introspective

so feeling rather introspective today
mostly because of a bit of a 'talk', read: tiff i had with my parents this morning
the usual 'have to get your life back on track etc etc.' type talk

now dont get me wrong, i do love my parents
and though we do drive each other NUTSO NUTSOOOO at times
i think i am incredibly lucky to have them

but they, like most other parents i m sure, suffer from this little thing called
'Wanting The Best for You'
i.e
'Wanting What They Think Is Best for You'
i admit, they might have a point with some
like, joining the gym again
but these two issues below we cant ever seem to find a compromise

minor bone of contention
i love my sleep ins.
to my friends and i, its like GOLD.
nothing beats the feeling of not having your peaceful slumber interuppted by an rude alarm, and not having to rush off to do anything, being able to lie in your warm fluffy bed till you want to get up.
and since nothing annoys me more then mom coming into my room in the morning, nagging at me to get up, which she insists on doing as 'sleep ins = lazy attitude to life = failed life'
i get the living crap irritated out of me. especially since i only get 2 sleepins a week at most.

major bone of contention

i do enjoy dentistry
and it is something i can imagine myself doing for a long long time
but when it comes down to it
(and also is what i cant find the words to explain to my parents)
i want more.
its all well and good to be a dental student, but my life is bigger than that
i dont want to attend uni, go home, study, sleep and then repeat the whole cycle again
while i still have my health
i want to try everything and anything, go to every event, have every sort of friend under the sun, have no regrets, never say never
and i dont want to wait till tomorrow, because what if tomorrow never comes?
the biggest agony would be having a life half lived, a boring life, a life with no colour, no drama

i want to spend my life chasing beauty, capturing beauty, spreading beauty and having beauty.
and while dentistry does come into this
i also want the beauty in an exquisitely prepared meal, a finely cut outfit, a delicate heel, a symphony, a brushstroke, a hand gesture, laughter, the sky.
a perfect night out
a well taken photograph
drunken escapades
an open life

thats why i m restless now (also slightly spendthrift but thats a different story)
and i cant be what my parents want me to be
a studious, steady, placid character
i need to find all that i m looking for
sooner rather than later

james dean once said to 'live like you will die tomorrow, and
dream like you will never die'

thats what i want
now, how to make the old fuddy duddies (i say this the nicest way possible) understand?

ladygagagagggagagaga

dont think i ve been this sick for a long time
i m just a mucus machine, churning out the stuff

amusing myself by singing along with amy lee cause although i ve lost my voice,
the dulcet(okay croaking) tones of my voice actually seem to make an appropriate backing track. hehehe

but i tell you, if mom (yes she s back!) makes me drink anymore chinese herbal medicated tea CRAP i will throw up flowers
oh yes i will.


JasonGaGa turned 21 on the weekend
<<<<<<<<<<<<333333333333333333

massivelongpost

sorry for the lack of recent updates but its been a hectic few weeks!

how about i give you the keywords and you create a little story in your head?
;)
call it an exercise in creative thinking if you will
(or an excuse for my laziness, but we ll let that slide)

Greedy Kevin, Lindt cafe on Collins St, sneaky iphone hijacking to update his facebook status, chocolate overdose to the point of nausea, lava cake and St Moritz heaven, trying to sneak away a piece of nut slab but ultimately forgetting to slip it away


Gay clubbing at Peel, entry refusal at IQ, icky sicky vomitting, Kylie and old school Britney songs, pre drinks of goon juice and Midori, sore new piercing, making the Robot dance cool again

Anna, Reina and Max's birthdays, boat cruise on Yarra river, creepy stalker, new Ungaro blazer stained with vodka sunrise (!!!), Riverside song, sparkling wine hangover the next morning in clinic with no show patient, thankgod. novel hangover cure- brekkie at Nasi Lemak house with extra spicy chilli.

Happy Cook duck dinner, Nunawading, peking ducks, camphor tea smoked duck, crispy aromatic duck, DROOL, happy tummy.

Dentair cocktail ball at BLVD, $12,000 bar tab, dressing up as cabin crew, watching scandals take place left right and centre, staying till club close, vodka shots with vodka-lemonlimebitters-double in a tall glass please-chasers, vodka shots again, last minute Jaegerbombs, lost hats and sticky fingers.
was on the organising committee for this, and had a mad fun time. :D


went to Queen Victoria market the next day with Bri and Nic to grocery shop
saw these in a pet shop and was like an Eureka moment

why didnt i think of it before, PET BIRDS!
cute as a button and less allergy triggering than the dog/cats
not as boring as fish, and did i mention, cute?

heehehehe.

made beef pho that night, which is a vietnamese rice noodle in broth dish. even pickled some onions, which i m not sure if the viets do for this, but i love anyway. the dish was so yummy, and incredibly easy to make!

tried making pad thai at Bri's place again last night, but that failed.
is making good pad thai at home even possible?
collectively, this is our 4th failure. whats the secret, tamarind sauce?


Nic is an incredible baker. had green tea mini cupcakes and souffle for dessert/snack. She's Le Cordon Bleu trained! hahahaha.
there was also apple pastry, but that was eaten before i remembered my camera.

oh, and i made a 'new things to love' list over dessert

new drink of the moment: vitamin water and vodka
new food: PAD THAI
new TV show: rewatching Friends
new crush: Joey Tribbiani
new restaurant: the Italian 101 Collins St
new hobby: tying cherry stalks into knots with my tongue (thanks kk!)
new clothes obsession: panel cutouts, clean Ungaro blazer, stone coloured anything
new events: Sleep Couture runway, Jason's Lady Gaga themed 21st, Melbourne Spring fashion week

had lots of fun/stress casting the models last week, but finally it looks as if our runway show will be great!

Mom flies back in 4 days.
4 days of freedom left!
joy is tempered by relief though,
finally FINALLY there will be some clean clothes and major groceries done.
and someone to baby my rapidly fading, squeaky, phlegmy voice.
wooo hoo!

lavish

i m so pumped!
