Oh Happy Day!

This is how I look today and how I hope to be looking for a few more days yet until Tuesday ( cause thats when I start work again dammit!)
Because first of all, obviously, I am ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My internet is back!!!!!!! It is finally fixed and I can now go online whenever I want!!!!
On an even brighter note, I finished my stupid 2000 word essay that was worth 60 marks!!!
I don't know what I was writing but I'm just glad I've finished it!

And on a much much much brighter note, X MEN ORIGINS WOLVERINE- HERE I COME FOR YOU ON SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!

Everybody sing with me now, Oh happy day!!!!!

I miss my internet....

So yeah, my internet crashed.
It's been down for a couple of days now but I'm hoping to get it up and running again.
My internet's down, there's been a problem with our water system and we didn't get hot water today, our TV room's locked for renovations.. I keep telling everybody, its like living in the middle ages!!!!!
And oh, my room flooded last Wednesday. Or Tuesday. Doesnt matter. The cleaning lady forgot to turn off my tap and WHOOSH. Not only flooded my room, flooded half the room of the girl living opposite me. Poor thing. My room smelled like something died in there for a while, then I packed my room with air fresheners and now it's starting to smell a lot better. I mean, humans can actually BREATHE in there now, so PHEW.
First day of work was alright. Actually a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Meeting all the new nurses is still scary cause some of them look real stuck up but I guess it takes time. oh well.
Assignments are piling up. I've got an essay worth 60 bloody marks coming up in 2 weeks time. gotta start getting off my lazy ass and do some serious work.

New Start

So tomorrow is a pretty big day for me. It'll be Goodbye Springfield ( pictured above) and Hello Flinders Medical Centre ( pictured below). Goodbye crappy-carer-underpaid-job, hello slightly-higher-paid-i-hope-it'll-be-good-enrolled-nurse job. And tomorrow's my first day!!!!

Wish me luck!!!!

Cycling to the beach again

Yup. As you can see from the title. We went cycling to the beach again. This time in a much bigger group consisting of ( from left to right) Dileepa from Sri Lanka raised in Qatar, Me from you know where, Leonard from Singapore, Marjorie from Malaysia, Lalita from Malaysia, Charlene from Malaysia, Esther from Malaysia again, Arbi from Albania and MC from Singapore...and Douglas from Brazil taking the picture.... I don't know why I gave such an extensive introduction, I just have a lot of time before I drag myself off to bed. It's a bit FYI I know, but wth, this is my blog, I can be FYI if I want hahahaha.

Taking a break from cycling

We finally got there and it was a bit disappointing cause it was drizzling and the sky was awful cloudy and grey. And it was pretty empty cause the clipsal was in town. So we settled for a game of Volleyball first with me Douglas Dileepa Lalita and MC in one team ( we won). Don't mind Dileepa's horrifying pose, we can't get him to stop doing that either.

But then the sun came up and the day started looking a whole lot better. We stripped off and went into the sea ( that's why the pictures end here XD ) and spent nearly the whole afternoon there before finally coming up for another game of volleyball ( which we stopped quickly when a much better and more professional team showed up to play beside us) and then we packed up and cycled home totally exhausted and completely sunburnt. Great fun.

Another Update

So week 3 of uni is ending...
Time flies, it seems like we just started but when you come to think about it, we're finishing our semester in a few months time... Scary.
So we had our first microbiology tutorial today. Was afraid it would be incredibly boring like Law and Ethics or Health Psychology ( both classes which always leaves us with more questions than answers), Turned out to be really interesting. It was all lab work. Boy, I miss working in the lab. Its like High School all over again and we're doing chemistry or something.
So we swabbed bacterias today and studied them under the microscope. Uni lab equipments sure beat the hell out of Kuching High's less savvy ones...
Our tutor kept telling us to 'Make love to your microscopes'. Treat them tenderly and keep twiddling their knobs. Haha. So we tried our best to make love to our microscopes. Good Fun.

On another note,
My driving test was cancelled Tuesday cause my instructor's car broke down.
All I could think was 'For Crying out loud! Of all times to break down!!!! You have got to be bloody kidding me!"
Oh well. Hope I get it done and over with soon. Wish me luck!

Wigged Out

For MC's birthday, we were all supposed to get wigs. That was supposed to be the theme. So Cindy and I went to this costume hire shop to get our wigs. I found a blue-hooker-bob I liked cause it was really bright and 'wiggy'.

Cindy was trying on a Cleopatra wig. But soon realized that on her, the wig was more like an 'Ugly Betty' wig. Probaby because of her glasses. Boy, I couldnt stop laughing everytime she put on the wig.

Me, Pearl, Douglas, Lalita and Nevis.

Saturday night was the party, and we were all decked out in our wigs. Some of us anyway. The rest cheated and looked normal...

Charlene, Pearl, Leonard, Esther, Liam, Me and Nevis

Had to take a picture with Ugly Betty, she's a celebrity!

Picture with the birthday girl ( MC) and her friend Megan who was Wonder Woman

Evelyn rocked up a bit later with her red, sassy wig...

By that time, my wig was taken off cause it was starting to get hot and itcy and crooked.......

Pearl, MC, Cindy, Me, Audrey, Geraldine and Marjorie

The biggest hit was Lawrence ( the one on the right, beside Audrey) he came as a girl. Complete with the long hair, girly blouse and skinny jeans. Nobody recognized him when he first came, took us a while.

Trying to steal Cindy's role as Ugly Betty. I can't. I've got too much natural beauty to pull this look off!

Muahahahahaha XD

Letter from the past

Postcard arrives in Ohio — 47 years late
Intended recipient died in 1988; official blames equipment for delay
HUDSON, Ohio - A woman's postcard bearing greetings from Montana has finally arrived in northeastern Ohio — 47 years later.
Insurance agent Dave Conn opened his post office box in the community of Hudson last week and found the mailing sent from Helena, Mont., in 1962.
It was sent to Marion White, the previous renter of the box, who had died in 1988. The writer signed the postcard "Fran" and mentioned having "had a marvelous time in Montana."
After asking around, Conn says he determined the card must have come from White's well-traveled friend Frances Murphey, a longtime reporter at the Akron Beacon Journal. She died in 1998 at age 75.
U.S. Postal Service spokesman Victor Dubina says the postcard may have been stuck in equipment or lost behind a mail chute.

Hah. Funny. The guy who got the letter got a letter from the past. Literally. XD
