well. i've been busy since i got back! here's a brief update.


9th - arrived on weds night. flight was one of the worst flights i've ever had to take. by coincidence, 9th of jan was the scheduled date of opening for singapore airport's long awaited terminal 3 - the "home" of the airbus A380. confusion in the airport was bound to occur, since in the newspaper the day before all outbound flights were listed to depart from terminal 3. anyhoo, we were the last passengers to board the plane and had to be zipped to the gate on those beeping flashing buggy things. everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.


the only remotely good thing that happened is that the baggage weighing sensor broke when we were checking in, so we actually managed to take over about 160kgs worth of baggage. whew.


all my shopping come home with me :p


day 2 - was woken up by gentle rhythmic bouncing on the bed. mumbled 'GO AWAY' and bouncing increased in rhythm frantically. opened one eye reluctantly and found jan hovering on my bed. off to bh to pass shoes to melina and collect my yearly, then to the library to get myself some books. at around 5, hayden closed shop and we decided to stop by his aunty's house.. and those bad friends jan and hayden ignored my pleas to take the bus and plodded up like 20 hills from the pines to the house. they claim they didn't hear me but i really DID say to take the damn bus :( but nobody listened...when i finally staggered in, my legs literally gave way.


i am so unfit.


at night, we ambushed charles in his home and lured david out at the mention of cheap food. hayden's auntie shouted us dinner at some italian place on high street - first pasta in a long time tasted.. heavenly :) no offence or anything but about 2 months worth of asian food would make anyone crave a nice fat-ful burger.

called up telemarketing job and got an interview.


day 3 - met up with tina, who owes me his $20 from his bet that i'd go to tafe. LOL *smirk* free lunch at sofias, cambers. and then we went to the jap grocery store and the park to bum. good catching up, since i haven't seen tina for about 5 months.



day 4 - sleepover at haydens, planet shakers after. PS was pretty disappointing in the sense that we went into the service and was greeted by 2 repetitive loud rocky songs and a pushy speaker who emphasized too much on giving tithes and offerings as well as how many people he "saved".
no offence or anything, but i found it all very commercialised.
preacher: first time i spoke, 10 000 people came!
crowd: WOOO!!
preacher: then 20,000!
crowd: WOO!!

and at the end of the service he prayed for sick people.
preacher: 'in the name of Jesus, those with cancer will be healed!'
crowd: WOOO!!
preacher: 'in the name of Jesus, those with HIV positive will be HIV negative!!'
crowd: WOOOO!!
and then i thought how awkward it would be if it was like
preacher: 'in the name of Jesus, those with herpes will be healed!!'
crowd: *silence*
one person: WOOO!!!

lol.

so anyway we finally got back and stayed up all night watching white chicks, then scrubs. made our own fondue.. etc. it was just like singapore all over again!

being economical, as david likes to put it. buy your own cadbury chocolate and melt it.never going to max brenners again LOL. melina and i, she just bought a new camera so she's very excited. for once i wasn't the one taking photos. and i had the pleasure of bugging people for photos the moment they come online. :D
charlabelle and i fighting for the beanbags.finally settled. jan mel and i :)
as usual we stayed up all night biting each other and talking andwhatnot. when morning dawned, i was so frickin tired and grumpy that i heard buzzing in my ears. sleep deprived much?
then it was time for my job interview! mel took me to the telemarketing place, i handed in my resume, blahblahblah and then jan met us for dinner and we headed to the city. we were all so tired that we pretty much fell asleep in borders (well i sped-read as much gossipgirl as i could)
us at bus stop.
lol. unflattering photo indeed. us having dinner when we found the boys again.
was so super RAHHed when i got the newspaper. all around me i could hear excited screams and people throwing the papers into the air and flinging their arms around each other. and i had no idea where my name was. i scanned the lim's in the paper about fifty times and couldn't find my name. that's when ms. shale's voice started echoing in my head about not getting first round offers.

then i saw the headline on one of the articles in the paper called 'what to do if you miss out.'

LOL that's when i really started freaking out. so i marched up to the monash stand and demanded to know why my name wasn't in the paper, as well as check the clearly-in score.

so anxious that night that it was hard to fall asleep. but fatigue overwhelmed me eventually (night before was like 1 hour sleep MAX.) and i drifted off.. only to be woken up the next morning by an excited grandpa prodding me with his walking stick waving an envelope. ripped it open, grunted, and went back to sleep. woke up again to get ready for second group interview at the telemarketing place. at night i finally caught up with pris and she gave me a MASSIVE block of cadbury chocolate (massive.. MASSIVE like the size of an A4 paper) LOL. thanks pris! anyway twas good to catch up.. she was telling me bout trivia night.

pris: yeh the questions were really easy questions! like what is the first three words of the bible! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA easy right!!

me: ........

pris: heh... heh.. huh? are you serious?

LOL. fyi, the first three words are In The Beginning, just in case anyone asks you that

i worked today, first trial day and all in all i'm very thankful! i sold 3 plans today, even though 1 got rejected coz of the credit check and it's not as bad as i thought it would be. good job though, in the sense that i don't have to clean out anymore lamb souvlaki spits or cook or anything, just sit down at a desk and ringringring and talktalktalk.. which isn't too hard for me anyway although i get abused by lots of croaky and ultra cranky old people -_- they are all like 90 years old or something and make an average of like 1 call a week.. MAN its crazy.

so now it looks like i'm working tues,weds,thurs, and sats.

oh then.. davo, hayden mel and i went off to dance dynamics for our first hiphop/funk class. now every conceivable part of my body hurts - even parts i wasn't aware existed. legs are screaming and arms are all sore.. very very tired. but it was a ton of fun anyway and i reckon i'll keep going.

alrightys. catch soon!
