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!

i'm still alive but i'm barely breathing.

3 times in a week. this must be a new record. well i actually wanted to blog yesterday since yesterday was such a happening day. but didn't get down to it so i shall blog today instead.

well yesterday. it was exactly happening in that sense. i had hansum guy's practical at 9am. i had to go to the library to return my overnight loan before that. so i set my alarm at 845am. i have no idea why. i was supposed to set it at 745. but i didn't realise. until i woke up. it was kind of strange. the moment i woke up, i was like oh shit, i set the alarm at the wrong time. like it just hit me ONLY WHEN I WOKE UP LATE. which was completely stupid. because i actually woke up at like 5-ish cause i needed to pee. and yet i didn't realise my stupidity at the time. prolly cause i was all groggy and all i did was stumble to the toilet and back. but what the hell i swear! so i woke up and i started my mad rush of getting to lab on time. the worst part was that lab was at bouverie street. which is like the OTHER END of the school for me. and not just the other end, ie north. it was like north-east. which was really annoying. 2 streets away, you could say. which isn't that far actually. but it is when you're going to be late for class. i seriously considered getting an mc for the lesson but realised there was no other times i could attend. so i brush my teeth, SUPER FAST. and i even managed to put on my contacts. and concealor. HAHA. must maintain image that little bit. thank goodness it was a cool/cold day so i just put on a pullover and jeans and practically ran out of the house. i never run. unnecessarily. like for buses or anything. i just think it's kind of unglam. i know, i sound snobbish. i don't care. but because i never run, i have honed my speed-walking skills. so i speed-walked/sped-walk (?) to bouverie street.

and guess what? i wasn't even the latest for lab. i am AWESOME, say it. barney stinson style. yessah.

but anyhoos, lab was pretty slack. a map reading lab. which was kind of boring actually. but it finished early so i went home and bathed and did everything i was supposed to do before going for lab. oh and i returned the book late so i incurred a 5bucks fine. i have 10bucks to go before my borrowing privileges are suspended. tsk.

today, i managed to set my alarm at the right time. whee. got my french test back. did better than expected i guess. thank goodness i didn't fail or anything. listening comprehension test next week. how annoying is that. i'm not even halfway through my bloody essay! ARGH ARGH ARGH! it's like total brain block right now. i have the content and everything. i know what i want to say, sort of. but i just can't seem to piece the words together! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

went to vic market yesterday cause my fridge was devoid of veges. didn't realise the market closes at 2 on a tuesday. i reached the place at like 140pm. oops. quickly rushed through the market and bought what i needed. went to the asian grocer thinking of getting some stuff but decided i'll just get them another day. i found something nice though.

say hello to the source of much childhood joy. i thought they stopped producing it cause of melamine. or something. hmm. ohwell.

today was my aussie wildlife excursion to the zoo! i love zoos. they're one of my favourite places of anywhere i go. i try to make it a point to visit the zoo of every new country/state/city i visit. sounds a bit boring i know, after all it's kind of the same old animals everywhere. but i don't know. i just like zoos. although i have to agree with the view that it's unnatural to keep the animals in such enclosures and that it's kind of cruel. but i guess it's one of those arguments that can never be resolved cause zoos are good for conservation, awareness and research. and bla. yes. vicious cycle.

but anyway! the zoo. visited it 2 years back as a tourist and i must say it has changed slightly. the opened up the seal enclosure. it's really quite nice i feel. and a new enclosure for the fairy penguins too. i remember seeing only one the last time and now there's a whole bunch of them. and they're still the cutest things ever. i swear. the seals were quite cool. although after you've seen the leopard seals at taronga zoo, all other seals just kind of pale in comparison. leopard seals are the coolest. though very freaky looking. but of course i still love seals, and sealions, in general. didn't get to see the baby elephant. maybe another time then. mainly looked at the reptile house and the aviary. since it was more of looking at native australian fauna. but it was pretty interesting i must say.

here's a baby freshwater crocodile. if i remember correctly. the eyes are damn freaky please. it's staring right at you. freaky freaky!

well that's about it for today la. i really should stop blogging and instead go write my essay. argh. on the bright side, there is no lecture tomorrow cause my lecturer is sick. whoopee. which now means i have 4 free days. i shall be a total nerd and go camp out at my school library and get down to writing the stupid essay. yes i shall.

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 :)

nothing's going to change my world

another week of school's over, another week starting real soon. school is passing by really fast i must say. it's already week 4! already one month in school! what the hell! super fast. not that i'm complaining or anything. enjoying school still, so far. though i have an essay due 31st march and i only have 120 words right now. which is only my introduction. yes, my essay is well on its way. i can't seem to piece even a few sentences together! and i'm obviously panicking about it since i'm happily blogging away here. shittums. need to continue (not start, thank goodness) on that essay real soon!

i have been DYING to go shopping lately. most prolly due to the fact that i have homework which really needs doing. and of course, the brain just wants to do the very opposite. so i'm just looking forward to next wednesday for now. which is when the essay will be due. and i'll be free! for a week and a half because it's easter week! woohoo! easter = very good excuse to overdose in chocolate. woohoo. would really love to go on a road trip somewhere. but i don't have enough friends. boo. haha.

speaking of friends! let me introduce you to my new friends.

well, these are my closer friends at least. not like as if i have many more friends. but yes. the little chinese girl is sok shin. whom i met on attachment to big splash while she was on attachment from kallang. coincidence of the year. but yay! new friend. the other girl is maisarah. cool name eh? though i just call her sarah. hur hur. we take french together. woohoo. but we met during academic advice day so yes yes. that's us eating AWESOME DURAIN ICE CREAM. woohoo! haha. yes, so those are my new friends.

here are some really cute ducklings i saw at vic market! quite long ago. can't remember when. but you see them there all the time. chicks also. and all sorts of other poultry. but they smell really bad. but look really cute.

should have taken a better picture of the brown ones. they are so cute. maybe i should buy one and keep as a pet. hahha. totally.

went to sydney road on friday with sarah cause she needed to get some meat and stop being vegetarian. yes, all the way to sydney road for halal meat. which isn't that far i've come to realise and not as interesting as i remembered. the very nice bookshop is still there and i wanted to buy this really funny book which is kind of a journal with instructions in each page. like wear your clothes inside out for one month. hilarious. totally should have bought them. and really nice green boots at kinki gerlinki which i was seriously considering to buy but they were freaking 200bucks. so ya. totally out of budget. so now i'm just looking forward to next next wednesday when i can finally engage in some retail therapy. woohoo.

oh yes, sydney road. this shop had humongous watermelon things. but i don't suppose they're watermelons since their long-ish. right? i have no idea.

looks quite freaky if you ask me. and the veges just look really nice and green. i don't know why. haha.

don't you think they look nice. awesome.

ok i'm watching tv and i can't really concentrate on blogging right now. so i guess, it'll be till the next time then! byeeee.

beautiful beat, get me out of this mess.

ooh it's been awhile since i blogged. wanted to blog "one last time" last sunday before school started but i never got down to it. kind of lazy i guess.

so yes, since the last time i blogged:

school has started. 2 weeks now.

hail storm on saturday i think?

watched shutter island.

got obsessed with my geomorphology lecturer.

autumn has arrived.

ya that's basically about it.

let's talk about school then. i must say i like it. but then again, it's only been 2 weeks. so what would i know right? it might start becoming a killer next week. but so far so good. not too lost yet i suppose. changed my subjects around a little bit. still doing geomorphology, aussie wildlife bio. dropped animal structure and function cause it was practically the same as biodiversity back in nus. changed my breadth to french which is proving to be suicidal. oh yes, in place of animal structure and function i took on comparative nutrition and digestion which is turning out to be really difficult to understand. but i will not give up on it. i swear. french is just. difficult. as in, i would love to learn french. and spanish and italian and german and arabic. yes, i want to be super multilingual. but i want to learn it at my own pace and ya. not be tested on it. even though they all say that languages are easy cause it's only a beginner's course how difficult can they make it. i swear it is that difficult. god the french pronunciation is ridiculous. all those throaty sounds are SO difficult to make them without sounding like you're trying to spit out phlegm. it's quite disgusting. but it is pretty fun i must admit. dropped animal structure and function after i got approval from one of the coordinators of a year 3 subject to be exempted from it on condition that i do well. which is pretty scary. but i'm hopeful. aussie wildlife bio is proving to be amazingly awesome. i love it. it's like learning cool new facts every lecture and not having to wreck my brains worrying about the chemical or mathematical or whatever other nonsensical components. i love it. geomorphology is just as awesome cause my lecturer is just SO DAMN HANDSOME. i think i'm in love. hahahha. he's awesome, largely due to the fact that he's so handsome. but he's also really funny. so you actually want to listen to him, and not just look at him. haha. and yes, the subject is pretty interesting though a little overwhelming and not very understandable at times. companion nutrition and digestion. i don't know what to say about it. other than i made a new friend through that subject today. which is the one good thing about it i suppose. ohwell.

so yes. i'm liking school. so far so good. i've got deadlines for essays and homework already which is pretty crappy but ahwell. it's good to know it really early so you're prepared for it i guess? yup. plus i've got a french test on monday. or wednesday. which is really scary. but yea. what to do.

shutter island was awesome. everybody must watch it. i hated the ending though. i was so hoping for some kind of conspiracy. well it was kind of a conspiracy. but not the kind i was looking forward to. so ya. leonardo dicaprio is awesome. he deserves an oscar. seriously.

autumn is turning out to be pretty beautiful. the weather is really awesome. though it gets a little cold sometimes. especially when you wake up in the morning. it's almost impossible to get out of bed. i just want to stay under my duvet all day. but alas, i've got to go to school. zzzz. so yes. beautiful weather. i love it. has been mostly sunny the last few days. short drizzles yesterday i think. but pretty alright overall. definitely prefer this to blazing summer days. though the summer i've experienced so far was pretty ok minus the few days when temperatures went above 35. yes, melbourne is turning out to be pretty awesome so far.

speaking of weather, i witnessed my first hail storm on saturday! it was amazing! haha. yes, totally retarded to be so excited about it but i thought it was the coolest thing ever. i swear. i actually woke up really early on saturday. and it was super bright. looked to be another beautiful autumn day. of course i went back to sleep and woke up really late. like 1 or 2 i think. and it was completely dark. which was quite scary i must admit. so i went to the toilet to wash up and everything and i heard this thudding, no more like thumping, outside. it totally freaked me out. i was wondering what the hell was going on. so i came out to look and it was hailing! cool or what! i took some pictures. not very awesome or anything, but still cool all the same. haha.

not very awesome photos i know but you can see the little hailstones! i think they're kind of cute. hahaha. wanted to go out and collect them but was afraid huge ones will start falling and knock me unconscious or something. haha. that was the second day of really bad flooding in melbourne. and it was worst this time round cause of the hail. according to the news, southern cross station, etihad stadium and a few other places had roofs caving in cause of build up of hail on the roof. which is really scary if you ask me. trains were delayed for 4 or more hours from southern cross cause the station was closed. it was really bad. the news said that flinders st became an extension of the yarra river which i thought was a really funny comment. but yea. the flooding on flinders was terrible. trams couldn't move and everything. so transport for the day was pretty screwed up. they adviced people to stay out of the city the next day. i think it was the same night, or sunday night. that it started raining at about 7-ish and didn't stop even when i went to sleep at 12-ish i think. really bad. i'm lucky the "terrain" of my place is kind of downslope? yea. so all the water is just flowing down. otherwise i think my place would prolly get flooded. pretty lucky for the courtyard otherwise all the water flowing downslope would just flow into my place. yes. thank goodness for the elevation. the building next to mine has 2 units on the ground floor without any elevation so i think it was flooded. quite terrible. my friend's place got flooded too. it wasn't directly from the outside. if you get what i mean. the water came in from her lights. terrible construction. terrible terrible. but it was quite amazing. can you imagine how much water was shed from the skies that day. amazing i swear.

yea that's about it i guess. shall go read my textbooks and prepare for my essays and other work. zz. getting back into the studying mode is quite weird. after bumming for the better part of 2009, 2010 is going to be a study study study year. ahwell. what to do right? at least i'm liking my course so it doesn't feel like a chore which is important i'm sure. i'm loving my choice to come to melbourne. though it gets lonely at times. but ahwell. i can't survive on friends alone can i?

alrighty then. till the next time then, whenever that will be.

i get to breathe, you can't take that from me

since the last time i blogged, i have officially become a student of melbourne university. yessah. hhaha. well, i haven't collected my student card since they refused to use my identity card as identification. which i don't really understand. but never mind, school is so damn near. plus i need to go there tomorrow to check some stuff. so yes, i will get my student card tomorrow and i'll take a photo of it. just for fun. haha.

enrolment was on thursday. academic advice day they called it. basically it was all the course talks and international student briefings which were pretty retarded. telling us not to jaywalk and overload the power sockets. like, ok. the important part of the day was that i got to enrol. whee. and on friday, it was an appointment with the student advisor to help with getting your modules and all. my appointment was at 1030am and they made me wait till 1130. irritants. but it was a good one hour wait, made a new friend. yay. and a potential house mate at that. yes, must start looking for house mates. hur hur. so yes, now i have 2 new friends. my life is complete. totally.

so here are the subjects i'll be taking this year.

1. Australian Wildlife Biology

2. Animal Structure and Function

3. Geomorphology

4. Darwinism

5. Ecology

6. Comparative Animal Physiology

7. Dangerous Earth

8. Drugs that shape the Society

yes. sounds exciting right. haha. still not too sure about Darwinism, Dangerous Earth and Drugs that shape the Society. Darwinism and Drugs are breadth subjects. wanted to take some history-ish subject called Witches and Witch Hunting in Europe. doesn't that sound way more exciting. haha. ahwell. guess i'll think about it again for the next few days or something. as for my cores, they're pretty much fixed. there's only so many cores for me to take see. not that i'm complaining. i'm loving my cores. they all sound so interesting. as compared to what i would have been taking if i were still in nus. awesomeness.

it has been 2 weeks without how i met your mother. life i tragic. they won't return for another week. which is even more tragic. zzzzz. so in the meantime, i've been filling in my time by watching other shows. i've finished 30 rock and now i'm planning to finish sex and the city within the next few days. i already finished 2 seasons yesterday. i'm crazy. i know.

anyway, while i was watching satc, i noticed there was something wrong with this frame:

do you see it, do you see it! i thought it was hilarious. and very very bad.

haha. i wonder if the crew ever noticed that. yea, i've got nothing better to do, i know. but just thought it was pretty interesting.

a few days back i decided i wanted to eat wantons. so i went to buy wanton skin from the asian grocer. and i made wantons. beef wantons to be exact. yes, i still can't tell minced beef and pork apart. shit. made it in tom yum soup. hahah. ridiculous combination i know, but i thought it'd be ok. it wasn't very ok. and mostly due to the tom yum paste? it was really not nice. bah. must remember the brand and never buy it again. anyway, i thought i'd get creative with the wantons. haha.

hahaha. i'm a terrible wanton wrapper. or whatever. they didn't stick very well and all the minced beef just fell out. it was like eating wanton skin only. which wasn't that bad. initially. but yea.

i'm having fresh strawberries and strawberry yoghurt for lunch. haha. healthy or what. but the fresh strawberries are super sour. yuck. i must try a different store next time. will prolly have to go grocery shopping soon. running out of vegetables. zzzz. i really should get one of those market trolleys. so must easier. and i can just walk to vic market. save money on transport. howells.

made bread and butter pudding on friday. at aggy's place. soo nice. i love it. haha. jamie oliver rocks.

which reminds me. i think i can't go for jamie oliver anymore. zzz. should i? i still have enough money. but yea. hmmm. worried about travelling alone at night. bah.

oh and i bought the pants from forever new! they were too gorgeous to resist. hahaha. here's the next thing i'm planning to buy. hahahah.

super cute right! they're at 40bucks, which i think is a pretty reasonable price. plus postage of 18bucks which is quite a sucker but still reasonable priced in my opinion. super cute. i love it. can't decide which pattern though. loads more over here:

http://www.prettyinpink.com.au/_product_34051/Gumboots

alrighty then. i think that's it for today. i shall go back to watching satc. till the next time then.

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.
