Taking the public transport to work everyday has inevitably made me develop yet another pet peeve, that is vying for first place on my list.
Why do people HAVE to read the newspaper on crowded trains? Look, if there's ample space in the carriage, I wouldn't give two hoots even if someone chose to sleep on the floor, but this is peak hour human traffic we're talking about, where people are packed like sardines! I've even encountered situations whereby I'm literally breathing in foul fumes that are being emmitted from armpits/scalps because unfortunately, my nose happened to be situated about 3cm away from the source. I honestly wouldn't wish this on anyone but my eternal enemies.
So why do imbecile and inconsiderate people have to compromise the (already lack-of) comfort levels of other passengers for his/her own reading pleasure? I wouldn't mind someone reading a small book, or even playing your PSP for that matter, because not everyone likes idling. But reading a newspaper, especially MY PAPER because it's uninformative and filled with heaps of stupid adverts, is unacceptable in a crowded environment!!! These people don't just do it discreetly; they have to open up the damn papers so wide that it's even bigger than their shoulder width. What happens to the people around them? They either end up bending their body into a weird angle (because selfish bastard/bitch decides that if he/she wants to read the papers, he/she WILL read it and open it so wide that it smacks other people in their faces. Fuckers!), get newspaper ink rubbed onto their clean white shirts or in my case, become the victim of foul fumes from standing too close to another person. This has to be the epitome of "too close for comfort".
I happened to be standing behind one such aunty this morning and I was so close to pulling the papers out of her hands. This aunty was so engrossed in reading the ADVERTS in MY PAPER that she kept backing closer and closer towards me. Watch it, lady! I'm not a wall/door you can lean against!
Look, what the fuck is so important that you can't wait to read before you reach the office? Which brings me to another of my pet peeve; people peering over the shoulder of the newspaper owner, to catch a glimse of today's headlines, or gossips.
To the first group of people -- fuck off!!!!!!!!
To the second -- get your own FREE copy from the uncles/aunties who are stationed at every station, and make sure you don't open the damn thing in the train! |

After being seated in an area that feels like a sauna, I finally found the perfect cold drink to cool your insides ( and out). Freshly blended green apple juice with heaps of ice cubes. Yum!
And, I turned twenty two yesterday. :D
Dinner with a few of the people that matter was a huge success. Props to D, who recommended the steak that every red meat lover loved. I'm not big on meat so maybe I have really missed out on something this time round. Would have loved to have a couple of other friends there but sadly, they are on another continent. Nonetheless, this year was the best birthday I've had in the last 5 years. Obviously I have pictures to boot but I'll have to upload it another day.
Thanks to everyone with your well wishes, all the way from Australia, UK and the USofA. And most of all, K, for making this happen. :)

STOP FUCKING SAWING THE TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those assholes have been at it since 9 in the fucking am. It's exam period right now and I don't get to crawl into bed until 5am. It's now almost 4 in the arvo and they've barely covered HALF the tree. Yes. The tree is that huge and they are that slow.
I can't concentrate on what is already a struggling unit for me and I have half the mind to ask them to stop doing what they're doing. Seroiusly, what's wrong with the tree!? I like it and it doesn't pose a threat to the neighbourhood. I hope karma bites those assholes in their butt for killing a good old tree AND breaking my concentration every 15 seconds with the chainsaw. |

Once bitten burnt, twice shy?
Apparently not.
Someone needs to remind me to STOP extinguishing birthday candles by flicking it like a matchstick. This is the third time I'm hurting myself with hot candle wax. Damnit!
On a side note, I will NEVER understand how people can enjoy burning themselves with hot wax during hot steamy sessions. Not sexy at all. It's painful and it can potentially burn the fine hair on your skin. Well, the hair on my finger looks frizzed. |

For all you GG fans out there (which I'm pretty sure everyone already is a convert by now), if you haven't already heard, there's a new gay on the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay. I honestly don't look as excited as I sound here. No surprises for guessing who he is. If you think hard enough, the answer will stare straight at you. I guess it doesn't matter if I watch the next episode or not, since I already know who's gay and who he gay-ed with. But, I might just watch it cos his gay partner's name doesn't quite ring a bell.
Absolutely cannot wait for the next episode to air!! As Trent puts it aptly, bring it, bitches!!!!! |

Holidays always seem to pass by all too quickly. Didn't occur to me that it's ALREADY Sunday. Oh well.. there's overnight mj to look forward to, on top of the usual mundane stuff that us poor students have to get through with.

Blah blah blah blah blah. Oh stfu. You don't know anything. |

The neighbours from Unit 7 have kindly dropped us a handwritten note saying that they'll be holding a party tonight, and have promised to try to keep noise level low and not have the party carry on till too late. Even left her number on the note, should we require the noise level to be lowered.
It's almost midnight, and by OZ standards, it IS pretty damn late. The party is still on going and those mid-twenties are still going at it, singing to the most awesome music that I've never heard of at the top of their lungs. The organisers have hung fairy lights along the balcony as well as the tree down below. Al fresco dining on a cool Saturday evening, drinking wine and having a delish dinner with great great company.. what more can anyone ask for??
Usually if this happened in Singapore (I have pretty damn inconsiderate neighbours who allow construction to begin at 8am on a SUNDAY before they moved into the neighbourhood, and 2 houses down from mine, I have neighbours who play mahjong into wee hours of the morning.. Fuckers)
Oh!! I recognised the song they are playing now! Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys. They have the awesomest playlist!!
I'm living diagonally opposite them and the noise is pretty damn loud. I can only pity the new neighbours next to them, who have a daughter aged about 4. Their lights are off but I'm sure they are having problem sleeping as the bedrooms are just beside the balcony.
It's Ghost Busters on the playlist now! Lovin' it!! |

How is it possible that every night, l have to stress over what to wear to Uni the next day, when my cupboard has a decent amount of clothing in it? I just don't get it!! And more often than not, I end up wearing jeans paired with a tee. Again.
Maybe I should invest in a good pair of black sneakers and start going grunge. |

I wonder why some people would want to pretend to be somebody that they are not. It's really strange.
What.. do they wanna be socially accepted? Or do they think that their old(er) friends are too uncool and it's simply going to be a social suicide just to be seen with them uncool people?
"Oh.. how tragic!!!" *roll eyes*
Am starting to question who's the real you; when you're with me, or when you're off in your little virtual world.
I can never understand, especially since they weren't like that when I first got to know them? People can change. And change pretty damn quickly. |

I would love to read about Paris's engagement to Benji and her rumoured pregnancy, Nicky's severe weight loss and a whole lot of other trashy celeb goss. Damn!! That magazine is just lying at the corner of my bed!
I would love to get started on my job apps.
I would love to snuggle under the covers with a good read and a warm cup of hazelnut latte from Gloria Jean's (IMHO, I think they make the best hazelnut latte in Perth).
But because I've been a really really bad girl for the past few days, splurging a few K's in 2 hours(don't ask. If you know, thats great and it probably means you get to share my new baby. And so far, I've only told one person :)), promised to catch up on my readings but did not, procrastinated like hell when I had about 30 ish hours to get work done, I pay the price.
I've got about a billion to-dos written on the purple post-it note and I haven't managed to cross off anything. HOWEVER... I am determined to get at least one tute done by tonight. If I manage to squeeze in another, even better. I reckon that it's possible because Kenny's over at a friend's catching a soccer match ie, no distractions. Hehe!
Okay. Mini break over. Back to work. Toodles! |

THIRTY-FREAKIN-FIVE DEGREES CELCIUS!!!!!
What's up with the freakish weather lately?! Even Brisbane's cooler.
I went outside to line dry my laundry for a mere 5 minutes and now I can see faint tan lines from my Havs. |

Darren turned 23 on the first of August so these photos are pretty much backdated. But nonetheless, we had a good time celebrating his birthday at Char Char Bull. x)))
This is so damn overpriced but I was a hungry cow so I suggested that we placed an order for this. Who can resist the combo of turkish bread with oliveoil and vinegar... yummmm
The only edible meat (for me, that is) on the menu. Seared salmon. It was pretty dry but yeah.. not too bad.
Daphy's eye fillet which was so undercooked I wanted to throw up after all the blood started oozing out. This later became Darren's meal.
Some beefy dish that was bloody as well so Daph got the waitress to get it well done. Hahaha
Pork ribs belongs to Kenny. These come with THE BEST wedges EVERRRRRR..
Birthday boy!
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
Peacan pie
Cheesecake
Okay.. my main purpose for this post is to show you who wandered into my backyard:
A MINI ORANGE!!! FYI, Orange is my lab in Singapore. He was whining like a poor puppy the whole night and I got really excited when my snobbish & racist neighbour's back door was unlocked cos it only meant one thing; PLAY TIME!
Hahahaha.. I motioned the pup to come out and he charged towards me like a madbull (typical Orange move as well), pounced on me and scratched my thigh. :(( But nevermind that cos he was tooooo cute! Reminded me of Orange when he was a pup though this one here is no where as playful as the one I have. He followed us to our backyard and Kenny being the stupid idiot said "DON'T LET HIM COME INTO THE HOUSE AH!!! I will kill you.." *whatever.. scared say scared la..*
So that poor boy (yes. I checked) was stuck outside in the cold staring back at us through the glass on the french door. SO CUTE PLEASE!!! I wanted to kidnap him foreverrr. But then his owner found out he was missing, called his name and he ran back home. The end.
What an eventful Saturday.. |

Guess what I saw on my way home from Uni?
2 teenagers were standing in the middle of the road holding a bucket and those window wipers, the kind petrol kiosk attendants use to clean your windscreen with. They stood next to the traffic lights and waited till they turned red, and then rushed to random cars with their wipers and started cleaning them. ZOMGGGG!!!!
It was fucking funny you have to be there to fully comprehand the extent of hilariousness. There was this auntie who wore a "WHAT THE FUCK??" expression, with hands raised and palms facing the sky. Hahahahahahahha!!!! What I noticed amongst the drivers was that when the 2 idiots started charging towards their cars, they had the same instinct to lock their car doors. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
I betcha it would qualify for Just For Laughs, OZ version. Seriously... |

Taking out the wisdom teeth is always a bad idea.
Now, I have to deal with a huge swell on my right cheek for god knows how many days. And boy do I mean huge.. its like twice the size of my left (normal) cheek, with an angry red patch where the lump is. |

Can't even bare to look at it. |
