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!

1 Up!
By the way, YouTube "He Chose The Cross", the song.
Post-HSC has been hectic, I think I've stayed home for the whole day only for a week in total.
So I went to
Nelson Bay Schoolies (EPIC. Best week ever) (8-player haloo?? dominic decoco, duh waiterb0dee, etc.)
Formal/poker at Murphy's hotel room after/Mikey's house the next day
Mikey's house twice to play table tennis. The discussion was a bonus perk, table tennis was the main reason@!!
School to hand in HouseParty notes and raffles (which I forgot to bring so now I still have them)
Alan's house a few times to practice for HP
Gene's Bday (8-player haloREACH)
HouseParty2010 (which was actually my first HP but w/e it was cool)
And working at my parents' shop most of the time.
Been to UNSW, UWS interviews, UNCLE tomorrow.
Started piano again. Have yet to start guitar lessons.
Starting tutoring after my UNCLE interview.
HouseParty2010. I think Lily&Elaine are pretty pro lol. Pro impro skills.
It was a really spiritually refreshing experience. I can't say it has been that fun, but it was fun enough- around the same as a biv? But the main thing is, it was very inspiring and renewing. I feel really bad about actually having lost my bible and not being able to bring it. I actually haven't read it yet, I've only read a cartoony children's bible when I just became Christian like, 6 years ago =S. But yes. I will start reading it. Actually I shall get myself a NIV bible with like a commentary or something! Music was insane. 13 songs! (they were all very cool.) I wasn't able to make it to some of the practices at Alan's due to interviews or just transport, so I basically either learned the songs during the camp in the little free time we got or made up chords =S. But the fact that some of us arrived early to practice really helped.
The best thing about it was I think the seminars. In particular, the Predestination seminar was intriguing. And I know this is said like at least 5 times at any ISCF function, but it was very good to see Child and Simon there, being non-Christians. K.thxhouseparty!
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Gotta Know it All.
I'm uncapped!
This is what I do when I'm uncapped. (I'll be so angry if I get capped again like, BEFORE HSC finishes)
umm, making this up as i go
I want to be the very best
That no one ever was,
To know it all is my real quest,
Understanding is my cause
I will travel across the libs, (actually its just Parralib)
Searching far and wide; (actually Parralib hsc fizzchem books are all taken atm)
Each dot point to understand,
The questions that arise
(Fizzandchem!)
Gotta know it all!
I know it's my destiny,
(Fizzandchem!)
Oh, you're my best friends,
Two days before thexams
(Fizzandchem!)
My understanding, it must be true
Past papers will get us through
You teach me and I'll learn you
Fizzandchemmmmm
Gotta know it all,
Gotta know it allll, yeahhhh
Every challenge along the way
Must never become a bore,
I will spam them everyday,
To claim that useful scoreee
So let's roll, the time is right
There are no later tests
Arm in arm, we'll win the fight,
Finally a time for rest!
(Chorus.)
Gotta know it all,
Gotta know it all
Fizzandchem!
(SORRY LOL)
Being uncapped is already taking its toll! lool
