stuck in square one.

yesterday, i thought i was going to die. yes, i know. uber dramatic. let me explain.

so i was supposed to be doing my hansum guy essay yesterday. but it was super unproductive day. which was NOT GOOD. at all. so at like 5pm-ish, i gave up and turned on the tv. had a slight headache. convinced myself that all that staring at my laptop trying to write my essay was too much radiation and not good for me. therefore i turn on the tv. totally makes sense, no? so anyway, back to the headache. they were showing F1 by the way. quite exciting i guess. but when the cars start banging around it's super scary. you wonder how they survive these things. like seriously. jenson button won by the way. which satisfied me. i don't know why. not like i'm an avid fan or anything. but i was happy a brit won. haha. ok back to the near-death experience. so i took 2 neurofen for my headache. it's basically paracetemol (how to spell) but a different brand. yes, panadol is not the name of the pill, it's the brand. so anyways. took then and continued watching F1. decided to take my bath and everything before starting on dinner. that was prolly about 630-ish? before that i was rubbing my eyes. cause they were really itchy. so i rubbed really hard. and when i went into the shower, my eyes felt kind of funny. i thought it was cause of my rubbing and everything. and they kind of really hurt. so when i got out of the shower, i tried some eye drops. and i realised my eyes felt really funky. like really heavy eyelids. and my eyes just kept getting smaller. so i took a closer look and my eyes looked REALLY FUNKY. take a look.

this was when it started swelling up by the way.

my left eye. which was the ultra freaky one. you probably can't tell it's swollen. but yea. it was. trust me.

my right eye. which looks pretty normal. it didn't swell that badly. but you can see the "mosquito bite" thingy.

naturally, i kind of panicked a little. wanted to call my mum and ask her what to do. which was pretty retarded i know. plus she wasn't at home. so i called my sister. asked if i should take some anti-histamine. to which she said i should. so i did. and i went about trying to prepare dinner. which was TORTUROUS when your eyes are SWOLLEN REALLY BADLY and your vision is amazingly limited. at one point, my swallowing was kind of restricted? like i had difficulties swallowing. that was when i really panicked. cause i was afraid of my throat closing up and then i wouldn't be able to breathe. yes, over-active imagination i know. but hello! it was a allergic reaction ok. those things can kill! so i just sat down and did nothing. and kept staring at my eyes in the mirror and willing them to get smaller. should have taken a picture of them when they were fully "swelled" or something. there were those spots, like mosquito bites looking things around my eyes, plus the huge-ass-ness of my eyelids. it was hilarious, i admit. but really freaky at the same time. so i just kept swallowing and drinking ALOT of water. i managed to cook my dinner and eat it. haha. with my funky eyes. then i was thinking about how my eyes suddenly swelled up like that. like, what was i allergic to? i hadn't eaten anything. other than chocolate cookies and a banana. it wasn't any dirty linen or anything. since i haven't been smearing my eyes with anything strange. and then i thought about the neurofen. and i was like, oh. so i checked the box and it said not to take it if you were sensitive to aspirin. which i was. oops. ok, not a laughing matter i know. but my eyes really did look quite hilarious. so now i will stick to panadol ALL THE TIME and check the box before taking any medication.

ended up sleeping pretty early even though i hadn't completed my stupid essay. thought i'd sleep off the funky eyes. woke up this morning and they were still slightly swollen. very slightly, but still there i guess. it was quite annoying trying to look at the screens in class when my eyes were practically half shut. and i had to wear specs. since i could barely open my eyes, i couldn't possibly put on my contacts. right now, i guess it has disappeared. since i took another anti-histamine this morning. yes, i think it's ok already.

so that's about it for my exciting sunday. think i better go wrap up my stupid essay once and for all. i will be free soon! woohoo!

when you try your best but you don't succeed.

oh wow. i'm blogging 2 days in a row. on a school night some more. terrible. well i'll make this short and sweet.

tomorrow is my sister's birthday. and she is at home with our favourite dog sushee. unfortunately she has to work tomorrow. but ahwell. more money for her to go on a shopping spree then. i bought her the huge ass haviannas float. i have no idea what use she'll have with it back home. sun bathing on the garden perhaps? but she liked it and since i owe her a few years worth of presents i decided to just get her something she had wanted to buy but hesitated on. so yes. haviannas float it is. so yes.

happy birthday sis.

i was looking at some old(er) photographs cause i decided it was time to change my profile picture. and i saw the pictures my sister took while she was still around.

I MISS YOU LA JIE :(

you know, i came to melbourne thinking that you would still be here when i get here. and that hopefully you'll stay on a few more years AND WE CAN FLY OUR DARLING SUSHEE OVER AND LET HER PEE ALL OVER THE CARPETED APARTMENT SO THAT IT SMELLS EXACTLY LIKE MY APARTMENT NOW. but ahwell, things did not work out as planned. obviously. but yes, i do realise you have no intention on staying here and i can't force you to or anything. i just wish you had. it's no fun shopping without you. i don't really trust anyone else's fashion advice. so ya. shopping nowadays is very difficult. and you would drive, of course largely due to the fact we had yiwen's car, which is so much easier than my having to walk everywhere now (though a much healthier option) and anyhow hop on trams and checking metlink website everytime i want to go somewhere. and i have been wanting to eat miss marples for the longest time now BUT HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET UP MT DANDENONG? bloody hell. and so yes, i really miss having you around. melbourne is not the same without you and your ah-boy around. i think if he was still here i'd feel a little bit better. which is such a strange thing but yes. somehow i think i would.

so anyhoos, i hope you have an awesome day even though you have to work. blow up the float and use it as your bed. how fun is that. at least you have sushee with you. remember the hideous paint piece i drew you the first year you were in melbourne. hahah. that was hilarious. here's another one for you:

those white balls are hail stones by the way. i'm along the yarra river wearing my nice new navy harem pants from forever new. the similarities are uncanny aren't they. and those are balloons, not sperms. thankew very much. yes, this year it's just me. no ma and sushee. i bet the stupid picture will get cut off due to the formatting of my blog so here's the link.

http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab156/tanyimei-27/Untitled-1.jpg

i always think it's funny that i call you jie ah. like can you imagine when we're old and like 60+ sitting around doing nothing and i still call you jie ah. that's just a funny scene to imagine in my head. hur hur. i'm crazy, i know.

so yes, you have fun with the float and everything else. and i'll get back to my stupid hansum guy's essay. it's unfair that he's so hansum because i'm too afraid of his hansum-ness to arrange and appointment with him to talk about my essay. instead, i shall go through it with a friend. so not the better alternative, i know. but he's just way to hansum, i don't think i can handle it. hahahhahaha.

and also, a special shout out to my dear friend QAZIMBO who wants me to blog more often with pictures so he can have a glimpse of my exciting life down under. just to let you know, my life here really isn't as exciting as you imagine it to be. so no pictures for you. not for now anyway. maybe soon when easter week arrives and my essay is done and I CAN PARTAYYYY! i miss oogling at good-looking PEOPLE (hur hur) with you, you know that. oogling is not the same without you. hahaha. READ THIS AND COMMENT OK. i hope school is fine for you, it has started right? and yes, yimeibao is totally domesticated and house-wife-ish now. though the food she cooks is not necessarily very nice. let's make a date for more starbucks kopi and oogling when i'm back ok. mocha frappucinno with LOTS of whip cream. yes i remember :)

frodo, don't wear the ring

i'm officially a hermit. since the sister left a week ago, i' have stepped out of the house for approximately 5 hours tops. yes, tops. prolly even less, i dare say. is dare say one word or seperate? anyhoos. i had big plans for this week. well not exactly big plans. but i had planned on leaving the apartment. and changing out of my pajamas. but yea, it didn't really turn out as planned. for one, the weather has been psychotic. what with the nonstop rain and flooding in/on flinders st. which is hilarious, i don't care. seeing people swim down flinders st is just about the most hilarious thing i've seen this week. seriously. sadly, didn't see it in person, saw it in the news. still hilarious though. yes. so the weather hasn't exactly permitted my going out. and going shopping alone is pretty sad and nobody is there to give you an opinion. which is extremely valuable because you don't want to be buying all sorts of expensive and ugly junk. no, expensive and ugly junk is bad. so yes. i have stepped out of the house mostly 30 minutes a day. awesome isn't it. and i hear the front door banging away very regularly and i seriously wonder where this people go too. i mean seriously. is there so many things to do out there? you can only shop for so many days in a row. i need friends. NOW.

so anyhoos, i've been watching flight of the conchords. i know that's pretty old news but i just got into the craze recently. slow, i know. but hell whatever. and here's one of my favourite songs.

i love the part the rap. and when bret goes, "hurray." and it really is "hurray." with a full stop, not an exclamation mark. it's hilarious. i have to copy and paste the lyrics here. just reading it makes me laugh.

[Jemaine And Bret]
Frodo, don't wear the ring.
I know it's very tempting.
Yes, you will appear to disappear,
But the dark riders they'll know you're there.
Yes, Lord Sauron has many spies'

[Eugene as Saruman]
Many spies, have many eyes'

[Jemaine And Bret]
One ring to bind them, to find them,
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to bind them, one to find them,
One ring to rule them ALLLLLLL!!!
Yea, Little Frodo!
You've got to rule them, Frodo, rule them with the ring Come on ruuuule them
with your ring!

[Eugene as Saruman]
Lord Sauron has many spies, beasts and birds.

[Mel as Arwen]
If you want him, come and claim him!

[Bret as Frodo]
Do they, Gandalf'

[Murray as Gandalf]
I am not a conjurer of cheap tricks!

[Jemaine as Sam]
I can't carry the ring
But I can carry you, Mr. Frodo.

[Dave as Aragorn]
You have my sword,

[Bret as Legolas]
And my bow,

[Dave as Gimli]
And my axe!

[Mel as Arwen]
Noro nim mish fir mar nim nor!

[Jemaine as Sam]
Mordor'

[Dave as Aragorn]
We'll never make it.
There's thousands of them and only nine of us'

[Bret as Frodo with ring]
Ohhhh'

[Dave as Aragorn]
We made it'

[Bret as Frodo]
Hurray, we made it.

[Bret And Jemaine]
Yo Frodo, what you doin' wearing the ring'
All powerful jewelry, is that your new thing'
I know it's hard when you're little more than 3 foot 4
Your little ass so close to the floor.
Trying to lead the fellows to the gates of Mordor
The Fellowship!
(Yea the fellowship)
I don't rap about bitches and hos,
I rap about witches and trolls,
just passing on the words of the Elven king,
Wisdom to all
Frodo! Don't wear the ring!

[Jemaine And Bret]
Frodo don't wear the ring,
The magical bling bling,
You'll never be the Lord of the Rings

and what do you know! bret (the very cute one, i like.) was in lord of the rings. seriously. HAHA. he was an elf. THE elf actually, who told arwen when they were leaving for the undying lands that they could not delay any longer. and she rode back to rivendell to demand what her father saw in his dream/vision. yes, too much detail. but yes. that was him. HILARIOUS. they have it on youtube. you should go see it.

ok i think that's about it for today. i don't see anything else to do online so i think i shall go offline and continue watching videos on my laptop. tomorrow, i will/MUST go out because i need to go to victoria market to get some groceries cause i am running out of food to eat which is never a good thing. nope, never NEVER a good thing. and yea. maybe i'll wander around in town for awhile. if the weather is nice, maybe i'll walk. yest. 10 000 steps a day huh. i should go get a trolley so walking will be so much easier. than i won't have to lug all the food home on my shoulders or whatever. ok not like there will be alot since i'm only buying food for one and my stupid fridge is way too small to fit lots of things anyway. i should totally buy those freezers to put outside. as in, you plug it in but. yea. you get what i mean. though that would mean extra electricity used which is not good. argh.

i do so love this place, minus the stupid disgusting smelly carpet, and i wished the rent was lower. plus perhaps this apartment could be on the 2nd or 3rd floor. the exact same apartment of course. without the courtyard is fine, as long as i have a balcony. then i can open the window/door all day long and allow the cool air in. but right now i can't cause i'm too paranoid to open the window/door beyond 7 or 8 pm. but yea. i would love to stay on in this place if the rent was cheaper. and if utilities of some kind were included. right now it's just gas. which is pretty spastic cause it really isn't used that often. i wished it was gas AND water. then i can take super long baths. though i know i shouldn't do that to save water. so i suppose it's good that i have to pay for electricity and water so i learn to use less of both. though i do think electricity will be quite high since i've been watching alot of tv and using alot of my laptop. i really should go out more often and conserve more energy.

ok i was supposed to be going. till the next time then.

and i would walk 500 miles

sorry again for the lack of updates. my internet usage exceeded a few days before the end of my internet usage (yes, i have to brush up on my vocabulary) and so i was internet-less for a few days. which was pretty ok actually. i realised i can survive a few days without the internet. which is a good thing. and right now, i think i can prolly survive a few days without my handphone either since there's basically no one for me to sms or call. life is tragic, i think so too.

so the sister has went home. BOO. life sucks even more. i really miss my sister. :( i've come to realise that this LARGE studio is actually quite the very large. yes, singaporean me kicking in. i mean seriously. maybe now cause i'm sad and lonely therefore i feel it's very large. perhaps if i did share it with someone my sentiments wouldn't be the same. but yes. right now, i'm feeling like it's s pretty big place for just lonely little me. it's really quiet too. minus the practically every 10 minute tram passing by sound. which is strangely soothing (like there is life out there thank goodness) and annoying at the same time.

the bunch of bananas i bought from victoria market on saturday are starting to get all black-ish. 5 bananas in a day is so not good. ok fine, i think it is actually very good for your bowel system. but seriously. carbo overload it feels.

i attempted to run yesterday. and yes, attempted is totally the correct word. i think i ran for 20 minutes top. HAHA. yes, i'm a total loser, i know. well to be fair, i had stitches so i really couldn't run anymore. but i admit i'm totally unfit. so i told myself, ahwell, little bit a day. soon enough i'll be fit again and i may be running 1 hour a day. is that even alot? i wonder. yes and to force myself to run, i shall go to dfo on friday and buy myself a visor (a cool one of course) and wristbands to wipe my sweat when i run. totally the coolest thing ever. all (ok mostly all) the tennis players wear it and it's super cool. hahahha. so perhaps after i've spent money and all this nonsense i'll be forced to run. yes. cannot let any money go to waste while i'm over here. life sucks. tell me about it. want to buy those ipod thingys as well. but they cost freaking 40 bucks plus they're hideous. i saw it a monash the other day. totally totally hideous. so now i'm running with my handphone and my limited songs because my handphone has this application called the walk mate which measures the number of steps you've taken. apparently, the health goal each day is 10 000. the closest i've gotten was 7000+ i think. yes, total loser, i agree.

the day i got 7000+ was when the sister left. i decided to save money by walking home after sending her off. no, not from the airport of course. that's suicidal. and definitely 10 000 steps. i walked home from spencer st. southern cross station is it? ohmygod. i still don't know the names. i need to get myself acquainted with melbourne. but back to the point. i walked home from spencer st. which is my opinion was quite a long walk. it took me approximately 4000 steps. which i once again thought was alot. haha. the weather was pretty nice and i thought i shouldn't waste money on transport home. since it was pretty much a walkable distance. yep. i've decided to go healthy and walk whenever i can. it's pretty much a walkable distance everywhere within the cbd. of course not far far beyond like, er camberwell. but yea, within the city seems reasonable. save money and lose weight. awesome. but of course only on nice weather days.

on monday, i went into the city for my free "make-up lesson". it wasn't much of a lesson. she just drew my eyes for me and applied a little concealor here and there. but it was pretty cool. she did teach me how to apply eye shadow and things like that. and told me that eye liner was just a matter of practicing. but ahwell. i don't think i'll ever get down to doing any of those things. first of all, i'm too lazy. and second of all, i'm just not that adventurous. i know, what's so adventurous about eye liner. well it is if you don't know how to do it and end up looking like amy winehouse, according to my friend. hilarious. i know. so yea. we'll see how it goes i guess. here are picture of my eyes which i took when i got home. you can't really tell, i know. but ahwell.

she actually applied a little blusher too. i'm sure you can't see. i had the hardest time getting the eye liner and mascara off. i panicked a little. i didn't want to look like amy winehouse permanently. seriously.

well i told myself to be healthy and go running today. plus the weather is quite awesome. it's pretty cool. according to my laptop it's 24 degrees but i'm sure my laptop's lying. it looks like it's going to rain though. which is quite worrying. but i should stop making excuses and just go run. yes. prolly at 5.30. since i ate lunch (which was a venti cup of home made coffee and 2 slices of bread. healthiest person ever, i know.) at prolly close to 2? don't want to get stitches again today. i wonder why it's called stitches.

well i think that's about it for today. i shall watch another episode of desperate housewives and if the weather doesn't get any darker/blacker/scarier, i'll go for my run. yes. i will.

i want to love you but i don't know if i can.

hello avid readers (ya totally.) sorry for my recent lack of updates. have been pretty busy obsessing with aussie open. and packing and unpacking at my new place. so yes. it's been awhile since i last updated. let's go back awhile shall we. to well, last sunday.

well, last sunday was by far the happiest day i've been this year. HAHA. i know. last sunday was only the 31st of january and so i still have a LONG way to go till the end of the year. so yes, so far, that has been the awesomest day ever. BECAUSE....

ROGER FEDERER WON THE AUSSIE OPEN. omgomgomgomgomgomgomg.

yes. it was a really tough match to watch, even though he won in straight sets. after each set, you couldn't help but think, what if murray wins this set! what if it goes into tie-breaker! can my heart take that kind of excitement! well luckily, my heart wasn't to be tested. at least not that drastically. i did have to sit through and excruciating 3rd set tie-break that saw match point, championship point, match point, championship point bounce about for at least 3 times, if i'm not wrong. it was terrible having to watch that. but in the end, federer worked his magic and made us all very happy. yes indeed. LONG LIVE KING FEDERER. i almost hope he never retires. the world of tennis would be an empty place without him.

i used this photo cause. i don't know. i just think it looks really nice. and kind of special. it's definitely different from all those of him posing at the yarra river the next day. or those at the awards ceremony. is that what you call that. yea. i think this looks nice and relaxed. haha.

and here's another hilarious photo of him. i just can't stop laughing everytime i see it. it came from the "caption it" section in the aussie open website where they post up photos and people try to give it a caption. it's hilarious.

the description for the photo was:

The Fed is a debonair chap, so how odd to see him struggling with a change of clothes at change of ends.

and the winning caption:

"If only putting on my shirt was as easy as winning Grand Slam titles..."

AHAHAHAHAHA. i cannot take it. it's just too hilarious in my opinion.

and another favourite photo of another favourite tennis player of mine.

how can you deny he's the cutest player in the circuit. seriously. i really hopes he wins big time one day. would love to see his victory dance again. whee.

so yes, tennis is unfortunately over. :( which means i have basically nothing to tweet about for awhile. hahaha. but ahwell.

since monday, the sister and i have been moving back and forth between my place and hers like nonstop. there's a MILLION things to move. i swear. but it's nice. now my place actually looks fit for staying. cookware and everything's in. bed, tv (most importantly), clothes, toiletries and the lot. no photos of the finish product yet. cause right now it's still pretty messy with the sister's luggage lying around. but will post up photos of it once the place looks better. have put up all my polaroids on the wall. it's the coolest thing ever i swear. and a massive chunk of photos in front of my study table. makes me feel much happier looking at all those photos. yes it does.

say hello to the super huge ass mess.

more mess. AND THE TV. awesome shits.

kitchen completely stocked for a house party. check out the indomee mee goreng. yes ah.

clothes in the cupboard. whee.

and more clothes in the chest of drawers. whee.

so yea. that's about it for today. the sister's leaving this saturday, which is a really depressing thought. bah. but i guess once she's gone, i'll have more time to myself and my tv. haha. yes, i think i'll revert to my old couch potato self. as in the pre-aussie open pre-aussie couch potato days. yes, those days back in singapore where i watch shows on my laptop till like, 7 am and wake up at around 3 pm. yes, life is good. hahahah. or maybe i should try to be healthy and go exercise a bit. prolly try to explore the place a little bit. just a little bit.

ahwell then. till the next time.

caught in a bad romance

i usually cannot stand, almost hate, lady gaga, but i visited my annoying friend, qazim's, blog and that was the title of his blog. and now that annoyingly catchy song is stuck in my head and i decided to just use it as my post title. but no, i'm not caught in a bad romance. not caught in ANY kind of romance. would be nice to be. even a bad one. yes, i sound desperate. i know.

anyhoos. still moving up and down between the sisters (Elizabeth St) and the new home (Elgin St). seems like the moving is endless. we're moving the larger furniture now. like how we moved the bed today. so yes, the place looks more homely now. still empty a bit here and there. lacking tables. but there's a bed! and some plates and bowls. haha. here are the pictures. don't mind the quality. taken with my handphone. didn't bring my awesomest dslr today. boo.

the kitchen. still looks pretty much the same. but do note the plates and bowls and cookware. yes, almost in cooking condition, my kitchen. jamie oliver would be proud.

the kind of living room area. i guess you would call this place. since the tv is going to be there. next to that shelf. which holds my dvd collection. ok, more like the sister's dvd collection. but some of them are mine ok. like good ole' ka ho yuet yuen. hahah. and the overstuffed bean bag. will have to empty out some of the beans.

and of course, my bed. no bed sheets yet, so ya. i love those 2 pillows! bought them from ikea at roughly 9 bucks each. they're awesome. i love it. and the very cute giraffe sitting on my bed given to me by my awesomest friends- saffy, weenessa, charlene, azhar and shahrul. and the penguin i bought myself from the christmas collection from starbucks last year. there's a tiger stuck in between the pillows. that's the sister's.

so yes. my new apartment is looking homeir. aiya. forgot to take a photo of the entrance. i've already put up the shoe rack and have come to realise i don't actually have many shoes. good. all the more reason to buy more., hyuk hyuk. the carpet STILL stinks. i feel like crying. bought air wick air fresherner (how do you spell this word?) in hopes the apartment will start smelling better but no. it refuses to smell nicer. when you sit on the carpet you can actually smell that terrible terrible smell. it really REALLY smells like hamster sawdust which you haven't change for probably a month plus your hamster is dead. yes, it's that disgusting decaying smell. i don't know if i'm just imagining it or what. but i really really really, i cannot make it any more obvious, REALLY hate that smell. please let it go away soon. please.

besides that. my nose has been hurting on and off since i got here. the sister says it's cause i'm heaty. but i've been drinking water lately. well, trying to drink more at least. and it still hurts. like quite badly. and when i dig my nose (yes i do that, don't pretend you don't), the booger is red! oh dear oh dear. i hope i don't have nasal cancer, if there is such and thing and if the term is correct. i mean, nothing appears to be wrong and i would know! i've spend countless minutes shoving my nose in the mirror just to get a better view of my right nostril. yes, that's where it hurts. this is bad. and i can't go to the doctor cause i've yet to receive my insurance policy card thingy thingy. ya, whatever that's called. oh dear oh dear. i hope this goes away soon too. along with the disgusting smell in the apartment.

on the brightside, no moving tomorrow. tomorrow will be a day of fun! sort of. got to go to victoria market to get groceries. having been having much food to eat lately. after which, we're going to the arts market so that the sister can buy a new bowl for the dog, sushee, back home. after which we're going to chapel st because american apparel is having sales! whee! and perhaps we'll run into one of the williams sisters again. haha. but what are the chances. the match is already on. i wonder where they're staying. not just the williams sisters. but all the players. especially federer. i would definitely stalk federer.

which brings me to the next point. WE'RE WATCHING AUSSIE OPEN ON MONDAY! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. damn exciting! i just REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that it's a federer match i'm watching. otherwise, i think i'll just kill myself. shall try to convince the sister to go early so that i can stalk federer and hopefully get an autograph from him. hur hur hur.

yea, that's about it for all. longest post to date i must say. till the next time then!

or are we ashes and wine

moved into the new apartment yesterday. wheeeee. ok fine, not exactly moved into. went to collect the keys around lunch time and cleaned up the place here and there. the place REALLY REALLY stinks. it's terrible. the sister says its the carpet or something. according to the agent, the carpet smells like that cause it was just washed. which should be a good thing. if it didn't stink that much. so we went to buy carpet deodorent (who knew there was such a thing!) and sprayed ALOT of it. but alas, went to the apartment today and it STILL stank. argh!

other than that, the apartment is pretty awesome. a few black marks here and there. the previous tenant is annoying me alot. there was clothes left in the washing machine. gross to the max. the kitchen area is quite retarded. the fridge really stank too and it was really dirty. and according to the sister, the previous owner prolly owned a pet cause there was lots of animal hair all over the place while she was vacuuming the carpet. but i suppose what's the point of complaining about all these things. i've already signed the lease, i can't be backing out of this apartment anymore. so yea. what the hell. it's still a pretty awesome place. after i'm done decorating and all, i'm sure i'll grow to love it. yes yes.

here are some photos! when the apartment is still pretty empty and un-decorated.

the doorway. pretty spacious. and the intercom thing which is HILARIOUS. there's actually a camera so you can see who's at the door. and when you talk and you go up to the speaker area, the camera is shooting right at your nose. it kind of looks like those big nose dogs. if you understand what i mean. i shall take a picture of that one day. that's when you're outside by the way. as in, you're viewing your guest's nostrils. eck, that makes no sense.

the toilet. which is pretty nice. it's got shelves on the side, which you can see. really useful. i can stuff all my toiletries there. the washing machine is behind the door. yes, awesome. i couldn't stand the thought of communal laundry. yeesh.

the little corner separating the "living room" and the entrance. will prolly put my chest of drawers for clothes there or something. you can't really see it here, but the tv connection point (whatever it's called) if high on the wall. which is pretty much the most retarded thing ever. now how am i going to plug in my tv? seriously.

the kitchen with the sister. lots of cabinets, which is a good thing. sadly, the microwave is just a microwave so there will be no baking for me. i'm sorry jamie oliver, i tried. the tile area is pretty small, a little spastic. shall not do deep frying too often otherwise i'll dirty the carpets.

the "living room", i guess. or should i say bedroom. since the bed's going to go there. ahwell. the sister picked up the book shelf in some random room where it seems people are dumping there stuff. saw it at ikea today at 30 bucks i think. or something. whee.

and the couryard. yes, pretty nice. i think so too. wish there were plants though. and not just soil. or whatever you call that. maybe i should try to find a cheap lounge chair to put outside. that'd be nice.

yep, that's about. shall put up more photos as the place starts to look more like home. went to ikea today to get some stuff. so yes, the place will start looking more filled really soon.

well, that's about it for today. till the next time then.

i love rock and roll

yes, i have decided that all my post titles shall be lines from songs. you may find it pretentious and all that crap. but hell, i don't really care. so there. i went with "i love rock and roll" today cause the song is pretty much permanently lodged in my head for the rest of the night. been playing guitar hero 3 on my handphone for the past hour or so and there you go. i don't suppose any other post titles would be apt for now.

so anyways. i'm alone at home right now. the sister went out for dinner with her friends. she said she won't be home too late. ya right. ok. i know i'm sounding crazy. but i'm bored! and i'm waiting for her to come home so we can continue out wonderful hongky drama, ka ho yuet yuen, or better known in english as moonlight resonance. i'm bored. and therefore i'll prolly fall asleep soon.

went down to chapel today. wasn't much to see actually. except for that GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS (it looks funny when typed in caps 3 times) leather-esque coat from dotti. oh m gee (as saffy would say), i totally looked the coolest in it. hahaha. yes i know, so full of myself. but seriously! it was the coolest jacket ever la. but the sister says it's totally not worth 90 bucks cause it's not even real leather which i totally agree. but it is still the coolest thing ever and it's got my freaking size! that's the bloody worse part. arghhhhhh. now i really wish i was FILTHY FILTHY rich. bah.

that aside. i was reading my email just now. i'm still receiving twe alumni, or as i like to call us, twa, updates. yes, i know my sentence structures are terrible. that aside, it was amazingly depressing when i read the "closing line".

"So once again, please reply the mail if anything, or better, sms me. You can reach me at xxxxxxxx, or you can sms Kang Zhuang, at xxxxxxxx"

when it used to say:

"Yep, that's about it. Any other queries, please feel free to ask me or Yimei.

Rickson: xxxxxxxx
Yimei: xxxxxxxx"

yes, i know it was by my own choice to leave all that behind and yes i know i'll make new friends but it's just so depressing. i really miss my alumni. i don't know. ahwell. i just really love my alumni and it kind of sucks that i will not be able to play with them in the upcoming concert. we may not be the best alumni, but it doesn't really matter. at least we all like each other. we're all civil with each other. we can have fun with each other. and i think that's what's important. alumni is to have fun isn't it. having performances are important, yes. but i don't know. i think i go back for alumni because of the friends i have there. yea, that's what alumni means to me.

ok. i have to stop emo-ing already. so yes, that's about it for today. i hope my sister comes home soon before i fall asleep.

OHOHOH! i'm convinced i saw venus williams today at wittner in chapel. my sister wouldn't believe me. but yea, i do admit that kind of doesn't look extremely like venus. could be one of the non playing williams sisters. but still! i'm pretty convinced it's venus. i shall see. really hoping to be able to watch at least one match this australian open. live, not on tv. it'll be the coolest. like the dotti jacket. i swear.

ok then. goodnight world.
