Today's Dose of Sarcasm

Have you ever had that feeling how time seems to be running out, but also seem to be moving too slowly at the same time?

Sigh.

Sucks when you feel like time is moving TOO slowly because you're anticipating that final paper to end the mother of all miseries, but at the same time, it's running out TOO fast when you still feel unprepared for that last piece of dreaded godforsaken paper.

Stress does many wondrous things to a person. Seriously!
Look what the 'Ghost of Exam Stress' brought to our dinner table
...mashie, corn cobs, black peppered chicken and minced beef salsa..
So, okay... They do look pretty crap.. but still...

* nyum nyum *

And look what else did the 'Ghost of Exam Stress'
provide us with...
...a muse that left us drawing and coloring
to DE-stress for a good 30mins...

And if these drawings and colorings won't help us to de-stress in the next few days, we know for sure what will
- whatever's BEHIND that fridge door (a.k.a. food...) :D HEHE!
(blame the cold weather.. food = warmth)

scheduled absence

Today's Dose of Sarcasm

Dear readers,
We apologise for the absence of joy and happiness and all things fuzzy in your life since the publishing of our last post. This is one of the suckiest time of the year for all uni students - finals season, first semester.

**Hence, our absence.**

Please be informed that the Girls of Bardon will not be available to provide you with all that gummi-bear-filled, warm fluffy my-little-pony feeling in your tummy for the next week or so...

Extra info - Munks is first on the chopping board today with her first paper. Munks is having her papers today, the 19th and 20th. Lyn's having her first tomorrow, on the 17th and the 19th. And as for me? The last and (most definitely) the least too, the suckiest of all suckiness - my ONE and ONLY paper on the 21st.

Wish us luck! We need it. No, seriously. WE DO..

Till then,
au revoir~

spotted!

Left - Big flowering tree
Right - Big dying tree

It's autumn here. How ironic is that to have 2 very different trees growing beside each other, one blooming while the other withers away? This is proof that there IS life after death... how curious, interesting...

And then there's this little fella right here...
A young lonely (possibly orphaned) baby kookaburra perched up on a dying branch, staring into its uncertain future... where will his lonely flight take him to?

Was that emo enough for you? =D Did you see how I added in a little bit about death and the irony of it?? Or how miserable and cruel the life of a lonely kookaburra could be?? Haha. Damnit. This emo thing is not working out for us...

...Oh well, at least we can say we tried...

why so emo, emo?

Today's Dose of Sarcasm

Is it just me, or is there a standard rule or guideline for fellow bloggers out there to meet the criteria of being an emo filled with rage and angst in order to fully express the sufferings and misery in their everyday life of their doomed existence? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to notice a consistent pattern of bloggers having their life expressed in writing with such cheerless, depressing words. But just to justify things, we ARE aware of the different degrees of emo-ness in people. We also found different breeds of emos - the ones who whine and complain about their current lifestyles or lack thereof, the ones who speak in rhymes (in a non-Dr. Suess/Dr. Dre way) about the charms of death or the darker side, the ones who post up poetic lyrics of songs by bands that are mostly unheard of, the ones who bitch about other people or the things they have (which are merely nothing but words of envy), etc etc.

Quick confession - Lyn and I wasted a good 'ol 2 hours clicking thru random blogs we found from one link to another. Guilty as charged. Kepoh and curious, dangerous combo that one. Hence, the curious questions from our mini observation.

Now, don't get us wrong and be all judgmental about us being a little judgmental on others.. but we've suddenly come to realise that maybe our little blog right here is looking a little more like one of those cartoon-painted walls off a pre-school classroom. Somehow, we feel the obligation to conform and join the rest of the herd...

But heck, we're a happy bunch of monkeys so we apologize for the lack of expression of DEpression on our side. We don't mean any offence to those of you who DO write this way, because this is nothing but a little observation we had. And by saying so, we don't mean it to contradict what we say now against what we might talk about in our future posts. You know, like those people who say that they hate 'this and that', only to end up talking about the 'this and thats' that they didn't like in the first place! Haha.. Confucius say, "Stop babbling and get on with it!"
If anyone needs a cure to end their "miserable" days, we reckon that the best medicine to that is laughter. Yep. That's the kinda medication that WE get everyday. Haha. With the help of Munks being our main target of course. YAY MUNKS!

And if that little emo in you still insists on having a little violence and whatnots in your life, there is always that irresistable charm of those mimed fluffy creatures we love in the Happy Tree Friends. Violence is never the answer, but violence in cartoons?

Now, that's comedy!
See, life isn't so bad after all, is it?

teddy bears and PJs

Today's Dose of Sarcasm

...Would it be TOO much if we mentioned about Sex and The City for a 3rd day in a row? Haha. Don't worry.. we won't. But we ARE still talking about it at home till today. And many more days to come for sure... HEHE. Owh well...

good movies never go out of style!
That's for sure.

Spent the morning with our usual Saturday routine - weekend marketing at the West End Markets. Lunched out in the City after, and joined the rest of the Brissie herd scavenging through the malls.

The Sex Kitten store - lovely lacy corsets and dresses, kinky yet stylish.
(not to mention pricey, too!)
Rawr! or me-Ow?

Peter Alexander - Australia's infamous PJs and sleepwear store.
Love their jammies!

The tiny tots' collection (mini PJs for those mini kids but at those BIG BIG prices!)
And yes, you read right. They have 'gay gums' for chewing, too...

Current obsession - The Fifty-Four handbag line from Fossil

A random poster we stumbled upon - SEE. It's never a bad thing to be 'bulat' coz you could even get famous for being 'bulat'. NYEE!

And the latest additions to the house?

#1: The 'birdcage' wall stickers to add to our current 'wallflower' decor - found it at the markets this morning

#2: Having excessive accessories is never a crime.
Sales at Diva only cost us $20 for all this. Honest!

#3: Lyn's new hug buddy - the pink Peter Alexander bear

And a good hug buddy he was...
