type='text'>Renovations</title><content type='html'>Okay.So I spruced this blog up a bit.Tell me if you like it.I've also decided i'll make an effort in my posts from now on,like actually fixing my punctuation and stuff.So here's to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ive been feeling on edge for the last two days.Australia have just collapsed in the ashes,and im still in denial with whats actually happened.But take it on record,i predict that Australia will score those 500 runs,set a new world record and claim the ashes.Mark my words:P.They better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been having to catch up on assignments lately.I'm especially annoyed with economics.Not that its like 1500 words or anything,but the whole fact that ive took out heaps of crap to condense it,to a writable essay in 40 mins(1100 was still too ambitious though,my hand was dead when i wrote it in a trial).And so now ive got the arduous job of finding all the crap i took out,and plugging it back in.Eurgh.Note to self, safe drafts.I've actually got to start chem now,and i still have absolutely no idea what its about.Holidays are actually looking surprisingly enticing at present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did doorknocking yesterday.Was interesting to say the least.It made me think about my ideas on humanity.Like seriously,are we so pre-occupied with our existence that we are unable to look at the bigger picture?Is it because we dont notice what we're doing?Or is it because we're scared to look,because were worried about what we'll find?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another things been bugging me for a while as well.Did you know that Australia is the only first world economy that had reduced their expenditure on education.Like seriously I feel ashamed.Especially when the pollies brag that were not as affected with GFC than everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Do List&lt;br /&gt;-Clean the junk in my ipod&lt;br /&gt;-Read up on complex&lt;br /&gt;-Study for Business Test&lt;br /&gt;-Finish Chem&lt;br /&gt;-Download Music from itunes giftcard&lt;br /&gt;-Go to English Tut&lt;br /&gt;-Start Studying For TRIALS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and Im getting a beagle next year.Haha,im

type='text'>curry/asian party</title><content type='html'>well as you can see this blog is pretty much dead...courtesy of my laziness...but ahh well,i'll post anyway...and besides i doubt anyones gonna even read this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all of you who know dont know what the annual curry/asian party(note the curry comes first...=D)...heres a quick run down....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chris's Birthday marks the annual curry/asian party date.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pretty much we just throw a party for him&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;However,what used to happen was only a select few were allowed to the Chris's asian party(as it was called then)-these were Phil,John,Brendan,Garner,Chris(of course)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Phil would traditionally bring the food (asian of course),tell the "select few" about the "rendeavuau point",and they would all disappear one lunch time...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Needless to say,this carried on for a few years,but it all stopped dramatically 2 years ago.During that fateful lunch time...those "select few" ran to the "rendeavuau point" only to have milan and Steven actually follow them...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;BUT instead of telling both of them to piss off,they allowed Milan to stay,but told steven to go....&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Steven went back to Art Quad,and was deeply cut(i know,i i know im dramaticing it ten fold).The rest who were there...Norman,Mechan,Johnny,Steven,Zhou,struck up a ingineous plan...if these guys were gonna have a fancy asian party...then they were gonna match it with a CURRY PARTY-(ingineous i know).So Johnny and Norman went to the canteen bought a stack load of lollies(they were indian lollies ok!?!?)...and joined the rest of them at the Clark House Lawns...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;For the rest of lunch, they ate the lollies,and named that auspicious day the Curry Party...in defiance of the totalitarian beauracy that prevented them from belonging.They vowed that this "curry party" would one day rise and overthrow the asian party...(i know,im just ripping stuff of my english speech now....lol)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeh thats how the curry party originated...i exaggerated a tiny bit...but its mainly factual.In about a week it'll be that time of year again...and just for convenience we decided to merge the events together ..to call it the annual curry/asian party...or even the casian party...lol...OR even the curasion party...OR EVEN the caucasion party....wait a sec...CAUCASIAN WHAT!?!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
