Interesting Mood:P

Wed, 14 May 2008 10:08:41 GMT

I'm in an interesting mood so everyone sing with me!!

It's a classic! If you don't know this song...you are a phool! Literally

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

etc etc.....
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Woo, when you've done that, I want you to substitute 'the rain' and put in something that you absolutely HATE! and i mean HATE! Preferably a 3 syllable word so it flows with the songI've established that!

So NEW SONG

I can see clearly now, *insert 3 syllable word of somthing you HATE here*'s (avec un 's si vous voulez) is gone

...

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sun-Shiny day.

That is all

Ciao

Philisophical Me! (Wednesday 7th May)

Wed, 07 May 2008 11:27:53 GMT

Hey Dudes!

I've been really philisophical lately...hmm! Pourquoi? I wonder if it's because i'm doing Philo, Politics and Eco? Hmm? I've been deep in thought lately

Anyhoo, I was reading this really interesting article tonight on "Happiness" by Richard Layard in our PPE reader. It's interesting to see his take on this 'pursuit of happiness' and what it essentially means to be happy or how important happiness is in implementing public policy etc.

Lots and lots of question pop up from this text...comme "what is the greatest happiness"? "how do you find it.."? etc etc. I could go on forever.

I thought I would end with a 'thought of the day' for everyone. It was written by Jeremy Bentham which was in this reading. It was his perspective on happiness...

"Create all the happiness you are able to create: remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you to add something to the pleasure of others, or to diminish somthing of their plans..."

And it goes on. I guess I can relate to all thisThis last month and a bit has really given me a chance to look into who i really am and I guess that's a good thing. I've got lots of plans that i hope to do and lots of others things Wow, I've been writing my thoughts onto my blog lots lately haven't I? I guess that's what it is for!

Anyhoo, just thought I would update my blog since I haven't in ages. Hope the rest of you guys are well! Uni is nearly over for the semester! Home stretch now till mid semester break which is going to be sweet!

Catchya laterz! If you've survived my philisophical side..FELICITATIONS!

The Present

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:28:57 GMT

Hey friendlies and everyone out there who reads this!

Apologies for that stupid last blogNo I do not need to go to a mental institution thankfully..yes, i already checked if i needed to jks

So I've been extremely negative lately (I wonder why?), as you've all noticed, and its taken me this long to reach this stupid realiasation and conclusion! It's hard to leave the past behind..all these memories left forgotten but it has to be done! Bonfire at my house btw (fire restrictions still?)...I could never do that! And yes, when I find that day when everyone is free, you guys should come over! Besides, I'm sick of having this 'mysterious nick house' which no one has seen insideYou can all meet Lassie who saved me from a well!

The one person you believed or thought was someone in your mind, isnt actually that person! The one person who your brain keeps telling you, is that person....is not that person! And then it hit me, why should I put my life on hold against everything else and keep thinking about the past? I'm speaking in riddles again! Life is confusing..always will be but everyone's gotta deal! It's when we actually consider how lucky we are that we're not living in third world countries where we see that we hardly have to deal with anything in our lives. It's amazing how lucky we are!

So I re-evaluated all the goals in my life in the past 3 seconds. Maybe I should spend more time doing this! I want to go to space and see the stars!..well not really I'm actually thinking of really transferring to law now! Whether that be back at Deakin or at Monash. I still love you Melbourne! Philosophy and Politics bore me, French is not what I thought it would be!

Oh and happy thought..I got my first H1 in Uni which I was stoked about. It was for my Business Law test!35/40 was a major achievement pour moi, having never done legal studies before!

I've isolated myself from most people lately and thanks for giving me the space but now it's time to go on! It's time to "put your chin up" and move on from the stupid past you left behind cause who likes dwelling on the past? No one! I was considering building a time machine (pft..maybe i should have done quantum physics or engineering) but I know thats not going to change anything! Although, it would be tempting to look at the future!

I'm going to walk into french today and not be the Nick I was these past 2 weeks but someone new! Fresh start for me in life! I've looked back at these two years and i've actually changed quite a bit! Good and bad! I've done so many new things i've never done and I've learnt each time! You might've noticed or not!

Anyways, I have something to look forward to today! Lunch and then French study group with Tom, Kate, Nina and Moi! I guess I have something to look forward to everyday now cause everyday is a new day and im not sure whats going to happen! I might evem join the melb uni gym hmmm..i know, i keep saying thatI might finally realise that southlawn is actually a good spot to sit down and eat with your mates

Haha, I'm extremely positive today! Let's hope i stay that way

To all those who were there for me these past 2 weeks, you know who you are, Thanks so much! You don't know how much it's meant to me!

Oh and did I tell you all that i worked my first job ever at the flower show! I was marketing hand organic moisturer.tough gig for a guy...

This blog is not aimed at pushing away that person that cared about me so much for these last couple of years I could never do that. Its not about pointing out every negative. You know you still have a special place there and besides it's not like we'll never speak or see each other again! Its about me starting afresh and starting again because I can't keep holding onto this one thing!

Anyways, I'm off to uni now! Silly 9am daysbut thanks for reading my thoughts and you'll probably have nothing to say so dw bout commenting. T'inqutes pas! Kung fu panda won't hurt you!

I am unknown.....

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:59:26 GMT

Well i've reached a point in my life where i am absolutely unknown..... This probably doesnt make any sense what so ever but oh well! I don't even know what im on about...my brain has hit overload!

Well that is all. Maybe i should go ponder about Machiavelli or John Locke? Hey John Locke is in LostCoincidence! Oh Noes! The ISLAND is going to eat them all! I went to lunch today. It was yummy. Friends are fun too cause they just are...yay!

I have no idea what to name this... (Monday 24th March)

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:52:47 GMT

I was going to write about my trip away to Lake Eildon for 2 days but I guess im not in the mood....I wont be in the mood for quite some time...

Last night was a big night! Even after the long drive home from Eildon I couldn't handle it. It was toughOh well, you just have to pick yourself up and go on. If you don't know what I'm talking about, i guess you don't know me well enough...

I guess I'll always remember that night...even though it hurts. It'll be the night that changed me forever, well, not just me...Have you ever got the feeling that you wanted a night to last forever but it could never happen? Have you ever wanted time to stop just for a moment...I guess that was me last night.... Every second and minute was precious....

I guess this is all im going to write at the moment so im gonna STOP. i really can't write anymore...

They say 'you can't change the past' and every line in that sentence is true. So, to everyone out there, make the most of the 'present' and don't think of the 'future'. just live life like you want to and make the most of every moment possible! cause u never kno when its gonna end.......

over and out,

The Awesome Science Camp (Fri 22nd to Sun 24th)

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:10:50 GMT

Hey everyone!

Don't even remember the last time I wrote on my blog so hi again!

Also, just got back from camp so am extremely tired! And no we didn't play with test tubes and do chem stuff cause that would be gay!

So let's just start with....'Thumbs on Table, Chins on Table, Face the Amber, CHUG CHUG...' and there was another longer chant which is stuck in my head atm! 'Here's to Brother/Sister ______, Here's to Brother/Sister____, you'll get pissed tonight, he's happy he's jolly etc...'! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS..says mr somebody who didnt go on O week science camp. Well...it involves Boat Races which was awesomely fun! Boat races..no water, teams of 8, you need an anchor person (don't be an anchor unless you're good with alco), yeah involves beer. I'll explain the rules whe are you see you peeps next time! Actually, if you get through this blog and comment,i will tell you!

This is going to be a very long post cause there is so much to say

Anyhoo rocked up at Melb Uni at round 10.30ish and caught up with Rose for a bit. Then mingled and chatted with random peeps and started our first random group! Kate, Will, Rose, Jenny, Me and Jimmy, there were more people but I forgot.

We ended up leaving at around 3pmish but we were entertained with a BBQ and Elanor being taped to a poleWhole of the camp she was known as pole chick!

Yeah, grog runs to Naughto's kept us going too.

Bus trip up was sweet too! Took the mini bus up and when we got to the highway it was CHANGE PLACES!!! Nearly tipped the bus over moving from the back to the front of the bus! Oh well!

Anyhoo got there round 4.15 to 4.30ish and had our first dose of 'BOAT RACES'. Most of us never heard of it before. Then was catching up with a new group! Group 10=Magenta...EAST SIDE Got my first mouthfull of Goon too cause i didn't have anything 'kinky' to say about me. Had to do it lying down! Cheap, cheap drink!

After that we went to grab our random rooms. I was in Room Twenty-Sex, as it was nicknamed lol! 26. Peeps in the cabin were Jesus (Alex), Bridge (Brigette...crazy camp group leader chick. Dante. Ryan, Tori, Jess...Wow i suck with names

The 4 legless race was next. Teams of 3. I was with Sara and some other guy (Again, it's really hard to remember nanes!) One person in the middle. Tie yourselves together. 6 stations packed with beer around the lake. Middle person has to drink a whole can and the outer people share 1 beer. Yeah, we were ALL tipsy after that. People were already chucking at the 5th station! And there's something about Science Society people and being nude? Station 4, naked beer servings?

Sounds like an alcohol filled weekend, doesn't it? For nighttime it was just CRAP (Crazy Ridiculous Action Packed) Night games and our little 'Shed nightclub' with a DJ pumping the music. CRAP games involved another rendition of musical chairs involving people instead of chairs lol! Lots and lots of funDidn't really dance that much on the first night but on the second night.....

Day 2 (Le Big Saturday)

So i'm up to day 2 and I survived the nighttime shenanigans. Ended up going to bed at 4. Why? Leaders coming in cabin, drawing penis' on everyone..LOUD NOISES! Yep! 3 to 5 hours sleep, Ouch!

Morning was brekkie, just had cereal and nicked off. There was beer, boxers and yabbies going on but I didn't go to that. Virtually, it was sitting by the pier drinking beer. Just chilled in the room chatting to new peeps. So before we knew it, it was lunchtime. Wow Rice pizza, or gluton free pizza or whatnot. Anyhoo food was alright for lunchy.

Then we had SPORT TIME. You could either head swimming in the indoor pool or tennis or bball and stuff like that. Just played tennis abit then headed over to the trampolines to chat with peeps.

Oh, and have i told you that it's impossible to remember everyone's names! I was going by faces.

Next fun thing on Saturday was Beer-athalon. Started off with some random teams having a 3 course meal at the table and after you finished eah course you had to chuck your table to the next 1. Funness, Well done to Hummer for eating all that SPAM. Feel sorry for the tables though, cause they were smashed after!

Activity 2= A rendition of Jelly Wrestling. Well, something like that. 'Weiners in the air, weiners in the.....'. It was an inflatable pool filled with Custard, Flour, 2 Minute Noodles, Beer. Goal was to get the weiners that were thrown into the pool. If you couldn't do that after a couple of minutes WRESTLE the other person out. Was fun. Well done to Rose and JESUS.

Then the next thing wasn't expected. All the camp leaders made up jelly and started chucking it at everyone. It all ended in a massive JELLY FIGHT and then everyone moved to the lake to have a MUD FIGHTReally funny.

Dinner was next after a while. Went to the trampolines to hang around abit before. Then it was Boat Races. I was in Team Awesome with Tess and other people. We were actually doing quite well in the first round till our anchor couldn't handle that many beers. Oh well, we all tried!

Oh, last round was against the winners of the Boat Races and the Leaders. Whoever lost had to do a nudie run around the lake. Since there was more leaders, they no doubt lost.

After that, Clubbing in our 'Shed Nightclub'. It was like the night before so that was good. Dancing a bit on the floor then we had to move to the tables cause the floor was too sticky from all that beer.

It was virtually dancing for the night and chatting in rooms etc.

Couldn't get to bed cause all the leaders decided to crash our room. I remember at one stage there was 10 people in one bed? Oh and Davo-O decided to crash in a bed in our room. Not that he would ever remember that.

All in all, was a good night.

Day 3 (Home Day...Tired Sunday)

We were all buggered from the previous night so we got up late. Well i did! I was in duty group for Breakfast so I had to go help out.

We didn't have much planned for the last day. Some people decided to do Tyre Races and managed to have massive tyre burns on they're backs.

I can't be bothered writing anymore lol! Bus trip back was 'no alcohol' cause 'we would get pulled over and checked by the police'.

Anyhoo thats all of my long blog. For those who survived....Well done! Next blog entry wil probs be about Arts Camp or First Week of Uni!

Catchya

Long time no See (Oh hi Mr Blog):)

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:36:39 GMT

So hey everyone,

I'm back! So let's update what's been happening in my life......

Uni offers came out and I'm doing Arts at Melbourne University and so starts the whole Melbourne is better than Monash thing We went to Fed square to get our offers..was a fun night!
Izi left to go 'IN THE NAVY'....*cue the song*
I'm going on Science Camp which is not going to be as NERDY as the title suggests

And thats about all I remember so I'm going to dedicate the rest of this blog to what happened on Sunday the 3rd of February

Well, I'm sure most of you already know....We went to Roses' Masquerade Ball to celebrate her birthday....

HANG ON....O shit, that was a year ago

Anyhoo, it was Ams and my 1 year or 12 months on that Sunday which was sweet but most of you already know that already. I just got back from a weekend away at Lancefield for a wedding (Yes...Free alcohol, altho i did only have a glass of white wine)

Went to pick up Ams at round 5.45pm..oops i forgot to specify a time but Oh well! Then we watched CSI a while. God i love that show.................

Anyhoo we then went training to the city for this 'thing' which i had organised. Walked along Southbank from the back way of Flinders Street and went to CROWN! No we didn't gamble....

Had a nice dinner at the Crown Pub. It was our 'spontaneous' dinner...i didn't plan it:P I had the chicken parma and Ams had the Fettuchini (can't spell) Carbonara. They actually have really nice food! When its my turn to pick dinner we're going there. Hang on...I still have to organise my 18th

Then it was CINEMA or MOVIES time. I didn't buy tickets...or did I?Yeah, we went to Gold Class to watch 'Charlie Wilson's War' which was actually really good. Ahhh....was going to get a bottle of champagne to celebrate but I was driving so no ALCOMOHOLThat took us till 10.15pm!

Damn...I was all out of 'Surprises' for the night! So we were walking back to Flinders and Ams gave me her sweet little Red Box filled with lots of Goodies. I got beady surfy necklace thingys and a bottle opener which was engravedI swear, she can read my mind.....I didn't have anything to give her though...Oh dear...I didn't buy a present.......sure.....

Then we got back to Darling station and in the car I gave her an envelope! AND THE THING FELL OUT!We had to go looking for it in the dark. Haha was quite funny. But yes...I did get my amsy a ring and a lovely letter to end the night!

Back at home her mum was waiting for her! Adding to Pam's quote list...'Are those real diamonds...' Nah it was quite funny!

Just stayed a little at Ams' then headed off back home.

That's all there is...there isn't...anymore! All in all, it was a memorable night which we won't forget in a while!

And with that, I bid you all 'adieu' until my next blog! Probably be bout Science Camp or with O week Madness at Melbourne! Catchksy

New Year's Eve 2007 (Monday 31st Dec)

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 04:00:12 GMT

Happy New Year Everyone!

Just think....the same time last year, we were waiting to start the dreaded Year 12 and stupid VCE and now we're free. Well...just waiting for Uni to start haha!

So I'm going to go write about what happened during the night! Interesting night

The girls (Sof, Ams, Ems, Rose) picked me up at my place at round 2pmish in Sofs blue holden astra. It was bloody hot outside...I think the highest temp was 41.5 degrees! Haha, Sofs car is copping a mention is this blogThen we headed off to Safeway to buy some BBQ stuff to eat and food supplies to last us a night.

Haha funniest thing there was the argument over 'Salad dressing' and which to choose! Wow, it was a big deal haha.

Then Ams got rejected from buying Bayleys because EVERYONE who entered the store had to show they're ID! Right.....

Back to Malvern to Sofs new place and POOL TIME!

That was entertaining, i think Ams and I lasted in the pool for 2 to 3 hours! Just random swimming and talking. I kinda tuned out when the conversation got to 'Cleo' and Photos in Cleo etc. haha!

Guys arrived at round 6pm and then we just bummed around at Sofs, chatting and drinking and etc.

We played 'Truth or Truth' again! Yes, we were all tipsy and felt like it!
I learnt some new things about different people
Quite a bit of alco...Ended up having 4 beers, straight baileys (well with ice cubes), some mixture of Bacardi (Mineral Water and Lemonade...was nice) and Champagne! and trying random christiaan concotions
BBQ was nice (Cheers for cooking Al)...the kebabs and sausages
Tipsy people are funny...enough said
Pip and Victoria trying to get Katrina extremely drunk
James throwing up....????
The cool cool pool! Looked sweet at night with the lights on!
Getting on the train extremely tipsy/drunk and being very loud
CVP's bottle of 'Orange Juice'...I swear he's like Talia's prodigy, thats such a Talia thing to do
Our decision to meet up every last Thursday? of the month to go out to dinner? I dont remember (FACEBOOK GROUP SOMEONE)
NEW YEARS EVE at Venus Bay next year
absolutely packed at the city but fireworks were sweet!
NYE kisses were good too:P
Some random shouting 'Wingardium Leviosa' when the fireworks were going off in the city
Our little chats around the pool (Getting married in Kindergarten? Having children?) Bahhaa gotta love tipsy chats
Me trying to keep up with Ams as were doing races in the pool (freestyle, breastroke etc.) bahahha, hey i havent swam since year 6.
According to Ams and Izi...James and I need to compare notes...:P
Pip proposed to Izi......(Yeh just remembered that 1) and Izi's comment 'OMG well done on taking the initiative first...unlike someone)

Anyways I can't think of anything else interesting that happened! Ams and I stayed at Sofs for the night and yeh...thats bout it! haha we were watching Silverchair Live on TV at round 3am! I was totally dead!

Well comment peoples and catchya all l8erz! PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK!

Schoolies 2007 ('Rosebud')

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 07:23:14 GMT

So I'm constantly hearing Susan Alexander bitch and moan for me to right a blog about 'Rosebud'. Maybe I'm delusional or maybe I've watched too much Citizen Kane

Will we be able to put up with each other for such a long time in one place in the SAME HOUSEWell...We all survived, thankfully

If I did a day by day recount we would be here forever!

So......

Headed down on the first day (Thurs 6th Dec) with Sof bright and early to head round the local areas! Stupid Boom Gates at the train..we moved like 200 metres in 20 minutes! rrr! Did some lying on the beach...climbing up cliffs..watching peeps surf and yeh. Thats probs why I have my tan lol! All from the first day! Maccas for lunch! Headed to Sofs house a little to catch 'The Breakup' then back to Rosebud to catch up with everyone else.

Now it gets unchronological and I have to try to remember the interesting things that happened

James extremely excited on the first day to set up his bar so he can serve us the many many drinks
My first drink at Schoolies of a 'Yellow Motherfucker'
Beaucoup de Movies (Se7en......I can't be bothered writing them all)
Sofs quote after we made the 'Finger me good' shotsHilarious! But not repeating it here haha! Only Ams, Sof and I know it!
Loving the White Russians! You scared Jock off the Black Russians Al...Forever!
Truth and Truth and Truth and Dare
Remind me never to wear Black thingy round the eyes again as a Dare...
Surprisingly, I didn't get totally smashed as schoolies which is always good
Me and my Becks (Gotta love the Beer)
Luke talking in his sleep apparently
(Insert Undisclosed Event here)....We all know what that is (photos withheld)
Waterfight which was a terrible waste of water but oh so fun
Watching the sunset with my favouritest person(Awww!)
Al's White Sauce FOR THE VEGE's while we were COOKING(Bahahah! Have to make this quite clear for everyone lol...The amount of calls we made were amusing)
The 2 TV freaks (CVP and Al)
CVP with 'flour' in his hair...Are you sure that was 'flour'..or did you get someone too excited
We actually survived the whole week in a houseFood was all good..we weren't living off 2 minute noodles!
Gotta love the Poker
Ooo..Monopoly Night, that was entertaining! CVP! You left me with NO PROPERTY! My seedy asian deals didn't work either...Except I did get rent free with Hawls! Otherwise I would've been dead after 2 rounds

I Give up! I'll add more later! So I bid you adieu! AND VCE RESULTS ARE UBER COOL! And VTAC are stupid...Send me an ENTER of 94.95 then send me another one of 94.60! Oh well...It still keeps my options open and everything schwankey!

So Now the question on my mind is...Arts at Melbourne or Arts/Law at Deakin? Hmmm!

Celebrations at Ocean Grove:D (Sat 24th and Sun 25th November)

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:47:54 GMT

So Heyo Everyone,

Since i've been absent blogging for a long time I thought I would write bout my time away! It was, overall, a good opportunity to escape from some people who shit you up the wall! Not mentioning any1 in particular.

So on Saturday...rocked up at Ams' at round 9.30, which was cool cause we had an hr an a bit to wait for Ems cause she was out voting. Oh well...random facebooking and reading was good fun.

Then Ems and her mother showed up and we were going on a ROAD TRIP! Well actually, 1hr and 30mins over to Ocean Grove. Good drive up, card games out the back with Ams and Ems while I was up the front taking in the scenery and reading.

So we got to Ocean Grove and hey...How many bloody 'No Through Roads' do you want to put in that area? We had to go round and round till we eventually got there. Wow, Roses' G'mas house is so close to the beach which was awesome. We got there..and got greeted by screams and not many people said hi..sooo...Ams, Soph, Em and me decided to ditch to go into town.

Pretty small and sweet town. We went to the bakery for lunch and it was really nice. Gotta love the country bakeries. Awesome food. Then we bummed around a little and headed back home.

Next stop..BEACH! Which is what schoolies is virtually bout. Weather was sweet so we soaked up the sun! Other People went on walks...people threw seaweed...people couldn't be bothered TALKING to other people. Oh well. Stayed by the beach for ages. Ams, Soph and I stayed the longest. Chatted heaps which was good. Yes, we are already planning New YearsHopefully it will be a good time to remember...or not Sounds like you have an awesome new house soph

Then we headed out to Dins at a really nice Pizza joint at Ocean. Shared a half chicken and half hawaiin pizza with Ams and Soph. Helen couldn't wait to hit the bottlo and grab some alco haha! Fun times.

Then we went back to get pissed on election night....Well...not really. I only had like a sip of Ams' Skyblue Vodka. Austin Powers was good! Whats your name? 'Allotta Fajina?'

And then Bed.

Geez Ems..What was so funny haha? So yeh, Soph was the first off to sleepy land then Ems, then probs us.

Brief Intermission while we're sleeping!

Next Day. Oh, Nick decides to wake up the earliest at 7 in the morning. Don't ask how i spontaneously wake up...just do

Afters...Soph, Ams and me headed over to Torquay for the morning. Soph was heading for a surf but...it was kinda flat (the waves) and FREEZING. Weather was shit today..drizzling. So we hightailed over to the local Maccas. Me and my little brain were playing spot the tourist..I counted 5-7 haha! Not us included We even resulted to discussing a little bit bout politics lol! All good...Gotta love maccas breakfast!

Anyhoo! We went back to check on the waves again. Lots more peeps but waves were still not good. Quote from sophie..'That guy in the board shorts is making me cold' We TRIED to sign Ams for a learn to surf Roxy thing haha!..didn't work lol!

Then we hit the surf shops round the area (Quiksilver, Billabong, etc.). Sof bought a new wallet up at Billabong so that was cool! I was looking at new t-shirts trying to pick another 1 out haha! But yeh, thats bout it.

Headed home and i fell asleep on Ams. So Bloody tired lol! Well, i kinda nearly fell on her when we got back to the house.

So thats bout it. After a while headed back home in my 'hotted up' blue BMW Took the Queenscliff to Sorrento Ferry! Yes i changed it:P Had lunch at Rye hotel. Was pretty sweet.

All in all a good day.

Was literally dead when I got back to my place.

Anyhoo im off. Partied out for now! And I passed my Hazard Perception today...so half way there to driving me car!

So This is It Hey? The End of School Forever! :( and :)

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 11:52:28 GMT

The School Year is coming to an end! I'm doing it again...being nostalgic! After 13 years of school what have I learnt?

I could seriously write an essay on all this. Oh and I was a bully..From Prep to Year 4! Mwa haha! I remember how i used to tease everyone, especially Skelts! Geez times have changed! Oh wait...I still am one...{a bully}

So I've noticed that everyone is writing blogs about 'the end of school' and the moments shared! Hell, its time for me to get involved but here's a shout out to special people, who have kept my years at school awesome and have been there for me when I needed someone to talk to! (No Particular order...retardness 1st of courseJking you're awesome). I sound like im dying...but im not haha...its also like a biography!

James L

What can I say about you James? I remember how you, Hawls and me use to sit around a table in Year 7! We had Quadruple Mr Dowse...And it sure was boring! But back to James! Well...James is the smart 'computer go to guy' and 'techie' and the 'glasses' (yes u do have 20/20 vision apparently) accentuate this! We always bag James for being the retard of the group...but he's probs smarter than all of us! It's all in good fun! Good luck with everything James and if you turn out to be the next 'Bill Gates'....well u know the rest haha!

Hawley Hawls (Head Techieness)

I had to camp with this guy for a whole week in Year 9! 'Great South West'...wasn't so great was it! All it was, was walking across long streches of beaches! Yes, i always made you set up the tent but i learnt how to do it in the end hahaAnd Year 9 camp was the first time I cracked it at Hawley! We kept running into trees when we were canooing! Oh wait...I cracked it in Year 8 on camp, when he slashed my finger with a knife! Dw I'll never forget that! Wow i've known you since Prep! That's ages! Oh well, lots of good time and many more to come no doubt!

'Emo' Al

Al Al Al! All round creepy kid with scary idea's on babies (how many baby jokes have you told in your life!) Hobbies include being a language freak and creeping Jono out! Long story to tell haha! Popular in year 6 and 7ish! Yes, I wasn't cool enough to go to 'Crossroads' haha! Smartest white kid at Castlefield? If i wasn't gonna get Dux of Castlefield, he was gonna fight me for it!

Well...Sof was the 1st to rock up! The gate was tightly shut when I rocked up so i'm like..'Am I allowed inside?' I ended up getting inside onto the red carpet and getting past the bouncers (Craig and Will and Edd).

Anyways overall it was a random night with Al drinking Beam...lots of Beam, James hitting the beers comme moi! Well i was sticking to the Champagne and then hit the beers! Jocky been her funny self....I love our interesting convos

Watching everyone mingle with each other was also fun!

Anyhoo...

Best part of the night was THE CAKE! Jking...technically it was the 'Kiss Nick Kiss Nick' thing hahaAnd we all remember that! Soz I forgot to stand next to you ams lol! I think Hannah told me to!

Japanese Camp 2007 (Thurs 4th and Fri 5th of Oct)

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 05:33:43 GMT

Hey Phoolios! Ok I am going to attempt to improve my grammar in this blog....NOT

Well, we all went to Japan for 2 days for a camp....I wishNah, We went over go the 'Log Cabin Ranch' somewhere way up in the mountains to spend a whole two days speaking Japanese!

Anyways it was alright. And by the way, this is the last camp I will ever go to at school!

So I had to get up early today to get to the bus by 8.45am! And i was already having lots of fun sleeping in on the holidays!

Anyways we arrived there and we went to that hall to do the 'safety briefing' which was exactly the same as last year for Frenchy Camp. Yes, I think that I know about fences and not crossing them!

After that we got our massive schedule which involved lots of Japanese Speaking practice and Practice Exams. This would be really boring if I wrote about all the work we did!

I give up! Funny Things......

We played Charades...I was in the 'Yellow Team' with Sam, Suzie and Tomoko (Haginos' Kid)
Mrs F doing the funniest charades every...and embarassing Sam
Haginos giving birth in CharadesAlthough, it was actually 'going to America'!
The Furusho Wars 'Between Amy And Mrs F' Quote 'No you stole my blanket etc etc.'
Mrs F putting Kazu in place (ie...shes demanding!)
Gina moments throughout the camp

'Omg there isn't a question 11 on this'

'Are we meant to start the listening yet?' (The CD wasn't in there and we were just told to do the rest)

'OMG How can you read Japanese? This book is sooo hard!'.......'Cause he's Japanese'

Jono being terribly annoying, trying to be 'funny' and laughing at every joke we did, to be cool!

Playing Pool and sucking at it! Oh well, can't hurt to try!
The two examiners (Haginos and Newlands Chick) commenting on my bizarre 'enthusiastic, non native Japanese accent'
Sleeping Bag Wars...even though i didn't join in!

Thats about all I can think of!

Catchsky! Will write on MY PERSPECTIVE on Ams' various Soirees next!

Last Term 3 'Holidays' Ever

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:12:38 GMT

So Hey,

It's 'Holidays' in inverted comma's cause its not really a holiday but anyways!

Well what have I been doing since I was last reminscing about my 'last house dinner ever' *sigh*!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Ok So Week 1 of the holidays, I got told my present for Ams was 'inadequate' in nice words from some people *RAWR*...soooo it was back to the drawing board! Oh I know what I'm doing sillys!

Went out with my gal to lunch on Monday cause she had lectures for English. Oooo you're special! Had Fish and Chippys while she got some 'Sushi'! See Pplz...I am not the only one who eats Sushi!

Then Tuesday was cheap movies at my local video shop. $1 for everything. So rented out 'The Number 23' and watched that! Quite interesting...the twist and 'shock' factor is there. Recommeded if you want a 'trippy' movie.

Then Amsy Wamsy headed off to Noosa on Thursday! Lucky chicky! Gets to go all the way to Queensland while we're stuck in Melbourne in the FREEZING WHETHER!

I headed off with me mates to go catch a movie and walk around the city(Cvp, Hawls, Al, James and it). Caught Rush Hour 3. Horrible Movie, Thanks for constantly reminding me CVP...but it had some funny moments!

Which brings me to my confession...Yes i'm part of the Triads and I'm going to hunt you all down! Mwa hahaha!

We also sat around Melbourne Central for an hour with more bitching and talking bout random stuff! And yeh...

So that day was interesting.

The days which im leaving out means that i was 'studying', or attempting to

Saturday, I had Rez's 18th BBQ gathering and that was good. Good catching up with them and the BBQ was awesome. Good chefing skills from Rez at the Bbq!

Lots of funny moments with Stefan Erovic and good calls from Amy Furusho bout Stefan! Yes I only had 2 beers so i did not get completely smashed, for those who still think im an alcoholic panda!

Happy Bday Tomoz Rez! Hope you have a good 1!

Anways tomorrow I have to go to the 'prestigious' 'FLOWER DRUM' in the city to dine with extremely rich people. I am definately 'not' looking forward to that. Tips from my mates have included, 'order the most expensive thing', 'steal they're money' etc..I'll need something to keep me entertained..maybe I can take all the wineYes my Frenchy self is coming back! Those were the days!Well France did completely change me if you didn't notice!

Thats about it for this week! Tune in next week for Nick having an awesome time at Amelia Fuller's 18th!And he is not going to be lying on the toilet floor getting help!

Its Week 6 or 7 of Term 3 and its nearly the end of our Journey through school(ie..12 years of sitting in a classroom, sometimes being spoonfed info. to memorise)! But we remember the good things about 12 Years of School! Well its actually 13 years if you count prep...but that was colouring in funessJames pointed out my horrible mathsWe're nearly there! Stick in there guys...And we'll all be out drunk at Schoolies celebrating 12 years of school!Joking! Just a little longer and we'll be out by ourselves in the big world...going to University!

Its kinda scary when you think about it! You've been going to school with your mates for AGES and now we're all going our seperate ways and leaving!Its sad but you've got your whole lives ahead of you! Who kno's whats gonna happen? And true friends will always keep in contact after school! Dont ever forget that!

Wow philisophical tonight lol!Anyways its hard to say bye to school but we have to! We can't stay there forever...unless ure one of those 50 years olds coming bak to do VCE againEveryones had fun! I dont know where I am going with this but you know!

So here's a shoutout to all those Year 12's out there...enjoy it while its there. All those past Year 12's who said it goes by like a click of the finger! Thats so true! Chill out with ure mates when u hav time, cause mates are REALLI REALLI important (and that is DEFINATELY TRUE)! If there's a hill you have to get past...they'll push u across (think of VCE as the hill).

Anyways im going! GOOD LUCK EVERY1...we are sooo partying hard after!And No more maths or chem for me at Uni! Wouldn't you guys laugh if i ended up being a scientist or something

Whats been going on?

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 06:39:29 GMT

So HEY guys I haven't written anything for ages and I'm about to start homework so here I am!

So lets start off with Friday the 3rd of August. Well this was an extremely boring day with nothing really special about itAms would totally kill/murder me if I forgot this day haha! And i'm just kidding btw...why would it be extremely boring?

So yeh...For those who thought I wouldn't get Ams anything for our 6months U WERE WRONG! Mwa hahaha! Yep, it was our 6 months...have we really been going out that long?Nah its awes!

After school, headed over to Ams' without her knowing! Hey every girl needs surprises every once in a whileAnd stop bagging Ams for not seeing me on that Friday IZI cause I sooo did! Give her a break! Mwa haha! Whats with the evil laughs? I dont know!

We exchanged gifts at Ams' place. Much like Christmas hehehe! Well not really but anyways I got the OC (So now I hav them ALL) and I gave Ams a braclet thingy and a QUOTE 'beautiful/pretty/awesome' heart necklace! Yay lots of people commentedI feel special and Ams too! At least I don't forget anniversary's like a certain sum1 *cough cough*

Yeah nothing else interesting...headed home etc etc.

What else has been going on? Hmmmmm?

Went to Monash Open Day on Sunday. Whoh bumped into Al for my first lecture which was given by the funniest guy ever. Just think about Mr Bean (OMG...Yes he was exactly the same). He was the head of languages talking bout going on an 'adventure' together by learning languages lol! Then I went to Arts (Global)...should i travel the world? Then did random things. Went to psych lecture with Ams' Dad and Ams and then to lunch! QUOTE 'we were all eating asian food' (Ok al...he said that)

So yeh I have a general idea of what im going to do now! Well not reallyProbablement je continuerai avec francais and mochiron...nihongo wo tsuzukeru!

I love speaking 2 languages! Especially fun when I'm having convo's with Ams and her Dad cause I can speak to her Dad in Japanese without Ams understanding and then I can speak to Ams in French without her Dad understandingScandal...I kno

And What else is happening?

Well got my chem mid year mark back today and that was koolies! Was expecting round a C+ but I got a B+ so aiming for an A at the end of the year! I thought I did shit in the exam!

Sof's 2nd Gathering (Sat 14th July 07)

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 07:03:15 GMT

I was contemplating whether to write a blog on this night but since i'm here...why not? Those who were present: DRUNK JAMES (Correction..Extremely Drunk James constantly falling onto the floor), TIPSY IZI (at the start), Sober Ams and Me, Alright SofThese are their stories.....

Well got to Soph's place at round 7.30 then waited a while for her to drive bak with Iz and James. She was picking them up at the station.

Then we went inside and chatted and chatted. We managed to start a conversation on 'Black and White photos' and how 'hot' they looked. This all started cause we found one of Sof's Year 7 Photos! Then we rang Al, and pretended we were all DRUNK which worked! Izi said "I hate you" and hung up the phone straight away. Good times Al's excuse for not coming was 'I can't get there'. O yea...and Sof offered me the whisky in her flask but I refused! Too many bad memories. So Silly James decided to drink it all in one go which is why he ended up on the floor at the end of the night or for the whole night!

Then Ams showed up. After that point, we decided to attempt to play some poker. Unfortunately, i was left to fend for myself against these other poker junkies (ie...Sof and Ams, Izi and James and Me). I ended splitting the pot with James once so i was happy! The 2nd time, having looked at James' cards, i knew i was gonna lose yet Ams told me to play MORE MONEYand I lost...so i slammed the poker chips on the table and left.

Then James started getting erratically drunk ie...slowing down in speaking and falling on the ground. So Ams decided to put 'Step Up' on so we could watch. Such a chick flick..omg...reminded me of Dream Girls which Emma and Sof made me go see lol!

Rest of the night involved throwing poker chips at James and Izi,

1 Beer and 1 vodka shot (yes thats all i had),
James knocking my bag ova,
Izi hiding my swiss army knife from james' (hey it works as a bottle opener),
James touching Sofs feet which is slightly disturbing,
James' present idea for Als Bday (but we're not saying nemore about that).
James destroying one of Sof's shot glasses

And that was about it! Quite an eventful evening...meh just watching james' drunk and saying funny thingsCheers for having us again sof!

Catchya..Hav fun at school ppls! Not long to go nemore!

James' Eventful 18th:P (Sunday 2nd July 07)

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:50:55 GMT

Hi all you faithful blog readers, which is not many'Meh'..I'm shoving photos of this eventful evening on soon tooJust a warning that some are quite 'scandalous'jks! I'm still drunk...NOT and apologies to mein liver...and thanks for aiding moi ams and jess encore and every1 else!

Ok well I drove all the way to James' place ova at Sandy which was only 15mins so it wasn't that bad! Good Drive! Yeh rocked up at about 7.45pm and the party was already kicking!

First response from every1 when i rocked up was....'PANDA IS HERE' and 'Where is Mrs Panda?'Oh god...Every1 kept going 'WHERES AMELIA' especially someone who needed to talk about 'HER HAIR' (Izi). Yeh i got pushed into the corner and every1 was like 'AMELIA AMELIA', and i said...'shes coming' lol!

Other eventful things involved watching every1 play pool and taking 'Emo photos' with the camera! That was quite funny! Lots of funny convos in our different groups, for example (accusing people of being gay, justifying why Al is or isnt smart, Izi and James in a room, what Ams and Sof did at the beach) Someone kept wanting Yasmine to hurry up and come (And No she isnt getting married as we've established for the whole night).

Dot Points time of other things that went on

'Making Out' with Sof again
Izi and James slumped on the pool table
Intentionally trying to stuff up Ry and Al while they were playing Pool
Playing Pool with random fruit (ie..bananas and apples)
The Bouncers trying to hit on Jess (Al's Sis) and other people (hehe..you should hear what Jess' response was since she does Law)
Meeting Yasmine (Yeh they're a good couple) Oooo
Chatting with Bevo a bit
Watching James open his presents (Note my tipsy comment about writing xox on the card to James)
Ams never got around to throwing Al through a wall!

And at like 11 to 12 or round there the night gets fuzzy (Thanks for Looking afta moi Ams for like an hr. or something) There's video footage which i havent watched yet! lol!

Said Bye to Soph while we were in the toilet
Kept hearing from Al outside (USE PROTECTION) or something lol! Even tho we were doing none of that Thank you very much!

Umm for the stuff i dont rememba...WRITE UNDER COMMENTS! Cheers all...thanks for putting my memory back togetha haha! Put the puzzle pieces togetha

Oh I rememba when we were driving home (or jess was taking us home) the cops pulled Jess ova! ASking like a million questions about what she drunk etc. Apparently i had 'drugs' in the garbage bag hehehe! Yeh kinda dozed off a couple of times in Jess' car! oops!

Until next time Catchya (Probs Transformers or this supposed gathering at Als next w/e) No MORE DRINKING FOR ME for now!

Nick
