million dollar question..
my neighbours are sneaky. they totally got me.
there i was, trying to watch braveheart. not even by choice but because it was wad dave had planned on watching when he asked me to pop by...so im like.."braveheart?? oookaayy.."
i settled into couch with mug of milo & tried watching it.
but from the Beginning to the End (i left about 20mins into flick, cos i figured i wasnt gonna be able to catch a single bit of the movie..) they were yakking & yakking & yakking. about things i wasnt Remotely interested in! informative yes - apparently dave has some cherokee blood in him, in addition to the chinese, scottish and new zealander blood he already has. talk about greedy. & steve thinks he's very muscular even tho he's just. phat. ppffft. new zealanders! *rolls eyes*
but anyways!!! (omg the yakking is infectious!!!!! -___- )
they asked me "why.do.girls.always.go.for.the.bad.boys??"
for a moment all i could think was
"*all 12ft of them are staring at me & tho i cant see it cause lights are off i can TOTALLY feel it*"
*slinks further into seat* (they're really nice guys. but them looking at you so intently...*shudder*)
i "eerrr-ed" & "weeeeelll-ed" & "coooossss liiiikkeeeee-ed" for the longest time.
(i was thinking to myself "wouldnt I like to noe...")
but i said "cause they can fix 'em....??"...totally lame i'll admit.
but tell me my dahlings. why? im SURE we've been thru this one before. at breko's or harry's or coffee bean or over mee rebus & pokka green tea or mackers @ science centre or XLBs!!!
I'M SURE!
yet the cat still got my tongue tonight. damn cat. :P ¶ 8:59 PM 0 Comments

"i'll make shooting stars for you"
disclaimer (if you somehow find your way here): i do not mean any harm & im not mocking you in any way. but i really do mean it when i say, no thank you tho the thought & intention was very sweet. :)
*cringe*
him: "you've never seen shooting stars before?"
me: "nope..so sad right?!"
him: "when you come back i'll take you to a place where i'll make shooting stars for you."
me *conveniently ignores most of reply*: "can make one meh?!"
him: "caaan..i'll show you"
it is very thoughtful but no thank you. very much. ¶ 12:38 AM 3 Comments

a day in the life of..
i jus got home from my one and only tute today & im kindda hungry so this is my next line of action (yes im trying to make this sound very official):
- change to pjs (u already noe where this is going ;))
- shove $400 phonebill, $90 elec bill & checklist for things to do before i move out, aside
- followed by assignmentS
- go to kitchen (obviously ignoring sink full of dirty dishes) and grab grub
- get comfy
- plonk in front of laptop with nutella and spoon in hand
- talk to angel about shrinking bladders, transitioning smoothly to alcoholic tendencies.
happy is me
not for long i reckon ;) ha!
ps: is it bad that angel's mention of "walk(ing) around in elasticbands-under-the-boobs kinda flabby pants with no shape" @ 55 sent shivers down my spine more than any scary movie ever has?

when i grow up
i wanna stand in our balcony
watching the sunrise, sipping freshly brewed black coffee
i'd like to watch the seasons change
then our children will noe more than just sunshine & rain
they could have a soccer mom & a huge backyard
with swings! slides! a jungle gym & the odd trampoline.
i could wake up & make you bacon & eggs
or if you preferred just plain corn flakes.
we might work from 9 to 5
but we'd both come home ready to unwind.
we'd brunch on weekends after a stroll through the park
or watch cartoons & dvds till it gets dark
we'll go on roadtrips & take holidays
in our summer house we could stay.
i would have many birkins, in alligator, snake whatever i fancy
& you would have your gadgets aplenty.
that's all good & it's my little girl dream
but all that isnt really necessary.
nevaeh, caitin & owen too
them i'll need,
when i grow up with You.

hard techno.
i reckon the more you listen to it, the more it'll grow on you.
it's certainly grown on me. & it helps that dancing to hard techno is a FULL body workout man. after last night/this morning my leg muscles are so damn tight. i had to keep doing stretches in the club la. haha. my friends were like wtf? and this is one scene where sweating buckets doesnt matter to anyone cause everyone else is sweating like a pig. it's full on, sweat trickling down forehead, soaking t-shirt through kind of sweating.
it was quite outrageous that we raved for 12hrs straight. 2am-2pm. no alcohol. i dunno how we survived. i havent slept but im not tired. will prob KO tonight tho....
i lup melbourne for techno clubs that open from 7am-5pm for people who havent had enough from the night alone. oh yeah.
ps: you all still love me riiitee!!! even tho im becoming avid fan of hard techno?? *puppy dog eyes*
pps: am currently downloading all 22 eps of prison break. am i very suaku huh? i never got the chance to steal it from jo who had to steal it from ian's hard drive. & my friend who has it here has to take my ipod home with him so he can upload all eps for me, & i dunch wanto part with ipod. so im working for my teevee!!!
(READ: "working" - typing in 'prison break' and tapping "search". double click torrent link. sit back & from time to time, mentally curse download speed (rather, lack of).

leeeet's gooo!!
i got back my first assignment for the semester today..
it was the one i finished the morning i arrived back in melbourne cause i couldnt get my ass down to doing anything productive ('sides meeting friends of course :P) whilst back in singapore.
i did pretty well so im surprised. but lecturer did say he tried to be generous.
totally fine with me man =)
in other news,
yours truly is going for her final exam of her undergraduate career tomorrow. it isnt even an exam exam cuase it's open book & it's during lecture. not one of those exam-in-sprawling-hall-rented-by-uni-with-woman-examiners-ka-chaoing-you-with-clickety-clack-of high-heels
kind of exams.
so sad.
ohh! in other news:
i want new bag! (i noe i noeeee..not exactly 'news' DOH.) hahaha. actually considering the fendi spy in striped denim..heeee..but. but i might just do chloe edith (next 'IT'?) or celine clandestine (even its name sounds nice..hurhurhur) or YSL muse (Queeen: stop bouncing up & down. i noe which you're rooting for :P)
on the other hand, as mark thought to raise "but you just bought the Tod's bag"..could sense "blank-look-why-you-need-another-bag-so-soon" all the way through millions of phone cables coming at me...
horrific right? i was left momentarily speechless. but then i jusitifed it with a very convincing
"hmm" (read: thank you for your input/advice but no i dun think i'll be taking it today. chloe or celine..HMMM)

home again home again to catch some sleep..if you look carefully, derek has bobby dangling from below his rear view mirror. hurhurhur. he really does look like the scowling bobby at times. & as much as he might not seem it, he's a real softie with a hardarse exterior :) ¶ 11:26 AM 0 Comments
such posers! nah, it was a 'surprise shot'. love the way the sky & water look like they're coming together to sandwich the houses..there're actually hot air balloons in the background but i couldnt get them. ¶ 11:23 AM 0 Comments
a view from where we were back to shore..i love the rickety old pier. kindda like pulau ubin meets beach houses in hawaii (?) ¶ 11:19 AM 0 Comments
the sun's almost there!! :) for some reason derek was always in the right place @ the right time for me to take scenic shots with him in it. or maybe jerald was jus too busy with his breakfast. hahaha ¶ 11:17 AM 0 Comments
me, derek & jerald. we're all a little cranky from not having gotten any sleep, hence my warped decision to not bring jacket along & brave cold in polo tee & scarf. ¶ 11:15 AM 0 Comments
it's slightly brighter now & derekis happily tucking into his sandwich even tho he cannot feel his fingers. or nose. & this is after he's got on his army-warmest-thing-on-earth-jacket. ¶ 11:13 AM 0 Comments
this was when we first got there, about 6:45am. we sat on the pier with chicken and egg sandwiches, cherry tomatoes & a flask of hot green tea (only made possible with my very pretty starbucks -actually- coffee tumbler from my dearestest girls :)) ¶ 11:11 AM 0 Comments

BOBBY!!!!
cutest.ever. he's squishy. like a stress ball. and his 'skin' is slightly elastic so i can tug at it and not rip it. hehe. Bobby came from one of those 'tee kum' machines. he rolled straight into my hand in one of those plastic balls. in my day it was..20cents or 50cents for the Big ones surprises. Bobby cost me 2bux. but he is most adorable. gonna go back for more. there's this one where he looks absolutely cheesed off. hurhurhur.
altho i think this face is quite me, eh?
hmmmm: the name "Bobby" jus made me think of Bobby from pj. hands up anyone who remms him?? i think queeen would. -______- ¶ 9:45 AM 0 Comments

tofu yes. tao ni no.
it's time for my standard "i miss singapore" post. i noe i've totally slacked off. i always do when i go back. haha. but i see you guys all the time. what else is there to say? maybe my life jus ain't that exciting. & i dun have many epiphanies, most of the time all that's going on in brain are "what to eat what to eat" & "who's free when.."
i got back & of course, something had to screw up at home. my internet's down. modem died or something. spent 1.5hrs on the phone with somebody who couldnt coherently verbalize instructions. (i bought prepaid internet later that day but still can't get it to work.) my printer died the same morning so i couldnt even print the assignment i finished between getting home at 7am and 3pm. a kind soul has offered to gimme his printer so i hope that works out.
random note: on the way to the airport i was trying to console myself & i kept thinking, "i'll be home soon..a mth or so aint long at all." but when i touched down in melbourne i thought. waitaminute. that also means i only have a mth or so left in melbourne. i'll never be go crazy clubbing, rush assignments, mug for exams next day, over paying international student again. suddenly the month doesn't seem so long anymore. was telling mark, if i finished an assignment a day (clearly hypothetical) & packed in 3 days. i could be back by next friday. but that's too soon. i still have to be photo-whoring tourist with henri. go to the slopes with jerald, derek, ivan & arun. visit meien in perth. melissa in sydney. stock up on work clothes. visit the melbourne zoo. ktv with glenn & calvin. go to that christmas-y restaurant in dandenong. go gold-digging in ballarat. do one more castle rave. surf (read:watch) in torquay.
tourists who come for a week have seen more of melbourne than i have in 4 yrs. what have i done all this time i've been in melbourne you say? rush to go back to singapore i guess.
sticks of cigarettes = 0
nicorette gum = 3
