LIFE IS A CABERET OLD CHUM! LIFE IS A CABERET!
Hey all my favourite peoples! Waz happenin? I have had the maddest coupla days twas plenny fun. I know I haven't blogged for a while, damn uni! Trying to multi-task all my assignments is no fun.

Anyways I had a great time doing the sound and lighting for Carlo's show I actually didn't stuff anything up which was good and I think they'll ask me back if they need help. Carlo was brilliant!(Send me the bribe via mail *wink wink*) I also got to meet his niece Bianca who he's always crapping on about who is just so adorable. After the performance he drove me and his friend Pascal to the show and we met up with Michelle and her sis at the showbag stand. I couldn't find her under all the showbags she bought, she was looking a little flustered. Her sister was walking around with a huge blue toy unicorn that she had won and she's littler than shell. Cos it was the last day of the show most of the bags were half price so we went nuts and I'm still trying to finish all the candy I bought :)

Managed to get shell and sis on the Ferris wheel which was kewl cos carlo and I could see the rest of the rides and figure out which ones we were goin on hehe. Then cos I had some Wendy's vouchers we all got some ice-cream and then shell and sis had to leave so we saw them off draggin their thirty showbags or so. By the way shell's sis was working at the showbag stands and she's been paid about $1000 for her efforts (she's 15) so thats where I'm gonna be next year dammit! We managed to persudae Pascal to go on the Rainbow with us which was mad fun and then Carlo and I got on the La Bamba disco thingy which is my flavouritest ride eva and b4 we left I got a Pluto Pup so I was pretty stoked.

Ok your thinking simple minds well mer to you, cos afta that we went to pancakes on da rocks and Carlo shouted us Nachos and buttermilk pancakes with cream AND ice-cream oh yeh thats a good pancake :) So I had a damn good day got to bed at 1am and then had to haul ass to work the next day. Sat night Carlo had another show so I did sound and lighting again thats the day he's whole family showed up and it was his mum's bday so his dad rented a limo to pick them up and carlo took photos of her shocked face lol which he showed to me in the car on the way there. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the afterparty with the performers cos I has to work again but I shud see if Carlo got to make out with a certain chick who's name I shan't mention heh.

Now I shall complain about Limmy who was very inconsiderate and msged me at 7:40am on SUNDAY MORNING with "hows dspp assign goin, I need help" when the assignment isn't due for another week. Hello ever heard of waiting a coupla hours geez. So I came in today to uni to help him with his assign and he decides to be impatient and calls me TWICE while I'm in the toilet like what the! But we managed to get his puzzle to randomise so I got bear hugs!

EASTER SHOW !
YAY! I'm goin to the easter show tomorrow and I'm so stoked! Showbags! Cheese sticks! Rides! woohooo! Okay so I'm a 20yr kid big deal I'm gonna have so much fun! Plus michelle's sista is working there so FREEBIES! I have my showbag list all ready hehe.

Getting back to the real world monday was fantabulously eventful. Two young girls brought in these cute black furred, blue-eyed, white-pawed kittys and I got to hold one! My manager wasn't too impressed tho hehe (evil-eye!) and she made me go clean up a honey spill in aisle five which was actually quite fun! It took five of us and I got most of it on the bin than in it. Let's also contribute my cheery mood to the fact that I got paid DOUBLE TIME on saturday AND monday so I'm rich yay! More to spend at the show! Pay day is today!

Fwoa we're on a good roll this week despite having to come into today to do THREE yes THREE assignments simultaneously how's THAT for multi-tasking! You may be wondering why my writing is so ! and FWOA. It's cos I have had completely waaaayyy too much sugar and have thought sooo much that my brain is dead. Oh yer time to go bug some people mmmwahaha ciao!

Mer
Hey all not much goin on here cept a lotta uni work. Besides that sooo damn glad we got two weeks off starting next week yay! Cept most of the time will probably be spent doing assignments boo! I have FINALLY picked a song that I'm goin to perform for the Idol audtions and everyone wants to know which is why I ain't tellin! Only hint I'm giving is it's from the Honey Soundtrack heh.

Missy "misdemeanour" Elliot will be gracing our shores on the 30th of May coincidently the day of the Idol auditions which'll be kewlies. Hopefully I'll also get to go watch the footy on friday Roosters Vs Broncos with my cuz, her friends, kris and his bro, shud be fun I haven't actually been to a live game before. Can I still scream out "run like your dick's on fire"?

My friend charlotte is in a panicked state right now she finished an assignment which was due today and lost it 3hrs before it was due. She's got about an hour left to retrieve it hopefully god willing she finds it :( Me thinks she's gonna have do to it again. Last but not least a promo for my buddy Carlo whos performing in Double Bay on Sat the 17th April at The Caberet 5. It's $60 for dinner, desert and a show so please come and support the local talent! You will also get to see lovely moi stuffing up the lighting and sound :P.

Sevendust/Incubus
Well I'm baaacckk! Yes I've had to spend some time recovering from the stomp fest that I've been undertaking lately.

Well friday was Incubus and Saturday was Sevendust I had a great time and I have the bruises to prove it!

Incubus was awesome however their support band Modular Lounge was not. Think Lash on crack ie, an all girl group with dodgy pop/rock tunes. After many cat calls and "get off the stage u suck!" they finally ended their reign of toture and the real fun began. Incubus opened with their new hit "Megalomaniac" which sent everyone into a frenzy and most of the songs were heavy moshy stuff broken by some slower songs. DJ Kilmore was on the ball tonight and the lead singer had a go at the drums which was MMAADDD! He also brought out some congos to beat along to. Famous for his need to do a cover or too he broke out into the classic "My Girl" which we all sang along to. Some of the highlights of the show, which I was happy about, were Are You In, Consequence, The Warmth, Redefine, Certain Shade of Green, Just a Phase and Circles. The highlight of the night was Brandon picking up underwear and shoes that were thrown on stage and giving them to the guitarist "cos he likes blueberry pies" (wha?).

OKAY SEVENDUST WAS DA BOMB! I have never ever seen a band who had two AWESOME support bands. Take note YOU NEED to download Full Scale they are awesome. You should've seen the look of shock on the crowd's face when they started to play. They have a great fusion of heavy riffs, metallic rock with some rapping and screaming. Also SUNK LOTO was in da house and they rocked the roof so by the time Sevendust came out everyone was sufficiently drunk and hyped up to truly enjoy. My brother had already downed 8 beers , a viagra (vodka+redbull) and some other weird strong red concoction which was great cos he was buying me drinks too and we made heaps of mates in the mosh. That was the friendliest crowd I've hung with shout out to Kimberly, Ryan, Brad, Kate and Tanya (I think). Unfortunately Kimberly passed out before Sevendust came on and Ryan and Brad had to carry her out so I didn't get to see them after. Svendust played the good stuff I haven't got all their albums so I didn't know most of the stuff but they played Waffle, Denial, Praise and Angel's Son. Tho I wish they would've played To Close to Hate and Home. Lagen was da best and kept coming up to us seeing as we were the only black ones in the crowd. I missed out on so many pics and drumsticks they threw out (damn the shortness!). The highlight of the night was the guitarist playing Waltzing Matilda and everyone singing along which was classic!

So I'm stoked about the weekend and even more happy cos IDOL IS COMING! My posse, my crew we gotta et it together and head on down to the Convention Centre Darling Harbour on May29th & 30th. Seeya there!

Depressed Scandanavians 101 vs Vatsla Fest!
Hmmm where to start, where to start?

Ok yes I know I ain't been blogging lately and theres a lot to catch up on but I intend to remedy that. One very IMPORTANT detail today is that I have FINALLY got the Ask Dr Vats section up and you are all invited to post your "issues" hehe, it's under the Rah's Friends link. Theres also a poll to rate Vatsla's evilness so be sure to vote! It's a Vatslafest!Mmmmwahhaha let the write offs begin!

Anyways back to the real world, argghhh!! I had Jim Underwood for last weeks It and Prof lecture (sucked in Mandikins!) and he is just so damn weird! All I learnt was that there were depressed scandanavians in the world and that Jim's in with a tribe of "South American mystics that take weird drugs", thats a direct quote mind you I wrote it down :P Plus we got an unwanted insight into Jimbo's private life, thanks but uh no thanks.

I'm stoked because my Incubus concert is on tomorrow yay! And Sevendust is on Saturday double yay! So I'm gonna be sufficiently roasted (North Shore term). Which reminds me I gotta put up a dictionary of friend terms (bodgilly = to do something notso gooda). I'm also stoked because my brothers friend SOS has come good with some free studio time for us, apparently it comes with the course he's doin at JMC so we'll be sure to use that starting next week. I'll put up anything we record here so watch out for dat.

Another good thing is my friend Carlo will be performing in Double Bay at some place, will have to find that out. Anyways I've been asked to do lighting and sound so's I can get in for free which should be interesting. Can't wait to see him singing his heart out.

Our gang in the PMQA tute has been dubbed by Bernard Wong as the "Wedges Gang" and I have a feeling that the name shall stick followed by the "Wedges Corner". Why? Do you ask, well me n Mary was very hungy so on da way to tute we bought a big box of wedges with sour cream and chilli yum! Anyway we got lotsa comments about the pleasant smell and Bernard just couldn't stop coming over and staring and we did offer some but he declined. I also had to call Nat in the middle of tute to ask if she was enrolled which also got some laughter (thanx bernard!) I think everyone in the tute knows me by now (even when Im not tryin to cause a scene...).

The DSPP lecture was also upset by Andi's antics this week, yes I think he's gonna be doin sumthin stupid every week. But it does entertain the kids. Lingard was writing very small on the board and us blind ppl can't see so someone suggested that he write it on the projector but he was stubborn and decided instead to write it larger because "he had no pen or paper". So at this point Andi took it upon himself to pick up some paper and a pen march to the front of the theatre and bang it onto the projector which caused an uproar of hooting and clapping.

I got to hang out with my girls on Monday, shelly, romes, mandy and I all got together after they knocked off from work to have dinner and watch a movie. We saw Thirteen which was crap I thought and we stuffed ourselves with lollies and timtams. Also the day later shell msged me saying she got sick and threw up three times poor bugger. We blame the tim tams which were past the expiry date (I warn thee not to purchase from Seven Elevens) but incredibly me and mandy ate the same stuff and are fine. She still doesn't want to blame the chicken nuggets!

By the way I highly recommend IT Prof and Society where else can you have an ethical debate with your tutor and always be right? I'm off now more work to do on this thingy and I gotta clean the house, mum's gone away for the week yay! But she'll be back, better reverse the festiness.

That was a Hoot! Haha Limmy!
I got to uni on tuesday to do a "Focus Group" which was worth getting up early for cos I got TWO yes count em TWO movie passes to Hoyts haha eat your heart out! I can see y'all sucking up so u can come to da moobies for free and I'm tellin ya lots of beggin will be involved.

Well after that I realised that I had four extra hours to spare til I had anything on really. So after pretending to do some work I caught up wit my cuz who studies at Sydney Uni and we sat there and talked about how UTS is just so much better :P Well after that I headed on to the Compsoc office where my ole buddy Andi was also doing nothing and we both sat there and did nothing in unison (twas great) Did I tell you Andi is the president of Compsoc now? Good thing too otherwise asses would've been kicked! Christian and Marcus were there too, chris was trying to teach me the finer points of PHP (wha I dun get it!) when some lawyer dude dropped in so he kicked us out of the progsoc room. Marcus found that the webcam was working hehe so we spent most of the time spying on christian and lawyer guy who were making out...just kidding! And then Marcus realised that you can see the street via webcam and spent the rest of the time perving on girls walking around outside (yes I know, so sad). These three second years came in a little later and there was praise to Marcus for his webcam stalking(men pfft) and I got invited to a LAN party, give in to the nerdiness! I also got abused by Jase da bum who is happy now he has his own set of shiny new keys with double digits yay! The power! Too bad your still Andi's minion :P

Just want to let everyone know that Andi is the very proud owner of two businesses, he's got a whore house and a crackhouse and his motto is "it's good, it's fast and it's cheap". Which was provided by our good lecturer Gordon Lingard who was talking about code at the time, but this is much more interesting. Speaking of lectures we went to ours after the four hours were up and that was pretty fun cos everyone was rowdy and lacking of sleep and all hyped up on caffeine. Unfortunately I got caught out when my curry friends from across the room got my attention by giving me the finger and making faces, and I decided to flip em one back when Andi (who was sitting next to me) decided to get Mr Lingards attention. So I do believe he looked up just in time to see me making a face and flipping the bird at the same time gee thanx Andi! Most of their convo was about the evilness of SDP and how Andi doesn't have to do it no more. I do belive Lingards direct quote was "there always has to be a smart arse".

Of course Andi cacked himself silly which was good considering he only had four hours of sleep and needed the humour to keep awake. I think it was during the lecture break, when someone decided to go ask good ole Lingard a question and stuck a piece of paper that said "Sean is gay" onto the projector when Lingard wasn't looking, which caused a chorus of laughter from the students and a couple of slaps on the back were given to the victim (good sport!).

Also Limmy who was sitting on the other side of me, blames me for losing his green pen lid and thought it was funny when I said the chick he was checking out looked like she belonged in Final Fantasy. Twas fun buggin the crap outta him tho, I think I pointed to every asian girl in the room and asked "so would you go out with her?" Truc and I almost died with laughter when Limmy told us he's been putting SUNSILK CUSTOM HIGHLIGHTS in his hair! Omg the thought of a blonde limmy is just too too scary. It was when me n lims were checking out the chicks that limmy came up with the misguided friend quote of the week. Dialogue is as follows:
"See the chick next to the pretty one with the pigtails?"
"Yeah"
"Wait til she turns, she looks like a man"
"Lol what!........Oh yeh I see it!"
"She must be smart"
"Are you saying that smart people can't be pretty?"
"No I'm saying that most women that look like men are smart"

Hahahahahah I'm sorry what the? Thanx Lim, I've never laughed so hard :)

Kids oi vey
Argh I feel like shizen und iz veen rotten my brainz sos ine been talkings like ziz underfudenan ze vundabubbles! Lets just say a cold is slowly turning me into a vegetable stay away! Thank god it was after working for the last three days.

God bless work it keeps me partially sane, but ze kids oi vey they are everywhere! Two little girls and their father were being served at the register next to me when they got curious about the cash drawer. Dialogue is as follows:

"hey lady is there money in that drawer?"
"why yes there is"
"oh can we see it! can we please!"
"please!please!"

On top of that the younger girl decided to grab my pant leg and not let go til her father left. I dunno about you but it's kinda hard to serve people when your pants are slowly sliding down....Hmmm, I wanna turn but something seems to be attached. I couldn't open the drawer either cos the blessed child's head was in the way (she was quite small). Hmmm let it open and knock her unconscious and face a lawsuit or...not. (Some of you evil people might find it tempting)

For all who've watched the last samurai this ones for you. Remember Taka's youngest boy? The one who was all hypo and ran around and made the funnniest faces at Tom Cruise? Bingo bango I have found his twin who nearly managed to run over a video ezy employee. His just a little ray of sunshine that one. Does anyone have a muzzle! Speaking of kids good news for my supervisor Sharon B, she's having a GIRL WOoHOOO! Given she wanted a boy but I'm glad it worked out this way! I get to run out and get all these cute little pink thingys with the little thingys on the thingys yay!

Torrents of Shat / Moleman is a popcorn hog!
I'm still trying to decide if today is a good day or a bad day and I have come to the conclusion that today has just been plain ole weird. Read on if you want to experience the weirdness...

Ok I actually had to wake up EARLY today which I'm not used to since most of my lectures are at night. I was stumbling down the road towards uni with only the thought of Hot chocolate with a lotta sugar egging me on. So I grabbed one at Maccas and I was actually a 1/2hr early so I went to building 10 and ran into Romilly (Roms) at the Interface room. I logged into msn and the kevsta was on and happened to be at uni so he managed to find me and bug me for 1/2hr before trotting off to maccas for breakfast.

Got to the lecture found kath and minh flopping about on the sofa. Then I had a stroke of luck cos mary and steph showed up and I found out Mary was in my tute and didn't have a partner so we teamed up yay! Considering I had been freaking out about that for a week I thought twas very very good. We got into the lec and amazingly cullie made an appearance which was freaky cos that makes it three days straight now and he's been breaking his vow to experience uni as little as possible. Even when he was in my SDP team I only saw him once a week so this was just cullie overload!

Lecture was soooo boring spent most of the time bugging mary and minh and doin simpson impressions with cullie, "my cat's breath smells like cat food"-ralph wiggum. Went to tute after that and thats when it all started. Got a second stroke of luck when we found out our tutor was one of our lecturers (Bernard Wong). Who happens to be really funny and kewl for all who know he's an older version of Ray from fourth year. He managed to call everyone's names out wrong (Nazi-ah Hafitz!) gee thanx.

Anyways the guy Mandy has dubbed "moleman" whom we've always seen at the lectures since first year was in my tute. Why moleman you ask? He always appears dissheveled, hair array, eyes half open. When he comes to lectures he looks like a mole whos just risen from the ground. Anyway he sat next to me and now I have solved the mystery of our moley friend, his real name is Sam and not so moley now adays cept Mandy freaked out when I told her lol. The only worrying thing is the rate at which he consumed the popcorn I brought.

Well, now tired and popcornless I got to the bus stop and had my lunch with a seagull sitting next to me staring intently. Bloody thing decided to change angles when I told it to bugger off. All of a sudden there's a big broohaha and all these birds start landing at a spot near me, someone dropped some food. Ok having one bird dive at you is scary enough, having 30-40 pigeons and seagulls narrowly miss you brings visions of them all deciding to crap whilst flying over you. I had this image of being covered in a torrent of shat and just be this white covered blob holding a sandwich. Now you think thats bad, how bout if they all decided to turn around and go back to whence they came.

On top of that some old chinese man decided he'd be an ass and feed a whole loaf of bread to the birds NEAR ME! So yes I suffered the invasion of the birds again so that was quite freaky. Finally got on the bus a little shaken and encountered a band of hyperactive teenage girls who kept yelling out the bus window at people "hey your shoes are BLEEDING!" and roll over with laughter as people on the street looked bewildered at their feet. We went past a group of asian ppl and they took photos of them and yelled "dun worry we're tourists! smile!". When I got off the bus I think I was deaf in one ear.

I got off at east gardens solely to pay my stoopid uni fees and then there were issues about the accounts argh! So I schlepped it home and I'm just pricking my sausages hehe (I'm cooking tonight).

Psycho slashing Panda Man!
Here's a tribute to William Hung! She bangs she bangs! Here's to the most popular civil engineer in all history! Check out his web site http://www.williamhung.net/ !

Ok with that now over I'm at uni again I gotta go to another night lecture dammit but it's all good cos my buddies who do full time will be there hehe. Just walked in to find Jenjen's SDP group here. Me thinks I'll be seeing them more often which is kewl cos then I get to annoy the crap outta Nick :p I just managed to blind him with some hair gel. Oh and Truc has a date! hehheh They're goin to watch Passion of the Christ oh how romantic (not!) Here's a big Happy 20th Birthday to Roma yay! Your getting old hunny! Dun worry I brought you a special sumting ;) (k thats gonna freak her out)

Last night was pretty uneventful except this guy sitting in the Lecture in front of us had his laptop on and we spent more time concentrating on the mad Psycho Panda game he was playing which had this guy in a Panda suit hacking his way through all these chinese guys with straw hats and he happened to have this little panda dude strapped to the front of his suit. Couldn't really understand what was happening cos everything was written in Chinese, the things that country comes up with lol.

He also had some mad animations he was watching especially a lot of Mashi Moro episodes. For those who are not enlightened, Mashi Moro is a psychotic rabbit thingy who spits on ppl and farts and bashes people up. A lot of violent humour from such a cute little thing. There was also two stick figures bashing the crap outta each other with UZI's and knives and bazookas which was hilarious and some strange Saddam Hussein sing-a-long (would the real saddam please stand up?). So as you can see I was deep within the learning process...

Carson rules/ Stoked!
Hey guys I'm at uni it's so very, very boring. I came in early to meet up with Nick and have some pho. Pho = vietnamese noodle soup. Except I'm wearing a white shirt today and inevitably I ended up spilling stuff on it (trust). Jinny still holds the world title for spilling ice-cream on herself tho. Thanx to Nicole for being the only one with enough sense to post a frikin comment! Yay first comment on this site!

I saw Queer Eye last night which rocked go the surprise proposal! Carson is da kewlest, funniest gay guy I've seen. Carson have my babies! I'm also super stoked cos I FINALLY found out who the support act for Incubus is which is....Modular Lounge! I have no frikin idea who they are bah to that! However Sunk Loto will be playing with Sevendust which totally rocks! I can't wait! Moshi Moshi!

Well there's gonna be a lot more stuff happening to this site when I can get around to it *ahem*. Including some sections that my friends will be hosting including...wait for it....ASK DR NAGPAUL! Thats right it's now your turn to Nag the Nagpaul (Vatsla) that is and she will solve all your problems!!! (Ok will have to put a disclaimer on that) Oh yeah I'm trying to set two people up so if you guys or girls are interested their details will be posted up soon hehe (sucked in Limmy and Steph!) Also I've put up a new section on concerts and presales for events so you won't miss out on your favourite acts when they come down under, super!
