The First Step to Being Cultured?

Jon and I finally went for the Picasso exhibition after much procrastination. We drove past the NGV on Thursday night, when I suddenly realised that the Picasso exhibition is closing next weekend. Or else, we'd both still be oblivious, thinking that it'll go on for some time, and end up missing it!

Both of us got out of bed late, and went for brekkie @ Hans Brinker, to have Dutch poffertjes :D YUMMMMM~! Too bad there's no photo of the little cutesy pancakes, cause I was carrying a small sling bag, and there's absolutely no space for a camera, cause I was lotsa junks in my bag. Hehehehe.

I was kinda excited, cause I rarely go for art exhibitions! I am a person of musicals, and theatre, orchestra and stuff, but I've never really gone for a proper art exhibition... so it was all very exciting! Oh btw, I've never been for a proper ballet performance too! *hint* tee hee hee.


Picasso - Love & War 1935 - 1945 Life with Dora Maar.

His pieces were pretty good. There were quite a few from Dora Maar, his ex lover as well. Jon and I initially thought that allocating 2 hours would be enough, but we were wrong! We ended up spending more than 3 hours in there. Pretty amazing huh?!! But we were playing a fool, cracking jokes half the time (ok, maybe only a quarter of the time). One of the ones I remember was a picture of a woman in a striped hat.. and Jon went...
"Man, he should name it a striped woman in a hat, cause the whole painting is striped"
O.o

Or the time when he said...
"I think he got bored, cause he just started painting stuff around the house, like "the vase and the bowl of fruit" picture.


This is one of his other masterpiece - The weeping woman.

After we left the NGV, we walked back to the city to have lunch. We had a veryyy late lunch indeed @ 5pm!! I thought I was gonna faint~! It wasn't entirely a bad idea though, cause we wanted to walk around and shop for abit before we ate, but we were both so hungry, that we didn't buy anything! Woohoo! Quite an achievement huh??? I'm so proud of us! Kekekeke.


Jon & Mei @ Hoyts Melbourne Central - I reckon this pic looks like we're in Japan. With all the bright lights in the city. Hehehe. Ok, maybe I'm just day-dreaming of shopping in Japan. Bleks.

After that, we decided to catch a movie. I've been nagging him to watch "The Devil Wears Prada" with me the whole week. Hehehehe. He finally succumbed to pressure. Tee hee hee. I think he wanted to watch DOA cause he said Holly Valance looks damnnnnnn hot in it, but too bad, they were not showing that last nite, so he had to go with my choice of movie :D *one point for my kailan*

I'm glad he liked it though! I was anticipating that he'd fall asleep again in the cinema, from all the walking we did yesterday. It was pretty tiring, but wow! He didn't! *another point for ya* It was a good day out indeed :D

My first step towards being cultured... and being more refined. Hahahahahah.. Yeah rite! I bet I looked like an idiot when I was laughing at his jokes. I can only hope that those people there didn't think that I was laughing at Pablo Picasso's art work and disrespecting him. *shy*

Mei said...

ade: Uuurrrr... he's not weird :$ *bleh* ok, maybe just a little bit random.

Anonymous said...

You're weird.

You're both weirdos.

"Oooh, look at me. I'm in love. He's in love with me. I don't need "him" anymore. Oooh, I'm not in denial. Oooh. look at me in my pretty new top. Am I fat??? Oh, no you're not. Just look at my top but not my chubby self. OOOh... I love this I love that. I am a poet! I love to be spooned!"

WOW. I manage to outgross myself this time.

Mei said...

anonymous: If YOU don't like it, then DON'T blardee read it. I know I'm sooooo pointing a gun to your head, forcing you to read my entries yeah??

And who are you to judge things with "him"?? FYI, things are great with "him"... we are still the best of friends, but not like it concerns you in any way.

And oh, thanks for dropping by, being brave by hiding behind that anonymity.

Mei, don't be disturbed with such comments. Some people are just jealous of others. Everyone has their right to live their own lives. And you've got a beautiful and blessed one. *hugz*

Mei said...

timmy: evidently, he/she/it doesn't *shrugs*

Mei said...

Clair: Nah, don't worry about it. I don't sweat the small stuff. It's just sad to know there are people who can't stand the fact that there are others out there who are happy.

Hope things will slowly improve for ya! *hugz* Blood is always thicker than water.

mei: so angry??? HOHOHO

timmy: i do have a life. look at who is the one who keep checking to see who comment and reply back. HOHOHO

clair: you mean you are jealous of her? It is alright you know. yea every1 has the right to their own lives. i have the right to comment. you have the right to suck up to her. HOHOHO

if you do not like what you read, then do not let people comment. now i know why xiaxue has more class. she can handle these kind of things.

welcome to the world of blogging. if you cannot handle it, get out and like timmy said, get a life. HOHOHO

weirdo.

i am already guessing what is next after this comment. HOHOHO

prove me wrong

HOHOHO

Mei said...

anonymous: You're right :) You can keep commenting, cause frankly, I don't really care. It might even be quite entertaining if I ever get bored.

I'll still write what I wanna write... and I can only say sorry if it disgusts you in any way. I'm sorry that I am happy with my life at the moment. I'm sorry that you HAVE to read about my "over the moon", "euphoric" "lovey dovey" happy life.

You can say what you want, but please have some respect for others, and leave them out of this.

Mei said...

timmy and clair: I'm so sorry you guys got pulled into this by the ever so 'brave' anonymous that feels the burning urge to speak his/her mind, yet needs to hide behind that anonymity.

Anonymous said...

anonymous: you're the one being lame, checking to see if ppl are refreshing the page to check for your comments.

Anonymous said...

Great. See what you've done Anonymous?! She's put INSPIRATIONAL SONG lyrics up. As if her posts aren't lame enough.

Mei said...

anonymoustwo: I'm sorry you're forced to read my entries too. Gosh, what has the world become? Now everyone has to read about Mei's sad pathetic life?

Oh wait, it's happy now. Maybe that's why you people are agitated. That someone's actually happy?

Anonymous said...

mei, i'm closer to you than you think. I cannot stand it anymore, listening to you talk talk talk talk talk. And you have to write write write write!

Stop your incessant whinnings about him and him!

Sometimes you think we all can stand it, but the ugly truth is, we can't.

And for once you got something right, your life is pretty pathetic.

There are many happy people out there, but they do not need to convince the whole world that they are happy. It is just like you are trying to prove something to him! and I am pretty sure his better half does not like what she has to read on your blog. I also do not understand how 'kailan' or what vege he is can stand you writing this stuff.

Mei said...

anonymous: You know what hurts about this whole thing? It's not the fact that you're saying hurtful things on my blog. It's the fact that you consider yourself close to me, and yet can't say things to my face, and have to resort to being anonymous on my blog.

If you can't stand me being over the moon and talking about him, why couldn't you just tell it to my face?

"He" reads my blog, and is totally fine with what I write. I don't know about his 'better' half though, I don't even know her.

But really, if you soooo can't stand the things I write, then why keep coming back? Just please, don't read my blog.

Anonymous said...

FINALLY!!!! Someone has spoken out about your blog mei. I just wanna add, u're not that hot as what you think you are....y dont u spend less time with your blog and spend more time with Jon... unless your blog spoons you too and calls you his Kangkung or some other fibre....

Anonymous said...

mei, do what u want with ur life and write what u want. if its any comfort, belinda chee and xiaxue get hate comments as well...and we all know they're pretty popular ppl plus they can be pretty hot :)

putting a positive spin on things: ur a certified celebrity now cos u have 'haters'!

Chill dude

Mei said...

anonymous3: Thanks for attempting to be kind, telling me what to do with my life :D Really do appreciate it. *rolls eyes*
And no, I do NOT think I'm hot, and I never once said that to anyone.

And really, does it concern YOU, what MY blog does to ME, or what it calls ME? *If it does*

But then again, I do have to thank you by gracing us all with your presence. :) Have a good one.

Mei said...

yerdeh: Thanks for those kind, comforting words. I'm stil learning how to handle it, like Bel (but no, she's a celebrity, and I'm not) but I'm fine :)

Sometimes, it hurts knowing that people 'close' to you are hiding behind masks to get to you... but I do know what I'm doing with my life, and no, those entries are not to prove anything to anyone. It's just an expression of how I feel.

And I just wish that people will understand. But oh well, nothing's ever perfectly ideal.

Mei, I think you are hot. I enjoy taking it up your bum. I am sure you do too.

I know YOU know who I am and I am sure you are thinking of my big fat hard dick now.

Mei said...

mei's lover: Wow, taking it up my bum? How is that physically possible? Gee, perhaps you should go back to school and brush up on your grammar.

And no, I'm far too busy to think of your toothpick dick.
