schedules and tumeric

this is like due for a few weeks.  mr barney had mentioned about making origami frogs and i finally found a site that acts as a refresher.  my godma used to fold it for me when i was a little girl.  

HOW TO MAKE A JUMPING FROG

and professor spoke to me about making origami roses and i happened to chance upon this while searching for the frog.  not sure if she's talking about this.

Things are getting quite jammed packed and i wrote out my schedule on sunday because i actually forgot about the 5th world meeting as i was too engaged in Raisa's party.  

Today was meant for work and gallery visiting -after work take yellow bunny to the furor space before the exhibition ends, then to school to check out the ISEA exhibits, then to Fancy Papers to get the required covers for xmas/bday/xmas presents for my old and new friends i met at the party. 

however, i don't have work because they didn't need extra help as the kids are still on summer holiday and only a few were coming. And wanita who smsed the gallery's owner told us that if we wanted to visit, we would have to ask ellephante to open the door for us from 10.30am to 2.30pm(which is too early) or wait for wanita to end work and meet us at 8 plus(which is too late). therefore meeting with yellow bunny is cancelled.  Raisa and Aurora needed some space- raisa had to meet uni friends and aurora wanted time with her fiance so i cant crash their houses. So now i'll have to leave the soon to get papers. Have to finish biding about 12 books or more by tonight to get all geared up to meet them again tml.  

was watching rachael ray's talkshow and she said to sprinkle a little tumeric into your food to relieve muscle ache- how appropriate for mr barney.
