Short post
Title says it all, might do a proper blog later, when things of great importance [ie. the fear of getting a generic houseparty message + a poorly planned hp] are at stake.
In the meanwhile:
Two things to share:
1. While I don't care about politics at all, i still find this hilarious: [From GNW]
"One year ago, Malcolm Turnbull wanted to lead the Liberal party so badly....and now, Malcolm Turnbull is leading the Liberal party, SO BADLY!"
2. ....You know, the thought of watching twilight/new moon isn't so bad anymore, after going to the dentists today. [OW PAIN?! Serves me right for not going for the past 2 years]

Halloween + HSC= H(alloween + SC)
....I don't know whats going through my mind, nor the processes that it took to make such a crappy title. Oh well, it suffices for a short post.
It's been a while since i've been on my blog, thanks to everyone thats commented/read it =), i don't want to end up making another long post just to thank/comment on each comment *shakes fist at the limitations of blogger*, but it still means alot to me =).
Today be halloween! The only day where little kids can come knocking at your door for lollies and you're able to give them some without being labelled a paedophile! Not that we'll be doing too much about it since we're in the middle of HSC...
HSC has been a blur for me; I feel like its just going through the motions of trials again, except the memory cells present within me don't make it so bad this time...It's like i've gone on autopilot. I ceebs elaborating on how I went with all my exams since you'll just get the generic indifference I normally show after an exam anyway. However; I will say this:
NO MORE HSC ENGLISH OR MATHS EVER!!!!
*celebration*. I don't care if my hand hurts or if Mod B was a !#%$ of a question, the joy of knowing its over far outweighs it, whats done is done, right? =D
Chem and Phys remain- feel alright for both; hopefully we've all learnt our lesson from the 6 marker "sanitisation" question. Who knows, maybe it'll be in the hsc and everyone else will get 1/6 for it xP. Should really start revising for phys though....oh option course how I loathe thee :(
To end on a lighter note, since the family is out, and little kiddies are trick-or-treating tonight, and being one who's "obliged to give kids lollies", here are a list of things to do scare the living daylights out of the little blighters. [Aside: Being in the ruse bubble of asians that are stereotypically lablled as "anti-social kids with overprotective parents", does your neighbourhood do that?]
NB: Since we've run out of lollies; I'm not going to do anything tonight; since i'll feel guilty scaring them/turning them away without anything. Also, I will NOT be doing many of these myself; my want to do medicine/a future career with a clean criminal record is very high.
1. Bloody your face/hands with tomato sauce or something.. Have a cap gun. When they knock, go trigger happy, stumble, open the door, scream "run for your lives! theres a madman" [or something to that effect] and run out the door.
2. Katana + you're the crazy guy going "GET OFF MY PROPERTY OR I'LL KILLS YOU!"
3. [credits to chris] Balaclava + small tv + gloves. When they knock, open the door whilst carrying aforementioned tv, have a startled look, make a dash for the road.
4. Good old fashioned "empty home" then burst out at the last minute.
5. Tell them they're going to get an atar of less than 99.9 [OH SHOCK HORROR! D:...then again, that'll only work on the potential ruse students in the surburb, ie. no-one]
Kids be knocking at my door. Isn't halloween meant to be late at night? or has the whole "tradition" of scaring people decomposed to just "scab lollies on oct31". Then again australia doesn't focus too much on that [proof: christmas decorations up already in shops O_o]
Oh dear I've been going on a cynical rant again...I should be studying; oh well, I'll stop it here then.
Only a few exams left everyone! All the best, theres much a relaxin to do afterwards =D

The fainting process
Apologies in advance if this blog feels...convoluted =P
Feel really drained from today, carrying the flag is rather tiring. But hey, someone has to do it =D. And I suppose it probably isn't as bad as carrying a sword for longer amounts of time [Then again, the epicness of holding a sword probably counter balances that]. I've been convinced after today that I really need to work out, my right arm feels numb...Anyone know a good/cheap place to get dumbbells? I mean, why not lift a few weights while waiting for a reply in convo, game, or trying to figure out a maths question?
Oh, not to mention the epic arm-wrestle #2 match between ringo and htl; more to follow on that =P.
Cadets! I'll miss being able to come to school in DPCU/Polys now, and most of all, the bivs we get to go on, the countless moments that spring up...though on the upside; no more drill! :D :D :D
Speaking of drill; todays passing out parade drill was pretty awesome, methinks. Goes to show how much a drum squad can make the difference; I mean, if you can't keep in time with the help of drums, then theres something wrong...=\.
On the topic of drums...its so catchy! I've noticed how my walking pace is exactly the same pace as the drum beat from today....great >_>. Oh well, halting in the hall; wow! no fails! [from my side anyway].
On the topic of fail; [wow, i'm tangenting like bialy here] heh, I think its safe to say that while the rest of the company was good, it was made up for the fact that most of us year 12s stuffed up on way or another....to illustrate my own:
- Brasso fail! D: .what on earth is it made out of? accidentally spilled some, got on my pants....[what makes it worse is the fact I think Morris saw it T_T]. Tried to clean it with:
Water; that didn't work.....maybe something more non-polar?
Ethanol; Hooray for the resourceful library having 66%w/w ethanol :D [ie. antibacterial hand-sanitisers]. Cleaned it up a bit, but it was still pretty obvious. Eh, beggars can't be choosers.
- Hall entrance; whoever set up the hall....it was a bit narrow, though I guess it had to accomodate the school, so it can't be helped. End result: I half-tripped over a chair [and subsequently knocked it down] upon entering.
-Flag-partying; Sorry mawson, entirely my fault for not syncing with you down the stairs....and we went so well in rehearsal ><" This is probably pretty common, ever had those situations where everything goes so well in practice, then in the real thing it just goes to pieces? I suppose that could be similar...to say preparing your english essay for hours on end, having your teacher say its good, only to have it ripped to shreds in the exam? /end digressing. Oh, and to those that are curious; NO carrying that flag generally does NOT hurt. If you place it in right way, even when you turn and march, it won't hurt at all. HOWEVER; It DOES hurt when you have a brief lapse in concentration and you forget to dip the flag at a low-height area....not on the place where it hurts the most, but still alot of pain... Here are some piccies throughout the day [told you it was convoluted]
Lol.
Yay! Epic flag party! =D. And....to belle if you're reading this- Is it just me or did the photo my dad take look strangely identical to your photo? =S...then again, its trees, same thing.
Free food from the cadet "luncheon"! Who can say no to that? =P
The on-going feud between htl and unsuspecting camera shots =P. [Dw, in everyones collection theres probably a heap with me in your place xD]
Heres one half the table
Heres Milo, Chris and mysel- I mean, Alan xD
And theres belle, nicole and ambert =)
Ruse 09 Cadets [-Mawson]
And....the silly photo, because we can xD
Hmmm, found Mr. Morris' speech pretty interesting today, especially how most, if not all of it was true. There is no doubt that the will prove useful in the future; we've had first aid bashed into us so much its in our heads, we know how to take care of ourselves should crud rocket skywards, we know how to remain self-controlled [most of the time], not to mention learn how important it is for people to stick together as a section, regardless of personality [given the fact culture and age is near neglegible here =P].
Ok, this post is going to be drastically shortened, since theres other stuff I need to do...[darn, how can one blog so much in so little time? D:. whats your secret?]
I've been thinking...with events that have recently occured, death is inevitable. Thinking back to church service....T1? and kyck 08; whats on your bucket list? Whats on the list of things you want to do before you metaphorically 'kick the bucket' [incidentally, where did that term come from? =S]. If death came knocking at your door tomorrow, would you be ready? Your dreams and ambitions, they're all good, but would death put a major dent in them?
Talking with tina and mawson in maths last week, it got me thinking....It has probably been my life-long? or at least a dream for me to do medicine, and possibly go missionarying + doctor in some war-torn, 3rd world country, depending on future circumstances.
But what if I get shot down in the plane on the way? Or get a brain tumour in uni? [ok, maybe melodramatic, but who knows, we fail to realise how life can come and go so easily in today's world] Been reminded about how things we do in this should be to magnify Christ's love for us in our lives, through life AND by death, [Philippians 1:20-21], and well, I am aware that it might seem odd from a non-Christian viewpoint, but even if I die in the process, praise God all the more! Sure...realistically speaking, there might be slight feelings of disappointment for not being able to do what you want in life, but..."whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." Even if I were to die tomorrow, I'd probably go in peace, I mean, theres greater things to look forward to thats eternally greater than the things we have right now!
Check out and read Philippians sometime, rather than me just spewing passages that could potentially be taken out of context =D.
And...I'm advertising this of my own accord; but check out simon's post, I found it quite interesting and challenging to read, maybe you will too?
Wow, I take ages to write....should write more often, guess thats enough from me for now.
All the best for the coming weeks everyone!
