the foolish knight

Otherwise known as the Ekka, this exhibition is held for 10 days each August to celebrate agriculture. I’ve always wanted to see some animals since I came here to Brisbane so I headed down to the Ekka with John, Michelle and her parents last Monday. It’s times like these I wish I had a real camera instead of my phone camera.

Some sweet rides

They painted the scream on a cow’s ass

mmmm … cotton candy … mmmm

tall white creepy men on stilts

this pig was so huge ! like 5 feet long ! hmmm .. bacon

hmmm … duckies

I never knew what is an alpaca. Now I know it’s like a miniature llama.

A farmer and his dog

 The dog was quite amazing. The farmer would say “go fetch the black chicken” and the dog would do just that ! Then the farmer said “now go get the white one. No , not the big one, the small one … ” and the dog would get the small white chicken ! That was pretty cool in my opinion.

Well, if I had a better camera I would have posted pictures of the amusement park, showbags, chariot races, rodeo, motorbike stunts and awesome firework display. But I don’t

All in all, it was a really awesome event and I can’t wait for the riverside festival next month. Hope I can take better pictures next time !

come dance closer …

I’ve rewritten the about page to look like a wikipedia entry ! Well I’ll just copy and paste what’s on the about page here :

This is the official theme song for the Life and Times of Jason Phoon. Otherwise known as:

Some of you might have heard the song, some of you may not. Anyways, you’re free to download it and use it for your ring tone or whatever. Just don’t blame me if it gets stuck in your head.

This piece was recorded live in my bedroom with a ukulele, hence the title. You could tell that I was very creative in the naming of the song. Also, the ukulele costs 10 bucks and the microphone cost 10 bucks so it’s a very cheap recording.

It’s still quite catchy though.
