Bitching session #10

Today I had the subject marketing with a friend in the steele building, we were meant to go to the 2 o'clock lecture but ended up going to the one at 12 because she wanted the rest of the day off for some reason. Wow, what great decision making on her behalf. We went to a class that was full from the moment we entered, had to sit in the back and to add to our luck we had 3 moronic fuckwits commenting on nearly everything the lecturer was saying.

Tool no. 1: See any worth trying to pick up?
Tool no. 2: The lecturer wasn't bad, looks a bit like your mum oh-ho!
Me: Oh great, we're sitting near a group of talking dipshits

Lecturer: Different techniques would be used for different kinds of organisations, for example a university would market their place differently to a tafe
Tool no. 1: Haha, what kind of an idiot goes to tafe
Me: You probably should be there at the moment

Tool no. 3: Man, I feel like leaving this lecture isn't worth my time
Tool no. 1: Oh are you seriously leaving?
Tool no. 2: Yeah, let's go. We should be doing something better than listening to this dumb woman
Me: THANK FUCKING GOD!

I'm aware that I talk in my lectures too, but I'm aware that I can be a nuisance so I do my BEST to keep all my chattering to a minimum. People that believe they're extraordinary geniuses and talk incessantly during classes probably SHOULD take up the offer of going to tafe (which actually isn't full of nitwits like those above).

Uni starts again...

As of monday the 25th, I became a first year again. Signing on for commerce through qtac last year and attending class several days ago, I was rather excited and not at the same time. Excited because I would be experiencing new things to learn, new chicks to check out and new people to meet in general but not excited because I was expecting it to be the same old rubbish for the past 2 years. Turns out I was wrong, commerce is actually full of people that I don't mind (I was expecting a fuckload of fobs), I met a few people on the first day and had a good time. My timetable has been set out such that I won't be spending as much time in the holt room =( (aka my 3rd home), which is probably for the best in the long run but means I won't be seeing my uni friends as much =( I'll miss you guys!

On the topic of uni, the lecturer for Micro (cool fella, actually worth listening to) stated that UQ >>> QUT and here's the proof I found (because I was bored). I lol'd hahaha. He stated something differently though, saying that UQ is 33rd or something along those lines and that QUT was actually around 199th (as opposed to a much lousier 364th within global rankings =P). So there's proof that UQ >>> QUT, it might be a university for the real world, but have facilities for the third world oooohhhhhhhh. My bad to any hot un-fobby asian girls at QUT, except to the ones that I know =D.

PS: For those that are interested/care about my weight loss progress, I've actually lost 3/4 kgs and I'm looking to lose more until I reach 65kg...

PPS: To those of you that are even less likely to care... (Or since I might have directed you here to increase my page views =D) here's my timetable...

Rant

So today I was meant to go to my cousin's wedding and spend time with family. Since I didn't receive a direct invitation I told my mum last week that I wanted to go and she said she'd call my aunty to keep a spot for me. Turns out my mum being the genius that she is and beacon of all that is incredibly smart didn't call my aunty and now I'm stuck at home doing nothing and wishing I was at my cousin's special day.

Now, she cracked the news to me the other day and all she had to say was "sorry" and needless to say I was pissed off. The next day she left a note on the table for me telling me to clean the house for her because she'll be out getting ready for the actual party. I just want to know; would I be right if I accused her of having double standards or am I just being melodramatic?

also... quote of the month

(1:35 AM) Willus http://: haha, if a girl grabs a guys ass it's fine
(1:35 AM) Willus http://: but if a guy grabs a girls ass it's court cases and restraining orders
(1:36 AM) Hoonie: hahahahaha
(1:36 AM) Hoonie: yerp!!
(1:36 AM) Hoonie: the advantages of being a girl
(1:36 AM) Hoonie: LOL

Whoever said women don't take advantage of men was grossly mistaken or probably a woman.

The end of an era

No, I'm not retiring from anything but Edison Chen is. To those of you that are blissfully unaware, Edison Chen is/was a popstar based in Hong Kong and recently had a sex scandal of his exposed to the media, which has caused him to retire from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Now to those people that AREN'T Asian or don't know what the Asian mindset is like, something like this is HUGE and basically unprecedented because of how conservative the Chinese are. Whereas in a western culture it would be just another "oops", this is something that creates a media frenzy to the point that people get threatened by organised crime syndicates. Though, there are some funny aspects as 1. Edison was always considered a tryhard by many but after this, you can't help but feel sorry for the guy and 2. fans cry like kids, mainly girls.

To those that really can't be screwed to search up what happened, here's the gist of it. Edison Chen had sex with certain HK starlets, photographed their escapades and uploaded the images onto his laptop. Unfortunately for him, his laptop had been damaged somehow and required to undergo repairs, upon which someone (I don't know who exactly), found the photos and uploaded a few of them onto the web. Fans being the absolute MORONS they are ruled out the authenticity of the photos, how did the uploaded respond? Well, he uploaded more... A LOT more... over 1,000 MORE, hahaha fucking owned. Needless to say, the first few photos and the photos following created a flurry within the media and headlines were practically all about Edison. What happened after basically was a city being thrown into disarray, fans protesting, lawsuits being filed, even triads sending out threats. Yes, when you have a $100,000 price on your hand (not head) you know the triads mean serious business which is why the poster boy had to lay low for a while in the city of Boston. All of this caused Edison Chen to retire from the HK entertainment industry, releasing a public apology in HK and as of now he's doing some "soul searching".

So, what have we learned?
- Don't take photos if you're gonna have sex
- If you do, do all that you can to make sure your compy doesn't screw up
- If it does screw up, destroy it or find another way to fix it
- If you're repairing software and find this kinda stuff, DON'T distribute it, it destroys lives and reputations

Busses

As many people that rely on the busses often to commute from place to place then they would understand what it's like to have interesting rides and enjoy being a user of the bus. Though, often there are times when you wish that you didn't rely on the bus and had your own form of transport. This love/hate relationship is rather idiotic as the pros of taking a bus don't outweigh the cons a lot.

That may be due to a number of reasons such as the bus being delayed for far too long because the fucking driver probably thought that it wasn't any of his/her business to go past the stop on time and stopped to have a fag. There are also instances of when people get on the bus and take their time to pay for their fare with enough shrapnel to make a metal detector believe it has discovered a treasure chest.

Here's another great reason: Old people that believe they own the bus and expect you to vacate the seat for "disabled" people, BCC OBVIOUSLY weren't thinking because that seat is actually quite hard to get onto if you're old. One person was even idiotic enough to try to convince me by saying that they had arthritis in their knees; seriously, why would you want to get up onto those high seats if it hurts like hell to apply pressure to your joints? Oh well, I looked back and pointed out that there was at least 5/6 spots left to sit down. Pwned.

So onto the good points: The good points of taking a bus, well they're rather trivial and not that great to be honest. For instance, today I saw a mattress in the middle of the highway, needless to say it was a big wtf moment for me. Seeing random thongs on the highway is also good for a laugh, but the highlight was probably a billboard for a Sprite advertisement that read "If emos are so non-conformist, why do they all look the same?" hahaha, fucking win.
