Fireworks at work

Spent the day doin basically nothing. i went to Daniel's house early to get Ben a present. We then went to carousel and bought a card and the present. We then went back to daniels place and watched jackass 2. It was a really wrong movie. So much extreme stuff happened. Went to work and watched the fireworks which were launched practically next door to the workplace. It was great because we had front row seats. Actually we were leaning against our cars in the parking lot. After work i met up with Daniel again and we went to a car show place where they were preparing the fancy cars for show. There were a lot of fancy shiny sports cars there. We then went to the city and had singapore style crab again. i'm back at daniels place now. Extremely tired. Must go home soon. Its been a long day

Time Crisis 4!

Ok, going to the city at closing time on a Sunday was not a good idea, especially when i had a craving for sushi. Haven't had that in ages. Daniel and i walked to all the japanese sushi places to discover that they were not open on weekends or just were closing down. My stupidity. We dropped by Orbit (as it was closing down) and played Time Crisis 4. i used to think Time Crisis 2 was awesome....and then there was Time Crisis 3 with the cool new weapons. But Time Crisis 4 kicks heaps of butt. There were different situations, different places we could fire from that are actually moving, instead of being standing behind cover all the time. Well i died first as usual. My gaming skills suck really bad compared to my friends. We ate at Spencer and then visited Ben. Ben has a super computer which i am almost jealous of. Its prepared for Vista AND quad core chips that aren't even out yet. Went back to Daniel's and watched 40 year old virgin. That was pretty funny. i think i did do an ok job of making the most out of a weekend. i think the trick is visiting friends and eating food. This week has been pretty boring. Just a lot of working and sleeping. i wake up really late but i think its because i sleep really late. Hmm. At least its gone by pretty fast and i can look forward to the next weekend which would be doing a whole lot of nothing.

Too soon

This weekend went by too soon. The party at Jamies was really great. i got wasted for the first time in months. i think i fell asleep a few times too. i don't think i did anything stupid. But Jamie does have some very CRAZY friends. VERY crazy. But everyone was still cool. Still it was a very funny night and i'm also kinda surprised by how strong woodstocks are. Or maybe i just have a really bad tolerance to alcohol. i had to crash at his house overnight. i'm just chilling at Daniels now and just bumming around. Might go to city in a little while.

i hate widgets

i just literally spent most of the day from 12:pm till now creating a 'beta' blogger version of the current template which i used to have. i tried to make it look as similar as i could get it to the old template. There was so much trial and error and alot of going hmm. i basically had to create a new blog and use it as a test to see if what i wanted to do was possible. Turns out it was. What i like about the 'beta' version is that it allows labels, and allows cool navigation and also has a cool way of presenting archives. i better go to sleep now. Going to drift event tomorrow. Actually its today coz its past 12 am.

Ways of hurt

i went ice skating with my cousin again on Saturday. i tried to race
one of my cousin's friends and had a great time weaving very closely
between slow and fast ice skaters. i then slipped while trying a
tight turn, rolled in the air a couple of times and hit the ice hard
before skidding a few metres. Ouchie. But it was nothing compared 10
mins later when i tripped on the ice, and had a split second choice of
continuing forward, and risk landing on my face and causing a pile up
from skaters behind me, OR banking hard to the right and into the
barrier at high speed and risk hitting a man teaching his woman how to
skate. (Ice skating newbies usually hold on to the barrier for
support.) i chose to go into the barrier, but coz of the speed i found
out (too late) that i wasn't gonna make in into the barrier without
hitting the couple first. i didn't want a full body contact blow so i
sorta fell hard on my right knee and slid on the ice and crashed
headfirst into a pair of female legs. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING. i said
so many sorrys. Luckily the woman didn't fall. The guy said to me,
"that's a good way to stop". And i was wondering IS HE ABOUT TO KICK
MY ASS?? i can fight on solid ground, but on ICE wearing ice skates??
He seemed non hostile though and i made my way to the bench to examine
my poor knee. Luckily the bruise was on the opposite side of my knee
away from the side where i had my arthroscopy. When i got home i
found a nasty gash on my left leg. It must of been where the ice
skate boot's edge rubbed against the skin. =( Pain. i spent Sunday
relaxing and resting my poor battered body. My arms seem sore for
some reason. Probably when i tried to break my falls on the ice.

i was hoping to see the girl i like at work today but unfortunately i
didn't see her at all. i bumped my knee accidently against a shelf.
IT HURT A LOT. Now i can't bend it all the way and i can't squat
anymore. =( i think i have a cold as well. My throat was really sore
and dry this morning and just now while i was under the shower my
hands felt COLD even though the water was HOT. i know i probably
should skip work tomorrow, but if i don't work then i don't get to see
her. Thats already been hurting me for the past couple of weeks. i
don't know which hurts more though. Health should come first, but
health means nothing when compared to feeling like crap.

Ice Skating!

i went ice skating with my cuz and her friends yesterday. It was really scary at first because the last time i went ice skating was about 10 years ago. But after 10 minutes of awkward slipping i quickly learnt how to 'skate'. i couldn't figure out how to brake and i can't turn at sharp angles but at least i can go fast and around the ice rink. We played a few games of tag which was fun. i accidently crashed into my cousin at high speed when a kid came out of nowhere and i tried to avoid it. =S We then had lunch at carousel and watched a bit of the Garfield on stage thing. There was a massive dressup of garfield and odie dancing on the stage. =D Garfield is so cool. i need to save up more $$$. i bought Jamie's old computer for 400 bucks and have been playing around with that. i know i have a lot to do but i can't remember.

Shot in the head

Had a big day today. Went paintballing with Daniel and his friends in Malaga. That was really fun. i got put into a crappy team i think. In the second round i ran forwards to position myself behind a cover and then started taking pot shots at any bobbing heads peeping out of the opposing side's covers, when an orange SPLAT exploded within 20 cm of my head ON MY OWN SIDE OF THE COVER. i had a strong feeling that i had a very nooby team. Sure enough about 30 seconds later a sharp force hit me on the back of my head followed by a very sharp and also dull pain. i would have thought that the first splat next to my head would have reminded the BLIND and/or MORONIC idiot to AIM FIRST and then fire. Hopefully he doesn't join the army. They seem to have enough problems of their own already and definitely would not want another 'incident'. Some other guy in my team didn't realise that he was firing blanks from his gun which obviously had a paintball jam. i tried to shout it to him, but i don't think he noticed. Overall my side only won 3 out of 8 games. Daniel recieved a few bruises and some kid broke his ankle badly in the capture the flag round. It was very exciting for me when my shots hit the person that is also shooting at me, especially when that dude that charged and panicked when he saw me standing behind a cover with my gun pointing at him which caused him to run around me (not very gracefully) and started shooting wildly, (more importantly inaccurately), which kept me alive and allowed me to 'plant' an orange mark in his face mask at a distance of three meters to end the battle. It was also a bit nerve racking when i realised that my team was really crap and we were probably gonna get hurt with paintballs exiting their barrels at 400kms/hr. Also went to karaoke later in the night. Daniel got drunk and i got him to sing country songs and other funny songs that would seem funny when sung by intoxicated individuals whose normal sober singing may have normally been within a reasonable coherent level, if not for their reaction times which were slowed to the point where words were out of sync with the words on the screen and were 'sung' with such a slurred rambling loud noise-like and sometimes shouting tone that it would have gave a large array of ammunition of self-esteem-destroying verbal insults for the judges of Australian Idol. Anyways it was all in good fun and i managed to get some fresh air away from slaving at work and at home where i have to look after my siblings whose parents decided to go on a one month overseas vacation and happened to be the only "real" cooks in a low-level dysfunctional family that could cook proper asian style dishes that go well with a nice hot steamy plate of rice. Still me and my sis's cooking skills have improved somewhat in the past week although i really do hate my sis's steamed peas, carrots and corn which are completely tasteless but however, we should still be able to keep ourselves away from malnourishment till the time our parents come back. My head still hurts.

Cousin's 21st

My cousin had her 21st birthday party/family/friends gathering last
night. There was lots of good food. i met a few familiar faces,
everybody was busy talking. My cousin seemed happy so that was good.
i would of thought she would be very stressed trying to keep, friends,
family, uni friends occupied. But she seemed happy and that was the
important thing. This morning my very good swedish friend texted and
called me. i was happy that we talked about stuff. My little brother
had his birthday today. i'm thinking about giving him my old phone.
He wanted a USB flash drive, so i'll definetly get him that. i
watched Eagles beat Demons in football today. They almost lost but
luckily they managed to get their skill back and win. i have to
organise to fix the ford laser tomorrow. Bummer, might be a busy day.
This weekend seemed shorter than usual.

Kmart river cruise

i went to a river cruise at fremantle yesterday. It was organised by
kmart and i only found out that i was going on friday. It took a while
for me to get there. i thought that i would be really late because i
couldn't find the entry for the wharf. When i did make it into the
wharf i found out that it was the wrong one and had to ask for
directions. i asked some guy packing his bicycle onto his car and was
told that the rottnest ferry wharf number 18 was about a few kms away.
Anyways i got there in time to see my kmart friend Leon with 3 very
intoxicated girls. Later i found out that one of them was my sister's
friend's littlest sister and the other was the sister of my highschool
friend. Such a small world. i had a good time. Lots of dancing,
music and looking at the water, and the city lights. Later i took
Leon and the girls to maccas where we chilled for a while before
taking them home. Today i watched The Bourne Identity and Bourne
Supremecy. The movies were quite good. The hero dude was really cool
coz he could get to anyone and could anticipate how things would turn
out. He also has some kick ass moves and takes down people with his
bare hands in a couple of seconds. Now i have to study for my
interview tomorrow. i may have to cancel a centrelink appointment
because of it. Grrr things aren't slotting into the correct
timetable.

Hilltop Hoods LIVE!

Had a MASSIVE day yesterday. Went to Ben's house to check out his new
computer fan and also grab some anime. Spent quite a while watching
games and vids and stuff and his dad told me to eat KFC for dinner. i
had a few pieces and had a zinger burger and felt kinda cheap LOL.
When i went home i watched a bit of TV and then found out from my bro
that Daniel was trying to contact me. And then i remembered that we
were supposed to go clubbing for some girl's 21st. So in about 30
mins i got ready and was on the way to metros. We had free tickets to
the special function room upstaris coz 'we' or rather Daniel and his
bro knew the girl. We were told that normal metros entry cost rose
from 10 to 45 and then 70 later one in the night. It was coz Hilltop
Hoods were performing live there. The queuing line grew to a
phenomenal size but we went in through the front coz we had VIP ENTRY.
MUAHAHHA. Had a couple of drinks, sushi and unfortunately had a pretty
close view of a male stripper. We knew that a stripper was coming and
we thought we were safe on the upstairs balcony where it was kinda in
the public because people from the street can see in a bit. Thats also
what the birthday girl thought apparently as she tried to escape from
him and rushed to balcony (where unfortunately for her and for us
guys) was a dead end. It was all in good fun, even though the birthday
girl wouldn't cooperate as much as her friends woulda liked.
Afterwards we went downstairs to the main club where Hilltop Hoods was
performing. They were awesome. When we left, Daniel and his bro
decided to go to Chinatown to try out some mudcrab at Billy Lees. So
we all had mudcrab and fried squid and springrolls. The price was
kinda crazy though, but Daniel's bro decided to pay it all. I kinda
felt cheap again, coz it was the second time that i was getting food
from my friends. Anyways i went home around 2 or 3 in the morning and
crashed till 11 in the morning today.

i made it to 21

My birthday bbq went ok. Or ok as i had intented. i expected the weather to be really bad which it turned out to be. i tried to get the venue changed to my house, but i couldn't contact enough people so i had it at heathcote. The weather seemed perfect. Too bad i felt sick like i had to go to the toilet. It was kinda worse that there was a window next to the toilet that had a gap open which would not close. Anyone who was in the carpark could see me chucking one of the worse craps in my life. Well afterwards the rain came. Everybody ran like crazy to the cars. i then had it moved to my house to finish off the food. i was kinda shocked that my parents bought a massive cake. i specifically said, "NO CAKE". Oh well. For the past few days i've been having cake for breakfast. Kinda yummy but not very healthy. Maybe i'll die of a heart attack now i'm 21. i never expected to make it but it looks like i have to live with it now. i still got stuff to do.

Abundance of weener

i've been trying to organise a bbq for my birthday this Sunday. Weather forecast says showers so i'm hoping for divine intervention. Major bummer to have rain when its summer. i blame global warming. Stoopid countries who produce lots of greenhouse gases and even worse the countries that support the countries who makes lots of greenhouse gases. Yeah, you know who i'm talking about. Only 2 countries didn't sign the damn Kyoto protocol. i'm in one of them. Now climate change seems to be making it rain on my 21st birthday. Also most of my friends are male and most of my cousins are male, so its gonna be like a big MALE BBQ with an abundance of weener. Uber bummer. The bbq is gonna look really gay. Literally.

Triple Crown

i went to Triple Crown on Friday. It was alright but wasn't really special. Before Triple Crown, i went to Jonny's place where we hanged out for a while. Jonny somehow drank a dozen bottles of beer. We then went to another friend's house down the road where we chilled and watched Britney Spears on DVD. i can't believe that Jonny secretly left for Triple Crown. i guess i can forgive him coz he was really drunk. i was probably the only sober one around at Jonny's friends house. Later i offered to take Kerren and a couple of drunk people to Triple Crown so they wouldn't have to pay for a Taxi. At Triple Crown the place was packed. i met some uni friends talked with them and later i drank a little. i wish i had more tolerance coz i lose myself too easily...Kerren, drunk as ever, pulled me with him onto a small, raised stage packed with people. i was a little out of it and dancing a while when suddenly Kerren fell off the stage. Luckily he was all right. We decided to go to Metros in Freo. i wanted to go coz i never been before. i didn't know where it was so i kinda forced Kerren into my car so he could direct me. It was pretty hard to stop him jumping into bushes and fighting with his friends. i also took a couple of other people with me to Metros. We ate a little at Hungry Jacks across the road from it. Anyways i think Metros was pretty crap that night. The music was really bad. i left the place around 2 and drove home. On Saturday i played Resident Evil 2 on the computer. i forced my lil bro to watch me play it coz i'm too scared to play it alone. Zombies seem to jump out of walls and windows and one way mirrors. i finished the game today. Thinking about goin to uni tomorrow to study...

Looking out the window

i was looking out the window on a rainy afternoon and noticed a couple of pigeons underneath a shrub taking shelter from the rain. i quickly took a few photos of them together. They look pyscho cute together. It reminded me of what i don't have and what i might never have. i'm really happy for the pigeons but very sad for myself. i wish i can fly away from my life. Ben's birthday party yesterday was alrite. Lots of good food is always good. Lots of his relatives were there. i played pool with Daniel, Adrian and Ben until late in the night. Almost fell asleep at his place. i've had a very rough week. i wanted to sleep and rest today but didn't get a chance. i've been doing too many things for other people and not enough time for myself. i'm losing the chances to take my stress out of my mind.

Clubbing with Cuz

i spent the night clubbing with my cousin last night. i thought she didn't want to go coz it was raining like crazy and she didn't send me an sms. i was enjoying myself watching tv and watching Terminator when she sent me an sms saying, "Hey, r u coming 2nite?", i was like OMG...crazy. i left the house around 9:30 and went to pick up her 3 friends and then drove to the city. We dropped off her 3 friends at Northbridge, and then went to pick up her other friend who lives in woop woop land in Highgate. That was kinda stressful coz we spent a lot of time finding her because we were at the wrong end of the street. We then parked at the carpark and went to Utopia where there was a kareoke party. i saw my other cousin's cousin there, Jess. Talked a little and decided to go to Metros. Had to drive the friend back to Highgate though...My cousin is so nice and caring to her friends. We then went back to Northbridge and danced until our feet hurt. Also, i can't dance. =P i saw Fidea there as well... i see him all the time there and he's always so busy talking to so many different people. Dropped off my cousin and her friends and arrived home at 4am. Hope my cousin is ok coz she seems to be under some stress. Today i woke up at 11am, had breakfast, showered and slept till 7pm. Not surprisingly, i'm not that tired anymore.

WiNC3N's 21st

WiNC3N decided to have his 21st at his house where we all had steamboat. It was pretty good food. There were 2 chocolate cakes which were yummy. We listened to Kong and Ben play guitar and we also watched movies, but the movies got boring. Somewhere in between the movies we decided to drink and i think i drank a bit too much...and can't really remember what happened...but i remember it was really cold. i think i had 4 shots of jim bean and 3 shots of tequlia shots with salt and lemon. i wanted to walk home but i think Daniel dropped me home. i must not be tempted to drink in the future...otherwise i might have a headache like the one i'm having now.

Newport Hotel

Newport Hotel is the pub where Nieves had her 21st birthday today. It was kinda fun and interesting... i didn't really know many people but had still had a fun time coz of good friends. Some funny stuff happened. Also some scary stuff. Played pool against a couple of people and i lost badly. Birthday cake was nice and music was good. Jamie and Christy got kinda drunk and were being crazy when i drove them home. After i dropped them off i got into a little car accident.. On south street the car in front of me braked suddenly at a green light. i quickly checked and changed lanes coz i didn't want to hurt the tyres, but i also had to brake hard coz there was a snow cone in the middle of my lane. There was also another snow cone in the middle of the road in front of the car beside me...that probably explains the sudden braking. Anyways, after the car drove around the snow cone, i was gonna do the same, but at that moment i saw a flash of light in the rear view mirror, a long screeching noise and i focused at the rear view mirror and saw a car coming too fast behind me. It happened so fast. i thought crap and blinked my eyes and thought of the girl i had a crush on and there was slight tap from the rear of the car. We drove around and i signalled to a parking lot where we looked for damages but thankfully there were none, not even a dent in either car. i hate the stupid people who put the cones there. The hooligans may think its funny, but people could get hurt bad...i'm just thankful it was a car that tapped me and not a truck, coz i don't think a truck would of stopped just in time.

Going out a lot

i've been pretty busy these couple of days. Had the reunion yesterday, and today went to party with uni friends. i played some Daytona USA 2 and that was fun. i was over at a uni friend's house and there were these cute little puppies. Today we hanged around at a jacuzzi party for quite a while. Many people in swimwear and there was dj with dance music and bbq with hot dogs. Afterwards we went to Northbridge where we played some pool and walked around and later had coffee and chilled out at a coffee place. Tomorrow is a uni friends 21st at a pub somewhere in freo. Hopefully i won't get lost along the way. So tired now....

High School Reunion

We had a Lynwood Senior High reunion dinner just for us boys. Also for Daniel's birthday as well. We had chinese stuff in a chinese restaurant which was pretty ok... Daniel got his present, which was a massive optical illusion poster (pictured). It looks like cogs turning and it would make anyone go crazy if they stare at it for too long. After the dinner we played snooker at LA Cue. i officially suck at snooker. Even if i have a clean direct shot and the white ball, red ball and hole is in one line, my white ball will constantly jump over the red ball and land in the hole. The rules for snooker were pretty interesting though. i wish i was a better player.
