Susie's Blog

Look how spoilt I was. Even on wednesday night i got to have this pure organic dinner. Feel so blessed.

People who read my blog must be thinking that I am an unemployed person. How come I am always here and there during weekdays. No la. I do have a job la....this is my business http://www.mosman.privatemusiclessons.net

But our time is flexible even though it's 7 days a week. We can always find time to have fun within the day. At least I try to do that and live a life that's worth living for.

Joy texted me yesterday and asked if I want to go to Balmoral beach to have a picnic. I haven't seen her daughter mimi for a long time. So today after teaching in the morning I just skipped my belly dance class and stayed to make some pizza for picnic. Putting the pizza in the basket, made some fresh corns with butter and pepper. Off to Balmoral beach with Joy and mimi!! The wind was still cold as we practically were still in winter. But the sun was glorious. We had so much fun on the sand with the food, sun and beach!!

Tuesday is always the most relaxing day. I only teach 10 students today. So after three students in the morning from 7:00 am...the morning shift was ended by 8:30 am. Then I got Tallulah in the car driving her to school (she is a little blonde 8 year old English girl). The school is only 5 mins walk which is 30 seconds in the car. So I always told the mum that I could walk her to school and save her mum the trip to come back and pick her up. Tallulah was laughing today that "Susie how come we never walk? If it's too cold, you said we have to drive cause its freezing...if it's too hot then we have to drive too cause it's boiling?" Haha she has a point. We never walk. So I dropped her off, she gave me a kiss then I drove off to the Gym straightaway to catch the 9:30 am yoga class. Finish at 10:30 am I always had coffee with friends at the health club. Most of the time I went for a spa but today after coffee I just came home. Had light lunch at home then off to Aveda to do a facial at 1 pm. BY 2:30 pm I was home and hungry again. So I made a pizza and had another coffee. Kids started to come from 3:30 then today I finished at 7:00. Rushed the 15 year old Georgia to get out of the door cause I am going to Chatswood for a dinner with some friends. We had dumplings and after that we went to the Cafe to have ice cream. Back home it's 10:30 pm, after shower and I am here in bed writing diary. This is my Tuesday....

I was teaching these two girls to dance Hoedown throwdown by Miley Cyrus. Maddie suddently said that her feet were cold. Amy, without hestitation, pulled of one sock and said "there you go! Share my sock!" Gorgeous.

Even though I am used to all kinds of outfit appearning  in the lessons, today it was nevertheless a bit of a shock seeing this little devil turning up for lesson at 7:30 am sunday morning in this. There you go. Well done Indiana.

We decided to go to DFO today! It was quite a journey to go there so we had good quality coffee prepared on the way. Today was quite a lucky day for us cause no matter how crowded the place was, as soon as I called out my parking angel there would be a parking spot right in front. We also drove to the Rhodes and then Flamington for vietnamese food. It's indeed getting warmer here. Love the sun. love the sunday afternoon.

Mara is a very good friend of mine. She is an Italian lady in her 50s but if you look at her you will never guess. She looks totally sexy and cool. Anyway she always calls me and tells me whatever shit happens in her life. Good shit as well as bad shit. Today I finally got to see her and we just couldn't stop talking. She was telling  me about her son in law that's gone weird. Nick (the son in law...extremely spunk hunk gorgeous looking jewish) and Michelle (Mara's beautiful blond daughter) are apparently very into this new age way of living. I knew Nick and Michelle very well too but i didn't know they are so extreme these days. They had home birth for the kid. Everyone has to talk to the baby like an adult (no baby language). All clothes, nappies and everything they have had to be organic. No detergent at all. Nothing artificial in the house. The baby has a very weird name too. Anyway.....we were laughing hysterically. New age. things for weirdos.

Monica got her good dental friends and uni friends together for hens night. This was quite a conservative one.....nothing like the typical stripper gathering hens night. I did asked her if she wants a stripper. In fact I really wouldn't mind if there is a police costume stripper coming in and give us a show. That would be awesome. Anyway, we end up dress like this and take photos like the good girls do. Very Monica indeed. God bless.

Was just texting Andy to say how funny this is. I went to get my blood test result. Thought that i never did a blood test maybe it's time to check it out and see if there is anything wrong.

The doctor called me in and said to me seriously. Susie please don't come and do blood test ever. You are so healthy...way too healthy. Please don't come and waste government's money. they don't want budget waste on you. I said...i can pay. i don't need to do it for free. Can I do it once a year. then the doctor said. no, no need. You will never need to test for hep A and B in your life time. Your immunity is so strong that if there is nothing dramatically wrong please don't come and waste money and time. ok then. Good news. So now i am wasting tax payer's money. I am so sorry. So I went and had a massive breakfast and french toast with Ivy. Doctor said I could eat whatever. Then we walked around all shops to check out the dresses for monica's wedding before going back for the kids to come. What a brilliant friday.

Haven't updated neko's look for a while. After suffering few days hunger while we were away...her life seems to be finally back to normal. What a spoilt looking big fat cat.

i drew these for the dressmaker to make dress for my girls. Do you like the design?

Amy, this is my dress for Andy's wedding in Tainan. I bought it in Taipei for about $3870 or $3780. It's a shop full of Taiwanese designer but very pretty. Yiching's sister got dress from the same shop too. But guess what? today I went breakfast with Ivy and walked past this $20 dress shop!! Shit. I saw this dress there for $40 only!!! The material here is bad but the design is exactly the same. Gee those made in china cheap dress import is so fast in making copies aren't they.....

Thursday I got lots of teenage boys coming for lessons. Right from 7 am in the morning. Teenager boys are my favorite population to work with. Today I had a few adult guys coming for singing too. They are mostly in their 20s, bringing a guitar to sing for me. I work on their technique and then interpretation, sometimes some ideas about the song writing. OZ boys from age 16 are already looking very mature. They all come in with very strong aftershave or perfume. I always asked if they bloody drank the whole bottle of perfume. These boys all went to private school so with their private school uniforms they really all look extremely handsome. I develop technique to work with those boys. Some I do shout at if they don't get it, some I just have to do the soft method that get into their core. When I see them perform and shine like that on stage, i always have incredible sense of proudness that I was part of the creator of those wonderfully handsome talented OZ boys.

NO MORE WEDDINGS PLEASE. I AM ALLERGIC TO IT. AHHHHHHH

I can't believe i suddenly figure out how to use mackbook photos. Actually it's soooo easy to do!! Richard was right!!Check this out......

Look!! I learned how to upload photos from my new macbook!!! HOORAAAAAY......ME SO SMART LAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH please clap. PAPAPAPA

Gosh I love this typical OZ breakfast. Everytime after gym i would finish a plate like this. Trying to cut it down to just twice a week.

After teaching early morning. I got the 73 year old Alastiar here for singing. Gosh I love working with him. Such a deep baritone voice and whatever I asked him to sing and work on you could see result straight away. After him I drove straight to Belly dance class. I found the class was bit easy today. could do it without using brain. Not very good. My brain is seldom in use already. Then off to see my spanish dressmaker Mary. I was bringing in a few dress designs that I drew to show her and got her to give me a quote. I want my little girls and big girls to have some costumes made for the end of year showcase. Quite a big of discussion with Mary. Fun though. I could just visualise how gorgeous the girls will look with my design. Mary said the big girls she would charge 200 for a dress. then small girl about 150. I think that's fair enough. So this afternoon I told some of the girls and they picked the colours for their dresses. Quite exciting. We went to the Taiwanese bento again. The owner was pretty cute and smart. That guy is going to do very well by the look of that business. Anyway back to studio sing play and dance all afternoon. Good job. very happy.

Went to Enmore theater to see Katy Perry. I always make sure I am reasonably up to date with what's in at the moment. Now Katy Perry is in among all teens.

So middle age woman like me can sing and dance like her too. See how we sacrifice for business. Anyway concert was awesome. She didn't sing well live though. Any of my students really could sing better than her.

But she is one talented girl. An awesome night.
