Beeeeeeeeeeeeeach

We had so much fun at Williamstown Beach today. And we really made the most of the trip - swimming, sunbathing, phototaking, eating on the sand, cartwheeling...

I wanna do it again.

Peachy pink

Spicy salmon maki♥

I love this even though it's a bit difficult to eat.

Going to the beach tomorrow! Sun, sea, blue sky!

Under the weather

New year's resolution #90342934820: drink more water and get sick less.

Oh yeah, and sleep early.

Good night~♪

Temptation from home

We just got sent this calendar from Indo, containing 13 pages of delicious food pictures.

I want to burn it from envy.

Work, music and a whole lot of other crazy things

The back of my neck, my throat and my ears are so sore. I feel like I'm coming down with something, and I hate to think it's because of the dust that my nose has inhaled over the past 2 days from doing stocktake at work. The place is amazingly filthy and today, I could literally smell mould.

Gross.

I've been wanting to listen to old-school J-rock music. I dug up the CDs that I burnt 3-4 years ago and I've been finding shit like Nightmare's "Dasei Boogey" and PIERROT's "Makka na Hana" PV. It's craaazy.

Anyhoo. My last entry was written while I was a little distracted. M was talking to me when I was trying to write, and basically, what I really wanted to say was that this week has been far from perfect because I've been so laid back with sleeping early and getting up on time. The story of my life; what's new, right?

I wanted to apply for this other job that S recommended to me, but I just realised it's the same workplace as a friend of my ex's. I don't know if he would even care, but I just feel so awkward to have to talk to him and stuff, if I do get the job. Plus, it's also about my pride; can I imagine myself working under this guy where he'll make me feel little while I'm trying to be this cool chick who's on the same level as everybody else in the office? Hell no.

Long story short, I've decided I'm not gonna apply for this job. As much as I need the money. As much as I desperately need the money.

Perfect week blunder

So this is my full week at work and I promised to myself that I was going to be really disciplined and take good care of my health to be ready for the long hours...

...and I'm already stuffing up.

Yesterday, after I got off work at 4.30 PM, I went to see Keeks, her sister and Ceuceu and then later B joined after he finished work. Then D and Juli also came along and we hung out for coffee at Block Arcade, dinner at Dessert House and then late-night karaoke at KBox. Then I ended up sleeping over B's place because it was really late and I didn't want to taxi home. Besides, I'm on a budget, you see.

Anyway, on top of that, I'm tempted to give away my Thursday shift to someone else because Keeks and her sister are planning to go to the beach on Thursday. After all, when else can we all go together?

But anyway, it just means this week is already far from perfect.

Went to Dumplings...

We love the place, full stop.

Sins like you wouldn't imagine

Coffee, dinner and karaoke = lethal combination.

I've decided...

...that I'm gonna make this a picture blog. At least for a while. I'll try to take pictures every day of this year, if not, pictures of things that I find interesting on certain days. See how long this project will last.

I'm excited!

Unproductive

I just woke up now and I hate the feeling of having woken up late and missing the first part of the day. I mean, it's not like there's anything I have to do today, but I just feel unproductive.

I need to go see this dorama I rented Hanayome to Papa. Not because I'm keen on seeing it, but because I need to return it soon, you see.

Midnight ramble

I hung out tonight at V's place; there were B, D and Ceuceu, as well as Amar and Tanno. We got together to watch "Transamerica" and then sat around for a bit of talk and some drinks. It was nice, clean fun tonight.

I need to go and rest for the whole day tomorrow. It's my last day off before I have to work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They're not extremely long hours, but I know I'll go nuts from having to see the same place every day for 7 days.

But that also means money, which is always good. I'm planning to save up a lot this year, especially since there's the possibility that K, A, L and I are going to Japan this September. On top of that, my cousin and I have already planned to go around Indo between July and August. Well, I'm hoping to get a bit of financial boost for that trip from my lovely grandparents, so if that happens, technically I need to just save up for Japan.

I am shit-tired. I'm gonna go and get some sleep now then.

Here's to 2009

So it's the new year already, and it's been a funny first week of 2009.

I slept through the New Year's countdown, so I had at least enough rest before working on the New Year's Day.

Then on the 3rd, I went for a road trip with my parents and B and D. That combination of participants was funny enough, but then D had a massive motion sickness halfway through the drive and he had to take anti-nausea tablets before making our way home. I took one too cause I also got sick from looking at D being sick. Either way, we had fun checking out the sights, though.

On the 5th, I had a friend's party and being the ass that I am, I bought a dress especially for the occasion - on the same day. It wasn't an expensive dress, though, and I think it's pretty so I guess I'll be able to wear it for a couple of times.

The next day, my friends and I went to the beach but we only managed to stay there for about 2 hours because cold wind started coming and we had to pack up before we got blown away to the middle of the sea.

And finally, today we saw Twilight and I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. It was - I'm sorry - one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The action part was fine, but the romance part? You could tell it was written by some crazy fanfiction geek. "You're my personal brand of heroin"? Pfft. Please. Even my ass can come up with something better than that.

I can't wait to see what else 2009 will bring for me.
