Realisations: Bung Eye and Other Things

Alright, no mucking around – I’ve come to realise a few things recently. Realisation: I have a bung eye.
Yep, it’s true, and i just realised this. Here’s a snapshot:
Exhibit A
HAHA OMG! So proud of that photo, epic-awesomeness! Yeah ok it’s not THAT bad, but it’s there! I swear!
Now onto “Other things”.
Visa retrieved, compliments of Mr. Pearson (thank you sir), and looking at my passport photo, Certificate of Eligibility photo, and visa photo, i must say I’ve come to another realisation: I’m not really great in photo-situations.
So i could’ve said “I’m not photogenic” – and yes, that’s true, BUT WAIT – There’s more!
I manage to pull of many different looks! In my Visa photo i look like an asian/drowned rat, In my CoE photo i look like a greasy drug-lord, and in my Passport photo i look a criminal (but not a greasy drug-lord), in Exhibit A i just look like a douchebag.
Another realisation! I’m unemployed again, having some chillax time… but a small hurdle… i dont quite have as much money as i thought i would have. so that’s not cool. I’m gonna be doing some hardcore saving and possible part time work at my old fish and chip shop (which has now been rebuilt after being burnt down). So we’ll see how we go!
I’m really gonna take this opportunity of part-time employment (or unemployment should i not get work at my old job). Gonna try get myself fit again, save, and really relax and get my mind in the right state for Japan. I really wanna make the most out of Japan, and it’s sad to say that for a couple of days now i’ve been regretting my exchange. And it sucks! Because i know I want to go! I know I do! I’ve worked fuckin hard to get through the last semester and Japan was one of the things that got me through.
Realisation: to go to Japan means to change before i go.
For the past few days i’ve been extremely sick. Dunno what it was, just a pretty bad cold i think (not swine flu haha…i think), but i feel a lot better today. Should be better in time for this weekend… what’s this weekend? PARTAY! Just me and a few mates are hitting up a Japanese Restaraunt (only mates who have the balls to eat sashimi haha!), then we’re gonna knick off to the Chalk Hotel and get extremely shitfaced, then i’m gonna go crash in a hotel around the corner. Gonna be great!
Attempted to sign up for the speaking partner program like 5 minutes ago… but gave up when i wasn’t able to fill in my Admission number because it wouldn’t let me lol Couldn’t be arsed trying to find out what was wrong either. Meh, i got time, and i won’t be incredibly fussed if i *accidentally* forget to sign up too. PS. Figured it out and applied.
Anywayz, that’s what’s crappening in my camp these days.
Ciao for Now!






Argh, why are official photos always SO terrible? I look a hot mess in my photo and it’s the same photo I used for *everything*. It’s on my passport, my CoE, and all my KG stuff (which means it’ll be on my ID and the okkasan’s will have it). Argh. I’m never gonna be able to escape it.
Ha agreed! i think that’s just how they roll! With careful planning i probably could’ve ended up with my criminal photo on everything, but i ended up taking 3 sets of passport photo’s :\
Least you don’t look like a “fucking pipsqueak”! xD
AHHH and you forgot about Tim’s two day party! even Anthony is making it down for Friday.
nooo dont regret it! once you’re in japan and get used to being there i know you won’t as many regrets. in the future u’ll look back and be like “i was brave and had a great time! im proud!”
i need my scotch buddy and i need a mauritian friend!
and you need japanese people staring at you and a japanese teacher beating you down until you get down the strokes of a kanji down pack
