tmr is gonna be a wet day apparently, but then rain is unpredictable here and the forecast are not that accurate
but who cares? the showers seriously last 5 minutes and thats about it
on tues, it was raining while i waited for my pizza
and way before my pizza came, the rain stopped
cranky

tmr is the last day of the week before i get to enjoy myself once again,
im considering going rottnest island! its like the aussie version of sentosa.. and i really dont mind riding a bike round the island if the rental is cheap.. i pray it would be in a land where cars can cost 700 bucks
LOL! on the way to the shopping mall from my school, there was this guy who was damn drunk. he started socialising in the bus, seriously. like he kept talking to random strangers around him and telling them that how he should quit and that tmr he’ll get his heart and liver checked and suddenly, he was telling this other person about this girl whose pants he wanna get into? and they he would glance out of his windows like a small kid HAHA! i guess everyone is extra friendly with alcoholic help

im tired, i wanna sleep but ive to charge my laptop and then help my friend charge hers cause we are sharing this one international plug.. i think thats sad!

(i miss you! so much, you probably dont know)

slept in a little later today and headed down to Fremantle
omg! i love the place, i think its so gorgeous in the old school fashion
the attraction there was the market place and the prison which we manage to cover in a couple of hours suprisingly but then not in detail
and we are very likely to return to there again, FOR THE CANDIES
tmr is gonna be another working day
im so filled with dread!

i just got back from perth’s zoo
we headed down early in the morning and i really don’t get the point as to why they keep certain nocturnal animals
i mean, nvm the bats cause they are in the dark room known as the Nocturnal House but then the dingos and all.. they leave it in the outer enclosure and they are nocturnal and the zoo closes at 5pm! so technically, they will never be awake for the visitors
but oh well, i think it was worth to at least go down to a zoo overseas.. some of the animals were like no where to be found, haha! this lady was like “maybe they went on holiday!” LOL
the zoo is quite random, there’s like picnic lawn right smack in the middle equipped with bbq pits and theres way lesser animals compared to mandai zoo :(
i love koala bears! (but they are motherfucking lazy) and their babies are called joeys, how cute!

first week down

with one comment

ok so my first itp work week is over and done with
its not exactly a slack week but more to come, im pretty sure
we ended early today!
so we headed home immediately and seriously laze around playing sims until its like almost 8pm
haha! we attempted experimental cooking.. i must say it turned out decent, neither excellent nor terrible, so decent seem like a rather applicable term
we cooked fusilli with mac and cheese sauce and ham and pork sausage
the sausages here are so different! they are not the hotdog kind, they are like really hand-made sausages with the external layer that ends with a tip that joins to the next sausage.
the layer outside is disgusting so we kind slice it off and make it into mincemeat and cook
end result, damn dry pasta but tasted alright i guess
i cant wait to return back to singapore to hawker centres and marketplaces where food is abundant
and most of all, i cant wait to return and taste my girlfriend’s cooking :) its always so filled with love.

its labour day holiday over at perth
and seriously, its a public holiday for all the australian, the whole city centre is like a dead town, not a single shop is open

haha! now i know where all the brands are.
the long weekend that i’ve been waiting for (easter holiday) does not seem so nice anymore, haha! because nothing will be open
oh well, turkish food here is cheaper than those at far east plaza, can you imagine? so now you know how marked up the prices are :(
anyway, hannah is not online yet!! *frowns
i’ve work tmr at fucking 9am, thats like 8am there ok! i wake up at 1pm in singapore normally, this is so abnormal.
