The Year Of Kevin 07

*this entry was original posted on blog.myspace.com. But for Ken's and other people's benefit, it has been blogged here. Enjoy.
(:

I wont forget the day that Howard lost his seat in government.
I remember waking up the next day completely lost for about a minute.
I don't remember when Howard WASN'T my PM. It was a surreal feeling that Howard's influence within the government was lost, and given to a Mr. Kevin Rudd.
We'll see how he governs the nation in 08. Already in newspapers, it has been published the various different policies that are to take place in say...2 days. New Years. 1st January 2008.
2008 shall be a year of hard work and study-first and foremost. It's a necessity for myself to achieve the highest UAI possible.
2008 will be my last year in high school. It will be the year where I shall be released from the threshold's of the family, namely my dad, and all its other binding.
I can't wait to party it out!

However, as 2007 is quickly ending, I would like to express what I have learnt during this, shall I say, ephemeral year. It has gone too quickly for my liking-I mean, I haven't even finished half the homework that was set

This year, has been my greatest learning year.

I've learnt who my real friends are, and who are not. Friends are forever changing, but the ones that stay, are your true friends. Thanks to all who have been involved in this process, for better or for worse. You guys taught me something I never imagined I could've possibly learn.

I've leant to not trust everybody I encounter. I'm glad to have finally realised the truth about humans-- we are all creatures of deep secrets, and sometimes, it just slips. I don't blame you, I blame me.

I've learnt that you cant have it all. It's the evitable truth. Life has to exist in an equilibrium, and so you cant have it all.

I've learnt that I am able to tolerate little things. Its not longer a chore, and I'm glad that it isn't.

I've learnt to look forward to stuff, in order to get passed time quicker.
The many parties and outings (albeit small) have made this year so much quicker !

I've learnt to cherish those who are around me. The ones that I found this year. You guys have pretty much taken me another inch out of my shell (so to speak). You guys have made the transition so much more easy, so much more fun. You guys have no idea how much you mean to me. Let's kill the HSC together, okay?

I've learnt to forget about things, let them go, and move on. Self explanatory.

I've leanrt to stop living vicariously. It's a recent discovery, and it wasnt a pleasant feeling when I realised this. But now that I've realised I've been doing this, life's been A WHOLE LOT FUNNER :d

I've learnt to cook, and do many other things. Thanks to Alicia.

I've learnt the true value of money. The shopping sprees I've been on this year have caused me to go indebt. I now know the true value of dosh, and I learnt it the hard way.

I've learnt to not care what others are saying. Admittedly, I have cared too much, and let it get to me even more. After the incident, I've learnt that it's not worth carrying other people's words in your heart. Carry your own words, its much more worthier.

Yeah. I can't wait to go on another learning journey.
Finish off school. Get out with my mates. Do my grandma proud.
That's pretty much it.

HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE!

maggieescargot.

Hope that was a good read y'all. (:
Another thing I learnt is that I'm obsessive compulsive. (Thanks to Tien or Georgie :D )

All I Want For Christmas

is you.:)
(daniel reminded me of the song, i love it)

Yes. It is the festive season and i'm really really excitited.
Especially the Boxing Day sales! :) YAY!
5am get up and train it to city, and then splurging most of what i've earnt from work during the week.

I'm really glad the holidays season is finally kicking in. I'm sitting here with butterflies in my stomach, anxious as hell to give my presents to the family!
:D I hope they like the pressies I picked out for them!
November's venaddict, a named Nigel Dang will also be receiving something, so I'm excitied to give it to him. (:

#All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere#


and they sure are. This is what I come out to everyday after work; Westfield's just lights up when the shops's lights are closed.
Mum and I were out one time, and we found this house somewhere in Fairfield, and it was a masterpiece of fairy lights at work.
Lookie!

*ignore the cars' headlight -way to ruin a good picture ):

Yeah, it's pretty awesome what people do at Christmas, that house was trying to raise money for some kind of charity that involved unwanted babies. Pretty amazing.
The news estimated in the 6 weeks leading up to Christmas, the nation as spend well over 63 million (or something, feel free to correct me)! My god, i mean, that's pretty much a lot of money to owe ._.

But Christmas is all about giving, so whatever :D
I hope everyone gets pressies and have a fun filled day!
Enjoy these holidays, as most of us will be entering 08 with a strong, focused head to do well in the HSC! (which, I have yet to divorce, but rather, we're on what most people would call a 'time out' (: )

I still cant wait to catch up with the kiddies from school, and out of school.
Just today I was thinking of Tammy's birthday (: I already bought pretty candles for the cupcake I wanna get her :)
I have another pack, which I intend to use with Ken--although his birthday is ages away, so i'll prolly end up using the candles with somebody else.
(Don't worry ken, i'll do something cooler(Y))

And to the kids of out school, like the vent kids, let's do something shall we?
Yeah. It shall be fun! :)
I think it's going to be fun to date Julie again, just so i can hug her. (:
(i mean, how can anybody not want to?)

Anyway, its nearing 2am, and I have a whole family outing tomorrow, and Boxing Day shopping to attend the day after.
I'm in well need of sleep.

Toodles loverlies.
MERRY CHRISTMAS YES? (L)

A Day for Change.

Hello ALL.

Everything's been very much successful these couple of days.

set realmlist soul-ignition.no-ip.biz

and you're done. Just log-in and have fun.

Merry Xmas :)

Howdy!~

No one has blogged lately, so i thought i would post something.
Firstly, i would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year! :)
I hope you all have plans! I'm quite unsure about mine but i will be sure when the time comes.
Boxing day sales! Excitement?! But sadly i do not have any money to go crazy at the shops :( but hopefully if i do go i'll be able to buy some stuff. On the upside, i have a wedding to attend to on boxing day :D So i shall doll up and be super excited about food! Shark fin soup... i've missed you. ;)

Ah... it is quite a boring night tonight and i am in the "I can't be bothered" mood. I would continue studying, but like i said "I can't be bothered".

School Holidays will officially start tomorrow, though i feel as though i have been on holidays for quite some time now- it must be all the bludging. x] Even though time has been flying pretty slowly for me i still feel pretty satisfied and not bored, not YET anyway but i hope to feel satisfied with my holidays throughout!

I am rather looking forward to this long summer break! It shall be fun! I need to get some exercise done these holidays but i feel rather lazy but hopefully Sam, Shednakie and I will start our jogging regime soon! I am quite excited!~ for now anyway lol. I don't think i'll be very happy while i am lagging behind the boys because i am so unfit T.T"

The strangest thing happened last night - i actually felt like gaming, and i mean DOTA, WOW gaming lol and also HALO. I also learn't that people i knew actually played Neverwinters Night :O "LIKE NO FREAKING WAY~!" I LOVED that game! But Shednakie did bring up a good point IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAD each time! And since i have been told that it is quite like WOW i am quite interested in picking it up, i probably should since a few other Ventrilo-ers are picking it up aswell? I think anyway, i am not too sure about that. But my laptop is seriously going to die :'( it is quite upsetting and I seriously need to reformat, i keep getting this bubble telling me to clean out my computer lol.

Anyway, nothing interesting has been happening so i guess i shall leave it here? And on a personal note! Ventrilo-ers! I think we should bring back the parties! Because it has been rather quiet lately, like tonight :(

Goodnight :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hoolardahs

Just a quick post,

Holidays are here.

Therefore, I have created a World of Warcraft Private Server.

World of Warcraft - The Burning Crusade.
Version: 2.3.0
Registration Page: Here

It's still in its beta stages, as I will tune it to the correct exp/drop/quest rates, etc overtime. So expect a server wipeout soon.

My time and effort in this, hope it pays off.

PS. Don't ask/beg for GM powers.

Day at the movies with Maggie, Vanessa, Ken, Nigel & David :)

Hello Again~

I am back here again to post my SECOND post :) Today school turned out to be a bludge (YES! :D ) lets hope it shall be the same for most of the week!
Today i went to school thinking we were going to start Probability in Maths but turned out when we turned up to class Mr Alexopoulos went shopping? We thought "Ooo... he went out to buy us gifts" so we got all excited but he did not come back, and how did we use our time? YES we STUDIED! ... okay.. maybe not but we did do something useful and cool... RUBICS CUBE TIME! :D lol. Alfred, Son and I sat in the classroom racing each other- the competition was mainly between the strange yet interesting friends Alfred and Son but i am determined to increase my speed and beat the two! :)

During fourth period ie. our last period for the day we had english- we watched the movie 'GOAL' it was totally awesome! And not to mention cute main character ;) I hope we get to continue watching it tomorrow!

Then lunch time was home time for us seniors :D I must say i am going to miss it next year :( Though i am hoping the timetables will have a dramatic change but a GOOD one; i am so sick of the current timetable.

So after school Nigel & Ken came and picked me up. Nigel, you have a tiny car. I have NEVER sat inside a car where my head touched the roof :O it's crazy lol; but your car makes me feel tall so all good :) Once we arrived to livo we went in search for Maggie, Vanessa and David, we walked into Best & Less and walked around the place over so many times, nigel even went to the extent of screaming out "MAGGIE!" i must say that is a first of me seeing nigel do such a thing. Later we found them sitting OUTSIDE of Best & Less LOL. We said our greetings and went to the food court to buy some KFC. Some jerk accused me of pushing in and I DO NOT recall doing such a thing- stupid guy he cut in himself ...stupid; i really dislike bumping into situations like that, why do people have to be such jerks about things like that? LAME. Anyway we got our food and went to eat. Maggie the cutie was terribly cut because they did not provide her with sweet chilli sauce lol.

Anyway, i have not gotten to the reason why we were at livo in the first place- we were there because we planned to watch the movie '1408'. Must i say, it was a VERY scary movie yet VERY good. We laughed, grasped, eek'd and jumped in shock- it was funny. David i think it is very interesting how you sat but it was cute haha- the movie had only went through a minute and you were prepared to hide. I think we were the loudest people there; the only ones reacting very loudly lol. The movie had scared most of us but the reaction we had afterwards was just to laugh lol. All in all, i had fun and I thank Maggie & Nigel for inviting me and for Nigel picking me up after school :)

So that consisted of most of my day, i hope i am able to get to sleep tonight. Anyway that is all for now. Toodles! :)

Much Love .xx

My First Post!

Hello!~

I bet most of you did not know that i have been accepted into the S1k blogging team. I send my apologies for not posting my first post earlier >.<"
BUT i did try to blog a few days ago but i got so distracted i lost my train of thought and deleted what i wrote that day- since Kewok requested that i post today.. here i am :)

I am glad to say that Assessment Tasks are FINALLY OVER! WOO HOO! But i still have one week of school to go (let's hope it's a bludge) ; Right now i feel as though i am on Holidays because i had quite a satisfying weekend :)

SUMMER HOLIDAYS are nearing i think the we should have a Ventrilo gathering sometime during the holidays and maybe we could play some Singstar and have some fun! ;) How does it sound? Anyone up for it?

So what do YOU all have planned for the Holidays? Go to the beach, get some sun and have some fun? ;) I love rhymes ^^" I am hoping to do some of that during the summer break but also i must hit the books!~ Excitement?!
I can't wait to re-organise myself but i can not decide how i am going to do it, but the thing i am most excited about is going to Office Works to buy Stationary! I love new Stationary! :D
95+ UAI here i come! :)

I know it's quite a short post but i shall make a dedication to Post a little more! :)

By the way, Ken you're looking spunky there on the s1k Venaddict winner picture- Congratulations again :)

Bye!~

The Summer Break.

Yes, Christmas is near. and for some people. it might just be the most en-joyous(lol@GRAMMAR) part of the year. Therefore, I have done a little makeover.

As exams are over, and the term coming to an end. I can finally sit here, and relax. This week's been a h3ll intense week for me.

SATURDAY; TUTOR - STUDY FOR 4U TEST.

SUNDAY; TUTOR + LONG Hours. study study study for 4U Complex Numbers.

MONDAY; 4U ASSESSMENT TEST.

TUESDAY; Hosted the School Sport's Award assembly @_@ + English Reading Assessment task. + Integration TOPIC TEST.

WEDNESDAY; Physics Assessment Task - OH MY GAWD. WORST experience. We were in the computer in the library. We did the test. ONLY I decided to do it on the computer. Was up to question 6 out of 7. 20mins to go to the bell. THE WHOLE BLOCK BLACKED OUT. DIDN'T SAVE WORK. GG TO ME. teacher gave me abit more time. I rushed it. UGH.

THURSDAY; 3U PARAMETRIC EXAM. + HOSTED PRESENTATION NIGHT Assembly, meet /w NSW Governer Marie Bishir and her husband Sir Nicholas Shehadie. :O - was VERY formal. VERY WOW. was a GREAT pleasure to meet them. + RECEIVED 4U MARK! 87% (H).

FRIDAY; Hosted Year 10 Graduation Assembly + RECEIEVED integration topic test. 97% (Y). + ENGLISH ASSESSMENT TASK DUE.

AND NOW its friday afternoon.
AND I FEEL LIKE RELAXING.
AND I AM GOING TO GO FIND SOMETHING TO DO.
AND SO I SHALL BLOG AGAIN SOON.

The 4th of December

In an attempt to revive this dead blogsite i shall write a blog seeing as no one else has for a while.

It seems like November's Venaddict has finally been announced, with the winner being none other than the loser ken. (LOL) Round of applause much? *clap*. Moving on ...

So today's the 4th of December which means its JENNY's BDAY ! Happy fucking 17th birthday to her *whooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*. Coincidentally, this also happens to be the same day when i am to get my wisdom teeth (2 of them) removed. And apparently i can't eat after 8am which is the reason why i'm awake so early. This means i get to miss out on school for the rest of the week, which isn't really a good thing, since i kinda like school because it's so bludgy. But i guess to miss out on the fitness program which is good i guess, but then i also miss out on the MANDATORY 'all your own work' course, so apparently i have to do that next year in my own time. (WTF!)

I would like to wish all hurlstoners good luck for any other upcoming assessments! Holidays soon! Can't think of anything else to blog about so .. cyas.

PS: I'm not sure how to upload vids but i thought some people might like to watch this, it is quite funny. Maybe someone would like to fix it for us later?

A L F R E D . T R U O N G

things. things? THINGS!

HELLO WORLD! (Dan Brown styles.)

WELL. it is 9:11PM - it is the 18th of November - it is Margaret's Birthday in less than 3 hours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE OL' FRIEND :)

a lot of things have happened today. first of all.
i'm starting to get headaches when I sit infront of my laptop too long O_O.

secondly, it's sunday, and that's the day where I spend most of my day @ tutor :D:D that is, from 10AM to 6PM. but today we finished early @ 5 :)

I had lots of fun @ tutor. or should i say, too much fun(?). mm, it was excellent. currently learning Probability which I TOTALLY suck ass @. But will master it. slowly..

@ tutor today, our kind teacher help made lunch for us once again. Being the 'Biggest Loser' of the day (as we have some kind of point-system-of-the-day thing), I had to wash the dishes after we finished eating. Which was, tuna sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, egg sandwiches, and peanut butter /w honey /w banana in it(?) [which I thought was kind of awkward], lol.

lawl. Spent like 1hr+ on the dishes. took heaps long as my tutor teacher realised it takes twice as long for a boy to wash the dishes than it is for a girl. My legs were about to break standing that long. x_x

It was hot. We(Me, Son, Phi, Ken, Vanessa, Cynthia) studied in the garage, wasn't very pleasant as it was very hot & stuffy in there. Our teacher came in, and promoted Ken, Vanessa, Cynthia to the 'air-conned' room. Which I was dying for. But couple 10mins later, she came back and promoted me and Son :) and soon later, Phi.

We were working, doing hard work. UNTIL, our teacher :o OFFERED FREEBIES !! like zomgggg, firstly she offered baby socks(?) lol. then soon after uhh. bra straps for the women.(Y), like totally. and finally, STATIONARY :D [my favourite]. Managed to get 2 blue, 2 red, 2 black -FINE TIP 0.5- PENS :D and SUPER AWESOME rubbers that SMELL FUNKAY :)

I have to say, today was totally awesome. And next week I shall be bringing in my mum's home-made fried chickens for everybody, as I just love my chickens :D:D

Until then, I am looking forward to it.

A L F R E D . T R U O N G

The Best.

Well, I woke up this morning saying to myself.

Yesterday = The Best.

As the whole of last week was raining and pouring with rain.
And suddenly, yesterday, Saturday. IT WASN'T RAINING! :D:D

Everything went as planned, no crashers, all good :) I'm glad my Brigg peeps got along with the Hurlstoners.

lol @ the mini-DS group. Singstar went fabuLUS. Halo 8 Players = Lots of screaming.

ahaha. what can I say, it was just (Y).

OH YA! THANKS FOR THE CHING CHING GUYS 8)
Margaret, the tamagotchi. the best (Y).
AND THANKS FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO DO THE RUBIX PHUONGˇˇ DANIELˇˇ TIENNˇˇ

I-Am-Urging-For-A-Rubix-Cube.

The Best, The S1K Reunion.

:D

:o! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING GUYS !


Although we did not break server record, it sure was a great 2hour Online Party. lol.

Can not wait till Saturday :)

S.1.K

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEWOK!

17 years ago, on this day, a little boy named Alfred was born. He is now known as Kewok, or otherwise, the founder of Kewok Server on Ventrilo.
If it wasnt for this boy, I doubt we would even be on this program.
So, to celebrate, we're gonna (try) to a Ventrilo party tonight at approximately 8:30pm.
Be there!
Any bet the second picture will put a smile on your face Kewok! :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN FRIEND! :D (L)

This is going to be a brief post.

Just like to say CONGRATS TO NIGEL FOR FINISHING HIS HSC TODAY! :D You are finally free of the threshold of school, and is able to party to life! HOW FUN!
I hear the Physics one was pretty easy, and you being such a physics nerd, who could afford to spend time playing Dota instead of revising, you probably killed that exam! WOO!
I'm excited for you mate! :)

I just survived my second lesson of Truong this afternoon. I was exhausted after today's lesson, but boy!, I can't wait to do it all again.
(Btw, mum just came barging into my room asking me "are you talking (on ventrilo) again?" LOL!)
Tomorrow morning marks the first morning to getting-to-school-@-7:30am-to-attend-extension-maths regime. For offline Ext 1 AND offline Ext 2 kids, this means waking up at 6am-ish every morning, Monday to Friday, 5 days a week, to get to school. Life is dead ._.

It's KEWOK'S 17TH BIRTHDAY TOMORROW EVERYONE! Remember to give him punches, hugs, and all that jazz! :D
VENTRILO PARTY TOMORROW! WOO!

Anyway, gotta get back to some homework.

The Big Hit.

A lot have happened this week,

This week, I learnt to cope with stress.

I learnt many valuable aspects of life.

What my role is at this moment of time.

Today, at tutor. My teacher gave me a 2hr lecture of studying and life.

I learnt many things from that.

And so, she says I must construct a timetable & a report of myself.

When I got home, I got straight into it.

Here it is,

(Click to Enlarge)

Hmm, still got that report to do, but I'll do it later ~

As you can see, I won't be spending much time on Ventrilo. Therefore, if the server goes down. Call me on mobile.

***

Today, I attended this 4U private tutor. Gawd, this guy is pro. He has 1337 tricks. :D
He told me one, and he's like -Don't tell your friends- /w a grin. LOL! funny man. And the thing that shocked me when I arrived, he's a monk! and speaks English. Just Wow.

So Good Luck to me :)

And Good Luck to rest of you guys! Get those studies up ~

another day to come, the s1k.

Today's the day.

It is currently 10;31PM,

There is currently 19 people on Ventrilo.

I would say this has been a big success from previous stages of the S1K.

***

I wonder,

Is there really a purpose of me keeping this company running?

Sometimes, I forget why I'm doing this.

***

And so now,

I would like seek some opinions & thoughts about Ventrilo.

What you like about it?

What you don't like about it?

What things may need improvement?

What are your best moments on Ventrilo?

-- WHAT WILL YOU DO IF I SHUT THIS WHOLE PLACE DOWN? --

P.S - Nigel, looking good.

finally, the s1k.

Bourngiorno Princess!

or "Good morning Princess" (as taken from Life is Beautiful, the film), is going to be my bind for the time being, because it makes me happy :D

It's now the morning after from the celebrations last night held for the October Venaddict winner, none other than Nigel from Lounge Black/Blue. He's dedication to Ventrilo, even during is HSC, is what won him the award this month.
There may be changes to the criteria of the award, though nothing has been confirmed yet. IF there are any changes however, everyone will be notified by Kewok/Daniel.
Congratulations to Nigel for this month! ; November's Venaddict award is now up for grabs everyone! :D
It sucks that Nigel's photo has yet to be uploaded--lame. First thing I did after I connecting to Ventrilo this morning was hopping onto the blog in hope of seeing a homo photo of Nigel. My hopes were obviously shattered.

So I woke up bright and early today to do some work (all part of a trial for a week that daniel duong and i are doing). I've already completed all of Mathematics (2unit) work, nearly done for 3unit, but am currently struggling to do Truong's work :(
I NEED HELP!!
I'm actually liking this trial, where I sleep at 10pm and get up at 6am :) My dad gave me the "wow" look and my mum gave me the "you-should-go-back-to-sleep-and-get-off-Ventrilo" look. (lol. i love my mummy)

Can't wait until 6:30pm tonight! Channel 7 has a free-to-air screening of Disney's Aladdin! :D
YAYYYY! I can't wait to sing-a-long to "A Whole New World". But at 7:30pm, Channel 10 has a screening of Stars Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

CONFLICTED!

I don't know which one to watch on TV! I don't wanna end up flicking channels :(
On the topic of Star Wars, Tien is a pathetic Star Wars audience. He fell asleep after two minutes again. LAME

That's all for now :)

P.S: I hope this was a good read Sora ;)

xdpoespicism.

Changes,

It's arrived, the new lineup of staff.

Founder - Kewok.
Chairman - Daniel Le.
C.E.O - maggieescargot.

What does each of us do?

I'll start with Founder. Basically, I control all factors of the company. I make sure the server is up and running. Stable as possible, uptime 24/7. I seek for any improvements that can be implemented to Ventrilo/Blog. Overall, I just manage this whole place.

Second. Chairman, Daniel possesses the power over all users, he may do anything to anyone if he thinks it is appropriate. I can assure you, he won't abuse it. He mainly looks after Ventrilo, making Channels for people who are in need of it, etc.

Third. C.E.O, maggieescargot is mainly in charge of the blog, she also possesses the power over users in Ventrilo, but not as much as Daniel. She manages the blog, recruits people that she thinks is worthy of being part of the S1K Blogging Department.

************

Furthermore, Venaddict will DEFINITELY be announced tomorrow.
The Winner will be announced @ Friday 2/11/2007 9;10PM (GMT +10, Sydney).
So stay tuned !!

S1K | Kewok.

Tomorrow is D-day (:

So tomorrow, Extension 2 Mathematics begins! :)
I should sleep soon, because class starts at 7:45 am.
Where the sun is brisk and the day is beginning to warm. It makes me happy that we're doing mathematics bright and early in the morning; JOYOUS.

:D

"Rangah Forever
Dillon Never"
-4unit kids.

Yeah. I'm pretty darn excited. It begins my first serious lesson of maths.
No more mucking about, gotta sit and listen and be an effing sponge!
50 to a class room is the plan for the first 3 lessons. lol.
Poverty hits our school hardcore.

SLEEP NOW.

P.S: Thanks Kewok for the early present (L)

Hurray For Nigel! :D

With the lack of things that has been happening at school to the fellow transitional 12th graders, I think it's time to shift focus onto the kids who are currently doing their HSC at the moment.
One fellow Ventrilo member who is sitting his HSC is Nigel.
He has finished all but one of his HSC, namely Physics. Today, he finshed Biology!
What a genius! :D

For those who do not know who Nigel is, he is from the Hurlstone channel/Daniel's Krew. He is probably our eldest member, legally allowed to drink, have sex and is currently on his Ps.
I think he's managed his time pretty well, juggling Ventrilo time with study time.
We should learn this art; its very hard to master ;)

He is a pretty good-looking boy for those single ladies out there. And as a bonus, he's 'disease free' ;)
LOL LOL LOL! (i love snorgtees.com)
Here's a picture of him pimping if you don't believe my word.

Above: Abarna, Shimene, Jenny, Shirley, Nigel (hawt!), Tammi, Maggieescargot, Leena on Nigel's last day.

See? I told you he was a good-looker, major stud at school! :D

GOOD LUCK NIGEL FOR THE REST OF YOUR HSC (although I'm aware I'm a tad delayed/out of date with this post, but its the thought that counts no? )

For the transitional 12th graders, the only significant thing that's happening is Ext 2 offline starts this Thursday. So that means, for the kids who are already doing Ext 1 offline, everyday Monday to Friday, getting up at 6am and attending class at 7:45 am, thus meaning less late-nights on Ventrilo! :(

OK, at last. I have finally dropped Chemistry. There was no possible way for me to pass the subject, especially with a test mark of 8% for the yearly exam.

SO anyways, I had double chemistry in the last two periods today, and since I've dropped it, I don't need to attend anymore. :)

AND so, I decided to sign out and walk home. I thought, hey. What a great first day of not attending Chemistry class.

WHEN I arrived home @ around 12:45pm, I rang the doorbell, waited patiently for SOMEBODY to open the door.

USUALLY, I would have my keys with me so I could open the door, but I noticed. I.. FORGOT.

NOBODY was home. it was. so. gay.

LUCKILY I had my phone and mp3 player with me. Well not really, but at least time seemed to have went quicker with them.

WELL anyways, I started to take some photo's of what I could see.


SO there you have it, 2¼ hours of boredom-ness.

Once again, the Soul-Ignition team.

I Survived My First Lesson Of Truong :D

After the school bell rang at 2:55pm, butterflies started to erupt. I don't think I really paid attention to what was going on around me (for all i know a fly could have entered my body through my nose/ear/mouth).
Got on to the train, started feeling even more scared, knowing that Truong would start in 1 and a half hours. To make things worse, people were telling me what to do, and more importantly, what NOT to do. I thought it (or most of it) ridiculous. I got told to bring two pairs of fresh undies, had to address him was "Sir" and not as "Truong", to not look him in the eye, to 'bow' to him when were enter the class, to pay full attention when he is talking (hence, no note-taking), that he is capable of pshy-ching it at anyone, he's a racist, sexist, self-indulgist and various other things.
I suppose that most of what people told me prepared me for what I was to expect.

As 4:30pm crept upon the group of 4 who were gobbling down hot chips and listening to TLC, I was trying to calm myself by doing a rubiks cube, which wasn't so succesful (it took me extra long to do 'second level'). Arriving at the place I was literally gonna regurgitate hot chips soaks in tomato sauce.

I think we arrived a tad late, he was close to getting started. So upon entering the classroom of 30 something students, I don't think I bowed down to him (yay! :D, because I really didn't want to). The first lesson to Ext 2 mathematics, I would say, was a joyous one; hardcore migraine-starting one, but a joyous one.
The guy turned out to be quite rational (maybe because he was in a good mood; i don't know), funny and everything that people told me. I think I wrongly perceived him with the correlating stories. I think the guy is quite alright now; can't wait until next week :D
Aim: to beat a James Ruse person finishing a question & to meet Jeff Tnang. YAY! :)

Minor campaigns have continued at school (no doubt), we're legends at stuff like this!

I made Abarna smile cheesy :D!

That's all for now :)

Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è bella)

So today after two FUN hours of tutor, I walked my way home singing to myself The Cardigans' (or Sixpence None The Richer's) "Kiss Me"; I'm so hip! :D
Got home, prepared some food, and looked for a DVD to watch.
I was gonna go for Star Wars, but I found this Italian film titled "Life Is Beautiful" or "La Vita è bella" and decided to watch that instead;
So here's the low-down on what I thought of the film.
[Excuse the brief review; I have homework to attend to ( I love school (: )]

****

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (La Vita è bella)
"An unforgettable fable that proves love, family and imagination conquers all."

Winner of 3 Academy Awards in 1998 for Best Actor, Foreign Film and Dramatic Music Score.
With these stats, it's hard to go wrong with this film. ;)
The story is based on a true story of Roberto Benigni (director, lead actor), and depicts a tale of a man who sacrifices himself to save his family, during the height of the Nazi regime. The film cleverly uses humour to tell a story of love, family and imagination, giving the film a light-hearted feeling, but also focuses in on the brutal reality of the mistreatment and genocide of Jews.
I had a lot of laughing moments, as well as a lot of teary moments whilst watching the film. It causes the audience to reflect on how we perceive our lives, because ultimately, the perspectives that we have, can allow us to take an alternate course on a "journey that had to be".
Parts of the film can be a bit disturbing and confronting (I was about to regurgitate my noodles when I was watching, or perhaps I have a weak stomach? :S )
I give the film a 4.5 out of 5 stars and would date anybody who watched/will watch it ;)

****

Excuse the in-complexities of the English I used; I'm thinking about mathematics LOL! :P
And before I go, I would like to say that the leaf that is acting as the background to the "Soul-" part of "Soul-Ignition" header is sexy. I like it :D

On another note, I think Ventrilo was made by a group of ventriloquists, some sort of cult who wanted to mimic the voice of others or something. So as users of Ventrilo, I think we should all aspire to be ventriloquists :D

10 Things I Learnt From Spending The Night In The City

So instead of spending the night (procrastinating) on the infamous Ventrilo, I was out and about in the city.
Oh dear I do miss it. It's even more pretty at night. (:
I think I learned heaps from tonights outing to the city.

1. The City of Sydney does NOT go to sleep at 11pm (as I previously thought), but rather at around 2-3am.
2. One little car accident on the main road, can cause traffic jams that are 10897493571941 cars long (before you are release from the jam)
3. Saturday night is probably the most busiest night of the week for restuarants and pubs. I saw queues for Sizzlers, Superbowl, and various Inns and Pubs.
4. Saturday night is also the most grande night to go out clubbing. We past one on a walk down Cockle Bay and the clubs on the second story were playing some awesome dancing music; I can't wait until my 18th- I want to go clubbing :D
5. Once upon a time, entrance to the Centrepoint tower used to be $3 O: ( The entrance price now is at $24 per person, that's a 800% increase! )
6. Koreans like to hang out in groups- even in their 40s, just to see a Korean artist perform at the Entertainment Centre.
   
7. Ice-cream palours with a Danish influence are the most popular.
8. Roti is a Malaysian dish (that is heaps yummy).
   
9. The French would happily pose nude for a photo on the beach(Y).
10. My parents are pretty hip.

Picture taken from Mamak restaurant
(The boy who made the roti was heaps cute (L):D)

I like what happened to the colour scheme of the blog. Good work guys! (Y)
I was thinking that we should have a Ventrilo family outing (just for fun, or for Kewok's Birthday!) It should be funnnn :D
Anyway, off to chat some more with Tien, Sora and Mythikz :D

News, whether it bad or good.

Hmm, I feel like doing something different in this post.
--
News, I've got some.

Last night at approximately 11;30PM, everybody only Ventrilo decided to DO something AWESOME. MR DANIEL1337 came up with a spectacular idea. Instead of drawing a penis this time, He said. "LETS DO THE EIFFEL TOWER!" but slowly turned into a Christmas Tree. Rofl. I know it's abit early for Christmas, but here it is.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? Pretty neat EH? :D
Nice work everybody. ;)

SnorgTees

I would have to say the crew at Hurlstone are doing a fantabulous job at carrying through Project V, especially Jenny :)
Kudos to you Jenny!

We're heading EXTREMELY close to our aim of 30 people by the end of the month!
2 more kids on and we're there! GO S1K TEAM GO! (I personally think that we've already got 30 members, but it hasn't been changed on the notice boards of Ventrilo)

Everyone should visit SnorgTees. Awesome shirts there! I especially like the 'PB&J;BFF' one and the 'Let's BEE Friends' one (L) It's time awesome shirts were worn by this community.
Can't wait to get Ventrilo shirts happening! (:



The above picture was sent to me by my close HSC friend, Reila.
The little guy on the right is her, and the snail is me.
I miss her heaps.

Not much today on my behalf, but the spirit is still there :D

Facebook + Microsoft

Now, if I remembered correctly, some people in Daniels crew talked about facebook a while ago. Yes I know, I have nothing to blog about T_T, however I did came across this.

Google and Microsoft was fighting over facebook, but it has been confirmed according to this article that Microsoft won that fight. Microsoft would invest $240 million in facebook to expand itself and its ties. OMFg $240 million... I wish I had that much money, and so, Facebook is now the 5th Most Valuable US Internet Company. ( source )

Now on the light side...
A woMan picked up a hitchhiker and wanted oral sex but got stabbed. Want the full story? It's Here!

The Project V Campaign III

Just when you thought the rain would delay campaign, it hasn't :)
(Most) of the Post-Its are still intact, and something has been added.
(Kudos to Daniel for this idea)



It was placed in the toilet and canteen area.
The photo was taken after 5 minutes it was postered up, and already 2 people de-tagged it :)
Again, I encourage people to do this at their school :D

I'd now like to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU to Kewok for placing such great responsibility in my hands, by dubbing me C.E.O. It means a lot to me. Thanks again (Y)

That's all for now.

LONG LONG day....

Oh man! Today is such a long day ^_^ Okay, enough with my complaint.

Guy 1 : "WTF!?!?"
Girl 2 : "Did you know you can replace that !? with this ‽"

Yes I know, that was kinda lame, but do you know what happens when a ! and a ? fuses together turns into? Now I know this may seem a bit dragonball Z-ish but it is an actual punctuation mark. (well according to wikipedia) It is called the Interrobang .

It was invented by a Guy named Martain K. Specter, he thought it would look better, but it didn't quite make it to the standard set of punctuation marks.





Okay, I'm going to do some homework.

Murakami Kakason, The Soul Ignition team.

Our Community, the Soul-Ignition

And so we have it, after hours of deep constraint. I have decided.

Windows XP SP3?? Vista SP1??

Okay, I'm more of a tech guy... so yeah.. my posts would be more about technology... ^_^

Well, I don't know what to say, however, please do note that this isn't the official SP3 for Windows XP. These are just patches that might make an appearance in the official SP3.
Same goes for Vista, however please take caution when installing, I would not take any responsibilities if this happens to stuff up your computer. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
You've been warned ^_^

http://www.thehotfix.net/

For those who are like not willingly to take the risk, you can always wait for the official SP3 from Microsoft.

Wells back to sleep

Thank You, The Soul Ignition team.

Expansion of Venaddict + Others

Okay, I have sat and thought long and hard about this.

Venaddict, how I could implement some kind of system where it would be fair. And I've come to a conclusion that ALL Server Admin's are excluded. The reason for this:

- I thought, Hey. What does 1 Venaddict Award really mean? Well it means they show continuous dedication towards the server. agree? and so that is why I am now announcing that if you receive >FIVE< Venaddict Awards, You will be awarded and be privileged with the rights of being a Ventrilo Server Admin. Pretty cool eh?

- The new system of Winners is as follows: At the end of each month, the panel of admins will hold an Online Ventrilo Conference Meeting (OVCM) and discuss who will be worthy of this award. - How do I go about being 'worthy'? Basically, just be friendly, stay ACTIVE, help others, and make the most out of Ventrilo.

**** Side-note, WOW will you have a look @ those pictures. GAWD. GOOD WORK MAGGIE. She is now reaching or should I say about to surpass levels of Daniel Le. Which infact, are of standards of very high. For her virtuous efforts, I will be granting her all permissions within the Soul Ignition Society. :) Keep it up!

Thank You, The Soul Ignition team.

The Project V Campaign II

Location(s): HAHS Main Quad, Student's Bodies, Toilets
Subjective: To recruit more kids to join Ventrilo
Outcome: Pretty good. I suppose we wait for results (:

Yeah. We're doing quite well for ourselves.
I was supposed to censor Tien and Daniel's face, but I couldn't be bothered.
EVERYBODY SHOULD AIM TO DO THIS AT THEIR SCHOOL :D

On another note; I'm joining Troung's tutor (lord save me ._. )
Any pointers?
