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.

quit playing games with my heart

"that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, i like it. uh-huh uh-huh."

a little premature for this, i know. and i hope i don't jinx it by posting this victory dance photo. but isn't tsonga the cutest?! the cutest guy on the circuit is currently playing novak djokovic, or nole i don't know why, who is appearing to be a really strange guy. but still kind of likable. just hating on him a little bit now cause tsonga is losing. BUT. i believe in tsonga and i KNOW he will come back. i hope.

eck. tsonga just lost the 3rd set. shittums.

well either way round, the winner is going to play federer, my hero. so it doesn't really matter cause OF COURSE i would go for federer to win. but it would be nice to see tsonga win and do his little victory dance in his neon yellow/lime green shirt. what colour is that, seriously. but either way round. he is THE cutest. i swear.

saw some pretty funny fan boards, whatever they're called.

"tsonga can go longa." hahahhahaha. totally.

"roger federer is like a swiss knife. he always has the right tools to get out of bad situations. roger that!" or something like that. prolly a few words wrong here and there. but you get the point.

hmmm. novak djokovic looks like he has some problems. WILL HE RETIRE?

geez, i'm turning my blog into twitter.

so the match before this was federer and davydenko. was quite a scare going into it.what with davydenko beating federer in the last 2 matches they played. the one in doha only recently. so it was pretty scary. so many things on the line for federer. will he make his 23rd consecutive semi final in grand slams? will he remain at no.1? and so the match started. and i must say federer played pretty horrendously in the first match. and was still playing horrendously for the first half of the second set. AND THEN THE STUPID CHANNEL 7 HAD TO SHOW NEWS! omgggg. i swear it was the most horrible moment EVER. leaving us when federer was playing badly! are you trying to kill us or what! thank goodness for live scores on the aussie open site. though staring at the score board is totally different and feels pretty retarded. but watching the score go from 15-0 to 40-0 to 40-40 is actually pretty exciting. for reasons yet unknown. luckily, federer came back in the second half of the second set. thank the lord. and then federer went on the win the set. and the next. AT SIX-LOVE YO! coolest thing ever. and so i continued staring at the score board, wondering what was going on inside the rod laver arena. the 4th set went pretty even. they each held serve. until federer broke at er, 5 i think? AND THEN HE COULDN'T WIN MATCH POINT. which was the shittiest moment. but he broke davydenko's next serve and THANKFULLY, was able to win his match point in the next set.

and that is the story of federer's match against davydenko.

it was a pretty scary day of tennis for the top seeds. venus lost to li na. when she was up 2 match points i think. according to the commentators. and serena looked like she was going to lose too. but she did a turn around like federer did and won. which was awesome. cause azarenka's amazingly annoying with her strange noises. but she played a good game, of course. until she pretty much gave up when serena had her comeback. at one point of the match, it was pretty much just a screaming contest. it was getting ke-razy out there. seriously.

ok i think i shall stop yakking about tennis here and go back to concentrating on the match. and praying for tsonga.

GO TSONGA!

holding your scarred heart in hand

went to watch AUSTRALIAN OPEN yesterday. omggggggggg. it was a FEDERER match. double omgggggggg. and he WON. OH AM GEE, in the words of saffy. yes. it was awesomest. even though we were in the freaking last row. tsk. but it wasn't that bad actually. sure, you can't see the pores on his faces and all. but you can still see his face. pretty much. and i didn't have to squint to see the court, as i thought i might have to. yea, so it was not bad. and the atmosphere was awesome, of course. though it got really annoying when the aussie fanatics kept cheering. super super annoying. but i suppose they are entitled to their cheering and all. either way round, federer won so yes. he only lost one service game. which was awesome shits. and i must admit that when hewitt won that service game, it was quite an exciting moment. like FINALLY, kind of moment. though i was like, crap federer! but it was all fine in the end. federer did his magic, as usual, and did not disappoint. thank you, federer. :)

i shall post up some photos i managed to take yesterday. yes, they're not exactly very awesome. i was in the last row ok. and my lenses aren't exactly THAT awesome. so ya.

my tennis hero, roger federer, world number one.

federer in action.

yes, they're minute, i know. but ahwell. how else do i fit the whole court into one frame.

so yep. it was an awesome night. watched federer win in STRAIGHT sets, thank you very nice. unfortunately, was unable to find him on the practice courts to stalk him. don't suppose they stay out on practice courts till after 5pm. boo. didn't get myself a souvenir, yet. the souvenirs are crazy expensive! the jumbo wilson ball cost a freaking 35 bucks. are you crazy! think i'll go buy the poster. at least that's just 10 bucks. waaaaaay more affordable than anything else. yes, a poster to hide the dirty marks on my stupid wall.

aussie open has made me a couch potato. we were SUPPOSED to go to chapel today, again. oh yes, we didn't go on sunday because we woke up at prolly 1 or 2. usual rising time most days. so anyway, SUPPOSED to wake up at 11am to watch the henin match. but duh, obviously i didn't. woke up at 1, no 2, for goodness sake. was awaken 3 times by super loud and super scary sounding fighter planes, or something. it was damn scary i swear! i mean, you're all woozy and half asleep and you hear these really loud fighter planes sounding like they're flying RIGHT OUTSIDE your window. it totally sounds like world war three i swear! of course, after thinking about it for awhile, you then realise it's aussie day and they're prolly have parades or exhibitions or whatever and you go back to sleep. but of course, to be awaken by it 2 more times. but ahwell. oh i've totally digressed. so yes, i'm now a couch potato. though i have been for quite awhile now. since i left nus to be exact. but seriously. i think this is the longest i've sat on the sofa watching tv. just keep watching one match after another, one day after another. not that i'm complaining of course. but i do feel kind of bored. would like to go out one of these days. but unfortunately, all the exciting matches are coming up. what with quarter finals starting today. deng deng deng. fingers crossed for the awesomest federer of course. ALL THE WAY!

on the bright side. tsonga is through to the quarters as well! he plays djokovic next. hmmmmm. i really can't decide who to support. but i think, slightly leaning to the tsonga camp. he's so cute! and really funny when he plays. what's not to love. of course, djokovic is prety hansum too. with a really cool name at that. hahha. but yea. i think i'll go for tsonga.

and there's the henin vs zheng jie semis. excitings! as much as i want to support my fellow race-person, whatever the hell that means, i'm definitely supporting henin. comeback queen all the way yo! i hope she wins the aussie open. henin and federer. ooh, dream come through.

to continue with the tennis talk, went from one blog to this tumblrs thingy. quite cool. it's basically a blog but mostly filled with photos. and with the same concept of twitter where you can retweet. i suppose they call it retumblr. saw this photo and just thought it was amazingly hilarious.

hahahahhahahhahahahhaha.

as much as i love federer and want him to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF nadal and remain the greatest of all time EVER, i must admit that nadal is a pretty hilarious and cute personality. plus he is a good player. damn you nadal. his facial expressions are often amazingly hilarious and his obsessive complusive arrangement of his evian bottles is the most hilraious thing ever.

http://vamosrafa.tumblr.com

here, go have fun looking at all of nadal's retarded facial expressions.

and i found another one with pictures of federer&nadal. and it's kind of gay-centric, bromance-centric tumblr. but just as hilarious.

http://fuckyeahfedal.tumblr.com/

although i do hate the photos of federer crying at aussie open 2009. it's depressing to watch him cry like that. but yes, he bounced back and that's what's important.

found this photo and thought it was amazingness. he looks like his flying! plus the i-don't-care look on his face. ya man.

and THIS! amazing and hilarious all at the same time. i hope he got the ball. and recovered for the next point after. i can't really remember.

ok. enough with tennis. according to twitter and the How I Met Your Mother production team, the show will be back for a sixth season! awesome! it's going to be "legend-wait for it!-dary!" ohmygodd. i cannot wait. yes, we can all live with a weekly dose of neil patrick harris in our lives. wheeeeeeeeee!

Girls Vs. Suits. hahahahhaha.

apparently they were on playboy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"ted, SUIT UP!"

and of course,

and i shall leave you with a quote from my favouritest (totally) Barney Stinson played by the just as awesome Neil Patrick Harris.

"It's going to be lengen- wait for it and i hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is- dairy!"

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.
