Two pleasantly interesting things happened today.
Whilst waiting with Dani and Addy for Jessica B-W to show up on sign out day, Mr Armitage offered me a job as a student teacher for piano with a starting rate of $10/half-hour. Being the man of formalities that Mr A is, I was of course asked to send him a "letter" upon my decision to accept the ( Read more... )

I think I ought to be writing that response to Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est rather than sitting here writing yet another blog entry of no particular relevance ( Read more... )

First, a few things about Japan that have not changed:
1. It still is the Asian emo central
2. I still don't like being spammed with teenage-angst TV drama
3. There is still a surprisingly high number of eye-catchingly handsome men with merticulous etiquette, however this is met with an equally high number of those in the reverse, not to mention an ( Read more... )

Don't you love film transformations of literary works? The person who invented them must be a genius. Talk about high efficiency. I've had The Portrait Of  A Lady with me for over two months now and I still haven't finished reading it but the film only took me two and some hours to watch. The book is so tenuously longwinded and immensely dull. Okay ( Read more... )

B. Science (Advanced)/B. Surgery combined at USyd is cut off at 99.95 UAI - that is immensely depressing but equally provocative at the same time. And there are only ten available places for domestic applicants Australia wide. Damn it. I don't want to have to work hard. If that doesn't work, then I'll have to take B. Science (Adv) with 96.40+, get ( Read more... )

Saturday was awesome. I had a great time hanging out with the boys. The only things dampened by the wet weather were my shoes. Tristan's train was delayed. Krish, Daniel and I stood inside Central station, chatting, for over half an hour, waiting for him. And when he did arrive, he came out of the wrong exit. We doodled around the city for a bit ( Read more... )

Hey hey. Today was random! I've just realised how random a person I am and what a random life I live, not to mention how random this LiveJournal must be ( Read more... )

I went to Westfield with Giuli after English Ext. this afternoon for a particular reason which for the moment being I shall not disclose because a special someone could be reading.

However, on this note I have come to realise how unprivate my LiveJournal has become. My original purpose was to keep a record all the happenings of my (not so ( Read more... )

I bought a piano today - a 23 years old Yamaha UX for $4100. Sweet thing. The condition of the piano is close to immaculate. I'm surprised at how quick the hunt concluded. I was prepared to put in another week or two to shop around for a bit. It's great that this trouble will be saved now. The piano will be delivered on Monday. I'm very excited ( Read more... )
