reading spree continues #13

didn't really do much today.

did watch a bit of tennis though
and the camera angle on johanna griggs
makes her look like her boobs are sagging
lol.
um, yes.

currently have Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
stuck in my head
its a song that gets stuck easily
i like the song though
for now.

i also went to the library again today
and borrowed more books
i think i have like 40 items checked out
:)
i tend to borrow way more than i end up returning
oh, and i finished 'The year Nick McGowan came to stay' today
i really like the ending
it was a warm and fuzzy ending
but
the girl didn't end up with the guy
so it wasn't typical
but it was nice
cos it wrote how that change can bring life long friends
i thought that was nice

i also want to collect the orange penguin classic books
i bought 3 the other day from borders
cos they were on sale
i bought:
The picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
How I live now - Meg Rosoff
Tales of the Unexpected - Roald Dahl
i wanted to buy more
but that is sufficient for now
since i've borrowed so many book from the library
:)

meant to go strawberry picking tmr
but not anymore
i was looking forward to it
:(
oh well.

old vs new names #12

another one from loldwell.com
i did laugh out loud
:)

i've decided that i want to collect the penguin classic books
the orange ones
i bought 3 yesterday, since they were on sale at borders
kinda wanted to buy more
but oh well

so, on saturday
i was working
and i had to sort out prescriptions
and i thought about something
how there are names that are old
and you just assume that the person is old by their name
say i had the name 'kate'
there was heaps of her prescriptions there
but still i didn't think other as being past middle age
(i don't actually know how old she was, but i don't think she was that old by her scripts)
but then you have names like 'agyness'
which is a old name
but yet there's agyness deyn
who's a young and super successful model
but if i knew someone was named agyness
and i hadn't seen them
i think i would assume them as old
or even elderly
hmm

anyhow, tired

BYE.

heatwave #11

damn it was hot today
damn i had work today
damn the air con broke down at work in the middle of the day

sigh
it was super hot.
like stuffy and barely breathable.
so,
i didn't really do much at work
cos i couldn't without seeming to exert myself too much
haha
so it was me getting paid for mopping around
since there wasn't many customers
at all.

i shall go mope so more
:)

oops #10

sorry i skipped a day
i realised at 12.57 am last night
but i couldn't be bothered
but i promise it wasn't my fault though
my dad was hogging the computer
all of last night
sigh.

i'll do another blog tonight
:)

capped #9

currently capped
cos my dad watches a lot of chinese dramas
and stuff
sigh
its so slow
even this didn't load properly

though it is quite funny though
you wouldn't think a middle aged man would be into these dramas
and things
he'd watch them in the middle of the night
and in the morning
and he watches like the chinese singing contests as well
though i do find my dad a little odd
he can go out for a walk for nearly 2 hours
where on earth would you walk to for 2 hours?
and he's trying to lose weight
but eats at irregular times of the day
and he pretty much only eats two minute noodles
which re really fattening and bad for you
and he refuses to eat beef
because he says he was born in the chinese zodiac year of the cow/ox
therefore he can't eat cow products
lol
like he'd go to eat pho in footscray
and would only eat the chicken one
and he also only likes to eat cooked foods
as in he won't eat vegies unless they're cooked
but i think he's fine with fruits though

lol, as i'm typing
my parents are right behind me
watching tennis
so i think i shall end it now

haha, my dad looks funny trying to squat a fly
:)

BYE!

read read read #8

shall be a short post
cos it friggin hot
and i'm tired
and i have work tmr.

i am well into my reading phase
borrowed like 10 books today
wanted to to borrow more
but i wouldn't have been able to carry them home
i borrowed Ernest Hemingway
bt i know from the past
as in writing classes in yr 10 called 'Express Yourself'
to read Hemingway
you kinda need to be quite alert
and read between the lines
not just whats there
i remember we read a few of his short stories in class
and there was one that was a conversation between this man and woman
and even though they never said anything related to it
and he as narrator never mentioned any of it
you were supposed to figure that the woman had just had an abortion
thus, through the tone and emotions of what the characters are saying
he hints things.
thus you ned an alert mind to read him.
but i was too tired
and hot so i couldn't be bothered
though i did start The Old Man and The Sea
but then opted for something lighter and easier to read

gah, its so hot
:(

sigh.

internal music wars? #7

currently loving arrested development
:)

i think i'm currently going through a reading phase
haha
2 phases in one week
read 3 books in 2 days
and no
i haven't watched any movies since love, actually
but it isn't my fault
i'm working 4 days straight this week
damnit, i haven't done that since this time last year
when i practically worked full time for the whole summer
so yes.
and i'm just in a reading mood these days
&
i'm also using the work thing as the excuse
as to not exercising at all this year
but its only been 7 days
i swear i'll start on saturday
:)
hopefully.

currently also listening to florence + the machine on repeat
i'm so excited to see her on the 30th at laneway fest
:)
i'm also listening to her on repeat
cos i do this thing
where i liked to get the artist plays up on my last.fm
and i want to get them into my top 10
it kinda gets harder and harder since my fav artists change constantly
and you have to play them more and more

my current top 10:

1		The Strokes			1,122
2		Yeah Yeah Yeahs			998
3		Death Cab for Cutie			776
4		Regina Spektor			772
5		Tegan and Sara			640
6		Angus & Julia Stone			570
7		Sarah Blasko			544
8		Arctic Monkeys			465
9		The Beatles			426
10		Feist			397

now florence + the machine is no. 12 with 374 plays
thus playing on repeat
and see currently my love of florence is currently surpassing say angus & julia stone
and sarah blasko
thus playng her even more
because i want her to have more plays than them
haha
i know i'm lame
you don't have to tell me
:)

free at 100? #6

so theres this old man that comes into our pharmacy
who's 99
apparently if he lives to 100
everything is free for him
i'm not sure what it means by everything
but he said rent
and i assume medications as well
but 100
thats so
wow.
and he looks ok still
his hearing isn't very good
but otherwise he seems
relatively healthy and well

anyhow, there's this website i like
www.loldwell.com
i really like the archives
they're quite funny
:)

hitting 'the rock' bottom? #5

enough said.

---------------------

currently watching survivor samoa
very amusing
cos there's this guy that just keeps finding the immunity idol
and frustrating the other team
(i don't particularly like the other team, cos they're kinda like bullies)
and i find it so funny
that he just keeps finding the it
this ep is actually quite interesting
its currently a deadlock between two people
very amusing :)

yeah, not much to say today
haven't watched Bobby yet
too tired
might go to sleep soon
work tmr



toodles !

little gymnast #4

almost skipped a day
already
i only just realised it was twenty to 12
oops

made a tiramisu today
turned out to be the most successful one yet
:)
but cos the mascapone was so expensive at sims
i used dessert cream, and it was brandy flavoured
tastes good
but i'm going to get so fat from it
:)

also watched Love Actually
(you see i'm going through a phase
of watching a lot of dvds
that i borrowed from the library)
anyways, i liked it
i lso watched the deleted scenes
and theres thisone i kinda find quite random and funny
you know that little boy, who's in love with that little girl, joanna
well they were going to make him a gymnast
and he shows off his abilites
when he's running through the airport to find joanna
like he somersaults over the employees
cartwheels between chairs
and does like high bars to run away from the security guards
i found it so random
but funny
but they didn't have that in the final cut of the movie though
lol

and just so you know
tmr, i'm going to watch a movie called Bobby
so be warned if i do another movie post
:)

anyhow

auf Wiedersehen !

black balloon #3

i watched black balloon tonight,
i really enjoyed it.

if you don't know, its about this teenage boy, Thomas,
who is supposedly turning 16
(but the kids look at least 18)
who has to deal with life living with an older brother, Charlie, who is autistic and also has ADHD
and pretty much the mother is the only one who can really handle him properly
but she's pregnant and suffering from pre-aclampsia
(which is pretty much just high blood pressure during pregnancy, and may potentially harm the foetus)
and the doctor tells her that she must take it easy and the dad and Thomas have to take care of Charlie
and its hard on them because Charlie would do things like run for ages and ages
and then go into peoples houses and use their toilet
because he just doesn't understand

i really liked the ending, the performance bit of the movie
it was really cute

and gemma ward was quite cute in it
she keeps saying "wowee"
lol
but i was kind surprised at first
her voice was lower than i thought it would be
but then i was cool with it :)
and she's so pretty :)

and the actor who played the autistic brother, Charlie
was really good and really convincing
like i watched the special features
and they interviewed the actor, Luke Ford
they were saying how they had to go out in public and act as his character
and with Rhys Wakefield playing his brother, Thomas
and he was saying how those who suffer from autism
things are a little hazy for them
so they don't understand social norms and things
and so while he was in character
him and his 'brother' went to a movie, which was Eragon
and when Eragon dies, even though the social reaction would be of sadness
autistic people don't understand this
and he would giggle
and that would help 'Thomas' get into character as well
that sort of feeling of embarrassment
and wishing his brother was normal

also in the movie, Charlie would also sit in the backyard with a stick
and just keep tapping and making incoherent noises
(he can't speak, he only signs)
and the neighbour, who is ignorant, would tell them to shut up
at the end while he's doing that again
and after Thomas finally accepts that his brother can't change
Thomas joins his brother and does the same thing as him
ie. taps a stick and make noises
and you see the neighbour go 'shut up'
but then while she's watering the plants
she accidentally taps the hose to the beat
i really like that scene
cos its like
they won a silent battle

i really really enjoyed the movie
everyone should definitely watch it :)

♥

resolutions? #2

today seemed to go by really fast
probably cos i had a lot to do at work today
and by the time i finished work its pretty much night time

i watched Edward Scissorhands on tv tonight, though
so sad
his face is so like
naw...
also, i've seen this makeup tutorial to look like him
its soo good
here
as in she really looks like him

well i guess its new year
thus resolutions
but to be honest
i haven't really though too deeply about it
actually study hard this year
cos i feel like, well i wasn't at the top, but high up in the class
and very high up in terms of normal schools
now i'm pretty much right at the bottom
and the problem is that i do feel like i am trying
yet i still suck.
sigh
so yes no. 1 would be to study harder
no. 2 to try and exercise more regularly
because for me
i have random spurts
like sometimes i would exercise like every day
then sometimes i wouldn't exercise for months
no. 3 make more effort to talk to people
its not like i'm a social outcast or anything
but sometimes (or most of the time)
i really can't be bothered to talk to people
no. 4 read my bible & christian books more often
that, instead of things like twilight and vampire diaries
haha
cos obviously, they're more important
no. 5 try to be more clean
i think when people meet me
i think they think i'd be very clean
but my room usually is an absolute pigsty
as emma said "there are no words" to describe it
when its at its worst
haha
hence, i shall aim to be cleaner
side note: i did clean my room on new years eve
so that i'd start the new year with a clean room
so far so good :)
no. 6 eat more fruits and vegies and red meat
the first two are obvious why
red meat cos i think i have low iron levels
cos i get tired easily
no. 7 just try to be the best i can be
ie. try to be more friendly
less bitchy
more helpful
etc. etc.

yes, made it for the deadline :)

love you all.

new year, start of a new decade #1

welcome to 2010 !

i don't predict anything
i won't say that i think this year would be a good year
because there's always good and bad
and if you want to see a year as being a good year
then you look at all the good stuff and forgetting all the bad
and vice versa
but i hope to live it to the fullest
take both the ups and downs
and see how we go.

but its a new decade which is kind of strange
because by the end of this decade
i'll probably be married
even have kids
and thats kinda scary
i'll be 29
which sounds a lot better than saying i'll be 30
:)

anyhow, i'm aiming to blog once a day
though my promise is at least three times a week
just in case i miss a day
but anyhow

so, let's begin !

Oh Yeah !

just saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live tonight
i'm on such a high right now
it was so awesome !!

& i know it sounds kinda creepy
but i got to touch karen o
!!!
she is so awesome.
sigh.

and i was so happy that they played Maps tonight
but i wished they played Hysteric
but thats ok
cos the show was soooooooo good.

(though, the support act kinda sucked
they seemed to be a bunch of jerks
and none of them even smiled
not even once)

and i was so glad that they didn't do what bands usually do
and just play from their new album
but played from all their albums
my fav song they played was probably Zero
even though it isn't my favourite on the album
(but still an awesome song)
but i guess i liked that song the best cos it had lots on confetti
and the big eyeballs that were thrown into the audience
my next fav would have to split between Dull Life or acoustic Maps
oh, Maps is one of my ultimate favourite songs

:)

lovelovelove.

merry CHRISTmas !

sorry i haven't blogged in a looong time
but i promise to start posting at least 3 times a week
beginning on the 1st of jan :)

christmas is officially in 45 minutes
& i hope everyone remember what christmas is about
and it does honestly bother me
when some people sing songs like 'amazing grace'
because they don't exactly know what they are singing about
or when there's lines like 'christ is our lord'
and it bothers me even MORE
when some people think christmas is about the birth of santa
wtf?
major sigh
christmas is so commercialised now
its nearly losing its meaning
anyhow, i should stop
before i get a little more annoyed

just one thing i ask,
when you eat you're Christmas lunch/dinner
or opening presents
just remember why it is called CHRISTmas
because it celebrates the birth of Jesus CHRIST

the end.

perverted bubbles?

creepy.

though it does have a point
but still creepy.

tick tock clock :)

so, i haven't blogged since i finished exams
its funny how
i blogged a lot during exams
but now that i have freedom
i can't really be bothered anymore.

i bought a new clock today
its pretty awesome :)
its one of those flip ones
as in the time flips
i'll take a photo of it

melbourne central BLACKLISTED.

lol
i like that title
it looks so threatening
so well
yesterday i realised
(and i have no idea why it didn't occur to me earlier)
that there are absolutely ZERO recycle bins in melbourne central
(apart from the train station)
i had come to this realisation
because i had finished my 1.5 L coles water
and wanted to throw my bottle out
but couldn't cos i could not find a recycle bin
and i guess this has never happened to me before
like i'd always end up finding a recycle bin
either outside, or some other place
that i had never been struck with such a dilema
the thing is
there's SO many bins in melbourne central
you can walk like 5 metres and find one
but ZERO recycle bins.
therefore, melbourne central is now on my blacklist
so to speak.

i think i shall write a letter of complaint
(after my exams)
and send it in.
but then,
i'm sure that someone has complained before
yet there are still no recycle bins
hmm.

and the thing is
its MELBOURNE CENTRAL
theres so many people going in there everyday
thus more litter
thus more can be recycled
like i wouldn't be as passionate with, i dunno, werribee plaza not having recycle bins
since it would not be as much litter
sigh.

oh, another incident like this was
when i was still working in oportos
there was
A) no recycle bins
B) no cardboard/paper recycle bins
see, i think i would be ok, with no recycle bin
but paper bin?
that's SUCH a waste.
like everything that comes in (as in stock)
is in boxes that are just thrown out.
hmph.

ok, end rant.
but yes, i will go and complain.

:)

p.s. jiali - so much for posting everyday. HAHA.

almost there.

only one more !!

i cannot wait til after monday
but the last exam is quite hard
there's so much to know
:(

& i'm like 27 lectures behind.
:(

bui love it how after i finish an exam
i can just gather all my notes together
and just put it all back on my shelf
cos before that they were all scattered all over my table/floor
but yes
i seriously seriously need to clean my room
but the thing is it didn't really bug me that it was messy
since i'm hardly in my room
since i got to the library to study
and get home to sleep
hm.

boring post
sorry.

♥

p.s. i re-embedded the office video below, since the other one was removed. watch it, i find it hilarious :)

prima donna

HAHA. oh i love erin! she's adorable & andy is so hilarious :)
ryan with eye makeup though, not so sure about.
and the crotch grab?
hmmm.

office love ♥
