Things that happen to other people.

So in the holidays I went to Hawaii, spent four days at Lahaina, Maui and another six at Honolulu, Oahu. The culture is pretty tourist based and seems to have lost all its value, focussing on making money more than keeping their- this sounds like navigating the global so I'm gonna stop. It was rather uneventful except for almost dying in the middle of the ocean. Very nasty affair. Must remember never to go on a boat again. But I got rescued by the Coast Guard which was fun, albeit borderline conscious.

After I got back not much happened for the next couple of weeks, spent most of my time playing Left 4 Dead 2, until I received 2nd prize on Steam's Christmas Giveaway. However due to my laziness, I didn't update my wishlist, resulting on winning prizes from last year's giveaway. I still got myself BF: Bad Company 2, COD: Black Ops, Monday night combat, Poker night at the inventory and Dead Rising 2.

The other night I had a sleepover with about 25 other guys. No homo. Pretty much gamed all night and morning. By 11am the next morning I was in need of some proper food, because this is all we ate.
















I reckon after seeing 50 odd packets of migoreng getting cooked, you sort of lose your appetite. Should have tried using the bathtub rather than just 1 pot.











As the night progressed and the early hours came by, people started collapsing all over the place. Which is why we decided to mess with their sleeping bodies. People slept with crap on their faces for up to an hour, before they moved and turned in their sleep.
























The other day I went to continue my pool aspirations despite considerable failure, afterwards leading to one of the best situational photos of all time. While eating at an underground Asian food court, a, shall we say dark-skinned fellow, appeared with a bottle of Coke. Now most people should be aware of the 'Share a Coke with xxx' campaign. Well this is what he got.

However as university approaches, there's going to be less time for fun and games, but don't ever forget to enjoy yourselves.

Pool, Amnesia, Sleeping, Reddit

Went to play pool a couple of weeks ago at Cityheroes and found something new that I'm interested in. I also invented a few new styles of playing, only one of which I've decided to keep using after the incident with the ceiling light. Post-pool I saw the below par film Immortals, but I got my fill on popcorn and some decent action so I guess it was worth it. One highlight of the night included seeing a guy getting an 81,000+ combo on Dance Dance Revolution. The craziest bit was that he wasn't Asian.

So the other night I went with a group of guys to play Amnesia: the Dark Descent. To be honest the majority of the game was rather slow paced and relatively boring, but worth it for the scary moments. The puzzles were beyond irritating and ragequit worthy on separate occasions. However many highlights include: when Pop came out of the closet, the melting portrait, forgetting to close the door (biiiig tip for those who plan to play). Hopefully some of it was captured on film and will be posted up on YT soon. For those brave soldiers who plan to play this game alone, I'm glad I've known you, goodbye.

And for those who are too scared and require a party, then have fun sleeping the night after. I had great difficulty sleeping despite being awake for 30 hours straight, however by the time I did fall asleep I slept 18. Now my sleeping routine is so messed up I might as well throw my clock away.

I saw a joke on Sickipedia that was really meaningful for once.
"Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world." Shiiiiit son. I've also browsed Reddit endlessly for trivia, jokes, and anything remotely interesting which has resulted in quite a lot of good results. Too many to share, but I definitely recommend a good browsing of that site.

Lastly I must recommend To Sir with Love (Korean film) as it was one of the best movies I've seen in a looong time. Be careful not to download the other films as many films have the same title and have nothing in common. (Unless of course you have morals and whatnot and want to rent.)

Some of you may know I tutor primary school children at my house. Well fortunately this week I got some serious bug that's fucked up my throat which means I've avoided teaching for another week. This is like the 10th time, and when I called up the mother, she was borderline pissed off over how often I'm sick. Oh yeah? Well your youngest son is a fucking retard. How do you like that? How do you forget the concept of subtraction? FFFUUUUUUUU

I was reading the newspaper the other day and saw some guy who's a minister of racism or something like that. His name is Tokyo Sexwale. That's an African name, so I'm assuming it wasn't so funny when he was growing up, but his name is Tokyo Sexwale. Wow, gg.

Had a sleepover at a Lebanese mansion the other day and watched Hatchet which is an awesome horror movie. I then watched the sequel by myself which was equally awesome. For those that saw the first one, you gotta see what happens next, also more cool murders, very gory. Very excited about the trequel coming out next year.

The formal is coming up soon and may be the last time the grade is gathered together. I wish I had my own suit, but my mum is giving me handmedowns. The suit is so old the white fabric is turning yellow. Thankfully I'm not a girl and have to go through all the makeup and hair bullshit. Anyway hope everyone has lots of funz.

Recently finished watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer which was frickin' brilliant. For those that don't know, it's a supernatural/drama/slice of life with some horror and some comedy thrown in as well. 144 one hour episodes is quite a commitment, which makes watching it very easy to put off. But the best thing about it is the maturation of both the actors and the writing, with the first season very PG rated but the final season has lots of depth and development. Joss Whedon is the creator who also made Firefly, Dollhouse, Angel and Serenity and is a fucking genius.

New things, old things and future things

During the school holidays I had the wonderful opportunity to do lots of things I've never done before. I turned up for my first court hearing, and despite how formal and respectable a Court of Law seems, the lawyers/magistrates/registrars were joking around before and during my hearing. Also, the waiting room outside was filled with bogans and crackheads which left me with no sense of belonging.
I'm also seeing a 'natural healer' who's clearly a gypsy trying to consume my youth. She makes me drink some weird concoction and I have to do acupuncture every week, which I've never tried before.
I also got a crepe at Mothers Crepe which was pretty awesome. PS I have coupon for their stuff, so ask me if you want one.
I also went jewellery shopping a couple months ago and went into one of those high class ones, where everything is white and only old people work there. They even had an old school scale used to weigh the diamonds and shit. Then I went to a more mainstream store and it suddenly seemed really cheap. Then I went to an accessory store and found the true meaning to cheap. After going to that super expensive store and realising one ring is worth more than me, it put perspective on value for me. And I've also decided to never get married cos that shit is waaaaay overpriced. I'll get a Burger Ring or something.

Lots of people have asked me where names/nicknames come from. Starting with 'Bob'. Quote A. Chin: "it was back in the first weeks of Year 7 on the Carlingford services. Think Fifi asked what your name was, and you answered Bob. Then Fifi introduced you to everyone as Bob. Think the name stuck ever since." This was after I asked him where the hell my name came from since I'd forgotten myself.
Gamers have also asked me quite often where 'tadfg' comes from. Well the first time I made a gaming account it was a Runescape account. Since I had no names in my head, I just mashed the keyboard and tadfg popped out. So I've used it ever since.

I saw an awesome quote by some junior on Facebook: "If you keep comparing today to the past, you will never improve. The only way to improve is to compare today to your vision of the future". His name is Bob so I'm not surprised he's so smart. I Googled it just to check if it was original and I found no similar results. Not bad junior boy, not bad.

I bet most people have been thinking over the last few months what they hope to do after the HSC. I too have been thinking this, and so I made a short list:
  • All you can eat buffet with friends/eating competition
  • Horror movie marathon
  • Oddball marathon
  • Start a new MMORPG
  • Grow a moustache
  • Empty out my anime 'plan-to-watch list'
  • Find the seven dragonballs
One of those is obviously pretty impossible. Every time I watch something, my plan-to-watch list just gets longer.

My advice for those stressed during HSC, play some Magical Banana!

"Magical Banana! Banana reminds me of yellow! Hai!"
"Yellow reminds me of the flames on that day..."

Hospital

Although most people know my situation now, some people I haven't had a chance to tell what's been happening. Couple of weeks ago an incident occurred which led to me being admitted into a hospital in the psychiatric ward. Although I believed I was perfectly fine psychologically, the doctors were convinced I needed some time to 'rehabilitate'.

Anyways, that's over and done with, but there are still lots of issues to resolve regarding my HSC, university course choice, and place of residence as well as further therapy and legal issues. Thankfully I've avoided criminal charges but I am still due to turn up in court this month. Due to all these issues and exams coming up again, this blog will have to be on hiatus again until next month at least.

Not to worry though, everything is fine, I'll be back to my usual immature self soon enough.

For now I will post random pictures I took on my phone.

Spray some of this on yourself and people will be 'mirin'.











Found this in the waiting room at the doctor's. This belongs in the same series as Bob Fail.











Watching Gintama on TV. Somehow even funnier than before.

Hoooly shit someone used too much Mirin seasoning 'cos you be 'mirin. Look at all the glitterz in my hat.

Songs, movies, crime

I've been listening to some new songs recently, mostly softer songs including: 'It's nice to be alive' by Ball Park Music, 'Tiny dancer' and 'your song' by Elton John, 'Wish you were here' by Pink Floyd and everything by the Foo Fighters 'cos they're freaking awesome.

Lots of new stuff on the other blog, go check it out for movie, TV, music etc. reviews.

The other day some random robbed a house at gunpoint a few houses away from me. Now my mum's gone all anal about security. Yesterday night I had my blinds open and she runs in screaming: "Do you want to die!? Leaving the blinds open is inviting murderers in!" Seriously I would not be scared of some crackhead running into my house, I'm Asian, I know kung fu.

Went to school the other day and on the way back some random Asians in a white van asked me if I wanted to buy a 3D TV or a sound system. Their story was that they had too many 'at the warehouse' and needed to get rid of a few. Most suspicious bullshit I have ever heard. I would not be too surprised if these were the guys who robbed the house.

I love how London is hosting the Olympics in 11 months, but half the city is in flames due to rioting, they are so screwed. News out a few days ago that prisoners are being transported to other cities due to overcrowding in the prisons. If the government had just given them a stimulus package this wouldn't have happened.

Recently started watching Hajime no Ippo which is a boxing based anime. Previously I believed it was overrated, but it is quite enjoyable despite the weird animation style and quality. Baka to Test also seems good, but yet to get very far into it.

Exams, bludging, boobs

So the exam week has started and by the sounds of things everything has started off all right. Today was Maths and Ext 2 Maths which meant it was probably the most important day of the exam weeks. I reckon I did rather well considering my almost total lack of preparation, but I did manage to prove 2=0 and that a young boy runs faster than a bus. Some mistakes were obviously made.

Last night it was maths cramming, so to help myself get into 'the zone', I played some good ol' Team Fortress 2. I've finally learnt to play combat medic and got a 12 kill streak. Some of the people were just stunned when they saw me running at them and died due to the element of surprise. Unfortunately I later died to the element of fire, which unsurprisingly overpowers the element of surprise. I also got an 11 kill streak today as sniper using flick shots. Some of the flukiest headshots in gaming history were made.

Lastly I'd just like to say I was touching lots of boob this afternoon. So squishy.
