okay i'm too lazy to post all the pics from yest (not that there were a lot to begin with, sadly)
i am so so tired, i shall crawl under my covers soon and hope tmr i wake up with a clear head. sleeping at 2am and waking up at 7.30 is doing nothing for my sanity. not to mention spending most of the day out. groan. tmr's gonna be another long day.
debbie the deejay! haha. she won some competition so she's going to seattle in nov to represent spore! cool huh..
christine the crazy whale who insists on calling me a goldfish.. oh she predicts that i'll come back with 5 boyfriends, one for each weekday (during the weekends i'll accompany my parents and pretend to be guai..) she's hilarious:) so full of nonsense..
rachel the librarian/squishy squid 2/octopus who keeps on saying i'm mad and wanting to squish me (ser, she bears an uncanny resemblance to you in this aspect) she was also trying to coax me to buy earrings yesterday, but her efforts weren't particularly successful cos 1. i'm lazy to change earrings 2. i'm v picky
wah. i'm quite zoned out. actually i've been quite zoned out since 10 or so, rachel will attest to that. but i revived while transferring my photos. but now i'm beginning to get woozy again.
anyway. last day of work. as usual, in the morning got nothing to do.. so went to pack library and wait for either rachel/debbie to come so can ask if they need help. well and also pack up my own stuff.
and i was wondering when either one of them was going to come in cos both of them were late.. haha.. well done. =shakes head= but for diff reasons. so debbie passed me this magical creatures book.. do cloze based on the creatures inside. the stories were hilarious.. i was summarising it to amuse melvyn.. okay my brain is really non-functional now.. maybe tmr.
then lunch at genki sushi w debbie n ey. haha i didn't know they pissed off national geographic pple. and ey treated me.. so nice. i must really go and get something for them. but i'm so lousy at presents.. sigh.
hum. oh T-notes. haha. by a very happy coincidence, the L2 CW that debbie did included a beached whale. hahaha. i shan't say anymore. and it wasn't my idea.. really..
and later christine came in and dumped a package on my head. the card was so cute.. i think she draws better than i do. haha. and i actually wasn't feeling that sad before that.
so hilarious. i'm glad i have the photos anyway. tho maybe i should've taken a video.. sharks.. wat a waste. nvm i think i shall go back n say byebye before i fly off. we shall see.
2nd last day of work. rather queer in a way. and i didn't really like the ending of my 2nd SR.. but i have no idea how to keep to the length and put a moral in and ...
oh but on the bright side zee said yest during gen t meeting the teachers said my SR for the L2 topic was good! (the topic was a house burglary) cos it's a difficult topic since there isn't much action.. haha. yay.
when i listen to phyllis n rachel talk about how TLU doesn't allow them to eat together (and times them for lunch -horror-) i feel very fortunate. the trouble is that i don't know what to get for ERU. it's not like i'm very close to them to begin with (a far cry from how johann was, at any rate), i'm just glad they're easygoing and everyth, even with all the crap that jc rains on them sometimes.
oh well.. yay rachel's going to treat me tmr!:) i think. anyway, dinner should be good. and very filling.. oh i'm so happy i finally found the battery charger for the digicam.. although i should've just switched on the light in the first place then wudn't hafta msg my bro to ask. ah well. but the thing is, i found it!:):):)
anyway i'm happier. as compared to just now when i was glowering because the IMM place cheated me, i thought the scholls were supposed to be cheaper there but they were the same price! in fact, they marked up the price and told me it was 10% off.. ridiculous.. okay i shan't work myself up.
rather sleepy. maybe it's the effects of contacts in two consecutive days haha.
haha. i had my free lunch today! i must admit it was quite boring half the time, given that we had to wait sooo long for food to come. like. appetizers were instant. but then the main course took 45mins!! !!!. bah. but globetrotters was really full.. i think there were like 70 pple heh. wonder how much jc has to pay for us. oh well. it was really filling though, i had maybe 4 or 5 slabs of fish on my plate and potatoes and veges and i ate everything up. haha. so fat. grilled fish provencale!
so we were all happy, full and sleepy at 2.45pm. haha. i think i might have liked the cheesecake but i don't think i could have finished/enjoyed it in my very full state so well.
and we took almost 2 hours over lunch. or maybe more:p i enjoyed going over to annoy rachel n phyllis. haha. apparently rachel was "throwing a tantrum" cos her food took a real long time to come.. ah well. i think christine was amused w my cartoons:) she says i'm still a kid. oh well. i think so too.
man there's something very wrong with me nowadays.. i think i've been doing too much writing, when i want to use a certain word i can't find the correct word.. it just sticks in my head and refuses to form into a word. blah. feel like an idiot sometimes.
yay melvyn came today.. i think the saying that everything which goes around comes around is true. bcos i annoy rachel, and he annoys me. okay i don't know if rachel annoys anyone (maybe phyllis) or if anyone annoys melvyn. oh well. and i still haven't seen deborah in ages, she must be too caught up with her cute french manager:(
so.. 2 more days left at work. oh it was so funny, one of the teachers came back frm maternity leave and was telling us abt how she shocked pple with her huge stomach (apparently larger than is normal for pregnant women). one day she walked past mcdonalds and a malay woman nearly dropped her burger upon seeing her, and exclaimed "so big!" (in malay). rofl.
bittersweet. although today i was bored even while alternating btwn doing a compo on something that happened at the beach and shelving books. oh well.
ooh sarah's pics look nice.. also a reminder of how everyth'll be new. hmm.
ah. i actually think i enjoyed my job at tll the most. which is quite queer, considering how everyone else apparently has a lot to bitch about. i'm just glad i ended up in ERU, even though i don't talk to them that much, cos TLU doesn't sound like a very nice place to work in heh. they seem to have so much more stuff on their hands (and subsequently are more ngiao about stuff)
so, back to why i liked this job the best. i think it has to do with them relying on interns quite a bit, and so it's quite normal to be an intern and everyone just fits in. or slips in. whichever. and colleagues are mostly quite young and fun. haha. and of course the job's interesting. though i think i may cross-eyed from staring at dictionary.com for like 50% of the time i was there.
okay i'm speaking like i've already left. but only 3 more days, it's gd to reflect just before the end. ohhh yes rachel calls me squishy squid (doesn't it roll off the tongue nicely? haha) so i decided i shall be squishy squid one and she can be squishy squid two. haha. like bananas in pyjamas (tho i never watched the show) "B1, are you thinking what i'm thinking?" and so on. and i drew my cartoon garfield fish for her today and she started squealing about how cute they were. i must go dig out the garfield paper again.. i only can draw the fish facing the left.
and i went to look at sherman's lagoon yest, as usual, and found that the cartoon had to do w whales! so i printed it out for christine. let's see what she has to say tmr. haha. hopefully she'll be amused.
and free lunch tmr! wahahah. and no minutes to type, yeah.. but i'll probably end up inktrailing stuff again. inktrailing is quite mindless, poor zee. ok not really mindless, but tedious. well. bleah. i don't feel like typing anymore.. time to disappear
hahaha. i can't believe myself.
transcript of msn conversation btwn me n kiat:
cosmos says:
in exactly 21 days from today
cosmos says:
we'll be sitting in the plane
clar:] 3 weeks says:
bleah
clar:] 3 weeks says:

clar:] 3 weeks says:
i think i might cry at the airport. u'd better bring tissue for me. rofl.
cosmos says:
haha okay
cosmos says:
how many boxes do you think u'll need?
cosmos says:
3 or 4?
clar:] 3 weeks says:
boxes?
clar:] 3 weeks says:
we're only allowed 2 pieces of luggage leh how to box
cosmos says:
i meant tissue boxes
[unrelated stuff has been edited out.]
i couldn't stop laughing at myself. but really! luggages are related to airport too wat..
and now the mad hatter's diaoing me about dino tears are being large so i said maybe i'll cause a flood and everyone'll die. in which now, we have seemingly discovered why i'm the last dino around. everyone else drowned. although the question remains: did i float because i was the smallest/the fattest?
how thought-provoking.
more like how nonsensical. i must have read too much bagthorpe/gerald durrell. but i'm still going back to read more, given that i must return the bagthorpe book soon. haha.
