my new addiction...

i finished work at 8pm last night... 8pm on a FRIDAY night - very appalling behaviour! i went home for dinner and had spaghettini with chicken and sundried tomatoes. i wasn't planning to go out... but when a friend called to ask me out for a 'couple' of drinks, i found it hard to say 'no'. so...after dinner i headed out to bar 333, not one of my preferred bars to go, but on a friday night when you NEED a drink, you just have to head to where the crowd is at. i had a shot of some crap, and a few more vodkas later - i was satisfied with my night out and headed home.

james, chern and catherine (chern's colleague) were playing texas hold'em and before i could say 'hello' i found myself pulling out a $20 note to buy into the pot. pete was with me and he had no issues with buying into the pot either. so we got to playing texas hold'em and fortunately i was once again - the victorious one . i've decided that i'm actually getting quite good, not to mentioned quite hooked, on playing texas hold'em... i now declare friday nights as 'poker night'.

certified bimbo

i realised at 12pm today that i had booked a flight to go to indonesia... for LAST WEEKEND! when i called qantas to confirm my flights for january NEXT YEAR - it came as a horrifying shock that i was actually supposed to have been and gone to indonesia last weekend.

i didn't think i was ever the sharpest pencil in the box... but i never thought of myself being the bluntest either.

apologies...

i have no idea what that last post was about... i was drunk... *shame shame on me* well ok, i do actually know what it's about - i want to go to rio... i just have no idea what the rest was about.

anyway this drinking thing is doing nothing for me. i woke up this morning with a pain in the left side of my stomach. at first i thought i was just really REALLY hungry - so i ate something (one bacon and cheese travellers pie from 7/11 and a 100gm packet of smith chips). went back to my office but the pain was still there. so i thought i had to go to the toilet... so i went - but no, even after that, i still felt a nagging pain at the side of my stomach. only THEN did it occur to me that the pain was from drinking the night before. my interest in alcohol is literally hurting me so i guess i have to take a well needed break from it all... i will stop drinking until the weekend arrives. *cheers*

her name was lola...

i wanna go to rio!!!

where the sun shines... where the drinks start in the morning... where you can lay on the beach all day long... and there people are bewwwtifullll......

bittersweet fifteenth

i have very bittersweet feelings when it nears the 15th of every month. i'm happy because it means that i get paid... *grin*... but that happiness very quickly turns into unhappiness and stress because money in my bank means that i have to think about paying rent, bills and more importantly accumulated credit debt from the trips i have taken this year...*sigh*

i was completing my tax return the other day... i was able to see how much i earnt this financial year, and let me tell you... i have nowhere near the amount of money i should have in my bank. in fact, i don't even have 10% of what i should have.

i.need.to.save. and i.need.those.shoes.from.aldo.

back to my childhood...

i bought the little mermaid on dvd on my trip to kl. i decided to watch it last night and i still love the movie as much as i loved it when i was 6 years old.

my favourite song: under the sea & part of your world
my favourite character: sebastian, the crab
my favourite scene: when triton signs his soul away to ursula
the scene i cried most in: when triton and ariel hug at her wedding day
the funniest scene: when ariel combed her hair with the 'dinglehopper' (fork)
the character i hate most: the eels!

it was bound to happen...

... that i would win money from playing poker ----> $60!!
... that i would have to return to work
... that work would once again provide a HUGE challenge for me
... that i would start drinking skinny flat whites over skinny lattes ---> it's the milk i tell you!!
... that maxi would grow up to be a 'man'
... that i would miss my parents
... instead of sleeping on the right side of the bed, i would sleep on the left
... that i would want to take a rest from big nights out, preferring the quiet nights in
... that one day i would wake up with an overwhelming feeling of responsibilities...

gone are the days...

...of aimlessly walking around the house, procrastinating whether i would go to my 4pm lecture at university
... where i could just sit at a cafe or restaurant with my girlfriends and just talk about anything that would come to mind
... where i can just lay in bed all.day.long. just because i felt like it, and not have to worry about calling in 'sick'
... where holidays are limited to the amount of annual leave i have accumulated over the year
... where my mum would nag at me for not doing something (actually this still happens, but i feel that it's less intense now that i'm in sydney)
... where i am able to work, and then spend the money almost immediately after it reaches my bank (ok, this also still happens but it really shouldn't)

interesting...

unfortunately turns out that my chinese name has a more interesting cyborg name *sigh*
