Day 1-2
Leaving Melb for 4 weeks in Shepparton, it was full of excitement. The drive was fun when you have someone driving up with you, so you concentrate on keeping a close distance instead of just staring blankly at the empty road ahead. We were in Nargambie in no time. The weather was aunshine-perfect and so did the fish&chip by the glittering lake. we were in Shep within 40 minutes, our home for the next 4 weeks. The 'Pod' looks awesome with 4 bedrooms downstairs, 6 upstairs and a bathroom between each bedroom. Went to do grocery shopping and I'm (not)proud to say that our first bill was $292. We also met 2 lovely BOH, Michelle and Maggie which soon became very much a part of our group thanks to the overly friendly Bec.
The First night in Shep began and ended in a typical fashion, involving a few bottles of alcohol. A few ppl had a few too many which resulted in the house being filled with werid random noises and high pitch squealing throughout the night. We woke up to witness a random chair in the bathroom and Twister on the living room floor which hinted much about the unknown nightly activities. No need to say that in the morning there were a not-hung-over-cos-I'm-still-drunk person, a few zombies, a few cases of xerostomia and a few constant yellings such as "I'm indian. I don't get drunk", "... raped me", "I don't remember anything", "I sense the judgemental aura coming from my left" and so on so on.
The second night was spent much on cooking which wasn't too bad except the rice that looked more like mashed potato. There were games of Settlers of Catan, Boggle and Wii Beach Volleyball which saw me retreating to my bedroom with very sore arms. I don't know much of what followed after I left but surely, it involved some 'serious discussions' and Kelly overtaking Bec on the 'Chart' in less than 24 hours.

Yes. But no meat
Today while I was working, I had an unexpected sms from my brother.
It was short and sharp to my brother's typical fashion and it said "yes. but no meat"
Now, what does that suppose to mean? I had no idea what he was talking about. so 4 words were what I had to work with.
The 'yes' implied that I asked something of him first and the 'no meat' implied it had something to do with food.
Now the time that I might be getting this kinda msg from my brother would be on weekends when I go shopping and he might've wanted me to buy something etc etc.
I started to think along the line of delayed msg that we sometimes get. I went food shopping on the weekend but didn't remember asking him anything.
So I went through my sent msg history. Lo and behold, the culprit msg, "hey can you eat spicy?".
But that wasn't for my brother. It was the msg I sent to a friend who was coming over on saturday for dinner.
Suddenly things began to make sense. In my family, I call my brother by his nickname which is 'A' and hence he is the first on the phone number list alphabetically.
The phone must have knocked around in my pocket and sent accidental msgs I didn't delete off the compose window.
Nothing more to it than that...except my brother would be expecting a spicy non-meat dinner from me tonight =(

Hot N Cold
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah me, can't decide what to drink
You would know
And I over think
Dark or white chocolate
I should know
That you're so good for me
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You smell like Milo
You taste like Time Out
I can't put you down
You look about right
You're brown and you're white
So good I drink up
Then I lick the cup
I, I don't really wanna pay, no
I, and I don't really wanna go, oh
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You smell like Milo
You taste like Time Out
I can't put you down...
** couldn't get the song off my head the whole weekend **

Optimist
A man saw another man walked into the room with one shoe,
so he asked, "Did you lose a shoe?",
to which the man replied, "No, I've found one".
Is your glass half empty or half full?

Panching all the way
By the tune of "Jingle Bells"
Drilling out the hole
Filling in decay
Missed lunch time, oh no
Working all the way
Where the hell's that thing?
Time to panic, right?
What fun it is to look through the bin
We'll be here all night
(Chorus)
Oh, bell st hell, bell st smells
Panching all the way
Oh, what fun it is to work
In a self-sterilising place
Bell st hell, bell st smells
Panching all the way
Oh, what fun it is to work
In a self-sterilising place
Can't find that football bur
Did room three guys take mine?
Still writing on paper
Why not type online?
Fifteen minutes exam
We thought it's game and fun
Until we started a fight with Trang
Then no work gets done
(Chorus) x2
