Bits of scrap

2010-04-12T23:38:00.007+10:00

SO! I've finally quit my old job... for a few reasons

1. higher powers are abusing their power (mwuahahha)
2. no ATA awards
3. boredom
4. i wanted to be the one to start the chain of all the other quitages
5. boredom
6. the shifts are getting painfully longer by the day
7. dont get as much free food anymore gg
8. I GOT A BETTER JOB !

Finishing this week and I dont think I ever want to know any more about superannuation again! yayyyy

And instead of calling angry ppl who hate being disturbed during 'tea', I'll be working with middle-aged pre-menopausal women (yea i know, so stereotypical) who are angry at little kids trying to get onto the roads before they learn how to walk... not so yayyy

BUT having said that, the pay rate is 25% higher and its 10 weeks full time training... SUPER YAYYYY

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm gonna work as CSR at QLD Government Dept of TMR (stands for transport and main roads) and Ill handle anything from ppl paying speeding/parking fines to liaising with Australian Customs over interstate/international cases.... with full power to turn down learners licenses to those lil n00bs >:D YESSSS

But while i am happy to leave my old job...there were a few lil joys that are just weridly worth mentioning

We find amusements in many sad ways...

I discover parts of Australia...

The posters behind the toilet doors at work ask rhetorical questions...

Enough about work....
Dad, being the awesome cook he is.... made crab for us the other night and went to yuens to buy some noodles as the base of the dish...

In classic dodgy asian style, you can now insert the use-by date! wahahah

Amidst my late night online internet clothing browsing, I came across a shirt that made me think if Engrish could get any worse... or maybe the designer really meant what was said....

CRAPS OVER WIN!

And one last tribute to my family friends' friends' new lil bub... CHUB OVERBOARD

That must be some uber breast milk LUL

Outties for now~

2010 so far

2010-02-12T12:28:00.001+10:00

Its that time of the year again:

> Sunday school has restarted.
> Done an INSANE amount of cleaning but it just never seems to end.

But some things are different:

> Found some physics workbooks and chemistry balancing equations in my filing cabinet the other day and i was DISGUSTED
> Can't wait till winter so i can wear all my fobby clothes i got from HK. Summer sucks.
> I feel old. Turning 23 is depressing.
____________________________________

And of course, there is no better way to illustrate all the ins and outs of my life except to recall some happy/crazy/eccentric happenings:

Von: man.... i feel so old talking about my little cousins like this...
Mum: yea... just make sure you don't LOOK old
Heidi: oh mother...always the diplomat

Doing some heavy lifting of water fountain statues in the garden (Heidi and I were secretly wishing Atan would randomly turn up at our house)

Heidi: nah...put the lady there...more to the left
Mum: who? there's no lady here
Heidi: i mean the fountain thingy....
Mum: oh thats an angel ^^
Heidi: really? doenst have wings...definitely a lady
Von: hmm oh wait! doenst have boobs... its a guy

Von: OOOOOOO
Heidi: Dont even think about it
*gradually proceeding to cashier*
Von: But but but....im not donnnnne im NEVERRRRR donee!!!! Let's go back!!!!
Heidi: I'm hungry you fool

Driving Ed to and from work is insanely entertaining:

*car stops suddenly*
Ed: Whats wrong with you!!!!

*approaching yellow light*
Ed: GO GO GO!!!!
Von: WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

*hillstarts and the guy driving the prelude in the next lane*

Redefining 'weird'

2009-11-25T21:12:00.003+10:00

You sure do get interestingly random conversations while working on teleservicing...

Man: Hello?
Me: Hi, I was wanting to speak to ______
Man: oh thats me
Me: cool. I'm Yvonne calling from your superannuation fund, ______
Man: oh you're not pizza? why arent you my pizza?
Me: I'm sorry sir, no I am not ur pizza
Man: Well im actually in the middle of a bushfire operation and i just ordered pizza so i can't talk about my superannuation and hold a huge hose unless ur my pizza
Me: ok! save the koalas!
Man: Ill take care of this and you get my pizza!

While others can just remain plain weird....

Me: So before I proceed with the call, I will have to perform a 3 point ID check sir just to make sure that I don't give your information out to the wrong person
Man: Well I reckon that you didnt have anyone to take to the prom on friday night and so you got bored and decided to ring random people!
Me: If you're not happy to go ahead with the call sir, I do understand.
Man: OH but if you ARE going to the prom on friday night, I'm available!!!

He was 40. ew. talk about mid-life crisis...

ANYWAY

In other news, I spent an hour at work putting up the christmas tree today! AND got paid for it... WIN!

My baby has arrived!

2009-11-17T18:37:00.003+10:00

The pregnancy process is long...

Blood, sweat and tears went into it.

Thankfully, labour was short.

A little looker indeed.

Alphabet = food

2009-11-16T15:41:00.005+10:00

Wow, it has been a full year since i posted something on this long lost island of a blog.

On that note, I never knew what the word 'blog' meant.

Did the first guy (or girl) decide to write random musings about himself and to not look like a blob then turned the 'b' upsidedown to be bloq(head) but then added a tail onto the 'q' because it sounded better?

No.

According to Wikipedia a blog is:
A blog (a contraction of the term "web log")is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.

Well there you go, its a noun AND a verb. Phewiiieee.

Now onto the purpose of my blog... I sure do know my alphabet.

Sometime last week, for the sake of acquiring an iphone 3gs, I went through the utter boredom of calling an optus teleservicing representative. I had to set up my password for my optus account in order to order one and receive their $50 bonus. After the conversation that lasted around 7 mins, though i didn't think it was possible, they left me feeling incredibly stupid and wanting to go back to primary school.

The following is a transcript of that which occured:

*ring ring*
"Welcome to optus! All our representatives are currently busy but will be with you shortly"
Me: *thinks* Not again!! This is why i hate calling customer service lines!!!!
*5 secs later*
Officer: "Welcome to optus, how can i help you?"
Me: "OH HI! wow that was super quick! I thought i was going to have to wait for ages"
Officer: *unimpressed* "What did you want?"
Me: "oh um i was hoping to change my password on my account so i can access it again"
Officer: "You don't remember your old password?"
Me: "Unfortunately no, it was a long time ago that I set it up"
Officer: "ok ill have to ask you some security questions first."
Me: "Sure!"

*security qns then ensued*

Officer: "ok so what did you want ur new password to be?"
Me: "K for Cat.... no wait... K for KIMCHI!"
Officer: "K for kilo"
Me: "oh yea... then A for APPLE"
Officer: "A for alpha"
Me: "then Y for .... yummy strawberries like u know strawberries that taste nice!"
Officer: "Y for yellow"
Me: "oh...anyway then the numbers 5 then 9 then 3"
Officer: "yep is that it?"
Me: "nope! then B for banana!
Officer: "B for beta "
Me: "P for pearl!"
Officer: "P for purple"
Me: " and thats it!"
Officer: "...you must be hungry..."

My only comfort remains in the iphone arriving tmr ^_^y

And before my musings end, I saw this pop up on facebook the other day

How sad. Facebook is advising me in familial relations.

I hope to be blogging more especially since im going overseas soon!

Peace.

Killer's diary

2008-10-31T20:53:00.002+10:00

Date: 31 Oct 2008

Executioner: The Yau parentals

Victim: A poor young skink

Murderer: I feel absolutely terrible.

As everyone clearly knows, one attribute of the skink is to lose its tail in the face of danger. However, human beings, knowing this fact, have learnt to attack their real prey. Under the impression that these reptiles would somehow find theirway through the walls and into our humble abode, my parents instructed me to destroy any chance of this happening. So began the chase with my granted weapon, the dustpan.

Given my choice, I would've scooped the poor creature and somehow just thrown it back into the surrounding gardens. However, I had no choice but to in the end, physically dismember the poor poor lizard. After this the sense of guilt that washed over me was to say the least, something that has never been experienced before. The feeling of knowing I had just dealt out a life and death judgement was swiftly terrifying.

Perhaps, I had an inkling of understanding as to why God says to leave the horrific job of dealing out judgement to Him - we just can't handle it properly.

Then again, this small episode of my life may just be getting to my head because of all this study.
Nonetheless, 1 minute silence for something God created is definitely welcomed.

Strike of intelligence: OH! This week's sunday school class will be about how John the Baptist was a model of Christ before He came down to earth. Model... model.... the teaching guide tells me to ask the kids to make their own paper models.... nahhhh how about i give them one to make?

Task planning: All kids loved the TRex dinosaur... I must make one and show the kids to inspire them how much fun it is!

Task application: It's so boring black and white.... *sees nearby highlighters* that'll do!

and then.... the best paper model dinosaur ever is created!

Task Reflection:

WOOHOO! My kids are going to be so excited for this!~~

until i realize...

...it did the splits...

FAIL.

What is it like riding with Heidi and Vonnie?

2008-02-07T22:32:00.001+10:00

And hence, I conclude that you should all ride with heidi and i :D

2008-01-24T22:27:00.000+10:00

ok so i finally persuaded my toosh to sit down and blog about...

Some things are definitely worth mentioning whether they be meaningful, valuable, funny or purely because i remembered

- baptism
- quit 2 jobs and applied for 4 (i'm sure u'll be glad to know i am now employed)
- visits from many countless cousins, rellies, family friends
- trip to fraser island and sydney
- KAIROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
- no more harry potter novels
- "i was elected to lead, not to read"
- ppl expressing violent confusion over my current phone number (which might i mention FROM NOW ON is 0401541110!!!)

Some things are constant for example oprah, my hate for nature, my slowness and the many laughs my family and especially cynical sister manage to provide me...

eg. something happened today
let me set the scene: heidi, mum and i were colourfully talking about health bars, health magazines when all of a sudden...

Mum: ohh still i havent seen health legger in broken hill
Me: Health legger?!
Heidi: Broken hill?!
Mum: u know.... health legger
Me and Heidi: *thinks* what on earth is a health legger?
Me: OH.... are u talking about HEATH LEDGER?
Mum: yes yes...that man in broken hill(adding a very suspicious tone to the word 'man')
Me: OHH.... BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Heidi: -_-
Mum: yea u knew what i meant....

So, i just felt smart that i figured out what my mum was saying. And poor Heath.

Anyway...too many funny stories to tell you... will do so when i remember them.

For a bit of randomness... i found these photos. Dunno why i even have them...considering i wasnt at emp when these were taken.

hmm the ppl look so small >_> open it on a new page and u can see the faces better

a nice smirk to match the nice haircut kentos

KC: "this was never in the contract!!"

nothing much has changed svendawg

And last but not least, just want to offer a tribute to a cheerful and loving friend of mine who was taken to a better place on 20th January 1.30pm. Annabel, thank you for always brightening my days with that lovely smile of yours. You were forever a caring and thoughtful friend of mine. I hope that you are now in a better place and my prayers go out to your family.

I will always remember you, Annabellapoo.

the time vonnie met 'blackout'

2007-10-06T15:51:00.000+10:00

hehe u thought it would be another 2 months before i posted again aye? PSYCH! lol

hm was talking to mei mei (no, not u heidi) last night and she suddenly disappeared...(well not away from me just over msn.. :P)

and i learnt just then that it was coz they had a black out.

Black outs.
i reckon they're scary but most think they're cool.
and seeing i live in a country where it donest happen too often, i find them quite scary...
u know why? because it all started with vonnie's first encounter with 'black out'
and this is how the story goes...
--------------------------
One summer night, when the heat of the day had not yet escaped the household of the Yaus, vonnie decided to seek relief in the shower. For months and months, the tears of the skies had not fallen upon this land. Little did this girl know that the heavens were to open up that exact night.

As she stepped into the shower, she made a conscious effort to TRY and stay within the time limit of 6 minutes due to the water restrictions in place. As she began to turn on the water, a soft sprinkling, a sound that sounded so familiar yet foreign was tapping on the window of her bathroom. Rain had arrived. A smile that had appeared on this little girls face now widened into a beam =D.

ZAP! *silence* Smiles vanished. OW!
And so the epidemic of clumsy bumping, stumbling, slipping, toppling and spinning began.
First the shower head. Then the glass doors. Tiled flooring. Tiled steps. Ceramic...er.. stuff?

Meanwhile, a knock had sounded itself upon the bathroom door.
"hello?"
"IM NAKED!!!"
"are u ok vonnie?"
"IM NAKED!!!"
"i think theres been a blackout..."
"IM NAKEDDDDD!!!"
And there she wondered why no one attempted to save her from such a disastrous position.

After around 5 mins of scrabbling, the lights came back on!
WOOOT PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!
8-legged gigantic arachnid with body of 5cm waltzes into room.
"IM NAKEDDDDDDD!"

Not sure whether it was what vonnie had said, the ghastly sight of her or just mere volume that made the disgusting creature scoot.
But who cares?
vonnie was happy.
vonnie also hated blackouts.

THE END

im BACKKKK

2007-09-28T23:31:00.000+10:00

2. Coooooochiiieee Island
wow this day trip seems so long ago... but what i do remember is that im extremely dangerous with a fishing line...could potentially take someones eye out...poor tim, i forced the guy to teach me how to fish...and subsequently mutilated his bait =/

oh and i DO remember how we walked around the whole ENTIRE island looking for 'the spot' -_-''' and then having to negotiate the azn method of swarming some old ladies just so we could take their table...turns out they were just resting :D so no mean azn swarming was needed...more walking later along the beach was awesome and relaxing :) views were beautiful

3. Mummy goin to HK
hmm....more closer to recent weeks my mother dear left for HK... miss her heaps and clearly ive been landed with the household duties and, as my mum emphasized, the most important duty of taping all the azn dramas :O forget about the washing, watering, cleaning...its the dramas she's worried about! lol...ah dear mummy...how can we ever repay her for educating us the language of chinois through such thrilling means...

on another note, the shopping is crazy...im so jealous >.<

hehe was looking through some stuff and realized some old school stuff....

thanks goes to calista~ she helped me revive my blog lol

2007-07-24T22:17:00.000+10:00

"WOW! she's finally updated!" i hear you say.
Yes, due to the extreme desperation that the last comment-or of my blog exerted, i succumb.

So, the life of vonnie in the last er.... month?! ....filled full to the brim i say....

Week 1
dear mel mel arrived from UK! ^^ and hmm we went to movieworld
no one would go on the superman ride with me....grrr so much disappointment (and waste of money! XD)
oh and on the lethal weapon ride, i found this sign.... soooooo hilarious

look at the highlighted bit XD

Week 2
KAIROSSSSSSSS! ahh there's so much i learnt from this camp. Thanks to all my group members and especially sime! Hope ALL of you took something out of this awesome time and remember to keep the fire burning!! As one of my friends puts it - Sizzle for God !!

Week 3
SYDNEY!!!

*thinks* "land is a metre away...who would opt to stand on these blocks?!"

sorry frank..couldnt resist =D

the smiling mask hid the greatest fear

A BROWN PIGEON! such a rarity worthy of notation. of course, heidi was quick to mention that i saw another 100 of these after i took this photo!

who's the odd one out?

taking sticker photos wasnt enough, we had to take photos of us outside the sticker phototakerers :D

my goodness, $5 to anyone who can substantially give me an explanation to this ad. This is it. No writing, no ads after/before it. It was at a bus stop - that is your only clue

So thats it so far. Definitely been a very good holiday and its only goin to get better with more rellies arriving this week ^^ This weekend im off to Fraser Island. Let's hope no dingoes come to nibble bits of me. i like all my bits. all of them.

The Procrastinator's Creed

2007-05-22T21:58:00.000+10:00

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.

neways...decided to do some baking and made some brownies with the intention that if they turned out alrite...THEN i would bring them to bs for my taste testers...oh and for those worried ppl out there...i checked...they ARE 96% fat free :D

girls DOMINATED at bible study on mon nite...haha...yes..the brownies passed the test alrite...oh they passed with XCELLENCE!~ hence it was the only explanation for the sudden 'high' that we all experienced...(seriously i didnt think this was the reason..bec had some and she was..erm...normal :P)

we were alllll on the ground laughing our heads off...geez everyone's tummy muscles got a work out that nite :D mayb some ppl can finally look in the mirror and see abs reflecting back at them XD unfortunately most of us couldnt remember the glorious moments of vonnie's slowness, ness' randomness (and MUTILATION!) and frank's random
bursts into song...tho just a few of them can be relived right HERE -->
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The donut christmas tree/man

Vonnie: viv, can i borrow a knife?
*Ness grabs knife*
Ness: omgsh...look at that...its a MAN with EXTRA arms and legs
Vonnie: its a christmas tree...
Ness: look...its so a man...we HAVE TO cut them extra bits OFFF
Vonnie: woahhh...let's call him Mr Hairy...check out his head...facial hair seems to have taken over the rest of his face
Ness: YEA! here..we'll give him eyes the poor man
*jabs 2 holes*
Ness: NOW let's cut off his extra arms and legs
Vonnie: nono...i know! they're his LOVE HANDLES!!!!
*max grabs knife*
Max: ahhh let us SCULPT him! HOUR-GLASS figure...
*extra arm bits lie untouched*
Ness: hmm...they look at bit lonely..lets move them
*puts extra 2 bits on chest of 'man'*
Vonnie: HAHAHAHAH...BOOBS! hang on...is it a man or woman now?
Ness: ooo good qn..i have no idea...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stuck together

(i actually didnt know wth was goin on...it was more a frank/steph/ems thing but even by the end of the 20th time they sang it...i kinda got the song...well the last line neways)
*vonnie/ems singing*: stuckkkk TOOOGEETHHHHERRRR
*vonnie and ems 'stick'*
Both: STUCK BUDDIES!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Ness grabs one*
Ness: hey look! it looks like a MOLE...
*Ness puts it on her arm*
Ness: muahahhahha..i have cancer on my arm...but no matter...
*Ness gobbles up freckle*
Max: Dr NESS is HEREEEEEE....cure for cancer! Cure by gobbling...
Vonnie to soph: makes her sound like a TURRKEY!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardcore DONUTing (or in this case, no core)

2006-12-07T22:48:00.000+10:00

argh...7th day on the job thats only existed for the last 10 days is alot more than i first intended -_-''' for one, we have the worst boss ever...everyone hates him...at first i didnt understand this but i guess i do now...

tonite i worked the thurs late night shopping shift that lasts approximately 5 hrs...it was hardcore from the moment i walked into the shop...donuting, milkshaking, coffeeing, ice-creaming...basically the lot...it would have been less exerting had there been an xtra person but only erin and I were working...

newyas...after what seemed like HOURS i look at the clock and its 7.19...(!!!) omgsh i hate that...why cant it be like the morning shifts that go like bang bang bang?! Meanwhile, my boss waltzes in as gracefully as a guy his size can waltz (im not being mean guys...seriously he like..sways and shuffles...) meh...the point is...he spent the next 1/2 hr arguing with me abt the amount of ice-cream i was putting in the milkshakes/thickshakes...the 'convo' went as follows:

Pete: What are u making?
Me: A thickshake
Pete: And whats that you're putting in it?
Me: Well this is a ice-cream machine...
Pete: So, whats that you're putting in it?
*vonnie just continues putting 4 1/2 swirls in*
Pete: You're putting in too much...that was 5 swirls
Me: oh...that was 4 1/2 swirls that i put in (trying to sound as calm as possible)
Pete: No that was 5!!!
*vonnie stops all action and looks at him*
Pete: ok...mayb it was 4 1/2...NO! it was 4 and 3/4
*vonnie turns around and hands the shake to customer*

Now its realli a wonder why HE wonders the reason for his manager quitting...*shakes head*

Neways...amongst the VERY busy nite...there were moments in which me and
erin had the few laughs to help us survive the night...

>>> The Rubbish <<<
Pete: Have you got any more rubbish?! Come on..chop chop! Any more rubbish?
vonnie and erin both look at each other and whisper at the same time: yea...put urself in...(after which we both burst out laughing)

Neways on a nicer note...i also had my other job today (the keyboard teaching one) I had 2 extra students who wanted to do their make-up (not the maxxy heart type) lessons that were planning to come this arvo...

well it ended up that they didnt come so i spent their lessons (approx 1 hr) just banging around on the keyboard myselfthe best bit was i still get paid...lol i could do that each week..just play to an audience of one (myself) and get paid $21/hr...haha

at the end of tonite at DK...i was so angry that i went and took a bottle of water...(we can take watever we want anytime..but thats besides the point) in REVENGE...MUAHAHAH so yes...at the end of the nite...i was $2.30 richer and my body got fully hydrated...now THAT is watered-down revenge :P...

I am Greg Norman

2006-12-06T22:13:00.000+10:00

Due to the rushed ‘welcome’ to my new blog a few evenings ago, I’ve decided to do a proper one…*does a tribal dance* ah… blogspot has been properly installed and the happy bugs continue to multiply at an exponential rate…(wow that was a BIG word…learnt it off sveno hehe)

neways, seeing I haven’t actually properly blogged for like 4 months…wow 4 months o.O…thought id write more than a few lines…hmm got nothing really much to say…let’s talk abt 2day…I think ill do a ness and separate into time periods…

7.00am
Receive anonymous phone call requesting for Greg Norman…convo was as follows
*phone rings and vibrates on glass*
Me: ola? (meant to be hello but was best I could do at 7 in the morning)
Iodit: OLA! Cómo eres! Me looking for Greg Norman! Greg! U Greg?!
Me: *puts on male voice* oh yes yes…*cough* me Greg OLA!
---silence---
*person hangs up*
*entirely satisfied…vonnie rolls back over and promptly falls asleep*
I realized later on that ‘ola’ actually means hello in some stream of Spanish and the weird thing he said afterwards was como eres which meant ‘how are you?’

7.18am
Got woken up again as mum sends heidi to work *covers other ear with pillow*

7.30am
A stupid lovebird (yes there is a species called lovebird – it’s the one that’s brown with a kinda green head and yellow bit around the eye…I would know…seeing I sat on the side of the road with Heidi one day and watched one die and get picked to pieces by ants after it got attacked by a cat…we were sad…oh yes we were sad :P) decided that my window was the ideal place to test its ability to resist hard objects such as glass…im sad to announce that the glass won…clearly the poor loser had been inspired by a crow that does exactly the SAME test every morning to my sis’ window…

8.00am
Alarm rings…almost punch myself realizing that I had set the alarm ½ hr too early and after rolling around for a bit…decided to get up and start getting ready

9.15am
Leave house to meet vivi at garbo for a full morning brunch (seriously…ive never had steak for breakky…was a first o.o)

11.00am
This was conveniently followed by lots and lots of shopping :D…I feel so envious of the person viv was shopping for…obviously someone spesh ;)…meanwhile as I waltzed in DJ…I found a perfect kids singlet with the bold letters that spelt the word ‘ATTITUDE’ in a very attitudistic way and wanted buy it for kev…I found myself recalling the first one-on-one interaction I ever had with him:
Me: shhh….kevin sit down
Kev: MAKE ME
To my EXTREME disappointment I found that they had no size 5s left and sulked at the idea that I wouldn’t be able to see him wearing it and rapping: “G-G-G-G-G-UNIT”

2.15pm
Decided to leave garbo in time to arrive for high tea at Stamford with some special friends celebrating for some special days :D

2.35pm
Rings ellie and finds out that she’s in ct and that I would be able to meet her outside queens plaza

2.40pm
Walking along queen st heading in direction of DJs behind a grandma with her granddaughter and admiring the lil girls’ pink squeaky shoes
*vonnie realizes that she is approached on the rhs by a middle-aged Indian fellow Australian*
Random: Hi *raises eyebrows*
Vonnie: O_O
Random: How are you? *raises eyebrows again*
Vonnie: ARGH!! *runs as fast as her high heels and lil legs could take her to queens plaza into the comforting arms of ellie and fi*

3.00pm
--incident of the water balloons—
Esther: can you BLOW UP water balloons?
Ellie: yea….:S
Louise and i: well we’ve never done it before
Fi: ellie said we could
Ellie: No I didn’t
Fi: yes u did
Ellie: No I didn’t
Fi: u said it when we brought them
Esther, Louise and i: so CAN you blow them up or not?
*at the same time* Fi/Ellie: No you can’t/Yes you can
Esther, Louise and i: -_______________-

5.05pm
Left for home

So that was my funtastic and fun-filled day full of fun :D

Oh I also thought that I hadn’t fully satisfied the purpose of the four things thingo…so I decided to add some more personalized parts XD

4 most asian things I am involved in
> mass-stock when specials are on (ie. Like that time I had to buy 10 packs of 24 pack toilet rolls for dad…they mounted up too high on the trolley and I couldn’t see over the top o.O)
> my parents are connected to the world-wide network of azn parents
> Get mum to drive me to the postbox…which is 150m away
> ENDLESS collection of miniature shampoo/conditioner bottles and little soap bars…token of all my hotel stays

4 most embarrassing moments of my life
> walking the length of queen st before I realized I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe
> falling backwards off my computer swivel chair and flashed in full view of all my yr 10 geog class (the funni part was that it took literally 10 secs for me to hit the ground)
> falling down stairs after laughing at my friend who had fallen up the same ones 5 mins before…the situation was as follows:
*Sher stacks up stairs*
Nao and I: HAHAHHAHAHHAHA
5 mins later: *vonnie stacks down stairs*
Nao and Sher: BEACHWHALE!!!!!
> *vonnie points to distance*
Vonnie: OMGSH! Its ORLANDO BLOOM!!! Since when was he in Brissie???!!!
Craig: *giggles without vonnie’s knowledge* Oh…let’s go have a look!
Vonnie: YEA! Mayb I can get an autograph
*both walk 100m*
Craig: oh there he is
*vonnie jumps up and down in excitement*
Vonnie: why isn’t he moving?
Craig: That’s coz it’s a picture
Vonnie: You’re lying…its all LIES!
Craig: hun…here are ur glasses
Vonnie: -_______________-

Hope you had a happy read ppl :)

Lotsa lov
vonnie xoxo
