WOOOOOOOOO!! Work experience is OVER!
And as the name says, it was, an experience.

I guess the experience of waking everyday at 6:30-7:00..and knowing its a school holiday, and having to get changed and ready to get to Uncle Mark's house by 7:25 so he can ferry us both off to work. The days I didn't have to wake up so early, were the days where I caught the train in the morning. Ahhh..so I get to the station at about 7:45 and get to the city at about 8:45. Stupid morning trains. So that was an experience, as well as ending work at 5 and getting home by 6. Monday and Tuesday getting home at 7. Thanks toooo Uncle Daniel, Uncle Mark and Uncle Tiow Lam for the opportunity to work at AMI Ed, and Heather for being my supervisor...and all the people there (although I doubt you'll ever read this) and...yeah was alright. Filling is so repetitive though, I swear. Tedious and time consuming.

ANYWAY, So yesterday I got off early, at 3, so I could get to the doctor's by 5 =P. Took THAT long. AND TODAY I was allowed off at 12:00! Cuz, I'm actually getting sick. From dad and mum. The stuff Uncle Kuang gave to me on Thursday, is what everyone else in my family (mum and dad) are taking =P So now we're all on drugs. I was afraid of being sick before and during mission and being crapped up all week. But with a bit of earnest, consistent prayer, God's healing hand...and on the side, some Lemsip and the antibiotics, the cold I think has gone through its worst phase. SWEET.

I think what also helped was getting off early today, yeah, so met up with Jolinks and Spleng and went for lunch at some "shady" corner in Ching-town. Which we searched every alley...and ended back at the first one and found it. Had dumplings, quite cheap! And nice too. Connections Leng =) And throughout the day we were just roaming looking through shops, clothes..etc. Marvelling but not purchasing =P

Then walked around, got Boost and stuff, then went back to Glen, bummed a bit more then went home. Good use of like 5 hours. Oh then for like the second time ever, met Eu Yane and took the bus back to knox with him =P Freaky. So YEAH today was good good! Laughs and stuff.

SO Today was good, and I'm excited about going to Kurrawang, sooo, although tired, I need to pack. Sadly. Laters! Take care this next week!

Rest In Peace

Wednesday - 21/06/06

last night tammie was really playing up..passing blood (OKAY SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT PASSING MEANS, THINK OF PASSING WIND...THANK YOU!), and peeing uncontrollably (they call that..incontinence). SO she was in pain, and flinched when you touched the left of her body. If she didn't survive the night, we'd have to put her down on Wednesday (today).

She survived, so at 7, before I left to go to work, I spent my last five minues with her. *sigh* Had work today, filing all day. She was put down in the afternoon sometime.

Tired as, and I think I'm a tad sick, so I best be going to sleep. I took a Dimetap too..with antihistimine so I think I'll get groggy anyway.

WOW almost a week since I last blogged..I'm almost forgetting about this thing =P I need a new theme too..hmm.
WELL, the last week of school was alright. I dreaded Friday, but it ended up being really good!
I dreaded it because:
- English Oral was due ... hadn't done it
- Methods work to do. Hadn't done it.
- Didn't understand methods =P

Ended up being good because my oral went alright and in methods, after helping me..there was another class "party". I.e. food drinks and no work. Sweet.
Had sport from lunch til' end of day...and sport for me (volleyball team came SECOND) ended at 3:00 so yeah..awesome.

Saturday, Mission Training and Marcus and Jon rocked up to stay over, but...Mark, without call or anything (I told Aunty Jackie otherwise =P) didn't rock up. Too busy getting "drunk on coke with Hazel and Sarah". Psh. We were GOING to watch Tokyo Drift...but it didn't download in time. Slept at 2 something. Bummed all night really =P

Sunday, finished downloading part 1 of Tokyo Drift, so began part 2, to be ready by the time we got back from church. The usual ritual of everyone coming back to my house before Apex was somewhat altered...temporarily. We went to knox for lunch then all split up. I went with Marcus, Grace and Jon to look for track pants for Grace...and ended up looking at fragrances with Jon and Marcus too. oh.

CHARLES IS BACK!

too bad I'm practically booked up for this week. Gah. More of that later. Sunday, had Apex and for the first time. No Apex News?! I didn't have the time. Gah. ah well, I drummed so I was pretty tired. I slept at.
9:30
...nine
if you didn't catch that. WOW. Then woke up at 3:00 like halfway through the Brazil vs Aus match to see the Brazillians score 2 goals against Australia and Australia dirty it out again...with no goals =P

Ah well. The woke up at 6 something TODAY. MONDAY. To get ready for work ex down at Uncle Daniel's school in the city. Woke up, did what I needed to do, got to Uncle Mark's...ferried to the school and worked all day.
1st job - absentee forms. Gotta fill it out on the intranet for the school. Net is slow ><>

2nd Job - FILING! The legendary joyous job of getting sheets and sorting them into files. No more explanation needed.

Had lunch ... after the 3 hours of filing. Went to Maccas, got chips and then ate cabonara from home. Then at 2 I began to do Application Forms for the school and type it up online...the details then make a quotation and Letter of Offer and all this gay =P. Gah. I'm mentally screwed right now. So yeah. Uncle Mark sent me and Uncle Daniel home, I got my stolen jacket back from Grace and got home at 7. *die*

Now I'm going to...do whatever. So yeah..ttyls.

oh. and I beat my done up GDB's Iro record...with a stock Evo IV. 3.10 first go. Dang man. =.=
[photos from the past week's endevours]

Saturday: Mission training
Sunday: Church then Chaddy with Ka and bought a new Stussy jumper for a certain amount that is disclosed but hidden. 100 myer voucher dollars. Then to Sarah's house to chill with Spax, Jenn, Blick, Jon, Ka, Marcus, Mark and Scout and then to Jon's for dinner with Marc, Jon and Ka.
Monday: Instead of following Mum, Ruth and Ka to DFO, I goto knox with Marc and Jon for lunch, then buy Jon's Champion's League soccerball, then to Borders to read for an age, then Timezone then home, then park and soccer for two hours with a random ex-England-5th-League player (apparently) and then dinner at Ka's.

10:30 - Jap vs. Aus game has begun, and I'm doing my methods homework. Due Tuesday. =.=
11:00 - Checked out the highlights:
6' - Viduka has a shot at goal, gets deflected, has another shot and screws it up.
26' - Japan's "fair", and only goal.





Now to be honest, even a blind person could see that the Japanese guy push Schwarzer. Man. Pressure on the Aussies for like..the rest of the match.

27' - Kewell gets a shot, but to no avail, a tad too high.
41' - Bresciano has a free kick, bit too far to the right, Kawaguchi deflected it nonetheless.

HALF TIME - Australia, you're pissing me off. You've had like most of the possession and yet Japan's defence is just kicking your ass. You're freaking me out when they do get a break because your defence is like..missing. COME ON, my hearts beating hard (so was dads. Mum however was asleep next to me)

53' - Bresciano off, Cahil on. Little did they know how much this substitution was worth.
69' - Josh Kennedy was tripped! Cha! Viduka took a shot but Kawaguchi had the time and the reflexes to push it aside.
84' - Aloisi, penalty king, takes a free. My breath was held. But, Kawaguchi proved to be better than expected. Corner to Aus
84-85' - Kicked, headed by a Jap and Oz, landed on by a Jap, Cahil pick it out from underneath and scores the equaliser. My dad had said before "no way Australia will equalise"
Now he said, "If Australia scores it'd be a miracle". We both settled back into bed. Woke mum up I..THINK.
89' - Tim Cahil, again, a few metres out from the box, takes a stunning shot and off the left post it hits the net on the mid right. Mum gets woken up again.
90' + 2 - Injury time. Australia is inspired. Japan is tired, their defence is leaving gaps and Aloisi, with a sudden burst shoots the ball in as if it were force of habit. Secured and shut. We had won. Mum got woken up once more.

THE best man. The best. I wanna watch Brazil's match now =P Skipped school today cuz of bad bad bad bad stomach ache. Killer. So rested and slept. Cool.



sorry its a bit long, but yeah. Why did I write all that up just now =P. I like this guy's accent.

Keh-wah-geeyu-chi dude!

Thanks for doing an entry for me ka.
SO YEAH I did just get back from camp at Phillip Island. One nighter =.=" Thurs to today..so lame. Nothing much happened..just did the activities...for today we basically just didn't do the activities, just played soccer whilst other people in our group did. We meaning Jon, Alex, Michael, Tyrone, Jay and myself. There was the giant swing, and all that jazz..we'll be back at Family camp anyway Phillip Island Adventure Resort don't you worry.

Got home, had a shower. DING DONG!
There's Ruth, Ivan and Kathleen.
"LET US INN ARGGHH 30 SECONDS OR WE'LL DIE" It seemed that Kathleen hadn't done her UMAT rego yet, and it was due at 5:00..the time was 4:55. Kathleen had gone, whilst at knox "Oh man..my UMAT". So they RAN, didn't bus, they RAN from knox to my house..Nutheads. They registered at 5:10 or something, no late fee...and left my house at like 5:40. Ka came over later, cuz we thought ruth'd come back to my place and then get picked by Uncle Luke at Bib-a-ble study. Ruth went home =P But ka and I had a massive d&m jumping to a billion different topics. Dads computer went bust as well. *sigh* no internet, which was a good thing..cuz all we could do was talk.

And thats it. You wonder how I can update? Asked ka to update and then I'd edit later, so yeah..its actually Saturday but I'm blogging for friday =) Ja-ne

woke up at ... 10 I think today. St...no I didn't study. Doing that now/tonight. Left the house at 1:30 and took a bus to Knox. Then took the 737 Croydon to Glen..wait. No.

Took it to Croydon. Bloody stupid Croydon. Instead of turning left onto Burwood Highway, it turned right, then onto Stud Road. I thought "Hmm.." but didn't bother asking. Then I'm in Bayswater, then in Boronia and then finally Croydon. What Glen!? I thought the 737 gets there?

Glen <-------> Knox <---------> Croydon

so since Knox is in the middle, I took the wrong way =P
Was supposed to meet up with Mark at like..2.
By the time I got on the right bus at Croydon and had gone backwards and reached Knox again, it was 3:05. Got to Glen to meet an awaiting Khai, Leng and Jo (no Mark, Grace or Faith) at 3:35. I had spent a total of roughly 1 hour 30 (give or take 10 minutes) on the bus, just to get to the Glen. Bus n00b. Yeah I know.

I actually was going to the Glen just to get my camera and Vicky's Michael Buble CD back. No case or cover for both.

Went to Star East, ate with the three. Had to buy an extra drink because minimum 3.50 per person. Jo and Leng bought nothing = Psh. Talked for a while, good fun, got to know Khai and Leng. Khai disappeared after and we walked aimlessly for another don't know how long. By then it was like...4:50. Went to the bus stop, we chatted til' the bus (the proper one) came. I was pretty sure it was the right one cuz' Eu Yane turned up with Cheryl? Sheryl? mm..and was going to Knox. So good, he was my security. Talked on the way home about VCE subjects, GAT tmrw for all you people and church and whats-been-happenings.

And that was my day, a fairly enjoyable one at that. Time to study, and then tomorrow accounting exam and then FREEDOM. Oh wait, camp on Thursday - Friday. =P

Chow for now

Pics that the thief and her thief friends took on my cam.

ah forgot to update for sunday

Sunday
Woke up at 7...30 methinks. Worship practice at church then had church and Sunday school, and it was on prayer if I remember correctly...and for some reason I really enjoyed the lesson. It was good re-affirmation. SO YEAH. Icky Vicky gave me the Michael Buble CD that I gave to her for her birthday cuz I need it to rip a...well basically I need it to make a backing track for vocals. Then a heap of us stayed after church to scab (or rightly deserve) lunch with the Sunday School Teachers and Kids.
Scabbers were:
- Ashley Chan
- Jason Taing
- Alex Tang
I'm not sure...Jo? are you a scab..? No clue. But after and before lunch we were trying to get the Pick It Up DVD working on the projector, which the PROJECTOR worked, but sound wouldn't. Yet sound worked for anything else. *shakes fist* darn sound thingy of PS DVD.

HEADLINE! My camera went missing. I remember giving it to Liang and then it was missing since then. Then HEADLINE! I get home, look inside the Michael Buble and the CD IS GONE. I swear...I called Spammy to ask her if she knew, then to get Liang's number. Called Liang a few times, he wasn't in. Called Vicky, she was at dinner, she wasn't sure if she had the CD in the case or not. And just about everyone on msn knew I lost my digi-cam. GAH. Went to church to see if it was there (Da Vinci Code Seminar was on...I didn't stay), at the same time picked up my guitar which I left there. No camera or CD. Went home. Called Jo before I ate dinner and asked, she "didn't have it". Spam called back and said that Beny said that Jo had the CD for a bit. Called Jo again.
J: What do you need the camera for?
A: Ah..I have like a digital photography exam on wednesday...
J: Oh...well...........come to my school tomorrow and pick it up.
A: owqegbOWIEGBWEgio

so yes, she was the culprit. She took the CD as well.
I MEAN WHO RACKS the CAMERA - without the case, so no extra batteries, and A CD but NO CD COVER? Omgosh. Omgosh. Omgosh.
Ended up speaking crap to each other for an hour on the phone.

Even more, for the past two weeks shes been telling me shes with this "Pete" guy. Like "Where are you Jo?" - "At Pete's :)" s2's and all.

I find out today "Pete doesn't exist". Stupid freak. You have nothing beter to do right? Gah
Thats it. Todays Monday and I'm at home studying for my Accounting exam on Wed's.

All the best for you who have exams still, and for those who have finished, shiok (changes thanks to Vicky and Jon's support) right?

woo just caught today in time !

I slept at 4 this morning...and I can't tell you why, but Jon knows. If he tells, he admits to being as lame as me cuz he was doing exactly the same thing =P

Woke up at 11...and since then had a headache like mad. Had Mission training, that was good, and then worship practice...but yeah, the headache was bugging me all day. After church, got to drive the car from parking to the front to pick dad up =P Ka and Grace in the back (surprised you guys trusted me!). Yeah..gotta work on braking...er...parking and...everything. Ah well. And yeah, Ka came and hanged with me for a bit at home before being picked up and then I zonked out. Had Bob's dumplings for dinner *SO GOOD* and now I'm here. Just had a 40 minute pointless chat with Jo...so today was reasonably good!

yeah cool, ttyls!
-spash

so today was good good! Thursdays are always bludges, but at lunchtime I got to finish off my recordings, re-recording the guitars with Matt Simpson and over dubbing the vocals to Daughters.

Did you know, yesterday, one of the International Students like...well its like this, there has in the past been tension between white guys and internationals...cuz' white guys think they're top and everything and pick on the internationals I guess...so this white guy hits one of the internationals and the guy lifted his jumper, showed a sheathed knife, half unsheathed it then put it back in and said something...but anyway tension like mad man. So what're they gonna do to the guy? We're not sure...and there's a massive debate on what should be done yadada. So yeah, thats to get word out and around that Haileybury is a deadly school *looks around* joking. I love it cuz the Music facilities ROCK.

Signing up for the Tattoo too, the combined school concert every 2 years...I can't wait...hopefully I can get a role somewhere musically.

AND yeah, today was good.

Ah, if you recall those comics I had a while back the "Hey I'm Mike" *squeeze* comics? or just known as the *squeeze* ones. WELL I've found two more and a funny other one. One today.
