and i would walk 500 more.

well i did it! i walked 10000 steps yesterday. in fact, i walk 81 above the daily healthy goal. HAHA. yes, achievement of the year. i walked 10081 steps yesterday. whee. owing largely to the fact that i finally got out of the house. decided stoning at home for another day was just not healthy and so i went to town. just to walk around for the fun of it. didn't plan on buying anything. yes, i walked to town. yay me. i woke up pretty late and i thought i'd just walk around lygon but when i went out, the weather was pretty good and decided to take a walk.

oh wait. i guess i should explain why i decided to go out in the first place. had decided the day before to go out. but i knew i prolly wasn't going to stick to that decision the next day. but the bolt cutter came in the morning to FINALLY cut the stupid lock on my storage cage, yes it's a cage. and so finally the storage cage could be used and i decided that i might as well go out to get a lock. so yes. therefore i dragged my ass out of the house. just checked google maps and it's a 1.9km walk to QV in town. not bad. i think i walked quite a bit yesterday. i mean, it has to be quite alot if you walk 10000 steps isn't it? i suppose so anyway.

so anyhoos, went to town, got my lock and decided to just window shop a bit here and there. might as well, since i was already in town. went to wittner to see if those leather sandals i liked were still there. no they weren't. boo. and they were 40 bucks now. knew i should have bought them the last time. but then again, nah. save money. i guess. went to rubi shoes to check if the nude ankle boots were on sale yet. no they weren't. and i don't think they'll be going on sale anytime soon. saw my black wedges still selling at original price. and i bought the wedges last year. so yea. maybe i'll go buy the ankle boots one of these days. stepped into dotti. saw this REALLY GORGEOUS teal, er well, coat. it wasn't really a coat. definitely not going to keep you warm in winter. i suppose you could call it a trench coat. ok i can't find it online. unfortunately. but yes. it was really nice. really liked it. it was over a 100bucks though. which i thought really wasn't worth it. if it's not going to keep you warm at all. but it was so gorgeous. argh. the colour was super nice. argh. and i went into forever new as well. and there was this REALLY NICE pair of high waisted harem pants!

ok i know the picture quality is horrible and you can barely make it ok. but it really is very nice. the picture does it no justice. sadly, it's kind of short. as you can see. my legs are too long for my own good. and the bottom is strangely tight. i don't think my lower thighs are that fat right. really weird cutting. but it's still very nice and i really like it. zzzz. it's 80bucks though and i think that's quite a spastic price to pay for pants. actually, on second thought, it's quite ok right? prolly just not a price i'll usually pay i guess. i do like it. maybe i should get it. but pants that are too short look pretty ridiculous in my opinion. zzzz.

so yes, that's basically all the (window) shopping i did yesterday. will go down to dfo another day i guess. when i'm feeling not lazy again. hur hur.

took a different route home. cause i went to laguna to buy some sauces and thought i'd just walk up russell and on to lygon. passed by a pretty interesting sight.

some idiot obviously didn't butt (bud?) out his cigarette properly before throwing it into the bin. when i first saw it across the street, i thought it was some cny thingy burning papers or something. but that didn't really make sense when i thought about it. i don't think you burn hell notes during cny, so ya. and i realised it was a dustbin! it was quite hilarious. and the fire was quite big. it doesn't look it here. bad timing. it was over the top of the bin and everything. and you could smell like "burning" metal. or heated up metal i guess. but there was that funny metallic smell. and this dude was just hilarious, warming his hands. seriously. and so i walked off and the fire engine came! hahahahha.

ok not very good shot, i know. but basically the firemen came. it was just quite hilarious. i don't know why. they put it out like super fast of course. but yea. quite excitings. hahah. i wonder how the fire could go on burning for so long though. maybe when i chanced upon the burning bin it had only just started or something. but yea.

so yes, that pretty much sums up my yesterday. the day before, i went for a walk/jog to carlton gardens. and i passed by this shop with the stupidest sign ever.

ok the stupid picture refuses to orientate properly on photobucket so you'll just have to look at it this way then. but seriously, i wish everything in life could be that easy. like wthhhhhh. stupidest excuse i've heard so far. and yet very funny at the same time.

tomorrow is the international student talk. finally, school is kind of starting. i have no idea what time it is or where it'll be held. my internet is a pain in the ass. i should think it's the internet and not the random website's fault. i hope. like the last 2 nights, i tried to get onto photobucket and i couldn't. the stupid page just wouldn't load. 2 nights in a row! and now, i'm trying to check the important dates for my school and it just won't load! stupid stupid stupid.

ok i think i shall try to figure out the problem or something. stupid damn thing. oh and my itunes is working again. what the hell right. let's hope it stays that way.

when you try your best but you don't succeed

another day spent at home. we actually went out. for like an hour. was planning on watching fantastic mr fox but it wasn't exactly available. so after lunch, at about 1.30pm, we walked about a bit. a bit being going into diva. and that was about it. sat outside hudsons for awhile deciding if we should go somewhere and came home in the end. this extended holiday is turning out to be not as fun as i imagined. bah.

so aussie opens starts today. sharapova lost. first match of the day. not very surprising in my opinion. she's had quite a few early round exits recently is i'm not wrong. murray won, i think. fell asleep after the first set or so. sadly, nadal won. but that was quite obvious. tomorrow's going to be an exciting day! serena, venus, federer. woohoo! sadly, can't be there to watch cause we're selling one of the beds and the person is coming to collect it tomorrow. bah. so now we're waiting for thursday to see how it goes. tickets for the night matches are already sold out. and knowing my luck, federer is prolly playing the night matches. therefore it's sold out. life sucks i swear. i HAVE to watch federer play. i just HAVE to. hopefully, we'll get lucky and federer will once again be playing the morning matches and we'll get to watch him. but my logic is that they switch it around? morning matches one day and night matches the other. bah. my luck/life sucks.

my stupid itunes is still giving me problems. i've done every single bloody thing suggested in the itunes help page and it is still not working. i'm so damn frustrated. thinking of downloading itunes again but what if that doesn't work and i've just wasted another 80mb. i hate how aussie internet works. seriously. and i can't find any place with free wifi. could you not be so cheapo for goodness sake! argh.

ok. enough ranting for today. i'm sure there are people out there in worse off situations than me. i should be thankful. yes. getting the keys for my new home, whee!, this wednesday. quite exciting. can't wait to move in. can't wait to decorate! i'm going to stick all my photos and all my polaroids on the wall. it's going to be awesome. yes ah.

alrighty then. that's about it for today. shall go read the news or something.

don't know why but that song suddenly popped into my head. i remember we were singing it while taking a break from mahjong on my last night in singapore before coming over to melbourne. zhenghong actually knew the lines to the song and we were all super amazed. him being the most chinese person i know. knowing lines to an english song. it was quite funny.

my stupif itunes is giving me problems. and so is my ipod. technically. i can't seem to install/sync apps into my ipod. the first time i did it it was ok. but subsequently, it never starts when i sync it into my ipod. i have to restart my stupid ipod and sync all my bloody songs into the ipod before it'll work again. which is amazingly time consuming and very annoying. i am not restarting my ipod ever again cause i like my high score on coldplay tap tap revenge, thank you very much. i hope itunes works now so i can try and see if the stupid app synching is still being a bitch. anyone else has that problem?

was supposed to wake up at 11am today. read on roger federer's facebook fan page that some tennis players were having some fund raising event at melbourne park today at 2pm to raise funds for the haitian earthquake. i was soooooo eager to go. but i didn't hear my alarm and woke up at 2.11pm instead. was really quite annoyed with myself. i'm never setting the alarm on my ipod again. it's not my ipod's fault, i know. i just keep forgetting to increase the volume before i go to sleep and therefore never hear it. daaaaamn annoying. really wished i had woken up on time and went to melbourne park. one, it's for a good cause. two, i get to meet roger federer. ok not meet, see. but still! how cool is that. and oh yes, it WAS venus williams we saw the other day. DANG. should totally have asked for a photo. she looked friendly enough. zzzzzzzzz.

speaking of famous people i would love to meet, i shall list them down. just for the fun of it. hur hur. not in any particular order.

1) guy berryman, the bassist (is that how you spell it? 1 or 2 s?) from coldplay. well actually, yes. i think he would be the first famous person i would like to meet. like i told my sister the other day, i think i would just die if i ever see guy berryman in person. and no, the concert i attended didn't count since i was sooooo far away from him. boo.

2) chris martin, the lead singer of coldplay. duh. who wouldn't want to meet him.

3) roger federer. COULD HAVE HAD A TODAY! argh.

4) angelina jolie. haha. don't know why, but ya.

5) brad pitt. c'mon. it's brad pitt.

6) leonardo d'caprio. i hope that's how you spell his name. damn.

7) ryan gosling! omgomgomgomgomg.

i'm trying to remember who i follow on twitter.

8) raymond lam! my oh-so-handsome ah ho from moonlight resonance. sooooo hansum. meeting him would make me so hoi sum. hur hur hur.

9) simon pegg. i think he's hilarious. run fat boy run!

10) OMG. how could i forgot the absolutely awesome NEIL PATRICK HARRIS. go for barney!

11) the cast of glee. whee!

hmm. yea. that's about it for now i think. may add on later if i ever think of anymore.

i don't understand the weather in melbourne. like seriously. according to my laptop, it's 12 degrees celcius (shit. how many spelling errors am i going to make today.) right now. like wth! it's suppose to be summer. hello! not that i'm complaining. i much rather it be cool/cold. but still! it's freaking summer. and the next thing you know, it'll be 40+ degrees and we'll be hearing of bush fires again. omggggg. and i'm still trying to get use to the excessive amount of daylight. it's just weird. totally totally weird.

ok. i think that's enough ranting for today. shall go try to work on itunes now.

till the next time then!
