Supskies!

Welp, guess keeping a blog is really alot more difficult than I imagined. Hopefully I can redeem myself with this super duper mega awesome post.

Some updates, got a part time job working thur/fri 9-3. Pretty easy job, not really that challenging but pocket money is always good.

Uni this semester is looking to be a bit more challenging than the past, quite a bit more workload especially with fail lecturers and not so great tutors :<. Should manage, as long as I start keeping up with it all now.

Applied for a few internship positions for the end of the year, nothing to spectacular yet. So yeh powering ahead with a semi decent routine and having a blast catching up with friends/meeting new people whilst I'm at it :D!

Movies Seen

District 9 - 8.5/10
GI Joe: Rise of Cobra - 7/10
The Ugly Truth - 6.5/10
Red Cliff - 8/10

Movies I want to see
Inglorius Bastards
The taking of Pelham 123
Public Enemies

Books I've Read
The Way of Shadows - Night Angel Trilogy - Brent Weeks ~ 7.5/10

And for absolutely no reason I shall leave you with a greatness quote

To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them. ~ Charles de Montesquieu

Hiatus!

Awesome word hiatus, perfect word to describe what has happened to my blogging. Well as an update, I'm currently on unibreak till the end of July which is quite awesome imo. Though I haven't got much planned yet will probably see a lot of movies and try to attend a bunch of parties whilst reading some inspirational books.

One book I've recently read was The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbably (by Nassim Nicholas Taleb), it was quite an interesting read and the first semi-philosophical book I've read in awhile. It explores the idea of random events and how they impact us humans. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a thought provoking book :D!

Anyway off to lunch now toodles~

Today!

Fantastic day, caught up with a high school mate of mine Pat who I haven't seen for ages due to him being in "appear offline mode" and e-stalking people (HAH NOW EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR SECRET!), went to the usual movie/lunch + random.

miniMovie Review - The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas
Having been misled by Pat that this movie would have bundles of action and Daniel Craig, I entered the cinema totally expecting a Nazi-Germany film with muchos action and of course lots of Daniel Craig (ie. Defiance). To my initial disappointment, it was not the case and it was in fact a movie devoid of almost any action/fight sequences or scenes.
Fortunately, it did turn out to be quite an awesome movie with good acting overall by all involved, and quite an interesting storyline. However the movie was somewhat tainted by the abundance of English accents.
4/5 Highly recommended watch!


^ Ended up at Norita's and for you unasianified people out there, it's pretty much as it's described, a cafe where you can also play board-games. It's one of the most awesomest place to hang out with friends if you have a thing for board games :D.

We ended up playing UNO, and not suprisingly both of us had forgotten the rules to the game and we played a semi ad-hoc style of uno which just didn't feel right >_>. So moving right along, we decided to try something we both actually know how to play and that lead to the great game we all know as JENGA!

Our masterpiece D<


^normal pat! vs demonic FULL FOCUSED evil pat



^smooooooooooooth!


^our tower of terror! this was the last pic taken, and pat lost right after this picture and thus I am crowned Jenga king!

Had a great time at Norita's would consider going again :D.


Word of the day: Numismatist - money/coin collector!

Showtime!

Awesome weather today for the easter show, I haven't actually been there since high school but it was pretty good fun :D. The whole atmosphere was very carnival like at times, mixed in with a taste of the rural/country culture of Australia.

Had some tasty waffles, compliments of the wafflehouse. I had the chocolate it was suprisingly better than I expected from the showgrounds.


Saw some sword juggling on a unicycle at the Psycho Sideshow, it was actually one of the most popular events.

Will update later with more pics :>
