6 days to labwork!

only 6 days, 144hours, 8640minutes, 518395 seconds to start of work! (5 secs allowance for me to type - i'm known to be an excruxiatingly slow typist hehe)

mum wonders why i'm so darned happy to start work when the pay's paltry (350 a month for 12hrs per day, 5 days per week work). that sort of works out to be S$1.45833... per hour of work. and if that isn't the darned lowest manual labour rate in Singapore, well i'd eat my fart :) okok! i promised my mum to not be so obscene (on account of my being a girl). so if that isn't the lowest rate i'd consume my gaseous methane production (rear ended). hurhur :D

anyways. hope you guys had e bestest christmas :) and hope you guys don't have serrated throats from the awfully dry fit-to-spontaneously-combust turkeys :) i had a great christmas feast at my aunt's condo after the race by jess' church on the 24th, where we barbequed (err... my uncle-in-law barbequed >_<) and ate and drank like merry wise men (and women. and girls. and boys. and 1 homosexual. who is my brother. who likes pink.). the children had loads of fun and loads of presents. the adults caught up on gossip. i explained my desire (or not) to apply to be a lawyer, or teacher. and all promptly suggested that i pick up driving (if you want a plastered tree and a plastered me) and apply for NUS (which i will - adequately brainwashed by them haha).

my partially drunk and completely exhausted (cum soot-faced) uncle started off on his litany of how many of his colleagues holding mechanical engineering degrees went off to be teachers. and purportedly one of his primary school Chinese teachers got sent to Woodbridge cos e guy couldn't take the stress of teaching those young cods. moral of the story? if the students do badly, IT'S NOT THE TEACHER'S FAULT! (wow. where'd i hear that before??)

yesterday i went to Sakura (Tampines SAFRA) where i ate and ate and ate till all my family members burst (whereupon we had to beat a hasty retreat from the restaurant). i ate 8 heaped plates of food but i SURVIVED! woohoo. and to speak the truth, i REALLY wasn't that stuffed yet. think i was only what? 70% full. or even 65%. my family has minute appetites next to me. (but reptilian next to others, i'm sure. cheer up mum! :D) and dun tell jess! (she'd poke a pyramid sized hole in me with the hamper i sent her haha)

pambam was in MBK last night, too! haha. eh seriously. i saw a shawl at MBK selling for 500B which was perfectly identical (plastic wrapper and all) to the one i bought in Chinatown for just 140B! haha. dun buy stuff from MBK unless you really really really will die without it. it's a tourist haven (thus a shopkeepers' haven). only buy ur tu-chan (local produce, like durian cakes, pork floss crackers etc.) from the shop at the top floor next to the food court. and the dinner gowns (if you can fit. i didn't think they'd entertain my request of sewing 2 suits together. they didn't.). otherwise, just look see look see. oh i bought 3 casual bags from there! but it was a clearance sale. everything was going at 199B each!!!!!!!! how could i resist??????? haha. yeah. *wags finger at pambam* hey u being half thai with no binte, u ought to know that malls are money strippers. the REALLY good shopping is done in roadside alleys like Chinatown's! *biangs palm against side of pambam's head* and having no pornporn is no excuse, dah-ling :) and i'm thinking of the sharks' fin and birds' nest there again :) sigh. i shall go again in june!!!!!! hyukhyuk. armed with my paltry pay and what's left of it.

kn's comprrrrraining that i've been too AS to go summit. well wait till pambam's back la! then i can distribute my dusty goods and collect my pirated HPGOF from her (yay cheap vcds from MBK!!!) :P

i certainly hope Daniel Radcliffe doesn't start the first scene with sawasdee-krap. i think i'd flip haha :)
