Speckled Green

Wow, I didn’t think I would be, but the horror movie that a lot of people laughed through has really spooked me. Took till nearly 2 hours after it finished before I felt that I had been spooked. For the type of movie it was (horror??), it’s wasn’t the best, but it was still better than many of the first reviews said. The version being shown in cinemas around the world now is actually the 3rd version of the movie, interestingly.

Anyhows, today was a good day. After graduation, I went with my friends to Castle Towers, where shopping, browsing, general wandering, talking, eating, arguing and eventually watching a movie before going home was the activities of the day. I shan’t bother going into greater description of the day. I don’t look forward to the formal. Well, I do look forward to it, I’m sure it’ll be great. I just feel really nervous about it, I always feel nervous about social events like that.

Thanks to my friends for a great school year, btw!!

Yes, I’m alive. I just haven’t felt like writing. Haven’t felt like doing much except mindlessly reading stuff from my school books, and playing on the Xbox about once every 4 days. In these holidays, my attention span seems to have shrunk from 10+ minutes, to about 30 seconds. On that thought. My ability sleep in has gone from ‘not really sleeping in’ to ‘kinda sleeping in’ (from 6:50 am to 8:30 am). I think I feel better waking up at 6 am than 8:30 am.

Probably the only thing that’s worth a real mention here in this post is the small outing some of us people of the ‘Back-stoop’ & others had on the 1st Tuesday of the hols. We met up in Parra for lunch (after Anthony and Michael Lee had a ‘study’ session, which included hardcore study of Tap Tap Revolution), before wandering towards the Cinemas to buy our tickets for our movie (Mao’s Last Dancer, very good movie, you should all go watch it if you haven’t already). As usual, the guys out-numbered the girls, but that didn’t stop us guys following the girls like a gaggle of geese around the shops, till we realised that they were shopping for formal dresses and such, and then strangely we felt like going off on our own.

Really nice is what I would put to Nicholas Hooper’s movie soundtrack Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Brilliant stuff…

If you don’t know already, I enjoy listening to movie soundtracks, especially the ones from movies I really enjoyed. They’re one half of the movie really. When thinking about how important they are, I remember that exhibit at Quest-a-con, with the video clip where it plays along with different soundtracks to show how important the music is.

Finally. Time to catch up.

Happy Birthday to Luke Wilis and Kenneth Chi on Wednesday! Happy Birthday to Jenny Wang and Christopher Nguen on Thursday! Happy Birthday to Kevin Zhu (the tall one) on Friday!

There, that’s over with. Exams done, and I’m already not looking forward to seeing my marks. I know I did bad (ohk, maybe I did “ok”, but for me, it’s bad). I didn’t study hard enough, early enough, so that’s my own fault. Good luck to anyone that hasn’t had their half-yearlies yet. Read more »

Yeah, so, I haven’t posted (anything about life that is) in a while, even though it’s the holidays. So here goes.

On Tuesday 14th April, 2009, I went to the orthadontist. Yeah yeah, nothing special, except that after one and a half hours I got my braces. That was what… 2 and a bit days ago? I wonder how long till I’m used to them… Yeah, so, if you see me now, I’ve got braces (the first Baulko people to see me were… I’ll talk about that later). Read more »

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!!

101, it’s post 101. Lol, 101…. get it?
sad, I know

Anyhows, DoE Hike was great!!! Time for a recap! Now, for those of you who are EXTREMELY BORED, you can read this. For the rest, don’t bother.

as opposed to <untitled>. Turns out I was wrong about which day my brother’s friend is coming over. He comes over on Thursday, not Tuesday… Gives me time to make my room and the rest of the house slightly cleaner. Today my mum took my brother and I out to Blacktown, for a hair cut and a movie. Movie, great, hair cut, not so great. Read more »

So, today I went to Castle Towers to watch a movie with some friends. The only catch, I had to go with my mum early (like 1/4 to nine?) to help her with her clearance shopping (carrying what she finaly buys, thankfully not much today). So, I’m there for about 2 hours helping her shop, then we have lunch (actually, she had lunch, I wasn’t that hungry) before we go off to quickly buy groceries. Druing the shopping, we had gone to David Jones (waste of time, there was nothing worth getting there), then off to K-mart, where I first saw Jolene with her mum. Next it was off to deposit the shopping off at the car, and on the way there I once again saw Jolene…. must be a small shopping centre. The place was pretty crowded by then…

In the food court for lunch. Just a can of coke zero for me, and a little bit of some bread of some kind… as we were leaving, we met my old scripture teacher from years back (I can’t remember her, I was only 4 then…) and then I ONCE AGAIN saw Jolene…. only this time she had ditched her mum and was with Sandra and Yeli. After quickly helping my mum with getting some fruit, I met up with Anthony (Liang), who was looking for the girls. So we went looking for them. Turns out they were at a sushi place in the piazza, aparently ‘fob hunting’ or somthing similar to that… when they found us waiting outside the cinemas, they called Anthony a fob… (as I’m not quite sure what defines a fob, I can’t say that he is or isn’t…). Anyways, we got tickets, went walking around, I got a drink, and we ran into Sean and his friends 3 times… oh, and Sandra, if you’re reading this, Sean said to tell you that he ‘broken-heart you (Jolene, Yeli and Sandra)’, what ever he means……

When we go back for the movie, Deva FINALLY turns up… and then after waiting for the girls Boost drinks, we went in for the movie. We watched National Treasure 2… the story line was a bit weird… but then again, it was still interesting. And the end was interesting. As I haven’t yet seen National Treasure (the first one) I didn’t quite understand all of it at first.. but who cares? So, after the movie, I go home… on a late bus… that I had to pay with a $20 note… and the ticket was only $1.60!…… anyways, I finally got home… and now I miss being with my friends again..

On the Third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partrige in a pear tree.

Well, today after Church, I went to towers to meet up with some old school friends. One of the main reasons why we were meeting up was that one of our friends, Josh (who had moved up to Queensland in Yr 5) had come back down to visit again, so we decided to watch Evan Almighty together.

And I must say that it was a very funny movie! There were quite a few laughs coming from the small audience that was there. Anyways, its an interesting movie where Evan Baxter is asked, by God, to build an Ark. To do this, he must stop doing his job as a congressman in the American Government and actually do it.

“Kids, I have a building project for this weekend, and perhaps several weekends after that…”
“Is it too much to ask for just a LITTLE precipitation?”
(after the ark has landed (no I won’t tell you how it happened))”I think we can walk from here…”
and the message in this “What do we want to do? (People chant)CHANGE THE WORLD”
God: how do we change the world? With one-
Evan: Act of Random Kindness at a time…. (mean while, God draws the acronym ARK)

And at the end…. with the credits is footage of them…
EVERY BODY DANCE NOW!
That was funny!
God: I now issue a new commandment: (11)Thou Shalt do the Dance
that was FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!
