Weekend is when everyone has wonderful plans. But in Tasmania, I rather it be weekdays everyday. It's like living in remote provence in France during the weekend - everyone stays in at home, the streets would be damn quiet, and all the shops would be closed. In other words, you could die of boredom. Instead, you can choose to look for your own entertainment. Actually, there's no where to look for it, you have to create your own entertainment.
Here's what you can do during the weeked:
1. Eat in McDonald's
Most of the shops would be closed. People like me who doesn't cook can die of hunger. Thank God for McD. Hmmmm... I feel like having fillet o' fish now.
2. You can stalk your crush
There are plenty of bushes around for you to hide while you're stalking.
3. You can kiss an ass
Just make sure there's no chocolate starfish. Ahahahahahaha... WTF?
4. Taste some nectar
Since there are so many flowers everywhere, you can probably get your daily dose of glucose from the nectar.
5. Make some graffiti
Since the street is so quiet, take this opportunity to make some graffiti. Oh.... those were the days.
You can go to random stranger and flash them. According to Shikin, all the flashers that she encountered were wearing blue. I guess I can be one of them.
My sympathy goes to those with the name Tom. I'm sure back in school, his name would always be made fun of.... peeping Tom. Ahahahaha... You know how my friends used to make fun of my name? They called me tangkai jering (wtf?) and lay eggs.
8. Flash your butt at the Parliament
When there's no one working on Sunday, you can protest against the Parliament by flashing your ass.
9. Or simply sit outside the Parliament
10. Practice ballet in the park
There's chess board tiles in Franklin Square Park. You can use it as your step-by-step grid guide to practice. We had to take a few shots of this photo because of our old ballet legs. Time to shift to line dancing. For some reason, all the old ladies in Malaysia like to go for line dancing. At one point of time, my grandma went for line dancing. I laughed my ass off when she practiced at home.
11. Proposed to your partner
I rejected Shikin's proposal because I'm already married (check my facebook relationship status). Besides, she didn't get for me the 14k diamond that I wanted.
12. Stare at the sky and do nothing
That's what I do the most because people said money fall from sky. Maybe one day they would fall on me.
13. Lunch at Fish Frenzy
Besides McD, another place that would definitely be opened on weekend is Fish Frenzy. It's a boring seafood restaurant. The only good thing about the place is the al fresco dining. It's cool.... I mean it's hot.... no it's cool..... erm... It's cool to sit outside when the weather is hot.
Shikin's food is like bigger than her. And she just text me a message that she's fat. What the....?
I go healthy with grilled.
Woohooo.... I love eating seafood with Shikin because she doesn't eat anything that comes from shell.
14. Watch some sail boats
There are a lot of sail boats at the docks. Some are yatch and some are really cool motorboats. And if you're lucky, you might spot some really hot owner. They're not only hot, but they're rich too.
I fucking love this picture. We took this photo at Somerset Apartment. Last year I went to apply for an apartment there because I was quite comfortable living around that area and I didn't want to move out of my neighbourhood. It was a failed plan. Guess what? The rent was AUD 1500. At first I thought... hmmmm... not too bad, I still can afford it. But wait a minute.... I forgotten............... it's AUD 1500 a week. That means it's AUD 6000 a month. Breathe in.... breathe out.... breathe in.... breathe out....
15. Sit by the dock
It's also fun to sit by the water and just chat with your friend. To be honest, it's not really THAT fun. I rather sit at Dome to chat.
16. Join some hippie causes
Whatever... Anyway, for some weird reason there are so many hippies here in Tassie. I think there are more hippies here than in The Haight in San Francisco. When I'm free I'm going to write a long ass post why I hate the hippies.
17. Window shopping
You really have to window shop because there won't be any shop open on Sunday. Even if you're as rich as Bill Gates, you still have to stare at the lovely stuff from the gate.
18. Go peeping again
19. Plant your own garden
Almost every house here have beautiful garden. People here have too much time.
Even if you don't plant your own garden, some wild flowers will knock on your door and demand that you adopt them. It doesn't matter if you don't have any soil or earth at your house, the flower just grow practically everywhere!
20. Have coffee with friend in courtyard cafe
Cam whore while you're waiting for your coffee
If they take forever to make your coffee, which is always due to the laidback habit here, just throw your temper and show your I-am-not-happy face like Shikin.
Shikin admiring my phone decoden. Ahahahha.... Who can resist my pretty shiny phone? You know, I said Nicole was a bad influence for introducing me to decoden, now I became the bad influence. She's going to make one soon, I think, cos she asked me for the contact. I'm spreading the decoden love!
I couldn't resist the sweets on my phone so I attempted to eat them. As a result, my front teeth broke.
More cam whoring. I was trying to make myself a French chef, but I look more like a Daruma.

21. Play swing
There are parks everywhere over here. And I love to play swing. I guess I'm a child trapped in an old lady's body. Do you know, if you turn your head upside down while swinging really fast and violent, the adrenaline rush is so hot. If you have motion sickness, too bad. I wanted to stand on the swing, but I was wearing a dress so :( not a good idea.
22. Adopt a pet
Almost all of the household here has a pet. I repeat again, people here are too free. The other day, I saw a guy hold on to a leash by the beach at Lower Sandy Bay. At first I didn't look clearly, but when I saw it... he has a piglet as a pet. It's so damn funny. I've only seen people walk their dogs or cats on a leash, but not a piglet! I wanted a dog too. My favorite is golden retriever. Saint Bernard comes second and then bulldog. Everyone, please be my witness. Alwin said wanted to get me a dog, but it's been two years now, where the hell is my dog?
23. Join your own community group
There's a Maori centre in Battery Point. Alwin should really go there. All his "brothers" are probably practising their haka dance inside. Oh ya... talking about Alwin... this morning he suddenly popped out a weird question to me.
Alwin: What is cendikiawan in English?
Me: (thinking so hard) It's mushroom's friend.
Alwin: What???
Me: Cendikiawan is cendawan kawan. So it's mushroom's friend.
Alwin: You ni bodoh betul.
Me: Oh wait!!!! I think I know what it is!
Alwin: What?
Me: There's a Jalan Cendikiawan near Bukit Aman.
Alwin: Why are you so dum dum!
I googled it and then I found out that cendikiawan means intellectual. I guess I'm not so cendikiawan then. I'm probably a cendawan kawan.
24. Sell some stuff
Me: (thinking so hard) It's mushroom's friend.
Alwin: What???
Me: Cendikiawan is cendawan kawan. So it's mushroom's friend.
Alwin: You ni bodoh betul.
Me: Oh wait!!!! I think I know what it is!
Alwin: What?
Me: There's a Jalan Cendikiawan near Bukit Aman.
Alwin: Why are you so dum dum!
I googled it and then I found out that cendikiawan means intellectual. I guess I'm not so cendikiawan then. I'm probably a cendawan kawan.
24. Sell some stuff
I find it weird that people just leave their stuff to sell outside their gate. And they'll put up a sign that says, "Please drop the money in the letterbox". If this is in Malaysia, not only your money in the letterbox would be gone, the stuff you're selling would be gone too.
25. Go to church
I always complain that everything here in Tasmania is old school. I guess there's one thing good about it. The churches here are also old school.
Compare this with the church in Malaysia. Fulamak! Got stained glass one ok? In Malaysia you only get stained carpet where kids dropped their chocolate and cakes.
The upper floor got old school pipe organ. Damn stylo. Can have Phantom of the Opera play in the church. In Malaysia you only get electronic keyboard.
26. Force your friend to pose for your photos

I found this queer signboard "Pretty Agencies" and asked Jeremy to pose for me. I prefer human in my photos nowadays.
