Philosphy of Life.

This will be the last one about whats been happening…after this, nothing interesting is scheduled til the end of September coz the assignment are piling up already…except our trip either to Brisbane to see their largest firework display, hiking up Tabletop Mountain, or a BBQ which is happening this coming Saturday (thats 2/09)…have to choose one…which one?

First of all, check out this old school TV I got for free!!!

Yeap, thats right..free…! (note: mug on TV is to give the reader a perspective on its size) Andy would be proud…heres how it happened:

During orientation week, I signed up for this International Friendship Linkup Event thingie where they look at your interests and hobbies to pair you up with an australian family or individual. I got a call from the director and I agreed to meet the guy on Saturday. His name is Mark Evans and his wife is Jennifer. They’re really great people and it also happened to be his birthday that day! We went for lunch, then we went on a bicycle ride where he showed me around Toowoomba, then when it was time to head back, he gave me a jar of home made honey which he makes in his back yard…He also gave me the TV coz it was lying in the shed for over a year!!! At first, it didn’t work but after he "thumped" it the TV sprang to life!!! Whee…new old TV…

It doesn’t have a remote control and doesn’t even have buttons…See those 2 knobs on the upper right hand side? those are for UHF and VHF frequencies…I change channel like a radio, hehe…its friggin awesome! Old school rocks! plus, i actually have to get off my lazy butt to turn change channel! By the way, the TV is initially over 12 years old! Johann would be proud!

Yes, I did go to the Gold Coast recently…it was in the winter summore…but it’s supposed to be "Sunny all year round". It’s wasn’t that cold lar…but then again…it wasn’t that hot either. OK, enough with the boring stuff…

I went together with about 40 people from the university and we stayed at somplace which is about 1 star higher then a backpackers inn…the upside about it is that it’s located right in front of the beach!!! Unfortunately, it wasn’t one of the popular beaches…but that just means more beach to myself…

OH OH, I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING FUNNY!

We "were" supposed to leave at 9am…that was the plan. somehow, the bus driver only arrived at 10am and soon after departure one of the tires got either punctured or it wasn’t tight or something…anyway, bottom line is that it can’t be fixed. So there we were cruising to Gold Coast at 50kph…sitting in a bus that vibrated like crazy for the entire journery is NOT fun!

We "were" supposed to arrive at Telebudgera (our accomodation) at 11am, we arrived at 3pm!!! ARRGH!!! As if that wasn’t enough, the plans to have a BBQ at some lighthouse just accross the border in New South Wales got cancelled coz there wasn’t enough time…

we made up for it by going to Surfer’s Paradise (a place that my friend, Julian would absolutely love!) We had dinner there and walked around. Boy, this place is Alchohol Central!!! There are night clubs everywhere…the second night my friend wanted to go in a strip club but the rest of us were too chicken…

Surfer’s Paradise, Australia.

THIS PART IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY!!!

Bear in mind that by now it’s about midnight and everyones wasted…we saw this guy yelling to someone across the road…at first we igored him but then turned to see this guy about to get a blowjob from a girl in public!!! (Yes, it is illegal) The girl was rubbing his crotch and stuff…after a minute (probably because of the yelling dude) there were guys all around cheering him on…Then she leaned in and he pretended to whip her *everyone cheers for him* and I’m not sure if they actually did it or not but she suddenly pushed him away and she got up then they just walked away while the crowed yelled stuff like "pussy!!!" and "ur weak dude, weak!!!" and stuff like that…it was hilarious I tell you…

i did manage to take some nice scenery shots of the Gold Coast and here are a few…as usual, go to www.flickr.com/photos/jiaren for more pics…

This is the beach almost right at our doorstep. On Sunday which was the last day we were there, we jumped in to the sea and had a blast!!! Being around 9am in the morning, the water was freezing and the wind was gonna give my hyperthermia…but it was worth it!
