Family time

Today i stayed at home and it was quite a warm day and by that i mean it was hot and i was sweating but not so hot that i decided to jump in the pool hahahaha, i was thinking of cleaning it properly today but that went down like bathwater after you pull the plug...the resolve was strong and grew weaker as time went on :P

so i played some starcraft and read for about an hour and forgot to have lunch...i mean i woke up early enough to have brunch hahahah 11 ;D i started the day off with a nice chicken piece and rice and made a few calls...very important calls about bloooood

so anyway i went to do some grocery shopping today and brought my sister along. we went to woolies first to get a trolley and buy like a hundred bucks worth of stuff ranging from nutella to measuring cups hahaha random hey?

so there i saw woolworths have this $2 for whatever you could fit in a bag and i dunno the produce didn't look that great so i decided against saving the money. the longest time spent was at the snow peas trying to pick the nice green ones which were still whole :P

so then we went to an asian shop and bought some vegies, went to butchery to buy meat and went to another asian shop to buy asian groceries, the one we usually go to. we then went back to the first asian grocery and bought lots of junk food for jennifer :P we weren't able to buy the box of coconut because the shop had run out and we only had 10 more minutes on the parking...so many cars hahahaha, i was so lucky that when i went around once i found a car park space :D i laughed at the other cars :D

so anyway we got back and i realised i hadn't had lunch after i put everything where it belonged so i grabbed an up and go and drank that...followed by a scone and some orange juice and some other juice which i am not too sure what it was but it was nice :P

so i played so WoW before having dinner which i only finished half since it was about 2 hours after my 'lunch' i did however manage to eat an ice cream after and felt so incredibly full that i went to my room and slept from 7 until 9 20 or something like that, the summer breeze was so nice and the bed so comfortable. first nap all holidays believe it or not!

so when i woke up i found my sister half wet and i asked her why? she told me the most random story. she was in the backyard and had asked mum if she could wash her hands with the water she was using to water the plants. she then splashed mum with residue water from her hands and mum drenched her with the hose. that would have explained why she was completely wet but she wasn't. so after that jennifer had decided that she didn't want to have a third shower...she'd had 2 today and that hose was a 'half' shower :P she had decided to use her body heat to dry herself...the fan didn't help her hahahaha it just made her cold :P

so anyway i don't know what it was maybe the sleep or the ridiculousness of trhe situation but my brother me my sister mum and dad had a really good time :D i'll describe it

so jennifer decided to get my blanket and wrap herself in it cos it was warm and it didn't let the fan make her cold. i went to make some nutella sandwiches for jennifer, alex and me and mum was watching a drama didn't really want to watch so she was watching it with one eye closed. i sat on the couch and started making fun of her and she opened both eyes and said, 'hey i don't need to be able to watch it i can just listen' but i ignored that and just imitated her to jennifer and we both started laughing so so much hahaha

afterwards jennifer asked mum if she was double jointed and the concept was completely lost on mum. jennifer showed her how her finger could be weird when she bent them and mum just bent them regularly and jennifer was laughing while trying to explain it to mum and mum just kept bending her finger normally, as a result i was laughing a lot as well. when mum finally got it and proved that she was, jennifer was like 'oh you are! now can you do this' and she started making a wavy motion with her hands clapped together

mum just ignored her. alex then proceeded to say 'hey mum can you put up your middle finger and put the rest down?' mum promptly did it and was surprised how easy it was...until jennifer, alex and i burst out laughing and she had this hilarious look on her face it was like one of intrigue that she looked at her middle finger and pointed at each of us in turn. we laughed so so much there and she went on to explain 'in chinese culture that isn't rude at all, its alright but pointing is rude' and as if on cue jennifer started pointing at me. like she took out her arm from the blanket and pointed at me haha.

it was just so many of these little things that made me laugh so much that made me realise that at the base of every friendship was laughter and enjoyment. i don't think i have laugh so hard and so much in a very very long time and its this that i'll miss in brisbane.

i'm flying back on the 12th! shall buy my textbooks and read them :D

down shizzle

yeah so what's going down in da hood dawwwwwwgzzzzz. it's Tdizzle here breaking it down for youse yo.

that's about all the gangster talk i know without becoming offensive and using words such as 'nigger' and 'b****' etc haha

so i showed aunty and uncle mark around to places i have scarcely been to and places i have never been to...amazing hey? like the opera house...barely went there but showed them anyway and manly never been there before, half an hour by ferry after getting to circular quay but i had the best best ice cream there!

it was tom and jerry and i got caramel something and sweet cookies and cream and also got the waffle cone to be dipped in chocolate and covered in nuts..not too sure what nuts they were but the ice cream was soooooo heavenly makes my mouth water just thinking about it now *graaaaa....is that the sound you make when your mouth waters? or rather when homer simpson's mouth waters? :P

anyway we walked around there and uncle mark told me stories about how its changed so much in the 10 years since he was there last. come to think about it a lot of places has changed in 10 years. for example i never thought about it but 10 years ago my cousins moved into their townhouses, 8 of them and over a period of time the houses have lost their 'new' smell (paint) :P and small changes are made around the place like a small door leading from the stairs so that my uncle's baby kids wouldn't go downstairs.

anyway i also showed aunty and uncle qvb which aunty was very fascinated by especially the stained glass windows and the old style architecture

bought some knives :D:D

got ben's present which i didn't go to his bbq thing cos i was unsure how to get there and didn't want to commit so much time getting there

ummm went for ramen and movie today with my best friend at the moment adam..allen's gone uncommuncable and generally gone :P

blogging once a week

so perhaps my resolve to blog again is reduced to blogging once a week...better than 0 times a week!

so last couple of days i've been showing uncle mark and aunty susan(family friends i am staying with in brissy) around town...and the city hahaha

so they came to sydney yesterday from woolongong because they were visiting uncle mark's cousin. Basically they came over and chatted for a while before we went to cabramatta and did some awesome shopping which left my arms tired from carrying stuff......... then we went to our cousin's town house place where 7 of my uncles from my mother's side were and they talked there for a couple of hours before they came back to our place for dinner and then went to aunty susan's cousin's place.

this morning i woke up early again...2 days in a row...its becoming a habit hey? i woke before 9 as well....insane! and got ready because they were returning the car and afterwards were going to the city. we did that and it was a pleasant but long trip...i kinda forgot how long train trips could be because i haven't been to the city in a while..oooops :P

so we went to the sydney opera house and looked around a booked a tour in a little over an house. we went to have good ol lunch at a guylian restaurant...a burgette was made to sound very fancy hahahaha and thus expensive!

learn that the sydney opera house runs at a loss and uses huge amounts of power.....took 16 years to build and was 15 times the estimated budget hahahaha the man was like a walking google for the sydney opera house :P

after that aunty susan was tired so we went back home instead of going to explore chinatown....i blame all those steps! :P

aside from that i am nearly finished fool's fate...it was so sad....

so its been little over a week

well i'll start off with what i did today and backtrack, like a rewind sort of thing hahaha

so now it is 940 and at 9 39 i was watching my brother play world of warcarft hahahaha i'll just do it day by day :D much easier!

so today at midnight, a couple of my friends were still over because we had gone out to dinner and a couple of them had a beer...and they're P platers meaning they're not allowed to have any alcohol in their system at all :P so they slept over

at midnight, we were watching a movie called mind hunters which seemed somewhat disjointed but it was really suspenseful and good all round movie i think :D i mean it did keep us up til about 1 30 hahaha. simultaneously, we were watching some indian movie with the actress from bride and prejudice, she's gorgeous! same as jessica alba! gorgeous!

it was funny cos we weren't watching it for the storyline at all, rather something to do between commercials :P and the character's name was namrata and we just kept saying it when we flicked over to it..from what i gathered it was a corny storyline :P

anyway i did some reading after and set up a matress and blankets and pillows for the two friends staying over :P. i don't know what time they slept but at 2 30 when i went to bed they were watching tennis

so this morning my alarm went at 8 30....6 hours of sleep doesn't agree with me :P so it took me a bit over half an hour to get out of bed and made myself breakfast before going to pick ann up from the station and then eating my breakfast and persuading jennifer to go bike riding with us. she conceded and took 40 minutes to ready herself.........

after that i drove to allen's house and he showed ann around his house because she won't be able to make his party in a couple of days

so then i drove everyone to olympic park. we got there and it was still cloudy, like the weather man on the internet suggested :D

so we went to the bike hire and hired 4 bikes for 4 hours...fitting hey? we biked high and we biked low, and round and round...to get to the top of hills, we biked fast, we biked slow, all around olympic park and through bicentenial park. to keep with the healthy idea we had subway for lunch HAHA

my butt hurts

when it was 2, it started to rain so we decided to go and return the bikes, we came and there was a note saying 'be back in 5 minutes...we waited and waited, seeing a few people pass and no one came to relieve us of our bikes so we just left them there and went home...home they don't charge anything to my debit card...

anyway, on the drive home, we decided to bowl and my sister is not good at bowling but she beat us all :P

did i mention my butt is sore?

yeah well it is...on that delightful note, i shall proceed to yesterday

so i was reading golden fool by robin hobb for most of yesterday...after getting a wake up call from ann...at 12 30 pm :P and i managed to have 3 meals yesterday...same as today :D need more fruit i think....tomato is a fruit right? lol

anyway at 6 30 like planned, 4 guys came to my place and we went to cook's hill for the steak i have been hearing about. so we got there and there was a line of 40 people waiting...40!

we waited like half an hour then i went to get some pizza to eat while we waited. .. by the time (10 minutes) the pizza was done, it was our turn to go in and have dinner so for our entree we had a really really good vegetarian pizza :D then we had the steak. allen and i played some pool and i realised how bad i'd gotten...oh well i was never really that good to begin with :P

then we went back to my place and played some band hero, i made a few calls to see if anyone who just came back from korea would be interested to go bike riding today, no one was :(

that was pretty much yesterday

day before was new year and guess what! starcraft! ohhh yeah! and party but mainly starcraft looool

the other days i don't remember that well :P pretty much reading...i mean i've read like 4 books this holidays and only started like mid december :P

yeah.....it got a bit hazy before new year....cos it was last year's news :P
