good news all :
i've finally uploaded the pictures from our s'pore/jkt trip . so feel free to go have a look - the link is pretty self-explanatory . i apologise if the pictures are all mixed up , stupid shutterfly tends to do that (and i can't be bothered putting them in order) . i'm kind of sleepy now , so night all . and enjoy the visuals !

no sad entry today because ...
safin won !!
yayyyy !!! i'm soo happy !!! i'll take anyone over hewitt , any day . haha . yes i realise it's very un-australian of me , but hewitt's just so ugly and obnoxious . the only reason he can get away with the whole "c'mon !!!" is cos he's the only aussie male in the top 10 and philippousis is completely useless . so naturally , we must all cheer for him (yeah , whatever) .
safin deserves to win anyway . awww , we (mum , lynne , nette and i) just love him .

anyway . feel much better about everything , and yes teefeenee dear , everything will be fine :) hmm . i just realised that one of my pet peeves , is people who use mushy song lyrics as their msn nicknames . why oh why ?! can't they think of more original things to use , or maybe they're just big saps (sapps?) .

as you all know , i'm not a sap . okae so sometimes movies/tv shows make me cry , but hey , it's totally normal . i just don't go for the overly-romantic-oh-so-mushy crap . and please if anyone were to date me , don't give me flowers . i'm not really a flower person , but if you gave me some really nice pansies then sure . i do however , welcome any other sort of gifts - chocolate , clothes , bags , clothes , jewellery ... you get the idea .

lynne's starting school tmr . ahh , high school kids . hahahah . i just love saying that . quite exciting though , she's starting year 8 (sec 1 equivalent) and she's just growing up so fast . for some odd reason , i'll always imagine her to be small and cute and very young . it's just a tad difficult to think that she's already hit puberty and will soon have bfs .

hmm anyhoo . nothing much else to say . and see , no sad entries !

damn . i think i need to expand my social circle . i'm just having one of those moments where i wish i was still in s'pore , cos then at least i have lots of people to call when i feel like going out . there's usually at least one person free anyway .

no offence to my friends here in perth , but everything seems boring to me now . i crave for something more exciting , something fun - which is part of the reason why i can't wait tilll uni starts . at least then there'll be new people to meet and a completely new environment . ok , so i'm feeling just a little nervous . but i'm sure i'll be fine .

i just wonder what happened to : hey , i'm bored so let's go out right now . and then we'd just go out (where are you jo when i need you ?!) . maybe it's just the really long holiday that's starting to take its toll . maybe we've run out of things to do , or maybe we're just tired of being on holiday . hmm . now there's a thought .

ahhhh . i also don't know how long more i can keep the whole 24G thing to myself ... i feel like i might be a blabbermouth and then he'll find out . oh wouldn't that be lovely . actually , not really . the only thing that's stopping me from doing that is the fact that it might wreck our friendship and things will be weird if the so-called feelings aren't reciprocated .

i say so-called because come to think of it , do i really like him ? or am i just saying that i do cos he excels in the 4 criteria . hmm . wouldn't have thought about it until tina mentioned it . maybe it's just that i'm starting to feel a little lonely and would like some intimate company , perhaps that's it . at least then, i'lll be guaranteed of always having someone to talk to about everything ; someone to go out with me when i feel like it . just having someone there for me in general . if only mr nun weren't so unattainable ...

and is it just me , or is everyone around me getting hitched ?! i mean , okae , people have been breaking up too ... but then shortly after , they find someone else . aaargh . it's starting to irritate me . but don't get me wrong , i'm happy for those of you who've found happiness with someone new . i'm just wondering why it's not happening to me . that's all .

feeling rather irritable now , so i think i might go sleep soon or something . i just want to go out dammit ! or just do something other than staying home and bumming around . i think being coooped up at home is starting to get to me . and i haven't had a deep and meaningful conversation with anyone in a really long time ! one of those argh-my-life-feels-like-shit-at-the-moment-so-let's-talk-about-why conversations .

i miss you guys in s'pore !! you guys being : crystal , dyan , denise , teefeenee , jx , si yi , leang , leonard , shann and gillian . if i forgot any names , i'm sorry . but i do still love you :) thanks for being great friends , you guys . i think it's great how no matter how long i've been away , things seem to be really good every time i return for the holidays .

friends like that are hard to come by .

first of all , omg !!! they just showed the season finale of nip/tuck . it was so exciting and completely unexpected . for those of you who have yet to finish watching season 2 , don't worry , i won't wreck it for you . all i have to say is this : you'll never expect it and it's brilliant , of course . wow . the best tv show ever .

before i go on about today , i'd just to say that i dropped my phone just now and now there's 2 lines appearing across the screen . turned it off and on again , but they're still there . hmm . hope i haven't spoilt it and that it's repairable (i think i made that word up) , cos there's no way that mum or dad will get me a new phone .

hmm anyhoo .
grace , tina and i did go to carousel today and the journey there took us about an hr or so . long and winding bus ride ... finally got there and walked around . had crepes for lunch - mmm . but i'm quite i didn't manage to get any cheap tops , ended up buying s.c.i.e.n.c.e (that's an incubus cd, btw) . but i did try on this really nice skirt at villains , and guess how much it costs ?? ok let me help you here , $70 !!! i'm so sad . the skirt's so nice ... it's brown and very bohemian . which means if i do get it eventually , then i'll have to get a bag that matches it .

today's topic of conversation (during lunch) : chickens . it all started with grace saying , "did you know that that are more chickens than humans on earth?" . will not type out the full details of the conversation , but it involved chickens . the whole 20 mins of it . so now i can't help but think about them ! many questions going on in my head , so let's hope they send us a farmer or two yeah ? (private joke there!)

well that was my day .
am so happy ! it so happens that 24G shares my current phase of clothing colours - which are green , pink and yellow (for the lesser informed) . wow . lol .
okae , going to finish watching the federer vs. safin match ... very exciting .

hahah .
small drama in the loo household just now , and it was all because there was a baby cockroach outside lynne's room door . she put a tissue over it and then both us ditzes were standing there squealing , as we were smacking it with a bedroom slipper .
i'm happy to report that the cockroach is now flattened and very dead . i hope so anyway . cockroaches are very resilient creatures , no matter how old .

oh and this is christine on msn :
chissa - the dumber u make urself look the more surprised people will be when u kill them says:
omg cockroaches can fly??
lol . enough said . she's such a funny girl .

speaking of funny ...
grace came over and brought the 'american history x' dvd she'd bought from indo . took the disc out of the wrapping and it turned out to be made of PLASTIC . the bastards . i guess it only cost her 60 cents , but still ! why the the movie i've been waiting to watch for so long ?!! why ??!! the other ones she bought from that same place were OK . bahhhh . still , the whole thing amused us and so we're keeping the plastic dvd to remember the incident .

ended up watching old episodes of gilmore girls . why you ask ? well stupid question ! for the simple reason that Jess AND Dave (adam brody) made appearances in some of them .

met grace for coffee at dome today :) haven't done that in a while so it was nice . well actually , it was coffee and tea . you see after sitting there for more than an hr , i felt like having another drink . so i got myself a pot of tea - a very cute looking pot too .

oh yes and ended up going to see the aussie day fireworks with adit . spectacular display , as usual . hmm . lots of drunk people around today . yes , that is how aussies celebrate australia day (i still don't know why it's on the 26th though) . got beeped at walking along canning hwy and along jackson ave walking home .

there were also drunken teens (who were obviously underaged) on the bus . making a complete fool of themselves and being pain in the asses in general . drunk girls in public - a very unpleasant sight .

yay , carouself tmr :) hope i find some nice and cheap tops . apparently there are tops going for as low as $4 ! so that's always good . wish i had money to buy a dress though . i still want a summer dress . of course , by the time i actually find one ... summer might be over . ah well .

alritey then . shall go read transcripts or something . hahaha . i blame YOU , grace .
*p.s. if you're reading this tina , good luck with the enrolling !! i hope those curtin bastards let u enrol .

|

happy australia day everyone !
now use this as an excuse to get piss drunk , eat lots and be silly .

anyhoo .
rather happy and excited at the moment . hahaha . it's mostly due to the time (it's 2.08am) , and early mornings usually make me a little high - say it with me , 7.30am insanity . also very happy cos 24G is finally back in perth and we had a nice conversation on msn just now :)

enrolment for uni went very smoothly this morning and my uni card picture is not too bad . it's just that the picture makes it seem as though i have LOTS of hair . lol . oh and guess what ! tina's back !! yay !! finally . going to call her the moment she gets back from the airport .

currently reading gilmore girls transcripts . why ? cos grace found a really good website for them and gave the url to me . sooo ended up reading up on the episodes that channel 9 didn't show the other time (but mostly also cos Jess has many lines!) . yes , we do lead sad lives . but hey , it's really quite amusing .

another thing that keeps me occupied online : launch.com
one of my new favourite websites . managed to find some incubus and strokes videos :) lots of shirtless singing from brandon . woohoo !

okae . gonna go now . i think the hyperness is starting to die down . and HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY once again !! (even if you don't live in australia , have a beer anyway!)

feeling rather angsty at the moment , and i don't really know the reason for it .
hmm .

maybe it's the triple episode dose of nip/tuck just now that's gotten me in this mood . the relationships between the characters are getting extremely weird and controversial . don't get me wrong , i really enjoy watching the show cos it's so interesting and you never know what to expect .
i.e. :
1) Ava's having sex with her son who really isnt her son who's got mental problems who tells her bf's mum, then bf breaks up with her only to get back together
2) there's a blind girl who christian goes out with and then breaks up with cos she's too good for him .

i guess i'm just angry because today's episodes have made me realise how stupid some people can be . okae , maybe not stupid . just weak and not to mention , insecure . women going for plastic surgery because they want to look like j lo ; a victim of domestic violence not wanting to leave her husband (i don't blame her , i just feel so sorry for her and wish she'd just leave him cos he's such a fucker) ; matt giving into ava once again . speaking of which , oh god , that woman is such a bitch and a liar . i hope i never meet a person like her - she's just awful .

and if you've just read all of the above , i do realise that i'm ranting about a tv show . but i tell you , the bloody show's got me hoooked . haha . and besides , julian mcmahon is just the tastiest piece of eye-candy .

i guess it just shows the imperfections of this world . -sigh- makes me sad and upset . but hey , life goes on . so NOW i'm going to talk about more frivolous matters cos all this deep and meaningful crap is too much for me .

went for a talk at uni just now about the different arts and social scince units and what to expect about uni life and enrolment and stuff . the dean is quite a boring lady (poor her) , but the arts union president is cute (in a geeky-seth-cowen kind of way) . so yes . i'm quite excited about starting uni and all , hopefully enrolment goes smoothly tmr ... i hope i don't have to change any of my units cos i like what i've chosen - linguistics , european studies , french and chinese .

so i think that's about it for tonight . going to go comfort myself by visiting the incubus website :)

lyndii apparently lives on a potato farm says:
i'M ShO sAd

i learnt something new today . haha . and how kind it was of leang as well .
wanted to upload pictures from my phone to the computer but i have no cable . so i asked leang how much a cable was and then he said , "why don't you just send the photo to your email ?" there was a period of silence and then i tried it . yes i realise i'm rather slow as i have only discovered this today ... but it amazed me to know it actually works ! haha . hmm yes . so i uploaded photos !




(that was the self-centred bit btw)
but of course , nothing comes free nowadays . although i'm not sure how much i have to pay . well , i won't be doing that very often . it's just a handy thing to know ! a bit like having useless information , no ? except maybe this isn't that useless .

oh and here's some pretty exciting news ! - for me that is
i got my first angpao today . my maternal grandfather asked mum to give us angpaos on his behalf . yay , going to change half of it into aussie dollars so i can save up to have some spending money . so if you're reading this nette : remember to collect some angpaos for your wyrd systers ok .

everyone except nette is back at home , so the house is crowded and noisy once more . it's mostly cos we have lynne , but it's taking me a while to get used to having more than 2 people in the house again . lol .

oh ohh . and i have my green shoes !! at long last . my pretty green shoes with cows on them .
-grin- i will take a picture and then post it up soon .
ok that's it .
i think i'll just stop typing before i bore you all to tears .
*enjoy the blur photos though !

wached 'alfie' today !
hello jude , who was oh-so-hot in it .
but the movie was quite sad .... i won't ruin it for those of you who haven't seen it yet though .

the mother and younger sister are returning from s'pore tmr - on seperate flights . mum's is in the morning . reeeeal early too , so it's going to be an early start . huzzah ? not really . but at least i'll be getting my GREEN shoes ! yay ! i'm so excited . and i shall show them off to the rest of the world soon .

anyway, that's all i've got to say today .
pfft , i'm running out of things to type .
how can that be ?!

Thursday, January 20, 2005

so today turned out to be not so bad , afterall .
finally got the enrolment package for uni and it was delivered personally . hahah . i found that particularly exciting (even though everyone else got theirs delivered that way too) and so i just had to call grace .

enrolment's on tuesday for me and there's some talk about the individual units on monday . everything's happening quite quickly and soon , i'll officially be a student at uwa :) was kind of anxious about not knowing anybody else doing arts but turns out tammy (dad's friend's daughter) got into arts too . well that's what dad tells me anyway . so yay , i now know someone else in the course .

oh and i'm peeeeeeling . damn that stupid sunburn . although it's quite fun sitting on the couch rolling the bits of skin of my shoulder and back (as gross as that sounds ...) .

apart from that , i have nothing much else to say . for once .
so i'm just going to stop here . hmm .

*p.s. i apologise for the boring entry today . i promise the next one/s will be more interesting or something .

|

Wednesday, January 19, 2005

i cannot begin to explain how bored i'm getting .
-sigh- why can't you people just come back from your holidays soon or something ?! dammit . should have come back from s'pore later .

me thinks i need a job . yes , i certainly do . well i applied for colesmyer already so i hope they call me back soon . maybe lots of their staff will quit ! yeap , that would be just awesome :)
hmm . awesome is such a christian praise-and-worship word ("the Lord is awesome ! yeah !") . i mean yes He is awesome , but there is no need to be so over the top all the time .

but i also want a job cos gillian is selling her samsung e700 and i want it !! i want it badly . it's such a nice phone and it's relatively new too (it's relatively new right ?) . job job job job ... i need money .

ooh ooh , i know i've mentioned this before , but brandon boyd is just too hot . can't get over it . hahah . watching the dvd just makes me like him even more ! jose the drummer's not bad either . am quite excited cos tom has this other incubus dvd and has agreed to burn it for me , if i lend him the morning view sessions . so of course i readily agreed :)
*apparently that other dvd has lots of brandon walking around shirtless . mmm . and it's one of those on-tour dvds . yay !

and before i go , samson scared the hell outta me just now by barking at the coat rack . he just kept staring at it (or the air around it?) , barking and growling . hmm . he even ignored me when i called him cos he was concentrating so hard . was hoping that whatever it was wasn't bad and would just go away .
i'm guessing it was probably nothing though .

okk . bed time soon , as there is nothing much for me to do .
*p.s. went for body combat today and i feel nice and exercised and the instructor , tristan , seemed a tad minty .

Tuesday, January 18, 2005

AHHHHHH !!!
I GOT INTO ARTS AT UWA !!!
SOOO DAMN HAPPY !! (and also very relieved)
dad is also very happy , so happy that he can't fall asleep right now . haha .

ah . i apologise for the caps , i'm just really really really happy at the moment . *big grin*
today has been a wonderful day !
went to the city with grace and it wasn't supposed to be a shopping day but i bought something ! not something to wear (yes yes , i do buy other things besides clothes) . walked past jb hi-fi and saw that they were having a sale , and who doesn't love a good sale eh ? (the answer would be : only very stupid people) . anyhooo , managed to get myself incubus - the morning view sessions for only $13 !! the original price was $26 , so go me !

incubus are very hot and funny collectively (as a band , i mean) . wow . especially brandon boyd - whom i want to marry . as of now , i would like to marry brandon boyd , milo ventimiglia and fabrizio moretti . mmm ... (let's not forget mr nun !!)

however this is not possible (*gasp* it isn't ?!) because grace says it's illegal . ha . i believe the word for it is 'bigamy' . pfft , who ever cared about the law anyway ... as long as i'm alive , i shall marry any guy(s) i want .
*just a side note : please don't be stupid enough to believe me . unles you already have , then hmm . i'm sorry , but you're very stupid .

ooh yes . watched the spongebob movie today too . wanted to watch lemony snickett but as fate would have it , it's no longer showing at garden city . why oh why ?!! i'm deeply upset . oh well , guess we'll just have to watch it at picadilly or something . spongebob was silly and rather entertaining - david hasslehoff is such a dork . a hairy one at that . ewww .

currently talking to grace on msn and she has cleverly pointed out that i'm getting ahead of myself here . all because i was just saying how good all of them would look in suits , especially milo and mr nun . wow , the girl (grace) amazes me with her high level of intelligence . as she says , she does have a gift at observing such things !

today has been such a nice day . everything seemed to be great - even the weather ! wasn't too hot or cold . ooh and we got stopped by some guy who was probably a hippy , asking us whether we wanted to help save the environment . his name was david and was actually not too bad looking . we would have said to him , "no sorry , not today . i'm not wearing the right undies" but i was too busy laughing at grace who was being silly and so we just said no thanks .

oh and one more thing .
78 Records has this ice cream vending machine for streets (which is Walls in s'pore) , and it's the most amusing thing i've ever seen . ahhaha . my my , will the wonders of technology ever cease ? ( i guess not!) .

ok . enough of my incessant rambling . shall stop here .

yay !
new template .
you like ?? you like ??
well poo to you if you don't , cos i do :)

i'm so happy that there's good afternoon teevee now . yes i'm that sad , the teevee is my only friend right now (besides grace that is) . okae well , i have other friends . but most of them are still overseas holidaying ... so until they return , i have no other friends .

anyway , back to the tv .
the aussie open has just started ! yay . shut up all you non-tennis fans cos i happen to enjoy watching tennis (among other things) . really good matches so far , and it's only the beginning too ! but i shall not bore you guys with tennis-talk .

feeling surprisingly awake at the moment and i have no idea why . it's strange though , usually feel very sleepy around this time of day . plus , it's sooo freakin hot at the moment -38 degrees . am very thankful that i'm not outside in the heat . besides , i have terrible tan lines ! i even got a stupid bag strap tan line from walking in the sun the other day . pffffft .

ooh and yesterday , 6 bushfires were lit up in the hills . can't remember the names of the places that were set on fire , but the smoke was terrible . ash flying everywhere and half the sky was brown , making it look as though it was going to rain . stupid arsonists , go set fire to something else would you ?

well gotta try and fix the other column .
it's too small and the tagboard cannot be seen properly . so since i'm so horrible at this , it's going to be all trial and error .

grace stayed over and we had yet another one of those movie marathons . we only slept at 6.40am and so the most sensible thing to do would be to wake up at 2 in the afternoon ! wanted to go for body combat but i have since abandoned the thought cos my butt is now glued to this seat .

anyhooo .
the movies we watched were pretty good - all except 'the wisdom of crocodiles' . now before you all say , "now why the hell did you guys watch a movie with that title in the first place ?!" . well , we were tempted by jude law's pretty face on the dvd cover . plus , one of the review quotes said something about it being 'erotic and thrilling' . so we thought it couldn't be that bad , even if we'd NEVER heard of the movie before . haha well we thought wrong . very wrong (98 mins of crap!!) . i think it's by far the worst movie we've ever watched and not even jude's beautiful face could save the movie ! it was full of inane conversation and irrelevant flashbacks .
*the dvd cover tricked us !! can't believe it . the still shots on the cover made it look action-packed .

nonetheless , we have some quotes to remember :
"i'll never forget that wonderful ... *sigh* wonderful ... feeling of letting go ." (then he dies)
"all i need is the love that in your blood ..." (jude to co-star)

hahaha . great movie eh .
but we did watch good movies : i.e. dogma (really quite amusing . ben affleck's best movie , not that he's noted for doing good movies ...) , frida (very sad , but twas a good movie ! plus , edward norton was in it for a while .. mm) , sense and sensibility (something going on with young women going for older men. ewww) , quills (sexy movie!) , queen of the damned (ahhh . we are fans of stuart townsend !! well i am anyway.) and swordfish (oooh damn , hugh was hot) .

as you can see , lots of kate winslet , salma hayek , geoffrey rush and alan rickman ... haha . hmm yes , we have discovered stuart townsend's lovely face . at least i have anyway !
okk , gonna go shower and collect the laundry .

morning ? what's so good about it

it's 9.18 in the morning and i'm up . okk , it's not that early by normal standards , but by holiday standards - it's preeetty damn early in the morning (i'm usually only up at 12 or 1pm) . the only person i know who wakes up at dawn during the holidays is tom . enough said .

anyway , i'm only up so early because i had to walk samson down to the groomer aka mimi the psycho dog groomer .
took us a while to get there cos samson was trying to buy time by sniffing at every single thing and marking his territory at practically every tree , shrub and lamp post . there were many people going for their morning walks or driving off to work and all of them seemed to be laughing at me having to drag samson away from his pee-ing and sniffing (but it was one of those "oh you" laughs . you know? ok you don't . hmm nvm.) .
so finally got to mimi's and i think samson realised where we were and started trying to back away from the door with his tail between his legs . poor doggie , such torture he must go through because none of us enjoy fighting with him to get the knots out and/or trim his fur.
oh but wait , that's not all . the first thing mimi says to me is ,
"my , you've put on some weight eh." i then have to explian to her that she has never met me before and that i'm Lynda - the middle one . this information takes some time to process and while it does , she continues asking me how my other 3 sisters are .
"erm no , mimi . there are only 3 daughters and i'm the second one ."
"ohhhh , so when's lynette and lynne getting back ?"
"lynne's coming back on the 22nd . she's the youngest ."
"ohhh , she's the youngest ! *insert strange laughter here*"
then suddenly it all clicks in that strange head of hers .

next she waves and closes the garage door smiling , while samson looks very scared . -sigh- sorryyyy samson ! you know you have to be groomed . don't worry , your fur will grow back again and you will look like you once more .

the walk back was less exciting but i think the cutest thing i saw was this old asian man on a bicycle . he cycled past me and wished me good morning very loudly with the biggest smile on his face . how cute . felt kind of bad cos i couldn't exactly return the favour - wished him the same but couldn't manage to give a very big smile .

not used to being up this early , but i can't go back to bed . have to wait for the gardener (his name is danny ! as in *oh danny boy*) , who says he will be here around 12pm . however according to dad , i have to wait around cos that means he could be here any time . ohhh that's great ! dad has gone to an early morning meeting so i am left to wait for dear danny to come garden our ... garden .

grace is supposed to come over later , meaning after she wakes up . i bet she's not even up yet . i bet she's still in a deep sleep . perhaps i shall be mean and wake her up ? haha . noo noo , i won't. cos i know she'll yell at me and threaten to take the gilmore girls tape (with all its milo goodness) back . we can't have that now can we , where would i be without my favourite episode of gilmore girls . where ? oh i dunno , probably in some corner rocking back and forth with an insane twitch in my right eye .

ok . enough blabbering for now . the sun is very bright (and no , that has nothing to do with what i'm going to say next , just thought i'd tell you all that the sun is shining very brightly . hmm , sounds like a song !) .
goodbye then . going to sit here enjoying my bowl of nutri-grain and milk (it's cereal you dumbasses , really good cereal that's actually not that nutritious) . oooh lookie , cosmo . yeah i'll enjoy that too .

hello all .
just got back from albany and i must say , it's been a marvellous weekend !

left on saturday morning with kate and her mum and the 3 of us drove down to albany . leah's leaving for sweden on jan 18 so she had a farewell party-cum-early birthday party . it was really nice to see jill , kate , leah and katelyn again :) had lots of fun and there was always plenty to eat and drink . free alcohol , of course we all had some !

had the best time ever and leah has the nicest house ! it's on a hill , big and very nicely decorated . she has purple walls in her tv room ! haha . anwayyy , jill made a dvd for the musos and so we watched it - extremely entertaining . really miss the band . -sigh- , good times .

oh and what better way to end the weekend ...
came home just in time to watch gilmore girls and milo was on it today !! he talked lots and i think today's episode is offiically my most favourite one . soooo if grace is nice enough , she's going to let me keep that recording , right ?? *nudge* *nudge*
AND THEN who do i see in church , but christian . ahh . made the day complete and he's still as hot as ever . lol .

ok well i'm done ranting now , shall go play some random online games .

am currently very bored .
so bored that i have resorted to taking multiple pictures of samson on my phone . not only are his mannerisms very cute , but i think he enjoys posing or something . now he's just lying on the floor , staring out the window . lol . unfortunately , i can't upload the pictures cos i don't have the cable for it . so i suppose you will just have to believe me when i say that our (soon-to-be bald) doggie is the most funny and cute thing ever .

oh yes .
i also bought a new calendar for only $3.55 ! a lesson to the uninformed : always wait till 2005 has arrived to buy your calendars , cos that's when they start to sell them at half-price . anyway , the calendar got me quite excited (yes , small things amuse me) because it has frogs on it . yes you heard me correctly , frogs ! pictures of real frogs , not fake ones btw . entered in birthdays and i've realised that i don't have any close friends (or friends for that matter) who are born in may . unless i do and just don't know it . so if you're my friend and you're born in may , don't hesitate to tell me ! and even if you're not born in may , i'd like to know when your birthday is anyway .

if you talked to me last night on msn and i told you that i was going for a walk early this morning with my dad , well sorry , i lied . as you guessed it , i didn't make it out of bed this morning . dad came in at 8.30am to wake me up , but i was too tired (and lazy) to get up . but when i did wake up , managed to do some skipping and sit ups - an attempt at feeling less guilty about not waking up to exercise . i don't think dad was very surprised anyway . haha .

anyhooo , i think i'm gonna go help dad prepare dinner . we're having salmon tonight :)
*p.s. finding neverland is a REALLY good movie . it's so sad though ! made us all cry . even the old man sitting in front of us . incidentally , there were lots of old people (couples , actually) watching the movie . it was cute .

just watched the most powerful episode of nip/tuck ever .
it was about this woman who used to be a prostitute , and how she and this nun faked a stigmata just so that she (the woman) would be able to stay with the church - instead of being sent to stay in a halfway house .

it was really really controversial , what with all the doubts about religion and believing in God . hmm . the best episode of nip/tuck , i say . leaves me with lots to think about , but i'm slightly traumatised .

anyhooo , i'm so glad that i have teefeenee (cheok , that is) ! ahhaha . it's so unbelieveable how much we have in common ! found out just then that she wears boys boxers too , and that she's just as amused as i am with the pee flap (so that they can drip and dry) . i think the only thing we don't agree on is how hot johnny depp is . lol .

cheok - leading me... says:
go go lyndii!!!! told you we were from the same planet...they only had two beings before it exploded....you and me!!!


*if you're reading this my dear , hellooo !!

ooh , i'm so excited ! going to watch 'finding neverland' tmr !! ahh !! johnny !! i forsee lots of squealing and high-pitched talking ...
so i'm just going to leave it at that , before i get more excited .
night !

home sweet home

arrived at 1230 this morning .
flew qantas and it was one of the most horrible flights (ok, not as bad as flying lufthansa) . but still , you know what i mean . let me tell you why :

everything was going fine until we boarded the plane and as i was making my way to my seat (which was 26C) , i heard 2 ladies behind me say that their seats were 26 A and B . so i thought i'd be considerate and let them go in first , cos mine was the aisle seat . the fat obnoxious aussie lady (who thinks that wearing pin-striped tights are flattering for her figure) says thank you and then asks her mother to go in first BUT she asks her to sit on the seat in the middle (why she did that , i will never know) . meanwhile , the fat lady is trying to put her very large plastic bag in the overheard compartment . you see this took her some time and so i was in the way of the other pasengers just because that fat lady was in the way - she even stood on my seat to try to get her bag in .

after she's done with this , she finally tries to get to her seat - keeping in mind that she has to climb/squeeze past her mother who is sitting in the middle seat . so all's good , everyone's in their seats and the plane takes off . i thought everything was fine , until the man to my right took of his shoes . OH MY , the worst smelling feet on the face of this planet . it was like he hadn't washed his socks in a million years or something . ewww . very disgusting . what i don't understand is that how NOBODY else seemed to be uncomfortable with the smell except me . are aussies that unhygenic that they can't smell musty socks ?

so yes . that was why the flight was horrible . i'm just happy that there was inflight entertainment and that qantas has finally installed little screens for each passenger . so i managed to watch 'vanity fair' and see some of jude law in another movie . that was good .

since i've been back , i've bathed samson ! at last . can't trust lynne with him cos he was sooooo bloody filthy and disgusting . cleaned him and his pen up , so now he smells clean . huzzah . he just really needs a haircut that's all - must call crazy groomer mimi .

had a really great holiday and it's surprising that one month seems like such a long time . hahah . done so much stuff too , been going out every day since the exams have ended . feeling very tired at the moment .
feels nice to come home cos i missed my room and the house and dad and samson . it's still funny how dad insists that he doesn't love samson , even though he kicks the ball around with him and feeds him food . haha .

anyway , will post the photos up soon . there's LOTS of them .
*p.s. HAPPY NEW YEAR !! it's 2005 . got to get used to writing that year now .
