Tis the Season!!!

It's SUMMER Down Under and FUN, FUN, FUN is hotting up!!!

Mainly...it seems like the time of year where lots is happening and also people are more free to visit...

so yes already concocting ideas in my head of all the fun things I want to do...

actually to be honest my place is quite a neat little sanctuary...no wonder people get so excited if they can stay over...cos it is a pretty "holiday-feel" in these parts, far far from the stress of work and city frustrations.

So anyway I think the next 2 days I will bother to go construct my little Christmas tree since otherwise my welcoming foyer just has a big vacancy...

I haven't put a tree up for years...how fun! :D

Music, art, film, good friends, good food...*contented sigh*, this summer I get to indulge all of my favourite things so much :)

I LOVE Venus in Aquarius people.

LOL after an intensive in depth study across the entire spectrum of the zodiac for the past couple years, my conclusion is Venus in Aqua peeps are THE BEST, my absolutely favourite!!! I was so happy to meet two in a row recently...may I encounter many many more :-)

I've also noticed that everybody has definite patterns about them if you examine their social history and circle...eg they always attract and repel certain types.

For me my favourites of the zodiac would probably be aries, aquarius, virgo, taurus, scorpio, leo, pisces, libra, saggittarius....all the others, eh I could take them or leave them I think.

This is one of my endless fascinations...the funny part is that my insights have become so "coincidental" that often now, women only bother to contact me when they want some kind of astrological info...usually consulting me about whether someone is suitable for them, lol...I really should look into it as a side business- but then, I'd feel so guilty for charging people when I have so much fun doing it, lol!

Are. You. GAME?

okay so obviously I'm not going to be able to buckle down until I completely vent this restlessness and allow myself to indulge one last aberration before the week gets underway...this blog post :)

So...I Love Games! I LOOOOVE FUN!!! I love a bit of...Adventure...

So...in a bit of Cheek I sent Good Sports Shan and Steve "Zhen's Hardcore Challenge- a Lethal dose of Asian-Australian..."

Basically it was a challenge of gastronomy representative of my unique cultural blend. I sent them 3 very foreign edible items with very strong flavours to consume representing Malaysia, China and Australia.

SOOOOO FUNNY! In the end it was the Australian component that got them...Vegemite!!! LOL...

Foreigners...Vegemite gets them everytime :-D! (Steve is to be highly commended though- I think he was tough enough to finish the entire blister pack.... straight!!!)

okay....now I am anticipating Revenge.

I'm Game...Bring it on!!! :-)

LOL some of us ;) obviously lead boring lives...

A Rowdy Night.

LOL I infiltrated my first "Boys Poker Night" and it was actually my first poker game ever as well!

Well I only went to bed at 5am and didn't sleep the night before so I don't have too much compulsion to say too much except...

haha, I didn't actually do too bad at "the game" ;) hehe, BEGINNER'S LUCK you say? Noooooo!

It was one of the most unusual experiences I've ever had...me, 7 men and poker. LOL

I think it was really good to get out of the "usual" and energetically it actually was very positive: moving some of the internal physical "stagnation" that had accumulated within my body.

I also found it really fulfilling on a personal level because many of the conversations I had just reaffirmed a lot of my own self revelations about myself and also that I am Exactly where I want to be, doing What I Want and Being how and Who I Want To Be.

And as a side note, it also reconfirms my awareness that "Age is irrelevant". Totally.

Cheers to Self-Knowing!

The Girls Are Going Camping!!!

okay sorry, just got overexcited in advance as per usual. Something to look forward to though...I LOOOOOOVE Camping!

:-D


my classmate was talking about how she saw The Milky Way for the first time(!) and then I realised that her and other classmates had never seen it before cos they're such city slickers- they hadn't even been camping in Aus(!!!)


"THAT'S IT!" I said, "We're going Camping!"

And they got all excited :)

LOL should be fun...going camping with a whole bunch of girls who have never been camping before...I'm only taking the tough ones though- no Princesses allowed hehe.

edit: USEFUL TIPS TO FOREIGNERS TRAVELLING IN REGIONAL AUSTRALIA

1. lots of water

2. sun protection & insect protection

3. let someone know where you're going and when you expect to be back

4. don't disturb or try and rescue wildlife...koalas and wombats etc have VERY sharp claws...

(real story I heard recently: a good samaritan backpacker rescued an injured wombat putting it in his rental car- it regained consciousness and tore up the car causing several thousand dollars worth of damage...expensive lesson! ...we have agencies like WIRES you can contact to go rescue the animal-contact numbers are usually posted on signs along the road in high occurrence areas)

Making Fun of Multiple Name Ambiguity

I loved this sillyblogthing which Caroline had on her blog. So anyway, hers looked pretty accurate to me so I decided to give it a go- across all my names...

especially considering I'm in the grips of total multiple name confusion...

I'm very aware of the fact that I respond differently depending on what people call me...

Results? Interesting!
