March 29 Bffl?Wow, 2 blog posts in 2 days=P So I just got home from le centre ville and my kind little Ipod decided to play a song that I have not heard in a VERY long time! This was because I was stuck at Richmond station for 20 extra minutes at like 11ish! Anyways, it made me start thinking...hmm, I wonder if I am exactly the same as I was back then or I wonder how much has 'actually' changed? The short answer is NO and it is really amazing when you look back at it and see how much you have grown and learnt as a person=) Cheesy, I know but oh well and hey I had a spare 20mins=P By the way that song was 'Blind' by Lifehouse=P Significance? It was significant in my life before, but now it is just a passing memory. A small little speck that you acknowledge but look past=) Anyways, this lead me to further contemplation. When you tell someone they are your bffl or vice versa, DO NOT do it unless you really mean it because, let's face it, circumstances change and what you said before will not carry into the immediate future. Really, really, at the bottom of your heart, mean it! I don't know why I just mentioned that, guess I am just tired=P I could go into this more...NAH=P haha C'est le conseil de Nick pour ce soir;) Wow, I talk about the past too much! So FUTURE time haha! Took a much needed break tonight from work that is still bogging me down=D Headed out to the city=) Did not actually see the effects of Earth Hour much... What else? Looking forward to the Easter break coming up which will give me more of an opportunity to catch up with my good mates=) Also, handed in my application form for this volunteer thing (I wonder if I'll get it?) Well I'm up against 150-200 applications apparently! I hope you guys are all well..., not many people read this so to all those who do read it...hope you are awesome! Nick March 28 CertaintySo I had this realization last night at about 12ish....=P Well, it was not really a realization. Just a thought or inkling or whatever. And, I like my law analogies. *Now for the boring bit* Anyways, you know when you have a contract. One of the essential elements is 'Certainty'. Now, courts will not enforce a contract between parties if the terms of a contract are not clear and certain for all parties. ie: you cannot go 'I will buy this house from you for around $300 000 to $500 000 and I might throw in something extra, as consideration, if I'm nice, but I do not know what?' Now courts have the power to SEVER a term from a contract if the contract can still function in its entirety without the term. This is just an 1/16 of Certainty. There are exceptions but we do not need to go into those! Now, if the only things you picked up were 'Sever' and 'still function', you have done a fantastic job! And you have learnt some law=P And if that made no sense to you whatsoever, just look at some status updates on facebook as 'some people' have status' that like being ambiguous ......And some people, have blogs that are partially 'ambiguous' but you can pick up their 'true' meaning. Anyways, I am off on my tangential spiral down to nothingness! Finally taking a break from all this work tonight and heading into town=D Oh and finally, 'Eh, eh, there's nothing else I can say.....' It feels alot like that sometimes.... Nick=) P.S: 'Effort'.......c'est un concept tres simple yet..... March 23 Sick of it!!So, I have a new blog but no one reads it! So I'll shove em up here too
I know no one reads this so I feel like having a rant!=P An annoyed rant=P
You know, there comes a time in your life, or multiple times, where you're like 'Why do I bother with something...?' You have to constantly and consistently ask yourself, 'Hmm, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing..?' And quite frankly, you move a step forward and it just feels like you keep getting knocked back so in the end, it essentially leaves you disheartened to do anything else or want to do anything else, even though you try. And when you end up doing something 'nice' or 'good' or even 'horrible' it ends up being 'Why am I doing this/Why do i bother...?' I now see the viewpoint that some people in the police force take. That you do something important, trying to do good, but hardly get recognised. Now in a hypothetical situation Party B would not understand no matter how much you emphasise this point. But then again, Party A 'might or might not' see the viewpoint of Party B. Or chooses to see 'other things' instead of the main thing. Or is just plain selfish? I don't know, and I'm not going to read into it! In the end, I guess you just stick with it hoping to break out of this stupid stupid cycle of doom....!! Well it is not that severe...it just a horrible cycle which likes to repeat itself CONSTANTLY... By the way, this has nothing to do about choosing Law. It's fun=) 'A Peppercorn can buy the world...' Mark Davison And yes it can, if you play your cards through 'consideration' correctly! Seriously this guy is an awesome lecturer! I haven't found anyone else as entertaining yet. Mind you my French culture person seems to be terribly interested in Prostitution in Paris in the 19th century. Today, I learnt that the lights (a symbol of the vibrance of Paris) of the street, illuminated the prostitutes so you could see them better...I'm still questioning why I am doing this subject? Anyways, I've had my rant! Moving on...Life is good! Catching up occasionally with the people who you really care about makes a massive difference. Whether they know it or not. Seriously, there is mountains of reading to be done on Consideration, Intention, Certainty and so forth but you really come to appreciate the time you get off/the times you can just let your brain wonder. Like now, hence why I wrote the first bit....because I have let my brain wonder into the abyss of thinking and that is not a good place to be..... I'm tired....so nightsky! Too much thinking for 1 night...=P Nicksta February 24 Who said TV doesn't teach you anything?Who said TV doesn't teach you anything? Can you guess where these are from?
These writers must know what they are talking about somehow.....from experience maybe? hmmm...
Ted: ".....*insert context here* your mind tends to exentuate their flaws"
(Ted to Robin) "And we realise, we don't have a damn thing to say anymore"
Ted: "You just feel like everything you say is going to make it worse...."
(Ted to Robin) "maybe we pretend to be because it would be inconvenient not to"
Robin: "Maybe we should stop pretending..."
Ted: "You see, 'Friendship' is an involuntary reflex...it just happens, you can't help it"
Season 3, 'How I met your mother': Case and Point
This might be complete jargon, but if you can make sense of it, then you'll have learnt a thing about friendship lol...it's 'ex citing'!
Anyways, off to uni tomorrow! Yay, Arts on Wednesday and Law on Thursday. Bought a permit for the year so going to be driving. Yay, no more early morning 'full' Connex train rides to the city! You can tell I'm excited, since I've already written this in old blogs lol! Oh well, I'll have to deal with traffic jams this year. I also learnt today that the 631 (5mins) also goes directly there...hmmm....
So I went to visit the magistrates court last week, since we have that assignment to do, and the amount of cases involving 'theft', 'drink driving' or what not, is quite amazing. And everyone has a different story....The amount of cases a magistrate deals with quite amazing!
Although, (let's call him person A) had the plea "I thought my ex girlfriend was pregnant so I took drugs and drove to her house." For future reference..that didn't work! Actually it was just adjourned, so who knows?
What else has been happening? I'm unemployed again, yay? Although, I have saved up quite a bit to last me a while
Looking forward to next week, off to camp
I'm bound to have something to say again soon...wow, uni starts again next week! It's been ages...my brain has slowly melted during the holidays, yet there's nothing 'wrong' at the moment and hopefully it stays that way
Until le prochaine fois,
Nick February 17 Trip O/Sea's 09!!So, I went overseas and some of you are probably wondering what I did there!
Well..just ask!!
That is all...
Geez, I have stacks of stuff to do before uni starts! Went to Lise' gathering today so that was good fun
So what's been going on? I need news! What have I missed?
Nick
P.S: So I just got back to dinner and I am getting used to the serving sizes again
Haha, my cousin said the funniest thing in the car..she's like 'when it comes to appearance you're 100% asian, but when it comes down to culture I don't know if it's 50/50 anymore? Is it 80/20?'...or something along those lines...so growing up here has been alot different then how they grew up. Obviously, the way Dad's bro brought up his kids were alot different than how he brought me up.
Which brings me to my next point about CHOICES! You know, it's really scary each choice you make! I'm more of a 'live for the moment' and deal with what's to come when you get there. However, the CHOICES you make in life are extremely scary! If Dad had not made that decision when I was 4, alot of things would be different now! and I mean ALOT!
And the next point is OPPORTUNITIES! We are so lucky to live here! Going back made me realise that even more! Yeah, we do have high taxes but they pay off in the end. In Malaysia, if you have no money, you'll be begging on the street and selling coupons and tissues. They won't help you at all. Well, not only there. Of course there are other countries.
I saw a 2 year old girl, about the 2nd last night, she had constant oxygen or something hooked up to her so she could survive. When you see these things, it really has an impact on you! I know by writing this down it might actually seem like nothing but when you actually see these things it really does!
Funny how my blogs always turn to something deep lol
Nick encore une fois! January 30 Signing off for a while!=DSo I'm watching the Nadal and Verdasco match! Not too bad so far
Anyways, I thought I'd blog once more before I head off because I do not know if I'll have access to the internet there! And why would I write a blog when I'm chilling o/seas lol! I will have my phone though so feel free to text and say hi
So yesterday, technically I was officially a Monash and Melbourne student. Today, no more haha
The rest of the day was fun! We were escaping the heat lol, which was not very easy in the city! 'Meh'...Myer was alright while it lasted
So yes, leaving on a flight tomorrow at midnightish (technically it's sunday) but anyways. Yeah, if I haven't told you yet I
a)have not spoken to you at all or
b) reverse!
Cannot wait...have to finish packing tonight though! Although, I'm not going to pack much since I'll probs be buying it down there! *clue* Obviously, I'm not going to some expensive place...
I'll shove some photo's up when I get there and you'll have to guess 'where in the world is Nick Kong?' hmm? Well, I've already told some of you already..dammit
And with that, I bid you laterz!
Nick
P.S: When did it change to 'Birds eye' instead of 'Hawk eye'???
January 26 Are you drunk???So I bumped into my boss today at Clayton, as she was shopping after her shift, which was quite funny.....
Apaprently, only 3 customers went to Nando's for the whole morning...bugger, I should have picked up morning shift
'Meh', she had enough drunk people over at her place the other night/morning..same thing!
Haha, I'm going to work now...I wonder what conversation topics are coming up! Sooo....how was the vodka....lol
And with that Goodbye again
Busy week this week and 2morrow is the last day I don't have anything on until you know...The other days are busy busy!
Nick
5 DAYS! It's 2.25AM (Geez, I need better titles lol=P)Good Morning Everyone,
You know, I always said I wrote blogs when I'm tired so this is another one of those times! Just got back from our little Nando's celebration which went on for quite some time...
Haha, I just realised this blog is exactly like a diary...when I look back at this when I'm hmm 30 or so, I'm going to laugh
Anyways, this blog is about our little gathering. Had a Barbie at the boss' place which started at 9.30pm incidently. What a late time to have a BBQ! So there was food, Why not? Funnily enough, her husband bought 3 bottles of Vodka for the night which I find extremely funny. 'OMG, the bottle of vodka is gone'...Allez Ooop, another one pops up!
Unfortunately, some people had to drive (Ferdy and Me) so none for us! Anyways, it was good fun..regardless! You don't have to drink, to have fun
Extremely funny to see one of our managers wasted....lol
And, I don't know whos idea it was to play drinking games lol...
I'm going to end on a reflection before I collapse on my laptop! A year ago or 2 ago, I would not be writing as much as I am on this blog now b/c it would probably 'nick is concerned about...' ''nick is worried about...etc. etc.' nick is studying..', (especially last year WTF lol) now I'm finding stuff to fill my days which is awesomo
And with that NIGHTSKY! Updates galore, so I do not have to tell you that this will be updated again soon
'Nick Nick Nickelodeon'...inside joke... January 23 More news? Already? haha=PGeez, I've been updating this stacks lately haha! I wonder if anyone else updates their blog as much as I do.
This blog is going to make use of 'better' grammer,since i'm going to need it...or not
So, I had to go into Monash Uni today. It took me 10 to 15mins from mine which is not that long, actually! So probably, on a massive traffic day, it'll probably be around 30mins! Anyways, I had to go in for a pre-enrol session where they throw information at you and expect you to absorb as much as you can. I got most of it, the important stuff. The other stuff I tuned out on.
I managed to find my way around Monash before getting there...it's alot different to Melbourne, obviously! Ended up finding a 3hour parking bay and forking out $6 lol! I'm going to see if there's an easier place to park rather than fork out on a blue parking permit. But...I am glad I do not have to take a Connex train as much as I had to last year
Anyways, I have an assignment, ALREADY
Oh yeah, I'm going on Camp....again
Oh, and went out to Dinner Time last night with Izi, James, Ams and me. Thanks for coming and replying..unlike some who I am not following up on anymore. It was my day off and I still got bombarded with a million nando's questions. Give me a break
Finally, I won $20 in that 15 million draw haha! Ended up walking out with a 30cent profit though. That is the extent of my gambling lol. So technically, I've lost 70 cents so far gambling...$1.00 on the 1cent pokies at Crown and winning 30cents back in Tattslotto. That is the extent of maths I am willing to do haha!
Anyways, I have a mountain of stuff to organise/do so I'll be leaving you! Hope you guys are going awesomely! Trust me, I'll update you again soon because I am sure something interesting will come up!
A+
Nick
Et un autre message apres mon boulot ce soir
P.s: In light of this pseudonym system that I will 'possibly' be using, and as I am very tired after work and random, I have decided that I will not mention anything relating to 'Person A' anymore, or minimate (haha, is that a word?) it, as there has been WAY TOO MUCH relating to 'Mrs Jones' in this blog over the years... Seriously, look back about 2 yearsish or so and see what I wrote...hence 'Ms Smith' will not be getting a mention anytime soon from here and NOW......
In conclusion 'Bleugh'
Nightsky
January 20 HELLOO! Randomness Update! (Tuesday 20th January)Hellooo!
Since everyone seems to be updating their blogs more often, I thought I would contribute to the blogging sphere and add to the technoscape around the world!
Anyways, NEWS! That's what blogs are for hey! So, i spent the whole of sunday night thinking what Monday would bring...! And then I spent monday morning and avo going hmmm..i wonder what's going to happen
a)Oh noes! No offer...'meh' I'm still in a BA at Melb with a Dip in French
b) Hmm...offer for Int Studies/Law at Deaks
c) Offer for Arts/Law at Monash
So guess what...for those keeping up with my Facebook status updates, I'm sure you already know! Got an offer for Arts/Law at Monash...so hmmm, should i take it?
After some helpful advice from certain ppl i think it's the best bet unless something drastically changes my mind in the next couple of days.
So..
a) I'm not going to be hearing any more Monash is better than Melbourne crap from Al at dinner time anymore b/c we'll have nothing to argue about...
b) I won't get asked...i counted 30 times this year, 'Oh, you live in Clayton South...why don't you go to Monash?' lol
c) It's an opportunity, so I'd be stupid not to take it!
Which brings me to my next point of ENTER scores! NOBODY CARES after a year in! I think, in the paper, you had to get 98 something to get into arts/law at monash this year. Seriously, go to the uni you really want to, do 'not bad' or 'the best you can'...i sure didn't work as hard as I did in VCE. My ex can vouch for that
And i might hear you say..OMG, Nick wasted his first year at Melbourne and has to do it all over again! At the moment, I'm just like 'meh'! If i can get credit for what I did 'yay'...if i can't 'oh well'..i can do it again! Seriously, it's no biggie...not fussed at all! Although, Contract Law for 2 semesters hmmm...! How does Contract Law take 2 semesters?
And as for results...the highest i ever got last year was an 80 which was for Business Law haha...yellow power as Al or CVP would say!
So, all in all..2009 is going swimmingly!
So yes, if you need legal advice in the near future...feel free to ask
Oh, and heading to the Open tomorrow with Soph and Sam! I've actually never been so it'll be good..and it's not too hot either
Anyways, lots to process lol. I wonder if you've kept up lol. Until next time or more news lol,
Nick January 09 CrownI'm bored...so blog
Might try to get 'How I met your mother' today...geez it's always sold out! That was my random comment of the day! Oh and we have 'employee of the month' at Nando's, starting from this month, for 2 free movie tickets...yay?
Anyways, if you're ever at Crown or Crown Towers, I recommend that you head to a Japanese restaurant called 'Koko's' which has tepanyaki and what not! It's expensive but you have to try it at least once!
Had to go for this small dinner party thing, to celebrate s/o turning 1 b/c it's oh so important, and it was awesome...we had like 10 courses or more...i lost count lol but it was SOO MUCH! It started with raw wagyu beef and ended with coffee lol! in the middle was random things like sea urchin and sushi/sashimi and green tea icecream and stacks more! It was awesome!
Oh, and I recommend that the moment you have MORE money than you put in, in crown, you LEAVE lol! don't put more in lol! oh well, i only lost $1 that night on the 2 cent pokies haha!
2009 is still going awesomely, its still early days (we're only umm 9 days in lol) yet but looking much better than 2008
And with that 'a tout a l'heure' et je vous tous parlerai bientot! x
P.S: Drop into Nando's on clayton road...you know want to haha January 04 Happy New Year!! Bring it on 2009=PHeyo Everyone,
Who isn't glad that 2008 is over? Does anyone miss it yet? Well guess what, It's 2009 *duh*...sooo...live it up!
Hoping that this will be an awesome year filled with lots of 'stuff'. What that 'stuff' is...well I guess i'll have to write again at the end of the year and tell you! Anyways, I'm in a blogging mood so Blog Time and as CVP would say "NO"!
Wednesday 30th was fun! It involved TGI's and making 'new foods' and funny how all that started with 'I wonder what Tartae Sauce and Tomato Sauce taste like together?' Would you like a refill? NO!
Benjamin Button went for 3 hours but is highly recommended by moi...it was nice. Saw the short story by Fitzpatrick today...how did you make a movie that long with a story that short..! Matt..smile...
Thursday 31st (NYE). Well, what can I say! The big close to the year that was, was at Ams'. Thanks for coming Sophie, it was fun!
Some thngs to keep in mind...
Well I'm bored so the WRITING stops now! Until next update, LIVE IT UP!...haha maybe that should be the slogan of 2009 November 22 Le metaphor du train (Une nouvelle blog)Here's some wise words from Nick and you'll only understand if you speak French!
Wow, funny the things I've learnt/picked up in this last year! It's nearly the end too
It just felt like yesterday when we were coming back home from rosebud or when it was new years after our venture into the crowded city.
Anyhoo, I stole these lines from somewhere! And to avoid plagirism, which I've learnt all about in 1st year uni, let's throw in some quotation marks haha!
"On posa une voie ferree dans les Alpes entre Vienne et Venise avant qu'il n'exist un train adapte a ce voyage."
"On la posa quand meme." "On savait que le train existerait un jour."
"Si j'avais pris un autre direction, je ne serais pas la, je serais differante." "D'incroyable choses peuvent arriver, meme sur le tard" "Quelle belle surprise."
And that's life....
Until laterz
Nick
P.s: Haha, major in crim, international studies and a diploma in french maybe (4 years doing art)...let's see where this gets me. Still gotta wait on VTAC offers too and i can FINALLY plan this stupid exchange after exams+something else at the start of next year maybe hehe.... October 29 Update!For those who were expecting another random rant or blog from Nick....too bad!

I've been working...ALOT! Yeah, virtually been doing 5 nights every week so my el nando's cooking skills are getting tops
I've also had stacks of uni work on so virtually I have no social life for the moment....apart from the mini things and my mates keeping me sane (thanks to you!

Anyhoo, went to visit Deaks again (Deaks=Deakin) on Thursday to 'visit'...no, I had to go there for 1 reason and 1 reason only.....ah well....long story (well not really)....It was a nice day anyhoo and I don't think I could drive to deaks everyday if I ended up going there next year
Well, if only Melbourne uni lines were that short to get tix to stuff...there was no one there so just went to grab em! Familiarised myself with the surroundings...I know where building P and the library is
That was my adventure to Deakin....
Well Friday, what did I do? hmmm?

I can't be bothered anymore...just ask me about it...
nightsky x
p.s: If you find the song that best desribes me atm...A COOKIE TO YOU!!
September 24 My life in the ocean=PI didn't know what to name this blog..quite obviously
I just know I don't update it is as much anymore....I guess I've been 'busy' like some would say (or say alot.....)
What's been going on? If anyone cares? hmmmm?
Well, since 'Glow in the Snow', not much really...! *pft* didn't i use to say that all the time...'what did you do on the weekend?'...'nothing..' 'fun....' Oh, there was that day where we went iceskating and other random things which I'm going to throw into this blog (like throwing things on superpoke).
Ice Skating
Yes, you did miss out if you weren't there...especially to 2 ppl who never replied...bastards! Haha, I used to write a blog about what I did each day. Anyhoo, for iceskating Jenn and Soph rocked up at mine before. Gave the grand tour of my house lol! Said 'Hi' to Lassie who loves meeting new people! Quite obviously
Then we headed over to Olympic Iceskating and met James up there. What happened next WELL, some people are able to glide gracefully on the snow, whilst others can't....comme moi, have to get into the 'rhythm' and try to keep away from mr wall! Give me a break, it was my 2nd time after France.....and even in France I had someone help me by dragging me around the ring
Anyhoo, it was fun and falling over doesn't actually hurt that much...except for iceburn. Fell over twice which was the most out of everyone there...ah well. 2nd time soph pushed me off balance...excuses excuses lol! soph actually didn't fall once.
Anyhoo, next extreme sport we're organising for us to do is either 'Surfin with Sof' or 'Rock climbing'
Then just headed back to mine and caught 'Goldeneye' which went till the early hours of the morning. Gotta love late late movies when ure falling asleep lol!
What else?
Hmmm....Catch up sess' with Lise on Thursday have been fun over at uni
It all started with that 'Oh, let's go out for chocolate day'
Anyhoo the week after, we decided to go for Gelato goodness the week after over at Lygon. That gelato place is recommended to everyone. Can't come up with a name but i'll check next time
Then finally, the week after that we decided to top it all off with a combo of choco and gelato's haha
I find it funny how i can remember all this whilst blocking out other things....
Woo for the subtle blog messages. Just like Wall-E which i watched today haha! Yes, it's a giant message about global warming and people being obese in the future! You cannot blame gravity dammit!
Anyhoo (yes, i say 'anyhoo' alot) It's 12.51am and I'm still going.
Even more other things...
Random pub nights...Belgian beer garden...other movies (Step Brothers)! Watch that movie!! Funny as!
Oh yes and there's that other thing that's going on...........
No it's not that silly...It's work lol! I've nearly survived for a month at Nando's! Seriously, I have a gazillion vouchers..just ask me! Buy this, get this free...
And with that I bid you goodnight before I fall of this chair...I dont know who reads this but I can guess mwa haha! Woo, you've survived another one of my crazy rants if you got up to here! If you didn't...you suck...
Catchsky,
Nicksta

Well, I'm going off on a spiralling tangent again. Anyhoo, obviously I hit some massive low point and then spiralled downwards but GUESS WHAT...I'm back!!
