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.

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.
