Phew! I finally get to have the whole Saturday to myself and my assignments. However, lethargic best describes me now. I’ve been in the hibernation mode lately – I would consider that I’ve been sleeping quite a lot these few days though it might not seem to be a lot to other people. I used not to sleep this much and I guess the lassitude that has been accumulating from the past is asking for a “compensation” now. I’m also human, ain’t I? I thought I was some iron lady who could go against the nature of human by sleeping really little – so that was what I thought. Yes, I admit that I’m WRONG! Hence sleep and rest are what I really need now!
I ♥ that it’s weekend now, I ♥ weekends, I really do. It’s the only time that I can have proper and sufficient sleep compared to weekdays where I’ll be busy with classes, assignments, and work. Work is the only thing that I’m committed to during the weekends because attending classes during weekends is not in my list-to-do and there isn’t any assignment that is due during the weekends as well. I dread it whenever Monday arrives, I ♥ it whenever Friday arrives. Sometimes I really wish I’ve my own time machine to either rewind or fast forward time and yes, it’s always me and my time machine – said Kar Wei a few hours ago, after I edited a little short paragraph of her writing for the MSA newsletter where I mentioned about time machine, AGAIN.
IF I’ve a time machine right now, I would really want to turn back time to yesterday. Put aside classes, I had a great time yesterday. After class, I walked back to MUV contemplating if I should go back straightaway to my beloved bed or drop by Kar Wei’s house and spend some time with her. All I had in my mind that time was Kar Wei or bed…Kar Wei or bed…Kar Wei or bed????? LOL! Sorry Kar Wei, I don’t mean to equate you to my bed, I was just too tired and needed some rest, but, you mean more than a sleep to me, hence I was in your room around 11.30 am. And guess what, she was lying down so comfortably on her bed with her laptop on her lap. Sometimes the things that she does is just so adorable. I don’t know how is that delectable but it seems so to me. I planned to spend about 30 minutes in her room and head home after that to do a little of my work but deep down it my heart, I knew the 30 minutes I planned wouldn’t be 30 minutes. The next time I saw the time on my hp, it was already 12.45 pm!!!!! It felt like as if I was there just for a while. I guess we were just too engross into surfing about lomo cameras and polaroid cameras on eBay and I found a lomo and a polaroid that I really really ♥!!
Lomo Style Barbie – 31.99 AUD!!
Isn’t it cute????? And the price is quite reasonable and shipping from Hong Kong is FREE!! I so want to get my hands on that lomo! I know it wouldn’t be as cool as those expensive lomos but I just want to own one just to try it out, I’m not really into photography after all!
Fuji Instant Instax Mini 7S Polaroid Camera – 106 AUD 😦
This polaroid is so COOL!! I adore pink and white A LOT!! But I dislike the price – it’s definitely way too expensive for me. I’m starting to ♥ polaroid after seeing a customer using a polaroid camera during work. I was so amazed by her camera that I couldn’t take my eyes off her camera for a while, it just distracted me so much during work! 😦 Oh well, I should think carefully before committing myself in buying either on of those cameras, if only I could own both!
Anyway, I finally left Kar Wei’s house at 1.30pm, I know 30 minutes and 2 hours are huge different but I just didn’t want to leave her room. I came back wanting to sleep a while and then cook my lunch before I headed off to work but I finally decided to skip dinner just to have an extra hour of sleep! SLEEP IS DEFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD!
I was so lazy to the extent that I decided to take the bus to Macquarie Uni station instead of walking for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Blame the weather for my laziness!! Since I took the bus, I was early by 30 minutes and there was nothing else in store for me except doing some window shopping in Macquarie Centre. Macquarie is just so dead!! 😦
It was just within 10 minutes that I actually fall in ♥ with it – it was certainly ♥ at first sight, it was the beauty and elegance of it that captivated the little heart of mine, it seems so perfect in my eyes, it means everything to me, tell me how could I let it go?? It is a Nine West wallet – yes, getting the ♥ of my life = shopping AGAIN!!!!! Whatever happened to my new resolution to resist shopping?? – I don’t know, please don’t ask me that, it’s torturing to let go something that you like so much. What makes it worse is that it’s only 39 AUD, I wish it was 139 AUD so that I won’t even think of getting my hands on it. I was contemplating really hard, I was so carried away that I didn’t realise it wasn’t the appropriate time for me to even think of it cause I would have missed my train if I continue doing that. Yes, I know I could have bought it right away without even having the need to think twice or thrice but I don’t usually do that cause it’ll just built up the guilt in me. Haha, what a way to convince myself that I’m not a shopaholic, but hey, I know I’m not one, okay! The ♥ of my life almost made me miss my train (such a bad influence) , I was really shocked to see the time on my watch, I had merely 3 minutes to run to the train station or else I would be late for work. Instantly, I let it go. Goodbye, My Lover! (What a bad farewell… 😦 ).
I was already panting for air upon reaching the train station, luckily I was on the dot. I was scolding myself in the train for being such an impressionable person, I shall never do that again!
Work was fun as my colleagues and manager are awesome people! But I suddenly had this strong craving for sticky rice ‘durian’ during work – it was about more that a month since I last ate sticky rice ‘durian’ in Chat Thai and the strong urge of having it last night just drove me a little crazy and I told myself no, enough, I’ll come back and find the picture of it which I took the last time I ate it and I shall blog about it, expressing how dearly I was missing it. After work, I saw a text from Kar Wei hurrying me to be back early last night :
I was kind of curious when I first saw her text, I was thinking hard what could it be that she had for me and then I remembered she was in the Malaysian Students’ Association of University of Technology Sydney ‘makan-makan’ event in the city and it struck my mind that she could have gotten me sticky rice ‘durian’. I rushed back after work and AGAIN, I almost missed the train, luckily I was on the dot. As usual, I normally go online when I am in the train and I saw a wall post on Facebook from that little girl :P:
I dread walking back from the train station to my house, it takes a least 20 minutes and walking in the cold is certainly not fun! I fastened my walking pace last night just to be back home earlier and I bumped into some people with green face on my way back. It kind of scared me a little but yeah, it was Halloween night – everyone was out in their Halloween costumes, having the time of their life. Upon reaching the east side of MUV, I could already hear screams and laughters of people and I bumped into many of them who were extremely drunk on my way to west side. Finally, I reached outside the doorstep of unit 87 and I opened the door on my own and screamed for Kar Wei from downstairs (P/S: Sorry if my scream awakened any of other residents in that unit). She came downstairs and showed me what she had for me –
yes, sticky rice ‘durian’ and sticky rice mango!! ♥ I was truly delighted that she went all the way to Chat Thai to get it, thank you girl! I certainly had an awesome dessert and I finished up most of it, I know I am such a greedy fellow! LOL! And guess what, I was telling Kar Wei about the Nine West wallet I saw and she saw the same wallet too a few days ago and she wanted to get it too!! Gosh, we really have telepathy!! We’re going to get the wallet once Kar Wei gets her pay! Can’t wait! Last night was certainly a great night – having the sticky rice ‘durian’ and mango and a great chat with Kar Wei and Kevin till 3 am! Thank you people, you guys are AWESOME!! 🙂
Joke of the day that I would like to share here, I was showing Kevin this last night:
And the funniest thing that he ever said, “Why are you showing me a packet of Kar Wei?” LOL! I couldn’t stop laughing my head off!
New equation that we just came up with for Kar Wei for loving to sleep so much:
Kar Wei = Pig = ‘Bak Kut Teh‘
P/S: Kevin, welcome to be my neighbour, today! 🙂
