As some of you may know from Vincent’s previous post, John likes to some extra curricular activities in his spare time. After shooting for his new album, he has gone into the modelling industry. Most recently you may have noticed some things like these around town.
Haha, how awesome is this apple. Even thought I’m not a big fan of Apple, I’m a fan of this Apple apple pie.

So just about everyone knows about the spider drawing. Its a freaking amazing story, guy is a total dick but is funny as hell.
From his website, I’m going to post a small reply of his, quite the plan.
Richard
Rove fan
I wrote a stupid post about the television host ‘Rove’ and his dead girlfriend. Basically I asked why no-one mentions his dead girlfriend. I also stated that I thought she got off easy - “not tonight dear, I have cancer”.
Of all the messages I received proclaiming me to be a prick for making statements about his dead girlfriend, Dick’s were the most entertaining for me as he just kept going. Unfortunately I have not received any correspondance from Dick for a while, I will assume he has been arrested by the beard police. This is saddening as it seemed no matter what nonsense I sent him, he would reply in anger.

You’re correct Dick, my statements were uncalled for and unquantifiable in any manner. I apologise without reserve and ask for nothing but your understanding. I hope, in time, you can come to forgive me for such contemptible statements. If I could retract my statements I would but I do not have a time machine. I wish that I did have a time machine, I would take my Macbook Pro back to 1984 and visit Steve Jobs. After selling my laptop to him for millions I would return to the present. I could do this several times as each time the present technologies would have changed. It is a flawless plan, I am sure you will agree, lacking only the availability of time/dimension manipulation technologies.
So recently, us guys have released that our good mate Tony Troung had a remarkable resemblance to Adam Sandler’s good mate Rob Schneider. And when Rob was on Rove the other night, pretty much all of us thought of Tony straight away.
I <3 the reliability of wikipedia
All jokes aside, wikipedia has saved my life on many an occasion and I think Hamish and Andy are awesome.
So even though the Rye vids are AWESOME, the only thing to make them more awesome would be including music and sound effects, its totally lame and literally took me hours, but I think it adds a nice touch.
Thanks to John for cutting it up and uploading it in the first place.
10 points to who can guess where the music came from 
**Also, just a side note, but I’ve never used windows movie maker before, but I’m so proud of this video. I guess John and I didn’t get A+’s in Media for nothing!
Well, Dom has been bothering me about this post so here it finally is. The next continuation of our Rye Diaries webisodes. More experimenting with windows movie maker so things may look abit sketchy. Anywho, another creation out of severe boredom brings you yet another classic. enjoi.
P.S. You’re gonna have to turn up the volume for this. Don’t worry no music added, and not that much screaming either. lol.
Day Nine – Friday, Hitting the Clubs, Kangaroo Island
Waking up to Andy and Bo returning from work at around 12pm I find Dom getting ready for the trip to Kanga. It’s also hard trying to sleep when you have little kids punching you in the face telling you to play with them. After a while the whole family is here ready to go off on there “wild” adventure.
They soon leave and now its just me, Bo and Sam (Bo’s little sister). What else is there to do but to hit the clubs. So we call out Ora (the chick) and we are off to the clubs. We go to miami night at the HYATT (Latino and RNB). You guys probably think I get lucky or some shit yeah? Well guess what? I wasn’t allowed in. That freakin bouncer refused entry on me because I was not classy enough for him. I had to wear a collar shirt and no laced shoes, so pretty much what Jaso wears.
I had to be rushed back home and get changed just so I can get in. And so I am finally allowed in and I find out the clubs over here in Adelaide ain’t nothing like what I am used to in Melbourne. I see people salsa’ing, and I see others trying to dance, it was like “Am I in the right place?” It was a mixed club so there were different types of people but what really sucked was that I was the only Asian guy and also the youngest looking guy there. There were so many times when I fought I was gonna get my ass whooped. After the whole night spent dancing and shit all we leave the clubs. I soon find out the one of Bo’s ex’s did want to whoop my ass. WTH…
While somewhere over in Kanga the boys were having there fun I guess. Especially trying to spy on that one jap chick, HAHAHHHAHAH!!! It’s funny because she was taken and they couldn’t do jack all.
Day Ten – Saturday, Bike riding, Sea Lions, Girls night in
It’s Saturday and I woke up kinda bored so I went into the back and grabbed one of the bikes that were lying around and decided to go for a ride around the neighborhood. I found a “small” park somewhere behind Bo’s house and decided I’ll just do a lap of this park then go back home. I’m riding for like 10 mins and I haven’t even started going around yet, I’ve just been riding straight. I soon realize that this is not a small park at all but some huge land that’s been leading me nowhere. As soon as I knew that I turn straight back around and headed home.
Somewhere over on Kangaroo Island the boys are enjoying the rocky scenery and watching the seals and sea lions lying on the beach. They also enjoy there seafood BBQ and swimming pool at the resort they are staying in. I don’t really know much but that is the main gist of things over there.
Back here Ora (the chick) wants to come over because she’s bored at home and all, so when she comes over its just Bo, Sam and Me. We decide to watch a movie at home but first we needed go out and get us some munchies. We end up getting KFC and watching Tristan + Isolde, which I must say is a pretty good movie.
It’s that exams time of the year again and for me that means I do all sorts of other things as an excuse to avoid study. This time, I will be presenting (for all of you who haven’t found it on Facebook already) a few shots I took from a makeshift studio that I set up by covering my desk with white paper.
Sadly, I wasn’t willing to walk more than 2 metres to find more interesting subjects, so you’re stuck with looking a pictures of my camera. And that’s a professional studio camera right there… I just don’t have any film to use in it at the moment.
I actually need to practice my skills a bit, so I’m willing to take photos for anyone for free. So let me know if you have something worth taking pictures of (or if you just want to help me kill time). 
Might be handy if anyone’s selling anything on ebay.
Day Seven – Wednesday, Working on The Farm, going to The Bay
It is my first farm job ever and I am working with Bo. Only one of the trio can work at a time and since I don’t get centrelink, I am forced to do it. Let me tell you people who are virgins to farm work, do not do it. My back is crooked and my fingers feel like it will split open and scream. Working on the grape farms sucks big balls. A couple of hours into the day and I get called up by the boys to ask me if I wanted to go to Kangaroo Island. WTF? Are you serious? Why would I wanna waste my money going to a shitter version of Adelaide? I come home after the grueling 10 hours of farm work to find out that those bastards are actually going to go Kanga Island without me.
We find out that they are hanging out at the bay with Ora’s family and the Sydney visitors who somehow convinced Andy and Dom to go to Kanga Island with them. So Bo and I decide to hit the beach after a long days work. We call up one of Bo’s friends to come along and she also happens to have exactly the same name as Ora.
The Bay is a pretty nice beach compared to Melbourne’s shit whole beaches. The Bay can be compared to St Kilda beach if you want to know what its like but apparently The Bay is the worst beach in Adelaide so yeah.
After taking a quick dip in the water we head home.
Day Eight – Thursday, The Hollywood Sign, Black Cat *DRAG*
I am sorry but I seriously can not remember what happened during this day. The only thing I remember was that Andy and Bo had work the next day and that Dom and I couldn’t stay up because we were too loud so we decided to go out night exploring. The first thing on our minds as we were outside was to climb that Hollywood sign in front of Bo’s house. We found a hole on one of the side of the fences and we started climbing the sign. It wasn’t so bad until like halfway up there was a problem with getting to the first platform. We found away around that shortly after though and we were up on the Hollywood sign. We had our manly conversation up there for like 3-4 hours until we decided to go home.
Getting down was pretty poofy and all but we managed to make it down safe. When we got back home we found that we have been locked out. During our time up in the Hollywood sign someone had come home and locked us out. We couldn’t wake Andy and Bo up because they had work and they would get angry at us, so we decided to wait until they woke up for work which was like at 4.30 and we had to wait another hour and a half.
After 5 mins of waiting we just left back for the plaza just to fuck around in the car park. While exploring the perimeter of the plaza we were confronted by a mysterious black cat, which soon became our temporary friend. We sat around patting the cat and playing around and decided to go find some food for the cat. So we scavenged some food out of bins and all to feed this cat that wouldn’t even eat the food we found it so we just decided that was it then. We soon grew tired of Blacky and decided to return home. When we arrived back home they were finally awake and we could now have our rest.
