somehow, i still find it surreal, that training basically ended today. well, technically it ends tomorrow, but tomorrow's all about having fun, and getting paid at the same time :)

i'm glad the assessment is over. the night before the assessment (tuesday night), i was tossing and turning in bed so badly and i couldn't fall asleep for ages. i had all sorts of images - from standing at the end of the pool jumping around with joy to sitting at the grandstands sobbing away -_- weird, aye?

but i'm REALLY glad it's over for now. if i continue with my job, then this will be repeated in 2 years. hahahaha~ but anyway, mr team leader was super supportive on that day. i'm usually quite cheerful in the morning, chatting away with my fellow training mates, but that particular morning (wednesday), i was just stoning away, looking really worried.

when mr team leader arrived, he came over to give me words of encouragement. one thing that i really like about my trainers, manager and team leader is that they never put the pressure on you. they'll just keep encouraging you, and make sure that we know they're there to help us through. when i was waiting for my turn to jump in to swim, there was this huge guy sitting beside me called Wills. he's like a massive teddy bear you've always wanted as a child, but if he was my teddy bear, i'll die of suffocation.

anyway, because he's such a nice teddy bear, and i was feeling very stressed, i kept punching him, and it felt good! haha, yes very mean of me, but he just went "WTF?!" everytime i punched in a funny way. then i explained to him that i am feeling very stressed :p and he said "okay! keep punching then!" LOL.

then i jumped in to swim with 2 other girls, and boy, i was struggling like a pig -_- mr team leader will be assessing my swimming aagin in 2-3 weeks, but hehe, it's a lot easier swimming at LEP than MAC coz i can stand! bwahahaha~ and mr team leader is super slack :p

so, what's on the agenda tomorrow? we've got our last bit of training tomorrow till 11am, then it's the NPLA (national pools lifeguard award) competition, which i am NOT taking part for obvious reasons, and then there's the BBQ to celebrate the end of our 3 weeks training, and it's back on site...except that well...sorry, i cant say what's gonna happen then :p just in case someone from MCC actually reads or comes across my blog!

then around 7.30, it's the staff dinner, so it's kinda like our "welcome" dinner. and that'll be at Thai Flame. i can somehow feel/ sense that there's an evil plot to try to get me to drink or get me pissed -.-" but either way, i have 2 very good mates that will look out for me, including mr team leader...since i'm the "baby" of LEP..in a way. not because i'm the youngest, but because i am the smallest. hehehehe. oh and mr manager will probably keep a look out for me too. since i'm his "good" staff. hahahahahahhaa. good, apparently :p if he only knew the things we get up to at work. *giggles*

ANYWAY, i'm officially starting work on Saturday, so if any of you's go to the gym/ physio/ pools at LEP, do come and say hi :D

gonna wait for daddy dearest to get hungry so we can go out for dinner. meantime, i will get out of my ridiculously HUGE uniform -_- i feel lost in it!

imagine..

at this time tomorrow, i'll know if i'm a certified lifeguard or not.

oh, the nerves!! it's driving me up the wall. part of me just wants to get it done and over with, but another part of me is being a worry-wart -_-

this is so not cool. i cant eat, i cant just relax and do nothing, because my brain will start telling me to go swimming...and i really dont want to. why? because i'm 'conserving' energy so that i will be fine tomorrow. we were in the pools from 12.30 till 4.45 today. i think i'm gonna be sore tomorrow

*runs off to get deep heat*

the only part that i'm worried about if my swimming. when i get too excited or nervous, i cant seem to breathe properly. and guess what? it's difficult to swim when you cant breathe properly. your coordination goes all over the place and you might as well start calling for help :p

i have an option...and that is to swim head up. but because i've only "mastered" swimming head up like, today, i dont think i will. coz it's really tiring....oh i dont know >"< it's really driving me crazy!

today's session was alright..why? because mr team leader trained us, and he's pretty cruisy (sometimes i wonder how he manages to get any work done!). the other trainer who usually trains us was just sitting around and did nothing. and i'm happy :p coz he's pretty mean and strict and staunch.

oh, and i swam without goggles on today (except when i was doing my laps) and my contacts went UP my eyes TWICE! TWICE i had to shut one eye and run to the changing rooms and dig it out. mr team leader feels my pain, coz he wears contacts too, and boy, they sure are annoying! thank God for 1-day disposable contact lenses! hopefully tomorrow will be better, but i managed to duck-dive with my eyes open and when i re-surfaced, my contacts were still there! LOL

anyway, i'm gonna go wash up and continue to keep myself busy and do something not work related..maybe i should just go to bed now :p

this is the hairstyle that i'm looking forward to getting...but i dont know if it'll suit me, since i have a round face..but anyway, my hair needs a good crop. the 13% chlorine swimming pool water is really sucking the life out of my hair -.-"

today...was a rather long day, but interesting i'd say. we got to act like kids (for once!) and went into the learner's pool, which is 0.8m deep. hehe. and we had to "learn" how to swim in there :) the objective of today's training was to train us to be assistant swim teachers, also known as the Assisstant Swim Teacher's Award..

you know what's amazing with this job? we gain SIXTEEN NZQA credits if we complete everything..so far, i've only completed TWO. hehe, both for first aid.

someone commented that my handwriting looks better than those printed out. hehehe :) even our trainer nodded in approval and i got "excellent" for my work today. we had to write out a plan to teach kids. i cant wait till i get to teach kiddies! only one more week!! ONE MORE WEEK!!

just need to get through tomorrow's practical session, and then it's the assessment, and after that it'll be pretty cruisy :)

just in case you've been missing me *grins*, well, here's how i look like these days :p

no changes i'd say, except for chlorine soaked hair most of the time and a few zits here and there. oh, and i've ditched my coloured contact lenses! time to get new colours :D

luv the photoshopped-butterflies on my seatbelt. LOL

if you're reading this, do pray that i'll be able to do well and PASS my national lifeguard award assessment on wednesday ok? thanks in advance!

second day working on-site and we've pulled pranks already..tsktsktsk, we're such bad staffs. *rofl*

see, this is what happened. mr team leader had his day off today, and us 3 seasonals had to work on-site. so, mr senior LG took us today, instead of mr team leader.

well, mr senior LG is a very funny person. at around 10am, he was teaching us some stuff about chemicals and etc, and he got all excited, and we ran up to the gym to had a chat with R. then us seasonals found out what was happening later on that morning :p

3 persons have planned something for T. mr manager has a BIG box of fridge magnets (credit card size) and he wanted to get rid of them, because there's no use. so, instead of chucking them into the rubbish bin, those 3 geniuses came up with a prank.

at 11.30am, we (6 of us - 3 seasonals and 3 senior staff) sneaked out to the staff parking. one of the senior staff pulled his 4WD right beside T's car, to block it just in case he sees us sneaking around. then, we started sticking all the magnets onto T's car.

we managed to cover ALMOST all the metal bits of the car (gotta get the photo off mr senior LG) and it looked so PRETTY. hahahaha too pretty for a pretty boy :p

when the whole car was covered with those magnets, we got another staff to go inside and tell T "something's happened to your car........." and T came running out. when all of this happened, we climbed up onto the roof of the swimming pool to have a good view.

HEHEHEHEHEHE

it was soooo funny!! the look on T's face, priceless :D

funny thing was, when mr manager came out, he knew what was going on..and he said "gosh i dont pay you guys to do things like that! 6 of you's out here! that's more than $100 i'm paying!"
LOL..but he gave us hints like "ohh, you should just stick the magnets on the left panel of his car so he'll drive home NOT knowing that he's got magnets all over his left side of the car".

BWAHAHAHAHA

i tell you, mr manager is such a crack up. all his actions...omgoodness >"< sometimes they're almost obscene. hahahahaha~

but yes, i'm always happy when i work on site :D

life as a trainee-lifeguard..

wow, i'm at the end of my 2nd week of training. time sure flies, huh?

i remember this time last week, i was feeling quite upset because i feel incompetent and i'm not up to stamina, compared to all the other people. i started hating practical session with a passion :p

anyway, i got a few tips from my trainers and mr team leader, and they all told me to not give up and keep training, and i did..few days later, i could feel my stamina improving slightly. and i've been happy since then :)

anyway, today we had to swim to warm up, and i just jumped in without thinking twice. yes, i did not complete what i had to, but hey, compared to a week ago, i'm glad where i am now. given enough time and enough practise, i'll be able as competent as the other swimmers :D

this week, practical sessions have been nothing but fun. they were surely tiring and hell-ish, but hey, we learned heaps at the end of the day. why am i complaining? i'm getting paid to LEARN and to be fit at the same time. i'm no longer whining about being bloated, because i go swimming almost every night, after dinner, and i try not to eat too much before swimming, so there goes the crazy diet and bloated stomach. the tummy's still there, but i can see a wee bit of abs coming my way *grins*

my training-mates are becoming nicer and i'm getting more fond of them. i've been nicknamed "little-G" (maori slang) and i think it's pretty cute :p hahaha! yeah, they're a really fun bunch, alright. no doubt that i stick out like a sore thumb because i'm yellow while all of the others are brown :p but they still welcome me, and are really friendly. what i like about the browns (not being racist here) is that they are all very supportive as a group, and even if they have a close-knit group, you wont be left alone.

last monday, i started my first day of training, not knowing anyone. today, i am proud to say that i've spoken to all 30 of them :) and i've become pretty close to quite a few of them.

taking up this job opportunity, i've been pushed out of my comfort zone in everything that i do. first of all, it's the location of training (manurewa/clendon/papatoetoe) and i've never driven to these areas before. getting lost seems like a daily routine, but i'm getting better now :p and the next one is the people there. you all know that i hang out with mostly asian people and maybe one or two odd kiwis, and that's about it :p when i got there, all i saw was BROWN -_- that basically explains it..next one is the level of fitness. i am such a couch potato, i have NO fitness at all! spending a few hours in the pool for each practical session, followed by daily swimming has been really challenging for me...but hey, i am no where close to giving up.

my practical assessment is next wednesday, and we only have one more practical session to go, and that's it. i'm just hoping and praying for the best for my practical assessment, and hopefully i'll be able to buck up my stamina in time for it. if not....then, well, it'll be embarassing..

did the spinal injury scenario again today...and i had to be the victim -_-

and the people who were "saving" and "tending" to me said "SHE'S TOO SHORT!! SHE'S TOO SMALL FOR THE SPINAL BOARD!!!!!"

omgoodness ><

and before that, this guy, Troy who's an ex-army was saying how i'm wayyy too tiny and he lifted me up in the pools and i got frightened *rofl*

the girls were laughing at me..coz they said i had a very terrified look on me

-_______________-

these people are all way too massive. it's not because i'm small :p

but yes, training's getting fun. hehehe, working on-site again tomorrow. yay! hope mr team leader will be there :)

i am SO angry..

seriously. this idiot 'bought' something from me on trademe (a necklace), and then after the auction closed, that idiot email to me saying they dont want it anymore.

so fine, i placed a -ve feedback for them. and guess what? me, being all innocent, they gave me a neutral feedback. WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS IN THAT??!?!

i didnt even DO anything wrong! seriously.

stupid bugger!!

totally spoilt my day. thanks idiot!

today's training..

is by far, the most exciting one ever :D

we learned about water safety programme, and we'll be teaching little kids how to be safe (and have fun at the same time) in water, after the summer break (:

cool, aye?

we got to play with boats, floatation aids, kayaks and life jackets. being the tiny-tot that i am, i had to use the smallest (kid's size!) life jacket available...hehe, so cute ^^

already half way to the finish line for training, but practical assessments are next week (still bucking up my stamina!)..cant wait till i'm actually a qualified lifeguard!

did our theory assessment today, and it was quite good. the questions were pretty straight forward, so i'm happy overall. even got off training an hour early (:

oh, i'm working on-site tomorrow (lloyd elsmore park, if you dont already know!), and it'll be site induction, centre procedures AND uniforms :D

me is getting bumble-bee uniform tmrw :D

*hippity hoppity hop*

yes, i'm happy, but i'm still very tired. my whole body is aching, because i've been swimming everyday since wednesday of last week..except for friday, because i wasn't feeling well :p

i'm slowly morphing into a fish.. -_-

anyway, toodles! gotta get some work done, and leaving to go swimming soon!

O.o

what am i doing online?!

i've got an exam tomorrowwwwww...and i have a whole MANUAL to go through...and my bedtime is in 1 hour -_-

bleurgh >"<

---------------------------------------------------

i now know why mr team leader said he's an idiot. ho-hum..

oh and, i know it's rude when people swear, but when mr team leader swears, it's pretty cool. coz of his scottish accent. *rofl*

never knew...

the people i'll be working with are such jokers

-.-"

which is good i suppose...dont have to be too serious while working :)

dropped by the pools after my blood test (which i waited for like AN HOUR!!!) to give my MC (just to prove i wasn't wagging yesterday) and they were all joking around =.="

mr manager: so, is it true?
mr team leader: *rolls eyes*
mr senior lifeguard: *waves manager off*
me: what? yeah it's true. i WAS sick yesterday! look! i have my MC!!
[all 3 mr burst out laughing]
mr manager: right...it's not mine, it's not his and it's not his either! you know, we have a childcare centre here..
me: O.o noooo....it's NOT TRUE!! NOT TRUE!!NOOooo!!!

see what a bunch of jokers i'll be working with -.-" and they're all my seniors...

anyway, gonna get food now. havent eaten since i woken up because i had to fast for the blood test :$

*speechless*

i'm VERY glad i've lost 2 kgs now. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

i didnt go for training today. i just didnt feel well :S woke up at 6.17am to go to the toilet and my poor tummy hurts! so i went back to sleep for a little more, then woke up around 7 to tell mum that i wont be going for training..

then she said "if it's really that hard and stressful, just quit.." and i just shook my head and went to my car to get the manager's number. he didnt seem very convinced that i was sick, but anyway, i went to see the doc later in the afternoon and i got a letter :p so i am sick!

my legs and arms were super sore though! but they're much better now. probably just needed more rest :)

anyway, the doc thinks i have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and that it only strikes when i'm under stress or exhausted. which is true. my stomach's been pretty screwed up the past few days coz i've been very stressed AND tired.

gotta go for a blood test tomorrow and take a stool sample on 3 different occassions (ew!!) but yeah...hopefully this crazy stomach aches will go away.

anyways, tired now. but i'm still chatting :D bye!

ps: i lost 2 kgs in 2 days :S my gooddddnessss!! anyone wanna go for a "gain weight" feast???

no pain, no gain.

my my, that phrase sure makes sense to me now :p

a little bit of pain ain't gonna kill me, it's only gonna make me stronger, yo!!

today, with lots of prayers from friends and myself, and half a bottle of BLACK V, i did about 99% of all the activities - didnt do the last one coz i got lots of water up my nose and down my mouth prior to that activity. not fun. but anyway, my team leader asked if i wanted to TRY it, and i said NO. heheh :D i love my team leader ^^ he's got a cool accent (scottish! i finally found out!) but yah, he's very nice and supportive :)

in fact, everyone's been really supportive :) love my team mates - love all of them in fact. you know, these people, they can be real arseholes, but when it comes to team work and providing support, they're the best :p

got a few grazes and bruises today :$ dont know where they came from though -.- but oh well, nothing major. i can still walk, and kick and erm, save people. *rofl*

managed to "save" someone a whole lot bigger than me, with flotation aid. you know one of those thingies you see the lieguards use on Baywatch? Yah, those :p not easy though when you have to swim back and have someone twice your weight tugging behind. but i'm still glad i managed to do it.

now, moving on to more serious things. i have my national lifeguard awards practical assessments in about 10 days. and i have to keep practising in that 10 days. anyone interesting in being my "victim" so i can practise to save you? hehehehe :p i'll buy you chocolate/ice cream/ sweets! dont worry, i wont let you drown :p or rather..i'll try not to. heh -.-"

one more practical session tomorrow, 3 hours only, and i'm done with pools at manurewa. bwahahaha :D but i'll be practising really hard at LEP. my poor poor hair. cant wait till i get them chopped off!

going swimming soon. ta!

yes, 4 hours + 1 hour of swimming today. aren't you all proud of me now? LOL

i am tired beyond tired. i'm speechless...

1st day as a trainee lifeguard

too tired to blog properly, so i'll just give you some bullet points

• got to experience the Maori culture. had to do the hongi (that nose to nose and handshake thingy) and erm, hear a few speeches in Maori. the only words i could pick up were: whanau, kia ora, haere mai, manukau (rofl), wahine
• got to hang out with a whole bunch of Maori people....and they'll be my whanau for the next 3 weeks of training :p
• i am officially a family member of Manukau City Council
• i get free gym access to lloyd elsmore's fitness club! w00000tttt!
• i am probably the weakest swimmer among all 26 of us *dies* everyone else are either competitive swimmers or regular swimmers or are lifeguards already
• i have to get used to waking up at 7am everyday to get to training centre on time

that's about it. will blog properly when i have more energy :S

F R E E

that, my dears, is the face of a girl who will NO LONGER be bound to her table, studying the day and night away. i can now burn all my notes (but because i am smarter than that, i will not do it)!!! i should really go buy a pack of confetti and throw them all over the place to celebrate!

it's time to celebrate!


FREEDOM IS MINE!!!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



anyway, living up to my ms shopaholic status, i bought TWO bags today :D both for a steal! can you believe that i bought TWO ROXY BAGS for the price of less than ONE? can you? CAN YOU???


that's the white roxy bag that i got. been wanting something like that for a while now, and i saw it on 50% sale today. wahey! ran back to my dad's shop to get my wallet. hehehe :)

and this is the black one, which i intend to use when uni starts. or when i have a lot of rubbish to throw into my bag, and the other smaller bags won't fit. mum was complaining how i have way too many bags already. well, i am a bag collector. *rofl* what can i say, mum? you own way too many pairs of shoes, but since i dont fancy shoes, i buy bags instead :p

so yes, those two bags costs $44.20, when usually it would've cost at least $40 each :p

psst christine, go fly kite in the sky? my mum always told me not to use that sentence. i dont know why -_- think there's another meaning behind it :s

w00t!

ms. shopaholic made a new friend today. a friend who is a clothing supplier!

*rubs hands with glee*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! seriously. this person has super duper nice clothes. and i'm gonna buy them to sell on trademe. obviously, i'll be taking some for myself too *cough*

cant wait till winter so i get to wear pretty jackets and coats.........nyehehehehe.

now, lemme leave a sneak peak of how amy's wardrobe will look like soon enough:

this, my darlings, is one of my all time favourite dress. saw it on trademe, and i went on a mad hunt to look for a supplier. needless to say, i was very happy when i found it :D

and this is only like, one of the gazibillion items he has. lots of other pretty stuff.

*thinks*

ohh, maybe i can host a erm, fashion party at my house, and invite all my darlings, then you can all buy stuff from me at a super low price. mwahahahaha. sounds good, no? and i'll have a catalogue, and you can pick and choose what you want, and if i dont have it, i'll order it!

omgoodness!! *excited*

*throws chemistry notes aside*

-------------------------------

i dont know how she does it, but throughout her whole uni life, she has never relied on coffee or any energy drinks to stay up. NEVER. and she can pull an all nighter..just like that. amazing~~ she's probably the only person i know who relies on natural high to stay awake :p

today, we'll talk about..

...money!

yes, money! moolah!

to begin with, let me tell you a little about the what i was taught in regards to money and savings when i was younger. growing up in malaysia, i know that everyone needs to work hard. really hard. money cant just grow on trees or fall down from the sky. so i was taught to save money, and only spend money when you can really afford it, or even better, only spend it on something you really need.

my parents worked really hard to be where they are now. i remember my mum was back at work 1 week after giving bith to my sister coz my parents' business was blooming at that time. and even i, at a young age of 9, would stay up over the weekends to help my parents do some work, coz they just didn't have enough time to get everything done, on top of all the man power that they had. i was given an easy task: stamp dates on promotional vouchers.

anyway, my point is, people have to work hard for money. of course, some people are just lucky and they win some lucky draws or lotto or something. but the thing is, how much have these people spent, buying their "lucky tickets" week after week?

since i started living in nz, i realised that the people here in general, do not care much about working hard. the people here spend money on useless things, like their friday night beers and expensive dinner, going on holidays when they cant even afford it and maybe spending $200 or more on fireworks for guy fawkes.

i know, you should buy somethings to have fun too, but the reality is, can you really afford it? or are you using government's money for all these things? i saw so many families at the warehouse the other day, buying big boxes of fireworks. see, if you buy in small amounts, you can still have fun right? what do you get out of the fireworks? you go ohh and ahh at them, but what do you gain out of it at the end of the day? it's really seeing your money going up in smoke! might as well have the nice feeling of burning hard cold cash with a lighter!

now, let's talk about alcohols. i used to drink a little, occassionally. when i go out for dinner, i'll order a cocktail or something. now, a cocktail isn't exactly expensive, nor is it cheap. an average cocktail probably costs around $13. today, i ask myself this question: what did i get out of that? nothing. i go home with a red face, a little more damaged liver and a whole lot of blood pumping through my body rapidly. that's about it. oh, i enjoyed the taste a little, but it'll probbaly taste better without the alcohol. afterall, a cocktail is a mixture of fruits and alcohol, no? i might as well make a smoothie or a fruit punch for myself..

the average person living in nz (and elsewhere) looks forward to friday. why? because that is the evening they get to go out and have some beer or wine, and have a nice and posh expensive dinner. now, how much are you going to spend on something like that, over a year? friday after friday you go out, and you spend maybe about, $40 per person? it's just digging into your account, deeper and deeper.

really, who am i to talk about money when i spend quite a bit of money myself?

hmm, now, a very popular one. travelling. who doesnt want to travel overseas right? i do, but i dont have enough money to go now. or rather, if i do, i'll come back with NOTHING. so, since i cant afford it now, i'm not going on a holiday, even though i would really to go on one. i'm not going to march up to the bank and ask for a holiday loan. that sounds totally ridiculous to me! why would i want to go enjoy my holiday while worrying about how to pay my loan back? i would rather earn the money, go on a nice holiday and give a myself a pat on the back and say "well done! you worked hard for this, so here's your well deserved holiday." isn't that WAY better?

i just dont understand how people live and spend their money.....so different to what i was taught when i was younger -_-

now, to justify myself about spending, i DO have a small business of my own. so when i earn a little money from all the hardwork (it's really hardwork sourcing for a supplier and thinking of the right items to import!), i do splurge a little, and put the rest in my savings account. and when i splurge, i dont spend like $100, i usually spend $30 on a top, and that's about it. if it's any more expensive, i'll crinkle my nose and forget about it, or come back to it again when it's on sale.

so yah. that's view on people and how they spend their money. ridiculous, shall i say?

but, no matter how much treasure we store on earth, it belongs to God at the end of the day :) and these are only wordly things. we're not going to bring these treasures with us when we die anyway!

and that ends my "i'm so stressed" rant for the day. thank you for your attention!

the miracle that is...

CAFFEINE!

what am i to do without caffeine? i'll probably have to resort to using super glue to keep my eyes open or electrocute myself every 5 minutes to make sure i'm awake -_-

too bad coffee no longer works for me...i have to drink BLACK V now just to stay awake and concentrate on my work - never felt so good untilk i drank BLACK V yesterday. ahh, the miracles of caffeine, it comes with a price :S

i drank BLACK V around 6.30pm yesterday, and it lasted until around, 2am and after that i resorted to something mild, so i had tea. by 4am, my brain was a total mush, so i decided to go to sleep. first, my mp3 player died on me because it was left on the whole night the previous night. so fine, no music. next, it was me torturing myself, thinking about so many things, and since my brain was working non-stop, i couldnt fall asleep.

now, i dont usually have that problem of falling asleep, unless there's still caffeine in me. so gee, the BLACK V must be some pretty strong stuff! from 6.30pm to 4am and its effects were still going?! hmm.......so i was left on my bed, tossing and turning, thinking about a gazibillion things.

and because i have been such a pig in the few days (sleeping way too much), i decided to leave the curtains open a little, so that i will not be able to sleep till too late in the afternoon. so i left quite a big gap open, and well, it worked. i woke up when i had to.

*sigh*

the detrimental things that i do to myself, just for the exams......................exams are really hazardous to health -_-

shopping, anyone?

DARLINGS!!

we'll be smelling sweet sweet freedom by the following weekend and well, since i have exams on saturday, and start work on monday, i only have sunday off. so........

ANYONE WANNA GO SHOPPING WITH ME???????
[i'll probably have the car - so i dont mind driving]

c'mon girls!! ms. shopaholic is itching to go shopping :D

i've been eating so much, i dare not weigh myself :$ every morning (afternoon really..) when i wake up, i'll tell myself to go weigh myself, but after thinking all the pro and cons, i'll refuse to go :p i'm probably happier not knowing how fat i've become after consuming all those junk.

the only thing that comforts me is that i go swimming. well, i went swimming twice this week, but it's not enough to get rid of the calories that i've been consuming. eep!

so far, this morning, i've had a packet of instant noodles with one egg, a cup of lemon and honey which mommy made for me, and a little pot of yoghurt. and i still feel like eating!! nooo....

dont even get me started on yesterday night. i had mcdonalds after swimming. and i had coke too *dies*

ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!

i didnt take many photos at Gilainne's party. but here are a few :)

this, is Christine, the bendy-woman. *rofl*

she won the limbo competition. heheeee...ain't Matt lucky??

HAHAHAHHAa. i'm so gonna get whacked for this. hehehehe. but i'm sure Mei supports me! LOL

congratz girl ^^

Managed to steal a photo with Sherry, the really cute witch! i basically forced her to take this picture with me. hehehe.

i miss my pet mouse :( i used to play with mousey when i was stressed, and the stress will be gone. i used to play with mousey when i was upset, and the upset-ness will be gone.

then came dorkus (picture). dorkus was different to mousey :( and i didnt like dorkus. dorkus was very...different. he..or rather "it" has a gender confusion problem. we were told it was a female, as female mice tend to be cleaner. but then, we later on found out that dorkus was a male!! one very stinky male it sure was! so we gave dorkus away, coz dorkus made our garage smell realllyyy bad and my sister hated him too.

[where on earth is my photo with mousey?!?!?!?!]

Now, this is another pet that i miss dearly. teddy. my cousin's dog that is totally abandoned :( sheesh. wish i could kidnap it and smuggle it to nz!! teddy's a crazy dog, but she's very loving underneath all that crazy run-around-the-house, i-like-to-crap-and-pee-anywhere-i-like, and the i-love-chasing-lizards behaviour. hopefully when i'm back next year, teddy will still be there...

see what the stress is doing to me?!?! i didnt even go for CG today :( *sigh* i feel hopeless, unmotivated and USELESS above all. i got through 20 pages of chemistry notes today. and what else did i do? i TOOK A STUPID 2 hours nap, even though i had 8 hours of sleep last night!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! i'll never get ANYTHING done with the speed i'm going *sobs*
