getting fat...
i'll blame it on the cold. it makes me hungry ALL the time. just last night i ate half a bag of potato wedges AFTER dinner. and over the past week ive eaten two LARGE bags of potato chips while watching DVDs. i have fully embraced my inner couch-potato.
i need a JCC crash course now..........

this thing burnt a big ass hole in my wallet...
oh and it gets better, towards the end of the semester there are going to be two HUGE model assignments. And from what ive heard from senior students, i should be expecting to spend at least $300 on each model!! i was like WHAT THE FWOOSH!??!?
yup so here are some photos of my finished model. pls take some time to look at the pics cos, remember, this is expensive shit! hahaha... haha. heh.....no seriously, it is.
ah, yes. the $70 model. its about A2 size base, and 30cm high.
if you're thinking..."hey, that looks sorta like an a-frame..." well, you're right!
another view
and yet another...
i apologise for the lack of pics of babes in my blog. as u can see, i am married to my work now. and divorce looks a long way off...

work work work
i havent even played any comp games this entire wk! and i've missed 2 soccer training sessions already. actually, thats my own doing though, cos i spent the time training for the marathon. speaking of training, my knee is starting to hurt a little again. shit. i feel a bit worried cos im only up to 15km now... still got a long way to go to 42... but i shall persevere. remember, this year is PAYBACK TIME... so im gonna go all out till my knees buckle underneath me and i cant walk. but till then i'll give it my best shot... hopefully there wont be any long-term damage... touchwood!
yest nite i ran out of meat in the freezer, so i had to eat pasta with tomato sauce for dinner. and it tasted oddly like combat rations... eeewwwwww. must remember to stock up on more chicken this wk, especially with all the running coming up.
ah, ok ive taken enough break time to write this entry. time to get back to work on my model...
work work work. (keep telling myself that no matter how bad it gets, its better than sitting in an OCS meeting.... and that helps.)

death to ashes
i was pretty indifferent to the game of cricket up till about 24 hours ago. the reason being? bcos the freakin australian TV network decided to show a cricket game instead of the Man U vs Everton match!!! its supposed to be some HUGE cricket event called the Ashes Test between England and Australia..... BIG DEAL! WHO CARES?! certainly not ME!
All i see is some dude throwing a ball at some other dude and then him hitting that ball. and this goes on for hours and hours and hours and (im sorry cricket fans) but its just BLOODY BORING!! i mean....i could stare at paint peeling on a wall and THAT would be more interesting. alright, i guess my hatred is being incorrectly channelled... i dont hate cricket... its the damn australian TV network i should be lashing out at! HEY u a-holes! have u ever watched the EPL b4??? if u did, you'd probably shoot yourself in the head for airing cricket instead of soccer!! ARHAHRHA!! GAHGHHAGH!!! GAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
im just so frustrated now..... cant wait to go back to spore in november to my beloved ESPN and Star Sports.
sheesh....

mari kita rakyat singapura...
I must confess, i woke up yesterday morning and completely forgot that it was national day. it was not till halfway in the day when i was sitting in my lecture theatre that it occured to me. haha. oh well, guess ive never been a very patriotic person to begin with.
I went out with Esther and one of her frens for supper to celebrate. (and yes, we all wore red n white). We went to this place in Crown hotel called Greco (i think)... its some cafe-cum-restaurant a-la NYDC in spore. my gawd, their cakes are soooooooo good! not to mention loaded with calories!! haha... but its national day lah... so can indulge a bit more. =)

drug alley
My latest project is to do a collage on this alleyway in the city called Hosier Lane. Our tutor gave us a choice of two lanes to visit and research, but Hosier was definitely the more interesting of the two. (see image above). This place is creepy in the day, and down right dangerous at night. Its like THE ghetto alley of melbourne, where ppl sell drugs and stuff. haha. Thats wat makes it so much fun to do a collage on. Well, if you're wondering, i didnt get to see any drug pushers, but thats probably cos i went in the day. And NO WAY am i going there at night!!
On a lighter note, i came home from soccer practice the other day with my t-shirt on backwards the entire journey on the tram. And i dont mean "inside out". I mean BACKWARDS!....... u know that tag on the back of your neckline that shows the size of the t-shirt? it was sticking out from the front collar at my neck!! and this was for the whole journey home! oh and i went to the supermarket on the way home too... so everybody there must have seen it too!!! AAHHH!!! i didnt realise till i got home and looked in the mirror. i was like... WAT THE...!?!?
