Blue Eyes

Mika has got a new album out called 'Songs of Sorrow' and I am really liking a song on there called Blue Eyes, it is beautifully written, very melodic. You use to be able to listen to this song plus two other on his site, www.mikasounds.com, but they took Blue Eyes down which was a shame, but here is sung live.



I have only ever disliked one of Mika's songs and it was the hidden track, Grace Kelly reminds me of my trip to France because I first heard it there, and it was playing is every shop.

I'm bored, I'm awesome, it's almost one...

So my posts a few and far between, and every time I got to write something it has no substance, but does a blog need to have substance, maybe that's my problem is that I think there has to be something fun interesting to blog about. So from now on I think I will blog about nothing is particular, cool video, interesting articles, strange pictures, and so on and so forth.

The title of this blog is "I'm bored, I awesome,it's almost one..." come from the song "Blue Hair" by Joe Iconis, I didn't instantly love it when I first heard it, but it began to grow on me and now I tend to sing it often, usually loudly and in the shower. I first found it on UrInTown (one of the best channels ever)on youtube, sung by the fabulous Courtney Wolfson.



Always makes me smile when I listen to this song, because at one point last year, I did want to dye my hair blue.

My Holiday...

Well this has been a long time coming but I suppose it has to be done, because it will be lost in the crevasse that is my mind. So after a week of absolute chaos, of 13 girls sharing a three bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, of drunk girls, one night stands (not on my part), budgets, shopping, bitches and bosses, couches (where I slept), beaches, singstar, movies and friends. I thought it would be nice to come back to a quite house and relax.At the Beach in Rye.

And we are off!
Dad, Me, Brendan, Mum and Jane.

I was wrong, I come back home exhausted and have 24 hours to pack for a 6 weeks trip, there are people rushing trying to find things that are already packed, dad trying to organise better seats and just general un-calmness. So I have one night in my warm and cosy bed, before the next night we have to get on a plane which is delayed forty- five minutes, which wouldn’t be so bad except it was expected at 2:30am and it didn’t start boarding until about 3:30am, fun times, well it was Brendan and I built a awesome Lego building! Finally got on the plane only to discover that it feels like the seats are made of pure metal, imagine, old school bus seats, with seat belts, that is AirAsia seats. You have to pay for TV, pay for blankets and pillows, pay for all food and beverages. Hmm so it wasn’t a comfy ride neck hurt and was quite cramped but I got my sleep. Arrived in Malaysia in the discount arrival gate, dodgy! Got hit by the weather! Since it was Jane’s first time out of Australia it was fun to see her reaction to stuff, like toilets funny, she took a picture of nearly every toilet she went into, although I don’t think that is legal. Got picked up and was all dandy on the way home it was nice to get see some familiar sights, all the houses in KK and my family again. We were shown to our room, which is actually Gary’s, and Mum, Jane and I slept there, awesome room!

Ok so the next bit is going to be compressed because it gets a little boring.

So the next day, dad left of Penang and Mum and Jane left for Thailand, and so for the next five days until they got back Brendan and I shopped. Anne took us, and then when Gary came he took us. Somewhere in the middle of this I got my VCE results which I was terribly not impressed with, but Gary took me shopping and things were all good. More shopping continued, eating at Yogitree, seeing Twilight, (which was an event all in it self, it’s pretty shocking(ly funny) on the first view, but what made it worse was that there has a single guy in his 40’s sitting next to Brendan totally ingrossed in the movie so much so he kept gasping and saying ‘Aih-oh’, and they cut out all the kissing scenes, all two of them but it defiantly missed something.), Mega Shopping malls, white belts, dresses and food, that is my favourite part, the eating in grungy little shops for really cheap Love it!! I really liked those days, it was the first quite time I had in awhile and it was nice just to sit alone at the house and read. Soon enough they were back with force, Adrian finally came as did Ah Fee Sok(sp?) and Anne Z, which brought the grand total of the house up to 15, wow it was schoolies again! Dad put on 12 kilos in 5 days! WOAH!

The wedding/anniversary dinner/celebration was on the 20th of December and we all dressed in our best (my new dress) and offered tea to Evelyn and Milos, then moved into the dining hall and had a 12 course meal, there were speeches and slide shows and my dad infamous Yum Seng which brought the house down. It was an excellent night of celebration and fun.

Double Celebration.

The 21st there was more celebration with the winter solstice, and Indian food. Then we had 3 days to kill before went off to Blenhiem on the 25th, Christmas Day. More shopping ensued where I have to say for a none Christian country the decorations are way better and Christmas carols rang out of every speaker.
On the 24th we went to church with was fully packed so much so they set up tents and chairs to fit people with big projector screens, we sang our hearts out whether it be in English or Latin, for some strange reason we liked to sing no matter what. At the end of mass they gave out prizes... like Mobile phones, wow! We didn’t win :( We came home and opened pressies! Yay!

Christmas day we went to Blenhiem, although really nice, I wasn’t feeling the Christmas spirit. The house which was recently renovated slept 33 people, which again felt like schoolies, only with much older people. One of the requirements of going to Blenheim is playing Water Volley, there are only a few exceptions, but basically if you don’t play you won’t be invited back. It starts at about 4pm when it starts getting cooler and you play until it gets dark, there is basically one rule, you can’t smash, which was fine because I’m not tall enough too. It’s always great fun no matter if you win or lose. But for the rest of the day you can do whatever the hell you want, play basketball, sauna, pool, walks around the plantation, general lounging all acceptable. Although there were so many people, I hardly saw any of them, that’s how big the place was. There was so much food, either cooked by the cook, or brought, but if you are bored all you have to do it eat! We also play charades on one for the nights which is always a laugh and half.

General Lounging.

Back to KK in the morning of the 28th and then off too Singapore by bus with my boys, dad, Adrian and Brendan, the same night, it was nice five hour bus ride, a million times better seating then AirAsia! We arrived at 4am and went straight to the hotel, where were slept for a few hours before heading out. We went to Raffles place where Adrian had a job meeting. Did a bit of shopping then went to my uncle’s house, where I met some of my cousins for the first time! It was excellent seeing Tracy again, wish we didn’t live in different countries! Had dinner which was the best-est chicken rice ever! Then after dinner we went walking down the famous Orchard Road, better Christmas decorations then Australia again, shame Australia. Lovely city at night, beautiful weather and awesome things to look at.
On the 30th we had a shopping day the stuff was nice but the due to the exchange rate everything was pretty much the same price. But they had a Sephora which made me so happy! Even though I didn’t buy anything I literally tried every product there, I smelt good AND I was glittery! More shopping then more food.
The 31st we went to Wet Wet Wild with Anne Z, awesome funny hilarious ride, where she screamed the whole bloody place down. Then went back to the hotel and got ready to celebrate the New Year, Tracy came with us and we watched the fireworks from a bridge, perfect view. After the streets we so fully packed it wasn’t funny, but there were all so calm and collect and followed everyone, there was no pushing or shoving, it was SO weird. Then the next day it was off, to Macau!

New Years, with Brendan, Anne, Tracy and I.

Artistic Shot!

Night Safari!

Pretty Christmas Decorations!

A three to four hour flight on AirAsia to Macau not so bad, just long haul not good. Arrived then had to wait for mum and Jane arrived, which was another few hours. The hotel was a bit grungy, our toilet didn’t work, and the carpet was dirty, but I could see China from my window. Macau in a nut shell:
- It’s a European town in regards to architecture, well at least the old part, only with asian faces.
- The floor are cobbled
- Quiet as at night
- They sold sweet meat on every corner
- People are a little bit scary (weird guy yelling at dad telling him how to order)
- The Casinos are ridiculously huge and grand, the Wynn, Grand Lisboa…
- Food not so great
- Gambled for the first time
- look at a million flashing lights
- Eat food out of a moving cooker, very funny for Jane!
- Road in a gondola in the Venetian hotel! Hot guy singing, sigh!
- Bought cheap underwear
- Saw lots of hookers, one of which asked Adrian up to her room, which he replied “do you know where the roulette table is?”
Then it was over and we were on a 45 minute ferry journey to Hong Kong. In which you could hear people throwing up around you, nice.

Venetian Casino, The boys in a Gondala.

This is inside!

Europe with Asians!

Artistic background!

The FOYER!

Hong Kong arrived on the 3rd evening and went to our hotel, which was pretty swank, it was on the Kowloon side and it was on a Hill which was a killer to get up, especially after a very long day of shopping, we were just off Nathan Road which is its famous shopping strip. When we got there we explored for a bit until, dinner time where we met up with Fanna, cousin Anne’s friend, who took us up to the peak, it had the most beautiful view ever, over Hong Kong Island and then over too the mainland, it was magnificent. After that we went to the temple street market, a market that is open every day. It’s an entire street; I bought bags, and some fun clothes. The two streets flanking it, one sells only sports shoes, and the other sells only electronics, amazing! Then I had my first taste of real Hong Kong style tea and it was amazing, after that I ordered it with every meal, in HK they also have this version of French toast which is deep fried, wow!

The next day we took a ferry across to the Hong Kong Island and met Clara, my god mother whom I have never met. Then Adrian I continued to shop and we went to H&M and some other fun stores. To get from one side to the other you can also use the MTR or MRT and use an oyster card or was it octopus, they had a VERY similar system in Singapore, and I get confused. The next day was Brendan’s 21st birthday and poor fellow he had been sick nearly the whole holiday, so on his 21st birthday he had to give a stool sample, lovely!
Then that night we went to on a ferry ride around the harbour and saw the symphony of lights, I love cities at night, I love the lights against the black background. It was so fun and I love boats. After that we went to dinner at this Italian place near our hotel it was so nice, and the food was bloody good. The next few days passed without much fuss, a lot more shopping and food eating!

Hong Kong Street.

Brendan's Birthday Dinner.

Wall of Beads!

On the Ferry in the Day.

Night view from the peak, most awesome view ever!

We came back to Malaysia on the 9th and started are mad packing to get everything to fit, I didn’t have much of a problem but Jane was struggling! The day before we left I went to the central market, and I got my feet eaten by small fish, and then sucked at my bigger fish, one of the weirdest moments in my life and it tickled like hell! And that was the end we left on the 11th in the morning, we had to go for one last breakfast of kon loh mee before we had to go, and it was goodbye Asia, Hello Melbourne! I had a fantastic time and hope I can do it again soon! Defiantly miss the people and the food, but I was glad to be home, and in a house with less then 15 people!

Adrian and I getting our feet eaten by fish.... it tickled!

Sunday: An early wake up was not too much of a hassle, but upon arriving at Reneés house it’s quite obvious that it is a hassle to everyone else, and their huge amounts of bags and extra belongings. After a very pleasant drive down to Sorrento with Sinea an hr family, there was a very delicious lunch, in the band pavilion/ rotunda/ gazebo. Finally getting to the house, we were greeted with a extremely agreeable abode, choosing our sleeping accommodations and settling in was our first task, next was the shopping.
The shopping trip was most eventful as not everyone was in agreement of what to buy, it was most hilarious and highly amusing, even more amusing is when Mel thought it was a brilliant idea to ‘borrow’ one of the trolleys from IGA and then proceed to swap it for a bigger one at Foodworks, and wheel it home, what a site!
Unpacked and ready to party, is exactly what we did! Well it was slowed by the old man who told us to turn down the music, at what 9 o’clock; hmm at least he didn’t bother us for the rest of the week. There were 9(?) girls there the first night
So that night was highly eventful, we peaked a bit early as there was a lot of drinking and a lot of singing and a lot of… silly behavior, and a large amount of swearing from grace, which I was most impressed with, and a bit of puking…. quite a bit. I won’t o into great detail, but some people just need to learn to hold their drink, I mean seriously, either that, or you know stop drinking when you feel sick. It was not a pleasant experience but an experience to look back on none the less, what I have learned. 1) Don’t get stupidly drunk and pass out on the bathroom floor then on the mattress affectionately know as Mel’s mattress. 2) I don’t really squirm at the sight of other people’s vomit, which to popular belief doesn’t always contain carrots.

Look what I found!

I feel so completely 'blah' at the moment as if my whole life consists of thinking to the future; deadlines, career options, travel dates, flight details, schoolies plans etc. It wasn't until I read something that pointed out to me yesterday that I suddenly realised that I haven't lived in the moment for so long and its about time I started again. Sure its nice to think ahead sometimes but if you do it too much, you miss what is going on right now and never actually enjoy anything.

For me thing has drastically halted, the pace has slowed and I have time on my hands, it's been a very long time since I looked at my hands and and found time.

As for worrying, have you noticed how a good 85% of things always end up working themselves out no matter how much you worried about them at the time? I usually remind myself of that when a problem arises - it really isn't worth it ... 'Que Sera Sera' and 'Life goes on' and all that.

Of course, knowing these things and actually putting them into practice are completely different things altogether. I'm definitely going to aim at trying though.

I awoke at about 9:00am , looked at the time and thought screw it I'm staying in bed. Then at 12 family started to raise themselves and move into the kitchen for breakfast, Bacon and eggs.. hmmmm heart attack food! We haven't had breakfast as a family for about 4 weeks, it was nice, loud, very loud and a little bit squishy even though our table is 8 feet long, i think we were trying to get near the toaster.

After I watched a little bit of YouTube Live which was interesting, and quite well pulled off. They boys bought this drink which is a beer, except all the aspects of the taste of beer has been taken out and it is flavoured, Raspberry, tasty. I went next door learnt to make earrings, then played ball with Milos, now my arm hurts and I think I have bruises on my tummy from the ball hitting there.

Tomorrow, if the weather is nice we are going to have a Bon fire to burn all our year 12 stuff, yes i know not very environmentally friendly, but we are only doing half!

Then it is schoolies on Sunday, hmm i really should pack I'll start tonight putting things it a box or something.
