Susie's Blog

Today my two morning boys were on father's day breakfast in school so i had their little 4 year old sister coming for 1 hour lesson from 7:30-8:30 am. So early in the morning....We started with Miley cyrus song and dance. Then melody bells. Singing songs with sigh language. Playing hot cross bun on piano. Before I ran out of idea we just review everything. Then do some sort of random pop dance again. I really think that if I can;t dance then my life will be so much tougher. Every kid loves dancing. I had adult student till 10 am. Then I drove to Manly beach straight away to see the Star of the sea theater. My God. The theater was spectacular. I couldn't believe how suitable that will be for my kids. The backstage was massive with two dressing rooms, big full size dance studio and prop room.....it was so exciting. I booked it. We are in for the show!! Then off to Warringah mall to shop. I bought Monica a dress. A nail voucher. Then off to do my big grocery shopping at Aldi. Can't believe i can easily bought 120 OZ dollars of food. How can one person eat that much? After teaching I went to do Mega dance class. I love sexy dance. Especially now I can do body roll and spilt well the whole routine looks so much better. Bummer no one ever sees me doing exotic dance. That's the only time I really though, Susie, you really look like a professional stripper. HAHA

I supposed to have a very exciting thursday plan. But this morning at 6 am i heard this GUUU-GUUU-GUUUUU sound from a rooster. ROOSTER? gees. we are not living in the country where did it come from? Shit. My neighbor. Don't tell me after having four baby girls now they want a rooster? Damn damn damn. What have I done to deserve this.
Kids came from 7:30 am for lessons. by 8:30 am one of the mum came up and said "susie, you got a rooster at your front door!!" "REALLY? OH NO!!!" yes. that rooster is not from the neighbor. this GUGUGU is from here. AHHH how embarassing. The whole street must be thinking that this asian family is breeding rooster for meals. Till 10 am I am still teaching. James, the 24 year old student came in. First thing he said was " COOL!!!" then he held his mobile and took photos. Gees. These days the white man never seems to be useful.
So my neighbor actually called the council. WE were laughing so hard about it. She thinks I am mental and I think she is psycho to have rooster. So this rooster comes from nowhere. Another neighbor said he was walking on the street yesterday (ROOSTER MAN WHERE ARE YA GOING MATE? )  The council sent two rangers who were girls (great). They had no clue how to catch it. they were sitting on the stairs calling RSPCA. The ZOO....but no organisation came to help. It's council's job. At the end they sent a big guy to come. All he did was lift the rooster up and put him in the cage. All done. I hope the rooster can live a little longer....lets not see him too fast at Kenturkeys. I probably won't eat chicken for a little while. All my yoga, massage plan were all gone. Thanks to the ROOSTER that comes from nowhere.

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!!

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.

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.

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.....

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.

I took the kids for exams. This time the ANZCA modern piano/singing exam takes place in a teacher's studio. Her house is rather small but obviously she has small children so she builds a paradise for the kids in her little backyard. Look, a tree house! The OZ kids are so lucky. Normal asian family probably won't do anything with those trees apart from cutting them off....
 

My friend Austin got pissed off seeing the massive Chinese festival happening in Sydney. So he decided to do a Taiwanese one. Showing them that we are different from them. Taiwan is not recognised here so i guess no official group will sponsor it....(not as easy as the chinese ones anyway). Therefore he gathered 15 friends and did it themselves. The only one to advertise is via facebook. Nevertheless it was a great success. Much more than he expected. There are 300 people turning up that day (90 percent is second generation taiwanese). It was a wonderful event. The movie was by Jay Chow. Really good. I never watched asian movie but this one, I enjoyed it very much. You should check it out!
