didn't do much yesterday... but today I'm TIRED. Damn tired. Doing the job which is normally for 2 people does take it out of u... Thats why they have the warehouse leader, and the warehouse assistant. But today I did both jobs... to a certain degree. I couldn't do the forklifting jobs, so I asked Tim to help me. Otherwise I think I did ok... Not much stuff to get in, and only shipped out 8 items today... + around 3 for AirRoad... Considering I had a bunch of stuff for IN... and there was the forklifting pallets of CRTs... too much to do for one person :P But I'll go sleep early and will get there in a good mood. I still say I'm lucky I don't do it full time by myself since it does drain your energy. In the evening watched CSI... pretty good episode... thus the motto is... If you can't get it right the first time, get onto a different tangent. Side step, if u must, to get to your goal. Also got some stuff today... Apparently we won a promotion held by Sanitarium from their "Power Up for School and Win" promotion... A pencil case worth $13! weeeeee... not that I need it! :P The other stuff that we got... well... it was my mum... she goes to english class... and somebody said that they don't need their stereo system... so now we got a 60 CD stacker system... sure, we have around 60 CDs... but I guess its just worth getting it for free just for the... heck of it?? I don't know... but basically... the girl giving it away was moving, and had no space... so she ask if my mum wanted it... yes she said... so she said... u take it home by taxi... but she doesn't wanna... so then she was kind enough to drop it off... and then my dad went with her back to Bankstown because she doesn't know where we live in relation to bankstown... anyways... its cool :P 60 CD stacker... interesting :P

Daylight savings ends. It ended today, and the only item that wasn't changed in the house is probably... the car's clock. But gaining that extra hour still made me sleepy :P I didn't do much today... except to go out shopping for fruit... $0.99/kg for Nashii pears, and $0.69/kg for oranges. So its cheap... Also bread, but milk there was raised from $1.98 to $2.20... oh well... I watched "Underworld"... its an ok movie... nothing 'techincally new' there, no great romance, or hatred, or serious contemplation... just an ok movie. Last nite, the Iron Chef Japanese was beaten by a german chef. So that was interesting. Did u know there are 10 different natural colors for the bell peppers? (or capsicums as they are called in other parts of the world). Normal Ones are Red and Green, Yellow, Orange. Then there are Purple, Black, Indigo, Brown, and some colors which were a blend... but it was an interesting battle. After that, there wasn't any Monk to watch... oh well... and then there was "Twister" with Helen Hunt... Its still a funny movie to see in short bursts, but u soon get tired of vehicles being dropped infront of whoever is driving. Be it the main characters, the non main characters, animals. Hehe tonite there will be Rush Hour 2. I think I'll see that, unless I wanna see Pearl Harbour, which I don't think I wanna see. I don't even know whats on the other channel. Oh well who cares.

Wasted around 2-3 hours of my valuable time today... :P First woke up around 11, and then I went to voting for the local govt elections. And then I came home... and mum was wanting to get new tyres... She couldn't go get them herself, had to wait for me to come home and get them -_- So we went to a nearby tyre shop... and got $70 tyres.. 2 Tyres for the rear... $140... and that took about an hour... That shop was doing great business... had alot of cars coming in every 5 mins and tyres fitted and stuff... after that, we went to get the car checked, since its always leaking water somewhere... turns out it doesn't leak water visually... it has water that seeps into the gasket, and comes out with the exhaust... and it took around 1 hour to do that since he also had around 6 cars sitting there with their hoods popped... so yeah... spent 2 hours of doing nothing -_-... Coming home, bro was bitching about my downloads that I left running... -_-... so I say to him, fuck it, I won't download anything... then he can't complain about shit... I mean... all he ever does is to play CS, or Gunbound... and then he complains about the speed -_-... thats just stupid. We didn't get the adsl just for him to play games... but he tends to think that he's top shit. Oh well. No movies for a while.
I nearly had the possibility of having an car accident today. I was driving along Park Rd to work, and then, without warning... my car makes a noise. This noise gets bigger at high speeds. I knew something was wrong, but I had another 30 mins to get to work. So I kept on going, and then my car starts making noises like a big truck. At this rate, the guy behind me honks me, and I pull over. Turns out I had a flat tyre for over one KM... As I was wondering what to do, I had less than 15 mins to go before work starts... This lady with her two kids were kind enough to tell me that I managed to overshoot a petrol station 20 meters away. So I legged it over there, and ask them if they can change my tyre for me... The job was done rather slowly... took 5 mins... but better than if I was to change it myself, since I would've taken more than 15 mins... so, he asked for $10, I gave him the $$ and drove to work with around 2 mins to spare. There was a bridge over a railway that was really stupid... we sat there for around 5 mins waiting for the lights to change... normally the lights change in around 2 mins... so it felt really long... and then when the lights decided to change, the first driver decides to be looking down or something since it turned yellow quickly -_-... so I think I made it with 3-4 cars, then everybody behind just followed since they've been waiting for a long time... so I think another 3-4 cars after that ran the red light. But that was poor management on the people's behalf... Anyways, work was hectick as usual... lots of RMA in, and plenty of GIM parts to inventory... but I met the guy who does Fridays... called Gao, from Beijing. Funny thing was... I thought his name was Carl... But then thats because my supervisor doesn't know English names properly. Anyways, it being Friday, we did almost all the RMA, and left some for Monday, which is Sam's turn. And then we left there before 5:30... something which doesn't happen alot since theres always something to do... Coming home before 5:45 was pretty good... just relaxed... Anyways... tonite didn't have anything good to watch... but then I got "Once Upon a Time in Mexico"... so will watch that later :D Tomorrow will have the local (govt) election, which is compulsory... so will have to go do that some time tomorrow... hopefully it'll be cooler tomorrow too... it was hot today...

Another easy day today. And met my bro's 'new' gf... After 10pm. As normal people do. NOT. Nah, basically, the day was like this... I woke up (technically) at 7:45 by my alarm clock. It being a moderately cold morning, I said "I shall sleep for 5 mins more". So I close my eyes, and the next thing I know its 8:15. You can bet that I was not sleepy anymore after that. I did all the stuff I do before I go out in 15 mins, then got to work with 5 mins to spare. Anyways, work was rather easy today. All I did was the RMAs (which was really little... seems like products don't wanna play up...) and so I did alot of Stocktaking. But I think there won't be many RMAs tomorrow also because Stanley got given all these Eval units to examine... poor Stanley :P Anyways, while I was working, my bro (who finishes his PHD today) gave his PHD talk today, and then they came back after 12, then left around 5 to have dinner in a crappy restraunt in the Newtown area, called Akasuka (or something dodgy)... bad service with big groups... bad indeed. My parents won't go there again thats for sure :P. So, I finished work around 5:30, and then I drove to Villawood to get KFC for the other bro since he didn't go out to have dinner. Watched Simpsons, old and new episodes, funny as ever, and then CSI:Miami... pretty interesting explosion... from an envelope. Never f*ck with the columbians!! :P Unless u wanna die in ways u never thought of :P Anyways, my parents came back from the dodgy dinner, and my bro also bought the gf along. Taiwanese, and had a look at the house, and then my bro went to drop her off at her place... and I don't have to go in tomorrow, except that if something does happen and they want me in... then I will go in... but I think I'll go in on Friday cos my supervisor is going to Ingleburn... hmm will see what happens :P

Corn be Gone. The row of corn that we grew is now gone, since we finished eating them :D And thus that row will be used to plant something else. Today I felt better than last nite... thats cos I slept at 11 instead of the usual vampiric hours :P. Anyways, yesterday was rather hectic at work, lots of orders and stuff. Today on the other hand... was rather calm... finished all the RMA In and Ship Outs... + stock inventory... thus tomorrow will probably be a busy day... but who cares, its work :) More fun to be busy than to be bored. And I'm considering going to Ingleburn. But who knows... it might be a process worker job... -_-... ah doesn't matter... see what turns up... will go sleep early tonite too... still can't use my nose properly :P hehehe (I'm sad) CSI tonite was pretty good, a head and homosexual people... :P good combination? No. You'll just have to see it to understand. And... after blowing my nose about 20 times in the shower (you'll go... ewwwwwwww!!) I think my nose is finally having a chance to work... otherwise I'll still be like a goldfish... :O breathing through my mouth... (hehe have I gone crazy? probably due to lack of oxygen to the brain :P)
Sunday, March 21, 2004
I think I've caught the sniffles... It was fine when I woke up... well, not fine... grey clouds in the sky... But then I didn't feel too bad... then I went shopping, and on foot, without an umbrella. I got milk and bread, and 3 packs of Chicken Nuggets, and a 4-pack of Tic Tacs... (one costs around 88 cents, the 4 pack is around 2.xx)... Orange flavour. And then, walking on the way home, it starts raining... lucky it was light, but when I got in, it was heavy... and then it kept raining all arvo and evening. We ate the corn that we grew in the arvo... Its of the Taiwanese species... the purple kernels, not the gold ones. And the people in the TW elections who lost were sore loosers... demanding a recount... just like the poor idiots in the american elections. Ah what nonsense :P. Anyways, I watched "The One", found it to be pretty good. Then in the evening, I watched "The Fast and the Furious"... not bad too. A rev-head's movie, but I think "Gone in 60 seconds" was a little more exciting, but TFATF had its moments. Anyways, the other movie that was worth watching was Space Cowboys, but I saw it twice and didn't feel that it could compete against TFATF this time... sorry Clint and Tommy :P. Ok I think I'll go hit the sack early, since I got work tomorrow... laters :P
Today was a hot sunny day. I woke up before Video Hits was over, and watched the last 3 video clips... One was Janet Jackson's new song 'Just a Little (While)', and I forgot the other two... then got online and didn't do much there... then I went and built the second shelf that didn't get built yesterday. For lunch, mum made chips from potatos... they tasted horrible... since it was too dry and too hard... but yeah, had dinner after that, watched some Funny Home Videos.. and then Monk at 7:30, then Iron Chef/Demolition Man at 8:30... Iron Chef, this time it was Mushrooms, 5 different kinds... and the challenger lost. So Chinese chef Chen kept his dignity after losing last week :P. Demolition Man was made in 1993, and I have saw it around 3-4 times, and its still a funny movie to watch. "Enhance your calm" "I'll find him, and I'll Enhance HIS calm". Hahahaa funny :D They should make a sequel... and explain what the 3 shells are. :P But anyways, today Taiwan had its election. That means my parents were hogging my machine (since we still don't have a monitor for the 300 MHz machine...) to check the latest figures. I think its safe to say that the Greens won over Blues... There were some sites that updated quickly, but then stopped updating after a certain time. Other websites updated once every 10-15 mins... So it was hard to say who had the better figures.. Oh well... Oh yeah I also watched "The Butterfly Effect". Not a bad movie, but it does have some unexplained stuff in the end... of well, can't be perfect.
Saturday, March 20, 2004
Today... there was an assasination attempt at Taiwan's president, Chen Shui Bien. He was with the vice president trying to get people on the streets of Tainan to vote for him when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and the vice president got shot in the leg. Now, the only reason why nobody heard any gunfire was... there was loud music and firecrackers. Perfect for an attempt. But lucky he survives, so that there will be an election on saturday. Anyways, that was his day. Recovering in hospital. Me, I woke up early to go to a new place I never drove before. Strathfield. Then I drove about 500 meters away from the office (The Boulevard is a long road) before I realised that the numbers were growing larger... The office was at "11 The Boulevard"... I was at around 150 The Boulevard before I realised, so I had to do a quick turn. Anyways, the meeting was around 1 hour... then I went home around 12... and then... mum came home, had a quick lunch, and then we went to Bunnings to get some items that was needed for renovations. 2 Shelves... some timber, and nails and screws. The shelves are to be in the shed to hold books, while the timber and nails were to make a 'wind barrier' so that the gas stove we have outside won't get wet or get blown out by the wind... but yeah, I took around an hour to get the shelf done (I'll leave the second one for tomorrow...) and then... somebody from taiwan called to say the president was shot while campaigning... so yeah... turned on the taiwan tv webcast, and it was having the news... all arvo and evening... so I left it for my parents to watch, then it was also on SBS and ABC tv... but then after that I was watching Simpsons from 7:30 till 8:30, then The Nutty Professor II... till 11. So thats basically my day... Also my friend called to say I go in work on Monday, since the supervisor will go to the other warehouse... yay more $$ :P
Thursday, March 18, 2004
I think today was probably the most tired day out of the tired days that I have... the conditions are... 7.5 hour days... for 4 days straight... and moving around getting stuff constantly... *sigh*... at least I know what most stuff is... how to do most stuff is important... since u can't just do one task in a company like this... must multi-task... otherwise u will get lost... Tasks that now I'm proficient in... Recieving and Unpacking (GSR), sending to engineers, collecting from engineers, getting spare parts, getting invoiced spare parts, packing, sending out via AAE and AirRoad, getting items from different locations... being rushed by call center staff because of customers breathing down their backs... all in a days work... also sometimes can get an 'elevator ride' with the forklift... it goes over 6 meters high I think... which is pretty fun, but u get close to the roof, and its hot up there... ah... tired... and yahoo mail is giving me the shits today.. and yesterday..... dunno what problem is it... since it works elsewhere but here at home... and all my other websites work! WHY!! :/ ok I'll probably take a shower and go to sleep...
Wednesday, March 17, 2004
Ahhh... when will I get used to this tiredness? Possibly after sleeping well? :P But yeah, today was a little more varied... went looking for more spare parts today... don't u hate it when they don't have the part you want, but its there in the database, and then u go back and u still can't find it? Then later the database turns out to be CORRECT and that some
Tuesday, March 16, 2004
Another tiring day. Full 8.5 hour day (-1 for lunch), and me running around getting stock and stuff... but at least I'm learning more... Finding stock is much more difficult than unpacking and shipping out, since there is a lot of stock... and none of the ones that u really are looking for -_- But yeah, its ok... more work... more $$ :P Anyways, got home and watched CSI... it was a really weird and twisted plot this time... and the preview for next week is EXCITING! Somebody's trying to kill Grissom!! yay! :P Hehe I'm going nuts cos of my tiredness :P nites y'all
Monday, March 15, 2004
What a crazy day! I woke up at around 9am, because I didn't have the casual work. Then I find out my mobile is off. I had left it charging last nite, but apparently it decided to not charge, thus, when I turned it on this morning, guess what? It was flat. -_-;;. So, I plugged it in more deeper (if that was possible... if u don't know what a Ericsson's T20s Charger port looks like, it looks like 5 pins... and it comes loose very very easily. But anyways... I was leaving it to charge, when my mobile beeps at me... first it was Virgin Mobile with a message saying I got 2 voice mails... then... 2 messages from a friend (they sent it at 6:30am!!)... wow :P The voicemail were from my work collegue, who said that the aussie didn't come in today, so that would I mind coming in... I said sure... more $$ for me :P Anyways... I had an 'interview' for 10:30am, so I called them up to change it to friday... (it wasn't important so no worries)... At work... got in at 10am... had a lot to go through, it being a Monday, and it has the most amount of stuff to do... Our supervisor was there in the morning, but left for Ingleburn in the arvo... but he came back at 5pm... lucky there wasn't any important forklifting to be done... otherwise we'd be in trouble. I think the forklift ticket/license issue is very clear. If our supervisor is gone... we will need the aussie. If the aussie isn't here... then we can't recieve it? So... I think its probably a good plan to get the forklift ticket. Now... I've been looking around the net (local area... of course :P) and the prices range from around $450 -> $600+ to get training for a Forklift ticket. Thats pretty expensive! If possible I would like to get it, but at a concession :P Or else get the company to fork it out for me (wahahaha a pun... -_- :P) But it does mean that I can say that I will be able to help out more around the warehouse, it being busy sometimes, but not so busy other times... so will see if its worth it for the short term... if its worth it, then it'll be definately worth it for the long term. I also worked for 15 mins overtime, since... supervisor came back and we're delayed by the courier picking up the dispatched goods... 25 items in total... @_@ I think thats quite alot... the second biggest send-out I did was around 15 items... if tomorrow we have around 15 then I think its Monday's fault, since all the send out stock stay in the shelves till Friday... (the friday person being a student at uni or tafe or something... probably busy as well...) so the Monday crew has to deal with it... oh well... will go to sleep early tonite... :P
Sunday, March 14, 2004
Uneventful day today :P. Woke up usual time, and then didn't do much. Went through the manga I dl yesterday, and then got told that there was some wood panels at the end of the street, so we walked over and got it, and also dad drove the car to pick up the bigger pieces... Anyways, I spent today watching movies... LXG in the afternoon (It was too dark... can't see some action properly), and Shanghai Knights in the evening (really really really bad quality -_-). It was not bad overall, but still... better than not watching.... :) Overall a relaxing day :P
Eventful Day Today... woke up late-ish (means after 1pm)... Being a Saturday, it was ok I guess... My dad wanted a watch, since the watches that he has or had were all unsuitable... so he headed off to the city to buy a watch. Meanwhile, I had breakfast (I don't eat lunch nowdays on weekends -_-) and then... my mum wanted to get some shopping done... but she wanted to go see somebody's place. Which was close to the shopping place, so we went over there. "There" was Villawood's community housing estate. I think its one of those govt. funded housing estates for the underprivilaged... cheap rent etc etc. Its all flats and all the same types of flats... after circling the street, we went to the first part of shopping, near Aldi. We didn't go into Aldi, since its nothing good there... then we saw some area was cordoned off with police tape, and several police cars were sitting there. But we went to see some carpet tiles which were being sold at $1.1 @... around 30-40cm squared... didn't think it was ok, so then we went into a fruit & vege shop... some cheap stuff there... 1 dozen 500g eggs for 99 cents... cheap, so mum got 3 dozen... Misc fruits. Then we went out to the other side, to a import store, where they have cheap stuff from overseas. Got some items for the kitchen there... Anyways, from what my mum heard about the shopkeeper, the reason why they taped off that area was because somebody DIED there that morning... -_- some old person apparently fell and hit their head on the concrete curb... -_- terrible. Anyways... after that, we went to Bunnings to get a Gas container. These things aren't cheap! normally around $46? or $42? It was on bargain at $38. And they also offered a fill service, 9kg of gas at $18 ($2 a kilo...) but we kindly refused, since it costs $13 outside at the petrol station (cheaper! :P). Near home, we went to fill the gas at an hardware store. We entered the store just as it was closing -_- at 4:02pm... they close 4pm on sat, and 2pm on sunday... so it was kind of them to sell us the gas... and then get some wooden stakes ($13 for 10 x 1.5 meters high)... after getting home, set up the outdoor stove, so my mum can cook outside with the gas wok if she wants... but yeah... that was the afternoon. At night, watched Monk... Monk was interesting, about circus... and... kinda gruesome in a way, but thats a good crime thriller. And then, Iron Chef was good, they had 1 other female challenger before, she beat the Iron Chef Chinese (Ken Kenichi), this time, the second female challenger also beat Iron Chef Chinese! With Potatoes!!!! Wow! :P Such a plain vege, used so effectively. Good for her. Anyways... thats all for now... oh yeah on irc, the channel I stay on suddenly doesn't have an owner, but now it does. So its all good. :P
Saturday, March 13, 2004
No work today, but I still got up 'reasonably' early... to deliver some form, and then to go pick up mum and shopping. Shopping was ok, nothing to say... the weather was hot till nearing home, when we went to the fruit shop opposite the train station... that shop used to be big, with poor lighting... now its modern, with white walls and ceilings... and music playing over loudspeakers. A nice setup, but it makes the shop smaller. Anyways, as we were leaving that shop, it started raining. And then it continued raining sporadically after getting home. But its cooled the temperature down... After that, I watched Scary Movie 3, and then Johnny English. Its ok, not super funny. But ok way to waste the day. Both my bros are out, with one bro at camp, so that I get to have bandwidth to myself... yay... :P... BTW, incase nobody knows, Madrid suffered attacks by ETA (or Al-Quaeda)... is Australia gonna be next? Hope not... :(

Hunt for 'dinosaur' on volcanic island - World - www.smh.com.au Heh... this would be very interesting indeed if it existed! Dinosaurs... yipee doo.
Thursday, March 11, 2004
Another tiring day. But I'm used to it. Its routine, and we almost cleared all the 'in' items. Just a couple of items that we can't seem to find the paperwork for... -_- and then more items came in later, which I suppose can be done by the student who has the Fridays. Anyways... I will see what its like after I get back in on tues... 4 day weekend :P Anyways... the weather was pretty nice today... and the aussie guy came back, he said that he had a car accident... I dunno... if he did, he could have probably tried to call to say that he won't come in... but anyways, he will probably go in tomorrow... got the movie "50 First Dates" (Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore)... but still haven't watched all the other movies... so that will have to wait... ah... sleep is good... but I'll stay awake late tonite :P
Oh yeah, apparently Gunbound added 'hack protection'... and changed the chat function in the game... ah... :P
Wednesday, March 10, 2004
Today was a cool day... raining in fact. After the blistering heat, its a nice wet day. And more fun at the warehouse for me... Today it was weird, they had a meeting for the morning, so the warehouse was empty except for me... And then I had to rock up to the office level to get my supervisor since he was the only guy who can use the forklift properly... (The guy they had there for the forklift didn't turn up today! I dunno why?? lazy or what??) but other than that, I did the sorting and unpacking and packing and even some spare parts gathering. More knowledge :D I should get a forklift ticket... it'll be easy since I can drive a car... I hope. Looked so funny when somebody who didn't know tried it (under the supervisor's supervision of course)... but its fun I guess... fun fun fun. ok must go sleep... tired :P
Tuesday, March 09, 2004
Tired... went to part time job. Its good experience :) Lucky got introduced... but there was this big aussie guy who got hired through an agent... but I guess there is all sorts of people who wants jobs... just like me. The heat went to 38 degrees!! Unbearable. Not even a good AC will work in a big warehouse. So it was a very hot room. *Reminds self... must keep fluids up!*... In the evening, watched CSI... it was the case of Baby dying in the back seat of the car (Ripped off some headlines...), a guy getting electrocuted cos he wanted to stay cool with ice and fan, and two people dying because they were young and jumped off a cliff. If the water was deep then no problems... but it was shallow :P Will go to sleep earlier tonite I guess :P Or they will see a Panda Monk... :P
Monday, March 08, 2004
Last nite I watched The Mummy Returns. Its a good film to watch. Enough excitement and adventure for somebody like me. Now all I want to watch is The Scorpion King. :D The past few days it was raining all day (weekend) and today it was a scorcher. Really hot. And then I went to buy milk and med for my dad... and when I came home, the meds were the more expensive types, and my dad just went off his nut at me, saying that I'm useless. -_- well then, u don't get me to buy u the meds then. U can go get them urself. Geez. Talk about ungrateful. its only $3 more expensive... -_- Ok. I'll go have dinner and then have my hair cut. Its kinda long now... so I don't like it long. Laters :P
Sunday, March 07, 2004
*Grey clouds* It was raining all day today... the concrete barrier we built gathers up water... and the water doesn't go anywhere... like a mini pool... useless :P Thats what u get with parents who think they know everything because they have experience, but actually they wouldn't have a clue. The land slopes down, they think it slopes to the side... ah well... live and learn. Didn't do much today... I don't think I even went to buy milk... and didn't watch many movies either... think I was just playing gunbound... and then watched Iron Chef... they were having Corn battle today... the challenger sucked big time... made only two dishes... -_-" waste of a hour... the Iron Chef Japanese made 5-6 dishes... so it was rightly so that he won. Then there was practically no movies... Tomorrow being the movie day for the commercial channels. So I watched Terminator 2. I still enjoy the movie after watching it for over 20+ times... I guess its because its so cool. I think it beats T3 on the plot scale. But actionwise its still up there. Then I went onto gunbound and earned enough to get my funny nose/glasses. I'm turning into a money whore :P But its still ok, I am just a double stone hammer... not near the axe yet... And it has problems recognising my buddy list... not that I had many buddies :P Tomorrow there are 3 big movies. 2001 movies. Moulin Rouge on 7 (or so it says), 15 Minutes on 9, and The Mummy Returns on 10. I bet u can guess by now which movie I will see. THE MUMMY RETURNS!!! YEAH! :P I saw it at the cinema when it came out, and I will definately watch it tomorrow night :P I saw The Scorpion King on a plane... so I wanna see that again when it comes out on telly... :P
Saturday, March 06, 2004
Wow... its been nearly a week since I went to buy milk... since my mum went and bought all these bottles everyday, so I didn't have to. Thus I made a trip to the Food For Less, and got milk, 2 types of cereal (Nutrigrain and Cornflakes), and Bread from the fruit shop. Once home, my mum was cleaning out the garage... its running out of space, since it was very small to begin with, and well... she wants to move more boxes into it from the other shed... but anyways, that'll be a long term project. I played a couple of games of gunbound today... and didn't win at all... it was very bad, managed to get killed alot simply cos the teams I joined were all new... some didn't know how to aim properly... *sigh*... maybe I'll be lucky tomorrow. I let my mum watch Taiwanese TV (CTS) and then, when it got to the stock market show, I let her watch Johnny English on the computer, since its a clear movie. Watched 2 episodes of Simpsons on TV, then there were 3 movies to watch on TV. "The Fugitive", Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford, which I have seen maybe 5-10 times, and still enjoy watching. "The World is Not Enough", Pierce Brosnan and Denise somebody... I think its ok, not a good Bond film, but its got some good action. And "28 Days", Sandra Bullock, the drug addict. :P Which I never watch cos I don't like her :P So I ended up watching Fugitive and 007 (but mainly Fugitive :) ).

I watched "Gigli". Don't watch it. Its stupid, it has no plot, and its stupid. I dunno what posessed the person who made this film to make it. Bad acting, bad script, bad romance, no action... sigh... its not my cup of tea. I think I spent better use of my time just burning anime... :P Anyways... I didn't do much today (as usual :P) and no tv shows to watch on a thursday night... and... there was a weird power 'spike' cos it made both mine and my bro's machine reboot, but it didn't reset any clocks ... weird... And in the late evening (11pm) my parents made this weird dessert... Its red beans and taro mixed together, and they wanted to steam it to make a pudding, except it doesn't turn solid enough to become a pudding, so its all sloppy, and very sweet... I think I'm probably on a sugar high right now :P NOT. Oh yeah, Baby Bash - Suga Suga is a good song, so go listen to it. :P
Watched Finding Nemo today. A good movie to watch if u're an adult, since it does have disturbing imagery... Bruce (the shark) is rather menacing... but its a very well done movie. But during the movie my mum wanted me to go saw some branches off a tree that was hanging into our back yard. So I did that. I dunno... They feel that it intrudes... its only trees... and the branches don't hit anybody's head... but then again who fights with their parents... :P Also watched CSI:Miami... there was a girl who had her neck broken... and it was like... wow... pretty graphic :P Must have been an interesting doll. The other case was a guy who died cos he smoked too much pot... (burst blood vessal in the brain)... hehe and I guess they stashed it in the toilet cistern. :P And then I played Gunbound... and was in 3 winning teams... fun :P (Although I kinda relied on the others cos my aim was a little off tonite... thats cos I had a day of non-play... oh well... not like I'm in a rush to level up...

I smell of grass... well actually a mixture of grass and petrol. This is after I showered... I guess the smell lingers a while on the furniture that u sit on... Basically mowed the front lawn today, and repackaged some boxes in the shed cos it was getting cluttered... will arrange the space in the front shed to accomodate the stuff in the back shed... will do this over a few days... Since mum wants some space so she can cook with a wok outside. Thus it needs to be cleaned. Today I watched "Paycheck" today. Looks alright... some good action in there, but I think movies are starting to get the same nowdays... will have different movies to watch later :) and I ate more cookies today... and watched CSI and a new episode of Simpsons... and its cold weather... CSI was ok today... mummification!!! :P Simpsons... as funny as ever.

Not much to report... Boring 2 days... weather is colder than usual. Now I've got 1800 GP for GB, I should be a double stone hammer, but I'm not... not that I care. My bro is now a metal axe, he can't play in the noob servers... hehehe I think I'll be able to catch up in about 5 days? :P But anyways... Didn't go out to buy milk for a couple of days cos parents have stocked up more on Milk... and Bread... and today they went to Riverwood to get some cheap groceries... Bananas, Mushrooms, and hand made cookies (At coles) which would have been quite expensive, but is cheap once its near the 'consume by' date... 8 Packets of 8 Cookies @ $3.50 -> 45 cents... not bad... :) Bananas were $1 a bag I think... so its ok... won't get sick yet of the bananas... :) Its nearing winter... getting cooler... ahhhh
