carving itself again at 5:05 PM
hmm....i hate that nagging feeling of semester starting in about a month
i hope i get a good studio desk
although i think my chances are not that high
cos i'm not an aggressive table snatcher hahah!
maybe i should practise some of that singaporean kiasu spirit?
anyways, i've just been doing some self study? sort of.
i got 3 landscape architecture books from Amazon... a desprate attempt to make my life easier when school starts
so i'm currently reading a SketchUp book for site design....so far i've learnt a bit...although this book seems to have lots of typo errors?!
i also got a graphics book that was recommemded for students when i was in year 1...hahaha...took me 2 years to decide to get that book lol!
and another book called Landscape Architecture graphic standards
hopefully that comes in handy for my work...i'm quite sure it will
besides that, back to the gym too
i've gained too much weight in Canada hahahah!
so it's time to lose it!
oh, i think i got a few good offers too recently....hahahha
here goes aunty jac again....
i got a time planner/organiser for 25% off (hoping it helps me manage my time better)
i also got a desk calendar...i kinda waited until it went on 75% sale hahah!
last year i got a Dilbert one, this year it's a Get Fuzzy one
at about NZ$8, i think it's quite a bargain =P
Get Fuzzy Desk Calendar
and since it's a new year
i've got a new room layout and i even got some new room decor!
_
the new room decor, sure adds a bit of sparkle to my bookshelf eh?
only $2...i got it from the cheap shop in riccarton
at first, i hung these shiny mirror balls randomly around the ceiling around my room
but it somehow didnt feel right...wasn't what i thought it would look like
perhaps it felt messy...or maybe i just dun really like that something's hanging around in the middle of the room?
i think i have OCD man! hahah!
so, it'll have to stay at the side of the room
oh, also collected my new specs from specsavers
finally i have new specs! yay!
i'm wearing one of the new specs now
and it's giving me a headache!
Osiris frames from Specsavers, 2 for 1
but still cost me NZ$599!
cos the eye exam and multicoat cost an extra $210!
they sure know how to make $$
i kinda like the new frames
although i think i may need to get it adjusted a bit
it's so troublesome with low/no nose bridge
makes finding specs so difficult
oh i like their cases! hahaha....so fun, there's this button to press which slowly opens the lid of the case
i hope i don't play with it too much and spoil the case!
oh and i like the cleaning cloth too....it's round and black!
cooked some beef sauce last friday....erm, in Canada it would be called chili
but yeah, it's just the sauce over nacho chips
hahha, oh yea we had that for dinner =)
the sauce turned out pretty well, i also added a bit of real chili to spice it up
yummers!
baked some cookies too! i love those cookies!
