Square Life
I live a square life
That allows me few colors
On my off-white wall.
These are my square plants,
They are green because of me.
Sometimes they turn brown.
This is our square couch,
Elephants dotted in red
Yellow and shy blue.
This is our square tree.
Harvested from a store in time for the Jungle Party.
It hangs around with not much to do
But to mesmerize the likes of me and Andrew.
This is my square hair
The label Hypnotic Red.
We got high to dye.
This is our rose plant.
It is not part of the square.
Because it's red and rarely ever plays fair.

I give up on my feeble attempt to write haikus. They all have leprosy, with bits missing here and there.
Figured I really have more important things to attend to, like writing my CV (for a new job, hopefully!), and writing an essay worth 60% of my paper.
Which is due in a week.
And I have not attended lectures.
Nor have I bought the textbook.
And the essay questions which I have not read.
Have a jolly good time, Huei!
(This post began as just wanting to post a picture of my new hair.. that's all haha)

Martha's Pantry
In order to fuel my so-called "nesting-drive" (as coined by Phil), we went to a quaint little cafe just off Cuba St for our pay-day celebrations. Everything is delightfully grandmothery and delicate. Along with amazing presentation and a wonderful atmosphere to sip tea in, this observer approves :D
Oh yes, oh yes.
Nesting isn't so bad now, is it?

Lost in the Jungle
A selected few photos from Stainton's 23rd birthday party. These were taken by AJ with my camera because I was waaay too gone to even handle a camera. Just a mixture of people I know-know, and good looking photos :)
Our Jungle Party was one dramatic party complete with hospital visits, firemen, fist fights, crazy 5-month-pregnant girl who makes you touch her, creepy rapist, and a fuckload of cool people. The outside world terrified us so much that we ended up locking ourselves in my room for most of the night and we formed our own little hippie communion. This was also because all they played was gangsta hip hop bullshit outside :(

Our Tripping Bamboo Mission (for love, glory, and good times)
Another one of our infamous missions. We were all tripping as we staggered up to Victoria University in the dead of night. Our goal was simple: to harvest some bamboo and return it back to the flat in time for the Jungle party and without angering the panda bears that were starting to form a circle surrounding us. (We'd been there, done that).
We created a simple diversion by threading stale meat through our shoelaces, which then allowed us to surpass these gigantic over-grown raccoons and proceed further along the track.
University can be a scary mother fucking place at night. Upon our arrival on Kelburn Parade, we realized we were alone. Jacob, who's idea it was to steal bamboo, hadn't arrived from his suburban flat yet. To kill time, we partook in a very common blue-collar activity: bus stop sitting. And boy, did we enjoy it. Anything to soothe our red and baboonistic asses after such a hike up to Kelburn (again..).
Stainton then took the initiative to call our control center, which was currently being manned by Phil. Phil researched on the internet machine for our next move and relayed the information back to us. No success. No information was relayed, you see.
After getting a "clue" from Jacob, we started searching all the skies and earth for a "tall red building". Around the corner from this mystical "V.Z." building was a pathway and numerous flights of stairs that led up to a bamboo forest!
I was starting to get the paranoid H-Js.
Stainton's astonished face in front of me and an abandoned house in the background.
I was relatively unproductive through out the course of the harvest. I think the paranoia was getting to me. Stainton then offered Jacob some money in exchange for manual labour.
After passing a few more scary homes, we were then led down the scariest track of all time. No schnitzels, it was fo shure the most scared I have been while tripping. Firstly, it was pitch black. Being in a total void of light in the middle of the forest isn't exactly warm and reassuring to my rancid mind at the time. And then to add to the movie-like suspense, we could hear a faint sound of trickling water as we got deeper and deeper into the forest.
Relying only on what our feeble cellphones could emit, we trudged in the semi-damped assortment of rotten leaves and animal feces. We then saw visions of being attacked by bush-hobos (Jacob insists that they exist). After perhaps half an hour of walking through the stench of nature, we finally emerged at Willis St.
Traffic lights. Smog. Advertisement asking us to check our moles. The stoner crowd at McDonalds...
...We were back in our natural habitat.
And we also had 9 stalks of nature with us and a mob of panda bears sitting around in a circle, not too far from here.
Awesome flatsome = 1
Nature = 0
Of Easter Preparations and Joker Delicatessens..
On Thursday we went costume hunting in the freezing cold. The ones we were going to order online fell through because it was Easter weekend and it was too late to get them delivered to Wellington :(
The party is tonight and I've pimped out my costume and purchased the supplies, so hopefully all goes well! Plus that Keanu-boy is back up again and it'll be jolly good fun to party with him like old times.
Have a great Easter weekend woohoo!
