Perth's severe hailstorm

Kenneth was sick for the past 2 days, and strangely, I had actually hoped inside me that he will get well soon, and in return for that, I was willing to be the sick one. Believe it or not, I became sick straight after. I had a serious sore throat yesterday, and had already taken a quarter bottle of Pi Pa Gao. Then today, I awoke with a serious flu, and pretty much I tried to sleep it off but it's not working. Kenneth is totally well today, though I'm down with a serious headache and flu plus really sore red eyes, he's not even thankful for that==

Anyways, today was a special day. Weather in Perth has been especially terrible for the past couple of months, Summer this year was extremely hot. Every day, thousands of people are complaining about the weather despite it being Autumn now. So today was the day, the day the sky decided to give us an extreme downpour. To destroy in and out of my house.

It was around 3.45pm when the skies turned real dark and it started pouring. Minutes after, my house has had a makeover.


The bottom half of the flower pot immersed in rain water.


Flooded backyard.



Flooded car porch.


Damaged fly screen due to downpour of golf ball sized hailstones (according to the news, 6cm in diameter hailstones were spotted).



The hailstones in my backyard. (also seen at the back of the video below)



Hailstones.

The pictures above were all taken indoor, so they're not as clear, and it's all due to the coldness outside that blurred the glass windows.


Just to emphasise on how many hailstones were dropped from the sky outside one part of my house.


I wonder how does the sky produces hailstones of these sizes? Are they like.. edible? I mean, can you um, put them inside your soda drink, and.. drink it all off without any harmful effects? Of course you wash off the sand first!

I took a video of the hailstorm whilst staying indoor, of course! Why did I take a video? Well cause it was this that disturbed my sleep (thus I'm still sick), and also the fact that I was absolutely awestruck by the amount of hailstones dropping at such a rapid rate! Honestly through my 5 years in Perth, I've seen hailstones only once or twice, and it was more like I hear them thumping on the roof but couldn't see it cause it was very late at night in pure darkness. So that explains why I'm taken aback that such weather could actually happen, especially during Autumn! *pats myself on the head* Anyways, since the video was taken from behind a flyscreen, so it's not very clear:(


Basically really, the little white thingy flying and dropping everywhere are the hailstones. (that's if you can see it==) Or otherwise if you listen to it closely, you hear the hailstones thumping on the rooftop, though they really just sound like you hitting against a glass with a chopstick. Towards the end of the video, I guess you can see the hailstones landing on the ground in a bunch.

Also also, because my house is so damn old seriously, cracks on the walls has caused serious leaking throughout the house, including the kitchen and both sliding doors and MY ROOM!!! Bloody carpets are wet because of that==

If not convinced at how severe the hailstorm was today, then take a look at the following pictures that were taken from the WA News.


Dark clouds forming.


Does it look like a hailstorm is heading our way?


The side of the road are all filled with hailstones.


A guy wearing his cricket cap standing on his full-of-hailstones-frontyard preventing himself from getting hurt. (Don't ask me why he is not staying indoors judging from this scenario.)


Some resident's house filled with a ground of hailstones.


Big enough? Large enough? Gigantic enough? Enormous enough? GINORMOUS YEA?

Finally, presenting you with the last picture of the day...

PRETTY MUCH?!

I wanna have this at the back of my house next time!!!


"This made me so sad. She was hit by a car, and he kept coming back to feed her, but then she died, and he cried near her body."

-Taken from Xing Yu's blog.

100 things guys should know about girls.

1. Do not cheat on a girl. We girls talk, we WILL know, and we WILL find out, and we WILL dump you!

2. Be aware of all your girlfriends' guy friends, brothers, fathers, or anything. They are protective. Every single male friend they have will kick your ass if you end up hurting her.

3. Never ever miss an opportunity to tell her that she's beautiful. We girls love that!

4. If she slapped you hard, you probably deserved it.

5. Do not be afraid of holding her. If she's going out with you in the first place, it's obvious that she likes you and wants to be in your arms.

6. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend - a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts or hoodie, and a really pretty piece of jewellery.

7. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely. We think that's really cute and sweet.

8. If a guy is bothering your girlfriend, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.

9. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer. It'll make her feel secure that you love her more than the other girl.

10. Never ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.

11. Go along with her to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went with her.

12. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend. Or else.

13. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/ wrestling, be very gentle. Let her win once in a while.

14. Memorise your girlfriend's birthday. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life. Not gonna lie.

15. Don't drench yourself in the cologne, but smell good.

16. You don't have to spend a million dollars on the Birthday/ Christmas/ Valentine's gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, or cost anything but it has to be meaningful.

17. Don't ever lie to us; we always find out.

18. Don't say you understand when you don't. That's bad.

19. Remember: Girls are pretty, but yours is the Prettiest!

20. Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; but doing something sweet will always get you off the hook.

21. Size does matter, but only to hoes; not girls that want relationships.

22. No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe. Don't bother trying to convince us otherwise, that is a bad idea.

23. It's good to be sensitive, to a point.

24. If you did something wrong, apologise. Even if you didn't, do it anyway.

25. You did something bad. I seem cool with it. I'm not. (See directly above.)

26. We are self-conscious by nature; we can't help it. Let it be.

27. We don't shave our legs every day so just get over it.

28. Shave your face, no matter how cool you think your goatee or beard or moustache looks, we probably hate it. We like you clean shaven.

29. Show off a little, we think it's cute.

30. You are our boyfriend, our man, our protector, whether you know it or not, you are; act like it.

31. You are cute in raglan-sleeved T-shirts (two-toned baseball undershirts).

32. We love it when you hug us from behind and whisper in our ear.

33. "Fine" is NEVER an appropriate response when I ask you how I look.

34. Most of the time when I fantasise, it's about you. Don't get obsessed over that.

35. I expect you to call me. If you don't, you go down.

36. I'm more forgiving of you than I really should be. Don't you dare take advantage of that.

37. When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing.

38. You look hot in hooded clothing items. Always.

39. You should never tell a girl what to do. Ever.

40. Any decent man will ask a girl out to her face. I mean; if you aren't man enough to ask us out to our face, who says you're gonna be man enough to our boyfriend at all.

41. Girls are very impressed when you ask them for advice. Unless it's about another girl.

42. I'm unimpressed with a man who doesn't take the lead.

43. When in doubt, go with the shirt that matches your eye color.

44. You're sexy when you're shaving, fixing things, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, driving, eating a peach, holding a baby.

45. Girls need to hear how you feel about them. Often. Tell her now.

46. A girl wants to be the best thing that ever happened to you - and for you to recognise this and tell her.

47. If she's not feeling loved, she will start looking....

48. We like it when you tell us what you're thinking, even if you don't know yourself. It's cute.

49. It's cheating as soon as you're doing something with her that you wouldn't want me to see, hear, read...

50. For the record: I'd rather you break up with me than cheat.

51. We can fall in love with you without really knowing you, if you are an ass, we will find out, and we will get over it. Fast. Don't ruin it.

52. You like her, make a move. Don't just sit there, you will fail, and you won't get her.

53. Baseball players are hot. The sport makes you skinny and your arm muscles… well, it's hot. We’ll go to all your games even if we hate baseball.

54. When you compliment us, we aren't sure how to accept the compliment without leading you on or reject the compliment without hurting you. So just bear with us here.

55. WE HATE BEING LED ON! If you think it's bad being led on by a girl, try being led on by a guy.

56. We like it when guys are willing to have an actual relationship, not just a one-night stand. Most girls don't like pimps or players, just guys who like ONE girl only.

57. But don't be obsessive. Major turn-off.

58. Call sometimes, just to say hi, not for a certain reason. When we see your number on caller ID, our heart always skips a beat. Try calling just to say good night, or good morning, it's so adorable!

59. BE HONEST!

60. Don't ONLY tell us what we want to hear. We HATE that.

61. At sleepovers, if you wonder what we talk about, quit worrying. It really is only you.

62. If you catch us staring, it is most likely because we're spacing out, not because we really stare at you. Unless we smile when you notice. Then you either look really hot, or we like you.

63. We like it when you hold us when we're crying. It's good to feel loved and safe.

64. Don't go to our friends to talk about us. Come straight to us.

65. Don't tell us you love us unless you are positive you mean it. If we don't say it back, it's just that we really want to mean it when we say it. Don't say it right away, then it shows lack of commitment.

66. We like our hands to be held and our waists to be touched.

67. We like you to kiss our hand and cheeks and forehead (esp. forehead!!), not just shove your tongue down our throats. We do like to breathe.

68. We like it when you're tender, but don't lose your masculinity.

69. Do chivalrous things when we least expect it (eg. Holding doors for us).

70. As surprising as it may be, while guys might actually look at personality, the first thing girls look at tends to be looks. We're not going to see you and think, 'I wonder what his personality is like!' Terrible, but true.

71. If we love you, and you're hurt on the basketball court, rolling on the floor in pain; we're hurting more just watching you.

72. We LOVE it when you get nervous around us. It's adorable! Don't think you have to be Mr. Cool Guy all the time.

73. Don't play hard to get. We'll get bored and move on.

74. If you don't call us, then we will spend hours thinking about why you never called, and we will waste a lot of time thinking about it, eventually coming to the conclusion that we don't like you anymore.

75. We lost interest quickly if you lead us on but never take action.

76. We might seem to flirt a lot, but a girl always thinks about the one guy she really likes right before she falls asleep.

77. When a girl likes a guy, she subconsciously gives him a song that makes her think of him every time she hears it.

78. If guys do the same as girls do in #77, tell her what song reminds you of her.

79. Randomly compliment girls in conversations. If you're talking about sports, be like "Oh, by the way, that shirt really made your eyes look green today." It totally throws us off, and we love it.

80. Ask us about how we're doing once in a while, and at least pretend to be interested.

81. If we're not talking to you, we secretly want you to talk to us first.

82. Play with our hair without being like a gay hairstylist.

83. We get really happy when you show any sign of interest. Don't just do it and then never do it again. Bad bad bad…

84. Keep up the conversation on IM and phones and in person! Don't be awkward. That's bad.

85. We will always feel bad if we don't like you back. Not all girls are bitches, no matter what you may think. We hate to reject you.

86. Ok, so some girls are bitches and they like rejecting boys, but the people who wrote this group are not. Better?

87. If we say "Let's just be friends", we really mean it. Don't keep trying to pursue us, and don't say ok and then ignore us. That's just mean and horrible.

88. It's adorable when a best guy friend whom a girl has thought of liking confesses he likes her.

89. If you're single, find the one girl who's always there on the sidelines at your football game, or at each of your concerts, all your baseball games. She loves you. Her excuse may be that she's there for her brother, but she's really there for you.

90. After you find that girl, smile at her once in a while, it'll mean the world to her.

91. Get to know her, you'll make her year first of all, and maybe, just maybe, you'll end up liking her.

92. In your mind, give every girl a chance. Each one deserves at least one.

93. Girls fantasise too, it's just not always about sex.

94. We girls give you guys code names so that you don't know that we're talking about you.

95. If you're jealous, it may suck for you, but we think it's attractive if you really care that much.

96. If a girl blushes when you talk to her, she either likes you or she's embarrassed by what you're saying.

97. Girls don't really write your name on a piece of paper a million times if they like you, that's a myth…… sometimes.

98. If a girl really likes you, just seeing you will make her day.

99. Even if you aren't all that cute, and we like you, we think you’re hot. Don’t take advantage of that, take pride in that.

100. Every time you smile at us, it may mean only a little to you, but it means the world to us. Don't take the little things for granted.

"meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was my choice,
but falling in love with you was beyond my control.

if I could give you the ability to see yourself as much as I do,
then you would see how much I love you."

10 things I hate about you

"I hate the way you talk to me.
I hate it when you stare.
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick - it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh - even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it that you're not around.
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly, I hate the way I don't hate you -
not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all"


--10 things I hate about you

Bob Marley's love quote

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before, she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyse and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.

--Bob Marley
