Well, the last few days of the holidays are coming and uni is starting again all not soon enough 
Frankly, 6 weeks of holidays is well and truly enough for me. I can’t wait till uni classes actually start up and I’ve got something else other than work to focus my mind on.
Has been raining for the past week or so and it was meant to be very wet and stormy in Perth yesterday. The weather bureau even pin pointed the time of 5pm when the wild weather would supposedly be starting. It didn’t start raining till 8pm if I recall from memory. They even said that there would be winds of up to 100 km/h, which thankfully didn’t happen. 100 km/h winds don’t sound comforting at all, especially not since I had just gotten home at 4.30pm yesterday.
Work was sort of relatively normal yesterday, worked with Amy instead of Andrew today and it was majorly busy at work, which is a very good thing on many fronts. Didn’t give me time to brood over last week’s incident and it kept us on our toes. We made twice as what they did in morning, which is majorly great
Anyhow, time to go and get the brain juices flowing again after drying up over the break
Interesting……
I suppose a deep and meaningful post is due after letting my brain rot for as long as it has been stewing in my spinal fluid. Just today while waiting for the bus to get back home from work, I saw 3 girls at the bus stop. I wouldn’t exactly call them ladies or women, because they look slightly younger than me and if I had to estimate their ages, I’d say they were something like 18 or 19 years old. One of them was pushing a baby stroller and the bunch of them weren’t exactly inconspicuous. They were talking and cussing left and right while talking about what they were going to buy in the city later on.
Girl 1: 1st we need to buy that necklace from Diva, glasses from Myers or Jay Jays and clothes.
Girl 2 & 3: Yea, what time is the ****ing bus coming? We’re going to be late!
Basically the whole conversation was centered around that topic and guys. And how those sexy guys are everywhere etc. At this point, I put on my ipod because I could no longer take their verbal diarrhea polluting my ears.
There was a baby girl in the stroller and I think she sat up and the girl I presume is her mother was yelling at her to lie down, stop kicking off the blanket and things that a baby would usually do. When I caught a glimpse of the kid, she was less than 1 year old as best as I can estimate.
My heart went out for the little kid. Poor thing was born in such condition and at such a young age is already at risk for a number of things like abuse and lower SES. Then this purple Subaru WRX GTI drove by with its loud exhaust (now I h ave nothing against that car, I actually love loud cars) with its window down and next thing I know, I hear all 3 girls wolf whistling at that guy. Really loudly. And going, “Yo, sexy!”. They were literally screaming at the guy to look at them. I think I nearly barfed when I saw their behaviour. The girl pushing the stroller had on a red bra (could be seen above her shirt from the back) and a black tank top with her breast almost spilling out of it and a mobile phone tucked into the side. Her outfit and attitude just screamed out skank.
When the bus came and everyone piled into it, everytime a black guy walked past or the bus passed a black guy, all 3 girls will bang on the windows and wolf whistle and yell, “Hey sexy! Looky here” or something along those lines. Nearing the city, there was this black guy that got on the bus and let’s just say they attracted a lot of uncomfortable attention to the poor dude and themselves. The bus was already quite full and when the guy came in they went, “Yo, let his sexy ass in. Move it buster”. I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor guy who was trying to ignore their blatant wolf whistles and poor choice of flirting words.
Sometimes I wonder why people act the way they do. Is it because they don’t love themselves enough to respect themselves and act like civilised people? Or is that the norm for some of them?
Either way, there certainly are many people out there in the world with all kinds of different attitudes and behaviours. Only thing I ask is at least behave yourselves in public so others around you can try and live a civilised life and enjoy the beauty of a nice fine day in the city.
As per usual, I couldn’t sleep with all the anticipation about the announcement of results. I went to bed at around 11pm last night after I bid farewell to the girls (Ange, you were hilarious jumping around last night….hahaha) post Friends and Krispy Kremes night. Woke up at about 2ish am and started tossing and turning in my bed, wondering and having a gut feeling that my results were up.
Checked my phone, already expecting a msg from one of the girls and true enough Ange msged to say that results were out. And so I dragged my sorry ass with the haywire hair out of bed to go check the computer. Thankfully I kept the laptop on standby so I wouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes for it to start up…….My fingers were crossed and thankfully the connection wasn’t as bad as I thought and within seconds I saw the results. Not too bad, 2 distinctions which I expected and the other 2 were as I expected as well. The hard papers were just a killer, but I’m glad its all over and done with.
Now I can REALLY enjoy the rest of my 6 week break. Well the 2 and a half weeks that is left of it anyway.
I feel like dancing and working up a sweat suddenly. Haha….The excitement and adrenaline from the results feels really good! FINALLY I can put my files for semester 1 away and celebrate getting thru everything! Not to mention I’m overhauling my wardrobe, putting aside things to either charity bin or sell online or something. Maybe I should get an e-bay account and sell the things from my wardrobe that I don’t want so at least I can make some money out of it
Well, its back to cleaning my room for me! And possibly pubbing at the Floreat on Friday night…Hehe
Me, Lin, Zaneta, Kim and Euhin were having half price waffles today at Gelares when suddenly the topic turned to what type of drunk we’d each be. Some how this feels a bit like deja vu cause we’ve had this conversation about which character from Friend’s we’d each be. It was unanimously agreed that I was sort of Monica-ish 
Anyway, back to the question: What kind of drunk would I be? I think I would be a talkative drunk. Talk about random stuff to random people and start talking to the table lamp to make it stop shining onto my face. Or start talking to the girls about random stuff and not shut up because the alcohol has taken over my brain reactions.
Watched Music & Lyrics last night and I just can’t get the song out of my head. Now I feel like learning how to play it on the piano, it sounds so beautiful in the movie!
[Cora]
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
[Alex]
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
[Cora]
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere
[Alex]
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
[Cora]
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end
We’re having a Friends night again to go over various episodes of Friends. I think I’m still stuck as an undergraduate of the whole TV series, I can remember vague episodes here and there but somehow I still can’t recite the lines yet….Hahaha….Oh, and Ange’s brought back Krispy Kremes from Melbourne!!! I’m addicted to those donuts! You know, it would be a huge money maker if someone went and brought over the franchise from the Eastern States to WA, I bet there’ll be this massive ass queue for the donuts.
Anyway, results are out tomorrow!! I didn’t get any supps this semester which is a good thing, but I’m really wanting to know my results!!! The anticipation is seriously killing me here its not funny. I get tomorrow off, so I’m going to sleep in and rush to the computer 1st thing tomorrow morning and look at the numbers. Or maybe I’ll be woken up by someone else who will be screaming down the phone, “Results are out!! Results are out!!”
Or maybe I’ll just let the phone ring. Who knows, I haven’t decided yet
On Saturday me and Andrew were working and there was this guy who walked in eating Nando’s Peri Peri Chips and wanting to order a cake for someone’s birthday. I started salivating at the smell of those damn chips. And as if that wasn’t enough, at 7.15pm, another guy came in with this freshly fried batch of chips from the fish and chips store just down the road for us. I tell you, my stomach was doing the cha cha moves, wanting a bite of those loooooooooovely chips.
Has Baskin Robbins’ Peanut Butter and Chocolate ice cream yesterday. It was the best! After all the craving for the ice cream on Sunday night during the exam period it was like a persistent itch finally being scratched. Ahhhhhh……
So much for the diet plan.
Watched Norbit yesterday at home, was sooooo funny! Poor Norbit who always gets bullied by his wife Rasputia. Lol. The way Norbit was portrayed, it made him look like he was stuck in one of those abusive relationships but instead of the male being abusive and crass, its the female half that’s got no etiquette or finesse. My heart felt for poor Norbit when he got married to Rasputia….Haha….He looked like he was constipated in the wedding scene
Anyhow, I’m off now to get some things done before I head back to work at 3pm today. Everyone gets off work the 2nd half off the day and I’m jsut getting ready to go to work
Well, see half the holidays are gone and I feel as if my brain is beginning to rot from its disuse. I think my brain cells are starting to atrophy and I’m turning into a bimbo from all the shopping and walking around in the city and Harbourtown and just looking at the amount of clothes, shoes, bags and everything else on sale during the stock take season.
You know, I think I wouldn’t survive very well if I were to become a housewife and sit at home and organise the house. My brain would be crying out for some stimulation apart from, say, figuring out what the price difference is for apples in Subi markets and Woolies. Not that I’m dissing housewives out there, its just that I think that being a full-time housewife isn’t something that I’d like to do in the future.
Went out Zaneta today in the city cause I felt like walking around in the city today after work. Managed to buy pseudo pearl earrings for 2 bucks at Harbourtown’s Table Eight store. We also booked our free make up lesson (just cause it was free and we thought it’d be fun :P) at the Benefit counter in Myer for next Tuesday. Zaneta’s leaving on Wednesday for Malaysia, so we’d hang out on Tuesday before she leaves and before the whole uni madness starts again.
I’ll be glad to check results on Wednesday and find out that I’ve passed everything, I mean I should have passed right? They’ve sent me my tax invoice for next semester’s tuition fees. That’s gotta account for something. I can’t wait to start uni and fall back into routine again. I like my routine and hopefully we’ll get the classes that we want for uni and Ange, Lin and me will be in the same classes again. It feels so weird not seeing them always, and its weird not being in the same classes as them and hanging out with them during break time.
Things are going to be so different this sem, I’m just hoping its not going to be as hard as I think it’ll be.
The phrase just popped into my head while I was taking a leisurely stroll in Perth City today and this middle aged guy randomly sneezed without covering his mouth. All I could think off were the germs flying about in the air when he sneezed and how I hoped I wouldn’t catch a cold from them.
And this guy looked well dressed enough to possess some social etiquette, but somehow I think he missed that lesson in school. But somehow I would have thought it’d be common sense to at least whip out a handkerchief or use your hand to at least cover flying, projectile snot and germs coming out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze. Maybe it isn’t so common sense after all.
This post reminded me today that some people don’t realise their actions in public portray of themselves sometimes. After reading that post last night, I couldn’t help but realise how many people flash their butt cracks to the public, intentionally or unintentionally, I don’t know. What I do know is that it sometimes is disturbing to see butt cracks on some people in public *shudders at memories of today*
Anyway, had quite a relaxing time strolling in the city, witnessing the hustle and bustle of daily life and just listening to my ipod. Stock take sales are raging madly in the city and its hard to walk past the stores and not buy anything that is like 70% off. Though I must say, Harbourtown is the best place for bargains, Suite 62 Boutique in front of Valley Girl/Temt is one of the best places to shop cause of all the nice cheap stuff there. There isn’t an item of clothing that I have bought from that place that is more than $10 bucks. Literally. So if anybody is looking for great bargains, look no further than there
Somehow I think I’ve managed to injure my ipod, mine is the really old one without the click wheel, with the 4 buttons in between the screen and the wheel. The back is the usual shiny thing, and the front doesn’t have the glass thing like the new ones and I think I somehow either squished the ipod in its case with my stuff or someone must have stepped on it or something heavy must have been on top of it because the metal casing is coming out on the side. I’m not sure if it was caused by the water I split in my bag the other day, but I sure hope that nothing happened to it cause I think I’d go insane without my ipod to listen to.
Managed to get Jasmine’s present for her birthday, which is today. Aunty called and I’m working in the morning tomorrow instead of the afternoon, so I’m off to bed now. Have to get out of the house early to go look for my keychain that I lost on the way home. It’s the Top OT one. I’m going to find it and when I do, I’m keeping it away and not using it as a keychain anymore cause its all the way from the UK (well, 1st being made in China :P) and I can’t bear losing it. So, that’s all from me tonight. Toodles!
Didn’t realise I was supposed to work till 5pm today, but had dinner with Jas and family cause its her birthday tomorrow. Meant to go buy her birthday present today after work, but plans changed last minute so I have to go to the city tomorrow to get her present and other stuff too.
Results are coming out on Wednesday at 5pm officially, but knowing them it’ll be out like at 1-2am. So I’m getting up early before work and checking my results so that at least I can work in peace and not fret the whole time I’m there. Speaking about fretting, I’ve managed to convince myself that its no point worrying about the exam results now. There isn’t anything either me or anybody can do at this stage to change the way I answered the exam papers or whether I need supplementary papers. Actually right, I don’t think I needed to convince myself that, in the back of my mind it seems logical that there is no use losing sleep over the whole thing.
Speaking of which, I dreamt that I failed something *gulp* Which I don’t think is true, cause everytime I dream that I failed something, it never happens *fingers crossed though* Better not say too soon
I feel a bit anti-social lately. All I want to do is hide in my room all day or go shopping by myself and drown myself in my thoughts while walking lazily in the city. Listening to my ipod while walking is definitely the way to go tomorrow Anyways, I’ve got to get going. My right arm and fingers hurt, think one of my nerves in my hand is being pinched cause everytime I grease tins at work it hurts and everytime I flex my forearm my hand goes numb and tingly.
Well, life’s been pretty much routine lately. Work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Get Tuesday ad Thursday off to take a breather and possibly go out with friends. I think my brain’s rotting away from disuse these holidays. I’d imagine summer’s going to be worse, but I really should go start practical this summer just so I can complete my 1000 hours faster and so I have more time at the end of next year to go work at Myers or David Jones as a casual for Christmas before I register in 2009 at an Occupational Therapist. Finally.
These holidays have been alright so far, been catching up on the TV, though I still have yet to touch Scrubs Season 1 yet. I feel so anti-social lately, I just want to stay at home and hang out by myself. I think it must be the weather with all the storms and rain that’s making me want to huddle under the doona and sleep the whole day
The only thing exciting happening lately is that Perth had some storms yesterday which flooded the Kwinana Freeway and caused some trees in King’s Park to fall and some damage and power cuts to suburbs around Perth. Apparently Subi had a power black out. I’m really surprised, cause every year it seems to be that Subi has power black outs even though it is one of the more expensive suburbs.
Anyway, I’m off to go find something to do. Hmmm….
