We can't get the couch through the door.
If anyone want's to buy a 4 seater black leather chase - I'm selling it for $1000 - you need to pick it up from Oakleigh - where it is currently having a holiday as our neighbours were getting cranky at us for keeping it in the hallway. Shame, I'm going to miss that couch. I paid $2K for it and it is where my husband said he loved me for the first time.
Other than that, life in Prahran is rather grand. I went for a walk yesterday and discovered that there's a Dumpling Bar opening soon, and that there's an asian grocery store around the block. I like living here. If we get bored we can look at what's going on downstairs. I feel like I could write a anthropological thesis on the culture of Chapel St from my balcony.

In the words of Michael Jackson, This is it.
In about an hour, some people are going to gather in Geelong to look at some papers, exchange some papers, and then send fax to seedygirl . At approximately 12pm, she will then ring my husband and announce the official settlement. He will go and get the keys - and try not go into the apartment until I can come with him. All of this happening to my first property... while here I am, stuck at work!!

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight Here One Day Gone One Night
He's gone too soon, the misunderstood ultimate artist who inspired the way [he] made me feel. He's the dangerous dancer who jammed to keep the faith. He rock(ed) with [me], all night and we blamed it on the boogie. He's bad stranger in moscow who's childhood screamed that I'll be there. He rocks in the treetops all day long, rockin' and a boppin' and singing that song. He found a friend in Ben, and taught us how to love with ABC. His earth(ly) song(s) didn't make any children give in to [him]. He told those allegations and the tabloid junkies to beat it, but they didn't really care about [him]. Maybe now they will leave [him] alone. His thriller didn't leave blood on the dancefloor. He became a smooth criminal, when he was caught as a speed demon, but at least he got to be there. He got us to come together and remember the time. He told me it doesn't matter if you're black or white. He attempted to heal the world. He taught me to start with the man in the mirror. His history didn't stop till [he] got enough, but at least this time around he had a smile. If only he had one more chance.
Tell me I'm not dreamin'. To the King of pop, whose genuine work made such a significant impact on the world, I just can't stop loving you. A human too, he is not invincible as heavan [couldn't] wait. One man could make a difference. Michael Jackson, I want you back.
Remember The Times Do You, Do You, Do You, Do You Yeah Yeah

Just like when you're 13 and you find your first pubic hairs, I woke up the other day to discover that I had grown some breasts. Not extra breasts, just worked on the ones I already had.
Like, FINALLY!

Imagine a world where you could bypass the hardship; forget the rent and the mortgage, and concentrating on saving up to explore the planet, move to neverland The Netherlands, never having to work again, and studying art... yeah, that's a world I'd like to live in.
Day 1. Our first day our on the market. Inspected 7 apartments in the St Kilda area, but didn't fall in love with any one in particular. Dressed to the nines: high heels & red lipstick; like we had a million dollars. Decided we like the For Sale tag rather than Auction. Learning tricks of the trade... what to ask, what to say, how to say it, and what to keep to ourselves. Had a coffee on Acland Street whilst wading our way through the piles of glossy finished 400gsm Property files that we had collected in the morning, and were waiting to inspect later in the afternoon. What tossers. But we had fun. Now we're dreaming of what we can do with our current situation, and if we borrowed a little bit more. 15th floor in Southbank...? + gym + pool +, +, +... ? hmmmm.... I'll sleep on it. :D

On Friday, Laurens and I celebrated 2 months of marital bliss. It doesn't seem like long to be celebrating anything, but the time has passed quickly, and it was at 2 months when we got engagged. Those 2 months of courtship seemed like quite some time - at the time - but upon reflection, it was very quick, so the surprise voiced by so many people is now justified in my mind.
As for the marriage... I think this is turning into a fairytale ending.

Only 18 hours since I last posted, yet I'm back at school, in this cold, dark, wintery weather. It's 3 degrees, without a breeze, and I left home without both my gloves and scarf. Boo. Luckily it doesn't seem so bad, as technically today is the last day of school for me; tomorrow is professional development: a day spent at the Ian Potter gallery at the NGV, attending a lecture about John Bracks, and enterence into his exhibition. :D

It's period 6 on a wet, windy wednesday afternoon. It's freezing at the school which is covered in a thick blanket of fog. The night lights are already switched on, and we cannot see past the car park. Year 9 Film School. Most of the students are shooting their music video, a couple of them are being rat bags and I have a few quiet but good students inside with me, working on a graphic for their video clip poster. It's too cold to go outside and I dread the drive home. Only 20 minutes to go. I'm sleepy and I want to be in my warm bed with Lau, under the electric warmth of the blanket, watching movies, and not here in suit pants.

On Sunday, 8th of March 2009, I married my husband Laurens at 11am, at the Royal Botanical Gardens. Laurens and I met about a year ago, and moved in together in November last year. At 9am cere picked me up in his stunningly hot electric blue chevy *pictured below*, along with quickjadefox who was Maid of Honour. The day was beautiful, it didn't rain, shared with people I love and like, and ended up at the Royal Automotive Club of Victoria, at the Carbine Bar for a small reception. Thank you to everyone who participated and joined us for the day, it was very special. Specific details I'll leave to the moment of the day... we are currently editing the video to send to his parents.
The Wedding Party Bridesmaids: Andrea, Kat & Kate, Bride & Groom - Tammy and Laurens, and Groomsmen, David, Nick & Ian.
A Draculas Wedding Who would have thunk it?
Thank you to pornstar_440 & frisky_bear for the professional photographer they hired for us!!!
uh-oh spagetti-oh Pants turns 26!
Two days ago, it was my birthday. As we had already started back at school for Term 2, it was a work day... but it wasn't all that bad. Having conveniently organised a Year 11 VCE Art excursion to ACMI & NGV to see the best of the best of 2008's Year 12 work on this day, and some famous international artworks by Picasso and Rembrandt - artists we have been studying in class; I didn't have to drive the hour into school, and met the students under the clocks at Flinders Street Station. Taking 30 students to ACMI & NGV on an excursion on 'ye birthday was a great idea... having said students ambush me with party poppers & home made birthday buscuits, then having said students send in a birthday message to be displayed on the Federation Square screen :D.
THEN;
Lunch: Chicken tandoori salad with spiced rice & lime spiced papadum at Time Out restaurant.
THEN;
Wine & spicy wedges and a whole bunch of bowling at Strike on Chapel with the husband, after having been embarrased in front of previously stated students when he met you at the gallery with a pink birthday girl party hat. WITH GLITTER! And shiny streamers! As per usual, I have always been relatively crap at bowling. And bowling at Strike was worse: how could anyone expect me - the crappiest of crap at bowling to possibly see with their neon lights and glow in the dark pins with my tiny aging asian eyes? Rigged from the get-go, it is needless to say that Laurens won, although I did manage to get progressively better with the consumption of wine.
26 ain't all that bad.

So the initial asking for permission to marry with my mother didn't go so well.. its just not the way she wanted it to be. However a few days later and it seems she's more excited then we are.

I need to borrow a 1955 Chevrolet Belair Convertible + driver in red for Sunday, March 8. Other colours & similar makes could be considered...
Wedding plans are all steam ahead - T minus 1 month and a few days and counthing.... venue - booked; celebrant - booked - a local celebrity who'll look David Jones hot in the photographs. Theme - undecided - however I've got visions of a 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' concept - with beaded white vintage wedding dress, and matching Tiffany's wedding bands to match. These things are currently unfound as I type these requests for opportunity... still deciding & factoring costs.
Invitations will be out soon - we can only have 220 guests at the wedding - technically, although everyone is welcome for the after-ritual feastings & party time.
Wedding day is looking somewhat like this: Morning ceremony in the botanical gardens, shared lunch picnic by the lake, then party on at the Belgium Beer Garden dressed to the 9's, with a public holiday the next day. RAD.
Also, we're looking for a photographer to take snaps on the day - we're not hiring someone who will overcharge for small prints or who works by the hour. Any volunteers?
Thank you for all the well wishes... and the expressions of caution; actually Laurens and I have found everyones VISA issue/concern in this situation HILARIOUS... uhm.. this is not a scam - our relationship and feelings towards each other is genuine... and aren't I the asian one in this relationship....?

Well we can see how long I've been grieving for.... pfft. Satisfied with reflection and understanding I've justified the discrepencies and am ready to take over the world. What a waste of attention. To infinity and beyond!
We could take a walk into the Canyons of the fifth avenue Sing and Dance Just to name a few.
Opportunity. Presentation. Questions. Consideration. A chance to save the world in 4 seconds, to heal the world, and renew that twinkle of hope. All packaged in a body of muscular perfection.
And if I heared the Angels sing I'd Sing it back to you and bring the Sound of heaven ringing just for you
Just when you thought that luck had you down, that your misjudged character perception had flown out of whack, and that you couldn't think of anymore dodgy combinations of colloquial sayings and complicated adjective structures... Fate appears from 'nowhere', and whilst a history of negative and misinformed choice related situations may have occured, finally some good ones poke through the seams. And if I saw the sun fall down I'd pick it up and make a crown One that was a perfect fit for you.
Moved beach-side with my oh-so-spunky Dutch man-friend. Speaking of that perfectly formed upper torso of that blonde man who appears to be my Superman... to save me... oh wait. shit. sorry. Lost my train of thought. We could take a walk Into the apple orchard by the school We could make a little residue
Freedom in our appartment, what took me so long? Couldn't have asked for a better situation. The sun is shining brighter today, as we decide, we shop, we pay, we play, we construct and we live in the beginning of tomorrow. We could find a place to stay A secret little hide away Spend a little time inside of you

Come,
To enter or be brought into a specified state or condition.(dictionary.com)
As you are As you were As I want you to be
I can't ever be that person. Never that girl, never that woman, what I want to, and what you want me to be. "... hey at least I like your personality"
As a friend As a friend As a known memory
That's all it was supposed to be. But friends don't sleep together. Knowing me - which you claimed to do - under all circumstances one would have not "gone there" . There is so much I should put right here - but perhaps it is not appropriate for a public domain. Thank goodness for Backspace.
Take your time Hurry up The choice is yours Dont be late
I was too late. But for the months leading up to the decision, I spent much time trying to decypher the situation, the people and the person. Understanding heals the wounds - or so I had thought. Having always given the benefit of doubt -- incase intention was miscommunicated or misunderstood -- I put it in that basket. But when it is now revealed in one cold word in a alleyway domestic - speechless.
Undoing all the work that someone had carefully redeveloped personal positivity with over the course of a year - debates and put downs that everyone usually suspected were jokes - it is a fact that I cannot change/reverse/remove. I spent years attempting to remove the yellow that soils my skin - partially - and then finally accepting reality - who I am, what I am - my body which seems to never be quite right,,, girl, too fat, too skinny, lack of breasts, lack of penis... asian(!).
Take a rest
...
As a friend As a known memory Memory ah
So what do I do now? Friend? Enemy? Non-Ex? What the fuck was it. What the fuck did it mean. Time and time again. Expectations. Suspicions. Rumers. Accusations. Lies. And this, the biggest lie of all. Lies can also come by keeping information too... Come Doused in mud Cept in bleach As I want you to be
I suppose, that at least.. I only half repulsed you. Yet you let me in, made me stay, ...and knew all my fears. I cleansed your life and put you at peace with so many things... forgetting mine which lurked in the background... only for once again... settling down... comfortability... and then BAM! Whacked in the face AGAIN. A social conditioning thats ripped me to shreds as I loose myself in humiliarity.
A a friend As a known memory
And I swear That I dont have a gun No, I dont have a gun.
That's not my weapon of choice.

I wish I'd see a field below I wish I'd hear a rooster crow But there are none who live downtown And so the day starts out so slow
Today is another day. Wake up. Turn the alarm off. Sleep in far too long then panic as I race to work; breakfast and make-up in the car. Teach some. Eat some. Feed each of my 16 baby darlings. Make sure J is okay. Listen to W whine at me. Listen to H accuse me of telling him off for no reason -- I haven't said a word -- Receive some 57 new emails but only attend to a few; answer a few calls from International Division. Ignore the rest. Go home. Nap. Set up the laptop, work onward. Sleep at somepoint. Rinse. Repeat.
Again the sun was never called And darkness spreads over the snow Like ancient bruises
And here we are again. The deviant nature of evil men who are out there to have 'their turn'. I'd almost be reliving the sequence, only this time I woke up in a place I know with people who care. Then I wake up again; vomit on my clothing, daylight, outside. Car. A phone call... driven home. For the very first time. Attempted memory. Gone. Blank. Lost. Time lost. How much time lost? WTF happened? Why can't I remember? And why do I not have a hangover...?
I'm awake and feel the ache But I wish I'd see a field below I wish I'd see a field below
Drink spiked. But who? why? how? WHY! Why forced?
I wish I'd see your face below I wish I'd hear you whispering low
So cold. Just want to be warm, and - forgive the gay - held. Tight. Eyes familiar. Tell me everything's going to be okay, baby. No more tears. Just thought. Stone; cold; thought. Haunting my every recollection of what, where, how, why, who...?
But you don't live downtown no more And everything must come and go
Wake up. Alone. Not my bed. Not my clothes. Not my underwear! Showered, warm, mango juice greets me as I pick up my phone. Messages. A knock at the door. Friendly voice. Clothes washed & dried, still warm from the dryer. Where did the day go?
Again the sun was never called And darkness spreads over the snow
Did anything happen...? Don't think so. Thank god Levis provided the product perfection I asked for earlier that day... "the tiniest pair of black jeans known to mankind..."
Like ancient bruises I'm awake and feel the ache But I wish I'd see a field below
Time repeats itself; sneaks up on you like cheap gstring on a hot day. Shock value; complete. Attempted forgetfulness; failed. Video Footage: mortifying. Pixelated darkness etched in my mind. Engraved with a shhhaaarrpppp scream of the metal as it's scraped away deeper and deeper and lengthier in the pitch high in decabel. Paranoia... unbelievably uneventful. This is a good thing.
I'm awake and feel the ache ...I don't even know who he is.

I had to close my eyes
Definition, according to personal accumelated reference, is that which is identified as clearly stand alone from that identity of another, and which is meaningful only to those who use it in that specific semantic social context. Yes, something has been on my mind... after a collection of days:months:years of redefining, recalculating, reviewing, reassigning, clarifying and deciphering my definition of such an issue, I find myself once again questioning my definition... or perhaps questioning the pretendingness of REdefining the issue to its more current, and perhaps more appropriate definition.
You must have wanted the world to know
But would that which we call a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
And now, they know
