rebound, slumdog, matsuko

went to the finders keepers markets on saturday and got this! (kinda sad since there weren't any old frankies to be bought. and just found out that the back issues are mucho expensivo)

it's a "little golden book" (the ones you see in coles, bookshops for kiddies and has the golden edges) made into a journal by Rebound - btw i just realised that "twothousand.com.au" is cos sydney's postcodes are 2000 something. and there's a threethousand.com.au for melbourne!!!!

anyways.

yesterday was the slumdog millionaire advanced screening at paddington's palace verona cinema - the fundraiser for the RSPCA - and just as expected, there was A LOT of old people. probably only a handful were youthful. and it was so cute how before we went in they gave a small paperbag with biscuits or timtam and jellybeans XD

the movie was really good. i read that it won 3 awards at the BAFTAs - best director, film, upcoming actor - but since atonement won lots and it was kinda boring at times.. didn't want to get my hopes up. but no. there wasn't any boring bits in fact EVERYTHING was good. but since i suck at writing out a synopsis, go to twothousand.com.au's review on it.

oh and also i'm watching this new jap series called "bloody monday" about this hacker who helps save japan from a biological terrorist attack. ahhh addictive.. and just realised the main actor's the guy from koizora - the crazed movie which i haven't watched because it sounds too dramatic.

AND (hahaha keep forgetting things) memories of matsuko (kiraware issho no matsuko) was good too!

the story is this guy "sho" (played by eita!!) who's told by his dad to clean out his auntie matsuko's house because she has died (murdered actually) but he doesn't know anything about her since according to his dad, she was removed from the family and her life was meaningless.

and so the whole movie is duh "memories of matsuko" and i guess showing how her life's not meaningless. but it's not a soppy nostalgia, but more eccentric and laugh out loud funny at times (the characters, the musical scenes). At first though it's funny, exciting, empathy-causing, you're kinda wondering where the movie is gonna go, but the second-half makes sense of it all and it even becomes sad and touching.
can't really pinpoint the exact moment because then i'll spoil the unexpected-ness of the movie that makes it so good. and that's why i won't link any reviews of this movie since they're all too revealing.

and if you're very knowledgeable of jap culture, then the snippets of tv they show to represent the time period will be amusing. this jap guy sitting on the row behind was like "hikaru genji!" and "dango dango dango san kyou" in a soft excited whisper.

so..... yea watch these movies. 9/10 out of 10 as clearly described.

this is a very long post. so i've bold-ed the sections to help navigate.

nooooooooooooo harry potter and the half blood prince is moved to july 17 NEXT YEAR!! :"((((((((

btw. i can't get enough of smapxsmap!! and i just found yesterday a smapxsmap group on crunchyroll with frequent updates!!! hohohohohohhoohohohoh

my boss my hero

my next drama obsession!!! "my boss my hero" it's soooooooo funnnyyyyyyy!! less obvious funny compared to hana kimi though, but still laugh-out-loud.

story is: sagaki makio is a 27 yr old yakuza next in line to be the boss, but after he lost a 27 billion yen deal because he couldn't count the dad told him that he had to go to high school and graduate before he could be the next boss.

the guy's acting is so funny!! and the story is good too, not just full of idiotic happenings.

here's some screencaps!

slick yakuza hairhis underling (bald one) sewed it for him lolhe didn't want to get called up to the board, so he gave a death stare to the teacherlate to school, so had to do an aerobics routine, but he kept on saying "AGNES!" (school is "st. agnes") at the wrong time

so funny!! everyone should watch it on crunchyroll :D
btw, the guy is the singer/guitarist from tokio! and it's got the girl from papa to musume no nanokakan

waaaa asian movies/dramas!!

hehehehe i love them!

what i wanna watch:
bul go gi - stars ryuhei matsuda (ren in NANA movie) as a guy who's the son of a yakiniku shop owner, and then goes around to master the art of meat! (or something like dat)
sono toki wa kare ni yoroshiku (sonokare) - girl from proposal daisakusen, looks like another typical love story which means... that i shall watch it!

what i'm watching now : hana kimi (still) sooooooo funny!!

and i just watched 200 pounds beauty - the korean movie about this girl who worked as the voice for this super popular singer but lip syncer ami. den bla bla bla she has operation etc and ends up being a singer herself
not as gay as it sounds. so good! one of the best korean movies since a long time (i think).

ok bye.

i'm lovin' it!

no, not maccas.

what i'm lovin' currently!! here we go!
tensai! shimura doubutsuen - tv series with aiba (from arashi) he goes to zoos/wildlife parks around the world and does various tasks (amazing how natural he can be around the animals - once u watch u know what i mean - ..seemed like the animals knows he's a good guy or something!) one time he "tiger whispered" this tiger, and it came up to him! *whoa!*
and his engrish is so funny!! hahahahahah couldn't stop watching the episodes!! ah....

he doesn't look this serious in the show. apparently he's the animal lover in arashi. if u wanna watch the episodes (you should!!), go to youtube and type "tensai! shimura doubutsuen" from the user jayne85.
*update* just realised that he's not the only host! and here's the website.

hanazakari no kimitachi he - jap drama from the comic by hisaya nakajo. the guy who plays nakatsu (the one on the right) is sooo funny!!! "homo jane~" and the main girl is really perfect for playing mizuki!


and as always, the fat orange ball.

i love nodame!!

there's gonna be a nodame drama special in january 2008!! apparently they're going to have two consecutive episodes showing the paris arc of the story!! *waaaaaaaaa so excited!!!* but in 2008 :"( can't wait that long!!

and nodame cantabile volume 17 is #1 on the bestselling comics of the first half of 2007!!

(haven't been blogging cos i watched yakitate on the laptop, and staring at it too close - was still in bed after just woken up - and after that my eyes felt weird, couldn't focus on far away things.... got paranoid and didn't play comp all of yesterday! but still managed to play my ds hahahaha)

got scrabble today :D it was on sale in big w only $23.88! hoho!
and the john mayer piano book is on back order, but reserved already! can't wait!

it hailed!

-wrote the entry this morning at 9.41am-

Hahaha such an early entry ei! Woken up cos of the rain, but den wondered why the rain was making a “tok toktok” sound bashing against the window…so looked out and turned out it’s hailing!! It was actually cute seeing hail ‘balls’ jumping on the grass, sorta like ticks on a dog! (good comparison yep) Went out to make sure every window/door is closed, then as usual got a camera :D hahahahah wat de.


It only lasted a couple minutes, but there was enough so the grass was kinda covered, and there was a pile near the side of the backyard near the garage.

Anyways~

there’s so many new jap dramas!!! Here’s another one of my lists *yay lists*
still watching:
proposal daisakusen – the comp suddenly died when I only had another 7 minutes to watch, so I’m waiting till cc oni bring the dvd from indo, cos I’m not downloading it again (yes I stream it online)
btw, for those who watch it and know what i'm talking about, don't u wonder why ken doesn't get tired even though he's full on running every episode, and technically he's doing it all in one day only (cos he's still at the wedding)
liar game – waiting for the 3 hour finale to be subbed
hana kimi – actually different from the manga…more… dramatic? Was sano that annoying in the beginning I wonder. But the guy who plays nakatsu is so kakkoi! Hahahahahha . . . and I actually like horikita maki playing mizuki, cos she really does look like a guy with the short hair. A scene that I found really funny was when she was talking to sano, and then sano says something in the lines of ‘i’m not gay’ and then puzzled mizuki realises that she’s been standing with knees together like a girl while talking to him, instead of the legs apart like guys are supposed to do hahahahah.
I was so desperate to watch it I actually went on dailymotion.com and watched the version with the French subtitles! Turns out my French at school is very useful, I could actually understand what they were saying! But I’m not gonna read the French subtitles for liar game and proposal daisakusen, cos their dialogue has analysing stuff, so won’t even bother to try. And sadly…I know for sure sure that my jap is crap :”( cos I can only pick out singular words from their dialogue, but not what the phrases actually mean.

Yes. Harry potter movie in 2 days!! Ehehehe La Premiere~ come to me free popcorn~ *dances in grass field holding bucket of popcorn*

from may this year...

come back deepslumber88!!

noooooooooooooooooooooooo~
my contact on youtube that has been supplying me with all the good jap drama is no longer there!!!! her account has been suspended~ noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
my proposal daisakusen, my liar game
potential hana kimi and papa to musume no nanokakan supplier!!!! noooo...

sad day...
oh, saw a really cute sharpei at the petshop today!! it had long hair!!!! sooo cute!!! and also this really ugly cat with a squished face, but it meowed so cutely!!! "mew~" - in a really soft, baby-like voice *awww*

from april this year..
hahahahha jim davis is a funny guy

all relaxed~ (except still hv to cram piano stuff)

j'ai fini mes examens!!! (i've finished by exams!!!)

heheh all relaxed now~ can watch dvds til 6 every night : D
and got pretty good results so far so i'm satisfied. surprised i got 15 for my english speech, thought it was the crappest i've ever made, damn u english, the only subject that makes me wanna pull my hair out (my hair is falling out btw... so i'm gonna cut my hair next saturday at hanavie. cos my theory is. if my hair gets too long, it gets heavier obviously, so my root can't handle it and so it falls out. i'm gonna cut it short above the shoulder, bob-styled but layered. not like anyone cares... but yea that's the plan)

had school photos yesterday, and conveniently got bitten on the face by a mosquito the night before, so got red spots. (*-*)p

finished all the sudoku on my nintendo :D but there's something wrong with my supercard!!! i tried putting a new game in, but it couldn't, so i unplugged it from the computer, but when i turned it on the game was actually succesfully put into it, and it was too full...so i had to delete it again.
BUT, i can't access it in the computer!! so i had to format it and lose all my games which i played until the last few levels :"( BUT, i can't even format it!!! so now gonna have to give it to cc oni to take to indo and get it fixed :"( my games!!!!! *tear*

gonna have a birthday party on the 10th! hehe haven't had one since ages, dunno what we're gonna do besides eat, would it be weird to still play 'pass the parcel' etc? i remember i had face painting once at a party, but that was around 5 years ago. o well. hope no one gets bored.

anyhoo....cc monic got foxtel! so now she's recording tv shows for us :D i'm watching america's next top model season 2 and it's pretty good! for those who watch it... what's with camille!?? she's like an emotionless robot!!
and i watched pirates of the caribbean two days ago, it was soo long and hard to follow... i didn't think there was enough of johnny depp in the movie, and there was so many fight scenes and new plotlines etc etc etc. but good thing about it is of course the bits where captain jack is being his crazy self and his boat is carried onto the sea by little crabs that look like rocks. yes, those that haven't watched will hv no idea what i'm typing about.
suggestion though, better than watching that, watch pursuit of happyness! (it's mispelt for a reason. watch it!) one of the best movies i've ever watched, it really 'touches' you (not trying to be cheesy) but the movie really makes you empathise with chris gardner (the main character).... now i really wanna get the book *hehe waits for borders coupon*.

oya, and i got the dvd from the sydney morning herald with the david attenborough documentary episodes!!! i got the first episodes of the life of mammals, the life of birds, and trials of life sooooo good!!!!!! heheheh i still have one more to watch - the one i got last sunday : D
and also got this new clothe from glebe! finally something new - it's checked and got cute pockets :D

btw, i just read from manganews.net that hana kimi is gonna be made into a jap dorama cos the taiwanese one was so successful. but bad news, the main actress is horikita maki..... i don't find her that special... i'd rather some new unknown actress, instead of just who's popular at the moment. but still.. i'll be watching it when it's out on july 3rd : D
*just found out that sano will be played by oguri shun (rui from hana yori dango)....noooooooooooooooooo

and i got the gokinjo monogatari artbook!!! soooo cool!! and now i like to draw funny looking outfits like in the comic heheh
btw. i'm still trying to find mori daisuke songs.... why nowhere to download them illegally!?!? i'll buy the album later.... when he releases one, cos the singles are so expensive... -___-
oya, maroon 5's new album is good btw, especially makes me wonder, won't go home without you, and nothing lasts forever. and i found out that i actually have the original music score for beethoven's sonata pathetique, which i printed out a few weeks ago and therefore wasted 10 A4 pages, good thing i printed on both sides.

fart song

the fart exercise from nodame cantabile is gonna be released on a cd!!! omg
and yes, ueno juri (nodame's actor) is the one singing it hahahahahha how weird...
and it's gonna have puri gorota's theme song on it too!

*off googling the song*

here's the pic!

wasting time

yay i'm once again trying not to do my english task!!
been doing nothing but going on sites from this morning til now (which is 1 pm) proud of me cie?? heheh :D
eh, actually i analysed one of my article! but that only took 7 min.

BUT, i've found some good info regarding games and jap drama!! hehehe other stuff to distract me!! i could even be watching this new drama that i found, but no, i've decided to stay on track hahaha..

so let me share with u my findings!!
ouendan is releasing the sequel in may this year!!! and it's got a super long name, but i forgot, so i'll type it in later.

new drama called bambino starring arashi's matsujun based on a cooking manga! the story is about this boy who works in an italian restaurant and then something something something.... probably gonna be good :D

another jap drama called liar game which i discovered thanks to my contact on youtube :P
the main character is the girl who plays misa in the death note game and it also has that guy who makes tea and rides a motorbike in the hana yori dango drama.
anyways, the story is: the girl is very honest and gets tricked a lot, but one day she finds this box addressed to her infront of her apartment door, and she finds 100 million yen in it. there is also a note inside saying that she is invited to play in this game, and the game is: two people have 100 million yen, and they have to persuade the other to give them their money, so the winner will gain 1 million yen, and the loser is in debt for 100 million yen. her opponent turns out to be her old teacher (i think) and something happens and she accidentally loses (or is it gives) her money! so she takes the help from this newly released prison guy (which is that really weird looking hana yori dango guy i mentioned earlier) to get the money back
sounds creepy like death note!!

sounds interesting yes? yes.

i should start my 'task' which only my english class has -____-# (waaa nice angry face ei) it's about women and their roles. how exciting. i hv to write 5 a4 pages on how women's roles must change with the time, and to make it harder, we hv to be creative and write a feature article!!!! whyyyyy can't it be just a straight essay.......................!!!!

and i need to buy hay for the guinea pigs. their house is looking sad with just shredded paper.

oya, and i also hv the phoenix maths exam tomorrow lemme dieeeeee (not literally) i can't even do their homework!!

one more thing!! i just finished reading ai yazawa's manga gokinjo monogatari sooooo good and funny!!! better than tenshi nanka janai. it's about this girl named mikako and her group of friends bla bla bla and they go to this design school (she makes clothes). my synopsis doesn't sound interesting, but it is!! if u wanna download, go to www.vimanga.ru and it's under the name "neighbourhood story"
and now i wanna get the artbook called "welcome to the neighbourhood"!!!!

ok byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
(how come this post sounds like it has so much shouting ya... I KNOW! I KNOW! cella is trying to hide her anxiety about not doing anything productive!!! correct!)
wat de.

bio excursion and jap dramas

so. the biology excursion!!
went to long reef rock platform which took around 50 minutes from school. basically, we went to the rock platforms there and looked at the animals that were there. the first half was ok, cos we only saw the shelled animals, but there was those mini anemone things that close up when you touch them. we also tested the temperature, pH and salinity of the air and the ocean and rockpool water.
the second half was way better though! we did a 'catch and release' thing, so we had to find an animal and then draw a diagram and fill in some info about them. our group did it on a 'nudibranch seaslug' which doesn't sound that exciting, but it was this lemon yellow-white coloured slug with these wavy things on its back and it even had 'tentacles' that looked like a horn. yas found this 'sea hare' which was a HUMONGOUS slug which had a length of about 1.5 of my hand!!! it felt so gross and weird.....
there were also a crab and sea urchins, and it was the first time that i actually held the urchin it in my palm and felt it 'moving' with its spikes..
the excursion was really good and not pointless at all, but when we had to walk back from the first place to have lunch, it took like 20 minutes!! in the hot sun balancing on rocks. our shoes basically turned to sand.

jap dramas that i'm watching now:
dare yorimo mama wo ai su
told from the point of view of 11 year old 'kaoru' who thinks his family is really weird, cos his mom's a lawyer and his dad's a stay at home dad. the brother is a hairdresser and is like the big sister of the family, and the sister is rough like the big brother of the family..
the story's pretty simple, but the way it's told and the way the dad's character is portrayed is really interesting.
oya, and the dad is so much like a housewife!! and their neighbour is this weird black-wearing lady who's really messy and creepy looking.
hana yori dango 2 (no good photo found) - i want makino and domyoji together!!!! who cares about rui.

hehe just watched the video of "einstein" the smart grey parrot that appeared on animal planet's "pet star" ^__^ was he the parrot that can understand the meaning of "zero"..... i think so...

tsukareta~

today had a biology excursion to long reef rock platform, but that's for later, after i tell what happen from thursday evening onwards.

8/2/07
fed biscotti the free purina food that i got in the mail, and then took a really cute photo of her using her paw to get the food out!! hehe i knew she was gonna do that cos she was staring at the packet and started to move her front legs, so i quickly rushed to get the camera hehehe : D

spying at the food

*nyoinks*
9/2/07
had the year 11 reflection day (there's one every year, it's purpose is to 'bond' us together as a community..) at the 'chevalier centre' near the very nice church in kensington where kk vito got married.
the place is at the back of the seminary which was really big, spacious, and full of nice plants, but the hall itself is a normal size.

had a few activities, but the first one was sorta weird, it was like musical chairs, but when the music stopped you had to go 'back to back' or 'nose to nose' with your partner... nose to nose was weird, especially when the teacher demonstrated o_o...

anyhoo, the teachers gave us puzzle pieces, and when you found other people that had pieces to make the same puzzle, you formed your group; but my favourite english teacher from last year, gave the pieces out to people in the one area only, so after the teacher said "ok, find your group" we didn't really have to move around... haha wat de...
and i was in the sunflower group. so had usual activities from this booklet bla bla bla and at the end, you had to think of a talent or skill that you'd like to develop, and den they'd give you a flower seed that matches with your group name, and so that after you plant it and it grows, it's supposed to symbollise your skill/talent growing too (good symbolism ei!). i ended up having two flowers! cos ching didn't want hers, so now i have sunflower and marigold!

random thing which i thought was really funny: we were playing this game where you slap two fingers on the other person's wrist really hard, and when we went back into the hall from lunch, bekki and lisa said "can i do it to you?" to ching, and after she said "no", they started to hit her with their rolled up booklets!! ahhaha... yea it doesn't sound funny typed *sigh*.

went to borders at night cos i got a 15% off discount and got marley and me!! and when we were at the gloria jeans section, as usual with a huge pile of magazines on the table, this lady - which happens to be a teacher from school - just comes towards us, and goes through the pile and took some for herself to read!! i don't think she realised that the table was not a communal one.... but when i said "itu guru dari skolah lho" (that's a teacher from school lho) she turned around o_o"
oya, i got $1 discount cos the person at the cashier was getting frustrated at the slow computer which was stuffing up and typed the wrong price in :D

10/2/07
played brain age after two weeks of not playing, and my age dropped to 26!!!! :"(
piano was boring today cos we only talked about the facts and modulations on the bach piece..

then went home and watched the dog whisperer (starring cesar milan) and it was amazing how the dogs could feel his aura and suddenly become calm..
anyways, then went outside to play with the cats, and i was supposed to take this really cute photo of biscotti drinking water while lying lazily on the ground, but when i came back, she stopped drinking... but i ended up taking (what i think is) the best picture of biscotti ever!!! even though it sorta makes her look boyish..

tada!
and this photo makes her look cute..

i printed out nakashima mika piano sheet music later, but when i played it, they're sorta out of tune... not as good as i was expecting :"(

oya, say hello to chinta! i don't think she's appeared on this blog yet! she's standing up on two legs here cos she thinks i'm bringing her food..
and to the pigeon that comes everyday and eats the guinea pig food that falls on the grass.

ok back to blogging..

hehe been a while ne!
let's see....
on 26/1/07: woke up at 12:30 and watched "so you think you can dance" that cc oni recorded while i was at indo, then cie monic came and brought with her stuff from singapore :D. i got this 'moisture absorber' thing in the shape of a radish, so if it's too 'moist' from the humid air around, it'll turn into a pink colour, and you'll have to dry it in the sun until it returns to its original colour.. it's so weird but cute
also got mini highlighters in this jar and cute origami paper.


den went to eastgardens - coles and cc oni got a new phone!!! i want too :"( and it was only $100 for an ericson flip phone with colour and pretty good camera with mms and blue tooth *cries*
after that, decided to get dvds, so got "john tucker must die" not as funny as ppl say; "lake house" waay better than the super slow korean version; and "human trafficking" for cc oni and mama to watch...

at night, watched death note 'til episode 15 (it's so good!! i'll post a review of this later) and after, watched recorded survivor until 3am.. cc oni recorded every episode except for the double length last one... :@
den: guling guling until 5am.

27/1/07
watched hana yori dango season 2 episodes 1-2 and den showered at 6pm heheheh. i'll post a review of this drama too. it's soooooooo funny!! way better than the slow taiwanese version which i also watched.
spent the rest of the day watching recorded stuff on videos.

btw. i've given up on the daily garfield thing

i'm back!

yooho people~
i'm back since yesterday............
i'll blog about my trip, but since don't have the photos yet, i'll just start with the plane trip back and wat i've done since i've been here.

so plane trip from indo started with a very weird/creepy tv show on national geographic that we (mama, me, mel, julie) watched in the indo airport waiting room about exorcism... ya sounds scary rite...
the plane to singapore was ok, mel was being 'norak' going "whee *make a wave*" whenever the plane bounced a bit, and den it really did make a really huge bump my butt even lifted from the seat! anyways, the airport was crowded wen the plane wanted to land, so we were delayed for about half an hour - complaining that we only had about 10min to shop - but wen we got out of the plane, the gate was actually REALLY far, so we were all power walking, running, and eventually getting our week's worth of exercise... (but still had time to go toilet and buy alcohol -_-")
and since the other people on this plane did not have to transit like us, they didn't have to rush like us, and we were some of the last people to get on... and to make things worse, my trusty little green scissors that can cut through fabric got taken away!! wa~ i've been bringing it so many times in my pencil case but this is the first time they actually told me to take it out :"( i think when i took it out, the lady officer person was a bit shocked at how small it is, and so the boss guy felt the blade and decided that it 'could hurt someone' haiyah... felt a bit stupid, cos wen the guy told some other people to take it away (to be picked up at sydney airport) the lady officer was like "ini tutupnya" meaning "here's the lid".. yes, my dangerous scissors even had a safety cover thing!!!!

and so after being stressed/sad, got on the plane and realised our seats were on the side next to the kitchen area thing. good thing about it: close so can easily call stewardress if need; but bad thing: they're actually very busy than they seem to be, always going in and out, opening compartments, shutting and opening curtains so that when i'm trying to sleep the light from the kitchen would suddenly flash and then disappear repeatedly haiyah....
and the guy at the back of me could not stop talking!! omg and plus mama's seat infront of me was broken, so when she leans on it, it'll automatically lean to the back, so that the tv screen was really close to my seat and my movie looked all dark (the button to make it brighter was broken \*O*/)
oya back to the talking guy, his voice was soooo loud you could probably hear it a few rows infront of him, and he kept making stupid small talk with the person next to him "do you want a packet of nuts, the stewardess gave me like five packets" and wen the person said no thanks, a few sentences later, he asked again *gyaaaaah*
seemed like an overtly friendly person but still, why so loud...

his voice and the lots of (assumed to be) good movies, made me awake for the whole of the plane trip. first..... me and mel watched 'the black dahlia' cos it looked good and plus it's one of those hollywood movies with good reviews rite...? well...throughout the whole movie, we were like "do you get it? i don't..." and it had some pretty gross (both meanings - gory and eww in the boudoir - ) scenes and wenever it got to the really weird adult scenes, for some reason the stewardress with their carts and some other passengers stuck behind them, would be standing close to our seat... so i was like hmmmm uncomfortable - even though the scene was relevant to the storyline, they don't know that! -
and at the end of the movie, which was reallllly long, we still didn't understand why the person who killed the dahlia did so and i don't even know why she was called the black dahlia.... and i don't understand the relevance of the hilary swank character and why she did that other murder... so basically didn't get the movie at all..

okies den. next movie was 'the queen'. but eyes got sore, so gave up and tried to sleep, but couldn't, so about 2 or 3 hour before plane is supposed to land, decide to start watching again, this time 'the departed'!! yay finally a movie with easier to understand plot/dialogue. it was really good, but some scenes were so painful it makes you go *aahhhh... -wince-* and it was really tragic wen someone from the police force died (won't say who for those who haven't watched).
and near the end of the movie, those stupid announcements telling everyone 'we're gonna land soon' started interrupting the movie, and after, the ppl started going around collecting the headphones!! so i'm like fastforwarding and playing bits and pieces, and i was so shocked by wat happened it was like "wat..... den how??? isn't there a sequel???"

blablablablablaaaaaaaaaaaaa arrive at the airport... felt 'musical' wen i had to pick up koki's guitar and amplifier but den got sad cos my scissors and the other stuff taken hadn't come yet! so finally gave up cos the line for the quarantine was getting long...

ok skip to yesterday at home. i was hungry, but don't bother to arrange the food from the container to plates, so went to sleep from 10 'til 4. den realised supposed to meet friends at capitol at 5, but after lollying (wasting time walking aimlessly etc.) around decided not to go, but ended up still going to the dinner at pancakes at the rocks. ! . then ate, caught the bus to george st, ended up going home den.. dropped off by jess' dad (met tom tom :D who smelt biscotti on me again, even though i didn't pat biscotti while wearing these clothes)
at home, watched nodame episode 7! den slept.

oh, about the pets. they all seem so much fatter!! and den this morning i realise that cc oni filled the boys' food bowl all the way from the bottom to the top, wen usually i stuff half the bowl with newspaper-covered styrofoam so that the portioned food was higher up in the bowl and easier to reach. chinta was still so cute!! and biscotti still shedding like crazy. but phoebe looked so much neater with shorter fur and for some reason, whiter/cleaner paws and face! (i hope my turtle 'pan' is still alive - type about him later wen i get photos -)

so. today i cleaned the gp's and noticed that the boys' diseased skin has improved!! no longer insanely itchy and bald!! koshi doesn't look like an egyptian cat anymore *yay* but he's still scratching behind his ears and around his eye, so still a bit bald there... but i'll wash them with the anti-fungal/skin disease dog shampoo that the 'pet planet' worker in indo recommended me. oya, ponta REALLYYYYY stinks!!! but koshi which is in the neighbouring cage smells normal.... hmm oh and this morning mama found another dead sparrow in the garage *hiiihhh*
oh anyways, that pet planet shop in indo, was sooooo clean and it had this super cute shih tzu which had hair covering his/her eyes so that it looked funny running all hyper when u couldn't see his/her eyes so cuteeee!!!
and they had different breeds of rabbits in really clean 'cages' and they were so cute and healthy looking!! waaaaaaaa i want!!!! oya btw tomo died :"( before i could see him
