Awesome day.

What a great day of football. Arsenal win the FA Cup. Atletico win La Liga.

All is not lost.

Post-CA-exam list #3.

I think this is probably the third iteration of my semi-bi-annual post-CA exam to-do list. Here it goes (in no particular order):

1. Have a decent lunch with people outside of my immediate family. Not that there' anything wrong with them. Just gotta keep it fresh.
2. Build the Lego set that I got for my birthday. (Man, that seems like ages ago. Oh wait, it was).
3. Shopping. H&M, Emporium, Chadstone, the list goes on. Camberwell Markets is probably overdue for a visit as well.
4. Photo trips. Mount Dandenong autumn run, the city, maybe somewhere a bit further out as well.
5. Seeing my neglected friends.
6. Clean my room.

I think that'll do for the time being.

Random funny things.

A few quirky/funny things I've noticed over the past little while:

1. When people leave comments on a photo album on Facebook, and the album gets updated semi-frequently. Funny for a number of reasons:
(a) The commenter usually thinks that their comment applies only to a single photo in the album. The comment therefore eventually becomes completely irrelevant as the album gets updated, sometimes leading to often hilarious disparities between the photos being posted and the original comment.
(b) The comment pops up every time the uploader uploads a photo to the album.

2. The temperature within a train carriage has a direct positive correlation with the amount of rain pouring down outside.

3. It's funny how 99% of the population assumes that accountants are good at tax. I mean, I can see why they would, but it's just funny, in the sense that it's completely alien to most of us. Like getting a baker to cook seafood.


Completely unrelated (because all that other stuff above was really related and intertwined), but this Coldplay song:

Time.

Word of the Day: Time 

Wow. So observation. Very deep.

Observation of the week: if somebody's asking you on a Thursday what you've got planned for the weekend (completely out of context, and not in a 'how about you spend it with me?' kind of way), chances are that this person and yourself aren't exactly soulmates.

The Gold-en Age.

For no discernible reason, I was just sitting here, drinking my ritual pre-gym huge glass of skim milk, at my desk, in front of my computer, when I felt a sudden nostalgic desire to play Pokemon Gold.

For no discernible reason, this also made me very sad.

Probably because I remember how back in the day, in Grade 6 or whatever it was, my life was primarily divided between Pokemon Gold, school, and homework. The latter two didn't concern me in the slightest, and it was all fun and easy. School was basically just friends and games, with a few jerks. Homework was learning my times tables. Pokemon was Pokemon (and still is Pokemon) i.e. awesome.

School has now been replaced by work, where I have a lot of friends, but you also run into quite a number of jerks, or people you'd rather not spend hours and hours and hours (and hours) with.

Homework is now Taxation Law. Income tax, CGT, FBT, T.T. I don't get it. At school, up until about Year 10, I just got things.

And Pokemon Gold. I've sort of upgraded to HeartGold. I like what they've done with those games. They're sort of more or less the same, just kind of spruced up.

Problem is, I can't even find the stupid DS right now.

Or it might be the music.
