Brisbanite to Sydnian / Sunday, July 02, 2006
Whee...I'm in Sydney now!! Got here just last night. And I'm actually going to Perth now. I wasn't allowed before Del suddenly had to go back to Holland to visit her grandmother was is really sick, and my parents thought it was too late notice, especially with the case of the eight year old who was raped and murdered in Perth. But now Del's not going anymore because her grandmother is better. Yaaayy!!!
Sydney is ok lah, not much planned except Fantasia. My plane flight was quick, only an hour and a half. I got the seat at the very back of the plane right against the wall, and the two seats next to me were empty, whoo!! The night view was really quite pretty, but I fell asleep in 10 minutes or so. And straight through until I was woken up by an air hostess to put my seat up for landing. So then I got the night view of Sydney as well. There were a few kids around me but they weren't too noisy. About 3 minutes before landing, I felt water drip down my back and I was like WTF!!! I felt the ceiling which was dry o.O
But otherwise the trip was largely uneventful. An hour of being picked up by my sister, her boyfriend (Jay) and their friend (Meng) and they were already arguing. Meng said Jay had promised to drive him to the city but Jay steadfastedly denied it. I laughed at them for a few minutes for not knowing what an emo is. At home, Meng kept swearing at Jay and begging alternatively for him to drive him to the city because he had to meet someone. By that time it was already like 9 o'clock and Jay refused to drive half an hour and back just to Meng could see some chick. In the end I shoved Meng out of the house and locked the door because he was pissing me off with all his whining.
My sister's house is sorta scary... The bathroom sink looks like it's infested with something... The kitchen sink is filled with dishes that hasn't been washed for a month... The fridge has all this red stuff running down the side... Almost every cup has stains on it that can't be washed off anymore... *shudder* I'm so scared of their toilet I brush my teeth in the kitchen... not that it's heaps better but at least i can put stuff down on the table without fear of contamination.
Haha, the morning before I came, Jay and Meng had massive hangovers because they were out drinking until 4am in the morning. My sister was so pissed that she ripped up all these photos of her and Jay and chucked the whole lot in the bin. I was moving the bin and was like whoa! wth!!
I stayed up til 2am watching soccer. Soccer! Me! I couldn't sleep so I joined Jay in the living room. I would assume I fell asleep on the sofa, but in the morning I woke up in bed with no memory of walking here, and Jay said I walked back to the room myself... o.O!
Today, got dropped off at the city by myself because both my sis and Jay had to work, so I got to wander around the city and managed to get lost. I went to Kinokuniya and drooled over all the anime and manga. I found DeathNote in English, Japanese and Chinese. But the pricing was sort of weird, because the English was $12/book, Japanese was $9/book and Chinese was $7/book. oOo and the 10th book came out too!! But I think I'll wait til I go back to Asia and get it cheaper there :D I also found this magazine/book thingy which was called Exposè which is a compilation of 'the finest digital art in the known universe'. There are works from people all across the world including USA, North/South Korea, Taiwan, Sweden, Germany, Italy, etcetcetc. I spent almost an hour flipping through 2 editions, and was really REALLY tempted to buy it. But it was expensive so I put it back on the shelf :(
Me, my sis and Jay has sashimi for dinner! YUM!!! mwhahahaha!!
Hmm.....aaannnddd I think that's it for today :D
