"Does he walk around on one leg?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, I know that guy. That guy's such a douchebag!"
I seriously lolled. We seriously lolled.

I have missed LJ. |
|
|
| Please give me your testicles! |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|04:54 pm] |
Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of building me a website & I need YOUR helps!
The website I'm creating is primarily to provide magic services for events, parties, anything.
Now there ain't no promotional tool more powerful than word-of-mouth, & here's what I need from you!
If you have ever seen me perform a magic trick(s), whether at a party, while I'm working @ Deville's Pad, randomly on the side of the road, casually sitting in a coffee shop or at a restaurant, while I'm doing relief teaching, or maybe you've live(ed) with me when I've just learnt a new trick & was trying it out on you at home, whenever, wherever, whatever, however, whoever...
Please, please, please, please leave me a nice testimonial here in this discussion board (...or as a comment on this LJ post) that I may use in the future to put up on my website. Please also sign off with a name that you'd like me to post on the testimonial page (Preferably at least a first name, if not your full name &/or organization that you represent).
Your message could be anything between one word (e.g. "AWESOME!"), or 2 (e.g. "Totally rad!"), or 3 (e.g. "Fuckin amazing dude!"), or a short story (e.g. "There was this one time, at band camp...")
I will be eternally grateful to you, & you may be able to claim my gratitude in the future with a well placed guilt trip.
You: "Hey Jon, could you lend me $6000 for my sex change operation?"
Me: "WTF dude, that's crazy talk!!"
You: "Remember that time late in '09, when I left you a testimonial for that magician website you were building?"
Me: "Aww shucks, ok I don't have $6000, but maybe I can contribute $50 to your sex change operation fund?"
You: "Dude, remember Hugh Hefner specifically said he read my testimonial, & decided to hire you for his Playboy Mansion party, & then you hoooked up with Playmate of the year 2011, & her twin sister, who happened to know Tony Iommi, & introduced you guys, & then he successfully launched your musical career, & the rest, as they say, is history?"
Me: "OK FINE, here's your damn $6000, now we're quits, leave me the fuck alone already!"
Thank y'all from the deepest, darkest, moistest, corner of this thumping thing in my chest.
Love, J.

| My ebay boo boo. |
[Aug. 21st, 2009|04:22 pm] |
So my ebay adventures seem to have escalated to a sort of addiction.
It's reached the point where I feel uncomfortable when I'm not expecting anything in the mail anymore...
The moment my last item arrives, I feel compelled to purchase another item.
Worse, I can't seem to just buy one item.
I'll start looking for one item, & end up buying a few.
Its so bad, but so good at the same time.
It keeps me excited about recieving all these gifts that really I bought for myself.
( A short story about a boy & his bicycle parts... )
Lesson learnt: Always read the item description properly before clicking on "Buy it Now".

| Mr Siow's 2009 update so far... |
[Jul. 6th, 2009|11:59 pm] |
Over the past month, I've had 2 classes to teach; a year 8 computer literacy class, & a year 9 finance management class.
Both were pretty cruisy, as the teacher who was away (from having some operation) had already set the kids tasks to do, so most of the in class activitiy mainly consisted of babysitting, which obviously meant that I pretty much spent most of the time chatting with the kids, & distracting them from actually doing their work. I learnt about the silly flash games that they play, & an online FPS game that they play which is kinda like half life, but I can't remember the name of it now. Of course, at some point(s), the cards did come out & I made use of the opportunity to hone & tweak my craft with the toughest of audiences, under bright flourescent lights.
Seriously though, I've also had some marking to do, & grading & reports to write. Now I've been honest with the students. When they asked if they'll get their reports back the week after they've handed them in, I told them that I've got alot of parties over the weekend, so probably won't have time to sit down & mark, but I'll try to get them finished the week after that, which I did. I also told the yr9 finance class that I am actually pretty shit at finance, but I have to mark their work. So I told them simply that if I learnt anything about taxation from their assignment, then I would give them a good grade, & if I didn't learn anything then I'd have to give them either a very good grade, or a bad grade. =P Turns out my marking is pretty alright. I'm pretty lenient though, as most of both classes ended up getting mostly A's or B's, with a handful of C's & D's.
Overall, its been a good term. I am liking this relief / part time arrangement. I hope next term / semester gives me regular work like that.
One of the little highlights of last term was when 3 weeks ago, a year 8 student asked me if I would come to her Home Ec class to try the food that she prepared. I told her I'm not sure if I'd have a free lesson on that day during that time, but if I'm free I will come. I told her better to ask her parent or a friend instead just in case. The next week, she reminded me again, & once more on the day itself. On the day, I was given a relief class to do during that time, so I said I probably can't make it, but will try to drop in very quickly if the class I was in was behaving. Not long after the lesson started, there was a knock on the door, & in popped Demi & her friend, with a plate for me. I didn't even tell her where my relief class was going to be during that period.
So yeah, I had a pretty good lunch that day. :)

First & foremost, a mighty big FUCK YOU to all the haters out there, & your tasteless jokes.
I sleep like a log. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling. The last time this happened, a friend I had seen the night before died in a car crash. Not thinking much of it, I went back to sleep. When I woke up this morning, the cause of that strange feeling was all over the news. My morning was very surreal. I don't like waking up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling.
A little bit of me has died inside. Michael Jackson was the only ONE musician & entertainer that had ever at one point in my life that meant EVERYTHING to me. Michael Jackson was the one that opened me up to music, that ignited my passion for music, the one that made me pay attention to music, feel music. He made me want to dance, he made me want to sing, & he made me dance & he made me sing. He was truly a superstar, the only superstar for me. Michael Jackson would have meant to me what Jesus might be for others.
Sure, he's long past his prime, but his music legacy is timeless. From being the sparkle in the Jackson 5, to THAT Thriller video that I used to watch until I pretty much wore out my video tape, & that epic Dangerous world tour in Singapore that he cancelled while a full stadium was waiting for him to appear, & the postponed show when he actually did turn up. The CDs I've played countless times & fallen asleep & woken up to, the MTVs that I'd watch, the dance routines I've tried so many times in vain to copy, the campfire interpretive dance I did to one of his songs, the movie, the sega game, & everything in pop culture when I was growing up.
Rest in peace, King of Pop. Still, & always & forever the king of pop.

Baby, I think we need to talk.
We've had our share of good times, but let's face it, recently things have changed. Ever since that one incident with Anne 3 years back, the one that led to that 5 way gang bang back in 2006, things between you & me have been a little bit strained.
I never blamed you, & I hope you don't hold anything against me. I know it was hard for you, being all alone while you were getting fixed. I did try to come down & see you whenever I could, & believe me, I tried so hard to get you out as soon as possible, but you know how it is, you were there yourself.
When we finally got back together again, I was so happy, my heart felt like it was going to explode. I wanted to take you everywhere, show you all the things you've missed, bring you places you've never been, & introduce you to all my friends again.
But it wasn't long before I noticed that you were starting to act a little bit different. At that time, I didn't want to kick up a fuss over the small things, I thought we could overlook them & move on with our lives. Eventually, the little things started becoming bigger things, & though it hurt, I stubbornly held on, being the typical Scorpio that I am.
This month though I think has been the last straw. You've just become way too demanding with your constantly throwing tantrums, & I honestly can't afford to keep pacifying you anymore. I can't always be strong for the both of us, I need someone who's got my back as much as I've got theirs, & lately it doesn't feel quite right. I know you've been trying, but I think we've had a good run baby, you & me.
So I think its time we went our separate ways. I need to move on with my life, & I can't let you hold me back anymore.
I wish for you all the best in the future, & you'll always have a home in my heart, but this is goodbye.

| Madd magic @ DeVille's. |
[Jun. 2nd, 2009|12:59 am] |
Here are the dates that I'll be working my magic in June.
Thursday nights tend to be very quiet unless someone is having a birthday party or something. Would be great if you wanna come & have a meal & hang out for a little bit. I have an hour shift from about 7, but I'll probably stay till 9ish or so, depending on whether there are (m)any other people there, or if I have anything else on that night. So anyway, for the month of June, I'm there every Thursday night, 4th, 11th, 18th, & the 25th.
Friday & Saturday nights are party nights, & you know what its like. Same deal, I start at 7, interrupting people in the middle of their meals for the next 2 hours with my cards. I officially finish at 9, but again usually stay on for a little bit more, especially if there is good music & a good crowd. This month, I'm there Saturday the 6th & 20th, & Friday the 26th.

| I want to ride my bicycle. |
[Apr. 8th, 2009|12:21 am] |
So today like last week, I cycled from Rossmoyne to Applecross for Lindy Hop dancing class. The ride takes just under half an hour, good distance, nice ride. Going there I took the freeway route, its faster riding next to the freeway (& I'm always running late), but there isn't much light at certain stretches, luckily my LED bicycle lights from Ebay have arrived & have been attached.
On the way home I took the riverside route. Its a little bit longer, but smoother & well lit.
The view is also alot nicer. I had to stop to take some photos...
Panoramic view of the inner route, instead of going the other way where the lights are on the left.
Close up of Mount Henry bridge that I love to ride under (& drive over), from the other side of the river.
This is the view under the bridge, heading North.
This is under the dark side of the bridge, taken from the other end, heading South.
(Yes, I rode all the way across just to take this photo, & to enjoy the ride =P)
My company for the ride.
I decided to take a photo of my favouritest road in the whole world.
Perfect timing, Perfect U-turn to fill the frame nicely. :)

| Maddgical! |
[Apr. 5th, 2009|08:48 pm] |
First, a really awesome video that really puts things in perspective...
Its been awhile since I did a proper update, but I don't think I'll bore you with how exciting my life has been. Instead, I'll just jot down the highlights of my maddgical weekend.
Thursday night I played my first gig @ Double Lucky in Leederville. Other than having no sound guy & an extension cord for my loop pedal, I thought it was a pretty good gig. Stripped back down to just an acoustic guitar & myself. I've been playing with all these gimmicks & toys so much lately that I almost forgot how raw just guitar & vocals are. Nontheless, its an awesome venue, free entry, pretty close to the heart of the city, next time I have a gig there, you all come.
Friday & Saturday were my first 2 proper nights of working @ DeVille's, & it was fuckin-fantastic. Best job I've ever had by FAR. Both nights after I officially finished my 2 hour shift, I just kept on going for about another hour, & then on & off throughout the night whenever someone requests to see a trick or whenever I see a bunch of pretty girls. =P It was awesome, everyone seemed to love it. Smiles & exclaimations & laughing & gasping & so many wide open eyes & open jaws. For the whole 2 nights, I only had one drunk girl who started going all aggro at me because she didn't want to move on to the next trick & kept insisting that I give her the card that she chose. I could've, but I refused cuz she was being really rude & obnoxious, & kept trying to spoil the fun. I asked her straight, little bit tongue in cheeck, "How much have you had to drink already tonight?" That didn't go down too well. Her face changed, she fakely composed herself as drunks do & replied with "I haven't drunk much yet, I can hold my drink, I'm far from drunk" blah blah blah... I mentally muted her moving jaw after about 2 & a half seconds. I turned to her friend, who was both very appreciative & worried at the same time, thanked her & told her to look after her drunk friend. Said drunk friend came back a little bit later on threatening to sue me because I had her signature on one of my cards. O_o
So anyway the point really was that I had a fuckin blast of a weekend. Had some great times on the dancefloors at DeVille's, Amps, & Sin as well. I even brought my mom to DeVille's on Saturday & had a little dance with her, & my sis. Was great being able to actually say "I hope I'm not moving to fast, but I'd like you to meet my mom" with a (kinda) straight face. =P Crashed briefly on Dylan's couch for less than 2 hours in the morning, woke up & walked into Northbridge & had a pancakes big breakfast, complete with 2 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 tomatoes, 2 pancakes, 3 hashbrowns, a whole lotta butter & maple syrup, OJ & coffee. Bumped into some yr 10 Rossy kids & greeted them good morning, told them I'm just on my way home from partying all night. Next week will be funny bumping into them at school if I get any relief work. Anyway, bussed home (mom drove me out to DeVille's last night), got changed & got picked up to spend the rest of my Sunday at a nice quiet beach in Rockingham with Chloe, digging holes in the sand, getting burried & turned into a merman, sunbaking dry until the sun set. Ice cream & hot chips & the long ride home where I am now sitting in front of my pooter & updating LJ.
Time for hot shower & snuggle into bed. :)
