ahh just got back home now, taken a shower (hmm i feel clean now hahaha)
was a pretty long day today.
lets see volunteered at the EDO again today.
ok, i promised ST i would get there at 10 hahaha but i got there at 10:45 hehehe
better than last week. i only got there 45 mins late instead of an hour late :-P
WK was nowhere to be seen... so i wasnt the only slacker... :-)
yeah work was interesting to say the least...
firstly, i sealed a few hundred envelopes i shouldnt have (the next volunteer should have lotsa fun *my bad* unsealing them and putting in the membership forms...)
hahaha its that time of the year where the EDO sends its annual flyer/report/newsletter to hundreds of ppl. yeah i may have RSI by now hahaha... because me ST and WK stamped, filled, folded and stacked hundreds of envelopes... *sigh* (legal research?)
what else did i do? hmm oh rite... Leigh (One of the lawyers) sent me to the Post Office to pick up some envelopes she had ordered... unfortunately, there are 2 POs on St Georges Terrace, one 800m to the West and the other just around the corner. being completely unaware of the one around the corner, well hahaha i made the trek down (was at least 30 degrees at the time...) got there... and then yeah obviously there were no envelopes there....
so i had to walk back... and then discover the Post Office which was what? 200m down the road? *arghh*. ok... mebbe 800m isnt alot right... but well i made 2 trips there and back, and lets just say that long sleeves shouldnt be worn in summer hahaha
yep abit of a screwed up day...
what else... must have drank like 3 cups of tea today ehh... (too much caffeine... no sleep tonight) so hahaha im seriously clumsy, careless, and have a horrific short term memory ehh...
*sigh* signs of age... not good signs for my future hahaha...
ahh rite... it wasnt all bad, spent quite some time joking around with ST and WK, so yeah that was interesting... (may i not become like WK hahaha... I DO NOT RESEMBLE HIM WHEN HE WAS MY AGE ST) but he's a decent guy ... has a good sense of humour...
the question of the day: "what is the difference between a realist and an idealist?"
hahaha yep well... i have no idea but thanx to WK for bringing it up hahaha... and causing me to think uneccesarily during what is meant to be my summer break
also, went for dinner with some ppl from uni... was good to catch up... and now i know how far it is from the Wellington St Train Station to Shenton St... too damn far!!! :-P or mebbe i'm just lazy
anyways... we all (well 7 isnt a crowd really) went to Belle's place to chill. she's got the cutest 4 year old sister!!! so quiet and shy ... ahh looks like most ppl did well in their exams :-D and we were all deciding at the restaurant on what to do next year, and then someone goes "hmm why dont we decide what to eat first?" hahaha :-D
anyways... yeah that was my day...
still havent enrolled yet... and have no idea what to do either... investment finance sounds interesting though, and so does money and banking...
oh well i have until friday... :-P... ive delayed it for 3 weeks, another 3 days wont hurt

Thursday, December 09, 2004
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

i lost my job!!!
oh man i lost my tutoring job!!!
well on monday Pete (Ron's dad: Ron is the kid i was tutoring) called me saying they got his Aunt (a former teacher) to teach him for free... so i was like *doh*
and on that note the week started.
well on that day i also helped out at the Environmental Defense Org at the City with ST and WK. well not knowing what to expect it was interesting i thought. definitely a positive experience. well hahaha... ok so i went there later than expected... i think we got there at 10 instead of 9... but anyways we get there and meet Leigh Simpkins who it appears runs the place... then she gives us a confidentiality form... we sign it (i dint even read it... what a crappy lawyer i'll be hahaha) well then she asks us "how much legal experience have u guys had?"
so well as ST and WK have just did final exams, and well, im 1st year... so i'm like: "errr nothin really, unless u count the 5 mins i spent in the Law Library at the start of the year"
well anyways Rick (the other lawyer there) sent me and WK to the Supreme Court Law Library to do some stuff... he gives me 5 cases to photocopy, and here's the embarassing thing: it took me 5 mins to find the first case... and it was in one of the most commonly used case journal thingies (WASC i think for those in the know) well this is a legacy of not ever reading a single case in the whole year, except for Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball i think :-P
so yes it was embarassing... well at the end of the day i got pretty good at photocopying and looking for cases... while ST was stuck summarising a "fun" 40 page case... dont know what WK was doing all day... but he gave me lots of help ehh *thanx man, U prevented me from looking like a complete fool* :-)
so yeah then Leigh sent us to Freo to deliver a letter, and even gave us her car to do it (that's trust, but then again, it was insured). so anyway me and ST get into the car and well it had no power steering so ST started to freak me out as she went down the 4 storey carpark... like yeahh it was eating into the other lane, which isnt a good sign in a half-pint-sized Matiz...so we get to the exit, and we cannot find the ticket... we find: a messy half-torn road map, some papers, random receipts and a weird piece of plastic... so ST goes up to get WK to drive... turns out the ticket is the plastic thingy, so we get out... and then i give WK wrong directions, we end up at Albany Hwy... which isnt good... to say the least... anyways we get there hahaha ... overall it took us 2 hours to get to Freo and back... but in my defense, the car was extremely slow... thank God it wasnt auto... so anyways, working at the EDO was pretty interesting, but well it felt like i did virtually nothing ehh, so unproductive hahaha...
but i'm going back on monday for more cos well it is a good experience...
what else did i do?
had a driving lesson on Thursday with JW's former instructor. well she's GOOD thats all i'll say... i actually got better hahaha ... was funny when she made me turn up Pat's place... and i was like: "better not crash into anything" hahaha... but now i can reverse parallel to a certain degree... :-)
well what else?
went crabbing on Friday with some J-lifers... was fun, tho we only caught 3 small crabs ehh... there were some hilarious moments man...
like when me and James were like stalking one crab that was obviously too small, but it's fun to catch them anyways... so to increase the level of difficulty, i decide to attack it from the front (crabs run sideways u see :-P) so anyways James tells me to swing harder, so i make like a massive swing at it, we see something fly out of the water above our heads... so i like wait for the crab to land, and all we see are 2 front claws like land in the water!!! no crab... man i maimed that poor thing... :-P... oh also, it was a beautiful day, the water was warm (for, i just found this out, a very biological reason... must throw out those shoes i wore that day *spews* well i will never go swimming with James, Dennis, Denny and Jason for a while).... also, me and James saw a dolphin that came within 10 metres of us!!! seriously, i think we could have caught it hahaha ("typical Asians") it was beautiful *ahh gorgeous*. i mean well its amazing what God created ehh... and to be able to see something as graceful as a dolphin, it just cheers you up and gives perspective to life... like it is to be cherished, not endured... as a friend taught me: "cherish every happy moment" and its true as these memories are what stay with you, and keep you steady when times are bad
today we went to carols by the beach at HIllaries... well i enjoyed it... Christmas is near!!! i must confess that it's allure to me lessens each year... it just seems more ceremonial, more routine every year... but then one has to focus on the true meaning of it, which is something so mindblowingly amazing :-)
was reading Philippians last night, and what really struck me was Paul's cheerfulness in a prison cell. i mean, here he was, not knowing whether he would live or die, and yet he finds the time to write this :
2:17- "but even if i am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, i am glad and rejoice with all of you"
i mean, how cool is that? and sometimes we get depressed for well small things in comparison (though everyone sees different things differently)... but one thing i admire about a mate is that well, even if he has a trashy day where everything goes wrong, he makes a conscious effort to be positive which is very cool. i mean, in 2:5- "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus"... THAT is so true man... for "he humbled himself/ and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!" (2:8)
so yeah... that was a really cool revelation last night
i mean, its all about seeing the good amidst the bad, the rose amidst the thorns, the rainbow amidst the rain and so on... because well life can get bad, but well it's how we deal with it that matters... and besides, we have SOMEONE by our side who will always be there for us
well didnt suspect this blog would end up as a bible study hahaha ....
i'll...
end...
this...

now...

another long week
well i havent blogged for a week and a half i think...
been pretty relaxed ehh...
1 month into holidays now... am i bored yet ... well am starting to be
cell ended officially on Sunday
we had a farewell dinner at the Blue Duck that night...
well it was a bit of a long day... started at 7am for me... had to get up cos i was playing that day (James plays next week so i get a break- ahh the pleasures of sleeping in on Sundays ;-)
after church went back, helped my dad clean the gazebo... it's so dirty its not funny ehh... when spraying it with a hose, well a spider the size of like a power adapter came out and went into the garden...
hmmm like yeahh so that was abit disturbing cos my lil sis likes to play there
anyways, was at Liz's place at 4:45... and watched the final cut of Jason's presentation. top stuff to you guys from cell who put it up... it's really good...
well, saw some pretty shocking photos that should never have been taken, yes...
but overall it's pretty good at pulling the heartstrings hahaha... the goal was to make him cry (oh wait shouldnt have said that)
so meanwhile LW is panicking because her fonts are disappearing or changing into more evolved forms hahaha (powerpoint, like most microsoft apps was probably designed by the Devil himself) so LL was like "nic!! dont let her within 3ocm of the laptop or she'll freak!!!"
so anyways we get there at about 6:00 and meanwhile we're all wondering what to do if Jason's already there... hahaha contingency plan involved me getting him out of there with a contrived story of heartache or something shocking well... yes lucky i dint have to embarass myself as Jason didnt get there till 6:45
so dinner was pretty good, have never eaten at the BD before so yeah, i enjoyed it, love the paintings around there hahaha... i sense sea blue is the manager's favourite colour :-P
so anyways dinner was good, cake was bad ehh... ST, WK and I shared a pretty horrible cheesecake... (dont know how old it was) and then we went to the beach yeahh...
was so windy man, me and Jason had to scout for a covered spot...
after rejecting one particular spot which looked like where you would dump a dead body/drugs whatever... we settled on one about 800m away from the cafe, which wasnt that windy yes...
it was there that i realised the futility of trying to tune one's guitar in the dark with howling wind around you... lucky Jason's tuner is pretty easy to use
hahaha cos Jason and I were using our cheap guitars (wouldnt bring a Maton or a Taka to a beach would we? *sacrilege*) ... it sorta went offtune like every third strum man... so yeah... we worshipped there... my fingers hurt like mad after the 5th song, so much that we had to do it a capella yes... that was interesting...
okies... so anyways for me it was abit emotional that night...
feels weird that another year has ended, that we've all grown older hahaha...
sigh...
anyways, gtg now so i'll continue this later
been pretty relaxed ehh...
