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.
