I went to visit Vic at Design Made Trade on Saturday to say hello and offer any helpppp. She took a break from her stall and we went outside to meet Peggy who was tied up. Peggy sat on my lap and she was so affectionate... she wanted to lick my face a couple of times... I did not let her lick my face. Vic and I plan to go to see the jewellery exhibition happening at the NGV sometime next week. She seemed pretty exhausted from the trade fair and I hope she gets a gooooood rest tomorrow!! She was laughing at me when I decided to try and have another conversation with the guy in the store next to hers. Apparently he is looking for an intern and I am keen on applying... but am afraid of how much more awkward I can be. I don't know why ... Maybe he and I are on really different wavelengths.
I spent the afternoon and night at my grandparent's house. Mum cooked Sarawak laksa and it was really delicious. I think it's super high is sodium and has lots of coconut cream though, so I have been a complete fatty this weekend, indulging in the goodness of my mum's cooking.
It was my kind-of aunt's birthday (my unrelated aunt) and we had cake and ice cream.... : ( it was yum too.
I stayed up watching TV (I don't have a TV in my apartment, so whenever I am at my grandparent's I always seem to watch at least one thing) I was watching masterchef repeats really late at night and they were making stacked up desserts. One contestant was making this see-through candy box and she melted the sides together and it reminded me of joining metals together.
I woke up today to texts from Jenny who had just arrived in Sydney. She was on her way to NY and Sydney is her stop-over. It was actually so so sad that she was in Australia but not in Melbourne. I felt as though I could literally feel her presence. I hope she's having a good flight ~
I watched Rango with mum and a lot of things died in Rango. I hardly remember any of my children's movies having characters die... I haven't seen Bambi yet.
I gave my grandma a foot massage and talked to her about her life. She told me that she lived in the same flat till she was 12 and then moved house. She had 7 servants - one for each child in the family. The servants carried her bag to school and brought them food at break time. I think the word "servant" is probably not the best one to use, in chinese they are called "ahma" and it's more like an aunty who lives with the family, but in this case there were 7 living with her family. My grandma's first animal was a cat.
After we had lunch, my grandma called me into the room she was sitting in and was waving 30$ at me and said, "take itttt." and I was confused and said, "umm, what for?" and she pointed at her legs as she said, "for the massage!" ahhh, I found it so silly want to pay me for that. Hahah, I laughed and told her that I gave her a massage because I love her and I want to make her feel happy. After a while of waving the money at me, she refused to put it back in her wallet and gave it to my mum instead (who was happy to receive it) = =
While was massaging her, I was just hoping to give her legs and feet some comfort and rest. It might sound silly, but a lot of the time I give massages I feel like I am absorbing the pain or tension from the person.
Anywayyyy today was nice. Mum and I had afternoon tea together at the NGV and I walked home from there.
When I got home I was so exhausted. Vanni called me on Skype and I told him I was way to tired to communicate, so he played me songs on the guitar which almost lulled me to sleep. I'm going to enjoy the few weeks with Vanni being in almost the same time zone as me.
I have noticed that have unintentionally associated a lot of my friends with animals or just have friends that associate themselves with animals. Some people just look like the animal, some of them have the animal traits.
Friends have associated me with llama, cat, bear and carrot. Llama is the funniest out of the animals. Viv and Sak call me the that = = cus of high school moments in Taipei, haha. Carrot because I drink carrot juice and my friends thought it was weird.
Ok, so I've made a quick list of the animals some of my friend's are + another list of non-animal things I call certain friends that i can think of. (All these people know I associate them with this animal/thing, it's not just me being a cray)
bear
cat
crab
lamb
panda
unicorn
underwater bee
--
banana
rainbow
paper queen
potato
wifey
our shared love for PAUL bakery! Hahaha
Wow I just thought... If I found someone who I associated with the sky... I'd probably love them intensely HAHAHAHAH oh god i'm tired.
sleep sleep sleep yay
