ack! no internet !! girlie is dyinnnnnnnnnng *cries* this is from a sleazy net cafe in sleazy far east square.

things i'm telling you b'coz i'm too lazy to sms you all:

1. da >> that place that sells those shoes is now gone. noelle said she'll help me find out if it's moved or just closed down forever. however, i have bought your b'day/christmas present! huzzah.

2. lynne >> your present is in a box in my room =p you will never find it *bwahahahaha*

3. stoo >> im still looking for that watch of yours.

4. ampulets >> you've got mail!!

5. mun >> you are not the only gay in this village. i have seen several more. and it's a much worse than anything you could ever pull off.

6. lindagurl >> you are not the only piggie in s.e. asia .. unfortunately =((

anyhoo i'm off now. more shopping to be done!

and singapore tomorrow! gootbye perth and all your flies, hello singapore and all your grumpy people who don't know how to smile at passers-by.

because we loos never do things by halves, parents went out to buy the most amazing thing ever in the whole wide world, so we can pack all fragile items away in the safest funnest way possible. and so, ladies and gentlebugs, i present to you ..

BUBBLE WRAP !!!



yes folks, standing at more than 1m tall, is the purest roll of bubble-wrap you've ever seen. squillions of little magical pockets filled with air just waiting to burst out of their plasticky skins and dance in the atmosphere with you! o happy bubble-wrap.

it's taking a great deal of self-restraint not to run up to that thing and squeeze the hell out of it. well .. self-restraint brought on by warnings along the lines of "don't you DARE pop that i'm telling you .." in that ominous voice that only your mother can achieve.

if there's any left after the move, i'll try convincing the parentals to let us host a bubble-wrap party.

oh. and some random thing that i've always meant to post but never got round to.

during a deep and meaningful with cousin stoo, this question arose:

why is it that if a fat/ugly/stinky/gross-in-some-other-way person plasters pics of themselves all over the internet/on their blog, and declare themselves hot/photogenic/beautiful etc, nobody really says anything. but if someone comes along and says "dude, face it. you have a bung eye, terrible skin, and really shouldn't have eaten that last cream puff", people from the far reaches of the planet suddenly appear and say "leave them alone! they ain't never done nuffin or noone!"

so it's ok to live in a world of complete bullshit and denial, but not ok to state the glaringly obvious? how bizarre.

so updates are non-existant now, partially due to the fact that our net connection's been bodgy 'til about half an hour ago.

exciting things that have happened in the past week or so:

1. family has decided to move. the new house is about 3 minutes away from our current one, but it's a bit newer and it's got a pool. and anyway, someone really wants to rent the one we have now. so we're moving.

2. a box of chocolates with a note attached to it was left outside our house. if the note hadn't gone awol i'd have scanned it in for you, but since i can't locate it, i've tried to recreate it for you as best i can.



the childish scrawl, misspelt words and rainbow with a faked up colour led us to believe it was mahesh's son thanking us for letting him call his mum and hang out at our place when he got locked out. but the addition at the bottom gave the game away! it was crazy lady! she of the 2am hysteria the night before folio was due!

mum astutely pointed out also that she'd gotten the dates wrong and thanked us for helping her on a day that hasn't even arrived yet. this kind of creeps her out because she doesn't want to be calling the police AGAIN on the 28th of november.

no, the chocolates weren't tampered with in anyway. but no, we did not eat them. parents gave them away to someone else's children instead =P

where were you on the morning of november the floobeth, at half past the freckle on your wrist, in a clockwise direction? really? how quaint. because at that very moment, there was a mad shuffle going on in sneakytown, perth, western australia.



and then, by diabolic ascent ...



shinobis struck again! the hives hags immortalized (y)our new favourite band in paint-on-brick!

[cue dramatic music]

and in really-not-secret-at-all footage, the entire (minus one) expanded team of ne'er do wells gives a big cheesy grin for a job well done

post-script: all photos taken will be uploaded to flickr ... soonish. when it's not so early in the morning.

after making this nifty little banner thing i really wasn't in the mood to write about why i was angry. mostly 'coz i'm not angry anymore .. old italian men can go and suck other old italian men's balls.

"it's so hard being the only gay in the village", said daffyd thomas

yes yes .. you can put that disgusted/incredulous face on now ..

pics of the hives slightly delayed since photos from debbie have not arrived. c'est terrible. ah well. there are other things to amuse girlies. we have several holiday projects lined up this time round .. mostly t-shirt stuff actually. but as these things take time, just keep watching this space and results will be posted. oh yes.
