tuesday was the BIG move. today crystal came over and helped me set up my loft bed. it was a real pain to take apart and set up again, and my mom told me to just buy a new "proper" bed like normal people do. but a love my loft bed! i bitched and whined and groaned while i assembled it, but now that its back up in my new room, all i can say is... ITS NICE!
still a few more little things like rubbish bin, a couple of posters, and some toiletries that i need to move from the old place, then comes the im-so-not-looking-forward-to-it task of cleaning up the place!!! im the type of cleaner who jus sweeps all the dust under the fridge. so now that the fridge isnt there anymore, the 12-month accumulation of dust and little bits of dried food is there for all to see!
yes, and im still internet-less, and will continue to be for at least another wk...probably more. which is probably a good thing cos i need to get my essay done and stop downloading Heroes, Lost and Smallville.
Went back to training today for the first time since end November. Some new faces...but mainly the old gang is still there. Fewer ppl tho... i guess not many aussies like running in the summer heat. and it was only 27 degrees! thats nothing, right Satiish!?!? haha. Tony the coach had me do an easy 40min run with a few surges in between...nothing too shocking on my first day back. still.....it hurt. im out of shape. the winter season starts in march, so ive got about 1 and a half months to get my form back.
tonight is roddick vs federer! ive become somewhat of a tennis fan of late, mainly bcos thats all they show on TV at night!
btw....does anybody know... where's Michael Chang????? haha.

optus needs to hire more callcentre ppl
i tried calling Optus (melbourne phone company) this morning to transfer my broadband from my current place to my new one. anyway...to the point.... i was put on hold for almost an HOUR!!!!!!! i dont care where u come from, that is totally unacceptable. and wait...it gets better.
when i finally got thru.... here's what happened:
me: hello. i'd like to transfer my optus broadband internet to a new address.
optus dude: does your new address have an existing optus connection.
me: erm...no.
optus dude: oh, sorry. in that case you'll have to call the home mover's extention. i can give u the number but they're not open on weekends.
me: (stunned). oh..... ok.
optus dude: you can call 1300555241 after 8am on monday. thank you. bye.
i was too stunned. you mean i had been waiting for AN HOUR for a 2 minute conversation that accomplished next to nothing!?!?!?!?
the rest of the day was good. moved more stuff to my new apartment in the day. watched rocky balbao (downloaded..hehe). its pretty good. better than i expected.
went to yongsi's at night with esther n wiwie to have bbq. it was so nice...the 4 of us talking and gossiping (and eating!). i dunno wat it is, but no matter how long its been since JC, i still feel that whenever we SB3 ppl get together, theres a closeness that i cant explain. i dont know wats gonna happen in the future...(some of us have are already married!!).. but i hope we'll continue to keep in touch.

moving house
tuesday is the big day.
i arranged with the moving company this morning, and they'll be here on tuesday.
the last two days have been a torture... largely its my fault bcos ive bought so much JUNK since i came to melbourne. (most of which.oddly enough, happens to be superman paraphanalia)
not to mention all the architecture models that are littered throughout the apartment. oh, and the little bits and pieces of leftover archi materials too. i think ive figured it out... usually when i build a model, i'll have a bit of leftover cardboard or foam core, and i'll jus chuck it in a corner "for later use". but when the time comes to build a new model, i jus go out n buy MORE materials... and then chuck the remainder in the corner again and the cycle repeats itself till now that small pile in the corner has become a HUGE LOAD of junk.
i for one believe in 'cleaning everything all at once..ONE SHOT!' rather than 'a little bit each day'. my mom would beg to differ....
today i also had to perform a very sad duty.....removing my beloved star wars episode 1-6 posters from my living room wall. although i suspect that it didnt bode too well with the ladies, i liked em up there anyways. gonna miss them in the new place cos i doubt my housemate would approve of me covering the walls with them.
in other unrelated news...i went for yongsi's b-day bbq on wednesday. esther and wiwie were supposed to come too, but they had to work late...so i went down to clayton by myself. met some of yongsi's mooonash frens. really nice people...easy going. i like. and we had chocolate fondue!! ITS NICE!!!
going back to her place for another bbq on sun...this time WITH esther n wiwie...to finish up the leftover food. hahaha.

HOOOOOOOT
the temperature today is......39 degrees!!!!!!
i wish i could just stay in all day in air-con comfort, but i have to go for a lecture right smack at noon. sigh... staying at home and playing FIFA sounds tempting.

after one week of summer school, ive come to the following conclusion...
history sucks.
it used to suck. it still sucks. and it will always suck.
argh... im jus a little on edge now after spending most of the day working on my class paper. (due on monday!!!). didnt expect to be doing so much work so early in the sem. still very much on holiday-mode.
at least if they're gonna make us study history (which i already find to be entirely irrelevant), at the very least make us study RECENT history like say within the past 50 years or so. That way, theres a high chance that we can actually APPLY the stuff we learnt into our designs and theres also a high chance that the architects we studied are still ALIVE. this sem im studying "modern" architecture in the 17th and 18th century. thats like AGES AGO!!! EVERYBODY IS DEAD! (excuse my bluntness). the architectural theories that they practiced then.....NOBODY CARES ABOUT THEM NOW!!!
like i said.....on edge.
i played some FIFA to try and ease the stress, but i lost 5-2 to sunderland!!!! only served to add to my stress.
things should get better after monday. i hope. i submitted my resume to Nandos this evening. hope i can get a job there, even though time really doesnt permit that right now. but i need the money. haha. gotta start planning for orientation soon too. need to find ways to sucker more innocent freshies into the Singapore Student Society. bwahahahahahaah!!!

i was trying to stay awake the whole lecture. usually i just succumb to the z-monster and doze off, but in summer sch there are only like 15 students in one lecture, so if u sleep, EVERYBODY can see! still....i think i dozed off a few times for a few seconds. cannot tahan. good thing is, the lectures are recorded. thank you technology!!
feels really weird here now that satiish, marie and grace have left for spore. we had such a great holiday. thanks you guys. you made it so fun! "Its Nice!" "Great Success!"
the apartment is very quiet now. i leave the TV on when im bumming ard, otherwise its too creepy.

30/36 Drummond Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053
i just got the keys today! so excited! haha. its a 2nd storey apartment in a secure compound with low rise buildings only about 4 storeys. the landscaping is quite nice, and altho its farther from the city as my current place, its a LOT cheaper... which means more money for me to spend...heh heh. (mmm....comics......road bike......)
trying to get a job now. summer sch only takes up one or two hours a day, so ive got lots of time to kill. somebody hire meeeee!
