Single Ladies, I know how you feel, I was once in your shoes

This was a fun and embarassing video back in 2011 I did with Rose (in case you couldn't tell, she's the one with better legs, to the left (to the left))... I swear I know more of the actual lyrics now.



Sassy, wild, free

Great Expectations


Expectations vs reality when I ________.
a) Spray on a can of Lynx deodorant
b) Became a medical student
c) Take off my top

I found this novelty over-sized Kleenex tissue box in a supermarket in some random rural town whilst on a road-trip. At the time I was so excited to take a photo of it. In hindsight, I now realise how pathetic it makes me look hah.

South-West Side Story: The Musical



The following is the script to a skit from a comedy show I co-directed in 2011. Imagine heavy accents for full effect.

EDIT: The original (shorter) version of this skit I wrote, on stage can be seen here:

South-West Side Story: The Musical

Shakespearian narration:
“Two ethnic gangs… Both alike in minorities… In fair Bankstown, where we lay our scene… From recent grudge... break to... recent ethnicity…where thick accents makes street races non-understandable: from forth the souped up cars of these two foes, a pair of southern cross’d haters threaten each others life...
this is... South-West Side Story: The Musical”

[Taylor Swift – Love Story]

Viet Gang Leader:
Eye slits, Yellow face, driving test all mistakes,
Burnt tyres, Slam brakes, Light’s gone, car dent, Too cheap for insurance
Hit curb, pavement,
And they say, we hate indic-A-ting, colourblind to green, dreams of auto-parking, But lately
our skills seems, Slowly sinking , driving, like a GTA wet dream, and kids scream
The victims flatter than an A bust 
(Well) we drove the tanks in tian-nan-men, Reflexes like a couple gramps
And the dashboard is way too high, no sight
That’s why our kind rides bikes in the Motherland
Squints hits the lollipop man
It’s too bright outside
For Asians to drive

[Ed Sheeran – A Team]
Viet Gang Leader: We just went the vietcong on your ass
Leb Gang Leader: Pfft.. you wish. The only gym youse Asians go to is the Pokemon gym. So get in your tuk tuks and rickshaws and head back to your nail beauty salons.

<Gangs get more intimidating towards each other>

Such a pretty face, Such a pretty jaw, Such a pretty arm, Brah Come at me!

Yeah, Imma up at Punchbowl,
Now I’m down in Lakemba,
Right next to Bankstown Centro,
But grew up in Berala,
I’m as hairy as Chewbacca,
And since I made it here,
I can make it anywhere,
Yeah they love me everywhere,
I used to wag in Auburn,
Which is why I don’t know how to spell
But I make some mean falafel,
Brought me back to that McDonalds,
Took it to my kebab shop,
Adidas on my feet,
Catch me in my rexi, in my trackies by Fubu,
Cruising down George street,
in my subaru,
Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from…
Lebanon
Centrelink is where I get my money, oh
but I also work as a bouncer....
