Walk a Mile in Their Shoes

Anyone who goes through anything to achieve something, always faces challenges. Unlike taking a stroll through a park painted with the lush greenness of flourishing vegetation, it becomes an ascention to the top of Everest. Like the enthusiastic mountain climbers that we are, we always take 5 steps forward, 2 steps back. Drama strikes, and we're left in a state of regret. Falling 2 steps back could be because of our stupidy, arrogance, or ignorance. Really, it doesn't matter how we fall back, or why, we all have our reasons, but its the notion of that we're always moving forward. (Eventually) Reaching the top, who knows... I'll leave for those that have actually been there and slid down the other side of contentment down to Awesomeville.

In other news... yesterday Jasmine, Lenny and I went bike riding. My heavy breathing at the start was because I was using a bike with flat tires, and I hadn't noticed that until later. Oh and Happy Bday Lenny, since I didn't get to go on Wednesday to SUPPORT you guys and hang out (hello Tim), I we made up by giving you a mini bamboo flute from the Philippines.

Went to Bondi Beach today with Ijhay and Celine, then bumped into Kinjoe and Steph. So we all hung out, played some footy, hacky sack, being idiots, etcetc pics later. Lazy now.

kthxbye

X-Men: Cyclops-Laser-Tag.

The Cyclops clones are at it again.
Blinded by and oblivious to the obviousness at hand.
What was once fun and games, isn't anymore.

Lesson? Fun and games leads to unwanted places.

Tangled Up In Blue [Programming Blob]

Yes. Please.

Programming Nerds.

What we hoped to become. What we failed to become.

But it was a fun while it lasted, seeing the same people in the same room all frustrated over the same thing. It was 1.5 weeks of ambivalence and distraction.

It was the same week Lenny, Jasmine and I all decided to start bringing noodles to uni. Question for all the geniuses out there:
If you have hot water, what would be the safest option to put it in?

A. A foam noodle cup, thats made for hot water to be poured into.B. A thin plastic package meant for... well not hot water, obviously.

Or C. The tower humper.

Correct Answer: A
Lenny decides to bring both A and B (and decides to do C while he's at it). How to solve the hot water problem: Take out a dirty, used bowl from the trash, wash it and eat from that. MM tasty, soy sauce-less, flavourless noodles.

Early mornings with Jasmine have been exciting, I guess. :) Arriving at Blacktown early to stock up on supplies to last the day sort of became the routine. Waiting at the station also led to the assbolt. Which Jasmine likes to sit on. Comfortably. HAHA. I much enjoyed the MP3 train trips listening to thought-provoking songs. :)

Word Challenge Nerds.

Arriving at uni became less productive than staying at home, and there's only one thing to blame: Word Challenge. If I wasn't playing 20 questions with Jasmine, we'd be at it playing Word Challenge whilst waiting for Lenny. To add fuel to the fire of procrastination, it became our regular escape from programming, even with Lenny and everyone else there.

During one of the nights, it was Lenny, Jasmine, Gordon, Ivan, Jason and myself all doing programming. Putting Word Challenge aside, Ivan decided to do the PhoneTracer trick to Jason. One of the funniest moments in this programming period. Oblivious to what was about to happen, Jason waits, then suddenly the image/video pops up. LOL It wasn't the typical in-your-face type of scare, but just imagine that.. with a bit more exposure. A little TOO much exposure. Hilarious stuff.

Don't worry. We'll be quiet.

Getting 25% of the assignment done was only just a slice of the cake. We were cheering, unaware of the amount of crap we still had remaining. Nonetheless, we soldiered on, long hours spent in classrooms, even with other classes using the classroom. Xander, Jasmine and I had stayed in a classroom with another class, quietly working on our assignment so we don't disturb them. Lenny then comes into the classroom, tutor again, reminds us to stay quiet.

Tutor: Could you guys please be quiet while you're in here?
Us: Its okay. We'll be quiet, we'll be quiet.
Lennys Phone: RINGRINGRINGRING *guitar solo* (btw thanks Tim! Perfect timing)
Us: omg... ok we'll leave.

HAHAHAHAHA.

Come the next week, we've made progress in the assignment, but the due date was drawing near, and there was still much to be done. Walking to Uni one morning, I realised I had forgotten to bring noodles, so Jasmine and I stop by the closest convenience store. I purchase my chicken and corn noodles and Jasmine the hobbit decides to take it from me and run off. I catch her, and there we are in the middle of the walkway fighting over a $1.50 cup of noodles, which I offered to buy another one for her. Karma being on my side, smites JC and causes her to slip and almost stack it, with her gripless shoes. HAHA. If I had let go of the noodles then... You would've more than just hated me then JC. lol. Model and the gangster. Hmm?

Completion, Birthdays, and Celebration.

In celebration of Lenny's bday anniversary, which happens every Wednesday, and to coincide with the completion of the programming assignment, this week Jasmine and I decided to get him an expensive lolly from.. a shop we cannot name. Pictures will explain the day for now. (scroll through)

Happy Bday mate. Enjoy the candy we specifically picked out for you.

Posers!

Lenny obviously hard at work on programming....

.... guess not.


Sneaking around.

Umm, dunno what's going on here, buts it looks pretty homo.

AJL.

What we get up to in our spare time...

Magic?

Hacky Sack? or are we dancing?

Lenny contemplating how to go about consuming his birthday dish. (Thanks btw)

Yeah..

The Jap place at Market City.

Action shot! Ping pong after programming!

Hiding your true skills...

I'M SAD

My name is Jasmine Cacdac.
Hello world, I am really sad at the moment.
Because Tim hates me.
And I don't know why.
Actually I know why.
He told me explicitly.
But one person he really hates is Lenny.
And Lenny says "Eff you Tim!"
But it doesn't really matter.
Because Tim is like a stranger to me now.
A few weeks worth of good friendship.
And it was all for nothing.
It was fun though.
Because we ate lots of KFC.
And tried to do the Mentos/Diet Coke experiment.
But we failed.
Well Lenny failed.
Because he had the Mentos in his mouth.
And spat it in the bottle.
Which is so wrong.
But, back to the topic of hating.
I guess I'll just have to accept that Tim hates me.
And that Tim also hates everyone.
I don't know if that's such a good thing.
But it does bring a little comfort to my little heart.

Bye!

Jasmine, again.
Tim, maybe our friendship has a chance.
Just stop hating the qualities that I have I guess.
Such as liking bands without knowing their history.
Or liking songs without knowing what album they are from.
Or liking music that you don't like.
But in all seriousness.
Your red hoodie is cool.
You can be Little Red Riding Tim.
The stranger.
The one that the wolf will trick for a bit.
The one who didn't follow the path.
The one with red shoes like Dorothy.
From the Wizard of Oz.
I like wizards.
Especially the ones in Harry Potter.
This entry is long now.
Maybe we can make it into a song.
Tim, do you hate this as well?
Making songs up without proper inspiration?
I'm sorry if you do.
But you can't change it.
Cos I already said it.

Adrian: JC, stop hating the hater.

Oh that's not true Adrian.
I don't hate Tim at all.
I wish it would go back to how it used to be.
With flowers and lollipops and KFC snackboxes all around.
But it's up to Tim.
I hope it all works out in the end.
So we can tease Adrian together.
Happily.
Like a happy group of friends.
United together for "Annoy Adrian Time".
And we can discuss blog antics.
And catch the train together.
And walk backwards and step on each other.
And find hoodies on the internet and buy it in real life.
And wear red shoes.
And pink sunnies.
And not take off our backpacks.
And think of situations too much until it passes us by.

Wednesday (27/08/08)
Lenny's bday today. The day started off with Lenny picking me up from my house, then it was off the JC's house to go pick her up. Knowing Lenny's goldfish memory, it was only a matter of time before we ended up somewhere we weren't supposed to (Haha). And that's exactly what happened. Eventually found her house. lol.

Drove to Rouse Hill to go see if we could find some clothes we wanted. Walked into Glue and GP. Only to walk out with nothing. I did end up getting to try on some nudies, and shirts that I probably would buy, but just not now. Had some churros after (no visit to Rouse Hill would be complete without churros). JC's churros were so.. .big.. and... chewy. Looked.. delicious. ;) Went to JC's house after, to go watch Zoolander and one episode of Seinfeld. That was cool, I've never seen Zoolander before, yeah, I'm such a knob. Headed to Blacktown after .. although, according to Ivan's beliefs, we were heading to Newcastle. LOL.

Got to Blacktown Workers Club, and met up with Shirley and Veronica. Later, Ivan and Tim came then we walked up to the buffet. More of Lenny's friends came, then we ate into the night. Got dropped off home by JC afterwards (cool parents).

Saturday (30/08/08)
UTS Open Day. Picked up my Lee Jeans from Zero. Then headed off to UTS to go eventually meet up with Nicole.

Eventually found her with her friend, then we headed to the Great Hall to grab some pamphlets. on the way out we were stopped by this "hot" asian chick, to go take a survey. The incentive? FREE FOOD. So we take it. They take us to a secluded room, the free food we get is mini croisants and some.. custard pies? And a free drink. The survey... was bloody 50 pages long. So we ended up just ticking random boxes. Oblivious to the fact that it was only meant for high school students, I handed mine in, until they realised I was in uni. And still got away with free food. They looked a bit disappointed. Hahahahaha my bad.

Watched some animations by UTS students, then I took Nicole to her first bar. :) Bought some drinks then played some pool. Met a couple of drunk dudes, and a lonely guy who kept commenting on everythign we did. Smashed Nicole in pool. Because I'm such a pro. :)... at bs-ing. Walked her to her bustop then she left.

Yesterday.
Watched The Strangers with Lenny, JC and Shirley. Hmm... like Jelli described it.. it was "suspenseful but stupid". The ending was dumb. The scares were... decent. LOL. It was building up to a scary moment, and JC was walking up the stairs (having just come back from the toilets), there was a loud shriek, Shirley screamed, and next thing you see, JC's bolting up the stairs. HAHAHA. ..... HAHAHAHAH. Good stuff. After that, we headed off to Uni for some tasteful Programming.

Well thats it up to now. I think. Left out some things but I blame myself for not remembering.

kthxbye
