sleep thirsty

I can't wait till we move out of here.
My room is directly under the kitchen and the person who built this house had no sense to make the floors stronger and thicker.
So I hear everything that goes on upstairs.
Every cupboard that opens
Every step taken
Every word people say.
Every knife they are trying to sharpen. (YES it is that thin.)
Compared to this, my noisy fat neighbours are nothing.
I thought by leaving Spore I would finally get some sleep
but NO.
I was put in an even worse rat hole.
Even the dog gets better sleep than I do.
Joy thought I was exaggerating till she came over for a day to study...
Even earplugs dont work anymore.
MUST get a new place soon.

Everything is amazing, nobody's happy.

I managed to do a bit of my assignment today which makes me mighty happy.
Tuesday is official pizza day.
Dominos has the best pie crust pizza.
its awesome.
and tuesday, one large pizza is less than 6 bucks.
totally worth it.
can't wait!

WORK IT!

I found out some fact that made me REALLY happy today :):)
I really need to start doing work.
I keep telling myself I can slack a bit but NO.
I have 4 more assignments to work on and an upcoming exam.
but every night I just spend my time watching crime tv series and ANTM (I BLAME YOU DEBS!)
hahaha..
The setting goals thing that has worked for the past __ years of my life is failing (I refused to type a number in cause I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS ALREADY BEEN __YEARS!!)
but I do have to get some work done...
at least finish one assignment this week...
if not May is just going to be mad crazy rush
Winnie from unicell asked me if I put on weight.
and I was like: GASP!
and she was like: yeah. just checking.
I'm like: YOU DO NOT CHECK SUCH THINGS.
sheet.
oh well.
part and parcel of eating kangaroos I guess.
there must be some way to get me to study.
STUDY STUDY STUDY.
I just cut and pasted two paragraphs from my ethics approval form into my thesis synopsis thingy...
and I feel like I have been studying for the whole day even though I havent at all.
I'm so lazy now adays I want to kick myself.
I need a hair cut.
I always do when I feel stressed out.
Why is it i can blog and type so much but I can't even type a paragraph in my assignment document??
oh yes. cause I DONT NEED REFERENCES FOR ALL MY CLAIMS.
I can say stuff like Water makes you fat.
and I get away with it.
btw, it doesn't.

Loser Day

Bad tummy ache in the morning
Did laundry right next to a HUGE (and I really mean HUGE) spider web
had a really oily spring roll that wasn't really a spring roll cause it didnt have the popiah filling. It had chicken instead.
Lydia's com crashed
Car overheated on the way back from the service center
something in the front of the car came loose and it sounded like the wheel was falling out
Couldn't get a cab
The bus was WAY crowded and WAY too slow
Half an hour late for work
Diarrhea 2 mins before reporting to work
too many things to do, too few hands and feet
blister on my feet
Diarrhea 2 mins after knocking off work
showered in water that was too hot
Diarrhea 2 more times.

What an exciting 'Loser Day'.

fat by proxy

I came home today smelling like the thai restaurant's kitchen.
if I walk backwards, I swear I smell the green chicken curry.

I feel so proud of myself today cause not only did I get my first paycheck from the thai restaurant, I also found out how to stop annoying flash ads from loading and taking up my bandwidth.
PRO RIGHT.
yes.
I know.
Today was a total waste of time (other than the facts stated above) cause I didnt get much school work done.
I did however get to work.
and hence get to workout.

I was thinking today about how most waitresses are pretty skinny.
They have to move around alot and are constantly on their feet..
Which probably is why.
However, there are also those who are fat.
like the cooks...
most cooks seem to be fat..
My uncle told me this apparently existent phenomenon that people can get fat BY PROXY.
yes.
which probably explains why the girl who does the deep frying in the kitchen is triple my size.
It is quite sad if you think about it..
cause these people who get fat by proxy don't do it intentionally.
they didn't eat a whole lot of fat food (though it probably is because she takes the excess fried batter that is the best part of any fried thing)
and if you think about it...
some one has to get fat then...
if not, who's going to fry the spring rolls??

I've had a spring roll craving for the longest time.

HAPPY 76th BIRTHDAY MAMA!

It's mama's big day today
had a really busy day...
went to school with Lyd, camped in the duhig lib for an hour plus, waiting for her to finish lectures
then we went to Indroo to get mama's present..
spent a good hour and a half getting the present and walking around looking at stuff..
it's fun to be out when you have a sister :)
It's like having a girl friend that HAS to like you.
we looked at some house stuff which made us SUPER excited about moving out
I can't wait to get our own apartment and to decorate my room!!

did a bit of studying today... managed to go through all the lectures up till this week's.
had a HUGE dinner,
took pictures
decided I really need some form of activity to make my face smaller
somehow fat shows first in my face
If only I had a prominent chin then it wont be so obvious.
I wish I could go for body combat (DEBS! I MISS OUR GYM SESSIONS!)

Matt got me started on watching the tv series 'the mentalist'.
I love it!
even though its as unrealistic as Criminal minds, it is ENTERTAINING.
I watched Criminal minds with JoyLow once and she said 'SO UNREALISTIC' and 'RUBBISH' like a million times.
hahaha...
tts what happens when you know too much about how psychology works
though I don't think about how unrealistic it is when I watch.

I realise I mumble too much.
I need to speak clearer.

complain complain complain.

I have an exam in 2 weeks.
I am unprepared and worried.
I know its 2 weeks.
I don't know why I'm worrying so early.

Pizza here is really cheap.
8 bucks for a large.
which feeds up to 3 ppl.
choobs and I finished one on our own.
together with a large packet of fries from KFC.
fries here use chicken salt
which is msg laden but very yummy.
cheap food often means fat food.

fat food = fat butt = cannot fit into jeans.

I'm so tired of me complaining.
WHERE IS THE FUN I'M SUPPOSE TO HAVE IN AUSTRALIA!

walk away the pounds

Today, I couldn't button my jeans.
I have to learn to eat less ice cream and cookies and take more walks..
and life moves on.

I look around turn the radio down

I need a nice tropical beach
A huge sun hat I dont look stupid in
A pair of sunglasses that wont leave a gross sunglass tan
A cool glass of sickly sweet mocktail that gets better toward the end as the ice melts
Scorching sun with no fear of a big Ozone hole above the country
a big non-slobbery non-fish breath dog lying next to me
A copy of the latest gossip or fashion magazine
and a great girl friend or two to talk trash with.

Have some fat. Have a kit kat.

'Mid sem break' has just turned into 'get fat break'.
I'm serious.
All this staying in bed and munching on some snack while flipping through slides and watching shows is making me lethargic and fat.
Yesterday we went to gold coast and I ate a whole lot of fat.
chips, soda, fried calamari, ice cream..
but I did have fun.
feeding goats and sheep and cows and guinea pigs
looking for fudge and trying all the 'adult' fudges
wine tasting
But this mid sem break thing as always, isnt so much of a break.
There is a thesis to be written, 4 other assignments to consider, an upcoming stats exam to study for...
Australia isn't as diff as spore in terms of academia.
I guess the first 3 years of study can be more relaxing..
seeing my sister and her friends zoom off to Goldcoast for 3 days without a worry makes me envious.
But 4th year is just as stressful anywhere.
Except I can take a day trip to somewhere other than brisbane
and then tell ppl I have traveled out of the city.
And of course its a nice change from orchard road and city hall and bugis..
I am wishing the weeks to pass faster but it just seems to DRAG ON.
7 more weeks and I'll be a little more destressed...
however, its only 5 more weeks till I become majorly stressed seeing that 3 of my deadlines fall in the 6th week.
I refuse to be homesick and go all sentimental.
I shall study stats.

Curry Naan heaven

so yesterday I went to choob's place to 'study'.
I ended up sleeping on the couch.
Soon after... we went to meet Lydia for........ CURRY!
yes.
It was a SPLURGE.
but a GREAT WORTH IT splurge.
we asked for the spiciest possible and ate till our lips were swollen.
but it was GOOOOOOD.
they messed up our order quite a bit cause the waitress mistook our orders for something else..
but it was still really satisfying.
it would be great if I had pictures but no.
my battery charger is spoilt.
so I cant use my camera :(
OH WELL.
GOLD COAST TMW!

GREAT FRIDAY

guess what GUESS WHAT!
EASTER BREAK IS HERE!
guess what GUESS WHAT!
MIDTERM BREAK IS ALSO HERE!!
:) :)
not that it makes much of a difference for me.
I have a thesis to keep on doing (my supervisor has no mid term holidays)
AND I have a whole lot of readings to catch up on.
AND I have a stats exam to study for..
BUT WHO CARES.
I dont have to go to school..
I can just stay at home and study.
WHICH IS FAB since going to school involves long LONG bus rides and walks.
SO ANYWAY,
I am planning to go to DFO tmw cause I really need winter stuff and some sort of shopping.
CAN YOU BELIEVE that I haven't shopped since Leah left??
tts like... almost a month!!
ok. that's not really that long.
WHY does it seem like eternity.

It's GREAT friday today cause alot of wonderful things happened today.
Many people are happier :)
I'm going to get my proper internet back in 3 days.
THE COUNT DOWN BEGINS.
but just so I dont get TOO caught up counting down,
I have DFO tmw with Joy Low and some sort of a road trip to somewhere on sunday.
Hopefully I'll be too packed to think about the internet.

even though I have said once that How I met your mother is totally not a nice show to watch, I spent the past few days zooming through the first 3 SEASONS.
YES, debs. I know what you are thinking.
It isnt that bad after all.
I'm dying to know who the woman is.
though I have a feeling she's a bit like gossip girl..
that's a secret I'll never tell...
ARGH.
why did I even start watching?
oh. yes.
the STUPID HOUSEMATE WHO SUCKED UP MY INTERNET.
oh well.

I typed all of that in under 10 minutes.
yes.
I blab.

Fun facts of the day

1. The temperature dropped like overnight and now its like the low 20s in the day.
which is AWESOME.
2. I realised today that because of the limited bandwidth thing in australia, I have to limit my visits to blogs such as Debs cause it sucks up alot of my bandwidth just loading the MANY MANY MANY pictures she has.
3.I'm not complaining.
4. I love pictures.
5. If only I can figure out WHY my camera battery isn't working!!
6. argh.
7. I need to get photo printer ink which apparently isnt sold here. pfft.
8. I CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY.
9. Lyd and I are going to toowong to see an estate agent.
10. OUT OF THIS POT HOLE WE WILL MOVE. :)
11. Last night, I had the hugest slice of cake that had a huge HUGE dallop of cream and custurd and hill of marshmallows on top.
12. I had anothe huge slice this morning for breakfast.
13. I need to stop eating so much cake and chocolate eggs.
14. I wish ppl will stop giving me chocolate eggs.
15. I finished my paper :)

400th post.

so today I realized that the assignment I thought I finished really early is actually not done the correct way.
So I have 2 days to re-do it.
ARGH.
I can't even do it tonight cause I dont have a fast enough internet..
though I'm going to try to do as much as possible tonight so I can finish it by tomorrow.
Last night I had the worst tummy aches every and I woke up this morning to a REALLY REALLY flat tummy.
that made the tummy ache seem worth while.
I've been missing home alot lately..
It's been almost 2 months since I left spore.
Having to live without the comfort of home for almost a year is like going cold turkey.
but it should get better...
right?
I mean, it can't get any worse.

Worm Sky

for those who even noticed, I haven't been online much for one frustrating reason.
Ashley (my housemate) used up all our internet through gaming.
Eliza managed to use an average of 1+GB a day for the half of the month she was around.
So all of our 25GB is gone.
GONE!
GONE!
So now I'm at choob's place using his unlimited internet :)
Thank God for rich friends.

I'm starting to type .au behind every address I enter into the internet.
yesterday I just tried to access nus.edu.au
i have too many scars on my body from all the insect bites I've gotten from wonderful australia
no kidding.
I hope when winter comes, there will be no more insects around.

anyway, today I had a job interview for a thai restaurant and most likely will be working there i think... which is great cause I would love the extra cash.
and its nearby so getting there wont be too tough.
Went to James' place after that for dinner and board games and JoyLow got drunk.
I dont like it when ppl get drunk cause I don't know what to do.
And it gets worse when ppl fall asleep after they get drunk
cause like now, Joy's at his place and I'm not really sure if I should leave her there but I couldnt wake her up so I kinda HAD to leave her there.
oh well.
We'll find out tmw then.
I spent the time cleaning the kitchen while waiting for Lydia to come pick me up.
three boys + a girl= a messy kitchen.
I'm starting to think I'm a little of a neat freak.
Seeing all those bowls and things everywhere just made me want to clean.
I'm so tired.
I'm going to bathe and then get some shut eye.

Awesome Possum

it was RAINING like CRAZY the WHOLE of today.
but somehow rain makes me happy :)
School was particularly eventful today as we had a visit from Mr Possum.
CAAAAAAAAAN you spot the possum? heh.
He was scaring the crap out of me.
crawled all the way across the ceiling terrifying poor innocent us.
HOW did a possum get into the lecture theater!?!?!
Then we saw TWO accidents on the way back home
came home to a black out due to the storm
cooked rice TWICE and it came out as rice cakes instead of rice
I had sweet potato instead
finished dinner by 6.30pm.
and now I'm here blogging about such an exciting day.
