modus operandi

Since graduating from uni more than a month ago, I've finally dug up the courage to tackle the clutter and conquer the dust, ie., tidy my room and my desk. It was a two-day project on Monday and Tuesday because as contained as the clutter seemed, it's impossible to neutralise it in one day. Plus, I had Jay over on the first day for YouTube videos and Merlin watching so operations were put on hold before dinner on the first day.

Um. Yes, I have a test tomorrow for my Creativity module (how ridiculous is that? What's the point in testing us about the theories and stuff related to something as abstract as creativity?!) but am digressing from it for a bit. Okay, so not 'a bit' because I've been watching (10 episodes of) The Big Bang Theory since lunch. And I initially wanted to wake up at 8.30am to study but was up at 8am and somehow fell back asleep until 11.30am. Ugh. So much time wasted.

Anyway, hey look it's Rex! Because apparently Y went and spent $4 on those egg toy capsule machines before it rolled out a Rex (or he exchanged with a friend who got the Rex), so... now I have it hanging from my handphone.

(I don't think he remembers/knows that Rex is my favourite from Toy Story, but he picked Rex out of the few other characters that rolled out, so. Yay! :D)

Yes, in case anyone's asking, there's no purpose whatsoever to this entry other than me wanting to brag about how awesome my bf is. HAHA.

Right. So I've been lazy and my LJ is on the verge of becoming a wasteland. I'm supposed to do my readings for Journalism because our presentation is in less than a week and we have to email one another the information to put into our Powerpoint slides by Monday, but, as we all know, it doesn't take much for me to give in to procrastination. Especially when there is proper work that needs to be done.

[Random update inserted here!]
Recently Zhenni, thesuperette and I went to Sunshine Plaza because thesuperette wanted to find some photography shop to check out a super small (toy?) digital camera she saw in a magazine, and even though I tried not to, I got attracted to a digital lomography camera.

If I'm not wrong, it's a Harinezumi 2. I was bought over by it having a macro function and being able to do sound recording. But I don't have the money to buy it =(

Ah well. *Adds to neverending wishlist*

Anyway, as I was saying, am bored and am procrastinating. So you get multiple updates from me! Woots!

Remember those breakwaters at East Coast Park? So a few hours ago, Y and I saw dark shadows shifting about on the side facing the sea and I thought, "Whoa, rats?! Nah, can't be. Gotta be crabs." After a few seconds Y said those looked like rats after all. HOLY CRAP RATS CLIMBING UP AND DOWN AND ALONG THE FACE OF THE BREAKWATERS FACING THE SEA. And low enough that they were skirting the area where the breakwater was wet from the waves. Maybe they can swim, too? I remember that rats are capable of swimming... UGH EWW. I was equal parts freaked out and amazed at how good they are at climbing all over the steep incline. Then we spotted cockroaches on the breakwater, too. I wonder if the other people on that same breakwater ever noticed all those critters. *SHUDDERS*

Dear mother, one main reason why I let you know is so that I don't have to lie when I'm out. So you won't flip out and go berserk when you finally find out. So I don't need to always be on my guard and be paranoid that you might spot us wherever and create a scene. But with the ridiculous amount of control you want over the few and short moments we only get to have on weekends, it's making it very difficult to break my habit of lying. Grow up and smell the 21^stcentury; don't tempt me back into hiding the truth from you.

I don't understand why parents are so insistent to waive the payment for additional birthday party guests when we're unable to do so; that they think we can just let the extra kids enter without letting "management" know (yes, you think it's simple, but we don't answer to you, we answer to The Boss); why they don't want the guests' siblings to come along at an additional charge because they've exceeded the maximum number of party guests allowed; why they will think of every reason to avoid paying that extra bit of money to give the kids a good time; why they are so stingy about spending a bit more money for the kids to be happy for one afternoon; why they are so stingy about giving other people an enjoyable day; why middle-income Singaporeans like to act rich but are the most difficult people when it comes to parting with even a cent of their money.

Dear Susan, you have no idea how many times, and in how many ways, you have been murdered in my mind in that 15-20 minutes of conversation during which you tried to make my working life difficult and tried to destroy my amicable work-relationship with The Boss. I am only glad that I am not working today so I don't need to see your face and be anywhere near you while your kid's birthday party was being held. I'd probably curse you a hundred times over every time I remember how you looked like if I knew how you looked like.

Anyway, that was already two days ago (Friday evening), so I'll probably just take it as another crazy customer that I always seem to have the bad luck of handling and forget about her in a week (of constant cursing).

So. Saturday night. Thanks a lot. Now I'll never look at Green Tea the same, ever again. Hmm. But I guess now our actual persons did get more Green Tea than our thumbs did...? :D

(And I want my red Converse jacket back! D:)
