Update ppl, update.
the exams start next week, tuesday for my 1st paper, and yes, i a, still not confident for it. went to the griffith southbank campus today to get some notes from Jae and to study. not too bad actually, but the 10am sun was alrd so unbearable, i regretted waxing my hair.
I HATE MY HAIR! so damn thick, make my perspire like hell. nvm. reached uni, went to library, cooled down, started work.
until 330.
did quite a bit today, quite happy with my accomplishments.
BUT.
me feeling hungry so i decided to go to the city to dapow lunch/tea/dinner
so, instead of walking back home via the shorter way, the QUT bridge, i walked all the way to the other bridge just so i would bein the city after crossing. the sun, wasnt that bad.
i thought, hmm, why not have oporto chicken? ok, wintergarden have a stall. oh wait, no money. so had to go to myer to use the atm.
and that was just about when the escalator ate my slipper.
yes, the escalator ate my slipper.
dont believe?
see? kena eaten. jia. makan. FUCK.
i was taking the escalator up to the 2nd floor to get to the atm. and just when i was about to alight from the escalator at its pinnacle, i felt a huge tug and was thrown off balance forward.
the tip of my fricking crocs got caught in the fricking teeth of the escalator.
CAUGHT!
and got stuck. so i pressed the emergency stop button and started yanking like crazy, pulling THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SLIPPER. ok, that wasnt too bad.
until this well-intentioned woman, stopped by to say "Here! lemme help u." and she yanked my slipper AT THE STRAP.
see the difference?
my strap snapped instantly.
well-intentioned, yes. but still. sigh.
ya know, at the instant she reached for the strap, time went real slow-mo. my mouth silently opened in a NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO expression and my eyes went as big as 0.0
and she was smiling and having the "oh dun worry" look on her face.
then piak.
sigh.
damn dulan alrd. and there was no way to reverse the damn escalator direction. so i yanked (this time harder cos i sibeh dulan) and tore away the rest of the slipper not eaten. and then i had to walk, 1 foot on slipper and the other on floor, to the information counter on the next level to inform security abt the esclator.
so. talked to the info counter lady, she radioed security, they fixed the escalator, and they came back up to debrief me. asked if my foot was injured (nope), took down my address, fone number, details, price of slippers, they took a pic of the slippers, then they reassured me that they'll get back to me abt this. then i borrowed sone tape from the counter to tape the strap.
now, at this point in time, because i was so frustrated and kanchiong when my slipper got stuck, i was sweating. hmm, more like my forehead was sweating angrily.
and no thanks to that lady who pulled the strap, even as i taped it back, it was not elongated and the slipper felt 3 sizes too big. so i trudged back to the 2nd floor, got the damn money from the atm, then walked to wintergarden. on the way back, the tape wore off.
fuck.
trudged back to the myer basement to the cobbler and got the strap superglued and taped.
got back home, fuckign aircon not working again. blowing warm air. i really dulan until numb alrd. went to shower, and the shower decided to gush out really hot water in mid shower for 2 seconds, when so coincidentally, was when i was under the showerhead.
got out, ate lunch, and the chicken was so gucking spicy there was chilli oil at the base of the plate.
now my head on fire, and my stomach on fire. tonight my asshole on fire.
dun feel like studying for the rest of the day alrd. fuck.

Hello all!
i know, it's been a while, AGAIN
whats up?
oh nothing much.. i had a rather enjoyable birthday dinner with the sg gang, had dinner at singapura! nice food, the hainanese chicken was rather authentic tasting, so was the rest of the food we ordered.. and the gang even got me a tiramisu (correct spelling?) cake! too bad the pics are scattered in kuan's cam and aimi's cam. note to self, get pics before aimi goes back to japan.
i've finally got a couple of assignments off my back so far, and i've gotten results back from the previous ones. i did ok i guess, for a couple of subjects i wasnt that keen on taking in the 1st place this sem. ah well. 2nd note to self, dun get electives u end up disliking (again).
summer's almost here and the heat is on. literally. afternoons are killers, but early mornings and evenings arent too bad, at least they're chilly. in the late mornings and afternoons, the houseflies come out to fricking roam man. wanna fricking catch all the damn houseflies, put them in a big giant bag, then throw the darn thing into the ocean tied to a concrete block. drown dammit. drown.....
anyhoo. my self-imposed break ends tmr, then i'll start cracking on the last assignment for this sem (damn you ecological report!)and can finally get my ass on studying for exams.
ah well.

the best thing this sem happened within the timeframe of this and the previous blog post..
G came to visit, and it was the best 2 weeks of my life.
hugging and being hugged,
snuggling and being snuggled,
loving and being loved
those 2 weeks really picked me up from the stress from this semester.. and i'm grateful to G for taking the effort to save up for this trip..
i have a really wonderful gurlfriend. =)
sucks to be those who arent me. nyeh heh.
semester 2s are such a drag.
the hols are late, and the exams are fricking waiting with a knife around the corner just waiting to stab you in the armpit..
(pls note, the armpits are one of the most effective pain-inducing areas of the body that cause lingering pains. Other than stabbing the armpit with any sharp object, similar methods include pinching with all your might on someone's underarm fats, pulling hard on rib-cage fats and knuckling the kidneys)
i got to host a dinner at my place today, tried my hand at cooking dinner for 5 people. met alex in the morning today for coffee after his lecture, then went groceries subsequently.. started cooking at 6, but luckily the others were a tad late.. it was really unexpectedly tiring. the preparation, the constant vigilance.
Guys, i know i kinda had a bleak expression on my face jsut now during dinner, i'm really really sorry.. i didnt have the energy left to do things with my usual gusto and vivacy, i wasnt even as hungry as i was before cooking..
but thanks to all of u, those who came, and it's alright to those who couldnt turn up, its ok.. see u tmr night yeah?
i'm just so exhausted..
tmr will be better..
oh look. i just turned 22. =)
