    my mum and my piercing

    Ok those 2 don't really go together but whatever.
    Been awhile since my last entry...kinda forgetting this thing is here?
    My mum is here...yay :)

    Went out and had 'pancakes on Broadway' and coffee with her. Yummy...with the pics to show. What else...got myself a laser printer. Just went and got it without doing much research and knowing nuts about it. But yeah...just comparing prices in a few places and stuff. Oh and carrying it back by bus...big nono...

    Got my 2nd piercing...for the industrial that is. The last one was like 'yeah it hurt' and this one is like 'yes it reallllly did hurt'. Apparently this part's thicker and I have more cartilage and nerves there. Oh well...I'm still alive ain't I? Doesn't hurt at all after...like now. All's good...can't wait to get the bar in. That'll be a month or so later. It looks abit weird now...just a bunch of barbells hanging around. Nevermind...it's the end result that matters.

    That's all folks.

    My yesterday in a nutshell

    Worked in the day. One of those days where you're bored to bits at times then suddenly a hoard of people decide they wanna have japanese food. Yeah...like that. Funny thing is the other branch across the foodcourt was short staffed so i was sent there to help, and once I'm gone our side gets busy. So there I am running back and forth in my apron and head scarf! oih...
     
    Then CL and I did the Fiesta. Walked around abit...checked out the 2 stages...Sat and chatted while I had fatty GloriaJean's chocolate drink (cuz I'd already had coffee at work and I'm trying to cut down...nooo...i don't want an addiction! yeah...good alternative...duh)....walked round somemore...watched crazy rocker people jumping around and getting real high on their little stage...more happy people dancing around in the rain...yes, it rained. How sucky is that? hmmm...wonder how many times we went round? Then...to top it all of we had dodgy $4 pizza. Yup...we did the Fiesta. Oh...almost forgot the weird blue makeshift toilets.
     
    The clubs weren't so cool I think...too too crowded man. And I think...hazy bout the details, that someone got run over by a drunk driver just outside the Beat. Oooh...scary shit. Police, ambulance, cuffed and arrested bald guy with face on the ground...

    This is me blabbing bout the great time i had at the theatre:

    Yes...Jen, Claire and I went to the theatre, darling... ok I'll drop the fake British accent.
    But yeah, it was fun...hung out with them from 3.30 until it started at 7.30. The end of the hell week was finally here...ain't we all relieved to bits. Strolled the Goodwill Bridge, had coffee at SouthBank. Yeah...nice and breezy, gonna be taking my mum there soon :) miss ya mum! Er...yeah. And had dinner at Toscani's. Pizza and nachos.  
     
    And the show: The Blonde, The Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead. A one woman play by Jacki Weaver held at the Cremorne Theatre Qpac. She could change characters just like that. And so convincing too. She played a 4 year old boy and you almost thought she was one. Story was abit sad...but interesting. How everyone sees things differently, and things are not always as they seem. And all the different perspectives and characters portrayed by the same woman! One word: Awesome!
     
    Working 2moro...argh...but going to the Valleyfiesta after so that's gotta be fun. Even if I don't exactly know the bands. hehe...
     
    Unidentifiable people with no blog address or whatever leaving odd comments on my blog. Not cool. Please stop.

    WEEK 9

    Yay!!! It's week 9! Finally it's here!

    Just handed in my Torts Research Assignment. Man...that thing seems to have sucked the life out of me. Tomorrow's the group research thingy and Wednesday the Client letter....and then...Free as bird! woohoo!

    Ok...not exactly. Before you know it it'll be week 13..SWOTVAC...exams...yeah..I'll try to forget that thought for a moment. Ooh...look on the bright side: the end of my 1st year in law school!

    After week 10 is the "mid-sem" break. How bad can your maths get? A break after week 10 out of 13 is mid-sem? Well...anyway, much needed break. Too bad I'll probably be working most of the time? Doing almost to the limit this week: 19.5 hours. I've started at this new branch in Garden City which serves nicer food...and I got to fry stuff in a big wok with a big fire. Hehe...I think that's kinda cool.

    P.s. Jess you can video cam me when I get the next piercing...haha...

    Woohoo...industrial here I come

    I'm here to blab about my first real piercing. The tragus piercing (yeah I've just learnt that's what it's called) doesn't really count cuz it was done with a gun. Anyway...1st step to my industrial...yeah!
    i know...it's like a cowardly way to get it...do 1...do another...let them get better 1st. But I have an excuse...my ear shape isn't really ideal for it, or so my piercer says.
    Come to think of it...not much to say. Was over in less than 5 minutes. She marked it with a pen...checked in mirror...looked good...lie down...ouch for awhile...then all done. Oh yeah...and it felt exactly like going to the dentist, with the tattoo gun humming in the background and the bright white lights. The only difference is that the 'doctor' has got a ring thru her nose. I guess things always seem worse when you think too much about it, don't you agree?
     
    And now it's got dark dried blood around it which looks yucky. But other than that it's good.

    Riverfire 06

    Went to SouthBank for the riverfestival thingy called riverfire with my 2 homies. 2 pretty dolled up gals in nice shoes and an odd person in a fedora. haha... and no, you'll never catch me wearing heels like that.
     
    Anyway, was really really crowded. Got kinda hungry before it began and regretted not having somemore food before. Those ppl thr having a picnic didn't help either. Thought of getting a coffee...but gave up after seeing the long line. Glad I wasn't one of those people working at the food court. Hmmm...the job makes me appreciate fast food more.
     
    The fireworks: Awesome! I can't describe it in words of course, you'd have to see it for yourself. The pictures suck as well. The 'dump and burn' was cool too. Yeah...was all good. With a soundtrack to match too. Enjoyed it lots.
     
    Enjoyed dinner as well. Was damn hungry by then. Had 'indian cuisine' in a place called Sitar in WestEnd. Yeah...'indian cuisine'...hehe... and they dont even have roti...just that naan stuff. If they had thosai I'd have ordered that in a heartbeat. I miss it.... We had naan, some rice and beef vindaloo. Not the taste I'm acustomed to in kk, but was still nice. If they charged that kind of price for that tiny bowl in kk they'd go bankrupt just like that. But we're not in kk are we...

    need or want?

    Ok...I think I've got this obsessive compulsive disorder that when I want something I really really have to get it if not I'll be obsessing (duh) about it until I get it. Sometimes I'm really glad when I get the whatever it is but sometimes I'm like "hmm...ok now I've got it...so...". Yeah...kinda like an idiot huh. On the bright side...getting it gets it out of the way (in my mind) so that's good rite? Well yeah, now there's the fedora, which I've got now. Now THAT I still really really like. I think it's the coolest thing ever, and I don't even know why. Oh hey...maybe cuz the dancers in Christina Aguilera's video wears them? whatever. And then now there's the indutrial...so we'll see how that goes. And and and....I think there have been loads and loads of examples where that's happened to me...I'll spare you the details.
     
    Oh and I also have this thing where I constantly analyse myself like this, like I'm my own shrink or something. Saves me seeing a real one right? Man...am I a weirdo. (Ok...feel free to object now...)

    I'm SOOOO freaking happy man! I've got lots of lovely lovely assignments! JOY

    Today was the hardest I've ever worked in my life! Worked a 9 hour shift, with an hour break in between...sooooo bz, no time even to drink water man...phew....glad im home now in my jammies....
     
    but then..bloody "good news" in my email...now I find out 300 words in my assignment is gonna go down the damn drain...DAMN IT......Yes, I bet quite a number of my coursemates r cursing with me...yay...we curse together...
     
    During my break went and asked bout getting an industrial...spend $100 and get the lesser risk of an infection or spend $70 and get a higher risk of infection? It's complicated...sort of -1 bar or 2. Well I'd rather have no risk but that's life rite...think think...ponder ponder... but i just have to get it.
