recent update :
written on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 @ 10:53 PM ✈

So I missed masterchef on Sunday because our family went out for dinner and I didn't have a chance to catch up on that ep until now and the highlight of the episode is definitely the part where they lift the lid of the mystery box and there's nothing underneath and since this week's theme is love the contestants go "love is hollow" and "love is empty." LOL

EDIT: Lol didn't get to the next part which was just as good where Matt says in reply to their reaction "At this stage I would like to say this is not some statement from masterchef about love being NOTHING! -contestants laugh- or EMPTY."  

OKAY you know what scrap that. This episode is just priceless everything is so funny so far. Or maybe because it's 11:15 right now and even though it's not that late maybe the deliriousness has already settled in for the night.

In any case here are the other moments I loved:

Kelty: "custard apple and salmon, classic flavour combination there." 
Judges: -looks at each other and gives the o.O look-

when they got told have to swap their boxes: OMG NOOOOOO -falls to the ground- lol shocks all round


It's pretty funny because the contestants obviously try to give their box to someone they think won't be able to cook something out of it well.

Vern (after Samira gives her box to him): oh great this is the gift that keeps on giving

Noelene (has the lamb brains): I can't give it to Neha because I'm close to her and I think ooh I can give it to Lucy but all she has is fear in her eyes. So I think screw it, I'm going to give it to Kelty.

Kelty (who was once made to cook offal by Noelene so I feel bad he got trolled by her again): Noelene has completely missed the brief, it's about LOVE Noelene, LOVE! This is BRAINS.

And then after that people were less mean and actually gave their box to people they thought would be okay with it and in turn those people gave their boxes to that person so people ended up with boxes that had similar ingredients to what they had so those people were happy.

When the contestants had to pick a "strange" ingredient as a core ingredient some of them weren't that bad. I think custard apple would be the best choice (it's not that strange is it?) but other decent ones are the liver, brains, etc. There was also dragonfruit and durian which I think you could work with. But the one I definitely wouldn't want to work with is sea urchin because not only does it look creepy, I think opening it would be difficult.

I loved how when people were choosing who to give their box to everyone would avoid giving eye contact just like what happens in school when you don't know an answer xD

worst start ever
written on Monday, July 29, 2013 @ 10:54 PM ✈

I honestly can't believe this. First day back and it was going smoothly until I got home and the evening progressed and then this stupid situation where you go "please can this never happen" happens.

So angry, pissed and upset. And because of this screw up let's just say every Friday for the rest of the semester is ruined. No joke.

Actually had some other things I wanted to write about today but since I'm in such a foul mood that's not a good idea.

Ugh they say sleeping through things really help but I highly doubt I'll even get any good sleep tonight because of this. This is not good at all seeing as I did not sleep well at all the night before and tomorrow is a 9am start.

Oh uni I love you so. Heavy sarcasm.

here we go again :(
written on Sunday, July 28, 2013 @ 11:04 PM ✈

Ah seriously not looking forward to tomorrow and the whole going back to the "uni life" where I leave home then don't even get to come back until at least 6 every night T_T 

Ugh already falling back into the old routine, checking blackboard, checking student email (which doesn't even work properly anymore whyyyy it's annoying as it is), already looking up what assessments we'll have to do sigh.

Also ordered my lab manuals and whatnot from the copy centre and that's $33 gone already T_T I'm seriously confused as to why I don't have a bio lab manual even though there's one up online? Please tell me we don't have to print our own copy because I'd rather pay $6 to get it printed and binded for me at the copy centre like I did last semester. This isn't about laziness, it just stays together better that way.

Finally satisfied my pasta craving today - as in had pasta outside and not cooked by me. This is the first time I've had pasta outside this year which is surprising since it's already the end of July :O 

I don't even have uni until 11 tomorrow which is a first because I've always started at 9. This means I can sleep in just the tiniest bit more but train times suck when it's not early in the morning or late afternoon. The 11 o'clock start means I can "ease" back into the old lifestyle of uni. That is until it hits Tuesday where it's 9 to 5 oh god T_T

Ahhhhh I seriously don't want to go! Holidays I miss you already come back :( I didn't even do much this holidays which is kind of sad

I don't know why but I'm extremely tired today. For some reason I got flashbacks of summer today and that makes me sad because I really miss summer T_T

Also I seriously do not want to go back to uni on Monday ahhh my timetable sucks so much

holidays disappearing :(
written on Friday, July 26, 2013 @ 12:16 AM ✈

Ah, as holidays are drawing to a close I'm getting more and more sad about returning to uni T_T There's still so many things I want to do but I'm only making extremely slow progress through my list. Today I also kind of reminisced about days spent in high school and it makes me kind of sad that we can't be there anymore. And yes, some people (like my dad) say stop being silly and move on but I'm simply just thinking back on some good memories ^^

In any case today was not one of my best days. The problem with going out driving is that even though I drive for two hours, I'm actually running errands for my dad so when I leave the house at 10 I don't even get to come back until 3 so there's my whole morning gone sigh. Additionally I just get really frustrated now because he likes to repeat the same thing over and over. It's more effective if you mention it around 2 or 3 times, not 10 == 


Ate a giant jelly to cheer myself up after that ^^ It might not look that big but it is when you consider it in comparison to those little jelly things you get in plastic cups(?). The packaging says it's 410g and my it was so filling I don't think I'll ever try eating this again @_@ Oh and it's lychee flavoured.

So yesterday I hopped into bed at 12 because I was quite tired but then I discovered this update as I did my nightly tumblr roaming...



Yes that's right, Yamato's back! Man, I honestly haven't played any otome games in ages, ever since pretty much uni started except the last Yamato update for MFW. And to be honest I don't think this game has released that many new routes since I last played? But the other games have and I am so behind it's not funny T_T And I don't think I'll be able to catch up any time soon since uni is starting again sigh~

In any case thanks to this discovery, the plan to sleep at 12 went completely out the window and I had to say goodbye to another $2 of my itunes card, bringing it down to $7 now D; I ended up going to sleep around 1 which isn't so bad but man, do I miss playing these games. It was short, but it was a good trip down memory lane thinking back on the times I used to waste a lot of time playing things like this ^^



I find it funny how Yamato's season 2 epilogue came out already even though Yuta and Kuni's main story still hasn't come out yet xD I feel bad for them for getting skipped 

And while I was on a different tumblr I saw this:



Ugh why does JP get everything first I want to play this now T_T Well obviously they get it first since it's all originally in japanese and has to get translated. One day when I'm not being a lazy bastard I'll figure out how the JP itunes/app store works and I'll then be able to download them and play them in japanese, which sounds ridiculous but hey at least one, I'll get these updates earlier (since I don't have to wait for it to be translated) and two, it'll probably help me practice my japanese \( ^o^)/ 


Picture says くれよ、誕生日プレゼント (kure yo, tanjōbi purezento) which means "gives me my birthday present." ふふ Yamato always being demanding (¬‿¬)

today's short post is simply this:

fml I forgot to turn on my electric blanket and it's 11:30 at night and since I only just turned it on and it takes about an hour to warm up enough that means I have to be up here til 12:30 before I can snuggle into my bed and do some reading til I fall asleep.

The problem? Probably going to be told off for sleeping so late :/

First world problems.

ahh
written on Saturday, July 20, 2013 @ 10:35 PM ✈

aishh haven't been able to post because for some reason blogger keeps having issues on my computer no matter which browser I use so I was going to post using my phone but then forgot because I started reading my usual sites then fell asleep...

Also all I have to say about last night is "never again." Only bitter and tash will understand but I think it might only be me going "never again"? Forever alone T_T

In any case I got home this morning and felt so physically tired. I don't know how tash was still able to go out for brunch and shirls going to work cause I was so damn beat. However I got home only to be graced with the fact that I had to clean up the stuff in my room, dust everything and vacuum the house T_T Yes I know that that is a simple task except I've procrastinated it for so long my room is really dusty and messy so it took about two hours in total? But then my "energy levels" weren't at their max so it probably could have been a bit quicker.

suuuuuuits is back
written on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 @ 11:43 PM ✈

Just a short post for today but suits is finally back after so long. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as previous episodes due to a few factors. The first is probably because it's been a long day so I have a slight headache and second is because I've kind of forgotten a bit of the plot from the last few eps of the last season so I guess what went on in this episode didn't make as much sense to me? And also there's that thing where the longer something goes, usually it's not as good as when it started out.

My favourite part though?

Benjamin: oh what do you want Michael, please? I'm just trying to eat my egg mcmuffin while I'm still offline. Okay?
Michael: *raised eyebrow look* But I thought you were never offline.
Benjamin: *indescribable look and sigh* Five minutes a day
-blah blah blah some long dialogue goes here-
Michael: I need you to build me a time machine
Benjamin: *wtf look*
Michael: And a bite of the sandwich
Benjamin: C'mon (are you seirous?)
Michael: *you wanna try me look*
Benjamin: It's not sanitary Michael
Michael: Just a little *takes it*
Benjamin: *disgusted look* You can have the rest


It's probably right up there with their canned tuna and canopener jokes and omg I just remembered how much I missed the comic relief that was Harold on that show :(

THIRTEEN'S AN UNLUCKY NUMBER ♪
written on Sunday, July 14, 2013 @ 11:46 PM ✈

sing the title in the tune of that old "three's a magic numberrrrrrrr ♪" ad lol (you might not have an idea of what I'm talking about lol).

In any case yesterday was the thirteenth right? It wasn't friday but it was "unlucky" because I got agen and stats results back which means they're early since it's not the 17th yet! 

Maybe it wasn't that unlucky because I got distinction (78) for agen and high distinction (92) for stats. Pretty happy with what I got for stats :) As for agen, even if people think it sucks(?) I'm just glad it's more than a pass which is what I kind of expected, and even more than that, it means I DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT STUPID AGEN HELL YEAHHHHH.

AGEN YOU ARE OUT OF MY LIFE. 

In any case only bio left for results to be released~

the POWER of youtube... amongst other things
written on Friday, July 12, 2013 @ 11:45 PM ✈

Ah! So I finally remembered what it was that I wanted to blog about that other time. Actually it was a few things. Firstly it was just about how naruto came out on a Tuesday this week which is early so hurray! So much is going down in these past few chapters but it's a pity it's so spaced out that every week when I read it, at first I momentarily forget what just happened last week :/

Also two days ago I had a dream about getting uni results back and I got distinction in everything except a credit in bio and in my dream I was like "what?! NOOOOO" because I think my real life self didn't think bio was my weakest? But I don't know, when I think back to the bio final it was probably the worst along with chem :/ In any case results don't "officially" come out til the 17th but they said stuff could be "progressively released from the 1st of July" but I guess that depends on the subject.

Chem already came out quite a while ago (5 or so days ago?) and it's the only one that came out. Got distinction (79) and to be honest that probably sounds crap to most of you guys, especially if you are used to your old 90+ grades from baulko but to be honest I'm quite happy with that! Chem is seriously not my strong point so I'm glad I even got that ^^

Ah you know I waste so much time watching videos and every night at around 11 I think "hmm I should write a post" and then I think "nahhh it's still early I'll do it later" and then it hits 12 and I'm like "oh crap should go to bed" and then I completely forget until I'm already lying in bed D: 

So in any case the caps in the title could be taken as a reference but I don't think you guys will get it haha. But ah seriously I get screwed over every time we have exams. I remember before HSC I really got into something and started watching a lot of youtube videos... And then before the uni finals I discovered something else and then BOOM there were all these videos I wanted to watch but couldn't because I had to study x_x So I would work hard and for like every 4 hours, I would watch half an hour of videos as break.

But ugh I seriously couldn't wait for the end of exams so I could just watch all these videos without feeling bad. Well it's been 2 and a half weeks since holidays started and let's just say I'm not even 10% through my backlog :/ Basically the power of youtube is amazing because if there is something you like, you finish the video and the "suggested videos" function thing is seriously deadly because you go "oh I haven't seen that" and then there's just a endless string of videos that follow after that. So I have all these tabs open of videos to watch and every time I "clear" one I open like 3 more to watch T_T 

Ah this is never going to end and I'm such a loser. I'm also such a hermit cause I don't even really want to go out. Of course I enjoy it when I do go out with friends but sometimes I'm so lazy I seriously enjoy the days I wake up late and sit here like a couch potato. Ah I'm such a lazy bastard.


The saddest thing is that this Monday we were given a notice saying our electricity would be cut from 8am to 4pm today cause there's maintenance going on or whatever. And I was like nooooo what am I going to do with my time? Of course I could go out but I didn't want to cause I've been out a bit and I think my dad is getting annoyed.

If I'm not on the computer, I like to spend my time cooking up something but nooo can't even do that :( But you know, I was kind of anticipating having to spend today without electricity and you know, my body is weird. Lately I've been sleeping straight past 9 and don't even wake up til 10 unless I set an alarm or have to go somewhere and yet today it just woke up at 8 automatically o_o And for some reason I checked my phone (to see the time) and noticed the wifi symbol was still there and so the electricity hadn't been cut yet.

Wow am I that lame that my body clock woke me up just to see if the electricity had been cut yet x_x In any case I was wondering how today would go down since no electricity to warm up/cook food for breakfast and lunch and I was also interested to see if the ice-cream in our fridge would melt into this sad puddle of goo buuuuuuut looks like my dad had other plans which was to drag me out for like the whole day doing errands.

In the end when I came home everything seemed normal so maybe they didn't exactly "cut" the power after all o_o

Ah also randomly stayed up until 3 yesterday because I was watching something live on viewable radio and let's just say stupid time zones D:

THREE IS A MAGIC NUMBER
written on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 @ 11:47 PM ✈

Ah seriously I honestly had something to write about yesterday but then once again I sat here watching videos until like 12 then I heard my parents coming into the room and I was like !!!!!!!!! so I shut down the comp and went on my merry way and completely forgot to blog and along with that, forgot what it was that I wanted to write about T_T

In any case three years ago today something super AWESOME happened and no I don't think any of you guys will get it and if you are thinking of something it's probably not right ^^ 

But there was a google hangout livestream to commemorate it and omg too many feels but NOOO guess what? Internet was fine all day and then BAM in the middle of the stream it just dropped out. Ugh and then I was going crazy going sadfjasdlkfsdalkfjdslkfjskdfj how could this happen I'm going to kill somebody ==. Don't worry, I wasn't being serious but argh of all the times seriously. It's okay cause after 5 minutes it came back up but still > >

Oh yeah and btw I have a bajillion tabs open because I'm crazy and not to mention I have this massive backlog so can you imagine how frustrated I got when during the livestream some random ad could be heard playing in the background and I had no idea which tab it was coming from? AHHH THE WORST SERIOUSLY

Hrmmmmmmmmm not sure if I had anything else to say so night!

oopsies
written on Monday, July 8, 2013 @ 4:26 PM ✈

Oops I haven't been here in a while. Pretty devastated that tomorrow marks 2 weeks since uni ended for me which means only a little over 2 weeks to go until it's uni again T_T I'm going to be so sad when it's uni again because 13 long weeks! I don't care how "boring" the holidays can be, when I think about all that work I had to do for uni I'm just like noooooo I don't want to go back :(

cough cough not to mention my timetable which is even worse than last semester doesn't make things easier. Anyway yesterday I went driving again and it was a really quite street with no one around and my dad made me reverse down the street and do a U turn while in reverse. I mean whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? It was super hard T_T Plus my neck really hurt looking over my shoulder that whole time.

Anyway I saw this on Cissy's tumblr: click click

Isn't it cool? And for those that don't want to click on it I'll just put my favourite one here:


Of course my favourite one is Naruto ^^ But seriously I can't believe they have that much dedication to do that kind of art because it must take forever planting all the rice and working out which colours you need and where o_o

Oh that's right. The other day I was playing Breakout on google which you get when you type in "atari breakout" and do an image search. Wasted so much time playing that lol. Every time you finish a level it looks up another set of images and those become the "bricks" of the next level. I've noticed that they tend to do images of food, dog breeds, countries/places and animals in general. 

I was also reading about google easter eggs and their April Fools Day pranks and came across this:


Google, you are so damn cool. As far as I know, you don't do stuff like that for bleach or one piece so another point for you (y)
