Ralphie's Culinary Adventures

thats what this blog should be titled; cos everytime i write in here i end up talking about food. which then makes Murdoc hungry.
so Chris, better get some chips and dip cos there's gna be alot of food in this entry.

what are you gna do? food is pretty much a central part of my life.

anyway, today's classes were boring; 3d not so much i got some stuff done and it looks pretty good - i might post up a pic in my next entry.

ate a lamb kebab for lunch; i actually felt kinda full before ordering (cos i ate rice and porkchops for breakfast) so i was a tad hesitant... i ordered it anyway i finished it and i was really full afterwards.

multimedia was boring as; fell asleep.

i went to the arts store and got a new sketch book; and headed home.
got home and played TF2 >:D

threw down some Pwnage.

afterwards; i decided to do some assignments. so i took some pictures of the stuff that i needed to animate and transferred them on my pocket drive.
then i was bored, i heared my sister doing something in the kitchen, went and saw she was cooking french toast.
so after she was done; i made myself some french toast. with lots of butter.

my sis then had teh great idea of making rice balls; she doesnt know how to make them exactly, she was just "mucking around". who messes around with food?

she had to eat what she made anyway so i was ok with that.
i washed all the dishes (sigh) and i thought I could make some rice balls; so i surfed up the recipe and quickly made some with the leftover rice.

here's one of em


so yeah and that's pretty much it until now. btw cant wait till the next ep of heroes; 1 - 1.5 sleeps left for me!

awesomes;
ttyl

Expectations

Here's the thing; i like to help people out. i'm a pretty generous person.
may it be giving someone a bit of my food or some change if i'm able to spare some.

usually i just help with my abilities; in the tech area that is.

if a family member gains knowledge of the fact that you're able to do something they cant or that they can do but you can do it better; 100% for sure they'll ask you to do it.
its the same thing with friends.

the thing is; i have an inability to say no.

so when this person from our church asked me if i could record her wedding for her, for $150, i naturally said yes.
but i didnt think about my transportation and what camera i'm gonna use.
i asked my friend Dave (who worked in the church and where i help out) if i could borrow the Sony HDV camera. he said yes.

then upon informing dad what i was asked to do - he cracked it.

"Who's camera are you gonna use"
"the church's? who asked to use it?"
"you? what the hell were you thinking?"
"what if you lost it?"
(yeah like i'd lose a HUGE SILVER CASE with a $1000+ camera in it and a 2 Meter long Tripod)
"do you know how much it cost?"
"what about insurance issues?"

and it went on.

to be honest; he was right on some points. but then he got personal.

"you always do stuff for your friends, they ask you something, boom you're there."
"but whenever i ask you to do something, you never do it."
"that time i asked you to edit that video in Kyabram (some farm place), where is it?"
"what about that slideshow that Ai-Hoon asked you to do, nothing - I had to do it!"

well i'm sorry, but maybe if i didnt have so many assignments and the fact that i didnt want to fail and waste $1000 of tuition fees just help out your friend's wedding, i would've been able to do it. but i did, and you had to do it.
and YOU had the nerve to think that i didnt want to do it; telling me that "you covered for me" what a crock.
You could've done it yourself and YOU HAVE. you've done so many bloody slideshows on our crap arse computer and it came out great. then why did you want me to do it?
COS YOU DIDNT WANT TO DO IT.

gah it's so frustrating. knowing you might and even will disappoint so many people just to please a couple.
but who do you choose? other people or your family?

if you choose other people; your family thinks you're a selfish Git and ends up hating you. thus repelling them from asking you to do stuff for them and not trust you completely.

if you choose your family; the other people then think you dont care about them and what's important to them - thus repelling them from asking you any favors/jobs.

this sucks. if i didnt have so many assignments; i wouldve been able to do these things easy. but no one's going to hire someone with out any qualifications - and i'm no Genius Artist.

a little frustrated

so yeah - i got a bit hectic today (fri)

i got up at 8 and went back to sleep - woke up at around 11; and forgot i had to go to church to film and edit the news. i quickly got all my stuff together, showered, ate and left. i was at the train station when i realised:

I forgot my Laptop's power Adaptor

i went and checked the battery percentage

60%

CRAP!

i got to the city and the tram lines were blocked cos a couple of Hours ago there was a parade for the AFL grand finals (Go Geelong)
so i had to go to the next stop ahead and catch THAT tram.
i got to church eventually, and started filming.
i captured the footage on a separate computer (saves me some battery time) and loaded it up on my HDD

I edited like the WIND.
LIKE THE FREAKING WIND

i finished and exported at 10-13% i went and checked the footage and my screen dies.
i panicked abit and tried to restore my desktop.
it went back and i ejected my HDD successfully.

loaded up the video on the laptop we were gonna use for the projector.
and fixed up the sound desk.

the night went well and i took the train home; thankfully not overshooting my station again. (by then it was around 11pm)
called up Terry who called me during youth and asked if i wanted to go out with them.
i said yeah but after youth finishes.

no one answered
i called nithun - he picks up.
and they're all drunk

Dammit now i dont have a way there or back home.
so yeah i'm a bit pissed at the fact that the guys didnt even think/remember that i wanted to hang out with them.
and to rub salt on my emotional wounds (how emo am i) i live pretty far from their house... and i dont drive (omg weak sauce).

so yeah.
i wanna drive
either that or ride a motorcycle.

short update

so yeah - havnt blogged/vlogged/tweeted for a while now. been pretty preoccupied.

sat to sunday i was at church doing video mixing for the services.
at the last service 6pm on the sunday i screwed up - pressed the wrong button and made the screen bright pink - i quickly fixed it tho. :S

anyhoo; today was tiring as crap. 3d was the same old stuff; learned how to put realistic textures on our 3d models and how to do some 3d mapping.
after that the class had to sit through this boring presentation from some chick that wants us to do some flash thing for her.

i fell asleep many times.

we went out for a break; at sushi and went back to our interactive multimedia class.
i learned how to go to diff. pages in a flash file through ActionScript 3... i guess that's useful.

went home - but before that; i stopped by Games World and i bought:

KILLER BUNNIES!

yeah i'm a sheep; sue me.

but it really is a great game; played my sister and i won the 1st game cos she didnt have any bunnies alive at the end and i also had the magic carrot.
but second game; although i had most of the carrots - my sis won cos SHE got the magic carrot.

guess that's how the game goes.

we went to eat at a chinese restaurant; it was ok - could be better but i did get full. so it was worth it. the szechuan Beef that i ordered wasnt even THAT spicy! and they called szechuan... LIES.


On another topic:

i'm back on Youtube and Facebook! so expect some major activity in those sites on my part. hopefully on wed i'll get some recording done and upload it ASAP.

it's now 1:12am and i gotta sleep or i'll be hella tired again tomorrow morning. =_=

Finally!

finished all my assignments! booyah!
i am now free from busyness... at least until the next batch of assignments comes in.

so yesterday i watched "stepbrothers" it was the premiere here in aus (no fancy openings - unlike the Mummy 3; when brendan fraser actually came by... damn shoulda went).

it's Hilarious! Will Ferrel's done it again. i know some of his movies were either crap or Fantastic; this one was one of his better ones.
The storyline itself is pretty normal but it's the dialogue and some of the random events that get you. If you cant help but Quote lines or re-enact from a movie and laugh or go "that bit was awesome..."; that movie was good.

so in all of our classes yesterday, we just worked on the things that were due that day and or the next day.
i finalised my walkcycle - as jittery as it is.
also done with my design animation
and my game (which i finished at 3am this morning) is now complete!

oh and these are some of the things i submitted during this past couple of weeks, so when i blog about getting a crap ass score or failing; you'll know why.



so this was my 2dimaging Assignment; we had to make and animate an 8-bit character.



this was my pencil test for my character's Walk cycle... i need to change the upper body motion.

so yeah... enjoy?

it was pretty good

so its the week getting back after 1 week of holidays and another week of classes but no lessons...

in 3d - i worked on my CornPopper Toy... it's looking pretty good.

Interactive media - i worked on my friends game :P didnt even touch mine... i really should start being selfish.

i ate some pretty good sushi for lunch and after class my friends and i went out to eat at a nearby Korean restaurant.

i got a large order of pan fried dumplings (which were piping hot btw - nearly burnt my tongue) and a glass of banana and mango juice.
Nick got steamed dumplings; he got more than me... although mine were bigger though.
we ended up sharing.

every now and then i'd look up and watch the tv screens; they were showing some Korean Song Countdown but they had the actual performers singing their hits. it was cool - too bad i missed Hyori Lee's performance. TT_TT

afterwards i wanted to go stop by this British store which sold products from the UK; my mission was to get some more Percy Pigs. i couldnt find any - i asked the attendant; "do you have any more Percy Pigs?"
He replied "nah, sorry mate; we dont sell them anymore - we got some round the back but they've gone past their best before."
"oh, ok... when will you order some more in?"
"probably never - nobody buys them anyway"

I was SHOCKED, Taken Aback, stunned so to speak.

Nobody buys them? who in their right mind would not buy percy pigs? They're like freakin Manna from the heavens! but only more chewy and pig shaped.

so i just got the next best thing - a pound of twizzlers! for 6 bucks!

i dunno if that's cheap though. its now in a slightly air tight container in my room - so whenever i feel like a pick me up; munch on a twizzler.

Btw - i got asked to go to 2 weddings in the course of 3 days.

1st wedding to go to is my friend Phil's Wedding; he's only 1 year or so older than me!
makes me feel a bit left out :(

2 wedding is of 2 people in the young adults group at church - i dunno how but somehow someone told them (i have my suspicions) that i can do videography - so yeah; now i'm taking videos of the whole procession (1 hour) and i'm gonna be editing it to a 5 min clip. best part of that; i was getting paid! yay for income! and i'll probably get some cake too :D

anyway; i guess i've had my fair share of disappointments and blessings these couple of days. sure would hope for the blessings to keep rolling in... preferably in the form of Money :)

Pretty Good Sunday

so it's sunday.

i got in the car and went to church. during the service like it was on cue i fell asleep (only for like a min) during the sermon; i'd fall in and out of conciousness :P

after church i had to stay back which was fine; cos i got to hang out with my friend Jei.
He's cool as; so yeah, we went to McDonalds and got some food.

cool thing was we got our burgers $2 less than what it should have. lemme explain:

McD has a burger - "Double beef and bacon" which costs $4.95 which is pretty much a double beef patty, cheese and a rasher of bacon.

yes; my mouth is watering as we speak.

that aside, i was told by a friend of mine that McD's has a similar Burger that's cheaper called the "Double beef and cheese" same as above just no bacon. for just $1.95
Bacon's only $1 to add.

so do the math.

so we got the "double beef cheese w/ bacon" and an Apple Pie... all for only $3.95!
oh the value!

so Jei and I had our small feast and afterwards we walked back to church where they had practice goin on.

Practice was so much fun - even though i wasnt part of it; i picked up a mic anyway and sang along. i was awesome :P
after the practice Jei and i just jammed. he played guitar and i sang, we sang "I'm yours" and "Save tonight".

afterwards; Matt, Bec, Jei, his Brother Gabe and i went out for a pizza - Matt, Bec and Gabe ate, Jei and I played MAME... i brought down the Pwnage. i really did.
Matt and Bec went home (did i mention they were siblings?), Jei and Gabe did aswell, and i started to walk to the KFC where my parents were waiting.

but yeah; we stayed in that area for a while until we finally had to go home - just as i was going to go on the swings... DAMN.



at home i recharged my Lappy and just chilled and i heard the news that we were going to a Korean Restaurant. Yay!

We got to the restaurant and we ordered Korean BBQ (beef, Spicy Pork and Beef spare ribs), Kim-chi, Bok Kae (sp?), Corn Tea (which was pretty good) and fried Dumplings.
I got really full. we went out - impressed the owner by speaking in Korean (lol) and proceeded to make our way to the car.










We stopped to get some coffee and i got some TimTam Cake! it was AWESOME!




we then headed home, but at the parking lot-place-thing, there was a public toilet - but it was fully automated. once you left the cubicle and the doors shut, the WHOLE toilet is cleaned. from Bowl to Floor.

Trippy

so yeah i eventually got home and now i'm doing this!
NEAT!

so yeah, hope you guys have a great Week.
i'll try to enjoy mine.

now's not the time to panic

BUT ITS THE PERFECT TIME TO PANIC!

well yes and no.

i need someone to slap me.
no not really; i know most of you are already getting you plane tickets or possibly on your way to my house already but no... that was a joke.

only garbo can slap me... but only if she has a damn good reason. or maybe ollie... :P

oddness aside - i screwed up.
i forgot that my video assignement was due on friday - yeah the one that just past.
i mean; i'm pretty much done with everything - its just that i was thinking about it the other day - the friday it was due; and asking myself when it was going to BE due....

i'm such a dumbass

also the lecuturer springs us the point that we have to have "non copyrighted music".

crap - how am i supposed to get a non copyrighted version of "smells like teen spirit"?
so this morning - more like afternoon; i locked myself in my parent's room, soundproofed it so no sound can get inside, got one of the Karaoke mics ("one of the"? yeah we have more than one), my acoustic guitar and opened up Garage band.

i looked for some drum loops that might resemble the beat in the actual song; i did. i hooked up the Mic and got the guitar, got the chords for the song and pressed record.

it sounded like crap. but i had no time for timbaland refinements.
i then got the Mic and recorded my singing voice :S

in the end; i put it all together and it sounded pretty listenable.
so i put it in the timeline of my AfterEffects file. i did some small tweaking and rendered out to see how it was - synching and the animation itself.
it was alright but the criteria stated for it to be compressed using another type - not the usual quicktime one. so i clicked on the new compressor and an error thinie popped up.

There isnt any writer for this compressor... yadda yadda

you cant be serious - i cant even publish this so i can submit it?! this is ARSE.

so i just tried to export using another compressor - just to see if it was all working.
it was; but there was one thing missing. the grunge overlay (to make it look like an old movie)

so i saved it and got the layer which had the overlay and moved it above the camera.
but once i clicked out - all hell broke loose. well just one thing happened.

IT FROZE.

the freaking program froze - i couldnt do anything; i could click and open up the other windows that i had open but AfterEffects wasnt responding.
WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME WINDOWS?!?!
after many failed tries; i just gave up.

so i just got my pencil and started to draw some storyboards for the animation. i know i was supposed to do it beforehand but i kinda did - but not in the form that's acceptible.

after i was done; i got back on the Mac and just "walked around" - so to speak - in the web. i found out that Ryan Terarc (superstar) was on blogTV so i joined and watched his playful antics and intelligent banter streaming live on my computer screen.
at that time; Steveninbay was also on BTV and i momentarily left the confines or Ryan's BlogTv to go stalk steven. I cohosted with him and he Ate his last TimTam on the show; he slammed it with Hot water... i told him to atleast do it with tea. anyway; he had to go and i went back, like a prodigal son, to ryan's channel.

Ryan did one of his patented Terarc Interviews on one his cohosts "Not_June". it was fun but i had this MASSIVE LAG.
he then asked me if *I* wanted to cohost with him - i said yeah sure ok and interviewed me.

when i say interviewed; i mean tried to converse through a MASSIVE LAG that debilitated Ryan's ability to hear me good enough to know what i was saying and on top of that; know when i stopped talking.

so in ryan's words; "EPIC FAIL" *does hand motion*

so he eventually said goodbye and i was again left to roam the internets...

nothing much happened; i ended up downloading more MAME roms and eventually got Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs Capcom to work.

oh and also i watched the "Awesome Series" in newgrounds... omgosh EgoRaptor is a FUNNY GUY.

so yeah; i played some MAME, mortal kombat3, metal slug, etc.

Terry called and i talked to him for a bit; somehow our conversations lately revolve around hot girls. he then consequently keeps sending me pictures of girls he "meets" on Facebook. good for you Tez.

so it's 2:27am on a sunday - in around 5-6 hours im supposed to wake up and be getting ready for church. i think all this skyping has made me adjust to either the UK time zone - cos seriously; i woke up at around... 2 ish - that's 5am in Wales. right now it's 5:30pm there; i could probably be able to stay up till around 8 which is about 11pm Brit. Time.

wow... that's sad ralph.

anyway; i gotta get going - i dont want to end up falling asleep during the sermon.

Peace and my regards to your mother.

:D

Blessed

i've been reading a couple of blogs lately and it seems alot of people have had some sort of event that change their outlook on life or just made them feel angry / happy. but in the end they make some sort of discovery about their life and themselves.

and i think its through these blog that I myself have come to my own discovery.

--------------

Normally i don't talk about being a Christian to others openly; only when i get asked a certain question that involves me in doing so.

over these past couple of months i've been challenged to be more outgoing with my faith; not so much the whole knocking on doors in inappropriate times kind of thing but kind of openly saying; "Hey; sup. i'm a Christian and i love God"
and on top of that i've been challenged to spend more time with God.

i find myself veering away from the crooked and narrow (it's NEVER straight and narrow - trust me) and tending to go to the wider, straighter and much comfortable Worldly Road. i tend to succumb to the worldly charms; Drinking amongst other things...

the thing is; Drinking isnt bad... but Getting Drunk; that's a whole another thing.
Drinking alcohol GETS you drunk so it's better off not to drink. even if your Oh so confident that your "Never get Drunk"; you're human - you get drunk.
i was just informed that i might have this thing where i dont have enough enzymes in my stomach to process alcohol (either that or i'm just a complete lightweight) - so if i even drink like a bottle of beer; i go red immediately and i start to get headaches and stuff - worse come to worse; i feel sleepy and end up vomiting soon after.

not a pretty sight i gotta tell ya.

so i try to steer away from drinking really. But being the weak willed idiot that i am - i get pulled in by peer pressure. *headpalm*

My relationship with God has been a roller-coaster ride. i'd be unbelievably passive one time, then a youth camp / youth conference comes up and i'm all high and all Godly and whatnot then a few months pass and i'm back in the slump.

one time i was in a huge 2 year slump - i think i probably backslid or something. i was living a double life; i'd be swearing and doing all this stuff at school then at home i was the Kid sent from above.

i thank my parents for putting me in a Christian School rather than stayin in the Public one. For one - i wouldnt have to wake up at 5:30 everyday just to get to class 10 mins late. but by putting me in the Christian School; i kinda was in a relationship plateu with God. like, i wasnt the bad boy that came from the public school anymore - i was more like the meek kid from the public school who somehow survived hell.

but as the years went by i didnt see myself going anywhere with God. sure; i'd go to youth and church every week, id play in the band, sacrifice time and money to go to christian events and stuff...
but i felt like it was just for show. many of my christian friends didnt come from a christian family; they made the personal decision to follow Christ. now i'm not saying i didnt do that; i made the personal decision to follow God but not because i had a huge revelation and experience of how God loves me SO MUCH; but more like i knew that God loved me through other people and i took their word for it.

kinda makes me feel inadequate yknow.

I feel like that they (Christian - non christian Background) have come to a more personal relationship with God cos they had no idea who God was and then BAM here he is; all his glory and infinite love waiting for you to come to Him. it seems like they experience God on a much deeper level than I do; just cause they know the experience and i just know the Theory and the bible smarts.

i feel like that i dont get the "full Christian effect" that some people have; but the thing is - it's not God's fault. it's mine. i dont act upon it and try to get closer to God. i mean i go to prayer meetings and i praise God but it's all in the confines of the church. i barely do that at home; i only pray to God when i need something - mostly forgiveness - but never just to talk to Him. i never seem to give God time, i'm always doing something; either procrastinating on Youtube and Facebook or just working on assignments in general - i've never stopped and sat down, read the bible, talked to God and think about what he's told me.

i feel like i havnt done a thing for Him when i know for a FACT that God has done SO MUCH STUFF for me.

he healed me from bronchitis when i was a baby;
he provided me with great parents (although frustrating at times)
given me great friends; christian and non, real life and internet ones (whom i will meet soon) - i love you guys
given me the most wonderful girl ever to walk the face of the earth :P lol you know who u are - love ya
and just putting up with and forgiving me for all the screw ups that i've done in these 19 years that i've been around.
and so much more that i might have not known or remembered.

ive been so blessed but i've never seemed to return the affection. i feel so inadequate knowing that other people are so into God that everything else is just an addition prize to what God has to really offer.
i know i can do much better - i'm trying; i really am but these past couple of months i havnt had that push to reach and grasp God's hand; i dont want some catastrophe or some major dilemma to hit me for me to reach to God, but the thing is - God's kind of done that. He's used other people's experiences to teach me these things. to help me realize what i'm missing. because some of the people who have experience these troubles have either come to God or tried to do it themselves; and the latter seldom works - even if it did, not very well.

it all comes down to spending time with God - that's all i've been missing; i know His word but i can always learn more. i know his love but i can always experience it further cos i know that there's no limit.

I've GOT to spend more time with God; even if it's a quick minute, read a verse, pray - i think my relationship with Him will be all the more sweeter in the long run.

lol sorry if i've just yammered on about all this God stuff; but i felt like writing it down. yknow - show you guys my faith and all.

Thanks to all the bloggers that have inspired me to become a better Christian even though some of you arent even christians yourselves. i'm not gonna name any names :P

love you all and God bless.

Blechhh

ok; just letting you guys know that i barely go to school as it is.

i have 3 days a week of classes.

sure each class might be 3 hrs each and they all start early in the morning and end up at 3:30pm - 6:30pm (depending on the day)

but that doesnt help the fact that i go to school only 3x a week.

then why the hell am i complaining? is this good?

yeah it is;
but it turns sour when you have to wake up early in the morning only to find that there's barely any of your class in the room - and the teacher's either decided to not come in for the day or just hang in the staff room (where you can conveniently call upon him if ever you should need his assistance).

it pretty much happened today - and i'm pretty sure it's going to happen on Thursday.

i got to class today thinking i was already late but when i knocked on the door - i was greeted - by 2 people.
a couple of minutes later 2 of my friends arrived. thank God; some one to talk to.
and then i remembered Web IM.

i need to kiss the guy/girl/people that made Web IM cos i'd be dead bored in class if it wasnt for him/her/them.

soon enough more and more people came in - even the teacher - but only for a bit and only to notify us that he'll be in the staff room, chillin with his homies.

i was practically finished with my video assignment... and it was only 10am.
was i was going to have to endure 6 more hours of this?

HELL NAW.

so i just busied myself with PurePwnage and updates on twitter every bloody minute.

ok i'm exaggerating, but that's beside the point. i was eventually bored and just started to meticulously tidy up the .PSD files that i used in my After Effects project.
a bit of Level Adjustments here, Alpha channel trimming there.
i also put in a grungy overlay so it looked like an old film; changed the background colour and exported it.

it looked pretty good. but not the best.

didnt end up going on a break cos the whole class was like a break.

after the class we decided to leave. normally there's a 30 min break between classes - for me it was quitting time.

i went and ordered a meatball sub from Subway - cos it's awesome - and got on the Cranbourne Train home; at the station i met one of my classmates and the whole train ride we talked about Comics and Super Hero Movies.

i had my sub just sitting on my lap; the steam condensed on the plastic bag that covered it. the girl that made it made a tear in the bread so when she eventually made the sub (footlong - ofcourse) it almost fell apart. Meatball sauce, combined with ranch dressing and honey mustard sauce seeped through the bread - making it soggy, which consequently making the paper around it soggy.

ew soggy sandwich paper...

sorry i deviated there for a sec.

while i was talking to my classmate i wanted to eat my sub; but i didnt want to seem rude, me eating this awesome sub and him, not having any.

but i went for it anyway. we both got off at Clayton Station and went on our separate ways. i got on the bus and went home.

i arrived home and no one was there - i took my bag off; slipped into my sweatpants and took a nap.

i got woken up by the alarm i set up; snoozed it and went back to sleep.
5 mins later my youth group called my - checking to see how the Video News was going - i said it was going well and i told them i'll just need the rest of the footage.

i got up (i already quite awake then) and just talked to people on skype; mainly steven.
he left i was alone again.
so i played WoW

leveled up 3 times in 2 hrs

by then my sister and brother were home already. my sister scolding me for not opening the door for her.
Screw that, she got her own key - she can open the door herself, i was busy doing a quest.

i eventually got sick of playing WoW and i started to surf the web a bit...
i also resumed my viewing of Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". great movie - even if it was B&W and got some fairly cheezy effects. funny thing was there was barely any blood around the bathtub or on the floor even though the girl was stabbed so many times.

those were the innocent days.

that aside i finished the movie and did some looking up in IMDB.
there's a Psycho 2,3, and 4! but i bet they were some pretty lousy sequels.

then i just decided to write on my blog cos i thought today might be worth writing about.

meh.

anyway; catch you all later.

oh and A Safe Trip to Nats (UK) cos she's going/gone to france today (tues).

Get Back into the Groove

ok; so my week off school's finished.

that means back to reality for me.

Dammit!

that means:

6:30 wake ups
Get home at around 5 pm
be exhausted and nap
find yourself waking up at 10pm
and not being able to go to sleep till 1am


it's a vicious cycle.

anywahoo, just wanted to update yall on some stuff.
like my current inability to stop whatever i'm doing and sleep cos it's 1:16 am and class starts again the next day.

and i still havnt figured out the ActionScripting for my fighting game.

If anyone out there knows Action Script 3 for Flash, Hit me up - i wanna pick your brain. My teacher's Useless...

anyway i gotta go now - i shoulda done this instead of WoW...


take care yall;
Peace

Why Ralph? Why?

Listening: My way Mix - Limp Bizkit

you would be saying "Wth" and asking numerous questions as you read this.

so anyway - that day that Nithun and Terry came by (thurs i think) nithun and terry decided to go to the mall.

so nithun could buy World of Warcraft (or as Garbo says it - War of the Worlds) Credit.

right now you'll be thinking "lol; Nerds - you guys play WoW"
and i'll tell you "shut up"

lol just kidding

the thing was we (and by we i mean Terry) have been persuading the guys - Chris, Nithun, Nico and to the lesser extent Billy - to play WoW since we started. but nowadays every invitation we give them, we follow up with a disclamer:

"YOU WILL GET ADDICTED"

so we eventually broke through to Nithun and he's now playing; the thing is - i'm not playing anymore (or in the present case - i wasnt)

well i'm not playing in the "Pay to Play" Servers; but instead in a Private server - where it's Free to play; so sadly i dont get to talk to terry in-game...

but anyway - because of Nithun buying WoW Credit; i got back on the horse... but like i said above - on the Free to Play Horse.

I started another character yesterday afternoon...
4 hours later i was lvl 16
i took a rest and ended up talking to Terry and Garbo till 6am.

oh and we (terry and i) got Garbo to play a bit of WoW too.
BTW; she's a total Noob... lol

i still love ya Garbs.

anywhoo i fell asleep as soon as every one left.
but had enough energy to tweet about it.

what an addict.

i woke up at 10am - my sister was yelling at the phone; but not angry yelling - that's how she talks.

i fell asleep again - but woke up at 12:30
i had to give the keys to our car to a family friend of ours - they use it during the weekends.

that time i was fully awake.

so i just played WoW.

i took a break at around 5:40pm to watch Steven on BlogTv

he's such a pretty boy, that guy.
and keeps getting asked if he was Gay... i mean cmon he's a hunk! who would confuse him for a gay guy?

anyway - he finished up his show; i washed the dishes.

and i got back onto WoW.

SAD

i got off at around 10 ish; at lvl 24.

and now i'm talking to Terry and Garbo.
and i'm hungry; i might go get some pizza.


Take care,
Peace

Out with the boys

so this morning i get up at 7:00... give or take a few minutes.
i was kind of annoyed

cos i put my alarm up at 7:30
Bloody hell.

anyway i decided to go on and see who's on skype; Garbo was online - might as well.

we talked for a bit and i keep falling asleep whenever she doesnt reply for about 3-5 mins.

it was 8am - i knew i had to get ready cos Nithun, Terry, Chris and I were going to be meeting up in the city and we were just going to do stuff - and i was still in bed.

i fell asleep again.

i woke up to the Phone Ringing - it was my aunt. dunno why she called; i was still half awake while i was talking to her. The call waiting chimed in; i tried to finish my conversation with my aunt as quickly as i could, but when i got to the other call - there was no one.

so i went back to my aunt and the call waiting chimed in again, i said goodbye and answered the other call. it was terry; he told me that they were going to the city now and he'll meet me at Melbourne Central.

I was still in my pajamas.

i quickly went into the shower and got dressed - during that time dad got back home.
good. i didnt have any money.

he gave me $20 and i got on the next bus and took the train to the city.

i got there 40mins later than we agreed - damn my incessant need for 10 hrs of sleep.

when we got there, Chris and I ordered some subway. there was only 1 person serving this large, accumulating queue in which Chris and I were stuck in.

it took us about 30 mins to finally get our food. the people who sat at our table (when we were at the start of the line) already ate their food and left.

we finished eating and made fun of Chris because he says "Bi-Cycle" instead of "Bicycle" much lollage.

We caught up with one of our old friends because he worked at the local GNC store - and he's huge.

We went in RMIT university and played pool (i won) and daytona (i lost...)

we went out and started walking towards Crown Casino which was at the other end of the city. during that time we played an old pinching game where if one sees an Indian with a turban; that person must pinch the triceps of a person/s next to them and the one/s getting pinched must quickly say the color of the turban to have the pinch released.

it's tons of fun but you end up in a constant state of alertness and paranoia.

on top of that; terry keeps trying to ram me into random groups of asian girls - it's his way of helping me get a girl. so i was even more paranoid of stuff around me.

we got to Crown Casino after numerous stops of trying to scare Chris and consequently having him fall into the River.

he didnt fall - crap.

we decided we might go play on some slot machines - just cos we can.
but i didnt get to cos the time i spent in the casino were spent putting my Bag in the cloaking area, looking for the guys, finding them, then telling me that we were going, me getting my bag back from the cloak room, finding that they've gone and played on the slots while they were waiting for me, me having to get out of the casino area because i had my bag, waited for the guys to get out and well got out without doing anything.

yeah

anyway - we went to the arcade and played some more daytona, some initial D, some DDR, some of drum mania, some of this jungle game where you shoot giant insects, this other dancing game where you wave your hands over these sensors, and uh... i dont know what else.

we were hungry afterwards - so we went up to McDonalds.
i only had $5 left. so i borrowed 50¢ from nithun and i got a large frozen Coke (when i wanted a Raspberry Fanta - didnt give it back - didnt want to make a fuss) and a double beef and cheese burger.

we had more fun in expense of chris; we took his phone without him knowing and we texted random sexy crap to his GF... lol but it kinda backfired when his GF was actually agreeing to it... o.0

anyway we decided to call it a day and got on the train - which was good cos we all got on the same train.

we talked some more and i got of a couple of stops earlier and said my goodbyes.

i took the bus to a home full of chores to do - i chose to get on the Comp. and write this blog. :P

so yeah - that was my day, sorry i didnt write about the past couple of days cos they were very uninspiring.


oh and Terry and Nithun are coming by tomorrow... Mad :)

Catch you guys later;
Peace
