Rollercoasters are fun.  All of them.  I love them.  Me and rollercoasters are tight.

The Bush Beast aka “Big Beastie”

I remember when I was like 10 years old, a tiny chap, and i REALLY wanted to go on this rollercoaster at “Wonderland – Sydney”, which is now closed :’( – this roller coaster was aptly named “The big beastie” by a 10 year old Jace… lol but yeah, i wasn’t tall enough coz i’m totally short as.  It sucked pretty badcore.  But, like humans do, i grew up and i went on it and it was by far the coolest thing ever.  I went on it in the rain with my cousin, and we were so shocked we didn’t move when it stopped.  Then the rollercoaster started up again – before we could get off.  Round 2! lol The 2nd time around was great, i knew what to expect and could really appreciate what was happeninig. It was pretty cool, a memory burned into me.

got owned…

Long story, get comfy

I had a show on Friday night (gay show too), and so after the show the drummer, Brent, and I went to McDonald’s at a suburb called “Springwood” (at 1am) on the way home.  Brent generally is my transport to and from shows because of my Sleep Apnea.  I have a tendancy to uh… fall asleep whilst driving.  So yeah, stopped at McDonald’s (gross)

I ordered my food (gross) and was waiting for them to bring it to me.  In the mean time there were two kids, mid to late teens, one with a black hoody the other with a white hat, next to me sticking their train cards (“Go Cards”) into the EFTPOS machine (I hope EFTPOS is an international name for the card payment thingy-majiggy).  So I kinda looked at em and was like meh.  So i grabbed my food and sat down.  Brent and I had chat and finished our food in about 15 minutes and were gonna walk to the car.  Hmm.. something wasn’t right.  Oh I know…

I DIDN’T HAVE MY WALLET!

Ok so today I had my first Japanese listening test, and to be honest – I was freaking out.

Mentioned a million times before: I test well.  I’m good at exams, comfortable, never nervous, and it’s what I do best at.  However this was different.  I was freaking out!!! I felt severely underprepared.  The thing that was letting me down was definitely my vocab – which is terrible! I have SOOO much trouble remembering/recalling different vocab.  Obviously this would be a problem. Even if i know what they said – i wouldn’t know what they meant.  It’s the thing i have the most trouble with!

WOOOO!!!!! Pretty cool.. Pretty cool… So yeah, was just chilling when I got a text from Mitch that he received his acceptance!! I was soooo stoked! So i quickly loaded up my email and BAM! It was there! YAY! So I jumped onto my little kansai gaidai blog before i could even take a breath to vent some excitement before i exploded!

As the title/quote above suggests, this post will be about Scarface

So today I had the pre-departure information session.  Things were looking good until something was discretely brought to my attention.  I, Jace, master of this here blog you read this very moment am NOT going to Kansai Gaidai!

Howdy!

First of all, Kanji test! I did heaps good! There’s a really good chance I aced it, so… fingers crossed.  I did a serious cram session trying to remember all the combinations I needed to – but i think I did it! Yay!

Now onto the real highlight of the day: Dinner with JB.
