RIP JackBarnaby

excuse if I misinterpreted or misread something 

Respect x100000

I'm so late on the news, only found out today. 

Only ONE WEEK AWAY from his next demo and now no one will know about his findings etc.

He's very kind to warn the manufacturers, programmers about the flaws within their creations to prevent future catastrophic events where people just get money drawn out of their account from anonymous people through a telephone cord (or other forms of connection) and they can't be identified or traced down. 

People say that the easiest way to get through life is to be a typical whatever because you won't be posed as a threat to anyone else. Bright, intelligent people are said to be used and manipulated by someone of higher authority -cough- government -cough- if they want to survive. There are many cases where those gifted people happen to be standing against those people with power (like REAL power) and thy'd end up mysteriously....gone. 

Just think about it.

It feels like these individuals are seen to be pimples on the face of the society. It represents youth (somewhat) but it's also nuisance for the one in control with the situation. Pop them pimples, get rid of them asap. 

As vicious and vain as it sounds, it's the reality.

There are honestly so many occasions where people just miraculously die or appear in an accident which looks like it's clearly a set up. The people who know a lot about the things they shouldn't know about (and want to warn the people about it) are marked and most likely have their names and identity filed down by a group of powerful people in the "to eliminate" category. They're down-to-earth kind and clearly wants to save humanity or they have a strong sense of righteousness. Oh hell that doesn't work up there. The people running countries don't give a damn about what's right or wrong. Whole system is structured, day by day, by lies and deception. People who are smart and concerned for their own survival would typically join and collab with those group of people. They're so strong now that anyone in attempt to overthrow the system can be "eliminated" just like that. I'm glad to be able to get some insight on the world just a few steps away from that world. He said that they'd try to manipulate respect and courtesy. Once his family was invited to a 5 star hotel for lunch (the place was empty) and the moment they sat down. They locked the doors of the entrance/exit and proceeded to give red pockets to the children and heavenly priced objects to them. They had to take the things otherwise they'd be stuck in the restaurant. The next day, they sent back the things because they can't disobey their moral standards (90% of the high end businesses are involved some dirty work). Now that IS taking gifting to the next level. When you take gifts (in business), it's almost like a motion of acceptance and agreement amiright? Like you owe them something, you're now responsible to grant them a wish. Then they play with your guilt, very well. 

Well that went off in a different direction...

confession: food

1. I love vegetables.
I like more types of vegetables than the types of meat
because the only type of meat I can never get sick of is chicken and bacon.
Whereas, vegetables are just so fab and delicious like nomnomnom eat grass all day errday

2. I use to leave my favourite food to the end, save the best the last but now I realised that some of them get cold by the time I get around to eating it. Eat it while it's at it's best. mmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmmm omg maggie let's relate this to life and make a long as muddatrucking rant. LOLJOKES LAZY

3. This one isn't really food related but I'M THE JAR OPENER  IN THE HOUSE. I can open jars just as well, so pulling the "I'll tighten the jars around the house" threat will most likely not work. soznotsoz

confession: OCD

I clean the toilet bowl AT LEAST once a day, normally I do it twice because I like my toilet clean.

rambling101: rs why you do this

Since I haven't been on Runescape for a long time, I went back and logged onto my account...only to find out  that the entire game changed, drastically. I use to be level 76 but now they changed the exp system and now I'm level 132 (????).  Don't even know what to do on it anymore. fml. my childhood. why jagex. How do I even fight things with the new combat bar? It's not even the old lame runescape anymore, it's just like every other mmorpg game :( I actually enjoyed grinding and the simple game play, now there's just too many story line, voices and interactions which are hella annoying and weird. rip going to watch tehnoobshow to bring back the great memories. 

Checkpoints

warning: it's a bit personal but I'm willing to share anyway because yolo and good for me to read back in the future. 

I like to make checkpoints. You know like how games have checkpoints where you save the game up to that point? Yeah, I started making checkpoints before I even know that it exists. To me, it's like a short frame of memory where it marks a checkpoint in my life. I can replay it in my head whenever I want to, and it'll just feel like it's reappearing, again, in front of my eyes. It's useful because you can go back to the checkpoints and follow up on the progression and changes, mark important events in your life and keep it fresh and alive. I don't agree with the "don't dwell on the past" thing that people always say, because without past, there wouldn't be any present or future. The checkpoints serve as a reminder, they allow you to go back in time, to relive that moment and come back to the present with more knowledge of yourself and who you are.

On top of my head, one of my checkpoints in my life was when I came back to Australia round 7 or 8 years old and attended a school for 1 month. I was in the playground playing with my english speaking friends, legit there were no asians there (most likely the reason why my dad wanted me to go there). My friends were very nice to me, they were curious, young children, completely pure, with no prejudice or a hint of discrimination. They asked me how to say "hello", then ran to my dad and greeted him in mandarin. Then they'd run back to me, ask me how to say "how are you?", run to my dad and ask him how his day was. I remember the playground, I remember their expression, I remember the weather at that time. I don't remember my kindy friends in Australia, I remember these friends because I made a checkpoint. Note: I can't remember things for crap, brain just throws out unused information. 

Another checkpoint was when I was studying in Taiwan. As I was walking home from cram school in grade 1... I saw that the lights at grandparents' house was out. I normally have dinner at grandparents and so I didn't know where to go or whatever. So I proceeded to walk home. I was about 50meters away from the front door when I saw mum and stepdad, pushing the stroller and heading towards the other end of the street, with their back towards me. It's complete. Isn't it? I was young, I didn't think much and just ran and caught up with them. Then we went to eat Japanese food. I still remember that I ate green soba noodles that night. Now I look back... that really sucked. What if I left cram school a bit later? Would I be left alone on the streets? Where would I be? What am I worth? How much would it hurt at that time to find out that I have no where to go? That checkpoint, serves as a reminder. That I need to earn my position, don't take things for granted, I need to at least attempt to improve myself in some way. That checkpoint teaches me to let go, teaches me to think for others. Hey, maybe some people are better off without you just for a moment. Don't attach. Devotion is 100% in or out. Only devote when you're prepared. If you're not willing to, then don't do it. It hurts. that's what..lol no.

Haahaha this checkpoint will sound creepy but it's a big deal yeah. It was the day that my japanese exchange student arrived at my house. I remember us watching television together and she sat there and fell asleep in 10 minutes. We then put a blanket over her and let her sleep for a bit longer. I still remember looking at her, she just slept away. I was really happy, not because I didn't have to act normal after she slept, but it was because that she must of felt at home with us so she's able to just fall asleep like that. Yay!

Oh yeah that checkpoint... it was the day where my family came to visit me at Ballon, the 1 month camp. Our class was the 'unlucky' bunch because the school called up our parents and told them that the visit day was cancelled because of the flood that blocked the roads. The floods man, we couldn't even receive or post any mails for nearly 2 weeks fml. What is civilisation? Then the school emailed parents or something, the day before the scheduled visit day and told them that the roads were cleared and that they could visit us. Not being racist, but most Asian parents didn't come, we were just less informed I guess? LOL but the Asians sat there, waited for the parents to come and they never did. It was so sad. Even though they're mean and strict but you just miss them because you love them, you see your friends with their parents and you just wish yours were here too. When the parents that came, left, everyone cried.. it's crazy I know. It's like a chain reaction. They're not even our parents but we cried anyway when they left. yeah we're weaklings. The staff let us call home to tell our family that they can come in the next day to visit us. They did arrive the next day and bought lots of asian food HAHHAHAHAHA my friends came and ate with us. Honestly, who cares about not having enough food, it's more important to share the love. The checkpoint was marked at the moment where I watched them drive out of the place, brought me to tears but I tried manning up and walking away like a boss. Impossibru. 

I have so many other checkpoints but that'll take 5ever to tell you guys. That should be enough for ya'll. I'm back to working on my MDP due tomorrow morning. 

Dreams (in sleep)

this is a fill in post,
because I feel like I'm obligated to do so, after being inactive for 3 to 4 days, but I do have an excuse for it. For those who haven't heard/known/etc, our cohort went to "Year 12 Focus Retreat" from Sunday morning to Tuesday afternoon.
It was..cold.
I'll do a separate post on camp later in the week. scabbing photos from people soon.

So it's the day after camp and I'm still trying to catch up with sleep. It's not like I didn't sleep at all, it was more like, I slept the most but to be honest...it was really light and I woke up a few times at night. Speaking about sleep, I use to not dream at all. Or not that I know of. I've probably forgotten but I had years of solid good sleep (no dreams). Then, if I actually had a dream, it would be bloody realistic and unsure if I just had a dream or it was reality. During those times, my friends would be at school in the morning, telling everyone the kind of dreams they had the night before and I'd be there just listening and wondering why those things never happened to me. #leftout and then I came to QA. I started dreaming more often, almost every night from year 11, of which most are horror based and creepy. I mostly have vivid ones after I press the snooze button on my 3 alarms. Then I would just wake up all of a sudden, the dream would be perfectly timed and finished by the time I open my eyes, and it would be exactly 10 minutes.

Now I actually prefer just having a solid good night sleep without any dreams. Yeah dreams I don't need you!
I want to learn to lucid dream one day *___*

Choices

Extended Essay is officially over! :'D

I had the best sleep the night before it was due. Printed and bounded my EE on Thursday afternoon and it was one of the greatest feeling ever. Even though I didn't really like my chosen topic and found it boring but I still completed it. On Thursday morning, Mr Leong checked my EE and had an emotionless expression and scrolled up and down, then just said "should be ok". Did you know how much I spazzed afterwards? It must have been soooo bad but I'm not sure if it's decent or he just gave up on me omg. Regardless, it's over and I can't do anything to improve it so I'm content.

Friday
After school, I went to the ANU advisory session held at The Sebel Suites. We thought we were lost but nope, pro google map skills. Victoria accompanied me, sat with me and ask about law at anu.

person: so you're both interested in studying law?

maggie: yes

victoria: yes

In reality, Victoria doesn't even give a bum about law hurhurhurhur tyvm I'm so grateful for your accompany. We arrived at 4 and finished by 4:30, then we hung around city a bit and waited for Hanwoori to open. I didn't actually eat a lot of meat, I ate more vegetables than meat like dafuq.

After we finished eating, we caught the 150 back to garbo. Remember how I dislike people who talk loudly in enclosed area? There was a Korean lady talking on her phone really loudly (I could her her clearly with music blasting in my ears) and being a noisy, ignorant individual. I looked back at her a few times, hoping that she'd catch the hint that she's being annoying but she was too into her conversation and kept going on. Then this guy yelled at her and told her nicely to stfu. Then she looked at him like, "omg this person is SO weird. strange. is this thing human?". Then she moved down to the front of the bus. I can't thank that guy more. He's so badass, stepping up and getting the problem solved. Also like this other guy who was on the P88 early last year. The year 10s were super noisy and completely ignoring the fact that they're on a public transport, not a school bus. Then that guy at the front just shouted to the back of the bus, "shut the fuck up! move the fuck down". Excuse the language but that's what he said. Sometimes people just don't listen to things without at least a swear word involved.

I enjoyed experiencing the night life,
since I'm never really allowed out at night often.
my curfew: before the sun sets
for safety reasons.
Can't argue against that,
I watched way too many cases in the documentary and now I'm paranoid of being in public areas alone at night. "prison diaries" was interesting, "serial killers: the real silence of the lambs" fab but too many sound effects and "Torture - The Guantanamo Guidebook" ...no comment.

It's not the dark that scares me,
it's the people.
omg motto

Saturday

Woke up earlier than usual by a terrifying impulse. Last minute google mapped to check the busstop and tsxpo's venue. Every moment where I know I arrived at the right place, completely new to me, without getting lost, resembles the feeling of ranking up on mariokart online. Damn that feeling is the best. Especially when you win against someone from japan hell yus. I walked around the exhibition center twice to make sure that I've checked out everything. Starting from the left, I found ANU and got spotted by an ANU student who welcomed us on Friday. It was like a reunion AHAHAHHAHA.

her:I remember you ! You're here wanting to talk to our opponents?!

Then she talked to me more about the degree, the exams and assignments and what not. Glad to find someone who also think that crimes are interesting, instead of something that should be frowned upon.  If I remembered correctly, she's in her 5th year? 

Here's my collection of 2014 uni guides.

QTAC-Griffith : from school talks                        |                                  QTAC- ANU : from advisory and tsxpo
Idk what to do with my life. I don't know if I will have the ability to make choices. whelp.

There were so many unis and academies that I've never even heard of. Around 2-4 beauty schools, many hotel management unis, hair dressing school, new york film school.

I have a close family friend who did IB and currently goes to University of Sydney, studying commerce. She first went to UQ. Told me about the life in Sydney etcetc. Most importantly, looking at my results, I really don't think I'll be able to get a IB 44 and get into University of Sydney and study law. If I really wanted to study there, I'd have to do something for a year, get gpa 5.5+, then start law. Ain't nobody got time for dat. Jokes. I don't know what will happen in the future. University of Melbourne is as epic. I think the IB 44 might be the requirement for University of Melbourne.... can't remember. Tim was also there, doing a powerpoint presentation, for qut I believe. Bond had a very nice bunch of people, like ANU. They were really hostile and down to earth in comparison with UQ and QUT. I don't know but I feel like UQ, QUT  and I are at the same level of awkwardness. UNSW, James Cook wasn't too bad. Monash was a bit empty, they only had 1 person and she was....not really helpful so I quickly took the guide and moved on. There were so many other unis that I've never even heard of. Though I still did peek in a bit hehe. Australian National Defense was the bomb. I'd do that if all else fails. Best case scenario duo law and crim. You have no idea how many times I've changed my mind on what I want to do. I'm betting that my goal at the moment was 'derived' and funneled down from the 10295809384203 courses that I once wanted to do (not just a part of it) but then realised that I don't suit it at all (I need sleep and can't do science).

+ Dinner at market square

Less than four months left before finals.

omg.

Going to have an intense conversation with myself soon to talk/work things out.

self counseling ok

BYE! 

Respect b1tch3$

That went too far,

if you cannot tolerate or accept other people's flaws then at least acknowledge that they're trying to do their best in their position. Don't just laugh at everything they do. Do you even know how it feels if you were in their position? 

What's so funny? Not even trying to hold back, these type of people disgust me. As childish as it sounds, they're bullies. HAHHAHHAHAHA IS THIS STILL FUNNY? This doesn't happen often but I really felt like I could punch them in the face over and over again, "HAHAHAHAH FUNNY STILL?". Those are just to describe the height of my anger towards these ignorant people. Just going to briefly touch on this topic, but backstabbers. The ones that appear all nice and caring to others, turn to their friends and laugh about you, turn back and you're there smiling back at them. How stupid did you look in their eyes? Stop being delusional and assume that they're so nice and has the best personality in, duh, worrrrrrld omg ily xoxoxo. 

I thought there'd be compassion or empathy within but turns out that there's not enough of it to suppress and put this stupid behaviour to an end. Some of you might be thinking that I'm overreacting but in all honesty, it really struck me hard. What kind of fuckery were these people thinking? A joke is a joke but hey do you realise that you're abusing people, yes I said it, a b u s i n g and that is not okay. You know why it's abusing? Because you stepped over the line, the line that tells you to stay the fuck away and have some respect. Respect because in essence, you are leeching off them and they selflessly provide you with the knowledge to do 'better' and even if they're bad at it, it's the 'action' that counts. Is it really that difficult to just sit there and bare with it? Must you reveal the immaturity so soon? It gives them more reason to take back the trust they've given. 

Looking back, I'm glad I've learned how to respect people of higher status (than me). By nurture, I use to talk back a lot but through years of living with people with strict, traditional family structure, I became more accustomed to show respect in my actions and words. I did try to push the lines and that didn't work. What was I thinking. Of course I got owned, asian lecture style, more chores and work as punishment. Days having to keep my head down around the house in shame  to show that I've reflected on my actions and admit defeat. They know more, they've experienced more, they've lived longer, they feed me, they let me live, they're keeping me alive, they're giving me clothes, chance to have a good education. What gives me the right to challenge them and push them down from their place, the place where they belong and have rightful ownership of. So when I see people doing something like what happened today... it's just as what the others said, disappointing. 

I'm one of the ones who didn't stand up in the situation, which means that I'm just as pathetic as the people who intimidated them. We often know how to act but we never really execute our thoughts. Almost as if our moral standards are shadowed and closed away by our  fear of judgement.  At least that's what I do and I'm want to be able to initiate my thoughts instead of being a bystander, just keeping it in my head. What really is important is not what is thought, but what is done because thoughts don't matter when it stays as a thought. Of what value do you think a thought is, if the thought's purpose is to simply live within the mind? That's probably why I have some sort of admiration for people who are able to DO more than what they claim or have in mind, someone who is not me. Surprise, surprise! I actually think though a lot of things. 

so much rant 

dw it's a gift from me 

at least I'm updating and helping you procrastinate 

T3W1 Summary

Finally had some food rolling in! This Kracher was apparently bought in Germany. It just tastes like sugar but who doesn't need sugar in week 1? Need help with keeping awake during the day

Griffith came to talk to us on Monday. I originally had griffith on the bottom of my list but after that session, it probably raised by one or two positions, making its way up my ladder woohoo. I guess the main reason is that they're offering the course I want (as well). 

Vic and I went and hung around the city on Monday or Tuesday afternoon and tried out myer center berry me. It's been a while since I've made my own so it looks dodge not gonna lie. Overheard the conversation between the guy working at berry me and a few customers. It's just so fascinating to observe that kind of situation, I mean, the customers were definitely trying to get in. They weren't even there for the froyo, they weren't even legit customers but people who were just there for him. They just sat there when he was serving the other customers and approached him and said, "can I ask you a question?" with that kind of tone that girls do when they want attention and when they flirt. Aww it's going down. I can't imitate or recreate that conversation but it was omg their intentions were written on their faces, bold, italics, underline. They want the d. not friendship. ;)

Careers breakfast on thursday morning was generally useful. We arrived at school at 7am and offered to help out at the kitchen. Mind you, we weren't helping for cas hours. Finally got into the school pantry and fridge :D I think we talked to 4 or 5 people. I was lucky enough to talk to someone who works in the exact field that I want to get into. 

On saturday, I went back to grandparent's house to finish making my design. Spent around 2 to 3 hours trying to finish it off. The amount of frustration in those hours. To even accurately sew a curve, gave me the greatest internal conflict on my decision to make something that requires a lot of concentration. Mind you, I thought my design will be easy to make but it's not omg. Dad came back from his weekly exercises and told us that there's a dead wallaby at the front. Family friend and I wanted to have a look at it so we walked down. From afar, we saw this crow on top of the wallaby and consuming it. 

BLURRED FOR THE WEAK READERS

IT'S A CRIME SCENE :O

If you look closely in the middle photo, you will see a part of the wallaby's large intestine. We're assuming that because there are poo like things in it and it stinks like aasdfgh. The bottom photo is the remains of the wallaby, headless and no organs, left with only the legs, tail, skeleton, skin on the back and fur. I've seen a few dead wallabies and other animals but this one was the strangest of all. The entire neck and head was missing, and that's weird isn't? What kind of animal would eat a head? Take away it's internal organs? Or maybe it wasn't done by an animal? ASLFKJDSGLKJDS I WANT TO KNOW. 

insert food photos 

intentionally

I feel like the world is being too nice to me when I get  3 yellow mentos in a row.

Any year 12 going to tsxpo?

toktoktoktoktoktoktoktok

TOK due tomorrow
I'm still on youtube listening to covers of "I have nothing" and getting goosebumps from "there's nowhere to hide" to " Don't make me close one more door". It's so beautiful, THAT TRANSITION. Gets me all. the. time. omg. makes most pop songs sound so trashy and boring. woopwoop all nighting.

Random + Brunch

Helllo ALL :D

Spent a long time trying to find a decent blogskin that reflects the kind of person I am. I mean, you'd totally judge me hard if I used a kawaii and sparkly blogskin that obviously does not, at all, suit my sarcastic, critical and awkward personality. Anyway, I spent even more time editing the html and screwed up a few times but thankfully it wasn't too major. There's still one more problem though.. how do you put the date of the post below the title??? Right now it's at the end of each post and it looks like it's the date of the post after. ermagurd. idk I'm ubnub at this. 

I actually just got back from brunch! Woke up at 9:30am, round of applause pls because I've been waking up at 12ish. Then I tagged along with parents to brunch because yolo, what is school work? We went to Toscanis on Eagle Street. I was getting so self conscious because this place is so nice (actually I just haven't been out for a long time). There was Sunday market but we didn't hang around for a long time because omg homework, yeah still have to do them. The weather was nice too and the people looked like city people, not Elizabeth street, Adelaide street people but legit tumblr city people. Well at least I didn't roam in my thongs so it was all gee, I tried. Then the more inner city we go, the less intense it got and when we drove past sunnybank on our way home... it was like the countryside ahhahahahahaha no offence, come on I live here. 

We were initially thinking to go to ikea for breakfast but then dad was like, NAH EAGLE STREET. Oh wow so badass. Since I mentioned ikea, I'd like to point out the sneaky changes they've made to the restaurant and why it pissed us off. If you've never been to ikea, you'd never know how awesome it was. The food was cheap as and quality was good for the money we paid. Then, around some time last year, they changed the drinks. You could say that coke, lemonade, fanta, sprite etc tasted like cordial. Really? Even if the restaurant is just a strategy to attract people to at least visit the place, there's no need to betray us with the shit quality. Why not just increase the price of the cups (since it's refillable). Okay jokes that's probably not the most ideal option. At least you can charge us more and make it break even if it's not already doing so (if it is then YOU GREEDY BUSINESS TRYING TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF FOOD THAN WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO SELL LIKE FURNITURE). Ahem, then again, it's hard to get anywhere without greed in the business world. Hahahah talk like I know anything about it, but I don't actually know that much, just observing so don't take my word for it.



Last night we had a family gathering and we were playing some personality quizzes. You know it gets better when you do with with other people ;) It was funny teasing one of my cousins because he's actually attractive for a guy. Ladies don't even try, he's only in grade 7 but there's at least 3 aus chicks that like him. IN bro, and he actually told his mum that it's 50/50 for him to marry a non asian woman. When I say he's attractive, I mean that he's not those pretty boys with the fringe or whatevs but his face. I hope his future girlfriend won't find this post but the truth is, he's a farting machine and he's proud of it. People normally hide their farts but he and his brother, attack each other with farts HAHAHHA and they're not ashamed of it, at all. We'll be chillin around and suddenly one of them will fart and leave the room, nek minnit everyone strangles him. Oh yeah and also, we were on the topic of Apollo's belt and he was like "I HAVE ONE" then we checked and we were like "nah man that's your skin". Anyway, we were teasing him because he likes this chick and he gets all shy talking about her. He's normally loud and confident etc so it was funny to see that kind of expression once in a while hurhur >:D

Fml school tomorrow hopefully I get can out of bed, but that doesn't mean that my head will be awake.

can't. stop. listening. to. this. song. whelp.

until then.

My holidays ( so far )

consists of 

• exploring to the weird side of youtube and finding myself stuck there for a few hours
• playing on oceania alone, quite boring but whatever
• playing dragon nest 
• and crossing my toes and fingers that my +10 enhancement won't fail and my item won't get destroyed AND if it failed and I lost the item, I'd sit there and reflect on the decision I made a few seconds ago. Yes I did invest a lot of time and money into enhancing my armour and weapons (so my char doesn't end up like my c9 assassin that is dealing less damage and taking more than it needs to).
• playing hard out for 3 days only getting up to level 26 and realising that I should of gone screamer because it looks way better than dancer so I 
• started another character and got it up to level 15 or 16 and finished the specialisation quest to make myself a screamer (lol) in 4 hours

There goes a week and a bit of my holidays where I could of been revising or learning an entire course of a subject. I only went out once this holiday, aside from family gatherings, so I've basically switched on the "minimal physical human interaction" mode and I guess that's just my way of winding down and taking a good solid rest. I was actually really proud of myself for waking up at 9am today :D because normally I'd wake up at 11am and fall back asleep and actually GET UP at 1pm. So badass. LOL just kidding I bet many of you out there probably don't even sleep. #whatissleep

Whenever I get sick of gaming, I just resort to videos and I'm sure that's the easiest time wasting cycle to get into. Then again, I'd open blogspot and type a sentence and end up closing it because I honestly have no idea what I should write about. Well, I haven't played dragon nest for 2 days and not planning to play for the rest of the holidays. So that gives me more time to actively blog for the rest of the holidays woohoo. 

The only outing was around last tuesday I believe. Vic and I went to Newway at 11am and left at 5pm HAHAHHHA goodness sake I love this place. M u d d a t r u c k i n g twenty two dollars eighty/sixty from 11am to 7pm on weekday with meal and drink. I think the front desk knows us already HHAAHHHAHAHA

The other recent outing (meaning that I physically left the house) was on saturday. We had a family gathering at 2nd aunty and uncle's new house. It's nice and cosy there but couldn't do anything because cousins had a fight the day before and were banned from 3C, aka electronics, for a few days. So we ended up playing cards for an hour or so. I thought I was half dec at big 2 but nonono I was wrong. The win rate is quite even between us 3. I always thought a full house could beat a straight but nonono they said it doesn't work like that and it does make the game more challenging and 'fun' in a sense because I've played with ridiculous AND rigged big 2 rules before. For e.g. I could put down 3 cards and call it a mini straight like what the fukery is that? or have 5 cards with 2 pair and a random card. I had a dragon but we didn't play hk style so in the end I had to break it and hope for someone to put down a straight fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Eventually, we got bored and started watching tv. Even though they were banned from electronics but since the whole family was there, they were allowed to watch the television with us. They had internet television and we looked at the movies that were available for us to watch. We chose the horror genre and just yoloed it and picked a random movie. Googled it and read the rough story line and here's how it goes (I can't remember the name of the movie): asteroid rained on the place where they were settling at and the place began to shut down and they trying to find those masks to breath. They grabbed some torches and walked around the shuttle or something and it was dark, creepy and awkward. Yes you hear me, awkward. Then we stopped watching because it was so boring and not horrifying at all but the story line was along the lines of one of the woman getting scratched and ending up pregnant with an alien/human baby and gave birth to it. Then it starts to eat people. Another guy all throughout the time was actually a clone. It really wasn't worth the time. 2/10. Two points for the lego looking bird eye view of the settlement area. Lego was my childhood. 

The next movie we watched, a bit of, was "The purge". I personally loved the movie's setting because so realistic yet not realistic ENOUGH. I'd totally finish this movie if we had the time. Rough outline, the movie is set in 2022 in America ( 9 years later ), where there's 12 hours where crimes convicted are not 'crimes' and you won't get in trouble, charged or what not. This happens each year and aims to reduce the population size and increase employment rate, now that's the part where it's taking realism out of the story but whatever it's a movie (maybe I shouldn't say this because anything is possible). Murdering is legal. Police, hospitals etc are not allowed to interfere so if you get stabbed don't expect the hospital to be able to take you in because they're probably off killing someone they hate or getting killed by their haters. If that sounds interesting enough for you to want to know more about it, I suggest you to watch the trailer and read some reviews etc because I don't want to spoil too much of the story. 

Oh and terribly sad that stanley and toyz left TPA. It was kind of expected because westdoor* did say that they had some disagreements within the team in terms of play style, prof champion pool etc. Westdoor also said that mistake was 'kicked' to TPS because bebe didn't like his support style. Toyz didn't like his leadership style. Bla Bla Bla. Not sure if it's true because westdoor is known to be a cocky player but everyone knows that he's tight with TPA members. Anyway, I'll miss both of them but I'll still root for TPA because bebe is still in it HHAHHAHAHA 

*westdoor aka 西門夜說: plays mid for ahq, top tier player. Been dominating in ranks and #1 on Taiwan server for quite a long period of time (not sure about now but still high up there). Best known for his TF, highest win rate I believe. 

While I was playing on my lvl 8 account on oceania, I encountered this mundo.

-mundo pings-

mundo: ashe go mid

ashe: why

mundo: because you are ranged

did I just read what I just read 

but our mid was doing so well like wtf there's no need for new meta this round my friend. I can't even. 

ashe: do you even league

mundo: yes I do, now go mid

trying to be a non-toxic player, I went mid and duo with our mid who was nice and let me share the exp. meanwhile in bot, mundo all alone can't even do sht and we lost that turret. Went back on tw and found myself with 350ping like WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT (that was my actual reaction not even kidding).

Slowly adjusting back to the normal life.

until then!
