You know you have a .....

Brazilian as a roommate when she sits on her bed BUCK NAKED after showering.

WTF.

I know we are both of the same gender and what she has, I do too (maybe she doesn't have my big arse but that's another story to tell).

But it's still slightly disturbing when you have a naked lady in the same room as you.

Maybe I just need a few days to get use to.

***********

This year I went to Mardi Gras parade and came back with ZERO pics.

No la...Just a few that's all. My camera charger is in Brunei and I used my phone. So expect shitty quality pics. We went there late. Good seats were taken and I was too pissed to stand behind a 2m guy and stare at his ass.

While the guys were still toughing it out, I sat in Gloria Jeans for 2 hours playing with my new Ipod Touch.

Yes, I finally bought the Touch and it's the best decision ever.

But the rubber skin damn expensive can. I bought it from the Apple Store and it cost like $45. However, the skin is from Kate Spade and is so COLOURFUL!!!!!! Happy colours!

Back to topic, so yeah. I missed out a huge part of the parade but I don't mind coz I can't see shit in the first place.

*************

My hair is getting so long now. I swear to God it grows like 1m every month wtf.

I just trimmed it 2 weeks ago and now I feel like it's out of shape.

Maybe I'm just anal.

************

Ok. I have to be honest here. Am blogging now to procrastinate doing my budget spreadsheet and menu for Monday.

Sigh.

Energizer bunny.

Wed: Slept 5 hours, woke up at 5.30am, went to bed at 10.30pm
Thurs: Slept 2 hours, woke up at 5.30am, went to work at 4pm and finished 3am
Fri: Woke up at 5.30am AGAIN.

What the fuck am I doing to myself?

*******

Didya know? Carlos is leaving Westin too. He's moving to Sheraton in March. Ai yai yai...first David, now Carlos.

*******

I think a guardian angel is looking after me. I always meet the nicest taxi drivers ever. Period.

One time, I woke up pretty late for my 6am job so I took a taxi. The fare came up to about $6 something however I only have $5 in my wallet. I offered to pay by eftpos but he said $5 will do.

Where got such thing one?? SO damn kind ok. If I were a taxi driver driving early in the morning, I'd be in a pissy mood. But he's damn nice one!

Another one - you prolly won't even believe it. Last night, I decided to take a cab home too. No more buses la.

Got in the cab and the driver was really friendly. Usual questions followed and I told him I just finished work and have to wake up in 2 hours' time for school.

He told me he did Social Science in uni and IT as well and is waiting for a interview for this job he really wants.

Anyway, long story short, when we arrived at my place, he said to not bother with the fare. Since I'm a student and am working at such ungodly hours. At first, I damn pai-seh la...
If I accepted the offer straight away, I'll look damn cheap.

I wanted him to take my money but he declined. In the end, he wins. Of coz wtf.

$10 ok. It's $10 that I saved.

So you see. Everytime I meet these people, I feel so blessed and taken care of. That I did not bumped into taxi drivers turned rapists or really bitchy drivers.

Thank you guardian angel.

Get ready for Mardi Gras 2010!

Out with the old, in with the new.

I had a great time catching up with everyone back in Westin :))

Westin is so different now. They renovated the cafeteria and banquets now no longer use silver cutlery :)

We changed almost everything to stainless steel. And IRD changed the trays they use for room service too. It's now some green plastic looking thing.

So many new faces and so many missing faces too...Julie, Yuli and Sonia are gone. JK is not back yet. Both Nikki's are not there. Thomas transferred to Lobby Bar. Ina resigned. Julian resigned. Wanted to find a job with dignity, he said. WTF..damn insult wei.

We have quite a few new peeps. Hiroko, a extremely gorgeous Japanese girl, a Vietnamese guy named Steven who reminded me of someone else and Ryan, a pretty good looking Korean guy too. All from ICMS. An Indian guy named Ravi but I didn't talk to him. Yet.

Guys like Eray and Apollo thought I resigned as well coz Julie, Yuli and Sonia are gone. Well, I didn't. And because of my new hair, Eray and Slav kept on refering to me as the 'new girl'. I walked past them, "Hey, new girl!".

I couldn't find name tags for coffee station and asked Eray for help. He was like "I'll get them for you, new girl".

>.>

Guys, I am soooo weak. After 2 whole months of going cold-turkey, I carried 3 plates last night and seriously, my fingers nearly went numb and I was very very close to dropping them on the floor.

However, it was goooooood exercise. Exercise that I needed. My entire body was sore when I woke up this afternoon.

I started at 5pm and we all finished at 1.30am last night. However, it was David K's last shift. He's going back to Canada for good I guess. He was offered a job in some Delta Hotel near Vancouver.

So all of us went out for a drink at a local pub and just chill. Which lasted 3 hours wtf. We went home at about 4am. Reza was drinking very very much and kept on swearing. Poor dude. He had sooo much energy in him. Kelfien was like 'Eh man, since you have so much energy, get ready for your next shift. It's only 2 hours until the buffet breakfast later'. LOL.

We decided to go home at about 4am.

I only met Steven that day and I went home with him that night itself. Ohhhhhh, it's not what you think wtf. He lives like 1 street away from me in Broadway. So we shared a cab.

It was nearly 5am by the time I go to bed. If I am working Sat morning breakfast too, 5am is the time I have to leave the apartment to get ready for work ok.

Here some photos from last night. Rest are on FB.






Btw, I was supposed to have only 1 shift this week but Church just called to ask if I could work tomorrow night and I said yes. And I have 2 shifts in banquets next week too. Thurs and Fri night.

Post CNY!

As if I celebrated.

1) It's the end of Week 2 now in ICMS. How time flies!

We are seriously so busy.

2) I am putting more and more makeup on my face. Not a good thing.

3) Steaming hot white rice with cold spicy Korean fishcake is my staple now. Mmmmm.

4) I'm excited to see everyone back in Westin tonight! Although I'm concerned with meeting the chef wtf.

5) I found that I actually enjoy marketing. This term, we have like 3 out of 5 units that requires using our 'creativity'.

Our major task for marketing is to come up with a hi-tea concept in ICMS. We need to create a signature dish or drink that will be the pulling factor for this hi-tea session. A prototype is needed as well. I DO NOT COOK. Maybe I can make roti canai into some more up-scale wtf.

This sounds stupid but I suggested to Simone and Kim that the 3 of us should go hi-tea sumwhere in Sydney next week. It might help us in getting some ideas about our assignment. We agreed and now I'm looking for a place in the city that offers GOOD hi-tea.

Yeahhhhhh, now we can drink tea in fine porcelain cups with our pinkies sticking out.

6) As for Advertising and PR, we were given 15 products not available in Oz. Choose one and create a full-scale campaign to launch the chosen product all across Oz. Great.

7) I need to watch some movies. Alone. Movies I plan to watch: The Wolfman, Nine and Valentine's Day. Waiting for Alice in Wonderland and Dear John to be released.

8) I went for another haircut. Well, sorta like a trim. I think my hair grows REAL fast. Might be a good thing. Cutting your hair off gives you a sort of 'high' (now I sound like a perv) different from drugs.

Can't wait for my hair to be long again so I can cut it off the 2nd time.

9) Next Wed, I have to be in college at 7.45am to have a meeting with my marketing group and end the day at 9pm!

My group consists of 2 guys and 3 girls including me. Am the only Asian. Our 'project manager' for the 1st minor task is a part-time student and thinks that we can put the whole marketing proposal in 45 minutes. If we were on The Apprentice right now, Trump is gonna fire her for sure. She refuses to come in on a Mon and Tues becoz she has no class. Cmon, there is no way 45 mins is enough. Oh well, I will have to do something.

10) My timetable changed again. I now have 1 class on Mon, Tues and Fri. Wed remains. And 2 classes on Thurs.

We had a problem with the HR lectures and tutes. The lecturer told us a gazillion times Student Services was gonna change the timetable for us but we were turned away all the time. So I wrote an email to SS yesterday.

"To whom it may concern.

I am writing this email in regards to the HRM107 timetables. My classmates and I were turned away twice when the lecturer has clearly said that SS will be doing the amendments. Just to let you know once you are able to make the changes, the classes that will suit my schedule are Wed 12pm-2pm LECTURES and Thurs 10am-12pm TUTORIALS.

It is very distracting having to constantly check the timetables and for the lecturer to explain the situation a million times.

Thank you.

Lesley Woon
Student No: 13237"

I received my new updated timetable this morning. I'm very mean, ey?

Last batch of pics.

Edit: This is absolutely un-related but why does every guy has his hair extremely long when they go overseas? It's not that expensive really.

Jeremy came to our house for a visit and my granma gave him an angpau. Usually when you give a baby something, he/she would hold it for like 5 secs and let go. But Jeremy knows angpau got money ba, so he held on ot it for dear life wtf.
He's nearly half his mum.



Mini Michelin.



My uncle disturbing Jeremy. You know why Jeremy loves to smile? Because my uncle is a joker. He's the one always saying bullshit and crack up jokes to make everyone laugh. So he got it from my uncle.

"Mummy!! I like your face.."


He loves biting on a piece of cloth coz he is teething.


The whole family.

Fuck, I'm such a giant. I just realised that I have the same hairstyle throughout every pic.





My granma enjoying her time on the recliner.

Lil Jeremy flipping all of us off.

For my sort of farewell, we went to Excapade. Of coz, where else? Jeremy's dad, my uncle Francis, my bro and then Crystal's dad.
"What the fuck is wrong with this grandaughter of mine?"
Poor lil Crystal. She's only in Primary 3 and has tuition, dancing class and revision time at night.



She's becoming so skinny la. Due to her very full schedule everyday.


My uncle Francis is the one who gave me lotsa money for my farewell. And then he also bought flat screen TVs for my siblings and I! He bought his own TV and so he decided to buy another 2. One ofr my room and another one for my brothers' room. Freaking awesome!
My auntie - Crystal's mum and my mum.

A random pic of my granma (the one enjoying her time on the recliner) and my granpa. My granma is absolutely Chinese but my granpa looks different. But only 2 of my aunts look like my granpa. The rest all look like my granma.
Finally done!!

Jeremy Teo!!

Jeremy Teo at 6 months!!! So big and fat like his cousin, me!


Playing with my fingers.
Crying :(

"Huh??"
He likes to carry heavy stuff. It's like weightlifting to him. This is me carrying him carrying a toy.
With his granma.

So fat right!











Got food on the floor ah?



"WOAHHHHH!"

Ok. Back to some pictures from my new house. My closet.
My brothers' room.


People installing the dining table.

Opps. Forgot to rotate. This is the place where my bro rents his room in Bandar.
Same here.

A pic from home. See? I was rocking the boyfriend blazer even before I knew what it was. With Daisy Dukes and boots summore wtf hahahahah.
My sis.

Jeremy!!
The end.
