CNYE!

As some of you guys know, I do some Shaolin. No, I do not want to fight you.

Anyway, there are performances on CNYE (Chinese New Years Eve for you slow people) and since I've been told to, I will be shamelessly advertising.

So, come and enjoy the show! It's at the Bonnyrigg Temple during CNYE at 9:00 P.M - 1:00 A.M (approx.) and there will be lion dancing, set performances and even that funny fat dude guy thing emu. For Buddhist people, you can come to wish for good health, luck-filled year and lots of lucky money :D

I think they are also going to hand out some lucky money, but it's going to be around 20c because we're all asian. ^_^

Oh, and there's fire crackers.

School in a week!

O hai!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately, it's just that there's been nothing to blog about. I'm just gaming 24/7 now with my dota buddies :D

So I went to buy my books for school yesterday at Westfieldz, when I realised that I might not even need them. After 2 years with the laptops, nobody still knows what to do with them except for secretly playing games/watching movies/not work stuff in class.

Also, got my uniform a few days ago and I hope I never have to look like an asian Steve Irwin ever again.

You should have learnt this in high school!

Maybe this is just me, but I have to do all the sort of important stuff in my family, such as making phone calls to Optus, filling out forms and all that. That's all very fine, I guess, since I probably know the most english in my entire family.

But once in a while, my parents tell me to do something harder, such as writing a resume. Yes, I know the e has the apostrophe thing, I just don't know how to do it :(. Anyway, that is REALLY hard, since I've never made a resume before. It kinda pisses me off when they say,

"You're in Year 10 (Year 11 soon!), you should have already learnt how to do this. We ask you to do something simple and you won't even do it?"

Has anyone ever learnt how to write a resume during school? I've learnt essays, short stories, reports and descriptions and all the others, but I don't remember EVER learning how to write a resume. Which I think is a serious flaw in my education, since almost everyone will need to write a resume somewhere in the future when they apply for a job.

Pictures!

I can't think of anything to post, so I'll just put up a few GIFs that might appeal to people :D




For anime lovers!




Love how he laughs at the end,


Epic prank is epic.

Stretch your teeth!

As we all know, I has braces. The metal thingies that go on your teeth. Well, every month or so, I have a dreaded dentist appointment that makes them even tighter, which in turn makes it hurt for several days, which means I can only eat porridge. And everybody knows how much I like food :(

Upside of braces:

- After the 1-2 year period, you get normal looking teeth!

That's it.

Downside of braces:

- When you first get them, THEY HURT LIKE SHIT. 2 weeks of porridge, before moving on to instant noodles. This has happened to everyone I know who has gotten braces EXCEPT for Colin, who seems to have magical teeth that repel pain.

- Like I said, dentist appointments every month or so. Tightened braces = no proper food.

- Any food you eat WILL get stuck in your braces. Especially toffee.

- You have to get used to the nickname 'Train tracks'.

- Brushing your teeth is a pain in the ass.

- Sometimes, sharp bits poke out and scratch your mouth, which results in painful ulcers.

- You have to wear a retainer after you've finished with braces.

As you can see, a lot more cons than pros, but at least I'll look good when I get them off!

...right?

Older? Younger? Only?


I've always wonder what it would be like to be an only child, or be an older brother. From what I know from asking, being an only child means you get spoilt silly because the money doesn't have to be shared between 2+ children. You only have to worry about yourself and do what your parents ask you to do.

On the other hand, being an older sibling seems to mean to have an annoying, little snot of a brother/sister that you have to take care of whenever the folks aren't home. You get most of the good stuff because you're the older one, but you have to (sometimes) share it with your annoying brother/sister.

That's what I hear from others, anyway. Is it really that bad?

From a younger sibling's perspective, all I can say is that having an older brother doesn't really affect me, except for that time he came to the school and all the girls wanted to see a picture of him. There isn't really a downside to having an older sibling, and the only upside is.... I get driven to places? :D

Buzz, prick, itch and annoy!

I'm gonna do a Simon C. and do a bit of a rant.

Question: WHY DO MOSQUITOS EXIST?

They are of no use to anyone/thing/other. A cow can be useful for eating, milking or riding. The grass a cow eats is useful for feeding cows, or goats, or vegetarians.

But how is a mosquito useful? What do they achieve by biting you and making you itch? Sure, they take your blood to reproduce. But for what? To bite us again, that's what!

And yes, I did get bitten by a mosquito.

OMG! A BLOG!

GREETINGS EMUS!

This will be my first ever post on a blog, and my first ever blog and the word 'GREETINGS' was the first word I ever typed for a post for a blog. If you're still reading this, it means you're genuinely interested, and want to keep reading! (Which is good.)

Perhaps you will be wondering what this blog will be about. The answer is that I don't know. It will be full of random stuff from snippets of my life (like that time a bird pooped on my head) to images and videos that I find. It can range from Indians to unicorns. From Jacky Chan to emus. From Justin Beiber to... to... you get the point.

Hope you enjoy the blog! :D
