Happy Easter!

Am so looking forward to a chocolate-filled Easter weekend! W00ts!!!

I managed to get Seng Kheng to buy me this massive chocolate Easter egg!

I measured and it's about 24cm high! AWESOMOUS!

It was a wee bit pricey so SK told me not to eat it. Me thinks he wants me to vacuum pack it so it'll last forever.

It does have an expiry date though; sometime this June!
If I vacuum pack it, will it be safe to eat after the expiry date??

Oooo but I don't know whether I can actually wait.. I feel like eating it already!
Narf narf narf!!!
Let hope I don't overdose on chocolate. But then again, is there such thing as too much chocolate? HO HO HO HO HO!!

Have a safe, fun and totally awesomous Easter everyone!

Old men and food

So I was walking along, enjoying the sounds pumping from my mp3 player when I spotted this old man with a receeding hairline and white hair, outside of his barber shop.

He was looking up at a threatening gray sky but as I approached him, he noticed me.
He bid me good day with a slow smile. "Come, come," he mumbled as he beckoned me to follow him.

Puzzled, I stopped and watched him enter his barber shop and fumbled for something on a desk near the door. At one point, I was beginning to worry. Was he going to stab me? (There have been recent three cases of stabbing going on in Adelaide, so you should forgive me for thinking that.)

With a big smile, he pulled out a massive bundle of what looked like baby apricots?!!



Eh? (O__o)


I was horrified as he shoved them to me, "Take, take!"

"No, I can't that's too much!" I said, thinking about how I was going to go shopping with all these fruit in my hands. There wasn't even a bag!

He nodded and started peeling away the branches and leaves, "Take, take."


-___________-

So I thanked him and went my way, trying not to drop any from my two hands.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what they are (or if they are edible for that matter) or how I was going shopping.

So I threw them away in the end.
I don't mean to be disrespectful but I had to go shopping and carrying some books back home. There was just no way I could do that with them fruits in me hands.



I just wonder why I encounter such things?
Probably a year ago, this old man handed me a pumpkin.
It ended up in my tummy :)

Perhaps I look starved?

I can smell danger

There was this poster sale in my uni.


I'm talking about HUGE posters. They were posted all over outside the caf, some onto cardboards then latched onto walls.





Anyway, it was unbelievably windy today.
As I was walking with Khoa towards the caf, I noticed two posters which had been pasted on thick box-type cardboards and taped onto a lamp post. The wind blew and one of the posters started moving and was lifted off the ground but still clung onto the lamp post.


I went, "Whoa, I hope it doesn't break off and kill someone."

The moment I said that, it broke off and everyone stared in horror as it flew right towards this group of students who were sitting not too far away.


We held our breaths when it slammed right onto another lamp post, just narrowly missing this girl's head.

It was so loud because it smacked the lamp post with great force . . . man. . I can still hear it in my head!





Khoa just stared at me with his jaw open wide.



The whole day he was going, "Lish can predict bad things. She said that the poster was gonna fly and it flew!! I'm gonna stick with her now. I may be able to cheat death," and "Hey, Lish, do you sense any dangers?"
I'd go, "Yes, keep your eyes on that sign board. It's out to get us."

BUAHAHAA! I crack myself up! *dabs a tear away*





I don't claim to have any danger senses. I'm not spiderman. Or spiderpig.

Anyho.


The only other time I had such a reaction was back in my secondary years.
We had our math papers back and everyone was going around the class comparing marks, because you know, we're Asians.

Anyway, I had this sudden looming feeling of impending doom so I turned to Sharon and went, "Something bad's going to happen."

THEN the lights went off due to a power failure.
I think Sharon freaked out a little because she went, "Omigawd! Omigawd! Omigawd!!"
If that's not freaking out, then I'm not sure what to call it.


Okay, in both cases, it wasn't the end of the world or anything.
Yeah, well, you'd better be glad that they weren't. *shakes fist at your ungrateful face*


Now that I think of it, it's probably a good thing that I can't really predict misfortunes.
I'd either have no friends or have crazy people as friends.
If you're crazy, you attract crazy people, it's that simple.


But then, if I had such a power, I could probably harness it one way or another and rule the world . . .

OR

Be part of awesomous HEROES :D
yes, 'awesomous' is not a word and no i will not correct it. Say it! It's catchy!!

The Goth that got away

It was Sunday and the buses didn't come very often but still I waited for one in order to head to uni.
Yes, uni on a Sunday. It was for some discussion prior to an exam. Am not a nerd!!!

As one arrived, I eagerly hopped on to escape the cold. There wasn't anyone in the bus except for a man asleep in the back.
I picked out a seat nearest to the back door.

The driver got out for a ciggy break and so we had to wait.
As I flipped through my notes, I realized that someone was behind me. It was that man. He had moved from the back to the seat directly behind me.

I felt uneasy and sat onto the edge of my seat, not wanting to be near him.

After the bus driver got in and picked up a huge group of skater boys. I sat back into my seat cause I figured he wouldn't dare do anything with so many people watching.

Not too long after I felt something on my waist. I turned and found fingers with chipped black nail polish trying to ease their way between my bag and I.
I immediately freaked out and jumped away.

I don't know what he was trying to do but I figure he was most likely after my bag.
Although it's a sling bag and he would have never been able to get anything.
The idiot.


I should have screamed. I know.
I was just too freaked out too.

He had leaned right onto the back of my seat and slid his hand between the side of the bus and the seat. So when I turned, I catch a glimpse of his face. He had dirty blonde hair, dressed in all black and drew a scar over his pale forehead. I couldn't see his eyes. I'm not sure if he had closed them or I must have panicked a little too much to catch everything.

As I sat, I was fuming with anger and yet I was dead scared. I checked if everything was there and thankfully, nothing was missing.


I was afraid that he would follow me when I got off the bus or something.
I feared that if I caused a commotion, he would beat the crap out of me the next time he saw me. After all.. Adelaide is really, really small.


As the bus got near to my stop, I got out of my seat and stood close to the skater boys.
He didn't follow me.
I couldn't do anything but glare at him as I got down from the bus.
ARGH! I was so pissed and now thinking about it, I'm still pissed!!! >.<

If only I had said something.. I wish I did.
I should have made a scene.

Who knows. . . the next victim might not be so lucky. .

Mission Complete

As we stood outside Adelaide's magistrates court,
the building loomed over us like a towering giant.

We were there on a mission.

^Very important mission papers.

The security was tight. We had to pass through a metal detector and have our bags check.
Just in case we turned out to be armed and dangerous.
Le gasp.

Don't those men look very important with their red folders?

Of course, they don't look very professional cause they're looking upwards ... obviously they don't know what floor they're supposed to go to.

We waited patiently for our turn and when the lady before us stepped out of the Justice of Peace room, we walked in.

The lady at the desk had her head down and was busy scribbling away.

There was an awkward moment of silence before Soo Hui knocked on the door. Even though we were already inside, she said, "come in," without even lifting her head up to acknowledge our presence.

No one said a word while she finished up. The atmosphere was quite tense.
Then she finally looked at us and took the papers from Soo Hui.

She started yapping away without ever using a full stop. "BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHHHH do you declare that everything written here is true..blah blah blah blah...say 'I declare'."

Soo Hui nodded her head.

She looked at her straight in the eye and in a stern voice repeated herself slowly, "Do you declare that everything written here is true? If so, say 'I declare'."

O___O

Yikes.

After Soo Hui declared that it was true, she turned to me and actually smiled, "we can't just have you nod and go 'hmm-mm'." she explained.

I forced a smile out and just nodded my head and went 'Hmm-mm!'

-___-

What a relief when the whole ordeal was over.

And all this.. just to get a garbage bin.

Because someone had stolen ours. *shakes angry fist*

In other news, we have a wireless modem now!
YAY~! *prances*


And I finally found the right bulb for my lamp!!
YAY~! *prances some more*

Suicidal?

Feeling suicidal?
Then I'll recommend this.. it beats any method of suicide :)























Someone sent me this picture ages ago and I finally found it again!
