Horoscopes

October 9, 2009 at 3:47 pm (Uncategorized)

Do you believe in fairy tales??

Whoops  I mean do you believe in horoscopes?? Well I know I do.

Have you ever got the feeling that most of the time horoscopes are so accurate that they start to scare you? That got me thinking what will happen when there are a couple of people sharing the same birth date? Are they all having the same day as you do; no matter good or bad?

And how true are compatibility horoscopes?

Okay fine, I shall admit that I’m a sucker for horoscopes and sometimes I take them quite personally. And most of the time it is true… Or is it what we programmed our brains to think that it is true?

Sometimes I just hate horoscopes so much because it gave me false hopes and false expectations that I even swore never to read them ever again. But a few days later I find myself crawling back to the horoscopes page again. And now I’m branching into tarot cards, astrology and numerology!!! Gosh I’m a psycho freak!!

Even though it is so, I believe that horoscopes are there for a reason. It is there to give us hope even if it is false. It is there to give us faith that tomorrow will be a good day to look forward too. And most of all it just gives us some sort of comfort that we know what our future holds even if turns out to be bogus.

Pregnancy????

October 8, 2009 at 8:41 am (Uncategorized)

Well hello my beloved friends….

I’m gonna make this a really short post for a couple of reasons.
  1. I’m drained out of inspiration after writing my short story.
  2. I’ve got to go out in like half and hours time.
  3. I’m not even bloody ready and dressed and presentable.
  4. Too long a post will make you bored of me anyway BAH!!!
Okay wait, before your guys get all freaked out, I’m not Preggy…. I just learnt that my ex-classmate is going to get married next month. Under full disclosure and to avoid defamation, i shall keep names anonymous but then again me telling you it is my ex-classmate may already give you clues as to who I am referring too.

Anyway that’s beside the point. The point is that I can never imagine myself being pregnant at so young an age. Don’t get me wrong, I lurve babies. They are just miracles of life. But my having a kid now is a total no no!! Well i know it is very common nowadays but something’s just not right aye? There is still so much to do and see before you get older and settle down with kids and a family. Well you practically have your whole life to do that family stuff. But now, now we should embrace our twenties and shed off unwanted or uncalled for burdens. I don’t mean to sound nasty, traditional or ancient. But then again congratulations to my friend =). Pray the child be a healthy pretty baby yeah?

So, starying from that random ramble, my friends and me went for lunch and we started talking about the complexities of a girl, guy mind. We came up with heaps of stuff on how girls can multi-task therefore more capable of manipulation. Guys minds on the other hand are fully equiped with little individual boxes where every single information is stored away, isolated from the rest therefore they can’t remember all the little things like girls do. Coz girls are just so sensitive and emotional that they tend to relate everything to their emotions, thus remembering it all more vividly. Now my task is to get more perceptions and views from different types of people and then write it all down in a book. What ya guys think? Interesting read? Or drab and boring (already know) read??

Okay, look at the time!!!! I’ve got to run and run fast I should. Gosh what should I wear today??? Damn the rain, now I can’t wear my heels =( … What a bummer!!!! Boots??? Might get too hot.. Urghh okay closed toe heels it is.. Ok c ya guys.. Lurves!!
P.s see I told you it is short =)

Fishing!!!!

October 4, 2009 at 12:35 am (Uncategorized)

Hey there peeps…. Okay so I went fishing the other day.. more like a few days ago so which means I went fishing on Tuesday. I know perfectly nice weather right?? Drove all the way to Buxton trout and salmon farm which took us almost two hours. In case you were curious or want to go there yourselves I’ve hyperlinked the website to the word Buxton so go check it out. Random but anyway let me share my story with you…

I know you are probably curious right now and wondering if I can actually catch any fishies???? Well I shall prove you guys wrong!!!! Lemme show you my catches…… Below…………… TADA!!!!
6 TROUTS!!!!!
6 TROUTS!!!!!
1 uber huge Atlantic Salmon

Amazing??? I know!!!! =) And guess how heavy that atlantic salmon weighs????

Salmon weight and price

Pond the salmon last swam in

Fascinating??? I know…. Who knows I had this fishing talent in me. Almost gave me a moment of realization that I could be the best fisherwoman there is!!! But sadly, I also had the epiphany that I’m really bad at touchy stuff. I couldn’t even bear look at the fish when my aunt had to practically whack the head to kill it when its out of the water. It just really freaked me out and it just felt like i’ve killed someone. Well technically a fish is still a breathing thing and I felt so cannibal even though i didn’t touch the fish out of water…. GoshI felt like an animal. Even grotesque and gory movies don’t put me off but watching that poor fishy get whacked made me realize why I never gone fishing in the first place….. =(

Well, well, well, I guess you should know by now that I didn’t catch all of those fishies??? I caught one miserable one and even then I daren’t reel it in because it just kills me to see the fish flopping about and the hook getting stuck in it’s tongue… Blueck…. shivers just thinking about it!!! I got heaps of fake catches and when i reeled the line in, the bait is gone!!! To tell you the truth, I actually felt relieved when the fish got away and didn’t get caught…

Okay nowI shall reveal the genious that caught the 2.6kg Atlantic salmon……….. (in less than 5 minutes)

Ayiana (7) in the process of reeling it in

Too big and heavy to reel.. Resolved to using the net instead

Lots of flopping, gasping, struggling, screaming, ewwing, etc

Lots of flopping, gasping, struggling, screaming, ewwing, etc

On land at last, gasping its dying breath... Moment of silence

On land at last, gasping its dying breath... Moment of silence

The fish is huge!!!! And i was the one sent to get the mallet to whack it!!! I kept hoping and praying that it will just die without getting hit but sadly, fishes don’t die easy… If only you could let it go….. Why oh why am I so sensitive????? Anyway, more pictures???

Fish Pallets... Someone kicked it to the ground and seriuosly looks like poo

Finally, after paying 100 bucks for all the fishies, we had our bbq!!!! Sausages were awesome… Traditional and lamb sausages!!! Fishies were really bony, and I felt guilty eating them seeing as we caught them…. And so after a long morning of fishing and then smelling like fishes, we headed home!! What a trip indeed…. On the ride home guess what we saw???

SO SO full of WATER!!!!

SO SO full of WATER!!!!

Water is overflowing… Thanks to the never ending days of rain, there actually is water to be seen!!!! People were stopping to take pictures.. What a discovery eh?? It was seriously overflowing over the fences and gates…. Then i saw black trees too which reminded me of Black Saturday….

=(

=(

Salmon carcass

All that’s left of the Atlantic Salmon after it is gutted, cleaned and cut into fillets. See how long it actually is????

Anyway daylight saving starts tomorrow.. Remember to turn your clock an hour faster people!!! 23 hours a day…. And to think that 24 hours is not even enough….. Oh boy… One hour less of sleeppy time… booooo…. Thus, I think it is a sign that I should go to sleep now… Camberwell market and movie afternoon tomorrow…. Can’t wait..

Identity Crisis!!

September 20, 2009 at 2:12 pm (Uncategorized)

Hey friends of the virtual world!!!

Sorry for a moment of dry spell there. Had too many things on my mind that sadly i couldn’t funtion properly… Well it’s just one of those days.. Or should i say one of those ‘period of times’…

I was looking through my pictures for the fun of it and memories of my happiest days resurected in my mind again! Don’t you just love looking at old photos and try to put yourself into that exact day and feeling all over again?? It’s like relieving the past!! And sometimes when you feel like nothing is going right and everything in the world is ugly, one look at all those beautiful pictures will make you take one step back and say “Hang on, i remember this moment in time where the music is perfect and i feel loved. Loved by all the friends and family around me!”

Best Day EVER!!
Best Day EVER!!
My Precious!!
My Precious!!
This is definately a day to be relieved over and over again!!! Got squashed, pushed, suffocated, almost blacked out… but all worth it!!

Anyway i think i’m going to have an identity crisis…..

Part 1
It all started at a beach at Mornington where i was playing with my seven year old cousin at the rock pool. When all of a sudden i spotted a cute dog running through the beach coming my way. I was so eager to touch it’s soft whitish brown fur when all of a sudden the doggy changed direction and ran for the waters and started doggy paddling. Appearing on the doggy’s trail was obviously non other than the owner of the dog. She was strolling towards me and we started making conversation when my cousin shouted for me

“Bren Cheah i found a jelly fish. Come look!!” (Bren is a short form for Brenda and Cheah is a chinese term used for older sister)

Well pushing that thought aside, we continued talking, checked out the jellly fish and then suddenly she started calling my BRIDGET!! I didn’t respond for obvious reasons because it bloody well itsn’t my name right?? And well she was looking at me and for one moment there i was just in a state of shock. Things that were going through my mind were:
  • Is she actually calling me or is she calling out to someone behind me?
  • But she is looking directly at me
  • What sould i say? Pardon? Are you calling me? That’s not my name?
  • She is still looking directly at me plus my aunt and her mother in law is looking at me too
  • Did it slip that i actually told her my name was Bridget?
  • Everyone is staring at me
  • I don’t want to be rude and i can’t laugh either, how do i correct her?
Saved by the bell, my cousin told her my name is not Bridget but it is Brenda and she looked slightly embarassed.

Part 2
I attended a birthday party of my aunt’s friend’s two year old boy. I shook hands and greeted the mother and father of the boy and introduced myself ,

“Hi, I’m Brenda. Nice to meet you.”

Well getting over the nerves of the introductory settled, i then strolled into the dining area where i was given plates and told to help myself with food. As i was doing as told, i suddenly heard this

“Would you like some soup Bianca? Bianca? Would you like some soup?”

Thinking that someone new entered the room i whipped my head around to check out the newcomer only to find out that she was staring directly at me!!! I stood rigid, nailed to the floor as i looked back at her anticipating what should be said next. Thinking that i didn’t hear her, she called me again “Bianca…….” I stared at her not knowing how to respond (clearly i’m bad at handling these situations!!) “Bianca?????”

My aunt and uncle started laughing at me and then i walked up to her and said

“I’m Brenda. My name is Brenda.”

Then she apologized profusedly and well all was good. Until another woman came and almost called me Bianca when i hurriedly corrected her before another disaster happened. Well to be honest it is no big deal for getting names wrong, but seriously, i just hate being in the position where people will think i’m rude for not responsing and then i wouldn’t have a clue how to set things straight!! When will be my next wrong name encounter i wonder… Till then…Lurves..

Inglorious Bastards!!!!!

September 9, 2009 at 12:44 pm (Uncategorized)

One Word…. Sadistic

Unbelievably, emotionally, sadly funny!!!! I seriously feel like a sadist laughing at the cruelty of what is gong on in front of me… The Nazi symbol carving, the scalping of the scalp, the gun shooting scene in the pub…

Quentin Tarantino is such a brilliant risk taker. How many people would even have the guts to remake a World War 2 movie and actually turn it into a dark comedy? I mean seriously, the way he makes you sit there and laugh at such extreme cruelty which people will usually cringe or gasp is just mind boggling.

Really admire the brilliance in which he makes me question why am i laughing at something so violently gruesome and cruel and feel minimal sympathy for. Having watched so many World War two documentaries and movies before i’ve never once felt the ability to laugh until Inglorious Bastards. Really want to watch the movie again so that this time i can focus on stuff that i didn’t notice the first time round!!

Wanna watch ‘The good The bad and The ugly’ or should i say, Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo!!!! With Clint Eastwood in it.. Awesome!! Have to search for the movie though.

Been watching Blackadder on the Comedy channel. Rowan Atkinson is just so brilliant in there!!! Is that what made him famous?? I wonder.. It was way before Mr. Bean ani’t it??

Getting really frustrated with this internet connection… Can’t even have a proper chat on msn without it getting disconnected all the time!! Ok i’m sorry but i really couldn’t be bothered signing into it now!!

Watched Tuesday’s With Morrie after the long awaited search for the movie since high school. Not as good as the book obviously but still loved the movie though although it brought me to tears =(

Also watched Funny Face starring Audrey Hepburn. Just love all her movies.. Hmm what a weird genre of movies i’ve been watching!!

Got to go get some pictures from my friend later today and speaking of pictures i’ve yet to upload my Tasmania pictures onto Facebook. It has been put off for quite some time now.. Hmmm

Anyway let me just put some random photos up for you..

Don’t you just love the beach and be amazed at how the sound of waves can soothe you and drift you away from reality even if it is for a few minutes?? Wanna go to the beach =(

Okay i think this is too long a post..

Mmmmmm Yoghurt!!

September 8, 2009 at 2:58 pm (Uncategorized)

What a rainy cold day outside!! I want spring with pretty flowers and awesome weather!!

Just had yoghurt for lunch again. Have a weird addiction for yoghurt and when i start i just can’t stop eating it. Especially eating it with cornflakes!!!! =) Don’t understand why people look at me weird when they see me eating it.. It is so deliciously satisfying.

Was watching this show on television last night and they were talking  about an alcoholic gun or smtg on the lines of that. Well basically it is a huge gun looking thing which shoots out alcohol. Something like a spray gun. And they were talking how useful it is as all you have to do is squirt and stuff. Best part was when they started saying:

‘You can even do skulling on the move. Just wind down the window and shout SKULL SKULL SKULL!!!’ People in the opposite car can just open their mouths and get squirted with alcohol!

Gosh don’t know why but that just cracked me up. Starting to enjoy Blackadder more and more too esp since it is starring Rowan Atkinson. Why oh why do people find things oh so funny??

Anyway will be watching Inglorious Bastards at 6 with my comedy research mates. Have to watch it to analyze black humour and how cruelty and violence can actually result in laughter. Oh the uncomfortableness of it all. So far been getting quite good reviews of the show from my friends. So my expectations are quite high at the moment. Don’t wanna be disappointed!!

I just love stuff that cracks me up don’t you??

What a Teary Day

September 6, 2009 at 9:54 am (Uncategorized)

Hey friends of the virtual world..

How ya guys doing? Whatcha been up to over the weekend?? Fathers Day today!!

Weird how Fathers Day is celebrated in September in Australia while fathers day in other parts of the world is celebrated in July hmmmm.. Oh well…

Attended a close family friend’s funeral yesterday. Couldn’t stop tear ducts from producing tears. Heard some bawling and sniffling and choking (coughing). Well guess that’s what you would get at funerals eh? I for one am not good at holding back tears at all. Too sensitive and more often than not my mind tends to stray and think of weird stuff.. Why? I still don’t know!!

Been trying to do this thing where you look into space just as your tears are about to fall and you open your eyes as wide as possible and stare and stare till your eyes get dry. Thus, tears will not fall but simply evaporated. LOL ok gosh didn’t realise it sounded so weird till i typed it out and read it to myself. But yeah i bet some of you would have tried it at least once or twice eh? I tried it a couple of times and most of the time it works. But the other times well new tears are produced faster than the prior ones could evaporate thus overflowing and what do you get…..TADA TEARS!!!

Got so emotional last night especially when my cousins played the violin and cello one last time for her. Sad how i couldn’t go up there and play the piano along as we always do for her when she was alive. Being a professional pianist herself, she would have loved to have heard the sounds of a piano there but unfortunately there wasn’t a piano there for me to play. Couldn’t stop crying when they played the Forest Gump Feather Theme song. Just brought back so many many memories of us in the living room playing those tunes for her and now the realization just hit me that we no longer can play for her anymore. Always amazed at how music affects me and moves me all the time.
In future when my fingers touch the keys of my piano i would definately be thinking of her!!

Every end is a new begining
No looking back, no denying
Never be afraid of sleeping
Never be afraid of  waking
Never be afraid of crying
Never be afraid of laughing
Fret not memories would be forgotten
Safely in our hearts and minds it will stay,
Forever and always,
Our path in life ahead it would beautifully enlighten.
© Brenda

Off to swimming and then bowling. Exciting day ahead!!

Choices

September 1, 2009 at 3:23 pm (Uncategorized)

Hey living breathing souls of the world….

What choices have you made today??

Should I wear this or that? What should I eat? What time bus to take? Which way do I walk so I don’t miss the train?

Options options and more options to choose and make. Thoughts running through your mind all the while. What if i chose the wrong one? What if…. what if…. Oh what a tosser!!

Why is it always that i can’t seem to make up my mind? Probably i think too much. Stray too deep into thought that i have the tendency to over think things that are usually not worth that much thinking after all!!

Friends are moving on, traveling the world, sitting in offices, all having found their purpose ’supposedly’. But seriously and honestly who really does find their purpose in life? Why will we be in university if not for the money? Who would not rather chase their unrealistic dream and keep telling themselves over and over again:

‘Hey it’s okay. It’s okay because you are chasing your dream and living out your hearts desire. What could be worse than that? Who’s gonna stop you now? It’s yours!’

People keep snapping me out of my reverie when i tell them i believe in folklore’s, fairy tale creatures, myths, witchcraft and the impossible. The impossible that might actually just come true if you believe it enough!! Bloody hell did i get a hard slap on the face when my idea bubble got pricked and contradicted!!

Well does it hurt so bad to just have some faith in yourself and believe that whatever you deem impossible could be possible even if other people around you don’t see it??

How can there be so many evil doings and sad days all around the world and you still get to see pure things like these and not believe / have faith?;

A picture of perfection

A picture of perfection

Picture taken by me while in a moving vehicle. A snap of beautiful luck!!

A Full Rainbow

A Full Rainbow

Never before have i seen such a full, complete rainbow like that before positioned above the meadows.. Picture also taken by me in the car  =)

Dreams versus reality.. Who will eventualy win I wonder???

I secretly have the faith that dreams will eventually win =)

Something Random

August 31, 2009 at 12:03 pm (Uncategorized)

Was assembling lasagna for dinner earlier on and my lil cousin of seven helped me arrange the sheets… Conversation as follows:

Her: How do you spell ‘Lasagna’?
Me: Here (shows her box of lasagna sheets with huge word printed on it)
Her: L.A.S.A.G.N.A Oh okay (repeates it a couple of times to herself)
Me: It’s not spelt the way it is pronounced because it is a Greek word (I explaned coz she was trying to figure it out)
Her: OOOHHHHH So it’s just like Spaghetti right? It ends with an ‘I’ thats why it is not an English word.
Me: Yup (Curious about new found discovery)

Okay anyway I went online and  curious as I always am, I went and looked up words that end with the letter ‘I’ and BAM a whole list of like a million words came up.

Strange thing is, those words are not exactly of the English origins are they? Like Gnocci, Cincinnati, emboli, carbonari, bonsai, etc (its like a never ending list). All those words are foreign in one way or another.
And I started to wonder if all English words end with vowels. And if it does it is a foreign, transmutated word after all.

Well anyway Latin, Greek and French are what made English words exist anyway so yeah actually not so surprised after all.. LOL

SO so doomed…. supposed to be coming up with ideas for an article and i have one but still sorta stuck.. HELP!!! or should i say PLEH?? (Joey from Friends spelling Help backwards so ppl from the helicopter can read it)

PLEH!!!

Please tell me why people laugh and why some people don’t?? Is it because they have diff experiences and memories of that joke????
Pictures for fun.. Really random post EH? First picture…..

Cutie!!!! (So not vicious.... At least to me)

What makes it worth it?

August 31, 2009 at 9:28 am (Uncategorized)

Hey guys, how have all of you been?? Pretty busy?? Bored?? Restless?? Lucky??

Anyway why can’t things always just work out the way you want them too? Like the other night at a friends’s surprise party. He was supposed to be home at twelve from a dinner with some other friends while we trashed his room, put up strings across the room and clip them with photos, stuff newspaper under his quilt n finally when he is back throw water balloons at him as well as other things which i prefer not to mention.

Sounds like a perfectly planned simple surprise party? Well think again!!

Firstly, we forgot to get toilet paper to toilet paper his room resulting on using newspapers which seriously didn’t really make that much of an effect.

Secondly, the strings holding the pictures kept falling off the wall due to the useless bluetag (which unfortunately belonged to the birthday boy and which we finished using accidentally) sending pictures crashing to the floor.
Reckon pictures and the clothes spin were too heavy for the effing strings!!! URGH!! As a result the strings had to be tied to the bed and cupboard handles.

Thirdly, his supposedly TWELVE pm return was delayed to TWO am. So we waited in silence as so our voices won’t give us away in case he is right outside and we failed to hear him come home.

Fourthly…. STARVING!!

Life doesn’t always go as plan does it now? Nah i don’t think so. If it did then life would be such a complete and utter bore ain’t it? Unpredictability is the key to all surprises, adventures and mysteries in life. Where would be be without all of them?? Well it is for me to know and for you to find out!!

Despite all the waiting and things going wrong, we all still had heaps of fun and laughed like there was no tomorrow!! Happy smiles and priceless memories from that night is what makes it all worthwhile after all. Knowing that there are no recreations even if we belief with all our soul.

Wanna put up pictures from that night, but guess what? Not gonna happen as planned…. as usual!!

Friends not online, pictures are with him, it’s not uploaded, have to wait!! Bummer..

Oh well, promise it will be up in the next post.. Lurves
