Oh my. My good friend Daniel invited me to the Sydney Cricket Ground to watch a game of cricket. My first initial thoughts weren't all too good. I loved cricket as a kid, but as I grew older, I begun disliking it due to it's slow pace, and "dagginess". Cricket is kinda like "watching the grass grow" slow.
So I was looking forward to this cricket game. It was Australia vs New Zealand. Hopefully this cricket game would rekindle my young love of Cricket. I wanted to give Cricket a chance.
NOT a chance. Today, it rained like shiba. I spent a while sitting there, may I add, IN THE RAIN. The teams played up to 6 overs, then it started to rain to a substantial level. They brought the players in. All the fans, including myself, are left there waiting for more instructions. We are told nothing.
Not happy at the weather, and the attitude to the fans, I went to do some research. It turns out if the game is canceled before 10 overs, a full refund is issued. If 10-25 overs are played, a half refund is made. When over 25 overs, they won't issue a refund.
That's like........ like................... paying full price for a bag of biscuits, being guaranteed 1/4, and the other 3/4 is not guaranteed ~_~
Anyways, enough of this slander.
I went on to ask a security guard when they would announce when the game would be officially canceled. He said 7:30. The time was 5:30. I had been there since 4:00. Forget about it.
I left.
Did I get a full refund. I don't know. I'll have to see.
Thanks so much for inviting me to the Sydney Cricket Ground. I really wanted to watch my first ever official cricket game live. But for next time, thanks, but no thanks. I don't think I would like to gamble my time like that again. All the best for us though, my attitude might change in a few weeks, but right now, no suredy bob.
P.S: I'll be posting up some pics up soon.
I watched my first episode of Death Note ever. It was quite interesting, yet very morbid at the same time, which made it sad watching it at the time.
I viewed it on youtube, and coincidently it was the english dub. I know i know........ english dubs are bad. And I couldn't agree more for this episode, but I couldn't be bothered to change.
My reactions of the story were generally like this:

I can see why people like it. It has great animation. Some parts were animated amazingly, other parts you could see they got lazy and used static shots.
Static.....................................
Oh...look! The exams Answers book. No wonder he always comes top of the class.If I had a deathnote book, I would have misused it today. Gosh.... why?
Well, let me tell you why.
Heading out to work on my usual walk to the station, I begun to talking over the phone doing producer stuff. I had the feeling that if I got too relaxed talking to others, I would miss the train. It eventually skipped my mind. When I arrived at the park (next to the station), to my dismay, the train had already arrived on the platform. I was shocked. I hung up on my friend, and checked my phone time. 1:55 it read.
...... oh yes. IT was early by 2 MINUTES. I watched the train leave over the distance.
I almost cried. I hated myself so badly. I now was going to be late for work ~_~
Erratically, my first thought was, okay... don't panic. I'll just catch a Taxi to the next station and catch the upcoming express train. The taxi came, I popped in.
The taxi brought me over the bridge, only to show me a train that I COULD of caught instead. I, Raymond, did not check to see if there was a train.
Moral of the story: Don't act on impulse. DONT EVER. ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU DO
oh........
and one more thing
Apples are good for your teeth.See.....
Well. Since I haven't watched anime for months, I'm now finding it a bit boring. I used to be occupied by work, but now that's subsided a bit, I need to find something to entertain myself.
I now watch Heroes once a week, which is good.
Naruto comes out once a week, but I've stopped watching that. Reason? If Star Wars could be recapped in 30 seconds, Naruto eps could be recapped in 2.
And I'm deciding to watch Smallville again. The story line isn't all to interesting, but the lighting and special effects is what keeps me interested.
Any more suggestions?

What's the prize? My big fat shiny metal ass. That's one bun each. Thanks for playing =)
Thanks for coming to my place today! I hope you all had a wonderful time. I don't usually have alot of people come over to my place, so I'm a bit embarressed, and as a result, I'm not very good with this hospitality thing. I would imagine it's a bit shocking, and it's really what I've grown in too. You guys were too awesome and polite. Come by anytime in future. I feel much more comfortable after today.
Now that there's 2 weeks until the execution. It's going to be very very hardwork, so please please, let's open our wings, and get ready to fly!!!!!!!! I'm producing for the next couple of weeks, so I'm going to be really hard on producer mode. So please don't be freaked out if I'm not myself (which I'm usually not anyways ~_~) And also I may have to apologise in advance to those who send me messages as I will be only replying to those that hold top priority. Thank you!!!
And here's my desktop after M12 arranged it by name. Usually I take the time to rearrange it back to the format I usually have it as, but because M12 did this, I'm going to stick to this for the timebeing. It's good, because it will keep reminding me off today, and what I need to get done QUICK!!!!!!!!!!
LETS ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wa..~~! I just woke up from a pretty strange dream.
A few things happened before, but this is the point where I start remembering as I'm typing:
As we were battling, I could not help wonder why there was it was there.
Eric and I are equally matched, so I end the deadlock by threatening to burn one of the books with my lightsaber, and hence catching fire and burning down the whole collection. He thinks I' m bluffing, but I show him I'm serious. I turn on my beam, and draw the lightsaber close to the books. Eric retreats.
When he backed to a feasible distance, I turned off my lightsaber, dropped it on the books, and jedi jumped away. Still under the impression the books are burning, Eric tries to recover the from a fake arson attack.
Out of no where, Michael Peters appears, and he begins to try convince me to go on the boat cruise. He has a devious smile on his face. Another partner accompanies him. I hide my bank statement. I come up with an excuse saying "But I can't go. I have to stay in Sydney. I need to buy this really expensive gift for a friend". It was a straight lie, but I didn't really want to go on the cruise. Michael Peters flashes out a Westpac Visa card, and replies "Don't worry, whatever you need to buy, I'll buy it for you. Here.Use my card". I was caught in my own lie, and next thing I know, I leave my bag on the parkbench, and head towards the boat.
Heading down the ramp towards the lower level of the two decker boat, Chibi stays on the mid level between the two. Everyone heads down to the bottom. Shanks and Burpy run straight down and start mingling around with the exotic dancers. For some reason, I couldn't take it, so I ran out of the boat.
As I returned back to the park bench, my bag was gone. I panicked. I automatically assumed Peters, but couldn't be sure. I ran towards the entrance of the platform, with an eye out for my bag. Eventually I spot it, as it's a small bright orange and black bag. The stranger unhooks it from their bag, and latches it on the back of someone else. All I did was grab the bag back, and head back to the boat.
Contemplating if I should head back on the boat, I realised I didn't have a wrist band to prove I payed for entry. I decided to just stay outside.
Out of the blue, Somps comes running out of the boat and starts yelling. As I start calming her down, everyone comes out to see what's wrong. Somps decides to tell us she feels really sick. She runs off!! My first instinct was to follow her, and see what was wrong. As she's running, I'm right behind her tail, observing where she's going. A sudden stop, and Somps turns right into a old fashion looking but modernized toilet (on the platform @_@). I halt, and wonder what she's up to. I have my thoughts. Marcus just arrives right behind me, and wonders what the h**l's going on. We look blankly, as we have no real idea.
After a while, Somps comes out and I ask her:
"Are you pregnant?"
"No, yes, I don't know"
"You better not be, you have a career to fulfill"
Suddenly, we know that we've saved what we were meant to save, and anticipate to head back to Domestic.
Ray: "Terrific, so what's the next major station? Or should we catch an all stops train back?"
Lawrence: "Looks like we'll have to catch an all stops back. It's some strange station ahead."
We all looked at the map, and it spelt Birdaragoo.
Joyce shouts out: "Look, we're reaching the end of the tunnel"
To our amazement, there's a whole line of Formula One Rally Cars all line up along the grass. One speeds past, and the crowd goes wild. We think we're Bathurst, but really, it wasn't. Another friend also named Eric suddenly pops up from behind me. He's a really huge fan of Forumla 1 Rally Cars. Catching on his excitement, I get myself hyped up too.
As the train becomes closer to the station, the irony of this world reveals that it was really a Formula One Rally Car repair station.
