its creepy when you get honked at when you are just waiting for the bus
its creepier when they expect a reaction other than disgust
so i got honked at by this fat guy in a car
but it was a busy road so he had to keep driving
but he kept turning around to see my response
i just kept giving him a 'wtf ' look
but seriously what did he expect
me blowing kisses at him??
loser.

kiddiessss #39

yes. sorry.
i majorly screwed up the days/posts
making up for them now.

so, well at church i teach sunday school
and the class i teach is class 2,
which is kids from grade 1 to grade 3
and well last year
i had like 4/5 grade 3 kids
and 3 grade 3 kids
and the older kids would just totally dominate answering the questions and things
and show of their reading skills and whatnot
but now this year the older kids have moved up to class 3
which is grade 4 - 6
meaning i have 3 grade 2 kids
and i taught them for the first time this year
and its friggin awesome
:)
like they all talk now and answer the questions
and want to read
like last year, i would have to go up to each of them individually
to check that they know what they are doing
in puzzles and things
but now its great.
i was so happy after i taught them yesterday.
i love my new class.
not that i didn't love my previous class
but you know, i like this better.

though another thing i'd like to mention
after a year of teaching kids
the best way to get kids entertained
give them something to colour in.
seriously, i'd be teachin them
and they'd ask, 'can we colour now?'
haha, its the best and hardly any mess
(as opposed to crafts)
the only thing you need to do is to sharpen pencils for them
:)

though one things i'm sad about
i asked the kids how old they were yesterday
and they're all 6/7
and then i asked how old they thought i was
and jasmine (one of the kids) said i was 27
27!!
:(
lol.

moth #38

so yesterday,
i found friggin dead moth IN my violin.
just thought you'd like to know.

sorry for the short posts.
i dunno lately, i've been feeling really lethargic
like really
like dizziness and things.
but then i went to the doctor last month and they said my iron levels are fine.
but i dunno.
yeah, so i kinda haven't been into doing much stuff.
like before the holidays
i'd be like
'well, this holidays, i want to do this this and this'
and it never gets done really.
due to laziness
and wanting to just lay in bed and not think.
sigh.

sigh. #37

yes missed a day again.
like i was going to blog,
but then i realise i should blog after 12am
which means its already the next day
so i kinda just leave it.
and blog later.
sigh.

stranger sprint #36

you know when you're walking to a particular place
and someone overtakes you
and you feel the urge to walk faster to overtake them again
and it becomes an unspoken race.
haha
i do that often
especially when i walk to the train station
or from the train station
cos the passage i walk
theres only one way you can go
so its an obvious race
and an obvious winner
which is usually me
cos i'm lame like that.

though, if i find the person is kinda weird
or creepy
then i let them overtake me
and walk even slower
so that theres a bigger margin between us.

yes,
i know.
i'm lame.
what's new?

flashy lash #35

"i'll take vampires over werewolves any day"
vampires - minuit

the song is ok
but very cute
haha :)
but yes minuit is a new zealand band with a french name
& their website is so cute
http://www.minuit.co.nz/
and i like the girl in it
she has cool eye lashes in their film clip
:)

actually i'm kind of having a fake eyelash phase
like i don't where them
but i think they're pretty
like at work we get catalogues and things
and there was this one with all these false lashes
they're so cool
its like shu uemura ones
like with feathers and things
i kinda wanted to ask vivien (the manager) to order them
but i knew if she did it would be the plain black ones
not the pretty colourful ones
oh well
:)

lol, it kind of sounds like i talked about minuit to talk about false lashes
but no
i didn't exactly know where this blog was going when i started
see i usually know when i start writing
and i write (type) down ideas onto my phone during the day
if i have an good idea
but yes
not today
haha.

:)

survivor #34

very early post today
its only like an hour and a half since m last one
but i finally finished watching the season finale of survivor samoa
and i have thoughts on it

i wanted out of the three for mick to win
but it seemed he didn't get any votes at all
but i'm glad natalie won over russel
like he played an amazing game
but he backstabbed too many people
and it came back to bite him
especially when he said he valued i think it was 'honour, trust and integrity'
or something like that
yet his strategy to win was to 'lie, cheat and steal'
and he seemed so bitter when he didn't win
seriously
especially offering natalie money so that he could have the title of sole survivor
but yes,
after watching the reunion
i think i would have liked brett to win
he's cute :)
haha
also, excited for the next season of 'heroes vs.villains'
russel is defs on the villains team
how can he not be.
but looking back on it, i think i have only watched like 3 or 4 seasons of survivor
and none of them completely
i usually only start watching near the end
when its just before they go merge into one tribe
but yes.
will watch the next season though
cos this season was just so interesting
:)

p.s. happy birthday rowie!

shopping! #33

currently waiting for the megavideo
so i can continue to watch the survivor final
sigh
kinda bored.

anyway, went to highpoint today
with my mum
and its the best going shopping with my mum
cos she pays
bought two pairs of shoes
and a pair of jeans
(side note: i've always wondered why its called a 'pair' of jeans, since its not really a pair, but then i guess you would call it a pair of legs)
she always comments how she always gets the bad end of the deal when we go shopping
haha
but i think its better now
like during high school
it seemed like we went shopping like every saturday
whereas now its just once in a while
and plus i get lots of my clothes from op shops
which i pay for
(since its so cheap)
and she always tells me i have too many clothes
and i always have work on saturdays
so we don't shop so much now
lol
this was such a random rant

ok, bye.

awesome prediction #32

what's even funnier about this is that MadTV doesn't exist anymore
this video is at least 4 years old
:)


p.s. i want one of these mixtape pouches
how cute are they?
http://www.etsy.com/shop/bravemoonman?page=1
they're so expensive though.
sigh

ultimate rick roll #31

yeah sorry 20 mins late. oops.

well, let me tell you about how jacky is on the end of the ultimate rick roll
its quite funny
so i hope you do know what a rick roll is
if not go wiki it
so the guy who sings that song
"never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down....."
his name is Rick Astley
and Jacky lives on Astley Crescent
so, there is the theory out there that his street is named after him
thus, Jacky and his street is on the back end of the ultimate rick roll.
HAHA.

♥

p.s. jan is finished, already!

st. jerome's laneway festival '10 #30

so i went to the laneway fest today
it was pretty good
though it could have been so much better if it wasn't so hot
and the food wasn't so expensive
and if we managed to get a good spot for florence + the machine
but still pretty good nonetheless
i'll recap the people i saw
which weren't as many as i thought i would
but cos of the heat we decided to chill in the shade
than to go see bands in the heat

- black gold
i quite liked them, they played some songs which i recognised because i heard them on their website. i stayed there for a little but because in the beginning being very enthusiastic, i kinda wanted to see as many as i could

- oh mercy
they were ok, to be honest i preferred black gold better, but i think oh mercy drew a bigger crowd. they sang songs about liking your cousin, and having an affair with older women. lol

- panel of judges
i watched them for about one song, didn't like them or their sound so i went somewhere else

- hockey
i really liked them. definitely a band that i'll start listening to now, they're rock but also with beats so its dance-y. i liked a lot :)



- bridezilla
i do like some songs from bridezilla (as in before i even saw them), but some of the other ones are a bit drone-y so i only saw them for a bit and changed

- whitley
so me & jacky have seen him before, as he was the support for lior last year. he was ok, but honestly i prefered him in the more mellow setting rather than the outdoor rock setting, the mellow setting seemed to give his songs more feeling and mood.

- sarah blasko
sarah was so good, she has a super strong voice. i didn't expect it to be that good, like her voice sounded like it could have just been the recorded, except with huge breaths in between. i honestly didn't expect it to be that good, because i guess on the cd you can't tell its THAT strong. yes, i loved her. but she only really played stuff from her new album, which was ok but i prefer the older albums


- the xx
one of the other bands i was excited about (the other two being florence and sarah) but since sarah blasko and the xx were on at the same time i went half and half, so 20 mins watching sarah blasko and 20 mins watching the xx, which also meant i got the the venue later so i got a bad spot and couldn't see them properly, they were ok. would've been better if it wasn't so hot and we could see them. but they're currently one of the bands that i LOVE. i recommend: 'basic space', 'islands', and 'teardrops' (which is sort of a cover) :)

- dappled cities
they were ok, a typical rock band i thought. but they did come dressed in matching gold leotards :) which was definitely interesting. and a funny thing was that when they played most people were sitting and lounging on the lawn with only a few people at the front standing up. but then they invited sarah blasko to sing with them for one song and everyone stood up. then they went back to singing by themselves and most people sat back down (though there was more people standing up than previous) anyway, in an attempt to get a good spot for florence + the machine we left early to the other stage

- florence + the machine
attempt was kind of a failure, we should have just watched the band before florence and stood in the front so that we would be in the front for florence, but we didn't :( so came the desperate attempt to go near the front. and let me just mention this would have been about 40 mins BEFORE she came out. people seriously climbed trees and sat on fences to get a good spot for florence, and so though it was night time heat was a major problem. see in the day, it was the sun that made us hot, but for florence it was body to body heat. ekk. but i guess we ended up with an ok spot, i could sort of see her exceot when people infront of me decided to raise their arms. but it was damn hot. but florence + the machine was AMAZING :) i loved her, she was so good. definitely my favourite favourite act. and she played every song on her album (and the bonus track) the only one she missed was 'Girl with One Eye' which i didn't like that much anyway. but i ABSOLUTELY love pretty much every other song on that album (also learning her songs on guitar). so yes. i loveloveloved her.
oh also another funny thing that happened, so i mentioned how people climb on trees, well there were these people that climb on a roof (i have no idea how they got there, the roof was really high, think the roof of a big storage place or factory) and someone came out and told florence, and florence went unless the people get down from the roof, the police will make me stop playing. so the people got down. but yes she was awesome :) sigh.

so yes, that was my day.
also, today footscray was totally 10 times cooler than wherever you were :)
♥

sucks but still SUPER excited #29

i just realised that sarah blasko overlaps with the xx tmr
sigh i didn't realise it
cos sarah blasko started at 4.45
and the xx at 5
maybe i might go to see a bit of sarah blasko
and then head to the xx
i'm currently loving the xx atm
bought their album the other day
i really like it
:)

i'm currently so excited
theres also going to be markets and things there
:)
awesome

so EXCITED!!!!!

:)

brussels #28

went to madame brussels today
the place is so cute
its really girlie though
i wouldn't expect there would be that many guys having punch
:)
though there was quite a lot of people there
especially sitting outside
we drank a punch called 'undress me slowly'
haha

i'm currently watching tennis
the 'legends' doubles match
they're so random
they made the ball kids play a few points
and drank beer
and swapped teams
random.

noise pollution #27

damn tired right now
last night even though i went to bed at 1
couldn't get to sleep til around 3 or 4
because i think i was too warm
or there was this continual beeping sound outside
(it was low, but when there's no other sounds its noticeable)
and thinking i could sleep through those
i didnt do anything about it
til about 3
closing the window
and changing blankets
then this morning at around 8 or 9
there's continual loud banging
very loud
and turns out that well
let me explain first
so the set of flats that i live in
and the flats next to it
has a fence between it
and for some reason the fence at the back always falls down
they've tried to fix it once but it came down again
so this morning
men came and took even single fence out
hence the constant banging
and they haven't built in another one yet
so its kinda weird
the next set of flats' clothes line are adjacent to our driveway/carpark
but yes
i couldn't sleep this morning
either.
sigh.

australia day #26

had australia day bbq at logan reserve next to altona beach today with my church
i love asian bbqs
i love it how theres heaps of food
but its all asian
like noodles
and nem nuong
and spring rolls
and lemongrass beef
and i didn't even have a sausage, with onion and tomato sauce today
i feel so un-australian
lol.

i'm watching tennis now
mens doubles
though its kinda boring
but i love Henri Leconte
he's so funny
its like they're just watching and having their own convos
instead of like commenting tactically
and he laughs funny too
lol
:)

laneway countdown #25

so today i was spending a lot of my day
working out who i was going to see at what time on saturday
for the laneway fest
(because the plaiying times is out :)
damn, i'm excited :)
so i've spent today listening up on the bands i don't know
and working out whether i want to see them or not
:)

fun fun.

matching? #24

one thing that disgusts me
couples that coordinate clothing
and i don't mean at the off occasion of balls or something
or going to a sports event
i mean going out
and by cordinating
i do mean coordinating
not they happen to wear similar things
because maybe they have the same tastes
in sport
or something
but coordinating just cos they are going out
disgusts me
like once i saw this couple
who wore
i kid you not
matching blue polos, khaki shorts and matching brown crocs
urgghhh.
and even more because of the crocs
ew.
and also fobs who match because the girl thinks its cute.
shiver.

yes, i know. #23

i missed two days
but i swear it was an accident.
i went out yesterday
and the day before i was absolutely knackered
sorry.
but i will make it up to you :)

anyhow,
so saturday love actually was on tv
and i watched it again
and i was just thinking
you know that bit with keira knightley
and that guy with the signs
like, how was the guy so sure that keira's character was going to open the door
and not her husband
it would be VERY awkward if the husband opened the door
HAHA.
so yes
:)

quick #22

played tennis today
yes, in the heat.
yes, in the wind.
it was ok, but would've been better if the conditions weren't so bad.

also did some speed cleaning of jacky's house
because his parents are coming back tonight
it was a complete mess, even though he insisted it wasn't that bad
we did ok
not that clean but decent enough.

yeah, quick post today
tired,
i have work tmr
& not much to say anyway.

BYE!

fingerprints #21

so today i got a new screen protector for my phone
(you know that plastic bit)
and i asked the girl to put it on for me
cos i didnt want bubbles and stuff
and so she was cleaning my screen with the cloth
and then she cleans it with her fingers
so theres fingerprints all over my screen
under the plastic
lucky though its not that obvious
but seriously as if you use your fingers to clean the screen

:)
