ducks & dancing

MEGADUCK

mysterious found kookaburra while looking for megaduck at the gardens

i love this bunny but i forgot to take down its title and the name of the artist :(

one of Ron Mueck's sculptures at the exhibition

Okay so I’ve hardly blogged anything lately … but there isn’t much to blog because in every 500 words I type its like my whole day RIGHT there

But since it’s the holidays and I don’t have much to do apart from chores and cleaning and rearranged desks and bookshelves I’ll just recap Monday, shitty Tuesday night and uber Wednesday

Monday… went to the city with jasonface to sell and buy second hand books at uni and chyeah
And I hardly remember what we even did on Monday coz my memory fails me

I know it was fun and we fed lots of ducks.. but apart from that I don’t remember anything…

Wait I remember now! So we got there in the morning and went to dome for breakfast and went to the art gallery (GoMA) and saw sculptures of huge bunny rabbits and falling birds on cliff edges and everything was great but we mainly came to the art gallery to see Ron Mueck’s artworks! But we realised to get into the Mueck gallery we had to pay… sadface BUT WE WENT ANYWAY and it was worth my ten bucks

The people were so real, the old lady in bed, ‘Dead Dad’ and everything was so real! It was hard believe it was made out of fibreglass and silicon, and the each piece of hair was meticulously placed into the sculpture by the artist himself. It was crazy. I showed mum the photos of his artworks and now she wants to go too so yay!

And thennnnn we went to go eat sushi and then bought a whole loaf of fresh bread from a nightowl store and fed ducks at the botanic gardens and went on a full blown adventure to find mega duck (mr mallard duck @ the gardens) and I have most of it recorded on my camera
My voice also sounds really horrible too, do I always sound like that? I totally wouldn’t be friends with me if I had a voice like that. Ew.

Anyways we fed ducks and then went home and went to dancing (first ever practice!) it was strained and quite strange. I don’t dance, at all. So chyeah but it was fun even though I was quiet and shy – and I really hope I didn’t come across as incompetent, that would be bad D:

Anyway, then Tuesday slept in hardcore, people from America came over and stayed at our house for the night and it was quiet and weird and we ate hot pot. And I don’t favour hot pot unless its got wagyu beef in it and comes from Sono’s so I didn’t eat much and went to bed hungry

Technically, I didn’t go to bed, I went to the floor in a sleeping bag in mums bedroom coz grandparents took over my room while the other 16 guests took up the guest rooms and the couch… Hmm.. didn’t sleep that night, dad raged for being on the laptop for so long and mum was invading laptop usage privacy by peering into my msn convos (fml.)

Then came Wednesday, got up early and changed plans with alex coz I was planning to bus it to the city with her and matthew and but in the end mum decided we should go to myer at indro and ended up buying two watches on the spot.

It was weird coz I always wait at least 6 months for something that’s really expensive to see if I REALLY TRULY want it. But all I did was point and say ‘oh my gosh, mum that’s a pretty watch’ and mum bought it for me. Considering she bought it to even out her debt with me, technically I bought it with my own money = = oh well, at least I have something to tell the time with now coz I’m always running late to uni… :(

And then met up with Jason and alex and matthew at the city at funhouse haha. It was funny coz I saw Jason first at the technika machine, then alex and matthew were JUST walking up to the funhouse towards the technika machine and chyeah coincidental! xD

And then we met up with nhu and then we played around at the funhouse before splitting ways. Alex , nhu and matthew went to go find an early lunch and visit the public library and me and Jason did the same only the book I had on hold was an adaptation of tim winton’s cloudstreet… not the actual cloudstreet book. FML!!! I was not happy! >_<

Then we went to the southbank cinemas and saw toy story 3! I would’ve thought the movie was going to be okay but it turned out to be a lot more epic than I had originally thought! But what didn’t surprise me was that Woody was the centre of attention = = its always woody haha >_>

Then met up with david soon after at cue city and then he had to leave to go help plan a wedding and set up a sound system or something? I’m not sure but we’re gonna go tie shopping another day. But when I met up with david I didn’t even get to meet Thuong coz she went shopping :( so instead I walked up to Jenny and said ‘HEY THUONG RIGHT? HI’ yeah I failed.

Then me and Jason went to go buy another loaf of bread at emart to feed the ducks again! I hope the ducks don’t get used to it otherwise they’ll lose the habit of finding food for themselves and wont be able to live without living off the bread people feed them

But it was fun though! The ducks are so cute when they jump but I wish megaduck would get out of the water! I want to see him waddle!

Teehee yes, then after roaming around the gardens and climbing on the big metal statue outside uni we went to the asian place for dinner and headed home on the train the darra

Lucky Jason was there, I was scared when we got on the train and ran into the drunk guy sitting behind us

He scared off the poor Korean girl sitting next to him and she fully bailed out of her seat and moved to the other side of the train! And then he was drooling everywhere and breathing into a plastic bag for some reason…?? Then he kept swearing at Jason – the black haired cunt – asking the time, what station we’re at, where we’re going and he was just harassing everyone! It was so uncomfortable…

Then we finally got off at Darra (Thank god.) and Ai-van picked us up and drove us to the viet comm. Centre where we practiced dance and for some odd reason Jason came along! I was so happy he came along otherwise I’d fail dancing without a buddy :(

(Oscar bailed) (What a noob = =)

And we mucked around, danced, learned some new moves, practiced the old moves, taught Jason the old moves and it was really fun because everything was a bit more relaxed because everyone put in an opinion and tried a little harder this time probably because Hien My wasn’t ‘dominating’ as much and so everyone put in a little bit.

And I’m not saying Hien My is a hard leader and dominates everyone like RAWR *whip noise* but her enthusiasm overpowered ours and so we ran out of inspiration and she came up with all the choreography when the rest of us where left standing and following… especially me. I’m a wordless idiot when it comes to new situation and lots of new people. Heh. I’m a loser.

And that’s what happened, we finished rehearsal at 10.30pm and luckily Tran drove Jason home otherwise he would’ve had to take the train and wouldn’t be home until 1am… so I was much much MUCH less worried… I worry too much.. and Tran talked to Jason’s mother and convinced her to let Jason be a part of this :)

Rawr… and that’s it basically

Not going out until Monday, Darra reunion! And the next rehearsal is on Sunday at 11am and we’ll be able to meet the two other guys! Vincent and… his brother haha

Luckily Jason joined otherwise we’d be short one person. Girl or guy, we’d be short one person even if Tram posed as a guy we’d need a girl anyway.. so that was really lucky… too bad Oscar bailed.. :(

Anyways I’m off and gonna continue rolling in bed coz its warm

Ciao!
