saturday: rocked and rolled!! :O) Jet was really kewl!! sounded totally awesome. there was also a guest electric pianist (organist?) for a few songs, and this guy had only rehearsed with them the night before the gig. he was damn kewl to watch!(funky hair and all) also heard/watched Mess Hall (two bandmembers: one on electric guitar, the other on drums).the guitarist has the nicest teeth ever!
(the gooode moosic more than made up for the crap indian food we ate before that!!ew!) the gig ended at 12.30am. we made our way back to the city for kfc (yeh..some ppl cant get enuff of the stuff), then decided to go down to the cherry bar for more rocking & rolling in honour of andre's birthday (13thofjuly). *HAPPPPPPYYYYYY BIRTTTHHHHHDAAAAAYYYYY ANDRE! :O)
we sat ourselves down in a corner, chilled,ppl watched, & sang along to the music booming from the jukebox.then lo and behold..who should come in to chill but the members of Jet!!! very the happnin. finally called it a night at 3.30am.
oh and did i mention that all four of us (prema,jem,andre,me) were rendered semi-deaf after the concert? well,yesh. we seriously had problems hearing after coming outta the corner hotel,and later on experienced 'deafening' buzzing noises over the next 2 days. it's all goode now. no really. watt wats that? waat?
:O)
i cant quite explain it, but i feeel like i had a gigantenormous amount of fun. looking back, it doesnt really ...the only way to describe the feeling: a bowl of woohoos, a toss of yeahyeahs, and a splash of ahuhs. WOOOHOOOOOOO!

sunday: the three of us (from the nite before) gave andre a cake surprise at his place! twas rather funny.went for coffee after that. puff,milton,&prema's sister (shalini) joined us. rather nice way to end the mid year holidays.
:O)

the weekend was pretty kewl. spent it wif pretty kewl ppl(haha..no really!) listening (and singing along, in some instances) to pretty kewl music. kewl? awesome.
friday: watched charlie's angels 2 with puff..(was bugged into it!!), but was in the mood for nonsense, so found it quite fun!! really like the soundtrack! woohoo.
then, we went for an experimental sounds gig at the rmit carpark.was interesting, to say the least. the star guests were these two guys from california who were on a tour thingy: randy yau & scott arford. the act i liked the most was a duo that combined the sounds of a drum set and an electronic-sound manipulator-board thingamajic. their piece...the name kinda sums it up: Machina aux Rock. damn kewl.
after that, i left puff (who was actually working as a volunteer at the event) and went on to the clyde just in time to hear a rather drunk terry in his element, accompanied by an equally drunk steve on electric guitar. both are andre's housemates. judging by their drunken performance, they must sound even kewler when sober.. next time around then!

I AM FULL OF NONSENSE. haha. ok. got that outta my system. i had a whole bunch of things to post so that i can look back and remember etc. man, it's a bugger when u can't remember things. where to start...ok. what's been a-hapnin this week..well, woogles stayed wif me from friday to wednesday afternoon. she's currently earned a title from me. kay, not gonna post it cos it looks bad in black and white (seeing as it's rather colourful language and all). all thru last weekend and monday and for a few intense hours on tuesday,prema and i 'worked' on a special project. twas fun,and kinda good time spent together seeing as we dont see each other much during the semester. had MSA meeting on monday (first one for me this year!).
tuesday:dinner wif mary,pee,andre,jem,milton, and george @bimbo deluxe on brunswick st. that was pretty funny. surprise post-b'day dinner-cake thingy for jem but wif many manny boo boos. damn funny! :O)

in regards to the holidays, some things deserve special mentions. first up, okay so i didnt just sit around this place throughout the WHOLE of the hols...(or wats passed thus far). went to cairns for about 5 days (but technically only had 3 full days to explore) while my parents were here. yeh, talk about exciting! saw a part of the great barrier reef (Moore Reef), a turtle and many schools of fish; did a passby of Fitzroy Island; went up to Cape Tribulation;did a tour of the Daintree Rainforest (complete with crocodile and snake sightings) and stopped along the way at a fruit farm place that serves up good ole homemade (at the grounds) Daintree ice cream; and drove to some of the beaches...the one at port douglas is pretty nice, but kinda tourist infested. funny thing is that this trip actually makes the want to visit sabah even bigger! (tropical rainforests, wild river rafting etc). raw stuff. nice!
and...WOOOOGLES HAS ARRIVED IN MELBOURNE! :O) hopefully she's brought some of the queensland sunshine with her... woohoo!
okay. that was a bit of a longwinded entry. hmmm. but needed to get it all out..havent been able to log into the blog until today!! anyways, wanna wish my bwigbwadderr (think cow and chicken..an all time favourite!) a belated HAPPPPPPPPPPY 29th BIIIIIIRRRRRTHHHHHHDAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! twas on the 30th of june, but 3 days late is not too bad (by my standards...no really). have an ABSOLUTE BLAST and LURVEYALOTS! :O)
3 weeks on... my parents left a week ago (schniff schniff), i stressed about work and stuff over the weekend (but didnt actually get much done), then spent some quality time wif the kewlest ppl ever!! (and yes, kewl ppl stick around thru it all..ie.cheap tix, winter holidays,somewhat greener pastures yonder ocean).ahem. wat did we do? well..friday: school, then was pretty uneventful. saturday: school, miscellaneous stuff, went to NightCat (brunswick st) to listen to a hiphop/trip-hop fusion band (cant remember the name at this point) with pee, andre, and dave. they were damn goode..very kewl. kinda like the roots. that sort of thing. sunday: uneventful. monday:ahh,we get more interesting here on. went to school wif mary to do school stuff and saw a whole bunch of international students (int'l as in from places other than south-east asia) and contemplated joinin in on the festivities for a bit, but then decided to get on with all that is part of being a 3rd year student (dont ask!). after a while, pee joined us, then off we went on our merry way to vic mart where we made a pit stop for yummmyfying sri lankan style indian food. after that we did a bit of fresh food shopping, altho by the time we were done eating, MANY of the shops were closing or closed. on our way to mary's place after that, we did a coffee stop and YUMMY dessert stop at this cute lil cafe on queensberry st. twas damn nice. after chillin for a bit at mary's, we went to the safeway at new market, had laksa king laksa for dinner, then went back to mary's place and watched tennis and ate raspberry jello with lychees. puff also came over wif her fren for a bit to pick up the extra mattress for her visiting frens. next thing i knew, was staying over.....THANX MARY FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT HOST!! was so comfortable!! was well fed, given a nice elaborate makeshift bed, and even had a soft toy for the night! :O) next day, we (pee,mary,& i) went to errol's on errol st for brunch. again, a most yummmyfying experience! (now about that fruit and water diet...)
