Birthday dinner + Shuffling Flashmob

Yesterday I didn't blog because I got home relatively late and I wasn't sure if I had to sleep early. Moving on, I finally finished Ventus' storyline. By then I actually made a command deck that actually did something, I could activate either cyclone or wingblade depending on my attacks. Wingblade was much more fun to use. The most powerful key blade looks like THAT? Okay sure.

I was at O-week again, this time to visit my faculty and program welcomes. When that was done me and Huy decided to take the secret society challenge. Despite our efforts it seemed that we were too late and our clue was already solved by someone else. Our clue led us to the fitness and pool building on the edge of campus. Using our clue it was obvious that the item we sought was behind one of the bricks. We found the brick but the item was gone. We went back to the stall and it was empty with a note saying that all clues were solved and to try again tomorrow. Obviously the clues were too easy if everyone got them. Not really disappointed, my interest faded when it was hardly a challenge.

At crossover we learnt the last part of the Warrior choreography. Now we know it all! Well sort of. Oh right, Yuki and Ruby came back. Fun times were had catching up and receiving gifts. I got socks. But not ordinary socks. Socks that can totally improve conversation by 30%!

After class we showed Yuki her birthday message video in the form of one of her favourite kpop bands.

Afterwards we had celebratory dinner at Pon. It was our first time there and I say that the food was pretty nice. Luckily we were located upstairs so that we didn't disturb the other customers to a huge degree. After dinner cake was had followed by the usual shenanigans.

We decided that it was getting late and we all went home.

Today

Today's agenda was the Crossover/D2MG shuffling Flashmob on campus. I got to campus around 10ish and got pancakes. It was so hot waiting in line. I met up with Elena before meeting up with Bec and Kelvin with their friends. Kelvin proceeded to go to every stall to get free stuff.

We eventually got to the Quad at the D2MG stall when they said that the Flashmob practice was already starting.

We high tailed it to the round house where it turned out that Jaye was late. So we just sat on the couches. Some of us were hungry so Kelbecca went for a Maccas run, just when Jaye arrived. We relearned the routine, by the time we finished half Kelbecca returned with food.

After finishing practice we decided to do it for realsies at the main walkway. We performed it and I'd say that it was a success, though I'm not sure if it convinced many people to join. We ended up doing it again at the Quad in front of the D2MG stall.

When that was done, Jaye wanted an impromptu Warrior Flashmob in front of the kpop society stall. We ended up doing the entire song. Also I injured my tail bone while doing the last move of the dance break. Hopefully it will get better tomorrow. Pretty much feels sore when I sit, lay on the floor or walking.

We chilled for a but afterwards. Kelvin and I were interested in the rpg boards, and I decided to try out fencing.

We got back to city where we got food/drinks. Then we went to Crossover to check up on things. Bonnie was taking the Wedding Dress course and Kelbecca got called to do promo work. Afterwards we got asked to exchange some money. On the way a random person who was walking in front of me asked if my accent was Canadian, and asked where I was from. Ooh close... but not close enough friend. Yeah I don't really know what my accent is like. I just assume my voice is normal.

Afterwards we pretty much jammed till 6ish and then everyone decided to call it quits.

Time to watch Naruto and Sherlock. I don't feel like going to the final O-Week, unless there's something extremely cool happening. Otherwise I just want to go straight to film our audition.

Listened to BigBang's new song. It reminds me of Love Song, but you know, less annoying when they repeat "I hate this love song" a million times. I was disappointed in the lack of any explosions in this MV. I thought it was the trend in YG MVs.

What explosions you ask? Allow me to show you.

http://youtu.be/NB5jyYD2WEw?t=3m13s - okay this one is questionable but hey, the guy doesn't, you know, get blown to bits.

I'm getting attached to SE7EN's new songs. Though it lacks a full dance, it actually makes you think about how good he can sing, and there's enough dance to remind you he's not a total wimp. But yeah that's what I think...

What year is it?!

Holy crap it's been a while since I blogged, mainly because I'm super lazy writing when nothing much happened. Let's see what I remember.

Saturday
uh... hmm...


Sunday
Went to the city for practice. I had a very filling lunch at Mappen before heading over. When I got there I attempted to teach Whitney the last stepping move in the dance break. It's very fun to do.

Practice pretty much consisted of the dance break and getting it right. Then we realised we needed more work on the verse cause we pretty much fudged that part every time. So we did that too.

Afterwards we waited for Jaye to finish his class. People were playing Pokemon so I joined in as well. Despite Whitney having done so many more hours than me, she only realised how to progress further with the help of David. Luckily she was still hasn't passed me yet! I (under Nuzlocke) luckily encountered and captured a Mareep! Now I have an ace against Falkner. Thinking of nicknames, the guys suggested something 'posh', hence SheepsMcBa was born. It's by far the most greatest name for a Pokemon.

Rather...

Afterwards we ended up not filming our audition and left it to Wednesday. We did some stuff afterwards and then I had to leave to have dinner with my family in the city near World Square. Sushi is nice especially salmon belly, that stuff is awesome.

I decided not to play Pokemon and focus on finishing Kingdom Hearts. Getting there, needs more grinding.

Monday

O-Week time. Arrived there early for some free pancakes. I also got a muffin and apple slices. Nice. Afterwards was just wondering around looking for free stuff. I signed up for Arc and got a bag full of random things. Many other free stuff was taken. Games were played such as sumo wrestling where I won 2/3 rounds. We met Huy and he tried playing giant bowling where he was inside a giant ball thing. We also also signed up for Deetoomage. I considered joining the Kpop society but not sure if it's worth going to. I'll see these coming days.

Went to the lecture block to listen to a talk on game theory and strategic thinking. I found out that it didn't have anything to do with actual games and it was more of a commerce thing. It was helpful anyway. 

Afterwards we went back to the Quad to help Jaye with fliers. Eventually we got them all sorted. Bec's team was too slow and me and Dani totally kicked their butts. Afterwards we decided to leave. Had a late lunch then I went home, Elena wanted to go all the way back to UNSW for a movie. Oh yeah there was that screening where that Channing Tatum guy was going to be there. I bet it was real crowded. Glad I wasn't there.

I probably need to prepare more for uni, such as tours for my actual classrooms and stuff. Also maybe try out that nerf war thing if that's still happening.

I always find these dorkly videos to be funny, cause they're surprisingly accurate.

Carrying Capacity? Level Awesome

Yesterday I didn't blog mainly because nothing much happened save for buying shirts with Huy. Also because I was lazy.

Today I got up at around 10:30AM. I was supposed to catch the 11AM train but I clearly was going to miss it. I ended up being twenty minutes late. I told Huy and Elena to go to Kmart without me. The ended up buying the shirts before I arrived. Turns out that they took a bus from the station which explained their efficiency.

We walked back to the City area for lunch. Tina called Huy cause she had no friends so we met up in World Square for lunch, which was held at the nearby pub. I had the steak while Huy had the chicken. We had then come to the conclusion that the food was nowhere near as good as the one at Cook's Hill. I should take note to not eat there again.

Afterwards we headed to T2 so I could purchase my Gyokuro green tea. I also signed up for membership and I got a card that couldn't even fit in the card pockets of my wallet. Afterwards we went to Coles to buy yogurt for Whitney. Afterwards we realised that Whitney wasn't coming to rehearsals today. Hopefully the yogurt will last till Sunday. When we headed to Crossover Tina left to join her other friends.

The elevator was closed again, yet Jaye was having private class. Strange. Well not really. David, Dan and Carmen arrived and eventually we got in. After a bit of rehearsing we were asked to buy and bring over some water. We travelled to Coles to find the cheapest water. Deciding whether we should buy as much as we can, we ended up buying about twelve cases. We ended up filling an entire trolley as well as four of us carrying a pack by hand. Must of been interesting bringing up a trolley to the studio. We also found Jibbie waiting at the studio.

Picture stolen from Dan. I regret nothing.

Afterwards I took popping because nothing else was going on and it was $5. We learnt backsliding and box gliding.

Then Kelvin and Bec showed up so we did more practice. Kelvin was being his usual self during practice. Why am I mentioning this? No idea. All I know is that Kelvin was with us during said practice.

Afterwards we got kicked out for RnB. I didn't feel up to it so I skipped out on it. Kelvin also didn't want to do it for reasons. Jaye was still teaching Kpop class. Apparently he was teaching Clap. When he was watching the video he then proceeded to go back in the room to teach Crazy. WHAT.

Clare joined our circle. Kelvin was being troll as usual. Giving out random candies and testing Clare if she's Hogwarts material. Yeah too bad it doesn't really work twice. Unless you want to be fooled again.

Dinner time. We went to Eating World. I got the usual and I believe everyone else got theirs as well. Kelvin was throwing chocolates into my ramen as well as everyone else's foods. Bec also shared her dinner with Kelvin who ate nothing but chocolate. How nice haha.

We walked to Town Hall station. On the way David was being stalker on Kelbecca. He has much to learn Padawan. We all went our ways. Kelvin also took the train home. Most interesting indeed.

Start of an Adventure

Dream: I had a dream that I was at a lecture and I met this random girl who did something oddly significant. I couldn't recognise this person at all. Though apparently your brain keeps a mental picture of every person you've seen/met. It would be funny if I met her in real life. Could be some strange sign.


Woke up and got to the city at around 1-2ish. I went to visit the T-2 place in World Square. It was really cool there.They had a lot of containers and pots and stuff. They also had the tea I wanted. It was pricey and I didn't have room in my bag so I decided to buy it another time.

Had lunch with Huy at a Japanese place in the alley way with Crazy Wings. It was alright. The bento box was filling. Huy only got a pancake which left me eating most of the time. When we were done we headed to Crossover.

Jaye wasn't there yet so we waited till he arrived. I decided to practice the dance break of Warrior and then Tina randomly showed up with chocolates and then immediately left. Okay. Jaye arrived and we started setting up for stuff... We got most of it done before class. Class was awesome yet hard to remember. Oh well I can always go back to it in videos. It wasn't that hard anyway. Partnering with Ellyn was fun.

Afterwards meetings were had. I finally decided to eat the chocolate Tina gave me earlier. It was nice, despite people saying that chocolate was too sweet. No such thing as TOO sweet. Dan and I got cast for the roles of Jong Up and Zelo for the headshot part. Multiculturalism? Anyways after that Kelvin and I finished off our parts for the thing despite people constantly watching. In the end we couldn't get the group shot so we decided to save it till Sunday. I should start editing soon.

Dinner was had and I got to eat my favourite ramen at Gumshara. Surprisingly Whitney was eating again after saying she wanted to faint. More surprising is that she was eating more than David. Talks were had though I barely remember most of what was said. Monkey dentists?

The way to the station was ugh. You know who you are. On the train ride home I just listened to Warrior on repeat while reading the paper. I could've started playing DS but I forgot.

When I got home I got asked to drive my brother home from school again. So I did that. Awkward mistakes were made. I dislike driving at night.

I finally started my Pokemon adventure in Johto. Rebecca (Mt. Man) is my rival who continues to be ahead of me. I'll catch up soon enough. I just don't want to run into more night pokemon...

My left finger is swollen. It annoys me.

Comformity

Society is a funny bunch. They make you think that it's necessary to be in a relationship. From TV ads to what friends tell you and a a certain "holiday" that celebrates relationships. What it does is leave single individuals feeling left out and lonely, then they complain about it in some way or form which in turn adds to the discourse. They never tell you that being single has it's own perks. Sure dying alone doesn't sound pleasant, but if you're too busy having fun with life who cares? I for one will never feel loneliness. I have family and friends who I trust and be happy with. Get over it society.

Today I woke up at 4PM. FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON. What the heck. Having nothing to do I decided to head to the shops to look for some of that red material which I called red harness belts. I also wanted to get more fruit juice because I really like fruit juice. It's like my second favourite beverage at home other than tea and juice is much faster to make a cup of. Also we were out of milk.

I got there and I visited Lincraft and after searching I had no luck. I did however find the material but in black and pink only. (so guys...) But I did manage to find that it was called strapping not "harness belts" which made looking it up on the internet so much easier. I went to the supermarket and bought apple and mango juice as well as milk. I also bought moth traps for those annoying little moths in my pantry. It was about time I start destroying them. Also the method of these traps is quite teehee. Do I dare quote? Nah.

When I got home I spent the time trying to learn the stomping part of Warrior. The beat is really fun.

Nothing else was done I suppose. Guess I should aim for an early night and try finish off the dance break.

Unbreakable

The task for today was to collaborate with Ellyn and Elena on finding suitable costumes for the audition/performance. Unfortunately I ended up sleeping at around 4:30AM because for some reason at the last minute I decided to finish off Terra's story in Kingdom Hearts. I woke up slightly late but Ellyn said that she was going to be late so that was less pressure for me. I made it to the designated area of meeting at just a few minutes past twelve. Soon after the three of us were ready to start searching.

Our first place of searching took place in Kmart because I think Elena wanted to find a leather jacket. Also it was a good place to find cheap shirts and pants. I was still voting on camouflage style cargo pants. The girls found their black denims while I found my beloved cargo pants. While looking at the shirts we found a really good skull design t-shirt that had the words 'unbreakable' under the skull. I was really excited because 'unbreakable' was also a song that B.A.P has in their album. This was the shirt. The three of us went to try out the clothes. I was to wear the cargos while the others wore their black pants. The result for mine was this.

It works. Because the other two were wearing the same shirt and black pants they were really dark but the cargo pants definitely makes a difference. Even Ellyn who was initially against the camo pants agreed that the combination was good. To complete the image we just needed red straps and accessories. But we got the idea.

Once we were satisfied we decided to go look around in other shops for good alternatives. In the end we couldn't find anything as good as the option in Kmart. Our only measure left was to check other Kmarts for the same clothes perhaps in other sizes. People were craving food from the city so we decided to head over there. 

After a while of searching we decided on eating at On Ramen. I tried out the ramen. I really liked the egg, though I think I get what Jibbie said when he said that it was like instant noodles. The noodles itself were really soft. Different than other places. Maybe cause they weren't using buckwheat noodles? No idea. 

Afterwards we headed over to Crossover. It wasn't open so we tried calling Jaye. I tried yelling from the elevator. After moments of stupidity Jaye showed up from the street. We rested a bit and then me and Elena decided to check out the Kmart in Broadway to find copies of the costume. Ellyn had to stay and do staff work.

We got there and found that they did in fact sell the same clothes. Which was good so we didn't have to worry about not having enough. Though they didn't have small cargo pants for the smaller people. Perhaps Ellyn can find some in her area. If not alterations can be easily done.

We got back to Crossover and told Ellyn what we found. After that we just sat around the couches. Ellyn took class and after seeing a post that the Lovey Dovey Plus MV was out I proceeded to tell the current receptionist to look for it on youtube and then watched it with Elena and Jaye. Epileptic seizure attack! Was the editor partially blind when they edited this? Perhaps the other version will be less harmful to human eyes.

Then it was home time, and now it's time to relax.

We Gonna Rock This

The arranged meeting time for everyone to meet at the studio was at 1:30PM. I decided to get there earlier so I could practice the beginning myself. I arrived at 12PM and Jaye was about to teach the basic Kpop class. I also overheard something very teehee. Anyways after a bit of practice I remembered that others were having lunch at 12:30PM. Knowing that I'd need as much energy as possible I went and joined Dan and David.

Huy and Whitney also showed up though Whitney didn't eat anything. I had my favourite food at Naruto again. The lady who I usually see was in today. She invited me to her other restaurant which I said that I would visit that night. However I couldn't cause the store wasn't open on Sundays. At least for now I think. She said she'd give me a deal so we should definitely go!

When we got back, other people were already there. We started to go through the routine. We worked pretty hard, then the studio was taken and we had to wait till Jaye finished his class. I went into studio 4 to do even more practice along with David, Jibbie, Elena and Ellyn who occasionally joined in. Eventually Jaye finished his class and we spent about an hour-ish practicing.

Then came Jaye's shuffling flashmob class which I chose not to do cause I was low on energy. Though I was then convinced to take it. Took me a while to get the first part which I missed but during the break Jaye taught me properly which I then got it down. Shuffling was a bit difficult, mainly because I hardly practice it. I think I apply too much force on my feet resulting in friction, making it harder to do. I should try working on that. When the class was over Jaye wanted to film an instructional video. It seemed like it was going to turn out well until his camera's memory was full. He then had to call off the video. It was too bad cause everyone was there and we were going well.

Afterwards we started discussing on the matter of costumes. I'm still a bit sketchy on the fine details but I'm sure they'll be resolved by this week. I still think we should work on the flour effect(click for video). Also the costumes they were wearing that performance weren't half bad. Maybe we should consider it.

We ended up not leaving until 9PM and we haven't even had dinner yet. Dinner was at Eating World and to my dismay Gumshira Ramen was closed. I ended up getting karaage (garage) don at the real Japanese place. Feeling extra hungry I decided to get refills for the first time. I certainly got my money's worth. I should do it more often. Then again I still like eating ramen more.

While waiting for the trains we found interesting new facts about celery. Hmm. A certain someone should test it out.

Got home and now I'm relaxing after a tiring day.
