hmmph now everyone is pestering me to blog, and why am i always blogging about activities with scouts when just about all the readers are from school?
Well yea, i got asked to go on a camp last week (woo 1 hike 1 camp withing 4 weeks of joining, i'm on a role!) i did a quang and packed the morning before leaving. I left in lams car which was the shittiest of the lot, engine laying 3 cm off the floor, no aircorn, no headrest, owned by a maniac driver.
We arrived and i soon found out (or got reminded of) how pathetic my knowledge of life skills are. Quang, Shazz(they called her this at least) Tom, Steph, Phi, Andrew and Bao (yesss awesome memory FTW) helped set up the shelter for the parents. I stood there watching cause i'm dumb and don't know anything about anything but they did a good job i think. The others were busy setting up the tent, not sure what happened but Van came up to us with a broken pole. Shelter group finished way b4 tent group so they ended up having to set up the tarp. Tom monkey boy climbed up another tree (which we found out later just about no one else could) to attach a rope. Quang somehow tied a knot in a tree about 5m off the ground without actually climbing it, I WILL BEAT U IN TYING KNOTS ONE DAY QUANG. After that the lazy fags didn't want to tent peg the tarp so they put Lams car over it instead.
Next we went and had to make a rope gate since the logs didn't arrive (which according to my memory, Alan was supposed to make on his own). It was... ugly but beautiful at the same time. Went canoeing with Bao, WTF why is my stroke stronger than bao's? or is it cause i was at the back? whichever side i stroked was the way the canoe turned, Baos stroke had no effect. That ass wet me so much, when i got out i was shivering. Found out there were showers AFTER I CHANGED thanks, so cbf and missed my shower for that day. Quang left our dinner at home so we scabbed off the parents. First night i slept the earliest, at like 9:40, i woulda done it earlier but laurence kept kicking me out of the tarp and accusing me of spying on the "secrets" of the next days activites.
Activities, opposing team was Imba, no other word for it. We still nearly won somehow though. First part was cracking a code, me = dumbshit, actually tried figuring out what each symbol meant then Donna went and guessed the entire code correctly (i knew it was right cause it triggered a memory of what i heard the night b4 :D ) Next part was some first aid stuff, of course i did not know crap about first aid so i was useless, except the carrying bit i guess. After that was a swimming to and toeing back some canoes with pathetic people like quang who are drowning with life jackets on in a perfectly dry canoe. i did the stupidest thing ever and jumped into the water with my glasses on... I lost it for good >< spent a good hour searching for it and so did Donna, Viet and Laurence later. While i was squabbling aroudn for my glasses, our group actually started catching up to the imba group, geez i must have been a burden after all. Final activity was climbing up a tree... zomg i hate u andrew, we got our entire team except andrew up in 5mins and for the next 30 andrew just kept faaaaaiiiilllinnng. and yea... we lost. Next thing we had to beat the scouts or cubs? in a human pyramid. Soooo close... but we lose lose lose as usual.
Campfire songs rehersal arrived, fml every song was written in viet and they made me sing along in rehersal, i was so out of tune i just gave up. Next was skit rehersal, the two main characters were females, guess who played one of them... BAO LOL. The other was played by kim i think. i played the garbage man, matches my sucess in life perfectly :D. 1 sentence was all i had "i take out the trash" still remember it xD anyway didn't end up performing in the skit. Campfire time arrived, viets skit was up first, dam they spoke in viet again so i had no idea how the storyline went but it was prett short anyway. Steph was running away from ninjas (lam, tom and someone) it happened for a minute then jenny was supposed to come in and shoo them off with a fire stick, but technical difficulties always come and her stick didn't set on fire. So the entire crowd got to be entertained by watching the ninjas chasing steph and doing other stupid things. Anyway whent he fire came on jenny set the ninjas on fire and killed them accidently KIDDING nah she started the big bonfire and that was it.
Ok next we held hands in a circle around the campfire and started dancing, the guy who was yelling out instructions was doing it in viet (again) and so i didn't know when to turn right life forward or back, This sucked cause i went right when nam went left and he stepped on my toe which was still all purple and bruised from the hike ><. Anyway about 10% of the flesh on that toe along with the toenail got ripped off completely. Me being an idiot with no glasses and no sight didn't even realise that happened (i still felt pain but i thought that would be natural) and still kept dancing till my toe got close to the fire. I freaked out, i hate blood... i hate looking at open flesh wounds even more. Sorry i ruined viets night as he couldn't watch and stay at the campfire and had to take me to hospital instead. Waiting room was long and viet told me random stuff about scout people, i realised then that so many people in scouts are doing/want to do IT for some reason, Viet, Van, Quang and Bao and those are the only one i know what they want to do. Anyway waited for about 2 hours in the hospital to get bandaged up in 5mins, they freaked me out even more when they said that the root of the toenail was ripped off and if i lost it, it wouldn't grow back. *shudder* i actually did in the hospital. Got back at about 12 i think and found quang there waiting for me, sorry i ruined his night too, he missed out on the night games to see if i was ok D: felt really bad for quang and viet and couldn't sleep so i went to watch the rest of the vents leaving to canoe out to the shore. After they left, got around the campfire with Van, jen and steph who for some reason also didn't go on the canoe and waited for them to come back. Eventually slept after that but not for that long, both Bao and Alan kicked me in the face, Alan when i was getting ready for bed and Bao when i while i was sleeping, bao somehow edges backwards when he sleeps, woke up worried about people mucking up the water when i needed to find my glasses. Morning activites, Laurence was supposed to organise and co ordinate these but was sleeping right up till about 10 mins b4 they started. Relays with water balloons, well Jens team cheats, well everyone cheats anyway so i guess it didn't matter. I got piggybacked by phi and he still was like the fastest there. Tug O war was last, Bao got his own cheerleading squad there but me and phi eventually beat him somehow xD.
After that sat next to the water talking to bao a bit, felt a bit sorry for Donna, not many people talk to her and i can empathise with that and it really sux. I guess i should have tried but i'm not good at starting conversations. After that packed up said a last goodbye to my $350 glasses lost in the water and left.

Song
Heres a stupid song i wrote awhile ago when i was bored:
I wake up on an average day
and walk outside my room
I run down the stairs getting all exited
just to find the standard gloom
I walk to and turn on the computer
and boot up MSN
just to find no ones there to greet me hi
instead its a dead old end
I next run to the phone
and give everyone a call
but they don't answer when they see my name
I've hit another wall
All i want...
is to be happy
All i want...
is to have some friends
Its all i ask for in my life
Before i reach my end
I turn to leave my gloomy house
and take a stroll down the street
getting my neighbor to look at me
is already a great feat
As I walk down and pass all the shops
people turn and leave
they all think its what I want
But deep down I really grieve
The sun is slowly setting
my next destination is my bed
and there goes away, my standard day
Thats all theres to be said
I wake up on an average day
and walk outside my room
I run down the stairs getting all exited
just to find the standard gloom
I walk to and turn on the computer
and boot up MSN
just to find no ones there to greet me hi
instead its a dead old end
I next run to the phone
and give everyone a call
but they don't answer when they see my name
I've hit another wall
All i want...
is to be happy
All i want...
is to have some friends
Its all i ask for in my life
Before i reach my end
I turn to leave my gloomy house
and take a stroll down the street
getting my neighbor to look at me
is already a great feat
As I walk down and pass all the shops
people turn and leave
they all think its what I want
But deep down I really grieve
The sun is slowly setting
my next destination is my bed
and there goes away, my standard day
Thats all theres to be said

Hike
Yay my first hike. About 1 week ago i got asked to go on a hike, well finally... i'd only been asking quang for about 5 months to take me and instead bao, who i've known for about 2 weeks asks me instead (pathetic quang).
Next got asked to go shopping at Bankstown at 5:00. Well that was pathetic, i left my house at about 4 just to give myself time incase i got lost and could make it by 5, next thing i know, no one is there, everyone else shows up at 6, GG missed badminton training. It turns out my presence in the shopping mall was completely useless as the only thing i chose to buy myself ended up being eaten by someone else -.- but thats a later story.
At the request of johnson, who refused to go on the hike but wants to know about it.
Got back and started to pack, did something stupid and went completely by quangs list of what to bring which didn't have jumper on it later leaving me to freeze to death. 10L of water WTF ok thats over half the mass of my entire bag in water alone, weighed it, healthy 18Kg.
Friday, left to strathfield station, first again... u'd think scouts people would be on time, they're not. The scout leader was last and made us miss the first train, prolonging the death (Y). Got to thornleigh, and started off to get to teh track. OMFG i was freaking out, my shoulders were already aching b4 we got to the track, seriously i had walked about 400m on flat road and was shitting myself on how i would handle the hike.
The start, the hike was nothing like what i expected, i thought it would contain stuff like using a compass and a map, instead there was a clear trail that we had to follow, not that i'm complaining. Man u think about so much random crap when ur walking with nothing to do. first rest stop was like 6k's into the track, we saw a snake there and phi tried to throw a rock at it. theres not much to say about how we hiked, we just walked and walked and walked, stopping occasionally to wait for the back people to catch up. 2nd rest stop, we saw like 6 goanna's quang started throwing food to feed them, the asshole threw some bread next to me to try and freak me out, it worked for a second. about 10k's in a lot of people started cramping, laurance ended up massaging everyone. Nothing much interesting happened after that apart from laurence chasing chickens (yes we saw wild chickens). Soon got a nosebleed about 2k's before the campsite, gaaay, walking with ur hand on the nose is annoying as hell. By then i was aching bad, ddin't have any cramps yet luckily but when i arrived at the campsite, i flung myself on the floor and lay there for as long as i could. Food was ok, i like pasta, i like spam, i can't complain, it seems scouts are used to sharing food i.e using the same plate and utensils to eat from and bottles to drink from, *shudder* i shared grudgingly, i think andrew noticed i wasn't used to it. Bao gets a random cramp halfway while cooking dinner and looked like he was close to tears. Later quang comes up with the decision to wake up at 5:30 so we can hike before the sun comes out, FML, quang why do u toture me so... u know i wake up at like 12 everyday. anywho decided to go to be @ about 7 to get enough sleep. Quang slept naked... wtf and he was next to me (he had a sleeping bag though) and spooned laurence. Bao was talking to about his 50 girlfriends on the phone so i didn't end up sleeping well. halfway through the night quang kicks me in the face *ow* and yea.. i wake up cursing. My only injury was on my toe, it may be small, but it brings sharp pain spasms every step u take. 1K after we left the campstie which had a toilet in it, andrew decides to take a shit. Omg it reeked bad, like i wouldn't have been suprised to turn around and see all the trees withing a 20m radius around him decay to ash. Then a dog comes and eats it, dogs have sensitive noses my ass. We stop at and intersection and decide we want a drink, the map shows the nearest shop is 4k's away in the opposite direction to where we're supposed to go, so what do we do, we send laurence to run to the shop and come back with some coke. Man that guy is beast, later he he takes a spike drug? and runs about 4k's ahead of us to the campsite, with his 27KG bag, dumps it and runs back to carry bao and tom's bag both at once. Bao had an asthma attack and didn't even bring his puffer, that was smart. Upon reaching the campsite, the decision was made to try and complete the 3rd days hike on the 2nd day, FML x2 looks like my sleep is gone again. Went to the most expensive shop for food, spend $10 just to get a bottle of OJ and a burger... on the way back about an hour after no physical activity, i get my first cramp in the calf.. farr i thought i was doing good being the only one without cramps, bao laughed at me while i was lying there on the floor D: Quang decides to take another crap. goes to the train station, and its locked, he next try's to go the the bush, and gets a phone call, after his phone call, goes back to the bush and a dog comes out and starts staring at him, finally he does to a shop to do it and then gets chased by the owners chickens, hahaha unlucky him. Bao decides to bail out at that point and takes the train to our final destination. We moved on after that to the night hike. It started well, we moved soo friggen fast then the uphill came. We let Nam lead and Tom was behind him, Tom started to try or this motivational stuff i think to try and get nam going but to me it was pretty demoralising. He made it sound like the top was just around the corner when in reality it was waaay ahead. If u were in a race, would u rather know that the finish line is 10k's ahead or would u rather think it was 1k ahead to find out that was wrong everytime. And other stuff he said like "nams my new alvin" thats really not gonan help. about 4k's in and the tired bug hits me, man i wished for sleep sleep sleep every second of the hike since then and it never came, even walked some sections with my eyes closed. at 12:15 we finally reach the station. I literally slept on the platform, i was dead.
Caught the train to bankstown, slept outside the place till scouts started and that was it.
Next got asked to go shopping at Bankstown at 5:00. Well that was pathetic, i left my house at about 4 just to give myself time incase i got lost and could make it by 5, next thing i know, no one is there, everyone else shows up at 6, GG missed badminton training.

To quit or not to quit
well as some of u may know, i decided to create a game as a present to Team awesome the group who takes up literally 98% of my msn chat and has given me an awesome time.
but recently i have contemplated bailing out... i have seriously coded about 25 hours worth into this game so far and barely any progress has been made (to ashamed to say how much) since i only started coding in OOP recently, i'm finding it damn hard to put everything together and because luke is at schoolies, i have no guidance... errors take forever to fix. I've coded around 800 lines of code with about 13 classes so far, pretty shit for 25hours worth. Sigh.. i do enjoy coding it though, its just the lack of progress is heavily demoralizing.

Yee one of the rare legit blogs cause i actually did something today xD
Woke up 10:30 and thought i'd be late for rock climbing, turns out i was the first one there by awhile. Jeebus rock climbing is FUUUUN i wanna go again! though i wasn't very good, only got to the top of a few. Michael Wu is a beast at rock climbing, absolutely killed it on his first try on a pretty difficult one (imo). Typical nerdy thoughts, my progress up the wall was like a part hyperbola, started going up fast, slowly reaching an asymptote representing the place i was too scared to go any higher. i'm not that bad at the climbing itself i'm just scared of heights arrghh o wells did ok at the bouldering at least.
left the place to go to the train station, grr the stupid train station didn't have those boards that tell you where the train is going, that combined with my non existent sense of direction made me take the train going the wrong way >.<
Got home realising my fingers hurt so much that i couldn't play any table tennis or piano, so i got stuck on the computer. Got reminded christmas was coming (yes i'm that stupid and forgot) hmmm considering making a program (rpg or some sort of game) about my TA friends for christmas. sigh haven't done any programming in ages...
Decided to go to badminton today, epic fail, i'm sooo unfit after not playing for ages had to take a 5 min break in all my matches. Ahh everyone seemed to miss me after having quit, made me quite happy, some people do care ^_^ maybe i might start playing again for fun.
Still deciding what to draw next, anyone wanna make a special request(serious one).
