It's been quite a while since I last posted here. I guess that its probably because I've been having such a busy holiday. Probably one of the busiest holidays I've ever had!
Starting from my trip to Japan, I had a really good time. I was able to do all of the things that I wanted to do, but I still want to go back... I've thrown the idea at Jay, saying we should go together, that way I can stay at his place ahaha. Hopefully we actually have the money to go one day!
Been going out quite often lately, and most of the time its at night, probably because I can drive now so we can just go places whenever we want lol. I can't wait till I get my green P's. Just half a year to go!
I've been trying a lot of new things lately and its been really good. It's kind of like getting life experience. I used to not be able to comment about things because I had no experience, I wouldn't know what I'm talking about, but now that I have at least tried it, I can have an opinion on it.
Things are really gonna start changing for me though. Uni starts soon.
I'll be moving out of my old high school routine and beginning anew, changing most of my habits and my life in general. I hope I meet a lot of people too. One main thing I want to take out of uni is to make new friends!
I really feel like I'm growing up and becoming more mature now lmaoo.

2/1/12
fail. So much for first post on the first day of the new year haha. oh well.
New years was pretty good. To be honest it doesn't really feel like 2012 already. I guess it has been a pretty up and down year for me. I feel like a different person though, now that we've reached a new year. With all the decisions I've made this year, I reckon it could have been a better year.
Had New Years bbq at Dena's, again. Since her parents are away, that seems to be the only place we go lol. It was pretty chilled, there wasn't too many people though, since so many people were away for new years this year. Duc and stuff also left early to go clubbing lol.
At first I wasn't actually planning to crash, but then I decided to drink, so I kind of had to. Slept pretty well though, and I had plenty of energy for church the next day so it worked out quite nicely. It's just been too hot these days.. D:
The only annoying thing about starting this new year is stuff to do with my Japan trip. 2 of my travel companions are not on top of things. It makes me hate being the only one who can seem to organise everything. sigh.
On a brighter note, I've been sick for a few days, and I'm finally almost better!

christmas day
Merry Christmas!
Today was Christmas, which came surprisingly fast. I had the Christmas church service this morning, and after that we picked up some stuff for our bbq and just chilled at Geoff's house. We also went to Spicy Fish in Glen Waverley for lunch haha. Trust the asians to work on Christmas Day.
While we were at Geoffs, him and Calv had the idea to test fit some gold wheels onto my liberty. Now I didn't agree at first, because I mean come on, gold wheels? It's like I'm a wannabe STI. But since Geoff has them on his car, we tried them anyway, and I have to say, it actually didn't look half bad.
Geoff's reasoning was that because it's a Subaru, it has to have gold wheels. I personally don't like gold wheels that much. I actually want my rims to be black, so that when I paint my calipers they'll stand out ahaha.
Anyway, after that eventful afternoon, we went to Dena's place to set up for the bqq, but since it the weather was pretty horrible we had it under her garage door lol. It was still nice and chilled, and the food was good too. Stayed until pretty late, even played a little dota because some of the working class guys brought their laptops to play dota LOL.
That's pretty much all that happened on Christmas day. I have a family dinner/christmas party thing tomorrow though, so that should be good!

Geoff's Workshop
So today I took my car down to my friend's place to get my head-unit installed, since I don't know how the wiring works.
He calls me up around 12 and tells me there is this deal at eb where you get an alpine head-unit and speakers for the same price as my original head-unit. Needless to say I got it, and he tells me his friend was working so he got it the $197 deal for $157. Pretty awesome.
So we installed both the head-unit and speakers, speakers in the front of course, and it took a few hours and quite a bit of work, since the speakers didn't fit nicely.

Liberty
So I know I haven't updated in a very long time. So here we go. In order to keep this post from becoming an essay, I'll summarise Hong Kong very quickly.
My trip in Hong Kong was good. Bought a lot of stuff and caught up with a few friends as well. Very chilled, very relaxed.
Back in Melbourne, not too much special has really happened. Most exciting thing is probably the fact that I now officially have my own car! It's a '97 Subaru Liberty GX AWD.
Quite happy with it if I do say so myself. Since this is my car now, I can do what I want with it, as long as it's with my own money.
So to start things off I bought a new head-unit. The stock one in the car only plays cassette and radio, which is pretty lame, so I bought a new one and going to ask Geoff to help me install it, since I'm don't know how the wiring works.
Then I plan on taking it somewhere just to get it serviced quickly, to double check there are no major problems, and then lowering it as well, since it's too high for my liking.
After that, I will get some new speakers and maybe even new amps. My new head-unit can run 2 amps, and I already changed the battery to a newer one myself, so it should run ok. Only problem will be money lol.
Rims after that of course, but that is probably still going to be a while away haha.
So much stuff to do, so little money.. D:
There was also the matter of my ATAR score this week. But to be honesty I don't really care that much about it compared to other people. I did ok, most people would think its pretty bad, but for the effort I put in this year I reckon its alright. Gonna try for Monash Science, if not RMIT nanotech or biotech. Next thing I have to do is get a job and money from the government to pay for my uni fees lol.
