finally made jelly !! red & yellow (pineapple) :D tasty tasty ... ! i hope. i know one can't really go wrong with making jelly, but i think i might have used the wrong containers to make em in. ohwell.

i hate it the most when you walk into a toilet cubicle and find unflushed waste in the bowl. it's so disgusting and i always wonder why people don't bother checking whether their waste has been completely flushed or not. i guess just cos i do it doesn't mean everyone else does to, but still ! you should !! thought of this today because i've been getting nice surprises in public toilets, or maybe that's just a sign ... ewwww.

also,
on Australian Idol just now, the judges were raving about this girl whose voice apparently was wonderful. but when she sang the song that got her in to the next round, i just couldn't believe it! her voice was weak, whiny & she looks so annoying (a show pony, as lynne would say). gosh, she was just awful.

OK that's all i had to rant about.

a night at Mambo - Back to School ...
(three posts in one day, woo!)

i know i know, i haven't updated in a while ...
unfortunately ever since the fun-filled weekend ended, there hasn't been anything exciting going on.

the most amusing thing i saw today though, was the old ladies who work in the Ref with party hats on. it's just funny cos they don't usually smile very much, yet they had these little colourful party hats on. i thought it was rather festive.

oh and there's this girl in my linguistics classes who's always making out with her boyfriend, whether it's standing outside the lecture room waiting to go in or it's at the kebab shop waiting to order/collect food. anyhoo, today she sat in front of me in the lecture & i discovered that she wears granny panties (of the lacy variety) !!! it's so awful. if you're wondering how i found this out, she was leaning on the desk and her undies were peaking out from her high-waisted jeans (from which there was much spillage).

ahh, another eventful day at uni ...

i have zero motivation to finish my chinese assignment even though it's due tmr. i'm actually at the last section of the assignment and i have to write a 700 word essay, but i'm stuck ! i seem to have lost the ability to construct cohesive sentences in mandarin. AHHHH, someone help me, please.

kind of sucks knowing that i have to finish this by tonight, but just can't seem to think of anything good to write. working from 8-12.30pm tmr ... so i'll have to go hand it in some time in the afternoon.

i've got quite an eventful weekend coming up though:
- whyetatt's 21st tmr night
- work from 8-5pm on saturday, jeremy & fern's birthday dinner after that
- volunteering for city 2 surf early sunday morning, stoo's birthday 'beer & moustache party' in the evening.

quite excited about city 2 surf and hopefully it'll be fine this year. don't really enjoy getting completely drenched in a very over-sized t shirt. great that i'm not running though ! i would volunteer any day. good luck to Yas though :) i'm sure he'll do fine (run Yathy, run!).

ok i think it's time to get back to chinese, maybe i'll get some tea first.
you can never go wrong with tea with milk& sugar :D

amusing ourselves at Mr Ken ...



the intervals between each segment were so long and they tried to make it more interesting by having some 'games' ... it was another way of flogging off crappy-looking presents wrapped in dodgy-floral-printed wrapping paper.

the mc was probably the worst person they could have selected. mostly because she couldn't actually pronounce words very well. she had this lisp and to make matters worse, she had this indo-type accent. but i think she was the most entertaining part of the night!

a memorable quote : "both get gift !!" (after one of the 'games', where apparently everyone was a winner so there wasn't actually a point to the 'game').
she also said the gifts were from Chic & Chic, except what we heard was CHICKEN SHIT being screamed repeatedly, hehehe.

another memorable moment was when these girls were asked who they think would win and why. this particular girl who went up said she thought that JM would win. when asked why, she said "winner!" HAHAHAHA. gotta love fobs.

oh and the indo girl holding the prizes had these black sequins stuck on her forehead so it looked like it was one massive mole from far way. we only discovered that they were sequins cos we saw her standing not too far from us during the course of the night. and the entire time i was thinking: if you had a mole that large, wouldn't you get it surgically removed ?!!
(cos i do know of someone who has done that - this girl from my pri & sec school had this huge-ass mole on her face and she eventually got it surgically removed as it was the butt of many jokes)

some guys were ok, but the others were just horrible.
# there was one particular one who resembled a sexual predator, as in he had that kind of i-would-touch-you-many-times look
# another one had a nipple ring which made him even more unattractive
# one guy whose name was Romeo was everything but (i.e. scrawny, had an odd mouth and he was always chewing gum)
# a guy whom i thought was pretty hot, until he appeared in white jocks which showed how prominent his *ahems* were.
# haha oh and this guy who wore the wrong type of underwear. he was dressed up as a baseball player, so he had these weird silver silky pants on. anyhoo, he was obviously wearing boxers cos you could see his taters moving as he walked & there was even this little flap-type-thing going on. ewww. it was gross.

as you can tell, there were very few ok ones ... lol.
but i cant even tell you who won cos we didn't stick around to see the result. it got too tiresome towards the end so we left right after the last segment - the sleepwear one.

ok! well that was a very long entry. it was longer than i intended anyway, think i'm gonna go to bed soon. the beer i had at Belgian Beer Cafe has made me very very sleepy. although i'm quite proud of myself for surviving an entire day of work on about 5 hrs of sleep.
ok goodnight.

phonetic transcription gives me a great big headache ... i don't like it very much.

photos from when we went to eat korean ...


with julie & cherman


me & my bi bim bup


"the best pearls in the world!" says cherman. eric & i at tea fusion after dinner.

work was alrite today ...
i always don't mind working morning shifts cos it's mostly old people who are really nice and cute (but sometimes weird-smelling).

my plan for the rest of the afternoon is to try to finish off my phonetics assignment then nap. napping is especially lovely when it's rainy & cold :D

hey, ho! let's go!

a million angry growls to slow internet connection ... i can't even check my gmail cos it seems to time out after a while. speaking of which, blogger is all different. it probably has been that way for a while, it's just that i haven't logged in since.

this weekend will be not much of a weekend.
time to get through some assignments and early starts at work, not-so-yay :(

there are some things to yay about though ...
# bought a hairdryer & a pair of jeans (which turned out to be 15% less than the original price!) whoop-tee-doo! quite happy i managed to find what i wanted.

# possibly going to watch the Mr. Ken pageant tmr, lol. can't believe i'm going, but i guess when else would you get the chance to see men prancing around proudly on stage with make-up on. in case you were wondering (although you probably weren't), Mr Ken is the male version of that idiotic female beauty pageant Miss Barbie. Oh these asians, they're so original, aren't they? *cough* the only other good thing is that julie has offered to drive, so yay ... !

feeling pretty sleepy so i'll probably go to bed soon.
gots to wake up for work tmr! 8am - 12.30pm ... thank god i get to go home just as it gets busy.

**p.s. there'll be some photos up soon. just gotta get them off people.

fucking perth drivers !!
(not all, just some)
as i was turning into the driveway of our house, i got honked by the freakin white camry behind me. i don't really understand why, cos i signalled that i was turning right AND i moved to the centre of the road so that the woman behind would have space to overtake me - which she did, then HONKED at me.

and then, all these people who take so long to turn at the traffic light. if you want to know how long one of them took to turn: the light was still green when i crossed the white line, stayed green for quite a while more & then it turned amber while i was still turning.

this same driver (in a red excel) was also going at 40 when it wasn't even at the school zone yet, then just below 30 when it was the school zone.

stupid people like that make me so angry.

smart-ass mature age students who purposely use fancy terminology and constantly refer to their children ("that's my boy!") also make me angry, but then again, most of them are like that.

quite a sickening day at uni ... the best part was lunch, as usual. oh lunch, my favourite-st part of the school day!
i think the day was mostly sickening because i received 2 assignments (both due next week) and i found out that i have to do a tute presentation with a girl i don't even like.

ahhwell, dinner tonight will be fun. seems like a while since i've had a meal with julie.
say it with me now: bulgogi!

in other news: prince harry got caught groping a girls' boobs in a club, haha. when i read that i chuckled, mostly because the girl who owns those (round and fake-looking) boobs was described as a "blonde party girl" and the headline read 'Dirty Harry'. but i suspect harry will be in trouble as his gf is away ... oooooo.

watch out everyone: GALE FORCE WINDS!!!!

some photos from mum & dad's 25th anniversary ...
(it was in july, btw)




obligatory nose-picking photo


lynne trying to be a wine enthusiast


dont know why but it only uploaded halfway, ohwell. you can still see our faces ... yas looks unprepared, haha.


lynne and stoo


the silly ones


sexy yet shy, heh heh.


a toast to our parents


bulby and me

time for bed,
work tmr ... hopefully i can sneak out at 6pm, don't really want to stay until 6.30pm returning stock and all. grr, grr and more grrr.

oh and there was this really bad accident near charles st today. not entirely sure what happened but i'm sure it'll be in the news tmr. sure hope nobody died ... the car was completely wrecked though. eeeks.

ok, nighty night!

the strokes were really good !!
(i refuse to use the word awesome)
Fab's hair grew back and he has all this facial hair. don't quite dig the oddly placed facial hair, but he looked nice! it was also amusing how Julian's voice kind of started to sound really croaky towards the end.
and even though i have forgotten their name, the support band was also good :)

the only thing bad about the night was being completely squished in the mosh pit. the worst part is that most of the people doing the squishing were these underage twats, who were kind of bigger than us smaller-sized asians. i was expecting to get squished, but not that badly.
bahh, i loathe underaged kids who behave older than they are. oooo look at me, i'm drinking beer while waiting in the queue ... i'm such a rebel.

ANYHOOO,
today was quite a pleasant day, so no complaints there.
i always enjoy fridays ... fridays are good.

we are going to see the strokes tmr !!!
oh me, oh my. it is truly exciting !

this is completely unrelated, but my glasses used to fall off whenever i looked down (cos the sides were too loose). now that i've gotten them tightened, it feels quite strange ... and tight.

i've always thought 'dancing on ice' was a tacky show. i know it takes a certain amount of skill and talent to dance on ice like that, but everything about the show itself is so tacky - the music, costumes & set. having said all this, it's really hard not to watch the show ... heh heh.

haven't listened to Lectopias (formerly known as i-Lectures) in a long time, so i'm quite proud that i've done so. now i can do other stuff without feeling guilty, woo!

ok teevee time.

the chemistry building at uni is being demolished and it's just really funny because all the guys who walk past seem to find it very interesting. they just stand there watching either with their mouths agape or smiling ... hahah. it's just amusing.

went to eat Nandos with my sisters and then had ice cream at Baskin Robbins. just as we were turning into our driveway, the rain got so heavy and the roads were all flooded. i don't believe we've had this much rain in a long time ...
despite our clever plan, we still got wet going into the house :(

this seems to be perfect weather for some hot tea & cake! yumm.

i AM going to watching The Boy from Oz !!!!!
another show was added and mum decided to book tickets for the whole family :D
go Hugh, go !

oh and on the way home from uni today, there was a massive traffic jam on the freeway because of an accident. while waiting for cars to move, i noticed this huge rainbow across the grey sky - twas very pretty. haven't seen such a big rainbow in a while.

hmm yes, that was one of the nicest parts of today.

yeap, got that right ...
