let's procrastinate...

lol. i'm supposed to be studying for my Chinese composition test for tomorrow. But I am blogging here :) I wanted to stay home to study today but I went into uni, seeing it was the last lecture for one of my subjects. lol. Pretty much wasted the whole day. Was trying to sort of subject problems and stuff... which wasted an hr or so at the student center.

I don't usually rock up to uni on thurs, cos I only have 1 lecture. So today was the first time in 11 weeks I went to uni on a Thursday.

I'm going to watch Beyond the Realm of Conscience now. And then, hopefully... I'll start on my Chinese studying. I'm probably not gonna be sleeping tonight. Well... let's see how I go. Maybe I'll manage 2-3 hours of sleep. But no matter how little sleep I get, I'm gonna be a grumpy, bitchy, inconsiderate person tomorrow. So watch out!

living on 25cents credit

For the past week i was living on 25 cents credit for my phone. I lived. I can't believe it!

After a week (yes, a week) my phone was finally recharged. stupid isim! this is the first time that it took them so long. I tried contacting them but they didn't reply until earlier today. The thing is with isim is that they don't have a phone number to call, only an email address. That's why their call rates are so cheap because they save money on employing people answering calls.

Think about this, 39 cents a minute with no flag fall and sms is only 15 cents . If you make a short call telling someone where you are, it wouldn't cost you more than 10 cents!! That's why I am still with isim~ I don't think there's a better phone plan than what I have now . for my kind of usage anyway.

addiction

i dunno... but would you call it an addiction if you wake up 4am in the morning to download drama during my off peak downloading period?

anywho... ive just did and today is the beginning of 2 new TVB anniversary grand productions series!

Born Rich - 富貴門!
&

BEYOND THE REALM OF CONSCIENCE - 宮心計!


yay! I'm so excited. I don't think I had ever been this excited for a tvb series as I am now. Well actually I had, when I was watching Heart of Greed a couple of years back.

side note:
weekly weekend waste at Coles...


there's more where that came from...

unpleasant weekends

i dislike weekends. for a number of reasons really. its just so hectic you know? I never get 'me' time and I always have to sacrifice so much.

for this weekend for instance. i worked my morning shift on saturday and then I had to race out to the city to get my teeth checked up. Then I went to the optom. Spent a while there picking my new glasses and getting my eyes checked up. omgosh, you wouldn't believe how blind I am now. It's gotten to the fact that it isn't funny anymore. lol. actually i still find it amusing...should of seen the look at my parents faces when I told them the degree of glasses I need now. Partly their fault for always telling me to watch TVB with them. but of course, they blame me for spending too much time in front of the computer.

sunday. gosh. work. church. oh man, music today was not cool. one of my songs were changed 'during' the service today because the wrong lyrics were up on the powerpoint presentation. not before the service, cos that would of given me some preparation to think, but pretty much on the spot the song was changed. thank goodness I had the music for that song and I was still able to play it. so phew! I was like wth. but i guess these things happen every now and then. By the time I got home parents dragged me inside and told me, let's watch tvbbb now... lol. Not that I don't like watching TVB but I was really tired from doing shit for 12+ hrs.

oh thats enough of my blabbing. on a side note. did I tell you I'm a huge fan of puff pastries. Oh my, I wish my dad was a pastry chef. I'll eat anything he makes~

msn you bugger!

Having so much problems with msn. It keeps signing me in and out. I'm so frustrated with it. not happy at all... not happy at all!! grr... oh well, I guess its a good thing. No more wasting time on meaningless conversations (and more time devoted to tvb). LOL... though, I must get it fix soon!

On a side note, have you ever been stuck in between two of your friends and their bf/gf. like... you are standing in the middle between two couples. and the two guys and the two girls are having their separate conversations? Oh gosh, I was in that situation today. totally awkward! I was like, 'get me out of here now!! NOW!' Maybe I should go and find myself a companion! so... what do you call that? double third wheel? fifth wheel?

mad magpie

Every morning when I walk to work or go to uni I go through this park to get to the bus stop/town centre, there is this magpie that sits on the lamp post.

As I walk through the park (its a short cut to the town centre) the magpie comes flying through and swoops right near me. It has happened many times. There was this one time I nearly tripped cos of this bloody magpie.

I've tried many things to scare the magpie. As cruel as it may seem, I have tried preparing myself to attack the magpie when I walk through the park. Not because I want to, but for REVENGE! I've taken a water bottle out and try to wet it as it tries to swoop me. I tried wobbling the tree that the magpie sits on after swooping me. Tried other things too, but I don't want to discuss it here in case I get reported for animal cruelty. No matter what I do, the magpie is not scared of me. It is more like I was scared of the magpie. Have I told you I have also tried yelling at it and cursing it? lol.

When I was walking home from the bus stop today... there were 2 of them! GOSH... Why haven't I tried walking a different route to get where I want to? Cos I'm lazy and its a good extra 3 min walk!!

what a waste!

Look at the food going to waste!! Thats really not all of it. Just imagine another 2,3 more trolleys of bread that's going into the bin. That's the usual amount each day basically...

To be honest, that's nothing really compared to my department. Every Sat and Sun mornings I throw out a good trolley's worth of fruits and vegs. Maybe twice as much as that trolley above? The stuff I throw out are basically perfectly fine, but it's past the used by date. Other people don't do quality checks during the week and they expect me to do a good job on the weekend and fix it up! Hence I throw so much stuff out on the weekend! Sometimes this grandma always come and find me while I do the quality check and look the stuff I throw out. If she wants it, I usually just give it to her for a bargain price. Last time I gave her a few packets of truss tomatoes; rrp $3.99 a pack; best before today; perfectly fine; tomatoes still firm; sold it to her for 50 cents. If you wanna get some bargains, come and find me at Coles. I'm not a huge fan of throwing shit out when people in the 3rd world countries are starving to death!

procrastinating

im so good at it! i literally just sat in my chair and surfed the web for the whole bloody day (and of course having tvb on in the background). I was reading msgs of forums related to kelly clarkson, tvb and other useless crap. gosh, and i was just randomly clicking buttons, playing restaurant city, farmville, country story and happy farm on facebook! I don't think anyone can do what I can do in terms of procrastination. I so should be doing hw. Esp chem and chinese. But i have something against stuff that starts with the letter 'c'. farrrrrrrr out!

best selling secrets

I'm watching this series called 'Best Selling Secrets.' It has 364 episodes, and I'm up to the 243 episode mark. I really like this series even though its quite old. I really can't stop watching it. It's so addictive and I really like the storyline. I think I can re-watch the whole thing if I had time. It's probably one of my favourite long-term running drama series, alongside 'Off Pedder'. I can say I've watched over 5 episodes today, when I should of been studying some Chinese... oh well, I guess 1 more episode won't hurt. lol.
