heh.

i'm such a bum. but i had so much fun here. and my sis is complaining that i dun put photos anymore. so pls pls read lionel's blog. haha.. for the latest photos.

i'm lovin' it.

i got a new skin again. yipeeee... the other one was nice until the butterfly disappeared from the blog.. haha. i guess it happens when since i'm using another person's blog skin.. yup. i hope this lasts.. i really like this. and to the pple who dunno, i like polka dots!! (shame on my friends who dunno!!) haha. anyway.. yup. and i think marilyn monroe is really damn cool. so yup. i'm lovin' my new skin.

what the *bleep* is happening to me?!?!

i've been getting really used to the life here that i have fun and i dun blog abt it. i totally left out lionel's party celebration!! and that we went parasailing....!! which cost a bomb la.

before that, i hafta to mention this:
the other day we were walking to walmart n lionel was complaining that his bag is damn heavy. and he was like saying that his bag "weighs a bomb"!! haha. ok. not funny. but it was damn hilarious when i first heard it. and he din even realize he was wrong. silly silly. ok. anyway...

must check out lionel's blog for photos!! must must!! although the photos of me are not very flattering. but oh well. at least my sis can see "how fat i am now".. she's damn mean la. cant wait for me to put on weight only.

that aside, i jus wanna apologize to lionel. "i'm sorry".. for always being so controlling. i realize that, like u, i wanna have some fun too. like when he went to watch da vinci code with me, i got really really pissed. he tried to contact me but i was in wal-mart n i din get his calls cuz stupid wal-mart has no reception.. and by the time i called him back, he was in the cinema already. i was really pissed that night cuz i wanted to watch that with him. and it was the first movie that i would watch here. and his too.. and i wanna watch it with him! like i'm really into all these "first times" thing. i like to ride my first rollercoaster in cedarpoint with lionel, eat my first cotton candy with him, etc. i know... i'm pyscho.. anyway. for that, i am really sorry cuz when i was walking home jus now, i saw 2 friends going out to watch movie and i was tempted to go with them. and i realize that it must be like this for lionel too. like he would want to have that freedom to watch whatever movie he wants with whoever, and whenever.. so yup. i'll try to not be so controlling. i promise!! haha. i know this must be really boring to everyone else. but i'm sure lionel will appreciate this.. :p (that is if he even reads this la)..

OH! and i realize something else too.. americans like to drink pop (soft drinks). they will let their babies drink too. like each person will have one cup. and it's not small la. and sometimes they buy the souvenir cups and the kid will want water in it but the mom will insist on them filling it with pop. haha.. and normally, the parents will drink diet pepsi and the kids will drink regular pepsi. i wonder.. is it cuz they are like older so diet is supposed to be a little healthier? weird.

oh oh!! happy 21st to ira!! i wish i was there... but i'm sure u had a grrrreeeaaat time!! i'll see u sooooooon. :)

inspired.

miss the days where i hang out with the girls in my house, to watch taiwanese serials and we ill share our days. for some time now, it seems like work is getting to us and we are restless by the time we get back. and although we still hang out, we seldom watch anything together anymore. we do still watch the same show but most of the time at our own timings. which is kinda sad. haha. but i guess we make do with what we got la. and i'm glad that at least we still share gossips and all bout work. kinda nice.

anyway, been watching "one litre of tears" - japanese serial. think some of u might know cuz i think they showed on channel 8 or something. anyway, i think it's a really good show. and what makes it really sad n touching is that it's based on a true story. when i watched the show, i cried my eyes out.. and the girls din allow me to sleep right away cuz they say my eyes will be really puffy the next day at work so we had to talk.. haha.. which was really nice. with some of the taiwanese.. yup. now. i'm almost done with the show. could have finish watching it yesterday but karen's laptop hibernated when the show was at its last few minutes. what a pain. haha. :p so till now, i haven gotten the chance to watch the ending.

so. after watching the show, i'm inspired to keep a diary. i think it's really cool. and not something to show off.. but i think it will help me be a little more disciplined. at least with one thing in my life. heh. what crap.

and not that i am hinting anything to anyone (even lionel) but i think i wanna get myself a dog if i can afford it when i get back. maybe for my 21st bday. i really really would want a dog. but i think it would be a really big responsibility and i must know i can afford all the food and the medical stuff and all. and now, my priority would be pheebe. so i must know i can keep both happy n well-fed and all. hmm.. and i guess other things that i am thinking about would be to buy myself a keyboard n pherhaps pick up piano lessons n all. my mom used to make us take piano lessons and since i've been so lazy all my life, i hated it. and so i quit without even taking grade one or anything. so yup. and now, i kinda wished i had continued. it would be nice. hmm.. or i think i will get a digital camera. one that belongs to me only. then i can take pictures all the time!!.. and i really wanna learn horseback riding. it would be nice..


i miss the LA days..

karaoke night!

was kinda excited at first cuz it's the first time i'm here when they have karaoke nights here.. haha. it's funny.. cuz some of them really cant sing.. but they still are having so much fun.. haha.. i wouldn't dare sing in front of these pple! haha.. and there was one girl who was singing "can't get you out of my mind" by kylie minogue and it was kinda bad so this girl from the audience was asking her to "shut up!!!" haha.. then everyone cheered.. then she stopped and more pple cheered.. haha.. poor girl. but she was still smiling. so everything's cool. hee..

so anyway, i jus bidded for my classes.. hopefully i get them. will have wed, thurs n fri classes.. and will be doing double major.. marketing n finance. eeks. hopefully i can pass... i'm so screwed la. i dun even know what i wanna do when i come out to work. dun think i will do finance stuff eventually too. jus that i'm not interested in the rest of the stuff too. so yup. wish me luck!

4 July.

Independence day came and gone.

i was so looking forward to 4 july cuz i heard cedarpoint will be super busy and alot of pple will wear like shirts with flags or like the national colours. but it was a little bit disappointing.

1. there were so little pple at the park. there were no lines at where i work so i was sent to help out at another place which had lines but i think it was the only place in the park that had lines. and i even heard this lady say (when i was queuing to use the restroom) that the toilet line is the only line in the park yesterday. how sad. hm..

2. tot everyone.. well almost everyone would wear something american but not really.. like i see the supervisors wearing ties with american flag print. and some girls had like red, white n blue ribbons on their hair.. and that's abt it! i even bought a pair of earrings jus for 4 july but i'm damn stupid la. forgot to wear. haha! :p

but then there was the fireworks. and it lasted for freaking 20 mins la.. it's super super long.. and it was quite awesome. i cant imagine. the fireworks at cedarpoint is already 20 mins long.. imagine the amount of money they spent and what other places might spend.. i mean like they're national stadium or something leh? it's crazy.. really crazy.

oh oh.. and i won the lottery. i bought this lottery: scratch n win thing from the supermarket the other day when i was waiting for the cab with lionel and when we got bored. and the lottery only cost me a dollar.. haha. and i won!!! a whole DOLLAR!! ( that is if i go online n register and all) haaaa.. damn funny la. but i decided i wunt bother la. all the trouble for one dollar.. haha.. but it was funny.

i'm jus talking to lek now and he's saying that i seem to be having fun here. it's true i guess. i have alot of freedom here. not from work la. work is crazily uptight and inflexible. but i mean if i wanna go to a pub or a gay club i can la. like my dad is not here to nag or something. but it also means i have to be that much more responsible for what i decide to do here la. haha.. anyway, i guess it's jus a differet kind of fun, like what i tell lek. at home, i have fun being with friends n all. enjoying the security and the familiarity at home. but here, i guess i enjoy doing things i wanna do. new things n crazy things that i can do. like if i wanna go shop for groceries at night, i can. if i wanna watch a movie i can. if i wanna hang out n drink with pple, i can jus go to lionel's room n drink with the guys n girls.. and it's different. i mean i'm not good with socialising but when i do get to know pple. i enjoy that. it's that kinda fun. it's hard to put it to words. but yup.

i've been really lazy so i haven been taking photos or taking the rides. i have 3 and a half more weeks till m contract ends. i will certainly miss this place. i miss the thais that left. i miss nokyoong. i miss working with her. and i think i will miss the taiwanese. i think i am getting to talk to them more. and they are really nice girls.
