Day 220

mmm where do i start? it's been quite a long time since i last updated. i've so many things to sae!

firstly, dad was supposed to come down to perth to visit us for a wk. it was originally 3rd october that he was coming over. but an issue with his client cropped up and he changed it to an earlier date - 25 september. mum was so happy!! i could tell she couldnt wait for dad to fly over. but alas, another client issue surfaced. and tis time, dad was not so lucky. he was not able to make the trip anymore. so he had to cancel his flight =( when dad told mum the bad news over the phone, she was so upset. i saw her cry. i felt so helpless. i didnt noe wad to do, all i did was hug her. oh wells, we'll just have to wait another few more mths till our return for our family to reunite. haiz..

the last 1.5 wks was hell for me. i was so busy with uni work. on top of that, i had to work. i didnt hav enuff rest. i had a test and an assignment to submit on the same wk. and to make me even more superwoman, the asia cocktail night had to fall on the friday that week. i rem i had to work for 8 hrs that day. when i came home, i had a shower, dinner then it was dressing up and make-up for the clubbing event. amanda's friend, eddie, picked us up from our place at 9.30pm. according to my sister, all the tickets were sold. The ones in Curtin and UWA. That makes it a total of about 6000 tickets. amazing how 6000 people can squeeze into one club. i almost died dancing with the crowd. it was so squeezy. i gotta admit clubbing is not really my style. i noe it's my sister's but it's not mine. i feel uncomfortable when i club. mmm..

anyway, the ticket which costs $20 gave us 2 free standard drinks, by that i mean vodka etc.. we first had a vodka sunshine, recommended by eddie. i liked it but amanda said she found it a little bitter. i thought it was sweet compared to the other drinks. then i had malabu with lemonade. tasted like coconut. the last drink i had was 151 (75% alcohol). my friend, julien treated me and stella to that drink. it was DAMN STRONG i tell u.. it's just a shot but once u drink it down, it burns ur throat. my throat still had that burnt feeling throughout the night and even the next day! i had to drink alot of water the next day cos i was feeling so thirsty.

when a shot comes together with a glass of water, it means the alcohol is really strong. yep, the 151 comes with water. after about 20 mins, i was slightly drunk. i was on the dance floor just moving, barely dancing cos' my head was just feeling tipsy. i could tell cos' my eyes couldnt focus. it was flying all around. but the funny thing is, most people go all wild when they are drunk. not me apparently, i just wanted to stay at one corner and daze. stella and her sister were very drunk.

i guess im a really traditional person. i get a little turned off when i see people grinding each other and kissing. and for that, i dun tink i'll b clubbing any time soon.

eddie was drunk so we were afraid that he wldnt be able to send us home safely. unfortunately, there was no one else to give us a lift. there was one person however, but he could only send us as far as where the taxi stand was. and at that late hour of 3am, it's so cold outside (i was shivering so badly) and u could be waiting for an hr for a taxi! plus the taxi fares are extremely expensive here. so, eddie pleaded with us to give him an hour to sober up, of which he did. thank goodness! and he fetched us home safely at about 4.15am. whew.. wad a day..

guess wad? i had work the next day. ok not next day but in 5 hrs time. i had to get up at 7.30am to prepare for work. i quickly washed up and had 3 hrs of slp. when i got up, i had so much difficulty trying to put on my contact lens. expected la.. u see, i wore my contact lens for more than 18 hrs already. i kept on tearing uncontrollably. but i needed it for work. it was so bad.. i had to work for 7 hrs. even when i finished work, i had church when i got home. after dinner i was so exhausted i had to climb into bed and just slp. luckily for me, i was able to slp for as long as i like the next day. so i had a total of 11 hrs of slp. it was shiok man! haha..

my tutorial free wk is finally here.. but this break isnt really free at all. i have an accounting online assignment to do which will take me approx 20 hrs to complete. and im so glad to inform that u i've just successfully completed that todae =) i worked on it for 2 WHOLE days. now i've another assignment to start on, to be handed in this coming mon. here it goes again. i bet it's going to get busy again after the free wk. aiz.. wad a tiring semester.. how r u guys doing?

these are the pictures taken at metros club.. hope u like them! =) i gt the chance to use my green graduation dress again. haha! i thought i wldnt b able to use it after my JC prom night. so wasted la..

Day 206

-- the joke of the morning --

amanda picked up a call and a chinese woman talked to her. as soon as she heard her speak, she passed the phone to my mum but my mum was busy at the moment and told her to tell the woman that she doesnt noe how to speak chinese. becos last night a china woman also called, wanting to promote sth. and u noe wad happened?! amanda said, "sry. i dunno how to speak chinese." the woman replied, "u dun understand zhong wen?" amanda answered her, " no. WO BU HUI." oh my gosh! as soon as she said that, she quickly put down the phone cos she realised she just spoke chinese. HAHAHA.. so funny..

btw, i emailed my lecturer todae regarding my statistics mark this morning. i'm actually doing a unit on finance (quantitative techniques) which comprises of statistics for the first half of the semester and calculus for the other half. the statistics component includes a tutorial participation mark, computing assignment and mid-semester test. and i got a 45.5/50! YEH! i must go celebrate =) but not as yet.. got 1 assignment and test coming up in a wk.. so stress. mmm well, at least i've gt something to be happy abt now. haha..

Day 199

Last saturday after my work, some of my co-workers and I (including a few managers) went to Sizzler's to give a farewell dinner for Rohan (one of my co-workers). He's flying off to India this coming thursday. i hope he comes back to visit us =) anyway, these are the only photos i took at Hungry Jacks while waiting for the rest to come down. i brought fresh clothes to change into after my work.

On the left is Victor (aka Vicky) and the right is Rohan (aka ronnie, rosie, KK, KFC etc) with Vicky's cool sunglasses. wahaha!

and this is me and rohan.. he still refuses to put down the sunglasses. he tinks he's cool =p guess we'll nv noe how he looks without those sunglasses. HAHA..

When we reached the restaurant, it was packed. there was a long queue and the time was oni 5.30pm!! guess because Father's day was on sunday, that's why everybody's coming out to celebrate. but i heard it's THIS full on other wkends too. there were 11 of us in total.. i thought getting seats was going to be difficult but it wasnt really so. and i actually thought that our manager (the one who organised the dinner) was going to pay for all our meals but noooo... she oni paid for the rest of the managers. so sad ah.. though we had to pay ourselves, rohan offered to treat us. we told him not to but he insisted. so nice of him.. =) overall, the dinner was ok.. the salads were gd.. quite a wide range. but i didnt like the spaghetti or the milestrone soup i tried. euwww.. my best soup will still be the one i always have at pizza hut back in s'pore with sean. lol.. when i drank the milestrone soup, i kept tinking of HAVING the pizza hut soup =( their potato balls are very gd.. so soft and tasty. goes well with many sauces. the dessert was not to say very interesting. i had a few here and there and i didnt like it. i wanted to save the ice cream for the last but i was just too full. oh man! i shld hav had the ice cream b4 the cakes. haiz.. i bet it'll definitely be more fulfilling.

The juicy part of the dinner was i got to noe tt 2 of my managers and 2 of my co-workers are dating. so shocking ah! i didnt realise at all when i was working. they were u noe.. touching here touching there. ok dun wan to gross u guys out. but seriously, pple here are more open when it comes to public display of affection. they dun mind at all if other pple look at them when couples do wadever they do. HAHA..

To end the dinner off, rohan took a few pictures with his camera. i gotta get those photos off him.. haha.. wait wait ok? hehe..

today's work is extremely tiring.. i'm always on the move. never stopped working since i started. and one of my co-workers was slacking. he even complained he was bored and was yawning all the time! so ironic right?!! he even asked my manager if he cld go off earlier because he's tired (due to boredom). geez~! i noe ur gd friend in hungry jacks is leaving for india soon and working will never be as fun again. i feel the same way too ok? bloody hell.. i'm working my ass off cos' u nv do ur work. and i'm even doing wad u're supposed to do!! i really have no idea wads up with u these few days. Haiz.. my back was aching so badly but i cant stop working =( i didnt hav lunch at all. aiyo.. i'm really tired.

tmr still gt work and in the evening, i'll be going down with some of my co-workers and managers to Sizzler's to have a farewell dinner for one of my co-workers. because of the dinner, i've to go for the 8am church service on sunday before my work shift starts. my schedule is so busy and yet, i hav a test to study for nxt thursday. this coming wednesday i'm working the whole day. i wonder where am i going to find the time to do all my sch work and study =( at the same time, i've to dedicate some of my time to help my friends with their assignments.

everynite i hav the tendency to doze off to slp. but i keep on waking up, telling myself to continue doing my sch work becos there's no time.. i started having regular doze-offs from 8 plus and didnt go to slp until 12 plus. see how strong-willed am i? wahaha just kidding. it's not gd at all.. but i dun hav a choice.. surprisingly, i didnt fall sick. my sister has been really ill the past wk and i tot i wld catch the bug from her. but i didnt! heex.. i'm strong =p
