casinoooo


above is my mementos of my first trip to crown. a spontaneous (and excellent) idea for me ann and erica to go off to crown resulted in much fun and profit $$$!

crown is huge inside. I've never wondered what were beyond the big burly men in MIB suits, but boy was it a surprise. Pokie/slot machines everywhere, card tables, roulette, some digital, some old fashion wheels. It was so cool, but so intimidating and scary. Everything just seems so grown up and I felt so out of place. even ordering food was different. You pay for your food, and then line up somewhere else, and give your receipt to the cooks, who then get your food. I was so lost @_@

anyway, cause I was too scared to go gamble, we started off at the bar. erica was designated driver and ann had a blood test the next day, so it was only me drinking any alcohol. The bartender we got was really nice, since I told him it was my first time at Crown. He made erica and ann some mocktails; one was a really refreshing lychee with mint blend, and the other was a really smooth tropical mix. Mine was some midori, lime with other stuff in it that I can't remember.

then finally I worked up the courage (after like an hour of standing at the table, and making up excuses everytime someone gave up a seat) to pull out 10 bucks from my wallet and played at the $5 minimum bet blackjack table.

boy when you sit down, your whole world suddenly becomes that small table. A ring of players, the dealer and the cards. and the chips of course. Two aussie blokes sat down beside me and were quiet amusing. They 'picked' on me cause I was the small young asian boy I bet lol. But they were just joking around with me, all in good fun. Anyway, not wanting to get addicted or anything, I promised erica and ann I would win $15 dollars, then I would /quit. And I did! woo, winnah!

everyone else must be thinking..wth this guy came with 10 bucks and left after 5 rounds?

anyway, much fun, and would very much like to go again. firey picture below

and the winnings went to erica, for driving us there and dropping us off home =] thanks pong.

teoh,

stand firm, unlike my tree


so falls my mighty tree =[
t'was so green and tall, provided much shelter and protection to our house. even fallen, it still gives us respect by not blocking our driveway, or not falling onto our garage. rip tree.

and LOL at marco for not noticing it when he came over. *points to my dp* "is that your house? when did that happen?" blind doctor coming through people..

hats night turned out pretty well, despite having odd numbers again. group: me, ca, sassy, grace, amanda, ng, marco, ling and tim. good fun my friends. me ca and sassy pwned (oooh gg says grace) at 56 i believe? and 50's for everyone else, nice come back amanda and grace.

went to pancake parlour with dave amanda ling and tim, after playing taxi and dropping everyone off. i hate driving in the rain. ling and tim left after eating, while the three of us caught up til 2 am. good fun.

sunday. my brother decided to take me to planetshakers church. it was a pretty cool place, nice auditorium and band playing. but i really enjoyed the message, which basically relayed that christmas time was a dangerous time for christians cause there are alot of chances to backslide/temptations. so the advice was four points:
1. stand firm
2. stand up
3. say something
4. have something to say
can't remember all four, but i remember 2.. (some chapter, some verse), Peter? (LOL) stood up with the other 11 apostles together. Together was the emphasis. And I liked it a lot cause you can apply it no matter if you're christian or not.

I've always like the idea of a united group, always backing each other up no matter what. Never fighting, always understanding, always supporting and if the times comes, a gentle nudge to the correct path. I look at the close friendships I have and I'm so happy that I can see that united-ness within them.

SW: Republic Commandos play out this storyline about a squad of four commandos. But they're also clones (if you follow episode 2 at all), which makes them brothers. And the way the story is written, drawing out the emotional bonds, the way they always look out for each other, taking extreme risks and defying even the top command chain for each other. It's so awesome.

When the speaker, Matt, was shouting his heart out about having to stand together, and the whole church responding, cheering and stamping their feet, that was awesome to see in real life. I can only hope that one day, all of us can be like that.

anyway, I took that away from church that day.

teoh,

edit: i just went through all my memories stuff from yr 12 including my year book....good times. hard to believe it's been a whole year. *tear lol.

happy birthday ca~

woo, today was ca's birthday! yes terrible photo, but the only 'clear' shot within my phone XD



met up at the station at 11..I was so lucky to get a car park near the station. Must've been someone coming back from a midnight shift or something. The group was ca, joseph, charlie, wilson, sassy and myself.

went to lygon street, to some nice restaurant that had a outdoorish setting, but without all the bother of sun beaming down, flies, cold drafts..it was quite cosy (I think that's an appropriate word for it). share a healthy chicken and salad meal with sassy, which was quite yum.

then we wandered around the city alot..mostly in myers haha. 18 and still indecisive jess. The whole group was pretty much haha. anyway, headed back around 4ish, and then went to sassy's house to play wii! very enjoyable day. I love those two girls so much.

other things happening..yum cha with workmates, getting back into ddr, expanding the mouse cage quite epically, learning card tricks from danny and brawling it out with ling marco and dave. all good stuff!
hats tomorrow. i'm sure hilarity will soon follow. so I'll leave it here for now.

I need motivation!!

So yes ive come to blog even though i should be studying hard for my last paper on wenesday. Hmmm yes and it's worrying because i don't actually know very much biology at all and yet im sitting on a really really really high internal grade, shivers that just doesn't make sense! 팀씨 너 바보야?!! yeah it's pretty badd but yeah i just have no motivation to study at all, i mean all i've been doing all day is just watching dramas and such and yeah wasting my day away. which is bad! i should be stressing, and im not? Maybe because i know deep down i can't fail biology... thats why im not pushing to study it.. although in reality i really can fail it badly LOL! haha. Oh wellllll. So lets update whats beeen going on

Hmm well living almost by my self has been really challanging i mean i have so many chores to do and yeh it's really draining too, i think i can say although my parents anoy me at times i love them soo much, i never want to live alone by myself without my parents ever again as long as im a student!!!! it's just tooo hard! I think it would be better if i lived in a small student apartment but like with the house that i've living in nowww i think thats too big for 1 person T.T

Well i've done 3 papers already and unlike some people i found these papers really hard >< arghhh i don't know everything just seemed so much better last semester lol. But once wenesday is over i'll be free for 4 months yay! actually hmm okay i won't say free, i'll say free from studies ^^. Because im actually going to work on thursday and friday and i know it sucks i was thinking of taking that whole week off to celebrate a bit but then my friend at work was like 'am i going to see you next week?' and im like 'well i finish on wens so i could come in on thursday and friday' and shes like 'yeah would you? we really need your help' okay... as if they need my help im sooooo uneducated where i work i've been working there since feb and i still have no idea what to do sometimes hahah but nah i think though it's true in a way because at the college the new block is starting and so we're doing an intake of so many new students the student servicers counter is going to go crazy, yikes!! Also i suppose i don't mind working after all im trying to save money and if i work i can't go out which mean i don't spend money so i'll be happy, well not when i can't go out but in the future i'll be happy for saving money =). Additionally a lot of my melbourne uni friends would still have exams on so if i push hard after i finish exams i suppose i can slack off a bit later?

Anyways i was talking to my friend last night about certian things and stuff and yeahh i think well you know how things are all good at the start and then you start thinking of yehh everything is soo awesome but then in reality it's not as awesome as you hoped, yeahhh something like that (린씨, 남자 친구 있어요! 그대 다빋씨 하지마!) yeah i was going to write something else but then i realised im not too sure how to write it lol ahha.
Anywaysss, i really really wanan go watch a movie or something and then when strike is open, go visit it and have some fun! ahha but yeahh we shall see, firstly i have to live though my last paper and then 2 full days of work and then organise when im going back to work again. Hmm also this korean drama i've been watching has been really really good! i understand soo much without subs it's almost scary now... in a good way but more importantly the plot is really funny but still interesting to think about. Im watching this Drama right now called 3 dads 1 mum, and it's very entertaining! watch if you ever have time, just go on the net and find it ahah.
Anyways enough blogging i think i've wasted enough time writting about nothing soo yeah i need to study/cram really badly now!! hahah. but before on a totally random note this song is awesome, i like it very very much go look it up

A letter from one of the Three.

Good afternoon, readers

It has been brought to my attention that our web log has not been reviewed as brilliantly as I should hope so. With a certain rival state bringing to our attention a website ascertaining that only an elementary level education would be required in order to fully comprehend thelooop in its all its excellent splendour.

Nevertheless, this isn’t a problem, friends. [Quick dismissive speech accompanied by a hand gesture of some kind.]

If one were to careful assess the objective of said rating, then it would only be possible to come to the conclusion that - thelooop aims to broaden its audiences, not to marginalize them!

We have, in fact, expanded our horizon, comrade! We welcome all readers: young, old and angst-filled inbetweens. Such has been our goal all along, an admirable democratic ideal.

Fear not for our well-being as a web log, this is indeed a great triumph for thelooop, and we look forward to your readership in the times to come.


Your mentor through adversity,
J.L
