haven't really had time to blog since the last post. i still haven't gotten my carpet fixed. i did call someone to come in and have a look, but all he did was just measure the room and cut a sample out. i wanted to go look for the carpet myself, cuz its cheaper that way. but haven't been able to do that. spose to go last saturday, but ended up being stuck at home cuz our front door got painted. had to leave the door open so the paint could dry, so we ended up being stuck at home. the landlord is gonna help me look for the carpet neway, so problem solved...sorta

doesn't feel like i did much for the past week. I practically worked through the whole weekend. so i'm feeling damn tired. especially since i've been sleeping on the floor. been waking up sore all over.

what else? ermmm. Went to 4 Points Sheraton for a buffet dinner last Thursday. It wasn't too bad... but I don't think its worth it if we paid full price. They had a 2 for 1 promotion going on. So its $27.50 each (instead of $55). The desserts are nice, but the rest of the stuff weren't anything special. I think the buffet we had at Marriots was just as good, if not better.

On Friday we were spose to go eat at the Spanish Club in the city, but plan got cancelled because Andy ffk. I think he had a pretty stressful weekend, mainly because he couldn't play WoW ^_^ At first his internet died. When that got fixed, his computer died. He wanted to go out and buy a new computer straightaway so he could play WoW asap o_O aihs..the terrible things an addiction causes. and to think its indirectly our fault :)

today was the single most exciting day i've had the whole year. i got the mother of all wakeup calls... a toasted foot and a burning bed o_O

my heater melted down or something and took out a corner of my bed along with it. Waking up to face a wall of orange flame is not something I would want to face again. My foot got toasted by the fire...but I didn't get any burns or anything. It just feels a little raw now... kinda like after touching a hot kettle.

My bed burns pretty well too. The flames were high enough to lick my face. At least its easy enough to put out. 2 buckets of water did the trick. I wanted to use the fire extingusher...but I forgot where it was. I kept thinking "living room..living room", but thats where the extinguisher in my KL house was o_O I did try beating out the flames at first... but instantly regretted it.

Step 1) grab nearest pillow
Step 2) discovers that i'm holding my favourite pillow...switch pillows ^_^
Step 2) whack away at the fire...
Step 3) choke to death at the ash that flies into your face

I have no bloody idea how it happened though. I don't leave the heater on when I sleep and even the power outlet was switched off. So its like wtf? Can only attribute it to a serious bout of bad luck la. Aihs. i just spent half my morning cleaning up the mess. mainly feathers from my blanket...and ash everywhere. have to wash half my wardrobe too. sigh... and i don't even want to estimate how much this will cost me. bloody huge hold in the middle of my room. I think i have to recarpet the whole room. Cuz theres holes in several other spots as well. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! stress... now i REALLY feel like going back home

heyy...what do you know? its my birthday today! and I'm gonna do...*drumroll* absolutely nothing for it! :p well..that's not entirely true, cuz i'm gonna go work later ^_^

its not like being officially 24 (ughh!) is gonna make my life any different. Don't really feel like doing any celebrations this year, cuz I don't feel like I deserve it. Jeremy said Ken-chan wanted to have us over for a steamboat dinner yesterday, but then I had to work :'( Aihs... I was thinking probably just having dinner and be done with 'celebrations' but I'm gonna be at work this weekend as well, so might probably end up not doing anything. I was at least supposed to go out for lunch with Lia today, but then I got ditched cuz she got called in for work.

I only just realised how absolutely dead my life would be if I didn't have internet Hmmmm....that statement really sounds kinda loser o_O But anyway, I'm just saying that cuz of my odd working hours. I usually don't get any day shifts at work now, so when I'm not working, everyone else is. And everyone is free when I'm at work o_O Not that it makes any difference now la...since Thos and Andy are stuck on WoW during the nights. Double aihs...

At least I got Fatt's project to keep me occupied for the moment. Getting paid $25/hour for it...so its a decent deal compared to the rest of my jobs. Maybe I should start considering this as a viable alternative to work. Just freelance my way through life. Sounds like good money...considering Fatt's received a quote of rm4K for this project from some guys in KL o_O Looks like a 15-20 hours job to me. Less than 10 if the guys are experienced and they don't need to do detailed documentation. So it might be roughly $200/hour... real good money $_$ I feel so cheated now...$25/hour *sniff* *sniff*

yeah.. i know i just posted an entry, but i wanted to link this:

Store Wars

Absolutely hilarious...
oh boy... feel so tired now. i only slept about 2 hours. got called in to work at the bar last night. i finished at 2.30am la... but then no bus and i'm too cheapo to take a cab. so i just park myself at delifrance and study. they actually have pretty good hot choc there. or did I mention that already? and their sausage croissant pretty nice too ^_^ i am soooo gonna get fat(ter :p) no more exercising too. aihs. feel uber lazy to start. thos isn't much motivation either...cuz hes been too busy to go training as well.

yeah. so anyway, i reach home about 5.30, then I played WoW for a while before sleeping. then jacq called me at around 8/9 to ask if I was going back KL. oh! I don't think i've mentioned that I'm contemplating going back for a short holiday. I want to go Yuchun's wedding, which is on the 2nd July. I really want to go... but I'm kinda torn between spending the money just to go back and have fun. Don't feel like I deserve it. Plus I just got another reason to stick around here. I got called up a while ago for a phone interview for a associate consultant position with HP. cool huh? i didn't do too well though. Brain wasn't functioning properly with the lack of sleep. I answered the questions pretty crappily (no, this isn't a dictionary word) and the good answers only came to me AFTER the interview was over o_O Oh well... i can't be stuffed dawdling on whats past.

oh! and i bumped into Adrian (uni friend) last night too. He looks like hes doing pretty well. So corporate looking compared to the last time I met up with (roughly a year ago). Didn't get to catch up with him much cuz I was on my way to work, but I think he might still be in CBA. Not too sure if he is still studying for his Masters though. So yeah...working life really does change people. Heheheh. He was quite the bludger back in uni too. Not that I wasn't...in fact, i still am! :p

what does it mean to be "full on" looking for work? I haven't had full time work for exactly 5 months today. I'm getting pretty tired of applying for work and stuff. Plus I tailor each cover letter I send out to target the job and company. So its kinda discouraging that I've only been to 1 interview so far o_O And thats out of errmm.. an average of 3 applications each week? I'm not one of those random mofos who apply for jobs that they don't know shit about. I only pick jobs that I know I can do... so its extra discouraging in a sense. Ah well

It doesn't feel too bad since I get to muck around doing part time work at the cafe and bar. I'm actually starting to enjoy making coffee and hot chocolate at work. Its pretty fun. I feel like getting one of those coffee machines so I can play around with it at home. I used to make hot choc at home a lot, but I don't anymore cuz you can't make a good one without the milk steamer.

On the other hand, I feel really bummed out after the weekends. Cuz I get shifts at both the bar and cafe. I wake up, go to work, come home, immediately sleep then wake up and go work again. The previous week was worse. No time to even come home to sleep. Just finished work at the bar and then I crashed at the Opera House staff room b4 starting work again o_O I've even been dreaming of working when I sleep. I know I was dreaming about making coffee b4 I woke up this morning. And I had the club's music playing in my head b4 I went to sleep. Aihs...

Oh well... I pretty much have the whole week off. No shifts until the weekend. So I can rest up abit.

leaving for work again in about 10 or so minutes. just eating a bowl of sausages now. should have bought some mozzarella as well... then i can melt it over the sausage. yummm!!

I got called in to work at Star Bar last night. I've never been to the club area before, so its pretty nice. The environment is definitely alot nicer than Shark. It used to be Planet Hollywood... so they kept the decor and stuff. I was working at the cafe as well... from 4-10, but I asked to leave at 8... so that I can start at Star Bar from 9-4 (ended up finishing at 4.45 though) Best thing about it is...its a Sunday AND a public holiday. So the money is pretty damn good :)

It wasn't as busy as expected la, so there wasn't a whole lot to do. The crowd definitely ain't as hot as the one at Space. Lots of uhh...very meaty girls o_O At least there were quite a few cute asian girls.

aiya..no time to blog la. need to go b4 i miss the bus.

another long weekend for me. I actually woke up because I was dreaming about working o_O Working too much :p Well... not really la. I think i'm still working less than 40 hours a week. maybe 30-35 including my shifts at the bar. Its just that the shifts I get turn my bio clock around. Worked from 9-5am last night. Its pretty good. I STILL haven't started out at the bar... the management kinda disorganised imo. Oh well..at least the money is still decent.

I got an additional shift today as well. and its sunday + public holiday pay too! Sweeettt!!!! but ermm.. gonna be quite sick la. cuz i'm supposed to be working at the cafe from 4-10pm, but i'm gonna ask to leave early and then start at the bar from 9-4am o_O Nice yeah?? :p

And I didn't even get much sleep too. Not that it stopped me from playing a spot of WoW after I woke up :)

24+ hours...no sleep. coffee before work was an 'ok' idea. coffee after work again definitely a bad one o_O

i think the late nights and the odd hours are starting to get to me. starting to getting pimples again :'( and quite a few at the same time! well.. its not like i wash my face with cleanser daily as well. bloody lazy to do that. i don't have the best complexion in the world la... but at least i don't get huge ass pimples all that often.

heading off to work soon as well. just nuking my lunch at the moment. brought back some lasagna from work last night. i'm sooo getting fat(ter?) not exercising as much... and i've been eating some high carb stuff like pasta again. my weight is still sort of the same though...hovering between 78 to 80+. I tried starting up my daily home exercises on monday... but then WoW got updated with a new patch yesterday...so errr.. 'nuff said ^_^

nothing much new apart from that. i had lunch with a girl from melbourne on tuesday though. 27 yrs old...and she owns an apartment in Docklands (in melbourne) and drives an IS200 o_O makes me wonder where i'm headed. aihs. shes working as a maitre'd (no idea how to pronounce this) its pretty good pay for a relatively simple job. gets about $50K+ p.a. Aihs...what the hell was I thinking when I studied in uni...

haven't slept for the past 24 hours. worked the graveyard at Shark and a double shift at Sidewalk today. I feel like skipping work tomorrow as well... but aihs. I probably need the money. I doubt I can continue this for long.... body can't last

ugh... feel bloody awful now. i'm damn tired and really need to sleep. but my blocked nose is just too distracting. near impossible to sleep when u can barely breathe through your nose. i can breathe through my mouth... but its just as uncomfortable cuz my throat is too dry.

i just ended up watching anime on the computer, and eating crackers spread with nutella (which is invariably gonna make my throat worse...)

i got my books from amazon! so i can start studying but not really looking forward to it. the MCAD books are about as thick as the yellow pages o_O sighh... hope the material isn't too difficult for me la. other than that... nothing significant to report. except that i'm a lvl 57 in Wow :) only 3 more lvls to 60!!
