Scary

Went for pizza after spanish class (where in Singapore can you get a large pizza at $3.90??). When this aboriginal guy at the next table who was obviously drunk started scolding this guy sitting outside the shop minding his own business and even started punching him! He was mumbling incoherently but we could hear the F words used to punctuate his sentences.. Then some teenagers nearby decided to cut in to help the guy and told the drunkard "Sit down and eat your F****ING pizza!" then he started shouting incoherently and took his wine bottle and wanted to hit them! so they defended theselves using their skateboards but they knew better and went off.. After a while some policemen came over to book the guy but they did not arrest him in the meantime, this van came to round him up.. Apparently its a van that goes around rounding up rowdy aboriginals.. haha wonder where they bring them.. happening sia.. lucky nothing serious happened.. and the guy was smart not to fight back, if not things may have gotten worse.. and we were like standing by to run in case glass and skateboards started flying..

Takeoff

The A380 has finally made its first maiden flight! It's going to be the world's biggest passenger liner once its released.. It's freaking double deckered and they can even put a swimming pool in! haha was so fascinated when I first read about it when it was in the development stages.. So cool to finally see it fly.. Can't wait to ride in it once Terminal 3 opens!

De nuevo a escuela

Hoy es el primer día de un nuevo término del suspiro de la escuela.. Era tan cansado hoy. Tienen que ajustar de nuevo a horas de la escuela. Casi se convertía un ser nocturnal. El horario es realmente lousy. ahora. Los ricos clasifican a partir el 8a.m a los 7p.m con cinco y una rotura de media hora adentro en medio. El deseo I podría apenas poner tiene las clases todas juntas así que podría acabar anterior y venir a casa anterior.
Dude si cualquier persona de usted puede leer esto porque está en español. Usted podría intentar traducirlo de nuevo a inglés usando los pescados de Babel de Altavista. pero dudo que vendría fuera de la derecha. Haha.

Not Pron

Feeling bored? Play not pron to give your under utilised brain cells some exercise!

Good times no more..

Sigh the holidays are ending and school is starting again next tuesday.. haha very hard to find the momentum to get back to the school routine.. been bumming around the past few days trying to get a little bit of reading done.. but on the bright side, 70 more days and I can enjoy roti prata, chilli crabs, chicken rice, milo dinosaur etc etc again!! wahahahaha... till then, i've got about 6 more weeks of school and mid year exams to go through.. hope i can survive..

Bleah

Contrary to popular belief on SOME blogs, I am just a poor student, and do not have enough moolah to organise a chilli crab banquet.

Melbourne Trip

I'm back from Melbourne! I'm so tired now.. The train ride back was a bitch.. Next time I'll either fly or get a sleeper compartment..
The first day, we were heading to the airport for our flight to Melbourne, and because of the heavy traffic, some of us couldn't reach the airport in time and we missed our flight! this is the first time in my life that I missed a flight.. Luckily the people there let us get on a later flight at no extra charge.. really felt like I was in the Amazing Race.. haha..
Melbourne is a nice city but I think I would still prefer Adelaide.. The first thing I noticed in Melbourne was that the pace of life was a little faster than Adelaide wonder how I will cope when I'm back in Singapore! haha.. The people in Melbourne were walking faster than us and everywhere we went we were like 'swakoos'.. We were like, 'Wah here got HMV!!', 'Wah here got Starbucks!!!' or generally, 'WAH!!!!'
Also met up with Jiahui who brought me around to eat Thai food.. the food in Melbourne is not bad.. especially the Gelati!! haha.. Had it 4 out of the 5 days i was there..haha just like when we were in Germany and we bought gelati everytime we passed by the shop no matter how cold the weather was.. We also tried the Metre long pizza they had in one restaurant.. it was not too bad.. The Melbourne Comedy Festival was also on and we wanted to watch it but didn't in the end cos there was no time.. and they were showing Mamma Mia too which I missed in Singapore.. hope they come to Adelaide..
The transport in Melbourne is freaking ex.. so ex that even most of the locals don't pay for the trams.. We also didn't pay the full fare.. So we were always on the look out for the conductors.. We could have been fined 150 if we were caught.. haha... So if we saw them boarding the tram, we would get off the tram.. luckily we only encountered them once..
Another thing I learned during this trip was that it is a really really small world! everyone seemed to know someone else and they were all interconnected! Freaky!
On the last day we saw Max Brenner's!! haha went to have the suckao and the chocolate souffle.. really miss Max Brenner's man.. and the milk for their suckao is free flow! spent a really long time there.. haha..
Before catching the train back to Adelaide, we visited the casino.. Now I know why gamblers keep on going back for more.. It's quite addictive! And also casinoes make shitloads of money! haha.. Went around the tables looking at people winning and losing money.. After that went to the train station for the uncomfortable ride back to Adelaide.. Pictures soon!

Shopping

Got to drive again today! haha my friend rented a car so we could go around shopping in the outskirts of town.. Went to this place called Harbourtown where they have lots of factory outlets and the clothes there are damn cheap.. Didn't buy anything but did have my eye on this Converse jacket.. hmm maybe next time.. After that went to the Levi's factory outlet in another ulu part of town.. The jeans there are freaking cheap! you could get a pair of Levi's for as low as $16! Got myself a signature series for about $40.. Went to a the Pancake Kitchen for pancakes after that to celebrate Jamie's birthday.. every tuesday you only pay $5 for unlimited pancakes.. I am so sick of pancakes not.. they fill you up very fast.. ugh..
Going to Melbourne tomorrow! so i guess I won't be online till monday!

ORD loh!

Today would be the day i ORD if I had not disrupted.. sigh..

It ain't over till the fat man sings

Finally

Yay! Its the last day of school! haha.. gonna have a 2 week mid sem break.. can finally rest.. gonna melbourne next week! too bad can't rent a car.. must be above 21.. hai cannot go the great ocean road.. shall go next year! and one of these years, i shall drive to perth.. hahaha

Loss

By now, everyone should know that Pope John Paul II has gone home to the Lord.. When I heard the news, I followed the CNN very closely cos reading Angels and Demons sparked some interest in all the tradition in the death of a pope and the re-election of a new one. When I watched segments of the Pope's life, I really felt that he was truly a great man, expecially when he went to visit his assassin in jail and forgave him. It must take a lot to be able to forgive the person who tried to kill you. And also when he started this World Youth Day thing where he tried to reach out to the youth, who are not as religious as the older generation and the youths were all like chanting his name.. whoah.. At least he is suffering no longer from all his illnesses and that he died in serenity with the chorus of prayer from people all over the world.. I hope that the next pope would be able to fill his large shoes and carry on his work..

Bored

Argh.. i'm so bored.. look at what boredom can do to me..

Boredom
