questionmark:  coffee, tea and chocolate has caffeine. what is stirring my curiosity, i'm addicted to chocolate and now i'm drinking as much tea as the English. i realised i had chocolate withdrawal syndrome in camp last week. however, coffee (containing more caffeine than the other products i have mentioned), makes my head hurts so much that i had to sleep. besides, at times coffee makes me drowsy and i had to sleep.

 

newez, i drinking as many as 6 cups of tea a day now to fight my chocolate addiction. but it's not like it's helping. dark chocolate is more expensive than milk chocolate and i can't afford that to stay healthy. so i thought tea might help. green tea, black tea, chai, earl grey, ceylon, chamomile and jasmine tea, anything and i'm becoming an ENGLISH!. questionmark: is tea healthier than chocolate?

 

sidetrack here, i was talking to my fren's fren, now this fren's fren is my fren. that's beside the point. she was asking me if i'm a viet, so i could help her with her pronounciation. of course, i said i'm not. so she was perplexed, then asked me are you thai? no, i'm not. i'm like i'm a chinese. she was like ahhh... malaysian. i was like yeah. (gotta stop the "like") but she kept going on like my features are not chinese, is actually thaish. well, my remark about me not fully a chinese ( my great-grandma is a Dayak, a Borneo native), reassured her somehow. questionmark: is my reputation as the corrector of pronounciation that prominent? and do i  look like a thai?

anatomy, anatomy, anatomy. sorry but the word anatomy is stuck in my head. i have 5 hours of anatomy lecture and 4 hours of anatomy pracs. nice but i just realise that's what basically physiotherapy is about. i don't mind all that however the number of hours that i spent in the uni in a day is awfully a lot. from 9 am to 3 pm and occasionnaly 5.30 pm, don't forget i have to travel 4 hours a day back and fro. i'm beginning to feel the fatigue. fell asleep in the train almost miss parliament station. thank God, i got out in time if not i would have to go all the way to flinders and got to travel for another uncompromisable 20 min. nope, i'm not doing that as i have my prac today at 8.30 AM!

 

gratefully i have silvana, an egyptian to come on to the tram on the next stop. YAY! i don't to die of boredom ( although i currently rereading the revised version of pride and prejudice), it's just so good to feel that u're with somebody u noe. the awesome thing is that la trobe has a CU (Christian Union) lounge, the first of its kind that i've ever heard. luckily, i noe these 2 chicks from bendigo,  em lives in the campus, mala lives nearby. they are my guide through the crooks and nooks of uni. if not i dunno where i ended up at. it's so great to noe them.

 

very tired. dun worry i'm coping well. got my med cousin here to help me with anatomy. so should be alrite. but beware, my frens, if physiology got the boredom out of me, i might text you guys anytime anywhere, even if i'm in the 0626 train to the city. oh yeah forgot about physiology. one of the two subjects that i'm having this week. it's so boring. if u did any of yr 12 chem, physics or chem, beware, the boredom might kill you. you learn about the cell ( the basics in bio- i did bio when i was in m'sia), the characteristic of water and hydrogen bonding ( physics and chem). i'm officially dead.

this is the first time in my life to work for full 12 hours. last nite was my first job at a wedding. a romanian wedding. well, the boss promised us that this party would end at around 1. well, it's ok. it's not as bad what melody told me about that she sometimes were needed to waitress till 3 am.

 

18 feb, 4.30pm

i arrived at the grand (that's the place i'm working now) and got into my uniform (a chinese collared shirt, and i looked just like mao tze tung, u noe the chinaman) and got started putting a bottle of whiskey on every table. then i met lynn, an aussie gal with an american accent. and she told me about the basic of waitressing at this place. i never do waitressing in a wedding before, so it's new to me.

 

it all happened so fast, i couldn't remember the progression of the wedding. so i think was

1. lit the candles on every table. had trouble with the lighter. it took me about 10 minutes on this stupid table, and there were guests on it. i was like no, don't do this to me. but it was all good, got it done.

2. took out the heavy romanian cold platter. i slanted the plate too much and the olive dropped onto the table. i didn't what to do, with ppl looking at me. so had to collect the olives discretely and threw them away.

3. served drink, and had to make sure that every customer got what they wanted and refilled them if it's emptying. so i had quite a comical episode. two customers asked for kahlua with milk, i heard low cream milk. so i found out that we had full cream milk. so i went back and told them that we have full cream milk. they said it's fine. so i served plain milk. they had quite a laugh.

 

it was all about serving and making the customers happy with a sore foot. right i had a sore foot. i couldn't walk properly. and also learned romanian on the side. some were very delighted when i refilled their beer and said something in romanian i couldn't understand. i only learned hello but i forgot already. it was a long night lasted till 4am. and i woke up at 2pm this afternoon. there were still some intricate details of last nite wedding. but i'm just too tired to write. i'll update soon.

i was sitting in this cool nissan sportscar in melbourne motor show and it was ultimate carness. that's how car is suppose to be. comfy seats, beautiful body, good aerodynamics, plus a BOSE hi-fi system, and extra-extra of ultimate luxury- funky interior design, leather seats and lots of button to push up and down.

 

second on the list i think mel and mich is gonna agree is the gorgeous alfa romeo gt. hifi system with the mysterious italian aura in the air. i feel like the song pretty woman.. come and sing with me.. pretty woman walking down the street... pretty woman... lalala. can't remember anymore. but the 6 speed manual gear and nice-to-grip steering wheel was wow nice.

 

another one. citroen c3 i think can't remember the name. but the cool sunroof and funkiness and leather seat and cool gear is definitely something to drink about. this car doesn't make u feel like a lousy driver. it makes u feel like hey i'm ready to go and hang out with my frens that kind of feeling. the height of the seat is perfect and make u feel like this is my car...

 

one more i promise u the last one... subaru impreza. mich and mel were waiting for priyanka, while i went to get a subaru poster. i couldn't resist it, so i went to sit in the impreza. it's a damn powerful car. i feel like a man now, yes a man. this car has all the safety feature and yet it is a four wheel drive that satisfies my inner need for speed and my obvious insecurity. WONDERFUL.

 

now is the mini cooper cabrio. so CUTE. this car is convertible-cool and yet it's mini- cute. the speedometer is so different from the others that i've seen - it's old school and yet it's modern- look out for the hi-fi system. and comfy seat. ok i've promise the impreza was the last one. the mini is so cute. sorry.

i realised i have quite a photograhic memory, bad with the details though. as the ad of winter olympic was blaring on channel 7, there's this flashback of harry potter in ski jumping. so i told shalindi about this harry potter look-alike to be a finnish and i didn't remember him winning. but that's all wrong. he was apparently the defending olympic champion and he's from switzerland. so who's this finnish guy and lost? i dunno.

then i remember this incident about two years ago. i met this girl from my primary school. i think her name was tessa and lives at stampin, but unmistakebly that's her face. i know she holds her pen like holding a calligraphy pen. so i went up to her and said hi, so u're tessa rite? she's like no, i'm not tessa, i'm something something i can't remember. ok so i got her name wrong. nvm, i knew where she lived rite, i've been to her house before. and another shock, she didn't live in stampin, she live on the other side of the town. downright embarassing, i know her but none of the details i thought i knew was correct. so one last try " u hold your pen like holding a calligraphy pen rite?" she was like yes, how do u know? i was like don't u remember me? we went to the same chinese tuition. she was like wow, how can u remember but yeah i remember u were from that chinese tuition. phew, a sigh of relief. so who's this tessa girl who lives at stampin? i dunno.

 

another photograph- detail mix up. when i was rly young, i was naturally curious of what my father watched on tv. so there's this very defining moment when my dad watched childplay. yeap that horrific doll named chucky and also look a bit like my girly doll. so i sneaked into the media room and watched it with my dad (he didn't know i was there) until i screamed of course. then i ran out of the room, and hid under my blanket. my doll (unnamed) was there having her "sleep". i found out her similarity with chucky, and i think i saw she made that evil smirk. at that instance, i thought she was chucky. so i threw her out of my room. and the whole night i was behind my pillow " battle nite" in case my version of chucky came in or something until i fell asleep. the next morning i found her to be my unnamed doll all over again. so who was the girl dolly that made that chucky smirk? i dunno. 

this is the worst possible start to a holiday. i'm truly sorry if u my frens asked me out and i sort of din reply u or some sort. i have never gotten so sick for the 18 yrs of my life.

 

i had diarrhoea on the day when we were meant to go to st. kilda. i did not know what happen. the day went by with a blur. all i remembered was i had the longest diarrhoea for maybe the entire history- 4 days and 2 more days in the later of my  week-sick-in-bed-holiday-starter. then came the headache. it grew stronger became a migrain. i thought i would sleep through that pain, but NO, it so painful that i scream "oh Lord, hear my pain, heal me." it eased a little after two hours i think, and i slept a bit over an hour two hours maybe before i woke up in excruciating pain.

 

stupid viral infection. besides the blocked nose, this horrible physical state stagnanted my life. now  besides the earache and flu and sore throat, this is way better than what it was before. oh ya, i threw up several times. at least i could talk and walk.

 

 

well, half way through spesh past analysis exam, should be putting as much attention as i can, but... always have the but coming. i always so caught up with other stuff. i dun understand this, i should be studying, why is my head fill with all sorts of stuff? when i'm not, i'm like blank. no jk, literally blank.

 

the craziest thing happened. i relearned my korean, *forgot most of the meaning of the phrases*, and translated the romanized version of all my korean song lyrics back to the korean character, at the eve of spesh skills exam. what's the hell wrong with me? don't be mistaken, i'm not confident nor being very smart mathematically. but should not have done that.

 

and i've furious at myself for not saving enough money to go to germany. World cup 2006, forget it, despite having accomodation at my aunty's place in Berlin, yes i could go to the venue by train, however, the ticket is too expensive. 100 euro at the cheapest. kill me first. should be me there in the berlin stadium, but what to do? well, world cup 2010 south africa here i come. that one i'm serious.

 

*btw, i'm very sick of wake me up when september ends, it's constantly ringing in my head and also don't play anymore of bsb's songs. they provoke me. yes they do.

 

newez, in a foul mood.
