I should prolly go t o sleep after this..

no sleep in 2 days, and I’m still blogging at this time when I should be catching up on my sleep. I must be becoming like kif! ha ha

anyway, as is my habit of reflection on every last-day-of-something, I just wanted to take this time to really thank GOD for all the wonderful things He’s given me. I can’t ever look back and regret on anything even though sometimes I might feel like doing so, cuz the knowledge that He had everything planned out for me right from the beginning makes me so , so very thankful for all that I’ve encountered along the way.

if ever asked if I would go back and change something from the past, I don’t think I would- because that would mean that I would not have met with some of the most wonderful things that have happened to me.

thanks God.

the smell of shoe shine

…reminds me of my early childhood.

while the other weird girls were in their rooms playing with barbie dolls, I often sat in the doorway armed with black shoe shine, a brush, and a sponge… polishing my dad’s six or so pairs of boots. I’d get my hands all sticky and black with the toxic(!!) smell of shoe shine (Which is what prob destroyed my brain cells and accounts for my retardness).

so when I sat down to polish my dr.martens this evening, the smell reallybrought back tons of memories… :)

sometimes I wonder if I was an abnormal kid……..

Monday blues…

good morning Monday! I hate Mondays. and I think I read too much Garfield when I was young.

anyway, really glad that class only starts at 3pm for me on Mondays. it halves the pain of beginning the new week. 5 more weeks and school’s out… ^-^

sent little mr. wiggles off for servicing this morning. friday nite I discovered that the left brake light wasn’t working when I lent him to some ssa pple and saw them drive off. so I can’t put off servicing any longer, lest I get pulled over by the cops! thank goodness the shell service station’s just around the corner from my apt so I don’t have to walk far… he should be all nice and sparkly ready before I head off to school later. fOR A STATS TEST!!! X-x

AND finally, I think there was one good reason why I didn’t want a scissors in my room this year. but I ended up getting one- and now I’ve just cut my hair with it………….. I thinik they call it “itchy hands”.

AHHH

3 big assignments in! a couple more to go! then I can get proper sleep!

7 hrs in 3 days! public holiday tmr! I can sleep tonite!

fat day today! 2 krispy kreme donuts (I MISS MISTER DONUT!), LARGE maccas value meal, LARGE sundae, apple pie, crumpets, 1 healthy banana. I’m fat!

Japanese interaction test! FAIL (or I’m sure I did)! sensei (In Jap) “what kind of souvenir from Singapore should I buy for my parents?” me: “eto… … … (20 seconds) … … soft toy…?”

OMG. Japanese incoherence.

English incoherence now too!

goodnite!

falling sick :(

I can feel the imminent onset of a FEVER!! okay, I could. but now I feel much better after taking a nap, eating porridge + vegetables + chickpeas, an orange (tons of vitamin C!), and strepsils kindly provided by my housemate :) I hope my head doesn’t fire up again because the weekend is coming and I would like to be well enough to finish up all my assignments which are due next week! x.X

Jap class today was super fun! we had Japanese visitors come so we could interact with them. well, the girl I met is studying hairdressing in TAFE right now, she’s pretty funky! I made sure I grabbed her before others did.. hehe. I also learnt alot of new words and expressions, and realised I actually knew enough Japanese to be able to sustain a decent conversation in Jap ^-^ ですから、とてもうれしかった！(so I’m really happy)

and many thanks to niza whom I ‘met’ at choon’s gossip blog! :D I enjoyed the first episode of One Pound Gospel very much! but for now, I shall have to leave it at that since I have alot of work to finish up first. yesterday I allowed myself to watch it on the pretext that I was ‘preparing’ for today’s Japanese visitor session ;) I didn’t actually know that it was a drama series. I thought it was a movie! now… what have I gotten myself into?? :S

FAT FRIDAYS

OMG I ATE SO MUCH AGAIN!!

Fridays are now officially my fat days! I’m so back on the fat track .. I’m thinking (omg, “I’m thinking” is so Indian English) it’s also partially because winter is nearing.

abstinence is key.

today I succumbed to the alluring hot food in the matthews canteen again. I hate it that I have my class there so I have to walk through the cantten to get there. lol. I ate naan and a spinach and cheese pide. hum… then because I’d eaten so much and hadn’t brought my honey laptop with me, I decided to walk home and hence had to drive to caregroup in the evening…

anyway I have to stop spending so much on food esp eating out/succumbing to my cravings! because 1) I will get really fat since I’m so ill-disciplined in all aspects possible and 2) I am going broke soon I need to work more to earn it all back..

I feel so incoherent now probably because I overate (caregroup is now associated with fellowship which is associated eating) ..

or maybe it’s just late and my brain juices are getting mixed up with the fruit juices in my stomach.

I feel like reading Asterix and Obelix all of a suddne, such fond memories from my childhood! I still love Obelix but I really dono’t intend to take after his appetite and shape ..

to market to buy a fat pig…

okay not really… I just went to work today, after such a long time. I’m so terribly unfit… my legs are aching. if I was home in singsing, I’d prob be off for a foot massage with my recently-extremely-enthusiastic-over-foot-massages parents. anyway, work wasn’t so bad… some of the staff were unfriendly at first, but the afternoon shift people were much nicer and more fun to work with. plus, I got a rare treat of an unhealthy meal- potato wedges, chips, egg, yoghurt, salad and a good tomato. ha ha and to top it all off, I earned approx. $120 aussie to boot..

I’m trying to make the figures in my bank account increase, not decrease. I’m on a REAL budget. saving up for Illinois too.

the royal prince alfred hospital is kinda cool. it looks so.. royal. from the outside. and yet, inside, it’s so modern! and when I see all the surgeons and doctors I feel so inspired. I wish I was a more sciency person. there are about 2-3 occupations I’m extremely sure I’d have done if I had excelled the least bit in science stuff.

1) doctor, yeah! save lives! but very unfortunately, I’d prob have to be the one to be saved once I sight blood…

2) a dentist! ha ha, courtesy of my grand-uncle who’s so enthusiastic about his job… he brings me through every single detail when he’s working on my teeth, and that’s what got me interested. anyway, I’ve always been somewhat over-obsessed with my teeth. God-forbid I brag, but I’ve got one of the whitest sets of teeth on this planet. (too bad I’ve got that Japanese-style twisted canine-which I do intend to keep-which makes my smile far from perfect).

3) antarctica scientist- studying penguin flight/or iceberg movement… because I have this bizarre fascination with antarctica, a place which I absolutely ADORE despite never having been there. I often have this fantasy that I was born there…

well, currently I’m nowhere on track to any of the above. I’m gonna be a language specialist. yes, that’s what I’ve chosen for myself. or what God has chosen for me. I’m still waiting and curious as to what He’s gonna use me for…
