friday post

hmm ... dolly the baby elephant still isn't here... it's 3:55 already! and PIG mum needs to get to the bank before 4:15pm, too ...
anyways, we went for our hair chops :P at aunty anna's. i went first, and got a high class mushroom haircut. then i browsed a wooman's day magazine as PIG mum got a 'shh-muck' haircut :P
hope dolly gets here soon! wonder if i'll have any luck getting a decent sandwhich out of her for arvo tea?
anyways, shall see you all at UF tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. must remember to ask dad, whether he'll allow me to go pick up my rellies from the airport toms, or send them off when they leave. for some uneknownst reason, he's said i'm only allowed to go to one. oh well. :(
yay, dolly the baby elephant is here! cya later!

friday post

good afternoon! including hydro, em plodded 1779 steps today.
now, i only came online at 1:15, but seeing that PIG mum and i have hair snipping appointments at 1:45, i won't have been online for half an hour. and, since i also know that PI mum would rather eat me alive :P>< then let me come back online after UF tonight, i guess i'll just have to try and stay online for as long as possible toms.
another thing i'm excited about - we've got family from HK visiting us toms!i hope they have an awesome time in brisbane! but i will have to remember to be careful when PIG mum is forcing me to walk. usually, as i walk, i say, "one step, two steps, yoiu're Forcing me to walk. :( etc etc etc. from one to ten steps then all the way back down again. and coz i think it might be pretty shameful for PIG mum to hear me say this in front of our family, i've decided to keep it quiet, ie, me saying it in my head. it will be a CONSTANT LITANY in my head, though.
actually, i guess i will have a chance to start practising it right now! coz PIG mum refused to flick on the computer for me until i promised that i wouldn't say anything out aloud.
oh, one last thing - the spam count for the week is 173.
cool - dear dad just rang me! he's having lunch now, and told me to get a mushroom hair cut :P as long as it's not a toilet bowl haircut, i can live with that :P
righteo, time to go- hope to see mostof yous at UF tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. forgot to add - the water at hydro seemed warmer than usual today! i walked forwards and sideways, did squats, some sculling, kicking, left arm and left leg exercises in sets of 10. oh, and my favourite head dunk at the end, of course :P

thursday post

good evening! em was hard at work today plodding 2833 steps. righteo, i've been online for an hour, somehow i think my chances for staying on another 2.5 are non-existent, so let's just see how far i can get, ok? spotty :P points, incoming!
-oops, i forgot! it's a thursday, so i get to type everything out once in full:
-whenever i had to walk, i used to type that PIG mum FORCED :( me to. when she banned from using the whole word in capitals, i edited it to just Forced. when she decided that the word offended her still and banned it altogether, i switched to 'contort'. it wasn't long until she decided that word offended her sensibilities also, and barred that too, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. so i used MADE until she put her foot down and said that it had to be ALL in lowercase. so i complied *sigh* until i said she 'gleefully made' me do it, until charlsy left a comment on this blog and told me i was only allowed to use made on its own. not really sure why i listen to him; possibly just because i have tons and tons of respect for him as a friend. and, about last night:
1. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk from the computer desk to the kitchen benchtop to drink my nightly half a cuppa of milk.
2. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk from the kitchen benchtop to the bathroom.
3. i had to stand hile brushing my teeth, and PIG mum also forced my left hand to do the after-brush rinses with my right hand.also, PIG mum forces my left hand to hold the teethbrush :P while my right hand squeezes out the teethpaste :P i mean, even before i got sick, i used to just balance the teethbrush :P on my cup and squeeze the teethpaste :P just like that!
4. after flossing and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
5. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle.
7. when i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my own pants back up.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand. i'm not really sure why PIG mum refuses to help me dry it, but oh well. i just lean over to do it.
9. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to my room.
10. still no pull-up pants. argh. ><
-PIG mum wouldn't let me ring grandma last night, either :( i mean, it was only just past 8pm in HK! ah well, will try again tonight.
-last thing, if i don't mention any of this over the next 7 days, it just means that it's all the same as what i typed out tonight. ><
righteo, let's get started!
-PIG mum dug em up, got her kitted, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was 2 yummy weet-bix with maybe a dab of honey.
-time to go to UQ, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car.
-off she tootled us off to UQ, listening to anthony callea.
-on arrival, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk into the toilet. needless to say, she also forced me to dak myself, and forced me to pull my own panrs up, before shemade (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk over to wash and dry my right hand. then she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to sit down at the waiting area.
-PIG mum rocked off to pay, and amanda-jane came to get me, sexy belt :P at the ready.
-she Forced me to walk in, and we started off with right arm reachy exercises. we also did some standing exercises, some left arm ones, and some timed walking test. all up, i think steph told PIG mum i'd walked 120m.
-hey, how cool! jess's middle name is jane, the other physio student's name is amanda-jane! so i told them, that for tody, i'd be emily-jane :P
-they Forced me to walk back out to the car, i returned the secy belt :P to them, and PIG mum tootled us back home, still, i think, listening to anthony.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back into the house. i rang dear dad, who said he was having lunch at uncle yuk tai's workplace.
-lunch for us was a yummy toasted tuna in tomato and onion sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. i washed mine down with another plain glass of milk.
-i read my battleaxe novel for awhile until dianne arrived. umm ... i can't remember ... maybe she's the kyabra worker?
-so we chatted, i answered questions, and PIG mum and i signed our lives away :P
-dianne left, and soon, carol came - but not the carol that PIG mum and i had expected! this one's from ireland too, karol (yup, with a 'k') walsh (no relation to linda walsh, my grade 4 primary schoolteacher).
-so PIG mum showed her around the house before she finally consented to sticking my walkbelt on me and making (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the laundry.
-so karol gave me a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i got dried, creamed, then karol Forced me to walk back out to the gobbling :P table.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - yay, thanks karol! two slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. i ask for 2 slices only once a week, i guess the 2 slices and mayo may prolly have to be contented with trying for that once a month.and a cup of tea, sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey.
-i read for awhile, karol gave my left hand a massage, and we just chatted. i think she lives somewhere near parkinson? and that her friend is cooking steak for her dinner. medium-rare, too. eek, bleeding :P
-at 6pm, karol Forced me to walk to my TV chair, and flicked on 7's news, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sports by pat welsh, and weather by john schluter. i got yelled at by PIG mum for watching the evening news when i wasn't supposed to, but hey - i've missed it!
-thanks to karol who also fed me two half-crackers and mixed me a cup of cold milo.
-we watched today tonight until 6:45 (it was hosted by matt white), then karol Forced me to walk to the toilet, Forced me to walk over and wash my right hand - but thanks to her who helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table.
-we said our byes and thanks to her - i hope she'll come back soon!
-PIG mum came back and immediately forced me on 25mins worth of left hand exercises.
-dear dad came home, and we had dinner: rice tonight, with lotsa kai lan and some chicken. washed down with a cup of water, complying with PIG mum's absurd rule that if i have any milky drink around 6pm, i'm not allowed any juice after dinner, only water.
-PIG mum forced me on even more exercises, culminating in a forced walk up to my room and back down, then a forced stand (you know, head tilted backwards, shoulders back and up, leaning with all your weight to the left, etc.)for 10mins, then giving dear dad a massage with my left hand, before she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of this post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the computer desk to tootle online.
-phew, i finished! guess i'll check this post, then say bye to ppl i'm chatting to on MSN, then try for some news articles. don't think i'll have any time for naruto, though. :( ah well, another time.
cheers,
em. ^^

1st foctor:' and he broke it while lying in bed?!"
on another positive note, chase and cameron are going to get married!
*chase gets down on his knees*

cheers,
em. ^^

well, there's no time for me to type out a full day's post, so let me just say i plodded 2210 steps today. other things worth of note:
-mariana took PIG mum and i to some expo at southbank about further options for study! i participated by stealing an entire pocketful of lollies (they had bowls on every table!)! yumyum ... we had yummy kebabs for lunch; i got a big one with lotsa mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese and pineapple! and a 500mL yummy chocolate milk.

-we went home. i did a stinky unspeakable, wiped myself too. but oops, i must've been too full. i burped, and puked. >< i got yelled at by PIG mum, of course. PIG mum then forced me on a good 40 mins of left arm exercises, including a forced walk up to my room and back down, and 5+mins of standing exercises.
-righteo, so i will only have been on for 20mins, as i'm going to go watch house now. i will try to come back after to stick up my favourite quote, but hopes aren't up. will have to try and remember it for toms! can't really remember what's planned for toms, either... hydro?

GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to take a seat at the morning tea area.
-i got a bikkie or two, and a cup of cordial. much thanks to aunty joanne who sneaked me a chippee!
-bible study time, and PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to our classroom. i took a seat, and bible study with uncle/pastor chong soon started!
-we all read the bible verses/answered questions. much thanks to charlsy who got me 1 1/2 cream biscuits (yeah - stupid me dropped the other half><)
-after bible study, PIG mum picked me up. i told her i needed the bathroom again, so she made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to the bathroom, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk to wash and dry my right hand, and made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the car. actually, PIG mum handed me over to aunty anita for some time, coz the silly woman had left her jacket in the hall or sth.
-aunty anita had a laugh when i told her that i felt safe walking with her. i mean, compare her and PIG mum! (PIG mum is barely a stick, while aunty anita's surname sounds the same as 'tall' in canto! :P)
-PIG mum tootled us off to foodcourt, saying that dear dad was still doing some work over there and would join us when he finished.
-i thought PIG mum was a bit nasty, to be honest, when she didn't even try the underground carpark for a carpark, just zoomed straight up the ramp to the upper level. guess she just wanted me to walk more. *sigh* i complied. what else can i do?
-i asked for a 2 peice feed, and as expected, didn't get it. argh. >< i mean, i've said before, if you let me have the ENTIRE two peice feed on sunday - that is, 2 slices of chicken, a regular chips, a potato and gravy, a bread roll and a drink - the following sunday i will willingly have a kebab or a bacon deluxe for some variety. but no, i only got 1 slice of chicken, some chips and some potato and gravy. dunno what happened to the bread roll? (PIG mum informs me that i actually had half.) PIG mum still had the audacity too to boast about how nice she was, that dear dad would've ripped all the skin off the chicken before giving it to me.
-time to go, parents made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the car, and dear dad tootled us back home.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk into my room, where she showed off her expertise as a nurse and helped me with my ingrown toenail problem.
-i flopped into bed and had a snooze with my darling bear bear for awhile.
-evelyn came, got me kitted, then Forced me to walk to the laundry for my shower. hairwash today; i also scrubbed all of me bar my back and right arm.
- evelyn flipped the water off. i dripped dry as she mopped the floor, then she slathered me in nivea creme and got me rekitted. she also fetched PIG mum coz i had to report an ouchy ankle. ><
-PIG mum checked it, then i stood up and she forced me to pull my daks up. i could only comply, of course. then evelyn Forced me to walk back to my seat in the dining room.
-arvo tea: a toasted cheese - *sigh* only one slice, so it was ENTIRELY too thin >< better luck toms! and ham sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles, and a cup of lan choo small leaf (or whatever it's really called :P) sweetened with a single spoonful of honey. and yes, i admit, i gave the teabag a suck :p
-evelyn told me of her cunning plan to get out of an exam, and we did a wordsearch together.
-at 6;45, she Forced me to walk to the loo, and forced me to dak myself before i took a seat.
-she left (will be back on wednesday barring anymore 'ilness' :P) and thanks to PIG mum who fed me a glass of water then helped me wipe after a stinky unspeakable. then she forced me to pull my own trousers back up, made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the gobbling table.
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vege :P watercress and a few small chunks of beef. washed down with just a cup of water, coz apparently, there's not a drink PIG mum is willing to give me that she won't HEAVILY water down first. not really sure why ... :(
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back online, and ripped my socks, splint and shoes off.
-cool, i've made it with 9 mins to spare! will just go and check this post, i doubt that there'll beany time left to read any news articles. oh well. hope everyone has a great week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 4 errors in my post tonight.
P.P.S. yay, dear grandma just rang! she told me that little mickey is a naughty brat, too :P little tyke! i want to go back to HK at the end of this year to pinch his cheeks (and then suffer the wrath of aunty nga, haha :P)
P.P.P.S. i still remember my promise, that the very first night PIG mum finally allows me to stay online with my laptop, i will try to stay online till 3am, like how she once did. i mean, she's still mocking me right now about it, but i'll get there. patience and perserverance!

ANZAC day post 2

good evening! my final plodding total for today officially stands at 1525.anyways, what happened after karen came ...
she stuck my walkbelt on me, and Forced me to walk into the laundry for a shower. no hairwash today, and good to hear that i'm only a little spotty on my chin. i had a tinkle before karen flipped the water off. then i got dried and had nivea creme slathered all over me before i got redressed and karen Forced me to walk back out to the dining hall. i read for awhile as she prepared my arvo tea; a toasted cheese - thanks karen! 2 slices! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 triangles, and a cup of tea sweetened with 2 teaspoonfuls of honey. i read for awhile, karen gave my left hand and arm a massage, then at 5;30 she Forced me to walk over to the piano and practise for half an hour. my right hand played every major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic scale plus all the christmas carols that i could remember, then my right hand supported my left hand in thunking out twinkle twinkle 3 or 4 times. at 6pm, karen Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table, and fed me half a glass of milk plus one of my easter eggs - this one oozed some yummy caramel! oh, and a NOT HAPPY, JAN! to whichever one of the support workers from whichever agency that decided that i shouldn't be allowed to watch the 6pm news anymoe, because that little half hour means i am not interacting with my carer. well, just for the record, i am! like, i'll mention if the person speaking has a funny name, or if the story being covered provokes some thoughts. anyways *sigh* i guess i'll just have to get my news from news.com.au from now on. i then trounced karen 3 games to none at uno, before at 6;45pm, she Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the gobbling table. i signed her off and said my thanks and byes at 7pm; she'll be back next thursday. i hope she remembers her promise to bring me a courier mail! to make up for the fact that i'm not llowed to watch the 6pm news anymore :( she's got friends over for tea tonight, and will be having a lamb roast. anyways, dinner was soon called; rice tonight, with lotsa bok choy, some beef, and some 'barra-barra-barra-mundi?':P (as called by PIG mum). washed down with a cup of some yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down juice. i mean, i understand that my mum waters down my pear juice (actually, i don't. WHY does she do that? ><) then PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer desk, and ripped my socks, splint and shoes off.
anyways, i'm glad i finished! i'll just go stick this in my taleofepic2 blog then cram in a few news articles if i have the time, ok? hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

so PIG mumdug me up, got me kitted, then made (PLEASE!

thursday post

good evening! no plodding total from me yet, coz i haven't had dinner yet! i hope i will get some tonight though, PIG mum was a bit mean last night and wouldn't gimme any coz i was online when she and dear dad were having dinner themselves ... oh well. that can count for my skipped meal for the month - apparently, if you skip a meal once a month, it's healthy for you. cool, let's get into it for today!
-em was a happy pig all morning until PIG mum dug her up.
-em felt like she needed to do a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who wheeled me in, gave me a glass of water, and helped me to wipe afterwards.
-PIG mum got me kitted, then made - lol, whoops, i forgot, it's a thursday, so i get to type everything out once in full:
-whenever i had to walk, i used to type that PIG mum FORCED :( me to. when she prohibited me from using all capitals, i typed just Forced until she decided that that word offended her and banned that entirely. so i switched to the word contort, but it wasn't long until PIG mum decided that word offended her too, and removed it from the ever shortening list of words i was allowed to use. she said that henceforth, i was only allowed to use made, so i used MADE until she put her foot down again and said it had to all be in lowercase. *sigh* what can i do but comply? anyways, i used made, but added a word, so it became 'gleefully made'. that was until charlsy left a comment on my blog, saying i was only allowed to use made on its own, no adverbs or anything before it. not really sure why i listen to him, after all, it's MY blog afterall, but i guess i follow his order coz i respect him heaps and heaps as a friend.
and the other thing about last night:
1. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk from the computer to the dining bench top to drink my nightly half a cuppa of milk.

-oh. i was also mega-happy to ring my dear grandma before bed. uncle fung answered, and he told me to hang up so he could ring us back. so i talked to him and aunty nga, who told me all the antics baby mickey's been up to :p before i talked to my grandma, who also prayed with me. that woman is mega-smart, you know! i taught her how to say a few english words: "emily", "milk", and "good night."! woah - it's already 8:30, let's hurry up and start with the spotty points :P for today!
-i just remembered; i'd already started!^^" my bad ... so, let's just continue :p
-PIG mum tootled us off to UQ, listening to westlife's the love album. a lot softer than i would have liked it, but i knew better than to turn it up and incur PIG mum's wrath on me! :P

wednesday post

hello again! well, my final plodding total for wednesday now stands at 1680. let's just pick up from where i left off:
-when the doorbell rang, it wasn't evelyn - it was ursula! surprise! so she kindly stuck my walkbelt back on me, and Forced me to walk to the laundry.
-a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i got dried, redressed, then ursula handed me back my cane and Forced me to walk out to the dining hall.
-much thanks to PIG mum who had made me arvo tea - a toasted cheese - just one slice obviously; it was ENTIRELY too thin >< but expected - and ham sandwhich, cut into 4 squares or triangles and a cup of water-tea (normally, i'd just say 'coloured water', but PIG mum has threatened to give me just that if i keep saying it, so now i say 'water-tea'. satisfied yet, PIG mum? :P)
-time to go, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to ursula's car, and off ursula tootled us off to unique physiotherapy, listening to 97.3FM.
-it was raining when we arrived, so ursula got out her umbrella and Forced me to walk in.
-i sat down and read a new weekly gossip mag for awhile, until vincent the physio came out and Forced me to walk in.
-we did: left arm exercises, mostly. and a few standing ones, etc. thankfully, as saturday is ANZAC day, and therefore a public holiday, i don't think he will be appearing. :)
-vincent the physio Forced me to walk out; he handed me to ursula and gave her a receipt.
-ursula Forced me to walk to luigi's; i took a look at the icecream, settled on my favourite cookies and cream over mint choc chip. i took a seat outside as ursula went to buy the icecream. or was it gelato? can't remember, sorry. ><
-ursula returned with a little tub of cookies and cream for me, and a little tub of plain chocolate for herself. it cost a whopping $3 though!
-we traded bites, each deciding that our own was better. :P ursula finished way before me, but didn't tell me to hurry up or anything, so i just savoured mine. :)
-all finished, ursula Forced me to walk back to her car, and she tootled us back to my ugly home. :p still listening to 97.3FM.
-PIG mum met us at the door, and made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to watch 7's evening news, read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sports by shane webcke, and weather by john schluter.
-we watched today tonight till 6:45, then ursula Forced me to walk to the toilet, Forced me to walk over and wash my right hand - though she kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the computer table.
-so i haven't actually had dinner tonight. maybe i'll ask for some once i'm seated and watching house. just please please PLEASE don't let chase be dead! coz he's my favourite character! ><
-i think i've got UQ physio toms? but obviously no hydro. ok, i think i have a minute or two to read a few news articles before i go to watch house. i'll try to remember my favourite quote for tomorrow's post!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post

good evening! em plodded 2667 steps today. righteo, let's jump straight into the spotty points :P for today!
-em woke up, looked with bleary short-sighted eyes at the clock, then decided my eyesight was too poor to see that distance - i had physio at 9am at the PA, there's no way it could be 10am! :P
-so i called PIG mum, who said, "yeah, no physio today. poor dom dom's sick."
-she dug me up, but i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable, so much thanks to PIG mum who pushed me in, gave me a mug of water to drink, and helped me to wipe afterwards.
-PIG mum rolled me back to my bedroom, got me kitted, then made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk out to the dining hall.
-breakfast was ... duh. >< i honestly can't remember what/if i had breakfast! gomen, gomen.^^"
-what i do remember is PIG mum kindly popping me my pills.
-time to go, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, and off she tootled us to plaza.
-we parked, then PIG mum FORCED :( (first time) to walk in there. i wanted to go to the bathroom, so PIG mum plopped me down on a seat then went to ask a lady for the keys (don't really know why the disabled loo is locked?).
-back outside, PIG mum plopped me back down on the seat as she went to go buy us tickets.
-PIG mum returned and made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the beginning of thursday's post to read what i REALLY want to type, but have unfortunately been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in. we took a seat - i begged her for some popcorn coz i've never had any at the cinemas before - and surprisingly, she said yes!
-the movie started. here are all my favourite quotes and trivia, courtesy of imdb:
-According to the film's make-up expert Ed French, it took four hours to apply the prosthetics to James Marsters to change him into Piccolo. At first it took 17 hours, but Marsters had difficulty breathing and Piccolo's look also seemed overdone, so some prosthetics were removed, thus shortening the time to 4 hours.
-James Marsters discussed the look of Piccolo during the Grand Slam 2008 convention. He said the producers wanted to make Piccolo "more beautiful" than James wanted him to be. Since the producers weren't around when filming started, James and the make up artist changed the character's look to make him ugly, which would reflect Piccolo's rage from being imprisoned for so long. James said, "It would be better to be fired than mess up Piccolo."
-Justin Chatwin considers it an honour to play Son Goku: "He is a very important and epic character. He is always seeing the positive side of things, does good things, and always tries to help and take care of the weak, not only pursuing his power. He is a dependable and loving man as well as a boy."
-To prepare for his role as Son Goku, Justin Chatwin read all the Dragon Ball comics and "The Journey to the West," the Chinese literary classic which inspired the Dragon Ball saga; he practised martial arts and acrobatics; and to get into Goku's character (a likeable child-man), he told jokes to fellow cast members between filming breaks to increase the rapport between them/their characters.
-To prepare for her role as Bulma, Emmy Rossum watched "Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru" (1986) and read the "Dragon Ball" comics.

-Joon Park admitted he didn't think he was going to get the role of Yamcha "because I'm god in Korea, but a shit in the US." He auditioned for the role in nothing but a hat and shorts, but as soon as director James Wong took a look at him Park landed the role.
-While filming a fight between Son Goku and Mai, Eriko Tamura accidentally injured Justin Chatwin by striking his face a little harder than intended. She apologized over and over, but eventually they both laughed it off and went on filming; Chatwin claims that this incident enabled the fight to very powerful and intense, which fit the tone of the film.
-Since Bulma and Yamcha develop a relationship, it was important for Emmy Rossum that she establish a good bond with Joon Park, so they spent a lot of time together getting to know each other; when Rossum learned Park was a musician, the two of them traded favourite songs between them to enjoy. Rossum learned two things: "Because everyone's taste in music is so personal, I've found music a very good way to get to know someone," and that Park loves classic rock.
-The film's title was originally going to be simply "Dragonball" in homage to the title of the original series, but the word "Evolution" was added to show that this would be a more different and advanced version of the saga
-In "Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru" (1986), Goku was a 12-year-old at the beginning of the story and 15 when he fought King Piccolo, but in Dragonball Evolution, he was made 18. He also does not have a tail in the movie.
-The filmmakers decided to keep the number of characters in the film to an absolute minimum for a tighter story and better characterization. Therefore, sentient animals like Oolong and Puar were removed for realism, and fan-favourites like Tien and Krillin were removed for better focus on the core characters.
-According to James Marsters, his characterisation of Lord Piccolo is based on loneliness and revenge: "Piccolo is floating in the air in the beautiful landscape, but he never even admires the landscape; he is only thinking or musing and staring at his feet. I think that is a characteristic of Piccolo more than anything else. Maybe it must be a characteristic for revenge. He hates himself and blames the people who trapped him; his desire is to kill not only them but their family, furthermore to destroy the city and the planet they live and protect. To get revenge is everything to him. Everything."
-Goku is seen in a poster wearing a sweatshirt with Japanese characters on them. These characters (actually the same one repeated over and over) are the Japanese character "kame", which means "turtle". This was the symbol any student of Master Roshi (who is also known as the Turtle Hermit) would wear.
-Goku is instructed by Roshi to carry all of Roshi's luggage on his back, while keeping up with Bulma's vehicle. This is similar to an event in the "Dragon Ball" comics where Master Roshi instructs Goku and Krillin to train wearing 50-pound turtle shells on their backs
-Music composer Brian Tyler recorded the film's score with an 82-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at 20th Century Fox's Newman Scoring Stage.
-SPOILER: In the Dragon Ball saga, Goku transforms into Oozaru (a giant monstrous ape) whenever a full moon rises, similar to a werewolf situation. In this film, Oozaru is an alternate personality who appears when an eclipse occurs.
-advertisementMaster Roshi: In an ancient time, Earth was nearly destroyed. Not by man, but by Gods from the sky.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Master Roshi: Seven mystics banded together to fight the invaders. They created the Dragon Balls. and here come the quotes i like!
Master Roshi: Now the signs have appeared again, the evil has returned. Only one chosen warrior has the power to defeat this threat.
Lord Piccolo: With this Dragon Ball, I take my vengeance... upon the Earth.
Goku: I'm not ready for this.
Master Roshi: You are the only one who can do it.
Goku is fighting with Master Roshi]
Bulma: STOP! You both need to stop!
[Goku fires a chi blast at Roshi, but Roshi ducks and Bulma is hit]
Goku: Sorry!
Chi Chi: [confronting a duplicate of herself] Who the hell are YOU?
Bulma: [about Roshi] Why are we wasting our time with this guy? Let's just go.
Master Roshi: But...
Goku: We'll go...
[looking at Roshi]
Goku: all THREE of us.
Goku creates a chi wave which opens every locker in the school]
Chi Chi: Did you do that?
presenting the Four-Star Dragon Ball]
Grandpa Gohan: There are only six others in the world, each with stars of one to seven. Besides you, Goku, this is my greatest treasure.
[Goku trashes Fuller and his gang]
Goku: Oh, about your car...
[smashes the car]
Bulma: I'm not a Piccolo, you twit, whatever that is! And if I'd killed your grandfather I'd have finished you off already!
Goku: I am Goku. I am Oozaru. In order to defeat you, I must be one with myself.
[to Goku after he just fired chi blasts]
Chi Chi: You're different. I like different.

monday post

good evening! my final plodding total for monday now stands at approx. 2732. righteo, let's pick up where i left off!
-amanda brought the bread and butter pudding receipe(sp?) for us, so PIG mum will kindly buy the ingredients toms when i'm at physio, i think.
-arvo tea was a mug of tea sweetened with a single spoonful of honey, and a toasted cheese sandwhich. too bad, amanda only gave me a single slice today, meaning it was ENTIRELY too thin :( but oh well. better luck toms!
-amanda Forced me to walk to the bathroom so she could change me for hydro. while i was on the toilet seat, she noticed a smudge in my knickers. "em, wipe.' she ordered. i did, and ... hallelujah! (sp?) "well em, you obviously can't be pregnant" :P laughs amanda as PIG mum goes to cancel my hydro.
-so amanda Forced me to walk to the laundry, and gave me a nice hot shower - hairwash today.
-i drip dried, got redressed, then amanda handed me my cane and Forced me to walk out to the dining table.
-i'd already had afternoon tea, so amanda grabbed me on approx. 10 mins of left hand exercises, just squeezing the stress ball in my left hand 100x then lifting the 500g dumbell with my left hand 100x. oh, she gave my left arm a massage, too.
-at 5:30pm, amanda Forced me to walk over to my TV chair, and flicked on 10's news.
-she kindly fed me 2 half crackers and a mug of warm milo as a snack.
-7's 6pm news was read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sports by shane webcke, and weather by john schluter or talitha cummins. and yay, telstra shares are up! they're sitting on $3.21 now.
-we watched today tonight, hosted by matt white till 6:45pm, when amanda Forced me to walk to the loo, Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me dry it - and Forced me to walk back to the dining room.
-i signed her off, said my thanks and byes. amanda rocked off 10 mins early, she'll be back toms.
-PIG mum came back to force me on 40mins of left hand exercises, culminating in a walk up to my room and back down.
-dinner: rice, with lotsa normal lettuce (as opposed to cos) and some very yummy BBQ chook! PIG mum said dear dad got it from woolies. washed down with only a plain mug of water, adhering (sp?) to PIG mum's absurd rule that i'm only allowed water, and no juice, if i consume a milk drink around 6pm.
-ding dong! uncle colbert arrived to take my passport photo! remember, no smiling. :P
-anyways, so ends my post for today. i've got physio at the PA toms - fingers crossed for morning tea! - then PIG mum will take me to watch the new dragonball movie! sounds exciting! lol, i'm possibly looking more forward to the fact that we can have lunch at foodcourt afterwards! i haven't been for a whole month!

thursday post/100th post!

heylo! welcome to the HUNDRETH post! i wonder how long i can keep this blog going for?
anyways, including hydro, today em plodded 3718 steps. anyways, let's just jump straight into the spotty points :P for today, coz i wanna read the newest chapter from a really good harry potter fic!
-ok, i admit, my bad - i finished it. ^^" meanig that i prolly have all of seven mins b4 PIG mum boots me off to bed, but i'll just see how far i can get, ok?
-em managed to take herself to the loo once last night/this morning without killing herself! yay! :P
-PIG mum dragged me up, got me kitted, then made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk out to the gobbling table. :P
-i spat out my mouth splint, poured myself a glass of water and drank it, when ordered to do so by PIG mum.
-breakfast was 2 yummy weet-bix with half a smear of honey. not as much as i'd've liked, but oh well.
-much thanks to PIG mum who popped me my tablets - a fish oil and a bilberry. i honestly have no clue why she's ALWAYS missing one, if she can't find the bilberry,the next day, she can't find the cranberry :P
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk out to the car, and off she tootled us off to hydro, listening to the dreadful, out-of-tune, nasally singer, andy hui. :P
-PIG mum parked, the made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk in.

-hydro today: walking just forwards, squatting, some left hand and leg work, and two head dunks at the end! :P
-i walked out of the pool, and PIG mum kindly hosed me down.
-i went for a tinkle after, then got redressed.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back out to the car, the long way. >< i did ask if we could leave through the fire exit, but she refused, saying she would only let me if one of the hydrotherapists told her we could. so i must remember to ask one next hydro session i attend.
-PIG mum tootled us off to sunnybank oriental. we saw aunty catherine/ping yee :P!
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk inside the restaurant. i gave a great big hug to suzanne, and we took our seats.

-suzanne will be leaving next month! but she'll come back here for follow-ups, etc. and she suggested that she could maybe come visit us at our house next time. :) i think she said her brother-in-law, whom she's going to move in with, is an electrician?
-i couldn't resist, and gulped all the ice in my cold milk tea. of course, my mouth then froze up, and PIG mum yelled at me. *sigh* am used to it. i'm pretty sure, that once a day, she either slaps me, or kicks me. that's ok, i'm used to it. and remember, she's a fully qualified RN, she wouldn't be careless enough to leave any marks.
-we paid, then PIG mum madeheylo! welcome to the HUNDRETH post! i wonder how long i can keep this blog going for?

-PIG mum tootled us home, where amanda was already waiting for us. she Forced me to walk into the laundry, then gave me a nice hot shower, hairwash today. i amused us by telling her the 'puddles' and 'someting wong' jokes :P
-i got dried, redressed, then amanda handed me my stick and Forced me to walk out.
-arvo tea: a cup of tea sweetened with a single spoonful of honey, and a toasted cheese - yay, 2 slices! thanks amanda! - and turkey slice sandwhich, cut into 4 squares.
-i read my raymond e. feist novel for awhile, amanda gave my left arm/hand a massage, then forced me to do roughly half an hour of left hand exercises.
-hehe, i got a foot rub today! never had one from a carer before ... :P quite comfy!
-at 5:30, amanda handed me my stick, and Forced me to walk over to the piano. my right hand played every major, minor, melodic minor and chromatic scale, plus 2-4 christmas carols, then my right hand supported my left hand at thunking twinkle twinkle 5-6 times.
-a 6pm, amanda Forced me to walk back to my TV chair, and flipped on 7's news, read out by kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke, and weather by john schluter.
-thanks to amanda who also fed me 2 half-crackers and a yummy warm milo.
-after the news, we watvhed today tonight till 6:45, when amanda Forced me to walk to the toilet. Forced me to walk over to wash my right hand - but kindly helped me to dry it - i think the only 2 people who refuse to help me dry it are evelyn and PIG mum - and Forced me to walk back to my chjair.
-we said our byes and thanks to amanda, who'll be back on monday.
-after she left, PIG mum immediately forced me on approx. 40mins of exercises (but she claims that it was only 20, so how about we compromise and call it a solid half hour? :P) culminating in a walk back up to my room and back down.
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa choy sum, and some barramundi. i only got to wash it down with a mug of water, rather than juice, coz PIG mum has just made a new rule: apparently, if i ask my carer to make me a mug of warm milo or ovaltine at 6pm, i can only drink water with my evening meal. not realkly sure why, but oh well. no biggie.
-PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of yesterday's post to see wha i REALLY want to type, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to the computer.
-righteo, silly me has emptied the spam box and promptly forgotten about the number :P oh well. anyways, i hope everyone has a great weekend! just physio for me toms. >< and susan's coming toms, i think. righteo, goodnie!
cheers,
