As Time Goes By

Even though I say I have more time now, I still don't find the time to blog more often. All these thoughts cooped up in my mind, they shall be let out in the wild now.



Well so far on my holidays, my goals don't seem to be progressing so well. I found out that the book I want to read will cost me $40, and I am way too cheap ass to buy that, I shall wait for the paperback cover to come out and then it will be cheaper. My rock star dreams are still not in sight. The furtherest I've gotten is get the torrent to the program which will teach me how to play. I haven't even loaded it up yet, which means it is not yet downloaded. My fitness goals on the other hand are quite optimistic. Played one hour of basketball followed by a 15 minute jog. Sadly to say, I got tired after 10 minutes and had to take a breather...and when I say breather, my mouth was so wide a bird could have flown into it. Another day I did 2 hours of kickboxing with Steph, in which I gave her a bruise...oops. On Saturday I woke up at 6.45AM, yes, people are actually awake at that time. This was a bit more successful as it resulted in a 30 minute trek. Although there was the occasional walks in between, was quite productive. Sadly to say again, I could not keep up with my dad along the way. I shall work my way up one day, and next thing you know, you guys might confuse me with a Kenyan! DAMN this summer sun.



When I got home around 7.30, I decided to watch the old idiot box. It reminded me of the old times back in the days when I would wake up in the morning to watch those children programs. What I've noticed however, either due to my age or deteriorating quality in programs, is how crap they are now. Flicking channels to find shows such as "iCarly" and "Wizards of Waverly Place". And man are they lame as. I sure hope I didn't grow up enjoying shows like that. Might I also add the lame attmept of being contemporary and "cool" by adding the "i" in front of the name. iPathetic.



Today I discovered a new past time, cooking. You know whats as boring as watching paint dry, watching water boil. And whats just as boring as that, water boiling with pasta in it, especially finding out that half the water has evaporated away and the pasta wont cook properly and I wasn't aware of this because of all the bubbles and froth and I had to settle for relatively hard pasta because I couldn't be bothered waiting any longer.



In the spirit of being Italian, I also baked garlic bread and drank something red...RIBENA!!! Anyway, hopefully I will blog some more later. Farewell my dear readers.

Free

I am now a free man. And I shall be even freer after I get back my results, anyone have any cardboard boxes to give to me? Yes, that is how unconfident I feel about those exams. It was a complete train wreck. But guess what, it's all over now! How ever, that exclamation mark wasn't there right after my last exam. Its rather weird, I did not feel extra happy once it was over, more of a light relieved feeling. I seemed more happy after my Yr 11 semester 1 exams than I did for TEE. There's something wrong with me.

Anyway, now that school is all over, I have plenty of free time on my hands now. What was the first thing I did you ask? Well I cleaned out my table and chucked away all the useless paper that shall never be needed ever again!! And to be environmentally friendly, I recycled them. Rubbish collection comes tomorrow morning, by then, they shall be completely out of my life.



That is a lot of paper isn't it. Such a waste too, I probably only read around one quarter of it, and wrote up one one hundredth of it. My table is all clear now, I can see at least three quarters of it that I never knew existed. With all this free time now, I have made a plan as to what I am going to accomplish during these longs holidays. I shall attempt to learn the guitar. Wake up in the mornings to go jogging. Read my first book since year...god knows when. And what ever else pops into my mind.



I am aware of the fact that she is a girl, but I really want her shirt. Actually, maybe just her in general. But the shirt is a must! Tonight i had Steam Boat at home, got me nice and full.



I discovered that Yam Fish balls are actually quite nice. And I just loveeeee Tom Yum. You may ask who is this gay lover of mine...I will show you a picture.



I can still remember having Tom Yum in the very place is was created, Thailand. Mouth watering, Tom Yum. Sour, warm and spicy. I will hire my own Tom Yum chef one day to cook me Tom Yum , fresh, when ever I want it. Or maybe I can even learn how to make my own Tom Yum. Maybe that can be another holiday project..."take note, hold Thai person hostage"

Bathroom Wars

Well, I share the back bathroom with my sister. Though we don't admit it, we are rather stubborn people. We play this subtle game of chicken within our bathroom. You see, my mother keeps the spare toothpaste in her room, ALL the way at the front of the house. So what happens is, when we reach the final bits of toothpaste left in the tube, we seem to try and get as much out of it as we can, in order to avoid getting the new tube of toothpaste. This game has gone so far to the point my sister even bought a contraption to aid in her victory. So that is how my bathroom works, first one to crack or reach the point where there is no toothpaste at all left, has to go and get the new tube. As you can see, we are reaching the climax point in our game once again.



Anyway, on my skittles update. One week later, and 7/8th's of a bag later, I seem to be reaching my goal of only having red, purple and green skittle left!



As you can see, there are only very few yellow and orange ones left, it is a joyous time to come. Oh yeah, I have exams to update on too. Well I don't really know if I want to update on these, it has been a very depressing and unproductive time.

Might I also add, my next door neighbour's dog is rather scary. As I was turning off the switch to the sprinklers, I hear a loud rushing and suddenly loud barking as he...it scratches against the fence. At this point in time I feel like one of those lame horror movie characters where I stand and wait to see if it actually found a hole or something and is finally coming after me, when i should have simply retreated back into my home. LUCKILY, I am still blogging in one piece. Anyway, I shall be off now to......study.

The Science of Skittles

I just did bad on physics exam, I waited in the 31 degree sun for 50 minutes, I still have 4 more exams, but I feel happy for some reason. I don't know if it's the feeling of being relieved after my first exam...or I'm just going to do real bad on the next 4 exams. But yeah, I feel good at the moment. Physics was supposed to be a good subject for me, the one subject I looked forward to sitting...how oh so wrong I was. NO EXAM IS WORTH LOOKING FORWARD TO!

On the other hand, I bought a bag of skittles for study food. I love skittles. However the yellow ones are crap, followed by the orange ones. Citrus fruits do not belong in lollies. Its red, purple and green all the way. If you eat too much skittles though, you don't feel so well after. Those "fun size" bags are actually quite good, they control your skittles addictions. Having a big bag on the other hand...When i first opened the bag, I ended up eating at least yellow ones for the next 5 minutes, I am the "leave the best till last" type person, so a little pain now will all be good in the end. If only me mentality for skittles applied to studying.
