Feezin in the cold

Currently in Starbucks with Terri happily using the free wifi *thank god for free wifi*. oh wait.. benny just walked by *Hi Benny* :) Yup.. i have degenerated to the point where ive taken to using *free wifi cos i have none at home. Sob. So im here... enjoying my tall Rhumba frappuccino with no cream, courtesy of Hanxens gift vouchers. Ahh... my third Rhumba in two days. No matter..ive been badly missing my Rhumba.

I have decided that im gonna bring back a lil furry pet to campus next week. Hope my new roomie isnt scared shitless cos im gonna get a Chinchilla. This cute furry little ball thing with a tail. Oh wait. Maybe i'll get myself a guinea pig instead. Hmmmmmm...

Itching and Peeling ..

Yup.. I'm back. From the beautiful island of Lang Tengah (for those of you that still dont know, thats between Redang and Perhentian in terengganu) and i have not only managed to get way darker, and rather sunburnt, but i have achieved what i thought impossible - i sunburnt my ass. Amazing, aint it. had a great time there .. and for you folks that like the sea or the beach, i highly recommend it. Cos seriously, when i got there i had no idea that such a place still existed in Malaysia. A place where the fish swim right up to the shore, a place where the water is clearer then a darn swimming pool. A place where corals are within range of the beach (think little mermaid or finding nemo kind of corals .. amazing).

As i said, the water is so darn clear, its amazing. Ishuet and I were feeding the little fishies right at the beach.. where the water is shallow enough to wade into. And the resident squirrel? Its tame enough to take food right out of your hand. Doesnt really fancy Mr Potato, though.

See the black thingy in my hand? its a sea cucumber. A black, kinda slimy, suprisingly solid pudgy kinda thing. A kind of animal that clings onto the seabed (we dont know what) and its pretty gross to look at..but tolerable to hold for a while. Loads of these things down there. And dont throw em around, they can bleed and they can burst.

Just for the view.. By the way, it isnt the sunset. The yellow round thing was the moon. It came out yellow that night so we ran down to grab a shot..

Ishuet and I, taken in Terengganu at the Palace Entrance. Trust me, doenst look anything like a palace. We thought the little garden outside it was some sort of comunity garden or park. Hahaha.. And just to fill up the space, some other random shots.. And did you know, that Coke is still sold for 1.10 here?? Guess inflation didnt hit this place. Then again, neither did the nature conservationists. They sell turtle eggs in the market. Speaking of which.. there were turtles.. and sharks.. and clown fish... Go give the place a visit if you can .

Fine Dining

Went with the girls to for a Barbeque Steamboat dinner last night. Yummy :). I can safely say i've had adequete experience in eating barbeque steamboat, so i present to you ...

Lisa's tips to the Barbeque Steamboat dinner

1. Go easy on the steamboat stuff. From experience, most of us just go straight to the barbeque part. Steamboat fills you up too fast and it doesnt taste as good as the barbequed stuff.

2. If you take it, eat it. So if some smart dude decides to cook ten hu-wans he'd sure better be eating at least half of em. Saves you the trouble of having to hide the food with tissue paper so they dont fine you for wastage.

3. Always peel and marinade prawns before cooking. Better still, throw em into the steamboat soup to get sea food tom yam.

4. You can never use too much butter.

5. Stand up while you eat. You save your face from getting burnt and you get to eat alot more cos your food digests faster. Besides, just looks much more hip n happening when you have ten people standin around a table waving chopsticks around.

6. cant finish you food? Put a little in each bowl and cover with balls of tissue paper (looks like you put your used tissue in the bowls). Or, look around for the friendly cat and feed.

7. Never take the mee. Why waste stomach space?

8. Eat alot, and talk alot at the same time. Thats the chinese way ...

8. Dont bother trying to be neat and polite and hygenic. You cant. If it drops, pick it up and continue to eat as if nothing happened. Remember the five second rule. Why waste good food??

9. Dont bother washing your hair before you go, and always try to wear something dark (never white). No matter which direction the wind is blowing in, you will definitely leave reeking of barbeque. And oil will always splatter. Be prepared to get scalded.

10. You paid good money for all that so walk away feeling content. Then, walk around the car for ten minutes before actually getting in it and driving off to prevent heartburn.

Raise you chopsticks and enjoy!

Coming soon .. essential things every DJ should know .. compiled from the resources of the EBB :)

I will be off to Lang Tengah this week with my baby. And to bump into ishuet along with her family and her boy, who are already there. For those of you who dont know, Lang Tengah is the island situated between Redang and Perhentian. In Terengganu ( no tank tops and short shorts - PAS ? ). Off to bask in the sun, snorkel in the clear waters and become a beach bum. Ahhhhhh... pure bliss.

Photos will be up if i look good :)

Yummy

Finally... after so long.. after the countless cravings...

I ate my Maggi Ayam Tambah Telur Atas!!!

Stupid, I know.. But I've missed my Maggi so, so much. Sigh. My craving is sated. For now. Had myself a nice big bowlful yesterday. And i would have finished every drop of the yummy soup if not for the horrified glances of the girls at my table. "You're not going to drink all that???? Think of the ajinomoto... Your hair will drop out, think of your kidneys..bla bla bla " Oh well.. its only once in a while, right?

I drank most of the soup up anyway.

I have figured come up with a theory why drunk drivers die in accidents. Its not just cos their reflexes are shot after a night of boozing, its the speed. Yup, speed kills. When you've had a little too much to drink, everything floats by you in slo-mo. So even if you're driving around at 110 on a normal road, youd never know it.

Not that i did it, you know..

The journey ends

With the end of my training comes mixed feelings.

Relief - Thank god its finally over
Joy - Finally! I can go out, i have time to myself and i dont have to wake up at 7.30 in the morning anymore. Oh, and i dont have to walk around in the sun anymore.

But

Theres also a tinge of .. i dont know..sadness?? I will miss the trainees i've been working with. The makan sessions, the ronda Tesco sessions, the ronda Penang sessions, the sit-in-Popular-and-read-magazines sessions, the making-sneaky-phone-calls-from-the-office-during-lunchtime sessions (okay, so only the girls did that), the pretend-to-look-busy-while-talking sessions, the hide-in-the-guardhouse-or-canteen sessions..alot of things to look back on and smile. And I will in a way miss the workers, yes, they are very nice to us .. my boss and his neverending stories..The fruit fiestas we have in the office (think 30 durians, 3 crates of rambutans, mangosteens).. the KFC tea times, the Pelita breakfasts, the McDonald ice creams..Though I'm glad its ended (finally) I dont regret going.

The road less travelled

I like taking drives on a long, clear road.

With just me in the car and a stack of good chillout music to keep me company. I could go on forever.

I'm not heading to anywhere in particular, just driving. And driving. Going on and on to nowhere. Feels good, y'know? I dont know what im leaving behind, or where im going, but it feels good.

Just to be getting somewhere. Leaving something behind, going forward to something new.. Just going.

Too bad petrol is now 1.52 a litre. This expensive habit can only be saved for the rainy days.

Did anyone realise that this is still Penang? Cos i didnt :). Somewhere in Balik Pulau, when a lunch break turned into a 3 hour 'long kai'. Im at the top of a hill, at restaurant. I think its called the view? Pretty nice place, with a great breeze. So if you're really bored, go look for it. If youre using a really old car though, take my advice and walk up. Unless you want to risk sliding down 100 meters, which is what we almost did. This is what bored and lazy trainees do, when work is about to end. We went on impulse to Balik Pulau, where one of the trainee lives. To eat durians (she has her own dusun) and rambutans and pineapples and mangosteens etc etc. Pineapples do NOT grow like potatoes. I didnt know that either. There is no such thing as a pineapple tree.

Psychotic

I was bored at work.

Wait a minute, im downright sick of work. Especially with all the trainees gone.

Sigh

This is what you do when you're bored.

You Are 50% Normal(Somewhat Normal)

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

I was right all along. Im weird. Oh well.. goddesses cant be normal, can we?

hahahhahhha.
Oh, by the way... i just fell in love with this word.

Psychotic

Dont you think?? Psychotic bitch, psychotic dude, psychotic cat... so many uses...

Musical Baton

I know, i know.. it took that long to get this done. But when you no longer have a wifi spot and the pc runs on windows 98 with no speakers.. how can you pass on a musical baton when you cant here anything?? Right??

Anyway, here goes...

Total volume of music on my computer:
Wait.. lemme count .. 2.14GB plus another 3.28GB OH MY THATS A DAMN TOTAL OF 5.42GB!!!Now i really have to sit down and go through all my music files.. i doubt i've even heard all of them more than five times. Damn, thats alot of space taken up..

Last Cd purchased:
Cant remember.. would've have been years ago. I am a staunch supporter of piracy and praise the dude who invented the cd burner. Why spend forty bucks buying a cd when i only want twelve out of the eighteen songs? Why not spend a dollar on a blank cd, rip and burn whatever you want and take that extra thirty nine bucks to keep your belly full for the rest of the week.. logical right??? HAIL BLANK CDS AND DVD BURNERS!!! The last time i bought a cd was when i was sixteen. Before the age of cd burners, and before the age of broadband - Red Hot CHilli Peppers : Californiacation

Song playing right now:
The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979. My taste in music is very varied. Dig deep enough into my hard drive, you'll find everything ranging from Michael Buble to Four Strings to Frank Sinatra to Travis. From Christina Aguilera to Sarah Maclachlan, Diana Krall to Green Day and Oasis...chillout music to anime themes... anything goes. Maybe thats why i have so much music ... hmmm..

Five songs that mean alot to me:
Okay.. this is hard.. ummm...in no particular order:1)Alanis Morissette - Ironic. I dont know why, but i just love this song. Maybe the earliest songs you know make the most impact? But i just like the fact that its well so... ironic:)
Old man, just turned ninty eight; won a lottery, then died the next day;
Its a death row pardon, two minutes too late.
And isnt it ironic?? Dont you think??

2)Puddle of Mudd - Blurry / System of a Down - Chop Suey. Reminds me of the mad days i had back in sixth form with the girls and the guys, but mostly with Terri and Vila. We were a category of our own. I can now look back and laugh.

3)Green Day - Time of Your Life.
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

This would basically be my thinking right now. If it wasnt, id have jumped off the uni library during my first sem.

4) Leanne Rimes - Soon. At least, i think thats the title. I was going through a rough patch, and it did NOT help that Mix Fm played sappy love songs every night. I remember the lyrics when something like i'll have shed my last tear soon, I'll get over you soon, i'll make it throught the night without you soon..(independent, huh?)..till you realise she's singing 'soon as the mountains turn to rivers, soon as the seas turn into sand, soon as the sun comes up at midnight', thats how soon. And till then, i'll just pretend that i'm okay and wait for that someday soon. Damn, its a phobic song. Think sit by the radio pathetically in tears. So if you're miserable, dont listen to mix fm cos it will probably make you feel worse.

5) Frank Sinatra - LOVE. I just like it, and i like his voice. Called me old fashioned, im a Frank Sinatra person. And im still waiting for the rest of my V'day song....

Five people im passing the baton to:
Jon
Drey
Michelle
Justin
My brother. which is doubtful he ever will, but hey might as well give it a try.

There you are, Tzelin.. the musical baton, successfully carried on. Cheers!

Milk good for health??

Heres a rather nasty shock to the system. Early this morning before going to work, i poured myself my usual bowl of cereal and milk. I noticed that someone hadnt shut the fridge door properly, so figured the milk wouldnt be cold enough, no biggie, i can survive. But nothing perpared me for the intensely rude shock i got when i shovelled the first large spoonful into my mouth and then realised that the milk had gone sour. OH MY. If you've never had a big mouthful of sour milk, you will never know how bad it tastes. I obviously didnt swallow, just kept it in my mouth till i could get to a sink and spit it out. But it smelt and tasted just too bad. When i spit out my mouthful of cereal, the twisties i ate last night came out with it.

UGH. I dont ever want to go near milk again. Lesson : Even milk in an unopened carton can be sour. STAY AWAY FROM MILK! I did not need such a bad taste in my mouth so early in the day. Sigh..

Oh by the way... im in the office.. secretly going online while everyone has gone for lunch. Sixteen more days to go.. MUahahahahahha

OMFG

Yes, i have work tomorrow. Yes, i know its late. Yes, im still awake.

Because my hairdryer wont work. Everybody knows that you cant sleep in an air conditioned room with your hair wet. And if you didnt know, i bet your mum knows. Or your grandmother. Cos i've heard it often enough from everybody. So im heeding the advice about head colds and bone aches and im sittin out here at two in the morning waiting for my head to dry.

OMFG, im so bloody tired now. Actually, ive been bloody tired since last week. To the point where walking on the under construction second floor of my site project gave me such a bad feeling of nausea/vertigo i felt like falling off the building. Which would have been a bad thing cos 1)there would be an awful big mess to clean up and 2)my mom only gets 50 grand from IJM, and i think im definitely worth more than that. I will stay away from the edges.

I need to get a new phone. Im currently using a borrowed relic from the past. An ancient Nokia 3310. Remember the times when it was such an in thing?? Yea, well.. its sad to have a phone that doesnt fit into my pocket anymore, and rattles - i believe there is something loose inside, im only hoping that it wont explode while im on it.

I need a new phone, dammit!!And i want to eat my maggi goreng ayam tambah telur atas.

My project manager has gone to Europe for holidays.. with his whole family. He unfortunately doesnt take temporaroly adoptive kids. The guy he left behind in charge is a bitch.

I am Princess Leia?

Take the quiz: "What Star Wars Character Are You?"

Leia Organa
You are hot headed and very stubborn.

Yes, i was bored.

So apparently im a Princess Leia. Or i could have been Darth Vader.(??)Or Lando Calrissian. The Princess Leia with the two buns on her head. In the little slave bikini.

So, does anyone find it hot??

I have yet to get my ATM cards. Had to go all the way to town to get my ic done (which took like forever) then i stopped on the way at the nearest Public Bank, which made me wait. And wait. Then sent me to the branch where my account came from. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOODY ISLAND. Anyway, bla bla bla, got my license done, bla bla bla... went all the way to the other side of the island, sat on my ass for another half an hour and guess what. They tell me i need my birth cert!!!I dont even know the last time i touched the bloody thing.

Yes, i am officially broke.

SHIT.

I hope he gets run over by a lorry

This is exactly what is going through my head right now.

%*&^*@#$%

Was on my way to gurney, after having parked the car at our usual spot by the field. College Square, or Lebuhraya Maktab as some call it.Anyway, terri, see mun and i were on our way to gurney plaza for dinner when some fuckin bastard came from behind me on a bloody motorbike and snatched my bag. MY BAG. My bag, with my wallet and my handphone and my lip balm and an assortment of some other junk. The bag was a present, the wallet was a present, the tissue paper holder was a present. Im only thankful my camera wasnt in there as well. MY BAG. On the day i had my phone in it, on a day i actually had cash in it. Heres what you call shock - i dont recall it hapenning, i dont recall how it got snatched, i only remember the bastard riding off with it. And when i got to the police station in Pulau Tikus, my hands were still shaking. I now wish i had known what was happening, and given the bike a good kick.

&$(*##@!

There goes a perfectly good phone with a perfectly good digi line in it, a rather new wallet with my ic, license, atm cards, insurance cards, membership cards, photos, and CASH. Close to a hundred bucks. And when youre a student on a budget, its a hundred bucks i cant afford to lose.

Im still spitting curses in my head, and i hope he gets run over by a lorry. Of all the nerve. On minute i was holding my bag, the next minute it was gone. He yanked way too hard, i couldnt hold on, though i tried. And the fucker had the nerve to turn around and look back as he rode of with my bag. I hope he gets run over by an excavator.

Anyway, it took me almost two hours a file a bloody police report. Shows just how great our Malaysian police system is. Had to file one report at the district police station, who took forever to type it out, sell me a copy for four bucks and then send me over to the main police HQ in Patani Road. Where i had to wait another half an hour for someone to attend to me, and to retake my statement. Which he handwrote, and reasked me everything. Then he ran out of paper, so he counldt print out the letter until whoever it was whom he called came back with paper. So efficient.

I started out hungry on the way to dinner, completely lost my appetite after my bag got snatched. By the time the i finished (finally) making a report, i was about to die of hunger.

Only other news of interest : Went to watch a movie yesterday along with Chai, Terri, See Mun and Yu Ming. I have learnt a sneaky new way to obtain really good movie seats when the cinemas fully booked.

Highly recommended - watch it and laugh your self silly.

Two More Days

I managed to get onto my not so free wifi spot and this is what is found:

This pic captured my eye. The photo managed to show the contrast between the poor and the rich. The kid that gets his shoes shined and the baby asleep on the back of his mother who shines the shoes. The fat little sitting in the chair and the sleeping baby who might never have to luxury of drinking a big bottle of pepsi. The sad part? The chance of the little sleeping baby crossing over to the higher society isnt that high. Guess life isnt always that rosy.

More food for thought. Look at the determination in her face, the amount of effort he has to put in, the willingness for them to work together and not give up. Take away the superficial layer and the materialistic edge away from life as we know it, maybe this is what love is.

Two more days and there will only be three of us trainees left. Yup. Girl 1 has sucessfully completed her training and leaving us while the three of us are left behind. Sigh. I first stepped into the office not knowing what to expect, but im glad i met her and im sorry to see her go. Who knew that the four of us, from different parts of Malaysia, would meet here in IJM and get along so well to the extent that we skip work together, plan to meet up again, eat ice cream together and just hang out.. Do all sorts of nonsense together, shop together, drink coffee, eat nasi lemak, take wiered photos...
I guess this training will definitely be something i wont forget.

Sniff Sniff

Oh hell.. Im sick. Managed to wheedle out a holiday from my boss for all of us for Monday (Its supposed to be a replacement for Wesak Day; unfortunately not all holidays are recognised by construction workers. FYI, Wesadk Day celebrates the day Buddha was born, died and found enlightenment) unfortunately i somehow managed to contract a flu.

What started out as a sore throat on Saturday morning - i thought it was the effect of too much barbeque steamboat turned into a full blown flu by Sunday which has dragged on till today. So much for a holiday. So much for going out all day. I have a fever, a splitting headache, a nose that switches between runny and stuffed, a sore throat, a cough, watery eyes... the list goes on. In short, i have a flu. Arrgghhh. Whats the point of being sick when you cant take an off day cos youre already off??????

Sorry, I get really really unmanageable when i get sick. I want Jon...

Look before You Leap

Was browsing through my photos and found this. Taken a couple of years ago, when most of us we were still in school. Since form five, its been a ritual to go up to Mt Pleasure every year.

Today, the Pajero was here. So we snuck out (begged a staff actually) to let us follow him out to the admin centre. Maybe our pathetic faces were really effective cos he agreed and took us for a spin.

Went to admin. Nothing interesting there.

Went to a highway project. The second phase of the Jelutong Expressway. And once again, i prove just how little i look before i leap. It was extremly muddy (think reclaimed land that still sinks and springs back up everytime a lorry drivers over it) and girl 1 was without her safety shoes. So we were looking for the best way to get to the other side of the site where boy is (he doesnt care about his shoes and pants) when i spotted mounds of earth piled up along the side of the site. So i figured, hey thats not muddy and it runs all the way to the other side..maybe we can go through there. So i went and stepped into it. Big mistake. It felt a little mucky, like it wasnt solid. But i fiugred, hey it can hold my weight. Sort of. So i took a few tentative steps. Bigger Mistake. Think QUICKSAND. My whole bloody foot sank in till my ankle.. So i panicked and tried to hop out. Yet another mistake. My other food sank into the mud past my ankle (Oh, my shoes and jeans). I didnt know what to do so i made the split second decision to jump out of the muck. WIthout looking. And landed into a puddle of watery muck. I have no luck. The more careful girl 2 was behind me, where the earth was still relatively solid and the even more cautious girl 1 was standing firmly on land analyzing the situation. The rest of that evening, my feet were really really heavy. Black mud caked onto my shoes up to the ankles. Ewwww..

And all that happened in less the 2 minutes. Major embarrasment especially since there were workers right next to where i was. Only positive thing i can think of is at least i provide plenty of entertainment.

Mosquito Musketeer

Our so called work. This is what we do, when we're bored and we just have to get out of the office. We run wild around the site taking photos in pretence of actually doing something.

There are four of us trainees running around the site so the safety guard (we call him uncle safety) whom we were having a little chat with this evening has taken to calling us the four musketeers. With boy as the bad musketeer. Anyway, chinky china boy (he's a very nice boy though) has never heard of a musketeer, he doesnt know what one is and never came across the word before. So he was going like what?? mosquito?? what four mosquitos?? im not a bad mosquito...

The two of us laughed till our sides were about to crack and i was about to pee in my pants.

The 'bad mosquito'

Back to The Start

If you've noticed the posts are becoming rather sporadic its would be because someone has blocked me off the wifi spot. It wont accept my DNS add. Damn.

Its been a magical weekend. Nothing big, nothing special, but great. My baby has come.. and gone.. and its back to a new week of work. If you can call it work.

I've drunk three huge packets of milo today, which was quite an effort cos i dont like milo. And my stomach is now on the verge of bursting, filled with way, waay too much milo, and waay to much junk. Girl 1 was on sick leave today, so that left me and girl 2 (the rather lazy ones) and boy (he got his semangat back, so hes really enthusiastic now, damn). So we did alot of sitting today - at the office, in the guard house, at the canteen, at the little stall near the gard house, in the shade.. Anyway, for some reason today we've been offered lotsa free drinks.

Meal 1 : i went to the site canteen wth girl 2 and boy (standard) where i took my little packet of nasi lemak, not intending to drink anything. Then my site supervisor came along and went 'aiyo, not drinking anything ah?? come la, go get a drink..' . Then he buys milo. Okay, im thankful, i can live with a packet of milo.

Meal 2 : We did a little exploring and walked round the site. Then girl 2 and i decided to sit (too damn hot) at the guard house. Where we meet the guard.. who then decides to feed us some more at the little stall where he's havin breakfast. I TRIED to decline.. i said ive eaten, im not hungry, im not thirsty, its okay ..... didnt work. I ended up with another HUGE packet of milo. Which i drank till im sure i turned green.

Meal 3 : Lunchtime at the office - someone went to pangkor and brought dried cuttle fish.. which once again we ate. When i wasnt planning to eat anymore.

Meal 4 : girl and i walking around the site. Worker comes up to us with a plastic bag and gives it to us and says 'for you all'. We obviously say no thanks, its okay, we dont want it to which he replies 'if you dont want then i'll have to throw it away'. No choice.. another two big packets of milo and a packet of pisang goreng. Oh man. On a day im not even hungery.

Meal 5 : We go back to the office and someone just brought two bags of some chinese pastry. And we had to each have some (polite, you know?) cos these older people think all young people need food. And lots of it. OMG I CANT WALK ANYMORE.

I am never going to drink milo again. Most people lose weight when they start work.. stress, busy lifestyle bla bla bla.. Im pretty sure youre not supposed to gain more weight. Something doesnt seem right...

Things I Bet you Did Not Know

Did you know that one cement mixer truck can hold up to 5 cubic meters if concrete? And that it costs RM750 per truck? Or that fourteen twelve meter thirty two millimeter diameter bars weigh slighlty over a tonne. Bet you didnt.. Bet you also didnt know that a concrete nail is made of steel and that all vehicles leaving a construction site must have their wheels washed??Didnt think so.

This is what ive been learning. Though what relevence it is to me at the moment i have yet to find out.. but as my boss says, its all part of training and i'll thank him someday, cos no other training sites will bother to teach this much. But then again, he also says I talk alot (pandai cakap) and that im happy go lucky (im a first year student, im supposed to be happy, arent i?) so yea... Five more weeks to go and counting. I dont know whether to feel happy or sad. Happy cos i'll finally be free, sad cos it would mean the end of my hols. Whatever it is, i'll miss the mad times the four of us trainees had together.

Shit. He's too tired to call. I dont know whether its just my imagination or does this seem to happen really often?? Maybe i should start keeping track. Then I would have some sort of concrete proof and there will be no need for an argument, i can reason it out in my head. Or maybe i just shouldnt bother and go out more. Hmmm.. the possibilities are endless. Right now, going out more seems like the best option. Seems like its been ages since i had a good chill. Seems like ages since i had a good anything. A good meal, a good nights sleep, a good time, a good chat up with my girls, a good mamak session, a good starbucks session, a good workout.. Then again, when you do nothing but work nine hours a day, six days a week with limited social contact, you tend to lose your sanity somewhat.

Screw everything.

In five weeks time, i'll be let loose. Its time to stay up all night and paint the town red before i settle back into the routine of being Lisa, the wiered, lazy, messed up hair and perpetually late for class deans list student that cant speak Chinese yet is a Chinese. And may not be on the deans list for much longer. Once again, I'm gonna say screw it. Nothing will stop me from enjoying whats left of my hols.

Two more days till the my much awaited Sunday. Maybe tomorrow we'll go to Tesco to waste yet some more time. It rained this morning when we were on the site. For lack of anything to do, and cos we are lazy bums anyway, se ran across to tesco and spent the afternoon there :). I think im a bad influence.

New Number

ANNOUNCEMENT : I have changed my phone number

Yup.. picked up my new number yesterday.. pretty funky number too .. so you can now drop me a line at

0164455636

Been a rather busy few weeks..been running short on sleep for the past couple of days ( ten hours in two days?!? ). Hate workin saturdays. This whole hols has been a rather dissappointing one so far.. or maybe its cos it just doesnt seem like a holiday at all. I get less rest than in uni. In uni, you can at least skip classes when you need to sleep.. or when you dont feel like going. Down here, no such thing. Shit, i get up earlier now than i did during term time. Sigh. Lost what little drive i had to work. Seems the other three of em feel the same way though - we spent this afternoon sittin in KFC
