Arghs...
the beauty of placements where u have to catch public transport does NOT sound particularly appealing.

I'm happy i got the places i want! but they are so inaccesible

will definately get a car if i'm staying on here nx year and working..
but.. Jan reckons i shld get one now.. SO i will DEFINATELY stay on nx year. How devious. hahaa...

I dunno.. looking at potential cars at the moment.. i'm loving it!

Hmmm...
its been ages ages and ages since i've had this dessert..
not just in melbourne.. but even in singapore..

haven't had it in years..

It brings me way back to my childhood days when i think of it.. so many fond memories.. that to this day.. jan, sue and I still reminicise about the times we had bomb alaska!
It was such a treat..
so long ago... in the days when me and jan used to dress identically when we were growing up..
being in the resturants... looking on fasincatedly when they BOMBED the thingy up with alcohol.
haha. it was so fun.
and so yummy.

Thanks eeken! for a WONDERFUL cake at cg!!
And for the recipe.. haha.. if i ever bother to take the effort to make it.
i think its one of my all time favourite desserts... :)

i don't know why..
but i haven't been sleeping well the whole past week..
just CAN'T SLEEP!

tried sleeping at 3am.. and STILL woke up at 7am this morn..
i think i'm getting so desperate to get a GOOD solid nights sleep.. i'm actually dreaming about going to sleep!

how bad is that.

dreamt i was in hospital.. doing my placement.. and was telling a doctor who was passing by that i couldn't sleep..
and he cheerfully took out this big fat syringe out of his coat and said "Don't worry! i'll have u asleep in 10 mins!"
And i remember feeling so happy! (seeing him inject my arm!!)
and then i was walking around a ward bed (as if i was a patient) waiting for drowsiness to hit me.. and then a nurse came in and tucked me into bed..
and for some reason.. flo ( YES, YOU!) turned up at my bedside (u were my course mate on placement with me.. haha) and said u were sick and wanted to go home early..
and i was very happily saying " Okay!"
and then..
I WOKE UP.
arghs.

so defeated the purpose of my dream.

Just came home from Crown casino..after home cell..

due to a series of unfortunate events... i had to do a post midnight run alone frm crown back to my place.
in 5mins flat.
ha.
never thought i was capable of it...
but the extremely dark, deserted roads under bridges, the dodgy reputation of the area around crown and absolute lack of a soul on the streets meant my overactive imagination was kicking into overdrive.. imgining getting mugged by drug addicts. or worse.

the only thing i could think of was " God.. please get me home in one piece!"

and Jan's " WHAT TO DO IF GETTING MUGGED" response:
" Oh.. i just like got mugged 5 mins ago.. can u like, not?"

which would be believable.. considering i didnt even have a handphone with me. ha.

Mr C was quite sweet... " No matter what.. u cannot risk going home alone!" awww..
Praise God to be sitting safe and sound and warm in front of my comp now!

Going shopping tom.. :) happy happy....

i dunno...
i HATE it when things happen at once.
WHY is it when all is quiet.. its just quiet..

but then it all comes at one go?
i thank God for helping me clear up my thoughts and feelings..
Of making it absolutely clear
That i know the direction.. the destination
But i still don't know the path..
Lord, guide me..

AHH..
i feel dead.. i think its mon blues...
and the fact that jan had her birthday party yesterday and stressed me out by inviting the super cooks of OCF over for dinner.

Thats right, yours truly.. chief cook for the evening! haha
I felt like i was on Iron Chef.. with 2 assistants.. (BIG thanks to sue and vicky!!) who helped with the chopping.. mixing and frying.. and me being all bossy barking orders and being incredibly stressedout.

But it all went well.. had chicken and mushoom risotto (note: NEVER EVER cooking risotto for parties again. way too long and too much effort. but so yums) shepherd's pie.. pasta.. chicken wings.. caesar salad.. roast lamb with mint and red wine on a bed of veges.. tiny little appetisers stuff with smoked salmon.

Was so scared there wasn;t going to be enough food because of the number of guys.. but in the end.. over cooked so much we had to give food away in order to close the fridge door. ha.

Well compliments for the night included " You're going to make a gd wife ah!" and " You are coming to wangaratta next week to cook for me right?" (frm a doc on country rotations).. phew. at least it was edible. By the end of cooking.. i had NO idea what i was putting into the food.. multi tasking between frying, stirring and baking...

Jan, i hope u are happy. I nearly died frm exhaustion. Esp with all the cleaning up. Flo.. if u are reading this.. yes, i am maid of the hse now. oh. Happy 23rd birthday!!

he added me on msn!!!
he added me on msn!!!

*does little jig round my room*

not that it means anything.. cos it really doesnt.
but it's made my day.
-bigbigwidesmile-

after the barrage of pranks..
my poor friend called to ask me if turning up for a friend's graduation on sat was really genuine..

It is, dear Ms Sim...
it will be really funny if u thot it was a real prank and didnt turn up.
THAT would be aprils fool.

Runner up goes to Alex.. who wished me Happy April's Fool day 1 hr before midnight.. and after my bewilderment ("It's not yet april fools what!") realised he forgot to set his kitchen clock backwards by 1 hr because of daylights savings.

People.....
