i don't know if any of you remember the entry about the crazy bizatch who kept calling mum's phone wanting to speak to mary.

anyway that mystery is solved. i got a call from blockbuster video the other day asking for her because she owes money and videos (naughty mary). and i said "what exactly is the number she gave you?" and it's basically a combination of my number and mum's number (which are really similar).

which means none of these people can read very well.

but now what i really want to know is...

WHO IS MARY?

this is pretty funny!

guess who is crawling back to singapore! mooo .. that would be me. why is this happening? especially because i was so adamant about never going back ?!?! well i sent out some job applications and nobody really got back to me (damn those *bleep*s in sydney). but the guy i worked for in singapore before said "just come back here!" so i will. for 88 days. because if i stay more than 90 i would be an overstayer! and i would get a red mark in my passport. and also because i'm hoping to be preparing for sydney by then.

so wish me luck with uni applications in april. i want to be with zoot !!

ho hum ho hum ..

today we were meant to leave the house at 8.30 to go to rottnest for a day of snorkeling and cycling (although i'd probably end up pushing the bike 75% of the way) and lazing around on the beach. but alas! the gods were not smiling upon us, and the one day we choose to go on our merry adventure is the one day in summer in thunderstorms. not even a "showers clearing in the afternoon" but a full on thunderstorm complete with power surges and flickering lights.

how sad!

in other news, da has put up pictures of dad's birthday on her blog. look at how thrilled he is with his presents! especially because they were wrapped in newspaper!

update: it was a scorcher this afternoon after this morning's thunderstorm. worst. day. ever.

oh and also, happy birthday dadoo!!

anyway this card is kind of a loo family inside-joke because dad reckons everything can be solved with newspaper.

e.g.
1. "dad, the trundle we bought is too tall for my bed"
"just wrap some bricks or pavers in newspaper to prop the legs up. should be fine"

2. "dad, so-and-so wants to borrow our satay grill but it's a bit grotty"
"just wrap it up in newspapers then it won't dirty their car"
(um....but maybe we should have washed it after we used it the last time)

you get the idea.

咚咚咚呛!!* happy chinese new year everybody!

today i went for a fitball class, encouraged from the sidelines by my awntie who swears it helps to build core muscle strength etcetc. well whatever. half the time i was rolling off the ball, and when it came to the weights bit i realized i'd taken weights that were too heavy for me. and the fat old women had the nice light 1kg weights.

so i was laughed at by old women.

and now i am in a world of pain.

an unfit-ball

i am to exercise what a tang yuan is to a fitball.

oh look! le blog is semi-fixed. now for it to be fully fixed.

hello loyal readers (you'd have to be loyal to still come back here after such a long absence),
i'm looking for the font "magneto bold". it's a proper one that you have to pay for - AUD$54 in fact - and before i part with that, i figure i'd ask around if anybody has it?

save a girlie $54 and stress and send her the font! please!

also, does anyone know if this is illegal? can you pirate a font like a dvd or music?

also, hopefully the colours will all be fixed by tonight.

update: ok so the colours aren't fixed because SOMEBODY forgot (wasn't me, i was at work). however i have the magneto font now, thanks to lance peter winky john who is a lovely person.

i decided this blog needs a mini-makeover. all i really want to do is change background colours etc but that doesn't quite seem to be working out. and now the blog is emo-black. i assure you this is not my intended effect.

if anyone can help fix this, i'd be most grateful. but it's kinda late now so i'm going to bed. goodnight y'all!

it's way less depressing "visiting" my dead grandfather (at the columbarium), than it is to visit my living grandfather at the hospice.

but i don't think this is an irony that anyone would put to a tune.

but don't say i didn't warn you, and you have lance peter winky john to blame for that.

i'm not entirely sure how yvonne turned into bevonce (pronounced bee-von-say). i think it's because derel started calling her bevonne (pronounced bee-vonnay), and then khai said "i think bevonce sounds better". so anyway henceforth, she is known as bevonce. yes yes, because you are "bootylicious"! if that makes you happy.

wanyhoo, i present the results of last night's photoshopjob.

i know i knooooow the face position is a little bit wonky. given some practice though, i will morph the two perfectly. till then, ドゾ!!

update: did some minor tweakings on the previous image. you can see the difference if you compare both photos! now the under-chin-shadow that could be mistaken for multiple-chins-melted-into-one-chinny-mess is reduced! happy bevonce? i think this result is much improved.

oh portfolio, please pull yourself together ...
so as to save me the hassle of putting you together myself.

and true to my procrastinatey self, i was perving at plastiquemonkey's website and she posted this reeeeeeally funky video up. because i don't know how many of you will actually bother clicking on that link to read what she wrote about it, so i will share it with you now! minilogue/hitchhikers choice - nicked from yuka yamaguchi, nicked from youtube. enjoy!

how mesmerizing is this video?! if i ate that many marshmallow i'd either vomit or suffocate.

i cut my hair and washed my car! all in one day! and i might have a job, but we'll see about that. isn't this fantastic? i think it is. i think i've done more in one day than i have all week. wow i am really unproductive.

do you like lame puns? and vegetables dressed as other things?? then you will like this video! courtesy of kah how.
