hey guys, would love to wish you all a very very lucky, healthy, wealthy and enjoyable chinese new year. had a real awesome time tonight going over to cho tet (new year festival gathering in inala) and stuffing our faces with the popular nem nuong (baked meatballs), bo la lot (beef wrapped in leaf) and washing it all down with some nuoc mia (sugarcane drink). it was a pretty good feed ay. we pretty much just went to the festival to keep our stomaches full before popping over to the temple for some praying and firecracker and lion dancing watching. it feels good stepping into temple again after so long. was just good in general being able to pay respects to our elders and heavenly guardians. was a very great night indeed. got my fortune told on a piece of paper as well...really hope it does come true cause it doesn't sound too bad ay. we waited for the new year to arrive at midnight and headed over to to pick up mark and reagan to see how we would spent our first ours of chinese new year. we drove around for a while hoping to play some pool but the owners too had better things to do. we decided to hang out at kangaroo point in which we were mosotly occupied with our fortune tellings, quangs farting and a "who can run fastest" race. hahahaha, take it easy guys, have a real good one.
UNINSTALLED WARCRAFT 3 - FROZEN THRONE EXPANSION - DOTA 6.31A. NO MORE OF THAT ANYMORE. TIME TO GET REAL MATE.
yay, yet another lunar year is nearly about to commence. i'm excited ay. excited as, hopefully if my fortune teller is right, this year to come will be my year; well better than the year that is about to end anyways.
i can see good changes happening already. i love my job ever so much more, i love seeing my mates heaps regularly now, i'm loving and looking heaps forward towards my new year studies; i just can't wait for the year to actually start ay.
gyming has been heaps awesome lately and i can feel it's just going to get better. with kerwin trading places with bondy in melbourne, bondys homecoming has pushed me even more harder. we're already adding an extra 30 kilos to squats and completing full sets of 12. i was happy as, i can see results.
i'm officially a student of qut. bondy and justine took me around campus yesterday and showed me the places to be. i grabbed my id while i was there and alot brought back memories of studying down in otago. i really can't wait to study. cheers heaps to ming for getting me started, lending me his notes from last semester and saving his books for us to buy for the year to come. damn, if i don't get a good gpa, i don't know what else will.
i've really got to commit myself this year. i know it's pretty late for a new year speech or something similar but there's just an urge in me to do well this year. i reckon it's my year this year. i really really reckon.
