Poem for $20 =O

Gahh...so many exams and assignments and no time to bludge. =[

Today in Radiographic Physics, R.B asked us to write another poem, and this time he gave us an incentive. One of the poems would be randomly selected from the box and the student who wrote it would get $20! How cool is that? xD Obviously I didn't win, but it was pretty cool anyway.

I heard the wierdest thing on the radio yesterday...apparently there's some woman (whose last name means 'Berlin Wall') who has a condition which makes her attracted to inanimate objects. She got married to the Berlin Wall 29 years ago and reckons they've had quite the relationship O___O"

Though apparently now she's become attracted to some random fence... =S

Hmm...I better get back to study now.

A Very Long Day

What was supposed to be just a 'meet-up' turned out to be quite an eventful long day. We organised to meet up in Burwood at 11 but, since public transport sucks, I ended up getting there closer to 11:45...ehhehe ^^" Not my fault since I was waiting at the bus stop since 10:10 and TWO BUS SERVICES DID NOT COME. Then there was trackwork, so services to Burwood were few and far between -but enough about transport woes and on with the more important details.

Not much actually happened to begin with. Baldy, Louie, KTF and I (Bumbo had work and Dango dogged me) ate lunch in the Westfield Foodcourt then we went to watch Indiana Jones (Louie had to go home for his driving lesson) which wasn't too bad. =) The whole 'crystal skull' thing was a little over the top and a bit too far-fetched for my liking (if they wanted to go Sci-Fi I prefer the Stargate version of the crystal skull and the 'giant aliens'), and there were certain scenes reminiscent of The Mummy. They had visual references to the previous Indy movies which I thought was cool, like the whole quicksand-and-snake thing, showing Indy lecturing students, and the statue of Marcus Brody.

Yeah. Good movie. =)

We parted ways after the movie and I caught the Rail Bus to Ashfield to visit Bumbo. Was just about to say hi to her when Louie messaged telling me to wait cos he was coming too. I thought he wanted me to wait so we could go see Bumbo together, but it turns out he thought KTF was there and so didn't want us to leave cos he wanted to see Bumbo's reaction. Oh well.

Louie finally came and we dropped in to see Bumbo who was quitesurprised/confused to see us ahahaha...and Louie was cut cos she kept addressing me mostly lol. We bummed around and waited for her until she finished and were invited to her house to bum some more lol. We didn't stay for long because Louie had dinner waiting at home and Bumbo's family were going out to eat. I was invited to join them and oddly enough Katie's family also went to eat at the same place we were eating. TP and I started speaking like fobs, saying stuff like "You know, me? I know, you." "This one, you know?" ahahaa we must've sounded so retarded...

Bumbo's family is cool. =) [ahaha I just realised NONE of them got Louie's Michael Jackson joke...they all needed to have it explained XD]

I got dropped off at Stratty and I made the mistake of waiting an extra minute for the express train instead of getting onto the all-stops. The express was UBER SLOW (and I froze my butt off because the train carriage was cold) and because of that I missed my bus. I was like, going up the escalator to the bus stop, only to see my bus leave. T_______T Nooo....*spirals into oblivion*

Stoopid buses come hourly after a certain time -plus it was a weekend.

Then, cos Louie said he was going to Max Brenner with relos, I asked if I could join, but they weren't there yet. Louie asked me to try get a table for them so I headed over to the bustling, cramped shop. Geh, waited ages in a line that didn't seem to move while constantly checking if there were any spare tables. I wondered what I should do if I happened to see a spare table -should I leave the line and go hog the table? or should I continue to wait in line? In the end I reasoned that I'd have to stay in line because it'd just be plain dodgy if I hogged a table without ordering anything -not to mention that I'd be sitting by myself. -_____-"

As I neared the counter I realised that I needed to think of something to order. If I bought a drink they might not give me a table number since they could make it on the spot, so I scanned the menu for something more affordable. I couldn't see anything cheap so when it was my turn to order, I pointed to a plate of waffles, strawberries and a chocolate lick that was on the counter waiting to be served, and said "Can I have one of those?" Whew. [Gahhh it cost me $15.05 including 10% surcharge since it was a weekend! ><"]

Then I had a most pleasant experience standing around nigel holding a table number and hovering around the tables waiting for someone to vacate a spot. =S [Once I looked outside to see if there were any outside spots available, and saw an asian woman by herself looking in my direction, waving and smiling. I didn't recognise her so I turned around to see if she was waving to someone behind me but didn't see anyone so I turned back to the woman who was STILL smiling and waving, double-checked to see if she was waving to someone behind me, turned back around and slowly pointed to myself with a confused look -to which she shook her head and I turned around again and FINALLY saw her friend waving back at her and making her way outside to the table. OMG how embarrassing].

Eventually a nice couple offered me their table which I accepted gratefuly. A minute later the couple next to me vacated their seat also so I quickly joined the two tables and sat there looking like a nigel hogging much sought-after tables and seat [luckily I was sitting facing the window and not the line of people waiting to order and find a table O.o"]. Inevitably I was asked by two different people if I needed BOTH tables, and yes, I replied, I did because there were more people coming soon sorry. Felt like such a hog... >___<"

Luckily I didn't have to wait long as Louie and relos came soon after, but after a few minutes half of them decided to leave because they were fed up with waiting (they waited at a different Max Brenner earlier and weren't served, then drove all the way to Parra only to find it similarly crowded). Anyway, food finally came and it was super sweet @_@ and I saw (or rather she saw me) Celine! Very unexpected ehehe... ^^

Louie got owned by his younger cousin who fully snubbed him when he was trying to bag him out and I talked a bit to one of his uncles who has also lived in Canberra. =D Louie made me ask one of the waiteresses if Bethany was working, but apparently she'd already gone home. =( Oh and we were asked TWICE by different waitresses if we had finished eating when it was quite obvious we still had food on our plate. Talk about good business O.o"

Finally finished the waffles and Louie walked me to bus stop and I thought it was really cold -couldn't even keep my finger steady when pointing to the timetable bleh. He kept laughing at me but was kind enough to lend me his jacket. Bus came on time for once and then I was on my way home
[it was kinda strange when I got off the bus because none of the streetlights were on O.o" ].

So yeaaah. Quite the eventful day. ^_________^ v

Shutter -___-"

Yesterday after submitting portfolio; eating with Dory, Jack and Carl at Ichiban Boshi; fixing Carl's phone; and shopping at Cotton On, we saw Shutter and IT WAS CRAAAAP.

Carl was hiding behind her jacket and was pretty scared and Louie had his hoodie up and full covered his face with his hands ahaha...pretty funny. It was soo not scary, and yes while I do look like I'm scared, it's just a natural instinct to cover most of my face, so that in the event that I AM scared I can quickly hide.

Most scary bit? Hmm..not so much scary as it was freaky, but it'd either have to be the part when he was in the darkroom and Megumi was humming and caressing his neck (except he thought it was his wife), or the part when he was in the darkroom developing the photo and Megumi appeared in the picture and the chemicals splashed onto his face. O.o"

Afterwards Baldy opted to go Capitol to try his luck at the skill tester machines (and omg he ended up winning so many O.o") while we met up with Mandy and her boyfriend (can't remember his name...oops...was it Kevin??) and re-visited Cotton On then bummed in Market City Galaxy World.

I BEAT LEWIS IN BASKETBALL! muhaha...XD

We split up afterwards and Jo and TP joined us for dinner at B,B,Q City (yes, it does have commas). We had to wait ages for a table but eventually got to order Korean Rice Cake Hot Pot and err...some beef soup thingy...

It was yummm ^____^v

There were two tv screens playing Korean mvs, one on the wall behind Jo and Baldy, and another on the wall diagonally to the right. At one point I was discussing the Korean mv playing on the screen with Baldy and Jo (who could see the one diagonally behind me), and after Jo said something Louie exclaimed incredulously, "How do YOU know?!" AHAHAAHA he sounded so amazed me and Jo cracked up so much... XD

Had to leave around 9:30ish to meet my brother at Railway Square then bused it back to where he parked his car at work and drove home.

FREE YOGHURT!

For the second day in a row I got free Dairy Farmer's yoghurt from Parra on the way home! =)

Good stuff -even more so since it was free. Heh. XD

What Happens in Vegas

After Oral Viva yesterday (geh, just my luck to have gotten that lady as my examiner...), and finishing up the Physics assignment with Jo, we headed out to Burwood. Fi drove and the first thing we did was grab some food from the food court to smuggle into the cinemas =) [Parking was interesting too, but I shall make no comment seeing as I don't even have my P's yet.. T___T ]

We watched 'What Happens in Vegas' because we'd missed the sessions for 21 and Shutter. It was actually better than I had initially expected and the good thing was that the cinema was completely empty (except for one guy who came in a little later) so we laughed and talked as loudly as we liked~ xD [though the poor guy must've suffered through the whole movie listening to us laughing... ^^"]

One of my favourite parts was when Cameron Diaz was demonstrating how to put the toilet seat down. Dressed in her nice work clothes she held the toilet seat up with a pair of tongs and lifted it up and down saying "Look, it goes up....and it goes down" aahaha so hilarious man~ along with other bits too. XD

Jo couldn't stay for the whole movie due to work commitments and afterwards Fi went home and Michael had to go to work too. I wasn't nigel though cos Carl had come to find me. =) We walked around Westfield for a bit before Louie joined us and we headed to Bello's. They decided to shout me cos I was feeling emo after the Oral Viva~ aww they're such good buddies ehehe ^_______^

As usual we chatted about a lot of random things and laughed a lot (especially Carl, but that's normal haha) so by the time I got on the bus to Parra I was feeling quite cheered up and not so emo anymore. =)

So, in summary:
  • Stoopid examiner
  • Stoopid assignment
  • Hilarious movie
  • Great friends
Oh, and I am so not catching the bus from Burwood anymore.
Bleh. -____-"

De-stressing 2nd May

Started off the day with a cervical cancer shot before heading off to TownHall with Kyoya. Louie came from JB to join us in waiting for Jo (who was half an hour late =P). Upon Jo's arrival we set off for Norita and played a few rounds of Tumbling Monkeys until around 3ish. I barely got any monkeys muhaha...^^v Tumbling Monkeys lost its initial challenge after the first two games and afterwards we were pretty much playing simply for the sake of playing. When we got really bored of it we started pegging the monkeys at each other when the staff weren't looking hehehe...

Afterwards we headed to Capitol but Jo had to leave =( I shouted Carl and Louie purikura [because I lost that stoopid bet -___-" geh...] and then we went to Greenbox Plus.

Al finally shouted me K, yay~!! XD keke...

Kathy came around the end of K and we went to eat Korean BBQ at City Potcha. It was kinda expensive and the service wasn't really that great but the food was good and I don't know about everyone else but I enjoyed it. It was my first Korean BBQ experience! =)

When we'd eaten our fill we wandered over to Passionflower and carefully analysed each item on the menu, trying to get our money's worth and being the cheap, tight-ass asian uni students that we were:

Louie: OMG! The pancakes here are so cheap! 2 stacks for $7!
Me: No...look they have 4 stacks for $10!
Louie: Oh how about this one? 3 stacks with one scoop of ice-cream for $12
Us: Oooh.... *scanning the rest of the menu for even cheaper items*
Louie: Or how about the...
Me & Louie: *both point to the picture on our respective menus* CHOCOLATE!
Kathy: Jinx! *looks at the Chocolate description* It's only got one scoop of ice-cream...
Louie: Ok then how about this one? *points*
(pause)
Kathy and Carl: Tha'ts not ice-cream! THAT'S CREAM!! *pointing accusingly at the blob of cream in the picture next to the single scoop of ice-cream*
Louie: *looks at it closely* Oh.

Ahh...I'll never forget that. It was such a classic tight-ass asian moment ahahaha....XD

Anyway Carl's uni friends came to join us and waited for us to finish eating because they wanted to go to Maloney's and see Carl get drunk ahahhaa. While they chatted about plans for their friend's birthday, Kathy, Louie, Kyoya and I continued eating and started our own conversation.

I still reckon that the guy at Passionflower had Sasuke-like hair. =P

At Maloney's, Carl got an expensive but interesting-looking purple drink which had 4 or 5 different things in it. Louie broke his self-imposed "no drinking" record. =O Kathy and Kyoya declined to drink and I was prov so Al shouted me a B52. It burnt my throat and I started coughing so I had to put it down when I'd only drunk half the shot...ehehehe....but yeaaah when I recovered I finished the rest of the shot and hoped not too many people had seen my noob-ness. ^^" Louie accused me of ruining it though because I'd failed to knock it back all in one go.

Afterwards I had to leave and meet up with my brother who was still in the city and getting ready to leave so Kathy, Kyoya and Louie decided to leave as well. While I waited for my bro, Louie bought Kathy her lollipops and some random lady came up to us and asked us if we were Chinese or Korean. O.o"

My brother finally came and I waved back at the others as we ran for the bus.

Quite an enjoyable day. =)

Deception!

Thursday May 1st
Watched Deception with Jo after uni and it was pretty good (except for certain explicit scenes...O.o"). The plot was quite interesting and it kinda remined me of something else I've seen, but I still can't think of what it is. =S

They could have done so much more with the storyline instead of showing all those scenes -__-"

I was kinda disappointed when they didn't follow up the thing with the kevlar and the tennis racquet. The bit with the old asian lady in the hotel was funny: She was slowly handpicking cubes of ice from the ice bin in the hallway as if she were picking individual pieces of fruit at a market. Then, when asked by the main character if she needed help, she stopped, turned around, glared at him and said slowly in English I can manage thankyou, before turning back around to finish her selection of ice cubes.

Soo random. XD

Taronga Zoo!

Friday 25th
When I got to Circular Quay I bumped into ShiShan who was also early and we didn't have to wander around too long before we spotted Sheung and Andy. Fi and David came late and the weather looked pretty gloomy, but we decided to head off to the zoo anyway.
It was a pretty fun day and we saw practically all the animals and even watched a seal training show- though I was satisfied after I saw the penguins. =)
One of the seals was really cute, on the trainer's cue: These animals need to watch out for their natural predators... the seal started swimming in circles, leaving only one flipper above the water. XD
At one point Fi was attempting to take a photo of an emu, but it started defecating so I said Fi, you scared it! She didn't get it until afterwards *sigh* ahahaha...
After we left the zoo ShiShan went home and we met up with Jo for dinner at a Burmese place in Stratty (I also got to satify my fortnight-long craving for Korean rice cakes XD).

Prom Night

Watched Prom Night with Jo, Baldy and Michael on Thursday 24th after uni and it was VERY disappointing. Waste of time and money. =( The stalker guy was pretty freaky, but it wasn't really that scary and most parts were quite predictable. The funniest moments were probably:
  1. When it was all silent in the cinema and the girls sitting a couple of rows behind us suddenly squealed in fright, LOL
  2. Baldy constantly saying "stab, stab".

So yeah, pretty crap movie.

Lookie Lookie~
