today is the 30th of january
and i just got myself a new calendar!
HAHAHA.....it's not one of those wall calendars....
it's one of those desk calendars where you tear off a page for each day
it's the DILBERT 2009 calendar!
quite cool eh!
i've never bought such a calendar before.....i just saw it ON OFFER in BORDERS...
*evil grin*
i got it at a great price...only NZ$6!
it's original price was NZ$33.50
amazing? ya i thought so too.....=P
oh well....
no harm starting the day with a bit of humour right?
i've also made another interesting purchase today
i got some organic strawberries
or should i say A LOT of strawberries!
this i saw in the little 'organic trailer-stall' that comes on campus every friday
that's 1kg of strawberries!
impressive? hahaa....
i got it at NZ$10
i dunno wad made me get those strawberries
they're quite ripe actually....
which means i'm gonna be having lots of strawberries!
what better way to use up the strawberries than to make myself a big cup of strawberry juice?
mmm......
i try not to think about the amounts of sugar.....
i'll just focus on the vitamins and anti-oxidants...hahahha....
anyways i read somewhere that strawberries are good for the brain....even better!

got some fabric paint and glitter paste
i'm hoping maybe i could do something with my plain t-shirts....
oh i also got one of those wooden figures...those people use for sketching and stuff
err....i dunno if i'll ever use it for drawing...i hope i do
but it just looks real cute....quite amusing
well, i decided to give it a 'heart'....with the new glitter paste i bought
the before and after looks....
so.....haha...i think it looks better with the heart...it looks happier!
and it's no ordinary heart! it's glittery black!
took a while to shape that heart....now that's skill! HA!
i think i should call it "waldig"
apparently "waldig" is woody in german...err i dunno how true that is cos i just used one of those online translator things.....i tried translating it to different languages.....spanish...french...italian etc...but the german version looks most like a name haha..... imagine boisé (french) or boscoso (italian) or arbolado (spanish)...hmm...and i can't even pronounce the french one..haha!
ooo....maybe i should go make some 'interchangable faces'....stick it on waldig's face hehheh...
wanted to get a bamboo wind chime too......unfortunately the shop has closed down :(
hmm....now i gotta look for another type of wind chime....maybe i should look for those japanese type....
yesterday my seniors came over to my flat.....taught me a bit of sketchup
wah....i'm stressed....i have lots to learn
and it doesn't help when i have a more 'compressed' course compared to the rest
it just means i gotta do a WHOLE LOT of self-learning.....and hopefully i have enough time to do that
i wish i had that time-turner thing Hermione had in harry potter....that would be cool...
oh man....i have this whole pile of library books that have just been lying in my room....collecting dust.....hahah.....why did i borrow them in the 1st place.....i better do a bit of reading, i dun think i can renew them anymore.....

washing anything that could be washed
clothes....blankets.....sheets....pouches...pencil cases....
i think i've ran the washing machine non-stop maybe 5 times today?
the day before yesterday i think i ran it 4 times over and over again
i think my new flatmates must think i'm crazy or something
lol
i've also wiped the walls in my room with disinfectant....one of those yearly wipes
organised my wardrobe...and the dressing table...
got new room fragrance.....kinda like it cos it smells like freshly washed clothes
i finally found mothballs....wraped them up with paper and placed them around the cupboard and drawers
i even gave the bush outside my room a bit of a 'haircut'
how it looked like before
and then....
the final cut.....
well i gotta admit the original look had more character....
but too many spiders la
i'm hoping trimming it a lil' will reduce the chances of spiders hopping into my room....
oh ya.... look at the potatoes growing outside my room....they're right in front of that bush...
hmm.....decorated the candle holder too (err...ya it's just a cup la)
and did i mention i got a new metal pencil case?
hohoho.....i used a $10 voucher from borders and only paid $2 for it...:D
i think i must be too bored
doing all these cleaning....
maybe i should practise some autocad instead....
paul was freaking out cos he had a design study to hand in next monday
and he was partly freaking out due to the autocad....
DIE LIAO LA.....
if he freaks out......i'll be doomed
anyways i was trying a bit of that autocad using instructions from this super thick autocad book
1 hour passed and i was still at page 4.....
well i got a bit stuck when i clicked something and the whole ribbon disappeared...took me a while to get it back.....
went for my driving lesson yesterday
my official drive on nz roads
i haven't driven in a long long while....
good thing i can still remember how...
anyways....
should i get a beanbag?....i've been thinking of getting one for a while....
but it's so expensive......hai.....
but i haf a very empty corner.....(well it's not empty now but it will be soon)

did a whole lot of washing today
and the gum at the back of my mouth hurts...
makes my throat feel sore
makes me wanna drink cold water the whole day
finally boxed up my year's lecture notes
yawn...okay i better go sleep now......
i'm already falling asleep in front of the laptop.....

it's japanese fermented beans
what do they call it....natto or something?
i thought it would taste salty or something like those chinese fermented beans
but noooooo
how would i describe it?
erm....sorry to say it
but it tastes like chocolate mixed with melted plastic and puke
it's some acquired taste
i think that's one of the things in this world i cannot take...

i got a black Jeanswest blazer/jacket for NZ$10.49!
it's original price was NZ$79.99!
it has gone through a series of discounts....which means it has been hanging there for a while
but who cares! HAHAHAHA 10.49 LOL!
i think it's nice!....it's 1 button at the front and it has a modified tuxedo look to it
err i dun even know how often i'll use that.....
haha....but it will come in handy for any urgent smart casual/formal occasions
went to the beach yesterday
and it was one of the hottest days in christchurch
u can see and smell sunscreen....you can and even hear people mention sunscreen on the radio
it was just a HOT HOT HOT day
got a really weird tan.....i got 2 different tones of 'tan'
my legs got this yellowish tinge tan...which looks weird
cos my hands got the brown tan
hmm....
maybe it's the moisturiser i've been using...
look at the number of people on Sumner Beach!

happy new year!
anyway
i've decided to convert my singapore driving license to a nz one
but 1st i gotta pass the theory and practical test (oh yeah....and i thought i'll nv need to go for another driving test ever)
took the theory test today....easy, but the accumulated waiting time for me to get the test paper and to hand it back up was really really really long
i think i chose the wrong time to do the test, cos today was their 1st working day of the new year ....and there were lots of people there
i still gotta take the practical test....and i should go for a few lessons
which means i need to go book lessons
it's troublesome when you can't provide your own car for the lessons and test....
oh well....i hope i'll get the license in the end
went to town
got a gigantic drawing tube from gordon harris
it's so large i've decided to name it monster
err, sis said it's not a very creative name....
should i name it 'kreature' instead?
but it's really big.....
it's extendable, and at it's max it reaches the height of my shoulders
well
i've got no use for it now.....
maybe when school starts
i hope i put it to good use haha
i suddenly feel like stationery shopping
i love to buy stationery
maybe that's why i love to look at stuff in an art supplies shop
but maybe i should visit some stationery wholesaler...i'm wondering if there's one in town
i'll go explore then...heh
