today, like an hour ago, i was walking from work to my car and in the middle of that joyful journey there was a roundabout.
now, i don't know why and i have no idea what the hell possessed me to do it, but i walked onto the actual roundabout.
i didn't realise the complications (and not to mention the STUPIDITY) of it until like 5 minutes later when i was just standing there watching cars going around and around and around and around.....
...then i thought "hmmm, the cars aren't going to stop.." when it hit that OMG ITS A ROUNDABOUT!! the cars give way to their right so there will be a continuous flow of cars going around meaning.... i won't be able to get out of the roundabout. -__________-
far out, seriously!
why am i so freaking stupid!!!
it was soooo embarrasing, cars were driving past and you could just see the smirks on all the drivers faces!! aaaarrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
"look at that stupid girl on the roundabout HAHAHAHAHA!"
to make matters worse i was in my uniform so people could actually place an identity to me.
oh the shame!
*sigh*
in the end laurie (work friend) saw me and stopped, honked at me, laughed, gave me a 'what-the-hell-are-you-doing' look and let me cross.
never again am i walking on to a roundabout, but i swear to god i've seen some people on a roundabout before.

depression
i am so depressed.
why?
i'll tell you why!!
depression #1
after waiting endlessly for the seasons of gilmore girls to go on special because they regularly do, i have acquired 5 out of the 6 released seasons on dvd.
i am now awaiting to buy the 2nd season and waiting for the 7th (and last) season to be released here in Australia sometime later this month.
BUT.
guess what??!?!?!?!
those fuckers have released a limited edition boxed set of the COMPLETE series of gilmore girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how could i not predict this?!?!?
of course they're going to bring out something like this! they did it for friends, charmed, sex and the city- everything! why am i so stupid!
argh, i'm so annoyed.
i think i'm going to sell off the dvds that i have on ebay and buy this boxed set.
urgh.
its so depressing.
but....
look how pretty the boxed set is!! its like a carry bag AND they have a "gilmore-isms" book!!! omg i want that book, filled with all their quirky and witty one-liners......
although i don't like it how they're photoshopped in to cartoon rooms, its a bit tacky if you ask me.
still its damn annoying to know i could have just waited for this instead of buying all the dvds individually!!
depression #2
i am a hypocrite.
similar thing happened to tim, when his boston legal dvds went into a boxed set of the 3 seasons and he had bought the first 2 seasons individually.
he was complaining and i said in reply,
"oh wah wah have a cry, its just dvds! geez its still the same shows, just packaged differently! freaking build a bridge and get over it, or just give the dvds to me and you go buy the boxed set!!"
why oh why oh why did i say that?!?!? now i get no sympathy from him!!!!
depression #3
my family is leaving for singapore/malaysia/hong kong/ china tomorrow without me! while i stay here and slave away working ungodly hours at that bloody bookstore (ok so i like it there, shut up)
depression #4
everyone is going to asia!! yes i'm looking at you ci's!!
lol.
i am so insanely jealous. ohhh the exchange rate would be so good to buy stuff there! you guys are going to have a blast!
depression #5
i miss the east side and the italian guy that cooked for us every night
depression #6
i am petrified and scared of going to america now. it just seems so remote and (yes i know this is corny) i'm going to miss my mum's food and cleaning and all the other stuff that mothers are for, including them.
also there is so many things to organise ------> visas, flights, insurance, housing, meal plans, consulates, scholarships fajgvnsaewvfnesjwghivesdnbwehb;sdx! argh, its endless!
oh well.
i'm tired, i think i will go to sleep. makes sense huh lol.
yes photos of melb/syd will most definitely go up soon, but here's one of my favourites-
no, the two guys in the background are not strangers, its our spanish friends haha.
yes, the one on the left is the hot one i was talking about. (though you can't really see much of him there)
why?

sydney
so i'm coming back in 2 days.
so this has been an absolute blast.
so living at a hostel was the greatest idea ever.
so.............I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK!!!!!!
i need to get off quick smart because there is like a long line of people who want to use the internet while it is working haha.
sydney reminds me so much of malaysia- the humidity, the buildings, the dirt, the roads, the prostitutes and my god- the ASIANS!
oh how i love it!
but melbourne is better, in my opinion. cos you know, my opinion is like soooooo important.
excuse me, i may be a tad delusional after a few drinks and walking around kings cross with old seedy men yelling at you and drunk yobos staggering around- sheesh, how did i survive!
anyway, we went to see the harbour bridge and opera house yesterday, i had the first glimpse of the bridge and nearly had a heart attack, i don't know why, i just excited when i see famous things. heck i even got starstruck when i saw the big brother stars in carousel!
today we went to chinatown with our new spanish friends and OH MY LORD are they hot or what!!!
right.
so only one of them was hot but OH MY LORD he looked like wentworth miller!!
it was a struggle to communicate with them- but just looking at him made it all better.
his name is mikel, no not michael, but "mee-kel"
HOTTTTTTTTT.
*fans myself*
and his accent.
HOTTTTTTTTT.
and they way he looks at you when he doesn't understand what you're saying.
HOTTTTTTTTT.
*sigh*
such a pity the photos of him do him no justice- but my gosh i shall most certainly post them up anyway.
his sms-es were almost indecipherable, with his signing off of "kisses babe" and weird grammar.
i swear to god if it was a fob sending the messages i would have been insanely grossed out and repulsed.
but no.
he's spanish.
HOTTTTTTTTTTTT.
ahahha ok ok no more.
alritey i'm off,
photos of everything and a long post of everything when i get back to perth.
(gosh, i have no life posting my everything on this thing)

melbourne
i have to say that melbourne is soooooo much better than perth!
- the city is so big
- there are so many boutiques- brands that we have in myers, david jones etc etc all have their own shops here, like bardot, armani exchange, miss sixty, tommy hilfiger (did i spell that right?) and LOADS more but i can't remember..
- there are SO many many many MANY asians!!!!! think curtin and multiply that by a 1000 and you have the amount of asians you will see in the city here
- they have cute little restaurants in alley ways like in italy and those european places
- the chinatown is better eventhough the dim sum is crap
- they have trams!
ok thats all i have time for as i leech internet off alvin hehe
sydney in 2 days!
then perth!
and full time work!
ew!
photos and more rants from me about melbourne when i get back.

a post about...........nothing.
i hate study.
why does study have to be soooooo boring,
its so hard to get started which means i waste a ridiculous amount of time procrastinating.
i don't think i've done effective study since.....year 10. lol.
but listening to The Beatles somehow makes it all better =)

------------------------
urgh, enough about study. i think i will start it after this post. (heh fat chance)
recently i've noticed two things about me- (oh geez how self absorbed!)-
anyway......
in the past few weeks where i should have been studying for uni stuff, i came across a new series called gossip girl.
justine introduced me to the books last year, and i've only read 3 out of the 8 (i think) books. they are so trashy, lame, bitchy and unrealistic that its just completely addictive.
the tv series is better than the books (in my opinion), everyone is so hot and everything they were is so nice- its all very OC-ish.
the show is set in upper east side New York where all the characters are children of top designers or high flying corporate executives. they're supposed to be high school kids going into college but they look way older (like the OC).
The main characters are Serena and Blair who are "best friends" but throughout the episodes you just can't decide who is bitchier than who. Their boy friends Dan and Nate are so hot. i think they are way better than Seth and Ryan.
so download it!!
god, i've just realised how absolutely pointless this post was...
okay- study time!!
recently i've noticed two things about me- (oh geez how self absorbed!)-
- i always get stopped for directions
i don't know what it is, but everywhere i go, someone always comes up to me and asks where something is. don't get me wrong, i don't have a problem with pointing where so and so is but seriously, why me!!! there are other people walking around too! from my observations, people who approach me are middle aged- elderly ladies and mid 20 year old men. being as easy to persuade as i am, i always get sucked into walking them to wherever they need to go when i'm in a rush to get somewhere myself.
example 1: vac work interview- some lady wanted to get to some building on the esplanade and i ended up going on the bus with her lol. i was panicking and stressing myself out so much because i thought i would be late for my interview.
example 2: walking to uni from CBS car park (10 minutes late for class already)- some guy asks where tech park is. apparently me pointing frantically in the right direction wasn't enough, so i ended up walking to the end of the street and pointing "you walk up THERE". then i had to run all the way back up the street and to uni.
i think its because i feel sorry for them because they look so lost and when i explain where their destination is, they look at me all confused like what i said made absolutely no sense (which is probably true), so i end up physically taking them there (out of guilt).
hmm... now that i think about it, i don't know what the whole point of me writing all that was. but its written and it was long, so i can't be bothered altering it. - i keep walking into male toilets
this happens quite alot. more frequently in foreign countries, but it also occurs often enough in perth.
i have no idea why or how this happens, maybe because i don't pay attention to the picture on the door and when i'm busting like hell i just go into the first door i see.
then i walk in and see urinals and only one or two cubicles. its quite frightening to be honest. and omg male toilets stink soooo much more than females. what's more frightening is walking on males relieving themselves.....then they see me....and i run out before they can say anything lol.
the worst time had to be in singapore where the urinals were all occupied by uncles...GROSS.

"Hello Dymocks Carousel, Vanessa speaking"
"Ah yes...is this Dymocks?"
"Yes it is"
"Oh hello there, i'm just wondering if you would have these two books that i'm looking for?"
"Ok what are they called"
"Well i bought these other books and in the inside cover they recommend other ones that i should try"
"Ok...."
"Yeh"
"So uh...what are they called?"
"The first one is the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men and the second one is the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women"
".......................the errm.... ultimate guide to.....what sorry?!"
"Anal sex"
"Anal sex?....oh....ok. just let me check our system..."
"Ah yes...is this Dymocks?"
"Yes it is"
"Oh hello there, i'm just wondering if you would have these two books that i'm looking for?"

----------------------------------

there are some seriously weird people in this world.

harry potter!
this is a completely overdue blog post seeing as how harry potter was released more than 2 weeks ago, but i hadn't been at work to get the photos lol.
and alot of photos there will be!
the whole day was so much fun! but for me it started out rather badly.
the night before was a friday night which meant drinks with the vac work people. omg that was such a bad idea! who knew champagne could get u drunk so fast!!!
anyway, the point of the story is i ended coming home at 3am still drunk, collapsed on my bed and woke up at 6am when kher sing called me to say she was outside my house.
i was completely out of it and panicked like crazy- i didn't even have a costume ready!!!!!
so i ended up chucking anything on and had to wear glasses cos my eyes were too bloodshot to wear contacts.
it was all rather dramatic. lol.
(gosh, this makes me sound like an alco, but i'm really not!! it was just one night and definitely the last!!!!)
when i got to work i was feeling strangely alert and the hype of harry potter hit me so i was no longer that tired.
it was like i was running on a natural high.
group photo of everyone before the doors opened at 7.01am
she wanted to come in a disguise because like my fear of being mistaken for cho chang (since i'm asian) she was scared of people thinking she was parvarti patel (she's not indian, but people often mistaken her for one and she hates it- sound familiar? lol).
she won the art competition. if u look closely at the bottom you can see that she made a snitch haha its a gold cube with wings suspended in a plastic clear box.
good effort for a 10 yr old i reckon!
10am- 2 hours after the release and the lines were still rather long!
ahhhh well deserved coffee break!! (i had hot chocolate though) after a morning full of fun filled hard work!
and alot of photos there will be!

group photo of everyone before the doors opened at 7.01am
kher sing + me + christina.
kher sing came as professor umbridge and christina was a ravenclaw witch.
as for me- i refused to be hermione cos i hate emma watson so i couldn't be in gryffindor. i didn't want to be mistaken for cho chang cos i hate her too, hence no ravenclaw for me. so i decided to be in slytherin (forecasting my love for severus snape). why not hufflepuff i hear u ask? well who in the world would wanna b in that house?! its kinda like the 'reject' house....
the doors are opening and we can hear the people running towards us...
and indeed they were....
seriously....it was scary seeing them charging towards the shop like no tomorrow! they had hunger in their eyes!!
it was really funny though.
me + brendan.
brendan hates harry potter and didn't want to dress up as anyone. *cough* KILLJOY *cough*haha rod (the guy in the black) was dressed as harry but then changed it to snape when he found the wig. the wig was so funny.
we had games for the kiddies to play-
there was potion making......
they got all excited when the bicarb soda was added. you could hear them all scream and yell with glee! haha so cute!
there was also wand making....
and pin the tail on dudley....
bec was dressed as a death eater.
me + kher sing with "hermione".
good effort for a 10 yr old i reckon!
10am- 2 hours after the release and the lines were still rather long!at 7am the lines went all the way past the end of fast eddys.
haha isn't that a character from some play station game?!
seeing everyone dressed up was so cool!
is that woman dressed as professor trelawney?
the daughter looks bored lol.
i was so jealous of the people reading it while i had to work!!
------------
WELL all in all it was a fantastic day! i loved it how everybody got right into the spirit and made the release of the last harry potter book a thorough success!
its times like these that you just love your job and the people that you work with.
i still don't understand how i survived that shift though.
it was 6.30am - 5pm.
with 3 hours passed out sleep the night beforehand!!
my natural high lasted til around 11am then i felt like dying. but i pulled through and enjoyed it!
ahhhh well deserved coffee break!! (i had hot chocolate though) after a morning full of fun filled hard work!no more harry potter books :(

uni + severus snape + econ tech
uni has started! 
jac- ("where ah?" LOL LOL actually i said tht)
woohoo! haha.
no, not really.
i'm glad i'm not working full time anymore, so i'm rather excited and happy that uni has commenced once again.
seriously work has made me appreciate study life so much more. i love being a student.
i also love severus snape.
reading about him in harry potter and how he loved lily so much was so sad! nearly cried lol. no wonder he hated james so much. snape risked his life to protect harry because he was lily's son. he pretended to work for the most evil powerful wizard putting himself in so much danger just so that lily's last living efforts of keeping harry alive would not go to waste!!!!
gosh, we need more men like snape!!!
but men like him just don't exist!
*sigh...........* severus snape s2 :(
-----------------------
for econ tech we have warren kimble as our tutor.
lol.
there we were thinking he would be some twenty something honours/masters student... we really could not be more wrong.
he is sooooooooooo old. so frail looking and he walks really slow.
i couldnt stop laughing cos jac kept exclaiming "omggg he's so oldddd!"
he made us play these "getting to know eachother" games, so i guess he's still young at heart? heh.
this is us in the econ tech lecture. omg so boring. i totally zoned out 30mins into it. we couldnt even see the damn projector thing cos it was so dark.
jac- ("where ah?" LOL LOL actually i said tht)shirley- pretending not to notice me taking a pic of her
coolest person in the world. heh.
in case you're all wondering why i was taking photos its because i was so god damn bored and i just recently learned how to use my phone camera from the outside of the phone.
yes, after having this phone for 6 months i have only currently learnt how to use the camera. its really weird ok!! u have to shake the phone! now c'mon, how many people would have figured that out?!?!

perth and me
i'm beginning to fall in love with perth. 
there is a flat screen tv on the wall to the right.
lol.
as much as i hate waking up at 6.30am every morning, as soon as i walk out and inhale the fresh air, the tiredness seems to go away. its kinda like ur breathing in a whiff of euphoria haha.
theres just something in the air around 7.30am on winter mornings!
the bus ride to the city is also great. especially when ur on the freeway approaching the city and u can see the buildings in the distance with the sun behind and shining on the swan river outlining the ripples- it really is a nice scene!!
this whole week i've been tempted to just whip out a camera and start taking photos. but that would just direct unnecessary attention to me.
my favourite view has gotta be on monday morning (yes, yesterday!) when the fog was still around and it blurred out the lower part of the buildings. it was like this layer of mist and it looked like the buildings were floating on clouds.
sheesh, what am i turning into!!!!
i duno, but the bus rides are truly awesome- listening to my ipod, looking out the window over the river to the buildings that i will be arriving to in a matter of minutes.....
ONE more thing abt the buildings is sometimes when the mist and fog appears it reminds me of the hogwarts castle hahahaha. u know how with the castle there is also a layer of mist and fog at the bottom? well they do look similar! i'll take a photo one day and compare it.
kpmg vac work has been pretty good. today was the most boring day though, i'm starting to see numbers everywhere-urgh. i'm working in the bhp building so thats pretty awesome, theres a coffee machine (not tht i drink coffee anyway) but i make milo instead. and theres free sandwiches and fruit.
i love the view from our boardroom and the toilets the best.
the toilets r just so clean!! and they have mirrors on every wall. the taps have no handles they're those automatic sensor ones.
the view is absolutely breathe taking i tell u! i'll take a photo one day.
this is a photo of the bhp reception. this pic really doesnt do half the justice of what it really looks like! stupid camera phone.
there is a flat screen tv on the wall to the right.i took more of the chairs than the view, but i was in a huge rush!
it also smells really nice in the reception...i wonder what it is....
ANYWAY.
ANYWAY.
i cant wait for harry potter book to come out, how freaking damn exciting!!!
i havent even re-read the 6th one yet dammit...
the movie was good. but i kinda liked the last one better.
i think ron and snape dies in the book....i'm not sure, but thats what i THINK.
everyone is fussing over if harry or voldemort wud die, i frankly dont care- either way its the last book so it really doesnt matter who dies.
alrite i'm off.....6.30 wake up call again.....urgh. i have to set 3 alarms lol.

random rant + clash party pix
holidays.
are tiring.
working full time.
sux.
i have a ridiculous amount of books to read, my manager just keeps giving us all these new releases ON TOP of allll the other endless number of books i've always been meaning to read. bleh. i've totally lost my knack for reading, i wish it would come back soon. i miss reading and getting completely engufled in the lives of the characters, being in someone else's mind and world- an escape from reality.
oh how boring reality is right now.
well, not really.
been going out alot, but i'm just so freaking tired right now.
ANYWAY, went to watch transformers last night.
i can see wat all the fuss is about, but i didnt personally find it THAT great at all.
its funny and entertaining. but when the fight scenes came on, i fell asleep and woke up to find sam putting the cube thing in megatrons chest (sorry if u havent seen the movie yet) and thinking wat the! i wudnt normally hav fallen asleep but we were sitting so damn close, the audio was so freaking loud and the actions were so bright and fast! urgh!
plus i had been working for the whole freaking day.
i WAS going to write a rather interesting blog about well, my life and wat i have been thinking abt lately (it was very deep and thought provoking ok!!) but i need to get off the net cos its just takes up too much of my time tht cud be spent reading or doing something productive.
so instead, i shall post up photos from the party tht i went to on saturday.
it was damn awesome fun.
drank on empty stomach (never again!) and only took me approx 4 drinks to feel the effect.
it was a dress up party where u had to clash two themes together. i went as a scottish mexican... well actually, i just wore anything and that i cud get away with it. but apparently not, because i kept hearing ppl go, "what did she dress up as?!".
the night didnt start out great, which was pretty good cos then i decided to drink my troubles away and oh boy it was so much fun!! i dont really rmb y it was fun, it just was! the ppl (most of them) were fantastic to talk to. i also learnt how to tye a tie (or isit tie a tye???)
its really scary when u see photos that u seriously dont rmb being in or how u got there or y u were with those ppl in the photo......=S
the next morning where we woke up at 7am something after getting maybe 1hr sleep we went to the city. joanne was too hungover to drive, so i drove. we ended up getting lost but thank god for the UBD. and thank god for the car being auto, with those hills in the city and my lack of sleep, a manual car wud have been dangerous. i parked a long long away cos we had no idea whereabouts in the city were anyway. so we walked a mile to go eat dim sum, cos we cudnt eat anything sweet- it wud just come right back out. walking in that freezing cold wind blowing against my face was absolute hell. i didnt have a jacket and the urge to vomit was stuck in my throat. my stomach was empty, i was starting to get a headache and my ears were hurting from the wind.
wen we FINALLY reached the dim sum, joanne went to the toilet to yak and i downed all the warm nice tea there was in tht place lol. i gotta say, dim sum and chinese tea really is the best hang over food!
are tiring.
working full time.
sux.
i have a ridiculous amount of books to read, my manager just keeps giving us all these new releases ON TOP of allll the other endless number of books i've always been meaning to read. bleh. i've totally lost my knack for reading, i wish it would come back soon. i miss reading and getting completely engufled in the lives of the characters, being in someone else's mind and world- an escape from reality.
oh how boring reality is right now.
well, not really.
been going out alot, but i'm just so freaking tired right now.
ANYWAY, went to watch transformers last night.
i can see wat all the fuss is about, but i didnt personally find it THAT great at all.
its funny and entertaining. but when the fight scenes came on, i fell asleep and woke up to find sam putting the cube thing in megatrons chest (sorry if u havent seen the movie yet) and thinking wat the! i wudnt normally hav fallen asleep but we were sitting so damn close, the audio was so freaking loud and the actions were so bright and fast! urgh!
plus i had been working for the whole freaking day.
i WAS going to write a rather interesting blog about well, my life and wat i have been thinking abt lately (it was very deep and thought provoking ok!!) but i need to get off the net cos its just takes up too much of my time tht cud be spent reading or doing something productive.
so instead, i shall post up photos from the party tht i went to on saturday.
it was damn awesome fun.

girls night out + exam ranting
yay one more exam to go! can't wait!
i REALLY do NOT want to get the results. i might accidently walk in front of a bus when i receive them.
the finance exam was horrible. but tolerable.
i was so freaking scared they were going to come around and check out the graphic calcs cos i wrote some handy notes in the programs menu. lol. my behaviour was probably abit suspicious i think, cos the examiners kept looking at me every now and again....but maybe they werent, u know how u always get paranoid when ur doing things ur not supposed to? hah.
BUT. to my defence, they never stated that ur calc had to be "clean" of any programs until i read it on the exam cover!
anyway, thought i might post some pictures of when we went out the other night before study week. (pffft "study week" more like "do anything else BUT study" week!)
we had dinner at the foundry (the chicken parmigiana was soooo yumm! i highly recommend it. not really that pricey either, i think was $19 or something) and then we went to burswood where we did some serious cam whoring (as evident below)-
lazing on the couches at burswood. they're so comfy and clean (well they look it...)
haha when we were walking away, i think it was emma who spanked stefs ass (i think) and this old man sitting from across smiled and nodded........ew. i bet he liked tht.
self timer pix rock! these guys in the car drove past and yelled out "ni hao!" urgh... hate it wen they do that, its soo annoying. maybe we should talk in broken english and actually pretend to be foreigners one day...
kabao and emma kissing in the bathroom
we actually all squashed into one toilet cubicle and took this photo.- well that was the plan anyway. instead we squashed into a corner and took like 10 photos hahaha. i dont think we wud have stopped if that lady didnt come in... we gave her a bit of a fright, poor thing.
kabao and me (hm...y is there so many pix of kabao)
S2!
alright, so it wasnt really THAT much camwhoring, but obviously i'd only post the less outrageous/boring ones, cos uhh....the others best not be posted up on the wide world web.
all in all it was an awesome night- great to catch up! i really miss high school sometimes =(
soooo many memories*
oh man its so late already and i have work tmr 8.30-5.00. yuk.
gnites ya'll!

hehe
just played this game with philbert, where u make a story with each word starting with the next letter of the alphabet.
the result-
A boy caught drowning echidnas frollicking gayly.
He instantaneously jumped kilometres landing mysteriously near orphans.
Patiently, Quinten reached seductively to Ursula. Very watery Xavier yelled 'zest!'
hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha!
i personally thought it was hilarious!

zoooooom
omg how much did the accounting exam SUCK?!
i am so fucking scared of the result, i just hope i PASSED, seriously.
a 50% final grade would suit me very finely.
and NO dont u 90-percent-ers fret about how hard u also found the exam, at least ur already passing!
after the exam, i got dropped off at carousel by shirley and then took the bus home. at the bus stop, i talked to this girl that was in my marketing tute last sem, i think her name is maurice. anyway, she had also just done the exam and we were both complaining and talking about how hard it was and blahblahblah......
well there i was thinking "oh yay, someone in the same boat as me, maybe i'll do ok afterall.."
HOWEVER.
after we finished talking about it,
i asked, "so what were ur internal marks?"
"ummm...." she thinks for while ".....80% ?"
OMFG!#^&^%$%$$#%!!!!!@@#!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY.
how could u possibly complain and be scared about failing the exam when ur on a freaking HIGH DISTINCTION?!
ANYWAY.
here are the links to the blogs that i have been reading lately.
they're all by malaysian girls. i know this is rude, but i was really surprised at how good their english were/are. apart from the occasional "lah" and the overusage of "wtf", they are incredibly articulate (from their writing).
i like the 1st one (quaintly.net) the best. can't really pinpoint y.
OH and yes they are the same age as us. that probably adds to the interest.
the last 4 call themselves "TheClub" or something. lol.
but its all a good read.
its like reading about people like us except they're in a different country...hmm that doesnt make sense...oh well.
one last thing- the audree.blogdrive one has REALLY niiiiice hair!
hahaha blogs r awesome.
two dyowwwwwwwn, two moorrrrre to go!

assam laksa
for the past week i have been really craving assam laksa. to the point where it was almost too much to handle! haha.
i couldn't get a better shot cos i was too eager to dig in. i couldnt b bothered making it all presentable either- for the same reason lol.
so one day when my mum didn't cook any lunch, i rumaged through our pantry and found this little beauty-
it was like a dream come true!
i immediately cooked it and oh boy did it taste good or wat! of course it doesnt really taste exactly (or at all) like the real thing, but when those cravings become unbearable it really does do the trick.
however, the thing is when u finish it, u kinda get sick of it- and it doesnt taste that nice at all! but once in a while is alrite.
what i really like about it, is that the soup (or shall i say MSG) is really sour and i lurrrrrv sour stuff. its also hot too and i lurrrrrve chilli!
thank goodness my mum cooked the real thing the other day-
i couldn't get a better shot cos i was too eager to dig in. i couldnt b bothered making it all presentable either- for the same reason lol.
my mums one definitely tasted alot better. bless her cotton socks.
BUT
u shud all try the instant noodles one too if u like assam laksa and sour/hot soup.
man, all this talk abt assam laksa is making me crave it again......
----------------
good luck to everyone for their exams!

------------------------------
on another note, i am so gawd damn tired! and as per usual this semester i havent even touched any of my uni work! fri night went to shirleys for lasagne and movies (zoolander) and laughed our asses off when shirleys mum sed jeremy was "hen hao kan" hahaha LOL. so funny. then saturday had work, and at night went to kings park then to weirs house where i got ten thousand bruises from wrestling. i ended up getting home at 3.30, sleeping at 4am. then sunday (today) had to wake up at 9am to go dim sum, where only 5 of us ate anything. the guys ate the paper from the char siew bao haha.
and NOW i gotta really get my accounting assignment done!
byebye!
Sunday, May 13, 2007
me, the ever so scary geisha.
i should really be doing my accounting assignment right now, but as usual i seem to be able to find other things to do.
the make up took 2 and a half hours to put on, and by the end of it i was ready to kill someone. my back ached so bad and my eyes were going red cos of all the eyeliner and face paint tht was reacting with my contacts. lol. i think the actual shoot took 2 hours.
in this case, i am going to post some, just some of the photos that my friend took for his portfolio; if i post all of them up not only would that take forever but it would also scare the living daylights out of every poor soul that views them.

my friend who took these photos was going for a "geisha gone wrong" theme, so thats why most of the shots look like they should be in a horror film.
the set up of the shoot was pretty cool, there were all these different lights and functions on the cameras.
i know the first two look really scary. since they are of me, i'm not so scared of them but other people who have seen it- haaaaaaaaaaaate it! LOL. so if its really too freaky, then i can take it off haha.
i rekon the scary ones are cool tho. looks ugly and horrible- but cooool =P
ok i better start my accounting. woo only 2 more tutorials with laurie factor! yay yay yay yay!
