This got sent halfway through my second lecture today, and I found it rather hilarious when I read it:
oh my gosh i nearly died! went 2matilda bay n this gigantic (ok mayb nt bt it ws big) black swan bird thing tried 2eat my chips n ws followin me then it swam away. i'm gonna write a book followin my near bird-induced death called 'wen swans attack-by a survivor' k i'm done
*hee hee*
I reckon I may have passed out from lack of air directly after that. Not because it was such an exciting episode, but just because of the lack of punctuation and endless translations from sms english to normal english being done in my head.
I will now do a sequel to the book and call it ‘When Breathlessness Attacks – attempting to master the SMS’.
For non-UWA students: UWA is situated on a piece of land that has these massive black swans roaming around the campus, along with ducks and the one random peacock and the three peahens. The black swan, in fact, features on the emblem of UWA.
Matilda Bay is one of the cleanest bodies of water I’ve ever seen [I come from Malaysia – expect nothing less] and is a really great place to just sit and relax and study is you really need a quiet moment. Because of this, people like to go sit there and eat. Hence it attracts all kinds of crazy birds who are just about as well fed as the pigeons at St Stithians College.
So *Monzi getting attacked by one of these swans was probably no big surprise. HIs over dramatisation of her encounter with one of these increasingly violent err…highly ferocious animals however, is. ;D
On a less dramatic note – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEE DAWG!

* UPDATE* - 25 March 2009
I was sitting outside Matilda Bay [without food] and a dolphin leapt out of the water. I only regret not doing my usual happy snaps at that time, because the picnic-ers would've looked at me really weirdly. But it is officially my favourite haunt in all of Perth. :P Need to find me? Most likely in class, on the bus or sitting at Matilda Bay...just watching. =)
