For the past hour or so, I've been shaving....




... my clothes (haha, what were you thinking??)

With this:

It's a lint remover! AND it costs only $2.50! That's got to be the most well-spent $2.50 ever, from a hot dollar shop at Hornsby when I went shopping with my mum today.

Look! It's exactly like a guy's electric razor, except the holes are bigger (I didn't know that, my brother told me... it's not like I inspect electric razors, so.... I was telling him rather than using this, I can always use his electric shaver to remove lint ^^'' because I'm fairly certain this one won't last that long... come on, it's only $2.50!)

It's almost therapeutic... shaving lint off my jackets, because I like getting cheap jumpers.. but they get all fluffy after a few washes, especially since my mum likes chucking them straight into the washing machine without reading about how to wash them first, and she usually wash them with a whole lot of other clothes that aren't meant to be washed the way she washes them ^^'' dear mum went and got a lint remover too, the old fashion kind that's like a rough comb for a dollar. I think mine beats hers =D

I don't get why some guys don't shave. I had so much fun shaving my clothes today =) Unfortunately, the razor stopped working all of a sudden... I hope it's the batteries that ran out and that it's not broken already... currently recharging batteries...

Congrats TT! 1 down, and just 2 to go =) Cheering you on! =D

It's raining!

Woke up to the sound of the Chrno Trigger's battle theme going off on my phone and it was still dark. I glanced at the ceiling where the time was projected onto.

"5:32am" flashed in red.

I vaguely wondered why someone would call me at this ungodly hour. Then I remembered the moment I hit "receive".

TT was calling to wake me up. I need to get up for work. chibiru.

The usual face washing, brushing of teeth, set some water to boil, made tea, got changed, woke dad up. "5 minutes". Tying of hair, clip in place, new socks =) then.... where are my black shoes???

No shoes.

I had no black shoes for work ._. where on earth were they...

"You're going to be late"

What the heck. I just put on boots and covered it with my black pants. Good enough. Rushed out the house and... it was foggy. The whole place was misted over and it felt... surreal. Sun hadn't risen yet and the whole place was covered in this haze that it was hard to see the road in front of us. Dad was driving slowly and arrived at Franklins safely.

8 minutes to 6:30am.

Rang the back dock bell. No reply. Waited another 3 minutes before ringing again. The driver of the big Franklins truck with 13 pallets stood waiting with me.

"Maybe they're on strike."

... Yea, I wish.

I was going to be late if they didn't open the gate for me soon, so I called the front end and had someone open the gate for me.

4 minutes to 6:30am.

Staff came walking casually to unlock the gate. Strange, key refused to unlock the gate.

"Wow, looks like Franklins doesn't want me to work today"

After a couple more tries with the key, it finally opened for me. Damn. I was getting ready to go home too.

Swiped on with 2 minutes to spare.

=)

POS didn't balance, but that's ok.
J came late to replace me, but that's ok.
I didn't finish packing the third trolley for Health and Beauty, but that's ok.

It was raining when I got home. For some reason, maybe because of the cold, I was starving. Here is lunch:

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Last night's melon soup with chicken and a packet of wonton added to it. Oyster sauce on the side. Because oyster sauce makes everything taste good. =)

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Suddenly craved fish fingers, so here they are. Oven baked for healthiness, haha.

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Got a postcard from A and D (work colleagues) in England. =D

Oh, and my black shoes? My mum chucked it out =_____= What am I going to wear to work??

An update on food:

Let's see, revisited a lot of places, mainly to "TT House", this hong kong style cafe in China town for cheap breakfast and fast lunches. There was the buffet (oh my gosh, the buffet) at Shangri-La hotel... lookie:

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Plate of crabs and prawns. We went on Friday night (TT's birthday) so there was seafoood! Gosh, the prawns were huge and amazingly sweet *drool-worthy*

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Mussels, sushi, nigiri, oysters~

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

An amateur's plate? =P

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

Oriental style plate~

Their mushroom soup was to die for! Unfortunately, it was very very creamy and mushroomy which meant... after one bowl of it, you'd be pretty much full. Someone was crazy and had two.

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

They brought out this whole salmon fish with smoked salmon on the side. One of the first to grab it =D

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

If I'm going back there, it's for these. Absolutely crazy delicious Crème brûlée!!

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

A really nice fountain of dark chocolate... strawberries, marshmellows, fruits to dip in....

From 2009-06-18-2205-35

And gummie babies. ^^''

There was the night when we went to Menya again. It's been ages since I went back there... this was the night when TT, D, my brother and I went to watch the 3D animated film Coraline and felt hungry afterwards. It was freezing cold too...

Hm... chicken~ ^^''

Coraline was pretty good btw, people should go watch it, though I'm not sure if they're showing it anymore. Heard there were only two screenings of it for the Film Festival and it was pretty much a full house at the George Street Cinema. Someone recommended the book too, though I haven't read it... might pick that up sometime (i.e. sit at kino for a few hours and read it there? haha) My brother and I were talking about dark fairytales on the train and he told me to watch Pan's Labyrinth. It's a Spanish movie (of course with English subtitles) and... let's just say, it was hauntingly beautiful and scary. So. Go watch it.

Haven't really tried anything new otherwise... did go to the Ichiban Boshi at Bondi Junction because apparently it's better than the one outside Kino...

I think it's time to try something other than Japanese food.

Snacked at this Taiwanese dessert place next to... (yabai, mental brain block...) that Japanese restaurant called *I forgot* and had um... these... soup balls.... and fried chicken wings... =D Chicken wings rule~

Noo... =( no one's cooking dinner tonight....

In dire need to detox.

Got off a 10.25 hours shift. It was absolutely crazy. When I got there at 11, the front end was a mess, all the front end staffs were upset, with no supervisor. C, being the cash office backup supervisor... well, frankly speaking, she didn't really know what to do and didn't let -anyone- go on their breaks at all. So, sent people on their breaks, one after another, two people couldn't come in, had to find replacements, begged K to stay (and I owe her lunch now, and a shoulder massage because she kept saying it hurts, haha) till 7, which would make hers a 9 hours shift... worked 5 hours straight before going on my first break.

Those first 5 hours, I survived on a can of Mother (energy drink). That was actually a life saver. I don't think I would have gotten through those hours without it.

The next 5 hours or so, I survived on a bottle of glucose drink. And candy. I think Franklins is slowly poisoning my body.

I didn't balance today.

Got home and had spaghetti for dinner. Except the sauce my dad bought was Olive.... and I don't particularly like olives. Hm. (goes back to candies)

/rant

I don't want my results back for this semester T T

No reply...?

/random

My mum has been nagging me about cleaning up my room(s) and to write music for her. I think after 10 hours of work, you really don't want to be nagged at. In fact, you really don't want to talk or see anyone. You'd just want to be quiet, be alone, and... just stuff the rest of the world.

Till the next morning.

Oh... my gosh.

Last day of uni o O!!

Another arc in L's life has come to an end.

.... nearly anyway... two more essays.... KILL ME! X(
