The Top Ten Best Things of 2006

2006-12-08T10:47:00.000+11:00

It is that time of the year again - to review the happenings of this year....I mean....a lot has happened to me over the last two years...and a LOT of them have been shit!!! However, in all the crap - crappety - crap crap crap I have experienced - surely there must have been some positives - THERE HAS TO BE!!!!! Since this year was more crap for me than last year, I have decided to only focus on 2006!!! I have compiled a list of the top 10 things that have happened for me, to me or around me and perhaps when you look back or forward at some of these things...in the limelight....you might just realise that this year wasn't so bad after all...it is just how you perceive it! As once quoted (somewhere - can't remember where...) "It's not what happens to you, It's what you do about it."

10. The Borat Movie - AWESOME!!!!!!!!

9. That Lord Mayor John So was crowned World's Best Mayor 2006 - "please enjoy" (however for my future campaign I will need to esnure that I meet this challenge and too, am crowned World's Best Mayor 2050)

8. That I have finally left Cooks' Cottage and getting somewhere in my career (once again...this is slowly but surely..however I do miss "Kooke's Koohrtage*" and my friends there *indian accent)

7. The Kylie Minogue concert is back on (and that the Pop Princess is well and fully recovered!)

6. That I had a Birthday Party with all the people that count and that was belly shaking fun!!!

5. Getting my rennovations underway and actually working on the house (which has given me the biggest sense of achievement)

4. Celebrating Eid (bigger than last year) with my wonderful work colleagues and friends

3. That I am slowly moving on after separating from Rhys (it is taking time though - but surely and slowly I am getting there)

2. That I finally hold, learnt and discovered true appreciation from my beautiful friends and family (it is not until you go through a troubled time or get married and are away from them so much, that you realise when you are with them, how much you love them and how much they mean to you)

and finally - taking the top spot of number one for the year 2006...drum roll please....

1. Dylan and Tessa's Engagement (congratulations to the both fo you!!!). If God/Fate/Life was to choose a couple to be the MOST loving, positive, fantastic, heart warming, gorgeous, happy, inspirational, funny, mature, ahead and ultimate couple - it would surely be the two of you!!!!! I wish you all the best and just everything possible and it was the one that topped my list for 2006!!! (I wish someone told me this before I got married - however I am definitely going to use it if I ever get married again (another quote from yet another unknown - who comes up with these...really you should give your name and take the credit cause they're good!) "You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without."- Author Unknown

Happy Christmas Everyone and All the Best for 2007!!

Bras'n'Bunnings

2006-11-28T22:00:00.000+11:00

Now I know what it feels like when a guy walks into a Bra shopping looking for a 5-way convertible bra with the clear straps by Berlei. Today I had to go to Bunnings to look for pavement sand...I walked it and I had no idea where to start... This store is a nightmare for the average girl...all these gadgets, electronic items, knobs, doors, outdoor equipment, hoses, timber....oh my gosh...will I ever find the sand I need....

Finally upon reaching the area with the sand I need, it was now deciding how I would lift a 20kg bag of sand into my trolley...I mean - yeah I am a little bigger than the average girl...but..these things weighed a ton....nonetheless, after getting some assistance from the skinny 16 year old school boy working their for pocket money...I made my way to the checkout...

After paying for my items and leaving this headache of a store...my trolley decided that it wanted to unload these items for me and hence in the middle of the zebra crossing, my trolley tipped forwarded and unloaded 4 x 20kg bags of sand into the middle of the main drive road in the parking lot at Altona Bunnings...I didn't know whether to just quit and leave the bags there or try and hurry and put them in my car (which luckily was just there) and act as if nothing happened or run inside and get the skinning 16 year old school boy and get him to help me.

After much quick thinking I decided to quickly try and put the bags into my car myself and to my aid, a lovely old Italian builder helped me - many thanks to you!

After my adventure at Bunnings, I will totally sympathsise with my next boyfriend when he comes back from Bras'n'Things with my 5 way convertible bra with the clear straps by Berlei and informs me of his adventures at and from the store!

Welcome to Airport Bragging....

2006-11-21T21:27:00.000+11:00

Wouldn't you just love to work at an Airport - minus the angry, tired, disgruntled, annoyed and miserable customers - who are tired of swapping flights, catching transfers, loosing luggage...I mean - the Airport is in fact is kinda a happy place - where tourists are supposedly going on holidays to some far off exotic destination.

But you know what else...airports are also a place which allows all sorts of people to brag...I mean, there are the tourists bragging to the people who are just there and not going anywhere that "they are going on a plane trip to an exotic destination" and then there are the pilots in their uniform with their bragging right of "I know how to fly the plane - you don't" and then there are the air hostess with their little trolleys of God knows what stating "we manage to look refreshed and made up 365/24/7 - you have just come off a 50hr flight from Khuzestan - via India - via China - via Singapore - via Italy - via America - you look like shit compared to us" and then there are the people who work behind the check-in counters with their brag of "be nice to us or if you are mean cause you are dealing with a screaming child and over tired wife - we will purposely place your luggage on a trip to Nepal, when you in fact are only going to Sydney" - then finally their are the ordinary people who are not going anywhere that have the bragging right of - "thank goodness I am going home”….

But nonetheless…at the end of the day – we wish we were all going to somewhere…whether it is a tropical Island or some European country with its magnificent history – so that we can have the ultimate bragging right of when someone says “have you been to this place” and we can turn around and say “I have…but have you?”

Mozma World, Party Time, Exccceeellllent

It is getting to that time of the year where I start to get excited!!!! That is right, it is time for my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! YAY!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!! Now for this year, I have decided that I am going to go all out and have an awesome birthday after all the shit I have been through over the last few months - well actually make that year - I deserve a party worthy birthday.

After sitting with my best friend and contemplating what I could do for my birthday this year...we kinda put something together...what was my happiest moment over the last few years - when I reflect I think of the joy of my Hen's Night and how that was the most happiest moment in my failed marriage. So I have decided that is what to do and...."To the Party Bus" we shall go.

I look forward to seeing my friends, I look forward to dancing on a moving bus (you think standing on a bus is hard....imagine dancing on a bus and secondly imagine dancing on a bus when you are drunk!!!! Now that is the ultimate challenge and with all those poles on the bus...who can resist a bit of pole dancing!), I look forward to dancing in all those tacky night clubs and wearing something that stands out like a cheezy tiara or feather boa and overall I just look forward to the photos which are sent around the next morning (another tradition amongst my friends) reminiscing on a crazy but fun filled night!

I can't wait!

It is time to go....

2006-07-30T14:01:00.000+10:00

Big Brother! Yep, it is about that time whereby the housemates of the Australian series Big Brother 2006 have one more day in the BB house! Oh how I have enjoyed Big Brother 2006 so much! It has been a huge series with the whole mother daughter Karen and Krystal scenario, "Game on Mole" with Anna, "we hate Michael/we love Michael" villian, "turkey slap" Camilla/John/Ashley incident, David & Claire "whhy....oh...whhhyyy...Claiiree" meltdown, "Jamie and like...Jamie" and finally the finale which is only one day away!

Boy I am pumped about the finale of Big Brother! What am I going to do when the series finishes, are their Big Brother withdrawal patches available, should have I recorded the whole series and then watched it so that is that never ending entertainment, should I have thrown an evicition party or winner party!

One thing though, is it is funny how after the show ends - give it one week and the start of Aus Idol - people of Australia will go "Big Brother 2006, now which contestants did they have...oh yeah...now I remember...gosh that was so long ago"...but instead I say "Bring on Big Brother 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!"

How Long Has It Been.....

2006-07-03T11:48:00.000+10:00

Since I update my blog. It has been too long - the Russell Peters one is now long gone and expired! Can you imagine if Blogging was like Milk - a food - it would have sooooo been expired by now! Why is it that we get into lazy moods sometimes and can't be bothered to do something....??? It is so weird - like over the last time I blogged, which was a month maybe ago, everytime I did or something that was bloggable, I thought I would do it. Then the time and moment would pass and I would say, well next time.

Well finally today, I thought - NO - I must update my blog! But with what....do I mention my love for Big Brother is going completing out the window since this so called "sexual scandal", do I mention that I was annoyed my friends and I couldn't get tickets to Russell Peters!, do I mention that I need a holiday, do I mention that I actually went on holidays over the last month that I didn't blog and it was lovely, do I mention that I have stopped my Lite'n'Easy dieting as I find that I am loosing weight and I am not on it or do I simply mention that I haven't done a blog for so long that I shall make it about that...I don't know....you decide.

Move over Eddie Murphy, The Umbilical Brother's, Scared Weird Little Guys and everyone who thinks that they are funny! A new comedian is about to become a superstar - welcome Russell Peters!

This Indian comedian who likes to take a risk punt (may I say a funny and comical innocent risk) at every nationality from Indian, Chinese, African Americans, Canadians, everyone!!!

His jokes are fantastic and very funny, looking at his childhood, cultures, culture clashes, shopping and his parents!!

He attracts audiences of such large and mixed proportions - so watch out Australia as he is heading to our shores in July (I think....)

BB 2006.....

2006-04-26T17:18:00.000+10:00

Ok - I have to admit it - I am addicted to the new season of Big Brother. I normally HATE this show, however for some reason, I feel compelled to watch it this year. I dunno whether it is because I want to see the weird and wacky outfits worn by the show's host Gretel Kileen, or whether to see the weird and wonderful characters that go on the show or simply because I am in that mood (you know - it's like when you wake up one day and decide that you really feel like eating a KFC burger or Big Mac for breakfast). What ever the case is, I am sorry to say that I am addicted (and deep down inside you guys know that you are addicted or want to watch it too!). I love the concept of Mother and Daughter (100 times better than twin bogan brothers), I loved the concept of putting a guy who thought he was straight, but infact wants to reveal that he is gay, I love the idea of a complete westie bogan chick who is just such a scrag, I love all the wannabe Ralph and FHM models, I love all the males who think they are the next male model for Cosmo magazine...oh...too many things to name. a Well better blog off - BB is about to start...."Housemates....This is Big Brother...."

I am updating my blog from....

2006-04-09T14:22:00.000+10:00

HOME!!!! YAY!!!!! I finally have a computer with internet! YAY!!!!! And not just any internet - BROADBAND WIRELESS!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! It is pretty exciting - that I can flick from pages so quickly without having to wait a whole day!!!!!! Now that I have the computer - what next - the possibilities are endless, MP3 Tunes, Internet Pages, Games, Chat Rooms, Information, Movies, etc.....

The only problem that ends my limitless posibilities, is the limit on my broadband....but that doesn't matter does it?!?

I AM OVER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS.....

2006-03-28T09:34:00.000+11:00

I am officially over DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!! Why did we need to extend this annoying time difference for the Commonwealth Games. My body is so confused as to what time it is! As it has recognised that Daylight Savings should have been over by now, and hence when I wake up at 6.00am and my body is like "nooooo - it is really only 5.00am. Go back to sleep, I command you to go back to sleep". I am tired and grumpy, I keep falling asleep on the train (whilst I am standing, wedged between a fat guy who reminds me of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and some snotty nosed business jerk), I need an espresso each morning, I want to sleep in the tiny beds at the Cottage - it is getting worse! Bring back normal time I say and abolish daylight savings. I mean, Queensland don't have it, why should we! I am over being tired....and all..zzzzzzz

Commonwealth Games, Lost Dog, Stolen Number Plates and a Stiff Neck!

2006-03-24T13:45:00.000+11:00

(Don't you just hate it when you haven't updated your blog for a while....)

Nonetheless the Commonwealth Games have started and are almost to an end in lovely Melbourne. Some many sporting events and so many fit and wonderfully physiqued (I know, I know - there is no such word...but anyway To Borg to you - I am going to include it within my blog) athletes - that my dieting has started yet again for the 100th time this year. Personally, I think when you are feeling a bit down in the weight area, don't go to events where the athletes are super fit and you know you could be as fit as them if you went to the gym a little bit and watched what you ate. Instead I recommend going to events where you know either

1) your body shape is waaayyy toooooo different to ever be the same shape as the athlete (for example gymnasts and tall people - gymnastic competitors need to be short, extremely petite and slim - hence an area not suitable for tall, slight overweight or volumptuous people)

or

2) you are almost the same size as the athlete and therefore would not feel any weighty issues(in my case discuss or hammer throwing or shot put or weight lifting in the 10000kg+ section! HA HA HA!)

Upon taking my advice - you will feel much better when watching your sport (and even better when you know that the athlete is bigger than you!)

Lost Dogs (getting away now from Comm Games 2006) - the other day I rescued a lost dog! Poor thing was sitting in the middle of the road terrified! I approached it in my car and tooted, but the poor dog was frozen to the road, so I overtook it and drove on. But two seconds later, I thought I can't leave that dog, so I went back and called it. It still wouldn't move, so an elderly gentleman that was taking his morning walk, helped me and we looked together for the owner, but couldn't see anyone, so he decided that he would take the dog and place it in the vet clinic when it opened! So to make a long story short - a lady did stop by at the vets stating that she had a lost a dog and sure enough this was her dog! What a happy ending for all!

My number plates were stolen (now moving away from the dog story)!!! I mean what sicko would want my number plates. They are not exciting or anything and don't have like words (IE CAT*123 or SEX*456, etc...) I want my number plates backkkk!!!! Thanks to the dickhead that stole them - I saw To Borg to you! You cost me $50 bucks!

and finally I woke up this morning with a stiff neck - I hate this soreness - it is worst than anything...I need a cure....what about some gymnastics...ha ha ha!

Squashed Lime, Balcony, Cocktails, Forgetfulness, Ugh!

2006-02-28T13:59:00.000+11:00

Why do people have the compulsion to throw things over edges??? I mean why is it that when we stand at on balcony, 15 stories up in the city, we feel the need to spit over the edge, throw leaves (or parsley) or in the case of my friends and I - small pieces of lime from our drinks....

I mean...it starts as a "no - don't do that - it's rude" kinda thing...and then goes..."oh - let's just do it once to see what happens"...to the point of "aim for the tram....damn...you missed".....ha ha ha!!

And it is also funny to see how people try to hide the fact that they are throwing stuff over a balcony...like disguising it in a cough....

Also...have you ever seen what lime looks like when it hits the side walk after having been thrown from 15 stories high....exactly the same as it does...when its in your hands when you are about to throw it...not very exciting...

Also why is it that when you have a few drinks at a party, you start to relax and act silly...and why do we laugh and find it soooo hilarious when we act silly...another mystery...

Finally - why is it, that when you drive you car to someone house, pick up your friends, and their parents drop your off at a party...that you decide, "yeah - we can have a few drinks" and TOTALLY FORGET that your car is parked at your friends house and that YOU HAVE TO DRIVE HOME!!!!!!!! It is only when your parents pick you up, and your mum says, are you too tired to drive home - that you realise in fact YOUR TOO PISSED TO DRIVE HOME....

My advice, don't throw lime over balcony edges, don't hold back on acting silly when drunk - laughter is the best remedy in case you hit someone from your piece of lime and finally remember if you are driving home - as it won't help when you remember when your pissed!

Nice Wang....

2006-02-22T10:07:00.000+11:00

What is more fun than sitting around with your friends and doing a HUGE mailout (and can I say a mailout to about 1 Billion people)!! You will notice that when you start a mailout, it starts with trying to find a system, and then when you get into the rhythm of things, it starts to go a little a crazy.

Take my friends and I, after a while we started saying every name of each person included on the envelope as quick as we could and then we decided to generate a sing song...

Another thing, it is funny to how many people on our envelopes lived in Hoppers Crossing.....and that are Indian, Asian or Italian!

Bloody fantastic and Nice Wang I say....

Reverse Parking.....

2006-02-21T10:11:00.000+11:00

I can reverse park...it is hard but I can do it!!

To the guy who laughed with us, then later said "Let me show you how it's done"...well I say Tuborg to you! You try parking with a bloody HUGE 4WD behind, taking up some of your space and a Mercedes in the front, that you don't even want to breathe on!!!

Also Tuborg to the guy who wouldn't let us park at Station Pier - you think your some hero cause your NOT! You're nothing but a HUGE DORK with your big ears and big nose! I hope that you saw me stick my finger up at you!

And to my friends who hung out with me that day and any other day of the week - LOVE YA ALL! You are so coolness! And NO TUBORG to you!

Now, which Un-ti is this.....

2006-02-18T09:49:00.000+11:00

The day before yesterday, just before I was going to go out, I went to say goodbye to my mum, who was happily chatting away to a new friend over the phone. Now, being Anglo-Indian, and having a very Indian mum, I noticed that Indians just love to chat on the phone! Nonetheless, I said to her, "mum I am going out now", to which she replied "come say hello to Sashi before you go". So I spoke to her lovely new friend for a while (this lady, Sashi, is just the most funniest and nicest lady ever) and as I ended the conversation, I said "Bye Sashi, I must go now". My mum then, in a nice way though, not rude whatsoever and more in a jovial way said, "You can call Sashi Aunty now".

And then it hit me - why do Indians make their children call any older adults "Aunty" (which is pronounced more like "Un-ti") or "Uncle" (which is pronounced "Un-kle" - with a lingering on the "kle" as in ankle). I mean, I can understand totally for the respect reason - which I couldn't agree more with - but how did this name reference start? Also you will notice that with older adults, such as seniors, they are referred to as "nani" (pronounced "na-knee") meaning grandma and "nana" (pronounced "nah-nah").

I have so many "un-ti's" and "un-kle's" that when I tell friends, they are get quite confused. And when asked how are they related and I have to explain that they are not, and in fact it is a reference we use for any older adult.

Nonetheless, it is an interesting concept and one I will certainly be using on future generations of my own.

Why is it that every time we make something nice and leave it to cool down for say, 10 minutes or so, that when we come back it is covered with Ants! I HATE ANTS! They are just disgusting and one of the most biggest scavenges. They are the seagulls of the insect world. We have ants everywhere at work and the smelly kind too! I just hate them! Why does the world need ants?!?

Annoying.....

2006-02-07T13:24:00.000+11:00

There are some annoying things in life...people who don't listen, people who ask too many questions - and which always end in "But Why?", people who interrupt you whilst you are trying to concentrate, people with terrible habits like clicking their pens, grinding their teeth or using the same 'ole phrase...do you notice that some people are just so annoying....and then there is this thing....which I believe was created by someone who wanted to seek revenge on all the annoying people in the world...and therefore had to create the most annoying thing possible and hence came up with this thing....
