The Waiting Game

Nothing to do really as I await the return of the uni grind. Mainly reading and playing my DS. And restocking and reorganising my modest comic collection. Yeah, so I read comics. They aren't updated as often as I like plus one of them is like a year behind on the third issue. No idea what's happening there.

It's strange how some memories just pop out. You're doing something and all of a sudden, a nostalgic memory blossoms. You smile, then go "WTF? Where did that come from?" I was thinking back to the ye olde days of primary school. As I was wondering about my former classmates and what they were possibly up to, my mind brought up the time of the school fete. Basically, the year 6 students would set up stalls and the rest of the school would spend money. Was it for charity or the school? I don't remember. Anyway, my group set up this skill game stall. Arranged on a table was a variety of jars with an amount of money written on it. The aim was to throw a small ball so that it landed in the jar. If it did you won the amount of money inside (ranging from 5 cents to $5). It like $1 for three throws and $2 for eight throws or something. The kicker was that the ball was those very bouncy rubber balls and the place where you stood to throw was a ridiculous distance away. Naturally, more money was made then lost. One guy was lucky. He managed to win $5 eight times in a row, but it spent $10 or so to get it. There were a lot of 5 cent winners, so the profit we made was insane. I remember we managed to con this girl in our class, Jenny Jiang(?), into having multiple goes and she basically wasted 90% of her money.

That came out of the blue as I was doing housework. Random, but it was a good, fun memory. Yep, when I'm not reading or gaming, I do the housework. Vacuuming, washing the dishes, washing the clothes, hanging the aforementioned clothes and bringing them in. I wouldn't say it's boring or that I hate it. I've seem to have developed an immunity to it. I just do everything on automatic. Still, it can take a stupid amount of time before everything is done.

On the subject of primary schools, I've noticed that my old primary school even has a Facebook group. Pity that I don't anyone in the group. Must have been beyond my time or after it.

My power supply for my computer has been acting up. Makes horrible whirr-ing noises and sometimes the fan doesn't spin, causing the PSU to overheat and the machine to restart. Maybe I should buy a new PSU...

Doctor Who and House have finished. I need something to fill the void. Maybe a short anime series?

And Phuong...why has your blog gone private? Isn't supposed to be public?
