obsession

I'm so preoccupied with highlighting my textbook using my new Staedtler Textsurfer Gel, I've just realised I'm not really paying attention to what i'm reading.

damn. exam tomorrow.

at 9.30

:(

on a SATURDAY

:(

inbox shock

Due to the fact that I am at work basically ALL the time, I rarely check my personal email anymore.  Even if I do, I just skim through the titles, delete the junk and leave the rest to "read later".  On days when I procrastinate and put off studying, I scroll through all my unread mail and today, I came across this.

What the hell. I have spent that much within the last year? You must be kidding me. I haven't been seriously keeping track of any point accumulating schemes (Priceline, Qantas FF/Woolies, Flybuys, Easyway). But yes, it acted as a wake up call and I will now avoid going to Myer.

Still on the topic of retail, has anyone walked into World Square recently and noticed the disappearance of stores like PaperScissors and the sudden birth of classy stores like Cue, Marcs, CK... Working in the middle of the shopping centre doesn't really curb my spending nature. Which is why I'm glad my job makes me go to places like Villawood or Auburn or Homebush all the time.  There is nothing there and I save an incredible amount of money. Wheeeee.

Digressing, my sister just showed me a youtube clip called "striptease FAIL" which features a guy with soiled undies. It was quite amusing for a bit, but then the more I thought about it, the more disgust I feel.  Who would continue wearing something once it has been defaced by faeces. Seriously. He hasn't at all grasped the concept of personal hygiene. Dude, it's called wiping.

Dootdidoot I swear I had more to say than just spending money and poo.  I also have management accounting on my mind, but there's not really that much I want to say about it.  It is one of my strong point though, I think, because everyday work is just scrutinising a company's management to see what they've done to improve the business, etc.

Since I was sick today, I skipped uni (one tute) and a visit to charlie lovett. Instead I spent part of my day sitting in Dr Diu's office contracting weird germs from a spluttering kid next to me.  Then M & I went to C.Court to wait for K after school. School. That sounds so foreign and strange now. The notion that school kids finish school at 2.30 really shock me now.  Sometimes when I'm having a busy day at the clients' I haven't even had lunch yet!

Ok. I am pissed off. After spending about 20 mins browsing the book depository and putting a short story, a novel and a manga in my basket, I have found out that I freaking need a credit card for payment. IS PAY PAL NOT GOOD ENOUGH?!  Le riske is too big, I think, to use my amex because I do not want the accounts payable people to see that I have been buying fairytale books. :) I need to start thinking about getting a personal credit card. T_T;  My dad just walked in and said the same thing. HAHA Perhaps I will get one.

Yes.

I'm currently scaring the crap out of myself by reading THIS. The movie, Changeling (2008) with Jolie was based on this. I can't believe the town changed it's name after the murders were discovered. I thought it would have brought tourism and such. I mean, look at the concentration camps- tourist attractions :/  people are kinda weird.  Damnit. Why is this creepy stuff always such a good read!?!

Changing topics now.. I purchased a Hello Kitty mouse on Ebay. HAHA! I don't even particularly like Hello Kitty, but I guess anything is better than my boring black microsoft mouse from work. :/  One day I will bring it to work and see how much interest, or how many looks I get :D

I have added Lolita and Huck Finn to my bookshelf and I look forward to reading both after exams.  Originally I had no idea what the heck Lolita was about. The blurb didn't make it sound enticing at all- however I've heard it's controversial, and I think I need that in my life. Everyday gets boring when it's just train, work, eat, work, train, eat, sleep.  And Huck Finn? I just love Huck Finn. I read it in primary school after Tom Sawyer :/

Anyway, study awaits. I shall be highlighting my notes with my new highlighter (which is mind blowing by the way. it's like a CRAYON!)

BEST OF LUCCCK! (I know some of you have exams tomorrow!)

omgomgomg

Just to blabber on for a bit. Stuff at the top of my head:

Iphone
OMG IPHONE 4!! WHAT A LOVELY LOOKING THING! I'll feel like a retard if I get it though, because i have an Ipod Touch. As if bring both when going out :/

Nokia e72
Need to buy Nokia e72. It looks sturdy. And kinda cool. I think I like the qwerty keyboard.  Funnily enough, I also thing the qwerty keyboard is a downside. All the keys are so SMALL!

LEAVE!
I'm officially on leave for the rest of this week, and next week! Yay! Well deserved break. Sleep in, study, nice cooked breakfast, maybe even a jog yes, as if I'd really do that. :P

Catchups:
These days, I haven't seen the group (don't know what else to call them- ie the bunch I met up with alot a month or two ago) too often, and I've been seeing Bosco and Lancy quite regularly. 

Sandwiches and uni have been keeping me in touch with Borbz - funny story! On Monday, we were at Darling Harbour eating Lawson sandwiches from Ice Cube.  Not far away, there was this kid chucking some bread around attracting the attention of quite a few hungry seagulls. A bit too close for comfort I'd say.  To the point where a seagull tried to snatch Bosco's sandwich from his hands! Hilarious. WHAT A RUDE GULL!

Email correspondence between Lancy and I at work have kept us in touch, and we finally saw each other at uni last week!  My coffee fanatic friend has taken me to to following cafes in 2 days: Charlie Lovett (so good), Starbucks and Max Brenner. It's just so nice to be able to chat for ages sitting in a warm cosy cafe when it's freezing and windy outside. :)  It's even nicer when it's someone who won't get bored of me talking about work random stuff.

EXAMS!
Need to study for those.  Let's have some fun on the 19th/20th June!

DRIVING!
Give me the name and number of a good instructor. I don't want to waste money doing a second driving exam :P

Pet Peeves
I've learnt that I really hate it when people shake their leg when they're sitting down. I figured this out when I was in one of my lectures where the chairs are all connected. Freaking hell. I sat through 1.5 hrs of vibration. SO badly to chop that girl's leg off >:(  Another thing I really hate is retarded people on public transport who sit on the aisle side of the seat when there is no one sitting inside.  Yes, shuffling in the small gap between your leg and the seat infront, wiping my butt or my bag in your face is not the most enjoyable thing in the world. Be nice, stand up and let me in, or just move in. >: (  They should install tvs on trains. And then show videos of "common courtesy in practice".

LIKING
Caramel Mocha, melted chocolate, warm weather, wall stickers, chloe- smells like nice soap, my wireless card, my credit card, my driving logbook (almost complete!), Chambord Lemonade, stockings with criss cross patterns, nice and comfortable shoes, my warm, warm blankets, gloves, MY TRENCH COAT I GOT IN SHANGHAI OMG IT IS THE BEST AT KEEPING ME WARM.

I just took out my coat today, and I wish I started wearing it earlier this week cos it was always freezing in the morning.  Last time I wore it, was when I was in Canberra.

WHICH REMINDS ME I have get to talk about that. I can't even find the photos anymore :/ 

Last week.. or the week before I bought a cheapo camera on a whim.  I keep forgetting to bring it out with me. I should though.

Anyway. Have a good time studying guys. I always enjoy exam periods :) You all know know by now. Good luck and have fun!


PS. Yesterday I learned there was a station called "Leightonfield". Today I got off there. After a bus ride, and three train trips. The Smith Family is in Villawood.

What a freakin' hole.

mess

my timetable for sem 2 really sucks.

i have to go to uni for THREE days which is just really ridiculous because i'm just taking three subjects, and they happen to fall on three different days.

it's only a problem because i'm not always in the city and it is a serious pain in the ass if i need to head out to the city from say, Auburn just for 2 hours :S

utter frustration!

is it stupid to take economics in my third sem? i'll be the oldest of the bunch, but i really want to fit 2 subjects on one day. and if i take bus stats instead of stupid economics, i have have 2 subjects on wednesday, and 1 on monday.

gaaaaah i wish i thought this out properly in the beginning of the year.

who knew tabasco and tequila would go together

sum my day up:

• work in the morning
• king pin bowling- sucked ass
• laser skirmish- 11% accuracy. wth
• open bar tab
• sex and the city 2

Wasn't too great. But I fell asleep midway. :/ so maybe I missed something good.

Miss you guys.
