Idiot's Convention

Sunday, October 3

Mocktion™ No. 4!

(isn't she pretty?)
Name: Jing Wang
D.O.B.: 21/03/86
Eye colour: Brown
Hair colour: Black

Height: 155cm I think...but could be 156cm for all we know
Likes: MUSIC!!!! e.g. Jeff Buckley, Led Zeppelin, the Killers, Augie March, Pearl Jam, Maroon 5, the Smiths, Franz Ferdinand, QOTSA, Nick Drake, etc etc.
Dislikes: techno and dance music. People who fake being nice. Drizzling rain (either don't rain or just bucket down please!)
Position in the army of Anna the Supreme Ruler of the Universe: lazy...something...see I'm too lazy to come up with a position even. Ok ok more seriously...the...lazy but enthusiastic soldier who's more interested in...out of the job activities...such as music...and more music...and more music...er but don't get me wrong. I'd contribute to the cause. Just in a way that's not so obviously contributing. Am I making any sense? ok I'll move on.

A: There are three birds in a room. One is eating grain, one is dancing the 'Can-Can', and one is flying. Which is the real bird and why?
J: The one dancing the 'Can-Can' of course! It's the only REAL bird cos it appreciates good music as all good birdies ought to.

A:What is the best birthday present that you've ever received?
J: I recieved the best present ever tonight called "a sonnet to jing". VERY belated, but... great present. [EDIT: 14/10/04 1:17AM]

A: What are you most afraid of?
J: DEATH!!! No no seriously um...dying alone? Or losing a loved one suddenly.

A: If you had a pet, what would you want it to be? And what would you call it?
J: It would be a talking frog named Herbet...don't ask.

A: Is farming fun?
J: Hmmm...what sort of farming? Would it involve killing? If so...NO. If not...still no.

A: Which do you prefer: A guy who does the whole pulling-out-the-chair-and-paying-for-stuff thing, or a guy who is more into equality?
J:First one. Cos: 1. I'm seriously broke and 2. It's...nice. But I mean if I wasn't so pathetically broke or if the guy wasn't so well off himself I'm all for equality.

A:Would you serenade someone in public, or like to be serenaded?
J: Um...I'd definitely LIKE to be serenaded :). As for serendading someone else in public, it's a possibility if I could see the necessity there.

A: What is your favourite movie?
J:At the moment I'd have to say...Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Almost Famous.

A: What do you think about pancakes?
J: I'm quite impartial when it comes to pancakes. I mean they're good...but not...THAT good.

A: What type of plastic surgery would you get if you woke up and found
you looked like John Howard?
J: THE WHOLE DEAL!!!! JESUS!!! NOOOOOO!!!!

Silly me. If you want to know more about Jing, why not check out her blog: http://theadventuresofjingles.blogspot.com/ ?




Completely unrelated: it's niichan's birthday today! Happy 18th birthday, Ricky-nii!
(I know that niichan is older brother, and that I'm older than him, but he didn't want to be my otouto.)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 6:13 pm, October 03, 2004  

  • $1100? Bah!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 6:16 pm, October 03, 2004  

  • $5001. ha. i win.

  • Wayland man. women deprecciates over time....:P

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 6:24 pm, October 03, 2004  

  • Awww...having 2 guys fight it out over you. So violent and unnecessary and yet so adorable and sweet. *loveheart*

    By Blogger Unknown, at 4:30 pm, October 04, 2004  

  • Jing is worth so much more than that!!! Hey Lewis!

    By Blogger Fodder, at 10:34 pm, October 04, 2004  

  • Ah but if everyone else is too CHICKEN (or lazy) to bid I'll be getting her for a RIGHT OLD BARGAIN! Yay!

    Now back to studying...


    P.S. What do we get for "winning" this lovely young lady?

    P.P.S. Yes, really off to study now...

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:54 pm, October 04, 2004  

  • Niichan said that he bids, "12 dollars worth of candy, also a dinosaur".

    By Blogger Fodder, at 11:20 pm, October 04, 2004  

  • yeah wayland, looks like you'll be getting me for a real bargain!
    anyhow, YES Anna! i remember bennett from primary school!! why who could forget him? we even had a little er..."catch-phrase" for him:
    "bennett is ben!" ("ben" as in well, stupid in chinese but um...u're not really bennett if u're reading this...)
    ok happy bidding to all (read: PLEASE SOMEONE ACTUALLY BID FOR ME...aside from Wayland!)

    By Blogger JingleBells, at 7:21 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • A dinosaur? That's kind of hard to compete with...hm...this is a real toughie...

    Do you mean one that has somehow survived all this time through the ages, one that you somehow created in a lab and raised to maturity, or perhaps one of those plastic ones that came in many, many issues of some magazine...which was cheap for the first few editions and then really expensive as you got more addicted...but I digress.

    Anyway...how about...primordial slime? Full of evolutionary goodness in every can!

    Oh, and plus $6000 (got to raise it some time...)

    By Blogger Wayland, at 8:02 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • Niichan said that he's bidding a teenage mutant ninja turtle: Donatello!

    I think Jing is getting a bit weirded out...

    But I'm curious to see what Wayland will bid now.

    By Blogger Fodder, at 10:11 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • But can Donatello compete with Master Splinter (who, for those, like me, tend to be slow at times, I am going to bid)?

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:26 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • I've been thinking and...

    I bid Jeff Buckley's guitar!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:38 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • Oh, and on top of that I add Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece "Starry Night".

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:44 pm, October 05, 2004  

  • I got lost after the last few comments ..
    what the hell are you guys bidding ..
    hrmm yeh anyway ..
    my bid: $7000 & i'll shout her dinner =)
    i think i'm gonna win another bid .. rofl

    J.D

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:53 pm, October 07, 2004  

  • Niichan says: there is nothing in my room to inspire inspiration for a silly bid so to beat splinter i will be lame and just say an optimus prime which is unbeatable=o

    also a uhh pocketmonkey which is something i just made up

    [I don't know if that beats the last bid :S]

    By Blogger Fodder, at 12:01 am, October 08, 2004  

  • Hm...interesting bids there. Haha you know what, funny thing...I was going to bid Optimus Prime instead of Master Splinter.

    Okay, here goes with the new bid (in addition to the other stuff I've bid):

    $10 000, organise a private screening of "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Almost Famous", plus dinner, and to top it all off Wolverine (and Jubilee to take care of Optimus Prime)!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 12:38 am, October 08, 2004  

  • Hrmm how can i compete with a private screening of 2 movies, $10,000 and dinner too.
    Aaahh gone into deap thought .................

    $15,000, i'll come pick you up (in my brand new BMW), take you to dinner (anything you want, i'll buy), i'll organise either a Pearl Jam or Maroon 5 private concert, after party with either one of those groups, BOTH if you want, i'll create a new bank account and deposit in a few billion dollars, for a spending spree.
    Since i'm a multi-multi-googolplexillionaire, i'll just pay for anything you wish for ey!?
    Ooohhh might as well ... new bid: $20,000

  • hey princess jinglebells
    hmm wat can i bid....I know, i will write u a book of my special poems. u will feel so special, u will be in ecstasy.

    eg... jing u r beautiful,
    even with your mouth full
    that special touch of paradise
    in u that attracts all the hansome guys (like me)

    THERE. my little appetizer that will leave u in state of wanting more and more and more.

    secondly, i will give you your most wanted guy in the world. we all know who this is and im the only guy who can give it to u. (since u dont really have a lot of taste, that guy is obviously not me but his name starts with w. yeps its true, im the only one who can give him to u. as u r reading this, u r getting very excited arnt u, very very excited, urging your eyes to read more and more of my bid.
    well let me tell u. there is one thing in the world better than this guy who i am alredy gonna give to u....(if u had some taste, that 1 ting would be me...but since u dont) that one thing in the world is.....

    ...its a mystery. as u can see, i am not even bidding any money. bcos i know that this mystery, u dearly want to find out. and only if i win this bid will i tell u what this mystery is....heres a little clue

    this little thing we all do desire
    its the most precious in all history
    money,love we dont require
    if we have this little mystery
    only if i win this bid
    this mystery u will possess
    when i win, just like a lil' kid
    this secret answer i will confess

    remember: ONLY if i win this bid will u get this one little mystery u are just inklin' to possess

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:27 am, October 08, 2004  

  • btw that last LONG comment was by me :andrew
    i better win!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:28 am, October 08, 2004  

  • Ah, this will be hard to compete with, I mean with all those concerts and talk of "this guy"...will take a real effort of thought.

    Okay, I've got it. On top of everything else that has been promised (of course), I will personally collaborate with Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff and Matt to write her a full album, dedicated just for her! Yes that'll do. Haven't thought of the lyrics yet though so no sample can be given.

    With delivery of "this guy" I think I will probably be more able to do that than Andrew will.

    And, of course, the money. I will bid my "Unlimited Credit Card" for an even BIGGER shopping spree, and construct the world's biggest music library! Finally, the bid will be extended to $30000.

    By Blogger Wayland, at 3:01 pm, October 08, 2004  

  • in case u havent noticed wayland. girls (with the exception of some not mentioning any names) are not into money. your unlimited credit card is no match to my mysterious prize :D
    ok since without much clues jing doesnt really have a clue wat my mystery prize is. so to further tempt her tastebud...i mean..brainbuds??? ok i really shouldnt be doing med. anyway those things in your brain that make u think, heres a little more clues to wat my mysterious prize will be
    i once was dead but with a little assistance
    get pepared to rejoice
    i will be drawn back into existence
    with all my looks and voice

    ahem yeps. whatever wayland can offer you, or lewis for that matter, they cant offer you this can they. if u still havent worked out my mysterious prize, he starts with j
    yeah yeah im sure u know now, so consider this offer wisely :D

    andrew (hehe rememebered my name)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 6:49 pm, October 08, 2004  

  • ok im adding to my bid since jing is not convinced that my bid can top wayland's...pfft i am so offended.

    on top of all the things i have bid
    (lemme remind u: book of poems - i think i have given u plenty of appetizer's alredy, wl himself and the mysterious prize which is not so mysterious any more)
    on top of that i have 2 more things to offer
    these 2 things r related once u have figured out my 2nd puzzle. ok this is my 1st offer spoken to you by the offer himself
    "recently i recieved an urgent call from my friend andrew, sayiong that he needed help to outbid wayland. i have come personally to save him and this is wat i have to offer
    from a disney movie i have been sent
    you'll be surprised once u know
    i can offer u anything to your hearts content
    my powers to u i bestow" (G)
    my 2nd offer is a clue to wat this 1st one is gonna be
    my 2nd offer is a personal rendition of the song "wishes" by anthony callea (the song he sang at auditions. and considering how well he did the prayer, i think u'll enjoy this very much
    there. my 2 additional offers on the table, i'm sure u've figured the 1st 1 out alredy

    andrew :D

    Also, to beat niichan I bid a purple monkey dishwasher!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 2:01 am, October 09, 2004  

  • Hrmmm wth?! are you guys on about!?
    Bidding robots & purple monkeys or something WTH!? o.0
    Why cant u just make normal "money" bids.
    I content with Wayland's bids because he's actually made a "money" bid of $30,000. But andrew, if u wanna win .. starting bidding wif "money" not with some mystery guy!?!?!?!??

  • Well, maybe my "collaboration" with Pearl Jam may have been a bit unrealistic on my part (my connections don't run that deep).

    So as a consolation I have come up with the following. I will do all the song writing myself, and serenade her with it after a candlelit dinner. Also on the table are a movie, some music CDs (especially some certain Jeff Buckley ones...) and $50 000.

  • Hm...aren't they doing some Jeff Buckley thing in the UK some time in the near future?

    I will bid a trip to Europe which includes this and also in the itinerary are: France, Italy, Spain and whereever else in Europe we might feel like going to! All expenses paid of course ;).

    Plus, $60 001 (I can't afford too much else after this trip to Europe...hehe)

    By Blogger Wayland, at 3:06 pm, October 09, 2004  

  • Hrmmm trip to Europe. God Damn. Wayland beats me again!!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:20 am, October 10, 2004  

  • Wow, this is so amazing! So many bids, so many people- it must be the pic.

    Just wanting to tell everyone that the mocktion™ closes at the end of this month. That gives you plenty of time to think up something that'll really win Jing over! Though it can mean that Ben's prediction could be right and someone could random bid a water bottle, and win.

    By Blogger Fodder, at 10:23 am, October 10, 2004  

  • hmmm
    well in light of the news that the bidding is open till the end of the month
    it appears it is not too late to begin bidding
    hmmmm

    but perhaps i won't waste my time

    it appears there are too many experienced bidders in this mocktion and heres me being a first timer and all
    (at least i can't remember bidding in any of the other mocktions)
    yes yes wayland is too good
    especially if he has been able to reduce J.D. to withdrawing from the bidding
    hmmm

    oh well i like QOTSA too
    hmmm
    "Heaven smiles above me
    what a gift there below
    but no one knows

    The gift that you give to me
    no one knows"

    err stupid socks
    shouldn't let them take over like that
    maybe they think i might be good at singing

    eh if only i could sing
    well at least QOTSA make it sound good

    some of Josh Holmes side projects is good too
    Eagles of Death Metal are almost as good as QOTSA
    too bad Josh is quitting them

    hehe
    well i had my say
    good luck with the bidding guys

    oh and who gets to decide who won?
    the mocktioneer? (who i am guessing is Anna)
    or Jing? hmmm
    it appears Jing has already decided when it will be over
    hmmm

    heheh
    seesya later
    Lucky

  • Ah good thing people have run out of bids! I think I've almost exhausted my creative abilities for making good bids!

    Ah, just got to hold on for a few more weeks, then this lovely young lady is all mine! Muhahahaha!

    Ahem...

  • It seems like someone has already started showering Jing with presents!

    A:What is the best birthday present that you've ever received?
    J: I recieved the best present ever tonight called "a sonnet to jing". VERY belated, but... great present. [EDIT: 14/10/04 1:17AM]

    Come on guys, what are you doing? Someone is already close to winning Jing's heart (yeah, we can guess who it is).

    By Blogger Fodder, at 1:24 am, October 14, 2004  

  • Ah, a sonnet, those are hard to write, so I hear. Hm...wonder who wrote it...could it be "this guy" we've been hearing so much about?

    Mysterious...And how will we ever top this single gesture that has been dubbed her "best birthday present ever" in her whole 18 year life?

    Argh...

    By Blogger Wayland, at 1:43 am, October 16, 2004  

  • Oooh great. How am i supposed to go against a damn sonnet. That just makes my gifts seem like .. nothing.
    Aaargh gonna go into deap thinking. Must do something to beat a sonnet. Even though i know i wonr beat it anyway. Hrmm upping the ante again. $70,500 + everything that i've said before. =)
    JD

    ... i might lose this time round ... =(

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 10:51 pm, October 16, 2004  

  • Hope you're not giving up JD...I know I'll go down kicking and biting! Yeah! Hoo-ah!

    Anyway...$71 000 and all that other stuff...plus others as I think of them!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 1:15 am, October 17, 2004  

  • Wayland, you're like Apu. you're making it so hard for other guys to top what you've done!

    Go JD, hang in there!!!

    By Blogger Fodder, at 9:38 pm, October 17, 2004  

  • Ah yes, the seven surprises of Valentine...hope no one tries to "take care" of me like Homer and the gang tried to do to Apu...although that wasn't very successful. Well, let's hope that if anyone does come after me...they'll be as incompetent as the combined stupidity of Homer, Moe, Wiggum and Hibbert (but him less so...)!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 10:59 pm, October 17, 2004  

  • Wow! This Mocktion is doing pretty damn well! Good stuff guys (and girls...) and keep it up!
    ANYWAY, this is just a little note of encouragement.

    BID BID BID! BUY BUY BUY! GIVE GIVE GIVE! (yeah I'm sooo persuasive I know)

    Well...as Anna and Wayland have said before me, don't give up JD! I AM getting YOU something after all!

    OK, so basically thanks for all the bids so far guys and MAKE MORE MORE MORE! (So what if some guy wrote me a sonnet? So what if that sonnet was the best present I've EVER recieved in my ENTIRE life? I'm sure one of you'll be able to outdo it...er...yes)

    By Blogger JingleBells, at 5:46 pm, October 18, 2004  

  • Hm...sonnet hey...hard to beat.

    How about this, don't know how much it'll do, but here goes!

    I bid myself! Wrapped and delivered to your doorstep and ready to attend to your every whim i.e. be your slave for a day...or more depending on how the first day goes ;)...And of course add to this all that other stuff i.e. the $71,000, movie, dinner, trip to Europe etc.

  • Ah, sorry Johnny, will remember to address you by your name next time ;).

    Anyway, not making a bid yet...have to think as well...as the challenger, I have to make my mark ;). Can't let you have a three-peat!

    Well on second thoughts, I'll raise the bar to $75,000 and add to that my other bids! Whoa, this is getting to be expensive...what if I suffocate? Ah well, just a small price to be paid I suppose...

    Oh, by the way...from the ashes of my old blog rises the phoenix of a renewed and fresh blogging experience! Yes, check it out now at http://waylandwang.blogspot.com! Go, now, go!

  • Hmmm...if we go by the exchange rates put out by ANZ for October 22 (84.01645 vatu buys 1 AUD...pretty pathetic...), your bid of 10000 vatu is worth not even $120AUD.

    So bad luck Yt, I believe you're out of the game!

    By Blogger JingleBells, at 11:25 pm, October 22, 2004  

  • Status: In deep thinking.. still .. lol =P

    Hrmm 10,000 Vatu .. thats probably around .. $120?
    Yeh sounds about right. =)
    The previous bid was ... $75,000 AUS dollars.
    $120 ~ compared with $75,000 .. big difference lol

    Trying to go broke: new bid; $80,000 + everything stated previously.
    Contemplating whether to just give the win to Wayland. He's been such a good competitor. I gota lose sometime.
    Hrmmmm nah. =P

    Johnny.

  • Haha, nice thought there Johnny, but I don't want you to just give me the win. Got to make it worth it! You've been a real tough competitor too, really had me thinking a few times, and seeing as I know Jing better than you that's pretty good!

    Anyway, new bid: $100,000 (might as well make it a nicely rounded number...I'm just a bit fussy) plus all that other stuff I've mentioned. On top of that...I will...er...increase the time I'm Jing's slave from a day to two days! That'll do for now...

  • Status: forcing brain to think faster ...
    Hrmmm; new bid: $110,000 + everything stated previously.
    This is like going down to the wire; only a few days left.
    Aahhhhh hrmm if i win this, it'll mean that i've won 3 in a row, i'll be going broke, and it'll be a great pressie for me, hanging out with possibly 3 ladies.
    1-Tasha; 2-Anna; 3-Jing
    *cough* oh btw, its my bday on the 27th *cough*
    Aaaargh Wayland, keep it going; this battle aint over till its over!!

    Johnny.

    ps.
    Anna are there actual prizes to these auctions; or are we gonna keep it strictly fictional? LoL. If there is gonna be some sorta outing or something; i'd be up for it. If strictly fictional, Great FUN =] !!

  • Hm...I'm still thinking of new bids as well.

    But here goes.

    New bid: $120,000 and a trip to Singapore added on to that trip to Europe! Plus all the other stuff! Oh, and perhaps a new sonnet?

    Oh, and I'll remember to wish you a happy birthday Johnny. Damn I bet you're saving your best bid for 11:59 on the 31st of October. Hehe...damn...must think...Not long to go now...I hope there is an actual "prize" for this mocktion :D.

    By Blogger Wayland, at 4:08 pm, October 24, 2004  

  • Hey guys, not sure if Anna's got a "prize" lined up for those other auctions but I'd be happy to oblige to say...a dinner on me?
    That is, provided that the winner pays up his end of the bargain...i.e. over $120000 in cash and various other things...lol, jk jk!
    Now, might I look forward to a new and better (hopefully) sonnet from you Wayland?? Well...keep bidding Johnny so Wayland HAS to write it!

    By Blogger JingleBells, at 4:28 pm, October 24, 2004  

  • Oh, hope I'm not too early, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!

    Hehe, there...I promised I would and I have delivered.

    No bid this time, also in deep thought.

    By Blogger Wayland, at 12:02 am, October 27, 2004  

  • Oh HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!
    Now that you're older and wiser you're bidding will surely improve yes? Not that it wasn't great before, just that now it'll be BETTER...therefore giving Wayland more of a challenge!
    OK, enjoy the day!

    By Blogger JingleBells, at 12:10 am, October 27, 2004  

  • Wow the 31st! Last day of bidding...really getting down to the wire...now where did I put those ideas I had...

  • Here it is everyone, my final bid. The crowning touch. The winning (hopefully) goal just before the whistle.

    To be added to the table:

    1. An all expenses paid trip to China with a side-stop in Singapore. Included in the itinerary is sight seeing both in Singapore and China plus all the best food in however large quantities we can handle! Yay!

    2. A new sonnet! One that should match the previous one (writing in progress)

    3. All the previous bids.

    Oh, and $1,000,000,000. She looks a millions dollars and is worth a billion! So this is only fair!

    By Blogger Wayland, at 11:58 pm, October 31, 2004  

  • Everything i said before
    + $1,000,000,000,000,000

    Bidding closed. All bids after this don't count!

  • kawaii =)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 12:01 am, November 01, 2004  

  • Since 12AM is technically Monday, we've decided that Wayland is the last bidder, and hence, the winnder! Congratulations! :D Have to say though, Johnny made a good competitor, just faced with minor technical difficulties at the last minute!

    Jing has nicely offered to treat both Wayland and Johhny to dinner, but we'll have to wait to see what happens to that. We'll probably be able to read about it on thier blogs.
