unravelling the mysteries of my sad life by unwinding with ravel and co.

thats my sad attempt at trying to be clever with words. sigh

anyway I’ve been busy with school work and whatnot. but its also partially because somebody here was a genius and went out playing everyday from thurs-sunday… fri night was the LONDON PHILLIE ORCHIE! :) okay they were great but not that great. they did good with the ravel piano concerto (ah, very gershwinny piece) but with rach I felt they were not rach enough!! their rach felt powerful but so.. cheery. which was very wrong.

the night before.. thurs night… I went out with some friends to celebrate the end of a horribly merciless school week. we had dinner at an all-you-can-eat sushi bar. it made me so dreadfully full but there I had to go and have dessert at max brenners. choc fondue fruits and ice cream. which, after taking my last bite, I promptly got up and ran to the bathroom to barf. what a traumatising experience. I felt like a bulimic. I really need to stop eating so much… need to know when to stop and not be a goldfish.

saturday was soooooo awesome because… I WENT ICE SKATING. I miss the ice so damned much it felt really good to step out on the ice albeit wearing skates with no edges. and the fact that it took me more than an hour to get to the only ice rink in sydney. north shore my friend. but oh well. ahhh I miss hockey so much.. and miss my sticks fuzzy, wuzzy and shorty a lot. I need to practise some stick handling when I get back to singapore!

sunday. browsed abit at kinokuniya and watched a gold class movie after church. well for the experience. and it was julie and julia (the movie) which really inspired me to cook more but eat less.

and it’s confirmed. I shall be going to melbourne (again!) and tasmania for a mini grad trip after the exams! :) Ireally closed both eyes and booked the tickets lest I remained indecisive till the end..

so thats that. and yeap, 10 days till the end of school forever. not factoring in exams, that is. 23 days till I’m a grad. the end of being a broke college student and the beginning of life as a broke adult.

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.
