Boredom at School For 6 Full Hours

I woke up at 6.20 this morning. By myself. Which is unusual. And I am not supposed to be the early bird kind. Ah well, class at 8.30am really scared me. And i was imagining that i was late for class all the time. Scary. I ended up in school at 7.30am. 1 full hour before class. Which sucks. But it felt good. I meant it sucks. Well, felt good. What i meant was that it sucks to be there 1 hour early before class, but it surely felt good that I know I'll be on time.

This morning nearly the same thing happened last time. NEARLY. I heard lady sounds outside the toilet, but luckily, the girl was pulled away by her friend in time. I know because i heard the sure signs of finding out, relief, and a just a tinge of embarrassment. She sounded like an Aussie. I HAD to smile when i thought of the girl last time.

First lesson was mentoring. We were finally given access to "Blackboard", which is really excellent since we all need the tutorials and unit outlines and presentations inside. For those who don't know already, "Blackboard" is an online learning program that provide students with lecture notes and stuff from lecturers through the Internet. It's really convenient, and after I received access, the first thing I did was to download every friggin' thing i'm supposed to have into my hard disk. Oh yeah, i have a portable hard disk now. 320GB of pure space to put all my junk in. And to think i already have 250GB of space on my computer. MWAHAHAHAHHAA~

But after mentoring, the boredom sets in. Because my next lesson is at 3.45pm. Which is like 6 hours after my first class. Boredom. In the end I used time "efficiently"(which is a first for me, but i surely hope not the last) by searching for materials for my presentation by using the Internet through the library computer. There I was, since 9.30am, and here I am, 11.30am. God, I can't believe I'm working hard for the first time in my life. Scary.

I am going to have lunch with Alvin later, but first i'll have to wait for him to finish up on class. So I'm burning time here. At the same time, I'm starting to feel the strain that not being able to log on to Youtube and watch videos(to study!!!!) so that I can finish my milestone assignment. Oh yeah, milestone assignments are something that help you earn marks for your test, so you can have less stress when it comes to the final test, since they take up 5% of all your total marks each time. And i figure there's five milestones for every subject, which means 20% for every subject, and 100% for all the subjects combined(four core subjects+UWA stream must take+mentoring, which doesn't count as a subject, since it's supposed to help you with college/university life). Which is a lot! But on the other hand, milestone assignments are really annoying, since they're just always, there. No matter what you do, it's always there. Pressure pressure.

My sunburns are finally nearly gone, but i'm careful not to touch them too much, since they still sting when u apply too much pressure when in conjunction with a coarse fabric. Ouch. But other than that, it's all fine now. It doesn't burn anymore, and I feel great.

Getting to know some people around here feels great, including the lecturers. One particular lecturer that I found most interesting was Htay. That's her name, Htay, pronounced Tay. She's the kind of lecturer that's strict and fun at the same time. A very delicate balance, and she did it very well. She says shit, she encourages us to get drunk, get girls, go partying, but we'll have to pass Economics, which is the subject she teaches. Oh, and she loves night clubs and hates kids, apparently.

Having friends is kinda easy, but having good friends, or GREAT friends, is really hard. Since everyone's at a different class at a different time, and can only meet up when you're in the same class OR coincidentally in the same place at the same time, you won't be meeting them much. Other than Alvin, whom I've met and known and had great fun for the past 3 years, I've also gotten acquainted with Gary, Anthony, Fez, Ruth, Lean, Trinh, Aaron, Richard, Alex and a whole lot of others. Particularly Alex. He's from Hong Kong, a little guy, about 165cm tall, and good looking. He's fun to be with, and we share the same interest in games. Since he's from Hong Kong, he got used to a rapid and busy life. And he led me to Perth city to have lunch and back again for the 3 hours break yesterday. Wow. He's a really cool guy to be with, is fashion conscious, apparently, and likes girls. Don't we all. And he works apparently, and always fail to come on time for his morning lessons, or miss them altogether. Which is a dangerous thing to do.

For this 6 hour break today, I DID think about going to the city, but I voted against it, since I'm all alone, and it would be too much of a hassle to catch a bus, a train, then catch a train and a bus again when i want to get back here. As I found out, he likes Taka, the Japanese restaurant in Perth City. Just like all of us. I figure Taka is something like a landmark nowadays in Perth.

I am starving now, but I packed lunch today. A 3 layer peanut butter sandwich and two tiny chocolate chip muffins that my aunt made with my cousin. I don't think these will be enough though, taking into account that I have a really big appetite(although i'm trying to cut it down). But I feel really hungry now, and never felt so for like, 1 whole year before. Gah, might have to waste cash on food at the cafeteria again. Someone just shoot me.

I am bored. Am bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored. I am hungry. Am hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry. Ah well, figure I'll sign off now. It's 12.06pm.

Waiting For Class To Commence... In Class

Well, here I am again. It's 11.07am, and I just finished my Communication in Business class. As it turns out, we're supposed to use Youtube for learning. Well isn't that a shock. In my high school, it's not implemented, and practically unheard of. It was all fun, we get to watch a video of a plane crashing, and we're supposed to figure out what went wrong.

2nd Day In School, And It's Fun Already

Here I am, in school, at 8.43am, on the second day of school. And it's already fun.

I was supposed to have a class at 9.15, which is soon, but since i still have time, i figured i'll chat with some friends and stuff, u know, small talk. Well, as it turns out, they have a class at 8.30, which makes me the earliest to arrive for a class that's not gonna start for another 45 minutes. So after they all got in their class, i was all alone(boohoo). I figured i'll just wash up in the gent's room(or generally called the toilet). So there I was, washing my face, doing my hair, and the stuff. I heard some sounds, which seemed to be a bunch of girls, and i suddenly picked up a conversation saying that one of the girls is going to wash up.

Right then I thought the little scenario has ended. But was I wrong, or was i wrong.

2 seconds later, i turned my head and found myself face to face with a girl. In the gent's room.

Silence.

I thought, "Oh shit is this the ladies room??" and I turned around to check. To my relief, it isn't. It's the gents. Which basically means......

The girl must've realised her mistake when she saw me, and went out half screaming"THE GENT'S ROOM!", half crying, half laughing. Talk about rojak emotions. Then she talked really fast to her girls, "There's a boy in the room! Why didn't you tell me i was going into the gent's room!" and so on.

I was half embarrased, half amused. So i finished up my washing, and was just about to leave, when i figured the poor girl must still be outside. So i waited, so she can go away ana both of us won't feel so embarrased. Sure enough, after she walked a few meters back, I emerged from the toilet and went for the opposite direction. Her girls are laughing their heads off, and she was hanging her head so low i can't even see her face. Well, she WAS kind of cute.

It must be flat out embarrasing for her to do smth like that like first thing in the morning. But, it just started my day with a bang, and i'm still smiling now when i'm imagining her cries/laughter/screams and the such.





Oh yeah, almost forgot - HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p/s: It's 8.56am, so i figured i'll just go over to class first to get ready. And there's the most important part of the blog - MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA(i have no idea why i put in the 'mwa', which makes it an evil maniacal laugh, but it seemed like a good idea, so there it goes.) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!! it's 8.57am. will sign off now.

Well, here I am!! (finally)

After 1 extra year of high school and a whole lot of soul-searching, angst, hatred, drama and whatnot, well, here i am - Canning College, Perth, Western Australia, Australia, Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way, The Galaxy, The Middle Of Nowhere.

Well, after arriving at the Perth airport, complaining about the horrible airline service that Airasia provides(which requires a fee for everything, and when i say everything, believe me, i mean EVERYTHING, short of the toilet) for half an hour or so, i find myself in a whole new place, in a whole new world, with a whole new life. Ahhh... the newness... there's just smth special about smth new, no?

Which basically meant i have to start everything from scratch... again. New computer(yay!) means i have to start recollecting all the previous stuff(junk) that i saved up in my last computer. New school means i have to start meeting and knowing new people and trying to form a connection with all those people out there(which i had just accomplished back in Sibu... WTF/H), and getting to know new teachers all over again(believe me, my past experience wasn't exactly nice, but it's ok. But horrible. I mean nice. I mean horrible and nice at the same time.).

Other than that, I've lost all my games, I missed orientation, I'm missing a home to live in(currently staying in my aunt's house, really nice, but with the activ-iest kids i have ever seen. And loudest too), I haven't got my bank account opened, my Medicare's undone, i haven't got my traveling card thing and i have to use a few bucks of cash to travel everytime, I have to get up at like 7 in the morning cus i'm not sure of the time needed to get to school(1 or 2 hours??!! JUST SHOOT ME), I haven't got the visa sticker thing in my passport, I could only get on the internet from school, my phone still sucks(but not for long), i'm incredibly low on expendable cash, i got no friends here(except Alvin), and I already have a presentation lined up, though it's only my first day in school(WTF). YEP, EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE. EVERYTHING IS GOING ON SMOOTHLY, SO DON'T PANIC!(AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!)

Yeah, but meeting up with Alvin was nice, living in a new environment is nicer, getting a new laptop was nicer-er, and no NAGGING behind my ear's the nicest(SRY MOM!). For once, classes that are actually useful in life are great(for now), teachers are friendly(i think), cafeteria food sucks(as ALWAYS. what is it with cafeteria and bad food? ) And getting a whole group of girls as presentation partners - not so nice(since i'll have to be the one doing the presenting, i think).

Hmmm, got class at 3.45 later, but it's only 2.32, so i guess i'll rave and rant more.

Who would have thought that sun burns would sting so much?! Oh right, the sun burns. I joined my sister on a barbeque at King's Park(magnificent view, but too hot to notice) yesterday with the CCC(Church... Campus... Christian... Curtin... thing... smth or the other ), and i was playing frisbee with the guys and gals. Who would have thought frisbee could turn halfway in the air?! I fell like a gezillion times, got burned by the sun, got laughed at like an idiot, fell more, burned more, got laughed more, and ate then went home. I have been sunburnt before, but NEVER this serious I think. My whole arm was like, red. Barbeque pork red. And everyone was laughing, and falling, and laughing some more. It was nice. But I find myself too tired to go to church the next day(I'm not the church going kind of guy, btw).

Whew, a whole wall of words and it's only 2.42. I must be seriously slow when typing. I think. Ah well, I'll just rave and rant more then. LoL.

There's computers in the school library, which I am using now(try to learn this CHS, we don't need newer computers, we need MORE computers, and better internet connection). So... attending Bachelor of Commerce now, and I think I'm gonna major in Finance(Investing), and Asian Business. I'm currently considering Business law after i graduated Master, BUT we'll see how it goes. I'll have to start packing my own lunch, since my pocket isn't deep enough to support cafeteria food(talk about hitting rock bottom).

Ah well, this is life, and I'm not suppoosed to be complaining, so I'll just stop with the ranting and sign off. Oh, it's 2.52 btw.
