Monkey Hangers

At work today, one of the radiographers called this lady a 'monkey hanger' and I was thinking..what the hell is that? so he explained it to me. The lady was from Hartlepool which is north sea port of England (which makes her Hartlepudian haha) and according to some folk story, during the Napoleonic war, a french ship came to invade Hartlepool but blew up in an explosion just off shore. The french had a mascot which was a monkey in a french uniform and it was the only thing that survived. The Hartlepudians being fishermen haven't seen a monkey before and thought that it was a french spy, so it was hung up on the beach and sentenced to death. Henceforth, the term 'Monkey hanger'. :)

Coffee and Cake

On Saturday afternoon, I went to the Merchant Tea and Coffee House in Fremantle with a couple of friends from Uni. We were meant to go to Norfolk Pub but we just wanted some coffee and cake so we decided to look around for a cafe. We all sat down and ordered our food, I don't think anyone actually ended up getting coffee. I must admit the food there wasn't spectacular, I ordered hot chocolate and a choc mint fudge cake which was alright. My friend who loves her Chai Lattes said that they make the worse Chai lattes ever!! Although we did sneak over to Dome next door to take away carrot cake, that was delicious!

The best cakes are at utopia, Myaree! I also like their bread selections, reminds me of the bakeries in Singapore. The evening ended up in timezone where we took a couple of photo stickers and we won a Minnie mouse toy.

Mario Kart Wii

Baby Peach

Mario Kart Wii - highly recommended.

It comes with a Wii Wheel which is heaps of fun. You can also play as your Mii character and play online with 12 other players. If anyone buys it, you can add me/rob as a friend, just ask me for the friend code and we can race :D.

It reminds me of playing Mario Kart at timezone, only downside is..we only have one wii wheel so the other person just plays without it.

Another smash into the window story

So I could hear this tapping noise in the background whilst i was in my room, on the computer. I thought it might've been the neighbors or something, so I head out of my room to see what was going on and I see this bird just flying straight into the door/window and like walking in a circle and *SMACK* back into the window again. So I'm standing there watching it flying into the window AGAIN and AGAIN like must've been over 10 times or 20 times. So i go and grab my camera phone and decided to film, hence the bad quality and yeah don't have much memory so the video cut out on me. BUT, as you can see, I managed to catch it smashin itself three times agains the glass door/window. DOESNT IT LEARN THE FIRST TIME ROUND?? haha..

Btw, I decided to walk up to the window to scare it away so it doesn't get brain damage.

Bags, Bags, Bags

They're very useful things, if we didn't have bags, what would would we do?

For Yuetsy's birthday we went to Bridge cafe to have modern asian food :) It was quite nice I must say, never been there before. I had lemon peppered squid with jasmine rice and salad. Anyhoos, dinner was wonderful except for the fact that we had to wait for SOMEONE that arrived 3 hours and 15 minutes late when everyone had already finished their food -___-" other than that it was a good outing.

SO the invitation says don't forget to bring your pilates gear for adam's pilates party...everyone took it as a joke EXCEPT FOR YENPOLE!!! She's soo cutE!!! haha.. so we went back to Adam's place and everyone was just listening to music or playin with Sachi (dog)! And then adam switches on some pilates video from youtube and a few of us were doing pilates Lol... (took a picture)!! Aren't they cute??

ARGHHH (bird cage door) so i'm like chasing it around the kitchen thinking *shit* *fuck* *oh no* wondering how in gods name am i gonna catch this birdy! and so it flies into the games room and *SMACK* into the window because they don't realise there's glass and thinks it can fly outside...so it finally lands on the ground and i slowly go up to it and wrapped my hands around it..and put it back in the cage :)

Swimming II

Pool

Weeee~ ok finally got a pic of the pool! Isn't it gorgeous?? and that bed thing costed me 3 bucks from Crazyyy Clarks :D. Yesterday we went swimming and it's amazing how quick little kids learn to do things, like swim. I remember the first time we went swimming in the pool, Moni, Rob's little sister was afraid of putting her head under water or lying on her back and she couldn't float/swim and 2 weeks on, SHE CAN SWIM, like to the deep end and back :O we chucked her in the middle of the deep pool AND SHE DIDN'T DROWN!! fascinating stuff ..myesh I can't remember the first time I actually learnt swim.

Moni swimming

Swimming

Ever since robbie got his pool nice and clean, we've been going swimming everyday for the past three days. It's so much fun :) Also, with my gym membership cancelled, swimming is a good form of exercise compared to my non-existant exercise! Bought an inflatable bed thing for like three bucks, really nice and relaxing.

(p.s. that's not a picture of his pool, but it's just as nice)

New toys for my birdies!

B is for Bowling

Went Bowling On thursday night --- > *NOTE* It's not $6 Tightas THursdays if you don't mention it Pffft what typa stupid rule is that!!! They charged us full price and when i askd if $6 thursday are still on, they said u have to mention it at the start or you don't get it TOTAL BULLSHIT!!! coz it's fucking advertised all over their website/counter area!! FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!! Nowhere does it say, if you don't mention it, you don't get the discount !!! ...Enough ranting for me..

Other than that, it was a great night out :) 3 things that i found utterly hilarious that night was that probably won't make sense ...more of a personal joke than anything...

1. A particular friend immitating another friend's bf (no names mentioned) with his extremely curry accent. Imagine this, You ask your friend what they are doing? and her bf responds with

"We are getting drunk man" with a really thick indian accent...sounds funnier in reality...

2. Tarun's name was spelt TAARU on the bowling scoreboard ...because he said it is spelt " T - A..*pause* A R ..U N hahaha.. T - A...A R .. R U.. U N..

3. Went to fast eddy's after bowling and kerri was having hot fudge sundae and she goes... "oh the hot fudge is frozen" and lisa's response was "uhh...that's the chocolate bits"

mmyesh..
