Archers in your Arches

Moment of the Day:
Jelli drowning in a sea of school kids.

Catch up time!

Went to the city to catch up with Jelli aka Jerri last Wednesday. It started off by me shouting nuggets (since we do make up 100% of Team Nugget, emphasis on the 100%) since I was the late one. Afterwards we headed to the Powerhouse Museum because what day wouldn't be complete without a visit to a museum. It was $5 entry, so it was a win-win situation.

Got inside and checked out many of the exhibits (although not all!). Unbeknownst to our knowledge, we were reminded that it was in fact still a school day and so explained the influx of little kids and TB's. They were all over the venue, but one of the most memorable moments (Memorable Moment #1) would be when I had exited a small room showcasing past Australian utensils and such. I turn to see if Jelli had also come out, but no, it was obvious the kids were holding her back. I look back, and my theory appeared true. It was like struggling against a river rapid. Completely blocking the doorway, all I could see was Jelli's upper half amongst the young kids intrigued by a dead wallaby behind the glass. It looked like this:

Sadly, it was bolted down.

The point of this experiment was to look stupid.


We were in there for about 3 hours, checking out the Space and Science experiments, the giant piano and other musical instruments and Zero Gravity Space Lab. That was fun. I didn't feel weightless at all though, just dizzy.

Afterwards, we met up with Jeff and headed off to sing k. (Memorable Moment #2) Coming out of the museum that consisted of a LOT of Australian history, Jelli, Jeff and I began to sing Waltzing Matilda. We were all in our own little world until a LOUD SCREECH occured, followed by a thump then the sound of glass breaking. Everyone had heard it. Turning around quickly, a 4WD had hit another car and began rolling/flipping, eventually coming to a halt upside-down. We were all in shock. Half the street came running towards the victims. Here's hoping nothing serious!

Eventually we made our way to K. Not because we're asian, but purely for the enjoyment of screaming at the top of our lungs and having fun. People must be thinking, why pay $10 for something you can do at home for free? The fact that I don't even have that equipment (oh noes, a filo family without magic mic! Or any sort of kareoke!) makes up for that, as well as the place and sound. (Memorable Moment #3) Well the screaming and having fun was achieved, along with losing my voice to Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne. lool. That one song strained it so bad.

    I wouldn't mind seeing all of those bands. They seem great. However you know which band I'd really want to see? Yeah you know what I'm talking about.

    Maybe you should go to them about your medical checkout. Have fun doing urine sample.
