  • Chronicles of the missing housekeys

    Right now I'm taking a break after spending the last 10-15 minutes engaging in a mini treasure hunt for my housekeys.

    I hate it when my stuff goes missing. It's like some kinda blackhole lurking around somewhere when stuff just goes missing unexplainably. Needless to say, I've lost quite a few things in my life.

    Yes, I admit that I'm a very messy person, but I'll forever rubbhish the claim that messiness and loosing things are positively related. I can often recover my stuff in a pile of rubble as easy as one would find their stuff in the drawer.. just as long as no one touches my things. Sometimes I relate loosing my stuff as works of the devil, cause everytime something goes missing is when, and only when, I need that certain something to get something of importance done (can you feel the anger and energy?). Oh well.

    On a side note, I wanna feature a friend's blog. One of her recent entries totally made my day. Note the anticlimax ending. Haha. I also notice Jason Song's email at the back.

  • hibernation.. or something else

    DSC00363Getting outta bed is so hard to do nowadays.. winter. 

    The warmth inside and under your quilt along with the cold freezing air outside will make anyone think twice, trice.. even ten times before hopping out of bed.. espcially when you have nothing to do for the rest of the day. All you wanna do is just thuck yourself in.. not move.. and stay in the warmth and comfort of the nice thick layer of synthetic fabric. Awesome~

    I think as human being's, God designed us to sleep in (aka hibernate) over winter. That is to work hard before winter, gathering the food and fats we need to last the season.. and just awake when it reaches spring again.

    Then again, maybe not. Mankind can't be that lazy. We all strive for comfort and a higher predictability of life, it is our restless nature of moving forward that makes us the dominant race ruling this planet.

    But what did God intend for us?

    ...

    Enough philosophical bullshit.

    zzz.

  • Delivery! Curry puffs?

    Started a new job under the same business.. basically deals with the delivery of curry puffs to several outlets and restaurants around Melbourne.

    What's it like? Load the truck with over a dozen boxes of curry puffs (vegetarian, beef and chicken), drive to restaurants located at various suburbs, pass them the goods, give them an invoice, collect the cash, sign their invoice copy, go to Berwick, collect MORE curry puffs, head back to Clayton, unload the van's goods into Meeting Points freezer and call it a day. So far, that's the job. I think more things are to come as I learn the trade bit by bit.

    I'm not sure if I wanna do this sorta thing right now cause it does require an amount of time to build relationships with customers hence inprove business. After all, I have exams to worry about right now. No time to play with this sorta stuff. At the moment I'm only required to make deliveries every Monday and Tuesdays with occasional Fridays. I'm also required to call customers to ask the quantities and amount of orders they need. Sounds easy.. but my first day trying this today was.. unpleasant. Not that the people weren't nice.. I just feel that this job isn't for me.

    Let's just see if God wants me to be in this job.

  • OCF Men's Night and Jack B'day Present

    OCF had a Men's and Girl's Night a couple of days ago. The guys were over at my place - the good ol' Browns. Initially we played some Wii, had pizza's and gave everyone the impression we were gonna play some ultra physical war games, but it was really just a cover up. The guys were to personalise some picture frames for the girls and we were to present them to the girls later on over at their place. So a surprise.

    I was one of the few who had the privilege of knowing this plan before hand. The mastermind of this whole thing, Jack Chong, is my housemate and both of us (plus Jon) went down to Ikea to buy the frames. It was chaotic and cute.. seeing about 30 guys gathering around the house playing with highlighters and coloured markers, trying to Photoframecome up with something sweet for the girls. Of course we weren't allowed to pick which girl we wanna make for.. it was done at random. Otherwise, all of us will be making the frame for the girl we like. Haha.

    I was to make a generic frame (one without a name so we can put someones name on last minute) cause there  may be newcomers to OCF that night. Later I found out the frame I designed ended up with my other housemate Cheryl.. ahaha. Oh well.

    That night was also to be the night we handed over Jack's present. I got him a Panosonic Lumix camera. We got everyone into the Atlantic's house for a group shot. It was crazy.. cramming about 70 people into that tiny living room. It was my fault actually, heh. Cause I wanted to present Jack the camera unsuspectingly in front of everyone. At that point of time, Jack didn't know he was using his own camera to snap the group shot.. and we surprised him by telling him that it's actually his. I also included two pictures I designed before handing it over.

    You need to enlarge and zoom-in in order to see this one. From the camera's LCD, it'll look like small dots. Download and enlarge the file to understand why.

    Enjoy the camera! Happy Birthday Jacko!
