hmmm am feeling very tanned now....
probably shouldnt have gone to the beach twice in 3 days without using sunscreen :-P
but hey, well there wasnt much of a choice on friday cos all we had was some 2 year expired stuff which smelt funny (thanx James :-) hahaha which we only found out was expired after he had applied it all over himself, and after Gloz had put some on (hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?)
but anyways well the crabbing, if its goal was to catch crabs wasnt a success :-p but it was still fun
rite... also went to the beach on sunday... arghhh was so cold at the start but then it heated up...
hmmm i cant think of more frustrating things to do at the beach than trying to play ultimate frisbee (think netball with a frisbee) while a strong wind is blowing from one goal to another :-) all part of the fun. then again, trying to tune a cheap guitar in dark, windy conditions is probably just as frustrating (see 2 posts below for explanation). but still it heated up towards the end... hahaha i guess burying ppl is an interesting way to pass time at the beach (and Jason sculpts nice mermaid tails) i'll leave it at that.
okies what else? hmm
oh wait i volunteered at the EDO again on Monday... cos i got up late, i only got there at 11... that would have been fine i guess, but well work that day finished at 1 so it was like: "i'm done?" then: "hmmm free day, excellent". yeah it was a good 2 hours of volunteer work, most of it which was spent looking for some tax statutes (hate legal research man) hahaha yeah something about conservation covenants and capital gains tax, which i can tell you nothing about whatsoever :-P
yeah so i went over to DV's place later to chill. him and his sister live so close to the uni. if i lived that close, would my marks be better? mebbe lah :-) hahaha would be fun to live that close to the uni tho... instead of being stuck in CanningVale...
Saw "The Saw" on Tuesday with JC... all i can say is that it's a pretty scary pic and yeah very psychological. hmm i actually remember jumping out of my seat quite a few times. so it was worth it :-) the ending is the most shocking part hahaha thats all i'll say... but yeah there were several holes in the plot... probably to be dealt with in its sequel ("The Chainsaw"???? :-P) also there's a bad scene involving someone's leg which had me cringing (let's just say i'm bad with blood ok?)
after went to eat at No1 with AL and his 3 brothers (they all look similar- same build hahaha)
what kind of a name is No 1 BBQ anyways? hmm they're setting a high standard aren't they?
yeah was sorely tempted (being the only one who spoke cantonese on the table) to order like jellyfish and tripe for JW (he's Aussie) hehehe but then he would never go for lunch with me again :-P
yeah another benefit of being the only guy able to speak canto there was that i could tell them when the restaurant staff wanted us to clear off :-( *so rude* hahaha yeah the manager must hav thought we all dint speak canto cos he basically shouted at the waiter (from right behind me) to clear our table when we were still sitting there
then i went over to AL's hahaha yes... used his internet connection, copied his music (all 8 gigs of it :-) LANned, played with Ruski (his dog). i'll swear the dog tried to bite me so many times hahaha ("No Ruski!!! not the wires!!! not THERE!!!") but it's so cute... (the dog that is).
also ate some good ANZ cookies (when was the last time i had one?) oh well now i've found a good cookie supply (cheers to the Chong sistas :-P), and drank some "orange juice" courtesy of Martin.
hmm what else, oh rite was using my citizenship certificate as a mousepad hahaha yeah i had to go to the uni to sort out my enrolment... and i had forgotten my mousepad so dont tell my mum :-P
was actually really funny, cos it was in an envelope rite.
here's what happened:
Nic: "no mousepad, any spares guys?"
(takes out envelope)
AL: "what's that, your birth cert?" (sarcastically)
should have seen the look on his face when i told him what it was (laughs out loud)
was one of those "you had to be there" things :-P
okies... what else?
yesterday walked to PCLC (was probably a bad choice to walk there during noon) to get tix for the formal dinner... so hot man (apparently it was 36 C yesterday) yeah so it was probably abit shocking for the receptionist when i stumbled in all hot and sweaty, hahaha...
looked like i just came in from an illegal immigrant boat :-P ("can u call taxi for me?" "i no pay you cheap cheap")...
also, yesterday i comprehensively cleaned the house hahaha
the things i do to please my parents... had to sweep, mop and vacuum 300 sq metres of house....*urghhh*
oh well all part of the fun...
i'll end it here
