Update
Fri 24 Feb night
I dropped in on my pares cos Grandma was complaining that she hadn’t seen me for Chinese New Year (which our whole family, including Grandma had celebrated a week early cos my pares were performing in Chinatown on the w’end of NY). Lucky red packets are given out so I collected mine :) Thanks Grandma!
I then went to dms0’s pares place for a BBQ with J. & G., T. and C. & L. Of course there was a feast - of chicken, sausages, salads, bread rolls, potato and pumpkin mash and chocolate Bavarian dessert. I had a great time catching up with everyone and didn’t get home ‘til after midnight :P when I stayed up with my boi a little longer to watch some teev.
Sat 25 Feb
Huge sleep in then I went to pick up A. so I could help her decide how much to spend on a piano and helped her pick a good piano learning book. We visited Allans and Academy of Music and I picked up a proper b’day present for M as well. Great day :)
I chilled out with my boi for the rest of the night and rested my bum as much as possible :P
Sun 26 Feb
I was too sore to do coffee with some friends in the morning :( so I rested up so I could go to the Dirty Dancing stage production with Joon :) The program was $20! And you could buy Dirty Dancing trucker caps, underwear and Kellerman’s t-shirts - crazy :P Joon and I cheered in the right places (tho I have watched the movie several hundred times more than she had). Joon expected more singing, I expected more dancing and we both expected more acting and production but it was enjoyable enough even from balcony 2 (somewhere in Cairns) at the Lyric Theatre. I was laughing at the ladies in their 40s sitting next to us - they whipped out their binoculars every time Johnny Castle took his shirt off :P
Mon 27 Feb
Another pretty full on day at Music. I spent the evening doing a music-related CV for inclusion in a govts grant application that the 4MBS man is going for. *fingers crossed*
Tue 28 Feb
Well I’ve spent the morning stressed and depressed but it’s all good now that I’m at call centre work cos I can’t be expected to do any other work. But really I’ve got all of tomorrow to get a lot done. I’m a bit panicked about getting my Masters done which is brought on by all this Music work that points out how little time I’ll have to work on my Masters now. Anyway, panicking is useless so I’m slowly calming down.
Among my other worries is not having any smokes which results in a cranky household, having a messy household and still having a sore bum interfere with my life.
So while I have my knickers in a knot and my bra is strangling me (why is size 14 too small for me??), I just don’t know how to finish this sentence and that about sums up my day today so far :P
