The Ab Fab Life

an ab fab life is one where you survive most days defying your accident prone-ness and leave your bones unbroken, where you eat ice cream and where oprah doesn't talk about something really dumb, but gives away free stuff instead this is my ab fab-ness ;)

movies, passports and a brush with danger



love love love this movie! please everyone go and see it!

wow its been so long since i blogged, life and lack of tecnological access has rendered me inept for the last few weeks.

the passport saga continues - it turns out that after submitting my second batch of fingerprints and more photos, that nobody is sure where the heck my passport forms are. the people at headoffice claim they haven't seen hide nor hair of it and the people at the edenvale office claim the people at headoffice are being lazy. they, the edenvale people, then suggested that i come in and do some more fingerprints and bring some more photos and they will give me, out the of the goodness of their government owned hearts, a free temporary one! problem is, the japanese embassy won't use temporary ones... so hold thumbs, oh internet people! i still have some time before hectic panic ensues. what have a i learnt from this experience? i am a statistic! yessiree if it goes wrong, i'm your girl! luckily its funny and i thrive off stress.

exciting story of the week : on friday i was babysitting the little cousins and, after a 'fun' day of baking cupcakes with a zillion of their friends, we went to sleep. a little while later, i awoke to shouting and sirens and all the usual exciting noises that make for one hell of a scare. i decided not to get out of bed and investigate but clutched my phone to my chest ready to call for help. a little while later i, being brave and alert and all that csi stuff, fell asleep again. in the morning, my aunt regaled us with this tale STRAIGHT out of desperate housewives i tell you :

the neighbour was sitting at home with her boyfriend minding her own business when her, obviously crazy ex, came along and doused the boyfriends relatively new bmw sports car with petrol and set it alight. the neighbour from the other side then drove past in his brand new car (he literally had bought it that day) which happened to be exactly the same make as the crazed ex boyfriends car and, noticing the large burning thing, hooted to get everyone out the house. the boyfriend, running out, taking in his burnt crisp of a vehicle and seeing what he presumed to be the ex boyfriend trying to get away, picked up a huge rock (not kidding, i saw this thing! it was a flipping boulder!) and chucked it at the other neighbours car, smashing the back window and denting the back. the police and forensics were called and the road was blocked off!

exciting things happen when i choose to sleep!
