Guess I should start work then...
*grumble grumble*
This is officially the longest I've been ill. 4 days.
No medication, just upped the vitamin C to 1000mg, lots of water, chicken soup and rest.

I'll prolly be using the old Razr until me mom gets her iPhone 4. Then I get her hand me down iPhone until I go off to Melbourne and get a phone plan.

I've decided on the spa by the way. I've also decided on the state at which the Spa will be situated. I would probably have to do a brief blurb to run it by the lecturer this Wednesday. This, not the stage, will be my piece de resistance.

Watched TEDTalks again.
Favourite quote thus far:
"(What we have is) people being persuaded to spend money we don't have, on things we don't need, to create impressions that won't last, on people we don't care about." - Tim Jackson on Economic Reality Check

"I am because we are." - The African philosophy of ubuntu.

"If you have to explain it, it ain't working... I don't think so," - Milton Glaser on using design to make ideas new.

A flashback from Ken Robinson's TEDsperience...

Nativity play scene where the three kings were giving the gifts, the kids got the sequence wrong.

Kid 1: I bring you gold

Kid 2: I bring you myrrh

Kid 3: Frank sent this. (Frankincense)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...

New 2010 Ken Robinson talk at TED quotes:
"Life is not linear, it's organic,"
Then he goes on to solidify my thoughts on 'If it doesn't nourish your soul, why do it?'

I LOVE  Min and May :D
I LOVE Bong tooo!!!

October to December is for...
Girly parties with jello shots
Penang overnight trip
Internship
Kings and Queens of Comedy Live, Asia
Birthdays
Errant brainstorming
Actual WORK, god help me.

Aw fukket, I love everyone.

Today I set out to delete all those redundant phone numbers that I never called anymore/went out of service/changed/etc.

You realise just how many people you keep in touch with or how many people keep in touch with you. See, I always made it a point to be the best kind of friend. I try to keep in touch with a lot of people but, and to quote the quotable, friendship is a two-way street -- or half-and-half... I go halfway, you go halfway and we meet in the middle for some coffee -- so when they stop putting in the effort, it's time to say adieu.

Then there's the people who you exchange numbers with knowing full well there's nothing to link the two of you and you should have deleted that number the day after but you forgot.

There I was, sifting through my phonebook going "Who the hell are all these people?"
There. I'm a louse when it comes to names.

Today my only little sister turns 20 and I just realised what a sneaky little bastard she really is. She goes to Italian restaurants and orders a basic Spaghetti Napolitana -- even if it's not on the menu.

If you think about it, a Napolitana is one of the simplest and most basic sauces one can make. It's also the easiest to botch up. A true and respectable Italian restaurant wont bat an eyelash and make it. It's a real test of whether or not the restaurant has the proper balances of herbs and other ingredients. One wrong move and the dish fails.

Happy Birthday to her. *clap clap clap*

Things I have learned about me:
- I love dark chocolate, I love hazelnut chocolate more. And I love orange or mint ganache/filling. I hate strawberry fillings in my chocolate.

First class of the final term and I have the flu.
Nice timing, Mr. Influenza!
Toss-up between Spa and Residential (Apartment) for Elective.
Which one? Which one? Which one??

I sit here in front of the laptop, my nose blocked. I resist the urge to spell everything like how a blocked-nose sounds. Thinking of the pros and cons of each design project, going back to each design studio to figure out which I had the most fun doing.

Earlier today, before class, I had nuked the bacterial bastards that resided in my throat with a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. Die, parasites, die! I can't think properly, my judgement is hazy and I feel like melting all over the place. I bet puddles of water move a lot faster and smoother that I could ever -- assuming of course that they were sentient to begin with. Anyone remember the TV show The Secret World of Alex Mack? I remember the joy I had watching it as was The Adventure of Pete and Pete. Nickelodeon was great circa that and Roco's Modern Life but now it's crap.

Where was I? Ah, yes.. A tirade of 'Hatchooooo's and flying snot bombard the pile of tissues to my right. I feel miserable. As miserable as a wet cat shivering on the cold cobblestones of London town. Poetic? No, just miserable. Also, irritated as if nothing in the world could make me smile... Okay, that would be a lie. Next to nothing in the world could make me smile because all I want to do is cuddle up on a couch with a blanket, a box of tissues and Monty Python's Flying Circus on the telly in an empty house. All who know me know that my house is all but empty.

I need to make a rough outline of the contents of my report (due week 3). Apartment or spa? Spa or apartment? All know of my distaste for the school's ProgAdmin, Mr. Bala, and how I want to wring his neck if he had one. Anything to wipe that smugness from his bloated face. I also have to write a cover letter that accompanies my CV to be sent to Veritas. Ah, what a terribly busy end of the week. Makes me want to not go to physio tomorrow. I think I shant.

Quotable Quotes:
"Gather inspiration from fields outside your own. Stay away from the computer until you know what you want to do. Good wine doesn’t have to be expensive." -- Lorbus

By the way,
K&QoC ASIAAA WHOO YEAHHH!!!

Eskimo is stuck in my head... Nuck Fluck Buck Chuck.

Dorkiness is inherent. As are dorkseizures.

My day won't start until noon -- Hm... It's noon.

I judge people, I wish I didn't but I do. I try not to so often though.

I didn't go to the bank yesterday so I have to go today.

I was such an in-crowd junkie when I was in grade school. Fail.

Fresh Yeast Batard reads as Fresh Yeasty Bastard.

All men are bastards so all walls have gone up again, as is the electric fence to keep out super dangerous large dinosaurs. Wargh! Raptors!

Listening to Incubus's cover of Turning Japanese before listening to The Vapours doing the original throws you off balance.

Have I mentioned that I love Steampunk down to the clothes? Yes, I love Steampunk.

On occasion, at 2AM in the morning I make little to no sense at all.

I updated my to-do list of life on my 43Things. I've managed to complete four of it so far. And no, at the moment I only have under 25 things.

When I say I want to eat soup my mom asks if I'm on a diet...
:(
I just wannooo eat soup!

Anyway, today is for bath, bank, soup, music, tea, dinner and sleep in that order. Well, maybe sneak in some internet... because it's oh-so-important. hahahaha...

I would like to gather my guitar playing friends, like, maybe one or two of you and play some Tenacious D songs... ESPECIALLY 'I'm The Only Gay Eskimo' because it's so awesome.

CORRECTION! : Eskimo is done by Corky and the Juice Pigs, my apologies. I still would LOVE to do this live. I'll be with a pair of maracas.

Anyway, I'll be opening an investment portfolio in three years or less, I have to do my research first. Hehehehe... Maneee kahm.
I'm not going to pay someone to squirrel my money for me because I can do that myself.

Being financially independent is not about being able to buy luxurious items at the drop of a hat, it's about being able to choose to do so without thinking twice about the repercussions. That, however, is not an excuse to be spendthrift.

P/S I'm supposed to redesign but I'm lazy!

P/S/S Current pet project: Compiling everyone's first impression of me. Now that's what I want to know. No holds barred, no cencorship and no, I'm not gonna get pissed.

I have weird dreams, usually the location is on the same planet in the same city, just a little askew. But this time it was on another planet. What's the judgefudge?

Oh, turns out that I only get bank statements every 6 months for savings accounts. Ha-ha.
To get one ASAP I have to actually go to the bank branch and ask nicely. Meh.
It's getting to be a really quick day.

Aaaaanyway,
Azoe did his photoshoot at my house today and brought along with him the lovely make-up artist, Rachel Wong, who's pretty awesome.
And two models, a bloke and a woman.

Anyhoots, I'll be going to Kings and Queens of Comedy Asia.
Ohhh, yeaaahhh...
=D

Iiiiiiit's October.

Oh, I like Vikings.
I'm not quite sure why.

One of my dude-buddies got me on a engagement ring bender -- Bunch of people I know getting married. Time flies, man. The thought of the proposal itself scares me half to shit but the rings are oh so pretty!
