My ramblings about Sheryl's last post.. I was going to type in the comments section but it's so hard to see on this screen. :)

With the arrival of Ethan, your nephew Aidan will probably start to get jealous (more or less) of his baby brother. I studied Child Psychology for a little bit anyways although I don't think I have enough knowledge to really give any professional advice but I do remember some of the phases of Child Development. Ausubel's theories on Satellization, Desatellization and Resatellization (although on the net there's some difference to the defnition of the phases I learnt in a textbook). There is two more step before Satellization which is Self-Realization and Pre-Satellization.

The phases:

Self-Realization: Basically is the recognition of self. Acknowledging your own existence and recognising yourself in the mirror.

Pre-Satellization: This is where the toddler thinks that world/universe revolves around him/herself. They know they need only cry and they will get parents running to them. They leave this stage when parents enforce rules. Such as saying "no" to the child's demands.

Satellization: The toddler reaches this phase when they revolve themselves (their world) around the parents. They start to do things to impress the parents. They seek recognition and 'pats on the back'.

Desatellization: Adolescence kicks in. They no longer neccessarily think that their world has to revolve around their parents. They have other 'centres' to revolve around: friends or teachers.

Resatellization: Young adults reach this phase when they start having families. Some of us yearn for this but I think Resatellization is being postponed due to career advances these days.

Your nephew Aidan is entering Satellization from Pre-Satellization or has just entered Satellization. If I remember correctly if a new Sibling arrives around this time, the child entering Satellization may not enter it properly and will take some of the Pre-Satellization characteristics with him/her and become a difficult child. He/she will misbehave to seek attention from his parents. There's a simple solution to this and that is get the child involved with helping out with the new baby. By helping out with the new baby, the child will 'satellize' around not only the parents but the new sibling as well. The child would fulfil his/her needs at this phase and will not need to seek attention by misbehaving. Actually this Satellization phase is quite important, if not entered correctly the child can be quite difficult to manage. Spoilt children are believed to not enter this phase at all. They remain in the Pre-Satellization phase and from some of the people I've met, I think some remain in this phase all of their lives hehehe...

Of course this is only a theory and very general...and human behavioural development probably could not be summarised in just these phases...

Anyways I'm not a Child Psychologist so I should really shut up...I can't believe I can still remember this kinda stuff... maybe I should've studied Psychology... but then I don't really like collating and processing statistics...

Who'd think that people would be bored enough to make prank calls during business hours?!

I've just picked up 2 calls from a lady (I think) with a fake curry accent. It could've been a guy disguising his voice. I can barely hear the first call. All I heard was "business....kicked....want....penis...are you gay or girl?" So I hung up.

About a minute later, the phone rang again:

me: good afternoon ..*blahblahblah*...... how can I help you?
lady: hello, your bissiness came to my house yesterday and kicked my dog
me: what the...NO?!
lady: you want to suck my penis?
me: stop making prank calls! *hangs up*
......

boss: what was that about?
me: prank call accusing us for going to their house & kicking their dog yesterday
boss: oh... *gives me a O_o look*
.....

what would boss do if I said "you have a penis?" to lady on the phone.
.....

ahh, thank goodness it's friday!!

I know i'm gonna regret making this post....i'll probably delete it b4 anyone has a chance to see it...but here goes...

As some of you guys may know, I've been doing belly dancing for about a year now. And although i'm crap at it, my teacher has roped me into performing at our next workshop. (For those who are gagging right now, dont worry, i wont be doing any ass/boob shaking). The workshop will be held on Sunday the 6th July and costs would be around $15-20. Its over 2 hours long and there will be tea/coffee and cake. All the money raised will go towards charity. If i remember properly, its for World Vision Iraqi woman and children who have been suffering from the war. There will be a live band and we were able to get one of the best belly dancers in Australia to come perform. From what i understand, my teacher might be giving out mini lessons on the day or something along those lines. I am not sure yet. As i said, we are still planning it.

So for those who are interested in seeing me make an ass of myself, or just to see some different styles of belly dancing, let me know and i'll book tickets. The prices arent confirmed yet, as we are trying to get numbers before we set the price.

In summary:

1. i WILL NOT be shaking my ass/boobs aka Shakira...it'll be a veil dance :P
2. NO CAMERAS!! Anyone i see walking in with a camera/video camera/digital camera or ANY device that can record what i do will be terminated on the spot. This will involve hot pokers and a very blunt and rusty knife. Possibly a 6000v cattle prod as well...
3. ITS FOR CHARITY!

Today I was at Burwood - No, my blog entry isn't about my Sunday afternoon - I was at the Bookstore next to the cinemas reading their selections of magazines whilst I waited for my movie to start. For a while I didn't see anything really interesting and then I saw the Scientific American magazine. It had on its cover "Parallel Universes" (I actually found the same article on its website).

Attracted by the cover I proceeded to pick up the magazine and looked up the cover article. According to the article, astronomical observations have led scientist to strongly believe that Parallel Universes do exist. However, the closest twin galaxy would be 10 to the 10²⁸ meters from our galaxy. The article simplifies the theory and argues that since Space itself is infinite there is high probability that there exists not only one parallel universe but also infinite ones. Infinite numbers of you and me with the same appearances, names, memories, playing out an infinite number of permutations of the choices made throughout our lives (sort of like the movie Sliding Doors except on the scale of infinity). That really got my brain thinking (contrary to what some of you may think - yes my brain does do a lot of thinking!). Thinking about all those possible me's was fun about maybe somewhere out there, there is a me who is ruler of the world. Actually according to this there'd be an infinite number of me ruling the world - how scary or maybe wonderful since there would exist a me who would be a great ruler of the world and people would love me because I'm such a good Emperor.

Alas, my thought bubble popped as another one of my thoughts appeared (due to the lack of infinity in my brain). I thought for a moment about Space and how infinite it was, but then I thought about Matter in Space, I don't think that matter is infinite in space (although I could be wrong [ref. Big Bang Theory]). Space = nothingness, Matter is what makes things 'exist'. So if there is a finite amount of Matter, there could not be an infinite number of us playing out infinite versions of our lives. From this article I think there probably does exist many many parallel universes out there (that are infinitely far away), although I don't think there are Infinite amounts of these parallel universes. Okay that's my 2.2 cents (GST included).

Thought I'd share something with you guys:

The website below is quite a 'smart' system, you think of a tv show or movie and it'll ask you 'yes/no' questions. You answer its questions and eventually it'll find the movie or tv show you were thinking about. Most of the time it's pretty accurate. Good resource to use if u can't figure out a movie. *smiles*

Hello World

TGIF...i hope this weekend will be sunny!...

A work mate sent me this...i think the guys will have lots to comment...but my luck is that NO ONE will comment, as usual! =P

One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly came upon a large raging, violent river.
They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so.
The first man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength to cross this river."

*Poof!*

God gave him big arms and strong legs. And he was able to swim across the river in about two hours, after almost drowning a couple of times.

Seeing this, the second man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength and the tools to cross this river."

*Poof!*

God gave him a rowboat and he was able to row across the river in about an hour, after almost capsizing the boat a couple of times.

The third man had seen how this worked out for the other two, so he also prayed to God saying,
"Please God, give me the strength and the tools and the intelligence to cross this river."

And *Poof!*

God turned him into a woman. SHE looked at the map, hiked upstream a couple of hundred yards, then walked across the bridge.

I was watching Sunrise this morning and they were showing behind the scene footages for the Broadway production of the lion king!!! It's opening night at Chicago and the costumes and dancing looks fabtabulous. Been waiting a long time for a big musical like this, it's going to be huge. Tickets would definately be over $100 even for concession. If you've never seen a musical at the theatre before, I suggest you come because it would be a hell of a first time experience. Also since everybody is familiar with the lion king story, I know you'll enjoy it!

  
Oh I just can't WAIT to be king~!

Hi guys,

Today is Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. So even if your not into having morning teas, please donate to the cancer council! And for those who still arent convinced, donating money makes you look prettier *^_^*

Rise of the Metrosexual

"They're spending their time differently - not only occupying more of it in front of the mirror but also shopping at boutique stores, drinking at bars rather than pubs, enjoying a dance at a nightclub and going to beauty salons. Cosmetics brands such as Ella Bache say men make up as much as 40 per cent of their salon customers in some areas."

"Men of all sexualities are taking a greater interest in their appearance. They go to hairdressers rather than barbers; avoid using soap because it's too harsh on their skin; visit the gym instead of playing sport and even have difficulty deciding what to wear." (the age)

This is beginning to sound very familiar. Guys who fuss about what to wear for THE NEXT DAY. I know a few of those. They moisturise, exfoliate and tone more often than I do, it's a good thing. It's not gay, it's metrosexual.

Message of the Day:
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.
Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown
but, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and Bitch-Slap the M*****F***** in the head!

Have you ever pondered about...

Why did human fingers evolve in different sizes?

Due to the fact our bodies contain an assortment of odd-sized orifices, we need to have an assortment of finger sizes that enable us to probe them.

Gordon Eyre, Hornsby

oh, ofcourse!! probing orifices!! Ha, how come that particular theory of evolution didn't occur to me when I get such a rich assortment of real life demonstration after walking around Cabramatta for 15 minutes? Fingers, thumbs, pinkies 'probing', getting jammed/lost/deep inside asian noses, ears and other bodily holes.
This next one sounds a little more likely and practical.

The hand revolves around the middle finger, the toughest and longest, which is its axle. Muscles radiate from it and give us grip. The thumb, used with the index finger, enables us to pick up a pin, which only humans can do.

Paul Robert, Lake Cathie

Anyone have any theories/answers to these 'big' questions?

- Is it cheaper to leave lights on, if I am going in and out of a room, or to turn them on and off?
- If you catalogued the Bible, would it be regarded as a work of fiction or non-fiction?
-I have noticed some Asian tourists giving the "V" sign with their fingers when they are having their photos taken. Why do they do that?
- When is the immediate future?
- What is the difference between a government and a regime?
- Why is the abbreviation for number "No." and not "Nu."?

(questions taken out of smh)

In regards to the comment Mey made about last nites movie "The Emperor and The Assassin".

Me...i found a video to tape it...i watched about an hour of it and then i couldnt keep my eyes opened anymore...and since i had to wake up for work early in the morning...i thought to myself..."put alarm on at 12:30am and i can turn vcr off...then go back to bed when i finish recording!"

My vcr was stuffing up.
-_-

i got woken by my alarm...went to rewind a bit and check the quality...too bad it was all fudging FUZZY!!!!
grrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrrr

when i hit record, it didnt record...the fuzziness is the video tape being untouched...

to me the movie was beautifully filmed...the cinematography was excellent...it reminded me of how smooth hero was...
the fight scenes in the first hour (the hour i was actually awake for) was good....and i tend not to like watching fight scenes like that.
i like all the backstabbing that occurs...very intriguing...but thats for the first hour...and i can handle movies that are slightly slow in development ie "il mare"...but i think its worth the wait...

i woke 5 mins before the end and i just saw the confrontation between the Princess and the king of the Qin Dynasty, when she wanted something back from him. (dont worry, im not revealing much by saying that)

if anyone taped it, can i please borrow the video to double tape it...i'll get my sis-in-law to do it for me! -_-
cos my stoopid-ass vcr wont be able to handle it...amazingly tho, it was able to record "il mare".

*^_^*

miss vicki: if u buy the vcd, can i please borrow and burn it??? my lil bro saw parts of the fight scene and cos he thought i was taping it...he went to bed and missed the bigger fight scene.

Everyone, i'd like to inform you guys about a few new comers to the blog.

Dubby duck (billy) : One hell of a cool bloke.
Julie : Sweet Julie, everyone knows her right? She's a gem.
Martin : Also very cool, down to earth. You are now officially a blogger :P

Blogger is a fairly recent thing that was introduced to the internet.
2001 - "Blogging invented. Promises to change the way people bore strangers with banal anecdotes about their pets"

Make them feel welcome :D

:: Mothers Day ::

G'day.
I haven't written any posts lately because I felt that the time would have been better spent studying or doing uni related work. Clearly in denial, I just engaged myself in other forms of procrastination anyway.

I actually wanted to talk about Mums in this particular entry instead of the usual ranting and raving on about me, me, me!!!
I think they deserve to have a chapter in our communal blog dedicated especially to them.
It was Mother's Day on Sunday, 11th of May. A day reserved to stop and not only acknowledge, but to appreciate and realise the amount of hardship and dedication that is required to be a mother.
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have used the word 'required'. Does it come naturally when somebody enters motherhood to be so strong and nurturing? I'm sure if I asked everybody to say something about their mothers, the answer would be something like, "she's the best mum in the world that anyone could ask for!". I have the same sentiments about my mum too.

My mum was a mother of two by the time she was in her late teens/early 20s. That was pretty standard for the people in their generation, especially in Vietnam and other Asian countries. Nowadays, if a girl becomes a mother in her teens, people would think 1. her life's gone down the drain, what a waste, or 2. she can't possibly be ready to become a mother. How do you prepare yourself to be a mother? I think maybe they mean financially. It's expensive to raise a child. My mum tells me stories about her life in Vietnam sometimes, she said to me once that after she had my brother Yui, she went back to playing skipping ropes with the other girls. Skipping... she was only a girl.... but still, she turned out to be a really great mum.

I don't know if you've noticed Yui, but every morning there's always a pair of slippers positioned right outside your bedroom door, facing out so your feet just slides comfortably into the slippers on your way out? It happens to me too. Sometimes even when I end up going to bed late, I usually wake up with my pair of pucca slippers outside my door, neatly placed together facing out. The little things she does.

The night before Mother's day, I gave her a pampering session. Washed her hair, blow dried it, gave her massages and a facial. She also used the foot spa Yui and I got her. I wonder if she knows how much we appreciate her and everything she does for us.

Everyday should be mother's day.

Hi Guys,

There is a restaurant up the road from my work in Crowsnest that does a "Host a Murder" dinner. The company that organises this actually hosts it in a few locations around sydney including various hotels in the city, parramatta, north sydney, penrith etc etc. The price are slightly different depending on where u want the party hosted but its approximately $65pp. ($40 for a 3 course dinner and $25 for the guy hosting it. There are some places that charge around $50 though). I've heard that the restaurant near my work has great food and i've also had a look around the private function room we get and its nice and funky. Basically what happens is, you get assigned a character and u come dressed as that character (You dont have to but lets get into the spirit of things). When you arrive, your presented with the rules of the game, a map and a video with the scenario and you have to find out who is the murderer before the end of dinner. There are 6 themes you can choose from. Since i am a big buffy fan...i wouldnt mind the vampire theme ^_^ You cant drink alcohol when we are playing though incase someone gets drunk and spills the beans hehehehe. If anyone is interested, i'll see if i can organise something. Its a minimum of 10 people to organise one.


Choose one of the following themes

1. ROMAN RUINS
The famous Roman poet Flabius Corpus invites you to his latest Poetry Recital.
On arrival his guests find his body in the garden...Stabbed in the back and the buttocks. Pottery fragments in his hair, marble fragments around his body, and with three broken ribs. Who killed poor Flabius?

2. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE GUILTY
You are cordially invited to the public hanging of the 'Monovalent Seven' - a group of callous scum who have been victimising our Beloved County for years. The judge Waylon Payne will reside over a dinner before the public hanging.

3. WATERSDOWN AFFAIR
Sir Roger invites his friends to his mansion for the reading out of his new Will. On arrival they find Sir Roger dead - drowned in his swimming pool. Three Wills have been drawn up...who wrote the Wills and who killed Sir Roger Watersdown?

4. BBQ WITH THE VAMPIRES
Who is turning the good citizens of Jugular Springs into bats? Find our when you attend Killian Killagens BBQ at his spooky castle.

5. THE LAST TRAIN FROM PARIS
A lot like Murder on the Orient Express with a brilliant twist. Find out who killed Fiona Fatale ...the mysterious person in cabin number 9.

6. THE MAINING OF THE SHREW
It is the twelth night of Christmas and William Sheepshear and his beloved wife Katheter DeVane have invited you to dine at the Glib Theatre. Instead of the stage being covered with a feast it is covered with blood stains. What mournful foul deeds have been done here?

Most of you have probably read this...but i'm in one of those moods today so i thought i'd post it anyway. Enjoy.

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home from the war.
He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend
I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty
badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a
leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."


At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!! There's a miracle called Friendship that dwells in the heart. You don't know how it happens, or when it gets started. But you know the special lift it always brings and you realize that Friendship is God's most precious gift! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Anyone interested in catching Chicago at the Open Air Cinema at Homebush???

Open Air Cinema at Homebush

Hi guys!

To all the people who were considering the "Eroica" symphony...i found a pamphlet in the Sunday Telegraph for 3 shows for $120.
It included Eroica as one of the symphonies u can choose to purchase...basically, u pick 3 shows u want to enjoy...and it costs $120. I'm actually quite interested in buying this package, as one of the shows that i would absolutely love to catch is Australia's own James Morrison - world class trumpeter of Jazz music.

There is also others to choose from, like a symphony comprising of the scores that were played as soundtrack to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"... i will edit this blog to include the rest...i just forgot to bring the pamphlet with me today. -_-
But basically i can order everyone else's packages too...so if anyone is a lil bit interested...tell me, please! As i think this is worth it for the price that it is to see 3 symphonies.

~pet

The picture below is a snap shot of a movie called, "better luck tomorrow". He has a resemblance to our very own YUI KHOU!!!
Don't you think?? :P




Yes! The one in the middle! OH u are so movie star material, Yui! :p

Christine & Mey: I'm sorry my dears, I don't think I'll go to SuperJesus tomorrow. I know I keep doing this again and again, but there's just too much crap happening. I can meet up with you guys for a while tomorrow for a drink/dinner or something. If not, I'll see you girls at Skirmish next week. Chris, can you sell my ticket to Sheryl's friend? If you can't sell it, it's ok, I'll pay for the ticket. Let me know when you need the money.

Sheryl: Does your friend still want a ticket to SuperJesus? She can buy my ticket off Christine.

Have fun tomorrow :)

scathing? of course not, but...

you sit around scratching your head, you've read the same book so much you've even remembered what the preface says. pick up a new one, don't throw out the old one though, pick up and build up.

tilde.

what cultured beasts we have here on this blog. agreed. indeed.

Just speaking for myself, I do feel the need to be more cultured. Like sheryl mentioned, it could be the quarter-life crisis thing. As for the opera house, symphonies and the orchestra, I do occasionally listen to the popular bach, mozzart, pachabel, beethoven stuff on mp3. I haven't actually been to the Opera house to listen to symphonies performed live by an orchestra. In fact, I have never stepped foot into the opera house at all!
Because i've never been, I don't know if i'll actually appreciate and experience the beethoven classical pieces for what they really are.
I'm not about to spend money on something that would make me appear to be more cultured than I really am.
However, whenever there are street performances with quartets or groups that play classical pieces, I absolutely enjoy it. I could stand there for hours if they were to play for that long.
What am I trying to say? fact is, I don't know a great deal about Beethoven. I just don't want to feel like a fraud by being enthusiastic about going to see his masterpieces being performed, not really knowing what to expect... although at the end of it all, it may be quite an experience regardless.

I think sometimes we may feel a little foolish exploring these 'cultural activities', but at least we're in on it together :P We're still learning about ourselves so I do think it's quite a healthy and fun discovery process. We wouldn't be able to keep this up if there weren't a real interest to begin with anyway. So, to the opera house we go? :D

Here is a freebie that i think is worthwhile...and im just putting it up again for those who miss it on the tagboard!
*^_^*

http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/events/art_after_hours

For 2003, the Art Gallery NSW is opened after normal opening hours on Wednesdays.
What makes going to the Art Gallery at nite a really interesting thing is that they have a live jazz band playing and a symphony band also playing, at different times though. So, while u walk around and appreciate the works of art...there will be beautiful music playing in the background...and its all FREE! ;)

Hehehe. This blog has turned into a, What's On page! I can't afford to do everything that is listed. I think we gotta come up with a Things to do under 20 bucks, along with a cheap eats section.
I'm supposed to be catching up on some studying I managed to abandon over the 1 week mid-semester break, but instead I'm reading the latest issue of Cosmopolitan. "Fat, thin, fat, thin. How to finally escape the yo yo diet". Almost feels like i'm reading something I wrote myself. "My name is Mey, and i'm a serial dieter".
I've been 'dieting' since I was in the 6th grade, back in 1993. Ten years later, still muttering the same old, "no more junk food" and "starting tomorrow I will..." lines to myself. I've always blamed it on willpower, just like the magazine describes, but they say it's simply a matter of consistency. The older I get, the more i've come to accepting that we all can't look like Britney Spears.
There are great guys out there that aren't purely superficial. But like they say, they're all taken or gay.

Check it out. It's very sweet! :)

I know I promised to give an update on Skirmish on the weekend, but I just don't have all the details yet & there's too much drama going on at home.

Ok, it's definite that I bring 3 people. It's about $28 - $30 per person. You have to pay extra for more balls. Where & time? I don't know yet. I'll probably find out next week or the week after.
Mey's coming (unless she changed her mind :P), so I have 2 spaces left. Let me know if you want to come asap. I don't want to drag this on for too long :D

EDIT:
Ok, I've just found out that I can bring another friend along. So that means 4 people altogether. I still have 2 spaces left. And it's definitely $28 per person :)

Further details about the Murder Mystery Weekend Away...
This is the one that I want to do the most out of the 3 urls that my friend sent me...its the one that I found when i was searching for things to do for my birthday weekend away.
Blue Murder in the Blue Mountains
You can also just do a dinner and show deal. So, basically we can go to blue mountains for the day and then for dinner stop by the restaurant and get dressed and act out the "who dunnit". No need to sleep over...except whoever wants to drink heaps, I would advise to sleep off the alcohol!
=P

Then there are these two:
Imperial Hotel...expensive one!

This is a Hen's Night version of it...so i think this one is out!

Please give me specific dates, cos even though u guys say end of semester...i derno when ur end of semester is! *LoL*
So, regardless im at a loss as to know what dates to try and book!
=P

Okies...

Boys and Girls...my friend is organising a whodunnit weekend away.
Its in the blue mts on the weekend and what happens is that each individual gets sent details of their character.
Then u go away on the weekend, and have dinner at a restaurant adjoined to the B&B and act out the murder mystery.
Its about $150 for the weekend, which pays for the 5 course meal and the hosting of the murder, accomodation and breakfast the next day.
We can also go bushwalking etc while we are away...
I have sent these details before, but since my friend brought it up again...she can organise it!
The problem is that we need 20 people to attend...but 20 people PARTICIPATING.
Cause we need everyone to actually come dressed as the character.

Comment on when you would like the weekend to be, Mey has already requested if it could be after semester...during the break. Which i think is ok...as we need to book it and the dates currently might be booked already anyways. Pass these details to anyone that you think would be interested!

I'll keep you guys posted on more details.

As for now, I have paid for and received the tix to superjesus for this coming friday for vicki, mey and me.
So, anyone joining superjesus that nite will see us there! ^_^

Avril Lavigne is one of my favourite female artists. She's going to perform at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on the 2nd of June according to ticketek.

I was really thinking of going to the Coldplay concert at the Horden Pavilion on the 21st of July. I should just choose to go to one, but i'll probably go to both.

Pricing is $69.90 for both category 1 and 2 for Avril's concert.

Favourite tracks :

Anything but ordinary, Losing Grip, My world, i'm with you, complicated, Falling down, mobile... err too many to list. I love them all!

I really, really wanna go. I'd even go by myself, but i'd prefer it if someone joins me~!

I'm bored. Still pissing rain outside. Wonder if I should still go see Xmen2 later. I need to buy a brolly if I do. Hmm... anyways, here are some 80s funnies for everyone :)

Worst joke of the 80s: How many letters are in the alphabet?
24...because E.T. went home.

Best joke of the 80s: Why did Michael Jackson fail to renew his contract with Pepsi?
Because he found out that the main ingredient was Bubbles!

Hear about the new band featuring Ronald Regan and Milli Vanilli? They don't remember any of the songs they didn't sing.

What do you call Pac-Man on drugs? Crack-Man!

Why was Michael Jackson grounded? He was "Bad"

What did Michael Jackson do when his hair caught on fire?
Beat-it!

What is Ronald Reagan's favorite pick-up line at a bar? "Uh, do I come here often?"

If Milli Vanilli fall in the woods, does someone else make a sound?
