Doing higher chemistry made me realise that I really should have paid more attention during high school. The fact that I pretty much deleted almost all facts in my head doesn't help. Did I mention I was doing higher chemistry? Not only am I slightly freaked out at the expectations they have of me, part of me is actually excited that I have to work even harder. Yes that's what I said. It's kind of interesting, rather than being bored all semester.
Tabletop games in the future? Very exciting. We're so cool it hurts. There's a comic series I like to read, right now they're doing a Warmachine themed storyline and now I'm really interested in playing it.
This one's my favourite
Today's topic was stuff Whitney likes, specifically Doctor Who. I actually do find the show interesting but I never had the bother to watch all of them. There's like what, 11 series? Daunting if you ask me. This coming from a guy who watched all the episodes of Naruto Shippuden start to latest episode lat last year. Speaking of BBC shows, Sherlock is by far my favourite TV show. Whitney you might like it, they have the same producers and writers. Also Matt Smith applied for the role of Sherlock and failed. Now he's the 11th Doctor.
Next was Power Rangers. Ellyn hated the blue ranger of the Turbo series. So you're saying you can be a power ranger despite being a child. Okay that's believable I guess.. But the fact that HE CAN NOW DRIVE A CAR baffles me to this day.
Also the movie was awesome, the best written movie of all time.
If you're don't want to watch all of it 11:37 is just gold.
Just letting people know that I'm going to be blogging less often now that I have to actually spend my time studying or sleeping early. I'll be posting about once a week now.
Intro lab tomorrow. Don't need lab coats and we're told to wear whatever such as mufti. Big mistake good sir.
Woke up,
got to city at 11:30am,
got Mappen before going to Crossover,
taught Bonnie, Ruby and Yuki Warrior - good progress but more practice needs to be done.
We filled out our application form, despite doing it twice and thinking of answers.
Had dinner at Sussex Centre,
Went home, trackworks is a pain.
Now I prepare for first day of uni in over half a year. Should be interesting.
Woke up pretty late today. Till dinner I was at home all day, doing final editing stuff and whatnot.
My dad took us to dinner at a sushi place. Probably said this already but salmon belly is so good. Also my family are savages when it comes to eating sushi. They either overload their soy sauce with wasabi, or dip every single sushi into soy sauce. Feels like I'm the only one in my family who appreciates eating food. But whatever floats their boat. I'll convert them one day...
Afterwards we went for dessert. We got mango and coconut gelatos. My god the mango one was delicious. Also I couldn't figure out the difference between ice cream and gelato. I realised that I confused gelato with sorbet. Gelato does in fact have dairy in it. Probably something to do with the ratios of cream and stuff.
That was a pretty short blog. Allow me to share a hilarious video I just watched.
Despite me setting my alarm for 10:30am I ended up sleeping in until I got a call from Kelvin who was at campus. I got a small bite to eat before heading over to the city.
I got there early and wondered around Chinatown for a bit. I checked to see if Crossover was open and to my surprise it was. When I got up there Whitney was there as well as some randoms who booked on of the rooms for their own thing. I had to eat something so I left my stuff and went to Mappen.
After eating a tsuke soba and tempura sweet potato x2 I went back to the studio. Soon everyone arrived, and after taking Yuki and Ruby's photos we went into recording our audition tape.
Lack of space turned out to be a huge problem, formation changes were really hard and me and Dan's rolling part was real awkward (Y). Regardless the video turned out okay. I should definitely spend my time editing. My tailbone still hurts, though it wasn't a problem in Warrior since I figured out the proper way to land on my back. My real issue was my right knee. I may have to invest in some knee pads. I hope we get camo pants, it would go well with them.
Afterwards was the group photo, the second take was funny. Then some of us took kpop class which was Jaye Park's new song. The song is actually nice. I should listen to the whole thing when I get home. Others came back on their drink run. Carmen got me an ice tea. That was very nice of her. She also got Whitney yogurt. Delicious yogurt. Definitely the right choice.
Oh right, right now I'm typing this on my phone on the train. It saves me a heck of a lot of time cause I'm usually doing other things at home and also being lazy but I find this super productive to recount the day.
Anyway, we decided to eat dinner at Sussex Centre. I had the ramen at the Japanese place which I haven't ha in a while. I realise the ramen isn't actually as good as the other ramen. So far I only like the one at Gumshira and Menya noodle house. I should get the bento or katsu rice next time.
Kelvin and Rebecca joined us after having their own 'dinner' and then we talked and played fail card games.
We all went to station and on the way Kelvin decided to be a menace to society and tried to affiliate himself with us. One day we should all go to the music store and get a kazoo or another instrument, then we can be a band where people throw money at us to stop playing! Brilliant.
So this exists...
My brother told me to check out certain movies in the trailer section from Apple's website. Specifically these two.
and this
That's right. A movie about the 16th president fighting vampires and a movie about DDR.
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.
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...
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.
