Studying for exams with friends in uni common room.
Guy walks past the room.
Me: Guys, guys, check out that guy walking past!
Them: Uh huh?
Me: Do you know who he looks like?!?!
Them: No.
Me: Yeah, neither do I.

Glen Innes International Carnival
Glen Innes is a town here, let's call it GI for short.
There was an International Carnival type thing over there on Oct 15th. I joined the Cosplay Club there. The cosplayers were part of the parade. The carnival wasn't all too interesting but hanging out with the club members is always fun.
After the parade, we went for lunch at McD's and pretty much waited there till 2pm. Then we went outside and just sat around till 3pm because some members were gonna do a performance for the carnival. I fell asleep for a wee bit while sitting on the grass. whaaat?
Anyway, after the performance, we hopped on the train back to Auckland and went into a mall.
Here's the thing - our president had two model swords for fun (one is Lightning's sword from FF13 and another is just some chinese sword). Another guy (Dante from DMC) had a sword as well for his cosplay (Rebellion).
So we sat at the mall for a bit and the security guard came up and started talking to us about how we're not supposed to bring weapons in the building.
I thought he was being a dick lol. (they're technically not weapons!)
But turns out, if you think about it, if you're a drunk guy, anything is a weapon. And guess what? It was the night for Wales vs France in the Rugby World Cup. People are probably in the progress of being drunk!
So the president, Dante and I went out to wait for the rest to finish relaxing.
Then the police came...
Possibly to be continued. So much laziness in me I'm only doing this to avoid studying for exams lol.

International Suit Up Day
I went to the Glen Innes International Carnival yesterday. But that's not what I'm gonna talk about in this blog post. This paragraph is just to remind myself that I should post about the carnival next. If you want, I'm tagged on some photos on FB so you can go find it from my profile.
Anyway, I hope some of you know about Oct 13 being International Suit Up day. Basically, it's a day where you wear suits. http://internationalsuitupday.com/
My friends and I talked about it a week beforehand. So that would be at least three of us suited up that day.
I reminded one of them to wear something formal the night before, and he said okay.
I ended up being the only guy wearing a suit. Until second friend came with a suit! YES!!
And it seems we're not the only people who wore suits. A bunch of others wore em too and it felt great to not be the only guy doing it. I'M NOT AWKWARD ANYMORE GUYS! (not really)
But yeah, suit up day. The friend who didn't wear a suit over wants to wear a suit next year now. I hope this event will grow bigger next year!
I had sushi for lunch that day. But yeah, this post is a reminder for me to do another post.

Cosplay clubbbb!!!
There was a Uni Course and Careers day a couple of days ago. (I guess it's more commonly identified as an Open Day to everywhere else)
The Cosplay Club was gonna be there to do a few performances so I thought I'd go check it out.
Turns out, they had a stall there to promote the club too! So I stood there looking awkward.
Note : I had no costumes.
A bunch of people came and left and some people looked interested but COSPLAYERS, WHY U NO TALK TO THEM?!
Club leader was best at promoting the club. He's pretty darn social and outgoing! But he's busy promoting the club elsewhere in the uni.
So even though I didn't have a costume on, I told them about the club and stuff.
Eventually, I was the guy who stood behind the counter telling everyone who is curious about the club.
And then I had to look after the stall during the performances. =(((((((
So yeah I didn't get to do what I wanted to do but it was still fun that day! Thankfully the videos were uploaded to youtube and facebook!

Cheesecake
You should all know full well that I used to sleep a lot in class back in CHMS.
That habit carried over to PTEM.
But didn't carry over to uni... until now.
Should I blame 8am classes? Probably. But I take naps during breaks between classes and still end up dozing off. This is bad because it's hard to catch up to uni stuff!
And it's getting worse.
I slept in a Math class yesterday. Who knows how long, maybe 15-20 minutes? While I was sleeping, I had the urge to wake up and shout CHEESECAKE.
Why?
I wasn't craving for cheesecake. I just wanted to yell it out...
because it made sense.
Cheesecake.
It just did.
During that one moment, cheesecake was the answer to everything.
It all made sense.
But I didn't yell it out. It felt like the universe was disappointed at me. It felt like I could have advanced humanity a step further just by yelling it. But I didn't. I'm disappointed at myself.

Overload 2011
Ahhh!! I haven't been to an anime convention in a while!
So I went to one last week. i.e. First weekend of Semester 2. Poor timing? Perhaps.
What's worse? Armageddon, another anime (and comics) convention is around exam time ~end of Oct. =(
Anyway, I had great fun, kind of. I was being pretty anti social though, which made it hard for me to ask for photos of people. Bought a bunch of posters and buttons. Also, there were about 2 yaoi booths. Aasfasfh;awue but I guess that's a thing here. Cosplays yay cosplays! This post isn't very well structured but oh man anime conventions I miss those.

Burglary
Came home today around 4:40 and saw a car in front of the garage. It was running and the doors were open. Thought someone came visit brother in law or something so didn't really panic.
Two guys saw me, ran in the car and high tailed out of there. Realised it was a robbery so, thankfully, I remembered to look at the license plate.
First thing I did was check brother in law's room - his was separate from us and turned out to be the one they accessed. Door was wide open. So was car door. Closed both and went back up to make calls.
Brother in law wasn't answering; sent a text instead. Called sister, she's at work, told me to call police and file a report. So I did that.
After explaining the details to them, I made some toast. Brother in law got back and went to check his room etcetc.
All in all, I guess things were settled - they had insurance which they plan to claim, the police has details on the robbery (and license plates), and they didn't access our main building unit so my laptop's safe. (just installed an antitheft program for added measure lol)
Then my sister came home...
Did I mention she was the reason I didn't want to come to NZ? She is bipolar and gets really nasty when she's stressed - the way she copes with it is just unhealthy.
After a while of looking around, talking to her husband, stuff people do when their shit's been stolen, she brought a DIY kit and told me to make a bookshelf. At 6:30pm. A fucking bookshelf at 6:30pm. I did it in my room and it was small and hard to maneuver. The rest of the house wasn't exactly ideal for DIY work either. If possible, I'd prefer to do this in the daytime outside so I get more space. So I went out to ask her "Why am I doing this?". I didn't phrase it out all too nicely due to discomfort at the situation. Again, let me remind you that she was stressed so she lashed out at me. "Why do you always have to ask things when I tell you to do something?!" (Firstly, I only asked twice. Secondly, I need to know the goal so I can place a priority to it. I should tell her this one day but not today.)
Anyway, finished up the bookshelf and went to play some Team Fortress 2. Bipolar sister called Doting sister on the phone and after some talking, Bipolar sister handed the phone to me and Doting sister started interrogating me on what I remember. Gave me a reality check - I wasn't all too phased from what happened but she fixed that a bit. Reminded me to be more alert as this wasn't Brunei anymore.
I guess that's about pretty much what happened.
In retrospect, thank goodness the robbers decided to run instead of rape me or something. I don't wanna get raped. Damn. Rape's not good, guys. Or attack me. Yeah, that's bad too.
