Haha, I came across this Natalie Dee comic a few weeks ago and thought that it was time to share it with all of you
http://www.nataliedee.com/ There are heaps more weird and random comics on the site, so enjoy!
So a month's worth of events has passed by within a blink of an eye and here I am struggling to remember them. I am also in a really cbb mood right now and feel like postponing this entry, but I already uploaded a picture and I can really only post it on Tuesdays so BAH! I shall proceed and snack whilst I write =D
Okaaaaay...let's start with the month of March...
The greatest shave was on and Treeboi Hiew decided to participate this year, so bf and I were invited to his new house for the viewing of the shave! He, along with a friend raised money together, $1500 or something like that for charity, so good on them! Anyway, after a bit of mingling amongst the guests the shave began and everyone went crazy with the photos...I even got a snap of Treeboi's new head...I'm sure I could use it for blackmailing somehow in the future =) Anyway, after that was done some of us headed to the Raffles hotel for drinks and a bit of food, which I didn't eat but had one of the nicest passion pina coladas ever. I really want to go back for half price pizzas and tapas one day mmmm!! Once that was over bf and me decided to have chilli mussels for supper and invited treeboi and chenelle too. We met at the all night pizza cafe then headed to concas only to find out they were closing so we went back to the ANPC and had chilli mussels there instead...by the time we had finished it was already around 3am...it brought back great staying-out-late-memories...gosh things have changed for all of us...I guess we're all just getting old now!
Next day was the chilli fest in freo! Entry fee was $15 pp, a bit of a rip but good chilli foods inside! We tried chilli mussels/squid/prawns...omg was mouth wateringly good, a chilli everything hotdog, tried some chilli salami things and the "Death sauce", which was a good name for it since it left a burning sensation in our mouths for 30 minutes and at one point made us feel dizzy and almost made us want to faint, not even icy poles or cold drinks would take away the burning...omg never again. But other than that it was a great festival...next year come join us!
The next weekend was Ting's birthday dinner at the Brisbane, which was quite a nice venue but superly packed inside. We waited quite a while for a table because it seemed like everyone was having a birthday there too haha. Ordered a salmon with salad, which was super good and picked off bf's steak yummo. Ting made us all buy Easter raffle tickets from Amber's school...doesn't seem like I won, since I didn't get a phonecall =( But anyway, after the Brissy we went to Dragon palace for karaoke...we stayed for maybe 1 or 2 minutes to see what it was like inside then left for Metros to meet up with the gang haha. Metros has....changed a lot! The music sucked and the people that night were mostly seedy, bad dancing indians!! I hadn't laughed out loud like that in a while, I just couldn't believe how bad it was, tsk tsk! Good to see everyone out and about though!
Next day was another FRU session. We didn't get enough players for indoor soccer so it was changed to badminton and at first only 3 of us turned up...it was so sad that we almost declared it a fail, but Jason turned up and saved us haha. We played a few fun matches, which ended with us inventing a new game called, "elbowball". You pretty much hold your raquet backwardish? so that the netting part is where your elbows are and you hit the shuttlecocks by flicking the raquets upwards..haha kind of hard to explain but you should view it for yourself one day! It's an awesome invention =D After another success story, Jason invited us over to his place for pasta and lemon lime bitters, which he cooked and made for us, yay! There was also dessert too, he played a very good host to us all, so thank you for the unexpected lunch =)
On Monday the next day (22/3) after work a great storm hit sleepy Perth. It started like any other storm, dark clouds formed there was thunder and lightning, a bit of rain at first then suddenly tiny bits of hail started to fall then giant golf sized ones!! We had to let Danny in because he was freaking out and then the rain got really heavy and wouldn't quite stop...it fell so hard that it didn't have time to soak into the ground so it flooded everything. We started to get rain inside our house so out came the buckets and mops. I thought the storm was quite bad where I was but after looking through facebook I realised that the rest of Perth was hit worse...it was so surreal. Pictures of dented cars and shattered windows popped up everywhere on facebook and the news. There were damages to trees and powerpoles everywhere, as well as mass flooding. It was even declared a "natural disaster" and Perth ended up on world news haha, we're so famous. But yeah, my little storm adventure was not exciting at all compared to everyone else's, I watched it all from the comfort of my own house with everything safe and sound...except for my internet which disappeared for a week =( But other than that I can say that "I survived the great storm of Perth" =P
Wednesday night the gang organised karaoke at none other than Utopia! The room we got was super small, but I guess it was pretty cosy hehe. Everyone but us had their dose of singing heeeheee and also bbt of course. Was a fun and random night =D
On the night of the 26th, my parents flew off on their one way holiday to Sydney to visit my brother. I got quite sad at the thought of being home alone, waking up alone and going to sleep alone and almost cried when they left...but I'm over that now haha...it's been really peaceful and cooking what I want to eat is awesome. Oh well...looking forward to their return...I don't want to clean up after my brother anymore =(
The next night was the annual lion dance dinner for the troupe members. This time we went to Japanese restaurant in the city...I forgot the name. The food was already ordered for us all and we got to sample their sushi, sashimi, miso soup, tempura, teriyaki chicken, beef (which was really good) and red bean icecream? Yop! The food wasn't too bad and the best part was that it was free! Thanks Chung wah haha! After dinner we went to the Chung wah hall for their presentations, speeches and initiation for new members....entertaining as always, especially the huge stacks-on! By the time that all finished it was already past midnight so we missed out on karaoke with the gang, sorry!!
On Sunday the next day was Eva's experiment at Murdoch uni. It was quite a long and agonising process where we had to recognise words and non-words after hearing a descriptive sentence of the word (i never want to hear "this is a neutral sentence" ever again!). There were 8 sets of I don't know how many sentences, but it got really draining after a while and I was so glad to get my freddo frog after it all. Haha, but hope we helped you out Eva! We got really hungry after the experiment so JAVE and me went to Myaree area for lunch...it was so packed everywhere except for spice express? It was horrible there haha and they ran out of food and gave us super sweet mee siam...yuck! Make me feel sick after that but the lousey lunch didn't stop me from getting excited for our next FRU event...bowling! Rach, gerri and Tim met up with us there and we formed our 2 teams...JATE against GREV. It was such a close game in the second round and I was so proud of my last minute come back...a spare followed by a strike wahoo! It was funfunfun for all I'm sure, whoop another success =D Oh! we also had bbt after the game, everyone seemed drained haha...can't wait for the next FRU day!
Haha, so that was the month of March, and here comes April (the events so far anyway...)
April fools day was marked by the arrival of the Lady GaGa concert at Burswood Dome! I was really hyped up for this one, I don't know why...maybe it was the thought of how bizarre I was expecting the show and the people there to be? When we got to the Dome, we were already met with weirdo costumes, a girl went with "caution" tape all over her body, super goth people, guys dressed as girls, coke cans in the hair and hair-made bows in the hair as well as plenty of sparkle and glitter...candy to my eyes hehe! Anyway, this time round we got seats in the grandstand so we were facing the stage =D The seats were awesome (thanks bebe) but really scary to get to, everything seemed so high and narrow. Once we were seated it was all good...the show was amazing! Gaga had so much energy and really got everyone jumping and the lighting effects were cool too =D Her costumes were really random and funny at times, i think you just had to be there to understand how amazing it was =P Yay for Gaga!
After Gaga it was Good Friday. The long Easter weekend had arrived and dorky finally got some rest from work (except saturday). I found that this Easter was alot more about chocolate and bunnies more than anything else, which got me thinking about the actual meaning of this event. Practising forgiveness, having hope and giving thanks for life. I understand that not everyone has this belief, but the good I see from Easter is that just like Christmas, people, friends and families share happiness together =)
And on Saturday night, thanks to ama, we had an Easter bbq gathering at her house. It was full of cheese fishball/sausages, frankfurt sausages, fishballs, chicken wings, juicy corn and battered seafood! We all ate quite a lot, but I guess not enough because there was still so much food! After supper we had an easter egg hunt lol. We found them all pretty fast haha...I'm pretty sure some of us cheated!! It was the Friends game again next...we played both the normal and 18+ games...both were good and for once there were more guys than girls...dorky must've been happy =P
On Easter Sunday, dorky and me headed to the city for a korean lunch! We tried a udon stew, which was sooooo yummy that I'm craving it now =D Afterlunch we went to Harbour town...dorky struggled all the way because of his sore sore leg, poor boy =( But we did buy a few things...winter is coming as well as scarves, jumpers, jackets, leggings =D comfy clothes are the best hehe.
On Easter Monday, dorky and me had lunch at HJ's lol...been craving fast food lately, which isn't good at all, but I can't help cravings! Then we went to Dome for a drink where I tried my new favourite tea...chamomile! It's supposed to make you feel more relaxed and calm, which it did and the taste wasn't strong either..not a bad tea to drink on a cold winter's night =P I shall have to stock up. After dome we watched clash of the titans in 3d! Reviews said it wasn't the best of films, but we still enjoyed it...i think i still like percy jackson better though hehe. Long weekend is now over, so I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Easter!
Yes, so that's it i think...up to date with events =D
I wanted to upload some pictures too, but I can't drag the photos to where I want them to be so I will have to make a photo entry one of these days...pictures are probably better than writing novel-long entries anyway!
Okaaaays until next time...take care everybody!!
