the usual.

alright, daily update, simply cause i have no interesting thoughts in my mind right now. I'll get right on that.

I really have to hurry up and order my passport. Third passport form I've filled out in a couple of months. Not many people can say they've done that ey? Or paid for it..

Last uni sprint until the easter break. A few project milestones due here and there, but I'm fairly confident I can break through them. Haha, there are these white guys I frequently hang out with at uni, they're so funny. They think I'm really asian cause I'm 'good' (I will define this in a sec) at computers and laugh at me playing DDR. Then again, these guys do shoeys' back at home (where you drink a shoe full of beer apparently..true or are they just kidding with me!?)

So yeah, one them David has an ancient Compaq laptop, the first time I worked with them, it took like 15 minutes to boot up (I exaggerate, but you get it). It's a single 1.66 Hz core with 1GB memory and more than a few years old. Still works pretty well considering. Anyway, I told them about formatting, defragging, partitioning and how to upgrade to Windows 7 and how to get it for free at uni. They're so amazed at all the things you can do haha. They're a really smart bunch and hard working, I want to work with them more in the future.

Easter break! Carolyn is coming down, and we've made plans so she's staying with me for the first few days. I should say it's going to be exciting fun (and it will be) but I also feel pressure and stress in hoping I can be a sufficient guide (or escort as she puts it haha) and make her trip worthwhile. She's a city/valley girl, so I'm taking her to the city on Saturday, see the Gardens, dinner/drinks at Red Spice Road and then Comedy Festival session at night, along with Amanda and Ling...though I'm still loss for city highlights anyone?

Nevertheless, I'm excited to see her again, and will be going to 1000 steps/dandenong ranges, and there are few nice cafes I know up there (hopefully they're still there lol). Past that, not sure where to go around locally. I figured I might just take her around chaddy (chocolate cafe?), jells park maybe if the weather's nice, maybe even kingsway just to show her where I'm usually at. Recommendations, drop them in the comment box!

Amanda's 21st and Ann's party next week as well. Got a few catch ups in the holidays as well; lil, anthea and others. . Will be glad to see my usual group too at those parties, it's been awhile. As well as a huge project my group haven't started on haha; but all of this will come in time.

Me and my dad are surviving pretty well so far without my mum, with my brother floating in and out like a ghost. I made curry for the first time, and it was pretty yum! Had nice blinds installed in my room, no more girly-like curtains (dunno if anyone's noticed them before), gives my room a more professional look, along with the star wars posters and bobblehead ;]

p.s ugh I really hate the way blogger manages photos in posts. :[ hate.

teoh,
