Phantom Deli

2007-08-14T09:17:00.000+08:00

A while ago I went to a deli pretty late in the afternoon with a friend of mine. This deli had all the lollies I love to eat, and they were cheap too. I was driving around the area that I thought was were the deli was and I went looking for it, rather then finding it I got lost. I forgot about this deli for awhile, but then last night I had a dream about it, I went in bought the lollies I liked and then left. Of course when I woke up I was thinking to myself, "shit I haven't been back there yet!" However seeing as it was a dream I can't remember if my first encounter with this was a dream aswell. I'm pretty sure it wasn't but I've been wrong before...lots of times. Anyway i'm gonna go ring my friend and find out if I've finally just lost the plot. BRB

Weekendness

2007-08-08T14:33:00.001+08:00

To start my weekend I got the stitches taken out of my mouth, I saw the same girl there that I was hitting on after being drugged up. She also told me I tried to cop a feel (oops). So I gave her a bottle of wine to apologize. Next stop was my mate Konrad's house, he's been studying in Europe for the past 6 months so it was great to see him again.
I also got my car serviced and had a look at some imported cars. The shop that was selling them had a immaculate Nissan Cefiro which was already modified for $16k. There was also a plethora of Skylines and some sweet Toyota Supras. I tell you though that Cefiro was something special.
I also caught up with another mate who I don't see very often (usually when I service my car) since he lives out in that direction. We played CS together for the first time in YEARS, it doesn't take much time to get used to it again though.

I'm thinking of buying another computer again, with my mate Konrad back in town its gonna make it alot easier for me. I'm thinking dual core, 2 gig of ram, a nice gfx card hopefully I wont spend too much money.

No Power

2007-07-31T14:05:00.000+08:00

I was going to post yesterday but all the power points in my house died so my PC, 360, TV and appliances weren't working. A sparky came today and fixed everything up so the house is running sweet once again.

Now this sparky that got sent to my house was no ordinary electrician he was like a modern day prophet, he was very clued up about the world we live in and he told me some incredible things. It's amazing when someone changes and/or opens your eyes to the world, and to come from someone from a humble profession its even more incredible.

I got my wisdom teeth out today, Its not as bad as everyone says it is. The only thing I remember is Getting a Needle in my arm, waking up in a green sofa, then getting in the car and waking up in my bed, so about 3/4 of my day is missing. At least I woke up in my bed...(this time)

I still left that drawing at work, I saw it in my locker and though to myself "Ah! gotta take that home" and then I left it in the locker. :(

More soon.

I went Shopping

2007-07-25T12:55:00.000+08:00

I bought a watch today from a store in the city called Family. It used to be called Fiasco and was located underground in Carillion city arcade. Now its in Murry Street, Shop 3&4, 357, go check it out they got some pretty cool stuff. Anyway this is the watch I bought:

Casio A158W

It seems to be one of those timeless classic kinda things, also its really comfortable I've never worn a watch until now because they always irritated me. Its also apparently quite rare in Australia.

I also bought a shirt from Pulse which has a kick ass picture of a Samurai / Archer character on it:

Minamoto

Now y'all know where my moneys going >.<

Good-bye Teef

2007-07-24T12:54:00.000+08:00

I am getting my last wisdom teeth out this Friday, which is unfortunate because I wont be working, which also means I wont be getting money. I've been wanting an LCD TV for awhile and I went to the shops with my friend on Monday to go check out whats available I always had the intention of buying a Sony Bravia but my friend enlightened me to TCL, Though the brand sounds dodgy I believe the panels are made by LG plus 3 year warranty is a lot better then the usual one.
I missed out on ice skating this weekend because I couldn't drag my ass out of bed, but you can't blame me. I wake up in time I just can't move my body. Next time I'm gonna slip out of bed and land on the floor so I have no other choice but to get up, unless I feel like sleeping on the floor.
I drew something pretty cool at work but I forgot to bring it home so I'll upload it on Thursday when I get back from work.

My guitar playing is getting much more fluid which is a good sign I suppose, I'll need to get a book though instead of trying to do things by ear because it takes longer.

Peace.

I only wear 1 type of pants, jeans thats all. I got a bit bored and started thinking of different kind of pants; jeans, tracksuit pants, suit pants. I figured i already got like 3 pairs of jeans and I have suit pants, no track pants though but they are too casual to wear outside. While I was visiting Hypebeast I came across this article and the last image had a pair of pants, not too casual and not too formal "What kinda of magical pants are these!?" Later I found out they well called Chinos from a work colleague, so after my work shift I went and bought some. They are awesome, really comfortable and like I said they aren't too casual or too formal. So If you find yourself wearing jeans all the time maybe you should go buy some chinos.

My Guitar learning is going well, I figured out how to play the intro part to Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes! I was so happy when I figured it out. Now I gotta learn the rest >.<

I got a Guitar!

2007-07-14T17:16:00.000+08:00

I was planning on buying an electric guitar today with my first Hilton paycheck. So my Dad and I set off to Kosmic sound to go purchase one. When we got there the guy told us what we needed to start playing and we looked around and got a decent setup. As he was tallying the products my Dad pulled out his wallet and threw his bank card down. I couldn't believe it, my Dad was buying me my first guitar.
It seems so proper, anyway I really appreciate my Dad, even when he isn't buying me stuff, so I think I'll make it up to him by playing him some music when I don't suck anymore :P

Anyway I might make a section on my progress as time goes by.

Stay tuned.

ZOZOWALKER

I can't read Japanese but the flash banner up the top of the site is very impressive.
If you can't figure it out, its got a bunch of people (probably zozowalker staff) walking through a street. When you click on a person it follows them, also you can pan across the street using the fastforward or rewind buttons on either side of the banner.

LESBIANS

I thought youtube had some sort of filter to get rid of this kinda stuff. HUZZAH! for me

Gameology 0.1

2007-07-11T16:21:00.000+08:00

Ok I decided to make a section about gaming and its called Gameology!!!11~

Anyway today I'm gonna kick off with Saint's Row, now before you just regard it as a GTA clone knock off I urge you to give it a shot. Its alot of fun, the story is very interesting the characters are lovable and the graphics and physics are top notch. The car customization is really cool too, you can customize any vehicle apart from like dump trucks and emergency vehicles. Player customization is also very deep, you can change just about anything on the face, then you can purchase different clothes for your character. I found myself thinking after I finish a mission, OMG whats gonna happen next then!? and so I kept getting sucked into it untill like 3 am when I realize what time it is. As for multiplayer I've heard some really good things about it but I havne't had a chance to activate my gold membership yet to give it a try.

I'll update this when I get a chance.

Cars are a big deal in sandbox type games, because its no fun running 20 miles to get somewhere. SR fortunatly has a plethora of exotic, sports, emergency, luxury and standard vehicles, all of which are customizable (except emergency vehicles), not like NFS games or anything but more so then San Andreas.

I'd give it about 7.5/10. Its got a few bugs here and there but its a solid game.

Job Update 0.2

2007-07-10T16:43:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the late update for those of you who read this. I've been working for a fortnight now, and I get my paycheck tomorrow or Thursday.

Last week of work was really quite interesting;
I opened a car door for Australian biggest loser winner Adro and yes he has kept the weight off and looks good.

I hailed a cab for Former West Coast Star Glen Jackovich, which was pretty funny because I didn't realize it was him until he got in the cab, I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I had a first day welcome today which was really cool, I met all the newish staff of the Parmelia Hilton. I met a cute Korean girl but of course she had a boyfriend :( too bad I guess.

A pimp came into the concierge area with a girl for one of the guests and he was trying to be discreet about it by whispering to me about what was happening, I couldn't hear a single word he said so I said "Pardon sir I can't hear you." he mumbled a bit more, still couldn't hear what he was talking about. "Sorry sir I can't hear you", he mumbled a few more words and I managed to make out "I have a girl for room ***".

"OOOOOOOOOOH! i see...."

I got to drive a Porsche Carrera aswell which was a notable experience. The valet part of working in concierge is definitely the best thing evah!

Me if I was in the Simpsons.

Thats all I have to report for now,

Thanks for dropping by.

Today I decided to setup my PC to stream media to my 360 and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner, however I'm having some problems with streaming my videos. I got one working but one out of like 200 is pretty bad, so I'm gonna work on fixing that.

I heard from one of my referees that the Hilton called him, so at least I know they are doing something. I really want this job, not because I need money but because it seems like a fun job.

I'm learning a new way to colour in photoshop, I haven't mastered it yet but I'm getting better, I'm doing my old trick of starting a piece and then about half way though just close it and not save it. If my friend Ross found out he'd be pissed. Anyway back to trying to figure out how to stream movies.

Pees.

Missed DX

2007-06-19T10:13:00.000+08:00

Sorry missed an update, my excuse is that I was playing Saint's Row.

On Saturday of last week I was at a 26th Birthday party, the birthday girl is a beautiful woman who threw a pretty awesome party. Needless to say I got FUBARed and my friend had to take me home. I think we've both established that about 5 drinks is enough for me. I had a glass of Champagne, 5 Jack & Cokes and 2 Jager-bombs. I say this every time I get hung over but I don't think I'm going to be able to look at alcohol for at least 3 months now.

Yesterday I rang the Parmelia regarding the position I applied for, and spoke to the head concierge (the guy who did my second interview) he said they were still fine tuning the selection but he said I should know by wednesday (sounds familiar).

I've been contemplating buying Live for 360 for about a month now, and I think I will, I want to try Crackdown Co-Op and see what Saint's Row is like multi-player, from what I've heard it sounds like alot of fun. Also I have R6 Vegas which should be pretty cool multiplayer.

Something Everyone Should Watch

2007-06-14T22:34:00.000+08:00

This is something I think every one should watch

Also I was bored so I changed the layout a bit.

Not much to report today, I'm getting a call sometime this week to confirm whether I got the Parmelia Hilton job or not (I had a second interview last week on Thursday). My friend is making a movie and I star as the bad guy, when he gets a website up for it I'll link it to you. Its just a home movie made with friends with some crazy antics, also theres no script so you know its gonna rock.

I saw this image and though I should share it. I don't know why, but I find it quite humorous.

Why being really lonely is sometimes super awesome

2007-06-04T11:58:00.000+08:00

Not much to talk about this week really, I got a few cool links to share though,
First: Microsoft Surface
I have to say this looks incredible its amazing to see how far technology has come.

Second: Male Restroom Etiquette
If you ever have to see a man about a horse, these tips could one day save your life.

I've recently finished watching the first series of Dexter. I must say its quite macabre, but it starts to grow on you after a couple of episodes, and I must say the twist at the finale is incredible.

I'm still waiting on that call from the Parmelia Hilton, I hope they haven't forgotten about me, I think it would be a awesome job to have.

Anyway thats all for now, thanks for reading.

Friday
Last Friday I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. I also got some bad news that my Grandma in India past away, it was in her sleep so it was peaceful, and she had a good and long life, she was 93.

I had a job interview that morning at the Parmelia Hilton, as I stated in my last entry. I think it went well hopefully I'll get the job.

Saturday & Sunday Morning
I was out all night on Saturday until 4 am Sunday morning, I started at Box Deli, a very classy lounge / bar / restaurant located in on Hay St. in Perth's CBD near QV1.
I then met up with a friend from TAFE and his posse. They took me to "The Deen" a club in Northbridge on Aberdeen St. After getting stared down, having a cute girl play with my hair and a couple of drinks we then went back into Perth, to wait for a friend to come by.
I drank 2 liters of Water because I consumed a lot of alcohol. Still waiting for this friend to come by, the water was taking its toll on my bladder, It had been about 30 minutes and I really needed to go. Our friend finally caught up to us, and gave us a ride back into Northbridge. There were 6 of us and Cars usually only sit 5 people so I had to lie on top of everyone in the back, which was incredibly uncomfortable seeing as I still needed to use the toilet at this point. I was also subject to a volley of 'gay' jokes.

So the car is parked and we start heading to The Paramount
When we finally get in I head straight to the restrooms, I just felt like Duke Nukem when he uses the toilet "Ahhh, much better"
At this point I'm dog tired I've done nothing but walk, drink and pee (and a little bit of dancing)
I head home and hit the sack.

Sunday Afternoon
I'm barely awake at this point, I have a deep and meaningful talk with my mate who's house I was staying at for the night, We go get some lunch from Nando's I swear they make the best tasting chicken. Getting home I zone out for awhile.

Thus concludes my weekend.

Something I did last week.

I've decided I want an iPhone
I really wanted an iPod and a really good Phone just never had enough spare money to buy either. Now that theres gonna be a combo of both I'm willing to save for one.

Weird Day

2007-05-21T18:00:00.000+08:00

Today was a really strange day for me, I had a lot of stuff happen today, some of it good, and some of it not so good.
First thing that happened today was I went in to "Centracare", in Northbridge because they are running a program to get all people some experience in their desired work field and also to place them after that. I hadn't heard much about it or had made a decision to join up, but I got some brochures and I'm going to read them when I feel like it.
I got a message from my friend (I had texted him in the early morning to discuss some personal problems) While waiting for him at the train station I got bitten by a spider, I though to my self "This is a pretty bad omen". After a few minutes I get a call from a lady from the Parmelia Hilton saying that I have a job interview scheduled for 9:00am Friday. My day just got a little better. As per my previous blog entry I think it would be an interesting job.
Now my friend makes it into town and we discuss some issues that has been plaguing us for awhile, I am not happy with what happened, I wish it hadn't, but from now on I'm going to let people know when I'm unhappy about something. I'm the kind of person would will say "everything is fine" to keep the peace, and it has been building up for at least a decade, and there's no telling when I may snap due to all of it. So I'm not going to be afraid to tell people what I think.

After dropping my friend back at his house, I went to visit another friend of mine since I was in the neighborhood, I stayed at his place for awhile trying to forget about the conversation I had with my other friend. I got to play WoW again for the first time in like 4 months and really not much has changed since the expansion so I'm not really missing anything. We watched a couple of movies as well, Deja Vu and Avatar.

Deja Vu wasn't bad at all it was quite different to be honest and it kept my friend and I guessing through the whole movie, We had about 20 theories of what would happen, and they were all wrong...until the 50th one anyway.

Avatar was just not good at all, it was like a shitty matrix rip off and just plain horrible, I recommend that you never even consider watching this.

So the reason this day was wired is because things when bad and then good, so I guess I would call it an average day, but will stuff actually happening...if that makes sense.

Something I did today (Click to Enlarge)

Bailey's Bastion of Art, the Aegis against the Legions of Visual Tenebrosity

2007-05-14T14:37:00.000+08:00

I was browsing through the pages of the employment section of this weekends newspaper and all I can see is people wanting experienced people to join their company. I can understand why this is the case but with out people to give newly graduated students a chance to show what they can do how are these people to get the experience?

I signed up to seek.com.au which is probably the best thing I've done all week...well definitely the first thing I've done all week since its Monday. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, anyhow I applied for a job as a porter working for the Parmelia Hilton, the hours are pretty harsh 11:30pm - 7:00am but I can take it, plus its a chance to live out my "Las Vegas" stage I'm in. I swear I'm addicted to that show.

I recently acquired the OSTs of the Cowboy Bebop anime series, which I must say is amazing, I have a new found love for the Blues and Jazz.

CHINOIR (Chi-noir)

I made this at my mates house the idea was mine but the art belongs to him

Also I think all narutard should check this out, I'm pretty sure its a fake but its a damn good idea. I'd definatly pay to play that.

FunTwo

2007-05-02T23:10:00.000+08:00

So tonight I'm browsing YouTube and I stumble onto this amazing video of a guy name Jeong-Hyun Lim (goes by the online alias FunTwo) playing an electric guitar. About 20 seconds into the video it seems fairly regular but then a sudden change in the music, 30 seconds I'm thinking to myself this is pretty good, at 50 seconds my eyes are watering because of the sheer coolness of this music.

Heres a link to the video.
