choo choo! cha ching!

okok stupid title.. but yar.. running low on brain power at the moment.. since no one documented it, i've decided to take the initiative to write this short "filler".. okok.. let's begin..

Sometime ago me (gaius), danny, arthur, dessy, jin weng, and Shaun (correct spelling?) paid a visit to a certain sushi outlet on gouger st. Sooooo.. sounds pretty normal yar?? anyway, for whatever reason we found ourselves there (believe me there was a reason), it soon turned into a bit of a feast.. well.. this pretty much just applied to our 2 sushi connoisseurs Desmond and Arthur..

Here's a quick pic of the feast they had... wait wait, it gets better! if u're not familiar with how sushi train works, the cost of each dish is colour coded.. here's the breakdown.

Anyway, to save u the trouble of checking it urself, the bill came up to an even $50 for the 2 sushi addicts.. shocking yar? $25 each!!! well just comparing to me and danny with our $12 bill u get the idea.. of course we were starving while they continued to eat but our wallets took less of a hit.. anyway, here's the 'cherry topping' for our little story.. our 2 dear noobs ended up paying ~$75 for their meal! think there was an error with the bill but no one noticed until we left the place.. sososo.. that's pretty much the end of this little episode..

now if u're still wondering about y we ended up at sushi train in the first place, perhaps i'll enlighten u a little.. let's just say there was a certain someone working there that a certain other someone wanted to see.. okok.. u can figure it out urselves.. i dun wanna embarass anybody.. if that certain other someone wants to edit the post, feel free to lar..

jininho - gaius might be too nice to say it so i'll take the honours this time, that certain someone from the noobs isssssss...danna (of cos =p), but ask him for more details if u wana =D

Rake Crabbing @ Thompson Beach

Following the original plan, the noobs were suppose catch some crabs. However, true to Murphy's Law, it all went wrong. Only two of the noobs turned up. Nonetheless, here is their story..

At approximately 1000, we embark on our journey. It took us about45 minutes to get there. Throughout the journey there, the scenery was nothing but vast empty lands spanning the horizon. One cannot help but think that SA is such a big place.

Upon arriving at our destinition, we were greeted by the warm sun and buzzing flies ( which were freaking irritating). Stupid aussie flies seems to have an affinity of buzzing near our faces. Maybe we are just a good looking bunch.lol

The beach is a breathtaking place. The warm sun burning our skin, the gentle breeze that carrasses our faces, the light blue sky, the clear waters, the sound of waves crashing, the sounds of birds chirping. It was all too alluring and calm. This crab sanctuary.A great place to escape from the bustling, noisy and dusty city.

After lubing up ourselves with sun block, we armed ourselves with our trustee rakes and pails
and charged towards the fatty crabs.





For the next 2hours or so, we thread the water in search of crabs. Maybe i should explain the arcane technique of rake crabbing. When u spot a crab (which is the hardest part), approach it with stealth. Next, use the rake and rake it to death. Chances are, the crab will flee forward, and in that case, just proceed to rake the shit out of it. However, if the crab flee towards you, you are basically screwed. Just jump and shout like a girl.

According to Lily, the other technique is to allow the crab to attach itself to one of your hands. Using the other hand, just simply grab the crab from the back. Talking about craziness, one dude who was with us actually grabbed a crab with his barehands, while coming face to face with the crab!

After a hard day of work, we manage to caught a decent 20 crabs or so.I'll upload some videos of crabbing action and a panoromic view of the beach later.

Satisfied with our catch, we headed back home where a feast of delicious fatty crabs awaits.

The noob's gundam collection (EDITED)

time for a quick rundown on what happened when kangkang n i (chern leing was with us as well hahah) went gundam shopping at some shop near my place...had a look around n stumbled upon 2 similar Wing Zero Customs!! woohoo...dream come true, the best thing is that it was only $10.95, which is cheaper than what ganinho can get from that shop on hindley (including the 20% discount) =p...only negative is that they didn't sell Strike Freedom which was the other gundam i wanted, but i guess u can't win them all rite? =)

just a brief introduction to the pictures posted (for all the gundam noobs out there):
- first picture shows ganinho's gundam, supposedly the normal one most ppl in the army use -_-
- pic number 2 is Justice from gundam seed, the same series which produced Strike Freedom
- the 3rd and 4th pictures are those of kangkang's zakus...one red n one white, i'm not that much of a gundam fan so dun ask me the type n build pls...
- Last and 5th pictures are our Wing Zero Customs (newly bought and built XD)...no prizes for guessing which one is mine and which one is not, especially for those of u who've been to my place =p
- 6th picture is that of kangkang's Freedom, which is ALMOST the gundam i want (Strike Freedom ~= Freedom) hehe...maybe one day i'll find it...

WANTED! Students at large!

On the 16th of November 2006 at about 12 noon, certain criminal activities were witnessed in the Electrical Mathematics Computer suite.. Eight to nine students whose identity remains undisclosed committed the crime of PLAYING GAMES in a study environment using the university's prime resources.. About 2 hours into their ghastly crime Mr Stephen Guest (see right), laboratory manager of the uni's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, walked into the scene armed with a loud voice and serious tone and began stripping the alleged criminals of all dignity and joy. After an intense warning that send the rebels on the way, some of whom were rumoured to have continued they devious schemes in CATS suite or something, an official email was sent to all current students to avert further such activities.

Crabbing (Rake or Net)?

Just a post about our crabbing plans. Well we have two options, net crabbing at henley (i think) or rake crabbing. Rake crabbing involves more prep..i've been there once during my first year and i cant remember where the heavens it is. THe place is called Thompson beach. Where the heck is that!? .. u asked?

so if you guys are keen on a good adventure we set a tentative date of Monday(15/11/06) cos its a nice and sunny day. I have only 3 rakes though.

Or else, we just go to boring henley?

something to consider when boredom sets in...

tired? bored? just a suggestion of something to do...something to ease the pain of preparing for exams =p.

i haven't played done this for a long long time...but a coupla days back i was at EM as per usual, then suddenly one of our frens (the extinct one according to kessi) came in...n she was being random, challenged me to the game called 'conquer' haha...rings any bells? i haven't played this since primary school ok...so i guess she thought that she could bully me and then brag about it =D...methinks she's still trying to find something that she's better than me in (with the exception of shopping + all that girly stuff lol)

guess what? the result of the game is as shown...n no prizes for guessing who used the pen =p, the wannabe conquerer got conquered i guess...nice try tho...well not really *evil laughter*....enuff said.
