#152 nerdy nerd nerd.

from loldwell.com

in other nerd news

been watching the vlogbrothers

a lot lately

ie. i've been having mini marathons

watching their old daily blogs to each other

i enjoy the fact that they're nerds

and talk about books, and politics and science and maths

as opposed to pop culture.

woot,

DFTBA!

:D

oh, jiali
you've made my day.
showing me the vid of a certain singaporean
HAHAHA.

it's going to be a night of intense studying tonight
cos i want to stay up tonight
and study heaps
instead of staying up on wedensday night
stressing
and studying
before my exam on thursday
gives me more time you know.

also,
i don't like whoring myself out
or anything
but if any of you who regularly read this
and have a blogger account or a google account
please follow this blog.
cos it makes me feel a little bit sad that i have so few followers, thats all.
:(

TOO MUCH #150

so today when i got to get the bus for work
as usual
there was this guy at the bus stop with
TOO MUCH COLOGNE ON
i mean it in the way that well
the morning around 8am these days is absolutely freezing
and because of the lack of heat
smell would be less prominent
as in because your body is colder and so the smell would spread as far
and as quickly
and also the air is cold
so it also wouldn't spread as fast or far
but this guy had SO much on that i could smell it
even though i way about a metre and a half away from him
then when i got on the bus
i proceeded to head to the back row
and he just HAD to follow me and sit on the other side of the back row
and the smell was so INTENSE
to the point i had to cover my mouth with my scarf
but i didn't move seats til we got to footscray
so that i wouldn't seem as rude
since many people vacate their seats at footscray
and i moved to the front half of the bus
in front of the glass
(actually though i think i did seem quite rude, cos my scarf was in my face. but it wasn't my fault i could barely breathe because of all the smell. and i felt nauseous)
yeah, so i was fine for most of the bus ride
but slowly i could start smelling it again
even though he was in the back
and i was in the middle separate by a barrier of glass (sort of)
and the annoying thing was
he stayed on the bus for pretty much as long as i did
(and thats like 40 minutes)
ugh.
it was gross.

:S

jacky didn't find my joke below funny.

sigh.

he was like,

"but what if someone wants to tell a knock knock joke"

double sigh.

How to avoid knock knock jokes

"Knock knock"
"Come in!"

LOL.

(as usual)
sigh.

9 days til my first exam
and yes, i concur jiali
this year has gone way too fast.

can't wait for exams to be over.
can't wait til next semester
only three subjects
and two exams
woot.

#145

funny thing happened today

so today me and jacky were pretty broke

cos he didn't get paid

and i haven't got paid yet either

and all we had was $4 in my eftpos

so we were just going to get two bacon cheeseburgers from maccas

but the whilst looking through my wallet

he found slash remembered that we had free mini chip vouchers from grill'd

and they expired today

so luckily he found them

so yes,

we got two mini chips to go with our cheeseburgers

we also almost got three of the chips

because i think the guy accidentally doubled ordered

but we were nice and told them

besides we probably wouldn't have finished all the chips anyway

so it would've been a waste.

i love it when things turn out so perfectly.

:)

#144

i find it a bit weird when the date is written 5/30/10

instead of 30/5/10

because i see it quite a lot

because i think americans write the date the first way

but i find it silly because wouldn't it make more sense if it is written

day/month/year

rather than month/day/year

i don't know.

i'm just saying.

♥

#143 BHERG

so apparently thats my last name
i had to fill in this form for work
and faxed it along with the other names of the staff
and they sent us back stuff
and they labelled mine as
'Alison Bherg'
LOL.
yeah, i don't see how they managed to mistake the B for a Z
maybe, the other letter are forgivable
but seriously?
a B for a Z?

at least i got free stuff
so i don't mind too much

:D

#141 bucks

currently listening to my lectures
and this one lecturer keeps saying
380 million BUCKS
but it sounds so weird
i mean you can say
10 or 20 bucks or even 50 bucks
100 may even be pushing it
but billion is too big a number to associate with bucks
yes,
i prefer dollars instead.

ok, back to lectures now.

:( #140

its so sad when:

you make a packet soup

and you wait til its cool enough to drink

but you wait a bit to long

AND THE CROUTONS ARE SOFT!

:(

heads up

might not be up to date these days

or the posts are a lot shorter.

but i'll be

stressed for tests and exams and things

so, please excuse me :)

promise, will update them all in due time.

#139

i was thinking:
the lyric
from ronan keating's love ballad
"you say it best when you say nothing at all"
is the best way to tell someone to shut up.
or the nicest way.
haha.

phone in bra? #138

i find it really weird
but i've seen two people
(women obviously)
that have done it this week.
isn't it really unconfortable?
like i saw them both,
take the phone out
and then reach into the top to put it back it.
very odd.

speaking of odd places to put things.
i also saw a man carry a packet of chocolate biscuits in his jacket
i don't mean in his pocket
but his brown jacket was zipped up
and the biscuits were sticking out from inside
ie. the biscuits were next to his chest.
also very weird.
i also wonder, why he was carry a pack of biscuits
because he didn't have a bag
and he was travelling to the city
with biscuits.

strange, strange people.

BYE!

language barrier #137

so yesterday at work

there was this old lady who came in

and she was chinese

but she spoke another dialect that i don't speak

so here's me

trying to speak to her in broken mandarin

(if you have heard me speak, i really do suck. but i can sort of understand)

trying to figure out what she wanted

and i kept saying that i didn't understand what she said

but she kept going and going

even though she knew i didn't understand

it took me nearly an hour to finally fix everything up for her

and i was so frustrated.

sigh.

at least we figured it out at the end.

yeah,

also, i dislike when i get customers who speak mandarin

cos i'm not that good at it

especially if they ask me about things like fish oil tabs or something

but i'm ok, if they're just getting repeats

and the customer usually doesn't even really know i have shit mandarin.

there's also this old man that makes fun of my cantonese and mandarin

and he calls me 'heart'

cos thats what my chinese name sort of is

but i find him funny.

:)

he's seen jacky before

and he keeps telling me that jacky should be a boxer,

cos he's so big.

lol.

#136 DOMINOES

sorrryyyyyyyyyyyyy

i haven't posted in so long.

just been so busy and everything.

i will finish catching up on all the days

by tonight.

promise.

so tonight, i had to go to my uncles house

for his birthday

and i taught my cousin how to cheat.

haha.

no,

i mean i taught her how to play the card game cheat.

and emma was there.

even though it was a family thing.

gatecrasher.

haha, i kid.

it was so cute that vincent (my cousin, 7yo)

seemed so happy cos titus (emma's bro, 12yo)

was there

and they were running around playing all boy things

and shooting foam darts and stuff

whenever i come over these days vincent and sarah

just play their ds

haha

i'm not exciting to them anymore.

though i used to be.

sigh.

also, played dominoes with the adults

and emma's mum kept winning

like 90% of the time

lol.

but at least i did win once.

:)

also,

mum kept going about how

making the masterchef cake wasn't worth it

and it cost almost as much as buying a cake

but i beg to differ

since i only used like a bit of everything

and didnt spend that much

but i guess she meant cost

as in effort as well

but there's lots of ingredients left

and i found it fun.

and i was my first time baking a cake

so i was pretty successful for my first attempt.

♥

CAKE #135

i made a cake today

it looked like this:

pretty successful,

it had a vanilla mascopone cream layer

with semi candied cherries

and a layer of

well it said

'chocolate hazelnut praline mousse'

but it was hardly a mousse

more like a thick chocolate fudge

and tasted a bit like nutella

with praline covered hazelnuts.

the let down was the cake it self though

but i guess

it was the first cake i've ever baked

especially from scratch

and well

at least it was edible

though very dry

but i did manage to moisten it a little

by spreading the cherry syrup over it

&

i will get better at it

eventually

:)

also,

twas sonja's 21st party

had jap food which was yum

& i got so full!

but i missed out on cupcakes from the party.

:(

boo!
