random . . .

Airport camping! At Changi airport (Singapore) particularly in the wee hours of the morning, you'll find people sleeping on the floor, the couch in uncomfortable positions. Like one couple I saw the guy had his face partically in the chic's butt! I guess you can sleep anywhere when you're bugged.

Home for Christmas, to be surrounded by family & friends; food & drinks . . . and everything else that comes along with Christmas!

How ironic is it that in one part of the world (ie. Australia) there is a total fire ban & in another part of the world (ie. Malaysia) there's a flood alert! Can we say global warming . . . whatever it is, wha can we do to help?!

Would you rather jump off a cliff into a sea of sharks & onto a heap of jagged rocks?

well this is titled random . . .

early days . . .

Friday was fun with OCF friends, throwing an early Xmas party. Food, entertainment, games, gifts & carols! Plus catching up with the few I know from my OCF days.

Saturday threw an early birthday bash! Shopping for food & drinks in the afternoon before the nite begun. Coming home I thought I could rest before the party started, but than Chef A. Chu & G came in with hummm . . . curry chicken! Yes I was starving, so we heated up the curry & had it with bread. Thinking of a little sleep after but no go . . . had to help prepare the food for the nite! Found out that I have little knowlegde of chinese vege (got kai lan instead of choy sum, hahaha oh well). Before we knew it people started rolling in, so I went to get ready - shower, dressed, a little make-up & then out into the "crowd" late but hey its my party! muahahahaha! Hugs & kisses all round. Man, I love my friends! Awesome dress, great book, sentimental card & sweet-sweet nectar . . .

Chef A. Chu cooked up a storm; we had chicken & beef satay served with homemade peanut sauce, stir-fry vege with tender beef slices, fresh seafood noodles & spicy curry chicken - all this with wine, beer & spirits! Mich got a fantastic chocolate mousse cake, ohh it was the most sensational cake one could have ever had tasted - yummmmm. Candles were a little hard to blow out, kept on re-litting but no drama. It was an amazing nite; delicious tasting food, great sounding tune, excellent friends to drink with & party on . . . vodka tequilla vodka tequilla hahaha!

A. Chu, Saz, Ben, Annie & Baby Charlotte & Damo either stayed home/left for home/another party. The rest of us (Gav & G our designated drivers, Mich, Gwen, Ly & Mikey) headed off to Revolver for more drinks & to listen to a live gig which Gav's sister was the drummer in - heard it was Rock!

blank

Cheers to G, Mich, Gwen, Ly & Mikey for the awesome nite, who knows where I would have ended up that nite without all of you! Love you guys!

Sunday the clean up!

a problem many tears mixed emotions, just another great way to end
gotta work it out!

round the corner

Christmas is about a month away!
That's like round the corner & soon it'll be right at our door steps. Time really just flies by.
It only feels like yesterday that I started working, getting into charity gigs (runs, shave for a cure, etc), made a new friends that have added to the spice of life, so many more interesting & exciting events just in this year.

Now its to think of Xmas presents, send off Xmas cards & have loads of Xmas functions in the next couple of days . . . the calendar has been filled with Xmas dinner functions with old friends, work mates, new friends, Caroling events. But there is of course other parties to go too before Xmas! However the world doesn't stop as Christmas rolls by cos then there's New Year's & life keeps bringing on the awesome & interesting challenges with the tiresome & labourous task we tend to dread. Life goes on! Hehehe . . . *grinz*

spring snow

Today in Melbourne in was hailing - fatarse chunky icy pops! And to think its spring . . . only a couple of days ago it was sunny & warm. Today its a top of 14 degrees, wet & very very windy. But don't get me wrong, this is after all Melbourne . . . we still got our four seasons in a day - the sun would pop out, showing off its rays, then the cloud would cover it & piss down. Standard Melbourne weather.

I reckon the weather men/women, would just have to stick their heads out the window to "predict" what the weather would be like.

Also heard on the news that it snowed in the Rat (aka Ballarat)!

culture

Last weekend, I reckon I was conned into going to a training camp for triathletes. I was asked it I wanted to go on a camp with his triclub frenz. Of course I assumed that it'd be a relaxing, sort of get away/get to know each other camp. But a couple of days before the weekend, I found out that it was a TRAINING CAMP! This is of course, Gav's idea (well on of his ideas) of a weekend away; early mornings spent either bike riding &/or running then an open water water in freezing cold salty water in the afternoon. I dont mind running or riding or swimming but I'd like to sleep in, especially on the weekends. *grinz*

Alrite it didnt turn out so bad. I had fun meeting his triclub frenz. But there is a certain culture that comes with being in such a club. For one, each other them has a nickname . . . so when they introduce themselves to me its Andrew but when they speak to each other its Arcon. And all their nics has a specfic meaning too!

Here's some others
Nathan - The Rock (cos he sinks like a rock in the water)
Bridget - Yoga (cos she can down a couple (aka 8) Yoga Bombs plus she shouted everyone)
Claire - Buster (I heard that she has been known to bust balls!)
Tammy - Feather (cos she runs as little as a feather)
Janine - 7-up (7 minutes older than her twin sister)
There's also Dr. Lactic, Greeny, Mac Daddy, JDI, Gillie, cant think of anymore but you get my drift . . . ! I had to figure out who Gav was talking about cos I know them by their birth not nicknames. Hahaha.

The other obvious thing with trialthetes is that their somewhat addicted to exercise . . . plus they can constantly speak of riding, running or swimming! Technique, times, types of training . . . Dont get me wrong its ok & interesting for awhile but it does get a little repetitive, alot of the time.

But like youths they can all party & drink! Hahaha 2 - 3 in their system & its decreased perception & jugdement b'cos of their physic it only takes a little to start feeling the effects . . . muahahaha! Hilarious!

Overall the weekend was tops.

spicing up life

We've been adding spice to life this month!

Mich, Saz & I (Gwen was suppose to join us but due to injury . . . nah!!) so we started salsa dancing & kiteboarding. Something elegant, something extreme!

Salsa dancing @ The Night Cat is like speed dating. Hehehe! But we had ultimately had an awesome time learning & getting to know the people there, like Damian (aka Damo). Hahaha!

We've had 3 lessons for kiteboarding & its been great to learning to control the kite, gain power from the wind with the kite & to body drag thru the water. I'm hoping to get to use the board this Sunday. I'd be sweet!! Plus once again we get to know the people there, like Jeremy (aka Archi boy)

All these names are for the benefit of Saz . . . *grinz*

Well its coming down to the end of the year really soon . . . which only means Christmas is soon. But we all know (or most know) that once Melbourne Cup is over (the first Tuesday of Nov) *blink* Christmas is here! *damn* Oh well, just have to enjoy what's left of the year. And I still can't believe how quickly this year has gone by with work, r/ships & everything else that got thrown my way. But still had to take the good with the bad & live life!

All the best for your assignments & exams
Know that you all can pull thru
With heads up high!

The Ten Last Things a Man Would Ever Say . . .

1. I think we're lost, we better pull over & ask for directions.
2. Honey, do you need any help?
3. While I'm up, can I get you drink?
4. Sometimes I just want to be held!
5. We haven't been to the mall for ages, let's go shopping & I can hold your purse.
6. Who cars about Monday Night Football, let's watch Opera.
7. Sure I'd love to wear a condom.
8. I think hairy butts are really sexy.
9. Her legs are too long.
10. I think he is one cool guy.

Oh so true . . .

two nuns

There were two nuns...
One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM),
and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL).
It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.
SM : Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.

SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.

SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most! What can we do?

SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.

SM: It's not working.

SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.

SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.

SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.


Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.
Then Sister Logical arrives.

SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!

SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me

SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.
SM: And?

SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me

SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?

SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.
................................. [love this graphic!]
SM: Oh, no! What happened then?

SL: Isn't it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than man with his pants down. And for those of you who thought it would be dirty, say two Hail Marys!

its been awhile . . .

if you like someone would you

1) run like the wind
2) shy away
3) flirt with them & get they number
4) ask them out

hahaha . . . curious!

So once you're in it . . . what will it take to realise that its "bloody" hard

One very loved person told me that if you ignore the person's negative traits which is more than likely about half of the person's being . . . then why be with the person at all. Cause wouldn't you want the whole person!?!?

So you basically I figured if you want something to work you gotta to take the bad with the good!

Sometimes you'll wonder why & feel like backing out of it . . . looking for greener pastures. But the truth is from where you're standing the grass is always greener on the other side. It still doesn't mean that it really is, it just depends on how willing you are to take care, nurture & grow it on your side?!

love you!

For all those men who say, "Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free?"

Excuse me, do you have Band-aid?
I skinned my knee when I fell for you. (hahaha...!)

Was your Dad in the Air Force?
Because you're the bomb. (humm...try hard!)

Life without you is like a pencil without lead, pointless. (needs to get out a little more)

I'm a genetic engineer and I need to utilize your body for a stem cell experiment.
It shouldn't hurt too bad. (seriously get out of the lab)

My love for you is like diarrhea; I can't hold it in. (yhew!!)

I think I've seen your picture somewhere.
Oh yes, it was in the dictionary under SHA-BAM! (corny!)

You're so hot that you make the sun jealous. (rite!)

Do you know what the square root of 81 is?
(Hopefully they say nine)
Oh, then you are not just another pretty face. (hope it works out, if you use it)

I lost my teddy bear.
Can I cuddle with you instead? (nice try!)

You're so hot you melt the elastic in my underwear. (hissss....)

Hey c'mon now, I'm ugly, you're ugly, it's perfect. (ohhh....that's bad)

Can I borrow your library card, because I'd like to check you out! (that can go either way)

I should call the police because you're stealing my heart. (speechless)

I can't wait until tomorrow. Somehow you get prettier every day. (wat a line! it could work)

If wishes came true I'd be having dinner with you tonight. (to the point!)

My personal favourite:
If I told you that you're body was hot.
Would you hold it against me? *grinz*

hilarious

What do you find funny? I mean side-piercing funny!

ONE

What the opposite of shop-lifting? Well a shop-lifter is a person who steals goods that are on displa in a shop, after entering as a customer! So the opposite of that is a person who leaves the goods on display in a shop, after paying as a customer. True.

Well some of us may have had this experience. Going into a shop, paying for the item leaving in a rush but absence-mindedly leaving the purchased product on the counter. That's not the funny thing, today we saw a little Chinese lady leave the butchers' without her pork. She was on a mission to get to her next destination, pulling her trolley. After calling out to her, that she had left her paid meat, she hurried back into the butchers.

Then one of my fren gave this wierd & hilarious combo of a grunt & a giggle like "i-never-knew-that-there-are-others-just-like-me". And the rest of us started laughing!

TWO

Wedgies! We all would love to do it an unexpected fren/relative/unfortunate individual of choice. But is it fail-proof?! Well it isn't . . . here's one instant.

Standing at an ATM, after withdrawing cash, as you do from an ATM. A mischievous individual creeps up to his fren & yanks his mate's underwear. Hoping that he'll pull his pant so far up the creek that it'll never see daylight again.

RIP!!! People around the atm other perdestrians must have heard it too. But fortunately for the victim, he was wearing paper thin underwear, and as his mate yanked his underwear, he finger ripped through the underwear! Unfortunate for the underwear, but very fortunate for the victim. *wink*

Ahhh . . . always up for a laugh!

living MY life

Lots have been happening in Chaz's world.

Unfortunately, all I can say for now is that I'm loving it!

Work, live & play!

Deep thoughts . . .

. . . for those who take life too seriously

1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
2. A day without sunshine is like... night.
3. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
6. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
7. He who laughs last thinks slowest.
8. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
9. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
10.Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
11.A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
12.Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
13.If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
14.How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
15.OK, so what's the speed of dark?
16.When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17.Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
18.Every one has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
19.How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
20.Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
21.What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
22."I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
23.Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
24.Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.
25.Just remember - if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
26.Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright...until you hear them speak.

Bullwinkle, Rambo looks like he wants something

Jasmine & Captain hook

Austin Powers: Ya, baby! Ya!

soccer or football

Does it really matter!? Its the love of the game that brings us all to watch on the edge of our seats, biting our finger nails & praying for our team to score a goal of glory - to bring their team onwards to the final & eventually to win the cup!

I'm setting my heart on Brazil & England as well as Australia . . . how can I not!?! Come on Socceroos you can do it!

So far England has won their first game against Paraguay (1:0), where Beckham took the shot but it was Gamarra who accidentally deflected the ball scoring an own goal 4 minutes into the match. From there Paraguay attacked but to their demise England's defenses were stronger; goal-keeper Paul Robinson made a couple of spectacular saves!

This will probably see England going against Argentina in the 2nd round . . . we'll have to see how that goes! Argentina vs Cote d'Ivoire (6am Oz time, today).

love the game
feel the passion
expect the unexpected

32 teams, 1 cup
