I took the tram to meet with the Pandas in Fitzroy - to make a bike! On the way there I went past a lot of really pretty things - flowers that had already started to bloom and a few houses that were covered in vines.
They took me to Ceres and while Ariel looked for bike parts, Andii took me around the park. It was way bigger than I expected. They sold plants and organic food and there were little swallow birds flying around. I actually don't think I have ever seen swallows so close before, they were so cute.
Pandas' ran into their friends while at the park, and they had really adorable mixed kids! It reminded me this time I was at a market with Vic and I saw this little half japanese boy who had the brightest orange hair. Ahh cute. I think it'll be pretty interesting to see what my sister's/brother's (or my) children will look like, hahaha. I cannot even imagine.
Afterwards, we walked, what Ariel said would be, "ten minutes" down the road to another place where we could start to assemble the bike! (it took us... a fair while longer than ten minutes, hahaha. but i couldn't complain cus i love walking and looking at things!)
The weather was being a little bit shitty and kept pouring down every hour or so. But we managed to put together half a bike! I learnt some of the names for things and it was fun to see where all the pieces went. I always like being surprised to see how many bits are needed for one object to work. I don't know, it is exciting to just see how things work because a lot of the time we use things and actually don't know what they're made of of how they're even made. I think it's such a great thing to pull things apart and see what it's made of - I actually just remembered that I did this so much when I was a kid. I loved taking things apart and a lot of the times I couldn't put them back together or, when i did, there would be an extra piece left or something! I think the best thing I wanted to be as a kid, was an inventor.
The bike shed was filled with lots of bikes. Some were super beautiful! We met Ariel's bike friend whose nickname was Chili and Andii asked him why that was his nickname and he replied, "I don't know." hahaha. I think Ariel said he was going back to Korea soon, and I just thought "man, I really want to learn Korean". The writing is just looks so cool.
The body of my bike is a faded pink... so more of a white. I am so happy it isn't pink, hahaha. The tires are white too, so it seems my bike will be white! While we were putting it together I was already thinking of stuff I could add to the bike. I think I want a raccoon symbol somewhere (no idea why I suddenly think raccoons are cute, I think it's because of pom poko ... because real raccoons aren't as cute as the ones from that movie)
We're going to finish the bike another day cus I had to run off to meet my mum. It was really nice to see both of them and so nice of Ariel to get the parts for me. Hopefully next time the weather wont be so rainy! I am actually so keen to have a bike yay so close.
I am excited though, cus Pandas, Sarah and I are seeing Batman on Wednesday! I honestly have tried not thinking about it because I know that I will get - too - excited. Elaine messaged me yesterday asking if I had seen it. She knows how much I love some people in that movie... so she is keen to hear my response to it. I hope it's good... I'm sure it'll be good O_O
OK - i'm not thinking about it. eee
That night I went to my grandparent's house because mum and the aunties went out on a fine dining experience for my Aunt's birthday. When I got to their house I had my super late 5 o'clock lunch (I wasn't feeling hungry at lunch time) I was actually so hungry I pretty much inhaled my pho. It was great. (felt so full afterwards though)
I bought two moon cakes for my grandparents and they were super pleased to have them.
I spent this morning sleeping in (which is nice cus I don't normally sleep in) and then I went to my Aunt's house because she had bought a bicycle machine. I do prefer riding outside, but it was fun to watch both my aunties sit on it and "test it out" and they were keen to see how many calories they had burned in 2 minutes. HAHAHA. Mum gave it a go and didn't last too long. I had a go too and pedaled for a half hour and that felt alright, I am surprised I wasn't tired. It was funny cus YL put on some really relaxing music and it was if we were riding through a fields or through a pretty meadow and then some scary music started playing and I felt myself riding faster. I visualised some cray people chasing after me. Hahaha.
I managed to give my grandma another massage before I left, she didn't seem as well as last week. It might be the weather that is effecting her. She told me, "I think I'm dying" and she has said it before to me, but I feel like she is just letting me know more often so that I am not sad/ wont be shocked when she is gone. She's really happy whenever I give her massage. Grandpa was heading out the door with my mum and grandma was like, "no no you don't have to massage me anymore grandpa is waiting you've gotta go and not let him wait!" and i was like "No! They can wait I'm almost done!" and she put on a cheeky face, haha. It was really good to see her and also grandpa this weekend.
GG, mum and I headed to the city. I spent the afternoon having a walk around the city with mum and then having some afternoon tea.
The sky was really beautiful between the stormy weather.
While I was up at GGPP's house I looked out the window and there were layers and layers of clouds. It looked like they were mountains moving across the sky. It makes me so happy to look at them, I feel so free from everything.
I wrote words in my book last night. I haven't in such a long time. I haven't written poetry or even just how I am really feeling. I am not sure why I had stopped, or why there was a pause, but I want to write there again. It is quite calming and sometimes helps me sort out thoughts.
Tomorrow morning I'm heading all the way to Springvale for chinese breakfast! I am excited, i hope it is yum.... Last week I was craving asian breakfasts (no idea why) so I found this place in Springvale that is meant to be super good... so I guess I will write about it tomorrow or the day after!
Nighty night!
