Speckled Green

The name of a river, and the name of the cabins I’ve stayed at for the past week. It was a long drive up there, around 4 and a half hours in total, including the breaks and time spent working out where on the map we where (actually, we didn’t have a map of the area…). The place was rather well set up, although the trees around the cabins could’ve been changed a bit to encourage more wildlife (some more flowers would’ve brought birds!!) Read more »

Back at last from the holiday trip. Feeling a bit tired, mostly from the car drive. Had to watch out for leeches in the forests up there!! My parents got bitten, but my brother’s and my own vigilant watch made sure we didn’t get any.

We stayed in a cabbin next to the State Forest up there, Barrington Tops State Forest. Went on a few walks through the forest. Enjoyable, but tiring. Managed to read through 2 and a half Artemis Fowl books while I was there, and still find time to play on my DS… more of a recap later, when I feel better…

Next week I’ll be gone from Monday morning till Friday afternoon, off up the coast past Newcastle, with my family. Spending a week doing nothing much but sitting around, relaxing, and I don’t know what else. Wish I had some new books to read…

Nothing much been happening with me. Now Level 12 in Oblivion (yay!!). Had some fun playing with Andrew, Kevin and Don yesterday on Halo 3, my brother joining in later. Looking for a copy of Ryan and Sean’s Not So Excellent Adventure. Hope it’ll be good.

They say every cloud has a silver lining. Well, down on the ground, I can’t see that, so I’ll have to wait.

Haven’t been doing much really. Finished watching the Bourne series (you know, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremecy, The Bourne Ultimatium). Good movies. Got bored trying to study Brain Bee stuff. Don’t want to start studying for Yr 10 Maths. Can’t be bothered doing anywork. Lazy. See what the holidays do to people… namely me. My mum returns next week… 1 more week of freedom. A capped internet is annoying. But that’s over now…

I want an imagination.

Christmas is drawing closer and closer, and today, as I’m writing this write now at 8:16am, my mum is preparing to leave for Hong Kong to have a 3 week holiday with her parents who are also over there right now. Yesterday we had a small family gathering with my father’s side of the family (uh, well, currently, they’re the only side of the family in Australia, let alone NSW). And last night I downloaded the new Release Candidate for Windows Live Messenger 2009 and had a annoying time trying to work out what was causing the error code 8100030d…

It seems just only a few weeks ago we had just had holidays, and now we’re into Christmas… amazing how time seems to fly. I once again went to school on Friday, and it seems to me that each year more and more people turn up at school. There was about a whole class of Yr 9 at school (unless some of them went off somewhere). Nothing much happened that day. The recess was long, and lunch was early so the teachers could have their Christmas lunch, and this year they hearded everyone in the school into the TLC to watch some movies. Read more »

And the holidays are drawing to a close… One more day before school. Frantically finishing up homework. My mum is annoyed with our modem, the Wi-Fi doesn’t work properly, so she can’t work at her desk. Hope the 1st day of school isn’t too bad.

Nothing much done today. Music practice like normal, bit of games with my brother, some work (which I still haven’t finished, because PDM is soooo annoying). School soon…

Ok. For you people in 9PDM2, what we had to do was finish our Flash Animation. Also, we had to complete a procedure just like what we did for the Developing of a photo, but this time for making our flash animation. There you go peoples.

Today, after spending 3 hours of my day sitting at a piano, and hour studying, an hour making food, having lunch 2 hours late, and finishing Halo 3 Campaign Co-Op on Heroic, I have learnt that I spend too little time doing anything substantial. Anyways, the holidays are nearly over. I’ve got work to finish (PDM IS SOOOO ANNOYING…. stupid extremely long process). Oh, and Happy Birthday to Dinusha!! Bet you’re happy with your Doctor Who DVD set.

Had a haircut today… I’m waiting for my hair to grow back to it’s scruffy state again. After finally having my haircut, I went off to towers to meet up with Ben, Simon and Lok. After stuffing down a large BigMac meal, we went off to watch Eagle Eye (the main reason for the get-together). The movie was pretty good. Managed to walk to the bus stop in time to catch my bus, keeping in mind I didn’t know when my bus was leaving. As I was walking down, I met Jennifer. Turns out she had watch Eagle Eye with her friends as well. What are the chances of that? I wonder if Kevin was there…

Anyways, that was basically my day. Got home, did some more work, played with my brother, got bored and did nothing. Like normal. I’m lazy… Happy Birthday to Aaron!!
