Daily Life – 27.04-27.05.2011

Phew… The past month has been so slow yet so long… School is such a strain and it’s holding me back from blogging… I received my half-yearly report to the dissatisfaction of my parents, (not surprised) and I really do need to pick my game for a good education if I’m to get anywhere in my future life right? But that hasn’t really stopped me from going out and about recently, which you will find, is mostly about food. =P

(What you see above is a Tuna Tataki dish from “Kushiyaki Azuma” a fairly classy Japanese Restaurant tucked away in “Regents Place” behind the George Street Cinemas in Sydney.)

Welcome to 2011 as Gochisou-deshita turns One!

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2011 is just as awesome or even better than 2010 for you! I certainly hope so!

Today also marks the first year gochisou-deshita.net has been online! Which, I’m rather proud of, and I look forward to continue blogging throughout 2011 and hopefully, even the next few years! A big thanks to everyone who has read and visited my blog throughout the year! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to announce some rather surprising (to me) numbers!

:: Blog Stats
Total number of hits – 6568
Total number of posts – 176
Most viewed page – SMASH! – Anime and Manga Convention – 2010 with 651 views. (10% of my total blog hits?!)

I originally planned on celebrating by creating some fun New Years image and a new, better looking layout, but unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to do so. Though, you should expect a change in layout within the coming days. =D

Once again, Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all throughout 2011 and beyond!

Daily Life – 07.11 – 04.12.2010

November was an unusually dry month… and by dry, I mean, lacking interesting content rather than unseasonal… In fact, we’ve actually had quite a bit of rain… But yeah, so this goanna water dragon payed a visit to our school earlier in November…

Spring Holidays – 20.09-08.10.2010

I’m somewhat depressed… The holidays are almost over, and come Monday, I should probably get down to do some serious business… In terms of study… But I won’t whinge about that now… This post is about reminiscing the Spring Holidays of 2010 in photo form, which has been jam-packed with social outings and stuff. One of the best holidays ever. =D

My Birthday! – 31.08.2010

Okay, so this time, it was time to celebrate my birthday!

Shannon gave me this little Dinosaur plush. I decided that it’d be a she, and her name is Misuzu, named after the main character from the anime “Air”, where she believes that dinosaurs made the noise “gao*

Leon’s Birthday! – 21.08.2010

So, it was recently my good friend Leon‘s Birthday, and so today Leon, Shannon, Nick and I went down to Darling Harbour to go eat some foods from a place we normally wouldn’t eat at ‘cos we’re poor and stuff… =D

Games of the XXIX Olympiad are now over.

Well, I handed in my Food Tech Assignment on Friday after doing it all Thursday… I don’t expect that high of a mark, as the quality of my work was not that great and I didn’t quite answer the questions being asked, but nevertheless, I’ve got it done, and handed it in… Probably would have done something better had I spent more time on it. I also did an English Assessment at school Thursday. I’m pretty sure I kinda killed that, and so I would expect something like 8 or possibly 9 out of 15 for that thing. I got my maths test result on Friday also. I got a nice healthy 91%, so I’m happy with that =D. I procrastinated studying for that one…

I’ve been so lazy the past few days! The text above ^ was supposed to be published on Friday but I got so lazy, I just couldn’t be bothered. The weekend was fun, although it went by too quickly for me. I went to Daniel’s birthday party over the weekend. It was really fun, and I found it rather relaxing actually. I really like the night… Being near a beach, I spent some of the time just lying there, staring at the stars… It felt good, to be able to feel as though that there’s nothing wrong with your life even momentarily… It was very nostalgic… Too bad I can’t do it more often… Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to sleep on on any day of the weekend though :(…

Well, wasn’t it fun? The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics came to a close yesterday, and now the boring TV shows return… I do look forward to new seasons of “Heroes”, “Prison Break” and “How I Met Your Mother” though. China finished on top of the medal tally by 15 gold medals over the United States. Australia finished 6th on the medal tally with 14 gold, 15 silver, and 17 bronze which makes a total of 46 medals all together. Although, if counting the tally by total medals, the US is first with 110 in total, China 2nd finishing on 100, and Australia would be placed 5th, leading Germany by 5, and behind Great Britain by 1. Now we wait for London, 2012, for the Games of the XXX Olympiad. As a result of the games being over, I change the header image back to the default one.

Funness in a hole!

Well, on the weekend, I went to Sam’s place for his birthday (those who know me should know where he lives and so therefore the reason of the title) along with another two people known to me as Coby and Julian. Anyway, none of us got much sleep that night… In fact, Sam was the one to get the most sleep and got more than Julian, Coby and I combined got… That was fun… We spent most of the time playing “Grand Theft Auto IV” and crashing cars and helicopters and stuff…

I got my half-yearly report on Friday, and all of my marks were above average but they still were pretty terrible… Which reminds me, I have an English Assessment task thing due next week that I’ve just started to do and I have a science sheet thingy due soon as well… My Science Major Assignment mark was not that great either. Daniel kinda beat me by over 32% or something. I only did it pretty much the night before it was due so I guess I deserved it… Looks like I should be doing better in science if I actually tried doing stuff… Along with other work…

Hm, Tournaments of the Minds… Something that I’ve done twice in previous years, which means that this’ll be my 3rd Tournaments of the Minds thing… We got a fun 80 or something page instruction manual thing which I’m probably not going to read anytime soon but you never know. Should be fun huh? Well, it was fun the previous two times…
