100 Things

I got peer pressured into this. You know the drill, it's the 100 things you want your "perfect partner" to be. How silly. What a complete waste of time.

  1. Is female. So simple, yet so crucial.
  2. Is hot, I guess. But I have this theory that Asians are hot, they just aren't classified as hot. Story for another day.
  3. Has money. Can't have a woman without money.
  4. Has an income. Nothing like a woman with an income.
  5. Won't ask for my money (too much/all the time/too much all the time)
  6. Plays basketball.
  7. At least likes basketball.
  8. Will attend my basketball games.
  9. Shares my dislike for soccer. God, that shit is boring.
  10. Plays a sport. Nobody likes an old lethargic lady. Unless they are actually old so they are lethargic.
  11. Is not a midget.
  12. Is not a giant.
  13. Is within the height range of: No more than 4 inches shorter than me and no more than 2 inches taller than me. This is flexible.
  14. Is within the age range of: No more than 2 years and no more than some age younger than me but not something crazy like 10 years like Japanese people. This is also flexible.
  15. Is flexible. Like, physically. Because flexible are crazily awesome.
  16. Is awesome. This is very subjective, but whatever.
  17. Is not a crazy obsessive bitch. OCD, depending on the severity, I can handle but crazy bitches who will kill K-Pop idols but giving them blood that will not match or those crazy bitches on TVB dramas are not cool.
  18. Is a little bit loony because it's always funny.
  19. Has a good sense of humour.
  20. Appreciates my fine sense of humour. This is important.
  21. Will actually get my jokes and puns and not just laugh awkwardly/laugh to fit in/facepalm.
  22. Will make SIMILAR jokes.
  23. Can stand my sarcasm. This is rather important.
  24. Can see through my sarcasm and know what I'm saying is whether the truth or not.
  25. Can stand my 'bluntness'.
  26. Will stand my dissing.
  27. Is not scared of me. This would be a problem if they were, like, they only like me because they are so afraid of what I would do to them. ... A little bit funny actually. Apparently I'm intimidating. Your thoughts?
  28. Is a ninja. Ninja's are cool. With the sneaking up shit and all. Hours of fun.
  29. Will not cheat. Cheating ninja's aren't cool. Too hard to find.
  30. Can cook. Because I can't.
  31. Can cook good food. I don't want to eat shit food all day, I could go to Maccas for that.
  32. Will teach me to cook good food.
  33. Can knit. Because I can't.
  34. Can knit good scarves with tassles. (That's an invitation to knit me a good scarf with tassles for my birthday. But I don't want to know how.)
  35. Can sew by hand. Because I can't.
  36. Will teach me to sew by hand.
  37. Will deal with my injuries that I seem to suffer on a daily basis.
  38. Has a first aid certificate. This seems like a rather important thing to have in case I'm severely injured.
  39. Knows Cantonese. Then she can speak to my parents because they speak Chinglish.
  40. Knows Mandarin. Then she can have some weird conversation because we all know basic/shit Mando.
  41. Knows a language I don't know.
  42. IS MULTILINGUAL. Multilingualism is hot.
  43. Has a good sense of fashion. For a number of reason, so they can look better standing next to me and tell me what to not wear.
  44. (or at least) Has a sense of fashion that is practical/I approve of. Usually, if I approve of it, it's good fashion, to me.
  45. Will have a dog. Because I want one.
  46. Will have a HUSKY.
  47. Will have another one when that one dies.
  48. Will give them hilarious names. Like Biznatch. I don't even know why that's funny.
  49. Will not name our children stupid names. LIKE ZELDA. My god that's stupid.
  50. Will actually marry me.
  51. Will actually have my children. #44 and #45 are important. Very, in fact. Perhaps more suited for later in life.
  52. Will forgive me if I forget important dates.
  53. Won't forget important dates herself.
  54. Will give me useful presents. I don't like stuff that has no real use
  55. Has siblings, because I don't want my children without any aunts or uncles. Cos that would be shit.
  56. Has rich siblings. Because everybody loves a rich aunt and/or uncle.

  67. Is smart. That always helps.
  68. Will laugh at my failures.
  69. Will let me laugh at her failures.
  70. Doesn't hoard things. My dad hoards things. It's a bit annoying.
  71. Is resourceful. My dad is resourceful. But most of it comes from hoarding things. So it's a good thing and bad thing he hoards.
  72. Will let me stay up. Early sleepers are a bit like :/
  73. Will stay up with me. A little bit of help is okay. Caffeine, tea, that sorta thing.
  74. WILL GO TO HK WITH ME AND WON'T DISS HK. Gee, I love HK.
  75. Will stay in a relationship with me even if I study in USA, despite HIMYM claiming that long-distance relationships don't work.
  76. Has a bit of patience. This always helps.
  77. Is kind. Kind people are nice, funnily enough.
  78. Will tell me to restrain myself. Essentially, put me in my place.
  79. Will rage at me to enforce #73. Nothing worse than failure through complacency.
  80. Will tell me to keep fit/go to the gym if I look at bit on the down side.
  81. Will accept my statement if I tell her she's on a bit on the downside. See #25.
  82. Will be okay with practical jokes so long as nobody is harmed.
  83. Will play practical jokes so long as nobody is harmed. Practical jokes are fun.
  84. Will tell me to do things I should've done ages ago. On top of that, ACTUALLY get me to do these things. Like, immediately. This is what my dad doesn't do.
  85. Is not crazily religious. Although, this is usually not a problem. It's only a problem when they're really crazy, like, will not go out with me because I do not share the same beliefs as her. (I probably got the definition of crazily religious wrong)
  86. Does not have a OVERLY PROTECTIVE family. Those are a bit annoying.
  87. Is sensible. Because I'm sometimes not.
  88. Does not have a really dirty mindset. Like those who make a YOUR MUM or YOUR PENIS/VAGINA joke every conversation. Those piss me a lot.
  89. Doesn't say "gay", "rape", etc. inappropriately. This is what I get for hanging around Lawrence, Codie, etc. a lot.
  90. Will tell me off if I am a culprit of #85. Apparently I say "faggot" inappropriately. I will try and remedy that.
  91. Will tell me to go to sleep earlier.
  92. Will wake me up.
  93. Will not injure me in the process of waking me up.
  94. Will be cool with my heavy breathing.

  98. Actually luff me.
  99. Eye actually luff 'er
  100. Will never EVER subject me to something as mindlessly boring as this.
What a waste of a post. I'm sorry, to those who expected something better. I didn't put much effort into this. And now I got to catch up on 30 effing pages.

EDIT: sew, not sow. jeez.
EDIT: forget, not forgive. jeez. #101. Can spell.

I can't wait

For the weekend to begin. (8)

Actually, not really. I'm more excited because it's the holidays. PHWEEEEEE! HOLIDAYS! Usually, for me, holidays mean waking up at 10, not doing any work, keeping my bed hair, occasionally going out. My holidays get pretty boring, even more so because I need to study Economics and the shitty labour market and all this microeconomic reform (You. If you're reading, find a day. You know who you are)

BLAG. ECONOMICS. Last two exams were also blag, but whatever, I can't be bothered complaining. Everybody has complained enough already. But seriously, expect Simmo to give such a dastardly extension paper. I don't feel good about it. Oh well. Engineering was so...soul crushing. I didn't finish T__T Everybody seemed to finish. Blag.

As for the Jap, Latin, PD, VA, Music and Drama people, I wish you guys good luck. Hopefully, you won't need it. Hope your last exams weren't as shocking as mine.

I stumbled across this today. Okay, I didn't really stumble across it. I go on AKP everyday, don't usually read all the articles. But this caught my attention, and it's hilarious. Don't bother reading it, it's just a lame interview. It's quite off-topic from what the title suggests. Basically, the K-pop girlgroups have formed a union, like a trade union, and it's hilarious. GIRL GROUPS: A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.

"Journalist: Which present was the most awkward to receive?

All minus Sunny: The love of our fans are put in the presents, how can they be awkward?

Sunny: Garlic juice." (LOL)

You guys should all go on Sandra's Tumblr. It's quite good. At times. I quite especially like this one (I really did say "I see what you did there"), and this one.

I wish I could do that.

(yes I did just change layout. )

I'm so sad.

I'm so sad, Martin's leaving Engineering. There'll only be 7 people left in our class. How sad. T____T I'll never have a guy behind me doing... um... uh.... asking questions. And... uh... making wise jokes. Wait, no, he doesn't do that. He asks me things. Yeah! I'll never have people ask me things. I won't have my Martin to check my answers with. I'll inherit Jason. I swear, Jason thinks he's gun at Engi. I dunno. He's always like (as Maricic is explaining) "Yep. Totes. Of course, DUR. NATURALLY! How could anyone not get that". (not verbatim)

Went to Parra Library. That was fun. Quite interesting, actually. Two levels, I'm impressed. Caso's got more books IMO. But Parra has more desks. "Good" working environment. Depends who you're with. But getting there is tricky. Parra is dodgy, according to my parents. I had to follow Steph, I didn't know how to get to Parra Library. I nearly went into the City Hall. The arrows are so misleading. They tell you to go left to the Library when it's behind you. My parents were right, what a dodgy place. It was only made more weird by Steph's story of how she saw a man peeing outside Max Brenners. The man was in grey trackies, and Steph had no idea how he got his "thing" out and started peeing in one of the potplants but she saw because his urine stream refracted the sunlight into her eyes and created a dazzling yet ever so mesmerising effect.

That was weird.

But yeah, today was actually quite fun. SODIUM BICARBONATE PRAWNS FOR ALL. Ahem. But no, I realised that I'm as bad with parametrics as Steph is bad with transformations/auxiliary angle. They'll be the death of me. If I break my table in the Extension exam, you'll know I'm up to the parametrics question. Sigh... I'm so bad at them T________T

At least I took over St. Petersburg. Who knew Moscow was so far away. Those frickin' Macklenburgs/Macklenburgian and Prussian, I HAD A PEACE TREATY WITH YOU GUYS! YOU CAN'T JUST BREAK IT! I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING! Prussia, I can expect, because I did take over most of its territory, but Macklenburg. I thought we had something special.

Nah, I'm alright in terms of [ :) // :( ] levels. Studying for Engi/Ext Maths is offsetted by my conquests in Europe. I call my bed Europe. Macklenburg is pretty hot. Prussia is a crazy bitch. Having a Bona-partay in Europe. WHOOOOO!





Shou. =)

Exam Week 1

Done and dusted. That was fun. English was vague, as usual. The question was pretty shocking in my opinion. It was too vague. That might be good for some people as in that they could easily twist their essay, but I didn't like the question. Once again, I had no conclusion. :/ At least it had 4 pages and ended my essay...well, I thought it did. I hope the marker thinks I did. Fun Fact: the external marker of the half yearly essay (iirc) was Ms Mail. I was a little surprised.

Physics. THAT, was relatively easy. It was simple and straightforward, easier than past papers, imo. Only 72 marks, sorta expected more. I only know of one trick in the exam, the one were the ray was 60° to the surface. I think a lot of people took the Angle of Incidence to be 60°. I know I did. Also, the question asked for how much the angle of refraction deviated. The science staffroom is so sneaky.

Maths. My god, that was boring. Not trying to sound arrogant or anything, but 3 hours is way too long. It's too much time for only 10 questions/120 marks. I was quite surprised that it's 120 marks, that's quite a lot. I'm pretty sure there weren't any tricks in there... probably the last one where people are going on about imaginary numbers. Screw that shit.

But I'm pretty sure there'll be tricks in the Extension paper. Knowing Simmo, he'll probably make half of the questions screw with your mind... and apparently, he's really proud of the last question he wrote. Just a heads up guys... bring a stress ball.

And now, I get to have my 5 day weekend (Y) Got semi finals coming up, that should be fun and frustrating. The team's gonna be hard to beat...but we did it last time. In a semi final as well. Semi final repeat. Better win (Y)

Damn this 5 Day Weekend. I will not feel like studying. I don't want to do maths knowing the questions will be like a sledgehammer to the face. I don't want to do engineering, trying to figure how something can dissolve into something solid. Well, it's a solid solution. But still. NOTHING IS LIQUID!

*headache* T________________________________________________T

Also, my dad's back and he brought back basketball gear from my cousin. Now I have 4 sets of basketball gear that I won't end up using because I don't have basketball for 4 days in a row. Sigh. Oh well. Doesn't hurt to have more. (Y)

I'm so happy.

It's weird. You'd think I'd be all caught up about exams, contrary to Kevin Liang's picture which determines that I will drop something because I won't get 95% in it. But I'm not, I'm surprisingly chirpy, to some extent. I was absolutely bonkers in Monday's maths periods. I was loony. I didn't know what I was doing. I couldn't count. I was holding 3 rules (rulers, as you non-engineers call it) but I said FIVE! But yeah, I'm pretty happy. I wonder...

Maybe it's because my dad is out of the house and I have a bit more freedom. (I'll still miss him.)

Maybe it's because I'm kicking ass in Napoleon: Total War (Conquered Egypt. Took Damascus with a substandard army. But taking over Europe is hard...)

Maybe it's because the Genie dance PV came out. It's pretty damn hot.

Maybe it's because the Genie Jap promotion pictures came out WHICH ARE ALSO PRETTY DAMN HOT.

Maybe it's because i'm getting more basketball time 'cos I'm in grade sport, even though the actual grade games aren't exciting, I just like get more contact with a basketball.

Maybe it's because... Wait. No, that's not a reason. Nevermind.

But maybe it's because I have a dumbbell and can get fully buff. yeah, totally. T_T
Maybe it's because I got 52/100.


But I'm pretty sure it's something else.

Yeah, pretty sure. ^^

UNSW Open Day

I was so excited for this day and I thought lots of people would go, just like loads of people went to USYD, but on the night before, I got texts and messages saying that people wouldn't be coming. So I only had 5 confirmed people going. I was so sad. But when I got to Eddy Avenue/Central, it turns out 12 Yr11's came. There wasn't a facebook event like for USYD so I didn't know. Turns out a whole load of Yr12's came as well, saw them throughout the day. So here we are, waiting at Eddy Avenu, waiting in the rain, waiting in the midst of 50 Asians all wanting to scab the free UNSW Express buses. Scabbing is going to become a recurring motif here. We missed 2 buses because there were so many people attending Open Day/UNSW students catching the free bus.

When we finally got to UNSW (Fun Fact: it's easier to type UNSW but say New South), we all instant went to grab a free diary, cookbook, PEN, etc. It was 10 minutes to my first lecture (Civ and Env Engi) so I had to run. Run to get my Open Day bag. Up the multitude of staircases. God, there are so many stairs in UNSW and they're all steep. It's annoying. And it's wet, so you don't want to stack it, but you gotta be quick. Grabbed the bag, ran back down to Webster building to Civ and Env lecture with Michael Lee. The dude (lecturer) was fairly boring, he just told us that there's a lot more to engineering than you think and most things involve a civil engineer. Dur. We were walking out when Michael said, "WAIT! STOP!" He dashes to an unattended table with pens and post it pads. I grab a pen, booklet, and 3 post it pads (accidentally), but he grabs 2 or 3 pens and at least 5 post it pads. What a scabber.

Then we go to free fairy floss and popcorn. Free food! WOOOO! But it was raining and I don't even like fairy floss. I don't even know why I got it. Must've been 'cos it was free.
Michael went somewhere else whilst I went to Economics lecture. Basically, what I learnt from that lecture is that economists are economists for a selection of 3 reasons: Power, Money and Enlightenment. Power: WalMart CEO has a major in economics, The Terminator (cbf spelling his name) majored in eco. Mick Jagger majored in eco as well, how interesting. And then the lecturer went on to say: "Other people also major economics as well, they're just not so great, like Tony Abbott and Tiger Woods". I laughed. (Fun Fact: Economists earn $2100 a week (ABS, 2005), only second to dentists.)

Then... I went to Engineering Faculty lecture. It wasn't all that great, but one of the students said that he asked his friends how he should entice people to do Engi but they all said "Don't do it. Run away while you still can". I only stayed for 30 minutes because I had to go to a UNSW@ADFA lecture. Note, these aren't really a lecture, but more of an introductory speech, but I'll call them lectures anyway. It's in a lecture hall, close enough. Anyway, I saw Piranavan and we listened to the ADFA people. What I learnt from that talk is that I won't be applying for ADFA. I mean, the free education and salary (35k) is good and all, but I have to 5 years of service. DO NOT WANT. I'll be...28 when I finish. Not cool.

So, with ADFA crossed out, I found Martin, Jeffrey and Chris. Got have a 4 dollar and rather disappointing sausage roll. I was so hungry, so it had to suffice. We went to... um... the library. Oh yeah. We swang by to check it out but we couldn't be bothered. It was 10 levels. We went down to see if we could get into the Uni Archives but we couldn't. What a shame. It was weird, a couple followed us down. They must've been finding a place to make out/love. Because the Uni Archives are the best place to hide. Then Martin commented on how the Library was sexist because there were 2 female toilets in close proximity to each other but the male one was further away. Silly Martin. In the meantime, I was eating my chicken tandoori roll. The people don't know how to heat it/toast it. When I say I want it toasted, I imply I want it hot. I want the filling to be hot too. Idiots.
Anyway, we went to. Um. Somewhere. I think we went to Advisory centre, with Chris and Jeffrey, got some business books, got pens, got some rulers... I'm not exactly sure which order this was in. But I know I went off to Scholarships talk. Only got there in last 15 minutes, but I found out that applying for a scholarship takes a lot more effort than I thought. There's a lot of questions you have to fill in and stuff. It's probably really annoying. But I guess the money offsets it.

Next up, and last one, was Architecture with Wingki. Not much to it, but the students use Crysis in their projects. That's sorta cheating. And I concluded that engineers will hate architects. They make so funky buildings, they're not even plausible. Some person's project was an unfolding table from a pie sector and an elevator without a shaft. WTF. Stupid architects.

Then went to scab some more booklets and went home with Michael, Jeffrey, Kevin and Wingki. Stupid Michael, he's got like 8 pens, post it pads and 2 razors. WTF does he have 2 razors. He has > 5 kgs worth of free stuff but apparently Tsui has 10kg. I only have this much:And I hate it because 4 of the pens are black. Dislike black pens.

Anyway, Michael got us lost in the city. We were supposed to stop at Town Hall but we ended up near Circular Quay. Idiot. Then we walked/ran to Town Hall and were supposed to catch a free shuttle bus but it was more like we were chasing it. Then I left with Wingki to QVB for a bus back home , and that's when we saw McNicol. Apparently he doesn't have a driver's license. Well, whadaya know.

Basically, UNSW is pretty cool and pretty looking. Shame it was wet. There are usually butterflies and birds singing, so I've heard.
