BEN DEE GO

haha bendeego

asfdasdf DUE TO JOEY'S RELENTLESS PERSISTENT NAGGING

I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE MOTIVATION

TO BLOG ABOUT BENDiGOOO =D

Not that we did anything much

apart from casting shame upon the school for getting like totally thrashed =O

OKAY SO WE WOKE UP at an ungodly time of day, to get to school by 7AM . . . I think I woke up at like 6:40 and rushed to school =)

Armed for the 12 hour bus trip with my SDD Excel and Heinemann textbooks, notes and newly acquired $2 MP3!!!, I ended up sitting in the 2nd last row because all the other friggen seats were taken. Bad idea - the further back you sit the more crap curdles in your stomach and the more likely you are to dispense your morning breakfast upon the head of the in front of you (Peggy) =O But the bus ride was actually surprisingly smooth and I didn't even feel sick while reading.

My mum had advised me on sitting in the middle on the side of the driver, as all typical asian mothers do. And there is infallible logic behind this. You see, if a crash occurs from the rear, you are safe, unlike me (or the person who happens to be in the bus toilet discharging bodily fluids or solids at that time). You are also safe from the blue effluent and crap that will eject/project itself from the toilet.

If you sit in the front however, you will get crushed by a semi-trailer or a full trailer or double trailer whose driver is taking microsleeps after driving for 21 hours from Brisbane to Melbourne or something. This is not good =O Head on collisions will cause a great change of momentum on the bus as the time of impact will be very short and hence the force which will act upon you will be greatly increased, as delta P = Ft

Who doesn't love physics :) Well we love it right now cause we have Khoury for science. Next yr when we get Ballantyne . . .

And of course you sit on the driver's side because he will OBVIOUSLY save himself first if he's about to crash into the Great Banana or Great Pineapple or Great Circular Saw, and will swerve so that he will not get hit but the other side of the bus will get cut right through.

Wow lol I've totally forgotten everything about Bendigo after my mind's been filled with so much SDD and stuff o__O Maybe I shuda blogged this before cramming my mind with so much other stuff.

But I think we just all slept for like 3 hours before waking up to like fat squishy cows mooing in the countryside with full swishing udders swinging and methane rocket boosters munching on grass =) With the ever ugly Silawraps dotting the background of the picture =____= Look like freaking midget Port-A-Loos from afar.

Turned on my MP3 and found I couldn't receive 2DayFM anymore >sob<>

Despite this the reception on my MP3 was so crappy I heard like just static and the occasional wail of some screeching singer. So I changed to SD card mode and realised the songs inside the folders didn't show up =____= I'm like ARGH THIS IS SO RETARDED KILL ME

IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD LIKE A LAPTOP AND AN SD CARD READER TO COPY THE FILES OUT.

There was.

xDD It was Evgeny lmao

So I went over and was like YAYY except looked at his laptop and I'm like "but there's no SD card slot in it" =O

Then he takes out another laptop from under his seat!

Anyway ended up going to the middle of the bus afterwards where everyone was playing Mafia =) Awesome game (Y)(Y)

I was doctor for one game and saved 3 people 3 times in a row xDD And there were like 10 ppl playing at that time. That's how pro I am at reading minds =P

The probability of my choosing the correct person 3 times would be like (1/9)^3 =OOO

I dunno what that is

cos SOME NOOB STOLE MY CALCULATOR IN MATHS AGAIN <--EDIT: it was alvin apparently i left it lol

this is why you never take your calculator out when they're giving back maths papers cos everyone grabs it to add up their marks :(

and its school cert next week . . .

Anyway stopped over at a place (i.e. hole), called Gundagai.

GUN THE GUY

Here's a map of it . . . it's in the middle of nowhere lmao

except its next to another country town called Jackalass (Y)(Y)

Their busy train station (we didn't actually get to see any of this =[ just got it off Wikipedia)

Their hectic bustling highway

It's actually pretty pretty =) Found this pictures of it off Google Maps

ANYWAY BACK TO THE THINGY

Got off the bus armed with the pages of free Cayan Grill with any purchase vouchers which I had printed the day earlier and gave them out to people. Turns out half the ppl already had one lmao xDD

And so the Army of Asians, the YELLOW PERIL (the locals had probably never seen that many asians in their life lmao) marched into the KFC proudly brandishing their vouchers, whilst the onlookers stared on in fear at the RED MENACE about to engulf the little country town. Well not really - only the KFC people stared because we were all waving our vouchers for the Free Cayan Grill and they were like despairing that they were gonna like totally lose profit. Which I think they did.

So after everyone gets their meal, Andrew Li goes back over to the counter to get a straw or something, and overhears this guy who actually wants to buy a Cayan Grill burger, and the KFC guy's like "Sorry, we're all out." lmao poor dude xD

and poor KFC

Urm nooo I think it means fudge-packin' good

So then I went to the toilet, came back, and everyone and gone back onto the bus already -.-" So eager for another 8 hours of delightful driving!

Spent the next 4 hours playing Mafia, listening to music with Peggy (who hates ALL my songs >=[) <--no that is not a smiley face lol, reading SDD and surprisingly didn't feel bus-sick at all even though I was sitting at the back, and stoning and staring out the window at more passing silawrap bundles and Angus, Brangus, Mangus, Pangus and whatever cattle there were =O

Though while we were playing Mafia Ballantyne's like "LOOK KIDS!" and everyone stares out the window in awe at the wind farm on our right, which being busy city kids we had never seen before =P

And then we drove past all these weeds that actually looked pretty =) Like these purple ones which grew everywhereeee:

And here too. Hehe there's a train track there too

SO after another 4 hours, at like 3 or 4, we end up going to a MacDonalds, where no one even orders anything cause we're not hungry. So all the girls sit down and talk and all the guys just sat down on a bench playing cards and staring enthralled at Huey's Cooking Adventures or something playing on the widescreen TV there =O

Meanwhile Fang shows me that straw trick where you get the straw then like roll it up from both ends until there's like a tiny bit in between. Which you then flick and it goes POP! xD Then everyone saw and all the guys ended up like grabbing a gazillion straws

____________________________________________________________________

Okay i typed that all like 2 months ago =___= now to continue my eternally long post (21/12/09)

THEN we finally got to benigo lol
and u know how uve all heard of bendigo bank and think its like all crappy and tiny
its not.........

its FREAKING HUGE O_O

anyway so along came dinner timeeeee :) where everyone hunted for the cheapest food
first we walked like to the town centre as a blob. then me and jinghang and abs and stuff decide to hunt for the cheapest place to eat so we walk like 300m up the road to another chinese restaurant, then like another 200 up the road to some other chinese restaurant that kowaslki recommended, decided the first chinese restaurant was cheaper (still like $10 for a box of rice though =.=) and so walked waaay back down. then decided against it and walked back to the tandoori place. then ms treskin tells us theres a maccas down the road a few hundred metres so we decided to find it...after 500m theres still no sight of it so we decide to go into this posh chinese restaurant which is just across the road...after running across like a 4 lane road we finally make it there...then turns out everythings like $30+ and its all posh with freaking candles and stuff ==;
so we go back and try cross the road, and Abs just runs across and trips over one of those annoying road roundabout things they put to make u slow down....then at the exact same moment all 4 lanes (or more i htink) of traffic get the greeen light and start moving -________- then me and jinghang after gonig back to the tandoori place decide to keep hunting for macdonadls......
we finally found it loooool =O

and heres the town hall or soemthing:


then ppl just walked back to the motelll once they finished their dinner and started playing xbox (yes we brougt one lmao)

alvin, being one of the SELECT INTELLECTUALLY GIFTED FEW chosen to partake in this prestigious science and engineering competition, forgets that boiling water is hot
