hahahaha I'm in the library right now, someone bent over to pick up a book and farted and tried to cover it up with coughing. Oh well, he's old, he has an excuse... Lucky bastard. Maybe when I'm old, my self esteem will be high enough so that when I have a display of public flatulence I won't even need to cover it up. The new Tekken is out so I've been playing quite a lot lately. Surprised? Thought so. It's a decent way to spend some free time and get out of the house so that I can change of scene for playing games. Why the fuck would you smoke, take up a healthy addiction; like TEKKEN!

Well, I'm back, and not so lovin' it. As you probably would have guessed, nothing much is happening here at home. It's been a bit more than a month since we came back and I've been working pseudo-fulltime at Mannacom. I guess it's good that I'm earning money to pay off my holidebt.
Working at Mannacom is.... consistent... to say the least. I'm there for at least 4 days a week from 8am until either 1, 3 or 4pm. 1pm if I'm feeling lazy, 3pm if I need more money and 4pm to make up for the 1pm's I did. If anything, the thing I enjoy the most about working at Mannacom is that it gives me time to have some alone time to reflect on stuff or just to veg out and listen to podcasts and the same music over and over and over and over.
When I'm vegged out, I prefer not to be un-vegged. Call me socially retarded or whatever, but sometimes, you're just having a shitty day and you don't want to say hi, or talk, or even listen to what other people have to say. The downside of drowning your shitty day in music and podcasts is that your ears start getting sore from listening for too long. People at work see it as a window of opportunity to strike up a conversation.
Don't get me wrong, it's OK if it's just a "How was your weekend?", because I can always answer with a "Not bad, I stayed home and slept.", thus eliminating any sort of chance to continue the conversation. The only disadvantage is that you get the gut feeling of being a jackass, because it doesn't just END, it just steers into an awkward silence.... at which point, I pretend to go to the toilet and stay there for 20 seconds (because you don't want people to know that you are faking. Don't stay more than 20 seconds, because you also don't want people to 'know' that you are taking a dump. Of course, I come back to the work bench with my iPod on.
Maybe I have low self esteem, or MAYBE I just have low esteem for others.
I guess one of my biggest problems is being too content with what I have. I don't need new friends, I have some already.
Speaking of smoking and Tekken, I miss Japanese arcades. More specifically, I miss Japan.
I will do a post about Japan next.
Bye for now!

5 days left until I leave for Hong Kong. I won't be blogging here much. Instead, I'll be blogging at the group blog. So, please check it out! -> Scrubs at Life

This was actually an entry I did before my blog broke. So, contents is objectionable.
Most of us (fuck you if you're not) are suffering from Uni finals stress. There's nothing much keeping me going right now, only that I'm Asia bound after all of this bullshit. I can't imagine the low I'm going to be feeling when I get back. Maybe I should conveniently lose my passport, get contact lenses, dye my hair, buy new clothes, learn the language and become an illegal immigrant in Japan.
With that said, traveling to a cool place is always like that. You get there, enjoy the shit out of it, stay there for a bit too long and then start missing home. When you arrive home, you rush up to your room and then dive into your starchy-haven't-been-slept-on-for-ages bed. Your bed welcomes you home and you feel warm and fuzzy inside because you're finally home.
I'll be keeping a separate vacation blog with my friends, so go and check it out please! *LINK*

I changed to the new layout after my old one just decided to self destruct. I had another layout in the works, but decided to go with this one because the other one was kind of "inappropriate". It seems like some of the old posts have wonky formatting, but who cares, no one will be rereading them anyway.
So here we go! Welcome back. Here's something a lot (not many) have been looking forward to. The 2003 Senior video. The idiots at Grammar charged me money but never gave me my copy, so here is a copy of the video that I was lucky enough to borrow off Julian. Enjoy
Haha, my hair = awesome

It seems like I've reached maximum procrastination. Bye!
It's actually unknown whether Linh will be there or not, so Hayato might have a different pose in the real photo

This is about the time when blogging really sucks. When nothing significant enough to blog about happens in your life, you know that you're living one boring boring life.
Blogging (in my case) is like writing a book that you know that no one's going to read. I guess that comes with a lot of advantages though. It's okay to pour your soul into your blog entries and not have to worry about people reading it and thinking you're weird.... Not that my blogs have ever been too deep and meaningful anyway.
Ack, blogger's block. You know, it's really hard to blog when you're not in a relationship, because you can't type up shallow bullshit like, "ps i lub ya". Not that I did that shit too often anyway. /me is proud
I was walking around uni today and discovered a building that I hadn't even seen before. Haha, you know that you haven't been at uni enough when you start discovering new buildings after so many years at the same campus.
Anyway, what's been up. Absolutely nothing (much). As usual, I'm at uni and up to the same old. I'm currently in the last week of uni and I'm using up my download quota, downloading episodes of shows that I don't even watch. There's about 10 dollars worth of download left, and seeing as Griffith is ALWAYS so vague about everything, I don't know how many MB/GB that is equal to, so I'll just go all out and download an entire season of 30 Rock. I'm Asian, afterall. Maybe a bit Jewish too. In times like these, you don't want to waste a cent.
Speaking of wasting money, Quinton and I bought laptops! Originally, I was going to wait until I was in Hong Kong to buy one, but since the Australian dollar is in shambles, I figured I'd save money to buy it locally. We bought two MSI Wind u100s. (Quinton bought a black one and I bought a pink one. I mean white.)
The laptop should be very useful when we are overseas. I'll be uploading pictures and videos every day to document our adventures. We did our first video blog (or Vlog) last night, and it seems pretty fun. Hopefully we'll commit ourselves to doing it often enough that we have enough footage to do some kind of documentary at the end.
Going to Asia at the end of the year has finally started settling into my mind. Though, it doesn't help that our trip is getting more and more expensive by the day. I guess I'll just be spending my money on clothes and a few cheap electronics. I need to upgrade my wardrobe; 1) because clothes are cheaper and better in Asia, and 2) so Clara can stop ragging me, 3) because I'm a closet metrosexual (Just kidding. No metro).
Japan, will be good. We've got almost 20 days there. That's more than enough to do all the toursity stuff, with many days left over to just soak in the Japan. Still not 100% sure about what we're going to do there. Maybe I'll post up a potential list later on.
Hong Kong is going to be piss easy for us. We're living in Mong Kok, Langham Place etc as almost at our door step. The only problem is that some JACKASS that is going on this trip with us is living on the other island. Too bad Puff, looks like you won't be saving much money afterall because you'll be using the MTR EVERY DAY!!!! HAHAHA YOU LOSE!
Go Obama!

Back to school. Something that we've all be dreading. Actually, Puff managed to make my brother ALMOST cry last night by saying "YOU'VE GOT SCHOOL TOMORROW" repeatedly. Good work man!
I can see the final rush coming, I'm really not sure if I'll be able to cope this time. All that I can see is the trip to Asia at the end of all of this.
1) Procrastinate
2) ???
3) Profit
My blog has almost officially died, and I'm wondering whether or not I should renew the domain in December. Things should pick up by then anyway, I have a habit of blogging when I'm supposed to be doing work (like now). Apparently, I have a 10% workshop in about half an hour, and seeing as I haven't been paying attention to announcements on the Griffith Portal, I have no bloody idea what to expect. It's ok, you're looking at a Grammar Man! I can BS my way out of anything!
Speaking of Grammar, there's heaps of talk about reunions and retirement dinners. Screw that hey! All I have to show for my life so far is a fair bit of medical knowledge and some mediocre Tekken skills, and I highly doubt there will be a medical crisis or a Tekken machine there. I don't think I really care what people would think of me, it's more that I don't care enough to see people I didn't even know 5 years ago in a lousy attempt to mingle in superficial small talk. I've been through it all, grade 12 formal, validictory dinner and random weddings when someone you've vaguely seen a few times comes up to you and pretends to know you. Eg Dr Lennox at Julian's (RIP) funeral.
It's a bit early for new years resolutions, but next year, I would like to tone down my swearing and to learn Chinese and Japanese. The swearing is mainly for my brother, because I don't want him to become the pottiest of potty mouths when he grows up. Chinese because I'm ashamed that I can't read. Japanese because I like Japanese culture and stuff.
So long dental plan. Lisa needs braces.
PS. I also plan to start a podcast of some sort.
EDIT
Ok when I say "tone down" swearing, I meant stop using the C word and replacing "Fuck" with something. Of course, there are times where the use of "Fuck" is still neccesary, like when you hit your thumb with a hammer, or when you lose to Puff in Tekken.
