things that cheer me up

just came home to find my poor daddy not feeling his best at all

seeing how vulnerable people are is hard at the best of times,

harder still to imagine how to help

things that cheer me up

1. photos of me with b

2. things that remind me of Tian

3. new magazines : today B kindly supplied me with frankie (THE MAGAZINE) AND coffees, lucky me and also frankie frankie

4. friends dvd marathon

5. gym session followed by coffee

6. sticking post-its in my glossy magazines

things that cheer my dad up:
1. blasting the whole neighborhood on his B&O sound system the full soundtrack of War of The Worlds (eeks!)
2. knowing that we will let him do whatever he wants as long as he feels better
3. eating whatever he wants for dinner, including whisky and doritos
4. me not pilfering his doritos for once
5. seeing me watch friends.. it makes him feel better for his own bizarre teevee obsessions like M*A*S*H and Allo Allo and lord knows what else

she's coming!!!

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my
so excited so excited so excited so excited so excited so excited
can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't

what to do during awkward moments

good conversation massacre technique:

discuss your latest assignment

in detail

give examples

today's topic? database versus hardcover research of judicial independence

Today's horoscope...

Switch out of multi-tasking mode. Focus your attention where it's most needed.

Multi-tasking sounds like a dirty word now...

What's wrong with painting your toes whilst you study?
And online shopping whilst the polish dries?
And chatting with your best pal ever whilst you browse?

And looking for another horoscope?

It's always good to get a second opinion..

you know you're turning into your parents

when...

1. "I was about to say!" is their most common reply to anything you have to say
2. "That's what your father said last time" is the next most common reply
3. you rant about how "it's not about the money, it's the principle"
4. you say "oh, is the teevee broken?" when a black and white scene plays (see no.2)
5. you talk about how things are different for teenagers these days
6. you mistake people in clubs for 12 year olds (see no.5)

you're turning into your parents' parents when...

1. you say things like "blast!" "jeepers" "gosh" "gollygee"
2. your father asks you why can't you swear like a normal person
3. you think it's going to rain because your elbows hurt
4. you wear jumpers in queensland

In sydney for Big Day Out & the Metro

lesson of the day: fix that grossometer

i have issues with:

1. food breath
2. coffee breath
3. stale breath
4. alcoholic breath
5. bad breath
6. dirty ears (yuck)

obviously, people who know me know i have way more than just the 6 problems. BUT these are my TOP 6, out of my top 10, out of my top 100, out of my top 100000234...

#6 is by far the worst thing...it can strike you at anytime. You glance at the person next to you, the first thing you lay eyes on is the side of their head. Unless they are a fish, you'll be looking into their ear not their eye. What is worse than looking into a cavern of dirty ear?

Not much. Except:

Yesterday, I had the distinctly uncool task of helping a woman choose an earring and then WATCH as she attached it to one of the dirtiest DUSTIEST ear lobes I have ever had to lay eyes on to date. EVER.

She had dandruff too. I felt violated.

Please use a q-tip before you go jewellery shopping, visit the hairdresser, go to the supermarket, go out in public, before your partner comes home, anything. Always use a q-tip guys.

Nothing on teevee? Get out your q-tips.

Bored at work? Remember those q-tips? Why not? Use them.

Watching stock prices? E-baying? Don't have a kit-kat. HAVE A Q-TIP.

Reading this? I'mma say it one more time: Q-TIP. Try it.

Don't lemme catch you with dirt in your ear.

Jigga wants you to get dat durt off yo shoulder, Dommynikki wants it outta yo ear.

i am wearing :

: i am reading

summer holiday

in any or all:

1. honky-tonks (shopping at the ocean terminal & lane crawford)
2. singha-poooraa (eating, shopping at mango & zara with tian, visiting the apple store)
3. melbatoast-town (shopping at GPO and strolling through lt. collins st, manicure at Geisha salon)

yes, in an effort to curb childish name-calling and insult-hurling...have taken to doing this to place names and inanimate objects with no supposed feelings...

if i wasn't as ticklish as i was, i would just book a massage and have my stresses and neuroses kneaded out...but getting me to sit or lie through a massage is impossible...hence the only means of relaxation i have is consumerism...which also boosts the economy

people who get the luxury of being physically capable of enjoying a massage are just plain greedy

where would you go to relax?

i suppose...

1. thailand
2. bali
3. penang
4. bora bora
5. whitsundays

good idea

nikes, loubies (MR. Christian Loubies), pras (prada), a.d.d. (adidas), gooches (gucci)...

love em all...

don't mind us...we're in retail

there's nothing like fine dining, but once in a while all a girl wants after a long day at work is a giant chunk of steak washed down with beer at Chelsea...

there are no photos of the steak because we wolfed it down so fast of course.

My friend went to Melbourne n all I got was this stupid shirt...

This was THE ONLY ITEM OF CLOTHING I BOUGHT IN MELBOURNE!

i have proven that i have self-restraint once and for all...

i did get a knit from Scanlan & Theodore for mum and a silk belt for me. But everyone knows that S & T accessories on sale DO NOT COUNT, and that durr, it's just good filial behaviour, buying couture for your mother.

BTW that print tony is wearing looks alot like a necklace i like from mimco... but totally overpriced and against my principles (there, i said it, i don't approve of mimco! GASP)

Hello, I'm retaining water

I have thankfully deflated, but at the time, I was truly questioning the logic behind mother nature gifting women with water retention in addition to hormone related mood swings (as opposed to my usual non-hormone related mood swings), glass ceilings and cramps. The silver lining though...it is the only time I actually have a cleavage. Why fight it? ...

Don't bother with mascara, ladies, no one will notice. Garnish with red heels and cinch in waist (may as well highlight that hip-waist ratio). DONE.
