this never gets old
so sunday night i was at a chinese new year/ australia day celebration dinner at my family friend's place. it was full of retirees so they were all filling me on how that stretch of road used to be an apple and cherry orchard - irrigation pipes not removed properly - yabbies (see: mini crayfish) under the house. it was a pretty classy affair with beer, wine and champagne, mini puffs etc. up to this point, it was a mostly oz affair. then an asian looking family came in...
they looked lost so i very graciously introduced myself. one of them was called clavanova or something like that. heck knows what that means. my guess it's something like cleopatra: you know, something fancy and classy. all i know is that her parents were probably smoking something even more lethal than grace's parents when they called her grace. anyway, let's call her C.
C: oh so where're you from?
J: Singapore
C: oh really? i wouldn't have known.
J: oh it's simple. see this: cockiness and pretentious smile? *big as grin*
C: oh! but i'm singaporean too...
J: I see. *nervous laugh* so... *sip from glass* would you like a drink?
slightly awkward for the rest of the night. slightly.

ma tĂȘte fait mal
my head hurts. i don't know if its a fever or if it's my head just acting up. but well, there you go.
i've had some interesting days. best of all was meeting up one of my best mates joyci, whom i've been mates with for a whopping.. 19 years? since we were 3 anyway. its a friendship thats gone from strength to strength despite the last 5 or 7 years with her being in oman or canada and me being in brunei or new zealand. it was nice going to the spa and chilling with her and catching up over dinner. she came back to mines and we both had an awesome time watching step up 2. and looking at that chase dude. esp when he dances topless. sighness. but yea, then my brother and his mates came and we all chilled and it was fun. there's still a whole box of weed in my apt that hasn't been used up. and i bet my brother will forget that its there, mum will come over for a visit and all hell will break lose. on the bright side, she might think its spices and use it in one of our curries :D
i like lollipop.
ooh i'm listening to that song, where my party people at. CATCHY!!
anyway i'm as sick as a frog. which sucks. because frogs are ugly. and its so random, i don't know how i fell sick but hey yo yippi yai yo.
jason, you little girl. i don't appreciate being voodoo whatever-ed. oh oh oh but i saw that picture of you on facebook when you were a tiny little tot perched on a bicycle. AWWWWWWWWWWWW. you were such an ADORABLE little BABYYYY!! hey, japan boy, i want to see your baby pictures :D
i'm flying down to kuching tomorrow. and i'll stay there for a month i think. i'll miss the chill lifestyle of KL. its exactly like it is back in NZ in some ways, because me and my brother do exactly what we want with no pressure from parents, parents-to-be etc etc. i have a crazy load of packing to do. such a crazy crazy load of packing and i haven't done it yet. i have less than 11 hours to get it done. but. i'd rather sleep wake up and see that its done itself :D
do you realise how anyone's a singer these days? almost everyone is a "popstar". damn right, i'm envious. it should be me.
i want to meet a really really really really cute guy. its so hard to find that in these parts. everyone's short or malaysian. so not my thing. like omygawdddd... like so nottt.. like you know.
anyway, i have a fever now. and i want my packing to do itself.
do it. just DO IT. faster. oh yeah.
its 2009 now anyways. happy new years people. i hope 09 is way way way better than 08. though i wonder how anything could be more epic than 08 was. it was large and out there in so many senses. the awesome, the good, the bad and the ugly.
do you think you can find it, better than you have it?
