snail tales.

so its been awhile since i last posted, sorry about that blog..

It seems that i go through phases.. at one point i'll post everyday and then at another i just cant ever be bothered.

moving on from this i'd like to tell you all a story..

I arrived in singapore around 6.45pm local time.. which means that for all my australian friends and family it was 8.45pm.. i like adding 'local time' after '6.45' because thats that the pilots on the planes say..

as you should know, i've come up to singapore 3 times now, because my dads working here, because of this i know the entrance to singapore like the back of my hand.

so as we're walking out of the Qantas terminal at 7.15 (i know, the baggage terminal took FOREVER to return our bags) we get into the taxi and i'm feeling quite relaxed and happy, which ofcourse, is quite nice..

sometime later we arrive at the apartment and go down for dinner, as we're walking my dad tells us of the.. wait for it..

GIANT SNAILS!

thats right, GIANT SNAILS that make their way on to the path we need to cross to get home.. and apparently they come in PACKS! which would be impossible for any other kind of snail but not the SINGAPORE GIANT SNAILS!

its actually quite unbelieveable i had not yet seen a SINGAPORE GIANT SNAIL!

anyway, all was well and good untill the next day, after dinner, when Kathleen and I were discussing how nice Bradley Cooper was looking in the A-Team (awesome movie by the way, you should totally check that out)




as i said, nice right? oh and sorry about the poor quality of the picture, first i typed in "bradley cooper" but couldnt find a picture that expressed his 'nice-ness' and then i typed in "bradley cooper, a-team" and singapore said "bradley cooper, a-team" may return explicit adult content and has been filtered by your Bing SafeSearch settings.Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content

so apparently Singapore thinks i'm being dirty by googling bradley cooper..

interesting huh?

anyway, back on track..

as we were disussing Bradley Cooper and the A-Team i saw a hideous big blob of mush on the concrete next to a big rock thing.. i cant really remember what happened next but Kathleen says i screamed like a little girl, did a star jump in the air - while screaming (which i think takes skill), and ran for 5 meteres before screaming again "WHAT WAS THAT!"

The worst thing is that i did this near a construction site, so preety much all of singapore's workers heard me..

heres a picture -



this is actually a GIANT 'african' SNAIL from africa.. i got the picture from wiklipedia so thats not even my foot, personally that colour nail polish doesnt do jusice to my skin tone. anyway, overlook the fact that this is an 'african' GIANT SNAIL, and just imagine its a SINGAPOREAN GIANT SNAIL!

you can not tell me you wouldnt be scared of that thing.. its like a breed between a normal small sized snail and another medium sized invertebrate..

So that was my GIANT SNAIL story, i have quite a few others, not GIANT SNAIL stories but others..

lie when we went to see A-Team and after the movie we got ito the lift and there were all these asian boy teenagers and the were muttering in chinese or something and then one of them pulled out his phone and they all started singing along to Justin Beiber.. complete with hand movements.. i must admit i was impressed :)

Sigh.

normally i'd be opposed to posting twice in one day - but i forgot something in my first post..

and it is this.

what is 'this' you ask.. well 'this' is probebly my favourite song of the moment..

its amazing that the killers can be top 40 and yet so totally and awesomely unique at the same time..

no one has a voice like brandon flowers..

-sigh-

he is a god.

so i think you should check it out (or him out - because at around 1.14 to 1.42 he is d.i.v.i.n.e)

dont ask me what it is about him, i just think he's gorgeous..

happy..

so, i think its time for something new.

the past few months have worn me down... completely..

i think that i maybe need this trip to Singapore a lot sooner than i thought.. thank god its only a week away..

and i really need to pay more attention to this blog, which i have undoubtedly placed in the back of my mind since the 9th of May..

and this problem has an easy fix - re-decorating..

its such an amazing thing,

replacing my pink flowers with a nice french linen from Shabby Blogs , and adding some new buttons is going to make my blog seem so much.. happier..

so i think thats what i'll get onto when i finish this post..

love x

mothers day.

May 9th brings some worry to me.

if you dont understand why then you obviously have your dad or older brother/sister worrying about what to get your mum.

yes. thats right. its mothers day!

but i dont have that luxury, as my dad is currently abroad. in fact, im the oldest sibling so hooraah to that!

being the oldest has its good things, like being able to go to the movies when your little sister cant, and being able to say 'i can go to the movies' to your little sister in italian ( posso andare al cinema. ) i mean, not all people can say that but i thought i'd put it out there.

but it also has its bad things, im sure kathleen has been able to do some stuff i couldnt even dream of doing at her age, even if i cant remember anything for the sake of this blog.

but i'm getting off track, what i really wanted to say was thankyou.

to my amazing mum, who somehow manages to keep me and my crazy 10 year old sister at bay.

i honestly believe that without her we would become modern day cave-women.

she is unbelieveably caring, inexplicably beautiful and astonishingly strong, and i love her very berry much :)

so thankyou mum.

and happy mothers day.

love,

Cherry Bomb.

oh.my.gosh

i am extremely excited world.

what about? you may ask.

well, to answer that i think i need to supply you with some background inromation.

today, i was busy doing some science revision and then i thought -

'i am going to die if i look at one more nucleus'

this thought was followed by -

'what can i do to restore some of my sanity?'

and then -

'hey! i know! i'll look up movie trailers on youtube!'

i also think that i need to tell you all that i have a thing for movie trailers, i think that they are perfection. What more could you ask for? its the perfect combination of video, music and diologue all summed up in 3-4 minutes!

so i was preety excited when i came across..

THE RUNAWAYS!

if i failed to ignite excitement in you then i am truly sorry, but there is something wrong with you.

The Runaways were a 70's all girl american rock band, i think they were actually the first all girl american rockband but dont quote me on that.

anyway, they are completely amazing.

plus they have really cool names like Joan Jett and Cherie Currie.

and Cherie Currie once wore lingerie on stage, which is preety cool.

so i clicked on the little youtube tab thing and up pops Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart which just about broke my heart.

but its actually okay because they arent that bad at portraying the originals.

Here's the link to Fanning and Stewart singing 'Cherry Bomb' which is freaking awesome. The Runaways - Movie.

and heres a link to Joan Jett and Currie singing it. The Runaways - Original.

if you watch them both, i actually think that Fanning and Stewart didnt do a bad job, even though i actually havent seen it :)

but i will! as soon as it comes out!

dreamworks vs. disney

normally i'd cringe at posting a disney song,

actually, thats not true because i love all the old-school disney movies like the beauty and the beast and snow white and most obviously, mulan.

but this song if different, mostly because it doesnt fall into the princess category and its not something out of a lame-but-cute musical and also because its from 'dreamworks' not 'disney' so therefore, its all okay :)

that being said, click at your own risk.

Jonsi - Sticks and Stones.

happy birthday alice :)

just a quick post today, maybe i'll blog abit more later..

but for now i'll just let you all know that it is alice's birthday!

for those who dont know who alice is then thats probebly a good thing, considering that if you did you are probebly a stalker.

but you should all check out her blog. because shes actually a great writer :)
