222. RAGE. BURN. KILL.

Rant

What was said below is pretty much my rant for the past few weeks, *but wait theres more!*
me, millhouse, spaghetti man, and sniffle are currently "studying" for our 222 test coming up tonight.

Sniffle is : playing Bonks
Millhouse is: actually doing some work
Spaghetti man: just came in
Me: well, im on the blog

The thing about 222 is that there's almost no consistency in the answers what so ever.
The diagrams are sometimes labeled other times not labeled, the list of important features of a diagram varies depending on what time of the month it is etc etc...

In conclusion, all we can hope for is that the test was written during the "right" time of the month.

On an unrelated topic; our site has recently reached the 3k mark, YAYYY (hopefully some of these views are NOT by us)

I hate:

1. randoms who come to my tutorial stream, thinking they are the shit, and talking non-stop,loudly, ignoring all the STFU glances, questioning the answers that were given on Cecil, whining on and on "BUT Why? I disagree with the marking scheme. I mean I think I know a great deal more than the marker in PHIL 105". PLEASE STAY IN YOUR STREAM, you @#$&%.
   
2. dipshits who walk slowly/stop to talk and hence hold up traffic/walk like drunk in zig zag fashion hence blocking pathway at the crossing/the bridge outside UBS/quad/outside subway. PLEASE RUN LIKE YOU STOLE SOMETHING, you $#@*%.
   
3. lecturers who take something very simple and make it sound like a foreign language class (unless it is a foreign language class)/ who start on a mathematical example and halfway through ( just when you think you would have at least one worked solution for this maze of a subject called Math 208) gives up on numbers and starts writing gibberish/ who have never used Power Point before. PLEASE TAKE RITALIN TO PREVENT SELF FROM GOING ADD AND WRITING CRAP ALL OVER THE PLACE, you @#%#$^.
   
4. spurging on a pair of shoes and then realising that you have NOTHING in your closet that goes with it because the shoes is so not typically you. WHY DO I HAVE NOTHING THAT MATCHES MY EXPENSIVE SHOES? more importantly, WHY DID I BUY THAT @#%$&* PAIR OF SHOES?!

ps: how much swearing is allowed/not allowed in posting? thank you for your time.

Special Announcement

WHNTP team would like to wish happy birthday to Rawr.

Hope you've had a special day :)

New Poll

While waiting for our (me and spagetthi man) lecture at 8am we thought we'll try and revive this blog since the last post was over 2 weeks ago....

We've made a new poll on the issue of 8am lecture.

(hmmm this post doesn't seem to "flow".... o well.... blame it on the early mornings)

Since its winter over here, getting up and leaving the house at 6:40am means that we leave in total darkness..... That must be one of the most horrible thing to wake up to.

NINJA GANDALF!

Think about it if Gandalf is a ninja, he will be so awesome. he can stop you with 'You shall not pass' cause he's Gandalf and you won't know cause he's Ninja. And you will be like 'WTF I CAN"T PASS' :D STONG!

*The Next Month... or so*

This time around we are not the ones planting
... Brains

Accountant = architect?

We all know that accounting is just an over-complication of what is essentially revenue-expenses.
When the new faculty building was constructed, I would've thought that the university would have used architects to design the building. However, I have come to the conclusion that there were cost-cutting involved in the construction of the building. Instead of using architects, they actually asked accounting staff to design the building.

While I sat this morning waiting for my lecture I saw a great number of visitors (most likely here for some event) walking into the building and:
1. Had no clue where they were suppose to go
2. Had no idea HOW to get there

I might have mentioned a while back that there are all but one visible stairs that lead up from the first to the second floor, and that stair is OUTSIDE the building.... Ok, it might look good to not have a stair inside leading up for the second floor, or it might be the new "it" thing but come on... this is the building NOT an accounting practice or something that should be over-complicated.




Since we're talking about accounting, let me rage about the allocation of marks in the test.
We were asked to fill in the missing numbers for a statement (from a-e). There were NO indication that they asked for the "total" figure at the end so I didnt add all the figures from a-e up.

Got my marked paper back yesterday and found out that they actually allocated 20% to the total figure..... I had a massive (albeit invisible) WTF on top of my head.....
Ughhh......

*Dang that was a long post.....that should make up for the recent lack of complaints/b***ing

The Joys of Econometrics

It appears that the OLS estimation method is more accurate than the WLS estimation method. Which is strange…..wieukfjsnda,esewfhkajewkl considering the fact that WLS is suppose to be a better method than freaking OLS on robust!!!!!

Why? Why?! WHY?!?!?!?!?!

Joy of Early Lectures

O the joy of coming into uni early in the morning.

Heading in early will get you the joy of :
- Catching a bus that is packed full like a sardine can
-Waiting at the intersection with all those ppl in biz suits.
-Seeing college (high school) students wagging school
- Seeing the electric bus run out of power in the middle of the intersection

-To top it all off, knowing that your friends are still sleeping in bed....

Got fucking ripped off. $20 for a cocktail!

R U SRS?

wow, a slow month of complaints huh?

man you guys are lazy, tsk, tsk.
well I can't complain much either, apart for the lack of complaints.

glad that everyone is happy.

ACCT.211.FC.2009.Test.GARG

Ok ok, in the mid test guide it says:

No. of question: 4 questions
Coverage: Topic 1-3
Up to Lecture 14

Topics:

1. SOCI & Changes in Equity

2. Asset Revaluation

3. Provisions Calculation

4. Asset Impairment

All sweet and dandy... but wait? The topics posted are only from lectures 1-9

sooo err... why study up to lecture 14?

No bonds premiums/discounts, warratees, shares BB?

Why emphasize and underline lecture 14?

Acctg 211 don't you dare pull a fucking Glen on me

>.<

Fin Test

There's been a lack of complaint lately.. so sorry about that

Ughhhh..... another broken promise.... our fin lecturer told us before our test that the test will be the same format as last year tests... what a bunch of S***

Ps: in case you were wondering why I chose this pic, today's ANZAC day so yeh..

1:06 am

Well, the pressure of having an audience is definitely on. Grammar Nazi alert. It feels like primary school all over again.

But back to the topic of "omg, who pissed in your cornflakes today?" Today I have a few rants.

First of all, I hate all you people out that who tell me, "Oh, I love rainy days...". I suggest you take a walk in it when you have somewhere important to go, wearing a poncho and slippers with no umbrella.

Second of all, did anyone realise that Chapter 9 of Finance 251 is just repeating itself over and over again, using different and complicated words?

Thirdly, why oh why when people go to Subway, they feel like they are at a gourmet experience? "I don't want my Subway toasted, I only want it heated. I want pickles, but only 2 and a half slices please. Can I just have pepper no salt? I'm on a diet so I want that less than 6 grams of fat sub... can I use that Add-On deal and get 2 cookies please?"

I had the misfortune to stand in line for twenty minutes for a normal Sub of the day because I met a big bunch of retards who did the same thing over and over again. And what's worse? They had the time to think about what breads they want while waiting for others, but noooooo, they just had to think about it only when it got to their turn.

FFS, there's only five kinds of bread! This is not "what's behind door number 3".

Last, but not least, though I am glad they moved the Econometrics tests back to May first, I am still emotionally scarred for giving up berry-picking to study for a test I don't have.

Broken Promises

The title sounds really gay (not in a homosexual way) but.. yeh...

Our accounting lecturer promised to post resources up over the break (hence, the lack of complaints lately).. We're about half-way through our break. Not a single resource has been put up... As Sniffle would say "men and their promises"


PS: Our blog has recently reached ("officially") 2000views, hopefully not all of those are made by our contributors...

Time curse

Nowadays, we bring our laptop to our friend’s house. Then we would ask for their wifi password and name. 5 years before this never existed; 5 years later this will be a necessity. If they don’t have a wifi network at home, it will be like not having a fridge now. Technology grows as fast as a reasonable person can absorb. One day, when we turn old or turn a bit slow, we will be labelled as expired, ending our useful life.

H.A.W.X.

Remember the day when we just want to be whatever is on tv?

Being a jetpilot is pretty cool XD

Smack that.

Does anyone have a piece of modern technology which has failed miserably in your hands, now you have to wack it against the wall (a few times) just to turn it on? 

I used to see it in movies - most recent one being "Zac and Miri make a porno" where Miri's apple macbook needed to be smacked a few times for the screen to show anything (btw i really don't regard that as a spoiler for the film so don't go thinking that was the best part of the movie or anything)

Now in my hands, is my phone. After (and probably due to) countless plummets onto concrete ground, gliding around the bottom of my bag nearly everyday, strange addiction my friends have to sliding my phone up and down randomly but also excessively when they see it, I now have to wack the phone to adjust the volume to play my music. Though I still haven't figured out the amount of force needed for each volume.. right now i'm working between a solid knock and a baseball throw against my wall

Amen for the symbiosis of technology and brute force

Day. Light. Daylight savings.

I think there should be some intercom that runs through every resident's house in NZ to enable informative communication and also serve as reminders when people like me blatantly forget about daylight savings then end up having an epiphany at the bus stop realising that she is actually an hour early for the bus she wanted to catch.

Boy that was a long sentence.

Anyways,this is a rage at all you people who didn't run to my house last night, slap me with a fish and say "daylight savings tonight, fool."

I resent the previous post by blogger "Wern".
I demand impeachment!

I love party people. Keep on complaining!

hey hey. just coming in to make a short announcement. the team here at WHNTP is expanding! So now we'll welcome The Spaghetti Man, wreck of the day and rawr to the lineup in our tirade against...everything. Oh yeah, as well as 42 who will make his debut one-time guest post. Soon. I think. More !@#$%^&*( and raging to ensue! Yeah!

Ok. I'll stop sounding like i'm 12 already and peace out for now. XD

Btw. anyone wanna put bets 42 gets addicted to this whole blogging thing and sticks around for more lol?

Super Mario

Going through the internship process is like playing through Mario... On the first stage you have great expectation and actually enjoys it...But when its game over you think to yourself, WHY THA HELL did you waste all that time playing it

Whats the point

The equation for going to lectures: Going to lectures = Gain knowledge .

What would be the point in going to lectures OR Having lectures when everything thats going to be said is on the slides/document posted on the internet available to us where/when ever we want them....

Therefore... the new equation should be:

Going lectures= Sleep

= Play Collapse
= Go on MSN (Windows Live Messenger)

Do you know why people order alcoholic drinks when they are out at restaurants?

This ensures that the meal is good no matter how they serve it to you. E.g.

Picky Husband: FFS my steak is too rare! I asked for medium rare not a baby calf straight out of the womb!

Trophy Wife: Now now dear, they can recook your Fillet Italiano... and try not to shout, you're making a scene.

Picky Husband: Making a scene? MAKING A SCENE?

Trophy Wife: Waiter! Give me a Brass Monkey and two Fluffy Ducks!

... 5 minutes later...

Drunk and Less Picky Husband: tHiS iS tHe BEST bReAd in *hic* tOWn!!!

Enough said.

that's some tank

Caged animal

I knw I knw.. Im writing 2 posts in a row, who cares...

Just received an e-mail from the Math course co-ordinator, several (Im guessing 10-20) have left their ID cards behind after the test we had tonight......

Hmmmm I wonder why..... Could it be because Uni students memory aren't good.... OR...... Could it be because they couldn't wait to GET THA HELL OUT of there

*Ps. Im a bit addicted to the "align centre" format... so yeh...

Quote of the Day+

"We spent more time on math than on DOTA this week, that's how much fun math is"- F


On other issues,
The Big 4 are driving ppl nuts... distracting them from their lectures and scared tha hell out of them when they least expect it

Do your job. But don't do it too well.

We all want things to do what they should do. They're programmed to do just that. But there's comes a time when you wish things didn't do their job so well. Last night, I found myself stabbing away at my pot of frozen yogurt with a spoon like an angry yogurt-deprived child, wishing my fridge didn't freeze my pot of yogurt rock-hard that I end up with a bent spoon and a frozen hand.

And then there's the commercial packaging. Yes we do want our food to be properly sealed in their packages for hygiene reasons but with the time ticking by in the morning as I try to run to my bus stop on time, I do NOT have time to struggle over opening a WELL SEALED ham packet. See the story goes like this:

9.25am: Sniffle opens the fridge door
9.26am: Sniffle tries to open the packet of ham
9.27am: Sniffle struggles with opening the packet of ham
9.28am: Sniffle is still struggling
9.29am: Sniffle gets scissors and stabs the packet and makes a mess
9.35am: Sniffle has to run to the bus stop thanks to the stupid ham packaging.

Be careful what you wish for. It might just come true..with a little twist that makes you wish you never wished for it.

Who taught us how to forget?

Did anyone ever wonder how easily we forget the things we should reeeaaally try to remember (like that long b**** of an equation for maths or section 18.1(e)proviso paragraph 2 of that new legislation) BUT no one ever taught us how to forget...

I guess somethings just come naturally huh.

Other things like being slapped by KPMG - we'll never forget.

Ohh yes. It's war baby. Bring it.

"Short loan is simply..... too short"

Mouse♥

When you spend alot of money on something, you expect them to work.

When you pay 100 bucks (because you want to be environmentally friendly ♥!) for a rechargeable Microsoft Mouse; you expect to be able to recharge the mouse easily without needing to google for "how to recharge microsoft laser 7000 mouse". You also expect the mouse to be fully functional, especially when you are trying to deny last hits in DOTA, or when you are trying to run-the-eff-away.

You do not expect it to lag across your screen when you desperately want to highlight a size 7 "i" for your assignment; and by no means is it suppose to crash on you after just 2 hours of using it when you spent the last two nights charging it. Also, you expect to be able to scroll down a page, like you'd be able to using a cheap as mouse, only better cause you paid heaps of money for it eg your summer internship paycheck.

And, naturally when it doesn't work, you feel cheated; ripped-off. It's as if you paid good money for a ship cruise and find out you have to do the paddling. And tech service for Microsoft is located in India, and the only advice they offer you is to "just put in a battery". If I wanted to contribute to the piling amounts of battery, I would. I would have also purchased a cheaper mouse that is 60 dollars cheaper.

Ok, since Spaghetti Man here made such a long post, I shall make a short one

"COMLAW IS DRIVING EVERYBODY NUTSS"

To illustrate my point, please refer to the post below this one.... Spaghetti Man has absorbed so much comlaw that he can actually combined it with Snow White........ Ive just finished reading one his draft post, this ones even better... so stay tuned.

Ok, nvm.. theres been a "technical glitch" and we apologize for the inconvenience. Spaghetti Man's posts are below mine (somehow... as the one directly below mine was posted AFTER this one) anyway..

As I was saying, the two posts below me illustrate how COMLAW has "gotten" into Spaghetti Man's brain and merged it with his everyday life and imagination.... Should I be concerned?


Ps. Ill be doing daily one-line complaints

comlaw brawl

I was walking down the street today, frustrated about comlaw203, it's test that weight 30%.

I bumed into this guy called Salomon, he was talking on his phone to his lawyer saying his company close down and it is not his fault. I pushed him down the hill and his worker that are striking ate him.

Then there is this plane with the logo' XXX Air Farming Ltd' crashed into the hill, I LOL at it.( well i dont want to be that sad)

Then come Gilford riding on his motorbike, trying to run over Horne, the tricky little guy.

So securitibank lended some money to him, which is arguably illegal, but then there is no element of fraud or sharp practice in it.

Savill then comes along save the day by bringing the sham test and the fraud/sharp/unconscienable test.

then everyone when to 15 insoll avenue ltd to have a beer.

And Meridian was the boss, he's so strong that he can steal my beer without me knowing.

then he summoned Baden Delvaux.

I have actual knowledge that it is so strong and i am going to die

SO

I Willfully shutting my eyes to the obvious

and

Wilfully and Recklessly failing to make such inquiries as an honest and reasonable person would make 'can u not eat me'

then

The circumstance indicated the facts to me(the honest and reaonable person) that the Baden Delvaux is a vegeterian :D

Well then Meridian as i said, is strong so he summon four other monster
the express primary rules: can use companys act and company constitution to attribute ppl attack on you.
Implied primary rules: the unanimously assent of shareholder can gang up on you.
And also the general rules of attribution with it 2 main sons(there heaps more) agency law and vicarious liability in tort.
lastly the special rules of attribution rules attribution, which pretti much can interpreting anything anyways it wants...

i was facing against the 4 monster. but i had no fear, i said 'well tell me about yourself and each other, how do u affect each other'

Their head exploded.

COMLAW AND the WITCH CO

well after inspired by sniffle post, and after hours of comlaw... this is what you will write.

Case: Witch Co, the company producing all the poison apple to fulfill the need of snow white to be poisoned. Due to the negligence of the mirror(an employee and shareholder and director), has produce a series of apple that is not poisoned. Soon after the witch used one of these to poison snow and white and well, obviously failed. Advise the witch as to her position with the company, can she find the mirror personally liable? Also she had paid for 1000 more of the poisoned apple, the company's constitution expressed stated that 'poisoned item cannot be traded at quantities over 100 '

under section 15 of the companies act 1993, it is stated that a company has a separate legal personality. And it is separate from its shareholders. So in that sense, it is unlikely that the witch can find the mirror personally liable.
normally a compnay will the capacity to do pretty much everything, stated in section 16(1) of the companies act, however in 16(2) it allows the company to restrict it own capacity by the constitution which is the case now. However in section 17(1) and 18(1a) expressly stated that even though a company constitution has not be comply with, it does not deem the contract invalid, it is likely that the witch co will still have to delievery the 1000 poison apply at the end of the day. The only way the company can argue it way out is that in proviso of section 18 of the company act, it stated that if the person is ought to have or has knowledge of the situtation by the virtue of his or her position with the company. This is highly argueable as the witch have the mirror, which tell her about pretty much everything in the world(eg. the prettiest girl in the kingdom) Note that merely because the witch co 's constitution in the far far away register / a copy is available for inspection at the witch co doesn't deem the witch have the knowledge of the situation.

Rather can the mirror be held personally liable depends on the actual purpose of the company. We have to apply tests to determine to lift the corporate veil. The first test arise from the Savill v Chase Holding ltd, we have to see is there element of fraud or sharp practise or where it would be unconscionable. This case, there is no fraud as the company is not set up to sell fake poisonous apple, neither there is element of sharp practice, as it is just doing what it is suppose to do. Unconscionable action does not exist in this case as they are just merely business man trying to sell poisonous apple. The other test will be the sham test, such test were applied in the case Gilford motor co. Ltd v horne, it is to test whether the company is just a mere sham to avoid liability. in this case, witch co is not a mere sham, it is with the true intention to poison the general public.

Ok I can't be stuffed carrying this on... comlaw totally took over the other space that the witch co was occupying in my brain. Now i am left with comlaw in my brain...

"Life is full of flirting and teasing"

There was this time before my birthday, around 2 years ago, my uncle asked me to go downstairs where I found him sitting at the dining table with a new camera bag sitting there. He sat me down and asked me if I like it, I said I do. He asked if I want it, I said I do. He then said

"It's not for you."

He's the type to pull jokes like that but he eventually pulled out my actual birthday pressent and gave it to me :)

Perhaps it is our elevated expectations that leave our hopes dangling on a string, only to freefall later thanks to the weight of reality. There are times when we believed, with all our hearts and hoped, with all our souls that THIS time, it will be different; this time, it won't hurt to have a little faith; this time, I won't be let down.

I guess it's not so wrong to succumb to the tempations of that ever so deliciously red apple. Maybe this time the apple isn't poisoned. Who cares it's the evil witch with warts that hands it over?

Snow white got a kiss from prince charming for taking that chance. Go figure.

Deadlines

Here I am, sitting in the basement of the building waiting for my lecture. While waiting, Im going through all the deadlines + tests that Ive got coming up over the next week or so.

Ive got an assignment due tomorrow, a mid-term test on Friday, another assignment due next Tuesday, another mid-term test next Wednesday (or is it Thursday..), ANNDDDD another assignment due next Thursday...

Crap.. I just realised that Ill have an assignment and a mid-term on the same bloody day... Oh dear......

Quote of the (yester)day

"...just go and die.." Fin lecturer

Endorphins make you happy. Stress doesn't.

5 hours in a row tomorrow. 

Can someone please explain how my 2hour cruisy fridays suddenly grew into a 5hour lecture/tutorial marathon? 

"You brought it onto yourself fool"

It sucks how much our lives are regulated by university. By regulated I mean running to class while trying to munch on a sandwich or forgetting how many lectures you've attended that day during the middle of law of attribution lecture(or was it authority?)

Please just tell me this is worth it because I forgot the time I said loss of sanity is what I wanted to get out of university. I'm sure it's in the fine prints of our enrollment forms.

Is this all that there is to our life? Is this what we've waited for during all those years of college? COME OOOOOOOOOONN. Grunt.

The Final Countdown.

Ohhhkay ladies and gentlemen,

We have 9 days left. 9 days! Before the second edition of our poll closes. So! I urge you all to make your votes while you still can, and, well...

...we'll take it from there.


That's it for now.

P.S. Any ideas for the next poll, drop a comment hey!

LOL- uni life

HERE i am 11:07pm, having to wake up at 6:45 tomorrow...

ride on, shooting star.

In the spirit of one line posts, here I am too.

So its currently 1.49 am and i'm burning the midnight oil to finish off a written assignment due at 10am tomorrow.

Okay. So i've finally done now. Currently procrastinating going to sleep because I cannot be bothered to brush my teeth. Early mornings are never going to agree with me.

So much for my one line.

Welcome to our new colleague and partner in crime here at the great complaints, the Spaghetti man! (did I spell your name right? lol.)

"Oh yeah. I'll fishslap him for you sweetie. With a big fish. A whale."

One line post for the day?

Thank god for friends. And my neighbour who writes to me. They keep me sane.

Bliss.

Whats up with that date.... EVERYTHING is happening on that date........ UNI SUCKSSSS

Timelessness

Another member to the Great complaints~ The spaghetti man- A humble University student

As a university second year, life is pretty packed. Work don't seems to ever stop.

Assignments and tests just keep on coming... And I have recently discovered that all this extra workload has HUGE impact on a normal healthy Human being.

1. Serious short term memories lost: Everyone forgets where they put the pen once in a while,but due to the fact that my mind is preoccupied with (Ultra Vires, company, Statement of Comprehensive income, intergration by parts, implicit differentiation... the list goes on, and they are like virus in your computer, sucking up ur RAM like crazy) The result is that, let's say you need to go to pee now, but then due to the lack of RAM in your brain, the command is soon forgotten. Only when you are about to brust, you will remember that you want to go.

2. LAGGING : People start to lag when they are preoccupied with all these things in their brain. What usually take you one hour to do can easily become a four hours task.(this post took me 4 hours)

3.Procrastination: here i am blogging when i should be slaving away to finish the accounting assignment.

First step is the hardest

Dear loyal readers, subscribers and fellow bloggers:

This blog was founded on all the unfortunate events that happen to us during our everyday lives. It could be missing your bus, a bug flying into your ear or something bigger like being hit by a car. We might seem like babies whining and crying about things, but to me, in the process of finding that new pain-in-the-ass thing to write about, I realise that there are so much more for me to be happy about.

This blog is for anyone out there who can relate to our stories and can have a laugh about it with us, for those who have experienced the annoyance and the pain, but most importantly this blog is for those that know better than to let something ruin their day.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

Thank you readers for your support 

Thank my fellow bloggers for the friendship - you guys make those (almost suicidal) stressful uni days just that much more bearable :)

hurrah for 1k.

OOOOHHHKAY!

Hello dear readers and fellow complainers,

Well, this is a bit of a deviation from the usual theme on this blog.
But! I am officially quite proud to say that wernhasnotoothpaste, aka, "the great complaints", has officially hit its 1000 views mark as of last night ( - we were all too lazy to blog about it then lol.).

So anyways, just a little shout out of thanks to all of our readers. If you are a follower/recurring reader of this blog, double thanks :)

And yeah, I think that's about it. The others (including JW!) will have something to say, i'm sure. Hopefully we can hit our 2k page views anniversary soon. So until then, keep coming back!

Peace out,
millhouse.

procrastination is good for the soul every once in awhile.

millhouse has officially died. Study has already got the better of him in the paranoia which was inevitably due to follow the start of the new semester. Plus the announcement of test dates, the first of which is only a little over 2 weeks away. The announcement of tests already was probably the final killing blow. He should really currently be working on something constructive, such as tidying up the mess which somewhat resembles the beginnings of his stats assignment. Or completing applications in the hopes of adding to his level of work experience. Or, well, cleaning his room, because the spiders are angry. Hmm.

Also, he is writing in the third person for reasons unknown even to him. And no, he is not under the influence of any illicit substances because he would much rather watch popcorn cooking.

Internet

Here I am, trying to write this blog and the uni wireless network keeps disconnecting itself.. ==

Everyones been having this problem lately... why tha heck can't they fix it... After all, I did pay for it...

It's over. wahh.

There has never been a better time to put a stop to time -before all the assignments, reports, tests, exams, tutorials, lectures come rolling in like a tsunami.

Times like this, it's almost like you don't know whether to run or swim. If you run, the water will still get you no matter how fast you can run. If you swim, the water hasn't even hit you yet (in the meantime, you can stare at the MASSIVE wave coming at you) but when gravity finally pulls it down, you don't even know if you can float - let alone swim. This metaphor for the start of second year university might seem a bit outrageous, but I can tell you a 4month holiday that passes by in the blink of an eye - THAT is outrageous.

I guess they're right when they said that time flies when you're having fun.

Goodbye summer holiday.

Hello brain-proding, sleep-depriving, stress-inducing, time-consuming, competition-filled, boredom-oozing semester 1 of 2009.

Ick.

wuh...?

Damn, there's a huge bug on the wall outside my room and it flies. I trapped it in a box and left the box stuck to the wall.

OK. Off to figure out how to chuck it outside.

When Nature Calls? Summer Rage, Rain and A Broken Hoop Rant Pt.II

Y'know an offspring problem which arises from a sudden heavy bout of rain after long periods of sunnyness? Weeds. I'm not talking about the variety which you smoke. Those little green #$%^&*)s which sprout up like the plague everywhere in your garden to torment you.

Phew. Glad that's outta my system.

Please don't ask me why there is a pic of a venus flytrap eating a person.

Bigger sample size, smaller the sampling error

It seems like the voting progress on our poll is going quite well. The extention to our poll will draw a larger sampling population and idealy lead to a better representation of the true underlying opinion for Wern's future dating preferences.

However I'd like to point out Wern's suggestion for voters to select the first two options seems to arise from his personal interest but this also causes a bias in the polling process. I'd like to balance this out by asking voters to also consider the last two options in an unbiased manner.

Seeing as Scarlett Johanson is in the running to become our blog mascot, I think it's only fair to put a contender up to the spot. Enjoy.

When Nature Calls? Summer Rain, Rage and a Broken Hoop :/

Yeahhh, so its been the summer break and, well, as should be with the summer season, we've been getting some pretty nice sunny weather these past few weeks.

But last night the weather pulled an unexpected 360 for the worse. Brilliant. Well, I guess it was unexpected for me anyways because i don't watch the weather reports, but hey, that's not the point.

Rain is pretty important for everything eh. So its good to have every once in awhile. Otherwise without it, farmers can't grow what they grow, we can't eat what we eat, and I can't have free showers. >_> And end up with a chronic drought problem and all the other things that come with that. Then we'd really be royally...in trouble.
But are the heavy winds that accompany it really that necessary? Damn man. I was online this morning chatting with sniffle and JW when I looked out the window and noticed my basketball hoop on a slant. MY BASKETBALL HOOP. It got blown over in the storm last night. Gonna have to shoot with my head slanted too now. =.=v

Kinda reminds me of this hour long debate some of my friends had over which was cooler, thunder or lightning. "Thunder is like, F$%^&'ing BANG! But then all lightning does is make flashes in the sky. But then you don't wanna get hit by lightning because you'll end up super crispy".... we were REALLY, really monumentally bored. Had to be there though lol. Good times. Man we should have recorded that. Aaaanywyas, moving on...

Speaking of JW..he has yet to rant about something here. :P

PS. Just to clarify. No, I don't actually stand outside naked in the rain to get free showers.

PPS To Sniffle below, maybe wern wants her to be the new blog mascot? [EDIT: sorry. will leave it to wern to do the honours lol.]

He's just not that into you. Is he?

In a relationship. Dating. Seeing each other. It's complicated.

Boys and girls. Men and women. Men and men?

After seeing the movie He's just not that into you, I got me the idea of complaining about people liking one another. But before that, the movie Hitch (starring Will Smith as the "date doctor") has been one of my "yay movies" that I watch when I don't feel like watching Doctor Phil. *Spoiler alert so if you still want to see the movie, skip this paragraph.* The movie provides a somewhat idealistic twist to the realistic dating world where the Date Doctor creates the otherwise-nonexistent-opportunity for a lady to get to know a man. She probably would never even consider to date him, the decent man that she might never have gotten to know because of her own doubts and insecurities. Now the great thing about the movie is how it truthfully depicts the rarity of finding love, the helplessness of falling in love and the difficulty of keeping it. In reality, as idealistic as we'd like to be, we still fall on the pavement as hard as gravity pulls us even if we feel like we can fly with cupids wings. And no, a kiss from her on your half broken arm is not going to make it heal.

The movie that recently hit our (one-step-behind-the-rest-of-the-world) NZ cinemas - He's just not that into you gives us the perfect examples of just how hard it is to interpret male-female dynamics.

Maybe the male species out there haven't experienced this very much, but us ladies have certainly been 'the shoulder' when HE hasn't called. Perhaps it's because our soft hearts can't handle kicking a friend when they're down that we choose the more comforting words to soothe their mind. "His battery might've died and then he threw it at the ground in anger and then a parade of silly ants carried it down the drain....." whatever it may be. We don't want to believe that the "signs" that we nit-picked to make ourselves feel better never actually meant anything. But seriously, do you really think the fact that he sits down on a chair that the flower is pointing towards means he likes you?

Mixed signals. We send them. We get them.

I prefer traffic lights because green is green, orange is orange and red is red.

But then, orange... could.....

Damn it.

Anyways , I'll be picking daisies in the meantime.

"He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not...."

Ps. Can someone please tell me why there is a picture of Scarlett Johanson on our blog? (Perhaps Wern would like to do the honours)

Pps. I recommend every viewer to take up on millhouse's advice about eating chilly dogs.

Voting progress

The result so far isn't looking good..... (especially for me == ), now, there's 39 days left to vote. All those who have or haven't (I don't really care) better be voting for either the first or second option.

Here's hoping that all the 20 votes are not from Millhouse + Sniffle...... otherwise this site would have 2 less contributors :p
