Things I've learnt during my time as a minor

So yeah, only a few hours until I'm technically an adult. As such, I will soon be able to do cool shit like go to clubs/bars/liquor stores ^^ So let's recap what I've learnt during my years as a minor:

-The education system is flawed as fuck. Just be reasonably intelligent, attend lots tutoring and pick the high scaling subjects and you'll do pretty well even if you're really lazy (ie. me). Does not reward actual intelligence at all as much as it rewards rote-learning and attendance at tutoring colleges.

-Talent/"giftedness" does not mean much if there is no motivation driving it to a worthy cause. Motivation/determination (something that I probably lack) is a greater gift than raw intelligence.

-Don't bother/think about religion too much. You have your views, they have theirs, no one is going to budge so why bother? I'm glad to be from a non religious family which only goes to the temple like a few times a year, more as a cultural tradition than an actual religious practice.. so I guess my view is biased but whatever. Nothing changes, move on to better things.

-(applies to nearly all asians): Your parents may love you and want you to do well in life, but they are overprotective and you should not follow some of their advice. It's okay to skip school in your early years, drink (not too early), and go out with friends once, twice or thrice in a while.

-People can be stupid as fuck. Think about the level of intelligence that an average person has. Half the population is even dumber. Everyone is a hypocrite.

-Crying actually makes you feel better (most of the time).

-If there's a chance you'll see them again, try to not piss them off. On a similar note, try to be nice to everyone (or atleast not a dickhead to them).

-You are incredibly lucky to be living in such a good country. To have clean, hot water easily available and to live in a society which is reasonably peaceful and harmonious.

-Get braces as early as you can. I kept putting it off until year 11 and yeah :(

-Racist jokes are funny. Racism is not.

-You should do more squats.

Randomly browsing YouTube at 3am *edited*

So yeah, randomly browsing YouTube, one thing led to another and I arrived here at Liam Payne's audition. Seriously, best voice out of all of them by a long long long way, so much like Michael Bublé's. Respect.

(starts at around 1:45)

Now I shall go downstairs and cook 5 eggs.

*edit*

Basically, 

children aren't special, 

parents who put too much pressure on their children to perform are practicing a very sophisticated form of child abuse,

if everyone is special then the term becomes meaningless

etc. etc.

watch it.

"If you're defending, you're not attacking. If you're not attacking, you're not winning."- on LoL/Starcraft gameplay

"if you want to get me drunk, it's going to cost atleast $50."
"don't worry, I'm not going to get wasted, I'm too broke." -on .... quantum physics. obviously.

Well... I'd just like to say that it's been a truly wonderful 6 years of my life. I could have easily been a Hurlstone kid if it wasn't for a last minute offer to this school. I only accepted the offer because Fort street was like 5 ranks higher.


But if it wasn't for that naivety, I wouldn't be who I am today, with all the great experiences I've had. My only regret is not getting to know more of you awesome people. Love you all very much, will miss you dearly. Thanks so much for everything, even if it doesn't seem like much. :')

An interesting business idea

While procrastinating for the 4 assessments I have due in the next 2 weeks, my mind wandered off and latched onto an idea. Basically, it's what you would get if you combined a bar with 24 hour CityHunter and CityHeroes, with starcraft/LoL/Dota/sports matches being broadcast on large TVs.

So in this place that I shall call.. GG (Good Games) Inn or GG Bar, there's two sections- the licensed (18+) area (which serves alcohol) with gaming computers (and chairs with cup-holders for your drink) and large TVs and couches/tables... and the general area for with more gaming computers and pool tables.

The cost per hour of the computers in the licensed area would be more than the general area but it would be semi private sections (10 people each) with better hardware/chairs and a button in each room where you can order drinks/snacks so you don't need to be afk for too long.

It wouldn't even take that many staff to run... 2 people at reception, 2 bar tenders/waiters, 1 security guard and 1 waiter/cleaner/support person.

What I would consider "good" prices in such a place:
1 hour (General) - $3
1 hour (Licensed) - $4
1 hour (Pool) - $15

10pm to 8am 1 hour Pool - $12
10pm to 8am "All Nighter" 10 hour deal- $25 Licensed
10pm to 8am "All Nighter" 10 hour deal- $20 General

Drinks (stops serving after 1am):
Beer/cider- $5, Jug (1.136 L) for $12
Premium beer/cider/Smirnoff- $6.50

Currently drawing a sketch of the interior design :), might post if I feel like ..
