What Happened to Lil Eddie?!

Just stalked down his new song where he sings about . . . the Frog Prince. >facepalm< *Groan*

But it's still really good (as with all his songs naturally) so I uploaded it to my playlist!!! And partly because Lia was a HUGE fan of The Princess and the Frog (I think it was you =] Or someone else. I always remember half of stuff lol). Though it looks completely awful hehe. But yeah have a listen to it (click on the song in the Mixpod). It's still really good! And for once it's not country music in there ;)

Also finally found a good song by Usher again. Finally! The last ones I liked were like from 5 to 6 years ago. Yeah, Burn, and My Confessions. Check out the new one. It's called Fooling Around.

Another good one is Solo by Iyaz (the same guy who wrote Replay). Almost as super catchyas replay too!!! Except it doesn't carve itself a part of your cerebral cortex to embed itself in =DD

Sorry I haven't been blogging for so long. I would say that I've been too busy, but in reality I'm just too lazy =P Last Sunday went on this awesome lunch cruise with my extended family (and my super generous aunt shouted us ALL. It's like $50 per person!). She's so nice and always uber generous =]

I would upload photos of the really cool 3 storey (lol i just realised I spelt it storie in the cbox) ship except my sister took my camera and deleted all the photos after putting them on her own computer. Argh. Shall upload next time lol.

The next day we went to . . . *drumroll* the Central Coast!!!

All the places my dad ever drives to are located within a 150 km radius centred around Sydney so not surprisingly I have been to all those places many times before =_______=

asdf yes im bored. i even referenced it properly!!! =D

And this time, there was no exception. By no means was this a deviation from the same routine we have followed for the last 8 years. No, that would be utterly unthinkable =O

The last time we went we spent an entire day on the Pacific Highway looking for the Central Coast RSPCA. We never found it even though we started in the morning until way into the day (like around 3pm) ==; And then on the last attempt (after realising we had missed it 3 times), we slowly drove past a tiny blue roadsign at an intersection pointing to RSPCA as if to taunt us. But then we just gave up because it was too hard to turn back (despite the fact we had done so 3 times).

____________________________________________________________________

Oops, sorry. Haven't been blogging for ages lol (this is 25th Jan). Been trying to actually do some work in the last week of the holidays but haven't even achieved anything. I get distracted way too easily by things like YouTube. ANYWAY, back to our great holiday =O

However, that no longer happens to us now! Because we have adopted a new member into our family. He calls himself the Navman (who has a girl's voice - har de har har =D) and is able to accuratly pinpoint to within 2 km of where we are. It's amazing!!! Simply, purely amazing - what a piece of junk $250 will get you.

To get constantly ordered around by a shrill, banshee-like, skull drilling voiced woman who shrieks out commands for the whole of the journey. I would imagine it's actually worse than getting a wife.

She started off all kind and courteous as we drove out of Sydney.

Continue straight for 5.9 kilometres. Continue straight.

But then she grew devious. That cunning, crafty bitch decided to confuse us a bit just to watch some mayhem unfold to satiate her sadistic desires.

In one-hundred metres, at the roundabout, take the 2nd exit. Take the 2nd exit.

Panic ensued in the car. "What the hell does that even mean?!" "Where are we meant to go??" "Take the 2nd exit. Take the 2nd exit. blahblahblah." Luckily we had a map so we just followed it and kept going straight.

Well, after like 10 of these, we found out that apparently you're meant to count the exits in a clockwise direction from where you are. For example, taking the 2nd exit means going straight, because the 1st exit is to turn left.

Once we figured it out, the evil Nav(wo)man decided to attempt another trick to throw us off course.

She led us to a road. A road with a roundabout. A roundabout with 5 exits ==; And told us to take the 3rd exit.
My dad, whose driving and counting skills are right up there with GPS lady's navigational skills, ended up turning right when this time 3rd exit meant going straight (there were 2 exits on the left). However, we very soon turned around, and went back on track =D

But Navwoman was not to be so easily defeated >=[[
We were on the highway, with like about 100 or so kilometres left, and it's suddenly like

"In 50 metres, turn left. TURN LEFT."

Our whole family's like "wtf?!", but nooo, she insists on turning into that retarded road.

Slight offtrack: Haha "turning into that retarded road". That reminds me of that joke that Paul loves.

Q. When is a car not a car?
A. When it turns into a driveway.

and another similar one:

Q. When is a door not a door?

A. When its ajar.

Anyway, back to the evil scheming machine . . .

"Perform a U-Turn when possible."

She said this at first with great calm and patience, but we ignored her and kept going straight. We were determined not to waver and surrender to the will of a machine. And she became increasingly hysterical.

"Perform a U-Turn now. Perform a U-Turn NOW."

We sweated and groaned and desperately fought back the crushing mind control she forced upon us to make us obey her, and finally we broke free of her mercilessly overwhelming, pulverising grip.

Finally got to the motel. Beautifully named the "Bali Hi Motel". As we drove in, my sister and I are like . . . "This looks shit."

Went in, and like any true azn, immediately turned on the aircon =D Took those little bottle soap things they give you, and started plugging out own stuff into the power outlets after unplugging their ugly bedside lamps xDD

To be honest, there is seriously absolutely nothing to do in Forster and Tuncurry. So we just walked around those stores they have there. Next day went off to Port Macquarie, where there was once again . . . nothing to do ==;

I have no idea why my dad always goes there - either there or Wollongong which is equally a hole with completely nothing to do. Wait I do. It's because he can't drive =[

I mean we could have gone to the Gold Coast or Melbourne or something .____.

So I just sat in the car for hours watching Zoolander and I Love You, Man. Awesome movies!!! Lol at the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read . . . Good.

Got to Port Macquarie, walked around, ate some raw oysters, and suddenly my throat went all itchy. Maybe I'm partially allergic to oysters o_O

But yeah, my chinese medicine doctor was like "avoid oysters" when I saw him. Except I went "Pfffft I'm not even allergic to them." Except he ended up being right lol.

Seeing as I think everyone reading this blog is Chinese, I shall delve into the wonders of it.

According to chinese medicine, food that everyone should avoid include "yeet hay" foods like spring rolls, french fries, chips, and anything fried. Believe it or not, some fruits are "yeet hay" too like guava or something O_O

Am I done? Nope =D There's also a billion other types of bad foods, such as "sup yeet" foods, "chow (rhymes with coal) yeet" foods, etcetcetc T____T

Stuff like mango and other fruits I can't recall right now lol

Anyway, so then we drove back (boring eh?) and then went to Hunter Valley the next day. Which was like a 40° day!!! Argh!! Like you'd get this fiery wind roaring into your face as soon as you stepped out of the car. Wasn't much to see cause it was so hot that some places had power outages =[

Just went to the Information Centre and just bummed around there sitting in the air-con. Man's greatest invention. And my excuse against global warming enthusiasts is that it was the environment's fault that it was hot in the first place.

Hehe their touch screen information computer stuffed up! It's like "Touch for the best this city has to offer", so I touch it, and nothing happens =DD Which meaaaans that the best it has to offer is a dumb, stuffed up, boring machine.
Which is true enough. Hunter Valley has nothing for kids =[

Aha here's me tapping the screen like crazy. Mature, I know.

Instead drove off to Hunter Valley Gardens and saw this playground =) I miss playing Gladiators heh. I remember once I fell on my back and couldn't talk for like 10 minutes - it like paralysed my voice box =O I was like freaking out like shit cause I thought I wouldn't ever be able to talk again. And wanted to go like "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT I CAN'T TALK." Except nothing came out. Literally.
Like no sound at all, and the only sound you can make at that point is the sound of when you clear your throat. Scary as O_O

Luckily after like 10 minutes I could scream at max volume again >=]

We saw this empty chapel, and then went in. It like overlooked an awesome view =D

Lol it also had a crying room


But then it became too hot and then we just went back in the car, and drove off to another random place (Hunter Valley is simply a long road with winery families all along it, and you just drive into each driveway and try their wines). It was like some tiny place with a few shops. One of which was a very lucky ice cream shop.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Haha look at that person's chubby arm =) Bet they eat lots of ice cream too!! hehe (I've totally fallen in love with ice cream these holidays lol)
Speaking of chubby, has anyone noticed the middle ballboy who always stands behind Nadal in his matches, like when vsing Luczak and Kohlschreiber? One of the ones in the blue shirts. She is like amazingly obese O_O I dunno how they chose her to become ballboy.

Oh, and after walking outside the store I saw this sign ==; But why wouldn't you let people take photos of your ice-cream?! Cos I might steal your secret recipes just by looking at the ice-creams? >=[[

Well SUCK THAT. I took lots of photos. Sue me.

After that we went on home. And as if by some miracle, perhaps it was due to my coaxing of the GPS, perhaps it was due to my mum's screaming at it to shut up, perhaps it was my father's defending of it, the GPS Navman . . . somehow screwed up even more. =___________=

Of course we were on a road! But could you tell GPS lady once again? Oh no, once again she knew she was 100% right. And no amount of persuasion or coaxing could make her think otherwise.

Stopped over at a rest place, and since I didn't need to go to the toilet, I decided to walk over to the picnic area and sit down. Then suddenly I saw this movement and all this rustling and suddenly went like "HOLY CRAP OMGOGMOMG". This hugeass goanna was near my foot and then climbed onto the tree.

That's one huge animal o.O

Ah well, AND THEN WE WENT HOME. THE END.

Anyway, Australia Day tomorrow!!! (technically today) And to celebrate Australia day, I have something very special to show us all! This happened last year . . . I was pouring some soy sauce onto my sushi, and after I was finished, I was literally blown away (haha not literally) at a soy sauce droplet IN THE SHAPE OF . . . AUSTRALIA!!! =DD

Feast your eyes, fellow australians hehe

Though I must admit I dragged in Tasmania using my chopsticks. But the rest is all there! The Great Australian Bight, Cape York, that bit with Darwin in it, Perth . . . everything! =D

Coincedence? I think not! x]

Here's a close up:


Ah well, I am off to a call of nature people! Happy Australia Day to you all!!! May the Commonwealth star, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon crusis stars (on the Australian flag) shine brightly and smile upon thee. Fare thee well, fellow Australian.
