Melbourne and Everything else.

It has been a hectic two weeks, and I sense this blog is going to be very long.

These few weeks have been pretty hectic.

Started with a nice win @ clube central @ Hurstivlle on roulette

This is the story

Went drinking about 2 days before uni started. After work, got a call from Nick.. to go out drinking and clubbing. I actually decided to go, not knowing anyone that actually went, except for Nick and Magrat. It was some girls birthday party. So yea, me/Nick and Marg went pre drinks. I started iwth 4 shots.. then after, at the club, had another 5.. and 2 more after. Man that was crazy.. got really tipsy, but it was awesome. The music and all that just sank in.. RIVERSIDE MOTHERF*CKER. Oh my god that song makes me go fking crazy. Haven’t done this for a while…, well actually, haven’t drunk that much since.. that Havana party a while ago, after chucking up.

So thats that. That night, I really don’t know why, but I wanted to gamble so bad, and I wanted to play number 25 on roulette. It got to a point where it was annoying, and yea. I was stopped from gambling that night :@. Probably because I was a little drunk. Anyway, that number 25, next morning, I went to Hurstville Clube Central with Nick. I put in 2 dollars, and put it straight on 25. It landed on 25. RIGHT on it, and on the first go. Out of 36 numbers, I walked in, sat down, and 2 dollars on 25. I won 72 dollars, in that instant. So I decided to put another 2 dollars on a corner of 25, and rofl, it landed on 25 again.., and instantly won 45 dollars. I cashed out after that, and a third fucking 25 came out. AAH, if I had 100 bux on 25, it would’ve been 3600 dollars. 36x the bet. Hectuc. Anyway, 3 25’s came out in a row. That is like 3/111 chance of happening, and it just happened on front of my face.

When I walked in the club, and entered the 2 dollars, and put it on 25, the old guy nxt to me was like, what the fuck is this guy doing. It looked stupid, but also looked like I rigged the system or some shit. He gave me the biggest dirty. It was like 3 minutes of luck.

So after doing that, we went pho, and played pool. The machine, miraclously fed out 4 solid balls, which were #5’s. It was probably because people kept on using balls on other tables nd shit, but watever.

Nick was like, ok, you gotta put 2 bux on #5.

And so I did, walked back to the roulette, and set 2 dollars straight on number 5.

The wheel span, and it landed on number 5.

I screamed so loud everyone turned around and looked. Nick was like holy shit.. o.o

It’s like everything just happened right.

Then I cashed out, and fuck oath, the number that came up after I cashed out was 25 again.

Man that was one crazy ‘luck’ day. Everything just happened right.

I spent the winnings on lottery tickets.. which only two games won..

of Division 7. Meh still good.

Oh the day after, I saw a shooting star too. That was something I’d never seen before either, but it’s interesting.

Melbourne… was an awesome trip. My parents did a conference there, and I went along. I did however, have a choice of staying home, or going. And I chose to go, because I didn’t want to stay home alone for a week (I know that sounds childish).

Alot of the times, I just explored Melbourne, while my parents were at the 6 day conference. It was basically me alone for 6 days. I did explore alot of things. The tram network was something that amazes me. It literally expands out of the city, in ratio to like Sydney to Wollongong distance. I chose a random tram to catch, which went to ‘Bundora’, and I had no idea where it was. Well it was 50 minutes away, and it was a farmland/dead place. It was about, a one and a half hour trip, to and from the city. That was pretty amazing. I wish a tram network would run like that in Sydney. It would make things so much easier.

So thats that. Other times, I just bummed at an internet cafe, and chat, and twitter and all that. I’d probably spent about 30-40 bux in total, for the 6 days, just on internet cafe. It is quite sad but yea. I however did use the excuse of ‘internet cafe’ to end up going to Crown casino. That place is just absolutely amazing.

Flame fountains, glowing and moving chandeliers, and the size of a football stadium. It’s like maybe 6 times the size of star city. It’s just amazing.

So I went there many times. I know my parents are against it, but I was just bored shitless, and I did feel like a little gamble. It is becoming a problem now, and I have realised. It started with $50.00, and yea, it was a quick fun gamble. I acutally got up to about 170 dollars, then lost it all. Cashed out again, and played again. Lost again. And, yea.. In total I lost about $240.00. It’s sad, but I am grateful, that I have the chance to quit early. I do not want to end up like one of those old Asian men, that end up fucking up their lives over gambling. I am going to make a vow to myself, that after this Friday, I will never gamble again. This Friday, is because, Frank won a room in Star City, and I’m going to probably overnight it, and maybe club a bit or wateva, but the main thing, gamble. It will be $500.00, blunt, and I hope I lose it. So it will be a lesson. This is the last time I am going to gamble.

Here, I collected the chip.

I’ve been collecting all casino chips haha, from StarCity and Canberra Casino.

This is a strange thing I’ve been thinking about. I am a penny pincher, a cheapass. Like, for example, I will find the cheapest food to eat, I will try look for bargains, use coupons, and like if I’m thirsty, I wouldn’t go and buy a drink, and probably wait till I get home. Like that sort of typical money saver. What makes gambling so important, that I would take out hundreds of dollars, to play. It’s strange. Maybe it’s because I get the sense of winning, and it’s “worth” playing. But in the end, it’s just loss. Gambling is another dimension for peoples worlds. It’s just so weird.

Anyway off this gambling thing.

APL was actually quite interesting (APL isn’t gambling thanks). I went to two games, one at St Kilda and one in Melbounre Bar. Both of the games consisted of 11 players. It’s so tiny compared to Sydney poker games. So basically, it’s just two tables, and we play till people get knocked out. I didn’t make it very far though. Once, I had three Aces, pockets on my hand, and one on the flop. Went all in, and got rivered with a straight, by some random rapist looking bogan guy. Damn that was sad for me. The second game, I got to about 4th last, and yea, fucked up I guess. It was pretty interesting playing there. And the weird thing was that, the 11 players, all 11 knew eachother. They have like their own little group. They probably play weekly. It was just so random of me to pop up, and join.

Talking about APL, I went for a haircut the day after the first comp. And I spent like 30 minutes looking for a place for haircuts under $10.00, and I ended up walking out of the CBD, and found one for 9 dollars. I walk in, and the guy that did my haircut, was the exact APL admin guy. What a coincidence. It was his ’second job’. What are the chances of randomly getting a haircut from that guy, in a city I have no idea about. A similar thing happened in Sydney not too long ago. I sat down on a train, and got bored, pulled off a sticker off my bottle, and stuck if on the window next to my seat. So thats that. 3 days later, I catch the train, to a totally different line, walk down the stairs, and sit down. To my right, there was that sticker. I just happen to get on that exact carriage, exact seat, and subcoinciously. It might not be amazing, but it ‘WTF’ed me pretty hard.

So going on about the Melbourne Trip,

I went shopping by myself. Went down the main shopping street .. Elizabeth Street, and many of the alleyway shops. It’s so interesting. Their alleyways aren’t alleyways. It’s just narrow streets with coffee bars, and fashion stores. It’s sort of like Newtown, or that place in the Rocks, where theres coffee’s nd shit. I ended up buying a woolen vest, black pants and black shoes. It was 295.00 in total. Loved it. Things are cheap, original, and good quality. Love it. I mainly bought black shoes, because I’ve been wearing black school shoes to work, and it’s just shit. It’s turning greenish, like theres mould growing on it or something. And the fact its not proper black shoes, and it’s childrens school shoes, just makes it douche. Funny.

My parents bought me a Zippo. How random, but they thoughtI might like it. Which I do. It’s fucking sexy. Has an Ace of Spades carved on it.

Thats about all I did in Melbourne. I really love it there.

It feels like we’ve left so much out when Frank / Seano went. It seemed we just followed mainstream stuff, and didn’t really explore much. I guess thats what happens on unplanned trips.

But now, I know Melbourne back to front (the CBD). I actually want to live there sometime. Meh.. thinking too far.

Anyway,

Lately I’ve been thinking. I want to live a life of experience. I’ve been thinking way too much, and wanting to do way too many things in life. It ranges from sitting on a train, thinking of being a train driver, to flying a plane, or even just retail. Theres just so many things out there, and it’s not worth staying in one thing for the rest of your life. I want to run a train, fly a plane, be a telemarketer, sell shoes at a shoe store, be a plumber and fix pipes, music, art and omg, I dunno, it just comes to my mind when I see different things happening. I know it’s not good, because I will have no career in life, and I could be the only retard thinking like this, but, it satisfies me.

Lastly..

Uni hasn’t been that great or much of a deal. I missed the first week of stuff, but I don’t mind. Textbooks bugged me alot. It was $550 something dollars. I mean.. fuck.. seriously. It costs so much. And the thing that annoys me is that, it’s per semester. FUCKS sake, is that the way of making money? Oh hey, lets charge 175 dollars for this book, and for this semester, and 130 dollars for this other book, and 150 for this, and etc. Maybe I’m over reacting, but it annoys me. If only we had that borrowing system, like in high school. I guess not. And second hand textbooks, I really can’t be fucked to sell or buy. Maybe at the end of uni. The prices just bug me.

Today was alright, I had a 1 hour tutorial, and finished. 2 hour travel for a 50 minute tutorial. How depressing. But thats just this week. Business law starts second week, so it will be worth going to then. I finished the day with pool with one of my uni friends.. then went Circular Quay to watch Sean/Jared/Matt in the bridge building competition. Funny. They didn’t even put on the first weight.. and lost the competition. Oh well. And.. sadly, we went star city again today, and I lost $70.00. So that’s about it.
