I'm Their Little Chicken

Say 'G'day mam' to two of my oldest (literally) friends: one of the reasons that saw me flying back to Brissy middle this year.

When you meet people who are much older, you tend to expect awkward silences and a lack of conversational topics. That however, wasn't the case with Val and Maria. These fashionable mamas are very much young at heart.

At times when the shop (where we work) was quiet, the cheeky Val's idea to bring in people would be for us to "go out to the shop with out cute little outfits and do a belly dance while playing the tambourine!" And believe it or not, i used to turn to the classy Maria for advice on hair and make-up. In fact, she was the one who convinced me to get my maxi, which i reckon is one of the best fashion decisions i've ever made.

And what i appreciate most is that they never expect me to think the same way as them or belittle me for my lack of experience - a trait that is very hard to find because many grown-ups i've met usually want me to think or behave like them because "they're always right".

From the bottom of my heart, thank you ladies.

Six Feet Underground

I tweeted about it. I texted my friends about it. I posted a Facebook status about it. It was the best RM13 i've ever spent. Well, Gai thought it was a waste of her money but meh, she's into different things so it doesn't count.

The room was dark and mostly empty.

Throughout the entire experience, there was silence (minus a few exclamations of 'Ohmigosh' and 'What the fuck?'). Every inch of my body tightened as stress and tension took over me. I was worried. I was relieved before being disappointed again. I was angry. And i teared a little too. It was not what i pictured the experience to be. It was so much more.

Although so little was said and done, the messages conveyed were loud and clear and very troubling. And that to me, was what made the experience all that worthwhile. To be able to turn less into more is something only a few gifted people in the industry can do.

Buried.

That is the experience i am referring to. Go catch it in the cinema while it's on. The best indie flick to date.

Ohmigosh. Ohmigosh. Ohmigosh.

It's 1.59am on October 16.

Yesterday was a great day because:

a) I was on leave
b) I had time to catch the repeat of Thursday's TARA4 and got an eyeful of the hotness that is The Riches
c) I went on a shopping excursion with Karen and Louanne and got a really awesome party dress, (although i will prolly have to starve the entire day to rock the look) and some pretty necklaces from the best store in the world, Forever 21
d) I had Nando's grilled vege and chicken for dinner

And about 10 minutes ago, i read an email that made me even happier than i already am. Karen, Joyce, Louanne...where are you ladies? I wanna share my excitement! I'm not gonna say anything now because i don't want to jinx it but if all goes well, i can finally tick off a very important item in my to-do list. I know i shouldn't have such high hopes because i may be disappointed but to be even given this tiny glimpse of hope is a great achievement to me! Super exciting! Thank you God!

Now, i'm gonna try to calm down a little and go to bed. Sweet dreams!
