Well it looks to me like I finally decided to show my ass back here, haha no such thing, I didnt mean to run away so far, but what can I say I had a lot on my plate. Pretty tired today, so it will just be a round up off all the things that have been happening in my life.
Yes, its true, Knaves finally decided to join the work force, and am currently working at subway. I'd been pretty busy with trying to locate a job for myself, and what do you know, somehow I got the job that I thought of getting on the way back here. I had a job offer from KFC, and then later got one from subway. I decided that subway was the better choice, coz whats better than to eat fresh eh?? Haha not only that, but its close, and the pay is better...
Work is really piling up, and it looks to me like this semester is going to be one ball of a sememster, what do you know, I've already started making my way through the text books, because I figure, my careless attitude wont get me far as it usually does, so its time to put in the hard hours, maybe in the end it will pay off, lets see how it goes...
And to my already packed schedule, I have added a workout plan which i follow religiously to keep in shape, and I feel a lot healthier at least. Now all I have to do is reduce the smoking, and I will be in good shape...
Thats the update for now, I have 2 classes and a shift tommo, so I better haul my ass back to the bed, and count the stars or something, and fall right off to sleep. I will be back tommo, and have a bunch of crap that needs to be written about, so keep posted...

Chink's takin over the world!!!!
Arrite..here's the deal, the minute i walked into to my macro tute, i just knew something was wrong. all i could smell in the room was bad breath. Without giving further notice to the stench, i took a seat since i was already half n hour late. After hearing the teacher ramble on about something, i looked around the class. DUDE, i wouldn't believe this, but i was the only guy in class with normal eyes. Every single person in that room was a chink, except for me. With 70 percent population of UTS being local students, what r the chances that i enrolled into class where every single one got their name from dropping a spoon. i don't mean to be reacist or anything, but cmon....u can't tell whether they'r sleeping or wide awake or the fact that u can't distinguish between them since all of them look alike. Anyways, manage to go through the class without throwin up cause of the smell.
What else? Went to the Dark Tranquility concert the other day. It was awesome. The magic of mixing, melodic tunes with extreme guitar rythms, fast drums with ear pumping double base, guitar solos and the growling just takes to another level of adranelin and head banging. The last song they played was "WONDERS AT YOUR FEET". It gave me goosebumps just standing there and swayin to the rythm. One song everybody must here whether ur a metal fan or not. HATE BREED opened up. They were pretty arrite, but not much of a fan of american, kowtow thrash metal where there's no variation and forget about those guitar solos. Think out of the box man. Stop goin for the chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - chorus - END. and those rythms with no variation, just heavy strumming. Very few american bands have actually gone out of the way to be unconventional, and not adhere to the amercian conformist way of playing metal...namely Still Remains..awesome band...
Knaves. i'm puting up the song here so that u would actually have a look at it..
PEACE
UNTITLED
(VERSE)
The black hole forever mine.
I need the fear.
Push me out
Ohh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have with you?
If you could be
The things I need.
(I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.)
These knees, they bleed for you.
(Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.)
Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation
(CHORUS)
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.
(VERSE)
Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Though(?) the new
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
(CHORUS)
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.

It's in my hands.

Postscript
One more day, and it will be the culmination of my first week back, well I've been back a week already, but I mean the end of the first school week. Its been good so far, had an assignment due already, and it went quite well I must say, a 10 on 10 is quite good if I can say so myself. Its been a crazy day today, had a lot going on. Had a major drama with my printer this morning, and now I am left with really painful cuts on my hands. One of my printers had a screw stuck in it (that i realized afterwards) so couldn't use that, and then the other one ran out of ink, and while refilling it, I managed to cut my hands in over 6 places, I was in a real rush, and needed it done soon. But the good thing is, regardless of what the cost, I got my work done, and thats all that matters. And when I went into class, the tutor is like do you want more time to do todays assignment?? I was about to slap him, I spent so much time getting it done the last few days!!!
There was a band comp on today at the bar. And I must say that the music was quite ordinary. The one band I liked, was a band that played last year, and they played the same set, so I was a little disappointed, same venue and the same set, quite unimpressive!! Other than that, it was good fun, lots of friends there, and we had a good chat. After that it was KJ's birthday, and so we had a drink there, and an overkill on the chocolate fudge cake!! Finally the night ended with a Shisha or should I say two, and we all sat around talking about crap.
I realized that I am a dumb ass, everyone else knows that, but i didnt!! I was always smart in my head. The heater was working all this time, but I just read the directions wrong, and turned it off instead of on!! But to my defense, its not an on off button, its queer!! My room is finally clean, and there is walking space, actually there is enough space in this room to to jam in here, should get a drum kit in here, hehehe.
Anyways, thats all for now, its getting late, and I am quite tired, have to get up at 10 in the morning, so I am off. Take care all!!

I thought i stopped smokin!!!!!!
Apolagies for my absense. Went away for a couple of days over the weekend...Where u ask? Well, went back to blacktown. Back to my former abode, back to old times. I'm sure knaves knows what i'm talking about. For reasons of anonymity, we'll call him Mr. HO. Anyways, went back to his place after a while.The minute u walk in to his house, the first thing that pops into ur mind - "BROTHEL"...Even tho the place is pretty plush laid and everything, every single light bulb in that house is RED. Its got that red furry carpet and a huge ass couche which makes u reminisce about the tera patrick porns. He's even got one of the neon lights......."WHERE THE BITCHES DAWG"????
Another thing that house had always been famous for, intoxicants. i mean, there's a limit to everything, but this guy just fuckin goes overboard every single time. We started with 4 or 5 shots of OZO(wrong spelling prolly). I hate that shit, but hey i get knocked the fuck out after 6 or 7. He then insisted on sipping on vodka sunrise as he prepared the HUKKHA. right about that time i knew it wasn't stopping there. After suckin on the smoke machine for a while, unfortunatly the light bulb turned on in his head and BANG!!!!!! I mean BONG!!!!!yup, it just had to come out. Can't ever say no to a good smoke...Punching cones after cones, couldn't even utter a single word properly. and trying to keep on the tradition, we turned on the ps2 after a few cones. FIGHT NIGHT 3 was the game. Decent. After all that much alchohol and chronic, what other better way to take out some rage. Throwing pucnhes left and right, blood spilling everywhere, Fraziers stamina and left hooks keep him in the match, and Ali, well his song says it all "float like butterfly, sting like a bee). Fraziers goes for Ali's gut, where he's most vulnerable, and completly debilitates him with his left hooks. First a left hook to the gut followed by a haymaker to the face and Ali goes down in the forth round. FRAZIER WINS!!!!!! It was fun.
After playing a few rounds, kept on with the cones...and the rest seemed very blurry. Did turn on a movie tho...UNDER SIEGE 2....good movie back in the days....steven siegal still can't act for shit....
Next moring comes. The feeling is horrible. and again i curse myself for doing all that...i try to ignite hopes of redeeming my self by thinking about studies(like that ever works), but it was all shattered when Mr.HO mentions.."WAKE AND BAKE"...
School!!!what about it...same shit different day..got monday off this time around...long weekends!!!!!Right about now, thats the only positive thing i could think about school!!!
PEACE

A little rant, before I sleep...
Alright, firstly, let me go have a smoke, when I get back I will continue this...
Back, and what a few days its been already. Got picked up by the cops last night, and now that I look back at it, its funny as hell. I was too drunk and passed out infront of a club, so they picked me up and put me in a drunk shelter. HAHAA they said they had to, so that I wouldnt get mugged, so I must thank them. If this were in Bangladesh, they would have mugged me instead. Had a few cups of coffee and a nice political discussion with the bloke there, guess being drunk has its advantages. My friends came and got me after a while, so thanks to them. It was a good night none the less.
Work has piled up as I was away for two weeks, but the good news is that I am working my way through it, and its not that bad at all. I did more than I thought I would, and I guess I have to hand it to the jetlag, I dont feel like sleeping till 3am, and I plan on keeping it that way!!! Live on Bangladeshi schedule and my long distance will be a lot easier. First day of classes for me tommo, and its good to know that a few of my friends are in my tutes, so its going to be a fun semester I guess, though I plan on living like a hermit...
Moved back on campus now, it has it ups and its downs. Firstly the net sucks, and there are too many restrictions, no bloody webcam, how am I gonna see that pretty face whenever I feel like it?? I guess pictures and words will have to do. Not like I dont know what that face looks like anyways!!! And what pisses me off the most is that the new version of yahoo messenger doesnt work on campus, not that it really makes a difference, but I like to be picky, because I can!!! My computer is a little fucked, and I will have to format it tommo, but thats nothing out of the ordinary. Old rez where i live is great, quiet as hell, just how I want it. Now I can really live like a hermit, it doesnt only have to be in my head. The other good thing is that I will be online a lot more, so you can expect a lot more post like this more often...
Canberra is cold, and it doesnt help that I shaved my head, now does it?? And my heater isnt working and I have no blankets. But oh well, one more day, then subhan will be back, and then I will have my crap back. Tommo will also be my last day back at my old house as I have to pick up the rest of my stuff. So its looking good right now. Oh and I have to find a job, and thats going to be a pain in the ass, I am hoping that the other is going to give me a hand with that (hint, hint). Alright, its getting late, and I should sleep if I am to wake up for a 9:30 class tommo, but guess what?? I dont have to wake up at 7 to get here, as I am already here!!! Lovin it.... Stay classy people, catch you soon...

The Beggar Must Pay For Mercy, But What If Juliet Lives Behind Me?
I apologise profusely (that seems to be all I do in my entries) for the lack of updates from me lately. As you were informed in my last post, I returned from Melbourne after that legal competition and it was just bloody insane. It was a 6 day straight party and after I got home I had to detox for a few days before I could actually function and then school came and then guess what? I got sick! The other will remember how deathly ill I was last year at this time when he was staying here. I actually had the same thing and I am on the same medication but I'm feeling much better now.
I was going to write an entry about the "Sexual Assault" in Big Brother but the whole thing has blown over now and it would just be a waste of my awesome talent. I welcome Golfer Shib aka Jester to this wonderful blog.
Melbourne is nuts, I hate big cities. They're the best/worst places for feeling isolation head on. The city has no curves! It's all done in perfect squares and rectangles, every edge of the city looks the same no matter where you are! I had to take a grand tour at 2am one morning when we got lost on the wrong side of the river...The competition went well and although we didn't win (we lost to the eventual winners) we did do the best that our university has ever done so I'm happy with that. I'm just glad to be home, it was a long 6 days and I don't remember much of it.
My timetable this semester is a tad whacky, and I'm going to see if I can change some stuff around so I can get more sleep ins and spend less time at uni. Oh where are my manners?! I also welcome the other back to the country after his Magical Mystery Tour (haha I couldn't think of anything else to call it).
Will my love for you still be strong after the boys of summer have gone? Well I don't know, since that doesn't make any sense. Guitar wise I have been wising up to Eric Johnson's Desert Rose (learning the flowing bit in the first solo when he's spewing 16th notes at will) and I'm getting much better with co-ordination as in changing patterns with irregular time signatures and sight reading now. Also experimenting with Flamenco with some of Rodrigo y Gabriela's Tamacun, it's a very fun track to play but I need an acoustic to play the outro properly. I also need one so I can stop hurting myself myself doing triplet strums from the wrist (electric guitars aren't forgiving on contact with soft skin and bone).
It's an old song but I only just heard it for the first time the other day, but I really love Lisa Loeb's Stay. I even wasted 10 minutes in learning the song on guitar (which is sad I know considering I like to learn and play hard stuff just to show off) but there's just something addictive about that riff and the 3 chords that flow through that song. I also enjoy The Strokes new song "You Only Live Once". Addictive rhythm (the uglier guitarist plays a palm muted E5 throughout). On that note, Death Cab For Cutie have to be THE ugliest band ever. No wonder they're emo, they can't get any action with faces like THOSE.
That's it for now, I have some work to do throughout the weekend. But as the other is back on campus and I should be seeing him more you can look forward to more updates (yes the Joaquin rate list has an update due some time soon). Have a nice day folks!
