zoo & final week of rehearsals!















Okay so its been 4 days since I’ve blogged anything and quite a bit has happened since then :)

On Sunday had rehearsal at 11am for the final performance this coming Saturday night and met up at the viet community centre with everyone and danced and practiced and had some other people came to watch us perform

The head awesome super boss lady of the viet community centre told us it was very cute but we needed more practice :(

But! That is what we are doing! And we’re improving! Apparently we’re almost perfect! As long as we have fun and don’t look scared and fumble around, we’ll be okay :)

After that me and Jason went to the primary school to play tennis

What a funny guy xD

Betting he’d win best of 3 games, if he won he’d get a blowjob. I totally creamed his ass, AND he got something heaps better than a blowjob ;)

We’re so dirty and impulsive…

Anyway, so Monday came and went

But before that, Sunday night rolled around after tennis, and I literally begged my mum to let me go to the zoo with Jason on Monday

She kept saying no, but I kept begging during the movie (Eagle Eye, rented movie) and she was getting a tad sleepy so I kept begging and then she said ‘go wherever you want to, I don’t care *sleepface*’ hahaha I was so happy I started planning it right away

And considering it was like 10-11ish at night the day before it was hard to plan the whole zoo day in a few hours before hitting the sack and waking up again at 6am to go

But luckily Jason was online and we planned away in a whizz, lucky we planned half of it earlier (transport, food etc) planning ahead comes in handy :)

So then the next morning we went to zoo, Jason stopped by coles to buy bread, ham, salami and apple juice.

We met up, had maccas for breakfast and then boarded a train to the zoo! Took a while to get to the zoo but it wasn’t absurdly blow-my-brains-out-im-so-bored long but yeah. We got there took a taxi to the zoo, paid our entry fees, bought to feed bags and HEADED IN!

Saw a peacock in the carpark first, chased it like mad then ran into another peacock and took a heap of photos before hearing donkey braying HEE HAWWWW and ran to go find them and found these HUGE donkeys! I never knew donkeys were so big! They’re so….BIG! its crazy I thought they’d be smaller and greyer but these donkeys were a pale cream and grey and they were BIG AS HORSES! ..almost

But they were still big

We fed them, then went on to see the blackbucks next to the donkeys, fallow deer, Himalayan tahrs and then walked around found the koalas and camels and then walked around where we found the friendship farm!

We saw this big HUGE as black cow and he MOOED! Is that a word? Moo-ed? Past tense of moo? Eh. Oh well. But it was this big cow and I fed him and I got cow saliva and grass all over me with bits of pellet everywhere :)

Then saw the cutest llama ever, I got to feed him and even cuddle him when he stuck his head out of the cage! Teehee, it looked like he had an afro and you could pat his afro and it was so soft!
And there were goats and baby chicks and Jason tried to catch one but the chicks were too busy being warm underneath the warm lamp thingy but he did catch one! And held it for about 3 seconds and then it bailed

And there were guinea pigs! Quite a few in one cage and they were ADORABLE! And they all had names so that was super cute too!

And then we walked around to find the red panda exhibit and the zoo keeper guy tried feeding them to show everyone but they wouldn’t eat, so all the mummys and daddys and their kiddies all bailed coz the red pandas wouldn’t eat :( but they were extremely cute, but they can be VICIOUS! According to the zoo keeper guy anyway

Then we walked around and tried to find the sun bears but failed :) instead we found wallabies, kangaroos and echidnas. Though we couldn’t see any echidnas because they were probably sleeping in their hidey hole somewhere underneath the ground :)

We also saw lots of marmosets, baboons, spider monkeys, red capped capuchins, more koalas, emus, water buffalo, cassowaries and DUCKS

Oh and we also found snakes and reptiles too, as well as the green tree frog and the dainty tree frog

The dainty tree frog was stuck against the glass so all you could see was this blob of green against the glass and me and Jason were looking for the frog and we were both like ‘wheres the frog? I don’t see the frog’ then we saw it and we both went

‘OHMYGOD I FOUND IT LOOK AT IT HOLY SHEET, HAHAHAHAHAHA *rolls around in fits of laughter at the blob of frog on the window*’
Hahaha it was lots of fun :)

We also saw the koala presentation and got to pat this huge 10kg koala after the presentation. And apparently 10kilos of koala is considered rather large/fat (says the zoo keeper).

Oh and we did eventually find the sun bears and a lot of small cages on the way with lots of monkeys/parrots/bats in them :)

It was a very fun experience but I had no idea it was Jason’s first time to the zoo :(
I felt really lucky being able to go to a lot of places as a kid. Parents had taken me to go camping at fraser island as a child, gotten to go fishing and camping, go to zoos, play in parks. Jason’s never had that kind of stuff I guess.. I mean, it’s the zoo! What kind of kid hasn’t been to the zoo?! I feel really lucky though…

But I was really happy that I went to the zoo with Jason, and that day being his first time and all and it was really fun. I’m sure he had lots of fun too :) …Or at least I hope so!

I loved being there with him. I know, it’s a small zoo, there aren’t HEAPS of animals there, but its not where you are, its who you’re with right? And it was really different going somewhere else with Jason instead of the city all the time :)

Then so Monday came and went as fast in the blink of an eye because Jasons dad called him home to work at the shop…. So we left the zoo and headed back to the city, bought Oscar the jinglebear, Gary for Ai – Van and a domo for Jason :) (Correction: a domo with a hat and a backpack!)

Then I took the train back with Jason, where I sat at the train station for about 15 minutes and was slightly harassed by a drunken smoking dude who tugged at my ponytail… wanted to run away, he was scary! Now Jason won’t let me take the train around his neighbourhood/direction anymore :(

Means I can’t visit… won’t even let me visit with him there taking public transport with me… woe is me :(

mmm… then Tuesday rolled around and went running errands with mum and went shopping at mt ommaney and spent a total of … ugh I can’t remember anymore. 6 dollars on a dress, 2 dollars on a chikarita, chocolate, earrings $7.50. well I didn’t spend much around 20 dollars? Yeah, then went home, watched masterchef like a noob, and put on a movie, Rabbit Proof Fence (good movie!)

then today came around and went to the city with mum :)

ran into kerming half the day, while he was on a date but turns out chi didn’t show up but now I have found out that she didn’t show up because she was in the hospital…. I hope she gets better…

but went to the markets and went to see Ron Mueck at the gallery of modern art and it was super! Then went to go eat fettucine carbonara at aroma gardens and introduced mum to the place at the same time. And I also found out the place has toilets at the back! And also a lounge, with a bar, without any alcohol in it – the alcohol is stored in the front lol and I think they only serve beer.. yuck!

Then went home at 4.30pm, showered, rested a bit, cleaned room a bit, packed Gary into a bag with a postcard for Ai – Van and went to rehearsal! Rehearsal was really short today though. Only an hour and a half! Everythings going well so Huyen Tran cancelled the practice on Friday and decided we meet up on Saturday afternoon before the show started instead so it must be a sign we’re getting better!

But I have to start to learn to not watch Trinh, Ai – Van and Hien My while dancing and look at the audience! But I’m so scared I’m going to be out of time and hence the reason I watch them and copy >_<>
now and tomorrow is wake-up-early-and-do-chores-day :(
Goodnight! Ciao!
