Me and Milleh are back together again, honestly despite the diasterous weekend, we're sticking together. Things are pretty happy and I'm more then happy to be back together but once again these next two months will prove to be quite testing, I'll go into this a bit later.

Ended up picking up a shiny new award last week, picked up top accounting student of 2009, pretty happy with my achievement, it's nice motivation to keep going with my course. Sadly, my grades are somewhat surviving in uni, since I'm not touching a single accounting unit till next semester unfortunately, I'm a bit frustrated because I was over @ Alice's house earlier this week and told her I was going to be so much freer this month with so much out the way but uni has this frustrating habit of being non-existant to becoming overwhelming in a flash.

I have seen my fitness hit a major hurdle, my left knee seems to let go far too easily, I'm not sure exactly what seems to be the matter but when you feel the energy to run another 5kms and your left leg wants to explode, there is something very wrong, this is a very frustrating setback. x.X

I feel my social life shattering insanely again, I do realise that I have a need for a satisfying social life but I think I'm pretty far from this. It's stagnated into a bit of a downward spiral, getting a bit over of seeing Milleh's friends constantly (I don't have a problem with them, but there's something wrong with seeing them regularly and barely seeing many of my other friends). I'm getting extremely frustrated by far too many events getting in the way of being able to go out and have some pretty awesome nights to look back on.

The night out on the town with Julia is probably going to be the only and last chance for this to possibly happen in a long time, so it should be interesting to go all on out for this night. Other then this, I'm being bored to death by not hanging out with people with similar levels of motivation and commitment to work like myself, Josh and Kae definitely stick out as those who I would love to hang out with and are definitely people I'm relating to more these days. I think I'm finding far too much of unsatisfactory levels with others at the moment, being constantly criticised or being hard to relate to because I do too much. The reality is I just don't like being bored, so it's not a huge problem, until there is the problem of dealing with deadlines.

On a more positive note, I've had some pretty insane music finds this week, found industrial fused with ghetto, DDR references in an EBM track and even a pretty impressive industrial remix of Running Up That Hill by Placebo, it actually works. XD

First of all, I'm trying to edit my livejournal to put a background, but the background colour is overwriting it, (if you right click view background image on my plain image, you'll get a pretty interesting variant of the default windows desktop, ^^), anyone out there who can help?

I've sold out this week and am now on Facebook and Twitter, on top of my Myspace and Vampire Freaks accounts, twitter could be a nice distraction once more appear on there and I'm still using Myspace over facebook due to number but Facebook is proving to be more popular with people though.

I've recieved a lot of praise from my supervisors at my work @ ANZ, in regards to my performance at the job. It's always nice to get praise but the timing is very, very, very, very important. Considering that there is a good chance a few staff may be let go (and it'll be the temp staff like me obviously), this is

Gotten very addicted to Pokemon recently, god damn it, I forgotten how much fun those games are, yes, lets all point at Craig being such a geeky asian nerd, lol. Also need to catch up lots on the anime this weekend. As someone suggest in my Adelaide post, as I've heavily noticed recently, I'm proving to become very, very, very loved and seeming to find my home in the anime/cosplaying scene these days. I could go on and on about what this means, in short, I generally do not have to try hard and can make friends far more easily in this area I've noticed.

On that note, a very reliable source(s) inform there will be a DDR tournament this year, which should be very, very, very, very interesting. We've all had a mega whinge because holding the tournament on an old DDR machine is the equivilent of telling all the Formula 1 drivers that they have to do the next race in go karts. On that note I have more plans to get into shape heavily for this, I did 27kms of running the previous week and none this week thanks to a big weekend and illness, although hopefully this should change soon, it'll be a challenge to keep a good fitness schedule with TAFE coming in.

Having been stuck indoors and unable to do much this week, I've decided to learn how to make hair falls this week, it's proving to be a lot harder and more challenging then I thought but I've got the basic idea now. I'm not taking any orders or planning to make money off it any time soon, since it's more about having fun, experimenting and finding my own style. I'm just doing very basic dreads this week and messing around with a few colours and twists, I've got some really awesome ideas in regards to doing some falls with plastic, PVC and metal. I've been looking for a creative outlet for a while and this will prove to be a good one, watch this space, I'm aiming to have my first practise set done this long weekend.

Heard awesome news of a very interesting event that could be coming up next month, if the rumour is true, one of my favouritest DJ's at the moment might be coming to Perth, I'll announce it soon once it's true and not rumoured, ITG fans will obviously guess which one I'm obsessed with (no, it's not fucking discotronic!). For this event I'm aiming to have a pretty cool outfit, falls and I'm also hoping to teach myself a few new dance moves, either shuffling or breakdancing. Yes, it sounds a bit odd and bizarre, however, I'm pretty hyped with energy and making the move from ITG to proper dancing isn't tricky for me in what I've discovered this month.

In terms of musical news, I'm also hoping to do a few industrial mixes this weekend too, I've got a few lying around but they were a bit of a mess around (I went overkill on the special effects for experimentation) and am thinking about finishing them off properly, might get a few opinions out on whether or not they're worthy for Sin. Oh and more importantly I can beat match and stuff, none of this silly fade in and out within a few seconds. I've done this for some time because honestly I think it would be cool and fun to DJ @ Sin but my god I seriously don't have the inspiration to do this after all the industrial events I've seen last year, *inserts Apocalyptico by Presets and pushes shuffle*, would probably prove more popular then what I could do. *sigh*

Anyways, illness is not bringing down my mood, it's an important weekend, a much quieter one, way focused on me for once after the massive social outpooring into everyone last weekend. Speaking of last weekend, I leave you with pictures of the massive and crazy night from Sisen's perspective, I'm semi-famous, I'm on his myspace pics now, I is such a fanboi! XD

Was about 80% sure that I was pretty keen on leaving Perth when I wrote my last post. Make that around 95% now. It's either between Melbourne or Rotterdam, I'm not really going to say too much more about my decision until some more heavy research over the next few weeks.

Final tests for TAFE are on this week, shouldn't be much trouble, it's not too difficult, just a case of not fucking up, rather then really being tested. They printed off the whole summary of the unit on a few pages and told us the questions are going to be picked from some of our homework questions and the names will be changed and that's about it. The other two will be a bit trickier but not by much.

Weekend was interesting, unfortunately, it meant coming away from it with a bad addiction to Miley Cyrus and Toy-Box, damn Cassius and his USB Drive, these ITG meet ups are making me even more incredibly fit then ever, I swear which is awesome. There was also Global Gathering, interesting, Felix Da Housecat played an amazing set, Fischerspooner were a massive disappointment besides playing Emerge at the end and Sasha wasn't too bad but I didn't stay long before leaving till Birthday Massacre.

Birthday Massacre was awesome, I picked up some sweet custom pants that Josh made up for me and I"ll have pictures soon. Kept bragging to Kerry Anne that I'll be in the front row and well, I got the most perfect spot, I was in the front row, dead centre, had Chibi smile at me and one of the guitarists almost kicking me. Kerry Anne was awesome enough to join me as usual. Heavily dissappointed at all the people who crapped on to me about how The Birthday Massacre is the best band ever and never ended up coming, since they fucking rocked, one of the best concerts I've been to and I was really only into one of their songs a few weeks ago! Oh how they've won me over.

Oh and just to make some people jealous. ^^



Yeah, quite a few of you missed out. XP

Today was one of those days where I was hoping to go out and have a bit of fun and while on paper, going to fork over $90 on what I thought was a metal band way past it's time, oh boy, I ended up having one hell of a night.

I had a pretty shitty hair cut before hand (thanks to fast growing hair, I won't bitch too much about it for long) I caught up with Kerry-Anne, since she was the only person who I know who ended up wanting to see Korn (I mainly went for Chimera). The strangest thing was that my girlfriend gave this concert a miss, Amanda has been going on about if Chimera came to Perth (this being their only time in 10 years) how she would so be there but gave it a miss because 'she couldn't be bothered', *shrugs*.

Ignoring that, me and Kerry Anne hung out and became silly Asians, trying to eat at Formosa (the absolutely dreamy vegetarian, japanese restaurent atmosphere hybrid), failing them not opening up their kitchen we had other Asian food and Asian gamed with DDR, which was pretty close actually, no thanks to a busted up left hand DDR mat which requires uber stomping with heavy platform shoes/boots to register an arrow.

Ok, onto the concert, there were 5 bands and overall, I was impressed by the first two warm up acts as a good wait for Chimera and eventually Korn, both of us camped out and got some nice front row spots for the whole gig. Chimera came on and to be honest I was looking forward to this merely on recommendation then my own pure excitement but my god, I can see why Amanda had been going on about them. Very hard, heavy, energetic and just the sort of music that absolutely had me going crazy, awesome performance and possibly a great highlight this year.

Biohazard came on afterwards and despite the fact I looked like a Biohazard fan from my outfit, I was merely doing my semi "Soviet Russian Cybergoth impersonation", although I didn't have enough acid green to pull it off properly. Anyways, Biohazard ended up being my least favourite band of the night, they didn't exactly suck but their music didn't do too much for me or many others and it was merely just a pretty average filler for Korn, I always thought that it was a cool name for a cool band but their music wasn't far from interesting.....

Korn appeared on stage and it wasn't too long that I realised that they were actually a really great act contrary to all the negative stuff I've heard about Korn in my time, they certainly put on one hell of an amazing performance. We had an amazing spot to catch everything in the front row a bit off to the side hearing everything blasted loudly through the speaker on what was a pretty faultless set all up. Overall, it was awesome and I can easily say I felt that it was well worth the price of admission which I did question before showing up tonight.

Lots of fries and diet coke were had on the way home and catching up with Kerry Anne, easily one of my favouritest people certainly made it one of the best day/night I've had this year. I'll post pics up later. ^^

This is it, there is no more posting about preparing for things to change and all my nerves and thoughts about what is going to happen in life now, no more, it's basically starting, things are changing and I'm simply not thinking but now I'm officially doing and getting life going. ( Collapse )

The good and the bad of my life and the new transition of school, new work and single life.

I have DDR Supernova (European Version for PS2):
I have the American version although while it's a similar game it has different songs, has fewer pop songs and more of the proper DDR tracks, although one of the pop songs has the word 'minger' in it, I never thought that word would ever be said in a DDR game!

Leave Pay
$3000+, I'm probably one of the few people hoping for an interest rate rise, I've got my Wii, that's simply going in my savings account, I do need to spend it on anything and it'll sit nicely with 7%+ interest until I feel the need to take a holiday.

Job Trial
I have a job trial @ Fasta Pasta. It's not the best place, but it's a chance at a job I guess and this late it's all I need rather then being picky, it's nearby (even closer then Retro Betty's) and seems like easy work. Failing this, I have some really good back up options worth looking into.

Big Day Out
I bought my ticket whinging about how I'm paying all this money for RATM, funnily enough thanks to various friends and my own curiousity I'm looking forward to seeing quite a lot of bands now. Although I'm looking forward to Soundwave more.

Angelspit + BAAL
I know I mentioned it earlier but I'm seriously, so excited!!! ^^

WSPA
I'm now donating $40 a month to WSPA (World Society for Protection of Animals), it's a bit of money to pay but it's a great cause. ^^

Amanda
Long story, we've broken up again, well on a break anyways, read previous post

School
I'm looking forward to change but am nervous, less free time, less money, school books yet to be paid, not the most exciting course but it'll be worth it one day.

Stockmarket
So I was talking about how I had this brilliant plan in terms of investing my money, if I followed through with my plan last month I would have lost around 20% of my money, fuck you stockmarket crash. The good news, my money stayed in the bank though @ a nice high interest rate. XP

Black hair and piercings
Bye bye red hair, bye bye piercings (except the ear piercings), going to be sad to lose some of my ability to express myself, however, I'm going to try to make up for it with plans to rush my back tattoo soon and some neat surface piercings me thinks. ^^

F1
Basically Ferrari has generally been heavily favoured in every court and political decision, much to the disliking of a McLaren fan (Ferrari's main rival). The head steward (in charge of making vital race decisions) runs a PR firm, one of their customers is Ferrari...... Conflict of interest much?!


Postwhoring
I've been so busy and unable to make many posts on here, expect lots of posts, sorry. XP

That's the bizarre thing, atm, my moods seem to sway very heavily so despite my huge rant on how shitty everything was yesterday things are getting better. More people are coming to my birthday which is great, for some bizarre reason, it's pretty much as I'm predicting so thanks to those who are intending to come, I'm glad that I'm not going to be totally by myself at A23 now. Not everything has been great, I just saw The World According To George W. Bush and that made me utterly disgusted at the state of the world.

Today has been great, plenty of DDR and I'm slowly starting to master what is considered one of the holy grails and nightmares of the earlier DDR series and I might try to see if I can film it too this weekend. Tommorow will see a bit of an interesting day in regards to catching up with lots of friends, DDR, bubble tea and of course A23 as well. Anyways, getting lots of rest of tommorow, contemplating the idea of possibly pilling @ A23 for some bizarre reason actually...... XP
