Fishy Business

Today, I made a promise to NOT EVER have my hair cut again.. I just had one and now my hair's a disaster *sob sob* Having my second Mrs. Field chewy fudge now.. I think I will be on my third anytime soon.. *SOB*

Anyway, I had the photos from my fisheye camera developed. More than half of them are all grey because apparently the camera needs a LOT of light. I got some pretty cool photos though. Played around with the multiple exposures, long shutter.. and I'm really pleased with the film I bought, too (kodak portra). The colors are vibrant, the way I like it.
Clockwise from top left: the building next door; mx - me + pokies machine; neighbor's cheeky cat; me + Syl + yummy torts chip.

Hate my hair.. grow quick grow grow grow...

Jumble Muddle Bungle

Today I saw a poodle. It has very long body, almost twice the length of a normal poodle. After a while, I realized.. that there were 2 poodles. One stood behind the other.

Anyway, I have a friend.. He loves his dog and he likes monkeys. He's funny, a good cook, he's available and looking.

Check him out on friendster

Hehehe.. And that is Emon.

No Work Wednesday

A few Anzac day photos...
And my way to commemorate Anzac day... *drum roll*
Something fishy... can't wait to finish the roll!!
Anyway, the pies won.. booo!

Meet Hiro, Hiro!

9 o'clock on an Anzac day morning. Everybody's sleeping in.. except for those who are taking part in the service and or parade. It's annoying having noone to talk to about what's going on in the latest episode of Heroes. I just finished watching it, but nobody else has watched it!! HELPPP!!! I'm getting crazy!!! I might as well go to the shrine of remembrance and find someone who watches heroes as religiously as I do and have that quality conversation about episode 19. Hmpft.. hehehe

Yes, it's winter

Autumn has left Melbourne and has been replaced by days of low 20s, cold and colder winter breeze, flaky dry skin, and binge eating under the doona..

Winter means the footy premiership is on. It's the big Anzac day game tomorrow between the two giants, Collingwood and Essendon. I'm tipping for the bombers, because Chris Tarrant is no longer with the pies (not that he's that good as a footy player, but he's hot! hot dude in shorts running around the field = my support) and I'm currently at the border of going for the Freo or being an agnostic. The latter is more likely to happen.

Winter also means the Melbourne comedy festival is on. Had a ticket to see the annual great debate about a week ago and had to let it go because I wasn't feeling well.. stoopid Melbourne weather has made me sick. Anyway, it's still on until the 29th and I went to see the D-Cuppetry tonight. Similar idea to the Puppetry of the Penis, but not as funny and enjoyable.

Timetable board and... pop corn, anyone?

Super fast ferris wheel on the background

Inside the Umbrella Revolution

While the dudes in the Puppetry of the Penis work their ways all through the show making unbelievable origamis with their penises, the women in D-Cuppetry jump up and down topless, flapping their boobs (yes, flap!) letting gravity do its job. Don't know whether it's because I see boobs everyday (although they're not nearly the same size.. obviously! hence not having the same ability either, but still) or because I was too busy holding my pee almost all the time I was in there, I found the show pretty dull and boring. I wouldn't recommend it and I'd say you'd rather spend your money on the pop corn, cos the pop corn dude was kinda cute.. hehe.. I mean I admit that it's not easy doing what they're doing (spoiler: a 38 year old woman carries a big bottle of booze under her boob and pours it into a glass.. no hand, only boob), but.. the Puppetry of the Penis is far much better.

Another good thing about winter is.. the Big Brother. I know, you might think of me differently after reading this post. I'm that girl who pays to see naked men and women do things with their thingies and pervs on people in the big brother house. Yea, whatever. I only have one thing to say... I LOVE ZORAN!

Holga - 2nd attempt

The good news is.. 27 photos were developed. I taped my holga with the electrical tape Dad slipped into my suitcase when I was leaving for Melbourne to prevent the back from falling off. Here's some of the results. Clockwise from top left: Melbourne Uni - dual exposures of Arvin playing with my digital camera - Ronald in his helmet (red flash) - Comedy Festival @Federation Square - Will and his gum.
The bad news is.. the rest of the photos look like this..

They are just as good as photos I take with my digital camera, which means either I'm so crap with my digital camera or my holga is just so good that it doesn't create any distortion or has leaks or anything. Boo!

You Are Most Like Miranda!

While you've had your fair share of romance, men don't come first Guys are a distant third to your friends and career. And this independence *is* attractive to some men, in measured doses. Remember that if you imagine the best outcome, it might just happen. Romantic prediction: Someone from your past is waiting to reconnect... But you'll have to think of him differently, if you want things to work.

Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

You Are a Natural Flirt

Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt. And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting. Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt. And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive!

What Kind of Flirt Are You?

You Are 36% Gross

You're a tad gross, but generally you're a clean, hygienic person. No one can be perfectly clean all the time, and it's better to be human than a neat freak.

Holga Balooga

Meet my Holga.. my dusty Holga (which I didn't bother cleaning before taking the photo of)
And meet my Holga photos taken when we were in the Philippines
I put them on the table and took a photo of them with my digital camera (since I don't have access to any scanner no no). Out of the 2 rolls of films I used, only 13 photos were successfully developed. Not that I'm a crappy photographer or anything (which I think I am) the back of the camera kept falling off.

I need to learn to use my Holga properly. Fingers crossed, in the near future I'll be able to take nice pictures like those ones flying around on the internet. And when that happens, you'll see alot of my photos here.. yayy!

Oztreya or Indenisya?

2 minggu di Indonesia telah menelurkan suatu keputusan besar yang walaupun masih samar-samar, tapi kemungkinan besar akan terlaksana, kecuali kalo ada sesuatu yg besar terjadi (3 kata besar.. karena ini memang masalah besar!). Yes, me going back for good sometime this year. Antara 3-6 bulan lagi sih rencananya.

Yang engga punya pilihan pengen punya pilihan. Yang punya pilihan bingung mau pilih yang mana. Si ini apa si itu? Di sini apa si itu? Lho? If only life had a cheat sheet (kayanya sering bgt gue bilang ini.. hehehe.. ihhh.. ihhh.. cupu *toyor*)

Banyak yang harus dipikirin sampe males mikirinnya. Banyak alasan yang harus dicari sampe males nyarinya... Udah ketemu sih beberapa, tapi apa bener itu? Apa itu bener? Dilema.. Gue kan masih muda (ya?), seharusnya yang masih muda gak usah mikir banyak2.. mumpung masih muda..

Jadi, pulang apa engga? If only there's a decision making warranty.. jadi kalo rusak, bisa minta dibetulin sama orangnya.

Indonesia.. kayanya blibet sama macet dan bencana alam dan tingkat kejahatan dan kawankawan.

Kalo lunch di kantor, biasanya Brooke kalo engga bacain berita, cerita2 soal lunchnya yg super enak (tapi ga pernah bagi2) atau ngomel2 soal kerjaannya. Pernah gue sampe ditimpuk gagang anggur gara2 gak dengerin dia ngomel (she's a bully.. I used to be a bully when I was back home, cos I'm big there.. tapi disini, di negara babon, I'm the bullee - baca: buli'i)

Tadi dia bacain berita.. Ada gempa disitu, ada apa disana.. lalu tiba2 dia bilang "Why isn't there anything about Indonesia? What has happened?" karena biasanya berita2 Indonesia yang jadi topik hangat makan siang.. hehehe.. Lalu tiba2 dia teriak "EH ADAAA!! Ada cewe mati gara2 flu burung, she got it from her pet eagle" Lalu dia seneng... Yek!

Jadi, Oztreya? Or Indenisya?

Obrolan yang membutuhkan sedikit konsentrasi.. jauh lebih konsentrasi kalo ngobrol sama si bokap. Kadang2 dia jawabnya lamaaaa bgt... kadang2 gak dijawab... kadang2 dijawab, tapi pertanyaannya dia bikin sendiri, alias pertanyaan pertama dan pertanyaan kedua digabung, lalu dijawab. Pedahal pertanyaannya jadi gak nyambung sama pembicaraan sama sekali... paling ribet kalo dia jawab balik pake pertanyaan. Cepedeeeeeeehh... tapi kangen... miss me daddy... Boooooo!!

Hate Me Not

Long version:
Marketing is one of the very crucial things in running a business. Aye or nay? AAAAAYEEEE!!! But I reckon some marketing strategies are designed as a tool to tell people how much you hate them (or how much they hate you)

So there's this company that claims to be the world's largest health club operator called Fitness First. One of their ways to market their products i.e. memberships is to have the new members list their friends' names and phone numbers. When the friend joins, he or she will get some kind of reward and so will the person who nominates him or her.

Quite a lot of my friends have joined Fitness First. I normally get 1 phone call a month from them offering me a tour around the fitness centre plus a free trial because I have been nominated by a friend. I'm always polite whenever I get those kind of calls (my ex-housemate, whom I miss very much btw, used to work/is working in one of the call centres... so I better be good... ahhh.. sedih) although afterwards, I'll beat the hell out of the person who's put me on the list.. not really, because I'm just a good person.

A few weeks ago.. I received a phone call on my mobile from this Fitness First dude called Richard. As I normally do, I listened to him saying his crap before politely rejected his offer. They always say who put down your contact on the list. A friend from uni was the reason for that call.

I... have 2 mobile phones.. but they're with different providers. Not that I need 2 or anything, but because I can use one of them to call my friends for free.. totally FREE! I normally use it only to make that free calls.

At the end of the day I got that phone call from Richard, there's a missed call on that phone with no number. I called up mom, dad, etc asking whether they rang me. Nobody did.

The next day, there was another call from a no number.. picked it up, and it was Richard. Apparently that lovely friend of mine has listed both of my numbers. While Richard was pretty amazed that I have 2 mobiles - because when I said "Hi Richard, it's Pam, you rang me up yesterday" he didn't say a thing for a while before saying "You have 2 phones???" in confusion.

Do you think I look so unfit, so my friend had to list 2 of my numbers there to make sure that Fitness First can reach me? Do you think she did that to get the reward? I think she hates me... and she hates me more than my other friends.. Booooooooooo!!!!!


Short version:
Fitness First told me that someone hates me.. why why oh whyyyyyy???
