Morning adventures

I'm gonna keep this to as short as possible. because i really feel the urge to study.

i've got papers just waiting for me at my study desk. but before i go just like to share my day.

Today was a tuesday so usually it meant getting up late for me, and catching the last train possible that allowed me to get to school on time.
I catch the train from Ashfield, and get out at strathfield following my very normal routine, making my way down to the screens and waiting till the penrith came. the time for the penrith stayed at 11 mins for 50 billion years. which was annoying.
there's this other kid in the junior grades who i see often at this time as well at strathfield. he goes off to catch the train to epping, so i decide to follow too.

i promise this story is getting somewhere.
yeah anyways. get to epping and start running for the school bus i see on the other side of the bridge. 20 metres away from it, it starts to leave. great. i quickly go check the times for the other buses to find that there are no buses for an hour. there was one that was supposed to come 3 minutes ago, so i look to see if there still is a lot of people waiting for that bus. there was noone except for this one man. i see a bunch of juniors leaving and starting to walk to school.
now this isn't a foreign thing to me no more. walking to school. probably done it about 6 times in my schooling life. its about a 5 km from epping to school. so i go what the heck. and start walking 5 minutes behind the junior group/team . as i trek on i see that public bus go straight past me. but i wasn't all that bothered because i really did want maccas anyway since i had no brekkie .

the usual trek up carlingford road.

walk and walk with my earphones on. it seems like i've been hearing the same old songs over and over again. finally catch up with the junior team. which i find have run out of steam and given up. they are waiting for the next bus to arrive.
i trek on and 5 minutes later reach maccas all sore and hungry. my legs were originally sore to begin with because of the running i've been doing lately. stretching and warming down didn't really help that much. maybe i'm doing it wrong.


get there. order a sausage and egg mcmuffin meal. and i remembered that matt usually never ate breakfast. so i thought might as well get him something too while i was there. got him another sausage and egg mcmuffin with a free hash brown thanks to my VIP card :D . and gulp down the coke with thirst. midway through eating my stuff. i realised the girl undercharged me. i didn't even know that is was possible. but a meal is 5.95 and a mcmuffin is 2.95. she charged me 8.05 . do the math

finally reach school to see assembly is still going on.
that was a pretty nice morning. maccas breakfasts are so nice.


period lessons these days are quite enjoyable. although i still feel guilty that i should be working .
the last period of maths today was just going off. people were stealth nuggeting bags, the girls taking photos for those memories. i chimed in a few of them (sorry) and managed to snap some photos for myself. here's one of them

ruilong brought his hats and hairnet for that gee dance he's doing. man i'm gonna miss these guys. well actually not really. cause we'll all be studying medicine together at UNSW ;) hopefully.

go to school. play hard. go home. study hard.
that is it for now. take care everyone

Sitting and Waiting

First of all. don't know if he reads this or not
but i'd like to give a shout out to Ruilong my old bud :) for turning the big 18 today
happy birthday mate

we've known each other for all these years. was kinda looking back at primary school photos and stuff yesterday . but i don't know how to scan it up onto my computer. not even sure if my printer has a scanning function
well if i ever find out how to scan up some old photos . i'll put it up on my blog one day and share a part of my life with you guys

Well its nice to be checking my blogroll and seeing new posts being put up. havent been doing much today apart from just reading everyone's blogs and reading through the boredofstudies site
wow xD that forum is like a place for people to brag. this lyounamu kid is incredible. talking about state rankings and everything. his ego is phenomenal
i actually just wanna meet this guy out of curiousity
while everyone else is living it up after HSC xD he's guarding the forums at home posting every 5 minutes.
whenever i google something up related to work (usually english) google results always turn to boredofstudies
and i see lyounamu going on and on xD

well what happened today and yesterday:
while people were at usyd and doing their jap exams . i went to school to do a little bit of study with connie. friday night my friend who does jap came over to ask my mum some stuff about japanese, in preparation. i was going over her transcripts and everything she typed up :O crazy. there were like 15+ pages, and she was just tryna memorise it all. realised i forgot all my kanji

damn cityrail had dodgy track work again. so i had to drive to burwood to catch the train to epping. and then when i got to epping, the next bus was in 30 minutes. so i decided to walk to carlo. since carlo court was on the way anyway and i need to get some lunch. the route wasnt as long as i expected. i remembered the time when me and benny werent allowed on the kings school bus early in the morning for some reason in year 7, so we decided to walk to school from epping. and it took forever.

managed to get a catch of the view from the bridge thingo that i crossed along the way.
finally got to school. it was so hot. my jeans were burning up
didnt do that much study. just showed connie a coupla questions in maths
went off the guan where he taught us some funky stuff. and headed back to epping
got to epping. 27 minutes till next train. great. weekend transport is pretty dodgy
so i just keep contemplating whether or not to get something to eat. i knew mum had bought duck. but itd be ages till i got home. bumped into betty on the way who just finished intuition.
so in the end i get a whole pizza which was slightly undercooked . that dominos pizza place was going off . they were so busy with phone orders and everything.


days are so good now. wish i had a car so i could go places and do lotsa sporty physical activities. instead im stuck at home half-heartedly browsing through math papers. yesterday night. stayed up till 2 (which is normal for some of you) talking to someone i havent seen in 8 years. she was in my year 4 class, and she still looks the same. looking forward to meeting her and catching up soon

for now that is it :) ill try to have a more exciting life for future posts
seeing everyone going out to city and concerts and stuff. dayum
take care
