I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I’m laughing cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
Cause I’m dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face...

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die
Discover that I had not lived.

-Thoreau-


Live life beyond what is expected...

Pacific House



I finally went. Woo hoo! Hehe. And we had a hell of a dinner. The rest of us arrived first except for Lid and Lib. We were so hungry we couldn't take it. Derek was so grumpy....Haha. Now we know..just shove some food into his mouth..he'll be all smiles again. We ordered Char Siu to kind of tide us over but that was gone in like 2 mins. So..yeah..wasn't much help.

Eventually we decided to order first before the others came. Here was the menu...

Corn Soup
Lobster Noodles
Honey chicken
Roast Duck
Kai Lan with oyster sauce
Toufu
Fried fish in Spicy salt and cilli
Oranges

The lobster was HUGE. That was probably the best dish next to the duck. Shan wouldn't touch the duck cos it had FEATHERS on it. ahha. The waiter brought the live lobster over. The bugger was MASSIVE. We were all so hungry and in awe, I think we all just nodded and let him take it away to be slaughtered. It din occer to us till like 3 mins later that the lobster was quite big. At $38 a pound...it was 5.1 pounds. You guys do the math. We were like..shit...

But yeah...the dish turned out to be really goood. We were so hungry. When the food came we all attacked it like savage beasts. Usually we would be considerate and serve the others. HAAHHAHA...NO!!! NO ONE CARED! We just went for it. No one looked up...no one gave a shit about what was happening next to them. The only time we looked up was to get more food..and the only thing going through our heads was probably.."eh...get your food faster lah...I want to get that piece of lobster before anyone else grabs it." Hahahaha

Derek was eating so much rice he might as well have eaten out of the rice tub. Everyone's hand were busy tearing the lobster into shreads. Shan bit into a cilli...NO ONE CARED! I just shoved her a bottle of water and continued. Haha..it was hilarious. Everyone was soooo quiet. Shan said it was freaky cos I didn't make any noise. I swear there were points in time when i got food..the next time I looked up 3/4 of the chicken was gone. I'm not kidding.

When the lady asked if she could clear the plate, all of us hesitated cos there was like one leg left. We were like.." Uh....Uh..." To us..clean is not till everything is GONE! Haha. See! we didn't even managed to get a photo of the food. Just the remnants (look close...there are just scraps on the table).

Otherwise, apart from our fantastic display of barbarianism(is that a word?), 7 of us sucessfully finished all 6 dishes..CLEAN! I was so proud of us. Very happy that we were among people who just love to enjoy food. *applause*. Well done everyone...Derek..we are so screwed when we go to Msia..we're going to end up eating so much....better warn the natives...

Explaining Politics

Got this off an email. Thought it was hilarious. Hehe. Check it out. How true is this?


A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:


I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying,
so he gets up to check on him. He finds that
the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds
his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her,
he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the
door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father
in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy say's to his father,
"Dad, I think I understand the concept of
politics now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell me in your own
words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "The President is screwing the
Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

Whoops


How could I forget. Hehe. Andrew bought us all shots to toast to our arrival in Sydney. Cheers!



~Am~ at 1:51 AM


----------------------------------


Sydney photos!!!


I know it's been ages. I'm realy sorry. But as promised..I have decided to put them up. So here they are. =o)


FRIDAY NIGHT

First day we got to Sydney. A gruelling 11hrs on a train. I can't remember which smart ass it was who decided on the train. haha. But I regretted it when I had to wake up at 6am on Friday morning for the 8am train. Damn. It was alright. Rach, Kris, Shah and I are very compromising people. So we got along pretty well on the train. But you can imagine. When the trained arrived in Sydney, we literally RAN off the train. Haha.


Us getting ready in our hotel rooms. Ok, so I was on the phone. Had to call a few ppl I knew in Sydney.


All of us waiting for Tush and the rest to arrive and bring us somewhere to eat!


At darling harbour on a Friday Night. There were so many people and the view was really beautiful. And we wonder why Sydney is said to be one of the more beautiful places in the world. Went clubbing after that.


The token picture of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Can't forget that right?


SATURDAY - DAY






In front of the Queen Victoria Building. They have a LOT of shops here. Too bad we didn't have enough time to shop. Plus, it was easter weekend. Lots of them were closed. Damn!


SATURDAY - NIGHT

We went to The Establishment . It was such a beautiful bar. We loved it. Was so sex and the city. Haha. Rubbing shoulders with a lot of ppl who were heaps older and probably working. Cocktails galore: Cosmopolitans, Devilish, Martinis, Manhattans, you name it. I met a podiatrist there who gave me his card and asked me to call him when I come back to Sydney. Haha..right...he was old..like probably 30. He has his masters already. Hmm...







This was after dancing up a storm in Mink. After that, my feet were aching so much, I had second thoughts about the podiatrist. Haha!






SUNDAY - DAY


Had Yum Cha first. It was at this all you can eat. Damn man. Was so full.













The beach! Went to Bronte and walked to Bondi. It was terrific. The view was really beautiful. Hehe. Felt so refreshing. All we needed was a 'rent-a-dog' and we'd be fine.





Us hanging our feet over this ridge that we sat on. Was pretty damn high.



Fried Mars Bars. Apparently a speciality at Bondai. Mars bars fried in batter. As gross as that sounds, it actually tasted pretty good.


SUNDAY - NIGHT

A night out drinking. We went pub crawling. Was pretty good fun. Although, we got so pissed that day. Sorry Tush again for everything. Thanks for taking care of me. =o) Ok..this was us before we drank...and the spectacular view of the Opera House along The Rocks as well. How could we forget.








This was the row of Bacardi 151s we drank. And yeah, JUST before we had it. You guys can imagine the rest....*grin*






LAST DAY - MONDAY MORNING

Another round of yum cha with friends after recuperating from the night before. Had to wake up super early to check out. It was not an easy task. We all look half alive.




Doris and I. We go way way back. hehe. It was good seeing you dear. Sorry I was so out of it that day.




Tush, Mal, Tush's friends. Thank you to all of you for taking care of me the night before. I was pretty well behaved right? Haha. And sorry Mal, for jumping on you...literally.


Final photo. We had ice cream along Darling Harbour and that was it. We got on a train at around 9pm. We were so tempted to refund our tickets and grab the first available flight out. But yeah...as spontaneous as we wanted to be, it was way too expensive to get a plane ticket on such short notice. Oh well...wishful thinking..

And that was it! My sydney trip. It's a hell a lot of photos people. haha. Sorry for the delay. They're finally up. And if you guys get a chance, GO...cos it was really worth it. I had a hell of a time. Damn...I miss Sydney..the buildings in Melb are way too short....

Paraphilia



Scatologia
Makers of 'obscene' phone calls. The ones who keep hitting redial until they can barely talk because they're almost 'there'.


Coprophilia
The need to involve fecal matter into sex acts in some way. Arousal is unobtainable without either fantasizing ebout poop, smelling it, or being in contact with it in some way.


Urophilia
Same as above except with urine. ( A little like one Sex and the City episode. Hehe. Ppl who've watched will know)


Klismaphilia
Those unable to achieve sexual arousal or gratification without the administration of an enema.


Necrophilia
Sexual arousal or gratification from dead bodies. (Oh man, these ppl must be one some kind of high when they watch CSI on TV or something)

There are 3 types:
i) Normal Necrophilia
Happening upon a dead body and having your way with it. Haha!

ii) Necrophilic Homicide
Meeting someone, hitting it off, inviting them home and killing them in order to have sex with them

iii) Necrophilic Fantasy
Unable to become aroused without imagining sex with corpses.


Zoophilia
Sexual gratification from having sex with or fantasizing about sex with animals.

Statistics: Worldwide, about 9% of men and 3% of women have sex with an animal at least once in their lives.


Usually have sexual relations with farm animals (Pigs at the top, followed by sheep, goats, cows, horses). Sex involves penetration. (Imagine people. A guy humping a cow! Or a horse for that matter. Haha. It's hilarious.)


Usually with household pets (chiefly dogs and cats who have been 'trained'). Sex involves rubbing and/or licking.


Haha. Cool huh? The things you learn reading Farrago.

The look on your face
It could never explain your heart
And the touch of my lips
It could never tell U my thoughts

And U want me to change
I can't get used to
All U want me to be
I just can't pretend
To be anyone else
Cuz it's not really me

This is my world
This is who I am
And I'm not gonna give up myself
To make your life better

She said
This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby

And if it's love
That we share
Then we can withstand all
The obstacles that life brings forth
And I will receive you
For who U are, who u were
And baby who U will be

But U want me to change
Girl I can't get used to
All U want me to be
And I just can't pretend
To be anyone else
Cuz it's not really me

This is my world
This is who i am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better

She said
This is how it is
I got my own life to live
And U can either accept me
Or baby let me go

U said I promise you the stars
And I'm
Giving you all I can now
U said love is not enough
And I know
U will see
If your life turns around
In my heart there is room for u

This is my world
Who I am
And I'm not trying to give up myself
To make your life better, now

Oh, this is how
And I got my life
And U can either accept me
Or baby let me go

This is my world
My world
Baby let me go

This is who I am
Where I live
Got my own life to give

My world
I'm not trying to change u
This is who I am
Please let me be me


Darius Rucker This is My World



This is such an excellent song. Eddie you're right. I did love it. I loved it to bits.
