checkczech, checkczech just checkczech it @ oomolomf.
So anyway!
Just got back from an interview for tutoring and from shopping at Parra. The interview was kind of iffy =S but I think I might still get the job!
So now I'll just go and buy
Sun Tzu's The Art of War
Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince
Plato's Republic.
I also want Cities XL, so I can go around building cities. On the computer. Without me going around at all. I never got to complete a whole region in SimCity4, my attention span is too short. Then again I've rarely completed any games, especially RPGs.
Tuesday was kind of fun, but without Henry to play tips on ice, ice skating turned out to be a bit boring for me =S (ahem. Child/Louie too busy all the time for everyone else). Tangled was a really good movie, but it was super simplistic, even for a Disney family film. I thought we were going to watch Tron, but it turned out Tron starts right when ice skating finishes, so we watched Tangled instead.
EDIT
I've just received an offer from the University of Queensland for the MBBS program! I'm so relieved :D. Now just to see whether I can get the MBBS's in our state.

2011
So it has been ages since my last post (like, as ages as an Aegis of the Immortal). I could just attribute it to being busy or having gone overseas or something. However when it comes down to it, I was actually home most of the time, and was just way too lazy to post anything hahah. Being freed from schedules and deadlines has detrimental effects on my ability to just get up and do stuff.
I've been out of the house a bit, but I've stayed home more often than in December. My family went to beaches and parks for Christmas and New Year's Day with family friends, which I found to be rather boring. Well, the parks were boring, the beaches were okay - you could still enjoy beaches on your own.
My brother (the 10-year-old crazy thing) received a PS3 for Christmas. On it, we have MGS4, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, Valkyria Chronicles, and Burnout Paradise, bought after an extensive session of bargain hunting (JB Hi-Fi is always cheaper for games. Except for SC2, which I think is going up in price lol). I haven't really played it much, apart from trying it out a bit.
So why does this 10-year-old kid get a whole PS3??! My parents were very happy that he got into OC at Matthew Pearce PS. I think they were desperate for him to escape Blacktown schools. He got some insane score like 281 out of 300 for the OC test, so I guess the PS3 comes as a reward?
I have just landed an interview at a tutoring place! Excited. This place called Dux College at Parramatta. I had asked them where they obtained my personal details from when they first emailed me, and addressed me by "Peter" despite myself being known as "Peiyuan" to UAC and BOS. Apparently they got my details from Gene, and if Gene endorses something then it probably is pretty ownage and ethical at the same time, so yeah. I hope I get a physics tutoring job!
Uni info day was hectic. I went to UNSW first and then USyd. There was quite a weird moment when Simon and I asked the bus coordinator at the UNSW bus place where they USyd buses were. I tagged along with Simon to USyd, I had no idea how to get there from UNSW in time for the arch lecture. I had a toss up between a few courses to put under med. Apparently, USyd is the best uni for architecture, better than UNSW. But then some of the USyd buildings are really... well, they aren't as good looking as UNSW buildings. There's the 1950's Soviet-modernist chem building, for example. The architecture building (Wilkinson building or something, this old red brick building feeling more ancient than the C-block) was kind of dangy, and the science lecture rooms were in worse wear than the dungeons (next to the catcombs) (i.e. chem labs) at Ruse. But the Usyd Law building was hectic, and the gothic revival quadrangle was, well, more... proper than UNSW. Went Galaxy World afterwards. I saw ROBOT at Market City (lolol!), and he bumped into me at Central when I was leaving. We also ran into a bunch of peeps going to Hakeem's house.
Lan/Ice-skating/Movies on the 11th; can't wait. Macquarie centre.
EDIT: I've just applied for working as a Pre-Uni tutor. Sent a proper cover letter and CV and all. I hope I get a call!
