spring break....and all is quiet

its the fourth day into spring break and all's quiet here. everyone has either gone home if ur aussie or exploring this huge continent like jordan in darwin and the pinoy group in melbourne. why am i at home then? well i'm basically kind of totally broke at the mo so unless i go sell some ass at king's cross im kinda stuck i suppose. actually cutted short a stay down in syd so that i can come back and lie low till the weekend when the moolah comes in. hooray for IH dinners!

past few weeks has been littered with hectic assignment due days, some crazy nights out, discovering new circles of friends, alot of music listening to and the like. how about the future? well after the break it's another 3 weeks of uni and then exams period kicks in to kick our asses. something to look forward to is bloc party 3 days after my last paper! finally gonna get to see them after 2 failed attempts and a flight to melb to catch them with step will add some spice to the experience. oh and Big Day Out 09 has been announced! the biggest annual music fest down under akin to Glastonbury of the UK and Lollapalooza of the US is held every January-end and im praying it won't coincide with the ang pows and oranges of gong xi gong xi happiness. anyone has any idea when CNY next year will be?

so for some relief from words and text, when you break the glass bottom of a shisha that u've only had for a week what do you do? well according to my genius friend you do this:



ingenious eh? i guess it still serves its function and let me say that im sure pulling off such a feat with such spontaneity can only come hand in hand if ur drunk.....the power of alcohol.

"oh SHIT!!! i broke the shisha!"
"WTF???!! totally broken man! no more shishaaaa!!"
"wait wait, don't worry. hang on. lemme see. what can we do. ahh there's a bottle in the common room, and its empty! wah extra jucy some more. ok gimme 5 mins"

after 5 mins

"TADA!! see all fixed, we can shisha again. and its not glass so it will never break"

gd job man. now at least there's still an oulet to release our stress. i always thought shishaing was less harmful than smoking regular ciggs coz its like flavoured air man! but when i did some research, i was surprised. according to wikipedia, its more harmful coz of the session times. most poeple would shisha for at least 30-45 mins a session and this overall is longer than puffing on a deathstick. and the water that is being used as a filter might not be an effective filter at all. oh well what can i say.


ok to sign off this post let me recommend 5 songs you should listen to today!

1. O Girlfriend - Weezer ( i know its not exactly new, but it's meaningful and sad in a way)
2. The Park - Feist (omg, her voice is magnificient here! so raw and beautiful. and the way she's pining for her loved one makes it all the more touching)
3. Everyone Gets A Star - Albert Hammond Jr. (in your headable!)
4. 23 - Jimmy Eat World (emo!)
5. Sway & Gap - The Kooks (ok it's 2 songs i know but both are catchy and i like the sound)


Alritey, I've more songs to list but will keep it for next time. Oh baby
