Little Tales to Tattle: 03/01/2006

Wednesday, March 22, 2006

Quite a number of our friends have graduated and they've left us behind to finish up our last lap. Somehow, there's just something bittersweet about graduations, while i do wish everyone all the best, a small part of me wants to live in the past, a past where there were more people to hang out with. All these coming and goings are part of life but its sad somehow that the familiar faces I see in school will no longer be here next semester.

All the same, i attended the comm studies graduations in Winthrop hall. And whilst the ceremony is pretty boring stuff, the place was stunning.

These pictures of Winthrop hall do not do justice to the majesty of the place.

And then the graduates.

soulmates for life.

Dee, who celebrated her birthday too. Liying next to her.

Smiley people

A comm studies picture (hence us other arts people being left out)

All of us just hanging around

The numerous happy people who got to gobble up finger food after the show.

An old friend.

So yes, my friends have graduated and tis time for us non graduates to get on with our lives.

Thats all for convos,
till the next graduation i attend (which will hopefully be mine),

Hi All ...

We celebrated Adrian's Birthday today at KimChee House at Northbridge, where the food was good and the ambience was well ... cosy enough. Adrian actually said he wanted to go to somewhere fancy but being the cheap students that we were, we settled for someplace relatively in between. Haha.

So here's me peeping into Adrian's card while Pam's was animated talking away. Hee.

Sernwei, Sandy, Raymond and Allan on the table opposite due to space constrains.

Adrian was in the midst of saying something he got caught on camera.

Some Koreany Starters.

And our table had 8 portions of this. It was seriously yummy stuff.

So after the Korean fare, a bunch of hot, stinky and happy gluts made our way to Utopia for some cake-cutting and cool-down bubble tea. So here we are waiting for our bubble tea.

And the final cake cutting session, where Adrian was played a birthday song on the KTV big screen (for the whole restaurant to hear that is). Lets just say that this would count as one of the most unforgettable experiences Lil Adriany has ever had.

Most of All Happy 2_th Birthday Adriany!
You know we all still love you.

So yes ...

i was talking about how i did quite a bit yesterday. Well, apart from just the Gig, i also got myself a little car. Hee. Actually it belongs to both Loy and me. He's a 15 year old Toyota Corolla, god knows what model he is coz i left all the manual readings to Loy (*snigger*). As far as I'm concerned. He runs on unleaded petrol, is manually controlled and White in colour. The air con isn't working and the radio seems a bit wonky, but that's just expected of all old second hand cars. We got nice old ah Sam and Danie/al to check the main engine because both Loy and I aren't really the experts in this area. They said so far the engine looks ok and i hope it continues to remain that way. So here are some pictures of the newest addition to my Perth home.

We gave him a good scrubbing down...

Greasing him insides and spraying him with water all over.

Pictures of His Lush interior ... NOT ... haha

Henceforth thou shalt be named Poseidon,
Go forth and accelerate.

Hello. A lot has happened today but first things first.

I can finally say i'm no longer a virgin to Indie Rock Concert/Gigs. I went for my first ever Indie Rock concert in Perth and actually quite enjoyed it. It was a small affair (that means no mosh pits and things of those kind). The Gig was good because Broken Social Scene (the band i went ot watch) had very good stage presence, the energy level there was fantastic as well because the band was 14 member strong and that meant constant stage movement and rotations. The Guitar playing was sooooo cool as well and i loved the way the special effects were done. For such a huge band, the coordination was well planned out because each of the performers knew just when to begin playing or singing what note. I must say though that i am an amatuer to these "things" and anyone more experienced in these things are free to scoff at my superficial and apparent lack of exposure. hahaha.

Still ... what matters most was that i had a great time!

The stage area wasn't very big, with the swirly patterns being the stage background. The sofas were very lounge like and fun too really. But by the time the concert began, most people gravitated towards the open front area in the Verandah (that's what the location was called).
