Room Cleaning Episode 2
- Plastic bag with a massive smiley face with the words "Thank you! Have a nice day"
- An umbrella tag ... quite entertaining to read (to me anyway.) The umbrella itself is called the "Super Pocket Mini" haha XD and the info/warning tag goes something like this:
<<>>
- This product has a pointed end. Be sure to check the safety of your surroundings before using this umbrella.
- Do not use the umbrella as a walking stick.
- Do not use the umbrella if the handle or the rib tips are damaged.
- Do not swing or throw the umbrella around.
- Do not use the umbrella against gale force wind as it may break.
- Do no touch the rib structure of the umbrella.
- When the umbrella is not completely dry, keep it away from clothing and other items as it may cause colour transfer.
* Please watch young children when they use the umbrella.
- Plastic bags become very brittle after being in the sun for a long time ... it kinda just disintegrates in your hands in flakes =S
- What was once a fully pink bag is now fully white
That's it for now, but the list will grow longer as my adventures continue =P
Rain!
On the other hand, Kung Fu Panda was funny. Watching funny movies in a cinema makes me go <_<>_> cuz I find myself laughing at bits that other people don't laugh in ... which is very awkward ._.
Stupid lady at the fuel station today, lol. Car was already on the wrong side of a fuel pump and additionally, she didn't have enough skills to maneuver her car into the right position so she could drag/stretch the pump to the proper side. So she drives in and parks the car and attempts to fuel up. No success. Starts the car up again, drives forward slowly to the next available space, parks, car, gets out and attempts once again. No success. Steps repeated for the next one. I should also note that this is happening during busy times, ie. where cars are all lined up and also lined up OUT of the fuel station and also where cars are still on the roads waiting and unable to turn into the station. So yeah, I'm behind wondering what smart move the lady was gonna do next ... to which after several drive/reverse maneuvers, she positions her car in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION to everyone else = =" At this time, our car is parked and fueling up behind it, as is another car behind us. Lady gets out, retrieves the pump, comes to the final revelation that it is not long enough to stretch to the back of the car even though the hole is on the correct side, makes a face and goes to sit back in her car. I be eating peanuts whilst watching all this happening and waiting for mum to finish fueling up. Lady suddenly gets out of the car, says a few things and does a few hand movements which to me, as I was in the car and couldn't hear anything, seemed to have meant "When you're finished, can you drive out beside my car so I can fuel up" and gets back into the car. Ha, right lady, sif. There is like nil space between the cars. I turn down the window to ask mum what she said and she goes "I don't know". HAHA. Mum goes into queue up and pay for fuel. Lady suddenly starts car, reverses, and leaves the fuel station. lolololol ... in the distance I see her waiting at the traffic lights to make a u-turn and probably return to the fuel station and restart lining up. haha, what a waste of time. After fueling up, we u-turned at the traffic lights and went past the fuel station again, and I couldn't see the car in the any queue. lolol, silly lady. Mum was like "Oh well, she probably had plenty of time, so I guess it doesn't matter." haha XD Who knew fueling up could be such an adventure.
zomg, I'm such a noob. Was staring at the word "que" thinking that it just did not look like it was spelt right. Took me a while to figure that it was actually supposed to be "queue".
SIGH.
Feels good to have had some catch up time with friends =) Yolanda, wishing you all the best with your future endeavors and with your studies - you will definitely achieve what you aim for, as always =) You probably won't ever read this but who knows, you might stumble across this one day haha

Sick. Warning: random complaint infested rant.
I hate being sick. Makes me feel like crap. And I also just found out 2 hrs ago that I've been taking medicine that makes me drowsy. No wonder I've been feeling all snoozy for the entire day. Stupid throat, I sound so retarded. And now my nose is half playing up. Blergh.
Camp was 2 weeks ago. I might do some entry on it in the near future. I probably won't though, since I'm so lazy, but we'll see. It also depends on my memory too. All I can say for now though is that the talks were really good, the food was excellent and that games out in the cold sucked. Sorry to Tim and Sven if they happen to stumble across reading this some day. The games were fine, but the fact that it was very cold and that there was wind wasn't.
Work has been .... crazy, to say the least. I can't find an appropriate word to sum it all up. I nearly worked 40 hrs the whole of last week. That's Monday to Saturday with only Tuesday off. zomg. That's probably the reason why I've gotten sick. sigh. I really hope the workload lightens up and that a full time person can be found and more help given. There's way too much stock, too many jobs, too little time, not enough sufficiently experienced people to do everything the manager's satisfactory standard and urgh I dunno. Personally I think everyone is doing a great job in their part to do the best to help out around the place. But seriously, sometimes there is way too much and we really can't cope. And break times, die. I get 15 minutes from working 8am to 7pm. I really should do some sorta complaning but hey, not in my nature to. Maybe I should start and change that.
Sign ons are a bum. Especially if they're spread out all over one morning, ie. today. Sign on activity happening from 9 til 11 at half hourly intervals. It's such a drag. And then there's the lag. And the occassional stuff up. At least nothing went majorly wrong, my timetable is the way I've wanted it to be and haven't had to do any serious changes. Finding more people who are doing the same course and same class times and stuff. So that's a good plus.
I want to clean my room, but there hasn't been enough time. Or rather, when I do have the time, it's either after something and I'm super tired and stuff so I end up can't-be-bothered-to-clean-up-my-room-and-will-instead-bum. Then there's also trying to arrange times to spend time with people but that's also not happening. Such is life. Busy work factors is such a pain. I'm annoyed. I'm tired. My brain is shutting down. zzzz. I want to watch Kung Fu Panda, friend however just so happen to suddenly change some times, might not get to watch it. Wah. I be sad.
Is cappuccino or latte stronger?

Room cleaning
I just went through a pile of paper and found a whole heap of my artwork/sketches from 2/3 years ago ... which I didn't know I still had. I thought I chucked them out last time I cleaned up, but obviously not >_>; So many sketches! Most of them look so stupid and amateur ... a few of them good (yay!) So many Saiyuki sketches! zomg. I actually quite miss sketching all the Saiyuki pictures. They were such a good source for practice and everything ... they ARE a good source. I miss reading Kazuya Minekura's works =(
Well the first week of holidays have gone by. Activities include picnicking, movie watching, room cleaning, working and badminton watching! Hope I get more space out time. Camp next week, don't know how that'll be this year, feeling slightly iffy about it for some reason. Eh *shrugs*.
Hope everyone is having a fun holidays where ever you've gone to ... either still here or overseas. Stay safe and warm!

Excellent
Exams over.
One month of holidays.
Excellent.
Some highlights over the past month:
- Munted weather: several days of rainy cold days followed by a day of sunshine consequently followed by more gloomy days OR thick fog OR fully warm days ... haven't experienced such abnormal winter weather
- Eating fully crap dumplings at some food place ... and so $$$ as well ... what a rip
- Being poked about being short and it's relatedness
- Monica realising that her jacket was missing and running for her life
- Hailey and her "It YOOKS!" (Chinglish) and making people say "Irish Wristwatch" x 10
- Realising at work that an order was supposed to be made for another day and subsequently trying to untie a tied up balloon (doesn't work ... don't try)
- Nearly getting run over by a car at church =(
- Further being commented about being short, being whacked, being poked
- Trivia night and the group's making up of answers / "Name the 3 Beckham kids" "Uh ... Brooklyn, Romeo and .... eh, I dunno just write Peckham" / "Who were the 4 people in the Kelly gang?" "Well Ned obviously ... then uh ... Ted, Fred and Ed"
- "Noo! Too. Much. Potato *death stares wedge*" .... "IT"S EXPANDING" WHOOSH
- Waking up at late/early/odd/random times
- Hearing "Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O", while trying to cram study.
- Further comments on height, being poked, being whacked, etc
I must say, it is quite nice to know that I don't have to think about anything uni/study related for a whole month. The semester couldn't have possibly been longer. But maybe it's the fact that I'm becoming more and more lazy and am doing things just for the sake of doing it. Eh, that's pretty sad. Where's my direction and motivation all gone.
Too much has happened over the past month. Happy, sad, strange, weird, random, whatever. Time flashes by so quickly. Sometimes I wish things would just speed up and sometimes, I just wish time would slow down and let me drown myself in moments where I feel I am at ease and enjoy myself. Most importantly, I want some major me time. Hence, I am so glad there is a whole month ahead of me where I can do whatever I want, without deadlines and whatnot. I feel like I've said that to myself so many times before already.
Vampire Knight. Anime. Manga. Whatever. Read it. It's good.
Still ongoing so the problem is that you have to wait for each episode to slowly come out.
OP (ON/OFF - Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi)/ED (Kanon Wakeshima - Still Doll) songs are so good. It's those kinda songs that make you go o_O; when you first listen to it, however the more you listen to it, the more you grow to like it.
Just make sure you search and listen =P
Time for a layout change sometime.

Time for some bloggin'
"Hi you big forgetful lunkhead."
... soo no comment. Anyways, time to get back to some work. More later!
lolol ... jks.
I'm just thinking, why do people blog anyway. But then again, now that I think about it, there's actually a large assortment of reasons, so that was just a really stupid question by me, yet again.
Uni ... has been pretty ok? I don't even know how to describe it. I guess I'm pretty much settled in to the "uni lifestyle", but then again it's like, nearly the end of the semester. We got the lecs, the tutes, the PASS, the homework (weekly/fortnightly quizzes), the assignments, the exams (the ones that have gone and the ones to come). I'm finding that I'm doing my learning in tutes and the PASS adds onto that, THEN the lectures make more sense. Pretty stupid. But we'll say that's just me. But yeah, there's really not much else to uni ... it's kinda boring actually, if not for the fact that I'm able to see friends between breaks and whatnot. eh~ *shrugs*
Not much else has been happening out of uni life. Mother's Day was a couple of days ago. Outing/picnic with family friends and just sat around grazing on junk and talking. Such a great combination. Following that, we went over to friends place for dinner but that dinner was KFC. Extra junky day. Yum. And the Wii does not help whatsoever =P RICE was last Saturday and that was pretty good. Last Monday ... Josh's bday party. Game and food filled. And then uuh ... couple of bdays passed in the past month or so. What else? Oh yeah, working at early/late hours. Boo. And that's about it.
Man, why did I blog. I've totally forgotten my reason to do so other that report what's been happening around the place. Getting distracted too easily. The time between me starting this entry and posting this entry was like, an hour plus.
Til next time~

So not cool.
Thank goodness I backup my files once ever so often. Otherwise I'd dig myself a hole atm and not come out.
Still though ... I have tonnes of other stuff stored in the computer, I don't wanna be continually wasting my time reinstalling software because we have to keep reformatting it.
Aaaaarrgh *headdesk*... this is so stupid! And I don't know where the comp disks are hidden in the house -_-"
Not cool.

So, birthdays eh?
March!!
Monica's birthday(17th)! My birthday(24th)! Elaine's birthday(25th)! Birthdays all around! Conveniently, it's also been mid-semester break this week. Celebration! w00t!
Went on a trip down to Burleigh Heads on Monday. Came back looking red/brown/black/colour-you-turn-after-spending-whole-day-at-beach. Uuh, can't be bothered saying much other than it was great fun and a good birthday thing to do hehe. Beach wind/sea spray is soo good. Eating sand is sooo not good XD Details on the day can be read here or here if you're really interested.
Tuesday night was a combined birthday dinner with the Lifegroup. Thank you for a great night guys. The food, the book and the fun =)
Thursday! ... Monica and my own birthday combined group outing! ^_^ Bowling and pancakes! Congrats go to the group on the far right who's score range was from abt 70-130 or something. Middle lane was pretty awesome too. My lane got owned having the lowest score range ever ... 40-70? lool, we suck! XD Chow time followed bowling. I am never having a chocolate pancakes ever. Sugar overload - kill me naaaooo -_- After lunch, some went to play pool while the rest migrated over to Asian Central and proceeded to take numerous sets of sticker photos. However many minutes/hrs later, everyone split into separate little groups and continued to do whatever they wanted, leaving my group count to 4. Sat around talking, yawning, staring/waiting for food to go on special LOL, waiting for bus/home times to come around for an hr or so before we all went our ways. Thanks for a great day everyone. Love you all. And for all the presents, lol. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves =)
Friday was Elaine's picnic! Some key highlights of the day from the BBQ-ing side of the park ...
- Deep friend sausages. Ants. Oil soaked sausages. Dead flies/insects on sausages. The mystery of the vege-sausages. lool XD
- Cooking onions to the perfect standard.
- Revelation that the sausages were beef, not pork. "Nu! We could have left the sausages a bit raw without worrying!"
- Flies.
- Washing the BBQ top with various ingredients: coke, onions, water, oil, tissues.
- "Hey look, 3/4 of the guy population have migrated over there" "3/4? Wait, what? Oh"
- The mystery of the knife. [Later] "Hey look at what I found! *pulls out half knife*" *collective groan*
- Water, water!
- Short tongs own all! "See? The long ones so do not have a firm grip." "Yes they do" "No they don't" "Yes they do" "No they don't" "No they don't" "Ha! I have a supporter! I win"
And some highlights from the day in general. - "Noo, why is it soo loud! And so early in the morning!", "It's like nearly midday."
- Bev's crash tackle and fall. And my lame-o description -_____-
- Cake. The mud cake. The mango cake. The mystery cake. "The Cheesecake shop must love us."
- Bev's DO WANT and DO NOT WANT hand signals
- "Let's all go on the nets and take a photo!" "OK! Let's go! I'll stay and take the photo =P"
- "Guys! Smile! Or do something funny!" "Does falling off count?" Uuuh .... not too sure what else happened on the non-bbqing side. Feel free to add, lol.


Mid-sems. Assignments. In the coming 2/3 weeks. Go go go go!
