JAN/FEB

I wish I could say I used my break from uni wisely
But I'd be lying

Experimenting with watercolours...it turned out janky

Made cold soba noodles again. Sun-dried tomatoes are sooo goood. I can't believe I've never tried them before.

Random photo #1

Tried this Lindt hot chocolate, it's nice
I put the flakes in my cereal sometimes

Random photo #2 & 3

I couldn't resist buying this Malteser bunny
I mean, c'mon
It's a Malteser
And a bunny

Moth

I got an Instagram account a while ago
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, "WHATTA HIPSTER"
Well there are lots of artists on Instagram so I thought I'd give it a shot
I don't post pictures of food really, mostly random doodles

Anyway Instagram's being taken over by tweens who just post selfies
Follow me if you want, I'm lonely
(there's a link on the right of the page, it's the Instagram icon)

Was bored and decided to take pics of the moon
I love looking at the moon
I read a nice quote on tumblr, "If you're ever feeling lonely, look up at the moon. Somewhere, someone is staring at the same moon, feeling lonely too."

I spontaneously had the idea to use my telescope to get a bigger image of the moon through my camera
If that doesn't make sense, here's a picture I took on my phone to demonstrate

Basically just held the telescope to the lens
It was really hard to get a clear shot, because I had to focus two different things at the same time, and also stretch my arm out to hold the telescope in place to make sure it was looking at the moon, and well as press the shutter on my camera.

I kind of failed to get a clear shot
Then the sun started going down and my arm was exhausted, so I just took pictures of my telescope

It's so awesome

Makes me feel like Gulliver or Robinson Crusoe or some shit

So that was my Jan/Feb I guess

BOUNCE

Sorry for being a crappy blogger, I know Judith has been waiting for this post for aaages.
Our group went to Bounce today.

Bounce is a massive warehouse which has basically replaced the floors with trampolines.
They have a deal going on throughout Feb, $10 bucks off. I think it cost us $16 each...or something like that?
It was awesome, thanks Jo for the heads up!

Gearing up

You get special trampoline socks
The first section we went on was the free-jumping area. These photos are from the second round that we went in, I didn't bother with my camera for the first one.

 LOL. Wilson. He knew before he even jumped that it was screwed

Bounce bounce bounce.
This area was fun, you could just jump across the whole thing

 Me in a variety of awkward weird positions.

There was also a dodgeball area which Heiman and Homan loved, of course.

BOUNCING ON TRAMPOLINES IS FREAKING TIRING.
It's so much more exhausting than it seems.

We were pretty much tuckered after only our first go on the free bouncing area.

These are my attempts at a "Caf selfie"
It's an homage.

We just sat under the "big ass fan" and tried to cool down.
Yeah, it's called the Big Ass Fan.
I would say it indeed is pretty big ass. You can see how large it is in the first pic, actually.


Jo warned us not to wear pants cos it heats up really quickly. I did believe her but to be honest, I didn't think it would be that bad cos I don't normally sweat much. I was wrong. My poor Doctor Who shirt.
Anyway I was kinda glad I wore pants, because I ended up getting trampoline burn on my exposed elbow.


These guys + dodgeball...I wouldn't wanna be on the team against them LOL
Homan looks like Patrick Star in this pic


Went to try the foam pits next. I'm so unco-ordinated. See that wall behind Sannie, Wilson & Kat? You can run up it or jump onto it. I tried to jump up there but only succeeded in smashing myself into it. Hard. My pelvis had a massive bruise for like a week.
Here's a video I took while cooling down from the foam pits.



Go to 06:30 LOL
And some GIFS:


Recently read an article about the creator of the GIF. He says it's pronounced "jif". NOO. My mind is blown.


In this pic I'm being used as a rope to help Wynne out of the foam pit.

LOL AT SANNIE.

omg I'm sorry Sannie if you see this but it was too funny not to post.

I did a backflip too.

Joey trying to do a ninja flip. She managed to do one in the end, I think :D

Oppa gangnam style

HAHA. JUDIE'S FACE.

We.

Were.

Exhausted.

Creepiest photobomb
IT'S SO SEEDY LOL

Went back to play some more dodgeball

Looks like he's squatting in mid-air.
I think we stayed there for about 2 hours or so, we definitely got our money's worth. Caf couldn't come today but we have to come back one day with her, she'd luv eet.

We missed Sannie's birthday by ages, since she just came back from India.
Anyway some of us went to eat lunch at Let's Bab in Chaddy.

Tofu?

Joey's doppoki or dukbokki to tekpokey or something.
It's a popular Korean food but looks spicy as hell.

I was feeling sick so decided not to order a whole meal, I split this unagi-don with Homan. I was right to trust my gut, cos after a single bite I felt like puking. I think it's cos I stuffed myself in the morning, and then immediately afterwards jumped around crazily for a few hours. Probably a mistake.

Our wristbands.
After lunch we parted ways, it was raining on the way home. Happy super-belated birthday Sannie!

Bounce was fun, we should go back sometime.
