HOBO

Homeless people. Everywhere in almost every country. Even here, on train platforms.

Just this evening i was on my way home from Caleb's place. and who should show up on the busy platform but a 'homeless' (im amusing) person harassing everybody.

not just any hobo, but a hobo with THE look. THE ultimate look that no hobo asking for help/money should give.

Its.

The.

I'm so sick of this world and you people-look.

Ain't ever seen a glare like hers hahaha. yes a HER. a female hobo. lol. that sounds like a joke by itself, im so bad tee hee~



The she-hobo: "Hey you, can you spare me some change?"
Scared Korean chick: "......"
The she-hobo: "Can you speak?" <---(Seriously, i could smell the sarcasm dripping...)
Scared Korean chick: *mumbling*
The she-hobo: "Good."

The she-hobo: "And you, can you spare me some change?"
Me: "Sorry, no."
The she-hobo: *scoffs* "Whatever." *walks off*

Scuse me? Whatever? WHATEVER?
Is that the attitude you should use with ur potential donaters? Hmm?? Is it cuz i'm not a local or what? And, i also happened to have kindly donated before. Assuming u guys are all a collective or something.

Ffs... Cynical hobos. Can my train rides home get any more interestin?

2000 and TEN


Well people, it's finally here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!!!!!!!

Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year this year. As for me, I had the most entertaining dinner in a Japanese restaurant on New Year's Eve, then headed to the Etihad Stadium near the Southern Cross station.

It was AWESHUM.

They were holding some kinda party in the stadium where you had to wear white to get in. So we were standing there staying outta the rain near the entrance watching all kinds of 'white' people go in. There were definitely internationals around in the crowd, but the fact that they were all wearing white made them blend in perfectly you could hardly tell apart anyone.

People in white wearing singlets, angel wings, crowns, boots, stockings and various other types of dressings. There were people who put on silver and the funniest thing was that in our group there were the two girls wearing BLACK.

kinda funny.

Other interesting exhibits included a somebody in an Imperial Stormtrooper makeshift costume, another somebody in a gauze bandaged mummy outfit, other semi-nekkid or 3 quarter-ed nekkid people running all around in the wet New Year's Eve.

Phew, what a rain!

We even saw some drug person getting arrested by the police who were vastly outnumbered, but still held an imposing presence. They had sniffer dogs posted around too, checking ur crotch for any hidden powders. lol.

AFTER THAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT,

we headed to Flinders St.




Which.




was.




PACKED.

its to be expected but still it was a very enjoyable experience, getting squashed against the train doors, fighting for air to breathe, room to cover ur vital parts, scolding assholes who were smoking weed in the train, making way for distraught couples who got raped, molested, assaulted, etc.

At the Federation Square they were holding some kinda aboriginal performance in the stadium. After that they had the countdown (naturally) and fireworks (again, naturally). too bad the whole area around and in Flinders was packed to bursting. So we could only see the fireworks shooting up but couldnt see em exploding in the wet night sky.

NOOOOOOO.

after that it became something of a riot as people rushed backed to the trains to head back home quick before the havoc really started like people screaming themselves hoarse over a happy new year and people rioting just cuz its..... new year? haha.

here're some of the pics and vids of the memorable last night of 2009.
