Quote Hungy/Fiber

What a year it has been. Due to the nature of our short term memories, I'm going to declare this one the most eventful one so far. Let's have a look at the list of achievements I've accomplished in the form of a list of firsts:

*Updated* Yes I forgot.

2011 was the first year that I...

• Went to Uni for the second time
• Turned 19, and finally got my P's
• Which i used to drive to the Grampians and went lumberjacking while I was at it
• Got a job of my own and learnt the various flavours of dishwashing liquids
• Failed miserably at a job interview
• Won a 'stack of the day' award at the snow, amongst other things
• Did not let studying for exams get in the way of my procrastination
• Built a new gaming computer, with help from friends
• Finished Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
• Won at Shogun total war 2
• Cleared portal 2 with Dehan
• Completed Dragon Age 2. Mostly.
• Achieve victory over the Germans in MoW:AS on hard mode.
• Prevail over the big bad in Skyrim

Achievements that I still need to do but probably won't get time to until I'm shipped off:

• Win at Deus Ex 3
• Find a copy of Zelda: Skyward sword and beat it
• Unlock everything in Battlefield
• Get to Diamond League legit in Starcraft 2

It's a shame really. Actually speaking of Skyrim, if you guys are looking for the source of NEET's being produced in the world, it would come as a very strong contender. Proof:
"Oh look it's 3am. Time for Skyrim."-Simon
And if you're wondering what the heck this Skyrim thing is, it's also the source of all of those horrible arrow in knee jokes that have been going around the internet, being posted by all the stay-at-home recluses that Skyrim has produced.

On another note, I did not do anything special for Christmas. Some kids are to blame for making me  blow up tanks and stuff with them starting Christmas eve all the way till Boxing day. Mum also did not go because she was lazy and couldn't be bothered fighting the crowd, so we all stayed home. Which is kinda lame because apparently I missed some hilarity happening, so I guess I'll have to take Jacky's word for it:

Jacky Sing:
*Today I got hit on by these two hot chicks.
*i must say
*this new shirt
*and new style
*is a definite success
*haha
*a man is defined by his shirt

You..what?! Sorry man, but I know I did say I wouldn't put up any of your potentially incriminating shit unless I absolutely had to but this was too good to pass up. Anyway this post is getting large so I'll put the rest of it up next time.

Yes, this blog kinda died. Again. Not for the lack of motivation but rather the distinct lack of things to...update people on. I guess staying inside all the time and sitting in front of the computer doesn't lend much  to creativity. But anyway, I would like to report that this week alone I've been outside for a whopping two (2!) times! That's like twice as much as the two weeks before combined! Readers who are relatively normal will probably be scratching their heads right now but I assure you that it is a great achievement for me. If only I was as hard working all the time on the holiday.

Anyway today I went outside and to some night market thing down in St. Kilda, the first event
of its kind I'd been to in forever. There was food and it was ok but not super, except this isn't really a food blog (not yet). Thankfully the entertainment was better, comprising mainly of Jacky attempting and failing to hit on random ladies while wearing headphones that was being rented out by one of the stalls there, which is a pretty good idea for entertainment. I think they should do that for funs more often because it's superior in many ways to standard performances, such as playing with fire.

This is because unlike public performances, which lose their entertainment value should the performer mess up, screwups from impromptu improvs only increase the hilarity level of whatever performance is going on, and thus would make everyone better off.

Anyway after that I ran into the White kid and Panda Kevin (who's not a panda anymore) and Kylie and friend, and I told Karlgren and being all witty he was like

Yeah. No. Hopefully I'll have gone outside more next time and have less dull things to report.

You know that week, and yes I only got one week, when you're supposed to be studying right before exams and not doing procrastination or anything interesting? Well often this results in extreme boredom and much physical upsizing, well I got bored of even attempting to attempt at making some semblance of an effort in hiding my complete apathy for exams. So here is a selection of my achievements during the whole exam preparation period; I hope you find them as amusing as I did when actually doing them:

• Evolved Larvitar into Tyrannitar (I EV trained him too!)
• Logged 12 hours of Battlefield 3, with OJ's help
• Spent an entire day trying to take over Japan in Shogun, failing then proceeding to uninstall the game from my computer. Twice.
• Watched many hours of people playing games on youtube in anticipation of all the free time I was going to have after exams.
• Marathon'd a 12 episode anime series in one day.
• On the morning of macro, woke up at 6am to see OJ off at the airport.

Ok technically that last one isn't in swotvac because Macro was my second exam, but what the hell I didn't do much study during exam period anyway. Personally while I would not try doing what I did again, I do encourage you to try not studying for exams one semester. It makes the panic experienced when sitting down at your exam, when you realize you actually don't know anything and should have been cramming instead of doing-things-you-can-brag-about-on-your-blog, much more memorable.

Just to prove that I'm not the only one trying this strategy:

"What I don't understand is...how do people manage to go to every class they have?"-Helene

Though I undoubtly still hold more achievements thanks to the fact that I don't actually need to know much about anything for commerce. Now that exams are over there seems to be no urgency required in my daily procrastinations which has seen a marked decrease in my procrastination efficiency. It takes alot more time to decide just how I should waste the day away. Thankfully though there are breaks to in staying in front of my monitor for 18 hours at a time (Happy birthday Wensi! The cake was good!).

Too much writing is probably another good indicator that I have too little to do. I better go fixed that.

Pownsts. I just got that as one of those 'please type this to verify that you're not a nublet' kind of things and I think this word is pretty cool. I mean it's a portmanteau of Post and owns, so, ownage post, thus pownst. From henceforce I declare all good post to be pownsts.

Anyway to business: Exam time. Don't know if it's my lazyness, the sweatyness ('Sweatvac' - Joan), OJ rocking up at my place to play battlefield or some combination of whatever thereof, but I just can't seem to get into the panic mindset. Because I'm not capable of attempting to study without attempting to catch Pokemon unless its the eleventh hour. Did you guys know that Google's auto correct dictionary thinks Pokemon is a legit word? Actually that's not that much of a surprise considering that it can Do a barrel roll. (HTML 5 required)

So ok, now there's less than 24 hour to my next exam and i'm officially panicking, thus I will cut this short and present to you:
Annie:"You mean like everyone at our lunch table?"

Poor Man-Hin. Anyway time to get studying and apologies to Yunghan for being worse than him.

To bring out the defibrillator pads and resuscitate this dying blog once again: firstly because we're in the middle of exam time, aka WOTVAC, and secondly because I have my paddles once again since my pre-order on battlefield 3 came in the mail today, which means -50 hours lost in exam preparation time. Both of these add up to more time spent procrastinating, either shooting things or reviving things including this blog.

Anyway I just wanna share a little bit of what my life's been like since the last update. Disclaimer: the following conversation really did happen at the specified times, though has been cleaned up for everyone's enjoyment. Basic knowledge of calculus is still recommended to understanding the whole exchange.

...
Hungy(4:17 AM):"Maybe this was a bad idea, leaving it till now."
...
Kevin (4:23 AM):"The Jacobian is r either way."
Hungy (4:23 AM):"r is a/b though, so shouldn't matter."Kevin (4:24 AM):"Hm it is too lol."
Hungy (4:24 AM):"Man, we are so beached. And battlefield comes out today.."
...
...
Kevin (4:45 AM):"I diffed." <-This is going in for quote of the year nominations.

Yeah the assignment was due 11am the same day. And yes there were two questions.

So there you have it: maths at 5am. I do think this needs to be a blog feature at some stage provided I can be bothered actually doing any maths. In other news I finally quit my job, after months of pleading by my boss to keep working and months of me subtly hinting at the fact that I need a raise. In the meantime, not much has happened, but should hopefully have more time to...waste on other things. Uni and exams will have to wait.

This captures my attitude to swotvac study pretty well:
(╮°-°)╮┳━┳ ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻

Don't really have an excuse for being awol this time, but you have been warned: you are now being quoted!

So, Yes despite my lack of obviously empty promises that I'd update every so often I am still alive and while not wholly well have been quite active. I'd say I've been skiing with buskis up in the mountains and trying not to get bruises in the meantime.


Some funny things that happened:
As we watched this kid stack, I started going "Aww Nuu..." and then the kid next to me finishes with a "Beached is bru!" Like, completely spontaneously. I didn't even know the guy, much less had a chance to educate him in the art of kiwispeak. I guess it really is the language of bruskis.

The following is a quote from a long time ago when we were both beached and then I decided to quote them but never got around to. With their permission of course:
Alice:"What's jack daniel sauce? Can you not get it in australia?
Hungy:"It's just jack daniel's pretty sure..."
Alice:"If you can't, i'll get you some."
Hungy:"Sure, though i don't really drink. And it'll use up your alcho allowance..."
Alice:"It has alcho in it!?"

Yeah. Sorry I had to break the news to you Alice, but it's not epic if it wasn't.

Anyway Uni's started again with all its epically gayness. In other news I've built a new computer so don't expect to see me much for the next week or three (which reminds to to pre-order Battlefield which comes out a week before Swotvac. Oh dear.) while I sit in my room and attempt to overclock this beast. Up to 4.2Ghz from a stock i5-2500k so far (wonder how many people know what that means)

sorry to disappoint you guys. I know I was trying to set the record for going for a month without blogging but I just couldn't abandon you guys. I guess I'm a sucker sometimes.

Anyway, so after not being able to find (read:bothered to remember) anything worth quoting for a long bit, that medkid turned banker wannabe finally decided to start a blogs! And as of such we celebrate this momentous occasion with a quote by none other than the man himself:
"Waking up to see the stock market down also makes you feel like going back to sleep." - Bill

Go check him out here! (Not for the faint of heart. You have been warned)

Yeah. So, Holidays! I've done nothing but sit at home and in places outside my home. Feeling extremely unproductive at the moment so instead of updating you on all the things I could've been doing I'll just this short here.

with another apology. God there are a lot of these these days, I think I should hire connex to run my blog. Oh wait. Anyway this apology is directed at my fellow bloggers, seeing as I've been too busy attending to the details in my life to keep up to date with all the latest happenings in yours. It is very selfish of me but unfortunately it's just easier to be lazier. And Lazier is good, or so I hope.

"Think about it: If the outdoors were so good, then why did man invent indoors? Huh? Huh?!"-Joan, on my genius. While I can't remember saying that myself, I do think that is quite a flawless argument. No I will not stand to hear about anything otherwise.

 Anyway I haven't slept in nearly 20 hours thanks to work, and this was the first time I've seen the sun go down then up with my own two eyes in quite some time. It is quite a surreal experience and one I encourage the rest of you to try from time to time-from the safety and comfort of indoors of course.

I know I have neglected you alot in the past few...weeks...months...how long has it been now? But never mind my failures, I assure you that in my dreams I still think of you and it pains me with each passing day how I have failed you by failing to bore you with the forgettable details of my life.

But the good news is, there is still hope! It's when people say things like this
James:"The good thing about dating feminists is, you dont have to pay the bills...."
That really gets me inspired to write again, for whatever good that does. Anyhow I shall endeavour to come up with more content to blog about and actually write it down.

If you don't know already from being a regular reader of this blog, I've been busy as heck working on...well, stuff, as evidenced below:
Hungy:"So...has anyone done any work since the last time we met?"
Everyone:"...."
Bill:"Not moi."
Hanbo:"Not yet."
Hungy:"Nein either."
Joan:"Phew."
Bill:"Anyway, i'll try to do something before tomorrow."
Hanbo:"Ditto."
Hungy:"Ditto not. Well i'll try, but not very hard."
Joan:"I love going after this guy. Ditto hungy."
Bill:"And again, i was the idiot who put up his hand first..."

Oh Bill you. And yeah. Very busy indeeds.

That last post was what you call a midnight rant. Unfortunately I'm too lazy at the moment to write up anything proper, but i will try to a soon as motivation finds me.

Anyway after digging around the internet it seemed we were not so special as SI thought I was. Funny thing hindsight can be.

Anyway need more time off and need to stop working. Guh my arms hurt.

Another week, another busy as crap week, has gone by and I still haven't gotten anything done. In other news Alice is leaving us for the states (like various people) so we spent last night beaching her (in alcohol) until she got so annoyed at me that I just had to stay there and annoy her more. Nonetheless go have fun in the states!

Now then, uh, nothing much to report for now, except that that guy, Bread, apparently drank 48 beers in one night, resulting in the following discussion:
Lucy:"Does that even fit?"
Hanbo:"I don't think it's a stock variable..."
I was tempted to throw the usual 'that's what she..." but then Hanbo beat me to it.

Anyway if you look at the list from last week of my to-do list it looks exactly the same as my current to-do list so I better get going. Yes I'm still writing this post despite it not even being on my to-do list. What dedication, I amaze myself.

I didn't really plan to bog once every two weeks this last month, but like shit, also known as uni, is going down and plus remember that Job I said I had? Well I hadn't been fired yet, so it's all adding up to my list of things to do. I calculated the number of hours of free time I have: It works like so:
Out of a total 7x24=168 hours a week,

• 8*7=56 is spent sleeping, trying to go to sleep, not getting up, showering etc. etc. 112 hours remain
• 2*7=14 is spent eating. 98 hours remain
• 2*5=10 is spent travelling, to from school, between classes etc. etc. 88 hours
• 7+8+9+9=33 hours spent at uni even though I only have 20 contact hours. 55 hours left

Now this is usually where it stops, but now that I have work...

• 18 hours a week. 37 Hours remain.

Do you see that? 37 hours of procrastination. A week. Which means that approximately 4 hours worth of work a week gets done, since by my estimate I spent 10% of my valuable procrastination time procrastinating it away on work. That's a whole hour less than the five hours left that I used to have. But the worst part is, this is my to-do list at the moment:

origin upskill
MMI marketing plan
valuations/prob/study
CA-find hanbo
ASXSMG
AMP planning

dukes

I'm not even going to try and explain each of them. Need to go get cracking. Damn work.

since this post has the same timestamp on the editing page as the last post. However due to my cbsness and various other events, my meaning to write this post has been gradually reduced to can't be bothered over time. Anyway so, I'm on camp right now (more on this later...this is going to be my new catchphrase) and since I'm on camp everyone is telling me off for being on the internet.
Anyway I'll just get this quote out:
"...just reminded me, you have to shout me lunch sometime and I bought the voucher already."-Jacky
As you may know I have been working some more, and here are some other flavours of dishwashing liquid I have noticed:
-Chicken Broth
-Herb and spices
-Wasabi
-there was a lot more but i'm under time pressure right now so I don't remember.

 More on work since that's all I've done this holidays: there has been a noticeable difference in the quality of drinks I get while on the job. When I first started i got them in a tiny little 200ml mug. Then it became a large bar tumbler. Last week they put ice in my glass, and this week they even put a lemon in it! I can feel myself climbing the corporate ladder. Also I got a slight raise! Of like 20c per hour or something, which still sucks, but I mean, as Victor puts it:
"Gotta get the money to pay for whore one way or another. Whores I mean."-Victor
Like a boss.

Sorry for all the other quotes I said I'd quote, I lost them due to technical difficulties/human mistake/general laziness.

It was pretty cool. Now I haven't been updating because It's that time of the year, just past exams where I have very little reason to procrastinate and thus do not tend to write much, for better or worse. Anyway It's been a pretty packed weekend, starting with Friday, Chris Lee's party:
Long:"Chris where the hell are you guys?"
Chris:"We're at the royal botanical gardens, next to a tree."

Yes Chris Lee, how specific of you. Needless to say both Francis and Long both found themselves a tree to hang out at afterwards. Apart from that, happy birthday to Chris Lee!

Then I had work! Yes I found another job, and yes it is at another Japanese place. And yes the place is actually Japanese in the sense that there are real Japanese people in there, but more on that later. No I'm not making rice anymore, which kinda sucks.

Saturday night was craaaazy. Sam (the ladies man) decided to have a send off party for himself before he leaves for greener pastures, and being dutiful friends we rocked up and tried to get ourselves smashed. I must admit I'd never taken shots from a bar before, being a pov bastard but with so many people to embarrass myself in front of it was difficult to resist. Freaking alcohol is so damn expensive.

So I had about seven standard drinks worth of stuff, and I must say that despite my terrible tolerance (dizzyness after one), It wasn't all that bad. According to alco expert The ©Medkid™®, I haven't nearly had enough seeing as I wasn't making more than three spelling mistakes per line of typing I did, and that he himself did 12 on his first time and still tanked it. Ah well, I guess I'm just not cut out to be one of them.


Had a Bacardi 151, a Tequila and a Vodka from the bar, which I must confess tasted exactly the same to my uninitiated tongue/throat/stomach/whatever you're supposed to sample the shot with, the only difference being the degree of unpleasantness, of which the shots are listed in order of. I did cry manly tears of joy when that 151 went down though, just to celebrate ol' Sammy's birthday.

Wish shots were cheaper, as paying $15.50 for 30ml's of alcohol borders on the realm of ridiculousness. I guess they do provide the atmosphere for doing irresponsible things and the kind of things you'd never get away with, or the stuff you can but only with a lot of swank. While I'm at it I might as well pre-empt the inevitable: I take no responsibility for my actions while intoxicated. No better way for summing it up than this:
"Free is my favourite flavour."-Hanbo

It rhymes too, how's that for a motto? A happy birthday to Hanbo & Joan too while I'm at it! They successfully managed to make me stay up all night for once, and I must say days are quite short if you don't sleep them. And sleep deprivation is worse than alcohol.

Anyway I'm not paid to write these things and you're not paid to read these either so let's just leave it here for now. This holiday promises to be busy.

Today: I went to sleep at 4:45AM, after realizing that I should probably have slept instead of spending 3 hours sitting in bed reading my novel. If any of you are remotely interested in drama stories set in corporate America you might like Barbarians at the Gates by a pair of journalists Burrough and Heylar. I estimate I must've spent 18 waking hours nonstop absorbed in prose-it's Hollywood worthy material, plus it's about rich bastards/ investment bankers to boot.

Anyway I estimate I now have roughly 18 waking hours remaining until my last exam and I'm more than a week behind revision schedule out of the one week I scheduled to revise mech so I better get to that. Also today we have these quotes thanks to a pair of James' who probably haven't seen each other for a while, so, props to them!

"Never take drugs...always pay for them."-James
Such an upstanding citizen. Speaking of upstanding citizens: While out at dinner Fong criticizes that segment of the population which shall not be named:
'Oh no, it's not that; everyone saves seats, its just fobs do it with a serviette.'-Fong
This guy, I swear his wisecracks are always as the epitome of truth.

Also, my new laptop has decided to break down on me, with the f11, f4, f9, delete, insert, home, left, right and pause keys no longer working. This is highly distressing and makes formatting blog posts more time consuming than normal.

And if you haven't realised already this will be my excuse for not updating much for the immediate future.

Are those high octane times when everyone is on edge and funny stuff happens. Too bad I'm also on edge and being a lazy yadda yadda yadda here's something lifted shamlessly from Wiki.


Rest assured, I'm not about to drink my cologne, as while I aspire to be Russian my accent is still terrible at the moment. Speaking of faraway places, It's been a while since anyone's seen Steve in the flesh, so, lets see what he's been up to:
"...maybe one day I will turn my apartment building and surrounding area into steveville. Sounds better than Toowong anyway."-Steve

By the way, Steve needs to short sell a $20 exercise gadget or something from the inter-webs but he doesn't have a credit card so if anyone can help him please feel free to give him a hand.

Lastly today, to prove my main point about people being on edge, here is a survey of MSN PM's, as conducted by none other than Bill:
Prizes may not be given out to those who can identify the owners of said PM's correctly.

And not least, a little window into your average OJ's life-I asked OJ to come skiing with us for over mid semester break:
OJ:"...6 days with no trolling, I'm gonna be so fucked up..."
Hungy: "I'll bring my mobile net thing."
Oliver Jiang: "See, if it [net] was free, I might be able to download enough to make it worthwhile..."


Damn formatting these blog posts is taking forever.

That I am one lazy bastard. This epiphany stems from a discussion I've had with some terribly hard working Englishmen/women on how the letter "Z" should be enunciated. I say "Z" as in "Zee" but apparently the people who're more English than me tell me it is "Zed", and that makes me a good for nothing American who can't speak English. When I tried to impress them with my mastery of English in saying that "Zed" has two syllabubs and thus is harder to pronounce than "Zee" which has only one syllabub, I had the two different Z's repeated for me until I accepted that they both had one Syllabub, and that other letters such as "W" also have two syllabubs. Yes I know people who went through primary school call it a syllable.

I lost that debate, but since no one can tell me off in my blog posts I'm going to proudly display my American colours by saying that I will say "Zee" instead of "Zed". Just try saying it for yourself. Even if they're both single syllabubbed "Zee" very obviously uses only a fraction of the effort it takes to say "Zed", which requires you to make the "Zee" sound anyway before making the "ed" sound which requires twice the effort to say than the first part (god bless Americans). Why use more effort when you can use less? Which leads me to conclude that I am still (proudly) a lazy bastard.

I will now justify my position based on research undertaken by Viv:
 "...Yes people don't see sheep as the most intelligent animals but sheep are still very good at being sheep!"-Viv
If I can't be more English than the rest of you, I'll be the best lazy bastard there is.

And I should stop procrastinating, even though that won't happen since I'm best at being lazy. My latest procrastination method happens to be internet radio; I have just discovered my music player has built in support for net radio, which happens to be the best thing ever. Maybe now I can finally know the names of songs less than ten years old at parties. Speaking of procrastination, it is too long for such an often used word. We should find a replacement for it. But I digress, speaking of procrastination:
"Haha you sound like me....I remember the good old days when I used to sleep before midnight "-Annie

Those days huh.

Can be surprisingly realistic. For example, as I was reading the instruction booklet the other day I came across:
"Banks never go bankrupt. If the bank runs out of money, it can simply make more money by writing down values on paper in order to keep the game going." I wonder if the person who wrote the rules is a central banker or something.

Here's something for Kancelot, who I know visits my blog a lot because he leaves comments. Enjoy the new colour scheme!
Yunghan:"How many wedges do you think I can steal from Khoa before he notices?"
Hungy:"Uh....three, maybe?"
Yunghan:"Does that includes ones i've already taken?"
Hungy:"Sure, I guess."
Yunghan:"Alright. One more to go."

Here's a shoutout to Khoa for supplying the wedges that generated today's awesome quote.

I can't be bothered writing anything today. It's been a long day and a longer week. Can't wait to get this semester over and done with.

Jacky is thinking similar things:
"Don't worry man, if I screw up big enough the government will bail me out."-Jacky

And some stuff from the interwebs as presented by the ever dynamic:
"Went outside: graphics were pretty good but gameplay sucked."-Hanbo
"Appended was: the basic AI programming also sucks"-Fong
 I apologize if you are the true owner of these quotes, but nobody's making any money off them so even if you sued it probably won't be worth your time.


Finally Victor giving some solid advice on how to use the internet, for chums:
"...saw this: 'A forum post should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.'"-Victor

Okay guys, the truth is, I have no idea what to do with presents. I don't get them very often and unlike some people I can't really bring myself to jump up and down, so...I guess I should apologize for not being enthusiastic as I should have? Okay if you're reading this and you have any idea what I'm talking about I'm going to feel like an unappreciative bastard so I'll just stop. Appearances are important. Ahem.

But I do appreciate it though! Even if it doesn't seem that way. You idiots make me feel terrible, but that's okay since I still love you all. Almost as much as I love my new bear, who I have named Junior:


Yes, he's a freakin' cameod army bear. In a suit. Sitting at a desk. Like a boss.
And Hanbo I realised the problem I have with your penguins: None of them have any flippers. But thanks for putting in the effort for someone's arbitrary milestone though.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way  and before I forget, here's Francis' (who hasn't been featured in a loooong, no thanks to uni) gripe with the world:
"...seriously though! What is wrong with saying "I am now going to touch your left breast" or "can you please expose your left breast?" I even said please..."-Francis, Medkid in training

Oh also, it makes me sad to push quality posts down, but I also did update the penguin comic strip on that post I did earlier so be sure to check it out before it expires!

It seems that there are loyal readers out there who actually read this (and come back!), more than just once every year when Stooph posts and makes everyone read it. Pressure! But thankfully I have a failproof quote today:
Hungy:"Man, I need a new suit...old one's getting too large for me."
Yunghan:"That's easy, all you need to do is grow back into it."
Flawless advice, as always.

Back on topic, I know I promised a lot, and you must believe me when I say I had good intentions, but it seems that I forgot to get the photos from dad's camera before I left the magical wonderland that is Africa.  Anyhow seeing as none of you like to read posts without pictures, and more important I can't be bothered writing posts without pictures. No seriously.

But I did take some photos on phone and if you've ever wondered what a chimney looks like from the top on a christmas eve:













I'm sorry it's shoddy, I had to hold the torchlight at the same time. Yes I climbed onto the roof of dad's place in the Republic. He had this little fort thing built on his roof, and it's real shame I didn't take pictures of it-it was like he was preparing to do a holdout from it in the case of an emergency.


And Actually I did manage to find some photos from my little excursion. See this one below:


Yes I hear you saying "Hungy, that's nice, but it's just a piece of scenery. You've been filling your blog up with nothing but scenery." So what makes this bit of real estate special? Good thing I filmed a bit of it in action. And no your headphones/speakers are fine; there is no audio (see below)

Yes, make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen: In my travels I have stumbled upon nothing short of the forge of clouds itself. It is here where baby clouds are drawn from the air and begin their lives as the ones who bring the goddamn rain to the rest of Africa (ever wonder why there's so much clouds on my FB album). A most profound discovery! And the reason why there's no sound is because it consist of me going hysterical at the discovery and people going 'what is that guy on' in the background, which isn't all that special.

I leave you with yet another piece of scenery for you to hate on. Abused dad's panoramic lens and the 1DM4 while I could. (Look at all the clouds!)
Also Blogger still doesn't like large photos :\

"I saw someone who looked just like you back there. He was a little taller and a looked a bit more dissatisfied."-Fong, James Fong.

Yes renovations to this blog are underway. Please stick with me until I get it and the last part of Africa up.

I'd be saying something like
"I am tired of these muthaF***in' babies on this muthaf***in plane."
Because seriously, babies do not belong on planes. Let me briefly explain:

1. Babies are loud. While you could argue that because of the jet engines and whatever you'll never get any peace and quiet on a plane anyway, babies are on a whole different level. Their shrilly supralto voice range could probably make bats and dolphins cry if they really tried.
2. Babies like to cry. Especially when they're not comfortable, e.g. on a plane.
3. People get tired on long plane hauls. Unless you're a rich bastard flying first class with your private concierge or whatever.

Add all of that together, for 24 hours (okay not 24 hours straight, but it adds up) and it's not cool.

TL;DR: Yes I'm back, And yes I know I'm missing the other half of my oh so interesting trip and I'll endeavour to get it up when I get around to getting it up. Goodnight all.

Dear Stooph,

Thanks for your enduring concern for my well being, I shall endeavour to enjoy myself and put what you have taught me to good use. As for those AK's, I must report that I am unable to find a Vintage '47 model, and the few who do possess those artifacts are unwilling to part with them. I shall try to find you one however, but for the mean time I hope this post will make up for any inconveniences.

Your faithful Cousin,
Hungy

Dear Hungy,

While I do hope you enjoy your stay in Africa, please do remember that
I require an AK-47, so do try to remember to send one back home to us.

If you are finding it difficult breaking the ice, I've got a few conversational starters for you:

a) If you're from Africa, how come you are white?
b) Yes, I have drugs
c) In Africa you have lions that hunt everything and anything, in China we have asians who hunt everything and anything.
d) What is up my Nigerian Prince
e) My hand is a dolphin.
I hope these were helpful for you,

Have a great stay in SA.
From your cousin,
Stooph

Having landed in Johannesburger on the fine hour of 7am friday morning, Dad proceeded in wasting no time getting us whisked off to a random side-quest town called Secunda, which is Portuguese or Spanish for 2nd for whatever reason. The only reason we went there was so that he could play golf with a friend of his who came down from Zimbabwe.
By the way, the hotel/casino is literally the only building in a 50kilometre radius:



And this is what it looks like from my hotel room. Ignore the one on FB, that's was actually from the reception. Must be one the few places in the world where there's a
hotel, complete with golf course
golf course, complete with hotel in the middle of large suspicious cooling towers.


And this is how I'm getting these blogs written up: You can't say i'm not dedicated to you, dear reader.


Slept for 2 hours as soon as I got to this hotel place. Not sleeping properly for 36 hours isn't much fun at all. Also thanks for all your kind clicks on the lulz button, I hope you shall continue to support poor children in Africa in the future. The same goes for comments without saying.

Notice: Due to the fact that internet is retarded here in africa and that it won't really make much sense to publish all my pre-written (yes, you read that right) blog posts all at once, updates will be delayed and put up whenever I get internet.
