Hmm...

So, I started work with Bingjun yesterday. It was quite fun working in the Estee Lauder warehouse. Haha! It's hell for girls to be working there... all the cosmetics & what-not in the world but not a single one to bring home. Haha! Lemme see, there's Bobbi Brown, Clinique, DKNY, Tommy, Lab Series, Origin, Estee Lauder... k, these are just some names that I remember packing or passing the shelves.

Well, at least now if the zoo calls to say I don't get hired, I'm already working someplace else that probably pays higher than the zoo.

Oh, I say I might not be hired because before me was a guy called Daniel who's already a Wildlife Guide in the Night Safari. And he's looking to work the same thing in the zoo as well, so with the experience he's had, he just might get it. Some more there's the possibility of me staying here for about 3months or so only... why would they wanna train me for about a month, only to have me work for 2 more months then quit?

Anyways, I finally emailed Scott O'Neill my coverletter, resume and a statement showing how I've fulfilled the selection criteria required of the Insectary Technician post in his lab. Actually, I really want this job because the contract is for 3 years... just nice y'know? Haha! Ya... mmm... 3 years probably can get me my PR already, but 3 years is also a time for me to fit in long-term into the Australian lifestyle, for me to think and consider if I really want to be a PR or just keep looking for jobs that are willing to sponsor me, kinda like Louis. And 3 years would let me continue to be with people like Mel, Yujun, Karen, Vic, Felicia, Jasmine, Debbie, Louis, Jessica, Cheryl... and recently I heard that Jonathan has been more expressive of his lamer side... so him too. And ST, if he somehow becomes less patriotic & wants to work here in Australia. Of course, the list isn't exhaustive. There's Emily & James & Max & Julia & William & Pauline... and Rad & Joanna & Sarah & Mas? Hahaha!

Aiyah... of course, all these are IF I get the job at UQ.

There's been a few bugging issues in my mind the past couple of days. But right now, I'm just too worn out to want to think about them, much less blog about them.

*sigh*

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went to Wendy's place last night to start & finish up a puzzle we (Jo, Carolyn & myself) bought her for a birthday present. Hahaha! I gotta say this: I told her not to buy so many snacks: chips, chips, chips, ice-cream... but she was like, no no no, you all come my house, I must at least have something to offer you all mah! And I was like, no lor, I bet in the end nobody will eat one lor. Everyone will be busy doing the puzzle...

True enough, at the end of the night, Wendy had stomach pains after eating an ice-cube and went to bed at... say, 1+? We finished the 500 piece puzzle of Ariel & Flounder at 2:15am. Took some pictures, glued the pieces together, then the 3 of us sat down for a little chit chat... Soon after, say 3? Carolyn slept in the living room and Joanna & I read Her World magazines that are full of thrash. By then, only 2 packets of chips were eaten, plus 1 500mL tub or Choc-Mint Chip ice-cream finished by yours truly. Haha!

Woke up at about 7 when Wendy's parents woke up. Helped Wendy frame up her puzzle, hang it, then installed Photoshop for her, then we left her place at 8. Got home at 9 (surprisingly long journey but still cheaper than MRT) and slept till 1. Haha! The intention was to wake at 11 but I didn't have much to do so I just kept on sleeping. The only thing that roused my sleep was the nagging thought that I might just oversleep and be late or miss xiaozu altogether.

So here I am. =)

"Was I right, was I wrong?
A little too weak, a little too strong?
Was it him, was it me?
Oh, I guess I'll never know.
Well, you're up then you're down,
Oh, but the world keeps turnin' around.
Ain't it hard to find
Somethin' to hang on to?

But I know that my heart will mend,
And I know that I'll smile again.
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again!

Some you lose, some you win;
They say that's the way it's always been.
First you laugh, then you cry,
Oh, but I guess that's life.

So you live and you learn,
And never look back at the bridges you burned.
And you change somehow,
Oh, I'm a little bit wiser now

I'll do it all over again."

-Crystal Gayle: I'd Do It All Over Again

"Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease,
Burn the fishplate, execute ill memories.
Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave.
And too much truth overshadows the limelight,
Cos' what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity,
But sanity don't come cheap!

You don't know the truth and I love your life.
You don't know the truth and I love your life!
Cos' you don't know the truth and I love your life.

Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter.
And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be,
Where I'm content to be, to be all by myself.
And frozen eyes are bound to melt."

Love me if you dare... 14:24
