Take a deep breath, and let your mind soar

haha i'm so cruel that such things appeal to my wicked sense of humour.
one day my lack of sympathy in unfortunate situations is gonna come back and bite me in the arse.
hopefully when i'm not on the toilet yea?
another thing that made me crack up is when i was shopping and found this T-shirt that said 'Fat Kids are harder to kidnap' lololol. no picture - my camera was out of batt :(

went to phillip island overnight

very nice beach scenery, serene and calm and quiet in a very peaceful sense. the feeling of being alone and far away from everything surrounded me and instead of feeling at peace and letting everything go, i felt strange, like i wasn't used to such stillness. have i forgotten how to relax?

see the thing about drives like these is that it tends to get boring, and your mind tends to wander back to those thoughts *the ones you push to the back of your mind and that nag at you when you have nothing else to do.

but even those can get boring.

we were really bored.

another shot when we came down to stretch our legs.

octopi anyone??
i absolutely refused to touch this dish. regardless of how my mum advertised it, i always remember this particular episode of CSI where a woman died after a 'fine-dining experience' where this nitwitted lady swallowed a fresh octopus that hadn't been wrapped right around a stick and its tentacles got loose and stung her inside her mouth. *shudder* that left me scarred.

phillip island penguin parade! i realised by this point that my sister seemed very attached to this blue jumper so it made sense that there must be something special about it. i tried it on and i realised it's darn comfy. i refused to give it back after much to her dismay and made her wear my black jacket instead :P

i love penguins cos they are so fat and improportionate. (is that right?)

we sat on the beach waiting for it to get dark with a bunch of tourists.. my mum is so cheap she lied to the ticketing lady and told her i was under 15 to get a family package -_-''
no photos allowed but i'm sneaky. didn't get any of penguins though, cos it was dark when they came shuffling ashore and flash was too risky.
soooo cute. at the beach a feeling of serenity finally settled on me, and i forgot all my worries for a moment as i listened to the waves swishing back and forth, back and forth, the steady murmur of tourists pouring in to fill the benches, and it came to me right there and then that it was the work of God's mighty hands. :D
sidetracking, there was this really cute fat little penguin that was so fat he kept on falling over on his tummy as he waddled/shuffled awkwardly in his small huddled group of penguins. he was left behind and just as he was about to make his way up to his burrow, the ranger (her back was to the penguin and she didn't know he was behind her) got up and he was so startled that he fell over and promptly ran as fast as his little legs could carry him back to the water :P
i watched him for the rest of the night mentally cheering him on to make his own way back, which he eventually did after walking in a few circles. what a cutie! :)
the penguins were really small though, i was squinting so hard to see them that my contacts nearly fell out (they were getting dry too)
as we left, it was a cloudless night and someone next to me said 'Look! there's the southern cross!' and i looked up and.. :) it was a clear sky full of glittering stars. *** i don't know what a southern cross looks like though ..

on the way back we passed a carnival.. thankfully, no clowns at this time of the night or i would've freaked out. really don't like clowns. but i had the biggest urge to get one of those massive stuffed toys sitting there, and as we walked further down there were these trampolines.. and i wanted so much to go on them but i felt so awkward doing it in front of my family for some reason. as we walked away i had a strange surge of disappointment like i'd just walked away from something really special.

the next morning we went to a puzzle house.

my sister doing an austin powers :D

getting some action in the mirror maze..

ha.ha.

i bought a 1000 piece disney jigsaw that was a mosiac of disney picture frames combined to make one picture. gonna do it next hols.. wanna help me? ;)

i love this lifehouse song.

OH i forgot to add, i passed my L's and its got a good photo!! yippee! i drove today. i think i left my dad traumatized. he was holding onto the handles tightly with a tensed expression on his face. and i have this problem of not knowing which direction to turn the wheel in when i want to reverse in another direction.. plus my brain dysfunctions - my dad was yelling at me to turn faster, and instead of doing that i interpreted it somehow as drive faster and i slammed down on the accelerator and the car shot forward.. whereupon my dad gave a strangled noise and grabbed the handbrakes.. when the whole ordeal was over he looked strained and was panting -_-''

im still very enthusiastic about learning though ^^ but i don't think my dad wants to teach me anymore. :(
