The new ZORB~

Been a while since I wanted to do something about my hair. Ever since my cheap JPY700 hairstyle back in July last year, I was never really satisfied with the way my hair is growing and the compromising trims and cuts to my Nelly Furtado wannabe hair.

I had the urge. The urge to chop off all my hair so what better way to do it than to have a stylish BOB. Then you see all the media frenzy on Posh Beckham and her "POB" - Posh's bob. So I thought it would be nice to have the Victoria Beckham wannabe hair this time round.

Resulting the below ZORB - Zan's bob (get it?? hahahahah)

Down Down South

Sis and Gav came to NZ for Christmas.
Sis, Gav, Ronald, Calvin & I went down to Queenstown:

• Te Anau glowworm caves
• Cromwell for fruits
• Managed to check out sis great butt
  
• Cottage ALL to ourselves on Fernhill
  
• White water rafting in Shotover river
• Sandflies' bites which itch all over
• Gav wanting to vomit due to too tight a life jacket PLUS heat
• Luge from Queenstown gondola
• Practised expressions for photos sake
• Gas stove with no gas
• Dish-washer that does not dish wash, but spewed soap all over
• Baked chips for supper while watching Transformers
• Ice-cream, gelato, ice-cream!
• Arrowtown, Chinese settlements
• Wanaka for lunch and no eels in lake
• Heat rashes
• Black and bruised bananas forced eaten by Gav
• Dad's turkey, lamb, pork ribs and chicken drums for the trip
• Lake Tekapo
• Bought cheap cheap fresh salmon from salmon farm
• Shitting in the public toilet with own toilet paper
• Calvin pee-ing on a pile of rocks by the roadside, creating a champagne flow
• Road kill with no maggots
• Road trip game that involves smelling poo and picking up road kill (operation failed)
  
• Plant stuck to the side of the car door

All in all, I think it was an ok trip. Queenstown still looks its best in autumn/winter. Awwww....too bad.

On World Jandals' Day, we had the 1st BBQ in Ronald's new place in Royal Court.

Mark has already painstakingly started cleaning the mussels Hock brought. 15 kgs worth of them in the bag. We couldn't wait for some late arrivals coz most of us were hungry. So the BBQ was started, the food put on. Cheong started skewing the tofus, capsicums, onions, bacon etc.

Due to Cheong's special dietary needs, Mark brought some gurnard to pacify Cheong as the rest of us dig into the beer-cooked mussels, chicken wings, beef etc.. nyuummm nyuummm.... However, I do have to stress that the fish, when sprinkled with garlic salt and freshly squeeze lemon, was yummy. Not to mentioned peri-peri sauce from Nandos.

A certain individual which I haven't met until this BBQ day came and ate mussels... and more mussels....and then more mussels... and he cooked ONCE (when there were no more cooked mussels on the table). Obviously this certain individual didn't make a very good impression on me especially since Mark has cleaned those mussels for perhaps 2 hours. We gently reminded this certain individual that there are other food in store, and his good friend even chuck some potatoes his way, all to not much avail as he help himself to more mussels. Sigh, never mind the manners.

Christmas-do at work, as well as a Citizenship team BBQ out in Heathcote came and went too. All I am looking forward now is the arrival of my sis and Gav, as well as the opening of my Christmas presents. Although I already know what they are. Hahahha!
