save our earth!

I recently saw an ad by Emily Blunt telling people to boil just enough water for your cup of tea. and it really struck me… how true! why the heck was I boiling a whole kettle full each time only to use 8oz and wait for the rest to cool off? my gosh how much electricity and earth’s resources I’ve been wasting! so now I really do only boil just enough for my cup of tea! ha.

tea time!

ps. those are the little chocolate tea cakes I recently baked hehe

little things

I’m easily contented-

it’s funny how simple little things can put a smile on my face

and then I end up looking like a goofy fool smiling to myself.

thank goodness I’m at home right now so there’s no one to notice that…

anyway, I just webcammed with Noli!! haven’t seen her in ages it was so nice! and haha, saw some old videos on her blog… that’s where the smile began.

haven’t seen snow in 2 years… but there’s a chance that it will snow -flurries- tonight. we’ll see. :)

studying for tomorrow’s exam now.

overate again today. the original pancake house with ubcers- 4 pancakes (2 buttermilk, 2 chocolate chip), 2 scrambled eggs. I finished it all.

oh dear me

I suddenly remembered the psych thingey we studied in first year… about the initial excitement of being in a new place, then soon after comes shock, then homesickness sets in, etc. oh dearie me… for all I know it might just happen to me, knowing how I’m inclined to experience bouts of melancholy every now and then. still don’t know why it happens, but it does. oh I should grow up, haha.

anyway, yours truly overate again. what’s new. so I cancelled my meal plan for next week and will see how things go. will probably change it back again by the end of the week cus that will be the last time I can change it, but next week is just to take a short ‘hiatus’ from all the unhealthy overstuffing of my poor tortured self.

went to check out the state-of-the-art gym this evening too. it’s truly AWESOME (the word has been misused so often, but seriously, it really applies in this instance.) 4 floors of awesome gym equipment, high tech (ie. touch screens, iPod plug-ins, tv, etc)! just like the kind you find in the fullerton hotel gym except that is has 100 times as many machines. seriously. I was awestruck. I still am. and you know what?? it’s FREE. say it with me. F-R-E-Eeeeeeeeeee. what the…?! freaking uni of no-student-welfare has a pathetic unigym which costs $8 per visit and the freaking equipment is rusty and old. what the heck. the pool costs a heck lot too and it’s not even heated. here… it’s free free freeeeeee…. EVERYTHING!!! indoor pool, outdoor pool… everything!! okay. with the exception of special facilities like the climbing wall and stuff you just have to pay a tiny little fee. okay wadda heck man.

okay and finally, my favourite place (now practically my second home) the ice arena, is also free for public skates or if you require skates, rental is only $1. wow… seriously they have it good here. some people really don’t realise how lucky they are…

4 days

can seem really, really long when you still have 2 big hurdles to cross.

anyhow, I CAN’T WAIT.

meanwhile.. bread is my comfort food to keep me going through the nite.

work, study, and fat

juz got home from work at the cricket ground! I am so sick of chips and fish and meat pie even though I don’t even eat meat pie. brought home a ton of loot though, for my housemates. too bad sad case cj friend left already or u can join in the free meat pie feast. my wrist is very sore from scooping chips all night long, and my stomach is even more sore from nibbling on them all night long.

work was pretty fun anyway. really appreciate this job that sends me everywhere, I always get to meet new pple, see new places. the in-charge today was this young girl named deborah who’s 19 and studying at UTS and she talks alot. it makes working fun. and the cook guy actuallly works at matsuya!! ha ha! we almost went there last nite for dinner. so cool. if I had a choice, I’d choose to be a kitchen hand next time. I had a whale of a time making the food. and I will have a whale of a time making food forever and ever… I wanna work in a sushi restaurant or something. say, I should fulfill my dad’s dream for me to become a fugu chef. ha ha.

anyway, I am now $550 poorer. I sent wiggles to the workshop this morning to get his alternator fixed. well I’m just glad he’s alright now.. phew. but pumping money into the little thing I’m about to sell didn’t make me feel exactly elated. at least I can drive to church tomorrow with a peace of mind that wiggles isn’t going to die on the road.

this weeks gonna be a dreader. I know it’s gonna whizz by, and yet, it’s gonna be my longest week here by far. research project I haven’t started on, psych exam I haven’t studied for, Jap exam I wanna score HD for. I don’t know if I can handle it, or if I’ll even survive..

okay I’m gonna shower now and get the smell of chips and meat pie off me… then I’ll settle down, practise some Jap by writing in my JAP BLOG(!!) then take some notes for my research proj then study for psych.

onaka suita

I must be hallucinating…

I’m in my room surrounded by nothing but books and papers… but I can smell

1) tau sar pao

2) sweet chilli sotong

3) warm toasted bread

4) tako yaki

all at the same time! one smell in each corner of the room! >.<

I must be VERY hungry.

hais!

feeling a tad depressed and in pain now. my ’shopping therapy’ is on hold- and by shopping therapy I mean SUPERMARKET shopping becuase I hate all other shopping. these days if I’m in the mart I merely head in for bread and milk and walk straight out lest I end up seeing other stuff and buying them. I’m currently overstocked on food, seeing as to how I’ll be leaving oz in under 6 weeks. so that means I can’t afford to buy anymore food, thus leaving me void of my favourite hobby.

but alas, I shall drown my sorrows in studies, watch Japanese dramas over dinner, and pour out my soul writing in my Jap blog.

the intensity is heating up.

chemical reaction

4am: coco pops, milk, sultana bran, coffee, spinach fetta mushroom pide, more coco pops, baked chocolate coated cheesecake, fried seafood chow mein, chinese tea, maccas soft cone; cross cultural adaptation, psycholing, slips of the tongue; tchaikovsky, music, and the brain… they do not go well together at all. never again, I promise.

next on the menu: early morning run, chocolate slimming shake, and runway fashion show.

777-300ER!

ps. LJ updated at long last.
