On the road again

So today was my first time driving since I got back from overseas. I got up, had breakfast which consisted of fried eggs and toast and waited for the instructor to arrive at 1pm. I did pretty well, though I still need brushing up on turn rules and I had to relearn how to do parallel parking. After I finished, my regular instructor called me up and said that he booked a test for me on Saturday. He also wanted to train me as much as possible till then. My next lesson is tomorrow morning, hopefully I can make lunch in the city afterwards. Then Thursday and Friday. There's a possibility I might skip out on going city on Friday, hope nothing important happens.

I watched my brother start Resident Evil 5. Apparently he wanted to play this in preparation for the new Resident Evil 6. Though before playing he told me that he was scared to actually play. I convinced him otherwise. It can't be as bad as Dead Space. At least in horror games you have a degree of control rather than in a movie where you just watch the characters make the wrong moves and die. As I watched the first person get infected in the game I realised that this game has the potential to be scary. But it was a cut scene though, so I'm not really expecting any in game scares. In the cut scene the guy's eyes were bleeding and stuff. Here's the clip.

classy.

Dinner was had, I saw a commercial that Sherlock Season 2 was going to air soon on channel 9. *Excitement* I completely forgot that Season 2 was done. But then I realised I could probably watch it online by now. Choices choices. But yeah Sherlock has to be one of my favourite tv shows. It being Sherlock Holmes and the text effects completely won me over.

New episode of my favourite cartoon show Adventure Time came out and I watched it online. I'm adding 'good cop, bad cop' to the list of awesome things to do before I die.


Covering Change... Are we going to learn the whole thing? That's going to take more than one class won't it? Actually the song doesn't look hard but apparently we're not even getting up to the Jun Hyung part...

Also can you suggest a more suitable person to be HyunA? Mhm didn't think so.

Well I'm probably calling it a night early, got that drivers thing and all. Night everyone.

We never stop, let's rock

Yesterday was the anticipated parade day. Instead of waking up at 10:30 I managed to sleep in till 12. I realised that I was supposed to meet up with Kelvin for lunch so I pretty much had to leave straight away. I had Maccas then we realised that Kelvin was supposed to be at the Sunday rehearsals so we high tailed it over there.

Since it wasn't my day I decided not to take part and just relax on the couches. Toby gave me and Elena a small lecture on the theory of dance which is supposed to apply to all styles including choreography. I still have the diagram he drew about music theory. Perhaps I should start building a scrapbook on theory.

I think there was a break between the two parade rehearsals but not sure what happened then. I think people went to get lunch and stuff. We also danced Crazy again (well we did it many times) and it still never gets old. We should definitely try to learn more of it.

Anyways it was time for everyone to meet up for the parade. Announcements were made and we got down to organising ourselves. My group brought orange fabric to accessorise themselves. It was pretty cool to see their enthusiasm. Final practices were done and my group went out for last minute food. We ended up going to Sussex centre. Went back to the studio then we all made our way to the meet up area at the Anzac Memorial.

After that we had to wait a really long time for the parade to start. It actually felt longer than the parade itself. I expected the parade to have been more tiring though we ended up moving more than stopping to actually dance. Footwork was basically impossible without looking like a sped. By the end we were all sweaty from parading. Luckily the weather wasn't too hot. We ended up going back to the studio to get our stuff and when we got there ice cream was present so a certain duo went nuts and hoarded a whole tub. After that was some jamming. MORE Crazy, past performances and other dances were done, with glow sticks. The effect was really cool. Pizza was had and I stayed until my last train.

Came home really sweaty so a cold shower was really nice. I then proceeded to go on computer and stay up till like 2:30.

Not knowing if my driver's lesson was postponed I had to wake up at 6:30am and get changed to be sure. I then got a call from my instructor saying that he did postpone it to 4:30pm today. Relieved, I changed back and went to sleep till 1:30pm.

edit: scratch that, the lesson got cancelled and is now tomorrow.

oh internet, you never cease to entertain me.



Victory is indeed sweet and it was fun while it lasted. Till next time.

Jiokgata!

I went to the studio in the early afternoon. Whitney and Kelvin were there already. Kelvin was trying to work out my code. Odds are he still won't be able to figure it out. Despite it being girls kpop class, it was another undecided class which ended up being Crazy by Teen Top. It was the funnest class of all time. After that was the parade class for newcomers. I had the opportunity to tutor one person, though he'd already been in the practices before.

Lunch time with Kelvin. He was late for work so we went to Hungry Jacks. We sat next to the window and bet on which people/cars would cross the road first. Elena, Bec and Bonnie showed up and found us, despite our elaborate Disguise. Kelvin left for work and we then bumped into Whitney and Jaye who were about to go to Pitt Street to see a Kpop contest. Apparently today was a Korean culture event for the lunar new year. We bumped into Huy on the way. We also came at like the end of the event. We were also late for the Saturday rehearsals. Jibbie was waiting at the studio when we got there.

Saturday rehearsals was good. We learned the whole routine and got down formations. I'm pretty happy with my group. All for the best tomorrow. Afterwards was jamming. Old performances were jammed to as well as Crazy again. After that I had to go home early cause my brother was home alone. He ordered pizza and we had that for dinner.

For some reason this blog post feels shorter than it should... oh well.

I probably should refrain from wasting energy tomorrow. Also to horde as much water as I can.








In regards to my previous post - I'll tell you now that it only makes sense if you know what you're looking for. My final hint is that the numbers are in no particular order.

If that code proves too much for you, here's another one. But my conditions on the previous code still stand. This one is just for fun, but has value also. May God help you, or perhaps a Roman emperor.

U ready for the hotness?

Guys I'm not going to copy and paste again, that would be totally unoriginal.


So like, I am ground zero to what appears to be a sickness epidemic. Great.

To all those who get sick, I'm so very sorry. To those not sick yet. You should try not getting sick. That should help.

Today I arrived at city at 12ish with not much to do. I decided to do a bit of shopping and yeah I totally enjoy buying cool things that have potential uses even if that opportunity never arises. Met up with Elena for a little bit then we parted ways to do our own stuff. Was going to have lunch with Kelvin but he totally ditched me. So cut but it was fine I decided to eat at my favourite place in Market City.

Ended up being late to Crossover, well slightly late. Bec was back, and gave us Pokemons. Jaye was already doing warmups so ended up skipping it. I know some people don't like sit ups but guys I can't really stress how important it is to build our strength up. We'd really benefit from it. Which is why we should definitely raise the standard every Wednesday class or even Sunday practice when that happens. The class was undecided then it became Mona Lisa. Which was good since I forgot the choreo the last time. Actually I might forget it again. Sadly the dance isn't that memorable other than the chorus. Hooray for teamwork and colour symmetry. It was actually more fun than last time.

Parade practice was after. Being a Saturday leader, I decided to sit this one out due to there being a lot of people and being slightly tired from last class. I decided to learn a little bit of Teen Top which I've come to really enjoy the move simply because it is so power based. I helped Angeline with the 3 step and six step. I just have to say keep working at it. There's no perfect defined way of doing it just get used to the movement and make it your own by making it look like you have complete control. I danced and sung Crazy with Emily which was real fun. It's just that much of a really fun dance.

Afterwards Jaye wanted to remake the video for the parade learners. Hilarity ensued, I had the honour of being the DJ, and yes I laugh if people actually contact Bec. Apparently the whole video lasted an hour. I'm surprised Jaye's camera could film that long. Guess that's the advantage over a DSLR. Not bad of an advantage. Good thing I have my own camcorder which I'll keep in mind for lengthy videos.

Afterward everything else, we went to Mappen for some dinner and went to our respective stations. Elena lost her multi, I felt really sorry cause she had a relatively sucky day.
By the way thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

I might learn some more of Teen Top tonight. I'm starting to favour intro songs with dance because they're more concise and dance focused though so far I only know You're my Lady and Teen Top. If there are more of these perhaps we could use them in performances?


who wouldn't like a dance where you can yell like crazy?







So I see you decided to not make any moves recently. I suggest you should, because henceforth I'll be making my own sooner than you think.

Too lazy to blog

Elena was with me most of the day, so I'm going to copy and paste her blog right here because I can.

Today was pretty rainy I suppose. Just the usual - got up early to get my uni ID (which looks terrible btw - nuuu stuck with a crappy photo) and walked up 10 floors... rushed to get down cuz that was totally hilarious like that... Uhmm yeah. Bumped into Christina and Claudia and then Beryl at Mappen when we ate at Pepper Lunch. Oh and we also dragged Kelvin along so that was totally smart. Uhmm. Went to Crossover, then went to eat at Thainatown... and yes milk. And then it was Look Only At Me (again... after a course and a class later) and yeah. Nothing new... Then 90s music. More clues that I don't understand... I totally give up LOL. Trying to figure it out by myself doesn't work ): Oh yeah then dinner happened and I didn't eat... much. Kinda. Blame Kelvin LOL. And then Carmen and I went home and like yeah. That's about it for my day. Mundane life is mundane. Anyone want to eat steak? I'm poor.



Well played my adversary. But I feel that this game is drawing to a close. It's only a matter of time.

Game Time

Recovery rate? Too early to tell, I'm still coughing but it's less painful I suppose. Or that could just be a placebo effect.

Early wake up thanks to my highschool friends who came over my house. Today was supposed to be our LAN party which I started back in the day. Though this year I wasn't the one who really organised it. Anyways what we would do is play multiplayer games, typically Halo. Though it kinda sucked that there are no other games that we could play that was similar and Halo was getting pretty old. Also I was tired and kinda out of it, I don't think I had as much fun as I should've. Playing the new gametypes was interesting. Speed Halo was cool. And the LAN party favourite, Duck Hunt, where one guy snipes defenceless players as they run for their lives.

Afterwards people just did whatever, some played Modern Warfare 3, Seb was playing Splinter Cell again after he lent it to me months ago. David was playing Dead Space 2 from the start using my save. I didn't really care cause when you do that you keep the items from the previous save. In my opinion that's a bit OP for a survival horror game. I was surprised when he got the final armour at the beginning of the game. If I were to play again I would've started from scratch. I totally want to spend one night with friends playing this game in the dark with loud volume on the highest difficulty. That'll turn out real well.

I'll probably call it a night early. People tell me to sleep more. Got to get up early for funsies tomorrow, and hopefully no dramas haha.

New videos of performances on I Just Got K'd's youtube channel. Click the link on the side.


I will find out your secret. Even if I have to put in a ridiculous amount of effort into it. The game is on.

Cured?

Went to the doctors today at Parramatta. It was a bit of a wait but I wasn't bored since I had my phone. So I was diagnosed with hypersomething coughing (I have such a great memory) caused by extreme changes of weather. I guess that's plausible since it started when I was travelling on holiday. So my prescription was to take one tablet 15 minutes before eating. Right like I totally plan when I eat. Also got some cough medicine which should do better than the one I'm using now.

Afterwards I decided to explore Parramatta since I haven't done that for a while now. A new thing I found out was that there's a new asian media store which half of it is made up of Kpop music. It was like the one at Chinatown but the one in Chinatown is still much better. But still it's nice to know that I have a local store. I wanted to buy something and I ended up choosing to buy the new Teen Top album. When I first saw it I thought the album was called "It's Teen Top". But when I stuck it in my laptop itunes identified the album as just "It's". Okay...

Where do they come up with these album names?

Also I got this cool card of L Joe. I guess that makes him my bias now. Destiny has spoken.

Hopefully this medicine will help me get better. This has been going on for a while now. I actually fear that I'll be like this permanently.
