So Where have I Been?

It's not a secret but I thought it was time I told every one the truth. It is a fact that there are some things about me some people may not know. *Cue spotlight*
I am...
Chinese! Shock horror!! And all the malarky!
So I've been away, simply because I've not been able to see anything, my eyes are too small, literally; can not even have contact lenses cos they're so small.
So anyway, I've had surgery to get them BIGGER!!! For free!! Yay!
Just kidding!
It wasn't to get my eyes bigger, that is just a side effect from the surgery. The thing is I have in-growing eyelashes, sciencey name : trichiasis.
This is where my eyelashes grow in the wrong direction and into my eye. Lucky for me, my hairs are so fine that they only cause irritation but with it means over time it would damage my eye soooo...


...Doc said I gotta have surgery. I actually never knew about it until I tried to get contact lenses where they not only said my eyes were too small and have to get them resized costing me around £33 for a single pair that were monthly ones that could only been worn upto 4 times... not really worth it ¬_¬"
That's when they noticed the streaks on my eye when they did the drip test. Next thing you know I'm in the hospital being told I have an extra row of eyelashes, sciencey name: "distichiasis".
So after about a year of waiting because the doctor who saw me wasn't sure how to do the surgery and having issues because of something to do with the skin at the corner of my eye being folded over more than normal people... What the hell is wrong with my face?!!
So I have too much skin around my eyes and also an extra layer of eyelashes, man my face has issues.


But I really wasn't too put off, the surgery is essentially something done by many Asian actors, pop stars and other people who want western eyes and since I actually had a proper reason for getting it done I didn't feel so vain... not saying I wasn't intrigued by the idea. Let's face it, if you had the chance to get something done for something you wanted done...well you would, wouldn't you?


But I will be annoyed if after this surgery; my eyes still irritated me ¬_¬"


So anyway, I have had my eyes under patches for a few days and now had them off for 3 days and I can honestly say.... I'm out of pain killers and they itch like hell, sting like hell and irritate me even more than the eyelashes did.
This better be worth it ¬_¬"
I will post a picture once it's all healed up and you'll be able to see the difference, if any.
Ta-ra!

Hmm... Hello, I'm Back!!!

Well it's been waaaay too long since I put something up but here it is :)

Been watching some interesting stuff on youtube and believe me when I say, there are some really good things out there to watch and some things that just make you think... W.... T....F....

Excuse the abbrev. Anyway, it's similar to watching Britain's Got Talent or Pop Idol when it is in the preliminary stages. The acts are terrible and then a real gem comes out of the shit that comes out the cow.

Also! They do TV Shows!! My god I had to revisit my childhood favourites! DragonballZ! Jackie Chan Adventures! Gundam Wing! And visit new ones like... Cannot actually think of any.

BUT new shows that have come to the screen that I highly recommend!

New Show in the UK!

2 Broke Girls, 2 American girls working as waitresses in a town cafe, one was rich, one was and isn't. Was-A-Rich-Girl played by Beth Behrs is a surprise character from an American show, showing a character that is a lot more down to earth and not such a blonde airhead. That alone pulled me into watching this show.

The Brunette Max Black played by Kat Dennings is a realist, in your face, hard-working character with a fiery-side that makes you appreciate her role in the show as they really do bounce off each other very well.

Now the show really isn't for kids. It's a bit like a ruder version of friends for those that don't know any other TV show. The show has a nice click to it with the girls trying to raise money to sell cupcakes and each episode essentially is another day seeing them trying to gain funds in the most hilarious ways.

Watch it on E4 or 4oD :)

Just a little summary, I'll let you watch it and decide what to think.

Anyway, the reason I've been out is because I've moved to a new home! Yaaaaaay!!!

Literally just got the internet about 4 hours ago. Been a difficult time, having spent some time in Scotland, Edinburgh, that was fun. Spent most of the time painting. Had a little trip back to uni to see some friends :) that was awesome :)

And... now here I am in my new humble abode!

Internet is terrible and the o2 signal for my mobile internet in this entire area is terrible. However the mobile signal is fine so all is well! :)

I will disclose my location via sign language....

Did you get that? Good :D

Tsonga!!

I thrilling match between Tsonga and Djokovic, an absolutely brilliant game with a poor finish, personally.

Tsonga at the Roland Garros French Open 2012, 2-1 up with a breakpoint and he loses his cool to give the point away.

Djokovic showed why he is the world number one by playing some masterful tennis with showing the weakness in Tsonga's game. However he was in a tight spot having almost lost the match at several points in the game.

However Tsonga was losing out to Djokovic's serves that played it wide to his back hand and hitting it wider on to his forehand which Tsonga ended up playing the ball high in the sky allowing Djokovic to smash the ball wherever he pleased.

It almost looked as if Djokovic fell asleep in the second and third.

Tsonga lost confidence in some rallies and maybe a little concentration after losing those match points in the fourth set.

Absolute disappointment on Tsongas face as he lost the match when he was so close to beating the world number one and moving on to the semi-finals was just upsetting... oh well!

Federer also played today against Del Potro having lost the first 2 sets but to come back with a 6-2 & 6-0.  With the final set, Del Potro really fights back but Federer's Aces give the Austrian a lift to win the final set with a 6-3 finish.

Oh the Jubilee! You cannot skip this! Ok amazing! though I have to say the performances yesterday weren't great but the heart and passion was burning through and what a lovely duet from Gary and Cheryl (she finally dropped the Cole if you didn't know, so don't call her Cheryl Cole... she won't reply).

Elton John, Stevie Wonders, absolutely brilliant classic people.

And today with the flight of the planes over Buckingham Palace, what a show! Makes you proud to have a Monarchy and be British and see such a performance. But what stood out was the choir singing on the boats with the Orchestra in the pouring rain and still singing their hearts out. It was respectable and admirable with real passion in their performance and their Singing in the Rain was so full of irony it was beautiful.

Films

Ok I'm going to just stretch myself out to talk about films in the making. As everyone who watched the little bits at the end in Captain America, The Hulk, Ironman/2 and Thor... We were given the clues that Avengers was going to happen. Also with the cameo of Agent Coulson in each film and Nick Fury. It kind of gave it away too. However not many people in England read comics, though with the rise of Marvel comic hero films, you know they have really been more in demand.

But Avengers 2 is not to be on screen until Captain America 2, Ironman 3 and possibly Thor 2.

Ironman was a definite favourite for me but The Hulk really stole the show at the end of the film with some hilarious stunts. Not too impressed either with the England releases, they never showed the Shawarma scene.

Madagascar 3 - Europe's Most Wanted

Madagascar was a brilliant film! It was different to the other animation films out there. I love how they've done the film so a new film could be added easily and making each film a stand alone film in themselves.

This one sees them going through Europe and trying to get back to their home in the Big Apple! Starring the lovely cast that has continuously made you laugh throughout all the Madagascar films, Ben Stiller (Alex the Lion), Jada Pinkett Smith (Gloria the Hippo), David Schwimmer (Melman the Giraffe), Chris Rock (Marty the Zebra)and Sacha Baron Cohen (King Julien!).

The Expendables 2

Would it be sexist to say it is the manliest film of all time. The first was badass, with a hardcore cast of Stallone, Lundgren, Li, Stathom, Terry and that other guy... Couture... With cameos made by Schwarzenegger and Willis. And man was it an awesome film, filled with fight scenes, explosions, explosions, more fight scenes and most importantly... no cheesy ending with some chick. Just pure awesomeness...

And now!! The same cast, which now now includes Schwarzenegger having a proper role, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis and Jean Claude Van Damme....

this awesomeness... will blow your mind....

If this isn't a more manly film than anything, then there is no such thing as a man.

The Magic of Belle Isle - Morgan Freeman is back with a Gem.

If you've ever seen The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson, then you will love this film. From the makers of said film comes a movie that will once again move you with what seems to be a stunning performance once again from Mr Freeman. He plays an alcoholic writer who hits the wall and takes to a small lakeside cabin to try and grasp some kind of inspiration. How he gets it will be a journey to experience.

I can only speculate from the teaser trailers but I can comfortably say it should be amazing as with any Freeman performances.

Anyway, for a first one back that will be all.

Hope you have a nice day!

This has been an Andy production and I'm signing out!
