are different for a million reasons. If you beg to differ - tell me at the end of the HSC -

SIGH

Unagi Vol Au Vent's

2006-03-21T16:16:00.000+11:00

Im not sure how others would react - but how about if i was: a food journalist? Or perhaps even a culinary tour guide?

i've commented a couple times on how little variety there was in my pantry - but my garden was plenty enough to feed even the most hungry, and fickle eater. Theres always a constant supply of:

Guavas, Sugarcane, Spring onions, Green, Red, Orange and Purple Chillies, Figs, Blood Plums, Baby Mandarins, Sweet potato, Bitter Gourd, Winter Melon, Aloe Vera, Ginger, Lemon Grass, Lime, Lemon, Vietnamese Basil, Mint - and billion other herbs

Not to mention the occasional supply of Mangoes, Rocket, potatoes etc..

There was a time when there was always fresh eggs in the morning - from my three chickens. And occasionally there was fresh chicken and duck - which i refused to eat.

Anyhoo - I just thought id highlight whats there - because the garden has been suffering lately. Mostly because of the water restrictions. Some are drying out - but some plants are loving the dry conditions - and have completely over taken the garden. I have the vines of winter melon from the backyard causing melons to pop up on my front yard. =S

I also - have to plan - i need to make an impression in the holidays. I'm thinking japanese french fusion. Unagi Vol Au Vent's anyone?

HAROLD DEF JISM 3-6 6-0 6-1 5-7 6-4 (183)

Lets do this in chronological order.

so im tired rite. its 10pm. i was thinkin of going to sleep, but my sister just made me pay for dinner (even though id already had dinner) so i decided to eat whats mine.

So we cooked the garlic bread, baby chat potatoes and spinach Agnolotti with a cream of bacon and mushroom sauce.

Then i was tired - but i had bio, but all my notes were left in the car... which my parents took.. who weren't home.... SO i stayed up till the wee early morning hours to wait. and wait..

4 hours later i wake up. I have some left over garlic bread for breakfast, i take my red eye and get a lift. Its bio - That damn "describe" question. damm all the questions. It was way too hard. I knew something was wrong as i was doing the research - "it can't be that easy can it." i was right. Everyone walking out saying "yayyy that was easy" but oh no... it was a freaking "describe" question.

For those of you who din't stay up last night looking up the implications of getting a "describe" question, it means that they want you to do everything. But they won't tell you what they're checking. In fact it means write down everything you know, and just pray that you've got something they want- Its like being robbed by the KKK.

Gloria lost two of my balls.. which havn't been used yet... Then we went taking photos. At the cricketnets. At our place. In the toilets. And of various people/couples. Then people made bets on harold and my game to take place in the afternoon. I lost. I had no shoes. In the second set i was forced to take my shoes off and play barefooted because the shoes gave me blisters... even though i had socks.. Without socks.. in next to no time, my feet hurt. then thats when i started losing like hell stupid shoes. stupid pain. If only i had shoes - then i wouldn't scream every time my feet hit the ground.

ANYWAY. i'll speed up. since its too long already. i drank about 3L of water today, i got offered drugs twice.. and i still got lots of energy, but my feet hurt.

FUNNY THING IS. today in the game, i didn't break a single bead of sweat.

USUALLY. i sit in pools of my sweat even an hour after a game.

TODAY. i sweated none. even in winter i sweat.

I DON"T KNOW. if it was because harry was crap. or i was so good that i dind't need to sweat. or some freak nature coincidence.

2006-03-13T22:45:00.000+11:00

Jen: Helen came today trying to sell her...(thinks)
Jim: herself?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

i felt like dying today - i was so tired, and im also on my 4th Litre of water today.

still got to do my chemistry thing... =(

i have all tuesday, but i was thinking of doing some work on the bike, i mite need new tires, but i'll just adjust the pressure then them first, make the front tyres softer, and the brake balance at the rear, that way - i can turn better ^^

i've just realised maybe i don't need to adjust the ratios, i do have 15 speeds, 5 gears hmmm...

huffy

2006-03-12T22:02:00.000+11:00

DAMM i havn't riden a bike in years. its so dam tiring - i rode for an hour and i can't remember when i've been that worked.

I'm planning for a 30min session in the morning, so i go and get maccas ^^

then if i come home i can ride and get some lunch - but id hafta skip lunch at school, then i'd be too full to eat after school.

Well i spent a good 3 hours on the bike today,
1hr putting it together
1hr making sure it was all working
and anohter 1hr tuning it - but i just managed to do the wheels and axels today, i've got to leave gear ratios when i've got 6 hours spare.

i've also got to get; headlights, pegs, helmet, new tyres, maybe a new seat cause my ass hurts

and new tennis balls. and tennis grips.

i've lost about 16 balls this month

thats nearly $40 worth of balls =\

caffine

2006-03-09T22:45:00.000+11:00

this 2 times a week tennis thing is getting pretty cool - and im considering a 2hour bike ride after school whenever i dont have tennis - and when birrong pool FINALLY opens, im thinking of morning swims.

Im really serious about this bookburning thing. Who's in?

and doing maths aint so bad at night either.

It all takes the stress away =) And its comforting to know that even if i come out with a moronic UAI - at least i won't be a sheltered prude ^^

In other events - i've had: two bottles of RED-EYE, each containing 102?mg of caffine, two bottles of WILD NRG, each containing 120mg, and a double shot of coffee, each shot containing 102mg of caffine - a total of 630mg of caffine. 3.5 times over the daily maximum intake.

i've probably had more - but the caffine might explain why theres a layer of my own hair on my table...

breadtop.

2006-03-08T17:39:00.000+11:00

i love breadtop.

and red-eye drinks.

i couldn't sleep last nite, cause a mosquito kept on biting me.

I got out of bed this morning, and i saw a fat slow mosquito (probably too full from blood) - and so i squished it.

Needless to say, after sucking my blood all last nite for a continous 6 hours - being squished made my hands wet - with my own blood.

if i do bad in physics , blame the mosquito - i had to drink a coffee - comprised of 8 spoons instant coffee. (as i hadn't had much sleep prior to that night, because of an unrelated sleeping problem)

My hair gets whiter, but its ok. its falling out too much for anyone to notice.

wait! if i have more hair turn white.. and all my black hair falls out, in no time - it'll be all white ^^

bookburning

2006-03-07T23:37:00.000+11:00

oh fuck i feel great.

i sorted though my notes. i have a tonne of notes. i inherited alot of notes from my sister. about... well id say nearly 30kg of notes.

thats yr11 and y12. rite now? i have just as much as her.

w00t! turns out i didn't need them sis. thanks. im self sufficient.

at the end of the year. im going to sit in front of a bonfire, and check every peice of paper and remminise. "book burning" i call it. people around a fire, and we talk about how we stayed up all nite writing an essay, that we're about to burn in - under 3 seconds.

whos in?

RSL

2006-03-05T02:25:00.000+11:00

a mother of five killer her husband after hiding the the bushes in camo gear, armed with a rifle - equippted with a scope - the intent to hunt.

after years of physical, mental and sexual abuse - she camped out in a snipers nest for over and hour, and in indirect self defence - she shot him dead, six times.

I knew i shouldn't have gone, but i went to auburn RSL even though i was sick. i think i got sicker. great.

I wonder if one day - i will finally crack people, and they'll camp out, carefully checking their sights, and carefully pursuing a one shot, painful and horrendous one shot slow death kill in the eye socket.

udon

2006-03-04T14:43:00.000+11:00

I wonder if i will have to get a reader writer for wednesday - my wrist aint looking any better.

Oh yea - i should actually do the research first.

im still sick =(

And i havn't really been able to eat much without feeling sick. - nausea.

Still deciding on what to have for lunch. I had beef terriyaki udon for breakfast - so i don't feel like noodles anymore. oh man.. i dun feel like eating rite now.. i dun feel too well..

SO BEAUTIFUL

2006-03-03T21:43:00.000+11:00

pete murray - so beautiful.

Found myself just the other day

In the backyard of a friends place,

Thinkin' about you,Thinkin' of the crowd you're in,

What you up too where you been?(Just thinkin')

a year on..

And all the clothes that you wear,

And the colors in your hair

Shouldn't change you

I had a dream about the last day.

God my fingers burn,

Now when I think of touching your hair

You have changed so much that I don't know,

If I can call you and tell you I care

And I would love to bring you down,

Plant your feet back on the ground

I said goodbye - and i hoped i would never see you again.

Throw my smoke down on the ground,

Turn my head and I heard the sound,(That reminded me)

Of the days so young and sweet

Always so much fun to meet(At least I thought so)

I hoped that you would be gone forever

Now the scene that you're in,

And the people that you been with

Just get to me,But you think I'm not as cool,

As you are so beautiful

Well who you fooling?

I'm fooling myself by thinking that

Well I'm here to tell you babe

The game your in is just a game

So damn pretentious

Simply because of the fact that:

You think you're so beautiful

you're beautiful
