Road Trip

Tmr leaving Sydney for Taz for a 9 day road trip. Yup you read it rite going on a road trip. We will be driving around the island, well not me actually cause I can only drive "green" cars so I will just be the navigator or co-driver. BUT not a back-seat driver. I spent a few hours each day for the past three days poring over the map. At last flying yahooooo. (not copyright I hope)

Also the past week or so after the exams doing nothing much. Went walking around the city look see look see. Like before sat at a coffee house to see people walk pass. Erm... I think I really need to find something better to do soon else I will soon have some kind of voyeur illness. But what the heck... not as if I took some secret photos or something. Also went to QVB, Darling Harbour and Martin Place to take a look at the Christmas deco. It was then that I saw that half of Martin Place was closed off to the public for the fliming of an ad for some credit card company.

Also went to the CD shop mentioned by the two brothers to look for the handsome guy but just not lucky cause did not see a thing. Well what to do just did not have the luck I guess. But saw a lot of other "good" stuff I must say. Also went for a haircut. This pretty pretty hairstylist gave me a three thick mags to look at to choose a hairstlye from. But knowing my lack of knowledge in this area I asked her to pick for me. She mentioned that I should always keep a fringe cause of the high forehead problem. Boy did she do a good job as I looked much better then before with the messy long hair. But after washing my hair the following day could not style it the same nice way that she did. Wasted all the effort of the cute hairstylist. Did I also mention that she had a nice smell? (Opps!!! Now I really sound like I am some kind of a pervert. I would like to state here that she was standing very close to me that is why I could smell it.) Also at the shop saw a middle age lady having a little flirt with a boyish hairstylist.

Also went to Neutral Bay to have cheese fondue. it was not too bad but a bit on the expansive side. But just wanted to have the experience of french food.

In this world good looks or money can really bring you much farther. But sadly I am clearly lacking of both. Somethimes wonder what will life be like if I am richer or hunky or cute looking or even just smarter. Mmm...yah yah in life money and looks is not everything but it is a huge part.

Cold Wind Blows...

Finally exams have ended yesterday. These two days the cat was blown by to strong cold wind here and there. He felt that if the wind was any stronger he would have flown off like a kite and take flight into the sky. He wanted to catch a movie but did not know which one to watch. So he went back to people watching.

The brown cat went to the busiest part of the forest to have a drink and sit there to watch the world go round. On the way there an orange fell out of the tree and nearly hits him on the head. The cat sees it and quickly scramper away. People were rushing here and there. All busy with their own lives. He watched and watched. He looked at their dressing. He looked at their style. (Not that the cat had any) He admired their bodies. He looked at their shoes. He also looked at the handbags, bagpacks, slingbags or briefcases that they were carrying. He lookied at the makeup. He looked at the neckties. He also counted the number of people wearing red then number of people wearing blue. As long as he just watched the world go round drinking yaleto ice at the same time. Following the fashion really that important? Ney... Just be comfortable with oneself that is the most important.

Many many nice fishes swim by. But all not edible. Some have owners, some by themselves. But not is not the time to think about fishing he tought. He came here just to see not fish. So many eye candy ones. Or maybe it is because the cat has stayed too long in his room?

The cat also saw this donation box by the Red Cross or something like that. The workers were going through all the stuff throwing away a lot of stuff that was totallu unuseable or reusable. One thing that really caught his eyes was a 2 mth old Cosmo mag!!! What is the unprivileged or poor going to do with the mag?!?! Read it an look at the rich and glamorous and wonder about why it is not them? Do not understand.

He overheards these two other guy twins talking:
A: I was just at the CD shop just now. And I saw this very very very cute handsome korean guy.
B: Huh?
A: Really was very good looking and fit also. But a little on the white side a bit darker will be better.
B: Which CD shop?
A: The one just over there. When I went in was like ZOOM!!! I spotted him. Him was with this other guy friend choosing korean movie cd. It was like "Wamp Bang Pooph" I saw the target. I pretend to look at the CDs but just stayed in the shop to look at him loh. He went which rack I also go which rack.
B:How did u know he was korean?
A: Cause he was speaking in korean...;p. Then I followed him all the way till end of Chinatown then gave up.
B: Really?
A: Yah Yah. He had nice looking nose and eyebrows. As long as very nice looking lah. Not to forget also "WHO WHO" leh. But But...
B: But what?
A: A bit short. Shorter then me leh.
B: You are not that tall leh. See God is fair good looking but take back a bit. Anyway why were u looking at guys?
A: No No. I not "glass" lah. But he is really too good to boot.
B: Really? I also want to see leh.
A: Let go stake out at the shop?
B: Great idea!!!

Stuff that also happen this week the world has 1 more millionares from the "Who Whats to Be a Millionare?" gameshow. In the show's 9 year history there are been only two winners. The first one was in Oct 2005 and now again on 14th Nov 2005. Wonder if the show producers' hearts can take it a not?

p/s: Note: The garden will not be blamed for any attempts to copy the cat's "looking" actions which might lead to a unhappiness of other people. The cat has a few years of training to enable him to look but not stare.
