Armidale.

Well today at around 1:57am I watched Novak/Nole ('No-lay' as pronounced by Miho) win the Australian Open against Rafa D: It was kind of devastating especially after that unforgettable fourth set. It was crazy. If you didn't watch it I'd recommend you watch it. Even though Dodovic did win I must congratulate him on a wonderful performance. Both players did spledidilly. *grumble* stupid rain delay.

Anyways...today after sleeping at around 2:30am I woke up at 5:30am to go to Armidale to go check on my accommodation and lecture halls etc. It was actually a 5.5 hrs drive (We went via the New England Highway) and getting there about 11, Dad and I had lunch at Hungry Jacks. Lol why Hungry Jacks?...no particular reason. =P (Dw there's also Macca's and KFC up there...although I think most folk prefer HJ up there.) Touring Armidale took more time than expected as it was pretty big and had a lot of department stores, woolies, coles etc...BUT IT'S GOT NUTHING FUN TO DO THERE. O.o I swear I saw an advertisement for paintball on the way but I couldn't find anything. Apparently there's a cinema and bowling alley somewhere but I failed to locate where it was >.>'' Oh yeh, one more thing...THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO BE SEEN. They're allllllllll round abouts. AND YEH. WE WERE THE ONLY ASIANS IN TOWN. I SWEAR TO ALLAH EVERYONE WAS GIVING US STRANGE LOOKS. It's literally spot the asian up there. D'=

MLIA.


When we got to the Uni we were relieved to find some asians walking around (especially even during vacational period - It's the two week break between Trimester 3 and 1 atm) soooo I'm hoping for a few more asians when school starts. There's no volleyball up there =='...maybe I'll be the one to start the club? o''o. I cleared up my timetabling issues and went to see the room I'd be living in for the next year. I'M ACTUALLY GETTING AN UPGRADE. =O The room there is bigger than the room I have at home. xD (Which either says a lot about my room or a lot about their rooms...pick one.) I'll have da interwebs so I can chat to you guys and continue blogging about my ever-uneventful life...even more so now that I'm moving to Armidale...D: I shouldn't keep dissing the place since it looks like a very comfortable and peaceful place to live...it's just that it's new to me ><'

My life is going to change drastically in the next two weeks.

FML.


Wish me luck guys! Oh yeh...and you do know every time I go out with you guys I'll always want to see you guys one more time before I go...='(

Australian Open.

Cannot believe I haven't posted about it yet.

So I'm watching the Men's Finals at the moment. D: Nerve racking I say.

Women's finals I was going for Azarenka so all is well. XD She's pretty =P

That's all for today...I'm going up to Armidale tomorrow so I'll post tomorrow night if I'm not too tired!

NOITES!

Partying partying yeh!

Hey! Sorry...I didn't post yesterday ><" I was very tired.

Ok...

Yesterday morning I went to Eastwood to get all the medical documentation and checks out of the way...So at 9am I got an adult dose of tetanus/diptheria/pertussis in my left arm. My GP then sent me to get a blood test for Hepatitis B antigens (IgG) because they (the university) needed the serology as well as the documentation of the vaccinations. That should come back in a day or so. If not then I need to get three shots in a succession of 2 weeks to cover myself again T^T.

Anyways...after Eastwood I went Zac's place to find a few people lounging about. I would go into detail but to sum up what mostly happened was...pool, piano, pizza, pilkeas (It's the name I made up for anything mixed with Milkis) and Cookie =P Christine got a bit tipsy and the guys were finishing off drinks for the girls. xP COOKIE IS THE HARDEST DOG TO TRAIN. VICKI AND I SPENT AT LEAST AN HOUR WITH HER AND SHE STILL COULN'T LIE DOWN. >.>'' It was like 'Cookie, Down' and there was never a response. Apart from that it was a very relaxing day. ^^ (I discovered that being able to show off on piano really does get the womenz ><") Not that I did of course...=) Keep in touch guys and girls!

We (Stuart Johnston...yes the tall white guy from our school) left Zac's house at around 6pm to go to Arnav's parteh! ARNAV'S PARTY WAS REALLY AWESOME. =O There was drinking, dancing and food. Apart from it being in the middle of nearly nowhere I would rent out that indian restaurant and do it again. I only had a beer and a cruiser but that kept me going for the night. Hmm...the food was interesting, especially the mint sauce =O...how to cook such delicious mint sauce. I kid you not I had no idea what I was eating but as soon as you put the mint sauce on it I would be all over it. The samosas were gone very quickly, and I didn't even get one. =( Not sure if it was lucky/unlucky that I pretty much had to eat half of Amy's food for her. I got half of her samosa =D. <---THAT was only the entree. INORYTE? HOW TO EAT SO MUCH?! Dinner was at 10pm >.>'' ALL THE CURRYS/CURRIES WERE  EATEN. Oh yeh...I was the only yellow asian guy there =P...which was kind of weird and cool in the same way xD

I met old friends and new friends. For those that haven't been mentioned yet on my blog~ Penny, Amy, Yeli, Rebecca, Vivian, Angela A. , Stuart, Kalana, Niro, Sid and Delo KEEP IN TOUCH GUYS! =D Hope to see you guys in the close future. ^^ To my newly made comradeships; Sonia, Hari, Shek, Shirine and Caroline (Caz) I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND MAY YOU HAVE PLENTIFUL RICEFIELDS. =P I LEARNT SOMETHING NEW. CAROLINE WAS APPARENTLY STEPH'S BESTIE IN PRIMARY! =O...IS THIS TRUE? HMMMMMMM? I got emotional saying goodnight to people last night =( BTW I think my quota for hugs is covered for the next week or so, coz I definitely got more than 20 hugs yesterday xP

So eventually I got home around 12:30am...VERY tired, with my left arm in great discomfort because I think I may have had a 'reaction' to the vaccination (my left 'bicep' is actually kind of 'tensed up')...So I couldn't really post last night. I also missed the epic 5 setter between Murray and Dodovic. D=

SOOOO this morning I woke up around 11-ish to Miho's text that she's driving by the park at the end of my street...(I REALLY HOPE YOU WEREN'T TEXTING ME AND DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME!) and yeh, my arm's still sore and family friends have just arrived.

TTYL guys!

CNY and Miho's Birthday. (This is going to be a long post><")

Hey Mr Blog. Haven't blogged in a day or so...so here's a recap of what's been happening xD

CHINESUUU NUU YEAR! (Wenxi's party)


This was on the 23rd right? xD I lose track of time here and there. On the 23rd I went to Parra EARLY in the morning to get a lot of stuff done. I woke up at around 8:30am and went to...firstly the parra westpac branch at 9:00am-ish to fix up some banking things and then I got my RSA card at Parra so I can now legitly work in a bar. =) With that out of the way I went centrelink to update my status and receive more monies and went the ATO to get my TFN again (cause I forgot where I wrote it o''o). Finally I went to the police station to see wtf the NPC (National Police Check) thing was and they told me to go and download apps online and send it to canberra for a three week wait for clearance...T^T. All this was done by...12am. =) It was a very productive morning from my point of view.

Anyways, mum, dad and I went to the city and mum and I had lunch at Pepper Lunch. It was the first time eating at Pepper Lunch for the both of us and we both had curries of some sort. The curry paste was in the middle of the rice and it was dark and sickly looking and I didn't know what to do with it. So mum was like try some and tell me what the hell it is. DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT ingest a teaspoon full of curry paste because it's the most horribly thing ever. The waitress came over (no doubt thinking I was retarded in some manner) and taught us how to eat. I am actually stupid.

Looking for the Wenxi's 'bday' group was a hassle since I actually had no idea where 'Hurricanes' was in the city. I had to walk to Darling Harbour to find them and my phone ran out of batteries T^T. So lost and scary. Eventually I ran into Zac at Harbourside and we tried asking for bottled oxygen (for Miho as a Birthday present) but UNFORTUNATELY they don't sell it separately here in Australia so yeh. =( Ghey. LOL question...does anyone want to actually tried flavoured oxygen at those stands/stalls? xD

So starting at 'Grill'd' we migrated slowly back across toward China town, stopping at the playground for funsies. (We even stormed the water fountain places, scaring allllll the little kiddies) We saw Laura Ho walking around with her family as well. D= We were at the food court at Market City for a while from memory after playing bumper cars before Vicki arrived...and then following Robin around (which wasn't the smartest idea) we ended up on the grassy area next to the Sydney entertainment centre for the rest of the day. I would go through the people leaving and arriving throughout the day but it's just get confusing-er so bleurgh~ =)

Chilling until around 9:00pm we ended up going to Zilver (it's a chinese restaurant in that food court place opposite Caps) and having a chinese new year dinner together. ^^ Friends were awesome but TBH...I wouldn't go back to that chinese restaurant...>.>'' Although apparently Jay Chou's been in there before...*shrugs shoulders* Oh...Zac and Viv had to leave early or else they would've missed their last bus XP so I was left with...unusual company =P

*sniff* It was sad saying goodbye to most of them since I probably wouldn't be seeing them again for a loooong while. Lots of hugs ^^...remember my New Year's Resolution? STILL STICKING TO IT. Are you guys sticking to yours? =)

Miho's Birthday


Lol...I'd like to indirectly say Happy Birthday to Wenxi as well...since his birthday is actually the 24th. BUT ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT (; HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIHO! HOPE YOU LIKING PERRY DA UNICORN!!! (Apologies for no extra flavoured oxygen!)

SOOO in the morning (DEFINITELY not bright-eyed and bushy tailed) I went to Market City looking for the group. As soon as I get onto the escalator I hear the group of them shout out 'Henry/Chibi!' >.>'' So like a derp I ride the escalator up...and then down again. We (OMGSH I SAW VICKY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG WHILE!) just sat around drinking EasyWay and Gloria Jeans, waiting for the person of the moment to arrive. We went to eat at Sussex street mall and then, walking through many firecracker episodes) went to play pool for two hours near CEO. We then went CEO K for another two hours? We met Zac afterwards (I'm sorry for scaring you guys><" but your expressions were priceless) xD I haven't used the words OM NOM NOM in a while so I'm gonna use them now...WE OM NOM NOM'd dinner at Mamak. Sharing everything made me feel closer to everyone. o''o Gosh I'm so moody (mood-swingy?) nowadays. =(

The group split up afterwards because people had to go home. :( Miho, Vicky and I WENT TO CRAZY WINGS. YEH. UMAD?! HA. Vicky thought she could handle the MONSTER. We have video evidence that she couldn't. xP Finished a whole bottle of water by herself in the process. She's so loveable. xD Actually...all the Vicki/Vicky's I've met are loveable. Would most of you agree? o''o Recovering slowly at Crazy Wings we just chatted about stuff and then Miho and I walked Vicky half-way to central where we stopped for a drink for Miho. ^^ I bought Miho a Vodka Cranberry and we just talked until about 11:30pm-ish...Mostly about you guys =P hehehehehehe.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY TWO DAYS OF ABSENCE.

Today I had my first 'driving' lesson in preparation for my P's test, (Yes, I don't have my P's yet coz I'm the laziest person on Earth) and I should be ready in 6 more hours. =)

Just a catch-up on stuff; have you guys been reading? After 'Inheritence' I haven't touched (read) any other books until now. Interestingly enough, normally I'm a fiction reader but I'm reading a non-fiction book at the moment. It's called 'Brain rules' by Dr John Medina (molecular biologist, but is into brain sciences and psychological sciences) and it's just 12 principles for surviving and thriving at work, home and school. Tis a best seller =P haha.

Miho also linked me to this. Tom Jenkin's is good.
http://www.photographyblogger.net/stop-motion-animation-address-is-approximate/
'Photography blogger' is also a pretty cool site.

I have changed my desktop picture to a corgi puppy =3 because they are very k-yoot. Actually...most puppies are very cute. It's just that I'm going through a corgi and beagle phase at the moment. x)

WELCOME BACK TRISTAN! WE'VE GOTTA MEET UP AND YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME YOUR GUNS AND ABS.

ANDDD...I should probably go to sleep now.

Goodnight guys! Swtdrmz! TTYS!

PS. Guys. I'm going to go out on a limb here...and say that I'm 66kg. Is that a good weight to be, taking into consideration my height etc.? I've still got to lose fat and replace it with muscle but should I maintain a weight of 66kg? =O

Lacking.

It's gonna be a hectic month.

So much to do in so little time.

Wish me luck guys.

Oh...yeah...Happy Chinese New Year. May this be a new start for a wonderous year for all us! =)

PS. If I don't post for the next two days it's not my fault...I might be out at night >.>'' 23rd I might be out and 24th is Miho's bday...so we dunno what's gonna happen D=
PPS. I think possums are copulating in the roof space above me at the moment O.o...fuarrrr.....

Happy EARLY CNY?

Watch this:
If you wanna see the actual shuffle go to about 1:50...

Anyways so today we (family and I) went to friends house to celebrate chinese new year, my success and their daughter's success...(she got a promotion at PWC) xD SOOOOO yeh...I'm kind of full of alki atm. Still responsive mind you. Crappy champange...good wine.

Goodnights!

Derping at Ewood.

(Officially now a night crawler to a certain extent.)

So today was probably the last day I'd visit Eastwood before I leave for Armidale/Newcastle, (They distributed me to UNE at the Armidale campus for the JMP) sooo it was a day of wanderings for me.

At around 8:30am, mum got me out of bed to go grocery shopping at Eastwood and being a good boy I am I went along (still half-asleep) to carrying around bags of fruit and fish like a zombie. SOMEONE told me that we would be meeting at around 10am so I'd gotten my mum to designate one and a half hours of shopping time before I would've had to meet up with friends (and she'd go home)...ANYWAYS. At around ten, Viv and Miho were still at Miho's house (with Miho in the shower) and Jen and Don were still...canoodling on the train. =P

SOOO Mum ditched me and went home and I just wondered around Eastwood by myself for half an hour or so before I ran into Betty (who was waiting for Florence) xD and we just kind of chatted about stuff and which way our lives were heading...of course mine was far away =( (I'll ride back on a kangaroo next time!) And around 10:45am-ish Florence found us and Jen and Don called me and we (Betty, Florence and I) parted ways so I could go to Miho's bakery and meet up with Jen and Don. We went to Woolworths to buy vegetable juice since it was a part of their minesweeper bet thing and we met up with Miho and Viv outside the Mall. Just bumming around we headed to the cricket park and just sat about on the swing thing (it's like the one they have at darling harbour) and on the cricket field itself just talking about stuff XD

(Iunno...it felt like an appropriate place to put it...) xD

Walking back into the heart of Eastwood we ate lunch at Meet Fresh and that was whe Zac (with his newly dislocated shoulder) decided to join us. Afterwards we headed to Miho's house, running into Tina along the way, and we cut don's hair and put make-up on him...because he's fabulous. Zac and I made a food run where we ran into Betty and Florence again after Betty's NEW AND FANTAAAaaAAa~BULOUS HAIR CUT, with me carrying all of the shopping and Zac carrying fake eyelashes. Yes. It was an amusing day indeed. Too much talk about Uni though =( Made me feel kind of sad in my own little way. =/ I'm sorry that I'm such a downer but I can't get over the fact that I'll miss you guys..THAT much.=( You can even call it a fear. -sigh- Might as well become an oreo at UNSW (Bachelor of Chocolatier)...

(Once again...another appropriate occasion arises where a picture just happens to fit perfectly)

It's either that or become a cowfish...


OH MY GOD. WHAT I REALISED TODAY. WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING TO ME OVER THE YEARS IS AGAINST THE 'LAW' (if you don't mind the pun...) I mean, you've been poking me, harassing me, punching me, tickling (inappropriate touching) AND TODAY. ACTUALLY FREAKING STRIPPING ME SO YOU SEE MY ROLLS OF FAT...THIS LIST IS A LAWSUIT MY FRIENDS. D= I'll hire a baulko to fight my case in court. xP just kidding. xD


Never forgetting you guysh. So don't forget me: =(

For those who've been wondering....^This is why I'm now silent a lot of the time...

Oh yeh...how to win at Uni...
All the awards must be given.

OKAY there's also a bit of happier news left...
